"Shame! Look! ”

Huangshan Villa. Yunxiu Tower.

With a crackling sound, a large vase that was said to be very old was shattered.

"Darling." Song Meiling looked at the angry old Jiang with an embarrassed expression, "Big brother, he ......"

"What is he? He's just self-righteous! thinks that no one else can compare to him, and thinks that he himself is the most correct. "Lao Jiang's resentment against Song Ziwen is not a day or two. has always hindered Song Meiling's face before, and when he was most angry, he slapped Song Ziwen, and it was when the two were alone, but now if Song Ziwen was in front of him, he would not slap him, but would like to use a cane to directly smash Song Ziwen into pieces like the vase, even if Song Meiling was standing aside. And the reason why he is so angry is because Song Ziwen "failed". After the US Treasury Secretary's repeated side attacks and various ways of inquiry, the efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yan Huiqing and others were basically in vain.

"A loan of $200 million, only 34 million? He was so embarrassed to repay me——? ”

"But this ...... Better than nothing, right? Song Meiling said slurfully.

"None? How much difference is there between this little money and nothing? Chiang Kai-shek kept smashing his cane on the floor, as if he had committed chicken claw madness, but in the end, he still failed to lose his temper with Song Meiling...... An old husband and a young wife, and he is also a very capable young wife, as an "old husband", he is always a little lacking in confidence, "What a good plan?" Well? We are now asking for $200 million, and as soon as the United States enters the war, we can ask for higher loans, and even let the Americans directly bear our military spending! But now he only needs 34 million...... How can I talk to people when the time comes? ”

"The Americans are not brainless, and they bear the military expenses of our millions of troops, how can they agree?" Song Meiling worked hard to speak to her eldest brother. Because she knew that Lao Jiang was really angry this time. War is about money. This has been true from ancient times to the present day. And Lao Jiang took over such a huge armored corps not long ago, and the speed of spending money was even faster. If it used to be a small river, now it is the surging Yellow River, draining thousands of miles. But even if he knew that it would cost more money to raise such an armored corps than to raise an army of millions, Lao Jiang was reluctant to let these weapons lie there. O armored troops! Ever since the Germans swept through Europa with a flood of armor, who wouldn't want to have such a powerful armored force in their hands? Especially in a poor country like China, it is even more thoughtful. There was no drama before, and I had to make a four-way appearance to test the water, such as Du Yuming's Fifth Army, known as China's first mechanized army. In fact, there are only a few light tanks and combat vehicles bought from abroad; And now that a real armored unit has finally been obtained without spending money, there is no reason for such a powerful force to stop there as a specimen. But the problem is, it takes money, a lot of money, a lot of money!

"You don't understand." Old Jiang let out a long sigh. "It is entirely possible to make the Americans bear our military spending. As long as they are defeated in the Philippines. As long as we show the strength to be able to confront Japan. They are absolutely willing to spend this money. This was confirmed by the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and those experts. ”

"Then the eldest brother went to the United States, why did no one tell him?" Song Meiling was furious, "Isn't this watching him jump into the pit?" Will that Yan Huiqing do anything? Is there some conspiracy on his part? ”

"What's the conspiracy?" Chiang Kai-shek said angrily, "Your eldest brother is so arrogant that he doesn't even pay attention to me." Where can you look down on such a bad old man as Yan Huiqing? …… He only thought about quickly facilitating this loan agreement, and returned with merit in order to seize the position of the mediocre premier, and he didn't give Yan Huiqing a chance to explain the entire plan. As a result, Yan Huiqing had no choice but to be at the negotiation table, so he secretly told him about the plan. But he's fine...... Regardless of the big picture! ”

"No way, my eldest brother will never delay state affairs because of personal matters." Song Meiling exclaimed, "There must be something wrong here." ”

"What problem can make him know that we are planning our plan, but still go his own way?" Chiang Kai-shek began to smash the floor with his cane again.

