Rebirth of the National Marshal

"And there is the jeep that you like, Third Young Master. I didn't have the right to own it before, and I offended you a lot. Now Captain Zhao is here, and he has the power. I'll let you park these two jeeps here. Otherwise, you can find a suitable place for me to park, so as not to disturb everyone coming in and out." After hearing this, the young master of the Zhao family felt embarrassed. He had wanted to drive this jeep before, but at that time he didn't have the power, and it was also because Zhao Shan should be the one to take on this role.

"Come back if you want, girl. Grandpa doesn't blame you anymore. But you still bought so many things and spent money indiscriminately. You should know that the country is in crisis now. Even if your pilot salary is higher, you can't buy so many things. These two jeeps are very expensive." Zhao Shan's father said.

But he knew the current value of these two jeeps. There were many people in Nanjing who were willing to pay big bucks to buy these jeeps. Unfortunately, such things were only available in the United States. Apart from the United States, only people in Chahar had them. There were not enough jeeps for military use in Chahar, so how could they be brought here to sell? Only when encountering some difficult situations would the Chahar office send the jeeps back as gifts, and the chance of that happening was very small.

He didn't expect that his family had two jeeps. This also made Zhao Shan's father feel proud. Several brothers in the family served as high-ranking officials in the party and the country, but whose daughter could bring you two jeeps?

"This is not..." Miss Zhao wanted to say that these two jeeps were not bought by me. Although the pilot's salary is very high, it is still far from enough to buy two jeeps. These were sent by their superiors, but no one listened to her explanation. Several children in the family had already run to the jeeps. This kind of thing is in short supply nowadays.

Old Master Zhao nodded. It seemed that his granddaughter was living a good life over there. He was not an old fogey. Although he loved his children very much, the country was in crisis and everyone should pick up a gun to defend the country. His granddaughter was a pilot who graduated from the United States and had very good skills. Although he was worried that something might happen to her, other people's children could go to the battlefield for the sake of the country, so why couldn't my child go?

"Sister, please come and take a look. This kind of chocolate is so valuable. It costs 50 dollars each in the department store over there. How come you have so many American products like this? It seems that the store has sold them out. And there is also this kind of chewing gum. I really want to eat it." Zhao Shan's little cousin said with a smile. Children are of course closer to food.

"All you do every day is eat, drink and have fun. You are nothing like I was back then. Sometimes you should learn more from your sister and become a pilot too." Old Master Zhao scolded with a smile.

The family carried the gifts into the house with smiles on their faces.

"Captain Zhao, I will go back first. Here is my phone number. There is someone on duty 24 hours a day. You can call me if you have any questions. Here is a promissory note from the Central Bank of the Ocean for 2000 yuan, and 200 yuan in French francs in change. The commander asked me to send it here. I'll leave these two barrels of gasoline to you. Energy control is being implemented in Nanjing City now." Datou seized the opportunity and handed a small package to Captain Zhao. This was also what his superiors told him to do. He absolutely wanted Zhao Shan to feel the warmth of the organization towards him.

It's true, our eldest daughter of the Zhao family was actually a little grateful to the man with the naughty smile for coming. She would have invited him to her home for dinner earlier. She didn't expect that she was at the front line and his family took such good care of her. Seeing her brothers and sisters unpacking the packages so skillfully, it must not be the first time they have eaten these things. As her uncle said just now, these things cost at least several thousand dollars, not to mention the two jeeps?

"Xiao Shan, your uncle is almost killed by curiosity. I'm wondering, how come your Chahar, a place where even birds were unwilling to go, can produce so many things now? We in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation have been talking to the Americans, but they are unwilling to give us more assistance. But look at the semi-automatic rifles you are using, which the Americans don't even have yet, yet you have so many of them? What's more, your food and drinks, such as Coca-Cola, are still being transported, and the quantity has not decreased." The uncle who works in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation is really puzzled.

When the young uncle asked this question, the children who were playing just now stopped. They also wanted to know how Chahar was made and how there were so many American goods. They were all educated and knew the distance between Americans and here.

In peacetime, it would take one or two months for a shipload of goods to arrive from the United States, let alone during the war. Because of the Japanese blockade, it would have to travel a longer distance. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation has also stopped trading with the Americans. Now, not to mention Coca-Cola, even American flour will not be exported here.

Because the Americans did not want to fall out with the Japanese yet, the people in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation understood this, so they did not argue with the Americans and went directly to the Chahar Office in Nanjing to get some of the things they needed. They did not expect that they could really make it. Just like the Coca-Cola used in high-end banquets, they brought it in truckloads, and did not do what the Americans said, that it could not be transported in.

"If you only have American stuff, I think your chairman may have a good relationship with the Americans. But you also have a lot of German goods. As far as I know, the 30 or so 150mm howitzers that landed in Guangzhou this time were purchased from you. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs talked to the Germans until their lips were worn out, but they only sent half of them. And because they were worried about the Japanese, they didn't send the last batch. Americans and Germans are hard to get along with in this world. How did your provincial chairman do it to have German and American stuff under his command? It really puzzles me." My aunt, who worked in the munitions department, knew a little more than others.

The 150mm Krupp heavy artillery can be said to be a secret among secrets, but those who want to transport it to Chahar must know about it. If even they don’t know about it, then it can only be transported there by air.

Their questions made Miss Zhao at a loss as to how to answer. Even if he knew, she could not answer in front of her loved ones. This involved a confidentiality system, but the problem was that he didn't know now, and had no idea where these things came from.
