Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu Chapter 11 Offending people

Tang Ying handed the donation box full of cashier's checks, checks, and cash to Feng Shengfa along with the account book, and said with a smile: "General Feng, please take it." ”

Feng Shengfa took the account book and glanced at it, and then directly put it into his arms, without any intention of making it public.

He Yingqin's face immediately became gloomy, and the officials of the Ministry of Finance and the Logistics Department also changed their faces, the amount of the donation is not a secret, they can easily know, but Feng Shengfa's behavior is to monopolize the donation, this kid is too unreasonable, he really dares to stretch out this hand, is this money so easy to take?

But they soon learned that it was nothing, and that there was more to come.

Feng Shengfa said to Tang Ying, "Miss Tang, can I trouble you with something?" ”

Tang Ying shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "General Feng has any orders, just say it." ”

Feng Shengfa said: "I would like to entrust Miss Tang to convert all this donation into US dollars and deposit it in Citibank temporarily. ”

As soon as these words came out, the presidents, managers, and directors of the major banks present even had the heart to kill Feng Shengfa, and even Song Ziwen in the VIP room changed his face.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government began to print fiat currency frantically due to the shortage of funds, and the money supply increased dozens of times in less than half a year, which directly led to the sharp depreciation of fiat currency

If Feng Shengfa directly takes this donation, it is actually equivalent to taking away a pile of waste paper, because Feng Shengfa can't use this money to buy any materials from small traders, if Feng Shengfa wants to buy materials from foreign merchants, he must go through the middle compradors, and he must first deposit this money in the bank.

But if Feng Shengfa had converted the donation directly into dollars and deposited it with Citibank, the situation would have been completely different.

The U.S. dollar is a hard currency, and although it cannot be directly circulated in China, it can be exchanged for two other kinds of hard currency that can be circulated in China at various branches of foreign banks -- gold or silver dollars, that is, Feng Shengfa's exchange and deposit will immediately turn a pile of waste paper into a huge sum of money that can be really used.

This hit the sore spot of various state-owned banks, especially Song Ziwen

Because Citibank is not a philanthropist, the central bank has to put out the corresponding foreign exchange reserves or gold reserves as collateral for how much fiat currency they have in deposit, and it has to be based on the official exchange rate of one dollar to four fiat currency, not according to the black market exchange rate, which has long since collapsed.

Therefore, Feng Shengfa's conversion of this donation into US dollars and deposited in Citibank is equivalent to taking money directly from the central bank or directly from Song Ziwen's pocket, can he not feel distressed?

However, it is not easy to convert this donation into US dollars, at least Feng Shengfa himself can't do it.

Otherwise, anyone with a sum of fiat currency can go to a foreign bank to exchange US dollars, with the pitiful foreign exchange reserves and gold reserves of the national government, it would have been run on a long time ago, but with Tang Ying's huge influence, it is obviously not a problem to do this little thing, and Song Ziwen can only hope that Tang Ying will not agree to Feng Shengfa's request.

However, to Song Ziwen's great disappointment, Tang Ying agreed very crisply, and asked Feng Shengfa to come to Hankou two days later to pick up the promissory note, and then he was invited into the No. 9 private room.

Melodious music sounded, and the dance party finally began.

Xu Shijiu stood up and greeted Feng Shengfa, and said with a smile: "Master, you have offended a lot of people this time. ”

Feng Shengfa's cold gaze swept over the faces of He Yingqin, the Minister of Military Affairs, and Yi Yu, and found that most of these military and political officials had unkind expressions, and immediately pursed their lips and said disdainfully: "As long as the brothers of the 58th Division have food and clothing, and the wounded will not lie there waiting to die because of lack of medicine, what does it matter if they offend more people?" ”

Zhang Shaojie sighed: "The division has offended so many big people, I am afraid it will be difficult to be promoted in the future." ”

Feng Shengfa drank all the red wine in the goblet and said, "What if you don't get promoted?" ”

Xu Shijiu casually took two glasses of red wine from the tray held by the waiter, and was about to hand one of them to Feng Shengfa, when a bright and amorous courtesan had already walked up to her and said with a smile: "Little girl Chen Manli, I don't know if I have the honor to dance with Colonel Xu?" ”

Xu Shijiu did not refuse people thousands of miles away, and said gracefully: "Miss Chen, please." ”

Looking at Xu Shijiu hugging the slender waist of the bright courtesan and spinning into the dance floor, Feng Shengfa shook his head with envy, and Zhang Shaojie also muttered softly, the little white face is to please his sister.

On the dance floor, Xu Shijiu was dancing with Chen Manli.

Chen Manli looked at Xu Shijiu up close, only to find that Xu Shijiu's eyebrows had a scar, and the skin was slightly rough, but this did not damage Xu Shijiu's masculine charm at all, Chen Manli even felt shaken because of this, she has been involved in the social scene for several years, but there has never been a man who can make her heart beat faster like Xu Shijiu.

