Xiyuan!

"The Sixth Corps of the National Revolutionary Army reported to compatriots across the country that at 5 pm on August 27, Fengtian was recovered, the 1st Division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Yokoyama Isamu, was captured alive by our army!

The Japanese Kwantung Army has become a grasshopper after autumn, and can only jump up to a few days..."

Jiang Dong closed his eyes and fell asleep in the lounge next to the combat command room. Su Qing's melodious voice came from the radio, and a smile appeared on his lips involuntarily.

In this rare moment of rest, he imagined Su Qing's appearance from her voice and thought about her mood at this moment, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Crunch..."

The door was pushed open, and as soon as Xie Chengrui entered the room, he saw the strange smile on the corner of Jiang Dong's mouth. He was stunned, almost thinking that Jiang Dong was having a sweet dream, until he heard the voice coming from the radio next to him and smiled.

Jiang Dong smiled and opened his eyes and saw the strange look on Xie Chengrui's face. He moved his chin and quietly wiped out the smile.

Xie Chengrui shook his head and chuckled for a while, and then said to Jiang Dong:

"Commander-in-Chief Fengtian was restored, the Japanese 1st Division was completely wiped out, and Isamu Yokoyama was captured alive. The Political Department believed that this was a point that could be widely publicized.

One is to boost the morale of the military and civilians across the country, and the other is to attack the stubborn Japanese!

Director Wang Liang proposed that the photos taken by frontline reporters and tomorrow's newspaper reports should be spread through air force planes to Changchun, Harbin and other Japanese-occupied areas, so that the Japanese can see Yokoyama Isamu's embarrassment, in order to achieve the purpose of damaging the morale of the military!"

Jiang Dong sat up straight, nodded and said:

"This is a good idea, let them do what they want, I agree!

Not only Isamu Yokoyama, but also the senior Japanese generals we captured can participate in this operation. Those who are willing to write a confession can write a confession, and those who are unwilling to write can take some photos for them. In short, do whatever is convenient for them, and then give it to Ueda Ken

Give Ji a strong dose of medicine and let’s see how long he can last!”

Xie Chengrui smiled, took out his pen and wrote down Jiang Dong's words, and then said:

"This is Zhang Shengqing and Wei Junru's battle plan for the general attack on Harbin. Take a look at it. If there is anything inappropriate, I will notify them to correct it!"

Jiang Dong took the plan and glanced at it hastily, shook his head and said:

"The two of them have hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands and are on the front line of the battlefield. What should they do? They should have a strong balance in their minds!

I won’t read this plan!

The ancients often said that generals will not accept military orders abroad. I think this sentence is more important to emphasize that frontline generals should have the ability to make decisions on their own and make timely and appropriate adjustments to their enemy's strategy based on the situation they face!

They are now the commander-in-chief of the First Army. They cannot ask for instructions on everything. They must cultivate the ability to take charge of their own affairs!

They are the backbone of the future army, and the staff and I are just controlling the big things!

We must start preparing for the expedition from now on!"

After hearing this, Xie Chengrui nodded thoughtfully,

"I will tell them what you mean and let them make their own decisions!"

"Well!" Jiang Dong stood up and turned off the radio, then stretched and asked:

"Is there anything else?"

"The Bohai Fleet has arrived at the mouth of the Yalu River and is ready to support the 4th Group Army at any time!"

"Oh, tell Xu Tingyi that they have no shortage of artillery shells now. Let the naval guns roar and beat the little devils hard!"

"Hahaha, okay!"

Just as Jiang Dong was about to walk out of the lounge, Tang Yun, director of the Secretariat, came up to report, and two deputy directors of the North China Administrative Committee came hand in hand.

Jiang Dong stopped and decided not to go back to the office. He met Wang Xueqin and Ding Beifeng here.

Xie Chengrui left to convey Jiang Dong's order, and Wang Xueqin and Ding Beifeng walked into the lounge.

The two heard the news that Fengtian had been recovered from the radio, and after discussing it, they decided to come together to find Jiangdong.

