    Early the next morning, Zhang Yanyuan and Chen Baohua each took two trucks filled with military and central government agents and rushed to Elephant Eye Street where Master Chen was staying.

    There were only two vehicles, but four came all at once. Young Master Chen was very unhappy and asked mercilessly: "Team Leader Zhang, Director Chen, are the vehicles in the department very generous?"

    "Your safety is more important than anything else. After traveling thousands of kilometers back and forth, it's better to be prepared."

    As soon as Chen Baohua finished speaking, Zhang Yanyuan asked with a smile but not a smile: "Virgin, do you know how the Japanese describe you now?"

    "How do you describe it?"

    "You are said to be a capricious and despicable person who must be punished. According to reliable intelligence, several major secret service agencies and naval intelligence departments are trying to get your head. Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun are not idle either. The six killers they sent have already  I went to Hong Kong and tried to come to Kunming to settle the score with you.¡±

    The capricious and despicable villain must be punished. Young Master Chen was happy, "Is there a reward?"

    "I haven't heard of this," Zhang Yanyuan looked around and said meaningfully: "Maybe because I hate you so much, I don't want to take advantage of you. In short, you are now a thorn in their side and a thorn in their side. You must not be careless in terms of safety.  Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.¡±

    "I don't need you to worry about my safety."

    Young Master Chen pointed at Chen Changshou and others who were climbing onto the truck, and said without doubt: "Leave two of them for me and drive the other two back. The Spring Festival will be here in a few days. Don't make it difficult for the brothers because of me."  Year."

    Seeing that he was determined, Chen Baohua did not insist, "Since Virgo doesn't want to bother people, let them go back, but I have to go with you."

    The Yangon branch has been established for so long, but he has never been there. Zhang Yanyuan weighed it up and said without hesitation: "Virgin, let me accompany you. I just happened to go to Chafang Station to have a look. I heard that there  Quite messy.¡±

    Zhefang Station is quite chaotic. In Young Master Chen¡¯s memory, it won¡¯t be long before a major case that shocks the whole country will occur there. If Chen Yanyuan can go and take a look in advance, he may be able to avoid this upcoming tragedy, so Wei Wei  He nodded.

    There were branches of the Transportation Department along the way, so there was no need to pack any luggage. Zhang Yanyuan and Chen Baohua explained to their subordinates, then climbed into the truck and started a long journey of thousands of kilometers back and forth with Master Chen.

    As soon as they drove out of Kunming City, a black car with a Yunnan Army license plate followed. Chen Yanyuan lifted the canvas and observed it for a while, then said to himself: "Isn't this Ma Chao's car? What is he doing here?  ?¡±

    Liang Weihua, who was half lying next to Master Chen, smiled and said, "He went to Baoshan to hand over the military camp to me. We made an appointment last night. I didn't expect him to be so punctual."

    Zhang Yanyuan seemed to have remembered something and sat up quickly, "Virgin, your subordinates should have arrived in southern Anhui by now. Do you want me to say hello to the transportation team and ask them to leave a squadron in southern Hunan after the year?  Take them all.¡±

    Isn¡¯t this using power for personal gain?

    Young Master Chen didn¡¯t want to teach others what to do. He squinted his eyes and yawned, saying, ¡°March is also a form of training. Let them walk slowly. There is no need to waste the department¡¯s precious transportation capacity because of them.¡±

    As he was talking, the car suddenly stopped slowly.

    When I looked around, I saw that there was a checkpoint in front of me. Yunnan Army soldiers in blue uniforms and police in black uniforms were checking passing vehicles.  The road is not wide to begin with, and this block is only a few kilometers long. Everywhere you look, there are cars, trucks, oil-burning ones, and charcoal-burning ones. Countless vendors carrying baskets are shuttled between the cars, shouting,  The sound of horns, noises, and engines is constant.

