Ni Hua's letter was very long, which introduced the basic situation of Columbia University School of Medicine, and also introduced the situation of her supervisor, Mr. Doug's family, and the situation of several classmates.

Ni Hua told Liu Yimin that she had exchanged the gold she had brought into US dollars, and after a preliminary understanding, the current situation in the United States is the same as Liu Yimin's estimate, the economic crisis has not completely passed, there are unemployed people everywhere, and enterprises are in urgent need of orders, as long as they do not involve the new technology weapons that the United States has restricted the export of, everything else can be bought. Mr. Doug recommended Mr. Wilson to her, a classmate of Mr. Doug's, who had been engaged in the import and export trade of machinery. She had already met Mr. Wilson and learned about his resume, and was a more orthodox professional manager. After discussing with Mr. Wilson, it was decided to establish Huamin International Machinery Import and Export Co., Ltd., with Ni Hua as the investor and chairman, and Mr. Wilson as the manager, and planned to hire two people, one responsible for finance and customs declaration, and the other responsible for business negotiations and cargo shipments. Now Mr. Wilson has been entrusted to rent office space, register a company, and start preliminary business negotiations according to the list given to her by Liu Yimin. After the company was registered, she immediately sent a telegram to Liu Yimin and told him the bank account number. As soon as the payment arrives, it can be purchased and shipped back to China as soon as possible.

At the end of the letter, Ni Hua wrote: "Dear people, my love, I think about you all the time, and I think about the sweet words when we are together. I stroke the bullet I took from you every day, and it has now become my sustenance. You know what? Every evening, I would go for a walk in Central Park, where I would watch the sunset, and I would burst into tears when I thought that there was my loved ones on that side of the sunset. I don't know what you're doing now, whether you'll miss me too, but I know in my heart that in this life, I and you are inseparable. Dear people, I will finish my studies as soon as possible, go back to reunite with you, and be your gentle wife. ”

Liu Yimin saw the end, he couldn't help himself, and his eyes were soaked with tears. After reading the letter, I knew that it was written by Ni Hua after he first arrived in the United States.

I put the letter back into the envelope, turned over the back of the envelope, and saw Song Qingling writing on the back of the envelope in English: "I don't know who you are, but I believe you are very good." Please be kind to Ni Hua, she is an angel. ”

After receiving the letter, Liu Yimin no longer wanted to stay in the office, called Li Xiaoshuai and Huang Wenhu, and the three of them got on the horse and left Xi'an City.

All the way. It was only when he walked to the Wei River at Baqiao that Liu Yimin got off his horse and sat on the grass by the Wei River.

This is a night's sitting.

It was dawn, the early farmers had begun to go to the field, and Liu Yimin also woke up from his contemplation. Turning his head, Li Xiaoshuai stood aside with a gun on guard, and Huang Wenhu climbed in front of a ridge to make a covert guard. Liu Yimin smiled bitterly and called the two guards to go back together.

When I returned to the legion headquarters, I saw Tang Xingying sitting pitifully in the office, and when I saw him, I asked, "Where did you go all night?" Why didn't you tell me? You want to scare me to death? ”

Liu Yimin looked apologetic: "I'm fine, I took Li Xiaoshuai and Huang Wenhu out to train for survival in the wild last night." Don't worry, it'll be fine. I'm going to see the chairman and them in a moment, you're busy with yours, I'll come back after meeting the chairman, and we'll have dinner together in the evening. ”

Tang Xingying hurriedly went to fetch a basin of water, asked him to wash his face, and beat the dirt on his body before letting him go.

When I got to [***], I reported the situation of letting Ni Hua set up a company in the United States again, and handed the list of things to be purchased to [***].

[***] I knew about it, and yesterday Qian Zhuangying showed him Ni Hua's telegram, and when he saw that Liu Yimin came specifically for this matter, he asked him how the company's current progress was.

Liu Yimin again reported the situation mentioned in Ni Hua's letter, and then re-proposed the plan to go to Beiping and Tianjin to find the bank to raise funds.