The space in the lounge is not large, and it seems a bit crowded for three people to sit together, but no one cares about this.

Wang Xueqin first congratulated Jiangdong and the army on their great victory, and then asked a little embarrassedly:

"Director, I would like to ask, how long will it take for Operation Songhua River to end?"

Jiang Dong looked at the two people, and after a little thought, he guessed their purpose of coming here, and said:

"You're not going to run out of money again, are you? Although the cannon fires a thousand taels of gold, it won't happen so quickly!"

Wang Xueqin waved her hands hurriedly,

"The material reserves can be maintained for a while longer, but 10 million silver dollars are recorded in the account every day. It is really panicking. Commander-in-Chief, please give us some time so that we can be fully prepared!"

What Wang Xueqin said was not entirely true. After seeing Jiang Dong's expression, he held back some of his words.

From Koto's point of view, war bonds, pensions and monthly financial income can sustain him to finish this war.

In fact, the Finance Department of the Administrative Committee has begun to run into a fiscal deficit. It spent 300 million silver dollars in half a month, which made Wang Xueqin frightened.

Fortunately, there are sufficient material reserves, and the impact of the fiscal deficit on the frontline battle has not yet been felt.

But these are only temporary. As the war progresses, equipment losses, weapons and ammunition supplies, food consumption, and military personnel's pensions and pensions are all in urgent need of money, and preparations have to be made early.

Ding Beifeng said:

"Profits from the arms trade have dropped by 30% compared to before, and Operation Songhua River has continued, which has caused some problems in our finances!

Dongzi, if Operation Songhua River cannot be ended within half a month, I suggest issuing a second batch of war bonds!

Only by preparing for a rainy day can the soldiers receive adequate military pay and pensions, and can also accumulate funds for us to rebuild the Northeast region!"

Jiang Dong looked at the expressions of the two people and probably guessed some of the truth. He lowered his head and thought seriously.

The war bonds have not yet been cashed out, but pensions from various systems cannot remain in arrears.

Especially in the military, there will definitely be many veterans who were discharged due to injuries after Operation Songhua River.

The promises made before must be fulfilled, and the soldiers deserve not a penny less.

Otherwise, a crisis of trust will arise and the seeds of hidden dangers will be sown.

"Let's do this..." Jiang Dong considered and said,

"The second batch of 100 million silver dollar war bonds will be issued on September 1."

Wang Xueqin breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieved, and heard Jiang Dong say:

“This part of the funds is mainly used in two aspects, the first is soldiers’ pensions, and the second is post-war reconstruction!

I’ll put off other things for now and focus on these two!”

"clear!"

"good!"

"Next year we will be able to get the Rockefeller family's penicillin sales dividends. This is a lot of money. It will not be a problem to repay the war bonds!"

Jiangdong gave the Rockefeller family free patent rights for three years in exchange for the Rockefeller family's support for the large-scale infrastructure plan.

The United States has fully joined the military in the war, and the military's demand for penicillin drugs will surge.

The Rockefeller family will make a lot of money from this.

Fortunately, the three-year period is coming soon, and Jiangdong will also receive its own patent share.

Preliminary estimates suggest that at least US$500 million will be recorded every year.

Using patent shares to pay for war bonds is presumably enough.

"The Northeast is a great treasure. Within three months after the Songhua River operation is over, this great treasure will pay back our efforts many times over!"

Jiang Dong looked at the two people,

"Be bolder, take bigger steps, and cultivate more talents! War also costs money to make money. The benefits sometimes differ several times, and you will be able to see it in the future!"

They both nodded.

After settling this matter, Jiangdong began to inquire about the development of various industries.

Wang Xueqin knew everything about the Administrative Committee well, and he reported in detail the changes and developments in various industries in the half month since the Songhua River operation began.

All aspects are generally developing in a good direction!

In particular, the Military Science Research Institute and military factories in various places, stimulated by the war, continued to achieve results and soared in output.
