However, after reading it, Chairman Jiang was a little frightened because Xu Rui told him in the letter that he would take time to make a special trip to Chongqing to "visit" him. Although Xu Rui's words were vague, how could Chairman Jiang not hear it? , Xu Rui was basically a personal threat to Chi Guoguo, and he was as close to beheading him as possible.
Facing a monster-level existence like Xu Rui, Chairman Jiang could not help but worry.
If Xu Rui really comes to Chongqing and attacks him, can the guards at the official residence stop him
In fact, let alone Xu Rui, even if Leng Tiefeng came, the guards at the Chairman's residence might not be able to stop him. Chairman Jiang still has fresh memories of Leng Tiefeng's marksmanship.
At that moment, Chairman Chiang no longer had any thoughts to discuss, and hurriedly sent away a few close aides, and then asked Wang Shihe: "How is the matter that I asked you to find martial arts masters to form a bodyguard, how is it going?"
Wang Shihe replied: "We have invited some so-called experts from Wudang Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain and Emei Mountain, but most of them are charlatans with false names. They cannot even defeat the guards' officers and soldiers in unarmed combat. However, there are a few real masters, but They are unwilling to join the army, saying that Xianyun Yehe is used to it and cannot be restrained."
Chairman Jiang said: "We must invite them here at any cost. Even if they are unwilling to join the army, they can at least teach fighting skills to the officers and soldiers of the Guard." After a slight pause, he continued, "What about Xu Rui? We don't Yes, but you know how powerful Battalion Commander Liang is. If Battalion Commander Liang comes to Chongqing and wants to attack me, can you guys stop him?"
Wang Shihe nodded and said, "Don't worry, Commissioner. I know what to do now, and I will definitely get things done."
Chairman Chiang continued: "Speaking of Xu Rui, this guy seems to have visited the Soviet Union before, right?"
Wang Shihe nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that he came back just a few days ago, and I don't know what he did in the Soviet Union?"
The intelligence system of the Military Command Bureau is still very powerful in China, and its tentacles have reached every corner. There are even military command intelligence stations in Japan. However, in other countries, especially in Europe, the military command is powerless. Therefore, Chairman Chiang did not I don’t know what exactly Xu Rui did when he went to Europe.
Chairman Jiang said: "There must be nothing good. He is probably running to cry for help from the Soviet Union. You can call Dai Yunong back and ask him to strengthen the intelligence collection in Baotou. Even if you can't get close to Xu Rui, get close to him. Couldn’t the core staff around me also do it? I don’t believe it.”
"Okay." Wang Shihe quickly took out his pen and wrote it down quickly.
Chairman Chiang continued: "There is also an economic blockade against the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia bandit areas and Baotou. We must continue to ensure that not a grain of grain or a needle enters the bandit areas. Hmm, there are no raw materials. The industrial zone in Baotou Even if it is built, so what? They can't make a bullet or refine a drop of oil!"
Wang Shihe hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Commissioner, Suiyuan has just suffered a severe snowstorm that only occurs once in a century. Fu Zuoyi sent a special telegram for this purpose, requesting the National Government to allocate funds for disaster relief. He also asked the National Government to immediately send a group of people from the Shaanxi treasury. Send grain supplies to Suiyuan for disaster relief, otherwise there will be a famine in Suiyuan."
Chairman Chiang said coldly: "You're doing this again with me. I won't be gullible this time."
I don’t know since when, the provincial chairpersons in the Kuomintang-controlled areas have learned the same thing. They report disasters to the central government at critical moments, whether they are suffering from drought, floods, locusts, winds or snowstorms, anyway. Likewise, the province does not give a penny or a grain of food to the central government.
Wang Shihe said nothing more. Although he knew that Fu Zuoyi was an upright man unlike other provincial chairmen, that was all he could do. In any case, he was the head of the aide to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. It is absolutely impossible to touch Chairman Chiang's back for Fu Zuoyi!
Chairman Chiang said again: "Shihe, please tell Hu Zongnan by telegram to continue to strengthen the blockade of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia bandit areas and Baotou! The central government will send special personnel to investigate the snow disaster in Suiyuan, and we will consider disaster relief after it is verified. But since Even if we are providing disaster relief, we must also act cautiously to ensure that not a grain of food flows into the Baotou bandit area!"
"Yes!" Wang Shihe respectfully agreed.
…
The entire Suiyuan suffered a once-in-a-century snowstorm. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist Government responded indifferently, but Yan'an quickly launched disaster relief work. Not only the disaster relief work, Yan'an also tried its best to support the construction of Baotou Industrial Zone. Full support both materially and financially!
When Wang Husheng and Xu Rui were gathered around Leng Tiefeng's bed, looking forward to the blitzkrieg, Liu Mei walked in with a telegram and said overjoyed: "Lao Xu, Lao Wang and the veterans, I have great news for you! Yan'an! A secret message was just sent, asking for five hundred thousand taels of gold to support the construction of Baotou Industrial Zone!"
"Um?"
"What?"
"Is this happening?!"
