Although Liu Changchun and Yu Xiwei are now students of Northeastern University and are not from Shanxi, these two people are famous, and Jia Jingde and Zhao Pilian also know it, especially after Song Zhewu introduced his Olympic plan to the two, Jia Jingde and Zhao Pilian are full of confidence and resolutely support the formation of a team to participate in the Olympic Games.

With the support of the two, Song Zhewu immediately called Wang Zhengting and told Wang Zhengting his idea of organizing a delegation to participate in next year's Los Angeles Olympics, and said that all the expenses would be settled by him.

Wang Zhengting was anxious because he did not have the funds to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics, and he was frustrated when he thought about it, because the dignified Republic of China could not even come up with the money to organize a sports delegation to participate in the highest ceremony of international sports, which made Wang Zhengting, who was full of enthusiasm for sports, very disheartened. In particular, the political axe is not really without those hundreds of thousands of yuan! Chairman Chiang casually threw at that warlord not tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, let alone millions! Because he never had the luxury of participating in large-scale competitions, he just wanted to organize some advantageous projects, and the cost would not be very high.

Looking at Song Zhewu's plan, this is to participate in the competition in an all-round way, and it is still imperative to win in some projects, such a large-scale participation is not hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands can be solved.

Wang Zhengting originally thought that Song Zhewu wanted this vice chairman just to put on a show and improve his image as a warlord, but to his great surprise, this Song Zhewu was really serious.

This naturally made Wang Zhengting extremely happy, and immediately repeated with Song Zhewu how to conduct the selection and training of athletes, and the organization of the Olympic Games in which the Chinese participated for the first time was quietly and officially launched in the telegram exchange between the two.

According to the plan agreed upon by Song Zhewu and Wang Zhengting, the North China Games to be held in Taiyuan next year will be cancelled and the national Olympic trials will be held in Taiyuan on 1 August this year. At the same time, Wang Zhengting is also responsible for selecting excellent coaches across the country and for the intensive training of athletes.

All this work was specifically organized by Wang Zhengting, Zhao Pilian, Zhang Yong, and Zhang Chengwu, Jia Jingde helped to coordinate, and Song Zhewu was fully responsible for solving the funds.

Since the tryouts are to be held, there needs to be a larger competition and training venue. There is one at Northern Normal University, but Song Zhewu thinks that which sports field is smaller can only accommodate less than 10,000 people. This is not conducive to Song Zhewu's desire to take advantage of this to set off young people's love of sports in Shanxi, and then enhance the people's physique.

Especially since it is necessary to train in Taiyuan, there must be indoor and outdoor training venues, and now there is basically no one in Taiyuan, which must be newly built.

Therefore, Song Zhewu instructed Jia Jingde and Zhao Pilian to choose another location and build a new stadium, which should not only be able to accommodate more than 30,000 people, but also have a supporting indoor training hall so that the athletes can have a place to train and rest after the selection competition......

It is said that blessing and misfortune are not a single line, and the Americans have just stopped here, and Shanghai's "Declaration" has come to block Song Zhewu again.

In the previous article signed by Shi Zhen, he began to fiercely attack Daqing Company and the boss behind it, Song Zhewu, saying that they "worship foreigners and despise Chinese people".

"Worship the foreign and despise the Chinese?"

This hat really surprised Song Zhewu, and then looking at the content of the article, Song Zhewu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The reason why Shi Zhen blamed Daqing Company and Song Zhewu was mainly because they sold 90 percent of the in-demand goods to foreigners last time, and only 10% of the goods were sold domestically, so that all the goods were completely out of stock within a few days.

Don't say that the price of those household appliances is now skyrocketing on the black market, even stockings, which have now reached the black market price of a pair of 50 oceans, even so, there is still no price.

Shi Zhen's accusation made Song Zhewu very embarrassed, his real thoughts and plans are impossible to explain to this Shi Zhen now, if he doesn't explain the situation, then there is only one way, that is, let the "Declaration" not publish such an article again, but this matter is not ordinarily difficult.

You must know that Shi Liangcai, the boss of this "declaration", is known as the king of the poster industry, and he is not short of money at all, that is to say, he cannot be bought with money.

