When Yue Weihan heard this, he immediately became interested, and said hurriedly: ...... Please also ask Elder Rong to give advice.

"Don't dare to teach." Mr. Rong Desheng waved his hand and said, "What the old man wants to say is, 'Why don't we raise food from Siam, Burma, India, and Australia by buying and selling?'" "Buying and selling? Mr. Zhuang Xiyan was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't react at once.

"Yes, buy and sell." Mr. Rong Desheng said, "In fact, it is speculation." "Speculation? Yue Weihan came back to his senses, "The so-called speculation is actually futures speculation."

Mr. Rong Desheng then explained: "The specific CAO work is also very simple, first advance a large amount of money, through a variety of channels to quietly purchase surplus grain in the Myanmar market" and wait until the purchase is almost complete" and then publish Professor Zhu's research results to the public, so as to trigger a rush in the grain market to "speculate on the price of grain." ”

"When the price of grain is at a very high level, grain merchants from the United States, Britain, France, and even Japan will definitely transfer grain from Australia, India, Siam and other countries to Myanmar to make huge profits.

"At this time, most of the grain urgently dispatched by grain merchants from various countries has been transported to Myanmar, and the price of grain has fallen to a low level, if they are not willing to sell at a low price, "the grain can only rot in their hands" and transport it back to the original place, they will have to take another trip to freight, if nothing else, they will only be able to deal with it at a low price, and then we can buy a large number of them at a very low price. ”

"As long as the CAO does a good job, the difference between the price we buy and sell is enough to pay for all the grain purchases, but there must be a precondition for this" that is, we have to prepare a lot of money in the early stage" If there is not enough money, I am afraid that we will not be able to eat the grain stocks in the Myanmar market, and it will be difficult to speculate on the price. ”

"Funding is not a problem." Yue Weihan said, "Isn't there still 400 million US dollars in Taoyang Bank? ”

"But what is the funding for the research and running of the Nanyang Associated University?" Mr. Rong Desheng changed slightly, "Although the idea of the old decay is very high, it is still risky. ”

"I believe that Mr. Rong, this thing will definitely be done." Yue Weihan seemed quite determined.

Yue Weihan's determination is not unreasonable: "Because the current capitalist countries advocate an absolute market economy, and the government will never intervene in the market; in fact, administrative intervention in the market is a product of socialist countries, that is, the so-called planned economy, and it was only at the end of the 20 th century that Western countries slowly learned administrative intervention."

In other words, "once the price of grain in Burma is speculated, Yue Weihan will definitely not face the US and British governments, but only speculative businessmen from various countries." Not to mention anything else, "smashing down the Nanyang Bank's quotation of two dollars will definitely swallow these speculative businessmen even with their belts and bones!"

"I propose that a working group be set up." Yue Weihan finally made a decision and said, "Mr. Rong is the team leader, and Mr. Chen is the deputy team leader, in the recent period, you will put aside the work at hand for the time being" Concentrate on doing a good job in this matter, everyone, the 20,000 compatriots in the rear next year. The food is up to everyone! ”

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, Yue Weihan had just gotten up and was washing in the yard, when the adjutant Yuhu suddenly hurriedly walked in and said to Yue Weihan: "Brother Yue" has an accident. ”

Yue Weihan said: "What's wrong?" Yuhu said: "A British businessman had a conflict with a Chinese merchant in the morning market, and after the quarrel, the two sides started to fight, and the British businessman found a few Western boxers to seriously injure the Chinese merchants, and it happened that Gao Chu passed by with his special operations detachment, and he knocked down those Western boxers on the spot" and also played a heavy hand, two died, and six were seriously injured! ”

"Now," the British in Rangoon have already made a fuss, and hundreds of British businessmen are gathering outside the headquarters to ask for an explanation from the Chinese expeditionary force." ”

Yue Weihan's face immediately sank, and he said to Yuhu: "Prepare the car immediately and go to the headquarters." ”

When Yue Weihan arrived at the headquarters, Stilwell was playing the situation, and the old American man was already shouting so loudly that his voice was almost hoarse.

Yue Weihan was not so easy to speak, and as soon as he gave an order, the vigilant shì immediately rushed up from the camp and began to arrest people, and after a short period of resistance, "more than 200 British merchants were obediently bound, and all of them were thrown into prison."

