Chapter 578: Xi'an Conference (I)

In a building in New York, He Ankang was processing paperwork, Jiang Tian walked in, He Ankang saw Jiang Tian, got up and said, "Why is Apostle Jiang here?" ”

Jiang Cheng has begun to establish overseas forces with the help of several tycoons in Shanghai until now, and various departments have also taken the names several times, because of the last financial attack on Japan, the intelligence departments of all countries in the world have begun to strengthen the peep into Jiang Cheng's forces, and under Jiang Tian's proposal, Jiang Cheng's forces have been redivided and named. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to prevent other countries from discovering that this force is actually a force controlled by the Chinese, they still use the name of the Sage Society with Western colors, as the decision-making level is called the Twelve Apostles, including Jiang Tian, Jiang Yu, Situ Meitang, Zhang Ye, Chen Nan and others are at this level, originally Jiang Tian and Jiang Yu as newcomers are very difficult to convince the public, but after Jiang Tian easily led Hoover and other US intelligence chasers astray, Jiang Yu earned 10 million US dollars in just ten days on the US stock market, No one dared to oppose it anymore.

According to their functions, each department is divided into a security department: the Brotherhood, the scientific research department: the Wizards Association, the economic department: the Twelve Star Palace, the intelligence department: the dark department, the dark part is the Seraphic Angel and the Fallen Angel, and there is a special assassination division directly under it, called the Seven Deadly Sins.

Jiang Tian said to He Ankang: "I just got some important news, and the US intelligence department seems to be brewing some conspiracy. I think it should be reported to the owner."

He Ankang asked, "Is it aimed at us?" ”

Jiang Tian shook his head and said, "No, but I think this matter must be very important, and I am going to activate a few high-level angels to investigate this matter." ”

He Ankang nodded and said, "Okay, now is a sensitive period, everything is careful." ”

-- Yan'an

"Gibraltar has fallen?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "How did you fall in?" What happened to the H Fleet in the Strait of Gibraltar? ”

Jiang Cheng, who had just delivered another batch of supplies, got an unexpected and reasonable news as soon as he got home.

Gibraltar has been under siege for a month, so many planes and artillery bombardment, especially a week ago, the two Dora cannons were finally installed, and the first salvo almost pierced the top of the fortress of Gibraltar, so frightened that the British troops in the fortress were about to pee.

Due to the removal of anti-aircraft fire such as anti-aircraft guns, although the H fleet was supplied with some aircraft, it was not at all a match for the Axis air group, and after a whole day of continuous fighting, Gibraltar returned to a state of complete loss of air supremacy, and then the British defenders understood that it could no longer hold here.

The British army immediately sent a telegram to London asking for permission to retreat under extreme circumstances, and after Churchill got the news, he immediately held a meeting to analyze, and finally felt that anyway, Germany now put the main force in the Soviet Union, Britain has more than enough self-preservation, and the importance of Gibraltar has begun to decrease, but if the H fleet is folded, it will be more than worth the loss, and the most important point is that the defenders can't hold it, and there is no way to rescue, so what can be done except to retreat and retain a little vitality and wait for another battle? Anyway, by now the British army is used to losing.

"In the end, the British army still kept the battleship, and the H fleet turned all to the Mediterranean, and fought with the Italian army in the Mediterranean, and the British army in Egypt also came to the rescue, and finally the main ships of the H fleet arrived in Egypt safely, because of this incident, Hitler almost didn't scold Italy to death." Li Qian took the information and handed it to Jiang Cheng and said.

Li Qian also unconsciously knew the world situation.

"Well, Hitler was actually quite tired.... I think his original idea was to encircle and annihilate the H fleet, right? However, they finally occupied Gibraltar, and half of Britain's Mediterranean encirclement had been broken, and as for the H fleet, they could completely bypass Africa and return to the Atlantic Ocean after they arrived in Egypt, what is this..."Jiang Cheng shook his head, half of the results of the naval battle in the East Atlantic were lost, but now Britain has no way to directly connect the British mainland and Asia through the Mediterranean, Hitler should feel better when he thinks about it like this.

Yu Yishan came in at this time and saw Jiang Cheng, and said happily, "Brother Cheng, you're back, by the way, the chairman sent someone yesterday to say that you came back, so I asked you to go to him." I should have been in a hurry to hear it, and Xiao Wang, who came to report the news, was a little excited. ”

Jiang Cheng nodded, pulled Li Qian without delay, and went to the chairman's residence.

When the chairman saw Jiang Cheng coming, he immediately smiled and said, "Coming?" There's good news, and I can't wait to tell you about it. ”

Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "What's the good news?" ”

It can be seen that the chairman is indeed very excited, and his hands are still shaking, and he said, "You know what? On May 29, 1942, just yesterday, we finally produced our first airplane! This is the first one! Although it hasn't been through multiple test flights yet, I... We've finally done it! ”

Speaking, the chairman's eyes turned red, people who have not experienced this period will not understand how much China has suffered in this era because it does not have its own powerful industry, it cannot produce tanks, it cannot produce artillery, it cannot produce aircraft, the enemy army can only fight with teeth and fists, and now it still relies on the old foundation left over from the Beiyang period of the Qing Dynasty, but now, everything is changing, when the chairman thinks that the Chinese have their own planes, their own tanks and even their own warships to protect their country and nation, The excitement made his whole body tremble.

In fact, during the Republic of China, it was not impossible to make self-made aircraft, Zhang Zuolin in the northeast had an aircraft factory, and the government of Chiang had several aircraft factories, for example, there was an aircraft factory with a maximum of 100 people in Shanghai, which could produce training aircraft, and the aircraft repair plant in Guangzhou could produce light bombers. Most of them are reconnaissance planes and trainer planes that cannot fight.

Now, although Jiang Cheng still provided the engine and some parts from later generations, most of the other materials and parts are produced in the three major border regions, and the aircraft produced is an advanced aircraft such as the MiG-3, so it is no wonder that the chairman is so excited.

"Chairman, this is really good news, but we can't be too excited, when we can really solve the engine problem, we can be really happy." Jiang Cheng can't forget that China in later generations suffered for decades because of the engine, even in the modern time and space where Jiang Cheng is located, the engine has just been solved, but there is still a long way to go.

The chairman nodded and said, "That's true, but it's a happy event after all, by the way, Jiang is preparing to hold a conference in Xi'an, let's go too, have you received it?" ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I did receive a telegram from Chiang Ching-kuo, but he didn't say that he wanted me to go, but he also told me about this meeting, it is said that this meeting will discuss a lot of things, I think it should be for the possibility of the Japanese army going south." ”

The chairman snorted and said, "I also think so, I have asked Vice Chairman Zhou to participate on behalf of our party, and Yan Xishan has sent Sun Chu to represent Shanxi, calculate the time, they should be almost there." ”

-- Xi'an

At this time, Xi'an was called "the rear of the front, the front of the rear", there was originally a Japanese attack, but since Shanxi was recovered by Yan'an, the Japanese army has never invaded here, but the interesting thing is that in this case, Xi'an has hoarded more than 400,000 people in four group armies, and in contrast, the guard troops in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area are much weaker than the next.

Zhou Guansheng and Sun Chu came to Xi'an by car together, looking at the streets of Xi'an, Zhou Guansheng couldn't help sighing.

"Why did Zhou Gong sigh?" Sun Chu asked, due to Yan Xishan's persuasion, Sun Chu also accepted the new situation of being led by the Red Party, Sun Chu was Yan Xishan's die-hard loyalist, because he was not Yan Xishan's henchman at the beginning, so Yan Xishan was both useful and defensive against him, and when there was a war, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief, and entrusted with important tasks; Once the matter is completed, it will be transferred to government affairs and seize its military power. This time Yan Xishan sent him to Xi'an, and specially asked him to set off with Zhou Guansheng, one is to show sincerity to the Red Party, and the other is to protect Sun Chu.

Zhou Guansheng said, "I just remembered the scene of the Xi'an Incident back then. I don't know what happened to General Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng. ”

Sun Chu naturally knew a lot about this matter, he nodded and said, "The chairman of the committee really can't be said to be without fault in this matter, after all, he was guilty back then, but in the end, the two generals did not see the light of day..."

Zhou Guansheng shook his hand and said, "Don't talk about it, this is Xi'an after all." ”

Jiang Intermediary was tidying up his clothes under the service of the maid at this time, Song Meiling walked over in a cheongsam after dressing up, looked at Jiang Intermediary and said, "Darling, you are in good spirits today." ”

Jiang Zhong smiled and said, "I just got the news that the British fortress of Gibraltar in the Mediterranean Sea has fallen, do you think I can be unhappy?" ”

Song Meiling didn't know much about this, but she knew how to make a man happy, and she smiled curiously and asked, "Isn't Britain a potential ally of ours?" They lost, so why should we be happy? ”

Jiang Zhong snorted, held Song Meiling's hand and said, "Once the Strait of Gibraltar is lost, Britain's control over Asia has been greatly reduced, and the Japanese have long coveted Southeast Asia, where can they endure it?" I think the time for the Japanese army to move south is getting closer and closer, and I recently asked Dai Li to increase the intelligence force of the Japanese army, hoping to get some good news.

In addition, the United States probably also sensed the approach of the Japanese army's southward footsteps, and Ziwen just received news that the United States has promised to give us an additional $500 million in special loans, and with these, we can order a large number of American-style weapons. ”

Song Meiling suddenly smiled and said, "No wonder Darling is so happy, it is indeed gratifying." Ziwen didn't embarrass Darling in the United States. ”

Chen Bui walked in at this time and said to Jiang Zhong, "Chairman of the committee, the meeting will start in half an hour, and we should be ready to go." ”

Jiang Zhong nodded, took Song Meiling's hand and walked out together.

On June 1, 1942, the Xi'an Conference began, and the meeting was divided into two sessions, the theme of the morning was the Food Policy Conference, and the afternoon theme was the Military and Political Conference.

The level of Jiang Agent's speech is still good, after all, all the way to today, the whole situation always makes people feel that as long as they work hard, it will be bright.

"It just so happens that in the past few days, the rain is timely, the crops are thriving everywhere, and this year's grain output will inevitably increase. Not only that, but yesterday we received a loan of $500 million from the United States, which can be described as human help, but it is not enough to have heavenly help and human help, we also have to help ourselves! Jiang Zhong looked at the people below and said, "This year is an extremely important year, the world pattern has undergone tremendous changes, the Soviet Union and Germany have started a war, Japan's economy has been hit hard by the United States, the war between the United States and Japan can also be expected to occur in the near future, and we China will become the most important country in Asia and Japan confrontation, the ancients said well, the soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass first, if the province is delayed!" That must be severely punished!! ”

After speaking, Jiang Zheng glanced at everyone and continued, "Next, Minister Kong Xiangxi will arrange this year's tax work. ”

Kong Xiangxi stood up and said, "Colleagues, this year's tax work is now arranged, this year's annual quota is 33.34 million city stones, the purchase quota is 31.7 million city stones, and the distribution of the quota for each province is as follows: Sichuan Province, 15 million city stones; Anhui Province, 2.3 million city stones; Guangdong Province, 1.8 million city stones; Henan Province, 4.2 million city stones...."

Everyone below is worried, these quotas have to be completed, but it is really not easy.

Kong Xiangxi smiled and said, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

Li Peiji timidly got up and said, "Henan has recently encountered a bit of a famine, can it be reduced as appropriate?" ”

In the event of a famine, it can be said that tax reduction and exemption are a common thing, so other people do not feel that it is wrong, but are happy to see a bird.

Kong Xiangxi glanced at Jiang Intermediary and said, "This... What famine? Is it serious? ”

Li Peiji doesn't know whether to say serious or not, when did it start to be serious, and he is not suspected of dereliction of duty? If it's not serious, it is also a fatal matter if the grain collection cannot be completed. In the end, he said, "There was a flood last year, and there is a drought this year, which is still quite serious. ”

Jiang Intermediary saw Li Peiji's hesitation, and said with a wide range of eyes, "There is no shame at all, no personality at all, it is just nonsense." I know that the whole province of Henan has a good harvest, and you say that there is a drought! ”

This sentence frightened Li Peiji into sitting in his position and never dared to speak again.

Jiang intermediary knows the temperament of these people under him, if he gives them an opening, he won't be able to collect a penny, but in the end, he will still go to the people according to the number just reported, and finally fill his own pockets, he has seen a lot of this work back then.

Jiang Zhong snorted: "Our government is really benevolent to the people, and if it even disagrees with the demand for grain collection at this point, it will be too self-helping."

Not only is the government intolerant of such people, but the whole society should also beat the drum and be ashamed to be together! ”

"Huh" Everyone looked at Li Peiji, who had his head down.

Jiang Zhong continued to say to government officials in various places: "It has been five years since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the government has not abolished market transactions for the people's surplus grain, and within the legal scope, it is still allowed to buy and sell freely, and it is still very humble to solicit opinions from the local authorities regarding the method of expropriation and requisition. After speaking, Jiang Zhong took a deep breath and felt extremely good, and at this time, he couldn't help but flash four big words in his mind - "The King of Benevolence and Righteousness!" ”
