Chapter 236 Rescuing the Western Route Army
After leaving Yunnan, Yang Feng first went to Chongqing, he is now in Sichuan is like a Buddha of ten thousand families, the Sichuan famine that originally starved to death of more than 3 million people, so far only starved to death at the beginning of less than 100,000 people, that is to say, he saved three million lives, this number is even a profiteer is very fulfilling.
Although there is still no rain in Sichuan until now, in some places where conditions permit, because of the deep wells drilled by more than a dozen well drilling teams organized by Jinyuan Company, as well as the help of high-yield corn seeds, there is still a certain amount of grain output, and the pressure of disaster relief has begun to be greatly eased with the end of the autumn harvest.
Yang Feng only walked in a hurry in Chongqing, so far the Lockheed Chongqing branch has assembled thirty twin demons, and can produce more than one-third of the parts, these aircraft bald guys asked for twenty, and he only needs twenty for the time being, and the rest are all supplied to Beiping.
Although the output is not very large, it has trained a large number of excellent workers, and even the bald guys have been transferred from the aviation committee to learn from them, and among these people there are many famous aviation experts in the future, such as Zhu Jiaren, who built China's first helicopter, and is now an ordinary engineer here.
Wang Zhu was more familiar with him, and specially introduced Zhu Jiaren to Yang Feng.
"Is Major Zhu interested in staying in Chongqing to work?" Yang Feng shamelessly dug into the corner of the wall in front of Zhou Zhirou.
Zhu Jiaren looked at Zhou Zhirou, whose face was almost green, with some embarrassment, and then said: "Mr. Yang, contemptible people are soldiers, and they can only obey the arrangements of their superiors. ”
Zhou Zhirou's face immediately looked much better.
"Oops, what a pity." Yang Feng said with a casual smile, but Zhu Jiaren's appearance reminded him that he seemed to be able to engage in helicopters, and he didn't know that Sikorsky designed a helicopter with a tail rotor until 39 years, and he didn't know if he could get the patent for this design now.
But even if Sikorsky got a patent for the tail rotor design, it wouldn't matter. You can still do something like Chinoku! Speaking of which, the helicopter that Boss Yang admires the most is this kind of helicopter with a rotor in the front and rear.
In addition to the aircraft factory and then the tank factory, Yang Feng brought back 200 sets of engines and gearboxes this time, 100 sets were left in Beiping, and Wang Chuanming made them, this batch was used by Yang Feng himself, and the other 100 sets were on the way to be shipped. Produced here for skinheads.
Now the tank is still being tested in Nanjing, but it is basically completed, and it can be produced in small batches as soon as the engine arrives, so it is time to talk about the price.
"Thunder fighter 30,000 dollars a fighter, Tiger tank 15,000 dollars, don't discuss the price with me, this price is already very low, here is the performance data of the aircraft, as for the tank, there is no need to introduce extra." Yang Feng said to Zhou Zhirou.
This price is indeed very conscientious. Joseph's Yi 16 are 40,000 US dollars, T26 are more than 20,000 US dollars, pull these two weapons out and Thunder, the Tiger heads-up, that is designated to be the goods sent to death, although the purchasing power of the US dollar is slightly higher now, but this price is also very reasonable.
"The price is too high, and the Ministry of Defense can't afford to buy too much. Besides, this is also considered domestic, you can't be more expensive than imported, right? Zhou Zhirou said with a very embarrassed face. In fact, he also thinks that Yang Feng's price is quite reasonable, at this time, the planes and tanks sold by foreigners to China are all very cheap, of course, it would be best if they could be cheaper.
"Imports? Tell me which of the imported goods you buy can compare with these two? Yang Feng said with a look of disdain.
"Besides, I don't have to ask for foreign exchange, gold, or jewelry. Aren't all medicinal herbs possible! Haven't we traded in this way all these years? The thing went on to say.
Zhou Zhirou thought to herself, you don't want foreign exchange, but you don't want fiat currency either? Do you think gold jewelry is cheap? That thing is also reluctant to dig out! Although the herbs are cheap, the question is whether you want them to be cheap. A few years ago, you could rely on fundraising to subsidize it, but in the past few years, the people don't like to donate to the national government, and they have donated money to the Northeast Liberation Army.