But this historical figure is very stubborn and upright, insisting that newspapers are the tongue of the people and must always speak for the people. If you want him to publish an article attacking him, he won't agree if he doesn't say something, which makes Song Zhewu a headache.

is this Shi Zhen, Song Zhewu also learned her powerful points, she asked harshly in Hankou back then, Song Zhewu is still in her ears, and if she wants to stop writing such an attack on the surname, I'm afraid she won't agree.

There was no way, Song Zhewu had to come forward in Daqing Company in Shanghai and find a way to solve this matter. If this Shi Zhen is allowed to write such an article again, it will have a very bad impact on his reputation.

After receiving Song Zhewu's telegram, Yu Qiaqing, Li Yuanda, and Ma Yingbiao immediately became nervous, Song Zhewu is now their big financier, if they don't handle this matter well, if this boss gets angry, then their business will be greatly affected.

However, Yu Qiaqing has no good way to deal with Shi Liangcai. If it were any other newspaper, it would be much easier. Yu Qiaqing only needs to make a phone call, and even send someone to send him Yu Qiaqing's business card, and it will be settled, and if it is more difficult, at most, Yu Qiaqing will say hello to Du Yuesheng.

However, these methods are useless in Shi Liangcai, who is known for his strengths, as long as it does not suit his wishes, that is, oil and salt will not enter, and it is not good for anyone to persuade him.

I want to ask someone to make peace with Shi Liangcai, but I can't find anyone who can make Shi Liangcai change his mind.

They pondered for days, but they didn't come up with any good idea. In the end, I thought that the best way was for the three of them to go directly to Shi Liangcai and make it clear to him face to face, maybe this Shi Liangcai would give them a little face.

After the three saw Shi Liangcai, they were not wordy, and directly told Shi Liangcai that the reason why they sold in limited quantities in China was because the cost of these in-demand goods was too different from the selling price, and they couldn't bear to make Chinese their own money so much, taking advantage of the high price they could sell now, just to make those foreigners' money, and when the price was lowered, they would definitely open up for domestic consumption.

What they didn't expect was that things went surprisingly smoothly.

Shi Liangcai is not an unreasonable person, and after learning the reason for the incident, he immediately instructed the newspaper not to attack Daqing Company and Song Zhewu in this matter in the future-

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the end of July of '31. Although it has been a year since the end of the Central Plains War, and no local force in China dares to easily challenge the authority of the central political axe in Nanjing, but in Guannai, the war has never stopped, and there are even some people who do not believe in evil and mistakenly think that Chiang Kai-shek's tiger is a little tired, and they really dare to venture to touch the tiger's ass again.

In the past six months, not only the Sichuan warlords headed by Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui and others in Sichuan have been fighting for territory, causing constant war in Sichuan, and the people have suffered unspeakably. In the Dabie Mountains of Jiangxi and Hubei, Henan, and Anhui, Chiang Kai-shek, who had finally completely freed his hands, also began to use the Central Army as the main force to vigorously besiege the Red Army, which he regarded as a great danger to his henchmen, so that the wolf smoke and flames in these provinces were endless.

Also in February, Chiang Kai-shek appointed He Yingqin, Minister of Military Affairs, as the director of the Nanchang camp, responsible for organizing the second large-scale 'encirclement and suppression' of the central Soviet region.

Chiang Kai-shek's intention was very clear, that is, in this 'encirclement and suppression,' he would 'take the accumulation of troops, tight encirclement, and slow advance as the main purpose' to completely annihilate the Communist Red Army, which was becoming more and more ferocious in Jiangxi and Hubei, Henan, and Anhui.

In late March, as soon as the Central Army had recovered after the Great War in the Central Plains, Chiang Kai-shek transferred the 5th Division, the 26th Route Army of Sun Lianzhong, the superintendent of Qingxiang in Jiangxi, which had just returned to the central government and was highly valued by Chiang Kai-shek, as well as the 4 regiments of the 52nd Division and the 15th Division, arrived in Jiangxi Province, and together with the 6th and 19th Route Armies and other units that remained around the central Soviet area after the failure of the first 'encirclement and suppression', a total of 18 divisions, 3 brigades, and 3 air units, a total of 200,000 people, launched the encirclement and suppression of the Central Red Army in Jiangxi.

