"Sold you?" Xu Ruiruo glanced at Leng Tiefeng meaningfully and said, "Then I have to sell it for a good price. I'm afraid fifty oceans is too cheap. It's worth a million gold."
"One million gold?" Wang Husheng and Qiu Feng looked at each other.
Xu Rui had been paying attention to Leng Tiefeng out of the corner of his eye.
Xu Rui noticed that Leng Tiefeng seemed to glance in his direction when he heard about a million gold.
Xiao Yanyue couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "Captain, if I am really worth one million taels of gold, I will definitely sell myself. The question is, which fool is willing to pay one million taels of gold to buy me?"
Xu Rui said with a smile: "That's impossible to say."
After finishing speaking, Xu Rui continued: "No kidding, let's pay 500,000 yuan to the political commissar first. This is a serious matter. The base area needs more food. The existing food reserves alone may not be enough."
Xiao Yanyue said oh and said nothing more. She still had to listen to Xu Rui's words.
Of course, political commissar Wang Husheng and political department director Qiu Feng also listened to what they said, but when it came to money, Xu Rui was the only one who could talk. After all, Xu Rui earned all the money.
After the roadside office meeting ended, Wang Husheng no longer stopped Xu Rui.
Wang Husheng is single, but Captain Xu has a beautiful wife and concubine. We can't delay his return home to reunite with his beautiful wife, otherwise Sai Hongfu won't hate him
Xu Rui's regimental leader's residence is next to the regiment headquarters. This is also for Xu Rui's convenience.
Before going home, Xu Rui first went to the regiment headquarters and walked around. As a result, there was no one at the regiment headquarters. He didn't even see a dozen female soldiers in the communications class. Instead, he caught a thief in the kitchen. Gao Chu thought that There was no one at the regiment headquarters, so he came back secretly and planned to order some steamed buns from the kitchen, but was caught by Xu Rui.
Xu Rui said: "Okay, Lao Gao, he has learned how to steal things."
Gao Chu said: "Captain, you are back. When did you come back?"
Xu Rui said: "Don't change the subject, tell me honestly who stole this bun."
Gao Chu said: "No one but me. I was hungry, so I came back to find something to eat."
Xu Rui said: "Edit, continue to edit, and edit as hard as you can. Let me see what else you can come up with."
Gao Chu said: "Captain, I didn't make it up. I'm really hungry. I just brought this steamed bun to eat myself."
Xu Rui found a stool and sat down and said, "Okay, as long as you eat these dozen steamed buns, I will believe you."
Gao Chu had already spoken, so he could only grit his teeth and start eating. However, he had just had lunch and his stomach was still bulging, so how could he eat? I barely ate two, but I couldn't eat any more.
Xu Rui said: "Eat, why don't you eat? Aren't you hungry?"
After finishing speaking, Xu Rui pulled his face again and said, "If you don't tell the truth today, I will let Lei Zi stuff it for you."
Lei Xiang rolled up his sleeves and stood in front of Gao Chu, glared at those two bull eyes, and snorted from his nostrils.
Gao Chu was worried and said: "Captain, these steamed buns are for Chu Chu, her sister-in-law and their two children. With just the little porridge from the porridge shed, they won't be able to eat enough. The two children can't eat enough." I couldn't bear to complain about being hungry, so I thought there were some leftover steamed buns at the regiment headquarters, so I decided to get some for them."
"Chu Chu?" Xu Rui said, "Is she the little widow who caused you to make a mistake last time? You still have contacts."
Gao Chudun was startled and said hurriedly: "Captain, no, we didn't, we didn't do anything."
"You haven't done anything, so why are you so anxious?" Xu Rui said, "A big man, he feels so guilty when he likes a girl, are you so embarrassed? Touch your vagina, are the balls still there? ?”
When Gao Chu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Captain, don't you object to me being with Chu Chu?"
"Nonsense." Xu Rui said angrily, "I don't care about heaven and earth, but why do you care about your eating, drinking, sleeping, and finding women? I don't care about your nonsense until I have more free time."
Gao Chu said: "But we, our New Fourth Army, don't we have the regulations of the 258th Regiment?"
Xu Rui said: "I have no control over other detachments of the New Fourth Army, but in our independent regiment, as long as you have the ability, as long as a girl is willing to marry you, you can file a marriage report, and if the political commissar doesn't approve it, I will! But there is one thing, if you If you dare to mess around, if you dare to mess around with a young woman with a family, don't blame me for turning against you and letting you be the last eunuch."
"No way, Chu Chu is a good family." Gao Chu was overjoyed when he heard this, "I'll report it when I get back."
After finishing speaking, Gao Chu ran away in a hurry. Because of his excitement, neither of them knew that the buns fell from his pockets.
Xu Rui picked up the steamed bun from the ground and took a big bite. He laughed and cursed loudly: "Look at how angry you are. A woman can make you happy like this. Isn't it a big deal?"
Lei Xiang scratched his head and said with a smile: "Captain, I also want to get a wife."
"You also want to marry?" Xu Rui was surprised, "You also have a woman you like?"
Lei Xiang nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, it's Dr. Hanako from the hospital."
