Amidst the melodious whistle, the Duke of Prussia slowly sailed out of Shanghai Port, left China, and headed for Germany.

Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Baili went overseas this time. Both of them shouldered the mission of the country. The missions of the two were different, but they all came to the same goal. They both served the upcoming Sino-Japanese war.

Jiang Weiguo's journey was not boring at all, he had a large group of people to accompany him, talking and laughing all day long.

The only one who didn’t talk much to Jiang Weiguo was Yangmei. Yangmei was taciturn and seldom talked. She didn’t want to chat with Jiang Weiguo at all.

"My original name was Yi Yun, but after the 'September [-]th Incident' I changed my name to Yi Shuihan!" Yi Shuihan sighed, his expression sad and lost.

"Are you from the Northeast?" Jiang Weiguo knew it in his heart.

Yi Shuihan nodded lightly: "Yes, I am from Shenyang, and I used to be a soldier of the Northeast Army's Niu Yuanfeng Division.

When the "September 30th Incident" broke out, the [-] Northeast Army retreated to the pass without firing a single shot, and handed over all the great rivers and mountains in the Northeast to the Japanese.

When passing the Yishui River, our troops received an order from the central government and were reorganized into the 109th Division, and we were transferred to Shaanxi to "suppress bandits".

I thought at the time, at the end of the Warring States period, Crown Prince Dan of Yan State sent Jing Ke to Qin State to assassinate King Qin by the Yishui River. Isn’t Qin State the present Shaanxi Province?And isn't the country of Yan part of our Northeast?How similar our route was to Jing Ke back then, we left our hometown, crossed Yishui, and never returned, so I changed my name to Yishuihan.

Later, in the battle of Zhiluo Town, our 109th Division was basically wiped out by the Red Army of the Communist Party of China. Niu Yuanfeng, the commander of the division, was defeated and committed suicide. A group of brothers and I fought our way through the dead and saved our lives. I don’t want to go back to the Northeast Army anymore, because I don’t want to participate in this kind of civil war between Chinese and Chinese, so I came to Nanjing and was admitted to the Central Army Officer Academy (Whampoa Military Academy)!” He said, sighing again, “ I really don’t know if I can return to the Northeast in this life and take another look at the black water and white mountains in my hometown!”

"Yes! I will definitely!" Jiang Weiguo comforted with a firm and sincere expression.

Yi Shuihan smiled: "I hope so!"

In his spare time on the ship, Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Baili discussed the international situation and the situation between China and Japan more. , Jiang Weiguo relied on cheating, and Jiang Baili relied on real talent and learning. Although Jiang Weiguo did not "spoiler" in many places, Jiang Baili was still amazed.

"Second son, if a full-scale war breaks out between China and Japan, with your background and ability, it is more than enough to serve as a senior member of the military and political department or the military committee!" Jiang Baili began to appreciate Jiang Weiguo. He didn't underestimate Jiang Weiguo, but he only regarded Jiang Weiguo as an ordinary second-generation official, but Jiang Weiguo's "strategic vision" was so long-term that he was very surprised and pleasantly surprised.

The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, affiliated to the Military Commission, is equivalent to the Ministry of National Defense of China at this time. It was reorganized into the Ministry of National Defense after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in history.

"Gao Can?" Jiang Weiguo smiled, "I'm not going to the rear to be a high-ranking Candidate, I'm going to the front! Personally command the troops to kill the enemy and serve the country!"

"Ambition!" Jiang Baili said with a smile, "Since ancient times, a hero has born a boy! The chairman is really lucky to have a son like you!"

"Second Young Master!" Sun Tao and others came over, "We will go to the battlefield with you then!"

"Okay!" Jiang Weiguo nodded with a smile, and then said, "Don't call me the second son in the future, it feels very awkward, and it seems to be born!"

"What do you call you?" Chen Ming asked worriedly, "Brother Wei?"

Jiang Weiguo suddenly broke out in a hot sweat: "Brother Wei (Viagra)? It's so ugly!"