    It was a routine matter, and Young Master Chen didn¡¯t pay attention. He just pretended that nothing happened and continued to lie down in the wooden carriage with his eyes closed to rest.  Unexpectedly, the wait lasted for more than an hour. Ma Da, who was sitting in the car behind, couldn't stand it anymore and ran forward to argue with the officers and soldiers at the checkpoint.

    "General Chen, General Liang, there are several charcoal trucks ahead. We can't leave until they start moving. Why don't we come down and find a place to have a cup of tea?"

    The result of the theory was that we still had to wait. Even Ma Da himself was embarrassed. Young Master Chen waved his hand, "No need, we have everything in the car. Just wait. There's nothing urgent anyway."

    Zhang Yanyuan couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Virgin, do you know what those people in front of you are doing? They are collecting consumption tax. There is no problem in privately selling goods, but even the Ordnance Industry Department, the Munitions Department, the Transportation Department  All materials belonging to the Department and the Air Navigation Commission must be collected, and it is simply unreasonable to not release them without paying taxes.¡±

    Chen Baohua and Chen Yanyuan¡¯s attitudes on this issue are surprisingly consistent. ¡°This is called the ¡®Longyun¡¯ tax. It is unique in the country. It is against the fiscal and tax system and is a heavy levy. If it weren¡¯t forWith frequent air raids and fear of losses, how can they pay taxes on the war supplies that are urgently needed on the front line?  In order to continue to collect this tax, Lu Chongren also swore that Yunnan was the rear area of ??the Anti-Japanese War. In order to consolidate national defense and supplement military strength, consumption tax had to be levied.  "

    ??Can we still be called the "King of Yunnan" if our finances are not perfect?

    However, even the central government's supplies have been plucking, which is really unjustifiable. Young Master Chen sighed secretly and said nonchalantly: "You two, this is not something we should worry about, otherwise the Executive Yuan and the Ministry of Finance will have to do it."  Well."

    "Yes, it's not our turn to worry about it, but is it true that it delays the transfer of supplies? Virgo, stand on the roof of the car and take a look. At least half of them are our vehicles. They will be stuck for several hours. If the Japanese planes really do it,  If it explodes, who will bear the responsibility?¡±

    Even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek said the Yunnan King did not withdraw and told me it was useless!  Young Master Chen cursed secretly, changed the subject and asked, "Where are the other half of the vehicles? Which units do they belong to?"

    "There are too many," Zhang Yanyuan blurted out without thinking: "There are people from the Central Trust Bureau, there are people from China Transportation Company of the Department of Political Science, there are people from Kong Lingkan Fuxing Transportation Company, there are people from Yu Qiaqing Sanbei Department Store, there are people from Longda University  , and private In short, there are all kinds of things, but the news media and all walks of life have pointed the finger at our transportation department. It is really unfair. "

    There are many orders, and there is also a local snake like the King of Yunnan. No wonder even Liang Yugao said that whoever replaces the director of the Southwest Transportation Office will be the same.  Despite this, Young Master Chen still asked thoughtfully: "Team Leader Zhang, as far as I know, this department should have the authority to rectify this chaotic situation. As the leader of the security inspection team, have you ever thought about the power of  To improve transportation efficiency as much as possible?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t even dream of it!¡±

    Zhang Yanyuan sighed softly, and said with a helpless smile: "But I can only think about it. Let alone the checkpoint in front of me, I can't afford to offend those messy transportation companies. Each one has stronger backers than the last. Today  If I impound a car, the commander will order me to release it tomorrow.¡±

    It¡¯s one thing to fight for power and gain, and it¡¯s another thing to do poorly at work, but Young Master Chen has to admit that Zhang Yanyuan is still dedicated. At least in terms of the management of vehicles and personnel in the department, he has done everything he can.

    Because he noticed that the fuel tank caps of his two trucks and several transportation trucks that he just passed by had lead seals.  The drivers were also in good spirits. They saw all directions and listened in all directions. They drove carefully and did not rush around because they were transport vehicles. Even when the traffic jam was like this, they did not honk their horns like other drivers.

