"Remember, these are weapons, ammunition and medical supplies for four reinforced platoons." Liu Xia said as she walked.
"I know." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
The 60,000 silver dollars directly intercepted by Chen Chunpu and Mrs. Wang were real money. It cannot be said that the money was just passed through the accounts and treated as non-existent.
"I'll go in and see if the secretary-general is free," Liu Xia said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded. He naturally knew that this was Liu Xia who went first to vent his anger to Chu Mingyu, at least to reassure the secretary-general and know how much fat he had in his mouth.
A moment.
Liu Xia came out with a smile like a flower, "Secretary-General, please ask Mr. Xiao Cheng to come in."
"Naughty." Cheng Qianfan subconsciously wanted to touch Liu Xia's head, but Liu Xia glared at her and had to take it back.
Liu Xia chuckled, glanced at Cheng Qianfan charmingly, twisted her waist and walked in front.
"Secretary-General." Liu Xia handed the list to Chu Mingyu, "Qianfan has already negotiated the weapons, ammunition and medical supplies for the four reinforced platoons."
Chu Mingyu glanced at the list:
The total cost of weapons, ammunition, and material procurement was 150,000 silver dollars.
"A gap of ten thousand dollars?" he asked.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "The Japanese seem to be planning a sweep of the countryside, and their inventory of weapons and ammunition is also in short supply."
He explained, "Because of this, prices follow the market, so it's a little over budget."
"Well done." Chu Mingyu nodded slightly, "Qianfan, you worked hard this time."
"Uncle Chu gave his nephew a chance to contribute his modest contribution to the great cause of peaceful nation-building." Cheng Qianfan said humbly.
Chu Mingyu said sternly, "For the great cause of peaceful nation-building, these expenditures come from the people's fat and oil, and every penny and every penny must be used wisely."
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "Qianfan will definitely remember the Secretary-General's teachings."
"I heard from Liu Xia that the difference of 10,000 is actually very tight." Chu Mingyu said with a smile, "The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. Although I don't allow you to do anything, you still have to pay for the errands."
.”
He handed the list back to Liu Xia, "I met Director Chen and asked him to add five thousand silver dollars."
"yes."
"Thank you, Uncle Chu." Cheng Qianfan did not refuse and said with a smile, "I have long thought that Uncle Chu would not let my nephew's work go in vain."
"You're a bastard." Chu Mingyu laughed loudly, "Did you just say that the Japanese wanted to clear out the countryside?"
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan said, "That's why the price is high."
"Hmm." Chu Mingyu nodded, "We can still get weapons in this situation. That Japanese friend of yours is pretty good."
He said to Cheng Qianfan, "This kind of relationship should be maintained carefully."
"Nephew, don't worry."
Chu Mingyu looked at Cheng Qianfan and suddenly asked, "Are you busy with the patrol room?"
"If I'm not busy, there will always be official duties. If I'm busy, my nephew is running the police station very well, and his subordinates are doing their best." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "I do have some free time."
"I remember you went to a military academy?" Chu Mingyu asked.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "My nephew was in the infantry section of the 10th phase of the Central Army Military Academy. However, because of his grandfather's poor health, he was exempted from school and returned home."
"Well." Chu Mingyu nodded, "Although Chang Kaishen has made a mess of the country, he still takes good care of the locals."
"My nephew still remembers the elegiac couplet sent by Mr. Wang when his grandfather was buried." Cheng Qianfan's eyes showed emotion, "'Serving the country and the people, caring for the public through the ages.'"
His eyes were a little red and moist, "My grandfather once said that Mr. Wang is a handsome gentleman, committed to revolution, and most like Mr. Sun's character. With Mr. Wang's conclusion, my grandfather must be happy."
"I remember, I remember this." Chu Mingyu also nodded with emotion, "You are also very good. You firmly chose to follow Mr. Wang. I think Gu Gong will rest in peace when he finds out."
Cheng Qianfan bit his lip, eyes
.
His eyes turned red and he nodded.
…
"How were your classes when you were in the military academy?" Chu Mingyu asked.
"Excellent assessment." Cheng Qianfan straightened his back and looked at Shenfei as he said.
Chu Mingyu couldn't help but nodded secretly when he saw the look on his brows.
"Very good." Chu Mingyu said, then he yawned and waved his hands, "Go, you go see Director Chen and report the situation to him."
"Yes!" Cheng Qianfan was curious. He didn't understand why Chu Mingyu suddenly asked those questions. However, since Chu Mingyu stopped talking about it, he had to press the matter in his mind first.
…
"Haozi, choose the right road and don't be in a hurry." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Liu Xia, who had closed her eyes and rested, with a tired look on her delicate and charming face.
