Chapter 1497 makes a lot of money

At the beginning of the lanterns, the whole Xinjing City is lively, the sound of firecrackers in the streets and alleys continues to sound, a large number of fireworks in the sky jump high, rendering the night sky under the moon a brilliant one, and the streets and alleys of Xinjing are all full of colorful lanterns, pushing the festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival to the highest point.

Jiang Dingwen, Huang Shaohong, Chen Jiji, and Zhang Wenbai took the army's special car, returned from outside the city, and along the way, they enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Xinjing through the window glass, and saw that many places actually sang Peking Opera on a high platform, and the audience was like a tide, and the applause was endless, and they couldn't help but sigh that the influence of Chinese culture here has penetrated into all aspects of society.

When they returned to the No. 2 villa of the Government Mansion where they stayed, they saw Zhang Fakui, a general of the Guangdong Army with an angry face and a tantrum at the adjutant Hua Bingyue, and the four of them hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him. Hua Bingyue was like a big man, and left with a disgraced face.

The four of them dragged Zhang Fakui to sit down on the sofa, and then enthusiastically told him about his visit around Hanoi today. After breakfast in the morning, they did not get an invitation to meet with An Yi for a long time, so they called a car and went to Nanhu Lake in the south of Xinjing to visit Xia Jian, the commander of the front army in charge of the defense of the northern part of South China.

Accompanied by Xia Jian, the four of them visited six large industrial zones and 12 large wholesale markets under construction in the southern part of the city. The industrial zone mainly accepts light industrial enterprises such as electronics, textiles, wood products processing, and food processing that are less polluting, while the wholesale market is refined to textiles, plastic products, furniture, electronic appliances, hardware, clothing, auto parts, building materials, decoration and other professional markets. Nanhua's business philosophy is that only when there is a large circulation will there be great development, so every city will build such a large business area for all parts of the country to purchase goods and exchange goods.

In the future, all cities in South China, in the central urban area will be preset logistics warehousing warehouse land, at the same time, the country's logistics will be registered in a unified manner, whether it is a collective or individual transport vehicles, will be based on the deployment of goods in various places, arrange their own itinerary, to avoid the situation of empty return of transport companies, resulting in a huge waste of road and transportation resources.

I just watched it in a casual way, and the day passed quickly, and this trip can be described as an eye-opener, which has a huge impact on Huang Shaohong and Zhang Wenbai, who are in charge of the government.

After listening to the explanation of the four people, Zhang Fakui couldn't help but regret a little, when he had breakfast in the morning, Huang Shaohong had invited him to travel, but he shirked it because he was busy with official business and needed to use the radio to contact the army, and when he went to the Concierge House restaurant to eat at noon, he heard He Jinhan and others tell about what happened in the South China Government Council in the morning, and he had the intention to show off in front of his juniors, so he went to the door with a big grin, and trained Xu Ziliang, Zhang Peigong and others well to show his strength. Who wanted An Yi and Song Meiling to arrive, they made a fuss, and they were almost imprisoned and lost face.

After listening to Zhang Fakui's account of what happened behind the government affairs yuan and the ministry building in the afternoon, Huang Shaohong and others couldn't help but secretly congratulate themselves that they went out early and were not involved in this dispute. Although this matter seems to be thunderous and rainy, and the result of the treatment seems to be painless, the impact is not small at all. Song Meiling has seen everything from beginning to end, and after going back, she will definitely add oil and vinegar to Chiang Kai-shek's ears, Zhang Fakui is nothing to lead the troops to fight, and He Jinhan and others have finally won the opportunity to show their faces in front of Chiang Kai-shek, this time not only will not achieve any effect, but will have a counterproductive effect.

In addition, since He Jinhan, Deng Wenyi, Kang Ze and others can not go out, then the achievement of this mission has nothing to do with them, going out has neither merit nor hard work, but destroys the unity of South China and the mother country, this alone is estimated to make Chiang Kai-shek thunderous, presumably after learning from the pain at this time, He Jinhan and others beat their chests and feet in Villa No. 3, regretting it! As long as they think that there will be similar major events in the future, Chiang Kai-shek will not entrust them, and this alone is difficult to accept.

