Jiang Cheng whispered to Jiang Jingguo, "In order to hide people's eyes, what we advertise to the outside world is that a wealthy businessman from Nanyang has come and wants to support Yan'an to resist Japan, so don't miss it, in case the chairman knows, it will be difficult to explain."

Jiang Jingguo nodded, indicating that he understood.

The group got into the car and drove towards the outskirts of the city, Jiang Jingguo looked at the electric poles on the road, and couldn't help asking, "Is the power facilities in our border area very good?" ”

Zhou Guansheng, who was sitting next to Jiang Jingguo, said: "As of last month, every township in our border area has been electrified, and the village has been electrified, of course, most of the most important electrical appliances in the home are the electric lights, and the electricity bill is very expensive, and only schools and hospitals will light up the lights, we have let more than eighty percent of the children under the age of 14 in the border area study, I believe that by the end of 29 years, this level can reach 95%. ”

Jiang Jingguo gasped, this data is simply incredible, even in rich Jiangsu, there is no such infrastructure, and this is in the Yan'an area, which is known for its poverty.

Jiang Jingguo looked out the window, and suddenly found that the road he was driving on was not an ordinary dirt road, but a gray road, and the pedestrians on the side of the road could be seen from time to time, most of these passers-by were ruddy, and the people in the rear of the south were completely different, Jiang Jingguo couldn't help but feel excited, he would see a lot of interesting things.

Looking at the southwest, Jiang Jingguo laughed, and he didn't know what kind of expression the chairman would have when he knew that he was actually in Yan'an.

--Chongqing

"Ahh ”

Dai Li shook his head and said, "The New Fourth Army has been developing northward during this time, and it seems that the New Fourth Army has plans to merge with the Eighth Route Army, but the New Fourth Army has not squeezed out our troops like the Eighth Route Army, and most of their territory has been snatched from the Japanese army or joined voluntarily by civilian armed forces." ”

Jiang Zhong nodded and said, "If the convergence of the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army is successful, then a large area from Shandong to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi will be ****, what is the reason for them to go north?" ”

Dai Li said, "There is no reason, that is, where there are Japanese troops, there are them." ”

Jiang Zhong shook his head, pointed to Bai Chongxi and He Yingqin in front of him and said, "This is the world, okay, let's start acting according to the plan, I hope to see as soon as possible that there is no red party in Jiangnan." ”

- Poland

A train slowly moves west, and the train can be seen slowly loaded with ore and coal.

"There have been a lot more trains in Sood-Germany lately." A railroad worker said as he looked at the smoke of the train in the distance.

Another worker screwed the last screw and said, "It is said that Germany has exchanged such things as machine tools for Soviet ore." ”

Train after train after train, as if there was no end, and the volume of trade between the Soviet Union and Germany rose sharply this winter.

- Tokyo

"Welcome back, Ishihara-kun, Berlin has gained a lot, right?" Shunroku Hata stood outside the staff headquarters and greeted him.

Ishihara nodded, and said as he walked, "When I arrived in Berlin, I realized how far behind our imperial army is now?" Perhaps our navy can compete with Britain, France, the United States, and other countries in terms of the sophistication of warships, while our army is not even as well equipped as Germany's second-rate troops. ”

Hideki Tojo snorted, "So we must strengthen cooperation with Germany, this time our diplomacy has failed again, Germany and the Soviet Union have come together, according to the reliable information we have received, the volume of trade between Germany and the Soviet Union has increased rapidly in recent months, where did Germany get resources and minerals from the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union got machinery and equipment from Germany.... If only we could have these mechanical devices. ”

Shunroku Hata shook his head and said, "The equipment of our Imperial Japanese Army is not bad, and His Majesty has approved the development plan of our new weapons, and the major chaebols have arrived, so let's go in." ”

In the conference room, Japan's military enterprises such as Mitsubishi, Kawasaki, Fuji, and Panasonic sat on one side, while Ishihara and others sat on the other side.

Shunroku Hata looked at Ishihara, Ishihara nodded and said, "Gentlemen, the reason why I am so anxious to summon everyone to come to the meeting is mainly because of the important changes I found during my investigation in Europe, the military equipment of a country like Germany has far surpassed our empire in terms of both army and aircraft, therefore, the War Department has to put forward new requirements for you, from the most basic clothes, rifles, bullets to artillery, combat vehicles, and fighter planes, we have new requirements, and we must increase production." ”

The representative of Panasonic raised his hand and said, "This is not a problem, as long as you can invest enough money and experiment enough, there will always be a good product, but the problem is money."