[***] asked him to go back and handle the RMB matter he said yesterday first, and wait for the notice.

Liu Yimin didn't get a satisfactory answer, and he was a little unhappy, but he couldn't explain it, so he had to leave and go back.

When I returned to the corps headquarters, I had nothing to do left and right, and I was uneasy, so I had to sit down and carefully design the ticket sample of RMB.

I didn't want to eat at noon, so I worked overtime in the office.

After the design and painting were completed, he wrote a design description and suggestions for currency reform, and asked Qian Zhuangying to send them to the chairman by hand, and then called Tang Xingying to go to the canteen to eat together.

At 9 p.m., he was informed that he should go immediately to the President.

When I arrived at the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Mr. Zhu, Zhang Wentian, Chen Yun, and Li Fuchun were all there.

Seeing that Liu Yimin arrived on order, [***] said: "Comrade Liu Yimin, just now we discussed your proposal on setting up a company in the United States, and we have three opinions: First, we agreed to prepare for the establishment of this company, and the funds were allocated 10 million yuan from the compensation funds of Ma Bufang, Yan Xishan, and Ma Hongkui, which Comrade Chen Yun was responsible for, converted into US dollars, and remitted to the company's account. Second, Ni Hua is the chairman of the board of directors of this company, and the manager is an American person. The central authorities hope that this company will not only be able to purchase urgently needed materials and munitions for us, but will also be able to make money on its own and sustain itself. When Ni Hua returns to China after completing her studies, the central government will look for a suitable candidate to replace her. Therefore, the central authorities have decided that you will be in charge of the company for the time being, and after the first batch of purchased equipment is shipped back, the company's affairs will be handed over to Comrade Chen Yun to take over. Third, I do not agree with your plan to go to Pingjin to find this bank to raise funds, because as the commander of the Red Seventh Army, you cannot put yourself in danger. Moreover, it is said that I am making a lot of trouble in North China, and if we act at this time, it will be very easy for them to leave an excuse for expanding their aggression. When to implement this plan depends on the timing. When the time comes, you can act. ”

Liu Yimin did not expect that the central government would make such a decision and actually allocate such a large sum of money from the seized funds and inject it into the company, which shows that these leaders have great hopes for this company. When I heard that I didn't implement the plan to raise funds in Pingjin, the main reason was that I didn't want to let myself take risks, and I was also very moved. Therefore, after [***] finished speaking, Liu Yimin immediately expressed his position and resolutely obeyed the order.

After Liu Yimin expressed his position, Zhou En said: "Comrade Liu Yimin, it is very difficult for the Central Committee to make this determination, because after all, this is a large number, and Comrade Ni Hua is in such a situation. To be honest, a few of us don't know if we can get this money back after we send it out. Considering that since you joined the Red Army, you have judged things more accurately, and we all trust your vision, this time, even if we are betting on it, please go back and write a letter to Comrade Ni Hua in detail, give her more tips, and help her run the company. If this money is wasted, we are afraid that we will have to do an inspection. ”

Hearing Zhou Enlai be so open and honest, Liu Yimin thought about it and said: "Ni Hua is just a student, and letting her be the chairman is just to borrow her convenience, in fact, she doesn't know how to operate." Originally, I was only thinking about using this company to purchase materials and equipment for us, and I didn't think about making the company run for a long time. In this case, Ni Hua is just the name of the top investor, as long as the company's personnel are allowed to purchase and ship according to our procurement list. When we achieved our goal, we shut down the company. Since the central authorities have decided to run the company, Ni Hua is not up to the task, and the central authorities are requested to consider sending appropriate cadres to the United States to take charge of the actual operation of the company. ”

[***] said: "The chairman of the company is Ni Hua, and he sent someone to be incorrect and unreasonable!" ”

