So, Ding Wei immediately said: "Old Deng, if this is the case, we will first support a batch of grain for the Eighth Route Army, and the amount of support is tentatively set at [-] tons."

  "Okay, I agree." Comrade Deng Wenping said happily.

  The rest of the people saw that Ding Wei supported the Eighth Route Army with [-] tons of grain at one time.

  Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the chief of the general staff, was even more happy: "Commander-in-chief, with these grains, I think the future of the Eighteenth Army will be much better. At the same time, we must report our support for grain to the central government. Row."

  "Okay, I'll see, I will send a report to the Central Committee early tomorrow morning." Ding Wei immediately stated his position. .

Chapter 396

  Today's banquet didn't go away until nearly [-]:[-]. In the end, except for Ding Wei, everyone was a little drunk, and everyone was very happy this time.

  When everyone was about to break up, Ding Wei said, "The shopkeeper, check out, how much is the total."

  Without waiting for the shopkeeper's answer, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the general staff, hurriedly said: "Commander-in-chief, why do you have the nerve to ask you to pay for it? I agreed to pay the bill."

  Ding Wei smiled and said, "Old Zuo, let me do it. Who asked me to sit on the main seat today."

  Seeing that Ding Wei was joking again, everyone laughed happily.

  When the two were still insisting on who should pay, the shopkeeper of the restaurant hurriedly said: "Chiefs, don't insist any longer, this meal will be treated by the small shop. Bi Shenghui is a great honor for the small shop, how can the chief pay for it himself."

  "That won't work!" Ding Wei and Zuo Qingquan immediately objected to the shopkeeper's words.

  In the end, it was Ding Wei who paid for it. Now Ding Wei is not short of these dozens of oceans, and the left chief of staff's money should be kept to help others.Ding Wei knows about the fact that the Chief of Staff of the Left uses nearly half of his military salary to help those poor people every month...

  Yan'an.

  Just after breakfast, the leader, the commander-in-chief, and the deputy leader Wu were discussing some matters in the leader's cave. At present, the telegram of the Eighteenth Army has been placed on the leader's desk.

  Now, the Eighteenth Group Army has opened up a lot of bases in North China, but as the Anti-Japanese War entered the stage of strategic stalemate, the little devils implemented the cage policy in North China and carried out repeated sweeps of the bases. Now, the Eighteenth Army's Development has come to a relatively difficult period.

  Although the current situation is much better than in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighteenth Group Army has a total number of nearly 30 troops, but as the number of troops increases, the demand for weapons, ammunition, food, clothing, etc. also increases accordingly.

  At present, apart from a limited amount of international aid, there is only support from the [-]th Army, but these aids are still far from the real needs.

  As the chief in charge of the Eighteenth Group Army and a member of the three-person military team of the Central Committee, the commander-in-chief is also relatively clear about the situation of the Eighth Route Army, and now he is frowning and thinking about countermeasures.

  The three discussed for a long time. The initial plan is to prepare another round of hard, simple, diligent and thrifty campaign, calling on everyone to work together, save every grain of food, save every bullet, and let everyone spend this period together.By next year, when the spring wheat harvest is in full swing, the situation could be much better.

  During the discussion between the three, Deputy Head Wu even proposed to take part of the limited funds from the central government to purchase a batch of food on the market, but this proposal was quickly rejected by the head.

  Now, because it is a period of war and the winter is about to start, the price of grain in the market is also rising again and again. For example, the price of wheat has risen from 10 yuan per 15 catties in summer to nearly [-] yuan now. .

  At present, the funds of the central government are also relatively tight. If Ding Wei did not support 10 oceans every month, it might be stretched.

  Seeing that his proposal was rejected by the leader, Deputy Leader Wu said with a little worry: "Master, then our food shortage may be difficult to solve, and the ammunition is better. As long as there is no major war, we rely on the [-]th Army Group. The support from the arsenal in the border area and the production of the arsenal in the border area can still basically cope with '~."

  Hearing this, the leader thought for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "It seems that we are going to fight the [-]th Army. The [-]th Army has just won a big victory, and there should be a lot of things captured. ."

  The leader's guess was correct. The 60th Army Group annihilated the tens of thousands of little devils in Guisui, and the weapons and ammunition seized were not few. Among them, there were more than [-] Type [-] rifles and more than [-] machine guns with crooked handles. , more than [-] Type [-] heavy machine guns, more than [-] Type [-] infantry guns, more than [-] [-]mm mortars, more than [-] grenade launchers, more than [-] million rounds of various bullets, various Twenty or thirty thousand shells.

