After Ouyang Yun read this plan, he couldn't help but marvel at it and admired John Niu's talent in this area.
The essence of John Niu's plan is to seize the weakness of the Japanese army's monetary policy in enemy-occupied areas, thereby making off-site supply possible. The specific implementation method of the plan is as follows: use military stamps to exchange for hard currency in Shanghai and other places, and then When he went to the front line to purchase supplies, he answered Ouyang Yun's related questions and said: "Since the military coupons are already universal in enemy-occupied areas, I can be sure that there will be some people in Japan who want to make price differences in different places. This is what we There is an opportunity. Bulk goods are inconvenient to carry. If they want to make this kind of wealth, they can only exchange it into hard currency, such as gold. Then, there should be such an underground market that specializes in such transactions. We can It was carried out in several big cities separately, and then hard currency was used to purchase supplies in the warring areas. In this way, even if the Japanese had suspicions, they would not suspect going to the warring areas, which ensured the supply security of the frontline troops."
In terms of currency and finance, Ouyang Yun only knew some vocabulary but did not understand the secrets. However, fortunately, he happened to know that there was such a Japanese spy organization that specialized in making money through this method, so he immediately made the decision to follow John Niu's instructions. Find a way to do it,
During the Anti-Japanese War, the domestic situation in Japan was not good, especially in the economic field. The situation was quite severe. The reason why the Japanese cabinet did not oppose the Japanese army launching a war of aggression against China was that it wanted to use the war to dilute domestic conflicts.
In this general environment, some Japanese spy organizations not only unscrupulously plundered China's wealth, but also made money from ordinary soldiers. As a result, a rather strange scene was formed. Military tickets were used as military pay. , has actually become a tool for these secret services to make money,
Among these secret service agencies, the most famous is the Mei Agency, which is headquartered in Shanghai and headed by Ying Zuo Jia Zhao.
Taking advantage of the Japanese secret service's opportunity to exchange military coupons for hard currency in large and medium-sized cities such as Shanghai, exchange counterfeit military coupons for hard currency, and then get them to Shaanxi and North China for use. This strategy is definitely feasible. The Japanese army now has a total of There are more than 400,000 troops, and the amount of military coupons issued is very large. The 57th Army plus the First School Division, the Mountain Division only has about 50,000 people. The soldiers of the 57th Army are far less paid than the Japanese army. The amount of military coupons required is actually not much. It’s big, so John Niu is confident that it’s completely feasible.
Jiang Guangnai and others naturally had no objection to using Japanese money to support the 57th Army, so the resolution was unanimously adopted.
After successfully solving the supply problem of the 57th Army, Ouyang Yun once again cheered up to face the chaotic political situation in Chongqing. He felt that he had the responsibility to intervene in the unfavorable situation of Xuebingjun.
The current China cannot be in chaos, nor can it afford it. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops are waiting to destroy China within half a year.
The situation in Chongqing was completely out of control. It was related to the evidence Wang Zhaoming presented about the Sino-Japanese peace talks and the terms of the peace talks. The Wang clique used this trump card, and the direction of public opinion in Chongqing immediately changed, from being anti-Wang to anti-Chiang.
Hundreds of thousands of students suddenly pointed their finger at Chiang Kai-shek and the current Chongqing government overnight. This caught Chiang Kai-shek and the GCD people off guard and completely confused them. Seeing that the Wang clique's actions to convene the party congress became more and more effective. , Chiang Kai-shek finally couldn't sit still. In desperation, he could only reveal Kong Xiangxi, who was responsible for signing the peace treaty. Kong Xiangxi was not only the president of the reorganized Executive Yuan, but also the minister of finance and the director of the central bank. The president, who had a prosperous official career, suddenly suffered a sudden turn of events and became a national criminal. Naturally, he could no longer hold these public offices. Not only that, he would also have to be tried by the Central Court for this, and he would probably be jailed. Of course, Because he was still in Hong Kong at this time, it would no longer exist once he was arrested and brought to justice. Therefore, apart from being forced to issue a telegram announcing his resignation, nothing else happened.
The huge traitorous scandal finally found only Kong Xiangxi as the scapegoat. Naturally, the Wang Clan was unwilling to do so. Under the instruction of Wang Zhaoming, they organized forces to pursue and fight fiercely. They wanted to bring down Chiang Kai-shek, but they were unable to find him. There are clues about Chiang Kai-shek’s involvement in this matter.
Wang Xi obviously underestimated Chiang Kai-shek's wisdom. It turned out that he had been prepared to expose the peace talks as early as the early stage of the negotiations, so there was no trace of personal participation from the beginning to the end. Of course, in view of the relationship between Kong Xiangxi and Chiang Kai-shek, who Everyone knew that this would not have happened without the latter's instruction. Therefore, the development of the situation gradually deviated from the track and began to develop towards the protection and attack of Kong Xiangxi.
