Chapter 371: The goose plucks its feathers

--Rangoon

Wang Sheng came to Yangon happily, and sighed Jiang Cheng's righteousness while walking, you must know that Jiang Cheng let the youth army get the equipment quickly, but directly let him take a plane to Yangon, and Jiang Jingguo even sent a telegram to Chongqing in the hope that Chongqing would give convenience, Jiang Zheng saw Jiang Cheng so dedicated, naturally overjoyed, and thought about it and actually wrote a letter to Jiang Cheng, promising that as long as Jiang Cheng did his best, he would be promoted to major general at the end of this year. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info****** happily celebrated with Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng could only accept it with a dry smile.

Yangon is the capital of Burma, Burma was destroyed by the British as early as 1885, when the Qing Dynasty ordered the British Minister Zeng Jize to protest to the British, but the weak country has no diplomacy, the British government just allowed Burma to send the Qing Dynasty according to the usual practice of ten years of tribute, and completely incorporated Myanmar into the province of India.

At this time, after a long period of struggle, British dominance after World War I and economic crisis also declined a lot, so that the British agreed to the autonomy of Burma, but the ethnic conflict caused by the influx of Indians and the gradual awakening of national power made Burma sit on a powder keg, many Burmese have been looking for opportunities for independence, some of them put their hopes on the open-mindedness and benevolence of the British, and some of them set their eyes on their own guns.

Wang Sheng walked into an office building, where Chinese was spoken up and down, which was the office building of the Southwest Transportation Department.

Although Song Ziwen and Dai Li are in charge here, both of them have won and lost heavy responsibilities and lack skills, so the real person here is Kong Lingkan, who has been in office for less than a week.

Kong Lingkan looked at the letter of introduction in his hand and asked Lin Shiliang next to him, "When did such a large amount of arms come?" Or exclusive to the Youth Army? ”

Lin Shiliang is the former director of the Central Bank Affairs Section, this person can't do anything else, he is proficient in everything, he is proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and Kong Lingkan has the same smell, and was entrusted with important tasks by Kong Lingkan.

Lin Shiliang flipped through the record and said, "There is indeed such an armour, it has just arrived, it is from Germany, it is said that it was donated by patriotic businessmen, and I don't know who it is." ”

When Kong Lingkan heard this, he immediately touched his chin with interest and said, "Patriotic businessman? This is really rich and rich, so the old man doesn't know that there is such an armour? Jianfeng, this kid is really a treasure, and he earns more than I have been here for a year. No, it's all relatives, you can't be so stingy. Saying that, Kong Lingkan waved his hand and said, "Let Wang Sheng come in." ”

Wang Sheng had long heard of Kong Lingkan such a little demon king, but he thought to himself that he was ******'s henchman after all, and he didn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, Kong Lingkan should not embarrass himself, so he boldly said, "Director Kong, our commissioner is still waiting for this munition, and I also ask the director to make it convenient and arrange transportation matters as soon as possible." ”

Kong Lingkan said hehe, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, although Jianfeng and I haven't been in contact a few times, but after all, they are all relatives, his business is my business, um... But then again, when it comes to transportation, drivers need wages, cars cost gasoline, and road construction costs money and food. It's indispensable. ”

Wang Sheng said in this regard, "This is natural, I don't know how much money is needed, I immediately asked Ganzhou to prepare and pay off the transportation costs." ”

Kong Lingkan pointed to the note attached to the sign and said, "I have always been a sister-in-law in business, and I have marked the price on it, so take a look for yourself." ”

Wang Sheng hurriedly looked at it, and it was marked that it was 100 pounds for a ton of materials to be transported to China for private work, and 100 pounds for a cubic meter of materials to be transported to China.

Wang Sheng couldn't help but say, "One ton and one hundred??? This... It's too expensive, isn't it? And how can we count this as a private job, this is to transport ammunition supplies to the front line. ”

Kong Lingkan asked Lin Shiliang, "Anything that has not passed the Military Commission is considered private work, Shiliang, calculate, how much money do they have to prepare for Jianfeng?" ”

Lin Shiliang said with a smile, "I'll take a look, ah, most of this can't be calculated by weight, you see, this heavy machine gun needs a wooden box to pack, and the volume will go up." Fortunately, I want the form here to calculate directly, well... Including the ammunition, a total of 177,800 pounds was collected, and the fraction was 170,000 pounds. ”

"Why is it so expensive?" Wang Sheng said in disbelief, Kong Lingkan sighed and said, "This is not counting taxes and other expenses, you see, but also business tax, income tax, patriotic tax, revival tax, tolls, car maintenance fees, in addition to the deed tax registration fee, deed paper surcharge, deed paper additional construction fee, deed paper donation, deed paper foundation, public welfare donation from the supervisor, various official paper prices, white paper donations, administrative submission paper prices, ah, I'll calculate, well, get rid of the fraction, 300,000 pounds." ”

"Why don't you grab it?" Wang Sheng almost wanted to smash the table, what is the concept of this 300,000 pounds, the entire Chinese foreign exchange reserves are only more than 120 million pounds, and the personal savings of Jiang intermediary are only 4 million pounds, this 300,000 pounds is enough to arm an army, which is simply making Wang Sheng buy these weapons again.