"Darling, I think you'd better find someone to ask carefully...... I can't let my eldest brother suffer such a wrongful wrong. Song Meiling ignored Lao Jiang's anger, no matter how big the fire was, it didn't come at her, and she didn't dare to send it at her...... The biggest problem now is Song Ziwen. If her eldest brother really caused the Chinese government to lose more than 100 million yuan in loans, the problem would really be too big. Even Lao Jiang may not be able to keep Song Ziwen's position. What's more, Lao Jiang may not be willing to protect his brother-in-law. Moreover, her eldest brother-in-law has always looked at her eldest brother unpleasantly, and the two have been fighting for the position of the Executive Yuan and the financial power of the National Government for so many years, and they have long lost much affection. With such an opportunity, it is strange that Kong Xiangxi does not hurry up and fall into the well, even if her eldest sister comes forward, she will definitely not be able to stop it.

But the question is, why would Song Ziwen make such a mistake?

***********************************

"He's trying to gain self-respect!"

Kong Xiangxi was so angry that he smashed the document directly on the table, his fat face couldn't help shaking, and he almost became a piece of horizontal meat in one step.

"Does he have a foreign self-respect, what's wrong with me? What did you call me for? Qin Wei picked his nails very unhappily: "I've been rare to be idle lately, and I want to go shopping in the Jialing River with my wife." ”

"Don't pretend to me." Kong Xiangxi sneered, "He Song Ziwen doesn't bite the fat, but only eats oil residue." Don't you be angry that you spent more than a million dollars in vain?

"I'm not angry." Qin Wei spread out his hands, "Anyway, as soon as this matter is said, my uncle from another country will definitely have to make up for me." I didn't intend to treat the money as personal property, so it was definitely a smooth way to go with public money. When the time comes, don't talk about a loan of two or three hundred million, even four or five hundred million, and President Song will have to carry it for me. What am I angry about? ”

"If this can allow you to buy off your Grand Commander Qin, then I will have gained knowledge." Kong Xiangxi still sneered, "Otherwise, I'll help you get money, and how about you settle the debt that our Kong family owes you?" ”

"How is that the same?" Qin Wei pouted, "Now one dollar is nearly forty yuan against fiat currency." This is still the country's legal exchange rate, and one pound can be exchanged against more than four dollars of dollars, 10 million pounds, at least 1.6 billion fiat currency, and maybe you can get back 300 or 400 million yuan in the black market. Then I'm too good to pass it off? ”

"10 million pounds, 50 million dollars in dollars; But what he Song Ziwen didn't get this time was at least 167 million US dollars! Why don't you count this account? Kong Xiangxi shouted.

"Public is public, private is private, and public and private should be clearly distinguished." Qin Wei raised his head innocently, "Say it again." I'm just a soldier, and I don't care about finances, so I have something to do with this? ”

"I'm not a good person, I know this, but no matter what, I'm also the executive president. It's not a soft egg to be bullied. No matter how great your Qin Wei meritorious service is, no matter how high your status is in the eyes of the chairman. With 10 million in arrears, you want to press me? I don't even admit it. Who in the whole of China can help me? Kong Xiangxi said coldly, "I just admire that you would rather take out that lot of wealth and contribute it to the country, so every time you are falsely accused, you will only give a step, otherwise, what can you do with me?" ”

"Do you want to show your patriotic fervor, or do you want to show your good character?" Qin Wei glanced at the fat man in front of him in amazement, and then looked up at the ceiling, "I was actually praised by a corrupt official leader?" Is there still truth in this world? ”

"Don't pretend." Kong Xiangxi shouted. Song Ziwen took advantage of foreign self-respect and took the opportunity to sell good ...... to the Yankees The US Government has clearly expressed its dissatisfaction with us in the news we have just received, and the official letter has already been handed to Wang Chonghui. ”

"It's not once or twice that the U.S. government has been dissatisfied with us. What's there to care about? Qin Wei continued to lower his head and pick his nails, "If you have the ability, you let Roosevelt personally invite me to a duel!" ”

"Do you remember Chennault and their construction of airports in Chengdu, Kunming and other places some time ago?" Kong Xiangxi knew that if he didn't expose the material, Qin Wei would definitely not be able to speak for him, and as one of China's largest financial sources at present, the dissatisfaction of the US government would still exert a lot of pressure on Lao Jiang and the Nationalist Government. When the time comes, it is unlikely that you will be able to resist this pressure on your own. He had to ask Qin Wei for help. Because now there is only Qin Wei who has the ability to help him in this regard.