As soon as Liu Yimin heard this, he knew that it was not that the central authorities did not want to send cadres, but that several leaders did not understand the US corporate system. He explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, this United States is a country with a rule of law, and everything pays attention to abiding by the law. Even the president can't break the law. Although the company's investor is Ni Hua, it can be changed, as long as the registration is changed by the relevant departments. In addition, now that Ni Hua is the investor, as long as she writes a power of attorney, the comrades we send can take full charge of the company's affairs. However, the person sent should have studied in the United States, England, or France, and was familiar with the American economy, otherwise, it would have been necessary to be familiar with it for a long time. ”

After thinking about it, Liu Yimin felt that some things still had to be explained in advance, so he explained: "This Ni Hua is a very pure and kind girl, who has received an American-style education, and there are no messy thoughts such as fighting for power and profit in her head. Besides, her interest is medicine, and I gave her an explanation for this chairman when she left, which is forcing her, and if the central government has a suitable candidate, she can not be the chairman at any time. Chiefs need not worry about this. ”

[***] sighed: "It would be great if this girl could come back after completing her studies in the future!" ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Yimin felt uncomfortable in his heart, and hurriedly said goodbye and was about to leave.

[***] shouted to him and said: "Several main leaders are here today, and some words must be made clear, otherwise my heart will be blocked, and after a long time, there will be a gap that should not be there." On the issue of Comrade Liu Yimin's marriage, it is indeed mixed with many abnormal things, which is not the mind and demeanor of our people. This matter wronged Comrade Liu Yimin and Ni Hua's girl. Fortunately, Comrade Tang Xingying is very good, and they live happily. Facts have proved that Comrade Liu Yimin is extremely loyal to the party and has never resented us, but has always planned, worked, and struggled. Such a comrade, not to mention marrying Soong Meiling's cousin, is marrying someone closer to Chiang Kai-shek, can Chiang Kai-shek pull him away? If Chiang Kai-shek is defeated and power is taken in the future, aren't Chiang Kai-shek's relatives also our citizens? I would like to make a statement here that no one will interfere in the marriage of comrades in the future. After all, most of us have experienced the pain of losing a loved one, and this tragedy should not be repeated. As for how Comrade Liu Yimin handles his own emotional problems, that is his own business, let time speak, no one should interject, let alone accusations and interference. ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Yimin felt that all the grievances were welling up in his eyes, and tears would fall out immediately, so he hurriedly said thank you to the chairman and the leaders, and then took his leave and left.

After Liu Yimin left, Mr. Zhu said: "Runzhi, your attitude is a bit casual, if Ni Hua comes back in the future, Liu Yimin, the little guy, is reluctant to give up and not lose, how should it end?" Isn't that the slogan that we [***] people ourselves slap ourselves in the face and destroy ourselves? Besides, he is now married, and the relationship problem has settled, so there is no need to bring up the old matter again. I think the two of them are doing well, so we don't have to worry about it. ”

[***] lit a cigarette, took a puff, and smiled: "Boss, I'm not untargeted." Luo Ronghuan reported that after Liu Yimin received Ni Hua's letter yesterday, he went to sit by the Wei River with two guards for the night. Luo Ronghuan had no choice, and Cai Zhong and the two stayed on the side all night. After I heard it, I was shocked, think about it, if this Liu Yimin can't think about it and jumps into the Wei River, then we won't have time to cry, and the loss will not be compensable! Of course, I believe in Liu Yimin's wisdom, I believe that he will handle it properly, and I believe that he will not let us down. I just mean that people don't interfere with him. After all, he is still a doll in his early 20s, this person, he has read a lot, his brain works, and he is prone to psychological overburden. As his leader and elder, we only hope that he will win the battle, capture more, and come up with more ideas and solutions, who cares about his inner world? This is a rereliction of our duty! I see, this Liu Yimin's knowledge, courage, and character are all first-class, but he is not good at all, he is too kind, he can't owe others, and his heart is easy to carry a burden. In the future, everyone will help him more in this regard, he is still young, he is a malleable talent, and he must cultivate his iron will. As for the issue of emotional entanglement, history is written by the victors, and when we win, this is just another mysterious aura on General Liu, and there is no big deal. ”

A few people stopped talking and went back to rest.

