When they formally walked to the gate of Fenghao House, Chiang Kai-shek’s chief guard, head of the secret service team, Jiang Jingguo and Jiang Weiguo’s cousin Wang Shihe held out his hand to Jiang Weiguo and Yang Mei with an expressionless poker face. Hand over the guns on your body before you can enter. In fact, at this time, the Jiang family is "three steps, one post, five steps, one sentry", and the entire Xikou Town is also full of elite soldiers. After all, Chiang Kai-shek has just suffered a big loss in Xi'an. It was he himself or Wang Shihe who raised the importance of safety work to an unprecedented level.
When Jiang Weiguo entered the front hall with Jiang Jingguo and Fenner, who specially put on a Chinese cheongsam and hugged Ellen, Jiang Jingguo's face turned pale. Seeing his father Jiang's face as frosty, majestic, and unsmiling, sitting on the grand teacher's chair in the middle of the front hall, two cold lights shot out from his eyes, and his whole person exuded an aura of indifference. There were 30 people, half of them were Mao Qingxiang, Chen Bulei and other high-level officials of the Kuomintang or the National Government, and half were the elders of Jiang's family and the social leaders of Xikou Town.
After seeing Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching-kuo's face was as white as paper, his legs became weak, and he froze in place for a while, at a loss. He hadn't seen Chiang Kai-shek for many years, and Chiang Kai-shek's face was cold, which naturally made him feel strange and intimidated.
"Brother!" Jiang Weiguo hurriedly winked at Jiang Jingguo, "Come on!"
Chiang Ching-kuo came back to his senses immediately, threw himself on the ground, knelt at Chiang Kai-shek's feet, kowtowed several times to Chiang Kai-shek, and hissed with tears at the same time: "Father, your unfilial son Chiang Ching-kuo is back!" According to Jiang Weiguo's "prior teaching", he hugged Chiang Kai-shek's legs, wept bitterly, and kept calling "Father" in his mouth.
Although Jiang Weiguo asked Jiang Jingguo to "act", Jiang Jingguo did not act. He was really showing his true feelings and was crying.
Jiang Weiguo looked at this scene: "Damn it, if only I could cry so sad in Xi'an back then!"
Sure enough, seeing Chiang Ching-kuo crying with snot and tears, the frost and indifference on Chiang Kai-shek's face melted away, and his eyes softened at the same time, but his mouth was still very firm: "Huh! You still know that you are Unfilial son? When you were in the Soviet Union, what did you call me! What are you doing here? I will arrange for you to go to Yan'an right away! It suits you there!"
"Father!" Jiang Weiguo hurriedly interceded, "Brother, he was under the eaves at the time! That's why he couldn't help himself, couldn't help himself, how could he really scold you! Those articles or something, the Soviet authorities forced him Either it was written by the Soviet authorities who used his name to impersonate him!"
"Chairman, the second son is right. The eldest son had no choice but to be forced!" "If the eldest son didn't make gestures at that time, what good fruit would he have? Maybe he died in the Soviet Union! "The eldest son must have suffered a lot during the years in the Soviet Union!" The high-level officials at the scene, the elders of Chiang's parents, and the social sages "interceded" to Chiang Ching-kuo, but in fact they were giving Chiang Kai-shek a step down.
Chiang Kai-shek pulled a face, helped Chiang Ching-kuo up, then looked up and down at his eldest son, whom he hadn't seen for 11 and a half years, and finally sighed: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, I almost don't recognize you, let's go I was only 15 years old, and I grew up..."
"Father!" Jiang Jingguo threw himself into Chiang Kai-shek's arms, weeping more and more, then remembered something, and hurriedly greeted Fenna who was still standing at the door, "Fenna, come and see father!"
A little at a loss, Fenna stepped forward in anxiety, knelt down and kowtowed to Chiang Kai-shek, and called Chiang Kai-shek in vague Chinese: "Father, hello..."
Chiang Kai-shek nodded gently, "Get up, get up!"
Jiang Weiguo smiled and said to Yangmei beside him: "Let's go up and kowtow too? I pay my respects to my father, and you to my father-in-law!"
Yang Mei gave a soft "tss": "Is it my turn? It should be Miss Shi Si or Miss Cai who will kowtow to the chairman with you!"
Jiang Weiguo took Yang Mei's hand, and said seriously: "What's your turn? It's you!"
Yang Mei blushed slightly.
