Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 353: Plan to open
In order to save the precarious situation, Jiang Zhongzheng made the most correct decision he thought was the most correct decision, to spare all his face, and to keep his thighs. , He sent a secret telegram to Kong Xiangxi. The telegram pointed out that as long as it does not involve the authority of the government leader, all the requirements of the Germans can be met. No matter what the cost, the German allies must be satisfied and satisfied. The government reached this series of agreements.
Actually, without Jiang Zhongzheng’s instructions, Kong Xiangxi had already done this in Indochina. The finance minister revealed almost all the secrets he knew to the Germans, and now Brumberg’s special mission has mastered it. All the hole cards of the government. It's not that Kong has no national and personality. It is true that if the border blockade continues, the Kong family's industry will not be able to sustain even no matter how big a business is.
The strength of the Kong family at this time has not yet reached the peak in history. His family’s real prosperity depends on the country’s financial crisis. After the coastal areas were blocked, the import and export commodity trade maintained through the Southwest Passage allowed him to make money in the future. The Confucian family, who mastered government resources, was completely invincible in the business war.
The joint blockade launched by the United Kingdom and France was indeed a heavy blow to the Kong family. Although it was less than a fatal blow, once the time passed, it would really hurt the family. The foundation of industry.
Because I am doing a foreign trade business, most of the payment for these goods has been settled. The problem is that it has nothing to do with the supplier in the transportation link, so even if the goods are not received, the recipient must pay The balance is paid. The goods that are now backlogged in the port warehouse are equivalent to squeezing the next pile of real money. In less than a week, the Kong family's industry had begun to show signs of poor turnover.
Britain, France and Germany have made it clear that they are suppressing the two subsidiaries of Kong and Song. Partners in Europe and the United States have learned about the situation. Many companies bluntly say that if the situation is not improved, the previous contract can only be voided. They The three top powers will not be offended for some small commercial profits.
As a result, domestic companies that have other trade channels are afraid to have any relationship with the Kong family, for fear of being misunderstood by the Germans and being included in the list of trade blockades. That would be really wrong. Extremely.
Now the shops of the Kong's subordinate companies can only rely on the previous inventory support, and it will not last long. When the subsequent supply is cut off, a bunch of trading companies of the Kong family can only be closed down.
Another headache happened immediately afterwards. Some downstream sellers could not get the scheduled goods and began to demand a deposit from themselves. Although the Confucian family is strong, the other party is not a civilian without background. If you do not have a little background in the import and export business in the Kuomintang Control Area, the other party’s network covers both military and political circles, backed by several national gods, even if they are as powerful as the Song family sisters, they dare not easily turn their faces.
There is more to Kong Xiangxi’s annoyance. His accounts in major European banks have been frozen by the government, and some of them are secret accounts opened with false identities. If this is not a ghost in the house, then just It can be said that the Germans really have hands and eyes like the rumors. At this time, he can use, except for the domestic bank’s daily depreciation of fiat currencies, only a few funds deposited in U.S. banks are left. The problem is that most of this money is used by the government to purchase foreign aid. Because his business misappropriated the funds, Jiang Zhongzheng would never give him any face.
Kong Xiangxi was firmly pinched by the Germans and had to bow his head to reality. If it hadn't taken into account that some bottom lines were absolutely inaccessible, and he was afraid of being accused by the people, he would have surrendered to the Germans. Afterwards, some experts and scholars also commented that although Kong Xiangxi was a little servile in this incident, he finally retained the conscience of some government officials, and he was still very ethical on key issues and did not sell the country to the Germans. Dignity and sovereignty.
Actually, the Germans have no interest in the sovereignty, dignity, territories, and so on of the government at this time. They have no idea of intervening in this quagmire. Germany still has a lot of troubles to solve in Europe and Africa.
Speaking specifically about the issue of labor export, Kong Xiangxi said that all the needs of Germany will be followed, and the government will go all out to select the most qualified labor to participate in the construction of Europe. The unemployed population remains high in the government-ruled area. On weekdays, only part of it can be digested with work-for-work relief. However, there are still a large number of refugees waiting for government relief. Once the people are informed of this way of life, they don’t know that How many people would break their brains in order to grab a spot.
Speaking of which, the National Government at that time was completely a tragedy, and their rule could not reach the grassroots. It can be said that the country in the eyes of the high-level government and the country in the eyes of the grassroots people are completely the world in two concepts.
The central government's control over the country is limited to the county and city level. The power only involves the appointment and removal of officials, and even the appointment and removal of officials in some areas cannot be controlled by the central government. The so-called party headquarters in various places are completely useless and completely unable to guide the people's thinking. The government’s redundant officials are serious, and there are more than 3,000 civil servants in a small county government. But only 5% of them are members of the Kuomintang.
