Chapter 284 Solving problems is never a skill
Chen Yang slowly placed the telegram on the table, stared at Zhong Xigong and said, "Mr. Zhong Xi, I don't understand what you mean by showing me such a telegram?"
"Director Chen is so smart, you might as well make a guess." Zhong Xigong smiled faintly.
Chen Yang folded his hands, held his chin and said, "If you want me to help transport the munitions, all you need is a phone call. The Material Transportation Center will coordinate the train to meet the requirements of the dispatched army. You don't need to make this trip in person."
"If it's something else, Lord Nakanishi, you wouldn't want me to help you gather all these arms, would you?"
"Director Chen is indeed very smart," Zhong Xigong said with a smile, "You are the economic advisor of the new government's Finance Department. Of course, you should be the one to solve these material problems."
"According to the information obtained by the Secret Service, the army that has defected to Nanjing currently has twelve divisions, with a registered number of about 150,000. Add to that the two security regiments under Mr. Liang, three divisions of troops, and some stragglers recruited from various places, and the number of troops in Nanjing has approached 200,000."
"There are too many people. The Chinese expeditionary force can only provide a portion of the weapons. The rest needs to be raised by your Finance Department."
Chen Yang stared at Zhong Xigong and said, "You can directly reply to Minister Liao of the new government about this matter. Why do you still need me to raise supplies?"
Zhong Xigong was silent for a while and then said, "Mr. Xiwei has his concerns, and we believe that you are indeed capable of helping us solve the problem."
"Ability, haha." Chen Yang laughed dryly and said, "Mr. Zhongxi, I have always believed that solving problems is never about ability, but about money."
"As long as you have money, you can certainly buy enough supplies."
Zhong Xigong frowned slightly and said, "Director Chen's idea of solving the problem is really clear."
"This is a warrant personally issued by Lord Nishio. You can ask the Military Police Headquarters for help in raising supplies. Of course, we cannot guarantee whether they are willing to help us."
"I hope you can resolve this matter as soon as possible."
"Goodbye, Director Chen,"
Zhong Xigong slammed the order on the table and left the office without looking back.
Obviously, he did not agree with Chen Yang's philosophy and style of doing things.
This is not surprising. They are members of the great Red Party, and their philosophy is to burn themselves and illuminate others.
People like Chen Yang who are selfish and only care about money will naturally not become their comrades.
Chen Yang smiled and didn't think about exposing Zhong Xigong's identity. Suddenly, he remembered the news that some time ago, the National Government Air Force suddenly became powerful, raided Hankou Airport and won a great victory.
When this news came out, its power was no less than that of the National Army's victory at Wanjialing again.
In fact, this raid only resulted in more than 100 aircraft being destroyed, more than 60 aircraft being damaged to varying degrees, and the number of casualties including pilots of the Land Direct Aviation Squadron, ground crew, cooks and even the Shiba Inus guarding the door, all added up to less than 300 people.
Even so, the Nationalist government was still boasting that the Air Force had achieved unprecedented results and had regained air supremacy.
Although Chen Yang also believes that the Chinese Air Force is indeed excellent and brave enough to fight, it is a bit too much to write like this.
The entire air force brigade now has only a few dozen planes left. If the Soviet Union had not supported two air force brigades with 200 planes, what would you have used to fight them?
It would be possible if the deputy commander of the Air Force was willing to get the $13 million plane back.
The Japanese army has always suspected that this raid was possible because someone leaked the bombers' take-off and landing times and flight routes.
The Special High Technology Department also conducted a high-profile internal investigation, but ultimately found nothing.
Now Chen Yang is 80% sure that the incident must have been done by this Bai Ge.
Chen Yang looked at his hands on the table and a smile appeared on his face.
He may not be able to produce enough weapons for 100,000 people all at once, but he should have no problem producing enough weapons for 50,000 or 60,000 people.
Last November, Toshio Komuro did a business deal with him for 1.72 million.
Among them, a large part was weapons supplies sent from the mainland to the 4th Division.
Plus the various firearms trophies they collected from the battlefield.
It is still possible to equip a few divisions.
The key point is how much money he can make. He is not a dispatched army. What is he thinking if he wants to give weapons to others for free?
This isn't my army.
I don't care if he has a spear, a broadsword or a Type 38...
"Secretary He, come in." Chen Yang quickly wrote a telegram on a piece of paper and called He Yuehua in. He said, "Secretary He, take this telegram and go upstairs to find Mr. Qingqi."
"Ask Qingqi-kun to help send it to the radio station of the new government in Jinling."
"Sir, the radio station of Mei Agency cannot be used for personal purposes." He Yuehua said hesitantly.
"Take this with you. If anyone talks nonsense, show him the warrant." Chen Yang handed him the warrant signed by Lord Nishio.
He Yuehua took the warrant with both hands and hurried upstairs.
Shanghai, Agent No. 76 Headquarters.
Li Qun was quietly reviewing documents in the office.
The failure of the last plan to close the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway made him much more obedient. He no longer went to Meihua Tower every few days to show off his presence in front of Chen Yang.
Fortunately, Wu Sibao was reliable and killed the fake agent, and the matter was eventually left unresolved.
If that agent really talked nonsense in the conference room, he would really lose face.
"Knock, knock, knock," there was a rapid knock on the door, "Director Li, Director Li."
"Oh no, something big has happened." Wu Sibao's anxious voice came from the door.
Li Qun put down the pen in his hand unhappily and said, "Come in."
Wu Sibao rushed into the office and said breathlessly: "Director Li, Boss Ji, Boss Ji was assassinated by the Military Control Commission."
"What?" Li Qun was startled and stood up and asked, "What happened? Do you know who did it?"
"That man acted very quickly, and only fired one shot," Wu Sibao said with some fear, "Boss Ji had more than a dozen bodyguards around him. Even with so many people, he couldn't keep an eye on him."
"They are taking revenge," Li Qun said through gritted teeth.
Wu Sibao was a little confused, but Li Qun naturally knew that Boss Dai killed Ji Yunqing to show him a warning.
Boss Dai's share of the $5 million deposit was not much, but it was still $600,000.
The money was obtained using the account password provided by Li Qun, and Ji Yunqing used his connections in the French Concession to ask the French to help him.
After the money left the bank, it was transferred to Ye Zhengxian's Zhejiang Commercial Bank. After more than a week, the money was transferred to Citibank's fund account in the name of overseas assets and entrusted investment.
