Chapter 115: Destroying the Family
The chief of staff got married, and the cousin had arranged to go to his house for a drink, but he didn't want his grandfather to call and ask him to go back to the meeting. The chief of staff also honestly explained what was going on! The chief of staff's wife is the little girl she brought back from Zhenba County, and she should be twenty now, and she is also an older young woman. When the chief of staff came back from injury, the person who the cousin arranged to take care of the chief of staff was this girl, and they fell in love with each other for a long time. Uncle Tang was happy about the choice of the chief of staff, he was considered an old man, and he also got rid of a surveillance burden; The grandfather was unhappy and told the chief of staff that he could only marry a concubine and not a wife; To marry a wife, he will find the right person. The chief of staff did not agree, saying that this is the only one who has a wife and concubine! No wonder Grandpa didn't tell himself about the marriage of the chief of staff.
The chief of staff had to make up a congratulatory gift another day.
Back in the county seat, it was already afternoon. I went directly to my grandfather's study, where my grandfather and second uncle, my uncle and my housekeeper's grandfather were already waiting. Grandpa took out a telegram from abroad and showed me a telegram from abroad, while briefly talking about the recent situation.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the arms sales were only more than 3 million legal currency, the Communist Party and the provincial government bought some of them, and the Sichuan army sold half of them and gave away some of them; Nearly 100 fiat dollars have been spent on donating to the Anti-Japanese War. The business of Minsheng Factory is very prosperous, reducing the supply of goods from Shanghai and Pingjin, and it is inevitable that Shaanxi products will be in short supply. The most profitable is still medicine, which sold more than 2 tons, which is nearly 10 million legal currency. also rely on these funds to maintain the production of the arsenal, otherwise it would have been scattered long ago. I don't pay much attention to these things, just look at the contents of the telegram.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Aunt Liu couldn't sit still in Switzerland and telegraphed to return to China or return to the United States to work. Those who participated in the training in the United States could not sit still and asked to return to China to participate in the war; Basically, they still obeyed the arrangement, and two of them who did not listen had left on their own, and the cousin on the telegram also indicated that he had notified the recommending side.
Stephen's telegram said that the development of the aircraft was on track, that only one prototype had been destroyed during the test flight, and that there were no fatalities. It is estimated that injuries are inevitable.
Samuel telegraphed that the 3100 horsepower engine was successfully verified, and asked whether it was produced, and the small horsepower engine has not been broken.
Lao Chen telegraphed that all the supplies were in place, and the Chongqing affairs had been properly arranged.
Woody's telegram was mainly to report on the arrival of supplies to Hong Kong and Macau.
My uncle's telegram was basically a report of good news and not bad news.
Isaac's telegram is a telegram of regular greetings, the language of the greeting is different, it represents the change of income, it is a prescribed secret language, and only the two of us know the meaning. The income of drugs is basically stable at more than 2 million US dollars per month, except for the time when the Germans have made it, the income has fluctuated, and now it is stable, and the price of Germany is very tacitly in line with us. The investment income is very substantial, far exceeding the income from medicines, and the long-term investment is increasing in value faster than Isaac expected.
Other telegram contents, either the previous ones, or do not need to be replied to.
Everyone reported on the recent events, and finally the grandfather asked, "What do you say about the future behavior, the little thing?" ”
After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I'll put forward my opinion, and everyone will consider it!" Businesses outside Shaanxi need manpower, and someone needs to go to Macau to take charge, bring people to manage it, and let Woody go back to the United States, where he is even more needed. The United States has too few people of its own, and only my uncle and Dawu can take charge on their own, and they need manpower support. ”
Grandpa replied very simply: "Yes, Macau will let the housekeeper go to the town, and he will arrange who to bring himself." On the U.S. side, I'll talk to your grandfather about it. ”
"It is recommended that grandpa and grandpa clean up all the land in their hands, and the people of this clan who are unwilling to go abroad will give land, not more, not more than 10 acres per person; The amount to the tenant should not exceed 5 acres per person, which is considered a reward for several generations, and the remainder, part of which was sold, and the proceeds were donated to the Anti-Japanese War, and part of it was established by the provincial government to set up two invalids farms, so that some disabled soldiers could live, and they would not be allowed to shed blood and tears. The rest of the ethnic group all moved to the United States and Macao, and I gave my grandfather and grandfather $2 million in compensation to compensate them for setting up a business in the United States and Macau.