Jiang Zhongzheng knew the existence of these problems very early. In fact, the KMT organization was weakened to this point, all because of his deliberate promotion. Because the leadership of the Kuomintang has been uncertain in the early days, it will often fall into the hands of his opposition, and there are still a group of veterans who are dissatisfied with him. With Jiang Zhongzheng’s character, how could he tolerate the development of an organization threatening his rule, so when he came to power, he would often look for opportunities to deliberately suppress the KMT’s power in the government, and he even used the reason for the separation of party and government , Completely separate the KMT’s party affairs organization from the state power.
At that time, the local party headquarters of the Kuomintang did not have any actual leadership, and the salary of the party leader was not as good as that of a postman. Before the Chinese Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Kuomintang’s grassroots organizations almost existed in name, the lower-level system was completely disintegrated, and the party personnel It is even more dazed and unbearable.
After the war of resistance broke out in an all-round way and truly secured the throne as the leader of the country, he began to pay attention to party affairs, vigorously develop the KMT's grassroots organizations, and fully expand party members. But at this time the Kuomintang has been out of the grassroots for too long, plus the impact of the war, all efforts have only been exchanged for a bunch of useless party members. The original local officials only changed their status and became members of the Kuomintang, but the original basic structure has not been changed in the slightest.
The national government has extremely low control over localities, and because of this, they created a "miracle" in World War II. Among all the countries participating in World War II, only China did not activate the rationing system for citizens during the war. The main reason is that the government seriously lacks control over the grassroots and cannot build a complete rationing system. Whether it is the collection, storage, transportation, and distribution of materials, this requires a government with a high degree of organization and control capabilities to complete, but for the Chinese government at that time, this was simply a pipe dream.
"We cannot guarantee that everyone will get the same supplies. Because of this war, many people have been displaced, and many local governments are unwilling to provide food to refugees because they don’t have enough food." Kong Xiangxi picked it up. The small silver spoon dug a spoonful of pudding and put it in his mouth.
"This is indeed a problem, Mr. Minister, how much labor can you provide at the moment." Blumberg put down his coffee cup.
"We are already starting to count. It will take some time. According to my estimation, there is no problem with recruiting 100,000 people in the first month." Kong Xiangxi replied.
"I heard the news in the Governor’s Mansion just now that the smuggling clearance operations at the border will end this weekend. The companies suspected of smuggling will need to pay taxes and fines, as well as the cost of material storage during this period. If the money is paid, the seized goods can be returned immediately." Dr. Pan Ke stirred the tea spoon and said to Kong Xiangxi with a smile.
"This is really great news. Thank you very much for telling me, Doctor." Kong Xiangxi took a deep breath. He made a long-distance call with the family member before, and Miss Song's murderous aura came through the microphone. Can feel it.
"Mr. Kong, when will your evaluation team arrive?" Colonel Davidson asked.
"The telegram said it was tomorrow, and there should be no change."
"We are ready to know that it is not an easy job to gather so many equipment~ IndoMTL.com~ Besides, we have to arrange personnel for demonstration operations." Davidson stretched out his finger and brushed it off. The soot on the hem of the uniform. The Chinese side is going to send a weapons evaluation team to evaluate the weapons within the scope of this transaction. To put it bluntly, it is here to inspect the goods, and by the way, travel on public funds to eat and drink.
"Thank you very much, Colonel, we will give all people involved in the work a compensation." Kong Xiangxi just received the news that he had been looking forward to, and his mood became particularly comfortable.
"Sir." Lieutenant Colonel Roch walked into the small garden with a folder.
"This is just received." Roch nodded to Blumberg, then handed the folder to the marshal.
"Sent from Berlin." Blumberg opened the folder and looked at the message's head. He raised his head and glanced at his colleagues around him.
"Sorry, Mr. Minister, let me be out of company." The field marshal picked up the folder and left his seat, walked to the corner of the pergola and began to read the telegram carefully. Davidson and Roch hurriedly followed and stood by him.
"It should be the head of state's reply." Dr. Pan Ke said to Kong Xiangxi, whose expression became nervous.
The Minister of Finance of the National Government did not feel the slightest relaxation. He carefully observed the changes on Blumberg's face. Brumberg quickly finished reading the telegram, handed the folder to Davidson, and then whispered a few words to Roch before turning around and walking towards Kong Xiangxi.
"Congratulations, Mr. Minister, the head of state has accepted the apology from the chairman of your country, and the special envoy will rush to Chongqing in three days." Blumberg said to Kong Xiangxi with a smile.
