At this time, Hu Weidong took out the design drawings of the MG42 general-purpose machine gun and the Panther tank to tempt the Germans had been written down by the Germans and sent back to China, Hu Weidong was quite depressed after learning about this, but there was no other way, the layman could not see the advantages and disadvantages of the design, but the insider's view, "The people who have never forgotten are not only in China!" This is really an unsolvable contradiction. ,!……

Fortunately, after the two designs were highly praised by the Germans, Hu Weidong was enough to make the Germans look forward to it even if he did not draw the designs. But if they didn't come up with enough hard currency, the Germans wouldn't cooperate with the Red Party, even if they were greedy. But Hu Weidong was never willing to give up, he knew very well in his heart that once the European war broke out, because the sea control has been in the hands of the British, China will basically no longer be able to import any large-scale equipment from Germany, and even the introduction of talents will become extremely difficult, and the division of the German heritage after the war, no matter how you think about it, it is difficult to have China's share, so the only chance is now......

Hu Weidong had no choice but to send an encrypted telegram to Mao Zemin, who was far away in the United States, asking him if he had any recourse, and Hu Weidong's move was not overstepping his authority, because the central government had previously specifically authorized Hu Weidong to allocate and use all the hard currency other than the necessary reserves of the government finances of the three border regions in North China and overseas income (Note 1), and if time was pressing, he could even cut it first......

Mao Zemin's reply was that this problem was not necessarily unsolvable, but he still needed to adapt to the situation on how to do it, and for this reason, Mao Zemin hoped that he could have full authority to handle the business and foreign affairs of the Red Party overseas. This power is too great, even with Hu Weidong's current status, he does not have this authority, he spent a lot of lips and tongues to persuade Zhang Hao and Zhou Gong, the secretary of the Central Plains Bureau, and then asked the two of them to do the work of others, especially Taizu, before finally facilitating the Central Committee to vote and pass. More importantly, some people with ulterior motives pinned their hopes on Mao Zemin, who boasted about Haikou, to mess things up. So as to give them a chance to make a comeback, so they unanimously expressed their support, and when they expressed this position, even Taizu, who was strongly opposed at the beginning, could only agree, otherwise it would be for the sake of not taking risks and delaying the party's cause. One way or another. Mao Zemin, a business wizard, finally got the much-needed power he wanted. In the past few years, he has been able to truly display his talents, and in the past few years, he has been in the Western financial circles, and is known as the "Shacht of the East......

For Mao Zemin, Hu Weidong is looking forward to and worrying. However, it is inconvenient to communicate across the ocean, and I don't want to interfere too much and cause evil consequences, so I can only put away my worried heart and continue my current work, and the most important of them is the most important. It is none other than the reorganization of Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army of the National Army......

Although he admired Fu Zuoyi very much, it was impossible for Hu Weidong to leave a time bomb in his army, so it was imperative to adapt. First of all, Hu Weidong not only expanded the two divisions originally under the jurisdiction of the 35th Army into integrated divisions, but also incorporated Sun Liren's new 38th Division, which was the best equipped and strongest in the 15th Group Army, into the 35th Army, making its strength soar from more than 30,000 to more than 100,000, and it became a first-class strong army in China whose strength was almost not inferior to that of the 15th Army. Fu Zuoyi was a soldier first, and then a warlord. And his desire to serve the country has never stopped, and although such a large expansion of the army has greatly weakened his control over the old department, Fu Zuoyi has also been able to show his talents more and more......

Secondly, Hu Weidong also completely replaced the national and Japanese weapons previously equipped by the 35th Army with new weapons and equipment such as the Type 24 semi-automatic rifle, the Bayi type assault rifle (each equipped with 2 ordinary infantry squads), and the Changying-1 rocket launcher produced in the border area. But Fu Zuoyi knew this problem. But he still couldn't refuse, no matter how high his prestige in the army was, if he insisted on his subordinates to give up these advanced and easy-to-use new equipment, and continue to use the old weapons from before. I'm afraid that the soldiers of the 35th Army will also mutiny, after all, they are all veterans of a hundred battles. We all know what the haode weapon means to you......

So Fu Zuoyi has no other way out than to follow the Red Party, unless he is willing to leave his team, but this is obviously impossible. It didn't take long for Fu Zuoyi to quickly realize that maybe joining the Red Party would have been a good choice.

As the boss of a miscellaneous army, although Fu Zuoyi was valued by Lao Jiang because of his talents, his 35th Army was saved from the bad luck of canceling the number (but the lower-level establishment was also cut), and the deduction of military pay and ammunition was not serious, but compared with the treatment of the Central Army, it was still a cut behind. After joining the 15th Group Army, the officers and men of the 35th Army felt unprecedented fairness, what equipment did Hu Weidong's old army use in the 15th Army, what equipment did the 35th Army use, what kind of food did the 15th Army eat, and the 35th Army was also exactly the same, it was obvious that the Red Party really regarded the 35th Army as its own troops, which made Fu Zuoyi very moved.

Moreover, although the original salaries of the officers and men of the 35th Army were cancelled and replaced with a relatively meager "living allowance", because the officers and soldiers were the same, and the 15th Army had long been like this, everyone did not have any complaints. What's more, if we take into account the benefits distributed by the group army, such as food and daily necessities, the lives of the 35 officers and men are much better than before......

Note 1: There are mainly two parts, one is the income of Zhongfu International, which is usually managed by Mao Zemin, and it will increase in value as soon as possible through production and operation and capital operation, but if Hu Weidong has a request, even if it will make Zhongfu International bankrupt and bankrupt, Mao Zemin must also implement it; The second is the donations made by overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese to support the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the foreign exchange, gold and silver paid by overseas Chinese remittances and the subscription of public bonds, due to the repeated miraculous achievements of the Red Party army in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the proportion of this income is getting larger and larger day by day, and by the end of 1938 it has exceeded 20% of the total amount, and the proportion of donations and subscriptions to public bonds has exceeded 70% (because the objects of overseas Chinese remittances are fixed, and they are basically remitted to the hometowns of overseas Chinese on the southeast coast, so the proportion has always been very low. In addition, with the vigorous development of Zhongfu shares and the in-depth cooperation with Ford, overseas Chinese have continued to reach a new level in terms of wealth and status, so this part of the income is increasing day by day, and it broke through the $10 million mark for the first time in October......
