Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Know yourself and your enemy and you will never be in danger, whether you are fighting head-on or debating with the American officer corps, it is the same.

The Dragon Boat Festival must be fully prepared, targeting each person's characteristics, and then leaving the other party speechless during the debate.

But at this moment, Zheng Yaoxian called again.

After hearing the call, Duanwu just said three words: I understand.

Duanwu immediately hung up the phone and continued to look at his own information.

All the information added up to more than 200,000 words, and all of them were written in English. I spent a whole night reading it during the Dragon Boat Festival.

But in the morning of the next day, Duanwu had to go to work to deal with matters related to applying for funding from the Ministry of Finance.

The advance payment made with August was reported by Secretary-General Yang to the Chairman for special matters. However, this allocation still requires Duanwu to go to the Ministry of Finance to sign several documents.

Moreover, purchasing weapons from August is not just about paying an advance payment and the deposit is over. A lot of cash will be needed in the future.

This time, Dragon Boat Festival purchased weapons and equipment for thirty divisions, and each division cost 1.2 million US dollars.

And Dragon Boat Festival only paid 400,000 US dollars, so the gap was very large.

So even if he didn't sleep all night during the Dragon Boat Festival, he still had to rush to the Economic Development Office to meet Wei Qin the next day.

Wei Qin brought a middle-aged woman today, she is in her forties, she looks very ordinary, like an ordinary housewife, with a hairpin and a curler on the back of her head.

The clothes were also very simple. Wei Qin said: This person is called Mrs. Qing, and from today on she will be in charge of the final work of the Economic Development Office.

Duanwu nodded, but then said: "Sister-in-law Qing, it's okay to clean other places, but don't touch my desk. If you mess it up, I won't be able to find some things."

Sister-in-law Qing quickly bowed and said, "Yes, director."

Duanwu waved his hand and asked Mrs. Qing to go to work, but asked Xiang Wei Qin: "Are all the materials for applying for the grant ready?"

Wei Qin replied: "Everything is ready, but I still need your official seal."

Duanwu took out the key and official seal from his drawer, then threw it to Wei Qin and said, "Let's go to the Ministry of Finance."

"Yes, Director!"

Wei Qin caught the official seal, wrapped it in a piece of paper and put it in her small bag, then followed the Dragon Boat Festival to the Ministry of Finance.

At this time, the Ministry of Finance is in dire straits, and the only reason is that there is no money.

When the Dragon Boat Festival arrived, Minister Wang from the Ministry of Finance was searching through mountains of data.

Nowadays, each army needs military pay, jointly owned enterprises need development funds, and even the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Munitions, and major headquarters all need allocations.

But where does he have the money? Minister Song of the Ministry of Finance is rich, but it is other people’s money. And thanks to Minister Song as a minister, otherwise the Ministry of Finance might not be able to survive long ago.

At this moment, someone announced that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming.

Minister Wang's mouth twitched, and his face suddenly turned green, because among the bills to be allocated, the Dragon Boat Festival bill was the largest.

But can he shirk his absence? The chairman of the committee personally explained the purchase of weapons and equipment. Moreover, the price of the weapons and equipment Duanwu purchased this time was already very favorable, and he simply could not refuse.

So even if there is no more money, Minister Wang still has to meet Dragon Boat Festival.

His office was too messy, so Minister Wang invited Duanwu to the small conference room.

Duanwu and Wei Qin arrived at the small conference room under the guidance of Minister Wang's secretary, and at this moment, Minister Wang arrived belatedly.

But it can be seen that he came running. Hot and sweaty.

Duanwu smiled and said, "Is Minister Wang going for a run?"

Minister Wang smiled bitterly and said: "Where do I have time to run? I am in a hurry."

At this point, he looked around, then asked his secretary to make tea, while he closed the door of the small conference room, asked Duanwu and Wei Qin to sit down, and then said: "My uncle is not an outsider, we have been together before Even though we had some minor unpleasantness, those are things in the past."

At this time, Minister Wang was talking about what happened in Nanjing. At that time, many of them invested in Paramount, but they ended up having conflicts with Duanwu because of Miss Bai.

Dragon Boat Festival stole a lot of money from them at that time, so there were conflicts with Boss Dai, Director Xu, Minister Wang, Minister Sun from the Munitions Department, etc.

But later, both parties shook hands and made peace, and these past events came to an end.

But at this time, Minister Wang brought up the old things again, not because he was bored, but because he was afraid that Duanwu would think that it was the original thing and he was deliberately making things difficult.

So Minister Wang mentioned what happened before, and then continued to talk friendly: "Uncle, to tell you the truth, finances are tight nowadays, and it is very difficult to come up with millions of dollars at once.

Let me tell you this, just referring to the little money in the finance, it is not even enough to pay military pay. What's more, the arsenal, the food and drink of the frontline soldiers, and the repairs of the houses of various theater headquarters, including their daily expenses, as well as the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Agriculture, etc., all have enough reasons to come to me for money. . But the Ministry of Finance really can’t come up with that much money. "

Duanwu listened carefully to Minister Wang's complaints, and after he finished sending it, he said: "I understand Minister Wang's difficulties, but you have to approve this money no matter what. Because you may have heard about it, the little devil is now Heading straight to Wuhan, the Battle of Wuhan may start at any time. The soldiers on the front line will be fine if they don't receive military pay for a month, but if there is no supply of weapons and equipment, do you think what the consequences will be?"

Minister Wang said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, what I said is absolutely true. But at present, it is difficult for the Ministry of Finance to come up with half a million US dollars, let alone you need 3.2 million US dollars. Let me tell you this , even if you shoot me now, the Ministry of Finance still doesn’t have that much money.”

Duanwu smiled and said: "I think this is feasible. Minister Wang, have you heard of such a story?

Said: In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao fought against Yuan Shu in Shouchun. Cao Cao was short of food and encountered a severe drought. The person in charge of food at that time was Wang He, the warehouse official under Ren Jun. He asked Cao Cao for instructions on what to do. Cao Cao asked him to distribute small dendrobium to the soldiers. Wang Jie said: "If you do this, the army will complain." Cao Cao said: "Just do it this way, I have a good plan." Wang Jie followed Cao Cao's intention, and as expected the troops complained. At this time, Cao Cao secretly summoned Wang Jie and used Wang Jie's head to calm the morale of the army, making Wang Jie the scapegoat. "

Minister Wang's neck felt cold and his scalp felt numb after hearing this story. If another person said this, Minister Wang would definitely scold his eight generations of ancestors, and also think about whether the other party had the right to do so.

But he has no doubts about Duan Wu at all, because this boy Duan Wu can do anything! .
