Chapter 87: Confidence
Dai Jiliang was contentedly playing with the various advantages of the beauty in front of him, teasing her who had just reached orgasm a moment ago and made her gasp for breath again.
Of course, Dai Jiliang's complacency was justified. It was not because of his supreme status in half of China, nor because he had cleanly eliminated Yang Hucheng's group a few days ago, but because he was satisfied with his physical condition.
That's right, he is fifty-six or fifty-seven years old. In this time and space, most people are already old and skinny, waiting to die, but he is still able to be vigorous and energetic bring all kinds of beauties to the peak of happiness with great pleasure.
"Godfather, no more, good godfather, please spare your daughter."
The woman moaned and became excited, and then, not wanting to be outdone, she teased the man back, and the fierce battle began again until one of them completely admitted defeat.
"Godfather, you are so bad."
After a long time, the woman, who had recovered her breath, leaned in Dai Jiliang's arms and hummed softly.
"It ruined my daughter."
"Who was it that kept asking for more just now? What's wrong? Now that you're full, you're turning the tables and blaming me."
While Dai Jiliang was flirting with the women, he gently caressed their necks, earrings and other sensitive parts to slow down their climax. It wasn't that he wanted to do it three times, but it was a habitual training. After all, when Dai Jiliang took their virginity, it was mostly because of his power. But power cannot eliminate humiliation and bad feelings, so Dai Jiliang needs to constantly conquer their bodies in order to conquer their minds and hearts.
"Godfather will be completely drained by you this time." It is hard to say whether Dai Jiliang's idea is correct, but under his training, many goddaughters and female secretaries have been aroused at the sight of Dai Jiliang, and have devoted their bodies to him regardless of his age. The woman who finally recovered her breath laid her graceful body completely on Dai Jiliang, and put her head close to Dai Jiliang's ear, talking about what had happened around her in the past few days and how she felt when waiting for Dai Jiliang. As she spoke, she didn't know how she said this: "Godfather, my daughter saw a sable coat imported from the Soviet Union in the Xi'an department store a few days ago. It cost more than 3,000 yuan." The woman kept chattering in Dai Jiliang's ear, but Dai Jiliang's mind was nowhere to be found.
Since the Japanese invasion of China, the industry and commerce and mining in the Northwest have been greatly promoted thanks to the interruption of the import of foreign goods.
Taking coal, oil and steel as examples, in 1940, coal production in Northwest China reached a milestone of 12.6665 million tons, which not only fully met the daily needs of the military, civilians, industry and commerce, but could also be exported to Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and other places. It also provided sufficient raw materials for the Northwest's artificial petroleum and artificial rubber industries, with a self-sufficiency rate of over 128.75%.
Also in 1940, the Northwest's oil production reached 1.1 million tons. Although the refined products could not fully meet the needs of the Northwest National Defense Army, it did not prevent a small amount of high-priced gasoline from being used to supply the civilian markets in the Northwest and Southwest, so the self-sufficiency rate basically reached 81.87%.
As for steel, throughout 1940, the Northwest produced a total of 2.38 million tons of crude steel and 2.26 million tons of pig iron, which initially met the needs in transportation, construction, and civilian ironware. Based on this, the Northwest Ordnance Industry Enterprises were provided with 2,200 artillery pieces of various types, 900 tanks and armored vehicles, 8,000 ordinary military vehicles and 600 train sets, 450,000 machine rifles and other corresponding military supplies. The self-sufficiency rate reached 71.25%. Once Panzhihua's output can feed the appetite of the Chengdu Iron and Steel Consortium, the Northwest's steel output will reach a new high, which will completely meet the Northwest's steel needs.
The production of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper also developed greatly. In 1940, the output of hard corrugated aluminum reached 2,900 tons, and the demand for copper for artillery shells and bullets was basically met.
The war-related chemical industry also flourished. Thanks to the development of the Qaidam Salt Mine, the production of three acids, two alkalis and synthetic ammonia increased rapidly, with output increasing by 645.5% and 1193.7% respectively compared with 1937.
The output of Western medicine soared from 140 million yuan before the war to 1.285 billion yuan in 1940. While the military heavy industry and heavy chemical industry were developing rapidly, the supporting electric power industry was also developing. The Liujiaxia Hydropower Station was put into use at the end of 1939, and the Minjiang and Jialingjiang cascade hydropower stations were also under construction.
Thanks to the rapid development of the coal industry in the northwest, the number of thermal power plants has expanded rapidly.
The power transmission and transformation technology over 500 km was fully mature and the civil industry also achieved certain development. In 1940, the number of cement enterprises in the northwestern provinces increased 14 times compared with 1937 due to the huge demand in the construction and military sectors in the northwest.
The number of spindles in the textile industry also increased from 6.2 million in 1938 to 17 million, and the number of wool spindles also increased from 1.5 million in 1937 to 4.5 million.
The market sales of small hardware and small electrical and mechanical equipment increased from 60 million Northwest banknotes in 1938 to 845 million in 1940. Excluding the currency depreciation rate of 288.5%, the market sales increased nearly five and a half times in three years. It can be said that as long as there is enough Northwest banknotes in your pocket, high-end luxury goods such as watches, pocket watches, clocks, record players, batteries, radio receivers, fans, sewing machines, bicycles, cowhide sofas, large cabinets and even private cars can be bought on the market.
