    Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you stand firm.

    While picking up the key points and recording them, Master Chen asked thoughtfully: "What is the background of Tang Haian, the leader of the general affairs team?"

    "Tang Haian was once a man who made a fortune."

    Chen Baohua¡¯s task was to support Mr. Chen, and he said without hesitation: ¡°Due to his relationship with Song Ziwen, who is from the same hometown, he was highly valued by Song after he returned from studying at the University of London in the UK. He successively served as the director of the Guangzhou Tobacco and Liquor Special Taxation Department and the National Stamping Director.  Director of the Taxation Department, Director of the Anti-Smuggling Department, and Head of the Tax Police Corps. In the 17th year of the Republic of China, after the National Government was established in Nanjing, he served as Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Supervisor of Huaian Customs, Supervisor of Zhenjiang Customs, and later Supervisor of Shanghai Customs.

    Song Ziwen admired him very much, and he was good at dealing with foreigners, so in the official correspondence between the customs and the Ministry of Finance, his signature was higher than that of the Customs and Taxation Department, and he controlled the customs duties of Shanghai Customs, so that "  The assassin king Wang Yaqiao was entrusted by others to take his head.  "

    Young Master Chen put down his pen, took out a cigarette and handed him one. Chen Baohua quickly took it and puffed away the smoke while talking: "He did his best to flatter Song Ziwen. Every week, Song Ziwen returned from Nanjing.  In Shanghai, he had to go to the North Railway Station to greet him. In July of the 20th year of the Republic of China, when Wang Yaqiao led his men to assassinate Song Ziwen at the North Railway Station, his second target was Tang Haian. As a result, the gunmen were distracted and missed Song and Tang.  , but killed Song Ziwen's confidential secretary Tang Fulu.

    He is nominally responsible for general affairs in the Transportation Department, but because Song trusts him very much, he often acts as a middleman for part of the procurement business.  It is said that the kickbacks he received in this regard were extremely large.  Moreover, after all kinds of materials arrive in Hong Kong, they cannot be transferred from the ship to the Guangzhou-Kowloon train and shipped out. They will inevitably be stored in Hong Kong for a period of time. When the Guangzhou-Kowloon train cannot handle such a large capacity, they will have to hire ships in Hong Kong to be transported separately.  Guangzhou, Wuzhou or Liuzhou.  Contracts for warehousing, hiring ships, and other hiring of porters and laborers were all handled by him, so he also made a lot of money in this area.  "

    Speaking of this, Chen Baohua suddenly leaned into his ear and said mysteriously: "Zhang Yanyuan naturally cannot tolerate such a piece of material. If nothing happens, it won't be long before he packs up and leaves."

    Young Master Chen sighed lightly, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Boss Dai's hands are really long. If this continues, the Southwest Transportation Department will become the Military Transportation Department."

    "Who says it's not!"

    Chen Baohua believed deeply, ¡°After the headquarters completely retreated here, it convened a meeting of branch directors and decided to merge the branch offices in Hunan and Guangxi provinces, strengthen the transportation agencies of Vietnam, Myanmar and the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and abolish the railway transportation of the headquarters.  As a result of the adjustment, all the dismissed personnel were assigned to the Burma Highway. Zhang Yanyuan transferred a large number of troops to the military command to occupy the newly opened inspection sections.

    On the pretext of strengthening the work performance of transport trucks and improving the quality of drivers, he suggested setting up a driver training institute, with Song Jian as the director, and he also served as the director of education, and brought together 2,000 drivers and technicians who returned from abroad, as well as  A total of 3,500 high school graduates were recruited from Yuanling, Guiyang and Chongqing. They were trained together and educated for three months to half a year.

    And the brigade was transformed into a transport unit, with each brigade having jurisdiction over three squadrons and 150 vehicles.  He also transferred a group of students who had graduated from the Chengdu Military Branch and had been trained by the Military Command Xifeng Training Class to serve as captains and subordinates of each brigade.  As a result, the transportation business is completely controlled by Zhang Yanyuan, and Wu Zhuozhi's so-called road transportation team can only manage vehicle repairs.  "

    With the special agents controlling the transportation, one can imagine the transportation efficiency.

