"The two chiefs, the regiment commander, and the political commissar, the equipment I just mentioned is just a small head that we captured this time!"

"Is the equipment of an integrator still just a small head?" The deputy chief of staff was stunned and stared at Huang Yuanqiang in disbelief.

Soon, his face was covered with a huge surprise: "Block, tell us, what is the big head seized this time?" ”

Commander Chen also stared at Huang Yuanqiang with a pair of eyes, and then looked at Huang Yuanqiang expectantly.

"Yes, Chief!" Huang Yuanqiang affirmed.

Then he took out a list and reported: "The largest seizures were materials and ammunition, of which Israeli supplies accounted for the majority. Including 60,000 Devil Army coats, 60,000 sets of winter combat uniforms, and 60,000 blankets. If these uniforms are equipped separately for the troops, they can at least meet the winter needs of our 120,000 Eighth Route Army. ”

"In addition, there are 12 million catties of grain, 250 tons of canned food, and 5 tons of medicines......"

This time, it was Commander Chen who was the first to react, and while he was excited, he directly interrupted as the owner of this batch of materials: "Rich, really rich...... Chief of Staff, with these supplies and clothing, not only does the Taiyue Military Region no longer need to worry about food and clothing, but it can also support the northwest of Shanxi and part of the good night! ”

"Yan'an is colder than here in winter, my idea is to support Yan'an with 10,000 sets of quilts, military coats, and blankets, support 10,000 sets in the northwest of Shanxi, 10,000 sets in the Taihang Military Region, and take 10,000 sets with you when you ghost the headquarters, and the rest will stay in the Taiyue Military Region, and each military division will have 5,000 sets......"

With 5,000 sets of quilts, military coats, and blankets, with the current equipment level of the Eighth Route Army, it can fully equip 10,000 people.

All other military divisions have the main force of a brigade, plus local troops, and 5,000 sets may be just enough.

But their own four divisions are different, a main regiment plus local troops, there are only four or five thousand people at full strength, even if the troops are expanded, it will be difficult to reach 10,000 in a short period of time, five thousand sets are enough, and there are many.

Therefore, although most of the supplies flew away, Wang Ping had no opinion at all, and agreed without thinking: "Commander, I agree!" ”

Commander Chen nodded and continued: "Medicine is a good thing that the entire Eighth Route Army lacks, and you can divide this chief of staff, but the new regiment and the brigade directly under it have paid a very heavy price for this battle, and the wounded of the two armies add up to nearly two thousand. These medicines must first meet the needs of these two forces before they can be divided! ”

"In terms of food, I plan to support Yan'an with two million catties, two million jin in the northwest of Shanxi, two million jin from the Taihang base area, and the chief of staff, you bring back two million jin to the headquarters, and the rest will stay in the Taiyue Military Region, one million jin for each military subdivision, and one million jin for the troops directly under the military region!"

"I agree...... Commissar Huang, you continue! The deputy chief of staff hesitated for a few seconds and affirmed.

Huang Yuanqiang, who had been standing, continued to report: "In addition to the seizures at the railway station and the warehouses of the Japanese puppet army in Linfen City, we also seized a large number of materials and gold and silver finances in the hands of the little devil expatriates and chambers of commerce in Linfen City. ”

"I won't say much about the materials, it's too miscellaneous, and the quantity is very messy, and it hasn't been fully counted yet!"

"I'm mainly going to report on the gold and silver we have seized from these devils!"

"These include 425 catties of gold and gold ornaments, 1,653 catties of silver and silver ornaments, 686,530 pieces of ocean, and 529 pieces of antique calligraphy and painting. In addition, there were 925,600 pieces of fiat currency, 215,000 yen, 25,000 dollars, and 10,000 pounds, all of which were seized from the private coffers of several little devil presidents. ”

"What our head of the regiment means is that in addition to the 36,530 yuan left by the ocean, and the 25,600 yuan left by the fiat currency, all the remaining funds will be handed over!"