From Chiang Kai-shek's point of view, Kong Xiangxi suffered on his behalf. Even if he did not consider the feelings of the Song sisters, he had to find a way to keep Kong safe. Although Kong could not be brought to justice because he was in Hong Kong, his family was implicated. His property and apartment were attacked and destroyed by the "mob", causing the eldest sister of the Song family to cry to her younger sister every day, which also made the old Jiang's head extremely big.
After the Wang family discovered that they could not find any evidence against Chiang, they hoped that Kong Xiangxi could provide witness, so they tried their best to suppress the Kong family's livelihood and industry, hoping that he would be unable to bear the energy and rebel.
The Wang clan's suppression of the Kong family was actually the four major families that suppressed it. Naturally, the four major families tried their best to fight back, so a scene emerged that stunned foreign reporters and envoys.
Due to the competition between the two major forces, various corruption cases emerged one after another, and many newspapers had to add more editions, which directly led to the phenomenon that paper in Chongqing is expensive and newspapers are hard to find.
As for the officialdom of the Republic of China, Ouyang Yun had always thought that he could see it clearly because of his status as a time traveler. Now he realized that he was ignorant. It turned out that the officialdom of the Republic of China was so dark that it could cover the sun and the moon. This was really terrifying. He was even worried that if no one stepped forward to control the development of the situation, once this political trend spread to the army, a large-scale civil war might happen again.
A series of changes in Chongqing's political situation dazzled Mu Jiandie and Guo Biao in Fuling. When the Chongqing government was unable to operate normally due to the chaos for more than a month and triggered a series of adverse reactions, Mu Jiandie finally realized What a mistake I made in this matter,
Ouyang Yun, who was far away in Guangzhou, felt the same way. He finally discovered the biggest difference between himself and a real politician. Not only did he not have an overall view of the overall situation, but he was also not ruthless and decisive enough. If Mu Jiandie had not given Wang Zhaoming that blow at that time, In terms of phone calls, the latter will never be able to afford such a big waste even if he does not die. Considering the overall situation, because Wang's existence has affected the unity and stability of the entire country, even if he has no possibility of defecting to Japan, the correct approach He should also be killed,
You must know that this time is different from usual. The Japanese are watching eagerly around them. Any problem in China may be magnified and become a breakthrough point for the Japanese. Now, this is no longer as simple as a problem, but will soon What a damning question,
With a feeling of guilt, Mu Jiandie sent a telegram to the General Headquarters, sincerely admitting his mistake. He believed that he had failed to live up to the Commander-in-Chief's high expectations and failed to appreciate the Commander-in-Chief's foresight. Therefore, because of his own selfish thoughts, he resulting in the current situation,
Ouyang Yun did not blame Mu Jiandie. Historically, the Sino-Japanese peace talks did not succeed, but in this time and space it has become a reality. Then, the previous historical trajectory is no longer traceable. In this way, regardless of Mu Jiandie and the others, Whether Wang Zhaoming can be successfully assassinated or not, it will be difficult to prevent all this from happening in the end. Now that it has happened, it is useless to regret and complain. What we should do now is how to control ourselves and not let the current chaotic situation blind us.
Because of this experience, when Mu Jiandie sent a message back to ask about the stance of the Xuebing Army, Ouyang Yun responded decisively, asking them to stand with the Central Committee on behalf of the Xuebing Army.
For this matter, Ouyang Yun also held a special telephone conference to discuss the position of the Xuebing Army with a group of big shots. At the meeting, many people suggested that this was an opportunity for the Xuebing Army and an opportunity to enter the central government. Their position is to support whichever side has the upper hand. Ouyang Yun's view is different from theirs. He said: "There can only be one legal government in China. This is beyond doubt. Although the Chongqing government has An unforgivable mistake was made once, but you also heard that this was a private operation by some pro-Japanese elements and had nothing to do with the central government. Therefore, we must stand firmly on the side of the central government this time. ” He also said: “No matter how patriotic and upright the Wang faction is now, one thing is undeniable. Many of them are pro-Japanese. These people must be defeated. When things have developed to this point, who are we talking about? It no longer matters who is right or wrong, the important thing is to stop it immediately and not give the Japanese a chance."
Nine out of ten of the big men in the Xuebing Army were at odds with Lao Jiang. This was one of the reasons why Ouyang Yun was able to unite them around him. However, in this matter, no one was consistent with Lao Jiang. To sing the opposite, they responded to Ouyang Yun's call and firmly stood on the side of the Chongqing government.
After the meeting adjourned, Ouyang Yun immediately telegraphed Mu Jiandie and asked him to go to Chongqing on his behalf to meet with Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai to express the Xuebingjun's position. He also published it in the "Xuebingjun Times" and "Guangzhou Daily" Published an article calling on the people across the country to keep their eyes open and see clearly the truth behind this incident, and not to be deceived by some speculators, directly pointing the finger at the Wang clique.
This political farce came to an end a month and a half later because the Japanese army launched the Wuhan Campaign. After this incident, the days when Chiang Kai-shek was the leader of the Chongqing government were gone forever, and China's political landscape also changed significantly. With the rapid changes, the Wang Clan, a political force that was once on the fringes of the central government, once again made its grand appearance.
