¡¾408¡¿Loans are too much to spend After the conferment ceremony in Zhongnanhai Huairen Hall was successfully concluded, the generals immediately started talking to each other as soon as they heard that they were dismissed. "Hello, I am Chen Shifa, commander of the 65th Division of the 22nd Army." When the meeting ended, the major general next to Xiaoqiang stood up and said with a smile. Xiaoqiang didn't expect that someone would actually talk to him. He was a little confused at the time. Seeing the general who was sitting in front of him with a straight face suddenly speaking to him, he didn't know how to talk to him, so he had to pay homage first. present. Chen Shifa returned the military salute and said with a smile: "Haha, I have never seen you before. When Mr. Chen awarded you the title, I was still wondering that there are people in Sanye that I have never seen before. Little brother, you are just this year. How old? I'll be a major general!" Xiaoqiang blushed and said, "I'm from the secret unit, you know, senior." Chen Shifa was an old revolutionary who participated in the Long March. He joined the guerrillas at the age of 14. Joining the party, I started as a guard company soldier of the 1st Division of the 1st Red Army Corps. I once served as a guard for the Zunyi Conference. Because of my bravery in combat and repeated military exploits, I only have the rank of Major General at the age of 39. Now I meet Cao Xiaoqiang. Soft nails, he couldn't help but be stunned. "Oh, confidentiality unit, you keep secrets from your own people? They are all from Sanye. What secrets do you keep? Can't you trust me?" Chen Shifa is a veteran who is used to fighting. Because of long-term combat, his ears were once bleeding from bombs, and he is used to talking. It was so loud that the surrounding generals also heard it. "Old Chen, what are you talking about? What is confidential and not confidential?" A thin general from the side came over and asked. Xiaoqiang quickly saluted again: "Hello, senior, I am Cao Xiaoqiang, and I work in the Ministry of National Defense." Chen Shifa said angrily: "You can talk to Xie Bin, the commander of the 66th Division, but you can't talk to me? No. Is it the work of the Ministry of National Defense? What kind of confidential unit!¡± , um, confidential unit." He scratched his head and planned to leave. At this time, Mr. Chen Yichen had not left yet. He was chatting with several lieutenant generals. When he heard the loud voices here, he came over and said from a distance: "Hong Yaozi, what are you going to do? Do you want to scare my soldiers to death?" " When Mr. Chen came over, the generals around him quickly saluted. Mr. Chen waved his hands and said humorously: "No more salutes. I have been saluting on the stage all morning, and my hands are almost cramping. " Everyone listened to Mr. Chen. It was so funny that everyone laughed. Mr. Chen has never seen anything before. Now that the show is over, all the generals in the place are introducing each other. Before the old man came over, he already knew roughly what was going on. He took Xiaoqiang's arm and said to everyone: "This is Cao Xiaoqiang, the secretary of Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and the secretary of the Chairman and Prime Minister. He is responsible for military intelligence work. Your 22nd Army's battle to liberate Zhoushan, high-resolution maps, aircraft and artillery are all It has something to do with him. This was originally confidential, but now you force me to tell you. It violates discipline. What should I do?" As he said this, Mr. Chen pretended to be angry. General Chen Shifa said apologetically: "It's my fault, what can I do?" Xiaoqiang was not used to bullying honest people, so he quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay, you're not an outsider. Anyway, if you say it among yourself, it won't spread." Chen The boss said: "This won't work. Hong Yazi has already expressed his opinion. He will have to drink wine as a punishment later." Seeing the excitement here, Lieutenant General Sun Jixian, commander of the 22nd Army who came over, smiled and said: "Ms. Chen wants to punish Shifa with drinking wine." Ah, I must agree to this." General Chen Shifa saw that everyone was making fun of him and laughed, "Even the commander and commander came to rip me off, so I have to accept the punishment." Mr. Chen. After relieving Xiaoqiang, he said to him: "The chairman has something to do with you. Xiaoqiang, please stop hanging around here and go quickly." Xiaoqiang quickly saluted the generals and then ran away. After leaving Huairentang, Xiaoqiang