Thinking of the Zeppelin, Song Zhewu naturally thought of the German mustache.

Now, the mustache's power is just in the early stage of great development, and the financial situation is still very bad. Especially now that the mustache is working hard for the presidential campaign in half a year, and needs a lot of financial support. At this time, if he is close to the mustache, it will definitely be a relief in the snow, and there may be many benefits in terms of military and technical assistance in the future, which will be very helpful for him to resist the Soviet Union or resist the Soviet Union.

And if you wait until July next year, after the German parliamentary election, the value of the other party will immediately double, and then you want to add icing on the cake, and the impression left on the mustache will be reduced a lot.

However, the connection with the mustache still made Song Zhewu feel very uneasy. After thinking about it, he finally decided to send a secret telegram to his eldest brother Song Zhewen, asking him in detail to secretly donate 300,000 yuan to the mustache on his behalf.

Originally, Song Zhewu wanted to buy 400 fighter jets for emergency purposes before his aircraft could not be mass-produced, but now it is impossible.

Fortunately, the aircraft factory in Taiyuan is now able to produce its own fighters, but it has encountered some problems in developing new high-power engines. Song Zhewu now realizes that he is a little ambitious, and he should start by imitating and producing the engines of today's era, and then go beyond the development on this basis.

Therefore, Song Zhewu decided to buy 600 Hornet engines from Pratt & Whitney to use in his own aircraft. At the same time, he also purchased the production technology and patents of the bumblebee. In order to facilitate Pratt & Whitney's efforts to dredge up the State Council, Song Zhewu also contacted Curtiss to purchase and build a large aircraft factory, an automobile factory, a tractor factory, and an engine factory.

It's just that all these equipment will have to go ashore in Tianjin, and we will have to wait until May next year.

Although the profits of radios, refrigerators, air conditioners, and stockings produced by joint ventures with Galvin, DuPont and other companies in the United States are very gratifying, according to the contract, dividends will not be implemented until the first quarter of the next year. There was no way, in order to raise funds, Song Zhewu even used the reserve gold of the "North American Brothers Investment Bank".

The reason for this is that Song Zhewu has no money.

During this time, it was not only because Beimeng needed to store a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food, as well as a large number of other military supplies and construction materials, which cost a huge amount of money. Nearly 40 million yuan was spent on the 1 million sets of leather jackets, leather trousers, and woolen coats that needed to be prepared for the combat units in Northern Mongolia and the Jing Yuexiu 47th Army in Inner Mongolia.

Jia Jingde is not distressed about spending a lot of money to make winter clothes for the Northern Mongolian troops, after all, the Northern Mongolian troops want to fight desperately against the Soviet army in the ice and snow, and they should wear warmer. However, Jia Jingde didn't understand that Song Zhewu made 300,000 sets of expensive winter clothes, and Xiao Guodong explained the reason to him.

Xiao Guodong told Jia Jingde that the situation in the northeast is very tense, and there is intelligence that he is likely to provoke an incident in the northeast, which is Song Zhewu's early preparations to deal with the situation in the northeast.

The most expensive is Song Zhewu's cost of accepting and reetting refugees.

In the past six months or so, Song Zhewu has successively accepted more than 30 million refugees, which far exceeded the expectations of Jia Jingde, Xiao Guodong, Jia Jiying, Zhao Pilian, He Qigong and others. They thought that hundreds of thousands or even millions of victims would reach the sky, but they never imagined that the scope of this flood would sweep through most of China, so that the number of refugees would be so large.

However, while the number of refugees is much higher than they expected, the cost of money is staggering, especially during the cold winter months in the north, when heating is needed. Even if the minimum monthly living expenses for each refugee are guaranteed, it will cost 8 yuan per month, which means that the refugees alone will need a huge amount of 250 million yuan per month. This made the budget of the Northern Construction and Development Committee for the whole year immediately bottomed out.