Just when Huang Shaohong and Jiang Dingwen were discussing how to fulfill the chairman's trust, Lin Yaodong came to the door, and he respectfully invited the four to the banquet hall of the Government House, where An Yi set up a banquet to discuss important matters.

The four of them glanced at each other, extremely happy, knowing that An Yi invited him at this time, he must have reached an agreement with Song Meiling, just go and sign to confirm, no need to bother more.

With such a great credit shared by four people, it is presumable that the chairman of the committee will also look at himself differently in the future.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, after the guests and hosts exchanged affectionate greetings, An Yi really took out the documents that had been prepared and asked Jiang Dingwen and the four of them to look at them.

The four of them circulated it once, and they were secretly alarmed by An Yi's generous investment of 100 million oceans of interest-free loans again. However, they didn't know that this was only a small part of An Yi's huge gains during this time.

With the sudden outbreak of large-scale plague, cholera, dysentery, meningitis, typhoid, whooping cough, influenza, anthrax, chickenpox, dengue fever and other epidemic diseases throughout Australia in January, most of the more than 9 million Australians (unlike history, there are more than 200,000 Chinese immigrants at this moment) were infected with the disease, and the hospitals were overcrowded, and the demand for sulfonamides, panmoxicillin, simoxicillin (streptomycin) and special cold medicines suddenly magnified to a terrifying number.

After giving priority to ensuring the drug needs of the Chinese in Australia, the pharmaceutical factories in Xiangxi, Syria and Yunnan started production at full capacity, and the authorized pharmaceutical factories in Nanyang and North America also went all out, and a boatload of anti-inflammatory drugs was quickly shipped to Australia and quickly sold out.

At this time in Australia, due to the early discovery of many extra-large mineral deposits, there are more than 50,000 factories, including ore, glass, chemicals, steel, textiles, tanning, clothing, tobacco, wine, wood, furniture, papermaking, printing, electrical, rubber, musical instruments, jewelry, magnets, etc., the industrial categories are extremely perfect, the total number of workers has exceeded 2 million, the total value of industrial products is 1.3 billion pounds, and the gross national product is 1.6 billion pounds. Its eastern and southeastern coastal areas, including New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria, such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and a large number of industrially developed large cities have appeared, that is to say, the current Australia, fat and oily, per capita wealth is even higher than the British mainland.

The huge accumulation of wealth has given Anyi Group a good opportunity to make money. In the face of the test of life and death, many Australians have taken out their life savings, and even did not hesitate to bankrupt their families and borrowed heavily to save their lives and their families, just in late January and early February, the sales of drugs were as high as 200 million and 300 million US dollars respectively.

With the rapid emergence and spread of bizarre infectious diseases in Australia, which has led to a global panic, the demand for anti-inflammatory drugs has magnified to astronomical numbers in a short period of time.

At present, Anyi Group has hoarded anti-inflammatory drugs for many years, and gradually thrown them to the market, while Xiangxi Factory, Xufu Factory and Yunnan Factory have increased production workshops and greatly increased production lines.

In addition to the apocalyptic view held by some religions, many scientists believe that the various diseases that have occurred in Australia are a side effect of the development of underground mineral deposits, after all, no one knows what minerals are harmful to humans hidden in the soil buried deep underground for millions of years.

By mid-February, almost all countries had closed their trade and diplomatic channels to Australia, declared Australians an undesirable ethnic group, and even its suzerain, Britain, under pressure from the people, announced that it would temporarily cut off all contacts with Australia, and all Australian ships were not allowed to dock in the British Isles and were all repatriated, and Australians who went to the Commonwealth countries on business were also immediately expelled, and absolutely not allowed to bring terrible diseases to the Commonwealth countries.

Only the government of the newly established Republic of South China issued a telegram on 10 February, in which it generously announced that it would accept the docking of Australian ships, but they would have to go through a set of strict quarantine and epidemic prevention procedures, and that Australians would also be welcome to receive treatment in South China, and that South China had set up a special infectious disease hospital at Mong Cai Port on the border between China and South China to accept Australians for treatment. Although the amount of money required to receive treatment here is an astronomical amount, many wealthy Australians are still ecstatic and immediately drag their families to flee the Australian continent, which is shrouded in the shadow of death.

