Yan Baohang said: "What is the situation of the Hundred Regiments War?" It seems that it is time for the Japanese to strike back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I'm worried. ”

He Wenyuan said: "The commander-in-chief is also worried. He was suggesting that Zhu Pengzuo stop the war. ”

Yan Baohang said: "I know. Mao Gong believed that the surrender of Chongqing was very likely, and did not stop the campaign for the time being. It is understandable for a country to maintain diplomatic channels with the Japanese government, but can you talk openly about it? Sneaky, there will inevitably be unscrupulous deeds. ”

He Wenyuan said: "Only the people of the Northeast say 'four indiscriminate', not 'three indiscriminate'." ”

The three of them talked about the situation of the Hundred Regiments Battle for a while, and after a change of topic, Li Wei said: "There are still a few things to discuss with you." The first is to transfer a group of students from Chongqing to Yan'an recently. ”

Yan Baohang said: "I think it's better to go from Chengdu to Xi'an. We started laying it out right away. I'll arrange for someone to discuss the details with you. ”

He Wenyuan said: "There is another thing, which is the recent issue of the company's profit distribution. This is the money given to you, and it is up to you to send it to those umbrellas. As he spoke, he handed him a ledger and a few written checks.

Yan Baohang took it, checked it correctly, pointed to the check, and said, "This money." I was really helpless. Although the company prospered, one company fed three armies, the Red Army, the Northeast Army, and the Northwest Army. It's not enough to make a lot of money. ”

He Wenyuan said: "Fortunately, the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army have some military spending, otherwise any military expenditure can crush us to death." It would be nice if we could do business abroad. ”

After the matter was done, Yan Baohang invited the two to dinner. Although the banquet was not very rich, there were a few flavors of Northeast hometown cuisine, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

After eating, Yan Baohang said: "The surrender issue that your commander-in-chief said, I recall some phenomena now, you can send it back and give him a reference." ”

Li Wei said: "Please speak." ”

Yan Baohang said: "I don't think Lao Jiang will surrender in the near future. There are many reasons for this. The first, diplomatically. Soviet aid has not yet been cut off. The United States gave the loan. The UK's Burma Highway has been reopened. ”

He Wenyuan said: "Are you talking about tung oil loans?" ”

Yan Baohang said: "The tung oil loan was made from the end of the previous year to the beginning of last year. A commercial loan of $25,000,000 was given by the end of June 1939 at an annual interest rate of four and a half percent, to be repaid on January 1, 1944. Use our country's tung oil to repay the loan. After that, the United States gave another tin mine loan. ”

He Wenyuan said: "I know that the tung oil loan was made by Chen Guangfu, the leader of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium. Hu Shi also helped them mediate in the United States, and Kong Xiangxi also put gold on his face, saying that he had contributed to the matter. ”

Yan Baohang said: "Yes. It's not easy to get this loan. This is the first loan from the United States to assist China, and it is of extraordinary significance. Hu Shi and Chen Guangfu ran around for this matter together, and also inscribed a poem to Chen, saying: "There are occasionally a few gray hairs, and the mood is slightly middle-aged. As a pawn crossing the river, he can only move forward desperately. ’”

He Wenyuan said: "I don't know much about tin mine loans. ”

Yan Baohang said: "At the end of 1939 and the beginning of this year, Hu Shih met with President Roosevelt twice to seek loans. On January 24 this year, Hu and Chen met with Jones again, Hu Shih assured the Chinese government that the war of resistance would be fought to the end, and Chen Guangfu sent Jones various details of tung oil shipments and shopping in the United States. On February 1, Jones vigorously defended China in testifying before Congress about the Export-Import Bank capital increase. At the same time, Chen Guangfu, in his capacity as chairman of the World Trade Corporation, lobbied the American auto giants, assuring them that they would continue to buy American cars if China received another loan. The U.S. side eventually agreed to lend to China again. On April 20, Chen Guangfu and the Export-Import Bank of the United States formally signed a contract for a $20 million loan from Yunnan. ”