In the office, Stilwell said to Yue Weihan worriedly: "Yue, if you do this, you will make a contradiction between China and Britain." ”

"Indecisive, sit back and wait for things to get out of control before you can resolve the contradictions." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "Again," as for now, the situation has calmed down, and when the British personnel arrive, I will naturally release them, and the British side has nothing to say, after all, this matter is their fault first, at most, the Chinese expeditionary force will give them some funeral expenses and medical expenses. ”

"Ugh." Stilwell sighed, and suddenly said, "Yue, have you noticed that the military discipline of the expeditionary force seems to have deteriorated a lot?" In particular, the officers and men of the special operations division and the airborne division often go out to cause trouble, and the police and gendarmerie do not dare to take care of it at all, and they can't control it." ”

Yue Weihan's heart sank when he heard this: "In the past half a year, he has been busy with the construction of industry, agriculture and education in Burma, and he has really thrown aside the training and style construction of the troops.

"Yue: "I heard that the discipline of the Eighth Route Army is very good. Contrary to Yue Weihan's expectations, Stilwell suddenly said, "And the reason why the discipline of the Eighth Route Army is good is entirely because they have established a political commissar system, and now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party" Why don't you make a request to the CCP and send some political commissars over to rectify military discipline? ”

"This" Yue Weihan was overjoyed in his heart, but he hesitated, "Is it appropriate?" ”

"What's inappropriate?" Stilwell waved his hand and said solemnly, "Ideology doesn't explain anything, as far as I know, the border district government in Yan'an is much cleaner than the Nationalist government in Chongqing," as long as the political commissar sent by the CCP can help the expeditionary force clean up military discipline, "our US government will definitely welcome it." ”

"That's good." Yue Weihan said happily, "That's it!" ”

Yan'an "Wayao Fort."

In the blink of an eye, it is the New Year again, and the whole Yan'an is full of lights and joy.

Although the Nationalist Government has not allocated funds to the government of the border region and the Eighth Route Army for several years, it is not at all difficult for the CCP to issue an order from the "Lord" of the Communist Party of China, and the entire border region has launched a vigorous campaign of production and self-help.

In the sound of crackling firecrackers, Zhou Gong and Mr. Zhu quickly walked into the kiln of the mao seat.

"Old mao, stop writing." Mr. Zhu took off the cotton coat on his body and hung it on the wall, sat down on the pit, and said to the mao master who was struggling to write, "Yan Laoxi is causing trouble again, and sent a reinforced group to copy Xiao Road to bypass Niangzi Pass, and wanted to sneak into the Taihang base to fight the autumn wind, but he asked Li Qinglong's garrison to wrap dumplings, hehe." ”

The mao [master] sat down the mao pen and said with a smile: "It seems that Chief Yan is sad this year."

Speaking of which, "since the main force of the 39th Group Army went on an expedition to Burma, the Taihang Mountain base area has been almost empty" Shanxi's Jin Sui Army and the Central Army did not lack the idea of attacking the Taihang Mountain base area, and Hu Zongnan mobilized heavy troops to attack several times, but the result was that countless soldiers were lost, but Li Qinglong's garrison division sent more than 100,000 reserve troops in vain.

Chief Yan also made several decisions: "The result is not much stronger than Hu Zongnan, and it is also a loss of troops."

Since the U.S. government drastically reduced aid to China, the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army have completely lost their sources of weapons and ammunition, and the Eighth Route Army has gone deep behind enemy lines, and can still save some possessions by pulling out artillery towers to build strongholds, but the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army have shrunk into the National Unification Army.

No, a few years ago, Chief Yan's Jin Sui Army let the Japanese garrison in Méng beat "The city has not lost a few, but the troops and belongings have lost many young and old, seeing that his family is getting less and less, how can Chief Yan not be in a hurry?" So he hit the idea to the Taihang base again, but he still made a loss-making deal.

Today's Chief Yan: "That's really Wang Bu's second New Year", a year is not as good as a year.

"Yan Laoxi doesn't care about him." Mr. Zhu waved his hand, and said with pride, "Now our Eighth Route Army has a million soldiers, and the weapons and equipment have been changed one after another, except that there are no planes and heavy howitzers, the firepower of more than 700 main regiments is no longer under the Japanese army at all, and it is not a piece of food to clean up the more than 200,000 Jin Sui troops?" With Yan Laoxi's troublesome method, if it weren't for the fact that it is now a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and our Eighth Route Army doesn't want to do the unjustified act of the relatives and enemies, "I would have ordered the Jin Sui Army to be wiped out." ”

Mao lit a cigarette and said to Zhou Gong with a smile: "Enlai, now our boss's waist is tough, Chief Yan's Jin Suijun is no longer a dish in his eyes, even Yan Junliu's North China Front Army is estimated to be a big meal" At most, it can only be regarded as an appetizer, hehe. ”

Zhou Gong waved his hand and said to the "Lord" seat: "The Lord" Yue Weihan has just sent a telegram from Myanmar, asking the Party Central Committee to send political commissars to all units above the regiment level of the Expeditionary Force of the Central Committee, and to appoint instructors to units above the platoon level, this is not a matter of xiao" and involves a large number of political cadres, do you think it is appropriate? ”

After listening to Zhou Gong's report, Mao's eyes immediately narrowed.

