mixed in the war

"a shame!"

Huangshan Villa.Yunxiu Tower.

With a "crackling" sound, a large vase that was said to be quite old fell into pieces.

"Darling." Soong Meiling looked at the furious old Jiang with an embarrassed expression, "Brother, he..."

"What about him? He is self-righteous! He thinks that no one else can compare to him, and that he himself is the most correct." Lao Jiang's resentment towards Song Ziwen is not a day or two.In the past, Song Meiling's face was always hindered, and the most angry time was to slap Song Ziwen, and it was when the two of them were alone, but now if Song Ziwen was in front of him, he would not slap him, but would like to use his crutches to directly It smashed Song Ziwen into pieces like that vase, even if Song Meiling was standing by the side.And the reason why he is so resentful is because Song Ziwen "failed".After repeated insinuations by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, as well as various methods of inquiry, the efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Yan Huiqing and others were basically in vain.

"A loan of 400 million U.S. dollars, but only got [-] million? He still has the nerve to give me credit—?"

"But this... is better than nothing, right?" Song Meiling said in a low voice.

"No? How much difference is this little money from having nothing?" Chiang Kai-shek kept hitting the floor with his crutches, as if he had committed chicken claw madness. , and is still a very capable young wife, as an "old man", he still has some lack of confidence, "What a good plan? Huh? We are asking for 400 million U.S. dollars now. Once the United States enters the war, we can propose a higher price." The loan requirements, and even let the Americans directly pay for our military expenses! But now he only needs to pay [-] million... How can you ask me to speak to others again then?"

"The Americans are not without brains. How could they agree to pay the military expenses of our millions of troops?" Soong Meiling tried to speak to her elder brother.Because she knew that Lao Jiang was really angry this time.Money is what is fought in war, and it has been the case since ancient times.And Lao Jiang took over such a huge armored corps not long ago, and the speed of spending money is even faster.If it used to be a small river rushing, it is now the surging Yellow River.A leak of thousands of miles.But even if he knew that raising such an armored corps was more expensive than raising an army of millions, Lao Jiang was reluctant to let these weapons lie there.Armored troops!Since the torrent of German armor swept across Europa, who doesn't want to have such a powerful armored force in their hands?Especially in a poor country like China, it is even more thought of in the bones.In the past, there was no such thing as a show, and we had to test the waters with four images, such as Du Yuming's Fifth Army, known as China's first mechanized army.In fact, there are only a few light tanks and chariots bought from abroad; and now we finally got a real armored force without spending money, let alone let such a powerful armed force stop there as a specimen reason.But the problem is, it takes money, a lot of money, a lot of money! [

"You don't understand." Old Jiang sighed, "Let the Americans pay for our military expenses. This is entirely possible. As long as they are defeated in the Philippines, as long as we show the strength to fight against Japan, they will definitely be willing to spend This money. This is confirmed by the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and those experts."

"The elder brother is going to the United States, why didn't anyone tell him?" Song Meiling was angry, "Isn't this just watching him jump into the pit? Will that Yan Huiqing handle things? Does he have some kind of conspiracy?"

"What's the conspiracy?" Chiang Kai-shek said angrily, "Your elder brother is so arrogant. He doesn't even look down on me, so how can he look down on such a bad old man like Yan Huiqing?...He just wants to quickly conclude this loan agreement , Returning with credit, and eager to win the position of the executive dean, Yan Huiqing never gave Yan Huiqing the opportunity to explain the whole plan. As a result, Yan Huiqing had no choice but to secretly tell him the plan at the negotiating table, but he was lucky... Regardless of the overall situation!"

"Impossible, my elder brother will never delay state affairs because of personal matters." Song Meiling shouted, "There must be something wrong here."

"What kind of question can let him know our plan. But still go his own way?" Chiang Kai-shek began to hit the floor with his crutches again.