In the evening four days later, the Duke of Prussia arrived in Singapore, the "Gibraltar of the East", the "Shanghai of Southeast Asia".

At this time, Singapore was not an independent country, but a part of the British colony of Malaya (Malaya is different from Malaysia in later generations. Malaysia in later generations is divided into two parts, one is the southern part of the Malayan Peninsula, and the other is the southern part of the Malayan Peninsula. It is the northern part of Kalimantan Island, and Malaya at this time is the southern part of the Malayan Peninsula).

The cargo ship entered the harbor of Singapore, rested overnight, and replenished fresh water fuel.

Sun Tao and others can't wait to go ashore to play, but Jiang Weiguo is not interested in playing: "Go and play by yourself! I have something to do!"

"Weiguo, where are you going?" Jiang Baili was surprised.

"Visiting an important person!" Jiang Weiguo said with a smile.

Jiang Baili and the others were at a loss.

With Dai Anguo, Jin Dingguo, Yang Mei, and Sun Tao, Jiang Weiguo went ashore non-stop. He was busy with travel and dust, and had no time to appreciate the prosperity and charm of this lion city. He drove directly to a building full of strong architectural styles in southeastern China on the outskirts of Singapore. house.

The seven of Sun Tao stayed outside the house, while Jiang Weiguo came in alone to visit.

"Mr. Jia, you are a leader of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, a senior businessman, and a veteran of the party and country who worked with the former Prime Minister. Weiguo specially came to pay a visit to you, and I hope you will give me advice!" I saw in a reception room in the inner courtyard. After the master of the house, Jiang Weiguo saluted the master respectfully.

Chapter 014 Going to Germany (4)

Sitting on the grand teacher's chair opposite Jiang Weiguo was an elder in his fifties who exuded a shrewd and vigorous aura. The well-known Nanyang patriotic overseas Chinese who firmly followed and supported Sun Yat-sen's Revolution of [-], the leader of the Malayan Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce, entrepreneur, educator, philanthropist, social activist, and Mr. Tan Kah Kee, who is known as the "Nanyang Rubber King" (Ten Kah Kee alias Tan Kah Kee , so outsiders respectfully call him "Gong Jia").

After hearing Jiang Weiguo's kind words, Mr. Chen smiled heartily and said, "Second Young Master is really flattering this old man! As a descendant of China and a descendant of Yan and Huang, this old man must do his best to revitalize the great cause of the motherland.

Let's not mention some old things in the past! He stared at Jiang Weiguo with piercing eyes, "Second son, as the second son of Chairman Jiang, why did he travel all the way to Singapore to find the old man?" "

"Mr. Jia, to be honest, Weiguo really needs your guidance and support on urgent matters!" Jiang Weiguo said truthfully.

"Second Young Master, just say it, as long as you can help, I will naturally not push you.

After all, I still have to give Chairman Jiang face!" Old Mr. Chen nodded and smiled.

Jiang Weiguo took out a letter from his body and handed it to Mr. Chen with both hands respectfully: "Mr. Jia, this is a letter written by my father to you. Please read it!"

"Oh? Chairman Jiang wrote me a letter in person?" Mr. Chen was suddenly surprised and surprised, and opened it to browse after receiving it.

Except for a few polite words at the beginning, the rest of the letter was straight to the point. After reading it, Mr. Chen closed his eyes and meditated slightly.

Jiang Weiguo said more politely and politely: "Mr. Jia, in front of your old man, I will not beat around the bush or say nonsense.

My father has already made it very clear in the letter, it is hard to say, the purpose of Weiguo's visit to your old man on behalf of my father today is to borrow money, not for money, but for borrowing money, not for me or for my father , It is borrowed for the national government and the country.

Mr. Jia, you are very clear about the situation in East Asia. China and Japan are already at war with each other, and the two countries are at war. It is estimated that the two countries will go to war within a year.

