But people talk a lot when they are old, even Chen Kah Kee is no exception, and Hu Weidong respects Chen Kah Kee very much on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wants to get the Austrian aid of overseas Chinese through Chen Kah Kee, so as long as it is not a confidential question, he tries to answer, fortunately, because his fake background is a bit unbelievable at first glance, but it is also carefully conceived by him, so there is no flaw that cannot be explained.

"Since my grandfather, our Hu family has been conducting research on weapons, especially artillery, because at that time they thought that the reason why China was bullied was because the weapons were inferior to the foreigners, but people abroad did not dare to produce the results of their research, because once it was made public, it would definitely be obtained by the foreigners, and the output of the great powers far exceeded that of China, which would inevitably be ten times and a hundred times that of China, but further widened the gap between China and the great powers, so this formed a paradox. We can't beat foreigners because our weapons are inferior, but even if China has new weapons, the gap between China and the great powers is even greater," Hu Weidong said vividly, as if it were all real people, "I lost all my family in a big explosion, and only I survived because I was studying in Japan"

"As a result, in addition to my grief, I finally realized that the development of the military industry alone could not save China, so I decided to return to China to find the answer, but I accidentally came across a book by our chairman, from which I realized (that is, the meaning of my own derivation, not directly mentioned in the article,) that 'it is not one or two advanced weapons that determine the outcome of a war, but people.' of the truth". After Hu Weidong finished speaking, he sighed lightly and said, "This is how I participated in the revolution. ”

Chen Jiageng, who had never heard this argument, suddenly felt his eyes light up, "General, do you mean that every Chinese must first strengthen themselves before China can rise again?" ”

"Not a single Chinese. It is the Chinese as a whole who are stronger than shijie. In order to achieve this goal, we must take a two-pronged approach, one is to improve the quality of each and every one of our Chinese, and the other is to organize the Chinese who are now scattered to form a joint force, of which the latter is particularly important. China has 40,000,000 people, maybe even 50,000,000 people, and even if they are inferior to the great powers in terms of individual quality, as long as these 40,000 people can unite with the outside world, the great powers will never dare to bully us again! And this. It is the main task of our Red Party now," Hu Weidong patiently elaborated.

Chen Kah Kee has lived to be in his 60s, and he has never felt that China is so hopeful as he is today, and Hu Weidong's status as an "overseas Chinese" makes him feel very close. He immediately asked his entourage to take out a huge donation from Tibetan Haode, and enthusiastically asked Hu Weidong what he was most lacking in the Soviet area now.

"It's a pity that it's all fiat currency, and it can only be reserved for the use of the personnel in the white area", Hu Weidong felt a little regretful in his heart, but his face was grateful. He said that the Red Army would fight bravely to kill the enemy and never disappoint the high hopes of overseas Chinese, and at the same time said euphemistically, "Although talent is the key to determining the outcome of the war." But having a powerful weapon is definitely better than not having one, and buying it alone is not always an option. So what we lack most now in our base areas is the ability to manufacture and produce weapons and ammunition, that is. Machinery and talents are what we lack the most, followed by some resources that are not produced in the base areas, such as rubber, and hard currencies that can be exchanged for these three things, such as gold and silver, pounds, and dollars."

Chen Jiageng is so smart, he suddenly realized that Hu Weidong alluded to the poor purchasing power of fiat currency, and couldn't help but blame himself for not thinking about it, for them, overseas Chinese, what they hold is foreign exchange, and there will be some losses when they exchange it for national currency, but in the end, they find that what people urgently need is foreign exchange, why is this so painful? Chen Jiageng, whose face was a little ugly, couldn't help asking, "Don't you need anything else here?" ”…,

Hu Weidong confidently and regretfully replied, "The purpose of our party is to liberate and develop the productive forces, as long as there are conditions for production, the base areas can basically be self-sufficient, but there is no way to plant live rubber trees in the Central Plains no matter how hard we work, right?" So we still have to make straw sandals, but we can't help it, we can't wear cloth shoes when it rains, and the number of rubber shoes seized is too small, and the style is not suitable."

"This bag is on us, Nanyang is hard to say, there is rubber, and there are also many rubber shoe factories, how much you need, Nanyang can supply as much as you need!" , Chen Jiageng replied angrily.

When Hu Weidong heard this, he immediately took this opportunity to ask the guards to take out the "liberation shoes" pattern that he had drawn a few days ago and had originally wanted to take abroad to order, "That's great, our Red Army now needs 2 million pairs of rubber shoes, and I have already designed the style, as for the price."

"Two million pairs?" , Chen Jiageng couldn't help but be taken aback, how many people are there in the Red Army, why do you need so many pairs of military shoes?

"With our training intensity, soldiers have to change a pair of rubber shoes every 2-3 months, and if it is during the war, it has to be replaced in 1 month or even less, considering the difficulty of purchasing, we also need to have enough reserves, so 2 million pairs is not much." , Hu Weidong said this in his mouth, but he slandered in his heart, "Where is 2 million pairs enough?" With the development speed of our Red Army, 5 million pairs may not be enough, but all military supplies must be self-reliant, especially in the future, after the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the sea route will be cut off, if you rely too much on foreign purchases, it will be very passive at that time, so you can only buy so much for the time being."

"I see, no wonder you were able to beat the Japanese to the ground, the Kuomintang army training is not so hard", Chen Jiageng couldn't help nodding secretly after hearing this, and then promised, "It is my Chen's honor to be able to help your army, how can I collect money?" ”

"It seems that most of the donations this time are Chen Kah Kee's own money, and it is also that until the decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese who are close to the Red Party are relatively minority, but Chen Kah Kee, you are about to go bankrupt, how can we be embarrassed to fall into the ground?" After hearing this, Hu Weidong thought so in his heart, and hurriedly said, "How can this work?" And we are also ready to purchase at least 10,000 tons of rubber, we can't ask for it in vain, right? There are contacts to last! ”

Chen Jiageng had nothing to say now, so he nodded and replied, "Then let's price it at 2 yuan a pair." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