"yes."
After driving for about three minutes, Liu Xia covered her mouth with her small hands and yawned lightly.
"Sister Xia needs to take good care of herself." Cheng Qianfan said, "I have American ginseng. I will bring it to Sister Xia next time to replenish her health."
"It's just a lack of sleep." Liu Xia yawned again and said.
"Have you been very busy lately?" Cheng Qianfan asked with concern as his heart moved.
"It's just around the corner, everything is crowded together." Liu Xia said, "Not to mention other things, there are so many units, just arranging office space for them is already overwhelming."
She was talking about the various departments of the new regime currently crowded in Shanghai.
Although there is still some time left in Nanjing, the framework of various departments of the new regime has already been established, and all parties are frantically placing personnel in various departments.
These departments, units, and personnel are numerous, the tasks are complex, and they require a lot of office space.
The rent in Shanghai is very expensive.
Just setting up office space for these units has already made Chu Mingyu, the future vice-president of the Executive Yuan, very anxious.
As Chu Mingyu's trusted assistant, Liu Xia was even more busy.
"The hard days will soon be over, and Nanjing will have complete supporting residences." Cheng Qianfan said with relief, "The capital will be returned to Nanjing by then, and all ministries, commissions, and units will be restored to their respective places."
"I hope so." Liu Xia sighed.
She doesn't feel optimistic about this either.
After the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, they quickly took over the government agencies.
Nowadays, the original locations of various government agencies are basically occupied by the Japanese.
When the new regime returns to Nanjing, it will inevitably need to let the Japanese vacate their houses.
However, just because she thought of this, Liu Xia felt very dizzy.
Just thinking about asking the Japanese to make room for them is not worth looking forward to.
…
"In the morning, the Secretary-General just accompanied Mr. Wang to Jiangwan for inspection." Liu Xia suddenly said.
"Jiangwan?" Cheng Qianfan was stunned. He looked at Liu Xia, wondering why Liu Xia suddenly took the initiative to reveal Wang Chuhai's whereabouts to him.
"After the victory of the Sixth National Congress of the Party, Mr. Wang once delivered an important speech at the party's central committee meeting." Liu Xia said, "Mr. Wang put forward important instructions to form an army that is loyal to the party and the country and to the chairman. .”
Hearing Liu Xia mention "Mr. Wang", Cheng Qianfan's expression was respectful and serious.
"(Last year) in September, according to Mr. Wang's personal instructions, the Central Army Officer Training Corps was established in Jiangwan." Liu Xia said.
Cheng Qianfan was a little surprised at first, and then his expression became more serious, with a hint of questioning in his seriousness.
"Mr. Wang personally serves as the head of the Central Army Officer Training Corps, General Ye Huangpi serves as the director of education, General Guo Qiling serves as the director of the education department, and Mr. Huang Riqi serves as the director of the general affairs department." Liu Xia said.
"General Wu Shuqing is the director of the general office, General Zhang Yan is the captain, and General Liu Jiju is the deputy director of education."
Every time she said a name, if she noticed that Cheng Qianfan didn't seem to know much about the person, she would stop and talk about it.
Cheng Qianfan's eyes showed gratitude
.
, he knew that Sister Xia was giving him instructions.
At this moment, his heart was full of contempt.
The people Liu Xia mentioned were all veterans with military backgrounds, and most of them had very high qualifications.
For example, Liu Jiuju, who serves as the deputy director of education, was born in Beiyang. In his early years, he served in the 8th Mixed Brigade and the 14th Division of the Beiyang Army. In the 24th year of the Republic of China, he joined the Second Army of the National Army and served as the regimental commander. .
After that, he was promoted to general due to his meritorious service in pursuing and interdicting the Red Armed Forces on the Long March. After the outbreak of the Second Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Liu Jiju led his troops to participate in the war in Shanghai. After the fall of Shanghai, he is said to have gone to Hong Kong Island.
Cheng Qianfan did not expect that this Beiyang veteran would secretly sneak back to Shanghai and join Wang Kehai.
Not only Liu Jiju, most of the people Liu Xia mentioned who served in Wang Chuhai's Central Army Officer Training Corps were from Beiyang or senior generals from Baoding Army Officer School.
These people have long been eliminated by history, without soldiers and power, but now they have climbed onto the high branches of Wang Reclamation, transformed and once again appeared on the stage.
Cheng Qianfan 'digested' the big names Liu Xia talked about. He looked thoughtful, and suddenly his expression moved slightly, "Sister Xia, the Secretary-General just suddenly asked me about my military academy resume. This is..."
"Mr. Wang inspected the Officer Training Corps and was quite satisfied with the performance and spirit of the trainees," Liu Xia said.
