Chapter 113: The Old Ruffian Reprimands the Little Boy (Supplemental Edition)
It turned out that on December 24, 1946, an incident occurred in Peiping in which a US soldier raped a Chinese female college student, and on December 30, more than 5,000 college students in Peiping took the lead in holding a large march to protest against the atrocities of the US military, openly demanding that the US troops get out of China. In just a few days www.biquge.info 500,000 students in dozens of cities took to the streets to march. To the surprise of the Americans, many American-educated intellectuals also issued statements openly supporting the student movement.
At this moment, Renard said with some anxiety: "It seems that a letter alone cannot suppress the Kuomintang, right?" ”
Balgort pouted, "Then we will temporarily stop military aid to the Kuomintang." ”
Renard nodded again, then his face sank again, and he scolded: "Bale, you should warn those officers who lead the troops, and ask them to strictly discipline the soldiers below and not cause trouble again. Isn't it enough to play with women and go to a brothel? It was too presumptuous to run near the school and rape a female student. Bale, you must know that the Chinese call women other than prostitutes women of good families, and Chinese have always hated women of good families, especially unmarried girls, for being raped. You see, a small incident caused an uproar. ”
Balgaut tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and grinned, "The soldiers are just looking for a pleasure to pass the loneliness outside of their official duties." Besides, this anti-US campaign must have been planned by the Chinese Communists and deliberately made a big fuss in an attempt to achieve their goal of smearing the United States. ”
Renard knocked on the table, glared at him and reprimanded: "You're right, the CCP is indeed using a rape case to smear us in the United States." But have you thought about it? After the end of World War II, because the United States supported the Kuomintang, the Communist Party has been looking for various opportunities to smear the United States, but except for the Communist Party members, no one else has followed the CCP. But this time, why are so many American-educated intellectuals openly anti-American? ”
Speaking of this, he raised his hand and pointed at the stunned Bargotte, pouting contemptuously, "Bale, although your Chinese language is very good, you still know too little about Chinese. When it comes to China, you are not an old ruffian, you can only be regarded as a little boy. In English, it is good to say that an adult man is a boy, but in Chinese, it is a curse to say that an adult man is a little boy. Do you understand? My little boy. ”
Balgort blinked, and the boy didn't know how to speak for a moment at the reprimand of the old ruffian in front of him.
In Longtou Town, in the west wing of a small farmhouse courtyard, Luo Zhiping sat on the kang and lay on the small square table. On the wall opposite him was a yellowed New Year's picture. Below the carp, a three-door building consisting of four columns and three trapezoidal roofs stands on the water, with two Lishu characters written under the eaves of the middle gate under the eaves of the roof. On the surface of the river, carp of other colors also drilled out of the waves, looking up at the dragon gate together, looking eager to try. Luo Zhiping looked at the New Year's painting of the carp jumping over the dragon gate on the wall, thinking about the conversation with Gu Yu Changge in this room yesterday.
After the Jianghuai troops withdrew north to Huanghuai, the Jianghuai coins originally held by the officers and men could not be used in Huanghuai, which caused many officers and men to be dissatisfied, so it became a top priority to exchange them for Huanghuai coins as soon as possible. But Gu Yu thinks that this is just a headache and a pain in the foot. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, due to the division and blockade by the Japanese invaders, each liberated area fought its own military and financial affairs. However, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the liberated areas were already united, and the whole army began to make unified arrangements for joint operations. In the future, long-distance operations across regions will become the main mode of warfare for large corps, and it is obviously too troublesome for the troops to exchange the currency of the new area every time they go to a place. Therefore, in view of the general trend of increasingly close ties among the liberated areas, it is suggested that the CPC Central Committee should establish a unified bank in the liberated areas of China and issue a unified currency that can be used in all the liberated areas. Gu Yu also named the envisioned unified currency as the Liberation Coin.
Gu Yu's words made Luo Zhiping excited, and this idea undoubtedly contains far-reaching strategic significance. Since the Kuomintang came to power in 1927, its ruling areas have never achieved monetary unity. Some border ethnic minority areas and local warlord-controlled areas issued their own local currencies to boycott the fiat currency of the central government banks of the Kuomintang. Although the Kuomintang government repeatedly cut down the feudal domains, until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, there were still Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Yunnan, Guangxi, Shanxi and other places still issued and used local currency. In addition, many foreign currencies such as the US dollar, British pound, franc, and Mexican silver yuan have also been in circulation in the Kuomintang-ruled areas.
At this time, Luo Zhiping's face turned red, "The unified currency of the liberated area is a carp jumping over the dragon gate!" This financial dragon gate is more strategic than the military dragon gate. Military victories will guarantee us a foothold at home, and monetary unification will ensure our foothold internationally. ”
Luo Zhiping was right: The CPC Central Committee soon ordered preparations for the unification of the currency in the liberated areas. On December 1, 1948, amid the rumbling of Chinese fighting Chinese, the Communist Party's unified currency, the renminbi, was born. In the years that followed, the renminbi not only quickly controlled the lifeblood of the domestic currency market, but also dominated the international currency market. Now that some people deliberately and selectively abuse the Chinese and beat the Chinese shameful, should the renminbi, as a product of the Chinese beating the Chinese, also be shameful?
Chang Ge, who had been silent, was not as optimistic as Luo Zhiping at this time, he raised his head, crooked his mouth, and his expression was cold, "Don't think too far ahead, let's think about who to exchange for Huanghuai coins now, right?" I heard that the Huanghuai Border District Bank was transferred to the Dongyue Mountains in October last year. ”
Now, Luo Zhiping tasted Chang Ge's words yesterday, and suddenly his eyes lit up, if the Jianghuai Bank and the Huanghuai Bank, which retreated with the army to the north, were merged, and the two banks first came up with a reasonable and fixed exchange rate for the circulation of the two currencies, wouldn't the Jianghuai currency be directly circulated in the Huanghuai? He was thinking when he heard someone outside shouting "report", so he answered the call, "Come in".
Cheng Jie walked into the house with his leather bag, he instinctively closed the door, inserted the latch, and then walked to the edge of the kang and whispered: "According to the red-crowned crane and Xiaoye Rong's report, that Hu Tengxiao actually asked the Soviet Union for help at the same time before he died, but the Soviet Liaison Office in China ignored him and threw the hook letter he wrote into the wastepaper basket. The original of the letter now falls to the headquarters of the Kuomintang Secret Bureau, which is a photograph of a red-crowned crane remade of the hook letter. As he spoke, he took out a photo from his purse and handed it to Luo Zhiping.
Luo Zhiping looked at the photo, and there was no emotional change on his face. The manuscript of the hook letter seized by the First Division from Hu Tengxiao had already been sent and had been translated into Chinese.
