Chapter 506: Raising Funds
Wuhan, Luojiashan Jiang WWwlā
has just been elected as the president of GMD, and the war situation is currently quite stable, Lao Jiang's mood is particularly good, but the only thing that disturbs him is the fact that the "Honorary First Division" was transferred west to Wuhan to recuperate.
Many people have openly criticized him for not understanding military affairs and completely blind command, and his command level as a battalion commander is really not qualified to be China's military commander!
Public criticism is already relatively polite, slamming the table in private, scolding mothers, these generals of the Republic of China, what is their background, who doesn't know who?
Tired of listening, Lao Jiang simply hung up the sign of "no guest", and all those who came to him to theorize the transfer of the "Honorary First Division" were all blocked, and they were gone!
For Lao Jiang's scoundrel behavior, those who are looking for trouble can only jump to their feet, scold their mother, and then criticize Lao Jiang's half-command level in the newspaper.
Lao Jiang didn't know that the non-parliament was so big, he couldn't help but be a little stupid, fortunately, this is just a bureau, and it is not really transferred back to the honorary first division, otherwise the reputation of this life will be buried.
Even Chen Bulei's royal . I don't know how to argue for Lao Jiang with the pen, and this "literary courage" seems to have to put the pen aside and let it go.
Lao Jiang also knew that he was embarrassed, and he didn't trouble him, so he tried his best to plan other things for him.
"Sir, the Honorary First Division called, saying that it was possible to consider letting them rest and replenish on the spot, without having to travel long distances to the rear......" Lin Wei received a telegram from Leng Feng, a little strange, isn't this all right, why did he still have such a telegram?
Lao Jiang raised his eyelids slightly, this kid is really thoughtful, knowing that if he doesn't take this order, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion, and there is no shortage of smart people in the Japanese army, and the think tanks in their staff department have not studied and analyzed Leng Feng's character.
There must be demons if there is abnormality, so Leng Feng and the first division of honor must make a gesture of resistance.
"This is a collective decision of the military committee, telling Leng Feng that the troops must be marched to Wuhan within a time limit, and there is no room for bargaining!" Lao Jiang ordered.
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute, in the future, such telegrams will be replied as such, and there is no need to ask for further instructions." Lao Jiang stopped Lin Wei and ordered, "Let the Ministry of Military Affairs specially allocate 1.5 million legal dollars to the Honorary First Division as the army's salary and promotion fee." ”
"Understood."
1.5 million, which is a lot, this is absolutely unique among the troops of the Central Army, you must know how tight the military spending is now, and every penny is eager to be broken into two cents.
"What, one and a half million, it's too much, and the commission is too much to honor the first division." He Jingzhi was taken aback when he received Lin Wei's call.
"Brother Jing, this is what the president means, you can do it."
"Brother Weiwen, it's not that I don't approve it, but the money is not in my hands, and this Ministry of Finance is not opened by me, 1.5 million, how much is my military expenditure for ** a year?"
"Minister Jingzhi, you can say this to the president in person, the matter of money must be in place, and the Ministry of Military Affairs will approve it." Lin Wei said.
"Okay, I'm okay here, I don't have any money anyway." He Jingyi understood when he heard it, he didn't have to worry about this money, let Confucius Yuan find a way.
Lin Wei sighed slightly, He Jingzhi didn't want to see the Honor First Division and Leng Feng, tens of thousands of people, and the military and political department that ate and drank Lazar seemed to have forgotten?
More than one and a half million?
He doesn't think it's much, can you buy an elite for 1.5 million, you can't buy 10 million!
Besides, is there a shortage of this 1.5 million?
There is no shortage, now in the entire ****, the richest is the honorary first division, how much money is there, and half of Nanjing has let him pull it, although this is a bit exaggerated, there are not so many.
They really got a lot of things from Nanjing, and there is no way to count this amount, so they know it in their own hearts.
Of course, the value of cultural relics cannot be measured, nor can they be realized, at least, these things have not appeared on the market, and it is clear that the First Division of Honor has not done such a quick success.
This is a stick, give a sweet date, Confucius Ziyuan, who has just become the premier, received this job, and he couldn't help but have a headache, what is the current situation of the treasury, others don't know, but he is a family member who knows it in his heart.
One and a half million, I can still get it together.
"Take the president's office!"
"President, I have seen the approval of the Ministry of Military Affairs, I am thinking of a way to fund the opening of the 1.5 million yuan of the Honorary First Division, can you allow me a few days in terms of time?"
"Okay, okay, got it, thank you President!"
Putting down the phone, Kong Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this money does not need to be given in a hurry, of course, it has to be given after all, and there is no problem in delaying it for a few days.
In this way, he also has a lot less pressure.
The news about the transfer of the 1st Honorary Division to Wuhan for rest and recuperation also had a huge impact among the people, and the people of Wuhan were naturally happy, and the 1st Honorary Division was stationed in Wuhan, so there was no need to be afraid of the Japanese if they lost their armor and protected such a heroic unit that fought on the battlefield.