    Young Master Chen realized the seriousness of the problem, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Where are the overseas Chinese? What status do overseas Chinese have in the Transportation Department?"

    "Same as you, my status is very transcendent."

    Chen Baohua put out his cigarette butt and continued: "The vast majority of drivers and technicians are from Nanyang, and Mr. Tan Kah Kee of the 'Nantang Overseas Chinese Association' also donated 2,000 American Dodge three-ton trucks on behalf of the overseas Chinese in Nanyang. But in the driver training  So on this issue, they are at loggerheads with Song Ziliang and Zhang Yanyuan, and they are incompatible with each other. "

    Some things cannot be changed, such as our overseas Chinese identity.

    In both public and private matters, Mr. Chen believes that he should be on the side of the overseas Chinese. He can't help but ask: "Why is there such a stalemate?"

    "Overseas Chinese do not think it is necessary to participate in training. Even Mr. Tan Kah Kee clearly pointed out that driver training centers focus primarily on driving and repair disciplines, and military training is only a secondary issue. Specialized military training such as marksmanship, target shooting and shooting is absolutely unnecessary; blasting  , to prevent the activities of dissidents and other special agent training, and it has nothing to do with the driver's business. "

    "Mr. Chen is right."

    "Song Ziliang based on Mr. Chen'sSeeing this, Zhang Yanyuan was actually scolded.  But he also refuted Mr. Chen¡¯s opinions.  Mr. Shi said that he has destroyed the slogans of "War of Resistance First," "Victory First," and "Military First," and it is likely that generals will not accept the order of the emperor.  However, the Military Commission issued another instruction, requesting that Mr. Chen's opinions be followed and the training at the driver training institute be improved. In the end, the overseas Chinese won this round.  "

    What surprised Chen Baohua was that Young Master Chen actually raised his head and sighed: "No one won in this round. Song Ziliang is a smart man. He asked himself that he couldn't help Zhang Yanyuan, and he had to fool Chen Jiageng, so he had to do this!"

    Before coming to Kunming, Chen Guofu once said that you must not underestimate the young anti-war hero in front of you. If you want Zhongtong to open up the situation in the Transportation Department and even Yunnan, you must cooperate with him sincerely.

    Chen Baohua realized that there was no need to sell things, so he said straight to the point: "Virgo, Song Ziliang just makes money, negotiates, and buys things. He is a financial person, let him manage this mess, there is no such thing  Ability, and no desire to directly control it. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yanyuan can be arrogant and domineering."

    How could Young Master Chen fail to hear what he meant? He lit another cigarette, puffed on it for a while, and suddenly asked out of the blue: "What do Director Chen and Minister Chen mean?"

    Chen Baohua did not answer his question directly, but said meaningfully: "A layman can never manage an expert well. Virgo, most of the trucks in the Transportation Department were donated by overseas Chinese from Nanyang, and most of the drivers and mechanics in the Transportation Department are also from Nanyang."  Overseas Chinese, as long as you can stand up, you will be answered.¡±

    "On my first day on the job, you want me to seize power?"

    "Transportation is ineffective, internal strife continues, and the pressure from society and public opinion is so great. It is highly expected that you will take your place, Virgo. What's more, even if you don't come, Song Ziliang won't be able to work for a few days. He will just go with the flow and will not offend the Song family."

    Although Mr. Chen was determined to get this position, he still would not let others lead him, let alone Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu. He patted his arm and said with a smile: "Director Chen, we will be here today.  Well, please inform Section Chief Chen of the Personnel Department and ask him to arrange a secretary for me, preferably someone who understands transportation. After all, as the deputy director, I cannot know anything about transportation. "

    "yes!"

