The Nanjing National Government, Minister Kong Xiangxi, who specializes in managing money bags for Chiang Kai-shek, is counting the latest expenses of the central government to the three northeastern provinces based on the latest news sent by the delegation to visit Northeastern.

"The total cost of 100 million oceans of purchase of weapons and equipment... The reward for Sun Liren, plus the total cost of 10 million oceans of poaching people from the armored division... The reward for Zhang Zizhong's job in the central government was 3 million oceans of total... The reward for Zhang Xuesheng's fifth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy was 100,000 oceans of total..."

As the data were read out by the deputy, Kong Xiangxi, who was very sensitive to the data, had calculated in his mind the total cost of the central government delegation visiting the three northeastern provinces: 129.35 million oceans...

Although Kong Xiangxi had mastered the finances of the entire National Government, he was still shocked by the data in his mind. You should know that the Republic of China government did not unify the country at this moment. Although the number of provinces in Jiangnan occupied by the central government was rich, the total annual fiscal revenue was only less than 200 million.

More importantly, most of the 200 million fiscal revenue is used to support the army and to various military wars launched by the central government. In addition, the large amount of money spent by local government agencies, the government's annual income was almost ineffective. If it weren't for the years of support from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols to Chiang Kai-shek, the entire National Government might have gone bankrupt due to shortage of money.

For this trip to the Northeast, under the instructions of Lao Chiang, Kong Xiangxi prepared 50 million oceans through various aspects. However, because of the sudden purchase of weapons, the 50 million oceans he had worked hard to raise was not enough to buy weapons. So, with Lao Chiang's approval, Kong Xiangxi began to borrow from major domestic chaebols and even foreign banks, and finally raised the remaining 70 million again to meet all the needs of this trip to the Northeast.

However, the central government's trip to the northeast was satisfied, especially after a large number of Soviet-style equipment began to continuously arm the Central Army. The entire National Government owed a lot of debts. According to Kong Xiangxi, in the next year, the entire National Government would not spend a penny except the army to pay off these debts.

After counting various data, Kong Xiangxi, who was conscientious and responsible, reported the result to Lao Chiang as soon as possible. As the chairman of the National Government, although this trip to the Northeast caused the government to have a lot of debts, compared with the results achieved on this trip, Lao Chiang was very satisfied.

Not to mention the Soviet-style equipment and a large number of heavy weapons that can arm hundreds of thousands of troops, leaving the National Government with hundreds of millions of oceans of funds. To put it, the large number of military and political talents that the government "digs" from the National Defense Forces, in the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek, as long as these talents leave the National Defense Forces, it will cause a huge blow to the National Defense Forces. Not only that, it will also bring a large number of military and political talents to the Central Government Forces, allowing the Central Government Forces to form the combat power of the National Defense Forces in the shortest time.

Lao Jiang, who was full of confidence in the conspiracy he used, did not expect that the more than 20 million oceans he threw out were completely meat buns and dogs to beat dogs without returning. In the National Defense Forces, all military and political talents who had been "buyed" by him with the oceans were hiding in his home and counting their own gains in this operation of plotting Lao Jiang.

When the time was getting closer and closer to the agreed time between the two sides. Lao Chiang, who was in charge of the Nanjing central government, had already done a good job of watching the show to see if there would be civil strife after the National Defense Force lost so many outstanding military and political talents at one time. Dai Li, who had stepped up the collection of intelligence on the three northeastern provinces, knocked on Lao Chiang's office door with embarrassment.

Looking at the intriguing old Jiang in front of him, Dai Li, who had been hesitating for a minute, stood in front of him and hesitated for a minute, he still plucked up the courage to speak: "Principal, it seems that something happened in the Northeast..."

"Uh..." Old Jiang, who was in high spirits, did not notice the increasingly serious expression on Dai Li's face. He still asked Dai Li in front of him with excitement: "Yunnong, did the former National Defense Force officer who promised us have left the National Defense Force one step ahead of time and caused civil strife in the National Defense Force..."

Facing the expectant look of Lao Jiang looking at him, Dai Li, who had disappointed Lao Jiang many times, wanted to nod to Lao Jiang. However, after a brief contemplation, he shook his head with a heavy expression and replied to Lao Jiang: "Principal, I disappoint you... The hundreds of National Defense Forces officers who promised us not only did not leave the National Defense Forces, but also lost contact with us... This is the intelligence just summarized by the Northeast Intelligence Bureau. The intelligence officers responsible for contacting more than 100 National Defense Forces officers have all lost contact with the headquarters, and their lives and deaths are uncertain..."

"What..." At this time, Lao Jiang was like a leopard suddenly angry, staring at Dai Li in front of him. Then, he asked Dai Li with a slight nervous expression in front of him, "How could this happen... Could it be that what we did in the Northeast were discovered by the National Defense Forces, and the relevant personnel responsible for contacting these officers were also controlled by the National Defense Forces..."

