Chapter 61 Preparing for a trip to Tianjin
By the time it dawned, it was almost six o'clock. Arrange to plant explosives on the north and south city walls, and set off with an order! The car came out and was about to arrive at Chenjiatan when he heard the explosion in the county seat, and retreated in the order in which he came! On the way back from the bandit-controlled area, I came across the village again, and when I heard the sound of cars from a distance, I could see people fleeing in all directions, and the village was silent. The sniper team is still a great guarantee of safety, and only if someone is watching with that gun, it must be a shot. The guys who operated the machine guns were even more excessive, and there were a few rounds 3 miles away, so that the snipers didn't have to fight! Except for the driver who was tired when he left the bandit area, the others were drowsy, so they had to arrange a guard, and the others rested, fortunately, there were bedding and fur coats.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived at the militia barracks, and Uncle Cousin personally greeted him at the door! The car was arranged directly back to the training camp. He exchanged a few words with his uncle, and arranged for the chief of staff to supervise and urge tomorrow to make a summary of individuals, teams, squads, and the whole, emphasizing confidentiality. Uncle Tang urged the inventory of the seizures, guns and ammunition and other militia groups sold together, opium Uncle Tang took care of it, and the others were sent to Xi'an for grandpa and grandpa to deal with, the work was carried out by the action personnel, and other personnel were not allowed to participate, and the uncle arranged to bring back the little girl, the chief of staff knew the specific situation, and it helped us a lot to seize it, so don't treat it badly and don't relax the supervision. Once the little girl leaks the secret, we will be sorry for how to deal with it. I saw two abrasions, that is, only bleeding.
Take Dawu back to Xi'an, you can't let grandpa and grandpa worry.
Grandpa, grandpa and housekeeper grandpa have been waiting for us to eat! My heart is warm, and it feels good to have family! I happily ate my grandfather's welcome banquet. The housekeeper's grandfather sent Dawu away, personally serving tea and pouring water in the study, so that he got up and sat down to follow suit. Seeing that Grandpa and Grandpa were anxious to understand the situation, they had to make a simple report: "Grandpa, Grandpa and Grandpa Housekeeper, the operation can be said to be very smooth, when they arrived in the area controlled by the bandits, they were killed all the way, and they were killed all the way to the county and then killed, and there were probably more than 200 bandits eliminated." The resistance was slight, and it is now clear that a large number of bandits fled to Sichuan to fight the Red Army, and the county seat was extremely empty; Then there was the surprise attack, the bandits were not organized, and we did not move the ordinary bandits except for the big bandit leaders, so there was no major resistance. There were only two minor bruises.
It is estimated that the seizure will not be too large, there are more than 200 guns, which cannot be sold for a few dollars, a batch of antique calligraphy and paintings is not clear in value, and then it is necessary to see how much gold is inside, if it is all silver or ocean, it will not exceed 100,000 oceans, and set aside 10 percent as bonuses and 20 percent as pension funds. Of course, the purpose of the operation was not this, and when he retreated, he blew up his so-called arsenal, mint, and city walls. Although we were all masked when we acted this time, the car was the biggest clue, and we still had to be careful of retaliation, and I would arrange personnel to take precautions in a few days. ”
"The biggest gain this time is that whether the soldiers see blood or not, they have improved their confidence and courage! After all, these two things can only be cultivated by victory! The other way is to do more with less, and only victory can get twice the result with half the effort. There were about a dozen disciples of the Li family who participated, although there were few, but they were seeds! After all, they hadn't experienced a battle before, but the little grandfather performed well! is worthy of being a person who has really been on the battlefield, and he is worthy of being grandpa's younger brother! ”
In a word, grandpa twisted his beard with only three and a half roots left, laughing, how can the military home be comparable to the home of a businessman! The angry grandfather snorted twice.
"Little thing, you made me worry when you were angry, but now it's good, and you do it to worry me. What are you going to do next? Going to Tianjin? Grandpa asked directly.
"Grandpa, it's the grandson's unfilial piety that worries you."
"Baby, don't listen to that old thing, everything you eat is delicious, have you worried about it?"