"Darling, I think you should find someone to ask carefully...I can't let my elder brother suffer such wrongs for nothing." Soong Meiling ignored Lao Jiang's anger. I dare not send it to her... The biggest problem now is Song Ziwen.If her big brother really caused the Chinese "government" loan amount to drop by more than [-] million yuan, this problem is really too big.Even Lao Jiang might not be able to keep Song Ziwen's seat.What's more, Lao Jiang may not be willing to protect his brother-in-law.Furthermore, her eldest brother-in-law has always looked down on her elder brother, and the two have been fighting for the position of the executive president and the financial power of the national government for so many years.I don't have much love for a long time.Given such an opportunity, it would be no wonder that Kong Xiangxi didn't rush to make trouble, even if her eldest sister came forward, she would definitely not be able to stop her.

But the question is, why did Song Ziwen make such a mistake?

***********************************

"He is trying to hold Yang Yang to his own dignity!"

Kong Xiangxi was so angry that he slammed the document on the table.His fat face couldn't help shaking, and it was a step away from becoming a strip of flesh.

"It's none of my business whether he wants to be self-respecting or not? Why did you ask me to come?" Qin Wei scratched his fingernails annoyedly: "I have a rare free time recently, and I just want to go for a stroll with my wife on the Jialing River."

"Don't pretend to be with me." Kong Xiangxi sneered, "He Song Ziwen didn't bite the fat, but he only ate oil residue. You spent more than 100 million US dollars in vain, aren't you angry?

"I'm not angry." Qin Wei spread his hands, "Anyway, as long as this matter is revealed, my uncle from another country will definitely have to pay me back. I don't intend to treat this money as private property, so I don't want to use public money. The road is absolutely smooth. At that time, let alone a loan of two or three hundred million, even four or five hundred million, he will have to support me, President Song. Why am I angry?"

"If this can make you bribe your Chief Qin, then I will gain knowledge." Kong Xiangxi still sneered, "Or, I will help you get money, and you will also pay the debt that our Kong family owes you. How is it?"

"What's the difference?" Qin Wei curled his lips, "Right now, one dollar is worth nearly 40 yuan to French currency, which is still the national legal exchange rate, and one pound can be exchanged to more than four dollars to the US dollar, which is 1000 million pounds. At least 16 billion French currency, to the black market Maybe you can get back three or four billion yuan, and you want to get a loan of several hundred million yuan to get even? Then I am too easy to spend?" [

"1000 million pounds, converted into US dollars is as high as 5000 million; but Song Ziwen lost at least 7000 million US dollars this time! Why don't you count this account?" Kong Xiangxi shouted loudly.

"Public is public, private is private, and public and private must be distinguished." Qin Wei raised his head innocently, "Besides, I am a soldier, and I don't care about finances. Is there a "gross" relationship with this matter?"

"I, Kong, is not a good person. I know this, but after all, I am also the chief executive officer, and I am not a soft guy who can be bullied. No matter how great your meritorious service is, no matter how high your status is in the chairman's mind, you can take it You want to suppress me with a debt of 1000 million? Even if I don’t admit it, who in China can do nothing to get me?” Kong Xiangxi said coldly, “I just admire that you would rather give your wealth to others. The country, so every time you blackmail me, you will only give in, otherwise, what can you do to me?"

"Do you want to show your patriotism, or your excellent character?" Qin Wei glanced at the fat man in front of him in astonishment, then looked up at the ceiling. "I was praised by a corrupt official leader? Is there truth in this world?"

"Stop pretending." Kong Xiangxi yelled, "Song Ziwen took the opportunity to sell himself to the Yankees... just received the news that the US "government" has clearly expressed dissatisfaction with us, and the official letter has been delivered. Wang Chonghui is there."

"The U.S. "government" is dissatisfied with us not once or twice, what is there to care about?" Qin Wei continued to lower his head and pick his nails, "If you have the ability, you can ask Roosevelt to come forward and invite me to a duel!"

"Do you still remember Chennault's construction of airports in Chengdu, Kunming and other places some time ago?" Kong Xiangxi knew that if he didn't reveal the information.Qin Wei is definitely impossible to speak for himself, and as one of China's largest financial sources at present, the dissatisfaction of the US "government" will still put a lot of pressure on Lao Jiang and the Nationalist "government".At that time, the possibility of resisting this pressure by oneself alone is not great.He had to ask Qin Wei for help.Because Qin Wei is the only one who has the ability to help him in this regard.