"I know that. Dean Kong wants to give himself credit? Qin Wei shrugged his shoulders and looked at Kong Xiangxi with a grin. Since he met Kong Xiangxi, this incident is probably the most satisfying thing that this fat man has done. After Japan's sneak attack on the United States, Chennault's "Flying Tigers" were no longer the original American Volunteer Air Force, but were reorganized into the 23rd Brigade under the 10th Air Force of the United States Army of the United States of America, and the 16th Fighter Squadron, which had recently arrived in China, formed the US Air Force Task Force in China, which was also subordinate to the 10th Air Force of the US Army, and Chennault was the commander of the US Air Task Force in China, and his military rank was promoted to brigadier general. However, the United States is not the same as it used to be. Because the main railroad artery and the Panama Canal, an important waterway, had also been bombed by the Japanese and the navy had suffered heavy losses, the only force they could send to fight the Japanese was at present. Although the American airlines were also bombed by the Japanese and suffered heavy losses, Roosevelt had long ordered the large-scale manufacture of various aircraft, so while protecting the safety of the American airspace, they still had enough strength to send air forces to Southeast Asia and China. The size of the Air Task Force in China is not just what it is now, but will be further expanded. This means that China is not allowed to build larger airports. The various supporting facilities of these airports must also be improved, and the runway cannot be like those airports of the Eighth Route Army on Taihang Mountain, which are simply manually tamped, so it costs a lot of money. However, because these airports mainly serve the US aviation forces, and the Americans have deep pockets, it is the US military that pays for them.

The Americans paid for the construction of air bases in Chengdu, Kunming and other places, and according to the agreement, the wages of the workers were paid directly by the US military, which required a large amount of fiat currency. Unexpectedly, the Americans did not take the right path, but sold the dollar bills they brought on the black market. At this time, the official exchange rate was more than 30 yuan per legal currency, but the black market was more than 80 yuan. Kong Xiangxi held that the US military's practice had affected the value of the fiat currency, and was dissatisfied, so he negotiated with the US military and agreed that the Chinese Government should provide as much fiat currency cash as possible for the US side to use, and that the US military should deliver the corresponding US dollars according to China's legal exchange rate. This caused dissatisfaction among the US military. It's going to cost more than twice as much. As a result, the foreign affairs department made trouble with the U.S. Treasury Department, and it caused trouble with little Henry. Morgenthau's desk. Morgenthau, in line with the principle of saving money for the American people, did not agree with the Chinese government to do so. Kong Xiangxi was resolutely opposed. He believes that although the value of the US dollar in the black market is high at this time, the US side in China, including diplomatic, military, and religious education personnel, is exchanging 40 yuan of legal currency for 1 yuan in US dollars. In this case, why did the U.S. military exchange 1 dollar for 80 yuan of legal currency? There are two different prices for income and payment, and you Yankees are too cheap. But Morgenthau just didn't agree to China's demands. Kong Xiangxi made a request to Roosevelt through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and persuaded Lao Chiang to send a telegram to Roosevelt to reason. Therefore, Roosevelt agreed to the Chinese request out of consideration for the overall situation. And this time has come and gone, the US military has suffered considerable losses, but the Chinese side has retained many interests. However, this is nothing, and the most important thing is that this incident has provided a certain factual basis for the Chinese side to provide the corresponding fiat currency to repay the loan according to China's official exchange rate. As the US Treasury Secretary, Morgenthau was naturally very dissatisfied, and it became more and more unpleasant to look at Kong Xiangxi, the initiator.

"He, Song Ziwen, caught this sore foot, deliberately sold it to Morgenthau, and then asked Morgenthau to encourage Roosevelt to come out to put pressure on the chairman of the committee, intending to remove me from my position!" Kong Xiangxi shouted.

"Is that so? That's going too far! Qin Wei sighed and glanced at Kong Xiangxi again, "I comfort you spiritually!" ”

"Mentally is not enough." Kong Xiangxi gasped, "Think about it yourself...... Do you want to calculate the Yankees, should you find someone who has a gap with them, or find someone who can only pat their ass to be the executive president? Besides, I owe you money, Song Ziwen doesn't owe you money, am I more suitable for you in this position, or is he more suitable? ”

"How do you say that?" Qin Wei licked his tongue, "I've always been upright and bright, and I don't seek personal gain!" ”

"So are you going to help?" Kong Xiangxi shouted.

“…… How much do you pay? (To be continued......)
