Chapter 432: Funding Issues
Although Shi Zude and others wanted to stay and get close to Zhong Yi, they also knew that the Wuhan Garrison Command had just been established and Zhong Yi was at the busiest time, so they stood up to say goodbye.
Zhu Liangcheng deliberately walked slowly at the end, and refused to leave.
Seeing this, Zhong Yi said, "Old Zhu and Fuminister, please stay!"
Zhu Liangcheng and Sun Liren immediately turned back and sat in their seats when they heard this.
As soon as Zhu Liangcheng sat down, he said, "Tong, I..."
"Old Zhu, I said you have been back many times." Zhong Yi said, "Don't call me a team leader."
Zhu Liangcheng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I can't change it, and I don't want to change it either."
Sun Liren couldn't help but look at Zhu Liangcheng. This was completely impressed by Zi Ren. Even though his status was comparable to Zi Ren, he still took advantage of his subordinate status!
"It's up to you." Zhong Yi ignored Zhu Liangcheng and said to Sun Liren, "Fujin, Wuhan Garrison Command has just been established, and the Ministry of Military Affairs has temporarily allocated only five million French coins. This amount of money is not enough to maintain the food of ten brigades, let alone ordering arms from the United States, and ordering arms cannot use fiat currency!"
Sun Liren nodded and said, "I was thinking about this problem just now. Where does the funding come from?"
Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "The food and salary of the ten brigades and the funds for ordering arms cannot be said to have to fall on your anti-smuggling corps!"
"What?" Sun Liren was shocked when he heard this and said, "Zi Ren, you are not trying to attack the passing merchant ships, right? I tell you, although these merchant ships are basically smuggling, they all have backgrounds. Behind them are either a veteran of the Party and the State, a senior member of the Executive Yuan, or even a senior member of the military!"
After a pause, Sun Liren said again: "No matter which one is not something our anti-smuggling corps can touch!"
"Is that true?" Zhong Yi said, "I don't believe it anymore. I have to touch them this time!"
Sun Liren suddenly looked shaking and said in a deep voice: "Zi Ren, have you really thought about it?"
"Of course, otherwise where will the self-raised funds come from?" Zhong Yi groaned and continued, "Fumin, when you go back, select a group of capable forces and form several anti-smuggling teams to block the water and land transportation roads in the entire Wuhan area. Passing vehicles and merchant ships must be inspected. Once smuggling is found, all people, cars and ships will be detained immediately! The goods are confiscated, and as for vehicles and ships, let them redeem them with US dollars!"
Sun Liren said sternly: "Zi Ren, check all of them?"
Zhong Yi hesitated and said, "In addition to the Military Control Commission, the attendant's room!"
Zhong Yi has read historical materials and knows that smuggling during the Republic of China has become extremely rampant. Those powerful people have used their privileges and various entrainments, resulting in a huge exhaustion of tax revenue!
The reason why Zhong Yi dared to boast at the inquiry meeting of the commander that he could raise hundreds of millions of fiat money for Jianghan’s defense summary was because such a huge gray cake existed!
Zhong Yi knew very well that as long as he did not turn the sky over, no matter what he was, Principal Chang would not ask about it, because since Principal Chang decided to put him in this position, he would never set up difficulties and create obstacles for him, because if he lost the battle for Wuhan in the end, the biggest loser would be no one else, Principal Chang!
But this does not mean that Zhong Yi can really do whatever he wants!
For example, in anti-smuggling, Zhong Yi can attack almost everyone, but the attendant's room and the military command cannot be touched!
The reason is very simple. The attendant room is the secretary institution of Principal Chang. The attendant room is to move the principal Chang himself. The Military Control Commission is the largest spy organization and has a very high energy. If Zhong Yi offended the Military Control Commission, he will be unable to move in the army in the future. What's more, he is still very happy to get along with Dai Li and Li Chenglong.
After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "In addition, relying solely on anti-smuggling, I am worried that I will not raise enough funds, so I have to make some extra money to eliminate pornography, gambling and drugs!"
"What?" Sun Liren said in surprise, "Eliminate pornography, gambling and drugs?"
"Yes, get rid of pornography, gambling and drugs!" Zhong Yi nodded and said, "The principal and his wife have been advocating the new life movement, calling on the people of the country not to go to prostitution, gambling, and smoking big smoke. But what's the use of advocating this kind of thing alone? There must be violent agencies involved and forcibly banned, which is also to respond to the call of the principal and his wife!"
Sun Liren nodded and said, "But this matter seems to belong to Captain Zhou's authority?"
"I'm not at ease with this Tuesday." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "That's it, your anti-smuggling corps and the police corps jointly carry out a sweep, but the anti-smuggling corps must be led by the anti-smuggling corps."
"Okay!" Sun Liren focused his head and said solemnly, "I'll prepare when I go back!"
Zhong Yi nodded slightly and reminded him: "If there is anyone who dares to resist stubbornly, such as Zhou Hanqing, the leader of Tianmushan Hall who is as famous as Yang Qingshan, if he dares to resist stubbornly, don't have any scruples and resolutely suppress it!"
"Yes!" Sun Liren stood attentively and said solemnly, "Zi Ren, don't worry!"
"Yeah." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "You go."
Sun Liren raised his hand and saluted the military salute, turned around and left.
After watching Sun Liren leave, Zhong Yi turned his gaze to Zhu Liangcheng.
"Royal seat!" Zhu Liangcheng said in a deep voice, "I'd better not be this brigade commander, you will be with me."
Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Old Zhu, you are also from the Whampoa Military Academy. How could you say such childish words? The 367th Brigade is neither your unit nor my unit. It is not our decision to make who is the brigade commander or not to make who is the brigade commander. This is the decision of the director of the attendant's office and Principal Chang."
Zhu Liangcheng said: "But I just can't figure it out!"
After pausing, Zhu Liangcheng said again: "You don't know the rank of the group. If you leave, the soul of the entire army will be gone! The brothers were depressed and had no energy when they were training."
Zhong Yi looked at Zhu Liangcheng deeply, and he could feel that Zhu Liangcheng's love or loyalty to him was definitely from the heart. Perhaps, in Zhu Liangcheng's heart, loyalty to him, Zhong Yi was even more loyal to Principal Chang, even though he also came out of the Whampoa Military Academy and served as an instructor of the teaching corps.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yi suddenly felt a little moved.
Maybe, Zhu Liangcheng can be developed into his downline!
Although Lao He said that he could not actively contact the organization before being awakened, Lao He did not have any restrictions. He could not develop offline during his sleep.
Zhong Yi asked, "Old Zhu, what is your belief?"
"Faith?" Zhu Liangcheng was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously said, "Three Principles of the People?"
Zhong Yi's eyes were closed and he said, "Do you think the National Party can really realize the Three Principles of the People?"