"I know that. Dean Kong is trying to show off his merits?" Qin Wei shrugged and looked at Kong Xiangxi with a smile.Ever since I met Kong Xiangxi.This incident is probably the most satisfying thing the fat man has done.After Japan's surprise attack on the United States, Chennault's "Flying Tigers" were no longer the original American Volunteer Air Force, but were reorganized into the 10rd Battalion under the 23th Air Force of the United States Army. 16 Fighter Squadrons make up the U.S. Air Force China Task Force.Also attached to the 10th Air Force of the U.S. Army, Chennault was the commander of the U.S. Air Task Force in China and was promoted to Brigadier General.However, today's America is not the same as before.Because the main railway artery and the Panama Canal, an important waterway, were also bombed by the Japanese army, and the navy also suffered heavy losses, so the only thing they can send out to fight the Japanese is the air force.Although American airlines were also bombed by the Japanese and suffered heavy losses, Roosevelt had ordered the large-scale manufacture of various aircraft a long time ago. Southeast Asia, and China sending air forces.The size of the air task force stationed in China is not just what it is now, but will be further expanded.And this also makes it impossible for China to build larger airports.The various supporting facilities of these airports must also be perfected, and the runways cannot be simply compacted by hand like those of the Eighth Route Army's airports on the Taihang Mountains, so it costs a lot of money.However, since these airports mainly serve the U.S. aviation force, and the Americans are rich and powerful, it is the U.S. military that pays.

The Americans paid for the construction of air force bases in Chengdu, Kunming and other places. According to the agreement, the wages of the workers were directly paid by the US military, which required a large amount of legal currency.Unexpectedly, the Americans did not take the right path, but instead sold the dollar bills they brought on the black market.At this time, the official exchange rate was more than 30 yuan per dollar of legal currency, but the black market was more than 80 yuan.Kong Xiangxi felt dissatisfied that the U.S. military’s actions had affected the value of the French currency, so he negotiated with the U.S. military to negotiate that the Chinese “government” try to provide legal currency cash for the U.S. to use, and the U.S. military should deliver the corresponding U.S. dollars according to China’s legal exchange rate.This aroused the dissatisfaction of the US military.It costs more than double the money.As a result, the matter was brought up by the foreign affairs department to the U.S. Treasury Department, and then to Henry Morgenthau Jr.'s desk.Based on the principle of saving money for the American people, Morgenthau disagreed with the Chinese "government" to do so.Kong Xiangxi resolutely opposed it.He believes that although the value of US dollars in the black market is high at this time, the US side in China, including diplomatic, military and religious education personnel, exchange 40 yuan of legal currency for 1 US dollar bill.That being the case, why does the US military exchange 1 US dollar for 80 yuan of French currency?There are two different prices for income and payment, and you Yankees are too cheap.But Morgenthau just didn't agree with China's request.Kong Xiangxi made a request to Roosevelt through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and persuaded Chiang to send a telegram to Roosevelt to reason.Therefore, Roosevelt agreed to China's request out of overall consideration.But this time and again, the U.S. military has suffered a lot, but China has retained many interests.But this is not a big deal. The most important thing is that this incident has provided a certain factual basis for the Chinese side to provide the corresponding legal currency according to China's official exchange rate to repay the loan.As the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, Morgenthau was naturally very dissatisfied, and he became more and more displeased with Kong Xiangxi, the instigator.

"He, Song Ziwen, caught this sore foot and deliberately sold it to Morgenthau, and then asked Morgenthau to encourage Roosevelt to come out and put pressure on the Chairman, intending to remove me from my position!" Kong Xiangxi shouted.

"Is that so? That's too much!" Qin Wei sighed, and looked at Kong Xiangxi again, "I express my comfort to you mentally!"

"It's not enough mentally." Kong Xiangxi gasped, "Think about it for yourself... If you want to plot against Yankees, should you find someone who has a relationship with them, or someone who can only flatter them? Is the executive director better? Besides, I owe you money, Song Ziwen doesn't owe you money, so I am more suitable for you in this position, or is he more suitable?"

"How do you say that?" Qin Wei "licked" his tongue, "I've always been an upright person, and I don't seek personal gain!"

"Then are you going to help?" Kong Xiangxi called out.

"...how much do you pay?"
