After many twists and turns, Chang Kaishen did not buy the same authorized product from the Italians until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

Part of the $2000 million "loan" was for the purchase of American goods, but the other part was the "free funds" that Huang Ke won for Chang Kaishen.Chang Kaishen also knew the virtues of the people under his command, none of them were reliable.When Huang Ke brought people to Europe this time, he had confessed to Huang Ke privately that when he saw something of high quality and low price, he would directly return it to him.Of course, Chang Kaishen had to pay more for such a classic cannon. When he bought it, the Red Army bought it, so he only bought ten guns.

Afterwards, Huang Ke sighed to Elena:

"There are so many calculations to buy a small cannon. The war in our world is actually a war of national power and resources. Human life is also a resource. If you want to reduce deaths, you must burn more money. If you don't want to burn more money, you must Fill it with human life! What's going on with the war in your world?"

"It's the same! Believers who contribute the power of faith are resources, consumables..."

In fact, after Huang Ke came to Europe, now he keeps repeating in his mind, it's all: buy for zero yuan, buy for zero yuan!These three words.

This chapter is a little watery, and it can be regarded as a cutscene plot. The real climax will come in the next chapter of the German plot.

-------------------- Chapter 165 The Two Most Damn Men in the 20th Century------------------- -

A passenger ship from Russia is docking at Tianjin Port.

When clearing the customs, the port personnel discovered to their dismay that the number of "Soviet tourists" disembarking from the ship had increased by more than 20 people compared to last week, a total of 200 people.

Ten American-made Dodge trucks were waiting outside the ship's dock.As soon as these Russian tourists stepped out of the pier, they were immediately loaded onto a truck with their luggage and taken away.In order to ensure safety, the convoy was guarded by a truck full of armed guards.

Such scenes have frequently appeared in Pingjin City since the end of August.Everyone in Pingjin knew that they were "technical experts" from Russia.

Some are agricultural experts, some are industrial experts, and more are military instructors.As soon as I got out of the port, I went straight to the local railway station, and then I was driven to Taiyuan by a special armed train.

For this scene, Song Zheyuan, the top military officer in the Pingjin area, has long been familiar with it, and has even become numb.

Ever since Chang Kaishen was defeated in May, and after the Red Army stretched out its hand to Zhangjiakou in June, and "forced" the 29th Army and the New Jin Dynasty to sign the alliance under the city with irresistible "forced" means, Song Zheyuan felt that Hebei This piece of land is increasingly not his own.

In August, the Song faction, the New Jin faction, the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army plus Han Fuqu and the Red Army signed an agreement to establish a common coalition government in the north.

The content of the agreement is very simple, with a total of ten articles.As far as the content is concerned, there must be no hostile behavior between each other, and when foreign enemies invade, they must bear the responsibility of joint defense (in fact, it is anti-Japanese), in addition to setting up agencies for each other, etc.

However, Song Zheyuan and the Red Army had the most separate agreements.Including allowing the Red Army to set up agency offices in Pingjin, allowing the Red Army to recruit people in various universities, and opening special trains directly under the Red Army, etc.

Regarding these terms, Song Zheyuan didn't want to agree to them at first, and the two sides couldn't reach an agreement for three days.

Then, the mysterious "Huang Yuanxing" appeared, but at this time he stood openly in front of Song Zheyuan as a lobbyist, and asked him with a smile: "Old Song, do you think that the Red Army is reasonable and can be deceived by gentlemen?" Fang, so you are just dawdling here to delay time, but you forgot one thing, whether it is the Red Army or me, what we need most now is time."

Before the Battle of Shanxi, Song Zheyuan and Huang Ke cooperated very well. He and his cousin "Lin Changhe" engaged in smuggling, imported various contraband to the Soviet area by railway, and took a profit from it, and they were very happy.

But after the Battle of Shanxi, Chang Kaishen collapsed in the first battle and was expelled from North China. Then, a huge red beast ten times more terrifying than Chang Kaishen's central army lay on the edge of Shanxi.

From that day on, Song Zheyuan had a feeling of "I was cheated", and now the person who cheated him actually brought his foreign lover and sat in front of him with a smile.

"you......"

When facing him, Song Zheyuan had an unknown fire welling up from the bottom of his heart, and was quickly suppressed. He said bitterly: "Resist Japan, resist Japan, who doesn't want to resist Japan? But you know, the Japanese are always looking for excuses... ..."