"Go and see your mother!" Chiang Kai-shek stroked Jiang Jingguo, looking very sad, "She hasn't seen you for more than ten years, and she misses you so much!"
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Jingguo stood up while wiping away his tears, and then took Fenner to the back hall to meet his birth mother, Mrs. Mao, who had been waiting for a long time and was flustered. Soon, Jiang Jingguo came from the back hall. There was a heart-piercing cry, interspersed with the cries of several women.
Jiang Weiguo leaned over to have a look, and saw Jiang Jingguo kowtowed to Mrs. Mao and burst into tears. Mrs. Mao hugged her son tremblingly with grief and joy, and then hugged Fenna, stroking her son, daughter-in-law and grandson.
Jiang Weiguo didn't join in the fun. In fact, Mrs. Mao didn't like Jiang Weiguo very much.
Madam Mao was Chiang Kai-shek's first wife, and Chiang Kai-shek's second wife was Madam Yao. Madam Yao had no children, and she had raised Jiang Weiguo for a long time. They are not mothers and sons are better than mothers and sons. Naturally, in the eyes of others, Jiang Weiguo is equivalent to Madam Yao's children Madam Mao once called Mrs. Yao "a vixen from Shanghai". Madam Mao naturally did not like Jiang Weiguo, a child who was not born to her but was also a "vixen". She was neglected, and she didn't pay attention to her illness, and she almost died of a serious illness.
"Wei'er..." Chiang Kai-shek tried to recover his emotions and called out to Jiang Weiguo.
Chiang Kai-shek was in a very excited mood today. The eldest son finally reunited with him after more than ten years of absence, while the younger son wandered around the ghost gate. Both sons came back at once, so he had to be excited.
"Father!" Jiang Weiguo hurried forward with an expression of a good son.
"Heal?" Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo with a smile on his face.
"Thank you father for your concern, he has recovered!" Jiang Weiguo said with a smile, "I will be able to serve the country with my elder brother immediately, and help my father to share your worries!"
Chiang Kai-shek laughed dumbly: "Don't be like a desperate Saburo, you are still young, don't worry, take your time!"
Jiang Weiguo smiled, and said in his heart: "Can you not be in a hurry? In three full months, the Japanese will invade China in an all-round way!"
Because of this, the entire Chiang family gathered together (actually, the real hostess of the Chiang family at this time was Song Meiling, and Mrs. Mao had already terminated the husband and wife relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek still regarded Mrs. Mao as his original partner, and the outside world also recognized Mrs. Mao’s old husband Soong Meiling acquiesced to this), that night, the Jiang family had a lively reunion dinner.
The Fenghao Room is decorated with lights and streamers, and there are many guests.
On the main table in the main hall, Chiang Kai-shek sat at the head of the table, and on the left sat Mrs. Mao, who was smiling, and beside Mrs. Mao were Jiang Jingguo, Fenner, and Ellen in the arms of Fenner. , eldest brother-in-law Song Zhouyun, fourth younger sister Jiang Ruilian, fourth younger brother-in-law Zhu Zhishan, Jiang Weiguo sat opposite Chiang Kai-shek.
Before the banquet, Jiang Weiguo found Yangmei who was standing in a daze in the yard: "Come!"
Yang Mei was taken aback: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Weiguo was puzzled: "Have dinner!"
Yang Mei waved her hands nervously: "No, no, how can I... How can I be seated?"
Jiang Weiguo laughed: "Why not?" He took Yang Mei's hand, "You are my future wife, the future second daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, what are you afraid of?" He nodded his head, not daring to look at Chiang Kai-shek opposite him.
"Jianhao!" Jiang Ruichun looked at Jiang Weiguo with a smile during the dinner, "Jianfeng came back from the Soviet Union and brought back his daughter-in-law and son. How about you? You have to hurry up!"
Jiang Ruilian looked at Yang Mei and praised Yang Mei, "Jianhao, this girl is so pretty, and she's a soldier just like you!"
Of course, the Chiang family is the No. 1 family in China at this time, but Chiang Kai-shek and other elders did not deliberately ask for the marriage of Chiang Ching-kuo and Chiang Wei-guo to be of the same family. The eldest daughter-in-law, Fenna, is an ordinary Russian woman, and an orphan with no power, and Yang Mei is also an orphan.
Jiang Weiguo laughed, and thought to himself: "It turns out that the custom of seven aunts and eight aunts who like to ask juniors about such things is not unique to later generations. Hurry up, I have two fucking sons and one daughter! Although those three This baby has nothing to do with me!"
