Just as we had agreed, Qian Dajun, the director of the attendant's office, came in and reported: "Committee, Minister Song has arrived."

"Oh, Ziwen is here?" Chairman Jiang nodded and said to Qian Dajun, "Dajun, let Ziwen go to the small conference room on the second floor to wait for me first, I'll come now."

Qian Dajun responded and turned around and left.

Chairman Jiang said to Bai Chongxi and others again: "You are busy, I'll go see Ziwen first."

After saying that, Chairman Jiang left the combat hall and headed straight to the small conference room on the second floor.

As soon as the two met, Song Ziwen asked, "Chairman, are you going to borrow money again?"

"Let's not talk about borrowing money for now." Chairman Jiang waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the Tax Police Corps first."

"Tax Police General Group?" Song Ziwen immediately glanced at a look of displeasure on his face when he heard this, and said, "I have given you the personnel power of the General Group to you, what else do you want?"

The Tax Police Corps was created by Song Ziwen. It was originally planned to be built into the private army of the Song family, but after the July 7 Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, Chairman Jiang was forcibly taken over in the name of the War of Resistance. Song Ziwen suffered a loss and felt like he had eaten a fly. It would be strange if he had a good face when talking about this matter.

Chairman Jiang knew that Song Ziwen had misunderstood when he heard this.

Chairman Jiang quickly smiled and said, "Ziwen, this is not the case. What I want to ask is whether there is an officer named Zhong Yi from the US West Point Military Academy, but later you transferred to Kingsoft Guard to be a security captain. Is this the case?"

Song Ziwen said: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Chairman Jiang said: "Tell me if this is the case?"

"That's the case." Song Ziwen frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Chairman Jiang then asked: "Three years ago, you sent Zhong Yi to the West Point Military Academy in the United States to study. I guess he is a talent. Then, after three years, he returned from West Point Military Academy, you should use him more, but why did you send him to Kingsoft Guard as the security captain?"

Song Ziwen frowned and said, "I said to Chairman, are you idle? You actually asked about the little Jinshan Security Captain who came?"

Chairman Jiang said in surprise: "Don't you know?"

Song Ziwen said angrily: "What do I know?"

"Didn't you listen to the radio?" said Chairman Jiang, "from the Central News Agency."

"Listen to the radio? I'm so busy that I'm so busy. Where can I listen to the radio?" Song Ziwen said impatiently, "I'm asking if you have any important things? I'm not going to leave."

In the world, I'm afraid only Song Ziwen dares to talk to Chairman Jiang like this.

Of course, the reason why Song Ziwen dared to talk to Chairman Jiang like this is not because he is Chairman Jiang’s wife and brother-in-law, but because he is Chairman Jiang’s God of Wealth, and he firmly holds Chairman Jiang’s money bag in his hand! Without Song Ziwen’s support, Chairman Jiang would have ended up being unable to make a fuss in minutes!

Chairman Jiang coughed lightly and said, "Tell me this way, Zhong Yi, who you sent abroad three years ago, just won the battle in Jinshan Guards, and he won a big victory! He defended Jinshan Guards and Sea Defense with half a battalion for two days and nights, and killed more than 4,000 Japanese troops!"

"What did you say?" Song Ziwen's mouth was so big that he could swallow goose eggs!

Chairman Jiang was very satisfied with Song Ziwen's reaction and said with a smile: "So, Ziwen, I have to thank you for cultivating a rare military genius for the Party and the country! Haha!"

After a long time, Song Ziwen finally reacted and frowned and said, "Is this true?"

"Of course, will I lie to you?" Chairman Jiang paused and continued, "It seems that the coverage of the Central News Agency is still too small. I have to let Jingzhi increase his publicity efforts. In addition to international friends, the military and civilians of China also know this great news!"

However, Song Ziwen's brows frowned even more and said in a low voice: "No, how is that possible?"

Chairman Jiang did not hear Song Ziwen's words talking to himself, and reiterated the old words: "Ziwen, now you can tell me the truth, why should I send Zhong Yi to Jinshanwei?"

Song Ziwen said coldly: "I don't like him, can't it?"

"Don't like him?" Chairman Jiang was stunned when he heard this.

Song Ziwen had no intention of explanation at all and turned around and was about to leave.

Chairman Jiang knew that Song Ziwen did not intend to tell him the reason. Fortunately, there was no hurry to do so, so he could slowly figure out the hidden truth in the future.

Chairman Jiang said to Song Ziwen again: "Ziwen, don't hurry to leave, I have something to do."

After a moment of pause, Chairman Jiang said again: "Look, the scale of the Sino-Japanese War is becoming increasingly large. Now, not only is North China a stolen pot, but nearly one million troops have been used in the Songhu battlefield. So many troops gather in the Songhu battlefield. The daily money and food consumed is astronomical. The last loan has bottomed out and I have to borrow money from you again."

"Borrow money?" Song Ziwen suddenly gained his foothold and said loudly, "There is no money anymore. The central bank has long become an empty shell. I can't even get a penny. Look at how much is my 100 pounds worth? I will sell it! It can be regarded as me, Mr. Song, who has done a little effort to China's great cause of the War of Resistance."

After saying that, Song Ziwen turned around and left.

Watching Song Ziwen's back fade away, Chairman Jiang's brows slowly frowned.

Chairman Jiang was worried about it, of course, it was not Zhong Yi. No matter how good Zhong Yi performed at Kingsoft Guard, he was just a company-level officer. Although Chairman Jiang had a desire for talent, he had not taken Zhong Yi to heart for the time being. Now what Chairman Jiang is most worried about is the national finance!

In a word, the National Government is almost bankrupt!

In peacetime, it is already amazing that a government will take out 3% of GDP as military expenditure!

For example, after the Meiji Restoration, it is very rare for Japan to spend more than 10% of its GDP to be used as military expenditures internationally.

But what about the Republic of China?

Since the Beiyang period, military expenditure has never been lower than 30% of GDP!

Most of the time, military expenditure is as high as 50% or even 70% of GDP!

By the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War this year, the military expenditure of the Republic of China has reached 100% or even higher than GDP. This means that it is not enough for the people of the whole country to take all the wealth they have created to fight against wars without eating or drinking, and they must also advance part of their income next year!

What else can I do if I am so poor? I can only borrow it! I borrow it from the Soviets!

Chairman Jiang called Qian Dajun and ordered: "Call Yang Jie immediately, and we can accept the conditions put forward by the Soviets, including making Outer Mongolia independent, we can agree to it, but the amount of aid must be increased! An additional 50 million rubles!"
Chapter completed!
