Chapter 196 British Calculations 1

On the night of December 8, 1940, Qijiang County, Garrison Headquarters

After the military meeting, there was originally a reception reception, but Li Yunlong was very reluctant to this kind of reception, and after quietly giving the gift to the highest authority from the air marshal, he easily got out, this is a personal gift from the leader and deputy leader of the world's first power, and there is no comparison with those so-called national gifts, this is a symbol of personal friendship.

The highest authorities were very satisfied with Li Yunlong, and immediately let him, the protagonist of the drinking party, be lazy, in the name of sympathy for his subordinates, but in fact, he didn't want this product to be too showy, isn't there Xie Jinyuan, with the hot screening of "Eight Hundred", this person has become second only to Li Yunlong at home and abroad.

As soon as he returned to Qijiang County, Li Yunlong did not go to see Zhao Xiuqin, but immediately convened a military meeting to deal with the backlog of various official affairs during his visit.

It's just that when talking about today's military meeting, many people look puzzled.

"Lao Li, this is wrong, how can a military conference of such a scale be deployed to hold an enlarged meeting of the Ministry of Military Affairs?" It was Ding Wei who spoke, although Zhao Gang was the nominal chief of staff, but he was still doing the work of the political commissar, and the deputy chief of staff Xie Jinyuan was not in charge of things, so a lot of the work of the chief of staff was done by Ding Wei.

"Lao Ding, isn't it normal to have a high-level military meeting when this is going to be a big battle? The war of two million people, obediently, the highest authorities are really generous. Kong Jie sighed is the big move of the Shancheng government, after 1938, the elite of the national army was lost, and it has been a long time since such a big move.

"Lao Kong, are you stupid, as far as the national army's ability to keep secrets, I'm afraid that this battle plan will be sent to the devil as soon as the meeting is over, and there is no way to talk about confidentiality. Ding Wei couldn't help but complain.

"Lao Ding, this is a campaign-level operation, and if you want to achieve absolute secrecy, you can't do it at all, okay?" Kong Jie put down the dry tobacco pouch and argued, let alone a devil, even the Eighth Route Army is the same, the larger the combat operation, the more difficult it is to achieve absolute secrecy.

"Lao Li, are you only halfway through what you said?" Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong's expression of watching the play, and then understood.

"Let's say okay first, I also listened to what Comrade Hu Bicheng said, and it has nothing to do with military operations." Li Yunlong smiled and pretended to say mysteriously.

"Lao Li, don't hold it back, hurry up!" Zhao Gang glanced at Li Yunlong dissatisfied.

"Last month, Britain and the government signed a contract of 50 million pounds of tungsten sand, the price is very good, Britain used a warship to transport 50 million pounds of tungsten sand directly from Fujian Province, and then, simply pay, buy it at the market price." Li Yunlong opened his mouth leisurely to explain, the key to this sentence is in the end, the most expensive tungsten ore can be sold for 16,000 pounds a ton, and a pound can be worth ten oceans during this period, and a ton of tungsten sand is 160,000 oceans, but in fact, a ton of tungsten sand from the Shancheng government can be sold for thousands of oceans, and this shot is more than 100,000 oceans a ton, which is definitely abnormal.

And you don't see that Britain is desperately buying tungsten sand, in fact, they are not short of tungsten sand, the reason why they are desperately buying is to prevent Hans from obtaining tungsten sand, for the tungsten sand in the hands of the mountain city government, they don't even want to look at it, anyway, Hans can't ship it back to Europe, this deal should be a deal to a large extent.

"So, there is a shadow of the Britons in this great counteroffensive?" Ding Wei interjected, with a serious expression on his face, it is not a good thing for one country's military and political affairs to be affected by another country.

"Recently, Japan has been preaching that 'Asia is the Asia of Asians,' and jumping up and down to shout for the expulsion of colonizers and the construction of a Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere, and the Britons are scared." Zhao Gang nodded on the side, with the outbreak of the European war, the War of Resistance against Japan and the European war gradually interacted with each other, but I don't know if this is a good thing, after all, from the current point of view, the situation of the Britons is really not optimistic.

"50 million pounds, more than 500 million oceans, I'm a good girl, why is this so much money!" Kong Jie on the side sighed for a long time, to say that the Eighth Route Army is not what it used to be, but so much money is unimaginable for the Eighth Route Army.

"What's the use of more money, Comrade Hu Bicheng said that the government has paid 10 million pounds of government bonds in the past few days, which is still the bonds of the Beiyang government." Li Yunlong pursed his lips, if you want to say that the air marshal's goods are also a proper huge greed, but people also want to be embarrassed, and they will definitely not affect the country's finances because of their greed, but on their own side, the payment of national bonds during the Anti-Japanese War, or the payment of worthless junk debts in the bond market, this is really shameless.

"How dare they!" Zhao Gang said hatefully, his fist clenched with a straight sound, obviously the always elegant political commissar Zhao was already out of anger.

"Lao Li, Lao Zhao, why didn't I understand, shouldn't this national debt be paid by the state?" Kong Jie said dissatisfiedly.

"Lao Kong, the treasury bonds during the Beiyang government period were junk bonds in the market, and the value was not even one percent of the original, so it is said that even if the government cashed the treasury bonds, it was paid in proportion to the fiat currency, and the full amount was directly paid with foreign exchange. Zhao Gang made an explanation for Li Yunlong, to say that this is really not an uncommon thing, those people have been doing this kind of thing since the day they took power, and they will always sing the government's policies crookedly, to say that the highest authorities are also miserable, the brother-in-law is like this, the brother-in-law is still like this, there is no one who is worry-free, he is still a master who is afraid of his daughter-in-law, and he is eaten to death by this family.

"His grandmother has a leg, and this Nima is shameless." Kong Jie wanted to take someone to the Ministry of Finance to kill that fat man at this time, and it was easy to get tens of millions of pounds, and he might have to sacrifice countless soldiers for this batch of money in the future, but they even dared to put this money in their pockets.