From the faces of the Chief of Staff and Commander Chen, Wang Ping saw a huge surprise.

You must know that Chongqing now distributes 600,000 or 700,000 legal dollars to the Eighth Route Army every month, and if you exchange all those gold and silver, oceans, yen, US dollars, and pounds into increasingly worthless legal currency, that will be more than a year's military pay and expenses of the Eighth Route Army.

As the direct seizer of this batch of finances, Wang Ping only left less than one percent of the finances, and the two did not disagree.

Without hesitation, the chief of staff affirmed: "I agree, but the new regiment and the brigade directly under it have paid a very heavy price for these finances, and they cannot but be seriously injured." On behalf of the Eighth Route Army, I decided that the new regiment and the brigade directly under it will be rewarded with 100,000 fiat currency respectively. As a subsistence allowance and allowance for the soldiers! ”

"Thank you, Chief!" Wang Ping affirmed.

Then he suddenly thought of something, frowned and reminded: "Chief, commander, I have an idea, I don't know if I should mention it or not?" ”

"If you have something to say, say it!" The deputy chief of staff replied.

Wang Ping hesitated for a few seconds and replied: "I hope that after the chief answers the headquarters, he can give an order to all the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, no matter what the means, immediately spend all the fiat currency in his hand in the national control area, it is best to trade with the little devil expatriates and those traitors, even if it is a loss, it doesn't matter!" ”

"What is the truth of spending it rather than owing...... Wang Ping, did you think of something again? I remember that you are also a master of economic development, and you are very discerning, did you find something? The deputy chief of staff immediately asked.

As the head of the headquarters, he knew better than Wang Ping the circulation of fiat currency in the base area and the Eighth Route Army.

Because Chongqing gave the Eighth Route Army a year or two ago, all the military salaries and funds were legal tender, and the legal tender was indeed the currency designated by Chongqing. All combined, tens of millions, or even tens of millions are possible.

What's more, in order to deal with possible accidents, whether it is Yan'an or the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, or even the base areas and main divisions below, they have reserved a lot of fiat currency for reserve as strategic funds.

If something really goes wrong with the fiat currency, not only will the people in the base areas suffer greatly, but the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and even Yan'an, will suffer huge losses.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Wang Ping's suggestion, the deputy chief of staff's face became solemn, and then looked at Wang Ping with a serious face.

Wang Ping knows that not only China, but even the whole world, does not have the word inflation.

In order to avoid huge losses in the base area, Wang Ping did not mind revealing something to attract the attention and vigilance of the two chiefs.

After organizing the thoughts in his head well, he analyzed to the two people: "Chief, don't you feel that the purchasing power of fiat currency is getting worse and worse compared to the original?" ”

"When fiat currency was first issued, a piece of ocean could be exchanged for a piece of fiat currency, and at that time there was little fiat currency. Now, if you exchange two pieces of fiat currency for someone else's ocean, others may not be willing! This is still the depreciation caused by Chongqing's failure to issue fiat currency on a large scale. If Chongqing starts issuing fiat currency on a large scale in order to feed more and more troops, I don't know if fiat currency will be money or waste paper at that time, maybe no one will agree to exchange fifty yuan of fiat currency for a piece of ocean! ”

The expression on the face of the deputy chief of staff became more serious, and he immediately understood the key to Wang Ping's words. A frown reminded.

"You mean, Chongqing will also issue fiat currency on a large scale!"

"That's for sure!" Wang Ping replied in the affirmative.

"Chongqing controls fewer and fewer provinces, and there is no tax revenue compared to 20% of the original one. Loans from abroad are limited. And they need to feed more and more troops, salaries, equipment, ammunition, supplies, all need money. Coupled with the rampant corruption in Chongqing, if he does not issue fiat currency on a large scale and print fiat currency on a large scale, he has no way to solve this problem! ”
