Chapter 221 Core Interests

However, life passed quickly. On December 4th, Mr. Qing went to Xi'an in person to supervise the war.

On December 12, the Xi'an Incident occurred.

At that time, most of the Da Chi members advocated the killing of Mr. Qing, but the Soviet Union St. Dalin firmly opposed it and demanded that the people must be released.

Finally, after more than ten days of mediation, Mr. Qing was forced to sign six agreements to accept the proposal of stopping the civil war and jointly resisting Japan. Since then, the second bipartisan cooperation has begun, which is a collaboration between the Chinese nation at the critical moment of life and death.

Afterwards, Mr. Qing began to divide the war zones, dispatch troops and actively prepare for war.

Due to the restrictions of the 1932 Armistice Agreement, the Chinese army could not garrison in the Mocheng City area and surrounding areas. Only two regiments of the police corps and security forces under the command of the Songhu Guard Commander Yang Hu served as garrison, and the troops were weak. However, Japan dispatched heavy troops in Hongkou and Yangpu areas, and set up a special Japanese Marine Corps headquarters in Shanghai. The troops stationed in Shanghai were more than 3,000 Marine Corps, and a large number of Japanese ships patrolled along the Yangtze River and Huangpu River all year round.

So before the war began, the situation was very dangerous!

However, this was the end of 1936, and it was a few months before 813. Therefore, most of the people in the Demon City did not feel the threat of war, running horses and dancing.

Before the War of Resistance Against Japan, the magic city was the largest metropolis in Asia, with an economic scale of four times that of Peking, with a land area of ​​less than one ten thousand in the country, with a population of three million, less than one percent in the country, but GDP accounts for 6.07% of the country, and the per capita GDP is 6.79 times that of the country. This is a vibrant city. If it is lost, it will be an unbearable pain for the government of the Republic of China.

It is precisely because of this reason that Japan occupied the Northeast in 918, and the Qingbai Party thought it was a scabies; Qiqi Lugou Bridge, Japan occupied Peking and Tianjin, although the Qingbai Party members felt distressed, but they did not hurt themselves; when 813, the Japanese occupied the demon city, the Qingbai Party immediately became anxious!

At this time, Japan had not launched an attack on the Demon Capital, but Mr. Qing had decided to focus the war on the Southeast War Zone!

For this reason, he drew a large number of troops to move to the southeast, but because the road was difficult to walk, the army was slow to move and could not be in place for the time being.

Despite this, some work has begun. For example, the Songhu Guard Command has newly built four new telegraph and telephone lines between Beijing and Shanghai, and the Suzhou River Wooden Bridge near the Shanghai-Xiang Hongqiao Airport. It has drawn a detailed location of the Japanese stronghold in the Magic City and a city-wide traffic route map. It has added coastal observation posts in various counties in Pudong, a police corps were added, 29 national defense stronghold fortifications were built, a good plan for blockade of Huangpu River in the South City, and a variety of troops were organized.

On this day, Du Yuesheng came to see Qin Di and said straight to the point: "Mr. Qin, I want to cooperate with the National Army to rent private houses in key points in Zhabei area, and build steel chopsticks and cement bunkers indoors. There is no trace of them usually. When using them, they open the gun to face the enemy, but their financial resources are limited. Please help me."

Qin Di agreed without saying a word: "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

When Du Yuesheng heard this, he was shocked and happy, and admired him so much that he was overwhelmed with admiration!

"Mr. Qin, you are so generous! I am going to wait until the war begins before entering the newspaper to promote your contribution."

Qin Di waved his hand: "Don't do this. I just made some money and couldn't catch up with Mr. Du. You have to gather a large number of people, and there may be a lot of sacrifices."

Du Yuesheng gritted his teeth and said, "Part one is my Qing Gang disciple, part one is a worker from the Demon City, and many people are willing to participate in the war!"

Qin Di said: "If the money is not enough, I can double it and provide pension to the sacrificed righteous men!"

"It's enough for the time being. If it's not enough, I'll ask for it again."

"It's easy to say, just talk if you have something to do."

Qin Di took out 20 million yuan and calculated a cause and effect, because two years ago, he sold the houses north of the Suzhou River, and those houses would be destroyed by war, so the people who bought the houses were in trouble.

Qin Di sold his house and got silver dollars, which caught the appreciation of silver. In less than a year, it turned into US$20 million. At this time, he donated fiat currency and made a profit.

December of each year is the time when Qin Di summons the managers of major companies under his command. Each manager comes to Modu City to report on his job, explaining the company's operating conditions, progress, and difficulties in the past year.

This year seems calm, but the next year is high and rushing, so Qin Di spent more time talking about it and communicated patiently with everyone.

He first summoned Zhang He, general manager of Cathay Pharmaceutical, and asked that all the production lines of penicillin, streptomycin and oleracycin should be moved away before June 1937! Especially the strains that are key protected must not fall into the hands of the Japanese!

Zhang He said: "Our machinery and equipment are relatively simple, and it is easy to relocate factories, but the staff in the factory may not necessarily be willing to leave. Because the Magic City is a top-notch city after all, these people suddenly relocated, not only not only did not get used to the environment in the west, but also faced difficulties in their personal families."

Qin Di said: "Give people who are willing to move west twice as much as possible, and those who are unwilling to leave will automatically leave!"

"That's going to lose a lot of talents!"

"We have a complete set of production technology, and talents are easy to cultivate."

"What if those who have left their jobs take away the relevant technology?"

"The technology for producing antibiotics has been disclosed long ago. The key point is that the strains we have worked hard to cultivate are not afraid of leaking secrets by technicians. Besides, we still have patent protection. Although the patent system does not work during the war, outsiders cannot produce them blatantly."

"Okay, I'll try to arrange it."

Then Qin Di called Zhu Shi and Zhu Huan, the president of Qin's Grain Store, and asked them to transport the grain from the granaries in the eastern region. Except for the Magic City, all cities east of Wuhan, including Hangzhou, Jinling, Zhenjiang, Anqing, Jiujiang, Changsha, Jinan, Kaifeng and other places, were ready to give up at any time and could not leave the grain to the Japanese!

Zhu Shi was Zhu Wan's distant relative and asked, "Master, can the Japanese really fight to Wuhan?"

Qin Di nodded: "Yes, but it takes time. We need to evacuate a little bit and move most of the food away first. I will notify you to evacuate the relevant personnel before the war begins."

"Will our family move with us?"

"I forgot, where is your home?"

“In Hongkou District.”

"That's not possible! All areas north of the Suzhou River will be occupied by the Japanese. As the supervisor of the Qin family grain store, you may be caught by the Japanese and force you to donate grain, otherwise you will kill people. What should you do?"

"Then we must not leave."

"I built a house in Chongqing, you can move in."

"I understand, Master."