Dai Li shook his head with a embarrassed look and replied: "Report to the principal, I don't know the specific situation. I have ordered the Northeast Intelligence Bureau to find out the matter as soon as possible. However, one student can be sure that our plan to spend a lot of money to poach people from the National Defense Forces has gone bankrupt..."

"Bang..." The glass held in Lao Jiang's hand became the target of Lao Jiang's anger without any warning. With a crisp sound of glass breaking sound in the office, the glass cup containing a full half of a glass of water was directly smashed by Lao Jiang.

Then, he roared loudly at Dai Li in front of him, "My mother, how could such a perfect plan go bankrupt...Yunnong, you have to know that for this plan, the central government has paid 30 million oceans. 30 million oceans...If you use it to buy the Soviet-style weapons in the hand of the National Defense Force, it is not impossible to equip a 100,000 army. Now, you actually told me that all the money has been wasted..."

After the roar, a pair of murderous eyes moved to Dai Li again, and continued to ask with the last glimmer of hope: "Yunnong, tell me the truth, is there any possibility of recovery of the entire plan... 30 million oceans account for one and a half of the government's annual fiscal revenue. Such a huge amount of funds was thrown into the three northeastern provinces, so it must not even splash a little...."

Dai Li replied in a serious tone: "Report to the principal. Is there still room for recovery? The students are not clear yet. However, the students can guarantee that as long as the students understand the specific situation of the matter, they will do everything possible to recover the matter..."

"Okay..." Hearing this sentence, Lao Jiang's angry face finally showed a faint look of joy. He promised Dai Li in front of him with great satisfaction: "Yunnong, your first priority now is to do this. As long as this matter is done, I can guarantee you that the Intelligence Department will be upgraded to the Intelligence Bureau and enhance your status in the central government..."

"Thank you, the principal, the students will definitely live up to the principal's high expectations..."

After Dai Li left Lao Chiang's office with his vision for the future, more than 100 officers at all levels who had just disappeared for two days appeared in everyone's sight again.

Faced with this news, the intelligence bureau of the central government, located in the three northeastern provinces, quickly sent new intelligence personnel to various places to contact the officer who had already discussed with him. However, what surprised the intelligence bureau of the central government was that more than 100 officers had met, but they denied whether they had ever been involved in the affairs of the central government's oceans...

The headquarters of the National Defense Army Armored Division, looking at the senior who was shocked in front of him, Sun Liren calmly took a sip of tea. He replied in a faint tone: "Senior, don't make a mistake... When did I promise you to serve in the central government... Also, when did I receive 10 million oceans of you, I hope you don't swear. Besides, just 10 million oceans of the oceans of the United States want me to give up the position of commander of the National Defense Army Armored Division. The principal looked down on me too much at Sun Liren. To tell the senior, the armored division I commanded has reached an astonishing ten million oceans with just one year of military expenditure...."

Facing Sun Liren, who had suddenly changed into a different person when he didn't see him for two days. The senior sitting in front of Sun Liren was not a fool, and immediately discovered some of the problems.

After a brief thought, he asked Sun Liren in front of him with a blunt voice: "Teacher Sun, for the sake of his old classmates, I hope you will tell the truth... From the beginning of our meeting, have you made the decision not to leave the National Defense Force? As for meeting me again and again next, there is only one reason, that is, the 10 million ocean reward given to you by the principal?"

Sun Liren did not affirm or deny it.

After taking a sip of tea again, I continued to say calmly to the senior in front of me: "Senior, I won't say much about other things. I just want to tell you that only in the National Defense Forces can I realize my dream of killing enemies and serving the country since I was a child. Therefore, after entering the National Defense Forces and meeting Commander-in-Chief Li of the National Defense Forces, I have never thought of leaving the National Defense Forces. I am a member of the National Defense Forces, and die is a ghost of the National Defense Forces..."

"I understand..." From Sun Liren's answer, the senior general who sat in front of Sun Liren had already understood many problems. After sighing, he knew that he had been fooled, and still held the last glimmer of hope, reminded Sun Liren in front of him: "Supervisor Sun, as an old classmate, I would like to remind you kindly once again... In more than a week, you took away the entire ten million oceans that the principal intended to give you from me. You are not worried that Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Army would be suspicious of you because of these ten million oceans, and will no longer trust you, and even transferred you from the position of Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Army Armored Division..."

Hearing the word "suspect", Sun Liren not only did not show any worry, but instead flashed a trace of ridicule from the bottom of his heart and retorted to the senior in front of him: "Senior, do you think our commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces is like the principal, and he is full of suspicion about everyone and never trusts his subordinates..."

"Since things have been done, I am not afraid to tell you. Only five million oceans will eventually fall into my own hands after the ten million oceans you get from your hands. As for the remaining five million oceans, I had handed over to the General Command of the National Defense Forces two days ago to serve as the military pay for hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the National Defense Forces in the next few months."

