Yang Zhen, who was in a meeting in the Northeast Bureau, received a telegram from Li Yanping about Du Kaishan's behavior after learning about the family change. After thinking about it, he drafted a reply to Li Yanping in person, asking him to withdraw the manpower he had sent to follow him at a distance because he was worried about it.
Come. [.Com text] Just like myself in the previous stage, it is up to Du Kaishan to solve this kind of thing by himself, and there is nothing others can do to help.
This time, Yang Zhen rushed from the headquarters in Xingshan Fortress to Luobei, where the Northeast Bureau is stationed, for a meeting overnight. He left in a hurry. His original idea of having a good talk with Du Kaishan had to be postponed. He rushed back this time.
The Northeast Bureau held a meeting because of a top-secret telegram from the commander-in-chief who had just returned from Jiangbei.
The commander-in-chief's trip to Jiangbei this time was not only to negotiate the introduction of military production lines, but also to purchase several transport aircraft from Jiangbei as proposed by Yang Zhen, and to help open a direct flight to Yan'an via Jiangbei with refueling in Outer Mongolia.
Air routes. In order to open up direct connections with the central government.
Before the launch of this campaign, that is, after this group of cadres, most of whom were transferred from Xinjiang, set out from Xinjiang, Yang Zhen received a call from the central government. The central government directly informed in the telegram that as the traffic environment in the northwest deteriorates day by day,
The original route to the Northeast via Gansu, Xinjiang, and the Soviet Union had to be temporarily suspended.
Cadres passing through Lanzhou have been unreasonably arrested several times by the local military and political authorities, or even secretly kidnapped and then disappeared. Out of the need to protect the safety of cadres, this group of cadres will be the last until the safety of the traffic line is restored.
A group of cadres transferred from Guan Nei to the Northeast.
Eager to re-establish direct contact with the central government, Yang Zhen accelerated the progress of discussing with Jiangbei the opening of the original air route in order to shorten the time on the road. In order to purchase the required transport aircraft, Yang Zhen even endured Jiangbei's efforts.
The lion opened its mouth and opened a ton of gold for a plane and trained air and ground crews at a sky-high price settled in Japanese yen.
What Yang Zhen didn't expect was that after the battle, Jiangbei's attitude of being somewhat ambiguous and even asking for prices suddenly changed. The change was so big that Yang Zhen, who felt that he had a strong psychological endurance,
They all feel quite overwhelmed.
Jiangbei not only once again agreed to provide three low-interest loans with a total value of 20 million rubles this time, but also agreed to Yang Zhen's sale to the Anti-Japanese Alliance on the premise that the pilots would handle the matter themselves. Five Li-II aircraft, which were also the latest in the Soviet army, were sold to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
transport aircraft. He also agreed to transfer to Yang Zhen's command two C-46 transport aircraft newly imported by the Soviet Army from the United States with a carrying capacity of eight tons in accordance with Yang Zhen's request.
As for the weapons and ammunition captured by the Soviet army during the invasion of Poland that Yang Zhen wanted to buy, the production line was also very generous. It said that these weapons can be sold at half price according to the standard of second-hand goods. The ammunition can be sold at 30% of the international market price.
.
As for the military production lines named by Yang Zhen, all Polish weapons production lines confiscated in Western Ukraine and Western Belarus, as well as two ammunition production lines, can be provided at 60% of the actual value. However, Poland's industry is mainly concentrated in the western part of the former Germany and Austria.
Within the Hungarian Empire, there are not many military industries in Western Ukraine and Western Belarus, which were originally part of Tsarist Russia. The quantity provided in this area is limited.
Jiangbei even proposed to cancel the previous contract for a small synthetic ammonia factory, and the other party would transfer a medium-sized synthetic ammonia production plant located in Lviv, an important industrial area in Poland, to the Anti-Japanese Alliance for free. It even promised to transfer all captured Polish Air Force aircraft to it.
To Yang Zhen.
Of course, Yang Zhen still needed to pay a certain amount of disassembly and transportation fees for these materials. Moreover, the Soviet experts who came to help also needed to be paid double the average domestic salary.
Although these things are originally second-hand goods, they should be sold at second-hand goods prices. But at present, his only outsourcing channel is in the hands of others, Yang Zhen can only endure it. In his opinion,
This is purely a method of immediately setting up a memorial arch.
It is obvious that Jiangbei is very satisfied with the fact that he has expanded Yang Zhen's troops and achieved surprising results, making his gains far greater than his initial investment. In Moscow's view, using a bunch of his own useless
It is quite economical to exchange scrap metal and almost free factory equipment for a stable eastern border.
