Chapter 44 Chairman Chiang’s Tears

After leaving the island country, Feng Quan returned to Shanghai by boat. With so much money, he planned to give some of it to Chiang Kai-shek. It was difficult to take out the gold, silver, jewelry, jade, etc., and he couldn't explain how to transport them back to China. First, he went to see the small The brother was intoxicated. At this time, he served as the major operations team leader of the Military Command Shanghai Station, and was highly appreciated by Director Dai Li.

Shen Zui was very excited after not seeing his eldest brother Feng Quan for a long time. Without saying a word, he took him in a rickshaw into the concession known as the "Shili Foreign Market" and walked directly into the Shanghai International Hotel, which was known as the highest-end hotel in China at the time. Feng Quan was also This is my first time on such an occasion. From the exterior to the interior design, from the service to the dishes, this hotel adopts the style of the Republic of China. The old-fashioned hand-cranked record player in the hotel is singing "Phoenix Flying" by Zhou Xuan over and over again. Gong Qiuxia's "Rose Blooms Everywhere". Waiters dressed in unique costumes from the Republic of China walked through the hotel, and occasionally special singing girls performed songs and dances. Chinese and foreign celebrities, military, political and business dignitaries held parties in this large hotel that combined Chinese and Western styles. Raise a glass and drink...

The sweet and sour short ribs and the four-season braised braised two cold dishes came out soon. When the Sixi grilled man brought it, it was a little warm. When the grilled man ate it, it felt like sweet dried tofu! The signature braised pork, Zhoushan small yellow croaker braised tofu, Lotus roots, fried shrimps with water chestnuts, eight-treasure duck, steamed buns, shrimps, large black ginseng, and pickled bamboo shoots. I was so intoxicated that I ordered 2 cold, 8 hot and 10 dishes. Listening to old Shanghai songs and tasting various dishes, Feng Quan It is really an indescribable enjoyment.

After finishing the meal, Feng Quan paid the bill resolutely regardless of Shen Zui's repeated obstructions. Haha, this meal probably cost Shen Zui a month's military pay, but to Feng Quan it was only a drop in the bucket. When Feng Quan took out ten large yellow croakers After ordering him to accept it as the eldest brother, Shenzui no longer lost his temper. The eldest brother had so much money that ten large yellow croakers could kill a man or a bird, which was nearly ten thousand dollars.

Returning to the Juntong Shanghai Station again, Feng Quan asked Shen Zui to telegraph Dai Li, asking him to tell Duke Jiang that Feng Quan had urgent military information and reported it himself.

Huangpu Road in the east of Nanjing is a tree-lined area with few pedestrians. Here is Chiang Kai-shek's official residence "Qilu". Chiang Kai-shek, Chairman of the Nanjing National Government, Commander-in-Chief of the National Revolutionary Army and Chairman of the Military Commission, is sitting on the east side of the second floor. Large bedroom for lunch break.

Dai Li hurriedly walked in with a telegram in hand. He was always very careful about his personal appearance and his hair was messed up. Wang Shihe, the head guard, did not dare to neglect and knocked lightly on the bedroom door. Jiang Gong got up quickly when he heard the knock on the door. It was nothing. In emergencies, his subordinates generally dare not disturb him who is strict.

"What's the matter, Yu Nong, do you have anything to report?" Jiang Gong asked softly. Dai Li is the person he trusts most. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Gong is not very strict with his trusted subordinates, even like an elder. .

"Principal, the students don't know this. This is a telegram that Feng Quan asked me to forward to you. The telegram says that he will report to you personally. The students don't dare to neglect it. They will come and give it to the principal as soon as they receive it." After saluting, Dai Li respectfully handed the telegram to Jiang Gong.

"Well, that's right. Last time Feng Quan sent a treasure map to Huzhou. Tell me, what will he bring this time? The Tokyo fire, the robbery of the Bank of Japan, don't tell me that you, the military commander, don't know about it!" Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the Kuomintang, was certainly not an incompetent person.

