Chapter 637 Confession
Youdao is the master of great achievements.
Since Li Cunzhi was worried that Chen Tianhua's wings were too full, Li Xinghong knew exactly what he should do to have both sides.
"Major General, with all due respect, the scale of investment and expansion in Daye this time is unprecedented. It requires more funds than southern and western Jiangxi. Moreover, the situation around Daye is more complicated than Ganzhou. There is the power of Japan's Yahata Steel Works nearby.
, and Daye Iron Mine still owes a debt of six million taels of silver to Zhengjin Bank, so I would like to ask the Major General to slow down." Li Xinghong persuaded.
"To be honest, I just went to Japan's Hachiman Steel. Five years ago, Shengxuan Huaisheng borrowed money from Zhengjin in two installments for the expansion of the Daye Railway. The loan period was six years, and the annual interest did not seem to be high.
The price is as high as eight cents, but the interest stipulated in the agreement between the two parties is required to be returned in iron ore. The unit price is three silver dollars per ton, and it is also an FOB price, and the price cannot be increased midway. "
"But the current international iron ore price has reached an FOB price of 24 yuan per ton. How much do those wretched Japanese pirates have invaded us over the years?"
"What's even more abominable is that Yawata Iron Works secretly colluded with local gentry and government officials to secretly purchase mines in Daye County, and even iron mines in Ezhou. This plan cannot be allowed to succeed."
Chen Tianhua expressed all his inner thoughts, "This matter cannot be delayed, so no matter how difficult it is, I will bite the bullet and take down all the surrounding mines from the hands of the Japanese, so that the Japanese will not worry about it."
He knew in his heart that the historical Daye Iron Mine was eventually controlled by Japan's Yawata Steel because it could not repay the loan from Zhengjin Bank. It sent a large amount of iron ore to the Japanese island countries and provided the military with the opportunity to expand its military and prepare for war.
A lot of steel.
Shortly after the national Anti-Japanese War broke out, the entire Hanyeping Iron and Steel Metallurgical Group was forcibly occupied by the Japanese until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
Therefore, he must now change this situation, first of all, repaying the loan debt of Zhengjin Bank.
"Young General!" Li Xinghong said:
"I think we can prepare in advance to return the principal of Zhengjin Bank's six million taels of silver now. There is still almost a year left, so it should be timely. But can the expansion and deployment of additional security teams be postponed?
After returning the money to Zhengjin Bank, it won’t be too late to start the operation again.”
Chen Tianhua shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Brother Xinghong, you don't know something. The Japanese island countries are the most despicable and shameless at the moment. Their food and appearance are very ugly. Their own resources are depleted, but they are frantically plundering the resources of other countries, strengthening their armaments, and are ready to launch colonial wars at any time. More than ten years ago, their cabinet
There is a mainland policy, which is to eventually occupy the current Qing Dynasty."
"What? Mainland policy?" Li Xinghong said in shock, he had never heard of it.
Chen Tianhua was also surprised that he had let it slip just now. Japan's mainland policy was only slowly revealed after World War II, and it is still a high-level state secret.
"Well, it's like this. Not long ago, Xu Yunyuan's Investigation Division gave me an international information report. It mentioned the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese people and said they had a mainland policy." He had no choice but to blame the Military Investigation Division.
"What's the content?"
Li Xinghong blurted out that he was surprised that Xu Yunyuan's consulting and espionage agency could actually obtain the secrets of the island country's cabinet. It was really not easy.
"The details are unknown, but the general content is that the first step is to capture Taiwan Province of the Qing Dynasty, the second step is to capture North Korea, the third step is to capture the Manchu and Mongolian areas of the Qing Dynasty, and finally, it is to comprehensively invade and destroy the entire Qing Dynasty.
The country will be destroyed.”
"Now that Taiwan Province has passed the Sino-Japanese War, they have obtained it. The Manchu and Mongolian areas outside the customs are in progress. Korea is currently in a semi-conquered state. Therefore, we must try our best to prevent the plan of Japanese pirates from being implemented smoothly."
Chen Tianhua had no choice but to briefly talk to Li Xinghong.
After hearing this, Li Xinghong nodded and said: "I thought wrongly. The young general thought further than I did. I only looked at the front."
He was also a bloody man with strong national self-esteem. He was devastated by the failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 and hated Japanese people.
"Regarding the current shortage of funds caused by our increased investment in Daye, I would rather compromise with Britain, the United States and France and borrow money from them. This is called using one to control another." Chen Tianhua continued.
"Then let me go to Daye to garrison troops this time. You and Chunsheng have both gone out. It's my turn to lead the team this time. It's quite boring to stay in one place all day." Li Xinghong didn't know why, but he took the initiative.
Please Sakura.
Chen Tianhua was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said:
"I will go to the Daye garrison first this time. You and Chunsheng will guard the base camp, and Chunsheng will also be in charge of the Jiangxi position, and you will focus on the southwest of the autonomous region, the Niutoushan area. The key is that my brother-in-law is in Shanghai, and some things may not be possible.
It would take a lot of care."
He suddenly mentioned Li Pinzhang, which made Li Xinghong stunned. He couldn't help but blush on his face and said in a deep voice:
"The young general is right. The commander-in-chief had a conversation with me alone one year ago. He said that the Third Young Master had just entered Shanghai and asked me to help you with some matters. I always wanted to find an opportunity to explain this to you, but I never did.
It's a suitable opportunity. Today you took the initiative to bring it up, so I'll just say by the way, it seems that I can't go to Daye yet."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Xinghong couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. From the twelfth lunar month of last year to the present, the matter of the commander-in-chief asking him to interview him and asking him to support Third Young Master Li had been weighing him down.
Youdao said that when gods fight, mortals suffer, and it is extremely uncomfortable for him to be caught in the middle. Especially when he heard that Li Pinzhang's acquisition of Huasheng Textile General Factory was blocked later that year, he became even more uneasy.
Hearing Zhang Chuan say that Li Pinzhang's acquisition in Shanghai was blocked seemed to have the shadow of Xu Yunyuan, but there was no real evidence, which scared him into a cold sweat.
If Xu Yunyuan made a move, it must be under Chen Tianhua's instructions. The two of them already have family members.
Therefore, when he took the initiative to invite Sakura just now, he subconsciously meant to escape.
Unexpectedly, Chen Tianhua took the initiative to let Li Xinghong help Mr. Li San when he was free. Although I don't know whether he was kind or deliberately testing, in short, Li Xinghong no longer had to be sneaky.
Just imagine, what things here can escape Xu Yunyuan's eyes and ears?
At this time, Chen Tianhua was sincerely helping Li Xinghong to rescue him.
When I returned to the autonomous region from western Ganxi a few years ago, I didn't see Xu Yunyuan. She said she went to Shanghai on business. When Yinhu Mingzhen reported the situation to him, she mentioned that Chen Qimei entertained Mr. Li San at the Red Sleeve Book Apartment. Among the other entourage, there were
Li Xinghong.
Chen Tianhua was slightly surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it from his perspective, he felt that Li Xinghong was helpless.
Li Xinghong was a relative of the Li clan in Anhui, not a direct line but a branch, but he was a member of the Li clan after all. Li Cunzhi had always regarded him as a confidant, and had always arranged for him to follow him as an assistant.