Wang Husheng and Leng Tiefeng immediately looked at each other.
Five hundred thousand taels of gold? This is almost all the gold storage that was sent to Yan'an from Dameishan, right? Maybe Yan'an has even moved in. Such support is really huge! Of course, this also reflects from the side that Yan'an also has high hopes for the construction of Baotou Industrial Zone.
Wang Husheng quickly came to his senses and said excitedly: "Now the construction funds for the industrial zone have been secured!"
After finishing speaking, Wang Husheng turned to Xu Rui and said, "Old Xu, you don't have to go to Tianjin to make money now."
"Tianjin? Go to Tianjin to make money?" Leng Tiefeng, Liu Mei and Xiao Yanyue were immediately confused.
Wang Husheng told Xu Rui's previous thoughts, and Liu Mei immediately said: "I object, Old Xu, don't forget, you are the backbone of the Chahar Independent Regiment. You have been to the Soviet Union for a month this time, and now You have just come back from the Soviet Union and are about to go to Tianjin. You are not in the regiment, how can you do that?"
Leng Tiefeng said without hesitation: "I object too!"
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng said again: "Even if you want to go, you should let me go."
"Don't even think about it!" Xiao Yanyue immediately jumped up and said with her hands on her hips like Sun Erniang, "I propose that the Youth League Party Committee be convened immediately on this matter to discuss and decide collectively!"
Wang Husheng spread his hands at Xu Rui, saying that I was also helpless.
If this matter were discussed at the Youth League Party Committee, it would definitely be rejected. As a political commissar, Wang Husheng has a veto power, but not a passing vote. In other words, he can veto other people's proposals, but he cannot allow a certain item to be approved. The proposal was passed by force, even if Xu Rui, the leader of the group, joined forces with him.
"Okay, if you don't want to go, you won't go. Why are you so excited?" Xu Rui quickly raised his hand.
In fact, Xu Rui doesn't have to go to Tianjin. No matter what, Tianjin is an occupied area and a big city. The Japanese must be heavily stationed, so this trip is still quite dangerous. If he encounters someone escaping from Leng Tiefeng, The Japanese special forces soldier, or directly encountering Chiyoko Inoue, even Xu Rui himself will be in danger.
Now that the funding problem has been solved, Xu Rui is naturally unwilling to take this risk again.
After a slight pause, Xu Rui continued: "Now the funding problem has been solved for the time being, but the food shortage problem has not yet been solved. Lao Ye and Yan Zi happened to be here, and all the members of the Youth League Party Committee have arrived, so let's discuss it by the way. Now, how should we solve this food problem?"
Liu Mei said: "The large-scale production movement in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region and the Hetao base area is going well. This year's autumn grain harvest has been a bumper harvest. The central government has made it clear that it will do its best to support grain relief for Baotou."
"Old Ye, we can't rely on Yan'an for everything." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "What's more, the entire Suiyuan Province is affected, not just the corner of Baotou. Do we only care about the life and death of the people in Baotou, and don't care about the life and death of the people in other banners and counties? Really? This doesn’t look like the magnanimity we Communists should have.”
Liu Mei quickly waved her hand and said, "Old Xu, that's not what I meant."
Xu Rui immediately said: "Then you agree with my proposal just now?"
"Okay." Liu Mei said helplessly, "My comrade, your suggestion is to get more food."
Xu Rui turned his attention to Wang Husheng, Leng Tiefeng and Xiao Yanyue and asked, "What are your opinions?"
Leng Tiefeng raised his hand and said: "I agree, but I have one condition. I must participate in this operation."
Xiao Yanyue immediately pouted her lips and said: "I object, but I am not against this action, but against allowing Comrade Leng Tiefeng to participate in this action."
Leng Tiefeng immediately became anxious, sat up and said, "This won't work..."
Xiao Yanyue raised her eyebrows, put her hands on her hips and said, "Comrade Leng Tiefeng, your body is seriously overdrawn!"
As soon as Xiao Yanyue showed her strength, Leng Tiefeng immediately withered. If it were before, he would have dared to challenge her, but who made Xiao Yanyue pregnant now? Pregnant women should not be angry, otherwise it will affect the development of the fetus. At that moment, Leng Tiefeng could only look at Xu Rui and Wang Husheng for help, but they pretended not to see it.
Wang Husheng coughed lightly, and then said: "I agree in principle, but..."
Xu Rui's face immediately darkened. If Wang Husheng objected, it would be useless even if all the other party committee members agreed, because he, as the political commissar, had a veto power!
After a pause, Wang Husheng continued: "But Lao Xu, I still want to see your entire action plan. If it is too risky, I will not agree. For example, if you propose to go to Peking or Tianjin again, I won’t agree to the food business, but if it’s Zhangjiakou or Datong, it can still be considered.”
Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Old Wang, you overestimated me. It is much harder to get food than money. If it is money, a few trucks can easily take it away, but the transportation of food is a big problem, so Not to mention Peiping or Tianjin, even Datong or Zhangjiakou are quite difficult. My goal is Ulanqab, the seat of the Puppet-Mongolian government!"
