Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After evacuating all the Japanese prisoners of war and completing the interrogation of Kitano Takatsu, who was currently being held in a secret location outside the city, in the shortest possible time, Chen Long immediately found Yang Zhen and gave him a very detailed explanation.  report.

    Although he was too busy to do anything, but out of the importance of intelligence work, Yang Zhen still took time to listen to the report and said after a while: "Old Chen, your idea is good. [.Com text] This Kitano Takatsu must not only use  And you must use it well. Just do it according to your ideas, and allocate the needed people, money, and materials first.¡±

    "You have to handle this matter personally and are only responsible to me, the political commissar, and the chief of staff. You must keep it confidential and do not disclose it to anyone except the direct execution personnel. All Japanese prisoners captured in Jiamusi  They must be held separately from other Japanese prisoners of war and screened separately.¡±

    "Intelligence work is the eyes and ears of our troops in marching and fighting. Whether intelligence work can be done well is the key to winning a battle. In previous battles, we relied more on tactical reconnaissance, and even in many cases  We only discovered that the enemy had moved. The single source of intelligence kept us in a passive response stage."

    "Your future work is very important, and can even be said to be a top priority. You are an old man who has been out of the Anti-Japanese War, and you have studied in the Soviet Union and have worked in the Central Committee for many years. You have experience in working in the Northeast and study in the Jiangbei system.  He has experience in Soviet intelligence work and Central Intelligence work.¡±

    "The central government transferred you here to better open up the situation in Northeast China. The Japanese army has implemented large-scale public security crackdowns for several consecutive years, which has caused great losses to the underground party in the Northeast. The troops have been trapped in the mountains and old forests before, and it is difficult to contact the outside world.  It¡¯s isolation that has almost paralyzed our intelligence work.¡±

    "After the reorganization of the Second Route Army, it also tried various ways to carry out some intelligence work. However, due to various conditions, especially the lack of specialized talents, and the destruction of the underground party organization, it has never been able to open up the situation. There were too many battles.  Relying on tactical reconnaissance on the battlefield will be very detrimental to our future combat operations, so you must open up the situation as soon as possible."

    "Your burden is heavy, but don't feel any pressure. From now on, feel free to do it boldly. If you have any needs or requests, just come to me or the political commissar or chief of staff directly. Remember, you have to be the ears of the military region  And the eyes. These eyes must become clairvoyant, and the ears must be like the ears of the wind. We must not be like the blind man.¡±

    After that, Yang Zhen picked up a piece of paper and wrote an approval note and handed it to Chen Long: "Take this note and go to Zhang Zhenhua and ask them to allocate two of the best 100-watt radio stations to you from among the radio stations in stock."  Radio station, three 50-watt radio stations, 50 Browning pistols, 100 speed machines, and 50,000 bullets from the inventory of weapons. In addition, 500 taels of gold and 20 pieces of ammunition will be allocated to you.  10,000 counterfeit coins as funding.¡±

    "These are already the maximum amount that the headquarters can get. You should have an understanding of the current economic situation of the headquarters. The cost of tens of thousands of troops a day is an astronomical figure. So you must give me this money.  Use it well and where it should be used.¡±

    "However, you must be cautious about the use of this fund. You must strictly control the income and expenditure, and the accounts must be clear. Remember that if there is corruption, misuse, or lavish spending,  In this case, I will settle the score with you. But this is not to be a Grandet, and you must not save any money where you should spend it, but you must not spend a penny on the things that should not be spent. "

    "In addition, you go to the Political Department of the military region to find Gao Yu** to be appointed. All cadres in the military region, your intelligence department can give priority to the selection. Headquarters, Political Department, Logistics Department, whoever you like will be given to you. But there is one thing, you guys  The intelligence department must be established in the shortest possible time.¡±

    Yang Zhen¡¯s generous move made Chen Long stunned for a moment.  He did not expect that the young commander in front of him would be so courageous, approving five hundred taels of gold and two hundred thousand Puppet Manchukuo currency at once.  This money is enough to fund the field troops of three brigades in the military region for a year.

    Judging from the current military region funding situation, according to the budget that has been made, the annual funding for a brigade is only 70,000 Manchurian dollars.  This 70,000 yuan may seem like a lot, but it includes food, living allowance, horse feed and other expenses for tens of thousands of people.

    Although the cost of clothing, equipment, and required food are all allocated by the military region, part of the funding is missing.  But these 70,000 are necessary to ensure that the troops are well fed and maintain their combat effectiveness.  It is also necessary to ensure that each soldier has a certain allowance in order to buy some daily necessities such as cigarettes and soap, which is also very tight.