Under the command of Zhu Mao, the Red Army adopted the tactics of luring the enemy into depth, concentrating troops, and fighting continuously, destroying more than 30,000 members of the Central Army, capturing more than 20,000 guns of various types, 30 artillery pieces, and 2 radio stations, not only smashing the Central Army's second encirclement and suppression of the Jiangxi Soviet Region, but also taking advantage of the situation to occupy the vast areas of eastern Jiangxi and northwestern Fujian. Even the 26th Route Army of Sun Lianzhong, the former Northwest Army, which was known for its bravery, was eaten by [***] by a brigade.

At the same time, the Central Army concentrated more than 10 divisions and more than 100,000 men to encircle and suppress the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region for the second time, which also failed at the end of May.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was unwilling to be defeated, immediately went to Nanchang on 21 June with his German, Yue, and British advisers, and personally appointed the commander-in-chief of the "encirclement and suppression" army, with He Yingqin as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and mobilized 23 divisions, three brigades, and about 300,000 troops to prepare to launch the third "encirclement and suppression" against the Jiangxi Soviet region.

While intensifying the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, Chiang Kai-shek naturally did not forget to rectify those local forces, and immediately issued an order to unify the national army.

This order is to abolish the respective numbers of the units of the local forces, and the central army and the local forces will be unified by the national political axe.

Among them, the official number of the Third Army of Song Zheyuan's Northeast Frontier Army is the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the four army numbers of the Jin Sui Army are the 32nd Army to the 35th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the number of Song Zhewu's Department is the 38th Army to the 50th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

Chiang Kai-shek naturally did not believe that just by changing the number, these local miscellaneous cards would become the real Central Army. However, this was only the first step in the centralization of his army.

In doing so, although Chiang Kai-shek still had no way to use the armies of these local forces for the time being, it was difficult to change the behavior of these local forces in treating their respective armies as their personal property. However, this will provide him with a better excuse and a better reason to clean up these miscellaneous cards in the future.

Another advantage is that the army is named after the unified serial number promulgated by the central government, which can also let the generals of these troops, especially the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers, know that he Jiang Zhongzheng is the highest commander of all the central [***] teams, and the "warlords" they are loyal to are all his subordinates of Jiang Zhongzheng, which can increase the local army's sense of identity with the central government.

Chiang Kai-shek's hand is still very effective, and an obvious advantage is that in North China, the Song Zheyuan Department, the Jin Sui Army, and Sun Dianying's Department, which were originally organized by Zhang Xueliang, now have the official number issued by the central political axe, although they are still nominally controlled by Zhang Xueliang, but in fact, they have become part of the Central Army like the Northeast Army, and Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying, and the generals of the Jin Sui Army have completely disappeared from their sense of identity with Zhang Xueliang.

Zhang Xueliang's desire to gradually and completely control these troops and gradually integrate them into the Northeast Army system also failed. In disappointment, Zhang Xueliang's military salary was sometimes not available at the beginning, and these reorganized troops had to raise salaries on the spot.

If you want to raise wages on the spot, the Jin Suijun is easy to do, this Shanxi was originally their territory, and the sources of salaries are naturally under their control. But Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying were miserable, and Xu Yongchang helped them at the beginning, but Yan Xishan had already collected many taxes in advance in order to launch the Central Plains War. Moreover, the generals of the Jin Sui Army also held the goal of squeezing Song Zheyuan out of Shanxi, and always opposed giving Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying help.

But in this way, there will naturally be no money left to fund friendly forces.

Sun Dianying said, if you don't give it, I will go to find the source of money by myself, pull the troops up the mountain, occupy the southeast of Jin and the southern foot of Taihang Mountain, and set up a card to collect taxes.

But Song Zheyuan's Northwest Army is not good, the Northwest Army has always been very strict in military discipline, except for a few bold Xiang Han Fuyu and Shi Yousan and others, the other generals dare not take a step beyond Lei Chi, although Feng Yuxiang is no longer in the army, but this has become a habit.

Tens of thousands of troops can't go without food? Xiao Zhenying took the initiative to ask for help and went to Nanjing to find Chiang Kai-shek.

After meeting Chiang Kai-shek, Xiao Zhenying pointed out the advantages of the 29th Army in Shanxi, and pointed out that the more forces of all parties in Shanxi, the better, so that they could contain each other, and the 29th Army in Shanxi, not only the Jin Sui Army, but also Zhang Xueliang and Song Zhewu should have scruples.

