Chapter 576
: Uneasy
"Bao!" Lao Jiang slapped the table heavily. Although the slap made his hands hurt, the loud noise also raised the hearts of everyone who were talking about them just now.
Old Jiang opened his mouth and finally said: "Everyone, don't forget the Prime Minister's last words!"
A meeting ended unhappily.
But after the meeting, Jiang Jiang sat alone in the study room for a long time. Even Soong Mei-ling went in to comfort her and came out alone after a while.
"Jie Shi..." With Kong Xiangxi's sideways gesture, Song Ailing went forward, held Soong Mei-ling's hand, and asked with concern.
Soong Mei-ling withdrew her tiredness from the corner of her eyes, put a smile on her face, just waved her hand, and whispered: "It's okay! He is planning something."
Even though she said so, she couldn't help but hold a cigarette in her hand.
Kong Xiangxi, who was sitting back on the sofa, heard this, and when his mind moved, he saw Soong Mei-ling's smoking action, he couldn't help but press the cloisonne cigarette box in his pocket, but he just touched it and did not take it out. Kong Xiangxi was smoking in the office, but Song Ailing firmly opposed smoking. Kong Xiangxi never smoked when he was guarding Song Ailing.
However, at this time, he thought about some of the situations at today's meeting and felt more and more bored and couldn't help but want to smoke a cigarette.
Since the Pioneer Army recovered Nanjing, the Central Army and the Pioneer Army have begun to have a tendency to break up. The shrewd Chinese people know that after the old capital is recovered, many things should be revealed, and the Central Army has no choice but to take action.
As a result, various frictions continued everywhere, and even in the United War Zone, a storm broke out.
But what Lao Jiang and others did not expect was that this time the vanguard army's counterattack was not ruthless, and they fought as soon as they should, and destroyed as they should, without any hesitation. Many people who were planning to speculate were suppressed in an instant.
When the Central Army was still planning to use public opinion to cry, the public opinion of the entire Chinese had turned to the vanguard army expelling the *** people and recovering Shanghai. Then even the British and French concessions in Shanghai were taken back, using facts to prove to the Chinese people the general trend in China at this time.
Sure enough, Shanghai must have a certainty, and the direction of many people changed immediately, and even many people in the Central Party joined the Pioneer Army. Some bigwigs who started in Jiangsu and Zhejiang secretly contacted the Pioneer Army.
Once Shanghai recovered, Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions had all fallen into the hands of the vanguard army at this time. The business opportunities and interests contained in them were enough to make many people consider their position. One step later would be much later, and no one would be willing to lag behind others in this regard. Driven by interests, even the hardest fortress could be broken. Not to mention that the Central Party, which was retreating and beating, was already beginning to be shaky against the vanguard army.
There are always smart people among the Chinese people who are smart and smart. So when Chiang Kai-shek presided over this meeting, he found that the people below had already begun to use their magical powers and protect themselves.
"Under the basis of not violating the principles, unite all forces that can be united." This is another famous saying by Meng Xiang, and it also gives those big men a signal. Many people live a wonderful life with a change of identity. China has changed its dynasty for thousands of years, and the forces of the previous dynasty were also attracted and held high positions. Only some in the core circle will be completely defeated.
And Kong Xiangxi realized that he belonged to the overthrown circle.
One day the emperor and another day the minister are exactly what he is talking about.
Even if others join the Pioneer Army, even if they cannot be promoted, as long as there is no big stain, they will not damage their golden body and have a greater possibility of progress. Everything about Kong Xiangxi has been deeply imprinted by Chiang Kai-shek, and they will prosper and lose both of them. The Pioneer Army cannot give him a better future, and if he loses the big tree of Chiang Kai-shek, the Kong family will also decline.
It was not that he had considered joining the Pioneer Army, but in the end he did not dare to take risks and gave up his plan that seemed to be a castle in the air. Accordingly, some of his actions of accumulating small treasurys were increased.
Many of the financial problems in the past were that Lao Kong took the blame for Lao Jiang. Some funds could not be transferred to the accounts at all, but Lao Jiang could not come forward, so he could only take the blame. But the shrewd Lao Kong refused to miss such an opportunity. Since he took the blame, he would also use some assault. Lao Jiang turned a blind eye to this.
Lao Kong knew very well that as long as he had money in his hands, he would be an old man at any time. If he couldn't make a living in China, he would still be popular abroad. He might not have to hang himself from a tree.
However, it is better to be able to support the big tree than to leave the countryside and travel across the ocean. Therefore, Kong Xiangxi still had a glimmer of hope for Chiang Kai-shek.
"Bang!" The door was pushed open all of a sudden.