    The army is now many times larger than when Lao Heidingzi was at the secret camp, and even three or four times larger than when he was at Qunce Mountain.  The area of ??the base area was not just one at the beginning.Qunce Mountain can be compared to one place. The troop garrison has begun to be dispersed, and it is no longer realistic to fully realize unified supply.

    What is being done now is to allocate necessary funds to each brigade and division. In addition to necessary equipment, military uniforms and staple food, the rest of the non-staple food and daily necessities are basically purchased locally.  Or you can open up wasteland yourself, plant some vegetables, and raise some chickens and ducks.

    The headquarters actually doesn¡¯t have much money. The money on hand was robbed from the Bank of Manchukuo and the Bank of Japan during the last surprise attack on Jiamusi.  After spending this little half a year, there is not much left.  Although 250,000 counterfeit Manchu coins were not too much, it was already all the cash the military region had on hand.

    Chen Long was not surprised that Yang Zhen attached great importance to intelligence work.  No commander-in-chief does not pay attention to intelligence work.  But with the military region's funding so tight, he had never imagined that so much funding would be allocated at once.  You know, the current military region is asking for money everywhere.

    Especially the ordnance industry system under construction is almost a big hole that cannot be filled.  As far as Chen Long knows, it does not include the current cost of importing raw materials and daily needs for the military industry system.  In order to solve the problem of military raw materials alone, the military region purchased a small synthetic ammonia production line from Jiangbei with a daily output of 12 tons of nitric acid and sulfuric acid. The estimated cost was 1.5 million yuan converted into counterfeit Manchu currency.

    In addition, Minister Peng of the Logistics Department of the Military Region is currently negotiating with him in Jiangbei to purchase captured Polish weapons and equipment and military production lines from the Soviet army that has occupied Western Ukraine and Western Belarus. There is even a plan to have a small steelmaking plant with an annual output of 50,000 tons of steel.  factory.  Once these devices are successfully introduced, the funds required will be astronomical.

    Although several gold mines, coal mines, and iron mines in the base area have resumed full production.  However, the number of products available is still limited.  A single ammonia production line has already fully budgeted the output of several gold mines in the second half of the year.  As for the funds for military production lines and steel mills, they are far from being secured.

    This does not include the subsidies paid to arsenal workers according to the standards of puppet Manchukuo technical workers.  According to Jiangbei's standards, the wages paid to the reclusive Soviet experts working in the arsenal were based on the actual exchange rate between yen and rubles.

    Chen Long was almost stunned by Yang Zhen's generosity to be able to spend such a large sum of money to develop intelligence work when funds were so tight and the follow-up funding gap was quite large.

    Looking at the dumbfounded Chen Long, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Don't get excited yet, this money is not given to you for free. Within half a year, I will see results. In addition, you should pay more attention to the development within the Puppet Manchukuo Army."  , Make more use of the contradictions within the Japanese puppet, Japanese army, and puppet Manchukuo systems. We now have several intelligence lines in the hands of the chief of staff, and they will all be handed over to you from today."

    Having said this, Yang Zhen paused and said: "But your intelligence system can't just ask for money. It must not only be an old hen, but also an old hen that can lay golden eggs. We have limited resources.  In addition to ensuring the daily operation of the army, almost all of the funds have been invested in military production. "

    "As for your future funding, in addition to this amount, there will be some in the future, but it will not be too much for a long time. You still have to think of ways to fund it yourself. In the future, you will not only have to  To have the function of producing blood yourself, you also need to have the function of transfusing blood to the headquarters. As for how to do it, you have to think more about it. Once the intelligence work is opened, there will be more opportunities. "

    To be honest, Yang Zhen felt quite hurt when he took out such a large amount of money at once.  Nowadays, money is everywhere. Without a bank of your own, you can only rely on seizures. The amount of funds you can call is really limited.

    "It's a pain in the butt, but Yang Zhen believes that the money must be spent."  To establish an intelligence system in a short period of time requires not only a lot of energy and hard work, but also funds.

    The situation outside the customs is different from that inside the customs. The grassroots organizations are weak, the number of party members is too small, and even almost blank in many aspects.  This makes it more expensive to establish the kind of intelligence system within the customs.  When necessary, bribery is the fastest and most convenient method.

    With the Japanese and puppet forces still quite strong in the Northeast, it is difficult to open up the situation simply by relying on patriotism and making friends, at least not in a short period of time.  Money is not everything, but there is nothing you can do without money. This sentence is most deeply reflected in intelligence work.

