Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Yu Bing was a little unhappy that he didn't get the manager's position. He rolled his eyes and said,

"How about I become a deputy manager?"

Hu Zhenhua had to admit that Yu Bing was indeed suitable for charging into battle. His biggest characteristic was his recklessness.

"That's exactly what I wanted. You happen to be in charge of the food group, so your expertise is perfectly suited for you. I have a task for you: develop a batch of individual rations for the security team!"

Yu Bing opened his mouth. Why did Huazi say that he wanted me to be responsible for logistics?

He thought for a while and said,

"Chairman, can you let me go on the mission?"

"Are your hands itchy?"

Yu Bing chuckled, scratched his head, and felt a little embarrassed.

"I've been staying at Chinachem all day, and my bones are almost rusted. I want to go out and move around!"

The fastest way to learn how to swim is to throw yourself into the water.

Hu Zhenhua thought about it and decided that training alone would be of little use. He still needed to gain experience through actual combat.

He walked to the map hanging on the wall, pointed to an alluvial island and said,

"Now, there is actually a mission!"

Four people gathered around and stared at the map. The location Hu Zhenhua pointed to was Chongming County.

At this time, Chongming County was simply a concentration camp for disorderly soldiers.

After the Huaihai Campaign ended, Ding Zhipan, the former governor of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, fled to Chongming with the county heads of 61 counties and the provincial security team. At its peak, its troops reached 4.

Ding Zhipan assembled the defeated troops on the island into the "Provisional First Army" and appointed himself its commander. In addition, the KMT Jiangsu Provincial Government, the Pacification Headquarters, and the Security Headquarters were also stationed on the island.

All in all, if you count those carrying guns, the total number of soldiers on the island exceeds 2!

There are only 12 households on the island, which is simply unable to support so many institutions and personnel.

As a result, Chongming's economy almost collapsed, supplies were in short supply, and the rebel soldiers were looting food and property everywhere, causing the people to live in poverty and suffer.

Wang Zhi seemed to see Hu Zhenhua's intention and asked,

"Chairman, do you want us to scout out suitable locations for building factories and collecting refugees?"

Hearing this, Yu Bing's face showed a strange look. He pulled Hu Zhenhua aside and reminded him in a low voice,

"Hua Zi, you can't transport the food to the Magic City!"

"why?"

Yu Bing glanced warily at Wang Zhi and the other two who were a few meters away, lowered his voice,

"you forgot?"

"Forgot something?"

Yu Bing's face flushed red, he hesitated for a while and said,

"A month ago, the bureau issued an order to collect grain, and we went to the Xinfeng Grain Shop to carry it out..."

Hu Zhenhua tilted his head and thought for a while, but he had no impression at all!

"I don't remember clearly, please tell me in detail!"

Yu Bing sighed.

"What a sin! Who the hell could have imagined that such a rubbish would actually happen to us..."

A month ago, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics went to Xinfeng Grain Shop to purchase grain. They bought 400 dan of rice according to the market price at that time, and the two parties signed a contract.

This was originally a fair transaction, but the Secret Service played a trick. The grain was taken away, but the payment was delayed for more than a month.

During this period, the gold yuan depreciated by 70%.

In other words, the Bureau of Secrets purchased food at a 3% discount.

Up to now, it is still unclear whether the money has been paid.

Similar things happen almost every moment.

Through this method, the national government plundered countless wealth from the people.

Yu Bing lit a cigarette, feeling worried.

"Hua Zi, this is still good. At least there is a contract. If you encounter unreasonable people, we can just forcibly requisition them in the name of suppressing rebellion. You won't even have a place to cry!"

Hu Zhenhua's brain froze. Am I involved in this mess?

When Guo Dachong and Zhao Zhi invested, one put out more than 20,000 yuan and the other put out more than 10,000 yuan.

This money?

Hu Zhenhua shuddered.

If the superiors like something, the subordinates will inevitably follow suit! If the officials are corrupt, the subordinates will inevitably follow suit.

Guo Dachong, Zhao Zhi, and the lowly Xiao Kara from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics were able to amass such wealth. The level of corruption among the upper echelons is unimaginable!

"Hua Zi!"

Yu Bing's call brought Hu Zhenhua back to reality.

Yu Bing handed over a cigarette and continued to persuade him,

"Huazi, making a little money is easy! We have to fight against the heavens, the earth, and people. With today's rumors of 'running away', we must have offended all the big and small forces in the Magic City. We don't know how they will retaliate!"

Hu Zhenhua blew out a smoke ring and said with a smile,

"If you don't attract envy, you're a mediocre person. As the saying goes, too much debt doesn't worry you; too many lice don't itch. Don't worry, we'll catch them all when they jump out!"

Yu Bing was so angry that he laughed.

"Catch them all in one fell swoop? What are you going to use to hit them? Aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue away?"

Hu Zhenhua did not argue with him and said with a smile,

"Just wait and see the good show!"

Old Hu waved his hand, called Wang Zhi and the others over, and asked,

"Do you think the plan just now is feasible?"

Wang Zhi seemed to have a plan in mind and answered immediately.

"At first glance, it seems impossible, but after careful consideration, I think it is feasible!"

Yu Bing snorted coldly.

"The soldiers on the island are so hungry that their eyes are green with hunger. Once they see the food, they will pounce on it like wolves!"

“That’s why they protect the source of their food!”

Hu Zhenhua nodded, and the person who gave Hu the advice said the same thing.

Great minds think alike!

If Hu Zhenhua had any concerns before, now he has made up his mind to build factories, lay runways and take in refugees in Chongming!

Among them, building a backup runway is the top priority.

Future Airlines has been established, and Atlanta has gone to Nanjing to apply for air routes. Hu Zhenhua is not worried at all that the Nationalist government will not approve it, because once the war breaks out again, the Nationalist government will have to ask Future Airlines for help.

When the time comes, they will offer the route with both hands.

The C47 transport aircraft does not have high requirements for the runway and can take off and land forcefully on sandy and gravel ground.

It only takes a few days to level and compact the ground!

Yu Bing was obviously convinced and kept silent.

Hu Zhenhua's mood improved, and he made the final decision.

"Wang Zhi, you must immediately dispatch personnel to Chongming County for reconnaissance. I demand that you clarify the situation in Chongming within a day. This is your first mission. Do you have the confidence?"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"Okay! Time is running out, go make the arrangements!"

"Yes!"
