"Yes, Chairman..."Facing the chairman in front of him, his face suddenly became serious, and several people also knew the priority of the matter, without any hesitation, and replied loudly... In this way, the mighty convoy, in the shocked eyes of everyone, drove into Yan'an City one after another, and drove towards the central station, which was surrounded by heavy troops not far away, ready to hand over all kinds of materials handed over by themselves..."So many cars... My mother, I've never seen so many cars in my life..."Just when the cars with a huge roar, under the heavy protection of the soldiers of the Guard Brigade, slowly drove into Yan'an City one by one. The people in Yan'an City, who had already heard the movement at the city gate, immediately gathered on both sides of the highway, ready to watch the excitement. Looking at the mighty convoy that drove into Yan'an City, these ordinary people who lived in poor Yan'an all the year round and basically never went out widened their eyes, as if they were looking at monsters, looking at the convoy in front of them. Even those knowledgeable ordinary people couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamations when they saw so many cars at one time..."The troops of the Eighth Route Army must have won another big battle outside, otherwise there would not have been so many cars at all." You see, there are a lot of cannons, such a long barrel, I have never seen it in the Eighth Route Army troops in Yan'an City. I think these cannons must have been snatched from the hands of the little devils... The army is powerful, the little devils cry wolf, and they have captured so many cars and artillery..."A cry of exclamation, with the cars dragging artillery, slowly walked in front of them, and immediately from different corners, to the ears of the soldiers of the guard brigade on both sides of the car..."Long live, long live the Eighth Route Army...."I don't know who it is, seeing the mighty convoy in front of me, because of the excitement in my heart, I shouted a slogan loudly to the people around me. Immediately afterwards, on both sides of the highway, among the people who were already excited, there was an earth-shattering roar....

In the excited roar of the surrounding people, the mighty convoy slowly drove towards the central station in Yan'an City... As the trucks slowly entered the heavily defended central station, boxes filled with various financial affairs began to be handed over under the personal command of Vice Chairman Zhou. After that, it was transported to the central strategic material warehouse... One after another, the cars that filled the house were carried and handed over by a large number of soldiers. Then, the empty truck slowly drove out of Yan'an City from the other direction of the central station.

With the assistance of thousands of soldiers of the Guard Brigade, after almost a day of transportation, all the supplies on the 94 trucks were finally handed over to the Central Logistics Office... At this moment, after arranging the specific camp of a large number of troops led by Liu Hua and political commissar Luo Ronghuan. Several leaders of the Central Committee, under the organization of the chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou, held a brief meeting of the Politburo in the small conference room of the Central Committee at the first time. Of course, the content of the meeting should be guessed by everyone, that is, about a great gift from the reader to the central government....

In a small conference room in the Central Residence, several members of the Politburo Standing Committee were all seated together. However, among the few people, except for the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou and the commander-in-chief, the remaining few people were at a loss for the sudden Politburo meeting, and they didn't know if the chairman was so anxious that these people called together, whether there was anything important to announce, or what big decisions needed to be made by the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the front line suddenly in addition to some major events. However, just when a few people were thinking hard about the content of the meeting, a familiar and powerful voice reached their ears.

"Old guys, I know that in everyone's hearts, they must be very confused and curious, why they suddenly saw each other, so they called everyone together and held a temporary Politburo meeting. At the same time, in the process of greeting Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan today, why did I immediately stop the entire greeting activity after reading the list of materials reported by Comrade Liu Hua? At the same time, at the first time, the Central Guard Regiment was dispatched to impose martial law on the entire Yan'an, and then handed over the gifts sent by the readers...."Looking at the old partners with puzzled faces, the chairman took a deep puff of cigarette and said with a smile.

"Chairman, what happened, what is written in the list that Comrade Liu Hua gave you, so that Lao Mao, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, is so nervous after reading it...."Zhang Wentian, who has been his partner with the chairman for several years and has always admired the chairman very much, immediately showed a trace of doubt on his face, and hurriedly asked.

"Comrade Zhang Wentian, as for the specific reason, I will sell a pass for the time being, and then tell you all later. Now I have a question that I want our Comrade Chen Yun to answer... Comrade Chen Yun, you are our logistical steward, making us a rare economic talent. Of course, he is also an expert in intelligence, I think, you should know how much Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang political axe is about how much a year's financial revenue is...."The chairman shook his head at Zhang Wentian, who looked puzzled. Then, he said with a smile on his face to Chen Yun, who was sitting directly opposite him.

