After evacuating all the Japanese prisoners of war and completing the interrogation of Kitano Takatsu, who was currently being held in a secret location outside the city, in the shortest possible time, Chen Long immediately found Yang Zhen and gave him a very detailed explanation.
report.
Although he was too busy to do anything, but out of the importance of intelligence work, Yang Zhen still took time to listen to the report and said after a while: "Old Chen, your idea is good. [.Com text] This Kitano Takatsu must not only use
And it must be used well. Just do it according to your ideas, and allocate the needed people, money, and materials first."
"You have to handle this matter personally. You are only accountable to me, the political commissar, and the chief of staff. You must keep it confidential and do not disclose it to anyone except the direct execution personnel. All Japanese prisoners captured in Jiamusi
They must be held separately from other Japanese prisoners of war and screened separately.”
"Intelligence work is the eyes and ears of our troops in marching and fighting. Whether intelligence work can be done well is the key to winning a battle. In previous battles, we relied more on tactical reconnaissance, and even in many cases
We discovered that the enemy had already moved. The intelligence came from a single source, which kept us in a passive response stage."
"Your future work is very important, and can even be said to be a top priority. You are an old man who has been out of the Anti-Japanese War. You have studied in the Soviet Union and have worked in the Central Committee for many years. You have experience in working in the Northeast and study in the Jiangbei system.
He has experience in Soviet intelligence work and also has experience in central intelligence work.”
"The central government transferred you here to better open up the situation in Northeast China. The Japanese army has implemented large-scale public security purges for several consecutive years, which has caused great losses to the underground party in the Northeast. The troops have been trapped in the mountains and old forests before, and it is difficult to contact the outside world.
It is isolation from the outside world that has almost paralyzed our intelligence work."
"After the reorganization of the Second Route Army, it also tried various ways to carry out some intelligence work. However, due to various conditions, especially the lack of specialized talents, and the destruction of the underground party organization, it has never been able to open up the situation. There were too many battles.
Relying on tactical reconnaissance on the battlefield will be very detrimental to our future combat operations. So you must open up the situation as soon as possible,"
"Your burden is heavy, but don't feel any pressure. From now on, feel free to do it boldly. If you have any needs or requests, just come to me or the political commissar or chief of staff directly. Remember, you have to be the ears of the military region.
And the eyes. These eyes will become clairvoyant, and the ears will become the ears of the wind. We must not continue to be blind and touch the elephant."
After that, Yang Zhen picked up a piece of paper and wrote an approval note and handed it to Chen Long: "Take this note and go to Zhang Zhenhua and ask them to allocate the two best 100-watt radio stations to you from among the radio stations in stock.
Radio, three fifty-watt radio stations. We will allocate you fifty Browning pistols, one hundred speed machines, and fifty thousand rounds of bullets from the weapons in stock. In addition, we will allocate you five hundred taels of gold and twenty
Ten thousand counterfeit coins will be used as funding."
"This is the maximum amount that the headquarters can get. You should have an understanding of the current economic situation of the headquarters. The cost of tens of thousands of troops a day is an astronomical figure. So you must give me this money.
Use it well and use it where it should be used.”
"However, you must be cautious about the use of this fund. You must strictly control the income and expenditure, and the accounts must be clear. Remember that if there is corruption, misuse or lavish spending,
In this situation, I want to settle the accounts with you. But this is not to be a Grandet and spend every penny. You must not save money where you should spend money, but you are not allowed to spend a penny on things that should not be spent. "
"In addition, you go to the Political Department of the Military Region to find Gao Yu** to be appointed. All cadres in the Military Region, your intelligence department can give priority to the selection. Headquarters, Political Department, Logistics Department, you will be given the person you like. But there is one thing, you
The intelligence department must be established in the shortest possible time.”
Chen Long was stunned for a moment by Yang Zhen's generous move. He did not expect that the young commander in front of him would be so courageous, approving 500 taels of gold and 200,000 pieces of Manchukuo currency at once.
The money is enough to fund the field troops of three brigades in the military region for a year.
Judging from the current funding situation of the military region, according to the budget that has been made, a brigade's annual funding is only 70,000 pseudo-Manchu yuan. This 70,000 yuan seems to be a lot, but it includes the non-staple food expenses and living expenses of tens of thousands of people.
Subsidy, horse feed and all other expenses.
Although the cost of clothing, equipment, and required food are all allocated by the military region, part of the funding is missing. However, the 70,000 yuan is necessary to ensure that the troops are well fed and maintain combat effectiveness. It is also necessary to ensure that each soldier has a certain allowance.
It is also very tight to buy some daily necessities such as cigarettes and soap.
