Chapter 507: Transport to War Zone 1
In fact, what Li Xianshu said was absolutely correct.
Most of China's railways from south to north have fallen into the hands of the Japanese, but there are still some places that the Japanese cannot take care of.
Chen Yang's transportation network was able to operate unimpeded. In addition to helping the Japanese army, he also delivered supplies to the Red Party and the Kuomintang army.
It was just a gift secretly, and everyone turned a blind eye.
Therefore, when General Nishio heard that the supplies shipped to Guangzhou were tightly blocked by the National Government’s army, his expression looked so surprised.
You know, the previous route could go directly to Guangzhou, but it had to pass through the Ninth War Zone and the Fourth War Zone.
If Chen Yang had not secretly had business dealings with the Ninth War Zone, how could Xue Boling have allowed his supply truck to go to Guangzhou.
As for materials, they are money only when they flow.
Although these things are not put on the surface, everyone knows them tacitly.
After all, everyone knows that working in the transportation industry in this era is not about fighting and killing, it is all about human relationships and worldly wisdom.
If you want to stay on this web, you have to follow the rules, otherwise, you will fall off and die...
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Xiaotong Bridge, Tianxiang Pavilion.
"Master Jiu, long time no see..." In the box, Zhou Guangxi greeted Gao Tianjiu with a smile.
Gao Tianjiu, however, snorted heavily, looking as if he didn't want to talk to him.
"Master Jiu, what's wrong with you? Who offended you?" Zhou Guangxi found the other party's attitude a little strange.
"Adjutant Zhou, let's not beat around the bush," Gao Tianjiu panted, "When you started the war, didn't I tell you not to take the railway?"
"Your Dongling thief blew up the Pinghan Line and Longhai Railway without asking any questions, making it impossible to deliver supplies to the Second War Zone."
"You know how much money we lost on this trip."
"General Sun is also following orders." Zhou Guangxi patted Gao Tianjiu on the shoulder and said, "Old Nine, we can't do it too blatantly."
"You have to put in some superficial effort. Besides, I'm here to give you money today."
"Look." Zhou Guangxi took out a receipt from Zhejiang Merchants Bank from his briefcase.
Gao Tianjiu glanced at the number on the receipt, and his anger and disdain disappeared instantly, replaced by a flattering smile.
"As expected of Commander Jiang's adjutant, your style is different. Boss, serve the banquet."
That’s right, this Zhou Guangxi was the commander of the First War Zone and Commander Chiang’s adjutant, specifically in charge of purchasing military supplies.
Commander Chiang is the head of the First War Zone, Commander Chiang Ting-wen.
This commander is no ordinary man.
He was a "double-talented" senior general in the National Army. He had a lot of good reputations within the Kuomintang Army.
One of the "Top Three", one of the "Five Tiger Generals" most respected by the principal, and also known as one of Minister He's "Eight Vajras".
He even has the nickname of Flying General, which is comparable to Li Guang.
Commander Chiang was born in Zhuji, Zhejiang Province, and graduated from Zhejiang Army Academy in his early years.
He participated in the campaign against Chen Jiongming, the Northern Expedition, the Chiang-Gui War, the Chiang-Feng-Yan War, the third and fifth "encirclement and suppression" campaigns against the Red Party, and took part in suppressing the Fujian Incident.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served successively as commander-in-chief of the 4th Army Group, director of the Xi'an Headquarters and commander-in-chief of the th War Zone.
He is now also the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone.
His first war zone was stationed in Henan, which belonged to the North China battlefield. Under his command were General Sun, the great thief of Dongling, and other powerful generals such as Wei Lihuang, and his strength was extraordinary.
The maid of Tianxiang Pavilion set the table for banquet. Zhou Guangxi and Gao Tianjiu raised their glasses and clinked them together.
After drinking two cups, Zhou Guangxi took out a list and handed it to Gao Tianjiu, saying, "Master Jiu, this is the list of materials purchased this time. The funds have been deposited in Zhejiang Merchants Bank. Please prepare the materials as soon as possible."
Gao Tianjiu took the order, looked at it, and said with a smile: "No problem, as usual, it will be delivered within a week."
"However, you can't play tricks this time. Last time, the Ninth War Zone didn't even say hello and directly robbed the supply truck halfway."
"If this happens again, it will be very difficult for our boss to deal with it."
Zhou Guangxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already said hello, so I'll make sure the journey is smooth."
The material trading network woven by Chen Yang has very strict trading rules.
Usually, the buyer will open an account in Ye Zhengxian’s Zhejiang Merchants Bank and deposit the transaction funds into it.
After getting the transaction receipt, go to Xiaotong Bridge to get the transaction list.
Generally speaking, as long as the funds enter Zhejiang Commercial Bank, Ye Zhengxian has a way to launder them reasonably, and there is no problem at all.
Moreover, in order to serve customers, as long as the funds enter the bank, Xiaotongqiao will pay the full amount even if an accident occurs in the middle.
With such a strong reputation here, the military logistics officers are naturally willing to cooperate with them.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Zhou Guangxi seemed to remember something, and approached Gao Tianjiu and said, "Master Jiu, have you ever heard of a foreign medicine called Xilin?"
Gao Tianjiu was slightly surprised and asked, "Penicillin?"
"Yes, yes, that's the name." Zhou Guangxi's tongue was hoarse from drinking, but he still remembered the name.
"Why is Adjutant Zhou asking this?" Gao Tianjiu asked curiously.
Zhou Guangxi sighed and said, "Commander He was accidentally hit in the thigh by a stray bullet when he was blocking the Japanese cavalry brigade reinforcements from Dangshan to Kaifeng."
"I have been lying in the hospital for several days, and the current anti-inflammatory drugs such as sulfa do not seem to be fully effective."
"Commander Jiang's chief of staff Zeng is a top student who studied in the UK. He has a friend who heard that the UK has developed a new drug called Xilin, which is very effective in reducing inflammation."
"This kind of thing has never been seen in the entire Shanghai market. If it exists, I guess only the people in your Xiaotongqiao have it."
"I'm just asking. If we don't get this medicine within a week, Commander He's leg won't be saved."
So that's how it is. Gao Tianjiu took a sip of his wine and said, "This medicine does exist, but it's very expensive."
Zhou Guangxi immediately became excited when he heard this. "What price? Could it be more expensive than gold?"
Gao Tianjiu smiled and gestured with two fingers.
"Two small yellow croakers? That's not expensive." Zhou Guangxi was obviously a little surprised.
"Two small yellow croakers, Adjutant Zhou, are you kidding me?"
Gao Tianjiu said seriously: "Two large yellow croakers per bottle, and I estimate that it will take at least two bottles."
Huh? Hearing this price, Zhou Guangxi almost sobered up.
One large yellow croaker costs three hundred dollars. Two large yellow croakers come in a bottle, and you need two bottles. What kind of medicine is so expensive?
