Chapter 370: Southwest Transportation Department
Jiang Cheng pointed to the cannon and said, "You know that Germany is reorganizing its armament and warfare, and many old weapons have been eliminated, so I bought it and shipped it over through my relationship, there are a total of 7,000 rifles, 200 Mark core machine guns, 300 Czech light machine guns, 100 mortars, and countless ammunition, and then these cannons, what you see is the Czech M1925 150mm howitzer, Weighing 3.8 tons and having a firing range of 11,800 meters, this gun is a single-legged gun mount with a small firing range, which is outdated in Europe, but in our case, it is still a good baby.

Jiang Jingguo nodded again and again, and asked with eyes full of stars, "Brother Gu Quan, you are too powerful, how did you bring this in?" Is that all there are three? β
Jiang Cheng smiled: "Of course not." I have a total of 12 guns, but I have to avoid people's eyes with three is already the limit, the rest of the artillery and weapons are on the ship, will come from the Yunnan-Burma road, but you need to sign for it, the traffic over there is controlled, I can't transport it. β
Jiang Jingguo immediately said, "This is easy to do, I asked Wang Sheng to go on a trip to do this thing, Gu Quan, you are finally here, you must have two drinks with me, I tell you, I am a bitter in my heart, and the commission has refused my request again and again...."
Jiang Cheng listened to Jiang Jingguo's words with a smile, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, Jiang Jingguo didn't know, but he got the latest news, in Yangon, there will be someone waiting for * Jiang Jingguo, but in this life, I don't know who wins and who loses.
At this time, Jiang Jingguo suddenly said, "Gu Quan, do you think I can trust you?" β
Jiang Cheng's attention was pulled back, and he said with a smile, "Of course you can, we are friends." β
Jiang Jingguo nodded and said, "Okay, let me tell you something, the Red Party contacted me and wanted me to go to Yan'an secretly to have a look, and they wanted me to know about the situation in Yan'an in order to maintain the anti-Japanese united front." β
Jiang Cheng knew about this, and this was also part of the united front work, but he still pretended to be surprised and said, "Jianfeng, you won't be ready to go, your identity is more sensitive." β
Jiang Jingguo held Jiang Cheng's hand and said, "I know that my identity is sensitive, but I really want to go and see, the Red Party can win against the Japanese army again and again, there must be his reason, Brother Gu Quan, let me tell you, in fact, I have always understood in my heart that in many places, our White Party is inferior to the Red Party, I hope I can learn the advantages of the Red Party, to improve our country and the White Party." β
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Then I have to ask you to take a seat, so are you going or not?" β
Jiang Jingguo said a little embarrassedly, "If you can, I hope you can help me go and see the situation first, I was caught by the Red Party and locked up for several years, and I was actually a little worried in my heart." β
Jiang Cheng smiled secretly in his heart, and said in his mouth, "No problem, then I'll leave later, I'm also very interested in the Red Party." β
Jiang Jingguo said as if comforting Jiang Cheng, "Don't worry, although there has been some misunderstanding between red and white recently, they still won't mess around, if they want to arrest you or kill you, you just say that you are my brother, and they should be jealous." β
Jiang Cheng was helpless about Jiang Jingguo's naivety, and said, "Okay, you can rest assured, it won't be long before I tell you all about the situation in Yan'an, and if you don't go then, just let it be." β

Roosevelt tapped his leg, looked at Hoover's report and said, "Is that all?" β
Hoover nodded and said, "That's all we found for the time being, the Germans seem to be very wary of us, but it is certain that the Soviets will reach a certain degree of cooperation with the Germans in this military exercise." β
Roosevelt was not worried, and said, "Germany and the Soviet Union cannot cooperate forever, and couples with incompatible personalities cannot end well... This information can confirm that Hitler will carry out another military operation next year. Very good, hard work, you go down. β
Hoover returned to his office, 45 years old, no longer young, but still energetic. Because Roosevelt secretly ordered him to investigate some things that even the Department of Justice did not know, his power expanded rapidly, and today, he has become an uncrowned king, he knows that information is power, secret is power, and even Roosevelt does not know how much this listener who often does not speak with a crooked mouth knows.
