Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 886 Reminder to Headquarters (First update!)

"The two chiefs, the head of the regiment, and the political commissar, the equipment I just mentioned is just a small head that we seized this time!"

"A reorganization division's equipment is only a small head?" The deputy chief of staff was stunned, staring at Huang Yuanqiang in disbelief.

Soon, the face was covered with a huge surprise: "Kuai, tell us, what is the big head seized this time?"

Commander Chen also stared at Huang Yuanqiang with staring eyes, and then looked at Huang Yuanqiang expectantly.

"Yes, chief!" Huang Yuanqiang affirmed.

Then he took out a list and reported: "The largest seizures are materials and ammunition, of which materials accounted for the bulk. Including 12 devil army coats, [-] sets of winter combat quilts, and [-] blankets. These quilts are separately equipped with troops, which can at least meet the winter needs of our [-] Eighth Route Army."

"In addition, there are 1000 to 250 million catties of grain, [-] tons of various canned food, and [-] tons of medicines..."

This time, it was Commander Chen who was the first to react. Excited, he directly interrupted as the owner of this batch of supplies: "I got rich, I really got rich... Chief of Staff, with these supplies and uniforms, not only will the Taiyue Military Region You don’t need to worry about food and quilts, and you can support Northwest Shanxi and Good Night!”

"Yan'an is colder than here in winter. My idea is to support Yan'an with [-] sets of quilts, military coats, and blankets, support [-] sets in Northwest Shanxi, and support [-] sets in Taihang Military Region. Take them away when you go to the headquarters. [-] sets, the rest will be left in the Taiyue Military Region, and each military region will be divided into [-] sets..."

Five thousand sets of quilts, military overcoats, and blankets, with the current equipment level of the Eighth Route Army, can equip 1 people.

Other military divisions have a brigade of the main force, plus local troops, [-] sets may be just enough.

But my own four divisions are different. A main force regiment plus local troops can only have 5000 people at full strength. Even if the army expands, it will be difficult to reach 1 people in a short time. [-] sets are enough, and there are many more .

Therefore, even though most of the supplies flew away, Wang Ping had no opinion at all, and after thinking about it, he agreed: "Commander, I agree!"

Commander Chen nodded and continued: "Medicine is a good thing that the entire Eighth Route Army lacks. The Chief of Staff is yours to share, but the Xinyi Regiment and the directly subordinate brigade paid a very heavy price for this battle. The combined wounded of the two troops There are nearly 2000 people. These medicines must meet the needs of these two troops before they can be distributed!"

"In terms of food, I plan to support 200 million catties in Yan'an, nearly 200 million catties in Northwest Shanxi, and 200 million catties in the Taihang base area. Chief of Staff, you will bring back 200 million catties to the headquarters, and the rest will stay in the Taiyue Military Region. Each military division will have 100 million catties. , the troops directly under the military region are divided into 100 million catties!"

"I agree... Commissar Huang, you continue!" the deputy chief of staff hesitated for a few seconds and affirmed.

Huang Yuanqiang, who had been standing all the time, continued to report: "In addition to the seizures at the railway station and the warehouses of the Japanese puppet army in Linfen City, we also seized a large amount of materials and gold and silver from the hands of the little devils in Linfen City and the Chamber of Commerce."

"I won't say much about the materials, they are too complicated, and the quantity is messy, and they haven't been fully counted yet!"

"I'm mainly going to report on the gold and silver we seized from these devils!"

"Including 420 five catties of gold and gold ornaments, 650 three catties of silver and silver ornaments, 68 yuan of oceans, and 530 pieces of various antique calligraphy and paintings. In addition, there are 529 yuan in French currency and 92 yen in yen. 600 yuan, 21 U.S. dollars, and 5000 pounds sterling were all seized from the private treasury of several little devil presidents."

"What our team leader means is that except Dayang left 530 yuan and French currency left 600 yuan, all the remaining funds will be handed over!"

From the faces of the Chief of Staff and Commander Chen, Wang Ping saw great surprises.

You know, Chongqing now distributes military salaries and funds to the Eighth Route Army every month at 70 million French currency. If those gold, silver, oceans, Japanese yen, US dollars, and British pounds are all replaced with less and less valuable legal currency, it will be the Eighth Route Army One year more military pay and funds.

As the direct confiscator of this batch of finances, Wang Ping only left less than [-]% of the finances, and the two of them did not disagree.

The chief of staff affirmed without hesitation: "I agree. However, the Xinyi Regiment and the directly subordinate brigade paid a very heavy price for these funds, and they had to be seriously injured. On behalf of the Eighth Route Army, I decided that the Xinyi Regiment and the directly subordinate brigade will each be rewarded with [-] yuan. Legal currency. As living allowances and allowances for soldiers!"

"Thank you, chief!" Wang Ping affirmed.

Then he suddenly thought of something, frowned and reminded: "Chief, Commander, I have an idea, I don't know if I should mention it or not?"

"Speak up!" the deputy chief of staff replied.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Wang Ping replied: "I hope that the chief will issue an order to all the Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army after answering the headquarters. No matter what method is used, immediately spend all the French currency in his hand in the Kuomintang-controlled area. It is best to spend all the French currency in his hand in the Kuomintang-controlled area. It doesn't matter if you trade with those traitors, even if you lose a little!"

"I'd rather spend what I owe. What's the reason...Wang Ping, did you think of something else? I remember that you are also an expert in economic development and have a good eye. Have you discovered something?" the deputy chief of staff immediately asked. .

As the head of the headquarters, he is more aware of the circulation of legal currency in the base area and the Eighth Route Army than Wang Ping.

Because Chongqing gave the Eighth Route Army military salaries and funds a year or two ago, all in French currency, and the French currency is indeed the currency designated by Chongqing.All together, tens of millions, or even tens of millions are possible.

More importantly, in order to deal with possible accidents, whether it is Yan'an, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, or even the bases and main divisions below, a lot of legal currency has been reserved as a strategic fund.

If there is any problem with the legal currency, not only the people in the base areas will suffer greatly, but the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, even Yan'an, will suffer huge losses.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Wang Ping's suggestion, the deputy chief of staff's expression became serious, and then he looked at Wang Ping seriously.

Wang Ping knows that not only in China, but in the whole world, there is no such thing as inflation.

In order to avoid huge losses to the base area, Wang Ping didn't mind revealing something to attract the attention and vigilance of the two chiefs.

After organizing the thoughts in his head, he analyzed to the two people: "Chief, don't you feel that the purchasing power of legal currency is getting worse and worse compared to before?"

"When the legal currency was first issued, one ocean could be exchanged for one currency, and there were few legal currencies at that time. Now, if you exchange two yuan of legal currency for someone else's one ocean, others may not be willing! This is due to the lack of real large-scale issuance of legal currency in Chongqing. If Chongqing starts to issue legal currency on a large scale in order to feed more and more troops, I don’t know whether the legal currency will be money or waste paper at that time, maybe no one will agree to exchange 50 yuan of legal currency for an ocean!”

The expression on the deputy chief of staff's face became more serious, and he immediately recognized the key point in Wang Ping's words.He frowned and reminded.

"You mean, Chongqing will issue legal currency on a large scale!"

"That's for sure!" Wang Ping replied very positively.

"Chongqing controls fewer and fewer provinces, and its tax revenue is lower than that of the original two. Loans from abroad are limited. And they need to support more and more troops. Military salaries, equipment, ammunition, and supplies all need money. Coupled with the prevalence of corruption in Chongqing, if there is no large-scale issuance of legal currency and large-scale printing of legal currency, there is no way for him to solve this problem!"
