From to 1935 2020

Early the next morning, when Jiao Yixing, the warehouse manager, returned to the warehouse, he sighed inwardly when he saw the hydraulic press that looked so fake that it could be real.Now in this warehouse, all the "old machines" are gone, and the ones placed there, covered with tarpaulins, are all fake wooden products with ostentatious appearances.

"20 more days! Days"

This is the time given to him by the mysterious person named Hu Yunqing. He wants him to continue working as a warehouse keeper here and continue to hide it for 20 days before leaving.

All the valuable things in the Hangzhou warehouse have been emptied, but the Nanjing side has not yet been done.

The reason why Huang Ke attacked Hangzhou at this time was because Shanxi had been defeated and Nanjing was in chaos. Chang Kaishen was preparing to "go to the field to avoid the limelight", which was a good opportunity for him to fish in troubled waters.

Two days later, Huang Ke drove the plane to land in Linxia. The landing site was near the later Liujiaxia Hydropower Station. In a cave transformed into a warehouse, Huang Ke released the hydraulic press and other equipment.

Baoji will be the future production base of the Red Army's front-line military industry, and the more important "military raw material" production base was built in the Linxia area.There are coal, iron, and various rare minerals here, and it is close to the Yellow River, so water is not a problem.It is not possible to choose a suitable location to build the Liujiaxia large hydropower station in the future, but it is much easier to build several thousands of kilowatts of "small hydropower stations".

However, even this so-called small hydropower of several thousand kilowatts will take a long time to build on such a wasteland with nothing.Xiao Huangke estimated through Big Huangke in later generations that he found a knowledgeable person. If we really want to build a hydropower station here, we must first start with a cement plant and a steel bar plant, then build a dam, surround the water, and finally install and put it into operation until it generates power. The cycle is too fast. It will take about two years.

However, the War of Resistance will be a protracted war, and it will take two or three years to wait.

Here in Linxia, ​​not long ago, was the site of the Ma family army. The area where they landed was originally a backward barren hill, but when Huang Ke arrived here, there were already some signs of an industrial base.

More than 3 people are "forced" working in this area. The main tasks are to level the land, dig mountains and mine, and do a good job in the "preparation work" for three levels and one connection.The person in charge of the project implementation now is the man named Dai Jiying.Huang Ke came to Linxia by plane after recuperating from Lanzhou.The airport in Lanzhou is now full of planes—this is the second batch of El V bombers that Stalin transferred from China—the engines are brand new, instead of the last time the ones delivered were all fake.The reason is that the Soviet ground staff here complained to Stalin, and then Da Linzi dealt with many people in a fit of anger.So this time, all the planes sent were replaced with new engines.

The Battle of Qinghai was about to begin, and Ma Bufang's small force could not resist the siege of the [-] Red Army and a bunch of allied troops, with the former Red Second Army as the main force. When the war was over, there would be more laborers working here.

Here in Linxia, ​​some areas have already been connected to electricity, and it is hydropower.The power generation device is some "village brigade level hydropower equipment" imported by Huang Ke, and the power generation power is very small, usually ranging from tens of kilowatts to hundreds of kilowatts.Find a section of the river where the current is relatively fast, and "casually" use some cement and steel to build a small dam to generate electricity. (This kind of rural brigade-level small hydropower equipment was very common in the mountainous areas of southern China before the 21st century. As long as there are hydraulic resources, dozens of people can build a dam with dozens of bags of cement.)

Some mining areas and newly completed cement plants here in Linxia rely on these small hydropower supplies for electricity.The mountainous area of ​​Liujiaxia is rich in hydropower resources, and it takes a long time to build a large hydropower station, but it is very easy to build such a small hydropower station on a small tributary.Dozens of similar small hydropower stations will be built in this area in the future.According to the plan of Soviet experts, a small hydropower station drives dozens of equipment to form a small factory, and dozens of small factories are connected together through waterways, and finally form a small industrial belt with all internal organs.

From the end of May to the end of June, Huang Ke traveled back and forth between Linxia and Nanjing three times, transferring all the important equipment from Hangzhou and the newly imported steelmaking equipment to Linxia. .

For Huang Ke, the only hair that can be squeezed out of Chang Kaishen is the precious equipment of Hou Debang in the Nanjing warehouse.The reason why they haven't done anything yet is because the gun party has paid for it, and the ammonia making machine ordered from Germany has not yet arrived.

What left Huang Ke speechless was the warehouse keeper named Jiao Zhixing, who had fled to Xi'an with his family members under the arrangement of the underground party and concealed his identity.But many days later, there is still no incident in Hangzhou...