Chiang Kai-shek looked at Yang Mei, of course he knew about Jiang Weiguo's absurdity of "fucking with women", but he didn't say anything. After all, there were so many people at the scene, and he loved Jiang Weiguo very much, so he naturally turned a blind eye to Jiang Weiguo's "shortcomings" In addition, Chiang Kai-shek was in a very good mood today, and even gave Fenner the Chinese name "Jiang Fangliang (Jiang Fangniang)" and Ellen "Jiang Xiaowen".
Jiang Weiguo then stayed in Xikou Town for a few days. On the third day, the Jiang family held a happy event. It was a Chinese-style wedding for Jiang Jingguo and Jiang Fangliang. The status of "eldest daughter-in-law" is three to make Mrs. Mao happy, fulfilling her wish to see her only son officially get married (Jiang Jingguo and Jiang Fangliang's Soviet wedding was held at the Ural Machinery Factory), and four to conform to the local customs of Fenghua County.
Although Jiang Weiguo was very anxious to do "national affairs", he didn't care to stay for a few more days to join in the fun and give his elder brother a personal appearance, and he and Yang Mei were firmly asked by Jiang Jingguo to be the best man and bridesmaid.
On this day, Fenghao House and the whole Xikou Town were in a bustling atmosphere. The whole town was brightly lit and full of voices. The congratulatory gifts from high-ranking officials piled up into hills. Jiang Weiguo also sent a pair of red jade mandarin ducks to his brother and sister-in-law in the name of himself and Yang Mei. The colorful skirt with phoenix crown, red jacket with xiapei, peach blossom face, shy and shy, won rounds of applause.
"In fact, our traditional Chinese wedding is very good! How festive!" Jiang Weiguo sighed, "I really don't know why young people today (what he wants to say is later generations) learn to wear white wedding dresses like foreigners! Don't they know how to wear white wedding dresses? Is the clothes a death in the family?" He sighed again and again, and then said to Yang Mei, "Shall we hold a traditional wedding like this in the future?"
Yang Mei's face turned red again: "Let's talk about it later!"
Jiang Weiguo nodded: "It's true, we are both soldiers, who knows if we can survive the war that will break out next!"
When Chiang Ching-kuo and Jiang Fangliang held a make-up wedding, the Chiang family took a family portrait, which was a family portrait of Chiang Kai-shek's family.
In the photo, Chiang Kai-shek is sitting on the grand teacher's chair, with a face full of sternness and smile, but the gentle smile cannot be concealed by his serious expression. Madam Mao is sitting next to Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Ching-kuo and Jiang Fangliang are standing behind Madam Mao. Holding Jiang Xiaowen, Jiang Weiguo stood behind Chiang Kai-shek, holding Yangmei who was pulled over by him. Jiang Weiguo was careless, but Yangmei looked very nervous.
After Chiang Ching-kuo's wedding was completed, Jiang Weiguo immediately went to Chiang Kai-shek: "Father, since the elder brother is back, I hope you can arrange a job for him so that he can serve the country, and I also hope to get the help of the elder brother, and at the same time, I can hone my skills." Brother, let him accumulate experience and become a pillar of the country as soon as possible!"
Chiang Kai-shek shook his head: "He will live in Xikou Town from now on, at least two years!"
"Ah? Why?" Jiang Weiguo was baffled.
Chiang Kai-shek let out a long sigh: "Sending your elder brother to study in the Soviet Union is one of the few things I regret the most.
The Soviet Union is the home of the Communist Party. Your eldest brother has been in the Soviet Union for 11 and a half years, and his mind has long been filled with red thoughts!I plan to let him clean his heart and brainwash well in his hometown in Xikou Town, and learn a lot about our country's traditional ethics and founding spirit.
You give these books to him for me, and tell him that he must read them carefully, and each page must have comments and reading experience!" He pointed to a stack of books on the table beside him.
Jiang Weiguo took a look, and found that those books were "Letters from Mr. Zeng Wenzheng's Family", "The Complete Works of Wang Yangming", "Sun Wenshuo", "Outline of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", "Strategy of the Founding of the Country" and so on.
