Chapter 654: Chaotic Clouds Flying Over Still Calmly (Part 1)
Who is Yuuki Toyotaro?! He is the president of Industrial Bank of Japan and the head of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry! Would such a person be unsmart? After hearing what Hayashi Senjuro said, Yuki smiled slightly and said.
"I will communicate with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. But after all, the Prime Minister has to give me certain authority, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, right?!"
Hayashi Jujuro secretly cursed these damn greedy businessmen in his heart, they only care about making profits! They don’t know how to think about the empire at all. Wouldn’t the prosperity of the empire make them more money?! Short-sighted!!
"Haha... My colleagues in the military have already told me about this. As long as they can support the empire's China strategy, members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will have priority in the mining rights after acquiring these resources. And those in China
Factories and enterprises will be handed over to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for management..."
After hearing what Hayashi Jujuro said, Yuuki said: "Ah! In that case, I'm going to discuss it with everyone in the conference hall. With the Prime Minister's guarantee, everyone in the conference room must be willing to do their best for the empire.
…”
The two of them chatted happily for a few words, and then Yuki said goodbye knowingly.
February 20, 1937, inside the Presidential Palace in Nanjing.
Jiang Zhongzheng was holding the telegram in his hand, his face was terribly livid! His lips were trembling and he couldn't say a word. Chen Cheng and others around him didn't dare to speak out, and they waited carefully.
"Niang Xipi!! What does he want to do in the three eastern provinces?! What does Zhang Xueliang want to do?! These bastards who have no party and are harming the country! Do they know what they are doing?!"
Jiang Zhongzheng suddenly jumped up from his chair and cursed angrily! After being scolded by him, Yang Yongtai and others at the scene were even more afraid to speak. With a gloomy face, Jiang Zhongzheng kept scolding all kinds of hometown slang, and the curses were earth-shattering!
Even the guards outside the door had strange expressions on their faces. Jiang Zhongzheng rarely cursed people. It was even rarer for him to curse so directly. This time, Tu Qianjun probably really made him angry!
It should indeed be angered. This telegram from the three northeastern provinces states that the three northeastern provinces have agreed with Yang Hucheng and Chi in their hearts that Shaanxi will soon establish the Seventh Army Corps of the National Defense Force. The components of the legion are the Northeastern Army, the Seventeenth Army.
Road army and red.
Therefore, a special call was made to Nanjing to report the number. At the same time, the telegram also made it clear that this regiment, like other units of the National Defense Force, does not require the Nanjing government to provide weapons and equipment, and is all raised by the National Defense Force itself.
At the same time, in order to prepare for unified logistics supply to all the Northeastern Army, the equipment of the 17th Route Army will be replaced. These, the National Defense Force is preparing to support them to Nanjing.
"Niang Xipi!! What do you think I am in Nanjing when he kills tigers?! Is he a beggar?! Send me away with some rags?! I don't want these rags! I don't want them!!"
Chen Cheng smiled bitterly in his heart, he really couldn't do without it! Although these things were said to be eliminated, everyone knew they were good things! Speaking of which, the tiger had given face to the Nanjing government, otherwise he would have sold these to Yan Xishan and
As for Han Fuju, these two people would definitely buy it without saying a word!
Now it is given to us for free, which can be regarded as a favor. However, the name given is a bit ugly, and it is said that it is a change of clothes, but everyone knows in their hearts that it was eliminated.
After Jiang Zhongzheng scolded him for a while, Yang Yongtai finally vented his anger and said to Jiang Zhongzheng: "Chairman, indeed! What the three northeastern provinces have done this time has gone too far, but we cannot help but see the concessions they have made this time.
"
"For example, those fifty artillery pieces are very good! There are also hundreds of light and heavy machine guns. These firepowers are rare support. If they are sold to Yan Xishan and others, they will definitely spend money to purchase them. The three northeastern provinces can
It is also rare to provide it to the government for free!"
Then Yang Yongtai paused and continued: "Chairman! Now the three eastern provinces are full-fledged and have extremely close connections with other countries. If Shaanxi is forced to form an army, there is nothing we can do. We can't conquer it, right?
!”
After hearing Yang Yongtai's words, Jiang Zhongzheng couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye! This can be regarded as talking about his pain. He has to endure this bird's breath just because he can't conquer it!
Otherwise, he, Chiang Zhongzheng, would have commanded the army to kill him! He could not do it openly, and he could not do it secretly! The person in charge of the secret work in the three eastern provinces is none other than Wang Yajiao, who has restrained Chiang Zhongzheng to death!
When fighting alone, Chiang Zhongzheng had nothing to do with Wang Yajiao for a long time. Now that Wang Yajiao has the three northeastern provinces and the National Defense Force as its backers, it has all kinds of resources, manpower and material resources, and it is even more difficult to deal with!
Coupled with the original power of the three northeastern provinces, Chiang Zhongzheng could basically not play in the three northeastern provinces in the dark. Dai Li's power was also forced to stay outside Shanhaiguan. Although he developed several internal lines in the three northeastern provinces, they were all from the periphery and did not enter the core.
