In order to keep that batch of arms and resist Kang Ze's infiltration of Jizhong, Zheng Huzi and Chief of Staff Zhou discussed for most of the night and did not fall asleep until dawn. But as soon as he fell asleep, the telegraph on duty suddenly knocked on the door and woke him up, saying that there was an emergency call and Zheng Weiguo had to answer it in person.

Zheng Weiguo saw that the sky was getting brighter at this time, so he had to get up in a hurry again, and asked as he walked, "Who called?" ”

The telegraph operator replied: "Report to the headquarters, it's Deputy Commander Cheng." ”

As soon as Zheng Weiguo picked up the phone, he heard laughter inside, and said strangely: "Hey, Lao Cheng, what kind of happy event?" Look at you guys! ”

Political Commissar Cheng grabbed the phone and said with a smile: "You just pretend, and ask me about the good things you arranged yourself?" ”

Zheng Weiguo suddenly came to his senses and asked in surprise: "Is it that Zhengjin Bank has also succeeded?" ”

After Wen Bin and Wan Chun entered Tianjin, Zheng Weiguo handed over command to Feng Kun. For the sake of secrecy, the specific plan and time were not announced in advance, so Zheng Huzi did not know the specific situation of Lu Dao. It wasn't until Feng Kun covered Wen Bin and their withdrawal from Tianjin just now that he was busy sending a telegram to report that the operation was successful, and asked the Jizhong side to send troops to respond according to the plan.

Political Commissar Cheng closed his mouth happily, and said with a smile: "Commander, this time we are really famous, let me tell you, there are more than 5,000 catties of ...... in the ocean alone."

Zheng Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly interrupted: "So little? ”

A silver dollar is about a little more than 26 grams, and how much is more, if it is a silver dollar. More than 5,000 catties, even excluding the outer packaging, is less than 100,000 oceans. Although it is a very large amount, it is not a lot of money in Zheng Huzi's eyes. After all, he has 100,000 brothers. It's a lot of pressure!

Political Commissar Cheng smiled: "Commander, don't worry, I haven't finished yet!" Deliberately hanging Zheng Zheng's beard's appetite explained: "Wen Bin and they are too few people, and they can't bring too much at one time, so they can only pick up the gold belt first, and the extra silver dollars are ......."

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly said: "How much gold is there?" "According to the comparison of gold and silver at that time, one tael of gold was worth a hundred dollars of oceans, and it was indeed much more valuable.

Political Commissar Cheng said happily: "Guess! ”

Zheng Weiguo couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Old Cheng, how old are you?" Also play this! ”

Political Commissar Cheng smiled. said: "It's not much, it's just more than 3,000 catties." ”

Zheng Weiguo calculated in his heart that one tael of gold is worth a hundred oceans, and a pound of gold is a thousand oceans. If it is more than 3,000 catties, it will be more than 3 million oceans. A staggering fortune. But think again. Wrong! Zheng Huzi remembers clearly that the China United Reserve Bank established by the puppet regime in North China had a principal of 50 million oceans, most of which was deposited in Zhengjin Bank. More than 3 million seems like a lot. But it's less than one-tenth of what they do! What about the rest of the money?

Listening to Zheng Weiguo's crackling words, Political Commissar Cheng was also stunned, and muttered: "Is there really a principal of 50 million oceans?" ”

Zheng Weiguo replied with certainty: "There is absolutely no mistake, even if it is not all put in Zhengjin Bank, it will never be only more than 3 million, not to mention that Zhengjin Bank itself also has a very large cash flow." ”

Political Commissar Cheng was anxious and hurriedly said: "No! I'll have to send another telegram to ask the Minister of Culture and Tourism about them. Alas, it would be a pity if such a large sum of money was leaked. ”

Zheng Weiguo asked, "Wen Bin, are they evacuated now?" ”

Political Commissar Cheng said: "According to the Tianjin side, most of the members of the action team have withdrawn outside the city, and only a few are still finishing. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Then don't ask, it's important to withdraw quickly." Then he asked, "Have the receiving troops sent out?" ”

Political Commissar Cheng said: "The two reinforced companies are advancing covertly along both sides of the Daqing River and have now reached the outskirts of Tianjin. In addition, there is a fleet of three small motorboats that are also approaching Tianjin. ”

Zheng Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good!" There must be no lapses in personnel and materials. After a pause, he said, "If there is an accident, you must save the personnel first." ”

Political Commissar Cheng hurriedly said: "Commander, please rest assured, I will definitely go all out in this matter!" He asked tentatively: "Is there a change in Lixian?" I received news that a senior officer sent by the Military Commission had gone to see Chief of Staff Zhou in the middle of the night, and the two had a long secret talk. ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chief of Staff Zhou won't have problems." So he told the Military Commission about the covetousness of German arms as it was. Both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party regarded him as "half of their own people", and this was the situation in which Hebei and China worked together. Since it is cooperation, communication and mutual trust are necessary.

Political Commissar Cheng breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and asked again: "Didn't the chairman of that batch of arms committee promise to take only half of it?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said depressedly: "I regret it!" ”

Political Commissar Cheng immediately understood, and said excitedly: "Is that a large number?" Or is there something good that worries the chairman? ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "Maybe it's both, the chairman is the leader of a country, and a few boxes of grenades will definitely not be able to get into his eyes." ”

Political Commissar Cheng immediately became excited when he heard that there were so many supplies, but when he thought that Chang Kaishen was also going to cut meat, he felt distressed. Isn't fighting a war just fighting for supplies? So he hurriedly asked, "Commander, what are you going to do?" ”

Zheng Weiguo comforted: "Don't worry, I have already done this thing." For the sake of the overall situation, this batch of materials will definitely be distributed to the Military Commission, but how much is divided and how to divide it cannot be decided by them! ”

Political Commissar Cheng hurriedly expressed his support and said: "That's the reason, otherwise we're afraid that we won't even be able to get a bite of the soup." ”

In Wuhan, Chairman Chang Kaishen also got up early. Lin Wei, the director of the attendant room, saw the stitches and rushed to report after sorting out last night's information. Chang Kaishen was eating breakfast while leaning back on the chair and watching.