"What? What did the principal mean to say that... Feng Quan did this?" Dai Li was shocked. In fact, Dai Li, who was keen on the Dalian Zhengjin Bank robbery last time, also suspected that Feng Quan did it. It was just a guess and he did not report it to Jiang Gong.

"Well, I guess it should be him. Wait, when will he come over? Niang Xipi! Why doesn't the party-state have such a capable person?"

"The message Feng Quan sent at noon is expected to arrive at 3 o'clock in the afternoon." Dai Li estimated the distance from Shanghai to Nanjing and said cautiously.

At this time, Feng Quan was sitting in the bumpy car, sleeping soundly. He was too tired these past few days and had no time to rest. As soon as his tense nerves relaxed, he could no longer resist sleepiness. Although Shen Zui didn't know what happened, he As soon as I heard that I was going to meet Mr. Jiang, I naturally hurried on my way.

...

After receiving the bearer cash check worth 80 million U.S. dollars from Feng Quan, Mr. Jiang first trembled with his hands and lips, and then burst into tears. 80 million U.S. dollars, how many German mechanics are needed to equip it? One One million teachers is enough. China is suffering from internal and external troubles now. Now that we have money, we will no longer be afraid of major famines. So many people have starved to death due to famines. There is nothing I can do, so I try to save them. But the central government is just a formality. The Central Government unified China, and warlords from all over the country did not pay taxes to the central government... Now that I have so much money, who do I have to fear?

After a long pause, Jiang Gong stopped his tears and excitedly took over "Fishing Alone on the Cold River" by Ma Yuan, a famous painter of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Xizhi's "Meetings from Sisters", "Preface to Dingwu Lanting" and "Seventeen Posts". , "Preface to the Holy Religion of the King", "Sangluan Tie", and "Li Baizhi Manuscript" from the Liang Dynasty. Faced with these rare cultural relics and treasures, Jiang Gong was once again sighing.

"Zi Gong has made new contributions to the party and the country. I would like to thank you on behalf of the party and the country. What do you want from the party and the country?" Jiang Gong guessed Feng Quan's intention, thinking that he no longer wanted to be a temporary worker and wanted to be an official.

"It's up to you to choose the position of the party-state. I will not refuse you." Jiang Gong's tone was very sure.

"Principal, I am doing this entirely for the sake of the country. I am not coveting glory or wealth. The students do not want any official positions. They only want to fight the Japanese." Feng Quan was very worried about being retained by Jiang Gong. If the amount was not too large, he would never send it in person. Come, the two wives are missing him.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! It would be great if everyone in the party and state were like your son-in-law and devoted themselves to the country. Niang Xipi! Some people just think about getting promoted and getting rich every day. Compared with you, there is a huge difference." Jiang Gong was very moved. He knew the virtues of his subordinates very well.

"Master, isn't he married yet? How about I introduce some to you, and you can choose, and the principal and I can help you with your advice?" Mrs. Jiang heard the cry of Mr. Jiang and ran over. After learning the whole story, , very concerned about this young man who doesn't think about himself.

"Madam, I...I got married in the Northeast, and I also married two wives. One of them is Lin Chiling, the secretary introduced by Chief Dai. The student is alone and has not been able to get back the gold, silver and jewelry. I feel deeply ashamed. Regarding the party and the country, I ask the principal and his wife for their understanding."

Although Mr. Jiang and his wife were very averse to three wives and four concubines and vigorously promoted monogamy, China's long-standing tradition cannot be easily changed.

"You have made such a great contribution to the party and the country this time. It is right. I will not pursue it anymore. Talents are easy to get but hard to find. If I had a daughter, I would let her marry you.

." Mr. Jiang, who had always spoken very cautiously, said something he shouldn't have said in his excitement.

She has been married to Soong Ching Ling for several years, but she has never had children, only two sons from her ex-wife.

"Darling, what are you talking about?" the lady said angrily.

"What's going on in Japan now?"