The army has now expanded countless times compared to the time when Lao Heidingzi's secret camp was established. Even Qunce Mountain has expanded three to four times compared to when it was established. The area of the base area is not just one at Qunce Mountain at the beginning.
Compared with other places, troop locations have begun to be dispersed, and it is no longer realistic to fully realize unified supply.
What is being implemented now is to allocate necessary funds to each brigade and division. In addition to necessary equipment, military uniforms and staple food, the rest of the non-staple food and daily necessities are basically purchased locally. Or you can open up wasteland and grow some vegetables yourself.
, raise some chickens and ducks.
The headquarters actually doesn't have much money. The money on hand was robbed from the Bank of Manchukuo and the Bank of Japan during the last surprise attack on Jiamusi. After spending the past six months, there is not much left. Twenty-five
Although the 10,000 counterfeit Manchu coins are not too much, they are already all the cash the military region has on hand.
Chen Long was not surprised that Yang Zhen attached great importance to intelligence work. No commander-in-chief did not pay attention to intelligence work. However, with the funds of the military region being so tight, he had never imagined that so much funds were allocated at once.
. You know, the current military region is asking for money everywhere.
In particular, the ordnance industry system under construction is almost a big hole that cannot be filled. As far as Chen Long knows, not counting the daily costs of imported raw materials for the ordnance industry system. Just to solve the problem of ordnance industry raw materials, the military region has
Jiangbei purchased a small synthetic ammonia production line with a daily output of 12 tons of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, and the estimated cost was 1.5 million yuan converted into counterfeit Manchu currency.
In addition, Director Peng of the Logistics Department of the Military Region is currently negotiating with him in Jiangbei to purchase captured Polish weapons and equipment, military production lines, and even a small steelmaking plant with an annual output of 50,000 tons of steel from the Soviet army that has occupied Western Ukraine and Western Belarus.
Factory. Once these equipment are successfully introduced, the funds required will be astronomical.
Although several gold mines, coal mines, and iron mines in the base have resumed full production, the number of products they can provide is still limited. A single synthetic ammonia production line has fully budgeted the output of several gold mines in the second half of the year. As for the military industry
Funds for production lines and steelmaking plants are far from being secured.
This does not include the allowances paid to the arsenal workers according to the standards of puppet Manchukuo technical workers. According to Jiangbei standards and at the actual exchange rate of yen and rubles, the wages paid to the few reclusive Soviet experts working in the arsenal were paid.
Chen Long was almost stunned by Yang Zhen's generosity to be able to allocate such a large amount of funds to develop intelligence work when funds were so tight and the follow-up funding gap was quite large.
Looking at the dumbfounded Chen Long, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Don't get excited yet, this money is not given to you for free. I will see results within half a year. In addition, you should pay more attention to the development within the Puppet Manchu Army."
, make more use of the contradictions within the Japanese puppet, Japanese army, and puppet Manchukuo systems. We now have several intelligence lines in the hands of the chief of staff, and they will all be handed over to you from today on."
Having said this, Yang Zhen paused and said: "But your intelligence system can't just ask for money. It must not only be an old hen, but also an old hen that can lay golden eggs. We have limited resources.
In addition to ensuring the daily operation of the army, almost all of the funds have been invested in military production."
"As for your future funding, in addition to this amount, there will be some in the future, but it won't be too much for a long time. You still have to think of ways to fund it yourself. In the future, you will not only have to
In order to have the function of forming your own hematopoiesis, you also need to have the function of transfusing blood to the headquarters. As for how to do it, you have to think more about it. Once the intelligence work is opened up, there will be more opportunities."
To be honest, it was quite painful for Yang Zhen to come up with such a large sum of money at once. Now money is everywhere. Without his own bank and can only rely on seizures, the amount of funds he can call on
It's really limited.
It hurts, but Yang Zhen believes that the money must be spent. To establish an intelligence system in a short period of time, it will not only require a lot of energy and hard work, but also funds.
The situation outside the customs is different from that inside the customs. The grassroots organizations are weak, the number of party members is too small, and even almost blank in many aspects. This makes it more expensive to establish an intelligence system like that inside the customs. When necessary, bribery is the best option.
Fast is also the most convenient method.
In the current situation where the Japanese and puppet forces are still quite strong in the Northeast, it is difficult to open up the situation simply by relying on patriotism and making friends, at least not in a short period of time. Money is not everything, but
The saying that you can’t do anything without money is most profoundly reflected in intelligence work.
After hearing what Yang Zhen said, Chen Long, who had calmed down from his excitement, nodded solemnly and said: "Commander, you can rest assured that I will carefully consider the use of funds and ensure that every copper is spent as it should be.
You will never spend a penny on this place.”
