Chapter 20: The White Wolf with Empty Gloves (New Book for Onlookers)

As the saying goes, 'when the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold', and Chen Feng has not yet fired the cannon, and millions of oceans will be gone. Chen Binggong is a business genius, and in just a few decades, he has grown from a poor boy to a well-known wealthy businessman in the four northern provinces, with a family background of millions of oceans.

But no matter how powerful Lao Tzu is, he can't stand a loser like Chen Feng, this is not an old man who can't stand it, so he simply said to Chen Feng, there is no money at home, you can do it yourself.

No money is a fatal thing, and a penny is hard to kill a hero, not to mention a force. Even the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which had been reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, would give some subsidies to its soldiers when necessary, not to mention troops like Chen Feng who pulled up on their own.

Without money, the troops had no food, no weapons and equipment, no cotton clothes and no medicine. Without the guarantee of these things, how can the combat effectiveness of the troops be improved? Chen Feng thought about it for a few days and decided to borrow money.

"You want to borrow money?" Chen Binggong looked at his son in surprise.

It stands to reason that his son is now on the right path, not to dip the grass, let alone eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, Lao Chen should be happy. But how can my son now be determined to develop the army, the family's money has been spent like flowing water, and Chen Feng killed more than 2.6 million oceans in two trips to Pingjin, and Lao Chen, who started a small business, felt distressed in his heart.

In addition, the son runs outside every day, and often has to lead troops to fight, if something happens, then it will be okay, the old Chen family is such a son as him, and he has to rely on him to inherit the lineage, and he can't afford to lose.

"Yes, Dad, we need a lot of money for all aspects of construction now, and we can't do anything without money." Chen Feng said.

"So who are you going to borrow money from, and how much are you going to borrow?" Chen Bing asked openly.

"Dad, are you familiar with which foreign banks?" Chen Feng asked again.

"It's okay, Citibank in the United States, HSBC in the United Kingdom, Banque de France in France, and Deutsche Bank in Germany all have business dealings with our family, why are you planning to borrow money from them?" Chen Binggong asked.

"What about the banks in Japan, you don't know anyone?" Chen Feng asked again.

"Japan, my father also has business dealings with Japan's Fuji Bank and Daiichi Koyo Bank, and he also has a good relationship with a deacon of Japan's Daiwa Bank. However, whether it is the Bank of Japan or these banks in other countries, the interest rate is not low, and collateral is required. Chen Binggong said with a frown.

"It's easy to say, Dad, you set off tomorrow for a trip to Beiping, secretly borrow money from these foreign banks, borrow as much as you can, don't care about the interest, everything you can mortgage at home can be mortgaged to them, especially the Bank of Japan, the more the better." Chen Feng said.

"Feng'er, what are you going to do, are you going to just borrow and not pay it back?" Chen Binggong continued to ask.

"Who said not to pay it back, Dad, there are two principles for you to borrow money this time, the first is to indicate when you sign a contract with them that the loan term is 5 years, and the principal and interest will be repaid after the maturity, but when you repay the money, you must repay the legal tender of the national government. The second principle is to lend money and immediately exchange it for ocean or daily necessities and return to Xinghe. ”

"What do you mean, why do you have to pay back fiat currency?" Chen Binggong asked strangely.

"It's nothing, it's just your son, I'm going to empty the gloves of the white wolf. Now that war is about to start, the outside world knows very little about it, and there are foreigners who do not think that the Japanese will start a full-scale war against China, so they do not consider the impact of the war on the banks at all. Dad, once the war breaks out, the national government will definitely be at a disadvantage in a short period of time, places like Pingjin will fall at the first time, and the national government's fiat currency will depreciate rapidly. Chen Feng said with a smile.

Chen Feng knew that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang government adopted an inflationary policy, and the fiat currency depreciated sharply. On the eve of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, the total amount of legal tender issued was only more than 1.4 billion yuan, and by the eve of Japan's surrender, the amount of legal tender issued had reached 500 billion yuan. Now the issuance of fiat currency is quite stable, and the purchasing power is still very strong, and one hundred yuan can buy two good scalpers. But at the end of the Anti-Japanese War, 100 yuan of fiat currency could only buy two eggs, which depreciated tens of thousands of times.

It is said that there was a cultural institution in Shanghai, and before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, a warm-hearted family donated 500,000 yuan in silver, and agreed to deposit it in eight banks.

After the implementation of the fiat currency policy, one silver dollar was synthesized into one fiat currency, so 500,000 oceans were synthesized into 500,000 yuan of fiat currency. Shanghai fell to the enemy, two legal tender pairs of counterfeit currency one, synthetic counterfeit currency 250,000 yuan. Victorious, 200 counterfeit coins against one fiat currency, synthetic fiat currency 1,250 yuan. The gold yuan coupon was issued, and the fiat currency was three million to one gold yuan bill, and the synthetic gold yuan coupon was four cents; Two pairs of gold dollars are one, and two silver dollars are synthesized two millimeters and five interest. In the past ten years, I have gone around in a big circle, and 500,000 yuan is almost equal to zero, making a big joke.

Chen Feng now wants to take advantage of the imminent depreciation of Fabi to make a big profit, and if he borrows one million oceans now, and repays it with fiat currency in a few years, I am afraid that it will not even be worth a thousand oceans.

