Chapter 96: Chen Brai's Gentle Push
Chiang Kai-shek's dissatisfaction with Kong Xiangxi reached its peak after receiving Kong Xiangxi's handwritten letter.
He thought that Kong Xiangxi was his brother-in-law and had been very obedient for more than ten years. Even if he was a little corrupt, he should be within a controllable range. Although things like the Seven Star Company were related to it, it was mainly because of the lack of strict management of the family. Thinking of Kong Xiangxi's always soft personality and spoiling for his children, this should be expected. Just lose his temper and rectify him, Kong Xiangxi should repent immediately. Even if he doesn't repent, he will give himself a decent explanation. But he did not expect that although Kong Xiangxi recognized him in the letter, he would agree to him.
He was wrong, but he didn't say a word. That's not all. The lines kept accusing some people of wanting to distract from the relationship between the two parties, telling him not to listen to the rumors of "outsiders". Even Kong Xiangxi was still in his letter and explained his greed for the national treasury as "who might fall into the hands of outsiders"... What does it mean to fall into the hands of outsiders? Thinking about his frequent headaches due to insufficient military expenditure, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but get angry. And Kong Xiangxi is still so stubborn and so unrepentant, what else can he do?
"Mediocre people ruin the country, but greed is so bad!"
I really wanted to withdraw Kong Xiangxi just now, but after a few words were gone, Chiang Kai-shek still didn't say it. Chen Bulei was not an outsider, but in comparison, he was not close to Kong Xiangxi, and Kong Xiangxi could not just withdraw. No matter how bad he was, he was also the president. There were so many party members from all over the country.
"Chairman, President Kong is shirking responsibility for himself." Chen Bulei picked up Kong Xiangxi's letter from the ground, glanced at it a few times, but couldn't help but smile bitterly. He almost became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him, but he still refused to admit it? When did Kong Xiangxi become so stupid? But then again, since someone doesn't make it up, he has no reason not to push it. Anyway, he has disliked the fat man a long time ago:
"He picked himself up completely, but forgot that there was no perfect person in this world... According to what the letter said, since he served as the president of the central bank, he has done nothing wrong for more than ten years. Chairman Chen didn't know that our President Kong is a perfect person."
"Perfect? Who is perfect?" Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but snorted coldly again.
"By the way, you seemed to mention that Hu Shizhi exchanged 20 million US dollars from Citibank?" Chen Bulei asked suddenly.
"Is this a matter? I mentioned it to you?" Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment and asked back.
"It was mentioned." Chen Breton pondered for a moment. "But I met Chen Gengya from the Senate a few days ago, but he told me that several young people from the Treasury Bureau told him that the money was already millions less."
"What?" Chiang Kai-shek was shocked: "Is this really the case?"
"You dare not lie. You can also call Chen Gengya to confront her." Chen Bulei said seriously.
"My mom--"
Chiang Kai-shek finally broke out completely. He sent people to the Cuban waters to quietly unleash the treasure of shipwrecked shipwrecks. He regarded it as a huge sum of money that was extremely important to support the great cause of the war of resistance. Before he could use it, he had already poached millions of dollars. The Treasury Bureau was under the control of Lao Kong. Even if it wanted to take such a large sum of money from the Treasury Bureau, even Lu Xian, director of the Treasury Bureau, could not have been able to obtain Lao Kong's consent. However, Kong Xiangxi allocated millions of dollars of special funds for the War of Resistance against Japan, but he didn't know what was wrong with it? Lu Xian was the old Confucius' man. Is there anything wrong with it? Do you still need to ask?
"Call me, I want to see him."
Without Zhang butcher Zhang, you may not have to eat a pig with hair. Chiang Kai-shek didn't know Kong Xiangxi's difficulties, and he didn't know that once Kong admitted his many "mistakes", the situation he faced might be worse than now. He only knew that Kong Xiangxi not only did not make him angry, but also caused trouble for him. Although he was obedient and useful, he could not help him. Since that's the case, don't miss him and not talk about his old love.
"yes."
Song Zi, Chiang Kai-shek's brother-in-law, is not very obedient, but it is also easier to use than others. The most important thing is that it is trustworthy and can comfort Mrs. Chiang Soong Mei-ling's emotions. Chen Bulei was not surprised by this candidate. The outside world had long guessed who would take over once Kong Xiangxi stepped down. There is no doubt that Song Zi is the number one candidate.
"Call Yu Hongjun again."
"Minister Yu?"
Minister of Finance Yu Hongjun and Chen Bulei became more and more happy. It seems that Chiang Kai-shek is planning to give Kong Xiangxi a gloomy this time. Song Zi took over the position of Chief Executive of Kong Xiangxi and seized administrative power; Yu Hongjun was going to seize Kong Xiangxi's financial power.