  In addition, [-] or [-] sets of military uniforms of the little devil were also seized, many of which were thick cotton uniforms, more than [-] quilts, more than [-] horses, [-] to [-] tons of grain, and a lot of gold and ocean. , as well as some antique calligraphy and paintings that the little devils scavenged.

  The commander-in-chief and the deputy head of Wu were also bright when they saw the head say so. Both of them believed that it might be a good choice to hit Ding Wei's idea.

  Just as the three were discussing how to speak to Ding Wei, one of the head guard's bodyguards, holding a telegram, reported loudly at the cave door: "Master, the thirty-sixth group has just sent a telegram."

  Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, thinking to themselves, as soon as the [-]th Army Group was mentioned, Ding Wei sent a telegram. It seems, don't think about how to speak to Ding Wei, the things you need will be delivered to your door automatically. .

  So, the leader said loudly: "Little devil, come in, let me see what telegram is."

  After receiving the telegram, the leader looked at it seriously, and after reading it, the leader passed the telegram to the commander-in-chief and deputy leader Wu for circulation.

  Seeing the two read it, the leader said with a smile on his face: "Comrade Ding Wei is really good, he explained the seizure situation clearly, and the telegram also said that all the seized items should be turned over to the central government and the [-]th Army Group. Not at all."

  Although Deputy Head Wu had little dealings with Ding Wei, he was still very moved when he saw this telegram: "Master, Comrade Ding Wei is really a good comrade, and he has a very strong sense of the overall situation. Take the initiative to hand over all the seized items."

  Hearing this, the leader was also very happy and praised again: "Comrade Ding Wei is not bad. Having a good comrade like Ding Wei is a blessing for our entire party and our entire army."

  The commander-in-chief may be the happiest when he sees the telegram. At this time, the commander-in-chief's furrowed brows are all stretched out, replaced by a smile on his face, and the telegram in his hand is reluctant to let go.

  After a long time, the commander-in-chief said happily: "Sir, with these things captured by the Thirty-sixth Army Group, all our problems have been solved. The troops of tens of thousands of people have been further expanded, and our base has been further consolidated.

  Among these seized materials, there are still a lot of gold and silver, more than [-] kilograms of gold, nearly one million in the ocean, in addition, there are a lot of antique jade and calligraphy and painting, with these things, our central finance, In the past few months, it has become more comfortable. "

  Deputy Head Wu also continued: "." This time, Comrade Ding Wei and the [-]th Group Army have made such a great contribution to the Central Committee, we have to express it well and reward them well."

  Hearing this, the leader also said happily: "That is to be rewarded well, but let's talk about how to reward it better?"

  Yes, how can the reward be better?The commander-in-chief and Deputy Head Wu thought to themselves.At present, Ding Wei's position in the army is already very high. As the commander-in-chief of the group army, he is almost comparable to the commander-in-chief. Ding Wei's position in the army can definitely enter the top five.

  If there are material rewards, it will be even more useless. The [-]th Army Group is currently lacking everything, food and clothing, weapons and ammunition are very sufficient, and they can also support the center.

  After thinking about it for a while, the commander-in-chief suddenly brightened his eyes and thought of a good solution, so he suggested: "Sir, Comrade Ding Wei, who was a member of the Central Committee last year, I suggest,

  At present, there are the North China Bureau and the South Bureau. The secretary of the North China Bureau is concurrently the commander-in-chief, and the secretary of the South Bureau is concurrently the deputy head of Wu (Hao Zhao Zhao). The Central Committee has not yet established the Northwest Bureau. It is absolutely necessary to establish the Northwest Bureau.

  The leader's proposal, the commander-in-chief and the deputy leader Wu naturally agreed with their hands.

  A few days later, a plenary meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee was held in Yan'an. The meeting passed a resolution to add Comrade Baiwei to the Central Committee and decided to establish the Northwest Bureau, with Ding Wei serving as the secretary of the Northwest Bureau.

  A few days later, Ding Wei, who knew the decision of the central government, was also very happy. He thought in his heart that with the gradual improvement of his position in the party, his influence will gradually increase in the future, and he hopes to affect the correct development direction of the party in the future. Avoid some mistakes...

  When the three leaders were discussing Ding Wei's affairs in the cave, Ding Wei was also busy at this time. Ding Wei was negotiating with the little devil's North China Front Army about the exchange of the little devil's general's body.

