The 918th Regiment and the 128th Regiment of Jiang Weiguo's direct lineage also had six "invisible infantry battalions", three of which were sent to Wuhan and three to Fuzhou. Institute, torpedo boat factory, torpedo factory, mine factory, submarine base.

These military institutions and departments were all founded by Jiang Weiguo. Jiang Weiguo didn't want to plant trees by himself and let others take advantage of the shade. What's more, he didn't worry that these institutions and departments would fall into the hands of others, in case his hard work and banknotes were wasted. , When the time comes, it will be too late to regret, and it is safest to arrange your own people to take care of your own things.

Chapter 062 Birthday

After Jiang Weiguo was busy with the reorganization of the navy, it was already golden autumn and October.

Dragging his exhausted body and his wallet shriveled like an onion, Jiang Weiguo flew back to Nanjing from Wuhan in a daze, and it was already evening when he arrived in Nanjing.

Jiang Weiguo planned to go to the army camp, but someone was already waiting for him at the airport.

"Second uncle!" The people waiting for Jiang Weiguo saw Jiang Weiguo getting off the plane, and immediately greeted him with smiles on their faces.

Jiang Weiguo was taken aback, because the man who called him "Second Uncle" was already 35 and six years old, and he was also a dignified army colonel.

Jiang Weiguo looked intently, breathed a sigh of relief, and said helplessly, "Xiaoxian, what are you doing? Just call me Weiguo or Jianhao!"

"Hey, seniority can't be messed up!" The other party looked very optimistic.

The colonel who spoke to Jiang Weiguo was Jiang Xiaoxian, the grandnephew of Chiang Kai-shek's hall, and his position at this time was the leader of the third group in the attendant's room.

In the Chiang family, if Chiang Kai-shek is the first generation, then Jiang Jingguo and Jiang Weiguo are the second generation. The children of Jiang Jingguo and Jiang Weiguo will be called Jiang Xiaomou, and the third generation is ranked by the word "filial piety". According to seniority, Jiang Xiaoxian is one generation lower than Jiang Weiguo. It is indeed necessary to call Jiang Weiguo "uncle".

"What's the matter? You even came to pick me up at the airport!" Jiang Weiguo asked Jiang Xiaoxian, "I'm going to the army!"

Jiang Xiaoxian laughed: "The Chairman and Madam are waiting for you at home, tell me to pick you up!"

Jiang Weiguo's heart skipped a beat: "What happened?"

Jiang Xiaoxian smiled: "It's nothing.

Chairman and Madam miss you, tell me to let you go home after getting off the plane!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Okay!"

Jiang Xiaoxian handed over another telegram: "Second Uncle, your telegram is from Germany!"

Jiang Weiguo was overjoyed. He estimated that nine times out of ten it was a good thing. After reading it, as expected, Dai Anguo reported to him: The personnel and equipment that the German government promised to help China build a car factory for free will soon arrive in China. These personnel and equipment Both came from the newly established German "Volkswagen" car company.

Volkswagen?Jiang Weiguo smiled. This company and this brand are famous in later generations, and its "founder" is Hitler.

After Hitler came to power, he put forward an idea to produce a cheap "Volkswagen car". He said that every German, at least every German employee, should have his own car, just like the United States.

There is one car for every five people in the United States, and one car for every 50 people in Germany (in this year, that is, in 1936, the production of cars in the United States was 445 million, while that in Germany was 30). German workers ride bicycles to and from work Or take the bus, so he ordered the German auto industry to produce an economical car for ordinary Germans for only 990 marks each.

Volkswagen AG, thus was born.

Volkswagen was new at this time, the company was of course the "official company" of Nazi Germany and had a lot of policy advantages, but the company really wanted to produce economical cars like Hitler envisioned for 990 marks each , the difficulty is relatively high, because the price is too low, it is difficult to reduce the cost to less than 990 marks without cutting corners (whoever cuts corners and produces inferior cars, Hitler will definitely have his head), the person in charge of the company , the famous German auto engineer and the founder of Porsche, Ferdinand Porsche, racked his brains for this. It happened that Jiang Weiguo asked Germany to help China build a car factory.