"Brother Yang, the Ministry of Defense really can't afford to buy too much at such a high price, so let's have 20,000 planes and 10,000 tanks, and the first batch of the Ministry of Defense can purchase 300 planes and 200 tanks." Zhou Zhirou said sincerely.
"General Zhou, Brother Zhou, one engine of that plane costs tens of thousands! Even if the aluminum alloy alone is more than 10,000, you can't let me lose money, right? And the tank, let's not talk about the performance, just the weight, how much do you buy Vickers? That's a six-ton tank, and I'm a twelve-ton one. Yang Feng said dissatisfied.
"Brother Yang, you also have to be considerate of the difficulties of the chairman, such a big country uses money everywhere, hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line need to spend money to suppress bandits, it costs money to engage in infrastructure construction, and it costs money wherever there is a famine. Zhou Zhirou began to complain again.
"Brother Zhou, brother said something that shouldn't be said, what else can be suppressed by those rogues, the poor place in northern Shaanxi where birds don't, you just toss them, what flowers can you toss?" Yang Feng said dissatisfied.
"Brother Yang, you can't underestimate them, hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, and now they have even begun to attack Hexi, if they open up the Hexi Corridor, hook up with Sheng Shicai, and then rely on the Soviets, then I am afraid it will become a big problem again, and now even the chairman himself has flown to Xi'an to supervise the war." Zhou Zhirou said.
Yang Feng's brain was excited, he had too much fun during this time, and he actually forgot about the big thing, the West Route Army! As a member of the provincial political committee who was born under the red flag, grew up in New China, and was raised by the party and the state for decades, how can he sit back and watch these countless martyrs die in vain!
We must save them and let the red flag of revolution be planted on the soil of Xinjiang.
Also, the bald guy went to Xi'an, wouldn't that be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, no, then what is a tiger, at most a Laipi dog, poor Zhang Shaoshuai still has less than 50,000 people in his hands now, I don't know if he still has the courage to play the Northwest Defense Government.
"Where did they go?" This thing sighed for a moment Zhang Xiaotuo, who was about to go bankrupt by him, and then asked mysteriously in a low voice.
"I was just by Ma Bufang in Gulang, and it is said that thousands of people were killed, do you know where Gulang is?" Zhou Zhirou said.
"Isn't it right next to Wu Wei?" Yang Feng despised him, which meant that he was still in time, but it was not easy to say. They didn't last a few days.
"Where do you think they can hit?" The creature asked in a low voice.
"Where else are you going! The green horses are going crazy, this is stabbing them in the heart! Just 20,000 soldiers who are short of guns and ammunition, and still drag a large number of old and weak women and children, facing the red-eyed Huizi cavalry at the Gobi stall, isn't it clear that they are going to die? Ruthless! It's ruthless! Zhou Zhirou said.
Yang Feng didn't say anything more, but the price of the plane and tank was still not negotiated after all. Anyway, it will take some time for the official delivery, and then talk about it slowly, or you can find a win-win solution, after all, this thing needs to be sold in large quantities, although now the bald guy has more money than before, but hundreds of thousands of him can't afford to buy.
In a small building less than 100 meters away from Jinyuan Company in the Shanghai Public Concession, an agent of the Fuxing Society was using a June Fourth military telescope purchased from Jinyuan. Staring closely at the door of the security team's station, a dozen agents were sitting in the room behind him, and next to him was a sniper with an SVD.
There are more than a dozen such surveillance groups in this area, and the Fuxing Society has mobilized nearly 200 elite personnel to monitor all the entry and exit routes of the security team with the tacit consent of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau.
According to the agreement between Yang Feng and the Ministry of Industry, the security team was not allowed to carry weapons unless he himself went to Shanghai. In addition, those combat vehicles that are more likely to cause misunderstandings, armed jeeps are also not allowed to move casually. The soldiers of the security team can only walk out of the station without carrying weapons, which can be regarded as maintaining the face of those ghosts, and now this has become the biggest obstacle for Wang Yaqiao to leave.
The snipers of the Fuxing Society had already ordered that as long as Wang Yaqiao was found, whether he was inside the security team compound or outside. Kill them directly, of course, you can't accidentally injure the people of the security team, Boss Yang is very protective of calves.