Kong Xiangxi just raised his eyebrows, but saw Song Ziwen coming in with joy on his face. He couldn't help but feel moved, but he still smiled faintly on his face and said, "You are back!"
Song Ziwen glanced at the appearance in the living room and understood a lot, but he still said happily: "Fortunately, I will live up to the mission!"
"What do the Soviets say?" Soong Mei-ling said anxiously.
"They have agreed to our $300 million loan." Song Ziwen said directly without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Soong Mei-ling smiled and nodded and said, "Jie Shi is in the study, I'll tell him."
"In addition to the 200 million US dollars of help provided to us by Britain and the United States, we can stabilize the situation and at least suppress the arrogance of the vanguard army!" Kong Xiangxi said with a smile.
Song Ziwen just nodded when he heard this, but suddenly felt like he was losing his heart. The policies of the Pioneer Army were very similar to his temper. If it were based on his personality, he would have already run to the Pioneer Army and participated in financial and economic construction. However, the rise and fall of the entire family could not help but think about his brother-in-law.
"During this period, the Pioneer Army seemed to be majestic, but in fact it offended several empires. How many days can they be arrogant?" Song Ailing couldn't help but snorted coldly. The business in the United War Zone ignored the privileged companies she founded, which made her very resentful.
Song Ziwen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything, but he didn't agree with Song Ailing's words. If it weren't for the tough attitude and strength of the Pioneer Army, could the Shanghai Concession be taken back? If it weren't for the Pioneer Army's offenses that offended those empires, during the negotiations, whether it was the Soviet Union or the United Kingdom or the United States, could he be so polite to Song Ziwen?
"After all, it's just a use of us!" Song Ziwen sighed in his heart, "It's a pity that China has many disasters and difficulties, and it's not peaceful!"
"Don't think that the soldiers can control it after entering Shanghai." At this time, among the dozen people in the concession in Shanghai, Yoshiko Kawashima, who was dressed as a man, also snorted coldly, "We just want to make them uneasy!"
"Although the Shanghai Concession is not very peaceful, as long as it is in the hands of China, it can at least block some people's verbal words." Meng Xiang said with a smile to Tang Pharmacist who reminded him of Shanghai's sting.
Although the Pioneer Army has begun to accept public security management, the old men have a thick foundation and are not so easy to control. Meng Xiang is not in a hurry, and everything remains the same and is not in a hurry to change. Shanghai is mixed with fish and dragons, and too many forces are involved, so it is not possible to solve the problem by suppressing the soldiers.
"The concession has poured in more than 3 billion yuan in the past few years of the War of Resistance. With the accumulation of nearly a hundred years, the conflict of interest caused by such a large amount of wealth is not so easy to control. Be careful to cause civil unrest." Tang Pharmacist still reminded him.
Meng Xiang was wary of the currency war that happened in Shanghai in later generations. The prices and other issues caused by currency prying poles have a wide impact. Once there is a major change in the situation in Shanghai, the vanguard army will fall into a passive position in public opinion alone.
"I know!" Meng Xiang nodded solemnly. But his heart was even more serious. The turmoil in Shanghai was absolutely inevitable. Whether it was the British, the French, or even the ***, they would never miss this opportunity.
"Come on! I will deal with it as much as I come!" Although Meng Xiang attached great importance to this, he was not particularly worried. What he was worried about was another problem.
"I heard that Chiang Kai-shek has a good relationship with the Soviets again?" After a moment of silence, Tang Pharmacist asked again.
"In order to pull us back, not only the Soviets, British, Americans, and even the *** people have begun to make friends with the Central Army." Meng Xiang chuckled. These things were also as expected by him and were not worth worrying at all. The Central Army they supported could compete with the vanguard army that had obtained the support of the people with foreign aid alone?
"They are not troubled. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. In the end, the Chinese have the final say in China!" Meng Xiang waved his hand. He was not worried about the troubles between the Soviet Union and the Central Army. What he was worried about was the Red Party that the Soviet Union handled indifferently.
The Soviet Union had long felt the threat of the vanguard army. At this time, it was a good way to get involved in domestic disputes. It was a flawless way to survive the Soviet-German crisis. They did not pay much attention to the Red Party that was defending the whole place, but found Chiang Kai-shek very practically and directly. Only the Central Army could eliminate the short-term threat of the vanguard army to the Soviet Union.
The Red Party, in contrast, has been more restrained by the Soviet Union and is in an increasingly difficult situation.
Surrounded by a smog of smoke, the voice of a great man came from the cave:
"The power of the people is the source of our prosperity. We come from the masses, and we will eventually go to the masses! Mobilizing the masses and raising people's war is the foundation for us to win victory!"