"The Japanese are ready to move now, but we have to guard against it!" Yang Yongtai continued to face Jiang Zhongzheng: "The chairman of the National Government's current financial situation also knows about the continuous conquest. Large-scale purchases. Our situation does not allow it...
"
Jiang Zhongzheng couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this. This was indeed the case. His brother-in-law Song Ziwen often quarreled with him over this, but Jiang Zhongzheng was always thinking about what happened in Xi'an some time ago and his brother-in-law went there regardless of life and death, so he backed down a few steps.
"Compared with the Japanese army's firepower, our firepower is still far behind. If a war breaks out, it may be difficult to resist..." After Yang Yongtai talked for a while, he finally concluded to Jiang Zhongzheng: "That's right, Chairman! By the way,
For this reason, we will form a few more main forces to deal with the future..."
Jiang Zhongzheng sat down on the chair all of a sudden, with a gloomy expression on his face! After being silent for a while, he said solemnly to everyone: "I will leave this matter to Jingzhi, the deputy director of Cixiu. Yanji will be responsible for helping me.
Organize the manuscript and release it to the public..."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Seeing Jiang Zhongzheng's ugly face, they all understood the situation and said no more to say goodbye and left. After everyone left, Jiang Zhongzheng sighed and left the office.
He couldn't do any work now and just wanted to take a rest. When he got home, Song Meiling had already heard about the matter and brought her younger brother Song Ziwen to come to persuade him.
After Song Ziwen promised to purchase arms and aircraft from the United States, Jiang Zhongzheng's face looked better.
On February 23, the Nanjing government sent He Yingqin, headed by Chen Chengfu, to Shaanxi to conduct army training. In fact, it was to receive the equipment vacated by the Northeast Army, the Seventeenth Route Army and the Red Army.
At this time, about 40% of the Northeast Army, the 17th Route Army and the Red mid-level and high-level commanders had gone to the Northeast National Defense University for further training. And the grassroots equipment had been delivered, including the first batch of rifles, light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers.
Cartridges, mortars, etc. have been equipped with more than 40% of the troops.
Naturally, their equipment will be transferred to Nanjing first, and the equipment of the rest of the troops will be brought back with them after some mid-level and high-level officers who are training return.
In view of the fact that there are too many grassroots officers, and for the sake of the stability of the army, it is not easy to go to the three northeastern provinces to study military affairs. Therefore, the National Defense Force deployed its grassroots officers to Shaanxi to conduct military training and training in several parties.
Chen Cheng and He Yingqin were somewhat interested in attending such a lecture, but their faces turned ugly after listening to it! The first point of the National Defense Force's lecture was to teach all soldiers to read.
Then there is the military affairs disclosure column. The number of people in each company, each platoon and even each squad, and how much military pay officers, soldiers and non-commissioned officers at all levels should receive are all clearly stipulated! Even what dishes will be included in the daily meals, the treatment of retired soldiers, and the number of soldiers killed in action.
Pensions, disability pensions, etc. are all announced.
Officers do not have cooking stoves and must eat with the soldiers. At the same time, the National Defense Force's version of the Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention was posted on the wall as a warning, and the grassroots National Defense Force officers would teach the soldiers to understand the meaning word for word.
The army does not have military police, but it does have pickets. Anyone can report the situation directly to the pickets, and the posted announcements can be read by soldiers under the guidance of literacy classes.
Also announced at the same time are rewards for meritorious service and a military academy admissions system. Simply put, as long as you have meritorious service on the battlefield and your cultural level meets the standards, you can apply for the military academy.
Chen Cheng and others could all imagine that if they did this in their own army, things would definitely turn upside down! Those people below who are eating free money and dumping ordnance will definitely cause trouble! The whole army will be in a mess and become uncontrollable.
But they also admitted that this approach would indeed concentrate the troops' cohesion and centripetal force a lot! Unfortunately, they also knew that Nanjing's troops must not do this.
"What a conspiracy..." Living in Shao Zili's mansion, He Yingqin sighed to Chen Cheng: "We always say that the National Defense Forces and the tiger are playing some conspiracy, but they are actually not playing any conspiracy at all. This
It’s all a conspiracy!”
"It's been put in front of us, it's been put in front of us! But can we learn it?! Can we learn it?! Even if he made it clear to us, what can we do?
!”
Chen Cheng was speechless after listening to He Yingqin's words. This is indeed a conspiracy on the surface! They don't even bother to use tricks like bribery, espionage and spies. It's completely laid out in front of you and you still choose to do it.
Can't learn!
If Tu Qianjun stood in front of them, he would tell these two that this is the core value. The core value is the irreplaceable and inimitable part of you. Even if I put it in front of you, you still can't learn it and you can't learn it.
learn.
With this core value, individuals and systems will stand out. Although He Yingqin and Chen Cheng do not understand what core value is, they understand that the difference between their army and the National Defense Force is more than just one grade.
On February 25, 1937, the Nanjing government, the National Defense Forces, the Northeast Army, the Seventeenth Route Army and the Red Army stationed in Shaanxi issued a joint announcement: the former Northeast Army, the Seventeenth Route Army and the Red Army were officially reorganized into the Seventh Army of the National Defense Force after evaluation.