After listening to Chen Feng's plan, the old man also felt that this matter was promising. With the credibility of his Chen Binggong, Chen Ji Grain Store and Chen Ji Fur Company, there is no problem at all for any one to borrow 1.8 million. Besides, Chen Feng also said that now the Chen family's shops and courtyards in the capital and other cities will become worthless after the outbreak of the war.

The next day, the old man secretly went to Beiping under the protection of a special operations team, while Chen Feng focused on military training and city defense construction.

In last month's anti-bandit operation, the combat effectiveness of the troops improved rapidly, and in addition, a large number of bandits and bandits were captured. For these people, Chen Feng did not kill them quickly, but gathered them together, Chen Feng knew that except for a few evils, his hands were stained with the blood of ordinary people, and he really should be killed. But the essence of the vast majority of people is still good, but this world does not allow people to live, and they have no choice but to fall into the grass and embark on this road of no return.

Therefore, Chen Feng decided to give these people a chance, Chen Feng's request was very simple, as long as these people were willing to join his security regiment and could pass the assessment, he could exempt them from the death penalty, and at the same time convert their household registration to military registration, and their families could enjoy the treatment of military dependents.

Chen Feng knew that it was only a little more than a month before the outbreak of the war, and for more than a month, he didn't know at all what these people had trained in. But the vast majority of these people are ruthless characters, and most of them have fought with guns, and Chen Feng's expectations for them are still very high.

In order to train these bandits and bandits into qualified soldiers, Chen Feng organized these people into an infantry regiment and gave them the number of the Third Security Regiment, while he personally served as the head of the Third Security Regiment, and the head of the First Security Regiment was succeeded by Li Wensheng.

The establishment of the Third Security Regiment is the same as that of the other two regiments, but the number of soldiers is smaller than that of the previous two regiments, with only more than 2,800 people.

The Third Security Regiment did not have a single official officer except for Chen Feng, and in Chen Feng's words, no one in the entire Third Security Regiment was qualified to be an officer except for him. After listing all the training subjects, Chen Feng told every soldier in the Third Regiment that the training subjects were all there, and if he could get a good ranking in the comprehensive assessment, then he would be the deputy head of the Third Security Regiment, and the second would be the chief of staff, and so on.

According to the establishment of the security regiment, the third security regiment needs two regiment-level officers, four battalion-level officers, eight deputy battalion-level officers, 14 training officers, 14 deputy company-level officers, 42 platoon-level officers, and 42 deputy platoon-level officers, and 126 officers need to be selected from the more than 2,800 people.

Chen Feng said that these 126 officers were all born between them, and he would not transfer an officer to serve in the Third Regiment, as for who these 126 officers are, it depends on their ability.

With the incentive of the official position, without Chen Feng's supervision, the enthusiasm for the training of the three regiments was naturally raised. In addition, the soldiers of these three regiments were originally from bandits, and everyone's physical fitness was originally good, and after more than half a month, when these people learned the most basic common sense, the training effect was quickly reflected, and there was a tendency to catch up.

Since the Third Regiment was personally trained by Chen Feng, all the training subjects were personally selected by Chen Feng, and the intensity of the training far exceeded that of the First and Second Security Regiments.

According to Chen Feng's request, the troops get up at 5:30 every morning, and after warming up, they run 5,000 meters with a weight of 20 kilograms. After the run, breakfast, of course, don't think about eating breakfast after the last 100 people.

After breakfast, cross 500 meters of barbed wire and make 100 round-trips. 10 sets of push-ups of 60 each. 10 sets of 100 sit-ups. This is followed by sun resistance training, standing with a gun, hanging a brick with a rope at the muzzle, and drying motionless for 2 hours.

Combat training lasts for two hours, all of which are confrontational combat. Immediately followed by live firing, 10 rounds per person, 70 rings are considered qualified. Half an hour after dinner, continue to run 5000 meters with a weight of 20 kg. In addition, there is a weight-bearing cross-country every other week, covering a distance of 60 to 100 km.

Although the training intensity of the first and second security regiments is not small, but after all, there is no danger to life, but the third regiment is different, each of them is a person who is waiting for the crime, if they fail to complete the assessment, then what awaits them will be the guns of the law enforcement team.

Under the threat of death, Chen Feng hoped that they could dig out all the thousands of miles of their bodies and become a real elite army.

Moreover, Chen Feng would participate in the training of the three regiments every day, and he would personally lead the team to train every day, and the amount of training was not less than that of ordinary soldiers, but much more than them. With the stimulation of Chen Feng's leading role and official position, everyone in the third security regiment trained like crazy, and even three of them died directly on the training ground.

Despite this, Chen Feng still did not reduce the amount of training, and time waited for no one. It's already early June, and it's less than a month before the July Seven Incident, and Chen Feng has no way out, so everyone is playing with their lives.

At the same time as the troops were training, Chen Feng also urged the county government to carry out the construction of city defenses and the resettlement of those Jews.

I have to say that Delixi did Chen Feng a great favor, and there were a full 800 Jews from Tianjin. Most of them have a skill, and there are about 100 doctors, of which more than 40 are doctors who have obtained medical licenses, and the other 60 are students who have not yet obtained medical licenses. In addition, there are some mining workers, and there are dozens of steel workers that Chen Feng urgently needs. What made Chen Feng happiest was that there were four military experts and three architectural designers, which made Chen Feng like a treasure.