On June 25, DuPont received good news that Huang Ke had commissioned them to manufacture the fermentation tanks and other equipment required for the manufacture of streptomycin. They were now loaded onto a freighter and sailed out of the port, and were about to be shipped to Nanjing.

The stocks related to Jinjin Pharmaceutical will be officially listed in November this year after the first batch of streptomycin is produced.At this time, Chang Kaishen failed to play the game of changing horses, and instead lost Henan Province, making finances even more difficult.

But the bad news is not over yet. With the joint march of the Sichuan Army and the Yunnan Army, and the cooperation of the local forces in Guizhou, Gu Zhutong, who was guarding Guizhou, could not withstand the pressure. Almost at the same time that Chang Kaishen lost Henan, With insufficient troops, he led the remnant army to flee to Chongqing. ——Although he claims to have an army of [-], [-]% of his troops are "Dual Spearmen" recruited locally. They are all converted from local regiment training troops. up.

This time when they entered Guizhou, the Sichuan Army and the Yunnan Army dispatched more than 20 troops. Gu Zhutong, a mediocre guard dog, fought with the two armies in central Guizhou for a month. To Chongqing.

In the end, the Sichuan Army and the Yunnan Army divided up the territory of Guizhou, and Chang Kaishen lost another province.

When the news came, Chang Kaishen, who had just returned to the Chairman's Mansion in Nanjing and whose buttocks were still warm, went dark and almost fainted.

At this time, under the eager expectation of many important officials in the Nanjing National Government, Chang Kaishen, who finally came back, tried hard to buy arms from various countries, and at the same time tried hard to "produce himself to save himself".At this time, someone reminded him that he just remembered that there seemed to be a large number of very good machines that were rusting at the warehouse in Hangzhou.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to send someone to check the condition of the machine, news came from Hangzhou that the warehouse where the equipment was stored burst into flames. But they only found a pile of scrap iron and rotten pieces that were burned so badly that they couldn't see clearly.

——Huang Ke did not do the burning of the warehouse by the fire dragon. The reason was that he was afraid that after a fire, he would not find a few metal components in place, which would trigger associations and make people associate this matter with the fire at the Mitsubishi aircraft factory.

But who knows that he didn't set the fire, but someone set it on fire for him first.

An angry Chang Kaishen ordered an investigation, but the real hamster had long since escaped, so there was no chance.

But the case is still broken.

The person who set the fire was an official from the local material management office.Afterwards, Hua Kezhi interrogated Jiao Zhixing, combined with the results of Chang Kaishen's investigation, and combined the information from the two sides to piece together the case history: It turned out that in the past few years, that guy also secretly took out a few from the warehouse. Reselling an old machine has a criminal record.

That guy recently contacted the customer again, wanting to resell the equipment in the warehouse, but when he came to see the goods in person, he found that all the machines in the entire warehouse were fakes made of wood and scrap iron. People got there first and got hollowed out.

Since I am also a hamster, I was shocked and simply set it on fire to destroy the corpse.But he didn't think about it, is steel so easy to burn?The end of Huolong's failure to burn the warehouse is that he went to prison and was tortured and handcuffed by the military commander in charge of the investigation...

But Chang Kaishen's bad luck in July was not over yet.

On the last day at the end of July, Chang Kaishen's "husband minister", the security commander of Hubei Province, Yang Yongtai, was at the Hanyang Wharf preparing to board a ship for Nanjing, when he was suddenly confronted by two assassins shooting at him with MP18s at close range before boarding the ship. He was shot seven times and died instantly.

Due to the fierce firepower of the murderer, the guards protecting him were also swept down, and after the assassin finished shooting, he threw many grenades, causing unprecedented chaos on the scene.Afterwards, he fled to the river, and escaped by water under the support of a small boat that had been prepared for a long time.

This case shocked the whole of Nanjing. After hearing the news, Chang Kaishen lost two provinces and one humerus in a row. His eyes turned black and he passed out on the spot.

After being rescued, Chang Kaishen cried loudly: "If you lose me, you will be filial piety, and I will be killed by heaven!"

When Chang Kaishen was weeping, the creator of the "tea set" who caused his Chang family dynasty to turn into a "tea set" ahead of time was drinking tea and talking about business with his other "brachi".

"Brother Yunong, the batch of cotton spinning machines you want to sell seem to be second-hand. The current situation is so difficult, why did the people in the military command help others to sell the machines?"

"A few days ago, our brothers from the Fuxing Society raided several factories that sold women as slave labor and confiscated these machines..."

"Oh, can't you sell it?"

Dai Li sighed and said, "Just like what you said, brother Yuan Xing, these days, doing business is a dead end!"