A middle-aged woman wearing stockings and high heels walked over, handed a piece of information to Hoover and said, "This is just sorted out, we still haven't found any trace of the disappearance or murder of Einstein and other scientists, this group of people is extremely professional and premeditated." If they leave the United States, then it must not be through regular customs, or there are corrupt elements in our customs. β
Hoover snorted, "Are we still less corrupt?" Gandhi, do you find out what the other person wants these people to do? β
Gandhi, Hoover's personal secretary, had been with Hoover since he was 21 years old, when Hoover was only 23, and Gandhi said, "Yes, we found that they had one thing in common, which was that most of their research was focused on physics, and that most of their manuscripts had been destroyed." β
Hoover shook his head and said, "What is this?" A mysterious organization's revenge on physics? Did he get a zero in physics? Who could it be? Germany? United Kingdom? Or the USSR? β
Gandhi continued: "We have learned in our European informants that this is not just happening to us, but the whole world is disappearing from the top of the world in physics, but there are not many of them. β
Hoover sighed, "Headless Case... Let's just let it go, listen at once to all the German and Soviet groups, the phone calls, the telegrams, and make sure to find out what these guys want to do. β
Gan nodded and turned to leave, Hoover looked at Gandhi's back tenderly, sighed, he knew that he and Gandhi would never be possible, and it would be impossible since the rejection of the proposal that day.
Hoover refocused and began to look at the intelligence on his desk, and suddenly, there was a piece of information that attracted his attention, which said that Kong Xiangxi, the president of China's Executive Yuan, had successfully annexed the Huaxi Company, and in the past, the Huaxi Company controlled a large number of bristles, and as a strategic material, the main producer of bristles was China, Hoover couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said, "Now this hole is rich." β
-- Chongqing
"Dad, this big piece of fat on the Yunnan-Burma Highway can't just be occupied by Song Ziwen and Dai Li, they make a windfall by carrying private goods, and they don't give us any oil and water, how can this work, I think we can also set up a transportation company." It was Kong Lingkan who spoke, this was not the first time he had said this, as early as when Jiang appointed Song Ziliang as the director of the Southwest Transportation Department, he was red-eyed.
You must know that since the fall of Guangzhou, although Hong Kong is still there, and the Fuzhou waterway is also open, but important arms and materials cannot pass through these places at all, and countless Japanese warships are watching here all the time, and only through the Yunnan-Burma highway in Yangon is the safest, and the Yunnan-Burma highway is the safest, and the Yunnan-Burma highway is mastered by the southwest transportation office, which consists of more than a dozen departments such as the business office, the secretariat, and the security office, and it is particularly worth mentioning the security office. It is a special agency under the direct control of the military command, which directly supervises the overall work of the Southwest Transportation Company.
Kong Xiangxi heard what Kong Lingkan said, and his heart was also itchy, he saw Song Ziwen and Dai Li scooping up a lot of money in the Southwest Transportation Department, and he could only sit on the cold bench like a backup player who couldn't play, and the taste was really uncomfortable than digging his heart with a knife.
Kong Lingyi, the eldest sister next to her, said, "After all, we are relatives, we shouldn't fight, besides, our Huaxi company will have to digest it for a while." β
Hung Lingyi is the eldest lady of the Kong family, she does not like to fight, but she is very particular, she drinks bird's nest soup for breakfast every day, and comes with a variety of high-end dim sum flown in from Hong Kong. Lunch will be at least six dishes and two soups. The perfumes, fat powders, and lipsticks used for makeup are all made in France, and the clothes are changed every day, and even the bath powder is made in the UK. This kind of life did not change even in the most difficult time of the Anti-Japanese War.
The so-called Huaxi Company was originally a comprehensive company established by Hu Zhongshi and Hu Shuqian in 1932. It is composed of local warlords, bureaucrats and politicians and financial investment, and has a strong technical team, with Huaxing Machinery Factory, Hualian Steel Factory, Huataishu Factory, Huayi Brick and Tile Factory, Huaxi Automobile Repair Factory, Huaxi Pig Bristle Factory, Huaxi Construction Engineering Department and a series of light and heavy factories, among which heavy industry is the highlight, most of the power stations and dams in the southwest are built by him, but unfortunately, the backer of the Hu brothers is Liu Xiang, and at this time, Liu Xiang can only protect them in the sky.