The next day, Liu Yimin sent a coded telegram to Ni Hua, telling her about Rongli's special merit, and asked her to take out half of the funds to buy equipment and half of the funds for Mr. Wilson to buy stocks. After the stock is doubled, take out the profit funds and then purchase equipment and materials, and continue to invest the principal in stocks.

After sending the telegram, Liu Yimin counted the time, and it was about to be the end of May, and he said that he was about to start making a big fuss in North China, and I wonder if Chiang Kai-shek would still blindly endure concessions as he did in history, and whether the 29th Army would enter Pingjin in early June. Originally, I still wanted to take advantage of the time to go to Beiping and Tianjin to raise funds, and take advantage of the situation to clean up those Han annihilations. The central government will not let them go, so naturally they can only live for a few more days.

Thinking about it again, the central government's consideration is also reasonable, I am looking for excuses, and even do not hesitate to kill two loyal dogs to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, if I go to end their bank at this time, no matter how seamless it is, I will write the charges on the Chinese, I am afraid that it will make the situation more and more serious. As for those Han Annivers, even if they are killed, there will be new Han Annihilation to replace them, which will not help.

It seems that the leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have no idea of rushing to end the talks and reach an agreement as soon as possible, and the guiding ideology is to procrastinate and talk while talking, so as to strive for the greatest interests for their own side.

However, the armistice was real, although I don't know whether the central government had contact with the Jiangxi Soviet area, but the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps in Xiangxi have always been in contact, and there is no war there, which proves that Chiang Kai-shek really did not attack further.

The Longhai Railway has finally resumed operation, although [***] over there has to be inspected, and the Red Army here has to be inspected, but it is convenient for the people to travel after all.

No matter what, the next step is to grasp the development, the gold mine in Tongguan can be mined, with the gold of this gold mine, just don't go to those warlords to get money, and the economy of the base area also has reliable support.

Next, I have to look for iron ore and coal mines.

Liu Yimin called Shen Qianyi and asked him to prepare, the gold mine in Tongguan was about to be mined secretly, and all the matters of mining and gold refining would be handed over to him, and the 11th Division of the plateau would cooperate with him. As for the equipment used for mining and alchemy, Xi'an will buy it in Xi'an. If you don't have it in Xi'an, you can go to Taiyuan to buy it. Now that we have made it clear to Shanxi, they will not leave our people in trouble. After the gold mine began to be mined, let his students work as technicians, and he and he would go to find iron ore and coal mines.

Last time the Red Seventh Army was commended, Sun Jiaqi and Zeng Zhao both made special merits, Shen Qian was very shaken, and he was already eager to try, just waiting for Liu Yimin to order the mine. When he heard the order, he naturally moved when he heard the news, and soon led a few of his students to the logistics headquarters to receive funds and was busy purchasing equipment.

After Shen Qian left, Liu Yimin convened several members of the party committee, opened a party committee, and made arrangements for the recent work of the Red Seventh Army Corps, and demanded that the leading group for large-scale military training not be withdrawn and that the work should not be stopped. When the contest is held again next year, it will be necessary to write and inspect which unit repeats the problem that has occurred in this contest. In particular, it is necessary to organize troops to exert efforts on precision shooting, demolition, guerrilla tactics, and positional offensive and defensive warfare. Political Commissar Luo should show more concern for the training team, expand the scale of training, and draw up a plan to strive to train all platoon leaders, squad leaders, and combat team leaders in the whole corps in rotation within two years. The work of other departments shall be carried out according to the original plan and implemented as soon as possible.

Liu Yimin finally proposed that considering that he and Tang Xingying were already married, it was no longer appropriate for Tang Xingying to continue to serve as the secretary of the party committee, and suggested that Comrade Han Qianjian, the political commissar of the teaching team, should concurrently serve as the secretary of the party committee of the regiment, attend the party committee as an observer, and be responsible for recording work.