"It's really not easy! The dumping of foreign goods is too severe, and it's hard to open the factory."

"But there are still people who need these machines, don't they? In the whole of China, I think only Brother Yuan Xing can eat them."

Dai Li smiled, stretched out his finger to Huang Ke, and showed a number.

"Is this price fair?"

"Well, easy to say, easy to say! Brother Yu Nong, do you want gold or ocean, or something else instead?"

Dai Li shook his head.

"Do not want any!"

"Green plum! It's the kind that Yan Laoxi sold not long ago. This thing is very effective in treating big sores on green plums, and foreigners like it too!"

Huang Ke laughed and said, "That's the medicine made by the red bandits!"

"I know, but I also know, Brother Yuan Xing, you must have a way to get it!"

"Good talk, good talk!"

When Huang Ke and Dai Li hooked their shoulders and walked out the door affectionately, Huang Ke stopped suddenly and said to Dai Li:

"Brother Yunong, I suddenly came up with a good way to sell green plums and Jiangfeng together, and sell more! When we sell medicine in the future, a bottle of [-] capsules will match Jiangfeng with a bottle of [-] capsules. Greengages for a course of treatment are bundled together and sold, and I have also thought up the advertisement, which is called being prepared.”

"High, high!"

Dai Li slapped his legs and laughed loudly, sighing loudly.

Before breaking up, Huang Ke thought about it, pretending to take out paper from his arms, but in fact he took out an envelope from the cross space.

"Brother Yunong, although you and I have known each other not long ago, we are as close as brothers. You just took office recently, and I happened to have something to do, so I didn't have time to offer you a big gift, so I'll make it up for you here."

Huang Ke held the envelope and smiled at Dai Li: "I went to Japan for a trip three months ago, and I met some friends there, and they gave me some gifts. I took them to no avail, but in the hands of Brother Yunong, there must be something Decay is a magical effect! By the way, if Brother Yu Nong wants more of this thing, just ask, I will definitely have a way to get more in the future."

Dai Li took it with a smile, and watched Huang Ke get into the car to leave. His smile quickly subsided, he tore open the envelope, and after just one glance, his eyes couldn't be separated.

"Huang Jun?"

Huang Jun, nicknamed Qiuyue and nicknamed Zhewei, was born in a scholarly family in Fuzhou. His father, Huang Yanhong, was once a member of the Imperial Academy of the Qing Dynasty.Before Huang Jun was executed, he served as a senior confidential secretary in the Executive Yuan of the Nationalist Government, an important position second only to the Secretary-General. On August 1937, 8, he was sentenced to death for treason and was the first traitor executed during the Anti-Japanese War.

In the history of China's Anti-Japanese War, this is a well-known traitor.His son, Huang Sheng, was the same as him. He also studied in Japan and worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government after returning to China.The father and son bought some frustrated pro-Japanese senior military and political personnel in the General Staff Headquarters, the Navy Department, and the Military and Political Department to form a spy group, which opened the door for the Japanese to steal secrets.

The things they have done include: Jiangyin Fortress leak case, leaking the whereabouts of Chang Kaishen and other important government officials to the Japanese army many times, almost causing Chang Kaishen to be targeted and killed by Japanese planes. In history, Song Meiling was seriously injured by Japanese planes. .

Huang Ke knew for a long time that Dai Li had found out about his mutual interests. Today, Dai Li asked him for "green plums", and even blatantly handed over the confiscated cotton mill machines to Huang Ke to "sell the stolen goods". In fact, he was asking Huang Ke Hints and Overtures: I know what you do!We are all in the same industry, and we stay on the same line when doing things, so we can meet each other in the future.

The original owners of those machines were those unlucky businessmen who were tortured by Kang Ze not long ago.After the ruthless Kang Ze squeezed them dry, he even confiscated all the factory machines.But it is very troublesome to turn these equipment into cash, as Dai Li said: China in this period was heavily dumped by foreign goods, and the profit of opening textile factories was very thin.

Looking at the whole of China, it is naturally the red regime in the northwest that has the ability to easily eat up so many machines.

After accepting the olive branch offered by Dai Li, Huang Ke responded immediately. As a reward, what he gave him was the thing that could best help Dai Li earn face in front of Chang Kaishen—the intelligence information of senior Japanese spies inside the government. .

On the other hand, although Chang Kaishen has "come back", his bad surrounding strategic situation has not changed.As the territory in his hands continued to shrink, the financial problems of Chang Kaishen's regime also worsened at this time.