Kong Xiangxi soon pretended to borrow money at first, and then took advantage of the fact that Huaxi Company's funds were short of funds to coerce and lure, and even in the investment documents approved by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, he proposed in a threatening tone that "steel, electricity, and mining are all heavy industries and are closely related to the construction of the country during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression," and that "Huaxi, Hualian, and CLP must form a China Industrial Company together," and said that "this move is deeply appreciated by the president of the Netherlands." Hu Zhongshi felt that a hard fight was not possible, so he had to compromise, and after negotiation, Kong only reluctantly agreed that Huaxi could be independent, and everything else would be merged. In order to cover up his own edge, Kong also instructed Hu Zhongshi and others, in the name of the initiators, to report the process of organizing ZTE to the Executive Yuan for approval, as if the idea was not put forward by him but by Hu Zhongshi.
Today, Kong Xiangxi has been elected chairman of the board of directors of Huaxi Company, and there are 11 managing directors who have been elected to each other at the first board meeting, with bureaucratic capital accounting for nine seats and commercial stocks only getting two seats.
Kong Xiangxi did not do two endlessly, and immediately wrote to Jiang Intermediary to ask for the integration of the iron and steel heavy industry enterprises in the rear, in fact, at this time, the annual output of iron in the entire rear is only 40,000 tons, and the steel is less than 2,000 tons, but this has also been vigorously rewarded by Jiang Intermediary, you know, in the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, this steel is only 900 tons, Kong Xiangxi can double the steel output in a year, and it is indeed worth his brag (shameless, the author is almost unbearable to write)
Kong Lingwei was not happy when he heard the words of the eldest sister, and jumped on the stool and said, "As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons in the shopping mall, let alone relatives, I have an idea, aren't we going to integrate heavy industry now, what is piled up in Yangon is not only weapons and ammunition, but also a lot of machinery and equipment bought from abroad, steel materials, we can say that in order to maximize the production capacity of our factory, we must have a transportation team of our own to transport the things that the factory urgently needs, and we will unite some people. Not to mention Song Ziwen and Dai Li, even with the Chen Guofu brothers, I don't think we are afraid. β
Kong Xiangxi couldn't help but applaud when he heard it: "Okay! Ling Wei's idea this time is good, do you have any rewards you want? β
Kong Lingkan hurriedly said, "Sister, don't rob me, I have long valued the southwest." β
Kong Lingwei said disappreciatively, "China is fighting wars everywhere, what is there to make money, I want to go to the United States, with my younger brother, and save it.. I am in charge of you every day, and the last time I bought a plane and came back, I scolded me. β
Kong Xiangxi's eyes widened and said, "You still said that if I hadn't covered for you, did you really think that those pilots wouldn't have found out that there was something wrong with the plane?" It's okay if you want to go to the United States, but you want to go to the United States to study, and your mother has arranged a school for you, and you don't want to come back without getting a diploma there. β
Kong Lingwei still wanted to speak, but suddenly his eyes rolled and said, "Okay, isn't it a diploma, can it still stump me?" β
Kong Lingkancai didn't care about this sister who couldn't control himself, he hurriedly said, "Then let's say so, Dad, I don't care about the trust bureau in Hong Kong." β
Kong Xiangxi shook his head when he heard this, this trust bureau is one of the most important financial institutions in the Republic of China, and it is located in the safe Hong Kong, Kong Xiangxi deliberately let Kong Lingkan manage it, it can be said that it is not not well-intentioned, but Kong Lingkan first ran a few newspapers and periodicals, and constantly sang praises for the Kong family, and then for the sake of convenience, set up a private radio station to contact Chongqing, but was caught by the British, and Japan even put pressure on Kong Lingkan to be an intelligence spy agent, so that Kong Lingkan was not embarrassed, and finally could only return to Chongqing gloomily.
Kong Xiangxi also knew that Kong Lingkan had no way to manage the Trust Bureau anymore, so he could only say, "Okay, then you can go to Yangon, don't make trouble there anymore." β
Kong Lingkan hummed nonchalantly, and then went out to prepare, Kong Xiangxi couldn't help crying and laughing, this Jiang intermediary hadn't agreed to let him get involved, what was this Kong Lingkan anxious about.
But I have to say that Kong Lingkan really knows Jiang Intermediary and others, Jiang Intermediary heard Kong Xiangxi's plan, immediately agreed, and let Kong Xiangxi set up the Southwest Transportation Company, under the jurisdiction of nearly 1,000 trucks, directly under the Southwest Transportation Department, Kong Xiangxi also knew to take care of Song Ziwen's face, secretly promised to give Song Ziwen all the southeast coastal business, and the southwest also gave him a little dry shares, Song Ziwen and Dai Li stopped talking, acquiescing to the situation.