The yen is constantly depreciating, which is good for our exports, but it is also becoming more expensive for some of the machinery and equipment and raw materials we need, so I hope that the military department can invest more money. ”

Ishihara looked at Shunroku Hata, and Shunroku Hata said, "Don't worry about the issue of funds, the empire is ready to issue new treasury bonds to support the research and development of this weapon, and the empire needs new chariots and new cannons to deal with the next battle, this time, General Ishihara also specially bought several of Germany's latest chariots from Germany, everyone can go out and have a look together." ”

Everyone walked out, only to see a few tanks slowly drove out, one is the No. 3 tank, and the other is a steamed bun tank, Jiang Cheng was unwilling to sell it to Ishihara Wan'er, Ishihara found a way to collude with several powers, and together they packaged and purchased the minimum number of tanks set by Jiang Cheng, after all, for these countries with their own production capacity, buying German tanks is mainly to imitate and research, this method is the most cost-effective for them, but the production process, no matter how you talk about it, Chen Nan did not speak, but said that it should be considered.

Pointing to the two tanks, Ishihara said, "We don't have the best German tank in front of us, but it is what I think is the most suitable for us, and I hope that in two years, such a tank will reach mass production." In addition, there are these new German-made weapons that I bought in Germany, and I hope that everyone will be able to master the production of these weapons as soon as possible.

A representative of the factory came out and said, "The rest is fine, but this tank needs a lot of steel, these automated weapons need a lot of ammunition, and the empire doesn't have such a lot of financial and material resources." ”

Ishihara squinted his eyes and looked to the south and said, "Don't worry about these problems, it is the responsibility of the imperial army to find resources, not yours, your responsibility is only one, master the production process of these new weapons as soon as possible, and prepare for the next big war." ”

——Yan'an Iron and Steel Plant

"See, see! What's more, it's all our newly built blast furnace, and that, called converter, is specially used for steelmaking, and there are not many big mines in our border area, so the steel plant is not as good as Shanxi. Ren Chi pointed to the blast furnace that was producing molten iron and said.

Jiang Jingguo said excitedly, "It's good, it's really good, I haven't seen such a big steel plant in our rear, this... Is this really in our China? Where did all this come from? ”

Ren Chi said, "We built it ourselves, the equipment was pulled from Taiyuan in the first Taiyuan battle, Chairman Yan at that time, that is, Yan Xishan, promised us all the equipment, and we all pulled it back, it was based on these foundations, plus the equipment we asked from the Soviet Union and overseas, it was built in this way, but the most important thing is the support of the people, to be honest, Boss Jiang, I am actually from overseas, I have never seen such a united place." ”

Jiang Jingguo smiled, he had been in the Soviet Union for a long time, and he knew how good the Red Party was at winning people's hearts.

Zhou Guansheng said, "Not only the steel factory, we also built our own arsenal in Yan'an, but what we are really proud of is that we have successfully reduced rents and interest rates, implemented the three-three system, and established an anti-Japanese democratic united front." We have also established systems such as compulsory education and medical insurance, and the construction of these systems is what we are most proud of. ”

Jiang Jingguo followed everyone to the school, and although he was dressed in shabby, everyone's eyes were full of desire to learn, which was difficult to see in other places.

Zhou Guansheng said: "I know that many people think that it is impossible for us to do well in China, some people say that our nation has inferior roots, some people say that thousands of years of feudal remnants, some people say that as long as they are officials, they want to be greedy, and they are only officials for money, but you don't do it, I don't do it, who will save our nation and country?" ”

Jiang Jingguo asked as he walked, "Mr. Zhou, in fact, I know that in Chongqing, the chairman of the committee is also trying to engage in your movements, and the chairman of the committee is very clear about what is good and what is bad, whether it is rent reduction and interest reduction or industrial construction, but why are they not as good as you?" ”

Zhou Guansheng thought for a while and said, "One is that although there are theoretical debates in our Red Party, what we have achieved is intra-party democracy, and the **** outside the party, so we can use our strength in one place, and our representatives are different, the Red Party represents the grassroots people, most of our party members are born in mud, whether they have a fighting passion for breaking the old rules, and your party is mainly based on elites, they are all born in the landlord class and the bourgeoisie, and they are vested interests, so they are naturally unwilling to reform and try new things, in fact.... If the reform succeeds and the pie gets bigger, they can get more, but too few people understand. ”

Jiang Jingguo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, just like the Qing government, if they really realized the constitutional monarchy back then, maybe they would still be the Qing Dynasty now." ”

Zhou Guansheng's eyes narrowed slightly when he listened, and he understood that there was another meaning in Jiang Jingguo's words.