"Royal Shell?"
"It seems that this person is quite familiar with the origin of Shell."
Chiang Kai-shek was furious because he was stolen from money, but just when he was worried about the safety of the money he had finally gotten from the United States, a discussion was also begun in the British consulate in Chongqing Consular Lane. Sir Ahilde Clark Carl, the British ambassador to China who was inexplicably "driven" to Shanghai by Qin Wei and others, was also discussing the sudden visit of the middle-aged man with Consul General in Chongqing.
"Oil, Indonesia's oil..." Karl smacked his lips: "Korli, do you know what the production of Indonesia's oil is now?"
"You asked the right person, and I happened to know a little, of course, not much." Kollie smiled, "As far as I know, the total output of Indonesia's crude oil should have reached 8 million tons last year. A very amazing number."
"Now the Chinese people want to discuss this issue with us. It seems that they feel that the output of 8 million tons is a little less." Carl smiled.
"This is not like a person sent by Chiang Kai-shek's government. If it were that guy, he would have sent an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But now he is a soldier." Kerrley said.
"By the way, who did the soldier say he represents?" Carl asked.
"Qin Wei, a guy who has been rumored to be in Chongqing recently, I heard that he is still a professor." Kerrli said.
"Professor? Is he a scholar?" Carl was obviously a little surprised. He thought that the person who dared to come to the British Embassy to discuss oil production would be an official, or at least a big businessman, but he never expected that he would be a scholar.
"Are you surprised? You have been staying in Shanghai for a while, and it is appropriate to be unaware of this guy who suddenly doesn't know where he suddenly came out. But I must admit that this guy is indeed a scholar, and a very amazing scholar. He has created a method that allows Chinese people to master the pronunciation of Chinese characters in a very short time, called Chinese Pinyin. This method can be taught from a very young age, even before children go to school. It is rumored that as long as there is a Chinese Pinyin mark, a primary school student can make China the most complex and difficult to understand. The most word-to-word masterpiece is read from beginning to end, word-to-face," said Kerr.
"So amazing? He is a language master?" Carl was shocked again. It is difficult to learn, and it can be listed as one of the most difficult languages in the world. But now someone has invented a very simple learning method... What is the language used for? Isn't it? With his experience in learning, Chinese is difficult to start, but as long as he can speak and pronounce it, the next learning will be a hundred times easier. English is completely opposite. It is easy to get started, with only the most basic ones with only 26 letters, and ordinary dialogue is also simple. But if you want to study hard, the effort you put into it is a terrifying number of words. And what each word means must be re-learned. If you want to learn all English words alone, it can only be said to be an impossible task.
"I personally think he should be considered a master, but as far as I know, his position as a part-time job, and his real position is the dean of a military shelter." Coleli shrugged and smiled.
"Soldiers' shelter?" Carl was surprised again.
"Yes, the place where the remnants and defeated generals were accommodated." Coleli said again.
"That's not a good position."
"Yes. But that Professor Qin seemed very happy to stay there. Oh, I almost forgot. I also heard that he had a good relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. Some time ago, many newspapers in Chongqing reported that he had protected a Japanese female spy in Chiang Kai-shek's hands..."
"Japanese female spy? God, are you talking about Nanzao Yunzi?" Carl almost jumped up. Nanzao Yunzi! He was so familiar with this name. It was this woman who almost made him a scapegoat for Chiang Kai-shek and was blown to pieces by the Japanese plane. But no matter how he protested afterwards, the Japanese did not treat Nanzao Yunzi. And the British Empire he represented also implemented an appeasement policy against Japan for the sake of interests, which made him unable to achieve his goal of avenging revenge.
"Yes, it's Nanzao Yunzi." Kerrley also remembered Carl's past experience and apologized: "I'm sorry, the situation in Chongqing was very chaotic at that time, and the Chiang Kai-shek government was always very dissatisfied with our policies, so I didn't protest to them."
"It's okay, I can understand." Carl rubbed his forehead, "and I remembered it, but when this happened I... Oh, I remember I seemed to have just read the newspaper..."
"Newspaper? Oh, damn it. I haven't read the newspaper today." Coleley was stunned for a moment, "Is there any news?"
"That female spy has been shot dead by Chiang Kai-shek. Haha, she deserves the crime." Carl suddenly laughed loudly.
"Shooted? God, that's really a pleasure." Coleli also happily said, "I think we should celebrate."
"It should indeed be celebrated. But before that, we have to figure out what the 'language master' named Qin Wei wants to do." Carl paused, "I need his information, it's better to be more detailed."
"I guarantee you are satisfied." Coleli nodded in response to the task, "But before this, should we notify Royal Shell? You know, that guy didn't give us much time."
