Chapter 211: Smuggling is not drug trafficking

Messing with my mind? Then Miyamoto is too underestimated to look down on Young Master Ben; Spying on intelligence, Katori Shinobu will become a spy like a beautiful snake? It seems unlikely that you'll be tempted to surrender, right?

When Yang Tianfeng received Xiao Si's telegram, after the initial shock, he thought about it carefully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He didn't want the Japanese to know that he was not in the Yongcheng base area, so he decided to take Katori Koshinobu into the base area, block the contact and put him under house arrest.

After thinking about it, Yang Tianfeng didn't have any definite results, and he didn't want to bother with any more brains. Sugar-coated cannonballs, Lao Tzu doesn't care, sugar-coated food, cannonballs will be sent back to you; Beauty plan, will Lao Tzu listen to the wind of a woman's pillow? Lao Tzu will only use the weapons of Chinese men to conquer beauties and knock them to the ground.

Yang Tianfeng couldn't help but show the kind of evil smile of a man, and hummed a song relaxedly. The soldiers will block, and the water will come to the earth. Lao Tzu was not defeated by guns, can a Japanese woman still be a flood beast?

"Brother Yang, I'm so interested!" Ma Yuming greeted him through the hollow window.

"Congratulations, congratulations." After entering the house, Ma Yuming congratulated him with a smile on his face, and his mouth was full of words, "The youngest lieutenant general in the national * army system is really amazing." ”

"Brother Ma is too polite." Yang Tianfeng got up and returned the salute, the two stars on his shoulders were particularly conspicuous, "What is a lieutenant general and a major general, it's just a false name." ”

"That's different, this is a commendation and commendation for Brother Yang." Ma Yuming seemed to be in a good mood, and Yang Tianfeng didn't care.

The attack on Shangqiu was not only a military victory, but also the destruction of all the Japanese spy agencies set up here, and the killing and capture of many Japanese spies and the seizure of a lot of documents and materials.

Yang Tianfeng sat down, asked the orderlies to serve tea, and chatted with Ma Yuming for a while, waiting for Ma Yuming to get to the point.

"Brother Yang, you seized a batch of opium when you attacked Shangqiu, right?" Ma Yuming finally got to the point.

"yes!" Yang Tianfeng didn't hide anything about this, and said: "Brother Ma should know about the policy of the base area, opium is forbidden to be planted and smoked, and after confiscation, it will be made into morphine for use in hospitals, and there are strict management regulations." ”

Morphine is a commonly used anesthetic in clinical practice, and it is also an essential drug for the army in war, and it can be used to relieve pain when soldiers are injured, especially severe pain caused by trauma, surgery, burns, etc. At that time, there was a shortage of medicines in the Chinese army, which produced many strange and harmful analgesic methods, and even many wounded died of pain.

"If it is seized, it will be seized, and if it is confiscated, it will be confiscated, it doesn't matter." Ma Yuming smiled and waved his hand, groaned for a while, and said, "Brother Yang doesn't know that this batch of opium is for export......

At that time, the smuggling of opium and arms was carried out in the open and in the dark. Some people just want to make a living, join some small private organizations and do some small business, while some people take advantage of this to make a fortune.

Seeing that the increasingly serious problem of smuggling had begun to affect the economy of the Kuomintang region, and that different forces were fighting openly and covertly for the sake of their interests, Chairman Chiang began to feel the seriousness of the problem, and decided to set up an anti-smuggling bureau to sort out this phenomenon. Out of affirmation of the work of spies, Chiang believed that anti-smuggling work could not be done without spies. Therefore, Dai Li got another magic weapon to make money, and he carried out this "righteous act" with confidence.

The anti-smuggling bureaus and anti-smuggling offices of various provinces under Dai Li's control are able to seize large quantities of smuggled materials every year. According to the method agreed between Dai Li and the Ministry of Finance, after the smuggled materials are disposed of, the military commanders can extract a share of them to fund their activities, and because of Dai Li's direct operation, the actual profits obtained from them may be much higher than imagined.

In order to turn the seized large amount of opium tobacco into cash and to better obtain rich fruits from it, Dai Li reported to Chairman Chiang for approval and decided to sell the seized tobacco and soil to the occupied areas in batches, which was called "export goods."

In this operation, although Dai Li's precipitated "export sales" in advance, many smugglers along the transportation route heard about the news and joined hands with anti-smuggling personnel to collude with internal and external parties to contract sales, with the result that "export sales" gradually became "domestic sales."

Because Dai Li held the power to suppress smuggling, the government at that time needed to "export" a large amount of opium tobacco and soil confiscated from smokers in the name of banning smoking, and had to turn to Dai Li, and Dai once again got a lot of shares from it.

Zhang Lanfeng was obviously an underwriter in the so-called "export sales", and perhaps also helped the Japanese sell opium to the Kuomintang and profited at both ends.

Yang Tianfeng listened to Ma Yuming's explanation, and his brows slowly furrowed.

In order to solve the problem of troop supply, and to continuously expand the army and strengthen military production, Yang Tianfeng also smuggled goods, and learned from Liao Lei's practice and set up an "import and export goods inspection office" to carry out inspection, taxation and other affairs. But his smuggling is principled, not patronizing to make money.

Steel, iron, copper, grain, cotton and other strategic materials, Yang Tianfeng stipulated that only enter but not leave; As for Japanese goods, it is a boycott and refusal to enter, and opium smuggling is never allowed. In order to prevent the Japanese from using smuggling caravans to spy on intelligence and even carry out infiltration attacks, Yang Tianfeng did not allow the smuggling caravans to go deep into the base areas, let alone move around casually, but set up cooperatives and adopted the method of purchasing them in a unified manner and then selling them by hand.

Although it is now divided into the national control area and the occupied area, they are all China, and wherever opium is sold, it is a scourge to the Chinese, but it is just a difference in geography.

"Brother Yang can set up a special agency to collect the domestic sales of the government in the future, and the benefits will be very considerable." Ma Yuming kindly put forward a suggestion, thinking that this was another way for Yang Tianfeng to make money.

"Brother Ma, with all due respect." Yang Tianfeng suppressed his temperament, and said as tactfully as possible: "Opium is a disaster for the country and the people, whether it is sold domestically or abroad, aren't the people of our country poisoned by it?" So, I'm not going to do it. Brother Ma's kindness, I understand it. ”

"This-" Ma Yuming was a little surprised, but instead smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "Brother Yang is really-admirable!" ”

Yang Tianfeng smiled faintly, and after being reminded by Ma Yuming, he thought of something again, and said: "Although smuggling can alleviate the shortage of materials in wartime to a certain extent, as well as the difficulties in the lives of officers and soldiers, if it is not strictly managed, the harm far outweighs the benefits. For example, what is smuggled out is important civilian and military materials, but what is imported is luxury goods and drugs, which is tantamount to stealing grain and turning treasure into waste. For example, if tungsten, antimony, tin, and other military-indispensable special minerals can be strictly prohibited from flowing into the occupied areas, it will undoubtedly be a huge threat to Japan, which is short of resources. If it can be imported into the occupied area and play the role of a 'blood transfusion' for Japan, the situation of the War of Resistance will be even more worrisome. (To be continued.) )