Although the cost is staggering, it can't stop halfway through, especially Song Zhewu's attitude is extremely resolute, insisting that as long as there are refugees who want to come to Northern Mongolia, they must be accepted all.

However, it is impossible to receive so many victims without money, because a large number of victims have arrived in Taiyuan and in the north and south of Mongolia, and now the price of grain in Shanxi has risen sharply, and it will cost a lot of money to buy the most urgently needed grain from abroad and other provinces.

After discussing with Song Zhewu, Jia Jingde had no choice but to borrow a large amount of money from the Northern Investment and Development Bank.

In the areas controlled by the Northern Construction and Development Committee, and even in the whole of Shanxi, the materials purchased can be paid for in Tang Yuan, and the people here have built up confidence in Tang Yuan. However, in other regions, especially food imports from abroad, they have to use the oceans.

This year, because of the implementation of the new land policy, the Taiyuan Administration has vigorously renovated the water conservancy facilities, and the unbridled floods have not caused any harm to the Taiyuan Administration. On the contrary, the agriculture of the Taiyuan Administration has also seen a bumper harvest this year. In particular, the harvest of a large number of demonstration farms was extremely gratifying, which made Song Zhewu buy a lot of grain.

In order to reduce the simple relief as much as possible and reduce the burden on the Northern Construction and Development Committee, Jia Jingde discussed with Song Zhewu, Xu Yiqing, and Qiao Yingxia, and the Taiku Railway Administration hired a large number of migrant workers to build the Taiku Railway. Therefore, Song Zhewu also instructed Ling Hongxun to strive to complete the construction of the railway from Taiyuan to Baiyun Obo by May next year.

Employing a large number of victims to build railways can certainly speed up the construction of the speed, but the cost will naturally increase significantly, and the Taiku Railway Administration will not be able to come up with such a large sum of money, and this money still has to be borrowed from the Northern Development and Investment Bank and the Taiyuan Commercial Bank, and it is also an interest-free loan, which was approved by the board of directors of the Taiku Railway.

Of course, this loan will be repaid, but it will be repaid year by year in the profits of the Taiku Railway, which was built ahead of schedule.

Because Northern Mongolia was at war, and Jia Jingde had always been skeptical about the final victory over the Soviet army in Northern Mongolia, he suggested to Song Zhewu whether to resettle these victims in Taihang and Suiyuan. However, Song Zhewu insisted on making preparations for the relocation of the victims to northern Mongolia.

Jia Jingde had no choice but to gather hundreds of thousands of migrant workers and hand them over to Chu Feng first, and these people should rush to Beimeng in advance to start building the planned towns and roads in Beimeng, so that a large number of people could be relocated after the beginning of spring next year.

Even so, the capital of the ocean of the Northern Investment and Development Bank and the Taiyuan Commercial Bank has long been gone, and if it were not for the very hot sales of Xinghua and the return of a large number of oceans every day, the Tang Yuan would have been in a state of insufficient reserves like the Jin banknotes before the devaluation.

For this reason, Song Zhewu has even instructed Jia Jiying to start secretly selling the gold he has been reluctant to use. Jia Jiying and Jia Jingde have repeatedly expressed their worries to Song Zhewu.

Although Song Zhewu was also very anxious, as the supreme head of the Northern Frontier Governor's Office, he had to maintain enough confidence. Every time, he calmly told the two that they didn't have to worry about money, and he had a way to get enough funds.

Although Song Zhewu was overwhelmed by the money affair, and the fighting in Northern Mongolia became more and more intense, the Soviet army in the center had reached Kulen and launched a fierce attack on the fortress group at the big bend in the west of Kulun. Even Tao Rong had already led a team of capable staff officers to Beimeng to form a headquarters.

However, Song Zhewu had to stay in Taiyuan and turn all his attention to the northeast.

Because it was already 18 September, around 5 September, the news that the Kwantung Army was going to launch an incident in northeast China spread in Shenyang from a drunken and arrogant talker......