Chen Manli stared at Xu Shijiu's bright and intimidating eyes, and said with a smile: "Colonel Xu, do you know that Sister Tang Ying has offended a lot of people for you?" ”

"You know Tang Ying very well?" Xu Shijiu stared at Chen Manli's beautiful eyes and asked in a low voice.

"We're good sisters, the kind that doesn't talk about anything." Chen Manli showed a narrow smile in her beautiful eyes, as if she was saying that Sister Tang Ying told me everything, including you.

Xu Shijiu smiled noncommittally, and it could be seen that the courtesan in front of him was very interested in him, but he was not interested in this courtesan, and he was not even interested in acting on the spot, since Yu Jiaxi fell into the river, his emotional door seemed to be completely closed all of a sudden.

Chen Manli felt the kind of indifference that Xu Shijiu exuded from her bones, which made her inevitably a little ashamed, Chen Manli was actually a few points better than Tang Ying in terms of appearance, if it wasn't for her debut too late, maybe it wouldn't be Nantang Beilu, but it should be Nanchen Beilu, Chen Manli has this confidence.

Chen Manli really wanted to get confirmation from Xu Shijiu, but the result was a little cruel.

After a dance, Xu Shijiu let go of the hand holding Chen Manli's slender waist without any nostalgia, and said: "Miss Chen, please help me give Tang Ying a word, just say that I am very grateful to him, thank him for his sacrifice for the more than 9,000 brothers in the 58th Division, and I, and all the brothers in the 58th Division, will always remember him." ”

"Wait a minute...... "Wait a minute" Waiting for Chen Manli to react, Xu Shijiu had already left.

Looking at Xu Shijiu's back for a long time, Chen Manli came back to her senses, then stomped her feet fiercely, and said fiercely in her heart: Okay, you offended me, this matter is not over

Chen Manli's angry appearance happened to fall into Tang Ying's eyes.

Tang Ying chatted with Song Ziwen for a few words, and then left the No. 9 box under the pretext, and now Tang Ying no longer has the same feeling for Song Ziwen, although Song Ziwen is still in love with Tang Ying, but Tang Ying is worried about Xu Nineteen, where is she still in the mood to perfunctory Song Ziwen?

It's just that when Tang Ying came out of the box, she was still half a step late.

Tang Ying was stunned, but Chen Manli came up and said angrily: "Sister Tang Ying, this guy is too annoying." ”

Zhou Shuping also said: "This guy's heart is really iron, he really can't bear not to say goodbye to Sister Tang Ying?" ”

Chen Manli said angrily: "This guy is just posturing and flaunting his differences, hum"

"Pretending to be a gesture, flaunting?" Tang Ying shook her head with a wry smile and said gloomily, "No, he is not such a person." ”

"He's such a person, I don't believe that there are really cats in this world that don't steal." Chen Manli was really annoyed by Xu Shijiu, and said, "Sister Tang Ying, if you don't mind, I have to tease and tease this guy." ”

Tang Ying said: "If you are not afraid of hitting a wall and being embarrassed, even if you tease him, I won't mind, but I have to remind you, don't trap yourself in it, this man is hard-hearted, he won't pity the jade, and besides, he doesn't like women like us." ”

Zhou Shuping said: "Then what kind of woman does he like?" ”

"He, he likes the ladies who don't smell the slightest bit of dust." Tang Ying suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, the type of woman Xu Shijiu liked, that kind of woman.

As soon as Yu Jiaxi came out of the operating room, Liu Chang hurriedly greeted him.

"Jiaxi, our deputy commander Xiang has come to visit you." Liu Chang said enthusiastically.

Yu Jiaxi frowned slightly, Liu Chang's affectionate title made her feel extremely uncomfortable, but she was not an unkind girl, so she didn't have a seizure, but the deputy commander Xiang who came with Liu Chang was very sincere, he didn't shake hands with Yu Jiaxi rashly, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

Yu Jiaxi did the New Fourth Army a great favor.

There were more than 8,000 Red Army guerrillas who came to southern Anhui to receive reorganization, and on the way to southern Anhui, these guerrillas exchanged fire with little Japan, and many of them were wounded, and the New Fourth Army had just been created, and the shelves of field hospitals had not yet been erected, and there was not a single high-level military doctor.

Yu Jiaxi followed He Keqi and them to southern Anhui, and saw that so many wounded people were in urgent need of treatment, of course she would not stand by, plus He Keqi and they also brought the medicines and medical equipment that Gao Shenxing had robbed from Zhenjiang, Yu Jiaxi couldn't sit idly by, and she quickly devoted herself to the intense work of saving lives and helping the wounded.

In order to operate on the wounded of the New Fourth Army, Yu Jiaxi even repeatedly postponed the return date.

However, Deputy Army Commander Xiang came to her this time, in addition to thanking her in person, in fact, there was another purpose, that is, to persuade Yu Jiaxi to stay in the New Fourth Army, listening to Deputy Army Commander Xiang's intentions, Yu Jiaxi couldn't help but make a difficulty, on the one hand, she was eager to see Xu Shijiu, but on the other hand, the New Fourth Army does need a military doctor now.