"Chairman, this question is not difficult for me. As for the annual economic income of the Kuomintang, I can say that they are all well understood. Now I will give you an introduction to the current financial revenue of the Kuomintang Central Committee. In order to increase military spending, the Kuomintang wantonly issued legal tender in China, which, coupled with the counterfeit currency issued by the Kuomintang itself, eventually led to a large amount of inflation in the Kuomintang region, and to a certain extent, it also affected the central financial revenue of the Kuomintang political axe. According to our statistics, the annual revenue of the Kuomintang Central Committee has dropped to less than 100 million yuan. Of course, I'm all measured in silver dollars. After all, the fiat currency issued by the Kuomintang is depreciating too quickly. In terms of these financial revenues, even the Kuomintang Central Army under Chiang Kai-shek could not meet 100 percent of the military expenditure, let alone other warlord troops. Chairman, you're not going to be fighting about the military spending of our Eighth Route Army again. Chen Yun opened his mouth and said..."Military spending? Hehe, just the little financial income that Chiang Kai-shek gets, even his Central Army can't feed, and he will give us this, the [***] Eighth Route Army that he wants to eliminate every night. What I want to say today is that today, Comrade Liu Hua, the commander of our Reading Division, sent us Chiang Kai-shek's financial income for one and a half years, that is, various finances worth 150 million silver dollars...."The chairman said with a smile on his face.

"What a fifteen million silver dollar finance, how is it possible... Chairman, you didn't lie to me. We have not yet used up the tens of millions of silver dollars that the reader sent us last time, and a large number of silver dollars have been exchanged for gold bars through various channels and deposited in Citibank in the United States as a reserve treasury for our party to issue in the future. Another 150 million was sent to us today, my mother, how much money does this have..."Chen Yun couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked in disbelief.

"Hehe, Comrade Chen Yun, this is absolutely true. There is absolutely nothing false about this 500 million silver dollars, all of them are real money and silver, and they are now stored in the logistics warehouse of the central station, and I have sent a guard regiment to patrol them day and night, and keep them under strict guard..."The chairman nodded, and under the stunned gaze of everyone, he said with a look of certainty..."150 million silver dollars, calculated according to the current military expenditure of 100,000 silver dollars a year for a main division... My mother, chairman, with so many silver dollars, you can afford to support a hundred main divisions for ten years..."Zhang Wentian replied: "Old guys, you know now, when I was at the city gate in the morning, why did I suddenly announce the order of martial law in the whole city. If this matter is spread out, let Chiang Kai-shek in Yucheng know. I don't know what kind of mistakes Chiang Kai-shek, who was taken aback, will do to us. Now the development and military strength of our Eighth Route Army have touched his bottom line. If we make any other moves, maybe this Chiang Kai-shek will do something that is very detrimental to our army..."The chairman nodded and said noncommittally.

"This Liu Hua is really generous, as soon as he makes a move, it is 150 million. I think that if nothing else, the reader must have reaped a lot of benefits in this Pingjin Campaign. Otherwise, according to Liu Hua's surname, he would definitely not come out with so much money. No, Lao Mao, I think we should call Comrade Liu Hua immediately and ask him well, in this Pingjin Campaign, in addition to hundreds of thousands of tons of various strategic materials, the reading division also seized other good things, we old guys, can we let Liu Hua this kid get through because of this 500 million finance..."Ren Bishi, secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, who had worked with Liu Hua for a period of time, said with a smile.

"Yes, I also understand this kid Zhang Hua, he is definitely a person who only takes advantage and does not suffer losses. Lao Mao, I also agreed to call Liu Hua and ask him to explain it well, the specific harvest of the reader in Pingjin and his party will give us a foundation in our hearts, but we can't be bought by the 150 million silver dollars that Liu Hua gave us..."The commander-in-chief also agreed with a smile on his face.

"Old guys, let's not discuss this issue now, let Enlai tell you what kind of good things are in the gift that Liu Hua gave us to the central government this time. However, I would like to state here that the content of today's meeting, a few of us old guys, must not spread it out, you must know that not only Yucheng but also the spies of the little devils are all pervasive and hated to join the army. In order to prevent them from pointing all the fingers at us, we must not leak this news..."The chairman waved his hand to stop Ren Bishi, who wanted to continue, and then said with a serious face.

"Yes, Chairman..." As he spoke, Vice Chairman Zhou took out the list of materials that had been prepared in his pocket, cleared his throat, and then said to several people in front of him: "Comrades, the great gift that Comrade Liu Hua sent us this time can be said to be a big surprise. First of all, in terms of capital, all the oceans and gold add up, a total of 150 million oceans, as the chairman has just said. In addition, there are a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings, the total number is a total of 3,248 pieces, if all these antique calligraphy and paintings are converted into the ocean, I believe, the total scale is definitely more than 150 million...."

"Enlai, don't sell it to us, hurry up and talk about the rest. The money that was given to us, we already have in mind. I see that in your hand, there are several lists of materials, hurry up, let's also open our eyes..."Just when Vice Chairman Zhou was still about to continue talking about this huge batch of funds. The commander-in-chief, who had been waiting impatiently, said anxiously..."Boss, it's your surname Ziyi." Okay, this time, I will inform you of all this batch of supplies in one go. However, I hope you can prick up your ears and hear clearly..."Vice Chairman Zhou smiled, nodded and continued.

