It turned out that in addition to a small part of the gold and silver donated by Fu Ruiwu for his own use, the amount of gold and silver donated to the central government was also quite large. After a comprehensive analysis and a report to the central authorities for approval, Commander Yang Guofu preliminarily drew up a plan for transferring goods to the outside world by three routes.

The first way is by land. Referring to the usual practice of the gold transport detachment of the Eighth Route Army in the Jiaodong area: the officers and soldiers of the transport detachment were scattered and carried, across the Hebei-Shandong border area and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area, and secretly passed through the Japanese puppet defense area and the Kuomintang defense area in the middle, and transferred to Yan'an. It is characterized by a long distance and a long journey, passing through many enemy-occupied areas and nationally controlled areas, and the danger is not small. However, due to the scattered transportation, concealed travel, and the response of local comrades along the way, the reliability is greater, and it has always been the main transportation channel for Jiaodong gold. The only downside to this route is that the number of shipments at one time is not too large.

The second way is to take the water route. Secretly departing from the mouth of the Yellow River, passing through Yantai or Qingdao, the gold was transferred to Hong Kong, passing through the Communist Party office in Hong Kong, and temporarily deposited in foreign banks in the name of Hong Kong capital as a financial reserve of the central government. This road is relatively safe, the disadvantage is that it is temporarily stored overseas, it is not very convenient to use, and it is not immediately convenient to meet temporary urgent needs.

The third way is to take the bright road. That is, arrange personnel to pretend to be caravans, transport goods, carry gold, and try to break through the layers of checkpoints to transport the gold to Yan'an. Along the way, we have to face wars and strife everywhere, and we need to respond flexibly and at the same time have a strong background.

After listening to Wu Zhong's story, Yun Shangyi, who was sitting in the chair, couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After being silent for a long time, Yun Shangyi slowly stood up and expressed his opinion to Wu Zhong:

It turned out that in the recent period, especially after the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese invaders further strengthened their expansion and control over northern and northwest China, resulting in Yun Shangyi's secret trade routes to the Soviet Union, Outer Mongolia and other places that he had painstakingly operated for several years, and they were also blocked and cut off. This overland trade route, if you want to move forward again, must be full of difficulties. Therefore, it is very dangerous to pretend to be a caravan to carry a secret transport, so it is not recommended.

In view of the current development of the situation, it would be a good idea to hide this part on the spot first and then deal with it at an opportune time.

As for the other method of taking the land route, although the number of ants moving is small and the time span is long, because of the transportation experience and assistance of the Jiaodong team, it is a more mature plan at present. Moreover, at present, as soon as possible, we should try to find ways to transport a batch to Yan'an, which can also effectively alleviate the difficulties faced by the central government, so we must make the trip as soon as possible.

As for the idea of transferring to Hong Kong by water, because Qingdao is currently occupied by the Japanese, for the sake of insurance, it should not start from Qingdao, but should be transferred to Tianjin Port.

Yun Shangyi said with certainty that after many years of deliberate operation and dredging of this road by himself and his second brother Yun Shangxiao, coupled with the recent experience of foreign trade and goods, the certainty is still relatively large. Moreover, now since the second brother Yun Shangxiao moved to Hong Kong, I believe that the relationship in all aspects should have been laid in place.

Finally, Yun Shangyi immediately said: The company just has a batch of lint to be shipped to the south recently, and can take the opportunity to transfer the gold to Hong Kong. A few days ago, all the goods are ready, and you can start immediately.

After listening to Yun Shangyi's analysis, Wu Zhong also felt that it was very reasonable, so he immediately returned to the station and made a detailed report to Commander Yang Guofu.

It didn't take long for Yun Shangyi and his entourage to escort the vehicle full of goods and embark on the journey south to Hong Kong non-stop and in a hurry......
