There is actually nothing much to say about the Meishan Branch of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. It is nothing more than finding teachers and venues, and allocating a batch of teaching equipment and teaching funds. Moreover, this will also be of great benefit to the growth of the Meishan Military Division, whether Xu Rui or Wang Husheng didn't have any reason to object, so the deal was settled quickly. 』
Seeing that it was already noon, Wang Husheng smiled and said, "Secretary Xiang, why don't you have lunch first?"
"There's no rush, we haven't finished talking yet, this meal is tasteless." The number two commander waved his hand after hearing this.
Xu Rui immediately turned his head and glanced at Wang Husheng, is there anything else? Wang Husheng was also confused. Before he came here, he only talked about three things. One was about gold, the other was about the branch of the Anti-Japanese University, and then he was to visit and condolences the wounded and meritorious soldiers. But this was not in a hurry. Apart from these three So, is there anything else
Instinctively, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng both felt something was wrong.
Could it be that the chief wanted to attack the rich men in their military division
Sure enough, the second commander continued: "That's it. Although our new Fourth Army nominally belongs to the order of battle of the National Revolutionary Army, and the Ministry of Military Affairs has also promised to pay us military salaries, what about in reality? Since the establishment of the New Fourth Army, The Ministry of Military Affairs did not allocate a penny, let alone a gun or a bullet!"
Xu Rui immediately echoed loudly: "No, the Kuomintang reactionaries don't have any good people."
"Don't interrupt." The second commander glared at Xu Rui displeasedly, and then continued, "The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs refuses to give us money, and Little Japan is blocking us again, especially in the recent period, even the Kuomintang-controlled areas have begun to blockade us. We, so our New Fourth Army is having a hard time right now, but your military subdivision is living a good life."
Wang Husheng said: "Secretary Xiang, our life is actually not easy..."
"Stop it, your life is not easy? How about we change?" The second commander snorted softly and said, "I'll say it one last time, don't interrupt. If you interrupt again, I will move the New Fourth Army headquarters to your Dameishan." Come, eat your rich family, and see if you still dare to cry poverty to me when the time comes?"
Xu Rui said with a sad face: "Chief, are you being unreasonable?"
Wang Husheng also started to help: "Yes, Secretary Xiang, we had already said it before. As long as it does not violate the national and military disciplines and organizational principles, we can do whatever we like in Damei Mountain, and all the property we create will belong to us, and the military department will You can’t beat us wealthy people just because we are doing better now.”
The second commander laughed and said, "Now do you admit that life is better?"
"That's all." Xu Rui scratched his head and said, "I can barely get by."
"You can say this is barely getting by? How many factories have been built alone?" The second commander said with his fingers, "I'll count them for you, power plants, arsenals, cement plants, steel plants, brick factories, and more soon. What do you think the annual output value of the coal chemical plants and pharmaceutical plants under construction will be? How much profit will they make?"
Xu Rui said: "How much output value is there, it's not enough for our own use, how can there be any export sales, what profit? Chief, that's not how accounts are calculated, you have to calculate how much we paid to get these equipment, to build these factories , and how much we invested, you don’t know that all this money was borrowed from fellow villagers in the base area.”
The second commander snorted and said: "If you want to say that, then I have to send people from the Security Department down to check Captain Leng's identity and origins to see if he is really from Guangdong as he said. An orphan picked up by the old squad leader from Chenzhou? I believe it is not difficult to investigate this matter."
When Xu Rui heard this, his face immediately turned into a bitter gourd.
Wang Husheng also showed his hands to Xu Rui, meaning that I have tried my best.
The second commander snorted softly and said: "As a party member and a senior commander of the New Fourth Army, you can't just think about your own one-third of an acre. You have to think about the overall situation and be political, right?"
After a pause, the No. 2 commander continued: "Let me put it bluntly. You can keep at most 20% of the weapons and ammunition produced by the arsenal and the various drugs produced by the pharmaceutical factory. The rest will be handed over to the military headquarters. The Ministry will distribute them uniformly, and you will keep half of the profits generated by coal chemical plants, cement factories, brick factories, etc., and the remaining half will be handed over to the Military Ministry."
"Don't." Xu Rui immediately shouted, "Chief, you are robbing, this is too cruel."
Wang Husheng also said with a grimace: "Secretary Xiang, only 20% of weapons, ammunition and medicines are left. This is too little."
"Yeah, it's too little." Xu Rui began to counteroffer, "You have to keep half of it no matter what, at least half!"
"Don't bargain with me." No. 2 Commander smiled, "If you don't agree, then I have no choice. If not, I will send people from the Security Department down to check the details of your Captain Leng."
Xu Rui and Wang Husheng immediately became mute, and they were being manipulated.
Seeing that Xu Rui and Wang Husheng were silent, the No. 2 commander smiled and said, "Don't speak? If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence."