Now a bunch of spies are drowsy! They have been staring here for more than a month, and they can be sure that Wang Yaqiao has not escaped, but they don't have the courage to go in and arrest people. The two sides confronted each other in this way, waiting for negotiations between their respective high-level leaders.
The observer rubbed his eyes, which had been looking at him for a long time, and the sniper was already asleep with his beloved gun, when he suddenly heard the roar of the engine from the opposite side, and the guy immediately exclaimed, "Get up, see what they are going to do?" ”
A group of spies crawled up and rushed to the window, and even the snipers rolled over and jumped up, setting up their sniper rifles as fast as they could.
The roar grew louder and louder, and then the tremor of the ground was clearly transmitted to the feet.
"It's their chariot that is coming out, go down and stop it!" The spy boss shouted, and a group of small agents forgot to consider the ridiculousness of this order, and hurriedly rushed downstairs, but then they were dumbfounded.
The gates of the security team were all open, and a huge infantry fighting vehicle was driving out, running over the asphalt road with rubber tracks, and then suddenly turning around, and the pedestrians on the street were so frightened that they quickly hid aside, and after the first vehicle turned around, the second vehicle followed closely.
A group of spies looked at the steel beast rushing over, the muzzle of the black hole above, and the large-caliber machine gun that inadvertently pointed at the sniper upstairs, and couldn't help but look at each other, at this time, a patrol team hurriedly ran over, led by the British police officer stretched out his hand to try to stop the chariot, but unfortunately the other party did not slow down at all, so frightened that the officer quickly jumped to the side.
The chariots whizzed in front of him one after another, followed by armed jeeps, and the first jeep stopped in front of the officer, and the officer sitting in the car said lightly: "Mr. Yang has arrived at the airport!" ”
The officer was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand expressionlessly.
The long convoy drove away.
"Captain, what should I do?" A small spy asked the spy leader weakly.
"It's a fart, the person must be in the convoy, hurry up and call the above, now it's up to the brothers on the dock." The spy leader said angrily.
Wang Yaqiao, of course, was in the convoy, and after learning that Yang Feng's special plane was about to arrive in Shanghai, how could Yu Maoren miss this opportunity, and directly stuffed him into an infantry fighting vehicle, and then sent him out of the concession, and on the way to Longhua Airport, he transferred to an ordinary car and sent him to the wharf, where a high-speed cargo ship of Jinyuan Company to deliver goods to Hong Kong was waiting. When Zheng Jiemin, who had learned the news, personally arrived at the wharf, the torpedo boat converted cargo ship had already sailed away.
Zheng Jiemin looked at the muddy river under his feet helplessly, after all, it was still Niu B, and as soon as Boss Yang appeared, his month-long efforts came to naught, but if you think about it, it's not a bad thing. At least there is no need to conflict with Yang Feng, it depends on whether Wang Yaqiao can be solved in Hong Kong.
"Mr. Wang, we can only send you to Hong Kong, and you also know that for your sake, it is difficult for Mr. Yang to do it with the chairman, so he must also make a compromise." On the Feiyan high-speed cargo ship, the captain bowed and said respectfully to Wang Yaqiao.
"Mr. Yang understands his difficulties, and he is grateful to be able to send me out of Shanghai." Wang Yaqiao said indifferently.
"But don't worry. After arriving in Hong Kong, Mr. Yang also has arrangements, you can go to this address, and the people there will arrange to send you to Guangxi, and Mr. Yang also asked me to tell you that your friends in Hong Kong are probably not so reliable. As he spoke, the captain handed Wang Yaqiao a note with the address written on it.
His words made Wang Yaqiao's brows furrow immediately, of course this guy didn't know what to say, he was sold by the wife of his own henchman, and Zheng Jiemin must have set a trap in Hong Kong at this time.
The captain didn't say much. The task given to him by Yang Feng was to tell Wang Yaqiao that it was okay, and whether he lived or died depended on how he chose.
Just when Wang Yaqiao left Shanghai. Boss Yang's special plane landed at Longhua Airport, and the security team took control of the entire airport very arbitrarily, and then he boarded a bulletproof car surrounded by bodyguards, and then was escorted by armored cars to Yang's Mansion in Shanghai.