Kong Lingkan waved his hand and said, "I said it all, this Jianfeng is my own person, how can my own people follow the original price, 200,000 pounds, I am in charge, and I will pay the rest out of my own pocket!" ”

Lin Shiliang suddenly said with tears in his eyes: "Director... You've sacrificed too much, I... I can't put it into words. ”

Kong Lingkan grabbed Lin Shiliang's hand and said, "It's all for the country, for the sake of resisting Japan, that, Wang Sheng, pay the money downstairs, go and pay it yourself, just take the bill and ask Director Lin to arrange it directly, don't come to me." ”

Wang Sheng couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Director Kong! This is the arms and ammunition used in the war, these are to be used to fight devils, you charge so much transportation fees, are you really not afraid that the above will lose the battle because of the lack of transportation, and you will be held responsible for checking it out? ”

Kong Lingkan stepped on the stool with one foot, pointed at Wang Sheng and shouted, "Wang Sheng! I'll give you some face, you really think I'm going to be polite to you, so I'll ask you, did these arms be purchased through the national government? No! That is to carry smuggled goods, according to the regulations, I can confiscate all these arms, I will give you a way now, let you transport, you are not grateful to me, and you still use Chongqing to pressure me, let me tell you, don't say that you are inexplicable arms, it is arms from the Soviet Union, those division commanders, the army commanders are not in my hands to pay the money, don't think about taking a bullet back. ”

Lin Shiliang rolled his eyes, pulled Wang Sheng and walked out and said, "Come on, come on, calm down, look at Director Kong's anger, isn't this all according to the rules, there is no way, you have to understand more, you can see for yourself, is everyone paying money." ”

Wang Sheng looked at it angrily, isn't it, the queue to pay the money is long outside, and there are not only literati and businessmen, but also soldiers and officials, which makes Wang Sheng's eyes opener.

Wang Sheng had no choice but to send a telegram back to Ganzhou to report the situation.

was recuperating, and was ready to participate in the battle after the heavy firepower arrived, but he didn't expect to get such a reply, ****** hurriedly sent a report to Kong Lingkan, hoping that Kong Lingkan could see his face and exempt or reduce the transportation fee.

Kong Lingkan looked at the telegram and said disdainfully, "****** he really treats himself as a dish?" If he hadn't had a good old man, who would have paid attention to him? No drop! Not a penny! ”

After getting the reply, he was angry and anxious, and he didn't want to ask the Song family for help, so he could only keep sending a telegram to Kong Lingkan, hoping that the communication would be successful, but in the end, the people around him couldn't stand it, so he directly sent a telegram to Chongqing in his name, and reported to Jiang Agent, Jiang Intermediary saw the telegram and transferred it directly to Kong Xiangxi. Only then did Kong Xiangxi know that his good son had been fighting Tai Chi with the prince for almost ten days.

Kong Xiangxi knew what Jiang meant, and hurriedly sent a telegram to Kong Lingkan, ordering him to be released, Kong Lingkan saw the telegram, and said to Lin Shiliang angrily, "Now my father sends a telegram asking me to let me go, I won't take the money, next time who knows who will send another telegram, so can we do this business?" ”

Lin Shiliang immediately came up with an idea and said, "Then we will collect less, meaning, so that we can give an explanation to Dean Kong and Chairman Jiang, and secondly, we will not lose face, even the chairman's son will have to pay the money, see who dares not to pay." ”

Kong Lingkan thought about it for a while, and said with great satisfaction with the advertising effect, "Okay, let's do it." ”

In this way, the ****** arms finally began to arrive at the country at a cost of 30,000 pounds sterling, but ****** did not have time to wait for the arms to begin, as the winter offensive officially began.

β€”β€”Chongqing, December 8, 28th year of the Republic of China

Jiang watched the time pass on the wall little by little, and soon it was almost five o'clock in the morning.

"Sit down, it's time." Bai Chongxi said next to Jiang Zhong.

