"But this is food supplies for other troops. We took away the food. What will they do?" his adjutant asked.
Wen Hao Give it to us!¡±
At this moment, a guard ran over and said loudly: "Brigade, Commander Xia Yang of the Fourth Independent Brigade is coming to see you."
"Who?" Wen Haoxuan asked doubtfully.
"Xia Yang, commander of the Fourth Independent Brigade." The guard repeated.
"Look, we're here!" Wen Haoxuan's adjutant said with some gloating.
Wen Haoxuan snorted coldly and said: "Xia Yang, a guy with no foundation can't do anything to me." After saying that, he followed the guard and walked towards the front door.
Xia Yang didn't wait too long before he saw the young Wen Haoxuan. He was surprised because this Wen Haoxuan was actually very young. He thought to himself, are all the top generals of the national army so cheap now? Anyone so young?
Seeing Xia Yang, Wen Haoxuan was equally surprised.
Because Xia Yang is younger than him, it stands to reason that he has become a brigade commander in his early thirties and is already very powerful. But Xia Yang looked like he was only in his twenties.
"Commander Xia, what's the matter?" Wen Haoxuan asked calmly.
Xia Yang knew that this man didn't intend to return the food when he saw that he didn't even want to shake hands with him.
"Where is the food?" Xia Yang said coldly.
"What kind of food?" Wen Haoxuan asked knowingly.
"The food given to us by the Logistics Department was snatched away by your 138th Brigade! Don't tell me, Brigadier Wen, because you don't know about this! And as far as I know, you have already pulled food from the Logistics Department once. Your brigade is not short of food at all. What do you mean by taking away our food this time? Aren't our local troops human beings?" Xia Yang asked.
Seeing Xia Yang's tough tone, Wen Haoxuan said slowly: "It's not that your local army is not a human being. It's just that comparing the combat effectiveness and equipment, you local army are indeed inferior to us.
When the time comes to the battlefield, you will be nothing more than cannon fodder! If you want to win the war, you have to rely on our direct troops of the Central Military Army! So there is nothing wrong with giving these grains to us! Should I give it to you so that you have enough strength to run away when you see the Japanese army? "
Hearing these words, Xia Yang smiled instead of being angry.
He walked up to Wen Haoxuan in a few steps, stared at the arrogant Wen Haoxuan with his eyes and said: "Commander Wen, remember what you just said, I want you to know that your 138th brigade dare to mention it in front of our 4th brigade. This thing about combat effectiveness is just a slap in the face!"
"What? Are you still planning to achieve any illustrious military exploits? Don't think about it. Your fire sticks and that ragtag group of people probably ran back with their tails between their legs just after they heard the little devil's mountain cannon." Wen Haoxuan said, "I have encountered this matter not once or twice. I can't count on you in a war."
Xia Yang said coldly: "Okay! Brigadier Wen, remember what you said today!" After saying that, he turned around and said to Xiao Yuebing: "Let's go!"
Xiao Yuebing asked in a low voice: "Brigade seat, what should I do with the food?"
Xia Yang got into the jeep, started the car without saying a word, and drove out of the city.
"Don't you see? They have no intention of returning it to us at all! This grandson knows that we have no power to cling to, and we suffer the loss of being dumb!" Xia Yang said angrily.
Xiao Yuebing said: "What should we do?"
??
With that said, he stepped on the accelerator and sped towards his camp.
The Xuzhou area is a famous grain-producing area, so there will be no shortage of food here.
But originally Xia Yang was able to receive food from the Logistics Department without having to pay out of his own pocket. Now that this matter has become a big deal, he has to spend his own money to buy grain from those merchants.
¡°In the final analysis, it¡¯s because he has no power to rely on in the Xuzhou area. So now I can only swallow my anger.
After returning to the camp, Xia Yang immediately organized his men to head to the grain market in Xuzhou City.
In fact, they are not the only troops buying food here.
Because in the long battle, no one can guarantee logistical supply. Once the troops run out of food, their soldiers will have no choice but to fight the Japanese hungry, so troops with a small amount of money will basically choose to buy more food.
It is precisely because of this that businessmen in Xuzhou began to take the opportunity to raise food prices.
These businessmen generally have their own power at the top levels of the Kuomintang Party and government departments, so these big-name soldiers dare not directly snatch their food, and can only obediently pay for it out of their own pockets and buy food from them.
??Looking at the carts of grain being transported away, and the price tags placed on the grain bags.
At this time, the price of food has doubled due to the speculation of these businessmen. This means that Xia Yang must spend twice as much money to buy the same amount of food.
Xia Yang has already suffered a loss once, and naturally he is not willing to suffer another loss this time.
At this time, He Changxing ran over from a distance and said to Xia Yang: "I have gone around the entire market now. Basically, the prices of food in every store are similar. These businessmen are so divided that it is difficult for the country to make money here. It is really Hateful.¡±
??
He Changxing, who knew some of the inside story, leaned into Xia Yang's ear and whispered: "Master, you don't know something. The power behind these businessmen is far deeper than we imagined. It is precisely because of the power behind them existence, that¡¯s why they dare to raise food prices here wantonly.¡±
Xia Yang vaguely understood something. At this time, it is estimated that only people from the four major families dare to do so regardless of the national danger and the price of food.
It¡¯s just that this kind of thing will become another way of saying it in the mouths of the four major families.
This is called changing from hiding wealth in the people to hiding wealth in the country. All the money of the people at the bottom will be put into his own hands, and even the military salary paid to the army will be returned to his own hands through this method.
¡°But how much of this money falls into private pockets? How much of it was actually used to fight the little devils is unknown.