After Liu Yimin finished speaking, Luo Ronghuan thought about it for a while, and proposed that Tang Xingying could not be the secretary of the party committee, but the main task was still to act with the corps commander. In addition, in the future, the corps commander must say hello wherever he goes, at least let him, the political commissar, know where the corps commander has gone and what he has done, so as not to find him when there is an emergency.

Regarding Luo Ronghuan's suggestion, Liu Yimin knew what was going on, so he agreed with a smile. Then he told everyone that he would use this time to go to Hanzhong and northern Shaanxi, find coal mines and iron mines in Shaanxi, and organize troops to open mines in the future. Political Commissar Luo stayed at the army headquarters, he took Tang Xingying and Shen Qian to go, and asked Li Chengyi to lead a battalion of guards with a radio station. In the past few days, as soon as Shen Qian has something to do, he also needs to find some information in Xi'an, and the work of the legion will be in charge of Political Commissar Luo.

After the end of the party committee, Liu Yimin asked Li Chengyi to prepare his travel items, and he took Tang Xingying, Li Xiaoshuai, and Huang Wenhu, changed into civilian clothes, and went straight to Xi'an Library.

In fact, Liu Yimin didn't need to come to the library to look for information, he himself knew the approximate location of the Shenfu coalfield, and he also knew the location of several iron mines in Hanzhong.

The First Shaanxi Provincial Library was built in September 1909, and its current location is in the south courtyard gate of the downtown area of Xi'an. After Liu Yimin and Tang Xingying went in, they found that it was empty, and there were basically no readers. Liu Yimin immediately thought that he should contact the person in charge of the library and let the soldiers of the teaching team come here to study and improve after training, so he immediately told Tang Xingying his thoughts and asked her to report to the political commissar after she went back, and asked the political commissar to order the teaching team to carry it out.

Liu Yimin found a few local chronicles, found a seat against the wall window, and read it quietly.

Tang Xingying saw that Liu Yimin sank into the book so quickly, so she also looked for the book, sat down opposite Liu Yimin, and read it quietly.

Since the time travel, this is the first time that Liu Yimin has sat down to study seriously, and he suddenly feels like he has returned to the student life of the original time and space. Therefore, this reading of the book sat until the library was about to close.

Tang Xingying was actually hungry for a long time, and wanted to call Liu Yimin to go several times, but seeing that he was so engaged, she was embarrassed to disturb him, and she kept accompanying him, but her stomach was growling uncontrollably. Seeing that the library was about to close, he hurriedly shouted that Liu Yimin should leave.

Only then did Liu Yimin come back to his senses from the book, return the book, and take Li Xiaoshuai and Huang Wenhu, who had been in the realm outside the door, back to the army headquarters with Tang Xingying.

Walking to the road, Tang Xingying blushed and said, "I'm hungry, let's have some food and then go back?" ”

In the past few days, Liu Yimin has been in a bad mood, his life is irregular, and he is hungry and full. But he was young and strong, and it didn't matter. When I heard Tang Xingying say that she was hungry, she remembered that she hadn't eaten for a day, and Tang Xingying probably had a meal in the morning. I secretly scolded myself for being careless and letting my wife go hungry.

Thinking about it, after Tang Xingying married her, she hadn't eaten on the street with her, and today this opportunity is just to make up for it. took her by the hand and entered a large restaurant on the side of the road.

When I entered the hotel, I saw that the business was very good, and it was basically full. The boss found a table for them, and Liu Yimin ordered six hot and cold dishes, asked for a bottle of bamboo leaf green, and asked for four large bowls of braised noodles. While urging the boss to hurry up and serve the food and wine, he asked Li Xiaoshuai and Huang Wenhu to sit down and eat together.

Tang Xingying could also drink some wine, and the four of them drank slowly, listening to the discussions of the diners.