Weakness in the middle and strength in the future, the situation is very unfavorable to our country, and once the war breaks out, the League of Nations and the western powers will definitely either have a nest with the Japanese snake mouse or sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.However, since the Japanese want to invade our country, how can our Chinese soldiers run away?Even if you lose, you have to show your sword against the enemy!Fighting is definitely going to be fought. The 5000 million Chinese compatriots will be able to drive the Japanese invaders out of the country with one mind.

However, once the war started, the military and people's livelihood must be spent like water.

The central treasury is very empty, and the "suppression of communism" every year costs a lot of money, and the people have long been overwhelmed.

Mr. Jia, you are a sensible person, how can you fight a war if you have no money?If domestic taxation is increased, it is tantamount to cutting flesh to mend sores, drinking poison to quench thirst.

Wei Guobucai, this time going abroad is actually following his father's secret order to establish an overseas economic channel that is independent of the government's financial department and used to support the war, so as to cope with the upcoming Sino-Japanese war.

Although you are overseas, Mr. Jia, you have always cared about your motherland, which is obvious to all at home and abroad, so my father and I very much hope to get your support, Mr. Jia!" Jiang Weiguo said very frankly and sincerely, and he believed that Mr. Chen, who has a passionate patriotism, would never stand idly by for such a major matter related to the survival of the country.

When Jiang Weiguo "goed home" for the first time, he asked Chiang Kai-shek to help write a few personal letters, and this was his purpose.

At that time, Jiang Weiguo said to Chiang Kai-shek: "Father, a full-scale war between China and Japan is imminent. Once war starts, the League of Nations will be completely unable to stop the Japanese, just as it was unable to prevent the Japanese from occupying Northeast my country five years ago. Western powers such as China, France, and Italy will most likely stand by and watch, and even collude with the Japanese. Therefore, the party-state is likely to rely on itself for a long time after the war against Japan.

The first thing that supports a country in a long-term war is money.

Wars burn money. Therefore, the party-state must have sufficient financial reserves and as many sources of fiscal revenue as possible.

Father, you are well aware that the economic lifeline of the party-state is basically controlled by the high-ranking dignitaries (he did not dare to name the "four big families" because Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling are also one of the four big families Members), when the war comes together, can they find out their conscience and give generously?In addition, the trend of corruption among high-level officials in the government is already very serious. By then, there will be countless people who do nothing, those who harm the public and private interests, those who fill their pockets, and those who make a lot of money in the country's calamity. On the contrary, there will be very few people who destroy their families .

Without a solid and reliable economic pillar, the party-state's war of resistance against Japan would not last long.

So, father, I want to establish an economic channel overseas that is exclusively for you to support the approaching all-out war between China and Japan. This economic channel directly leads from overseas to your hands without going through the government and those bureaucratic institutions. Li, so as to ensure that all funds can be used for war one hundred percent!"

After hearing Jiang Weiguo's words, Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo in amazement: "Wei'er, your idea is very novel and far-sighted! What do you need from me?"

"Write a personal letter!" Jiang Weiguo said, "Father, we have millions of compatriots scattered overseas, and most of them care about the motherland and are our important source of strength overseas.

During the Revolution of [-], didn't they strongly support the country?Mr. Sun Yat-sen once said, 'The success of the [-] Revolution depended on donating lives at home and donating money abroad'.

It's the same now. When the motherland is in trouble, overseas Chinese will definitely not watch the fire from the other side.

Father, you wrote a personal letter. As your representative, I visited those overseas Chinese leaders. Doesn’t it show that we are very sincere?I am your son, and it is far better for you to send me as your representative than anyone else!"

"That's right! Well said!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded again and again, deeply impressed by Jiang Weiguo's proposal, and began to appreciate Jiang Weiguo's mind and gaze, "Okay, Wei'er, I will leave this matter to you! "

After closing this sincere "petition letter" written by Chiang Kai-shek himself, Mr. Chen listened quietly to Jiang Weiguo's words, sighed for a while, and then said with emotion: "Chairman Chiang has such a vision. Mingjuan, the second son has such great ambitions, it is really the great fortune of the country and the nation! The second son can rest assured that this matter is an old man's duty.