As the situation in Europe worsens, the Soviet Supreme Command is very satisfied with the ability to maintain a stable border in the east. In the view of the Soviet Supreme Command, since the Soviet army has decided to use force to solve the Finnish problem and maintain a stable
The eastern border is even more important.
Under the so-called advice of the Supreme Commander of the Soviet Army, the negotiations, which had been delayed for two months, suddenly progressed at a rapid pace. After Jiangbei changed, he either delayed it as long as he could, or it was the lion's way of asking for prices. It turned out that
After long-delayed negotiations, an agreement was reached in just five days that satisfied Yang Zhen. Jiangbei not only basically met all the requirements made by the commander-in-chief, but even provided some additional assistance.
Project. For example, Yang Zhen originally ordered two Li-II transport planes, but this time Jiangbei simply and generously added three Li-II transport planes.
He also promised to give away all the Polish Air Force aircraft and some Army tanks captured by the Soviet Army in the Polish campaign, which Yang Zhen had not originally proposed, for free. Of course, one of the prerequisites for this is that the personnel who use these equipment must be fully trained.
To be conducted in Jiangbei, all instructors must also be Soviet troops.
As for the previous refusal to admit that the Soviet Army purchased C-46 transport aircraft from the United States, which were the latest model even in the United States, they agreed to resell two of them this time. Jiangbei's performance this time once again proved that dignity is achieved through strength.
, without strength, no one will pay attention to you even if you hold up a golden rice bowl and beg for food.
These captured Polish army weapons and equipment were equivalent to a pile of scrap metal for the Soviet army. Whether it was the imitation of the German Type 1924 WZ Type 29 rifle or the modified Soviet-made Mosinagan rifle
The WZ 25 is still a WZ 1928 light machine gun produced by imitating the Belgian FN 1918 light machine gun, or the WZ 30 water-cooled heavy machine gun uses 79 bullets.
Its artillery equipment consisted of French 75mm mountain field guns made in France or imitated by Poland, or 100mm light howitzers produced in Austria-Hungary and the Czech Republic. For the Soviet army, they were all useless antiques. Especially those with a
The 69mm mountain cannon produced by France after the war was not even considered an antique for the Soviet army. Not to mention that many of the Polish Army weapons and equipment captured by the Soviet army were Soviet troops captured by Poland during the Soviet-Polish War.
Mountain field artillery from the First World War.
For the Soviet Army, which was vigorously expanding its military strength, these weapons and equipment were of little use because of the different calibers, and they required a lot of effort to maintain. In wartime, it was easier to cause equipment confusion because of the different calibers of weapons.
It's better to package it all at once and give it to Yang Zhen cheaper.
But even if these are scrap metal in other people's eyes, they are in their hands. Under the premise that you can't bring him any benefits, even if you buy them with gold bars, you won't give him even a bullet or a bullet.
A rifle.
Jiangbei designated this time that Yang Zhen obtained a low-interest loan of 20 million rubles from Jiangbei to buy these burdensome things in their eyes, which was almost killing two birds with one stone. Not only was the loaned money not even used, it returned to himself.
In their pockets, they got 20 million rubles in vain, and Yang Zhen also wanted to accept such a huge favor from them.
After all, by selling arms to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they still had to take certain military and diplomatic risks. Although after the rapid growth of Yang Zhen's army, the risk they took was almost minimal. But for the Soviet Union, which has always upheld the great interests of the Soviet Union,
For Jiangbei, who has the principle of supremacy, this risk is still very high.
Although Jiangbei changed its attitude greatly this time and was very generous with its actions, it refused Yang Zhen's wish to purchase the inventory of nickel, chromium and other raw materials seized by the Soviet army in Poland. He only agreed to sell 1,500 tons of the seized inventory.
Before the war, Poland imported high-grade nickel-chromium alloy steel from Germany, as well as two thousand tons of explosives used in making artillery shells.
The opinion they gave was that Yang Zhen's headquarters did not yet have such advanced technology as smelting nickel-chromium alloy steel, and did not even have a regular steelmaking plant. The special steel needed to make guns was still provided by the great Soviet
Better. These raw materials that Yang Zhen has always wanted to obtain, no matter what the commander-in-chief said, the other party just wouldn't speak.
As for Yang Zhen's request that Jiangbei could provide a set of steel-making equipment so that he could use the iron ore resources in Xiaoxing'anling to build a steel plant and achieve self-sufficiency in steel for guns, the request was also rejected unceremoniously. Jiangbei's reply
It is also clear that the huge cost of building a modern steelmaking plant is not what you can afford now.
Without air control, it is neither necessary nor useful to build a steel plant. The great Soviet Union can provide you with high-quality steel at extremely favorable prices at any time. Moreover, the captured Polish steel plant equipment is also needed by the Soviet Union.