    Young Master Chen thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "What are we loading in our car?"

    "Most of them are tungsten sand, pure antimony, tin, raw silk, bristle and tung oil. The Ministry of Finance purchases them in exchange for foreign exchange. There are more when we come back. Our department's supplies account for 14%, and the Ordnance Industry Administration's 2%  18. The Munitions Administration 6%, the Transportation Department 3%, the Air Navigation Commission 6%, and the rest are various fuels.¡±

    "What about their car?"

    "There are supplies from the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, but generally speaking, most of them are private goods. You will know when you go to Yangon. At least one or two thousand people are using this road to make a lot of money from the national crisis and buy goods from abroad.  After a few trucks are shipped ashore and purchased locally in Myanmar, the profit is more than ten times higher when driven into the country, and demand exceeds supply. "

    Precious transportation capacity was wasted on this, and the urgently needed war supplies could not be transported back. Young Master Chen frowned, and then asked: "How many of the 2,000 trucks from the Nanqiao Association are still in place?"

    After Zhang Yanyun thought for a while, he said with certainty: "There are six hundred and twenty-five vehicles. Because there are not enough drivers, we can only park them under shelter from the sun and rain."

    Master Chen obviously would not miss such an opportunity. He immediately turned around and said, "Platoon leader Chen, go ahead and inform Director Xie and ask him to contact his hometown immediately, saying that the supplementary training department is in urgent need of 1,200 drivers and five  Hundreds of mechanics, please solve it as soon as possible, Manager Yang.¡±

    "yes!"

    Nanyang overseas Chinese leader Tan Kah Kee spent a lot of effort to recruit more than 3,000 drivers. The man in front of him immediately asked for 1,200. Zhang Yanyuan was shocked and quickly added: "One thousand is fine, but if it doesn't work, just 800."  ¡±

    The Central Party Headquarters has a special branch in Penang. Chen Baohua was well aware of the strength of the five major companies with the surnames Qiu, Xie, Yang, Lin and Chen. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Team Leader Zhang, let alone one thousand two hundred, even two  Fourteen hundred is just a matter of words to Virgo."

    Looking at his doubtful look, Young Master Chen coughed twice and continued: "Team Leader Zhang, the reason why we use the name of the 28th Supplementary Training Office is entirely due to financial considerations. It's up to me to find a solution.  , so as not to embarrass you and Director Song."

    Dealing with the Ministry of Finance is indeed difficult.??Zhang Yanyuan was convinced, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Virgin, you mean it is under the name of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs?"

    "Isn't that just free money?"

    Young Master Chen shook his head and said with a serious face, "I mean self-financing without using the government's precious military expenditures. In order to increase the enthusiasm and confidence of Nanyang relief organizations, I also plan to ask them to send representatives to supervise the finances and participate in management."  , so as not to blame others for not spending the donations effectively.¡±

    It¡¯s a good thing that someone donates money, but wouldn¡¯t it get out of control?

    Zhang Yanyuan realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly asked: "Virgin, would you like to discuss such a big matter with Director Song?"

    "I will say hello to him. In addition, I will also report the facts to the committee." At this point, Master Chen showed a worried expression, "Even the '8th Aid Committee'  After it came out, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee was under great pressure. As the chairman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee, I had to take some action. "

    "Chairman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee?"

    Seeing that he was still in the dark, Chen Baohua found it a bit funny and couldn't help but interjected, "Team leader Zhang, this chairman was appointed by the commission. How about General Liang Yugao be the liaison officer for the director?"

    Zhang Yanyuan directly believed that this was a conspiracy of the CC group. They used this hugely influential anti-war hero in front of him to establish a new position in the transportation department. He had to step aside in terms of personnel and finance, making it impossible for you to get in even if you wanted to.  But Zhongtong is not the same. Firstly, he has a good relationship with Master Chen. Secondly, there is a special party department in Nanyang. He can handle domestic affairs abroad and infiltrate the Southwest Transportation Department in various ways.
