After Liu Yun's words, Lao Jiang finally dispelled his doubts, finally made up his mind to visit the United States, and was sincerely convinced of Liu Daguan's ability, and immediately promoted him to the position of state adviser of the Nanjing Military Commission, subordinate to the chamberlain office of the Jiang Commission, and intended to let this guy go to the United States with him, and always put forward some bad ideas.

How can Liu Yun be so stupid, he is already a small achievement in the western Sichuan area, and he is about to become the king of western Sichuan, who is willing to go to the United States with Lao Jiang to eat ashes, unless his head is really kicked by a donkey, of course, he will not refuse openly, only a tactful reminder that the more people, the easier it is to have accidents.

"It's easy to have an accident", this reminds Lao Jiang, yes, Liu Yun is good, it's just younger, people are young and easy to act impulsively, in case they lose face and miss a big thing, but it will be troublesome, then President Jiang's face will be thrown abroad, yes, young people, it's better not to go.

Kong Caishen was intentional or unintentional, he glanced at someone, but it was just a blank eye, and Liu Yun was also laughing, for fear that Lao Jiang would react, so he wanted to run away directly, but Jiang Weizuo just liked him, and pulled him to babble for a long time, it turned out that it was still for the munitions.

Lao Jiang's Central Army is as high as 600,000, and at the same time, there are some relatively close miscellaneous armies, which have exceeded 1 million, and they are really powerless for the 300,000 troops in the Chuankang area, so I hope that Liu Yun's Western Sichuan Arsenal will provide armaments for the reorganization of the Chuankang army.

Before Lao Jiang's words were finished, Liu Yun already understood, it seemed that Liu Wenhui's desire to buy arms was just a temptation between Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang, and he wanted to see what weapons the Western Sichuan Arsenal could produce.

If you want to produce German weapons in western Sichuan, Liu Yun doesn't care, he doesn't have many troops now, and the weapons produced are also for the use of the Chinese army itself, and the future of the western Sichuan army is a large air force and a small number of armored troops, as for the ordinary infantry, it is good to throw them all to the Sichuan army.

It's just that the arms in western Sichuan can't be given in vain, and Lao Jiang and Kong Caishen can also understand how to pay for the arms, everyone is still a little disagreed, Liu Yun hopes that it is a full gold transaction, and the large amount can also be preferred, and the price is only lower than the original goods in Germany, and as for the quality problem, a military order can be issued.

Liu Yun's words blocked Lao Jiang's fiat currency and silver dollars outside the door, Kong Caishen saw that Lao Jiang's face was a little black, so he had to cough dryly and come out of the round, and asked Liu Daguan very casually on the surface, what do you want gold for, that thing can't be eaten, western Sichuan is located inland, and you can't spend it if you want to.

"What for?" That's a good question, of course Liu Yun won't tell them that in order to stabilize finance, the United States has stipulated silver as the legal tender base gold in recent years, mainly because the Americas are rich in silver, especially the Mexican Eagle Ocean (silver dollar) is famous in the world, but with the full-scale outbreak of war in Europe and Asia, the status of gold will rise rapidly, and finally gold will be used as the base gold of the dollar.

At that time, the whole world will be crazy about gold, but due to China's own inattention and the plundering of the Japanese devils, by the time of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, the country's gold reserves were only a few hundred tons, and both the government and the people were poor.

Therefore, since 1935, Liu Yun has consciously reserved gold, and once the all-out war of resistance breaks out in the future, whether it is to pay for American aid or trade with other countries, gold is the best hard currency.

From November last year to August 1935, Kong Yuling did not say how many tons of gold the United Pharmaceutical Factory in Hankou had earned, and Liu Yun did not take the initiative to ask, but according to his own estimates, the monthly gold reserves were dozens of tons, and the current total reserves were only a few hundred tons.

However, with Kong Yuling's personal preference, it should be placed in the Bank of England in the majority, and Liu Yun's meaning is also obvious, since he handed over the United Pharmaceutical Factory to Miss Kong, then he should believe her, as long as she thinks it is suitable, she will do it, and under normal circumstances, she will never take the initiative to intervene.

And if these things are done by Liu Yun himself, the accumulation and reserves of gold may not be as handy as Kong Yuling, at present, Britain is still the world hegemon, and it will not be replaced by the United States until after World War II, so it is actually not bad to put gold in the British Empire.

Of course, if it is money earned by arms, Liu Yun plans to put it in a secret vault in western Sichuan, whether it is to make a base fund for Huaxia Bank in the future, or to pay the military expenses of the Soviet Union and the United States, these are the best choices, and after the end of the War of Resistance against Japan, Huaxia does not have to pay such a big price.

Liu Yun only dared to think about these words in his heart, and he definitely didn't dare to say them, these are all future opportunities, if he says it now, whether Lao Jiang and Kong Caishen believe it or not, it is still a problem, and at the same time, if it causes unknown butterfly benefits, or other chain reactions, it will be troublesome.

When Finance Minister Kong Xiangxi said that his saliva was dry, Liu Yun reluctantly agreed, and lowered the price of arms for a German armourer, which can be filled with US dollars, but the amount of gold must not be less than five tons, and as for the yen, fiat currency, and silver dollars, they still belong to auxiliary currencies.