  After two or three hours of telegram exchanges, the two sides finally agreed to negotiate in the eastern suburbs of Daping Town. Ding Wei's quotation in the telegram was 600 million oceans, and he paid the money and the people, but the little devil in the telegram, There was no explicit response to the offer, but said more details would be discussed at the meeting. .

Chapter 397

  The so-called sky-high asking price, sitting on the ground to pay back the money.Originally, Ding Wei thought the price was two or three million oceans, but before the negotiation, he would definitely open his mouth and double the price.

  If the opening was [-] million oceans at the beginning, maybe I could only get more than [-] million oceans in the end. If I opened up [-] million oceans, the little devil thinks that Ding Wei's bottom line should not be low, so in the end, the The price of three or four million oceans is completely possible.

  Two days later, there was another gentleman.

  Outside Daping Town, more than ten kilometers to the east, a few days ago, this was a battlefield. Now, this is the place where Ding Wei and the little devil negotiated. However, the bomb craters on the ground here are still clearly visible, not far away. On a hilltop, the vegetation was severely damaged.

  A few days ago, this hill was blown down by two or three meters by the artillery regiment of the Second Infantry Division. The big pits on the hill looked a bit shocking. Fortunately, after a few days, the place was cleaned up. The messy little devil corpses were collected by the soldiers and buried collectively.

  On a few hills not far away, many soldiers of the Second Infantry Division and some local people are building fortifications there. Two or three kilometers eastward along the foot of the hill is the place where China and Japan will negotiate.

  Beside the road, on an open flat ground, several large field tents were temporarily set up. On one side of the tents, there were twenty or thirty large trucks and several off-road vehicles parked. Many soldiers with guns.

  On the trucks, there were also a few corpses tightly wrapped in white cloth. These were the corpses of the little devil generals that were exchanged. Since these corpses had been stored for several days, at this time, there was still a faint smell. The stench of 380's corpse can be smelled more than ten meters away.

  In the tent, Ding Wei had already arrived there early. Today, the time agreed by the two parties is ten o'clock in the morning, and it is less than twenty minutes before ten o'clock.

  This time, Ding Wei is going to negotiate with the little devils in person. Deng Wei, the director of the General Political Department, Comrade Deng Wenping, is also coming to negotiate with Ding Wei. Behind Ding Wei, there are more than a dozen sturdy special forces. Captain Liu Xing was standing behind Ding Wei.

  A few minutes later, Ding Wei looked at his watch, his brows wrinkled again, thinking to himself, the little devil is too slow, it is almost ten o'clock, and there is no trace of the little devil, when Be sure to raise the price a bit, it is the waiting fee paid by the little devil.

  Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department next to him, saw that there was no sign of the little devil, and said with a little worry: "Commander-in-chief, the little devil will not be able to afford the money, let's let our pigeons go."

  "Certainly not."

  Ding Wei knows that the little devils will not miss the appointment. The little devils take their face too seriously, and such a shameless thing will definitely not play any tricks. After negotiating here at ten o'clock, it will definitely be will come.

  Everyone waited for a few more minutes. There was a rumble of cars on the road outside. The little devil's team finally stepped on the point. This time, the little devil sent a negotiating team headed by Lieutenant General Nishio Suzaku. There is a little devil major general and several little devil's subordinate officers.

  Nishio Shouzao's team consisted of more than [-] trucks and brought about a squadron of little devils. However, this time, Ding Wei did not plan to clean up these little devils, and there will be opportunities in the future.

  And, for safety, when negotiating by telegram, the little devil repeatedly confirmed whether negotiating in the eastern suburbs of Daping Town would threaten the safety of their negotiating team. In the telegram, Ding Wei also said that he would not. threaten their safety.

  Nishio Suzaku and a group of more than a dozen people came to the tent under the guidance of several special forces.As for the other little devils and their trucks, they stayed tens of meters away from the tent.

  Ding Wei saw the little devils coming in, and sat in the seat to look at the little devils. He saw that the leader was a lieutenant general of the little devils, which was the Nishio Suzaku that the little devils said in the telegram.

  The little devils and his party sat down on the other side of the negotiating table. The little devils all had serious expressions on their faces. Some of the little devils even had a bitter face. This negotiation was not good for the little devils. The errand, if it wasn't for Okamura Neji's order, many little devils wouldn't want to come.

  Seeing that everyone was seated, Comrade Deng Wenping, one of the masters, said, "Hello, let me introduce you. This is our commander-in-chief Ding. Today, our commander-in-chief Ding will be in charge of negotiating with you."