We sold our shares in the Minsheng Factory, and the proceeds were used by Uncle Xiao to openly set up a refugee relief fund to purchase a large amount of food, and a large number of refugees will pour in. Uncle organized our Li family and Zhou family to get ready. We want this fame!
Of course, one aspect is that we should do this, and when the whole country is suffering, if we sit on a large amount of land, or even spend a lot of time drinking, I am afraid it will not be a blessing for the family. On the other hand, at present, the Nationalist Government and the Communist Party are very wary of us and are not friendly! Haha, it's not that we resist Japan, people have to be grateful to us, we take the money, but people take their lives. We must be on guard and take precautions! ”
Everyone was silent with their own hearts, and they didn't speak anymore, they didn't agree, and they couldn't force anything.
It was the grandfather who spoke first: "Little thing, I don't know why you said this is so serious, but I believe you, and your judgment has been proved right during this time." Everything else is up to you, if little Japan is not kicked out, I won't leave! I don't have the power to move the ancestral property handed down from the clan, I will hand it over to the next patriarch, and do the rest according to what you say. ”
"I'm not going abroad, I'll go to Macau to sit in the town, and let your housekeeper grandfather go to the United States to sit in the town; Land, I bought and I sold! Other people's I don't count, I can't care! Grandpa said!
Stand up and kowtow to grandpa and grandpa yourself!
"Grandpa, grandpa; Since we are ruining our family, we must comply with our regulations by selling the property in the commercial newspaper and asking a third party to supervise the process and supervise the use of funds. It is suggested that the second uncle should be in charge of the Invalides Farm, and the younger uncle should be in charge of the refugee relief; The cousin should be careful not to let the refugees storm the industrial zone, and he should pay attention to the establishment of air defense positions, and the chief of staff will make specific plans for the positions. ”
After everyone expressed their support, they continued: "Please ask the second uncle to apply to the provincial government for a number of anti-Japanese war behind enemy lines, and we will organize an armed force to fight behind enemy lines, on the one hand, so that we can justifiably participate in the anti-Japanese war, and on the other hand, after all, more people in our family will stay in the local area, and we must fight for them to have some survival capital after the anti-Japanese war!"
The chief of staff and his cousin, cousin, second uncle, and uncle don't have to think about it, there is basically no living space after the Anti-Japanese War, and it is easy to arrange the family out! I've been through a sea of corpses, don't expect others to remember a little bit of our contribution.
All the people who need to be relocated, except for carrying them with them, there is nothing else worth carrying; It is necessary to leave Shaanxi and go to Hong Kong within a month to make a diversion place, and the subsequent journey is too risky. If they don't leave during this period, it is certain that they will choose not to leave in the end. At that time, Uncle Cousin and the Chief of Staff arranged for the protection of the road. ”
After a pause, he continued with a moist throat: "I plan to leave behind enemy lines in half a month to have a look, and if the number comes down in time, the chief of staff will accompany me." The main thing is to look at the situation of the War of Resistance behind enemy lines, and to make arrangements for our War of Resistance behind enemy lines, so that in the future, the chief of staff will mainly command the War of Resistance behind enemy lines in Shaanxi, but he will no longer be allowed to go to the front line. If I had the chance, I would have gotten a plane or something, and the chief of staff would have been needed even more. At the front, there is a chief of staff who arranges the team leader. ”
"Chongqing's affairs, waiting for an opportunity, donated in the name of grandpa."
Returning to the regimental headquarters office, he began to reply to the telegrams one by one.
Telegraphed Dawu and arranged for someone to take Aunt Liu to Missouri, USA, to take care of Xiaoya and reorganize the laboratory.
telegraphed to Woody that the personnel from Xi'an would go to Hong Kong and return to the United States with those who had gone to the United States; Hong Kong and Macao matters can be handed over to designated personnel.

Telegraph Stephen, secret report on the current aircraft parameters.
Telegram to my uncle, informing the housekeeper that the grandfather was taking someone to the United States.
Telegram Isaac, a word of greetings.