Both Hitler and Porsche believed that it was very appropriate to send Volkswagen to China. The first was to fulfill the promise; , because China is rich in resources, and the materials obtained locally are definitely cheaper than those in Germany, which relies on imported resources, and the wages of Chinese workers are much lower than those of German workers, which is in line with the purpose of Volkswagen.

Therefore, Volkswagen was ordered by Hitler to come to China.

The two got into the car and headed for Xilu together.

After arriving at Qilu, Jiang Xiao went to report to Wang Shihe first. After all, Wang Shihe was his superior. Jiang Weiguo went in alone, and he found the restaurant was brightly lit.

Walking to the door of the restaurant, Jiang Weiguo saw that Song Meiling was busy in the kitchen with several maids, and the table was full of dishes. Chiang Kai-shek was sitting at the table reading the newspaper, frowning slightly, with a gloomy expression.

"Father, mother, I'm back!" Jiang Weiguo walked in honestly.

"Wei'er, are you back?" "Weiguo is back?" Chiang Kai-shek immediately raised his head amiably, and Song Meiling also looked at Jiang Weiguo who walked in with joy.

"Hello, father, hello, mother!" Jiang Weiguo said with an obedient expression on his face.

"Okay, okay, come and sit!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded with a smile, and Soong Meiling told the maids: "You can go down!"

After the maids left, Jiang Weiguo sat at the table, looked at the table full of dishes, and asked with a smile: "Father, mother, today is not a festival, how do you do so many dishes? Is there anything good?"

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo lovingly: "Isn't it because of your hard work recently! Of course, my wife and I will reward you well.

You, you first went to Germany as an envoy, contacted overseas Chinese, and made great contributions to the country. After returning, you established the first armored force of the national army, and also helped to rectify the air force and navy, and established a naval arsenal. You have done many great things, indeed. Great work! "

Jiang Weiguo smiled: "Father has praised me, these are what I should do!"

Song Meiling smiled and said, "Weiguo, what's the date today?"

Jiang Weiguo thought for a while: "October [-]th, what's wrong?" He felt that this day was very ordinary.

Song Meiling reminded Jiang Weiguo: "What about tomorrow?"

Jiang Weiguo was at a loss: "October [-]th, what's wrong?" He felt that tomorrow would be more ordinary.

Song Meiling couldn't help laughing, she looked at Chiang Kai-shek: "Darling, Weiguo is really busy, I forgot what day tomorrow is!"

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo more and more lovingly: "Wei'er, tomorrow is your birthday!"

"Ah?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback, "Is it my birthday?" Of course he was not worried about the birthday of the "real Jiang Weiguo".

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo lovingly and happily: "Wei'er, tomorrow is your 20th birthday, you are already 20 years old, a full 1916 years old!" He said with some emotion, "Twenty, you are an adult At 10, the crown stands at 6!” (Jiang Weiguo was born on October 1936, 10, so October 6, [-] was his twentieth birthday.

Song Meiling looked at Jiang Weiguo: "Your father is going to Luoyang tomorrow, so he can't celebrate your birthday with you, so, tonight, our family will have a reunion dinner in advance!" She looked at Chiang Kai-shek again, "Darling, Weiguo is twenty , you will be fifty at the end of the month!" (Chiang Kai-shek was born on October 1887, 10, so October 31, 1936 was his fiftieth birthday.

Chiang Kai-shek seemed to be feeling more and more emotional: "Yes, the child has grown up, and I am old.