    After hearing what Yang Zhen said, Chen Long, who had calmed down from his excitement, nodded solemnly and said: "Commander, you can rest assured that I will carefully consider the use of funds and ensure that every copper is spent as it should be.  You won¡¯t spend a penny on this place.¡±

    Having said this, Chen Long smiled and said, "But Mr.Officer, I can't guarantee a long-term blood transfusion, but right now I can provide a sum of funds to the military region.  Although it is not too much, it can temporarily solve some of the funding difficulties of the military region.  "

    "In order to obtain our guarantee, Kitano Takatsu handed over all the liquidity of the Fourth Division on hand. Following the clues he provided, we seized one thousand taels of gold and counterfeit Manchu coins from the safe of a Japanese trading bank.  430,000 yuan, 30,000 yen. In addition to this cash, semi-finished and finished opium products worth 200,000 yuan were also seized from the basement of this business.¡±

    "This money is all working capital for the various units of the Fourth Division to do business together, and that Japanese firm was opened in Jiamusi by various units of the Fourth Division for the convenience of smuggling. Several parties know about it.  In addition to the working capital smuggled by various regiments of the Fourth Division, there are also accounts embezzled by several parties involved in the construction of the Jiamusi City Wall.¡±

    "Because they are worried that their smuggling activities will be discovered by the Kwantung Army headquarters, all their liquid funds are rarely deposited in banks. Most of them are in the form of cash. If large amounts of funds must be used, they are deposited in the bank in the name of a commercial bank in exchange for checks. Therefore.  We can only seize so much cash at one time."

    "Judging from Kitano Takatsu's confession, there is no business that the Fourth Division would not dare to do as long as it makes money. Since the Fourth Division entered Sanjiang Province, they have relied on force as a backing and have almost taken over the entire smuggling business in Sanjiang.  Business. Judging from the seized account books, half of the timber, 70% of the opium, and 90% of the Western medicine smuggling business in Sanjiang Province were conducted by them."

    "And judging from the account books, the scale of the smuggling network they built is extremely large. Not only several regiments are involved, but also the 1st Division stationed in Heihe Province, the 8th, 11th, and 12th Divisions of Binjiang Province  Some people in the regiment were dragged into the water, and even some people in the Kwantung Army headquarters were deeply involved. "

    "Finding out the smuggling network within the Japanese army is extremely important for our future work. With this clue, we can get some of the supplies we need from the Japanese army. For example, Western medicine, auto parts, etc. are extremely strictly controlled by the Japanese."  , and we urgently need strategic materials.¡±

    "In addition, based on this guy's confession, we also seized the fourth quarter military pay allocated by the Kwantung Army to the Fourth Division from the safe of the Jiamusi Branch of Japan Zhengjin Bank, totaling 1.2 million yen. In  The Jiamusi Branch of the Puppet Manchukuo Industrial Bank seized the funds allocated by the Puppet Manchukuo Military and Political Department to the Puppet Manchukuo Seventh Military District to form new troops, as well as 600,000 Puppet Manchurian dollars for military pay in the fourth quarter. "

    "Commander, you made the right choice this time. This Kitano Gaojin is also considered to have great supernatural powers. He has many so-called friends in the Jiamusi Puppet Manchukuo military and political system. In addition to these things, we also took out quite a lot of things from his mouth.  The whereabouts of Japanese and puppet funds.¡±

    "In addition to the military salaries of the Japanese and puppet troops, we also found 1.6 million yuan used by the puppet Manchukuo to forcibly purchase grain from the Jiamusi Branch of the Zhengjin Bank and the Jiamusi Branch of the Puppet Manchukuo Industrial Bank. In addition to us in the Sanjiang Province of the Puppet Manchuria  According to the third quarter tax revenue of other counties, it is more than one million yuan.¡±

    In order to plunder more resources in the Northeast and serve the Japanese army, the Kwantung Army promulgated the so-called "Grain Export Law".  It is stipulated that all grain harvested by farmers shall be purchased by their designated departments.  This year is the first year that Sanjiang Province is the designated trial area for the Puppet Manchukuo.  This 1.6 million yuan was shipped here in order to forcefully purchase grain at low prices.  "

    "In addition to these, there are 400,000 yuan to purchase land for the Japanese pioneer group scheduled to immigrate this year, and 500,000 yuan allocated to build so-called national defense facilities. Of these 500,000 yuan, 300,000 yuan was used to build Xijiang River  Regional highways, that is, the national defense highways from Jiamusi to Fujin and Tongjiang.¡±

    "From his confession, we can know that the senior officials of the Kwantung Army did not expect that the second division's campaign would fail. In the view of the senior officials of the Kwantung Army, your last successful surprise attack on Jiamusi was just an accident. So even if  The war in Jiangbei is in full swing, but their actions are still going according to plan. These funds were allocated as early as the beginning of last month."

    "The average amount of these funds is not large, but it adds up to a large amount. According to this amount, although it may not be able to completely make up for the funding gap in the military region, it can at least solve the urgent need. The captured Fourth Division alone  The regiment¡¯s military salary is enough to pay for the introduction of a synthetic ammonia production line.¡±