"Immediately sent a telegram to Ma Hongkui, telling him to delay some time and not to fight the Red Army for the first time. At the same time, let him contact Ma Bufang for me, don't be in a hurry to fight with the Red Army, everyone can sit down and discuss something with Heqi.
Also, contact the Soviets and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them. As soon as he arrived home, Yang Feng immediately said to Yu Maoren, who was waiting here.
"Boss, you want to?" Yu Maoren didn't quite understand.
"Nothing. Lay a few mines. Yang Feng smiled sinisterly.
What he is most worried about now is the battlefield situation, you must know that the current strength of the green horses is very strong, these guys are not domesticated by Ningma, this Tama is a group of people.
Besides, although Ma Bufang is not Yang Feng's person, he has made a lot of money in the wool and medicinal materials business over the years, and a large part of the Japanese-style weapons captured in the Northeast Battlefield have been bought by him, and the level of equipment has been greatly improved.
"Generalissimo Xu, you have to hold on!" Yang Feng muttered to himself a little uneasily.
In fact, he didn't send this telegram, and Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin wouldn't be in a hurry to join in the excitement, the main direction of attack of the Western Route Army was Qingma's territory, and they would at most go to play soy sauce.
However, Yang Feng's telegram still made Ma Hongkui a little confused.
"What does this Brother Yang want to do? Let the Ma Bufang brothers fight with them. "This product obviously prefers to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, after all, Ningma and Qingma are not good friends.
"What shall we do?" His son Ma Dunjing asked, he had just graduated from the senior class of the bald man's Zhongyang Military Academy, and now he was inevitably a little cautious about making achievements.
"What to do? Don't go to Nanjing and be confused, Lao Jiang has sold people with him all his life, Yang Feng has never seen him since his debut, what do you say to do? Ma Hongkui glared at him and said.
"You take a plane to Lanzhou, and tell Ma Bufang in person what Brother Yang meant, as for what he does, it's none of our business." The old horse said sinisterly.
"Understood!" Ma Dunjing immediately nodded in understanding.
And at this time, Yang Feng was also in his own mansion and began a conspiracy with Bogomolov.
"Your Excellency, come and try this thing, I don't have this habit, but someone else gave me a few boxes, if you like it, you might as well take it." Big Boss Yang handed Bogomolov a box of cigars and said.
Bogomolov shrugged and took it, this guy has received a lot of small favors from Yang Feng, of course he will not refuse such a gift.
"Yang, is there anything I need help with?" The man took a puff of his cigar and said, he naturally understood that it was impossible for Boss Yang to give him gifts and play without trouble.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, you know that the northwest of Langdao has always been my main wool supplier, but now that there are wars every day, how can those herdsmen herd sheep? It's going to have a big impact on my business.
So I hope to be able to mediate secretly, their goal is nothing more than to get closer to you, what Ma Bufang is afraid of is nothing more than that they occupy their own territory, this war is completely a misunderstanding, everyone just sit together and talk about it? Why do you have to fight to the death? Yang Feng said with a sincere face.
Bogomolov stared at him with wide eyes, as if studying what the hell the thing was trying to do.
"Yang, you also know that it is inconvenient for us to intervene in China's internal affairs." He said tentatively.
"You're not a friend enough, are you? I consider you a true friend, or I would not have been able to say such things to you. Yang Feng said dissatisfied.
"Well, you know, they are under the command of the Comintern, not our Soviet government." Bogmolov continued to stall for time.
"The Comintern is not yet Comrade Stalin's final say?" Yang Feng said dissatisfied.
"Do you really want to mediate this?" Bogomolov has now finally confirmed his sincerity.
"Of course." Yang Feng said.
"Well, I'll tell the Comintern what you mean, and of course I can't guarantee whether they agree or not." Bogmolov said.
What could he not promise, Joseph wished there was such a good thing! Although he hooked up with Sheng Shicai very deeply, the two sides were of different classes and beliefs after all, but if the great Workers' and Peasants' Red Army entered Xinjiang, then the next thing would be completely easy. (To be continued......)