All this brought a steady stream of wealth to Nanhua, but in China, which was tightly sealed by Japanese warships, most of the political leaders knew nothing about it, and even Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Meiling, Soong Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi, and others only knew a rough idea, and Chiang Kai-shek had already instructed Ningbo, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Shantou, Guangzhou, and other ports to pay attention to the goods transported from Australia, and once discovered, they should be sealed on the spot and never allowed to flow into the interior.

After the two sides signed, the task shouldered by Jiang Dingwen and others on this trip was successfully completed, An Yi smiled and beckoned everyone to eat, chatting while eating.

Due to the presence of other people, Huang Shaohong did not show intimacy with An Yi, and simply chatted about his situation in Zhejiang.

Ningbo has now temporarily replaced Shanghai as the gateway to foreign trade between Central China and the Jiangnan region, and many of the goods that originally flowed to Shanghai are now transported to Ningbo for export by rail and road. In early January, under the emergency repair of the Anjia Army's boat bridge troops, the Qiantang River Bridge was successfully reopened to traffic, which increased the amount of goods transported, and Zhejiang has become a big piece of fat, and Huang Shaohong, as the provincial chairman, naturally lived a very comfortable life.

However, keeping in mind the lessons learned from the fall of eastern Zhejiang, the construction of coastal defense fortresses such as Zhenhai Fortress, Jintang Fortress, and Jianqiao Fortress has become the No. 1 construction project of the Zhejiang Provincial Government, and a large number of migrant workers have been organized to build in full accordance with the standards of the Yangtze River Estuary and Hangzhou Bay Fortress.

Chiang Kai-shek was not stingy on this point concerning national defense and coastal defense, and still allowed the Zhejiang Provincial Government to withhold and spend this money despite the extremely tight military spending.

Jiang Dingwen now holds the two important posts of director of the Xi'an camp and commander of the Fourth Group Army, holding Shaanxi and Fujian with one hand, and can be said to be Chiang Kai-shek's most important confidant and favorite general.

However, Jiang Dingwen is also a beautiful face, the land in Shaanxi is barren, northern Shaanxi is occupied by the 18th Group Army, and southern Shaanxi is the territory of Yang Bin, the director of the Hanzhong camp, and he is not happy enough as the director of the Xi'an camp; In Fujian, provincial chairman Chen Yi concurrently served as commander of the 36 th Group Army, and he constrained the military power at every turn, and in addition Zhang Fakui and Liu Jianxu made trouble, the Fourth Group Army was in an awkward position. Now, Jiang Dingwen is a little envious of Huang Shaohong, not long after taking over Zhejiang, the Japanese invaders were expelled, Zhejiang's economy quickly entered the high-speed channel, becoming one of the few rich places today, I really can't help but sigh Huang Shaohong's good luck.

Because his promise to Chiang Kai-shek to take the Japanese concession in Shanghai within a week was not fulfilled, Zhang Zhizhong was refrigerated by Chiang Kai-shek, temporarily separated from the army, and now holds the post of chairman of Hunan Province. Hunan is now the rear of the country, there are many factories that have moved westward to settle here, and it is also the land of fish and rice, and some of the universities that have migrated from the north and the coast are set up here, and there are many humanities, Zhang Zhizhong did not feel exiled, and he did a good job in the chairmanship of Hunan Province, and enjoyed himself.

Chen Jiji is the purest of the four, he is currently the director of education of the Central Military Academy, and at the same time the deputy director of the Military Training Department of the Military Commission, he is considered a civilian official in the army, with a relatively good salary, living a peaceful life.