Regarding Xiao Zhenying's words, Chiang Kai-shek thought it was true, since the 29th Army came to him, it meant that they really had no choice, and they could win the hearts of the people at this time.

So Chiang Kai-shek generously agreed to give the 29th Army a monthly subsidy of 300,000 oceans.

Although 300,000 oceans was not enough for the 29th Army to pay its salaries, it was still enough to eat, which made the 29th Army rejoice.

However, since Chiang Kai-shek gave the 29th Army a subsidy of 300,000 yuan, Zhang Xueliang completely cut off the salary of the 29th Army, and the 29th Army no longer had any hope for Zhang Xueliang from then on.

In addition to the Central Army and the Red Army fighting in the south, there are also undercurrents surging in the north, which are extremely dangerous.

After Zhang Xueliang led 100,000 Northeast troops into the customs last year, Shi Yousan immediately responded by telegram, and then led his troops to station in more than 30 counties in the south and north of Hebei Province on his own.

Although Shi Yousan occupies a piece of territory in Hebei, he has more soldiers and less money, cannot make ends meet, and his name is not right, which makes Shi Yousan feel that it is not a long-term plan, so he tries his best to get closer to Zhang Xueliang.

In order to make Zhang Xueliang not wary of him, during the Spring Festival this year, Shi You's three relatives went to Shenyang to meet Zhang Xueliang and expressed to Zhang Xueliang his sincere desire to join the Northeast Army.

Zhang Xueliang also attaches great importance to Shi Yousan's elite of the Northwest Army, if he can make Shi Yousan sincerely attached, then his strength will be stronger, and his position in the northern provinces will be more stable.

Therefore, Zhang Xueliang also tried his best to win over Shi Yousan, and promised to reorganize Shi Yousan's troops into the 13th Route Army, appoint him as the commander-in-chief, and first give 200,000 yuan in silver to fund the military.

This made Shi Yousan very happy, and in order to reassure Zhang Xueliang about him, he repeatedly asked Zhang Xueliang to send someone to his army to assist him in commanding and rectifying the troops.

Regarding this matter, Zhang Zuoxiang and others had already persuaded Zhang Xueliang, saying that Shi Yousan was capricious and asked him to be more careful about him. Zhang Xueliang just pushed the boat down the river and sent Shi Yousan's fellow countryman Zhang Yungui as the secretary general of the ministry, and Song Guanglie as the adjutant general, intending to gradually control the troops that affected Shi Yousan.

But at this moment, Chiang Kai-shek sent a secret telegram to Zhang Xueliang, saying that Shi Yousan was blocking the traffic on the Pinghan Line and intended to rebel, asking Zhang Xueliang to detain Shi Yousan and take the opportunity to solve his troops in order to restore north-south traffic.

Bi Guangheng, who came to Shenyang with Shi Yousan, was not idle in Beiping some time ago, according to Shi Yousan's instructions, he spared no expense to contact Zhang Xueliang's henchmen, and Chiang Kai-shek's call was quietly leaked to Bi Guangheng, of course, Bi Guangheng had to bleed again, and took out 50,000 oceans.

After learning the news, Shi Yousan hurriedly resigned to Zhang Xueliang. But Zhang Xueliang just didn't let Shi Yousan go, while keeping Shi Yousan to live for a few more days, and on the other hand, he exchanged e-commerce with Chiang Kai-shek to excuse Shi Yousan.

In the end, although Zhang Xueliang persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to prevent this disaster for Shi Yousan, he had already kept Shi Yousan in Shenyang for a month.

In order to let Shi Yousan stay in the Northeast Army with peace of mind, Zhang Xueliang decided to supplement Shi Yousan's military salary of 600,000 yuan per month according to the actual number of people, plus the taxes collected by Shi Yousan in the territory he occupied, Shi Yousan finally had sufficient military salary at this time.

But Shi Yousan didn't appreciate it, he thought that the reason why Zhang Xueliang didn't let him go back to the army during the Spring Festival was to prepare for the case Chiang Kai-shek insisted on killing him, so that he could be arrested at any time, and Zhang Xueliang stayed in Shenyang for a month.