    After a while, Chen Zhiping, the head of the personnel section, sent over an unattractive female secretary named Zhang Suqin. She was 26 years old, unmarried, graduated from Jiaotong University, and had worked in the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Railways.  Fortunately, he is mediocre in appearance. If he were to send someone as beautiful as a flower, Master Chen really wouldn't know how to refuse.

    Being so close to the anti-Japanese war hero, Zhang Suqin was a little nervous and hesitated for a while, not daring to sit down at the secretary¡¯s desk outside.  While looking through this month's freight records, Master Chen said nonchalantly: "Secretary Zhang, it is said that you are a veteran of the Transportation Department and are familiar with all aspects. Please give me a brief introduction so that I can have a general understanding.  ¡±

    "VirgoVirgo, youyouwhat aspect of the situation do you want to know?"

    "Business-related." Young Master Chen looked up, pointed to the chair opposite and added: "Sit closer, we are all young people, don't be so nervous."

    There are too many rumors about Young Master Chen. He is both a hero of the Anti-Japanese War and a playboy. Some even say that he is a drug addict.  Zhang Suqin was more willing to believe that he was a hero of the Anti-Japanese War. He quickly adjusted his glasses and sat down carefully.

    "Reporter, since the fall of Guangzhou, imported materials have mainly been re-exported through Haiphong. After all, compared with the Burma Highway truck transportation, the re-export distance through Haiphong is shorter and the freight is lower. For example, the total distance from Haiphong to Kunming is 853 kilometers, while from Kunming to Yunnan-Burma  The border area is 954.4 kilometers long. From a freight comparison perspective, it only costs 194.58 yuan per ton from Haiphong to Kunming, while it costs 527.02 yuan per ton from Yangon to Kunming.¡±

    The people below are still very dedicated. When they mention the numbers, they are very familiar with them, and they are even accurate to two decimal places. Young Master Chen nodded with satisfaction. While recording, he motioned for her to continue.

    "In order to make full use of the China-Vietnam international transportation line, Director Song moved the original Hanoi branch to Haiphong and established the Tongdeng branch. Although the transportation between China and Vietnam is convenient, the two cross-border lines are narrow gauge, and the coal production along the railway is not abundant.  It was necessary to allocate a group of vehicles specifically for transporting coal, and the transport volume was not large. In addition, transporting rice to Yunnan accounted for half of the transport volume. In addition, the French and Vietnamese authorities, in order to avoid offending Japan, imposed extremely strict restrictions on transit materials.  "

    Zhang Suqin took a peek and found that he was actually looking at the map on the wall with his back turned, so he continued to introduce: "At first, the daily transportation volume of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was only more than 300 tons. Due to the contractual relationship, about 3% of the  The ten is exclusively used by the British American Tobacco Company, and other cargo can only carry more than 200 tons. After negotiations with the French and Vietnamese authorities, Director Song agreed.?? can be increased to 500 tons per day, but the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway Company only last month on the grounds that the train could not pick up the goods on time after arriving in Kunming, there were insufficient shipping tools and it could not be unloaded quickly, and Kunming Customs was not open on Sundays and holidays.  Increased to 400 tons"

    The focus of transportation is still on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, and the situation is not optimistic!

    Young Master Chen weighed it up and said resolutely: "Secretary Zhang, please send a telegram to Director Song, saying that I will conduct an inspection along the Yunnan-Burma Highway from tomorrow. It will take about a month. If you have anything to tell me along the way,  Contact the branch office and branch office.¡±

    Zhang Suqin was so surprised that such an important decision was made on the first day after taking office, and the decision was made first and later. Zhang Suqin was stunned for a while and then asked cautiously: "Thenthenwhat about me?"

    "You're a woman. It's not very convenient along the way. You'd better stay at the headquarters for the Spring Festival. Tell Team Leader Zhang and Director Chen to prepare two trucks and a radio station, and send them to the branch offices and branches along the route.  Say hello."