At forty there is no confusion, at fifty you know your destiny! "

Jiang Weiguo said with a smile: "Father, Huang Hansheng didn't meet Liu Bei until he was 60 years old, Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't conquer the world until he was 70 years old, Taigong Jiang didn't become prime minister until he was 80 years old, Taijun She was able to lead the battle until he was 45 years old, Mr. Zhongshan was already in charge when he launched the 50 Revolution. He is 30 years old, but his journey has just begun! Father, you are only [-] years old, how can you be old? Even after [-] to [-] years, you will still be "an old man, with aspirations for thousands of miles; a martyr in his twilight years, with great ambitions", isn't it? "

Chiang Kai-shek laughed: "Wei'er, your mouth is becoming more and more eloquent! You have a smooth tongue!"

Song Meiling said with a smile: "Of course Weiguo's mouth can speak! Otherwise, how could he silence the Japanese in front of Hitler?"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and looked at Jiang Weiguo gently, "Wei'er, it's your birthday, so father should give you a gift.

Tell me, what do you want? "

Jiang Weiguo's brain immediately started to work quickly: "Damn it! What a good opportunity to rip off! If you don't make a lot of money, how can you be worthy of the generosity of my 'father'? What should I order? My most important thing now is What the fuck is missing is money! Money, forget it! He is also poor!" After thinking for a minute, Jiang Weiguo smiled and looked at Chiang Kai-shek: "Father, give me some... bullets! My army wants to carry out Live ammunition training, ammunition is not enough!"

Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help laughing: "I, the Military Commission, and the Military and Political Department have already taken special care of your two regiments. Is it not enough to give your troops [-] bullets per capita? Okay, tell me, how much do you want?"

Jiang Weiguo was also polite: "1000 million rounds!"

Chiang Kai-shek stared: "You are like a lion! There are too many! Less!"

"900 rounds!"

"Is this called less? I'll give you 300 million at most!"

"300 million rounds? Too little! 800 million rounds!"

"400 million rounds! No more!"

"Five million rounds! Father, I beg you! Five million rounds, okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Chiang Kai-shek said helplessly, "I'll give Yu Dawei a note right away, and you can get it from him tomorrow! If I had known you were so rude, I wouldn't have said what I just said!" He felt a little regretful.

Song Meiling watched the scene of the father and son staring and bargaining, and couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Weiguo had a very delicious dinner this time. The delicious food is secondary. The most important thing is that he knocked out a full 200 ​​million rounds of bullets from Chiang Kai-shek.

"Damn it! There are bullets, and finally let the brothers start live ammunition training!" Jiang Weiguo was elated.

After eating, Jiang Weiguo couldn't wait to "present treasure" to Chiang Kai-shek: "Father, we will be able to produce cars by ourselves soon!"

"Oh?" Chiang Kai-shek was really pleasantly surprised, "Really?"

"Of course it is true!" Jiang Weiguo told Chiang Kai-shek that Volkswagen was about to come to China to cooperate with China in automobile production, and at the same time "bragged" about his "important role" in this matter.

Sure enough, Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed when he heard it, and he praised Jiang Weiguo again and again.

During the period of the Republic of China, China could not produce its own automobiles. In order to build China's own automobile industry, three attempts were made.

The first time was done by Zhang Xueliang. In 1929, he invested 80 yuan to let Shenyang Arsenal develop a car. It took two years before and after. Shenyang Arsenal finally successfully trial-produced China's first car, which was named "Minsheng Brand". Ten cars were produced, but with the outbreak of the "September 1th Incident", the automobile development business of Shenyang Arsenal also came to an abrupt end (Jiang Weiguo greeted Zhang Xueliang's family for the nAA[-] time in his heart); This year, a group of rich businessmen in Shanghai jointly raised funds to cooperate with the German Mercedes-Benz Motor Company, planning to establish a "Zhongyuan" Chinese local car brand. The progress of Chinese domestic auto brands is difficult, and they were all interrupted by the war in the end.

"Father!" Jiang Weiguo said with a good-natured expression on his face, "Volkswagen came to China to cooperate with us. The cars produced in Germany are called 'Volkswagen'. In China, I plan to produce two kinds of 'Volkswagen'. One One is a civilian travel vehicle, the other is a military truck, the former is called 'Meiling', and the latter is called 'Zhongzheng', how about it?" He was flattering.