"In addition, for the sake of old classmates, I will tell you another secret.... The more than 100 middle and senior officers of the National Defense Forces you contacted all handed over half of the oceans obtained from the central government, that is, the principal, within these two days, to serve as military expenses for hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the National Defense Forces. Your Chairman Chiang, our principal, was once again deceived by our commander-in-chief... If it was not my surprise, the central government would once again lose 30 million oceans in the three northeastern provinces..."

Speaking of this, another sarcastic smile flashed across Sun Liren's face. He sighed at the bloody battle in front of him, who was still shocked, "There is one more thing. After returning to Nanjing, don't forget to express my gratitude to the principal. Without the principal's support, I, Sun Liren, would not have won a total of five million oceans in this operation..."

He was plotted by Li Guosheng again. Not only that, almost 30 million oceans were thrown into the whirlpool of the three northeastern provinces, not only did not cause any disturbances, but instead made the National Defense Force earn more than 10 million in vain...

As the chairman of the Nanjing National Government, when did Lao Jiang suffer such a great loss? When his whole body was covered with anger from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but curse: "Mom Xipi, the cunning Li Guosheng can even do such a despicable thing. Don't forget that he is a soldier, not a sinister and cunning businessman... No. The central government must not suffer such a great loss in vain. We must use this matter to completely show the insidious face of the National Defense Forces to the Chinese people..."

After saying that, the angry Chiang Kai-shek quickly turned his gaze to Yang Yongtai and ordered: "Secretary General Yang, I order you to immediately announce the cunning actions of the National Defense Force through all propaganda institutions controlled by the State Government. I want to use this matter to completely ruin the reputation and reputation of the National Defense Force among the people of the country..."

Hearing the murderous aura revealed in Lao Chiang's words, Yang Yongtai's heart was filled with fear. However, he stood up and opposed it with great responsibility: "Commander-in-Chief, I think we can't promote this matter. We must also swallow our anger and take revenge on the National Defense Force and the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Force from other directions...."

"Please calm down..." At Yang Yongtai's warning, whether the military generals or the chiefs of various departments, they almost took a step forward together, and loudly suggested to Lao Jiang, who was still angry in front of him.

"My grandma Xipi, after suffering such a big loss, I can't even take revenge. What prestige does I have as the chairman of the National Government.... Secretary-General Yang, you said that if you can't tell a reason today, you should not sit down as the Secretary-General..."

Faced with the imposing eyes of Chiang Kai-shek looking at him, Yang Yongtai calmed down his nervous heart. After a brief analysis, he spoke: "Commander-in-Chief, although the National Defense Forces caused us major losses, the cause of the whole incident lies with us. Once we announce this matter, the major local forces in the country will know that our central government has used money offensives to target foreign enemies, such a shameful method..."

"As the orthodox Republic of China, we even used this method. What reason would we have to command major local forces in the future and make major local forces believe in the central government..."

"So, please calm down the anger of the commander-in-chief. Never act with your own momentary intentions and push the central government down the opposing side of all local forces in the country, so that everyone can guard against the central government together. In addition, even if we publish this matter, the people will not believe it without evidence. Because the national defense force's reputation in the country has far surpassed the central government with the progress of the military parade. As long as a Chinese person is aware, there is a Chinese defense force that can truly fight against the great powers and defend the country through battle."

Dai Li, director of the Intelligence Department, followed closely and persuaded Lao Chiang: "Principal, Secretary-General Yang is right. If we publish this matter, it will harm us without any benefit. Therefore, for the sake of the remaining government, please calm down..."

Lao Jiang, who had a gloomy face, did not answer immediately, but instead asked his subordinates in front of him who were about to continue speaking, and asked sternly: "Then tell me, as the orthodox Republic of China, are we just let the local forces such as the National Defense Forces play with applause without any reaction?"

He Yingqin, the commander-in-chief of this operation, was also full of anger because he was deceived. Facing the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek at everyone, He Yingqin knew that it was time for him to speak at this time. Otherwise, his prestige in the central government would definitely be hit by an unprecedented blow because of this failure and he did not dare to take responsibility.

Under the gaze of Chiang Kai-shek, he stood up with a firm look on his face and said, "Commander-in-Chief, I think that our top priority now is to train the new army, not to retaliate against the National Defense Forces. Although this operation failed, we did not gain anything. More than 200 first-level officers from the National Defense Forces battalion and company were sent to Nanjing with the help of the Intelligence Bureau. As long as these grassroots officers from the National Defense Forces are here, the training methods of the National Defense Forces can be fully carried out in the Central Army."

"In addition to the large amount of weapons and equipment we purchased from the National Defense Forces, we can be sure of the humble position. At most half a year, we can reorganize a new army of at least one million people. As long as one million new troops are in hand, the central government can complete the military unification of major surrounding local forces in a short period of time."

"Once the major local forces in the pass are completely unified by our central government, the number of new troops in the central government will increase to two million. Because the major local forces located around us are also using a large number of weapons and equipment purchased from the National Defense Forces to train new troops..."