"Comrades, in this batch of materials, in addition to a large amount of funds, there are also various materials in our Yan'an area, which are in short supply. Among them, two large trucks of all kinds of canned beef, all kinds of cigarettes that everyone particularly likes, a whole truckload. In addition, there are 20 tons of various medicines and medical equipment, a total of 10 large trucks. Of course, in the end, there is a large number of weapons and ammunition, according to statistics, these weapons and ammunition, if all of them are equipped with troops, can be equipped with a total of three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, and an air defense regiment. Vice Chairman Zhou said with a smile on his face.

"My mother, a whole division has to be equipped, quick, Enlai, tell me how many artillery pieces and shells Liu Hua sent this time...."The commander-in-chief, who was particularly loyal to weapons and ammunition, couldn't help but have his eyes shiny after hearing that he could equip a whole division of equipment, and hurriedly asked..."Boss, for this batch of weapons and ammunition, the remaining 40 trucks in the entire convoy brought by Liu Hua were almost all overloaded all the way. According to statistics, there are 5,000 brand-new Type 38 rifles, 350 crooked light machine guns, 50 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and 100 50-mm car-caliber grenadiers. In terms of heavy weapons, there are 36 81-mm mortars, 12 75-mm mountain guns, 12 75-mm field guns, and 12 70-mm infantry guns. As for the armament of the air defense regiment, it consisted of 24 anti-aircraft guns and 36 anti-aircraft machine guns. In addition, all weapons carry ammunition with five bases. According to the ammunition consumption of our army in peacetime battles, it is enough for a main division to take at least two years...."Vice Chairman Zhou said with an affirmative face.

Immediately, the entire conference room immediately resounded with everyone's sighs. Immediately afterwards, the commander-in-chief said with a smile on his face..."This Liu Hua is really generous enough, one shot is the equipment of a reorganized division, and it is also a reinforced division equipped according to the template of the Kuomintang Central Army's German Armament Division....Now, with these weapons and equipment, we no longer have to be afraid of the little devil's plane, and we will come to our central station again." When the time comes, as long as they dare to come, we will greet them well with anti-aircraft guns, so that they will not return...."

"Yes, because a large amount of equipment in the Central Guard Force is limited to the combat units on the front line. The head of our Central Guard Regiment shouted in front of me every day about the lack of equipment. This time, not only is it fully equipped, but the Central Guard Regiment can also be expanded into a Central Guard Division. More importantly, we also have an air defense regiment in the Central Committee, and we are no longer afraid of bombing by little devils..."Chen Yun, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee who is in charge of the security work in the base areas, agreed with a smile on his face.

"Chairman, this Liu Hua, once the surname is so generous, if nothing else, it is really like what Comrade Ren Bishi just said, in this battle of the Reading Division's march into Pingjin, Liu Hua must have captured a lot of loot that we don't know. Therefore, I resolutely agree with Comrade Ren Bishi's opinion, call Liu Hua, this kid, in, and explain all the results he has achieved in front of a few of our old guys...."The commander-in-chief changed his words and said with a smile on his face to the chairman....

"Enlai, what do you have any opinions..."Seeing that the commander-in-chief beside him also asked Liu Hua to attend the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, a smile immediately appeared on the chairman's face. Because, in the eyes of the chairman, letting Liu Hua attend the Politburo meeting as an observer is what he thinks in his heart. After all, in the near future, Liu Hua, who he focused on cultivating, will enter the Politburo sooner or later, so that he can familiarize himself with this environment in advance, and at the same time, he can also expand the contacts between Liu Hua and several other comrades in the Politburo... Thinking of this, the chairman cast a satisfied look at Vice Chairman Zhou beside him, and then asked.

"Chairman, since everyone has agreed to let Comrade Liu Hua attend our Politburo meeting as an observer, then I have nothing to say. In addition, we can also call Comrade Luo Ronghuan, after all, Lao Luo is also a very old comrade in our team. At the same time, after letting them attend the meeting as observers, let the two of them give a specific briefing to a few of us about the specific course and results of the Pingjin Campaign..."Looking at the chairman's smiling eyes, Vice Chairman Zhou said thoughtfully.

"Well, since everyone agrees, I don't have any objections. It just so happened that the two comrades, Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, lived in the room we arranged for them, and they could come in five minutes at most... Secretary Wang immediately informed Liu Hua, the division commander of the reading division, and Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar, to come to the conference room immediately and attend the Politburo meeting as observers. Let the two of them hurry up, don't keep us old fellows waiting too long...."The chairman replied with a smile and a nod. Then, he shouted an order to the secretary general who was guarding the door....