However, some knowledgeable people are worried that if the most elite and capable troops are transferred back at this time, won't the Japanese army have no opponent and drive straight in?
Office of the Eighth Route Army.
"Zhou Gong is back!"
The small conference room on the second floor was full of people, and everyone was waiting anxiously.
"I inquired with a few familiar people, and the order was issued in the name of the Wuhan Provisional Military Commission, which shows that Mr. Jiang did not make the decision alone!"
"Not alone?"
"The specifics are not clear now, and it is said that the highest level of gag order was issued." Zhou Gongdao, "That's all I can hear." ”
"Is there any news from Zhang Wenbai?" Dong Lao asked.
"It's pretty much the same, that's pretty much what it means." Zhou Gong asked, "Is there any news from ZX?" ”
"Not yet, I guess there is also a heated discussion on the ZX side!"
"Then we can only wait and see, it has been thirty-six hours since the order was issued, and now it seems that there is basically no possibility of retraction." Zhou Gong clenched his fists helplessly and said.
"Duke Zhou, can you get some news from the First Division of Honor?"
"I'm afraid this won't work."
"Didn't the old cat get in touch......
"No, the old cat is dormant, and this line can't move until the critical moment!"
"Don't we have another line?" Everyone looked at Zhou Gong, this line was in his own hands, and no one knew the real situation except him.
"This line is not yet classified and cannot be used at this stage." Zhou Gong shook his head.
"So what to do, it's the most critical moment now......"
"ZX Emergency!"
Just when everyone was at a loss, a responsible comrade of the confidential section hurriedly came in.
"What did ZX say?"
"ZX, let's wait and see what happens for the time being, and in addition, order the XSJ Jiangbei detachment to be ready for a hard battle with the Japanese army at any time, and reserve ammunition and food."
"Okay, got it."
"Can't the ZX see through it?"
"I don't know, maybe I noticed something, maybe there is nothing good to do for the time being."
"I just heard a news from the Ministry of Military Affairs that Lao Jiang has allocated 1.5 million fiat currency to the Honorary First Division!"
"Hey, this old Jiang is really favoritism, how much is the military expenditure of our 18th Army in a year?"
"Is the news true?"
"That's right, it was an order personally delivered by Lin Wei from the chamberlain's room, and He Jingzhi has signed a warrant for appropriation and handed it over to the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank for handling."
"It seems that the withdrawal of the first division of honor to the west of Wuhan is ironclad!" When everyone heard the news, they couldn't help but be saddened.
"What's the reaction from the First Division of Honor?"
"The 1st Honor Division is now a unit directly under the jurisdiction of the Military Commission, and all communications and telegrams are directly connected with the Ministry of Military Affairs, and it has the power to directly reach the heavens."
"Lao Jiang issued a strict order not to discuss the matter of the first division of honor retreating west to Wuhan, and the violators will be severely punished!"
"Zhou Gong, students from several universities in Wuhan and more than a dozen middle schools plan to take to the streets tomorrow to oppose the withdrawal of the first division of honor to Wuhan ...... west." Comrade Yun asked.
"Students can go out on the streets, but they must be well guided, they must not find an excuse for the GMD authorities to arrest students, and they must control their emotions and avoid conflicts."
"Yes!"
"Zhou Gong ......"
Zhou Gong's face changed slightly: "I know, I will deal with this matter personally." ”
Nanjing, the headquarters of the Japanese Central China Front.
"The news from the mole came back, and the military and political dignitaries at all levels in Wuhan expressed their incomprehension of the transfer of the Honorary First Division to the west for rest, and many of them asked to withdraw this order, but Mr. Jiang, who had just become the president of GMD, seemed unmoved......
"Yaxi, Imai-kun, can your intelligence department judge this?"
Takeo Imai thought for a moment: "General, according to what our intelligence department knows about Jiang, he is a person who will not change his mind easily, since he has explicitly ordered the Honorary First Division to withdraw to Wuhan for rest, then he must maintain his authority, and this order will not be withdrawn at least more than half of the chance." ”
"How's the secret exchange with the First Division of Honor?"
"They did not have more than one hundred and fifty people at a time for covert purposes, but it went well, and now it is going on almost every night."
"Is the evidence all preserved?"
"They are very vigilant, the trade is on the water, and no other ships are allowed to exist within 100 meters of four or five weeks, so it is difficult for us to do anything." Takeo Imai shook his head.
"It sounds like they're cautious and professional."
"Yes, the person in charge of dealing with us is very experienced, and it turns out that he is a member of their intelligence agency, the military commander." Takeo Imai explained.
"Military commander, no wonder, their leader Dai Yunong, this person planned the assassination of people friendly to me in Tianjin, and the impact was extremely bad!" Shunroku Hata said with a slight anger.
"Yes, this man is a wizard in intelligence, but unfortunately he can't be used by the Empire." Takeo Imai said.
"It's important to find a way to spy on the attitude of the First Division of Honor to the westward retreat to Wuhan for recuperation." "It is related to the next move of our Central China Front." ”
"Hay!"
"General, Commander Ushijima asks to see you!"
"Let him in!"
"General......