"Yes, Grandpa, Grandpa; I'm going to go to Tianjin. Grandpa's words couldn't be answered, "There is no skill in the doppelganger, and things in Shanghai are about to start, and the housekeeper and grandfather need to work harder!" ”
"Haha, little master, I'm getting younger and younger. You said! ”
"Grandpa, grandpa, butler, the United States is ready to raise the price of silver."
"Oh, the silver is going to be expensive?"
"Yes, Grandpa! The Americans produce more than 60% of the world's silver, and it will be difficult for China to resist if it wants to raise the price! It must be us who will suffer, and China will lose this financial war, and the Americans, British, and Japanese will all get cheap. A large outflow of silver from China is inevitable, and the smuggling of foreigners in China cannot be controlled by the government, especially since the Japanese control the northeast, and in Tianjin, Shandong, and Shanghai, the Chinese government has a strength that cannot be controlled. It is estimated that the Chinese government will also find paper money, maybe it will be forced to exchange silver, grandpa and grandpa be careful of bank deposits, Dayang is better to raise in advance. ”
"yes!" Grandpa sighed.
"It is estimated that in a year, the price of silver will quadruple. This year will make many Chinese enterprises bankrupt, and then a large number of personnel will be recruited in Shanghai, Tianjin, and Taiyuan, and equipment for bankrupt enterprises will be purchased, and some help will be given to those who are on the verge of bankruptcy and can be brought to Shaanxi. If you can sell gold, sell it first. ”
"Little master, say it! Let me do what? ”
"Grandpa housekeeper, I have arranged a financial expert in the United States, and I can't fully trust it in a short time. From a talent perspective, I need a financial expert who can be trusted by Chinese and who is proficient in English. Let's see if we can find it, not forcefully. In addition, I made money from it, and it was also an important focus for me to start in the United States! ”
"I now have 130,000 pounds, more than 80,000 marks, 400,000 ocean ......"
"Haha, so much? Small things are the real rich people! "Grandpa was a little surprised!
"Alas, grandpa! It's not enough to spend, and you have to work hard to earn it! ”
"Grandpa Housekeeper went to Shanghai mainly to buy silver with half of the pound, and I have accounts with HSBC and Citi. Let's see if they can buy silver futures in New York and London, and if they can do the best, they can buy both. The other half is converted to dollars and deposited in Citibank, and I will remit it to the American manager to do the American silver market.
More than 80,000 marks and 400,000 oceans were brought to Tianjin to deal with the Japanese. I signed a contract with the Japanese to buy 500 Japanese guns and ammunition, as well as 10,000 pieces of Japanese cloth that could be used as military uniforms. These may be taboo in China now, and grandpa and grandpa handle them carefully. I still have to maintain relations with the Japanese, and I still need the Japanese to provide a certain amount of protection in Tianjin, so I can't let some people deal with me, the "son of a traitor", unscrupulously! Grandpa, I need my uncle's advice and help when I go to Tianjin. ”
"I arranged it, it just so happens that your uncle is coming back from Taiyuan." Grandpa said.
"Okay, I'm arranging something when my uncle comes back!" Write a check and hand it to the housekeeper's grandfather.
He sent a telegram asking Isaac Kozak to provide his bank and account number in the United States.
Back in Yongshou, Uncle Tang and the chief of staff reported the situation. Uncle Cousin said that the inventory of seizures was completed. There were 211 rifles with 20,000 rounds of ammunition, 4 60 mortars, 12 various machine guns; The others were not counted and sent to Xi'an. The chief of staff said that he summed up the situation, and it was so easy that everyone did not expect; The battle is not fierce, and everyone feels that it is not enjoyable; Instead, the snipers sensed something, and 90 percent of it was eliminated by them, and the assaulters eliminated 10 percent.
"Chief of Staff, after summarizing the necessary process after the formation of the system, operations and exercises. Let each participant sum up what are the deficiencies and whether there are any improvements, and evaluate the deficiencies and problems of the command from each person's point of view. Officers should be able to listen to the opinions and views of others, and the problems that soldiers see are often ignored by us, and being humble will give us more opportunities to improve our command level. ”
"Well said!" Uncle Cousin and Chief of Staff were in favor.
