You must know that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Situ mobilized the overseas Chinese communities in the Americas to establish the "New York All Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Fund Raising Association." At this time, Mr. Situ was already 71 years old, but he still put aside other matters to focus on the association's work, and he continued to do so for 5 years. Insist on going to work at 10 a.m. every day and working until late at night.
During the entire period of the Anti-Japanese War, driven by the "New York All Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Fund Raising Association", patriotic overseas Chinese in the Americas donated more than 15 million US dollars to support the domestic Anti-Japanese War, and Mr. Situ's Anliang Tang donated more than 3 million US dollars.
Not only that, Mr. Situ himself also used most of his family wealth to donate as much as possible. He is also ranked among the 17 overseas Chinese in New York who have made the most donations.
15 million U.S. dollars, measured solely by the equipment of all German weapon masters, is equivalent to supporting 21 fully equipped German weapon masters, or 40 semi-German weapon masters who can also be considered elite.
Judging from the strength of the national army in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the German armorers were already considered the backbone of the anti-Japanese forces. Until the middle period of the Anti-Japanese War, the number of troops with such combat effectiveness in the national army would not exceed 60 divisions, and most of the others were general troops with relatively weak combat effectiveness and organization.
This shows how much overseas Chinese helped China's Anti-Japanese War at that time.
This also shows how high Mr. Situ's role and patriotic enthusiasm are.
Such a respectable and admirable old man, such a patriotic person who deserves to be remembered and respected by future generations, Zhou Wen volunteered for free and was willing to do his best to protect his safety.
Of course, Zhou Wen works as a volunteer.
The principal is now extremely poor, how can he possibly pay Zhou Wen?
What's more, he also knows that this kid is greedy and always offers hundreds of thousands of dollars. If I talk to you about money, wouldn't it be like having your head caught in the door?
Free prostitution--isn't it delicious?
After Zhou Wen explained the importance of Mr. Situ's domestic trip, Miaohua and Zhang Xiaoping had no objections, and Xu Dacheng even thoughtlessly shouted to participate in the escort operation. Only Zhao Xiaojin, who has always been cautious, asked tentatively: "Awen, can't we talk to the principal again? After all, if you give me three melons and two dates, you can't let everyone work in vain, right?"
Speaking of this, for fear of causing everyone to misunderstand, Zhao Xiaojin explained: "Mr. Situ supports the country's war of resistance, of course he must be protected. I just don't know how long he will stay in the country? This time will take a lot of time, maybe Shanghai The situation here may have to be put on hold for a while, and it would definitely be better if we can make some progress."
Zhao Xiaojin is different from Miaohua and the others. When he joined the mercenary group, the mercenary group had already passed the stage of primitive accumulation. Pharmaceutical factories and steel plants had begun to make money, so he always felt that he was dragging his family with his disciples. I came here to join Zhou Wen, even though I didn't put in much effort, and I was treated the same as Miaohua and other old team members, I always felt a little sorry.
To say that this junior brother really has nothing to say to his fellow disciples like Wudang, not to mention the various guarantees in training and life, even the military salary of dozens of oceans a month is paid to him every cent.
He and several other senior brothers who have families all have a two-story single-family house in the military area of Lishi. Guys from Fuyuan Company come to visit every now and then to inquire about the welfare and help with food, clothing, and daily life. It can be said to be caring.
And his son also attended the school run by Fuyuan Company and began to read and write, which completely relieved his worries.
Zhao Xiaojin, who was used to living in poverty in Wudang Mountain, always felt that he was living in a mercenary group for nothing, so he naturally wanted to put more effort into the mercenary group and contribute more to the mercenary group. .
Although he participated in the Great Wall War of Resistance not long ago, the Wudang disciples he brought did not embarrass the Wudang Sect and did not make it difficult for his junior brother Zhou Wen, but it was not enough.
Especially as he was gradually accepted by Zhou Wen into the core class of the mercenary group and began to learn some of the secrets of the mercenary group, he realized how difficult it was for his junior brother to lead the family.
After all, he has been traveling in the world for many years and knows how difficult life and money are. But every time I see and hear about the massive training expenditure of the mercenary group and the unheard-of military treatment, I know how much Zhou Wen cherishes his brothers and the officers and soldiers under his command.
However, this also brings about a problem, that is, the expenses of the mercenary group are very huge.
Everyone's weapons and equipment are the best in the world, and the bullets and shells that are thrown out like water during training are even more valuable. And in terms of daily life and logistics, just look at the big, round, rosy-faced young men in the army to know how good the quality of logistics support is.
And the treatment of military dependents is unparalleled across the country. As long as you have relatives and a family, every family has a house, children go to school, and adults work, it’s up to you. And your monthly military pay will be paid in full to your relatives.
Zhao Xiaojin clearly remembered the first time he gave his general salary to his wife, and saw her so surprised and frightened that she almost threw out the dozens of oceans in the bag, and worriedly asked him if he had done anything immoral. With such an expression on his face, Zhao Xiaojin sighed softly in his heart. The junior brother was really so kind to his brothers that it left people speechless.
But these all cost money!
Moreover, he knew very well how much the Great Wall had consumed during the three-month war of resistance. Zhao Xiaojin himself made a rough calculation and knew that it would start with at least one million oceans.
As for these, the principal, in addition to giving some verbal commendations and giving out a few medals that he kept in his pocket and could not be sold for a few dollars, also gave everyone a bunch of medals that were equally distasteful in Zhao Xiaojin's eyes. A rank worth a penny.
Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Zhao Xiaojin is now a major military medical officer registered with the Military Commission.
Although he also knew very well that everyone was responsible for the rise and fall of a country, and under the influence of the atmosphere of Zhou Wen and the mercenary group, Zhao Xiaojin's patriotism was not inferior to others.
However, the emperor is still hungry. We are risking our lives to kill the Japanese on the front line for our country, so you can't just be like this and just live there with nothing, can you?
Not only must we sacrifice our lives for our country, but we must also raise our own military expenses, weapons, ammunition, and food. The brothers who died were also the ones for us to raise money to support their families.
Isn’t this bullying an honest person?
Why are other armies funded by the state, but my junior brother’s army has to pay for it himself? In Zhao Xiaojin's view, this is unfair.
It's okay if it's unfair. Anyway, my junior brother is such a person who has great righteousness in his heart and a big gap in his chest. He just goes along with it.
However, it is wrong for you to think about bossing people around even if you have nothing to lose.