did not take a car. He relied on the familiar roads and walked quickly from Huairentang on the west bank of the Central China Sea to Fengze Garden, which was only more than 300 meters away in the south. He was already familiar with the guards along the way. , but document inspection is still an essential procedure. Xiaoqiang is still struggling with the scene just now. He used to feel that he had integrated with this era, but just now he felt that although he was in the military, he was completely unfamiliar with the founders of New China. Maybe, it still needs time? Xiaoqiang shook his head to stop himself from thinking about this problem. When I arrived at Juxiang Bookstore, I saw that the chairman who had just completed his title had taken off his Chinese tunic suit and was sitting in front of the desk wearing a shirt, whileHe was holding an electric fan while reviewing official documents, and was obviously sweating from the sultry August weather in Beidu. Seeing Xiaoqiang coming, the chairman put down his brush, stood up and said with a smile: "Xiaoqiang is here, come on, don't sit down yet, let me see you in military uniform." Xiaoqiang quickly stood up straight. The chairman looked up and down. After a while, he joked and said with a smile: "He looks pretty good, like a qualified soldier. Take off your coat, the weather is too hot. Hearing this, Xiaoqiang happily took off his stuffy green cotton uniform and said, "Chairman, why don't you turn on the air conditioner?" Isn¡¯t the air conditioner I brought last time already installed? The chairman waved his hand and said: "It's good to have an electric fan. Air conditioning is too wasteful. How good it would be to use thousands of watts of electricity for production!" I told them not to open it anywhere except the Prime Minister¡¯s West Flower Hall. We will wait until the new power plant in Beidu is built. "Xiaoqiang said in his heart, I guess the Prime Minister is not willing to give up. It seems that his own purchase is unnecessary again. The chairman seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled and said: "Xiaoqiang, I called you here to tell you a good thing. According to the news, the Soviet Union is very satisfied with its trade relations with us. Before, the Soviet Union asked us to purchase 5,000 tons of rubber. We gave him 10,000 tons of natural rubber purchased by you. The Soviet Union was very satisfied with the goods. Since the Korean War began, the United States implemented a comprehensive embargo of strategic materials, including rubber, against the Soviet Union and socialist countries including our country. The Soviet Union is currently very tight on rubber. It is very happy to see that we have solved 8,000 tons of rubber for it so quickly. We told our Soviet comrades that the rubber trend in Southeast Asia was rampant. As a result, Comrade Stalin issued a second purchase request very urgently, hoping that we could purchase 50,000 tons of rubber again, and that we could provide them with 20,000 tons of natural rubber every year in the future. The current price of natural rubber on the international market is US$0.88 per pound, which is equivalent to US$1.94 per kilogram. One ton costs nearly US$2,000. The 10,000 tons of natural rubber purchased from the Soviet Union were worth US$20 million! The purchase of 50,000 tons this time is equivalent to US$100 million. Seeing that the chairman was in high spirits, Xiaoqiang also smiled happily and said: "Chairman, this price can't last long. The United States is crazy about large-scale production of synthetic rubber factories. By 1953, the price of natural rubber dropped to 0.2 US dollars per pound, which is equal to A ton is only $450. However, the Soviet Union did not have front and rear vision, so it was impossible to know about this change. But our natural rubber price in 2011 was 34,000 per ton, which is equivalent to the current gold content of 120 US dollars. This business is not a loss. "The chairman pointed at Xiaoqiang and said: "It's too dark-hearted for you to just say it's not a loss for such a good business. Haha, after the delivery of this rubber, the US$100 million loan we owed the Soviet Union was completely repaid, and we made a net profit of more than US$20 million. " Xiaoqiang said worriedly: "But the key is that we haven't used up all the money we borrowed from the Soviet Union yet. Looks like we need to spend money faster. ¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Sincerely thank Dongdong Dao, lzc880210 for the reward! Thank you to all book friends for subscribing and supporting! Ask for red tickets!