"Your kid has also fallen in love with Dr. Hanako?" Xu Rui said, "Then has she fallen in love with you?"
Lei Xiang immediately shook his head and said with a dark face, "I wanted to tell her last time I went to the hospital, but I didn't dare."
"Then you're talking nonsense." Xu Rui scolded with a smile, "You haven't even written your horoscope yet, and you want me to give you special approval? Then if you fall in love with the daughter of the Emperor of Japan, do I have to go to Tokyo? Help you capture the Japanese princess back to your base? Leizi, let me tell you, if you have the ability, take down Dr. Hanako and then come to me, but don’t use force."
"How can that be possible?" Lei Xiang shook his head quickly and said, "We never have to force women to find them."
"Okay, then hurry up and go to the hospital to help. You don't have to follow me anymore." Xu Rui kicked Lei Xiang on the butt, kicked him out of the regiment headquarters, and then went straight back to where he was going.
However, Xu Rui's residence was also deserted, with no one around.
Not only was Sai Hongfu absent, but also the pretty maid Xiao Taohong was nowhere to be seen.
Shaking the kettle on the table, he found that there was still some cold water in it, so he poured a glass of water, drank the cold boiled water and ate the two steamed buns that Gao Chu had just dropped on the floor. After eating, Xu Rui planned to take a nap first. This time in Huainan The trip lasted for half a month, and they barely slept a sound sleep during this half month, so they felt sleepy as soon as they sat down.
But before Xu Rui went to bed, Leng Tiefeng walked in with a gloomy face.
Seeing Leng Tiefeng's expression, Xu Rui's sleepiness disappeared instantly. He knew that Leng Tiefeng probably had something important to tell him, and it was probably about the missing batch of gold.
Sure enough, as soon as Leng Tiefeng sat down he said: "Old Xu, there is indeed such a batch of gold."
When Xu Rui heard this, the hairs all over his body suddenly stood up, and he asked anxiously: "How much gold is there?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "I don't know the exact number, but it should be similar to your estimate."
Xu Rui added: "Where is this batch of gold now? Does anyone know except you?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "The gold is sinking in Yangcheng Lake. Apart from me, I am afraid that no one else in the world knows the whereabouts of this batch of gold."
Hearing this, Xu Rui let out a sigh of relief.
What Leng Tiefeng said is basically the same as Xu Rui's judgment.
Because in the original historical time and space, after this batch of gold was transported out of the vault of the Bank of Eight by the special agent battalion directly under the Tax Police Corps, it mysteriously disappeared. Even Minister Song himself, who ordered the shipment of this batch of gold, did not know After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Minister Song sent the military and police to search for the final whereabouts of this batch of gold, but found nothing. In the end, it could only be believed that the Japanese army intercepted the batch of gold and deliberately destroyed all relevant evidence.
But Xu Rui traveled from later generations. He had read Japan's official declassified information and knew that the Japanese army had not obtained this batch of gold. However, by that time, because the National Army was defeated in Taiwan, all information about that batch of gold was destroyed. It is almost impossible to find out the whereabouts of this batch of gold.
In the end, this batch of gold amounting to more than one million taels became a historical unsolved case.
Then, Leng Tiefeng told Xu Rui everything that happened at that time: the whole story of the gold sinking into the lake.
Anyone who has studied political economics knows that before World War II, if you wanted to use currency, you could not do it casually. Instead, you had to have reserves. In other words, if you wanted to use currency worth one tael of gold, just A certain proportion of gold must be set aside as reserves, otherwise, others will not accept your currency.
The legal currency used by the National Government at that time also required reserves. Otherwise, the Western powers would not recognize the value of your currency at all. Then the legal currency you used was just a piece of waste paper with no purchasing power at all. In order to stabilize the currency value, the National Government maintained its treasury in the Bank of Eight Countries. Nearly two million taels of gold are stored in it.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, due to the depletion of tax sources and sharp increase in fiscal expenditures, the National Government had no choice but to activate the money printing press and print a large amount of legal tender. As a result, the Western powers ran on the legal tender. After paying a certain amount of gold, the National Government declared the legal tender Decouple from gold and allow the unrestricted devaluation of fiat currencies.
That is to say, the National Government cheated and was no longer responsible for the legal currency it paid in the past.
At the same time, they took advantage of the chaos and forcibly took out the gold stored in the vaults of the Eight-Nation Bank, and protected it under the protection of the tax police corps, preparing to transport it to Wuhan for camp. As a result, this action led to retaliation from the concession authorities and leaked the information to the Japanese. , the Japanese secret service in Shanghai urgently contacted the military and sent troops to intercept.
At that time, the Battle of Songhu was coming to an end, and the National Army had been defeated across the board. It was no longer possible for the Secret Service Battalion of the Tax Police Corps to protect the gold and break through the heavy siege of the Japanese army. Leng Tiefeng, then the commander of the Secret Service Battalion of the Tax Police Corps, So he used a subcontracting plan to secretly sink the real gold into Yangcheng Lake, and then escorted the fake gold to continue on the road. At the bank of Taihu Lake, he encountered the Tachibana Alliance who came to intercept the gold. He was seriously injured and was in critical condition, and was temporarily assigned to the team. The 79th Division rescued him. (To be continued.)