The expression on Mr. Zhu's face immediately became solemn, and he was silent for a long time before he said softly: "Lao Mao, I think this is feasible, and we have to hurry up, now the Chinese Expeditionary Force has also had millions of soldiers, and it is also a clean American weapon, and it also has millions of reserve soldiers, and more importantly, the heavy industry base of Myanmar has been built." ”

After saying this, Mr. Zhu said again: "Lao Mao, we can't forget the lessons of the Four Front Army." ”

Back then, after the Central Red Army transferred Sichuan to join the Red Fourth Front Army, because the strength of the Red Fourth Front Army greatly exceeded that of the Central Red Army, Zhang Guotao, the commander of the Fourth Front Army, had the idea of seizing power, and after the attempt to seize power, he led his troops to flee and set up another Central Army in Sichuan, causing great losses to the Red Army and the Central Army!

Among them, Mr. Zhu, who was kidnapped by Zhang Guotao, was the most touched.

That's why Mr. Zhu said, "He is indeed a little worried that Yue Weihan will become the second Zhang Guotao."

Mao [Lord] sat silently smoking, and did not express his position easily, Zhou Gong also considered and said: "I can still trust Yue Weihan's political consciousness, if he is really the same kind of person as Zhang Guotao, he would not have taken the initiative to move closer to our party at the beginning, but this comrade's life style is indeed a little flawed, and someone should be sent to supervise him and remind him." ”

"Whoa." Zhou Gong's voice fell, "Mao 『Lord』 suddenly waved his hand, and said disappreciably, "Regarding Comrade Yue Weihan's life style, it should still be treated in two, yes, Comrade Yue Weihan is surrounded by many beautiful women, I heard that there are two foreign sisters, but Yue Weihan is not married after all, as the so-called man is not married, and the woman is not married, what kind of mistake can it be considered that the two parties are in love and talk about love?" ”

Zhou Gong and Mr. Zhu could only smile bitterly.

Regarding Yue Weihan's sī life question, "It's really not a mistake to seriously investigate it" to play longfù girl? can't talk about it at all, people are clearly in love, so why bother outsiders to meddle in things? Bigamy? It's even more ridiculous, people have never been married at all" Where did the crime of bigamy come from? Corrupted life? Falling in love and pursuing beautiful love is also considered a corrupt life?

The mao [Lord] seat twitched hard. Cigarettes, about to snuff out the cigarette butts in the soles of his shoes, said to Mr. Zhu and Zhou Gong: "It is feasible and necessary to send political work cadres to Myanmar in principle, and Comrade Yue Weihan's political literacy and overall situation are also excellent." I believe that he is by no means making superficial statements, and the crux of the question is "in what name should political work cadres be sent to punish them?" ”

At present, the national government has declined, and the chairman of the mao "chairman" does not have many scruples, but the international repercussions cannot but be considered.

"Oh, Yue Weihan has already thought about this question for us." Zhou Gongdao, "It will be appointed in the name of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party." ”

"In the name of KMT-CCP cooperation?" Hearing this, Mao Xi's heart suddenly moved slightly, and his eyes narrowed again.

Speaking of which, it is now the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation" However, relatively speaking, the first cooperation during the Northern Expedition of the National Grass Army is the real meaning of the Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, at that time, the identity of the ** members within the National Army is public" Moreover, ** has indeed made many meritorious contributions in the Northern Expedition "Not to mention anything else, Wuchang City was defeated by Ye Tǐng's Independent Regiment.

However, the second KMT-CCP cooperation after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War "is only a formal cooperation, but in any case, it is now a period of secondary cooperation, as long as Yue Weihan is willing, the CCP will send political cadres to Burma to reprimand political cadres is really justifiable and smooth, and Chairman Chiang has nothing to say at all, because now is the period of KMT-CCP cooperation."

Seeing that Mao was silent, Zhou Gong said tentatively: "Lord, if you agree, I will select suitable political cadres, I estimate that if you want to improve the political commissar and instructor system in the entire expeditionary force, it will take more than 20,000 political work cadres, to say the least, but fortunately, there are many party members in the expeditionary force, "as long as you have a little training, you can serve as company and platoon level instructors, but the political commissar above the regiment level must be appointed from Yan'an, so the underground jiao line from Yan'an to Burma must be established as soon as possible." ”

Mao [Lord] Xi waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Other cadres are easy to say, the key is who is the political commissar of Yue Weihan?" ”