In the land of Malay, the old man has worked hard for many years, and he still has some financial resources and manpower.

When the motherland is in trouble, how can the old be indifferent?Naturally, I will do my best to go to the national calamity.

But, Second Young Master, the cost of the war is not a small number, and I can only say that I did my best!"

Jiang Weiguo was overjoyed, and he was moved and said: "Even if it is a drop in the bucket, it can be gathered into a tower! In addition, I, Jiang Weiguo, hereby pledge my head to you, Mr. Jia, as a guarantee. Every penny, every penny of the money you lend to the government Percentage will be used to strengthen the army and fight against the war!"

"Okay, okay!" Mr. Chen laughed, and he said again, "Since this money is prepared for the future resistance against Japan, of course the more the better.

Relying on the old man alone, I am afraid that there is still no tree to support, and there is no thread!"

Jiang Weiguo laughed: "Mr. Jia, I understand what you mean, so I need your help on this matter!"

Mr. Chen's eyes were piercing: "Second son, you said that we want to establish an overseas financial channel independent of domestic official institutions, so why don't we unite the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia? Form a Nanyang Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce group, and work together for the country's future war of resistance Work together for a great cause! I think the total population of my Chinese compatriots is no less than [-] million, and our footprints can be said to be spread all over the five continents and four oceans of the world. Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America, where are there no Chinese people?"

"I will trouble Mr. Jia with this matter!" Jiang Weiguo said excitedly.

"For the country and the people, I will do my best!" Mr. Chen said awe-inspiringly, "Malaya is here, Mr. Li Qingquan is in the Philippines, Mr. Zhuang Xiyan is in Indonesia, Mr. Hu Wenhu is in Myanmar, and Mr. Hu Wenhu is in Thailand. Mr. Zheng Yongxing (Zheng Mingru's father), they and the old man are close friends. We are all overseas, if we don't support each other, how can we survive? Don't worry, the second son, this matter is left to the old man, and the old man will contact Mr. Li and the others immediately Form a Federation of Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and do our best to support the great cause of the motherland's resistance to Japan!" Tan Kah Kee, Li Qingquan, Zhuang Xiyan, Hu Wenhu, and Zheng Yongxing are the five leaders of the millions of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. These five people formed an alliance , will naturally become a huge backer for Jiang Weiguo overseas.

"Mr. Jia, thank you!" Jiang Weiguo was very moved.

With the matchmaking of Mr. Chen, who has a deep understanding of righteousness, appeal and prestige in Nanyang, which can be regarded as Delong's respect, things will be much easier.

Tan Kah Kee is the leader of overseas Chinese in Malaya, Li Qingquan is the leader of overseas Chinese in the Philippines, Zhuang Xiyan is the leader of overseas Chinese in Indonesia, Hu Wenhu is the leader of overseas Chinese in Myanmar, and Zheng Yongxing is the leader of overseas Chinese in Thailand. "Everything", under the organization of these five leaders, the millions of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia will become a major artery for continuous blood transfusion to China.

"By the way, Mr. Jia!" Jiang Weiguo really wanted to repay Mr. Chen now, but he was so poor at this time that he could only use his "unpredictable prophetic superpower" to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, "I need to remind you very solemnly And fellow overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, once China and Japan go to war, the flames of war will not only be in China. This Sino-Japanese war will become part of a new world war, and the entire Southeast Asia will most likely be affected.

You and your predecessors and overseas Chinese must immediately start preparations for relocation to avoid disaster. I suggest that you relocate to Australia, or you can relocate to Myanmar!" Jiang Weiguo knew that the Japanese army in history did not capture Australia, nor could it. Myanmar was completely captured, but Malaya, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand were all captured and occupied by the Japanese army after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

"Okay, the second son's advice, I will remember it!" Old Mr. Chen nodded repeatedly.