During this period, Chang Kaishen also tried hard to seek help from his comprador masters, the British and American families.However, during the economic crisis, both the United Kingdom and the United States took care of themselves, and Chang Kaishen has not lived up to expectations recently. The money from the so-called master’s family is not blown by strong winds. you!

At the end of July, Chang Kaishen took a look at the financial income statement for the first half of the year, and his eyes went dark again.

According to a report from the British, the customs revenue of the Nanjing National Government from April to June has dropped significantly again!And this time the reason for the sharp reduction in customs duties, he will soon know!

"smuggling!"

"Smuggling on a large scale!"

"Massive and insane smuggling!"

And the location where the main smuggling took place, in addition to the coast of the Bohai Bay, also in the south!

China's customs has always been controlled by the British.The tariffs received are also in the hands of the British.In history, Chang Kaishen was able to win the Central Plains War because both Britain and the United States handed over the received tariffs to Chang Kaishen's government, so that he could afford to throw silver coins.

In the past six months, Huang Ke joined forces with Kong Song and the Central Command to smuggle crazily, which led to a sharp reduction in customs duties, and the British side actually noticed it.

But as long as the changes in the data don’t go too far, the British won’t be too fussy anyway—it’s like they already knew that the Japanese government is also crazy about official smuggling here in Tianjin Port. But he never protested. Anyway, it was Chang Kaishen's money that was lost, and the British just "escrowed" the money.

However, following the defeat of Chang Kaishen in May, all forces were driven out of North China, Song Zheyuan, the actual controller of Pingjin and the entire Hebei region, was forced to "peace talks" with the Red Army, and the situation changed.

Song Zheyuan's 29th Route Army used to belong to the Nanjing National Government, and the military salary was paid by the Nanjing government.

Now he was forced to jump backwards, and lost this income-of course, the impact was not very great. The local fiscal revenue in Hebei was enough to maintain the Northwest Army's expenditure.

But money is never too much.

Someone gave him an idea at this time.

"The customs tax was collected by the British, and it was all collected by Chang Bald! Wouldn't we build a port and collect it ourselves?"

The person who came up with the idea was, of course, Song Zheyuan's old friend, Huang Yuanxing, a boy of good fortune!

In the past year, Pan Hannian has led Tianma's international trade, and the import business has grown bigger and bigger. The foreigners have met many big customers and opened up many channels.

Who doesn’t love tax evasion and less tax payment!

After more than half a year of practicing smuggling skills, the level of Tianma company is getting higher and higher.They have already owned four medium-sized offshore freighters, and have developed a unique skill in hoisting and transferring goods offshore.

After obtaining Song Zheyuan's permission, he directly bypassed Tianjin Port, imitated the methods of the Japanese, and opened a "private port" near the port.

Large ships coming in from overseas directly transfer their goods to dedicated smuggling ships in the offshore, and then the shallow-draft smuggling ships sail to this "private port" to berth and unload.

The tax to be paid is more than two-thirds less than the customs managed by the British, but it is all handed over to Song Zheyuan!Except for some large-scale goods that are not easy to unload, traditional materials that are easy to carry and lift are now entering Hebei in large quantities through this method, and then flow to all directions.

In exchange, the Soviet Union no longer sends extremely sensitive military supplies to the Red Army through Tianjin.

In early June, Stalin sent over the sixth batch of aid materials, this time a total of 12.7 Mosin Nagant rifles and 37 [-]mm anti-tank guns, plus tens of millions of bullets.In addition, the Soviets also shipped a batch of [-]mm anti-tank guns.

With the increasing expectation of turning losses into profits in China's investment, Stalin also increased his assistance a lot.

All these materials bypassed Tianjin Customs and were sent into Hebei.The person in charge of handing over the goods was none other than General Dong Zhentang's brother Dong Shengtang.Commander of the 29th Brigade of the 38th Division of the 114th Army.Because of Dong Zhentang's relationship, he deliberately behaved more right-leaning politically.

When the Red Army went to Hebei and took Baoding and Shijiazhuang, Song Zheyuan pushed him out at that time to negotiate with the Red Army as his own middleman.

As part of the deal, the 29th Army no longer interfered with the Red Army's weapons aid from the Soviet Union via the Hebei coast.As compensation, Song Zheyuan can get a certain commission and weapon support for each transaction.

Just like this aid, under the instructions of the chairman, Song Zheyuan's Northwest Army received a full hundred anti-tank guns - the latter was also deliberately left by the chairman for the 29th Route Army.After the July 29th Incident, due to the lack of anti-tank weapons, the [-]th Route Army was helpless in the face of Japanese tanks. With this hundred anti-tank guns, the situation will be much easier to deal with.