Thinking about the impermanence of the world, when An Yi was the commander of the model battalion in Liu Zhi's Second Division, Chen inherited as the commander of the fourth regiment, and the two had a close relationship and cooperated in many battles. Later, Chen Jiji was transferred to the 22nd Division, starting from the deputy division commander, and then took over as the division commander, An Yi also became the head of the independent regiment of the Second Division, but with the end of the Zhejiang operation, Shanghai and Nanjing were recovered, An Yi was transferred to the Middle Route Army with Chiang Kai-shek as the commander-in-chief and Bai Chongxi as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. After the victory of the Second Northern Expedition, the whole army was reorganized, and An Yi's independent division remained organized, but Chen Jiji was demoted to the deputy commander of Qian Dajun's third division, and since then, the positions of the two have changed, and today An Yi has become a hegemon, and the gap between Chen Jiji and An Yi is even farther.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone's words gradually increased.

An Yi, Chen Jiji and Jiang Dingwen all came out of the second division, recalling the past, it is embarrassing, the second division in the past all the way to the Northern Expedition, the fourth regiment commander Wen Zhiwen, the fourth regiment deputy Xiong Shouyun, and the sixth regiment commander Zhang Hanzhang died in the battle of Nanchang, Liang Zihou, who took over as the fourth regiment leader, and Jiang Dingwen, the fifth regiment commander, were seriously injured, and the successor Guo Junzhan, the sixth regiment commander, died in the battle of Longyou, in addition to many generals who died on the way to the Northern Expedition.

Seeing that the atmosphere had become a little dull, Chen Jiji said with a smile: "I am not good for those of you here, and I am not good at martial arts, but I am much luckier than the brothers who sacrificed." is still Xiao Yi is powerful, he has created a great foundation from scratch, and now he is expanding his territory, and he will definitely leave a name in history in the future. ”

Jiang Dingwen was extremely touched: "In the past, when I was in China, I thought that the border of Annan was poor and bad, and the poisonous miasma was rampant, and there was nothing to be rare, but now I came to walk in person, and I realized that it was a big mistake." Many generals in the army ridiculed Xiao Yi, saying that he was short-sighted, only cared about his immediate interests, and if he stayed in the country, he would wait to defeat the Japanese, and he could directly send troops to fight for hegemony in the world, and he could wait for one or two decades to take over the chairman's class......

"But the truth is not that Xiao Yi is short-sighted, but that we have no eyes, just take tonight's Lantern Festival lanterns as an example, this Annan customs and customs are no different from my Jiangnan and Jiangbei, it is basically the Han family, if it develops, it will be a Syrian mansion, Xiao Yi has a sharp eye, amazing!"

An Yi shook his head: "If this place really develops, it will not be as simple as just Xufu. Nanhua has a long coastline, countless excellent seaports, foreign trade and water transportation are extremely convenient, and the development potential is beyond imagination. This is the reason why I was so strict with He Junshan, Deng Xuebing, and Zhang Xianghua in the afternoon.

"Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, I, An Yi, led my troops into Annan, compared to the locals, can be regarded as outsiders, if I don't know the elite of the local people in Annan, so that the people's hearts are used by me, then all this is like a castle in the air, and it will fall in an instant. Seriously, if it weren't for the face of the chairman and his wife today, He Junshan and the others would not have thought of getting out so easily! ”

Jiang Dingwen asked casually: "Xiao Yi, aren't you afraid that Kang Zhaomin will go back and say bad things about you?" Kang Zhaomin's special squad, but the chairman's heart! It was this unit that vigorously implemented the 'armor protection system' in the Soviet areas of the Red Army in the Jiangxi and Dabie Mountain areas, stipulating that in order for any family to prove its identity as a 'good citizen,' it was necessary to find four families as guarantors, to guarantee that it would not 'collaborate with the enemy,' that it would not take in all suspected elements, and that it would not supply material materials to the Soviet areas. Five families are connected to each other. If you don't report the enemy, you will be shot and killed. If one family commits a crime, the family will destroy the family, and the other four families will also be killed. It has been learned that according to such strict laws, Kangze's Einsatzgruppen exterminated villages and towns, burned houses, and trafficked in human beings, resulting in a decrease in the population of the above-mentioned areas by nearly one million, and dealt a fundamental blow to the Soviet power. ”