Jiang Weiguo was very speechless: "Father, practice is the most important thing! You are bored at home studying, how do you know the real suffering of the people? I did not ask you to arrange the elder brother to the central government. What I mean is, father, you put the elder brother Wouldn’t it be twice the result with half the effort to be sent to the local area as a little parent official to “clean the heart and brainwash” while reading books and gain a deep understanding of the reality of the sufferings of ordinary people in our country? Mencius also said that “it is better to have no books than to believe in books”, and to grasp both theory and practice, so that we can Do both!"
Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while: "Wei'er, what you said makes sense, don't you already have a place that you think is suitable for your elder brother?"
Jiang Weiguo said with a smile: "Dayu County at the southwestern tip of Jiangxi Province is very important, with a population of [-].
Let the big brother manage 10 people first, not many, but not too many, it is very suitable for the big brother to hone himself.
The village head is too low, the town mayor is too low, the mayor is too high, and the county head is just right!"
Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, since you interceded for him, I will make an exception!"
Dayu County is located in the southwest of Jiangxi Province, close to Guangdong Province. The county has a total area of 1400 square kilometers and a total population of 10. It has 8 towns and more than 80 villages under its jurisdiction. 23% of the county is mountainous, and 59% is hilly. Plains and hills accounted for 18%.
On the surface, Dayu County is just a very ordinary place. In fact, this place is extraordinary. It is well-known as the "Tungsten Capital of China".
Tungsten ore is a very important industrial resource, and it is China's "exclusive advantage resource", because 70% of the world's tungsten ore is in China, and Jiangxi Province is China's largest tungsten ore province (Hunan Province tungsten ore reserves surpassed Jiangxi Province, but the quality of tungsten ore in Hunan Province is much lower than that in Jiangxi Province), among which Dayu County in Jiangxi Province is the leader in the province. 70% of the country's fine tungsten mines and 60% of the world's high-quality tungsten mines are produced in Dayu County; on the other hand , tungsten ore, tung oil, and pig bristles. These three commodities are the "three signature goods" of China's foreign export trade at this time. For example, Germany uses arms to buy tungsten ore, tung oil, and bristle mainly by "bartering" with China. .
The production areas of tung oil and bristles are relatively scattered, distributed in several provinces in Southwest China and Central China, while tungsten mines are relatively concentrated, which is very suitable for control.
Jiang Weiguo recommended to Chiang Kai-shek that Chiang Ching-kuo be the "county master" of Dayu County, hoping to control the tungsten mines in Dayu County and bring them under the management of the Overseas Department and the Ministry of Military Industry, so as to control this important source of foreign business and trade. , and also carry out larger-scale and regularized, standardized, and systematic development, and build Dayu County into a new tungsten mining industrial city in exchange for more banknotes and arms.
Jiang Weiguo was very "favored", so Chiang Kai-shek agreed to his request. One month later, Jiang Jingguo became the deputy magistrate of Dayu County.
Of course, although Jiang Jingguo is only the deputy county magistrate, he is actually no different from the county magistrate.
After the funeral and wedding, the Chiang family, which had been bustling for a while, began to be empty. Jiang Jingguo seized the time to accompany his mother, and at the same time was preparing to go to Dayu County to be the county magistrate. Chiang Kai-shek and Jiang Weiguo returned to Nanjing one after another. Both of them had a lot of things to do. waiting to be processed.
Chapter 104 Battle Preparation (1)
Chiang Kai-shek manages all kinds of opportunities every day, and Jiang Weiguo also takes care of all kinds of opportunities every day, because he knows that time is running out.
Jiang Weiguo first went back to the army and turned around. Of course, the troops needless to say. The 918th regiment can be called a fire, and the 128th regiment can be called a flower. Peak state; Jiang Weiguo is more concerned with the rear system that is the foundation of the War of Resistance than the army.
Nanjing, Fuzhou, Wuhan, Chongqing, and Jiang Weiguo took turns to inspect. The four major arsenals have been fully on the right track under the painstaking management of Yu Dawei, Zhu Jiahua and others (strictly speaking, China now has five major arsenals, and the fifth is Yan Xishan's) The Taiyuan Arsenal will be moved to Luoyang in the later period and become the Luoyang Arsenal, but the Arsenal is not under the direct jurisdiction of the National Government; in addition, among Jiang Weiguo's four major armories, the Nanjing Arsenal is an armory, and the Fuzhou, Wuhan, and Chongqing Arsenals are all managed by multiple arsenals. A systematic large-scale military industrial base established by the arsenal), the relocation, reorganization, and expansion of China's military industry have basically been completed.