"Admit it, what else can you do if you don't admit it." Xu Rui said angrily, "They say there are nine-headed birds in the sky and Hubei guys on the ground. I really didn't believe it before, but today I believe it. Chang, I'm afraid of you. "
"Haha, that's right!" The second commander patted Xu Rui on the shoulder and said, "Um, I'm hungry. Let's go for a walk or eat. I can already smell the aroma of pig head meat. Let's go quickly. .”
After saying that, the No. 2 leader walked out of the door with his hands behind his back. Xu Rui and Wang Husheng looked at each other, and then followed him with a slumped head. This meal was even more delicious for the No. 2 leader, but Xu Rui and Wang Husheng ate it. It's boring. They just beat the rich and took over the rich. Do you think the two of them can feel happy
At the dinner table, seeing Xu Rui and Wang Husheng looking sad, the number two boss finally told them the good news.
"Don't be so gloomy, you two. Do you really think I'm eating and taking your food for free?" No. 2 took a piece of pig head meat and put it into his mouth. A look of great satisfaction immediately appeared on his face, and he said, "I To tell you the truth, I have already made a report to the central government, requesting the central government to send a group of experts and scholars who understand chemical industry and medicine. In addition, the military department will also use all connections to find skilled workers who understand chemical industry and medicine for you."
Xu Rui was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately grabbed the wine bottle and said, "Sir, I have to toast you for saying this to you."
"No, no, stop it." The number two captain blocked the bottle with his hand and said, "We have already agreed that we won't drink, we will only eat. Don't tempt me. I'm a weak-willed person, but I can't stand the temptation of alcohol."
"One drink, just one drink!" Xu Rui insisted, "Chief, you don't know, you have helped us a lot. Yesterday Lao Wang and I were still worried, looking at the pharmaceutical factory and the coal chemical plant. We got all the complete sets of equipment back, but when we got back we realized that we were short of people and there was no one to engage in craftsmanship and production, don’t you think so, Lao Wang?”
Wang Husheng also said: "What's wrong? I was so worried about this that I didn't sleep all night. Secretary Xiang, I know that you were engaged in the labor movement in Wuhan, Shanghai and other places more than ten years ago, and you were also in Wuhan Having established a workers' club, I must have many old friends and connections in the factory. I leave it to you if this is true."
The second leader chuckled and said proudly: "Xiao Xu, Xiao Wang, it's really not my fault. It's hard for you to ask anyone else for this matter, so just ask me. Let me tell you this, from now on From Shanghai to Wuhan, and then to Chongqing, as long as it is a factory with a name, I have old connections. I can mobilize any kind of people you want, not just a group of people who understand chemical engineering and a group of people who understand pharmaceuticals. Workers, just wait, at most half a month, and I will send them to you!"
"Long!" Xu Rui said happily, "Because of your attitude, we have to have a drink today!"
It was also at this time that Xu Rui suddenly remembered that this Lao Xiang was a well-known leader of the labor movement in China at that time. There was a shortage of skilled industrial workers, so just look to him for help!
At that moment, Xu Rui pushed away the hands of the second commander and poured a glass of wine.
The second captain couldn't resist, so he had to say: "Just one drink, just one drink!"
"Okay, okay, one drink, just one drink." Xu Rui naturally agreed.
The second captain agreed to only drink one glass of wine, but once the alcohol bug was aroused, it was not that easy to suppress it. In the end, the three of them drank nine bottles of sake, and the second captain drank too much. He also complained loudly about Xu Rui and Wang Husheng: You two are asking me to make mistakes.
(Dividing line)
Now let’s talk about Little Japan.
After the imperial meeting, various departments in Little Japan immediately began to operate in full swing. The only weapons and ammunition in the warehouse were urgently transported to Shanghai, and then transported by railway to Nanjing from Shanghai. After receiving the order from the base camp, Central China dispatched the Condemnation Army Headquarters Ye Xun began to formulate a plan.
The entire combat plan is still led by Kawabe Shozo.
It's funny to say that Shozo Kawabe escaped. Although the battle plan drawn up by Shozo Kawabe to raid Damei Mountain ended in failure, due to the first-class escape ability of the 104th Division, he did not survive. They suffered too much losses. When the battle was over, the statistics showed that there were only more than a thousand casualties.
Moreover, among the more than a thousand casualties, no more than a hundred were seriously injured, and most of them were only slightly injured.
This is really a miracle. With the intensity of the explosion at Hat Mountain at that time, it is simply unimaginable. How did these Osaka merchants of the 104th Division survive
It was precisely because the losses of the 104th Division were not as great as expected that Shozo Kawabe was able to escape. Otherwise, he would definitely have to be responsible for this defeat. Therefore, Shozo Kawabe who escaped was thankful. I vented my hatred and anger on the Dameishan Military Division, determined to avenge this arrow. (To be continued.)