.
It is obvious that although Jiangbei is surprisingly generous this time, he does not intend to let go of control of raw materials. In other words, Yang Zhen has now established a modern arsenal, but the blood vessels are still in his hands. The arsenal's
The supply of raw materials can be cut off at any time if Jiangbei wants to.
Without high-quality nickel-chromium alloy steel, you can produce a bunch of astronomical amounts of ammunition, but you can't build guns to fire these ammunition, and it is useless. Without raw materials, no matter how advanced the equipment in the arsenal is, it will be useless.
It's just a pile of scrap metal.
This time, Yang Zhen was urgently summoned to the Northeast Bureau. In addition to meeting with Li Yanlu, the purpose was to discuss whether to do this deal or not. Twenty million rubles, this amount can be described as an astronomical figure in the eyes of the commander-in-chief and other leaders of the Northeast Bureau.
It must be implemented with great caution.
After listening to the commander-in-chief's narration about the negotiation, Yang Zhen said without hesitation: "Do it, why not do it? Use 20 million rubles to buy more than ten divisions of weapons and equipment, as well as a large number of weapons production lines.
Why not do such a good deal?"
"Didn't Jiangbei promise that we can use coal, agricultural products and part of the cash to repay the loan within five years? Then what are we waiting for? According to the current output of 60,000 tons of coal per month in Heli area, in addition to the part we use for ourselves,
We can use 40,000 tons to repay the debt, so there is nothing to worry about."
"Now that the war in Europe has started, Jiangbei is so generous when it comes to us. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. What is there to worry about? There is no such store after this village."
After the commander-in-chief looked at Li Yanlu, the newly appointed director of the Northeast Working Committee, he hesitated and finally said: "Now the military mission is overriding everything, and we agreed to repay the loan with Heli coal. But Comrade Yang Zhen now controls Jidong
You must hand over several coal mines and gold mines in the hands of the military region. The coal and gold produced will be used by the Northeast Bureau."
"In addition, after the 20 million ruble loan for the purchase of weapons and military production lines is used, there will be about 2 million rubles left. Half of this money will be handed over to the Northeast Bureau. The Northeast Working Committee has begun work, and local governments have been established in various places.
Finished. But funds are extremely tight.”
"The funds you allocated can only maintain the daily work of the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast Working Committee, that is, they can only feed the staff. In the current situation where there is no source of funds, we can only reach out to you.
Also, 50% of the funds you capture from future operations must be handed over to the Northeast Bureau."
Looking at the commander-in-chief who was talking to him so seriously for the first time, and how he and Li Yanlu were speaking so loudly, Yang Zhen smiled without any hesitation and said: "Commander-in-Chief, Director Li, isn't that what you said?
Are you aware of this? These coal mines, gold mines, and even the loans do not belong to me, Yang Zhen, but are the wealth of the country and the nation, and they should be handed over to superiors for unified management."
"The principle of our party is that the party commands the gun, not the gun commanding the party. The Jidong Military Region is the party's team, not my personal team, Yang Zhen. It is necessary to obey the command of the Northeast Bureau. I want money from my son, what else can I say?
of?"
"In this way, among the several coal mines in the Heli area, the military region will keep one to rehabilitate prisoners of war, and the rest will be handed over for free. As for the gold mines, the tens of thousands of troops in the military region under the command of the general command are also waiting for rice to be put into the pot, so they must be left to me.
Next, I think the Wutong River gold mine will be left to us, and I can hand over the rest."
"In addition, do not turn over half of the balance of the loan. In this way, no matter how much it is, in addition to leaving 30% as working capital, the military region can all be handed over to the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast Working Committee for unified use. However, the funds seized in combat can only be turned over at most.
Thirty percent."
"Commander-in-Chief, Director Li, the tens of thousands of troops in the military region need to eat horses and chew horses for a month is an astronomical figure. It is helpless for me to keep these things. The emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. As the commander of the military region, I cannot let the troops go hungry.
Go fight with your stomach empty. You can't even leave some cigarette money for the soldiers."
"In terms of funding, I can follow the requirements of the Northeast Bureau, but the military factory must be managed by the Jidong Military Region and cannot be handed over to the Northeast Bureau. We can directly allocate the supplements needed by the First Army and the Third Route Army from the inventory. And this purchase
All weapons and equipment were handed over to the Jidong Military Region."
"Our troops have a large number of people. After the expansion, the main force plus local troops will be nearly 100,000 people. There is a huge demand for weapons and equipment, especially ammunition. As the main force in the Northeast Anti-Japanese War, the Jidong Military Region, which is under the greatest pressure, must ensure equipment, ammunition
Supplement.”