Jiang Zhong nodded, turned around, and said to the entire staff headquarters and the communications officers, "Pass the orders of the military council!" The winter offensive has now begun, and all theaters must forge ahead bravely and serve the country to the death, so as to embody the national character of our Republic of China and the personality of the officers and men of the National Army! Exorcise the Wokos! Restore my China! ”

"Exorcise the pirates! Restore my China! ”

In the earth-shattering shouts, countless radio waves passed through the air and came to the headquarters of various theaters, Hebei, Suiyuan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan, Hubei, Guangzhou, Jiangxi, all the occupied areas or warring zones, launched a fierce counteroffensive at the same time, and the Japanese army suppressed the resentment of two years of fighting, as if they wanted to take advantage of this battle to completely return.

According to the statistics of later generations, on this day, the Nationalist Army took part in the battles of more than 100 divisions, numbering more than 1 million people, and fought 4,876 battles, fighting everywhere and killing everywhere in the entire Far Eastern battlefield, and this counteroffensive became the largest strategic cooperation between the Red and White parties, and the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army destroyed 3,900 kilometers of railways and highways in only one day and one night, and the areas occupied by the Japanese army were in chaos for a while.

- General Staff Headquarters in Tokyo

The new Minister of War, Shunroku Hatata, looked at the battle reports that flew like snowflakes, and felt as if he was being grabbed by a big hand around his neck, and staff officers kept coming to report the situation.

"Report, the North China Front Army called, the Eighth Route Army sent troops in the direction of Shijiazhuang, the offensive intensity is very strong, it should be the main force."

"Report, the North China Front Army called, the Eighth Route Army attacked our army everywhere in Hebei, and now the telephone lines of our army in Hebei have been almost completely cut off."

"Report, the Central China Front Army called, the National Army suddenly attacked the Kaifeng area, from the early morning to the present, our army has repelled seven enemy attacks."

"Report that the South China Front Army has received a telegram that last night the guerrillas and regular troops of the Nationalist Army suddenly attacked Chaozhou and Shantou, and because our warships were nearby, they came to help in time and temporarily repelled the enemy troops."

"Report, the Central China Front Army called, the Nationalist Army raided the Tai'an area of our army, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army blew up the city gate, Tai'an has been attacked into the city, and the first is fighting in the streets. Jinan and other places are coming to the rescue. ”

Shunroku Hata waved his hand violently and said, "That's enough!" ... Are there any war reports from Wuhan, Nanchang, Jiujiang and other places? ”

Immediately, someone said, "In the direction of Nanchang, a large number of Nationalist troops are attacking Fuzhou and Fengcheng, and in the direction of Wuhan, Nationalist troops are attacking Xinyang, and it seems that they want to cut off the railway line of our army." ”

Hata Junroku nodded and said, "This battle is the counterattack of the Chinese army, after the Battle of Shanxi and the Battle of Suiyuan, the Chinese army already thinks that it has enough ability to fight with the imperial army!" Joke!! Now that the Soviet Union and the empire have ceased war, it is a good time to solve the problem of China, and the South China Front was ordered to unite with the navy to repel the invading land, and at the same time ordered the Taiwan garrison army to prepare to attack Fujian.

Order the Central China Front to shrink the front and abandon the places that have no strategic value, which is the main direction of the offensive of the Nationalist Army, especially along the Yangtze River, and to elect Okamura Ningji, and absolutely not let the Nationalist Army cut the Yangtze River.

Ordered the North China Front Army to attack in the east and defend in the west, the Eighth Route Army is strong in combat and good at demagoguery, once they occupy it, it will be difficult for us to turn the place into a security area again, and at the same time order that if we find any place that cannot be defended, immediately find the local White Party people, announce the return of the place to the Nationalist Government, and absolutely not give the ruling power to the Red Party, Ishihara said, we can take back the place occupied by the White Party, and we can only kill all the local people in the place occupied by the Red Party..."

- Nanjing

Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun hugged each other tightly, looking at the light that flashed outside from time to time, Wang Jingwei didn't understand what was happening, but Chen Bijun knew that it was caused by the shelling, the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army had already hit the vicinity of Nanjing, and they didn't know where these mud legs got so many weapons and ammunition, and then thinking about the defeat of the Japanese army in Suiyuan again, Chen Bijun couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Knock knock" There was a knock on the door, Wang Jingwei was so frightened that he cried and screamed, "Who?" Who is it? ”

A deep Japanese voice came in, "Mr. Wang, I'm Nakanishi, please come out, there are some things to discuss." ”

Wang Jingwei looked at Chen Bijun nervously, but Chen Bijun shouted generously, "Okay, you wait, we'll come out immediately." After speaking, he helped Wang Jingwei get dressed, coaxed and deceived Wang Jingwei who was unhappy with a crooked mouth, and walked out of the door, Wang Jingwei's residence that the heavily armed Japanese army had controlled, Zhongxi Gong bowed his head and said, "The matter is urgent, please come with us."