  As soon as Comrade Deng Wenping finished speaking, the little devil translator immediately began to translate eagerly. Hearing that the person opposite was the commander-in-chief of the [-]th Army Group, Nishio Suzaku was shocked.

  Nishio Shouzo had seen Ding Wei's photo. The hi-tech team of the little devils collected some Ding Wei's information and photos, and sent the incomplete information to Nishio Shouzo's desk. superior.

  Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief of the famous [-]th Army Group was actually so young, at least several years younger than what he looked like in the photo. Although he was very shocked, Nishio Suzaku still didn't show it on his face.

  However, I heard that the commander-in-chief of the Thirty-sixth Group was sitting opposite. Nishio Suzaku stood up with all the little devils and bowed to Ding Wei to salute.

  Seeing the little devil's actions, Comrade Deng Wenping was about to stand up and return the salute, but seeing that Ding Wei had no intention of standing up, he just got up and sat down.

  Ding Wei is not ready to return the salute to the little devils, the little devils bowed down to salute him, it does not mean that the little devils admire you in their hearts, the little devils are a very strange and insidious nation, he can bow to you in person and salute, You can stab you in the back without hesitation.

  Seeing that the little devils were all seated, Ding Wei was not going to waste time going around in circles, but said straight to Nishio Shou: "Have you brought your ocean? I don't want to waste time with you either. The price is 600 million ocean. We have brought the corpses you need."

  Comrade Deng Wenping next to him began to admire Ding Wei a little. When Ding Wei said that when he said 600 million oceans, he did not even change his expression. For two million oceans, the price more than doubled in one fell swoop.

  When the little devil finished the translation, Nishio Shouzo's face was very ugly, and his heart was very angry, but this is Ding Wei's territory, Nishio Shouzo dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

  Therefore, Nishio Shouzo had to say: "Commander-in-chief Ding, we still have to talk about the price. 600 million oceans are beyond our ability to bear."

  "Joke, you guys are looting so much money in the Celestial Dynasty, and you will still be short of 600 million oceans." Ding Wei was very upset, and immediately said in Japanese.

  Nishio Shouzo was very surprised when he saw that Ding Wei could speak Japanese and how fluently he spoke it. The little devil general behind Nishio Shouzo was also secretly happy. I heard that Ding Wei said 600 when he opened his mouth. Wan Dayang, the very angry little devil Major General was going to whisper a few words in Japanese.

  In addition to being surprised, Nishio Shouzo was also very helpless. If Ding Wei insisted on 600 million oceans, it would be more troublesome. This time Nishio Shouzo only brought 300 million oceans, in addition to about 200 million oceans. of gold.

  In desperation, Nishio Shouzo had to soften his tone and pleaded a little: "Commander-in-chief Ding, to be honest, we didn't bring so many oceans this time, our hearts can afford 500 million oceans, I hope this price can make you satisfy."

  Hearing Nishio Shouzo's words, Ding Wei felt happy in his heart. He didn't expect that the little devil would pay 500 million yuan. However, on the surface, Ding Wei still pretended to be very angry and said very angrily: "In the telegram, I repeatedly The statement is 600 million oceans, and you only brought 500 million oceans, so I have to detain a body."

  When Ding Wei said this, Xiwei Shouzao became anxious, and immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Ding Wei, and pleaded, "Commander-in-chief Ding, I hope you will raise your hand."

  Seeing Nishio Suzaku's face full of pleading, Ding Wei couldn't help but smile lightly, and then said, "I won't embarrass you too much, I'll make one more step, Wan Dayang."

  Hearing this, Nishio Shouzo almost wanted to cry, "Commander-in-chief Ding, we really only brought 500 million oceans here, and the ocean is only 300 million, and the rest is gold worth 200 million oceans, time is too rushed, We can't raise so many oceans right away."

  The little devil is telling the truth. 500 million oceans is not a small amount. If it is loaded by trucks, it will take more than a dozen large trucks. From the time Ding Wei sent the report to the little devil, it took only two days to negotiate. It is difficult to raise so much current ocean.

  There is a lot of silver and gold looted by the army in North China, but a lot of them are not stored in Peiping. The current ocean in Peiping is only 300 million oceans, and the other is gold.

  Looking at Nishio Shouzo, who was crying and mournful, Ding Wei thought to himself, the little devil may not lie, maybe he really only brought 500 million oceans here, but Ding Wei didn't want to let these little devils go so soon, Ding Wei's heart moved , and immediately had an idea. .