Having said this, Chen Long smiled and said: "Commander, I cannot guarantee long-term blood transfusion, but right now I can provide a sum of funds to the military region. Although it is not too much, it can also temporarily solve part of the military region's funds.
difficulties.”
"In order to obtain our guarantee, Kitano Takatsu handed over all the liquidity of the Fourth Division on hand. Following the clues he provided, we seized one thousand taels of gold and counterfeit Manchu coins from the safe of a Japanese trading bank.
430,000 yuan, 30,000 Japanese yen. In addition to this cash, semi-finished and finished opium products worth 200,000 yuan were also seized from the basement of this trading house."
"This money is all working capital for the various units of the Fourth Division to do business together, and that Japanese firm was opened in Jiamusi by various units of the Fourth Division for the convenience of smuggling. Several parties involved know these.
In addition to the working capital smuggled by various regiments of the Fourth Division, the funds also include accounts embezzled by several parties involved in the construction of the Jiamusi City Wall."
"Because they are worried that their smuggling activities will be discovered by the Kwantung Army headquarters, all their liquid funds are rarely deposited in banks. Most of them are in the form of cash. If large amounts of funds must be used, they are deposited in the bank in the name of a commercial bank in exchange for checks. Therefore,
We can only seize this much cash at one time."
"Judging from Kitano Takatsu's confession, there is no business that the Fourth Division would not dare to do as long as it makes money. Since the Fourth Division entered Sanjiang Province, they have relied on force as a backing and have almost taken over the entire smuggling business in Sanjiang.
Business. Judging from the seized account books, they are responsible for half of the lumber, 70% of the opium, and 90% of the Western medicine smuggling business in Sanjiang Province."
"And judging from the account books, the scale of the smuggling network they built is extremely large. Not only several regiments are involved, but also the 1st Division stationed in Heihe Province, the 8th, 11th, and 12th Divisions of Binjiang Province
Some people in the regiment were dragged into the water, and even some people from the Kwantung Army headquarters were deeply involved."
"Finding out the smuggling network within the Japanese army is extremely important for our future work. With this clue, we can get some of the supplies we need from the Japanese army. For example, Western medicine, auto parts, etc. are extremely strictly controlled by the Japanese."
, and we urgently need strategic materials."
"In addition, based on this guy's confession, we also seized the fourth quarter military pay allocated by the Kwantung Army to the Fourth Division from the safe of the Jiamusi Branch of Japan Zhengjin Bank, totaling 1.2 million yen. In
The Jiamusi Branch of the Puppet Manchukuo Industrial Bank seized the funds allocated by the Puppet Manchukuo Military and Political Department to the Puppet Manchukuo Seventh Military District to establish new troops, as well as 600,000 Puppet Manchukuo dollars for military pay in the fourth quarter."
"Commander, you made the right choice this time. This Kitano Gaojin is also considered to have great supernatural powers. He has many so-called friends in the Jiamusi and Puppet Manchukuo military and political systems. In addition to these things, we also took out quite a lot of things from his mouth.
The whereabouts of Japanese and counterfeit funds.”
"In addition to the military salaries of the Japanese and puppet troops, we also found 1.6 million yuan used by the puppet Manchukuo to forcibly purchase grain from the Jiamusi Branch of the Zhengjin Bank and the Jiamusi Branch of the Puppet Manchukuo Industrial Bank. In addition to us in the Sanjiang Province of the Puppet Manchuria
According to the third quarter tax revenue of other counties, it is more than one million yuan."
In order to plunder more resources in the Northeast and serve the Japanese army, the Kwantung Army promulgated the so-called "Grain Export Law". It stipulated that all grain harvested by farmers should be purchased by their designated departments. This is the first year that Sanjiang Province has another
It is a designated trial area for the Puppet Manchukuo. This 1.6 million yuan was shipped here in order to forcefully purchase grain at a low price."
"In addition to these, there are 400,000 yuan to purchase land for the Japanese pioneer group scheduled to immigrate this year, and 500,000 yuan allocated to build so-called national defense facilities. Of these 500,000 yuan, 300,000 yuan was used to build the lower Yangtze River.
The highways in the region are the national defense highways from Jiamusi to Fujin and Tongjiang.”
"From his confession, we can know that the senior officials of the Kwantung Army never thought that the Second Division's campaign would fail. In the view of the senior officials of the Kwantung Army, your last successful surprise attack on Jiamusi was just an accident. So even if
The war in Jiangbei is in full swing, but their actions are still going as planned. These funds are also in accordance with the plan and have been allocated as early as the beginning of last month."
"The average amount of these funds is not large, but it adds up to a large amount. According to this amount, although it may not be able to completely make up for the military region's funding gap, it can at least solve the urgent need. The captured Fourth Division alone
The regimental salary is enough to pay for our introduction of a synthetic ammonia production line."