"Good! Good! Good!" Chiang Kai-shek smiled.

Taking advantage of Chiang Kai-shek's good mood, Jiang Weiguo immediately asked for benefits: "Father, our country's industrial foundation is very weak, especially the heavy industry, chemical industry, and military industry. It is national strength, and what we are fighting for is industry. The most important thing is heavy industry, chemical industry, and military industry.

Therefore, speeding up the construction of these three major industries is already a top priority without delay.

In addition, the war is imminent, and the few heavy industries and chemical industries in our country serve the war and the military industry, so there is no need to separate the heavy industry, chemical industry, and military industry, and they are all centrally managed by the government.

I propose to set up an independent department 'Department of Military Industry' to coordinate and manage our country's military industry, heavy industry, and chemical industry. How about that? "

Chiang Kai-shek said: "Wei'er, your proposal makes sense. In fact, the military industry of the party-state is currently under the responsibility of the Ordnance Industry Department of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, and the industry is under the responsibility of the Resources Committee of the Military Commission..."

"Then let's merge these two departments!" Jiang Weiguo said, "Resources and industry are inseparable from the beginning, and the war is imminent, and the combination of these two departments will also improve efficiency!"

Chiang Kai-shek thought about it.

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was still a little hesitant, Jiang Weiguo simply threw out two heavy chips: "Father, I just commissioned Zhu Jiahua to form a geological survey team to go to the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan in southern Sichuan (Panzhihua area, but there is no place name Panzhihua at this time) and Exploration is carried out at the junction of Guizhou and Yunnan in the west of Guizhou (the Liupanshui area, but there is no such place name as Liupanshui at this time).

Chiang Kai-shek was taken aback immediately, he looked at Jiang Weiguo in disbelief: "Wei'er, is this true?"

Jiang Weiguo grinned: "It should be true!"

Chiang Kai-shek stared at Jiang Weiguo with wide eyes: "How did you know that there are iron and coal mines at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, Guizhou and Yunnan?"

Jiang Weiguo once again made up lies: "Führer Hitler told me.

Father, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, a large number of foreign missionaries came to China. On the surface, they were spreading Western religions. In fact, most of them secretly took on the mission of spying on intelligence, spying on secrets, and exploring resources. Two batches of them were disguised as missionaries. Scholars’ German geologists worked at the junction of Sichuan-Yunnan and Guizhou-Yunnan, and found that there were huge amounts of iron ore and coal mines underground in these two places. These two groups of German geologists returned to China to report impatiently. At that time Germany is the German Empire. Kaiser Wilhelm II was very interested in this and planned to obtain the control rights and resource exploitation rights of these two places. The 'good thing' was told to other big powers, so these two exploration reports were kept as high-level secrets for a long time. With the outbreak of the last world war, the German Empire collapsed, and this incident was also forgotten. Until now, Hitler After rebuilding Germany, these two exploration reports were found in the archives.

Father, didn't I tell Hitler the top-secret information about the oil fields in the Middle East?

But unfortunately, those two exploration reports were severely damaged due to water ingress in the archives room, and the paper was soaked in water. Most of the writing on the reports has been blurred. A large amount of iron ore and coal mines, the specific location, etc., need to be re-explored by our prospectors!" Jiang Weiguo thought to himself while saying this set of nonsense: "Damn it!I'm almost becoming a story king!Making up stories every day is fucking tiring! "He felt like a playboy with one foot on n boats, he would say different nonsense to different girlfriends, and he was on the verge of schizophrenia.

Chiang Kai-shek's eyes were shining, and he was elated and ecstatic. Of course, he knew very well what it meant to discover such two super-large iron mines and super-large coal mines.

"Wei'er..." Chiang Kai-shek's voice trembled slightly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
