Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

Chapter 419 Li Mingqiang’s sigh and the debate in the temporary capital!

Li Mingqiang didn't expect that Chu Feng didn't do anything else, but just gave money directly.

But after thinking carefully about the idea given by Chu Feng, he had to admit that paying money directly without any tricks was definitely the fastest way to see results. It was obvious to people at a glance and they could feel the sincerity without having to think too much.

"Commander-in-Chief, you are simply a genius!"

Li Mingqiang looked at Chu Feng with admiration, and there was also a touch of admiration in his eyes: "Giving money directly is definitely the best method, because it is too difficult to set and convert prices for supplies or weapons and equipment."

"But giving money directly is very intuitive. You can hold the money in your hands, and it's cash on delivery, so there's no default. This gives everyone a sense of security, and it will definitely increase the enthusiasm of all forces."

"Furthermore, we can also use this method to increase the holdings of Saibei currency in the hands of major forces."

"Compared to the depreciation of legal tender, and as the largest supplier of weapons and equipment in China, there are foreigners who do not accept legal tender."

"When trading with us and foreigners, they either use Saibei currency or foreign currency and precious metals like gold and silver."

"Compared to precious metals like gold and silver, Saibei currency is more convenient. The more Saibei currency they hold, the closer their economic exchanges with us will be."

"If they buy weapons and equipment now, we will produce more light industrial products in the future. They will also have demand for them, and they will naturally spend a lot of Saibei currency to trade with us, which will boost Saibei currency exports and the economy."

"By then, the economy would be better, tax revenue would be higher, and there would be a market for goods from the Saibei border region. Wouldn't the economy be revitalized and develop even better?"

"When the legal tender depreciates more and more, our Saibei currency can replace the legal tender. Not only can it be used to purchase supplies, but it can also be used to pay soldiers. Ordinary people will also recognize the Saibei currency."

"Right now, we are in the process of laying the foundation and developing the market in the northern border area. When our factories start large-scale production, the market we develop and cultivate to digest these products will bring us a steady stream of orders and cash flow.

"We'll use the opportunity of kidnapping people to spread Saibei currency, and then establish some trading companies and banks, forming a perfect closed loop of spreading currency, trading, recycling, and spreading currency again. The Saibei border area will make a lot of money!"

Seeing that Li Mingqiang understood his idea, Chu Feng smiled and said, "Old Li, there are 400 million people in China. This is a huge market."

"We need such a large market to ensure that our factory can create a lot of economic benefits so as to expand and upgrade its technology."

"At the same time, in order to expand this large market, we must protect these consumers and allow them to make money, rather than draining the pond to catch fish."

"The cause we need to undertake is great and bright. One day, when we have successfully managed this vast domestic market and everyone is able and willing to consume, it will mean that we have accomplished our mission, and China will have grown into a global military and economic power."

Under Chu Feng's instigation, Li Mingqiang seemed to imagine what China would be like at the moment of success.

He couldn't help but murmur, "I really look forward to this day coming soon. I can't imagine how wonderful China will be at that time."

"Those who sacrificed their lives to save the country can now rest in peace."

While Chu Feng and Li Mingqiang were chatting, Minister Yang, who had returned to the base, immediately reported the specific situation in detail.

Temporary capital!

When the National Government received Minister Yang's telegram, he immediately summoned his confidants to discuss it.

"Minister Yang's telegram said that Chu Feng did not block or make excuses for our request. He said that as long as we have the funds, we can purchase weapons, equipment, and machinery."

"They don't care at all that our improvement of industrial strength and production of weapons and equipment will affect their status."

Hearing the government's words, some people in the industrial sector showed excitement on their faces.

China's industries were originally concentrated in coastal areas, and its industrial manufacturing capabilities, which were not very strong to begin with, were completely destroyed.

The equipment transferred from the southwest region can only maintain the production of some weapons and equipment, and even the Nationalist army itself cannot fully supply them.

This is why they wanted to buy mechanical equipment from Chu Feng. Everyone was a little nervous at first, but they didn't expect Chu Feng to be so easy to talk to.

Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Guo Fu also smiled slightly and said, "I am still very satisfied with this."

"This shows that although Chu Feng is at odds with our government, he knows that we are all Chinese and we are all fighting against the Japanese."

After hearing what the government said, everyone present showed no reaction on the surface, but they all started rolling their eyes in their hearts.

"Chu Feng is so easy to talk to. He is willing to sell everything for the sake of the war. Look at what you have done!"

Comparing people will lead to death, and comparing goods will lead to throwing them away!

Naturally, these complaints cannot be expressed out loud, and everyone still has to give the government some face.

The government was very happy now, and unaware of everyone's complaints, he continued, "Now, let's discuss the issue of the Yumen Oilfield."

"Originally, we wanted to use the Yumen Oilfield to exchange for funds to purchase machinery and equipment."

"Now, among the three conditions we proposed, Chu Feng is unwilling to accept the first and second conditions and is willing to choose the third one. We don't want to choose the first and third conditions."

"Minister Yang has also tried it, and Chu Feng is very determined not to choose the second one. Now it's our turn to decide whether to choose the first or the third one."

"Choose the first one. How much should we sell it for? Will Chu Feng agree to the price we propose? And will he make any harsh demands that would embarrass us?"

"It's better to just choose the third option, keep all the profits in your own hands, and use the mined oil to repay Chu Feng's funds." After saying that, Guo Fu looked at everyone present.

After hearing what the government said, everyone fell silent.

Because no matter whether it is the first or the third, no one wants to choose, but now they have to choose.

"I think we can choose the first one!"

An industrial professional said, "Although petrochemicals should be under our control, this is a huge sum of money."

"After the oil is mined, we have to pay Chu Feng back. For several years, or even more than ten years, the oil will be directly supplied to Chu Feng, and very little will fall into our hands."

"We don't know how long the War of Resistance Against Japan will last, but what we need is funds to improve our military manufacturing industry and strengthen the combat effectiveness of our troops."

"China is a vast country with abundant resources. Besides the Yumen Oilfield, there are other oilfields for exploitation. Aren't we looking for oilfields in Sichuan Province?"

"So for an oil field whose economic benefits can only be seen after more than ten years, it is better to give it directly to Chu Feng in exchange for our tangible benefits now."