In addition to industry, animal husbandry and leather processing industries have also developed with the scientific use of grasslands. The number of cattle and sheep slaughtered in Jinshan, Tianshan, Kunlun provinces, as well as Yumen, Qinghai and Ningxia provinces has increased year by year. The income of Mongolian and Han herdsmen has increased at an annual rate of 11% to 17% after deducting the inflation rate. The per-acre output of rural areas in various places has also reached new highs year after year. The only difference from the increase in industrial products is that the increase in agricultural and animal husbandry production is completely swallowed up by the huge army. Daily necessities including cotton cloth, gauze, matches, sugar, rice, flour, eggs, soybeans, cooking oil, meat, kerosene, and paper are still subject to control. Urban residents can only buy limited daily necessities with tickets, and the bargaining market with unlimited supply should have high prices, which has become a place only a few people can visit.
Although there was no phenomenon of tight supply at the front and tight supply at the rear, the glamorous world of feasting and drinking existed just like in Kunming and Guiyang, but the people who came and went were basically foreign expatriates, national capitalists and their mistresses. Although it cannot be ruled out that officers and generals from other military systems outside the Northwest Army system were involved in the period, the direct military and political cadres of the Northwest Army never dared to get involved easily out of fear of the small dark room of the gendarmerie headquarters and considerations for their future.
For the women of Dai Jiliang, who had a strong possessiveness, dance halls, bars and the like were taboo places. Even after receiving some well-intentioned reminders, none of them dared to show up in public easily. However, it was okay to occasionally go shopping in department stores, jewelry stores, go to church, or even travel to a safe place somewhere in the rear for a few days.
Money is not a problem for them. With Dai Jiliang's wealth, it is no problem for him to give each of them a few thousand yuan a month.
Although the money was not enough for them to spend lavishly, it was enough for them to maintain a living standard above middle class without any pressure, so that the ticket system in the northwest did not affect their lives.
"Godfather, are you listening?"
When the woman saw that Dai Jiliang didn't respond, she rolled her eyes and reached down to fiddle with Dai Jiliang's disgusting thing.
"Godfather, you are so bad. When the person is by your side, who knows is with."
"Who else is that vixen? Isn't it you?"
Stimulated, Dai Jiliang withdrew his thoughts and was about to agree when suddenly the phone rang shrilly. He frowned and shook his head at the woman, then picked up the phone beside the bed.
"I'm Dai Jiliang."
"Your Excellency."
Song Cheng's slightly hurried voice came from the phone.
"We just intercepted the Japanese military broadcast in Peking. Brothers Shi Yousan and Shi Youxin have betrayed their country and surrendered to the enemy."
Shi Yousan and Shi Youxin had originally planned to surrender to Japan at the end of April, but the sudden decline of the Japanese army at that time made the Shi brothers hesitate for a few days. As the purge in the northwest progressed and rumors of unstable military morale spread across the country, Shi Yousan made up his mind to betray his country and nation.
"Shi Yousan has been sworn in as the pseudo Hebei provincial chairman in Baoding, and Shi Youxin has also announced that he will be the pseudo Hebei provincial police chief."
Shi Yousan? Shi Youxin? Dai Jiliang narrowed his eyes and thought about it. Perhaps he had some understanding of Sun Dianying's surrender to Japan in another time and space, but that was also because Sun Dianying was the Dongling robber. As for the Shi brothers, he didn't know much about them at all, so he had no way of predicting that they might surrender to the enemy and betray the country.
However, then again, although this time and space is connected with the time and space of Dai Jiliang's previous life, they have now completely gone astray. Therefore, Dai Jiliang cannot judge people by the old calendar. At least Sun Dianying is still insisting on the anti-Japanese war behind enemy lines as the New Fifth Army, and there is no sign of surrendering to the Japanese. He cannot be cleared out for unfounded reasons, otherwise it will definitely be detrimental to the gradual annexation of miscellaneous armed forces in the Northwest.
"Hebei Provincial Government, does Chairman He know about this?"
Dai Jiliang said slowly.
"You should immediately send a telegram from the aide-de-camp to warn the Hebei area. In addition, you should also inform the provinces and war zones behind enemy lines in advance and let them pay attention to avoid a chain reaction."
Song Cheng responded repeatedly on the other end of the phone but did not hang up, so Dai Jiliang asked.
"Anything else?"
"Your Excellency, the Japanese broadcast also said that Shi Yousan attacked the Hebei Hui Muslim Volunteer Corps, and Ma Zhongying and Ma Buying were arrested."
“Ma Buying?”
Dai Jiliang chuckled. Ma Buying was a chess piece for the Northwest to deal with the Soviet Union, but he was definitely not suitable for the Japanese to use against the Northwest.
"I know about this. Inform the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Liaison Office and ask them to find a way to pass the message to Ma Buying and tell him what I said. History has given him another chance to choose. He should not go down the wrong path. No, there is no need to rescue him. How things develop depends on his own choice. As long as he does not help the Japanese fight the Chinese, the Japanese may ask him to find trouble with the Russians, which is probably what he wants."
Dai Jiliang said this and added.
"Please inform the Liaison Office to hunt down the Shi brothers. They will be worth 100,000 yuan for each head. We cannot sit idly by and allow Shi Yousan and Shi Youxin to become accomplices of the Japanese."
Dai Jiliang hung up the phone, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then looked down at the young woman curled up in his arms. The young woman looked at Dai Jiliang , as if she was a beautiful dog looking forward to the attention of her owner. Dai Jiliang smiled and patted her elastic buttocks: "Three thousand yuan, can't you afford it yourself? Godfather, I know you are a small rich woman, with tens of thousands of yuan in the bank, and you secretly asked your uncle to open a pawnshop."
Seeing the woman with such a pouty mouth that one could hang a bottle of oil on it, Dai Jiliang kissed her. After a long kiss, Dai Jiliang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's just a fur coat. I'll have someone accompany you to get it back tomorrow."