He Wenyuan said: "I see. These loans don't have much money. Every time we fought a campaign, the commander-in-chief had to assess that the Japanese would lose millions of yen, tens of millions. He also said that in this battle of 100 regiments, the Japanese army will lose hundreds of millions of yen. More than 30 million yuan was lost in coal mines alone. ”

Yan Baohang said: "The loan money is small, and the confidence in the war is of great significance. On September 13 this year, after several lobbying sessions by Treasury Secretary Soong Ziwen, the United States agreed to give China another $25 million in new loans. Moreover, I recently heard that US President Roosevelt had instructed Morgenthau to grant China a $50 million equalization fund loan within 24 hours. It is said that it will be approved by the end of the month. ”

Li Wei said: "The number has increased. ”

Yan Baohang said: "This is related to the intensification of the conflict of interests between Japan and the United States. The South Seas are Americans' territory. The Japanese army advanced south, and the Americans did not do it. Lao Chiang received assistance. Therefore, it will not be so easy to surrender. ”

Li Wei said: "It makes sense. Sir, your way of analyzing the problem is very similar to that of the Commander-in-Chief. ”

Yan Baohang said: "Really? I'm all about strategy here, and every day is about these topics. By the way, one more thing. It was the attitude of Lao Chiang towards Italy and Germany. ”

Li Weidao: "What is his attitude? ”

Yan Baohang said: "On September 27 this year, Germany, Italy and Japan signed a 10-year military and economic cooperation treaty to establish the uranium centers of Berlin, Rome and Tokyo. It was an infamous treaty, an alliance of several barbaric nations. But what about Lao Jiang? His attitude is to wait and see for the time being, and not to make an obvious statement. He is playing tricks, because the United States and Europe are bound to give some assistance in order to pull China to drag them down a large number of Japanese troops. ”

He Wenyuan said: "I understand what the commander-in-chief means by the heart booster." Every time China is going to die, the United States gives a little aid. They help, entirely for themselves. ”

Yan Baohang said: "That's right. That's all I have to offer. ”

Li Wei said: "Sir, your information is too important. ”

Yan Baohangdao: "The company is ready to expand in Yunnan? ”

Li Wei said: "Yes sir." In order to raise military expenditures, this is the only way to increase the national strength in wartime. The commander-in-chief believed that the Japanese would flank our country in Yunnan. Where there is an enemy, there is us. Since the enemy began to operate in Vietnam, the situation has become more and more urgent. I also know that the tree is very popular, so Long Yun, I have to ask you to mediate on my behalf. ”

Yan Baohang said: "Don't say that. In any case, it is also to raise military funds for the Anti-Japanese War. Besides, I'm a director of the company. It's nothing more than pulling another umbrella. OK. ”

He Wenyuan said: "Our commander-in-chief said that it can be seen from the fact that Yunnan people have built the Yunnan-Burma Highway that Yunnan people have potential and are remarkable. We will move some of Lu Zuofu's experience to Yunnan and persist for two years, and it will definitely be effective. ”

Li Weidao: "In addition, there are universities in Kunming, Yunnan, Zunyi, Guizhou and other places. We also have to go there to dig up some talents, which is also one of the tasks assigned by the commander-in-chief. ”

He Wenyuan said: "By the way, sir, I will take in the Northeast people in the future and hand them over to us directly." You don't have a good life either. ”

Yan Baohang said: "No problem. This old Yan family store of mine can't be closed. ”

Soon, Yan Baohang's strategic information that Lao Jiang would not surrender in the near future was transmitted back to Yichun and Yan'an.

1. Yan Baohang has three great contributions: the first is to obtain information that Germany is about to attack the Soviet Union in an all-out way, and transfer it to Moscow through Yan'an. The second was to intercept the intelligence of the Japanese army's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and the third was to obtain the strategic deployment of the Kwantung Army in the northeast. These three pieces of information had a huge impact on changing the course of World War II.

2. Recently, Yan Baohang's son told the Russian president about his collection of intelligence on the southward advance of the Japanese army, explaining his contribution to the Soviet Union during World War II, and the Russian president specially awarded him a medal.