"Old Song, you always love to lie to yourself so much!"

Huang Ke smiled, and he didn't know when there was an extra gold bar in his hand, and he kept spinning it in his hand.

"The Wicker Lake railway was blown up. In the future, the railway from Pingjin to Northeast will be blown up again... Even in the fields of Pingjin, it is difficult to lose a Japanese soldier and kill a Japanese ronin? Japan Is there no reason for people to go to war against Pingjin?"

Song Zheyuan frowned, stared at Huang Ke's face, and said bitterly: "Are you the Communist Party?"

"I have money first!"

Huang Ke said.

As he spoke, he kept taking out gold bars from his pocket, one, two, three... many bars, stacked ten layers high on the table in front of Song Zheyuan like building blocks.

Song Zheyuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the gold bars on the table. Of course he knew that the young man in front of him was not simple. He dared to bring his "lover" to his headquarters at such a sensitive time. He was indeed confident.

"Old Song, do you want me to talk to you like the Communist Party, or do you want me to talk to you like Chang Kaishen?"

"What do you mean?"

"Speaking to you in the tone of the Communist Party, what I want to say is to talk to you about the righteousness of the nation, and to put resistance against Japan first, and then talk to you. Japan's full-scale war of aggression against China is imminent. Don't deceive yourself and others that you shrink your head. You can get through it by playing Ninja with your defense! Comrade Wu Hao, who communicated with you yesterday, has already said everything about the recruitment and mobilization information in Japan in the past six months, do you need me to repeat it again?"

As Huang Ke said, he grabbed the gold bars on the table and threw one out towards the office window.

After a few seconds, he threw out another one, and when he was about to throw the third one, Song Zheyuan finally couldn't help it and grabbed his hand.

He said to Huang Ke, "Don't go around in circles!"

When he said this, it was obvious that there was a regiment of guards outside him, but Song Zheyuan's voice suddenly trembled.

"This is how I speak to you with Chang Kaishen's tone."

Huang Ke grabbed the gold bar with his other hand, and threw it out again along the window.

From the downstairs outside the window, there was a commotion. It was the guards of the 29th Route Army below. They saw gold bars being thrown out of the upstairs, and there was a commotion.After a few seconds, the sound of intense running approached, and then the door was knocked open, and a group of guards appeared at the door.

"commander!"

Then, what they saw was that Huang Ke held the fifth gold bar in his left hand, and threw it at Song Zheyuan's guards without looking at it.

Huang Ke turned his face away, smiled and said:

"It's okay, Li, I'm playing a game of throwing gold with your Commander Song. Those gold bars are all wine money for the brothers below!"

Song Zheyuan shouted: "Get out! Don't come in without my order."

"Yes!"

The door was closed, and the room returned to silence.

Huang Ke then said: "In the words of the Communist Party, an inch of time is an inch of gold. Japan's full-scale war of aggression against China has entered the countdown. Every day is extremely precious. Now the entire Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia, An area controlled by the Red Army is undergoing general mobilization according to the standard of total war!"

As Huang Ke said, he grabbed the remaining gold bars on the table, waved his hand, and threw them out of the window.

"Old Song, do you know that every day of delay, we lose far more than the ten gold bars I threw away?"

Downstairs outside the window, there was another slight commotion. Song Zheyuan could almost imagine that his guard must be so excited that he was going crazy when he saw the windfall.

He weakly defended himself: "Maybe, maybe we will keep the same, and the Japanese will..."

"Do you really want me to talk to you like Chang Kaishen?"

Huang Ke's voice suddenly darkened. Song Zheyuan instinctively pressed his hand on the pistol at his waist, but the other party didn't move. At this moment, there was another gold bar in his hand.

"Lao Song, I'm rich! I only spent less than 900 million US dollars to help the Red Army buy Taiyuan and Linfen from Yan Laoxi's men, as well as Yan Laoxi's life!"

Huang Ke slowly placed the gold bar in front of the nervous Song Zheyuan.

"Old Song, do the math, how much more will I need to spend to buy the entire Hebei 29th Army?"

Song Zheyuan shook his body, bowed his head and remained silent.

As Huang Ke said, he stood up from his seat, and left together arm in arm with Elena.

"An inch of time is an inch of gold. For China, every day is precious. Yan Laoxi, waste China's time..."

Then, Huang Ke and Elena left.

That night, Song Zheyuan found that his guard group was very happy...