"Uncle, is there a guest?" A young man's voice came from outside the living room, and then a dark-skinned, capable young man walked in. He was about 23 or [-] years old. He was quite surprised when he saw Jiang Weiguo, "Uncle, is he ..."

Old Mr. Chen smiled, and he introduced each other: "This is Jiang Weiguo, the second son of Chairman Jiang, the second son, and this is my distant nephew, Zeng Liwei!"

"Hello!" Jiang Weiguo extended his hand to Zeng Liwei with a smile.

"What? You are Chairman Jiang's son?" Zeng Liwei held Jiang Weiguo's hand in surprise, "Hello! You...how did you come to Singapore?"

Old Mr. Chen laughed: "Second Young Master came to my place to discuss with me the important matter of the National Army's Anti-Japanese War!"

"Anti-Japanese?" Zeng Liwei immediately became excited, "Is the national army finally going to war with the Japanese? That's great!" His eyes burst out with enthusiasm, first looking at Jiang Weiguo, then at Mr. Chen, "Uncle, I...I want to go back to China! I want to go back with the second son! Join the national army! Beat the Japanese!" He said, gnashing his teeth again, "Damn it! The September [-]th Incident, I knew about it and wanted to go back to China immediately, but I didn’t expect that the national army did not start a war with the Japanese in the Northeast! Now..." He looked at Jiang Weiguo with piercing eyes, "Is the national army really going to fight? "

Jiang Weiguo looked at Zeng Liwei, and his heart moved slightly, because there happened to be an important measure in his "money-gathering plan" that needed people like Zeng Liwei, who were born overseas, young, passionate, patriotic, and understood the customs and customs of Southeast Asia.

Jiang Weiguo looked at Zeng Liwei and said meaningfully: "Do you really want to serve the motherland?"

"Nonsense!" Zeng Liwei was very excited, "Second son, although I am an overseas Chinese, I have not forgotten that the blood of Yanhuang is flowing in my veins! The motherland is in trouble, how can we overseas wanderers sit idly by? 24 Songhu Anti-Japanese War At that time, I wanted to take wings and go back to China, but my uncle dissuaded me!" He looked at Mr. Chen again, "Uncle, I am [-] years old and have graduated from university. I am really not interested in going to your company to be a Accountant, I want to go back to China to serve as a soldier! I want to go to the battlefield with the Second Young Master!"

Old Mr. Chen said with a dumb smile: "Okay, it happens that Second Young Master is here. If you really plan to return to China, I won't force you. I believe Second Young Master will take good care of you in the future!"

"Really?" Zeng Liwei was overjoyed.

Jiang Weiguo looked at Zeng Liwei, and calmly began to seduce him: "Zeng Liwei, there are many overseas Chinese here in Malaya. I believe there must be many patriotic young overseas Chinese who share the same goals with you. Since you want to serve the country, the more people there are naturally. the better.

I haven’t returned to China yet, but I can give you a task right now. You, recruit a group of overseas Chinese youth here in Malaya. First, you must be young and strong, second, you must be loyal and patriotic, and third, you must understand Southeast Asia. How about the local customs?Can you complete the task? "

Zeng Liwei's eyes lit up: "Second Young Master, are you planning to bring me and my friends to China to form an army?"

Jiang Weiguo laughed: "Temporary confidentiality!" He looked at Mr. Chen, "Mr. Jia, I also need your help in this matter. Please contact Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Li, Mr. Zheng and other overseas Chinese leaders in Southeast Asia. Let them help me recruit a group of young and middle-aged men, the more the better, but it is better to arm them as much as possible, and finally gather here in Singapore, waiting for my dispatch and arrangement!"

"Okay, this old man will definitely handle this matter well!" Old Mr. Chen nodded happily again.

Jiang Weiguo looked at Zeng Liwei: "You come to be the commander of this team! Get this thing done and wait for me to come back!"