Cheng Qianfan stared at Liu Xia, as if to confirm whether Liu Xia's "quite satisfactory" statement was the truth or a joke.
"I'm really satisfied, don't think too much." Liu Xia rolled her eyes at Cheng Qianfan.
The trainees of the first phase of the Army Officer Training Corps were mostly "local soldiers" recruited by General Liu Jiju to Peiping to join the regiment and train them as students of the student team. In addition, a group of educated young people with middle school level were recruited into the regiment to form the student team. student.
Mr. Wang is very satisfied with the performance of the Officer Training Corps, especially the student team trainees who are educated young people with middle school level and are trained in the regiment. Their mental outlook and various quality performances make Mr. Wang's eyes shine.
"Mr. Wang encouraged the trainees and students, hoping that everyone would sincerely believe in the Three Ming Principles, follow the path of peaceful nation-building, and shoulder the important task of defending the country and the people and safeguarding the fruits of victory in the future," Liu Xia said.
After saying that, Liu Xia looked at Cheng Qianfan, half-smiling.
Cheng Qianfan understood, but he couldn't believe his understanding and guessed, "Sister Xia, Uncle Chu is not asking me to join this officer training corps, right?"
As he said that, he shook his head and said, "Sister Xia, in front of you, let me tell you the truth, I don't want to lead troops to fight."
…
Hearing what Cheng Qianfan said, Liu Xia was not surprised at all.
"Mr. Xiao Cheng" is also a well-known figure in Shanghai, especially in the French Concession. He is close to the Japanese, and has the secretary-general to take care of him. He has great power, has beautiful cars and beautiful women as his companions, and is doing a lot of business. You have to fly and make a lot of money.
How could "Mr. Xiao Cheng", who is used to enjoying things, let go of his comfortable life and go to the military camp to stir up trouble?
"I'm not asking you to actually lead the troops." Liu Xia said. Seeing Cheng Qianfan's suspicious look, Liu Xia was also amused. She chuckled and lightly hit Cheng Qianfan with her small fist, "If you don't want to How can the secretary-general force you to lead troops to fight?"
"That's true." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Uncle Chu treats me like his own son."
"What the Secretary-General means is that Mr. Wang attaches great importance to the officer training corps." Liu Xia said, "In the future, most of the officers of the new regime, and even future generals, will come from this training corps."
She looked at Cheng Qianfan, "Jiangwan Army Officer Training Corps is to Mr. Wang what Huangpu is to Chang Kaishen."
"Brother Fan, do you understand this metaphor?" Liu Xia said.
"I'm not stupid, so I understand." Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that I really don't want to lead troops to fight."
His eyes were clear and sincere, "Sister Xia, neither the Chongqing army nor the Red Party's New Fourth Army are easy to deal with... Guns on the battlefield are not picky."
.
Cheng Qianfan said seriously, "I'm still young and don't want to take risks."
"You heartless brother." Liu Xia glared at Cheng Qianfan, "You can't listen to what I have to say!"
She snorted coldly, "Can Sister Xia still hurt you?"
"I guess Sister Xia is not willing to let me take risks." Cheng Qianfan nodded solemnly, but received a look from Liu Xia.
"The Secretary-General is not familiar with military affairs, and he has no close confidants in the military." Liu Xia said. Seeing that Cheng Qianfan was hesitant to speak, she stretched out her finger and tapped Cheng Qianfan and said, "Don't worry, the Secretary-General is also I never thought of letting you lead troops in war."
"You are the only one who knows the military around the secretary-general, and he is not willing to let you go to the battlefield." Liu Xia said.
Cheng Qianfan heard this, thought about it, and then nodded.
What Liu Xia said seems to be contradictory.
As one of the few confidants of Chu Mingyu who is "knowing soldiers", according to common sense, he should be placed in the army. It is best to directly control a certain amount of military power, so as to help Chu Mingyu consolidate his power.
However, this kind of plan is not suitable for Chu Mingyu.
"The Secretary-General will not seize military power, and he is not even willing to touch military power." Liu Xia said, lowering her voice. "Even if Mrs. Wang supports the Secretary-General, she will not agree to the Secretary-General touching military power."
Liu Xia did not say what Mr. Wang's opinion was. Mrs. Wang's opinion was Mr. Wang's opinion.
Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly. He had to admire that Chu Mingyu was indeed a very sober person who knew what to touch and what not to touch.
If the Vice President of the Executive Yuan still thinks about touching military power, this is a recipe for death.
"So, what does Uncle Chu mean?" Cheng Qianfan asked thoughtfully.
"Facade." Liu Xiayan said concisely and concisely, "The secretary-general needs a facade, a facade that shows his true feelings."
