Chapter 13 The situation is stronger than the man
With the lengthening of the Northern Expedition and the expansion of the war situation, after the army arrived in the Yangtze River Valley, military spending was seriously insufficient, and political issues were also involved. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the end of August this year, the National Revolutionary Army won a great victory at Hesheng Bridge, and the capture of the three towns of Wuhan was just around the corner. However, the rift between Chang Gong and the left wing of the Nationalist Government, represented by Liao Zhongkai, Soong Ching-ling, and Wang Jingwei, advocated cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, overthrowing the warlord powers, and striving for national independence. The Comintern also sent advisers to command the domestic war situation, hoping to take control of China. However, after all, the Comintern is an outsider, not to mention that it does not have a deep understanding of the situation in China, so it is so rash to come over to point out the country, so that no one is comfortable, is this my territory or the territory of you Soviets? Therefore, Chang Gong and Soviet advisers Borodin and Galen must have contradictions and differences.
Although the Soviet advisers came here in the name of helping, in the final analysis, it must be for the interests of the Soviet Union to restrict the development of the National Revolutionary Army, so Borodin and Galen advocated that after capturing Wuhan, they should first go to the northwest to join Feng Yuxiang's troops, and oppose the capture of Wuhan and move to the southeast. However, Chang Gong was unwilling, although he was forced to agree to "first set Sanxiang, restore Wuhan, and then join forces with our friendly Nationalist Army". But not long ago, in early September, the National Revolutionary Army captured Hanyang and Hankou successively, and Chang Gong began to deploy troops to fight eastward in order to strengthen his control over the army. This dictatorial approach was the first to be rejected by the left wing of the Nationalist Government, and then not only did it disrupt the military supply plan, but also the military expenditure of the Guangdong Provincial Treasury was also stretched. Chang Gong is in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and now he is about to "run out of money and ammunition", and the food expenses of the army at the front are almost unable to be paid, so he can only ask for help from the God of Wealth.
But no one's money is planted on the ground, and in the face of Chang Gong's "October salary, which has not yet been remitted, in the Hubei army, it may be possible, and in the first, second, third, sixth and fourteenth armies in Jiangxi (formerly known as the 4th Division of the Jiangxi Army, expanded into the 14th Army in September), there is no penny. Today, there are only 10,000 yuan left in the headquarters, and the food in front of it is as urgent as a spark, and the embarrassment is so much that there is nothing to do...... Only to blame and judge yourself, to thank the soldiers! "Woohoo wail, Song Ziwen is also helpless, no matter how much money you have, you can't use it like this. Moreover, there are also the soft grinding and hard bubbles of Zhang Jingjiang and Tan Yanmin, the two uncles, and Song Ziwen is also a big head, so he can only start to raise military spending. Recently, it was learned that more than 1,400 southern businessmen were invited to take the Yangtze River as the boundary, and now according to statistics, 132 have come to save face. This made Song Ziwen settle down a little, for 10,000 per person, there must be more than 1 million, although it can't solve the fundamental problem, it's better than nothing.
I also heard that the president of the Chamber of Commerce was here to entertain the group of businessmen, and hurried over, originally planning to let them play in Guangzhou for a few more days, at least in early October, they had to talk about money, but now the situation is pressing, and if they don't give money, the front mutiny, and the Northern Expedition will fall short, this, Song Ziwen is a sinner through the ages.
Many of the business leaders present did not understand what was going on, and they were smiling and communicating with all parties. After Huo Ting talked with several young rookies who came to China to do business abroad, she walked up to Yan Buwen and the others, and Boss Duo turned his face. Huo Ting couldn't help laughing and said, "What, Boss Duo, you're not welcome?" ”
"Hehe, since you know, why do you want to humiliate yourself, we have a total of five seats, not more than one, you still sit next to you." Boss Duo smiled and was about to "please" Huo Ting away, but Huo Ting just smiled casually: "Don't worry about Boss Duo, I'll bring a chair from the side." ”
Huo Ting didn't mind, so she took a chair directly from the next table and sat between the five of them, facing Boss Duo.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Boss Huo, a busy man, how can you have the kung fu to come over?" What about the four young masters who followed you? ”
"I branched out, and now I'm not here to quarrel with you, but to discuss important matters." Huo Ting said.
"Something important? What's important for Boss Huo? Liu Xiyong asked.
Huo Ting smiled: "We are all from Shanghai, so naturally we have to be in the same breath, and we can't be rash, you are right, little sister Duoduo." Huo Ting looked at Boss Duo with a smile on her face, and Boss Duo snorted coldly without squeaking.
"What do you mean by the same breath? What does it mean? Cafford said.
Huo Ting's slender fingers drew a symbol on the table, and then looked at everyone: "What do you say?" ”
Yan Buwen saw clearly that Huo Ting drew a "$" on her fingers.
Boss Duo said angrily: "If you have anything, just say it, what kind of thing to sell, who has time to guess what you think." ”
"Huh." Huo Ting said, "Well, it's also for everyone's good, after all, everyone's money is not blown by the wind, and it is best to reduce the investment if you can, and it will not affect the company's operation." Therefore, I hope that when everyone donates at that time, we will agree on the same amount, and we must not compare with others, do not ask for too much, but ask for the same, you also know that this army is a bottomless pit when it asks for money, and if it is glued, it is a vampire, and it will not stop if we don't suck our blood dry. Although this matter is a good thing for the country and the people, we must not let our good intentions go to waste, only we can remember our credit, and those who are in power and the army will forget us completely afterwards. ”
Except for Boss Duo, Lin Yuan and the four of them nodded first, don't let yourself become a victim of political struggles or even wars. Others can't remember their good for a lifetime, but if they don't treat themselves well, they will be unforgettable for a lifetime. Huo Ting said: "Little sister Duoduo, I'm just afraid that you will be angry with me, although there is a conflict between us, but it is just a private person, don't rise to the big level." ”
Huo Ting went up and stroked Boss Duo's hand and told her to remember.
Boss Duo was surprised: "Why are you so kind? ”
Huo Ting smiled: "Kindness is a bit fake, isn't it?" It doesn't matter, it's a trivial matter to fight over anger and quarrel in ordinary times, and we have to stand on the united front at a critical time. ”
Huo Ting disagreed, many times she had to do a lot of things, and she had to move her whole body, and only by consolidating her battle line like an iron plate could she make people impenetrable.
Lin Yuan asked, "Did you hear any rumors?" ”
Huo Ting said: "That's right, this time Finance Minister Song Ziwen came, it is estimated that he wants to raise a sum of money first, so I specially came to inform you, when the time comes, look at my eyes, step by step, just like a sheep, take your time, let them enter our trap step by step." Huo Ting is delicate and has a long-term perspective, if the Minister of Finance comes forward this time, they will be grateful and help them in full, and they will only end up with the name of a big fat sheep. However, if you change your thinking and donate the money you originally planned to donate, you will donate slowly in several times, and each time you donate, you will have some benefits, which will be beneficial to consolidating your commercial building.
Lin Yuan continued: "I hope you are not seeking skin with the tiger this time. ”
