Chapter 329 Silver Bill


Because Jiang Li contained the Sichuan Army's troops that had originally surrendered to suppress the red forces, and directly defeated them, the red forces also made great progress in the northeastern Sichuan region.

At the last moment of the suppression of the Communist Party, the red forces' Sichuan-Shaanxi base areas developed and expanded.

It caused great concern in Nanjing.

At this time, Sun Dianying was afraid of the power of the 15th Route Army and gave up his plan to cross the Yellow River south.

The Sichuan Army alone could not threaten this booming new force in Gansu.

Yang Hucheng was also very resistant to the central army's entry into Shaanxi to suppress bandits.

In response, even Nanjing had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​further suppression after the defeat of the Sichuan army.

Under Kong Xiangxi's various maneuvers, Jiang Li and Liu Xiang held a meeting in Pingchuan.

After determining the initial sphere of influence of both parties, Jiang Li had the right to build his own roads in northern Sichuan.

But the construction of the railway to Chengdu was still shelved by Liu Xiang.

As for the original military compensation, Liu Xiang naturally had no money, let alone tens of millions in compensation.

Only twelve counties in northern Sichuan were assigned to Jiang Li's 15th Route Army.

These dozen counties alone have millions of people, almost as much as half of Gansu Province.

What's more, after establishing a foothold in northern Sichuan, Jiang Li can use this bridgehead to continuously absorb young people to fill the labor gap in the northwest.

After being unable to obtain greater benefits, Mazhuang Sichuan North Cluster officially retreated to more than a hundred miles north of Deyang.

At the same time, construction of two highways from Gansu to northern Sichuan has begun.

In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, apart from the internal war, the relationship with Japan was relatively peaceful.

Because the war in northern Sichuan exceeded the consumption budget, the northwest's finances were drained a lot last year.

The military expansion plan originally planned for the first half of the year Had to postpone.

Feng Zhanhai asked this question.

Wang Tiehan and others mentioned it to Jiang Li more than once.

Because the previous construction tasks were too large.

The subsequent funds invested still exceeded Jiang Li's expectations.

The funds originally invested in agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, and grain reserves could not be used.

Due to successive military disasters in Sichuan, and the impact of natural disasters, this year began to erupt, and a large number of refugees poured into northern Sichuan and Gansu.

Rescue and resettlement of these victims also takes up a lot of funds, and almost all of Hua Qian Group's profits are invested in this aspect.

Seeing that a large amount of income could not fall into his own pocket.

Jiang Li, who was accustomed to spending money lavishly, also tasted the bitter consequences of lack of money.

The time lasts until June.

As a traditional major country that produces silver, American capital controls 66% of the world's silver production and 77% of its silver smelting.

See Wang Xi 1992. , but the silver industry does not occupy a very important position in the U.S. economy.

According to data from 1934, the output value of silver that year was only US$32 million, which was less than the output value of peanuts and potatoes, and even less than the output value of wheat and cotton.

However, silver production is concentrated in the seven western states of Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Montana, Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico.

But it is very important, and senators from these seven silver-producing states control 17 votes in the Senate.

The so-called silver group siverboc is formed with legislators from these states, especially those from the Democratic Party, as well as producers of copper, lead, zinc and other by-products that use silver as a by-product.

The U.S. government and politicians have found that the only way to please the silver group is to please them.

Only then can other policies or bills be passed smoothly.

In order to pass a series of bills related to the New Economic Policy, President Roosevelt also needed the support of the Silver Group, and partially condoned the activities of the Silver Group.

The famous Silver Senator Pittman was the chairman of the U.S.

Senate Foreign Affairs Committee at the time.

He once declared that if President Roosevelt did not increase subsidies to silver producers, he would ask the Senate not to vote on the "neutrality law." , the Silver Acquisition Act passed in June 1934 marked the culmination of the Silver Group's lobbying activities.

Considering that increasing the purchasing power of silver will allow the backward Republic of China to use limited funds to buy more weapons to resist Japan, which is gradually losing control and wants to dominate the entire East Asia, from this aspect, it is also in line with the United States Far East strategy.

These combined factors combined to ultimately lead to the passage of the Silver Act.

As the rich man in the United States began to accumulate silver, the international silver price suddenly surged forward, sweeping away the previous decline.

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the Silver Bill was finally passed.

He had been preparing for several years just for this moment.

In the early stage, he prepared more than 50 million U.S. dollars in reserves, and subsequently obtained revolving mortgage loans from banks, plus part of the investment from the Huaxi Group.

At this time, Feng Yong's accumulation of silver had reached an impressive level.

To a jaw-dropping degree.

Due to the good pattern established previously, in the early days of the passage of the Silver Act, silver was still purchased at an alarming rate.

The wealth controlled by Feng Yong expanded to an extremely alarming level in a short period of time.

"Commander, is this true?"

Zang Shiyi, known as the money bag of the 15th Route Army, repeated in a sleepy voice when he saw the funds transferred from various Haiwa accounts.

With this sentence.

"It's true, it couldn't be truer, it couldn't be truer.

Start the Northwest Rise Plan immediately.

These hundreds of millions of dollars must be put into practice as much as possible.

Within three to five years, the infrastructure of the northwest must be Industrial production capacity has been increased by several levels."

Jiang Li looked at Zang Shiyi with a look of great surprise.

According to the data reported by Feng Yong, through the circular mortgage, it is conservatively estimated that a huge profit of 360 million US dollars can be directly obtained this time.

In addition to the original principal, after the silver in hand is sold one after another, the funds returned will be Reaching a staggering US$410 million.

In this day and age, such a large amount of cash is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

"Commander, don't worry.

If you invest such a large amount of money, you will be able to see a brand new northwest."

Zang Shiyi assured.

"Well, road construction, petroleum, steel, electricity, sulfuric acid, automobiles, tractors, you and Chairman Shao each take charge of these industries."

Jiang Li nodded.

He was relieved to hand over the industry to Zang Shiyi and Shao Lizi.

In terms of arms, the production capacity needs to be doubled at least once or twice.

Although the military industry system previously established in the northwest has begun to take shape, most weapons can already be produced on their own.

Jiang Li has already produced, but there are still many weak links in the entire industrial chain.

Whether it is the purchase of machinery or the introduction of talents, Jiang Li thinks there are considerable deficiencies.

With this injection of cardiotonic, the production of guns and artillery in the northwest will be Jumping up a few levels will lay a solid foundation for the War of Resistance.

As for the manufacturing of aircraft and tanks that were originally very lacking, it will also be greatly strengthened.

If these hundreds of millions of dollars are spent, the future war of resistance will never happen again like the eight-year tragedy in history:
