Yan Xishan seemed to see a treasure, and his eyes lit up and asked, "Tell me quickly, what is it?" ”

Qian Yifeng said, "It's not as happy as before, there are more rules, there are more things that can't be done, and there are also democratic elections, to be honest, it's much more tired than before, and the soldiers often ask questions, many of which I don't understand, so I can only continue to ask, and now being a company commander is not better than before." ”

Yan Xishan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, is this a sad thing, it just means that the soldiers are starting to think, Yan Xishan asked again, "What are you becoming a soldier for now?" ”

Qian Yifeng immediately stood up and said, "In order for our children to live in a peaceful environment, we can let our children live in a rich and powerful country." ”

Yan Xishan ignored him anymore and walked silently, Qian Yifeng didn't know if he had said something wrong, and he didn't dare to ask, seeing that Yan Xishan no longer ignored himself, he left by himself, Yang Aiyuan caught up with Yan Xishan and asked, "Sir, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yan Xishan sighed, "The heart of the army has been decided, there is no more Jin Sui army, you will remember in the future, you can hold a group, but don't move your thoughts, the people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead." ”

Looking at the people who were dressed in shabby clothes, but their faces were full of smiles and confidence, looking at the dazzling array of goods in the shops, and looking at the public stores and Guanghua stores that had opened, Yang Aiyuan understood something, sighed, and followed behind Yan Xishan, walking slowly.

-- Nanjing

Wang Jingwei has never appeared in front of everyone since the ceremony of returning the capital to Nanjing, and today is the first appearance in front of the public after Wang Jingwei was injured.

"Will you still memorize the manuscript? Tell me what to do later? Chen Bijun didn't know how many times he asked.

"Go on stage, bow, laugh, talk about the script, be spirited. Then go straight away, don't answer the questions, and then you can eat sugar candy, right? I haven't eaten sugar candy in two days. Wang Jingwei pulled Chen Bijun's arm and shook it like a child.

Chen Bijun felt uncomfortable, holding Wang Jingwei's head with one hand, stroking his back with the other and saying, "Yes, you are the best, I know I have always known that you are better than anyone else, okay, be careful." ”

Chen Bijun finished speaking. After tidying up Wang Jingwei's appearance, he let him go behind the scenes, and saw Wang Jingwei, who was healthy and red-faced, all the reporters went crazy and pressed the shutter, the flash made Wang Jingwei shrink in fright, and looked back at Chen Bijun, Chen Bijun hurriedly made a forward movement with both hands, and Wang Jingwei walked forward again. He bowed to the audience. He began to say, "Recently, there have been a lot of rumors that I am dead, that I am stupid, and that I am not lightly ill. You see, I seem to be in trouble? As he spoke, Wang Jingwei shook his sleeves and didn't wait for the reporter to talk. continued, "This is all slander from Chongqing, and I tell you, I'm very good. Not only am I very good, but our new Nanjing government is very good, and the Republic of China under the leadership of our new Nanjing government is also very good, and everyone can see that our Japanese friends did not continue to go to war, and this is all because of our peace talks."

Looking at Wang Jingwei's speech, Zhongxi Gong said to Chen Bijun with admiration: "I didn't expect Mr. Chen, you can train Mr. Wang so well, I really don't see any problems." ”

Chen Bijun's nervous hands were about to turn red, and no one knew how much she had paid for today. She said excitedly, "Wang Gong is already excellent, and I think his illness is getting better." ”

Nakanishi was noncommittal, and changed the subject and said, "Tokyo is very satisfied with your work in the past few months, and the recruitment of new recruits is going well, but the collection of military funds is still too slow, and there is not enough money, even if the Imperial Army wants to help you, it will be difficult to do it." ”

Chen Bijun patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, Zhongxijun, the military materials we said will definitely be delivered." But when will the Imperial Army help us eliminate Chongqing and the Red Party? ”

Zhongxi Gong looked at the north with a smile and said, "According to our agreement, we will provide instructors and weapons, as long as we train in strict accordance with our requirements for half a year, your troops can have stronger combat effectiveness than Chongqing, please wait patiently, but the premise of all this is money." ”

Chen Bijun gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, for the sake of the Republic of China, for peace, for the friendship between us, and for the sake of Wang Gong, we will make up the money even if we dig three feet into the ground." ”

Nakanishi nodded with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking about.

-- Hangzhou

As the saying goes, "There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below." Hangzhou as the provincial capital of Zhejiang, from the Sui and Tang dynasties is the richest place in the world, the economy is prosperous here, textile, printing, winemaking, paper industry are more developed, in the Republic of China 15 years, there are hundreds of silk and satin factories here, tens of thousands of looms, other factories are also countless, there are more than 430 tin foil industry alone, it was very prosperous.

At this time, Hangzhou was in a lot of ruins, and countless wealthy merchants and literati fled here, and most of those who stayed here were poor people who had assets that could not be taken off or were penniless. Since the Nanjing government opened the China Reserve Bank here and forced the exchange of currency, Hangzhou's economy has become increasingly depressed.

In a teahouse in Hangzhou, the doors and windows are closed, and dozens of middle-aged and elderly people sit together, discussing something.

"Now the start-up rate of our silk industry is less than 30%, there is no one below to raise silkworms, and the price of silk above cannot be sold, what can we do if it goes on like this?"

"You guys still had an output of 300,000 or 400,000 horses last year, look at our pharmacy, what did the Japanese say they were afraid that the medicine would be taken away by Chongqing and the New Fourth Army, so they forbade us to sell medicine, and confiscated all the standing medicines for knife wounds, inflammation, and colds. What are we going to do? The Minsheng Pharmacy in Beicheng probably offended the Japanese and was copied directly, hey"

"Our rice shop is the same, saying that it is military supplies, and it is not allowed to buy and sell, but can only buy and sell coarse grains such as millet, and all the fine grains must be sold to them, and the price they offer is not even half of the market price, isn't this a naked robbery?"

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Everyone was shaking their heads and sighing, but they couldn't do anything about it.

At this time, a young man walked in and said, "Everyone, Nanjing has just issued another order. ”

Everyone hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?" "Is there any good news?"

The young man shook his head and said, "Nanjing announced the establishment of a national commercial control committee, and a total of 376 kinds of materials, from rubber, steel, oil, coal, and ore to rice, wheat, cloth, silk, and paper, have been declared to be controlled products, and free trade is not allowed in the whole country, and manufacturers must produce in accordance with regulations." It also ordered that only their coins should be used, and that those who possessed fiat money would be imprisoned or killed, and that Japanese was declared a second language after Chinese, and that all schools were required to offer Japanese language courses. ”

"Is this still enough? We don't have to do any business, we all work for them!! A businessman shouted with red eyes.

"That is, at their price, will they give us a profit? I'm afraid it wouldn't be bad if I didn't starve to death, right? ”

"We also made it mandatory to start work and held Japanese language classes. Second language? Wang Jingwei is still shameless? ”

The young man took a sip of water and said, "It's not over, Nanjing also announced an opium monopoly, which only allowed the official opium trade in the government, and also encouraged the opening of theaters, teahouses, brothels, restaurants, and casinos. ”

An old man with a white beard snorted angrily: "I have never heard of such a shameless thing since ancient times. Wang Jingwei really lived up to our original expectations and the teachings of the former premier. ”

The others shook their heads and sighed, not knowing what to say.

The young man snorted, "Wang Jingwei is a traitor, he has now sent Tan Shugui to be our mayor of Hangzhou, this person is also the same greedy and lustful mediocre person, and he is also a dog of the Japanese." ”

"I really envy the few old brothers who retreated to Chongqing and Yan'an. It's a little bitter, but at least it's not aggrieved, isn't it? A middle-aged man shook his head and said.

The old man with white hair stood up and said, "We can't just sit still, we must let Wang Jingwei and the Japanese know that we will not give in." We can't hit the hard one, but we can still come to the soft one, and then contact Chongqing. Let's see if we can support us, our money is to be given, and we have to give it to those who are willing to fight devils. ”

"Yes!" "That's right!"

The puppet government of Nanjing in order to raise money. With the support of the Japanese army, a new round of economic plundering began, and such plundering really gained a lot of wealth, the puppet army quickly expanded, and Japan also got a lot of benefits from it, and for a time, the argument that the Chinese should deal with the Chinese was very popular among the Japanese army.

-- Moscow, Soviet Union

"This is the case with the movement of the Japanese army, it can be said that the plan of the Japanese army to go north has been finalized, but they seem to be waiting for something." Stalin listened to Beria's introduction, took a puff of cigarette and said: "How many troops do we have in the Far East now?" ”

Voroshilov, who was next to him, said: "We now have about 200,000 people in the Far East, including 7 armored brigades and about 400 aircraft, but most of the planes are relatively old, and there is a certain gap between them and the cutting-edge aircraft of the Japanese army. ”

Stalin shook his head and said, "There are too few people, double them by June, and once the Japanese attack, we will gather 250,000 men to the front line in a week, and besides, let Zhukov return to Moscow from China, and I will transfer him to the Far East." He had been in China for so long and must have had some idea of how to deal with the Japanese. ”

Where did Voroshilov dare to doubt Stalin's decision, nodded in agreement.

Beria asked: "Comrade Stalin, do you need to stop the work of suppressing the rebellion in the Far East?" ”

Stalin frowned and said, "The more critical the moment, the more the enemy's rats will be dispatched, and at this time not only can not be stopped, but strengthened." It was absolutely necessary to purge Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Yaquir, Tukhachevsky, Bukharin, and other spies, murderers, and assassins from the Soviet organization. It is necessary to properly implement the instructions of the central authorities. ”

Beria saluted in understanding, and Stalin looked at the map and kept chanting "Germany, Japan, Poland"

-- London

Under the flashing lights, the two hands were tightly clasped together, and a new document was signed, Polish Foreign Minister Beccoral and Chamberlain smiled at each other, this document was the "British-Polish Security Guarantee Treaty", which made it clear that when Poland was invaded by Germany, Britain would immediately declare war with Germany, and on the contrary, if Germany declared war with Britain, Poland would attack the German rear.

This was a ploy devised by Chamberlain to get Germany to stop its chariots, believing that as long as it united with France and Poland, Germany would not dare to do anything excessive, but would deal with the Soviet Union as he expected.

"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, that I will then leave for Paris to conclude a treaty like this one." Becquerel said with a smile.

Chamberlain hugged him and said, "Go with peace of mind, Europe is peaceful, it is, and it will be." ”

-- Berlin

Unlike the cheers in London, Hitler was extremely angry at this time, knowing that Poland expressed its support for Germany from the "German-Austrian merger" to the "Sudetenland" that dismantled Czechoslovakia. At the same time, Poland also followed Germany's example of threatening other countries with force, not only sending troops to Lithuania and forcing the latter to recognize the territory of Vilno Poland, but also negotiated with Germany to obtain a piece of Czechoslovakia's territory from Germany's mouth, Hitler felt that he and Poland should be on the same front, and Hitler's hospitality to Poland was precisely to obtain Danzig and the Corridor area through exchange and negotiation, which was located between Germany and had the tendency to divide Germany, which had always been a major problem for Hitler. As a result, at the diplomatic conference last week, Hitler proposed that Poland join the "Anti-Red International Pact" to form a united front, and promised to give Poland future territories to northern Ukraine, and to extend the German-Polish Pact for 25 years as compensation in exchange for the right to build a highway between Danzig and the Corridor to connect Germany.

Hitler thought that he had done his best to be benevolent, but he did not expect to be forcefully rejected, and Poland immediately took the chariot of Britain and France, which was tantamount to betrayal in Hitler's eyes.

"Damned Poles, damned Shmigvi, who not only rejected our kindness, but also came together with England and France to blockade us, did they naively think that our great German revival would be interrupted by such a weak force? Amusing! Ridiculous!! Hitler said anxiously, and the surrounding Himmler, Hess and others looked at Hitler with a look of resentment.

"My Führer, what shall we do?" Himmler asked, looking down.

Hitler waved his hand and said, "Immediately draw up a plan to attack Poland, we are ready for war, Britain and France are going to force us to the gallows and strangle us, we must not submit to such a fate, in addition, as long as Poland and France sign an agreement, they will immediately announce the abrogation of the "German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact", since they want war, we will give them war!!
