Chiang Kai-shek's meditation resulted in a long wait for everyone.
An Yi felt worse and worse, guessing that Chiang Kai-shek, Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi must have had a tacit understanding in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to explain that Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi had been waiting here for a long time and participated in the discussion of Sino-British relations and the Sino-Myanmar border issue.
To be fair, An Yi, who is going all out to develop basic industries, is not willing to fight. Every time he fires a shot during the war, he will spend his own money. The funds accumulated by each of his companies will be exhausted in the blink of an eye, let alone
There is no need to talk about expanded reproduction.
However, some battles have to be fought. When national sovereignty and national dignity are at stake, why do you need money for even if your life is at stake? After so many years of hard work and hard work, it is not just to expel foreign enemies, but also to protect the country.
At a time when the nation's survival is at stake, should we give it our all? If the British colonists invaded southern and western Yunnan, and the country's territorial integrity and national dignity were trampled upon without a fight back, what would be the value of their efforts?
It's not that An Yi didn't understand Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts, but he definitely disapproved of Chiang Kai-shek's actions. For things like Tang Yulin, if Chiang Kai-shek hadn't nodded in agreement, they wouldn't have dared to cancel the wanted order even if they had given He Yingqin and Huang Yan ten courages.
When he first heard the news, An Yi, who was filled with righteous indignation, wanted to set off a wave of opposition through the Southern Sichuan Radio and Oriental News and other media, so that people across the country would question the central government and Chiang Kai-shek as to why they deserted and led to the loss of large areas of the country's territory.
What could be more important than purging the unsteady elements and strengthening the will of the people across the country to resist Japan?
But in the end, An Yi endured it. At this time, the major floods in the Yellow River and Huaihe River basins had just ended, and the refugees were returning one after another. People everywhere were panicked. Jiangxi, Sichuan, Fujian and Northwest were still fighting hard.
, if you do something like this at this time, it is likely to be counterproductive, creating greater opportunities for the eager Japanese invaders and the cynical warlords who are trying to create divisions. It is very likely that the war will spread in all directions.
An Yi was not willing to do the loss-making business of making wedding clothes for others, so he endured it as always, but the frustration and grief and anger in his heart were far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Song Ziwen saw An Yi's indifferent expression and his lips tightly closed. He knew that the young An Yi had probably grasped his own thoughts, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
Every time he sees An Yi, Song Ziwen feels that An Yi has become much more mature. The only thing that remains unchanged is his bad temper that only recognizes the truth and not others. Although An Yi is now polite to everyone and has a smile on his face.
, but Song Ziwen didn't see a trace of smile in An Yi's eyes.
However, Kong Xiangxi, who had a graceful figure, spoke. He came slightly closer to An Yi and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of the Central Committee's agreement to issue 100 million tariff bonds?"
"Now that it has been approved, what else can we think about? Although the amount is relatively large, with the national tariff as a guarantee, it is estimated that the issuance will not be a big problem. At least companies like Jiangnan Group will not refuse to subscribe. I dare not say that there are too many.
You still have to buy it for three to five million, and you can pass it at the end of the year anyway.
It is a matter of course to use bonds to offset the outstanding tariffs payable and to pay a sum of money in advance to support the central government. By analogy, major capitalists and enterprises across the country will also enthusiastically subscribe. Those people can't help but give it to you as the new finance minister.
To save face?" An Yi replied angrily.
Kong Xiangxi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Next week the Ministry of Finance is going to issue another 12 million railway construction bonds. This money is the preliminary reserve fund for Ziwen to build the Hunan-Jiangxi Railway. Do you want to do it first?
Set an example?"
"Okay! But let's pay back the more than 50 million you owe me first. If you borrow something, you'll pay it back. It won't be difficult to borrow again."
An Yi replied casually. He could clearly see that Kong Xiangxi was joking with him. With the public bond issuance amount of 12 million, he did not need to set an example. If Song Ziwen really needed it, he only needed to ask the wealthy Zhang Xueliang.
Isn't it just a small thing to ask for a loan of ten or twenty million?
Song Ziwen heard the conversation between An Yi and Kong Xiangxi clearly. Just when he wanted to join in the fun, Chiang Kai-shek had already returned to the seat opposite, and Song Ziwen was too embarrassed to speak again.
Chiang Kai-shek drank half a glass of water and said calmly: "An Yi, the renewed conflict on the Sino-Myanmar border must not be discussed at the Central Committee meeting. At least in the recent period, no news can be revealed to the outside world. The whole country
As you know the situation, the Fujian side's counter-insurgency operation has come to an end, and the North China side has just settled down
To calm down, everything needs to get back on track. Now the anti-bandit wars in Fujian, Jiangxi and Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hunan and Hubei are in full swing. If there is another China-Myanmar border crisis at this time, the situation that has finally calmed down will be turbulent again, and even affect the situation.
The overall situation of the country has an unpredictable negative impact. I hope you can have a clear understanding of this."
An Yi was extremely disappointed, sighed, and asked: "Principal, I can maintain restraint, but what if the British take advantage of it and make things worse?"
Chiang Kai-shek hesitated for a moment and then said seriously: "The British have their own central government to mediate. I believe the British are not willing to make things too tense. In the past few days, several people in London, Manchester and other cities have
Aren't 100,000 unemployed people taking to the streets to demonstrate every day? Now the British government is also having a headache. They know clearly that although the Americans have formed an alliance with them on the surface to jointly intervene in our economy, secretly the Americans have been passing through Nanyang, or
third country
We have started trade with us, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, greatly squeezing out the market share that originally belonged to the British. The British consortium is quite complaining about this, and you know it very well. This time due to the enmity between China and Britain, France,
Countries such as Germany, Belgium, and Italy are blatantly vying to enter our market. The successful convening of the Southwest Commodity Expo is a good example. Therefore, the British government must be anxious. With your troops stationed in southern Yunnan, how many of them will
It needs to be weighed and weighed.”
Song Ziwen nodded and agreed: "Actually, I have the same opinion. An Yi, problems that can be solved through consultation need to be solved by avoiding force. In contrast, our biggest enemy is Japan. On this point, I and I
You feel the same."
Now An Yi was completely speechless and decided not to argue with Chiang Kai-shek about this matter.
Now that Chiang Kai-shek has made a decision, An Yi also has his own way of coping. It is okay to endure it for a while, but An Yi will not do it if he endures it again and again. What's more, the "furnace" silver mine contains huge interests ownership issues. An Yi
I would rather snatch it back to benefit my own citizens than watch the treasure being unscrupulously plundered by foreign enemies.