For Liu Yun's problem, Lao Jiang and Kong Caishen were also dumbfounded, and it was actually not bad when they thought about it in a blink of an eye, this guy liked gold so much, he would not cooperate with bandits, robbers, or other small warlords, because these people have no money in their hands, let alone gold, and even silver dollars are rare.

As for gold, Huaxia is so big, as long as Lao Jiang and Kong Caishen want to get some, they can still get it, such as Zhang Shaoshuai, who wandered around in the Guannei, Long Yun, who was in charge of Yunnan, and Shandong Han Fuqu, who occupied the Zhaoyuan gold mine, and other warlord leaders, all of whom had more or less gold reserves.

Of course, Lao Jiang and Kong Caishen themselves, there is also a large amount of gold, but this thing is an internationally renowned hard currency, if you want to do business with foreigners, it is absolutely indispensable, the ocean and fiat currency are really similar to waste paper for foreigners, as for the dollar and the pound, even Britain and the United States themselves are lacking.

Lao Jiang is also a person who would rather die than suffer, he thought about it for a long time with a black face before nodding and agreeing to this matter, it is very simple for him to agree, the Sino-Japanese war is imminent, now is a good time to transfer property and equipment, if you can take the opportunity to transfer the gold to western Sichuan, it is also a good choice.

So Lao Jiang and Liu Yun said that the gold sold for arms would be divided into five and a half accounts, that is to say, if the arms of a German armor division could be sold for ten tons of gold, then Lao Jiang would have to divide five tons, and the accounts and reserves of this gold would be managed by Kong Caishen himself, so that everyone could rest assured.

Liu Yun has no opinion on this arrangement, Kong Caishen is the Minister of Finance, and he started as a big businessman, so he has a natural intuition about the handling of various financial businesses, and the gold of the United Pharmaceutical Factory is not also in the hands of his daughter, Miss Kong, so he is naturally very relieved.

After that, Liu Yun flew back to West Sichuan County, hung up the signboard of the West Sichuan Arsenal, and started the arms business in a grand manner, and made it clear that gold is preferred, and the more gold, the more discounts, overnight, the price of gold has doubled a few times, and the country's gold began to gradually flow to Sichuan.

After Liu Yun returned to western Sichuan, the first thing he did was to inform Liu Wencai and ask him to convey to Liu Wenhui of Xikang, that the market of arms in western Sichuan had changed, and everything else was easy to say, only the amount of gold was wrong, and according to the guide price of arms in Nanjing, it would not be possible to ship any less than ten tons of gold.

If Liu Wenhui still wants arms, it would be better to prepare a little more gold, for for this arms deal, Liu Daguan has already taken a great risk, Chairman Jiang said, "This is the only time, not an example," which made Liu Wencai also stunned, so he had to immediately go back and send a telegram asking for instructions.

Speaking of gold reserves, Liu Yun is most afraid of special forces, who can deal with special forces, or special forces themselves, fortunately, in the past month, with the defection of Wang Dingxing and Luo Liulang, many bandits in Sichuan have come over in an endless stream, and the town in western Sichuan is about to become the capital of bandits.

Liu Yun's attitude towards these people is obvious, good food, good drink, good treatment, if he really defects, he will naturally not be treated badly, he will be directly sent to the special training base for training, and handed over to the German special forces instructors for fierce training.

For those who deliberately want to make trouble, they will be severely punished, and they will be thrown directly to the mine to mine, and some of them will temporarily come to western Sichuan to settle down and see the customs here, Liu Yun also stretched out his hands to welcome, in a word, as long as he is not here to deliberately make trouble, he will be treated with courtesy.

As far as Liu Yun is concerned, the current focus of his work is still to repair the railway, and he believes that as long as the railway in Sichuan is repaired, it will not be too late to talk about the army and industry, otherwise no matter how powerful the western Sichuan arsenal is, it can produce tens of thousands of tanks every year, and "the blind man lights the lamp for nothing", because it cannot be shipped out at all.

Kawanishi University has been established for a long time, and the problem is that there are not many students at all. First, they can't recruit people, everyone is too unfamiliar with this new thing, Liu Yun himself is stubborn, unwilling to borrow the brands of those famous schools, and more importantly, there is no place to choose a job after graduating from this university.

If it is to stay in western Sichuan as a farmer, which hot-blooded young man is willing, Liu Daguan has no choice but to give priority to the local residents of western Sichuan, as well as the bandits who have just taken refuge.

By the end of August, West Sichuan University had recruited 1,200 people, but the Air Force Academy had the largest number, and now it has reached more than 800 people, including Lao Chiang, Liu Xiang, and the Red Army.

Liu Yun, the principal, after thinking about it again, decided to separate the Air Force from the military academy and set up a special air force academy, which was taught by Luftwaffe instructors and aircraft experts.

Theoretically speaking, every one of the more than 800 air force cadets has the opportunity to become a pilot, and after six months of initial training, they will be trained as flight crews, and those who are qualified will be appointed as air crews, and those who are not qualified will be assigned to local service personnel, and then they will be appropriately assigned to special forces and medical personnel, so that a real flight wing can be formed, and the best of them will remain as new instructors at the Air Force Academy.

I don't know why, the Germans have done a good job in everything, that is, there is some procrastination in the air force, and the aircraft designers and air force commanders who have promised in advance have not yet fulfilled their promises, and General Falkenhausen in Wuhan has repeatedly comforted them, and the personnel will soon arrive.