Song Xiaomei was a little unhappy, hugged Chang Kaishen from behind and said: "Darling, there is a famous saying in the West, whoever can't rest, won't work." ”

Chang Kaishen patted Song Xiaomei's hand lightly, and said gently: "I am Zhilu Daodi, but now I am too busy and have to work more." He pointed at Lin Wei and said, "Don't you see that Weiwen got up earlier?" ”

said. He picked up a piece of information about German supplies. In his negotiations with the Military Commission, Zheng Weiguo behaved very toughly, not only insisting on asking for the list, but also demanding the right to distribute the materials.

Chang Kaishen's face changed slightly after reading it, and he said angrily: "Hmph, this Zheng beard is too ignorant!" In vain, I worked hard to increase the establishment of two divisions for him. He asked Lin Wei again: "What do the Germans say?" ”

Lin Wei hurriedly said: "Major Heisenberg, who is in charge of escorting the supplies, said that if Chief Zheng Weiguo does not agree, he has no way to help us, because he must complete the deal with Chief Zheng. ”

As soon as the two Swede-flagged cargo ships arrived at the port of Yangon, Myanmar, they attracted the attention of the national government. According to the analysis of post-war literature, it is found that not only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military intervened. Even the two major spy organizations, the Central Unification and the Military Unification, were involved. Of course. At first, it was not malicious, and even the chairman of the committee was optimistic about the deal.

However, as the materials entered the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the quantity and specific equipment of the arms were gradually discovered, and the attitudes of the military and political parties changed rapidly. Among them, the strongest demand was Chen Cheng's Ministry of Military Affairs.

Chief Chen has his own reasons - the country is in danger here. Should important materials be uniformly deployed by the Ministry of Military Affairs? Is the place supposed to be subordinate to the center? Is it necessary to consider the whole situation from the perspective of the overall situation? Chief Chen also gave examples. For example, when a village is hit by a famine, most of the families have run out of food, but one family has too much food to eat.

"Definitely. The right to property is sacrosanct! Chief Chen knocked on the table and said sharply: "But at this critical moment, should you watch the people without food starve to death, or should they be uniformly deployed?" ”

Minister Chen's political opponent, Chief of Staff He, also rarely refuted, and agreed: "If a village is like this, let alone the whole country is facing life and death?" Since Chief Zheng prides himself on being a model soldier, he should hand over the excess arms to the central government, otherwise it is selfish and a warlord's act! ”

Since the high-level consensus was reached, the national government and the Military Commission quickly took action, and on the one hand, in the face of the news of the blockade of North China, on the other hand, they spent a lot of money to buy and sell the Germans who were escorting the supplies. So Zheng Weiguo still doesn't know what exactly Lu Dao sent. But what the Military Commission didn't expect was that Zheng Weiguo's attitude was surprisingly tough, and there was almost no room for negotiation. And the German side quickly changed their minds after hearing the news, because Zheng Weiguo did not give penicillin, they could not go back to pay the errand.

Chang Kaishen lost his temper for a while, and then wondered: "What did Zheng Huzi exchange for the two ships of munitions?" ”

Lin Wei said embarrassedly: "It's not known yet, but there are all kinds of signs that it seems to be a medicine." ”

Chang Kaishen thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "Medicine? Isn't what the army needs to be wounded? It's just that what kind of wound medicine is so valuable? ”

Lin Wei guessed: "Maybe it's similar to Qu's Baiyao!" ”

Chang Kaishen's eyes lit up and said, "Weiwen, doesn't that mean that we can also use this to exchange arms with the Germans?" ”

Lin Wei nodded and said, "It should be possible!" Chief Zheng is probably where to collect home remedies, how can he compare with the national government! ”

Chang Kaishen was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Okay, Weiwen, this matter will be handled by you personally, you must do it well!" He asked again: "Didn't Qu Huanzhang, the inventor of Qu's Baiyao, be taken to Chongqing to set up a pharmaceutical factory some time ago?" You should go to him right away. As long as things are done, the party-state will definitely not hesitate to reward. ”

Song Xiaomei interjected: "I think Mr. Qu can be the Minister of Health." ”

Chang Kaishen smiled: "What Madame said is extremely true! ”

Lin Wei glanced at Song Xiaomei in embarrassment and didn't dare to speak.

Song Xiaomei said with a smile: "Director Lin, is it about the secrets of the party and the state?" Then I'll avoid it. ”

Chang Kaishen had a rare moment of humor and quipped: "What to avoid, the party-state still wants to borrow you, the female Zhuge ? He said to Lin Wei again: "What's going on?" Weiwen, you don't have to be restrained, you might as well speak up! ”

Lin Wei said embarrassedly: "I heard that Minister Kong locked up Mr. Qu and ...... it."

Chang Kaishen and Song Xiaomei looked at each other and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Lin Wei didn't dare to tell the truth, and said in a smug voice: "The specific situation is not clear to the students, it is all hearsay, and the situation of Mr. Qu is not very good......

Chang Kaishen was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "Nonsense, Niang Xipi! Weiwen, you take a plane to Chongqing immediately, if Mr. Qu has any problems, you are the only one who asks! (To be continued......)