Yu Dawei told Jiang Weiguo that according to the current scale of the four major arsenals, the four major arsenals are expected to be able to produce this year (1937):
各式步枪(以98k毛瑟步枪和中正式步枪为主,汉阳造已被淘汰和全面停产)20万支、各式手枪3000把、各式机枪2万挺、各式火炮(以迫击炮、战防炮、步兵炮为主)5000门;步机枪子弹3亿发、手榴弹800万枚、轻型炮弹200万发、重型炮弹10万发、地雷30万枚;黑色火药约200吨、无烟火药约10吨、黄色炸药(tnt)约500吨,其它武器弹药若干(这些产量数据是历史上八年抗战中中国本土军火产量在最高峰时的1.5倍左右)。
Yu Dawei also said that if all goes well, the scale of the military industry and the output of arms produced by the four major arsenals will increase by more than 1938% next year (50).
"Well done!" Jiang Weiguo nodded with joy. He spent so much money and so much energy, and it finally paid off.
Soldiers can kill the enemy and serve the country only with long tassels in their hands. The importance of the military industry is needless to say.
The returns Jiang Weiguo asked for from Hitler when he was on a mission to Germany have also begun to come true. After confirming that Kuwait and the Middle East have a large amount of oil, Hitler kept his word and rewarded Jiang Weiguo generously.
For conventional arsenals, Germany has provided full assistance to China. In addition, the Chongqing Military Industrial Base has established a gas bomb factory, an anti-virus equipment factory, and a car factory with the help of Germany. This Chongqing car factory is currently capable of producing 150 cars per month: 120 Zhongzheng brand trucks and 30 Meiling brand travel vehicles (these two cars are German Volkswagen brands, because the car production line is the original set of Volkswagen); when Jiang Weiguo went to Germany, Hitler promised to give 500 million US dollars immediately on the spot Cash, 5000 million US dollars in loans, 50 tanks, 50 aircraft, 3 submarines, submarine bases, torpedo boat factories, torpedo factories, mine factories, automobile factories, and instructors, consultants, The technicians are already in place, followed by Penicillin Research Institute (completed), Walkie-talkie Research Institute (completed), Middle East Oil (not completed, because Germany has not yet controlled the Middle East), $5 million loan (completed) Three batches provided 3 million U.S. dollars), 500 tanks (mostly in place), 1000 aircraft (mostly in place), 30 submarines (15 in place), tank factories (under construction), aircraft factories (under construction), etc.
After inspecting the military industrial base, Jiang Weiguo went to Liupanshui and Panzhihua.
Liupanshui Coal Company and Panzhihua Iron and Steel Company have been formally established and started construction. The production of coal mines and iron mines in the two places has started to be on the right track. With the help of Germany, Liupanshui has established a large-scale thermal power generation with an annual power generation capacity of 10 billion kwh. (The annual power generation in the Guannei area of China was about 1937 billion kWh in 30), and the Panzhihua area also established an iron and steel smelting plant with an annual production of 100 million tons of military steel with the help of Germany.
Both the power plant and the steel plant were important projects that Jiang Weiguo commissioned from Germany to aid China. Now they have become a reality. Hitler gave Jiang Weiguo 1000 million US dollars for the second time, which was used to build these two factories, build railways, and build bridges.
Liupanshui and Panzhihua, which were originally barren lands, both developed rapidly because of this, and the residents of these two new industrial towns were mostly Jewish.
Under Jiang Weiguo's plan, the Jews in China were basically settled in Liupanshui and Panzhihua, and all the Jews who came to China went to Liupanshui and Panzhihua.
By the first half of 1937, the number of Jews in Liupanshui and Panzhihua had reached 15, of which 5 were originally in China, and another 10 had immigrated to China from abroad, half from Germany and half from other countries .
At this time, Jiang Weiguo did not dare to transfer Jews from Germany on a large scale, lest it would anger Hitler and the German government.
Due to the "limited number of places", most of the Jews who came to China were elites.
After inspecting Liupanshui and Panzhihua, Jiang Weiguo went to Yumen Oil Mine.
Because of Jiang Weiguo's attention and banknote support, the Yumen Oil Mine has begun to produce oil. It is estimated that it will produce 1937 tons of oil in [-] and double it next year. Although it is small, it is also a good start.
In order to facilitate management, Jiang Weiguo then set up a "China Petroleum Company" with money. As usual, he was the chairman and Zhu Jiahua was the general manager.