An Yi said in disgust: "This is what I hate about Kang Zhaomin, when I was fighting in China, whether it was the two Northern Expeditions, or the crusade against Tang Shengzhi, Li Zongren and the later Central Plains War, when did I swing the butcher's knife at the innocent people?" According to Kang Zhaomin's approach, it is estimated that Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places will be killed...... Forget it, don't mention it, so as not to disgust people, this time I forcibly did not do anything to Zhang Xianghua and my senior brothers, because they represent China, the Chinese nation, the central government, and Chairman Jiang. I'm afraid a large-scale war of words is inevitable...... Rather than that, I would like to eliminate the opportunity for them to do evil at the source. Just before coming here, I also made a special trip to Xu Ziliang and Zhang Peigong's house to personally express my condolences and encouragement, this matter is like this, if there is a next time, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless! ”

Jiang Dingwen and the four of them glanced at each other and couldn't help but be silent.

The current An Yi is no longer the cautious and humble gentleman he was at the beginning, his every move involves the safety of tens of millions of people, and he has many interests to take into account, and he has long been unable to help himself. Today's things seem simple and ordinary, but when it comes to the national character and the national system and the hearts of the people under his command, He Jinhan and others still look at An Yi with old eyes, no wonder they have to suffer a big loss.

Seeing that An Yi was reluctant to talk about this matter anymore, Zhang Zhizhong changed the topic: "Xiao Yi, I see that the construction outside the city is in full swing, aren't you afraid that the French will fight back and lose all your money?" The French claim to have an army of five million, and now Cochinchina is still under the control of the French colonial government, and once they fight back, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

An Yi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly. He didn't expect that the plan of "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea" would work so well that even Zhang Zhizhong, Jiang Dingwen and others, who were proficient in news, had no way of knowing. After a little deliberation in his heart, he decided that it would be better to keep it secret, otherwise it would be difficult to ensure that the four of them would not reveal their tone after they returned, and with the all-pervasive intelligence and espionage capabilities of the great powers in China, the secret would not be a secret.

An Yi casually found a reason: "According to the news from Berlin, Hitler's Führer has just digested the Sudetenland for more than a month, and he has set his sights on the last piece of land in Czechoslovakia, and it is expected that from March to April, they will choose to do it, and the annexation of Czechoslovakia into German territory is already a sure thing." Once the German government achieves its wishes, it will certainly extend its tentacles to Lithuania, Poland and other places.

"Especially Poland, the Baltic port city of Danzig and East Prussia tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, surrounded by Polish territory, but Danzig and East Prussia are German territory, it is reported that Hitler meant to build a corridor between Poland and Germany to connect Germany proper, Danzig and East Prussia, but Britain and France will no longer allow Germany to expand, will inevitably support Poland's refusal of Germany's demands, the situation in Europe will be full of gunpowder, just like the Balkan powder keg in the last European war, about to explode.

"Under these circumstances, I am confident that France will not send a large army to Asia, after all, the security of the homeland is more important than the gains and losses of the French colony of Annam, so that we may face an attack by a maximum of about 200,000 French troops, and we are still confident that we will maintain the war in the mountainous area between Cochinchina and the area controlled by our army, so as to ensure the fruits of our construction."

After listening to An Yi's introduction, the four of them couldn't help but be impressed by An Yi's sharp vision.

In the current complex international relations, it is estimated that there is no one else except An Yi, and with this vision, the future of Nanhua will inevitably become bright under the leadership of An Yi, but the domestic situation, because An Yi turned his attention to expanding the territory, but it became chaotic.

Prior to this, due to Chiang Kai-shek's importance to An Yi, and An Yi's identity as Chiang Kai-shek's godson-in-law because his wife Feng Jieyun was Song Meiling's goddaughter, many people regarded An Yi as the best candidate for the successor of the chairman, but judging from the current situation, An Yi has no intention of being in the country, so who is Chiang Kai-shek's successor?

At this moment, in the minds of the four people, they all thought of Jiang Jingguo, who was doing a good job in the position of secretary general of the Nanchang camp.

But think about the incompatible relationship between Jiang Jingguo and Song Meiling, and then think about the fetus in Song Meiling's belly that she doesn't know if it's a male or a woman, and quickly dispelled this idea, after all, the head is still the heir, there are arguments in all dynasties, it's best not to get involved in this matter, everything is still waiting for the day when the water comes to fruition!