Jiang Jingguo asked again, "Then Mr. Zhou, does the Red Party have any magic weapons?" Although I have been in the Soviet Union for many years, I still lack some theoretical study. ”

Zhou Guansheng said with a smile: "Chairman Mao said that party building, the united front and armed struggle are the three magic weapons of our party. ”

Jiang Jingguo asked, "What do you say?" ”

Zhou Guansheng said: "First, party building means that we must constantly strengthen the party's ideological, organizational, and work style building. People must continue to study, and the party is the same, in fact, construction is to sum up lessons and lessons, and every time we succeed or fail, we will sum up experience, from that wooden boat in the smoke and rain to today, we have changed a lot. We believe that only by building the party well, making the party's ideological and political line correct, and organizing a strong and powerful party can we have combat effectiveness and win the final victory.

Second, the united front, we have many enemies, and they are extremely strong, and our Chinese power in the international community is also very small, so we must win more people to join us. We believe that all those who want China to become rich and strong are in fact our friends and can become our comrades. Especially the vast masses of oppressed people, who are the source of our strength.

Thirdly, it is armed struggle, the enemy will not be defeated by books, but can be defeated by bullets, will the Japanese be defeated by a few Mazhe? No, it won't! We will reason with those who are reasonable, and we will use guns against those with guns. ”

Jiang Jingguo nodded and said, "I stayed in the Soviet Union, I understand." ”

Late at night, Jiang Jingguo stood in the courtyard and thought about it, the inspection of the past few days gave him a great impact, he never thought that Yan'an had developed to the point where it is today, whether it is the development of infrastructure or the establishment of rural power, he dare not imagine, he felt deep fear, he understood for the first time why Jiang intermediary would be so worried about the Yan'an Red Party, if he was also in that position, I am afraid that he would be even more afraid.

Jiang Cheng walked in from a distance and said, "How is it?" It's been a lot of fun these days, right? ”

Jiang Jingguo looked at Jiang Cheng, smiled and said, "Gu Quan, tell me, do you have a lot of business with Yan'an?" ”

Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Jingguo, and said after a long time, "There are a lot, you know, the Red Party has collected a lot of gold in the south, and after coming to the north, they have beaten local tyrants and obtained a lot of antiques, due to the blockade of the chairman and the Japanese army, they can't use the money at all, so I'll help them use it, and now I'm their biggest buyer." ”

Jiang Jingguo nodded and said, "Thank you, thank you for being honest." ”

Jiang Cheng sat on a stool in the courtyard, took out a small bottle of wine and threw it to Jiang Jingguo and said, "Try it, Erguotou, the momentum is not small." ”

Jiang Jingguo took it, it was a small glass bottle of liquor, he twisted it hard, sniffed it lightly and said, "Good wine, Gu Quan.... I was scared. ”

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Jingguo touched a cup and asked, "What are you afraid of?" ”

Jiang Jingguo said, "I suddenly don't know what I should do, you know? After returning home, I thought, the Japanese are coming, I am a soldier, I am a Chinese, I returned to China, I want to fight the Japanese, I found a way to form a youth army, I found a way to engage in a youth league, I also engaged in the new policy of Ganzhou, do you see, the new atmosphere of Ganzhou.... I thought that with my efforts, I would find a way to defeat the Japanese, but to this day, I also believe that I can lead the youth army to defeat the Japanese, but... But I'm not confident at all that I can beat the Reds, you know? I couldn't find the weakness of the Yan'an Red Party at all. ”

Jiang Cheng frowned and asked, "Defeated?" ”

Jiang Jingguo chuckled and said, "I am the son of Jiang Zhong, I know this matter better than anyone else, when I was arrested by Stalin in the Soviet Union and imprisoned in a labor camp, I understood that no matter what I do, I am in the Red Party, in the eyes of the world.... are just the sons of Jiang Mediation. ”