The next day, Wu Hao came to negotiate, and Song Zheyuan signed the contract "very readily" without hesitation.

Afterwards, Wu Hao heard the wind and criticized Huang Ke: "It's wrong for you to do this."

"I know I'm wrong, but we're running out of time and every day is precious now."

Without saying a word, Huang Ke immediately started a self-criticism in front of Wu Hao, very sincerely.

However, both Wu Hao and Elena knew that he didn't think he was wrong at all.

Turning around, Huang Ke said to Elena:

"We don't have time to waste. Eleven gold bars, compared with the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the major general and lieutenant general, the money transaction is the lowest-cost transaction! And in the future after liberation, we will use the method of eliminating counter-revolutionaries to transfer these When the warlord speculators are all killed, there will be no psychological burden, because I will tell them that I have paid in advance!"

Elena said: "Why did you tell me this, you can continue to pretend."

"Because I love you, I don't want to lie to you."

Huang Ke said sincerely.

"Are you learning from Stalin? No, you are not only learning from Stalin, you are also learning from Wu Hao!"

But Eileen also saw through him.

Huang Ke admitted: "If we want to complete the unfinished journey of the chairman, it is far from enough to rely on ideals and morality alone. We need light, but also darkness, divinity, and magic! Idealists need If you want to realize your ideal, you need to be more realistic than a realist! More..."

At that moment, Elena found that the little Huang Ke who was becoming more and more mature suddenly became a little strange.

The innocence and naughtiness in him are becoming less and less...

Afterwards, Elena told the chairman about it.

The chairman was also silent for a long time. He suddenly picked up the brush and wrote two sentences on the paper.

"If the sky is loving, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is vicissitudes."

Then he asked Elena to hand over the copybook to Huang Ke.

According to the request of the Red Army, Song Zhe deported almost all the Kuomintang branches in Hebei.As for the secret service agencies of the Central Command and the Military Command, they only took off their badges, but all the personnel stayed quietly.

The reason was that Huang Ke's cousin Lin Changhe dissuaded him.

"Old Song, just put on a show for Chang Kaishen. That's one of us!"

As soon as he said this, Song Zheyuan lost the last bit of courage to make troubles, and at this moment he started to sympathize with Chang Kaishen instead.

"The central government and the military are all our own people" and so on. In fact, Pan Hannian is bragging. At most, he is just two speculators from the secret service agency who are stepping on two boats and leaving a way for himself-the spies are not stupid. Well, Chang Kaishen now looks like a bear being beaten into a dog. Few are really willing to serve the party-state.

The only difference is that the underground parties like Pan Hannian are still doing things for the party and the nation-state, while those two gangs of spies are only doing things for themselves.But this action of his made Song Zheyuan lie down completely, and he didn't want to have any delusional thoughts anymore.

Chang Kaishen once instructed these spies to make some big news in Pingjin, such as blowing up the CCP's agency in Pingjin.

The spies reported to Pan Hannian, and Pan Hannian blew it up for them.Then several "cadres stationed in Beijing" with pseudonyms "sacrificed" so heroically.

The spies completed their tasks and received awards. Pan Hannian was praised for defending the party organization.But at this time, Song Zheyuan learned that Huang Ke, who had left, went to Nanjing and was reused by Chang Kaishen. Now, as the head of the Nanjing Nationalist Government's military purchase group, he was going to Europe to buy planes, and he was willing to buy planes for Chang Kai as soon as he made a move. Applied for a donation of 100 million US dollars for the purchase fee...

Song Zheyuan, who knew too much of the truth, was even more "honest" in fright this time.

During this period of time, rumors abounded in the Pingjin area. The rumors were that the Japanese would invade China in an all-round way and attack Pingjin in the next three months.

The biggest incident was that Fan Xudong, a celebrity from Pingjin, took the lead in relocating his factories in Tianjin to Baoji.Under his leadership, two other local capitalists also began to relocate their factories, and their destinations were all Baoji.

Then, when the universities in Peking and Tianjin started in September, some teachers and students did not come to class, but directly transferred to Xi'an, and began to relocate.

The relocation of the factory and the relocation of the school immediately made the panic in the entire Pingjin area even more serious.As for the bases of the Northeast Army in Baoding and Shijiazhuang, which are adjacent to Pingjin, the Northeast Army is also conscription and training aggressively at this time, and building fortifications in advance...
