Xue Muhua and Rejimi accepted congratulations from the people on behalf of all the pilots who attacked. The village committees of several nearby villages also organized the people to send a few pigs. Although these gifts were small, they made Gao Zhihang and Li Mei, who knew about the local life, felt deeply.

The Air Force has very strict control over thoughts, and Gao Zhihang himself did not have much affection for GCD. It was not until Li Guidan was helped by GCD guerrillas in the Battle of North China that his impression began to change: Li Mei had not had much contact with GCD organization in China for more than a year, and this time Jiaodong built an airport and had contact with GCD. He admired the efficiency and integrity of GCD organization very much.

The airport is built in the GCD base area and is surrounded by GCD-controlled urban villages. In order to ensure the safety of the airport, the GCD Jiaodong Military Region also dispatched a main force around the airport.

Gao Zhihang doesn't like speeches very much, so he pushed things like attending press conferences to Li Mei. For Li Mei, this is a matter of undesirableness. Just like all Americans, it is very exciting to be on the headlines of newspapers. Even if Gao Zhihang doesn't allow him, he is ready to grab it.

When facing the reporter, the frustration that had just seen the plane damage had disappeared without a trace, and the rest had risen to the extreme: "Everyone, I have officially announced that from today on, the ocean can no longer protect Japan. We will continue to attack Japan from the air until they put down their weapons and surrender unconditionally!" Li Mei's first words made Xue Muhua almost stagger. Li Mei looked like he was slaughtering everything. Rejimmy beside her muttered in a low voice: "God, he wants to replace you."

Xue Muhua held back his laughter and tried to tighten his face, which made him look a little weird. Fortunately, the reporters' attention was focused on Li Mei.

"General, is the bombing a big loss?" a reporter asked impatiently.

"The losses you see are our only losses." Li Mei was in a very happy mood. He pointed to the wreckage of the plane that was still being cleaned up in the distance: "When Britain bombed Germany, the losses were about 20%. Our losses today were one, and two were slightly injured. Just a simple repair would be required to re-enter the battle: In terms of personnel, only sixteen of our young men were injured, three of whom were slightly injured. I believe they would be able to return to the blue sky soon."

Li Mei raised a hand and said, "This shows that Japan has no way to deal with the super air fortress. Their planes cannot fly over ten thousand meters at all. Here I want to warn Japan myself that yesterday was Sasebo, tomorrow it was Tokyo, Orito and Nagoya. Our planes will visit every city in Japan…………………………!”

Li Mei made headlines in major newspapers and magazines like God's photo and Xue Muhua and Jimmy holding freshly and receiving cheers. A wave of air force craze quickly among the domestic people.

"General Li Mei announced that the Japanese and Japanese seas could no longer protect Japan and Japanese. The Chinese Air Force attacked Japan and Japanese...." "The Sino-US Air Force jointly attacked Sasebo, and the Japanese naval base was completely destroyed!

"From today, Japan has been directly within the scope of our attack. This time is completely different from the last time. This bombing represents the failure of Japan and Japan on various fronts in the past two years. On the battlefield of China, ** has entered a comprehensive counterattack and eliminated millions of Japanese troops. In the Pacific, the US military has revived the Caroline Islands and approached the Philippines: Revived the Marshall Islands and advanced to the Mariana Islands. The Japanese and Japanese absolute national listening circle has fallen!"...

Compatriots, since September 18th, we have fought with Japan for thirteen years, and at most one year, the war is about to end. This will be the first time we have achieved a complete and complete victory in Zhanfeng since the Opium War in 1840!

Compatriots, we are in the darkness before dawn. In the seven-year large-scale war, we have done our best and paid a huge price. The country's finances are very difficult. The people in the rear took out the last dollar and the last grain to support the front line. The soldiers on the front line frugal and aid refugees, but this is still just a drop in the bucket. The restoration area has suffered huge damage, millions of workers in the city are unemployed, and famine is threatening tens of millions of people in North China.

To overcome these difficulties and achieve final and complete victory, we only have one road, unite around the central government, and strive to practice the concept of the Anti-Japanese War and the Founding of the People's Republic of China!"

The "Central Daily" published a long article in the name of Chiang Kai-shek on the front page headlines, which comprehensively analyzed the war, pointing out that the victory of the War of Resistance is right in front of us, the country is in the most difficult period, and the national finance has almost dried up, calling on the people of the whole country to overcome the difficulties they face with confidence and will.

This article caused a huge response in the Kuomintang-controlled area. Chongqing University, Chongqing Federation of Trade Unions, and the Farmers' Association jointly appealed to the people of the country for "everything is for victory!" "Save every grain of grain, every inch of cloth, support North China, and provide relief to refugees!" This appeal was immediately responded to all parts of the country. Chengdu, Kunming, Guiyang, Xi'an, Guangzhou, Guilin, and newly revived Wuhan, Jinan, Qingdao, responded one after another. Wuhan launched a donation movement. Wuhan citizens who have not yet got out of the predicament took out their secret savings from the corner, from the closet, and from the chuáng, and sent them to the donation site: In the countryside, the villagers left coarse grains and sent rice to the village office.

The donation movement spread rapidly across the country, and even the people in the occupied areas under the Japanese occupation secretly raised donations and sent people across the front to the government.

With the help of this movement, the National Government announced the issuance of 500 million yuan of bonds in the war to provide relief to the victims and the reconstruction of North China. The bonds were worth ten yuan, and were guaranteed by the post-war national salt tax, and all people could purchase it. Later, Chiang Kai-shek announced that he subscribed to the January salary, and the National Government Chairman Yang Yongtai also announced that he would subscribe to the January salary. Zhuang Jihua immediately responded in Tangshan and also subscribed to the January salary.

After reporting these news, the public was enthusiastic and enthusiastically purchased them, and the 500 million bonds were sold out in just one week.

This situation made Chiang Kai-shek very excited. First of all, it was proposed by Zhuang Jihua during his inspection in North China. The situation in North China, especially in Tianjin, shocked him. The entire city was almost completely destroyed. Even in the warm scenes of the people welcoming him, he could still feel their worries.

In Tianjin, Tang Shizun and Zhang Tingye reported to him in detail the situation in Tianjin. There were thousands of factories around Tianjin, but now less than 300,000 workers in the city were unemployed, about 110,000 houses were destroyed in the city, and millions of people were staying on the streets. The local police officers have all mobilized to help the victims rebuild their homes, but this takes a process. Tang Shizun and Zhang Tingye submitted a list of Han to Chiang Kai-shek in front of Zhuang Jihua, demanding that their property be seized and the Japanese property be auctioned to harvest reconstruction funds.

But what surprised Chiang Kai-shek was that Zhuang Jihua obviously did not know this list. He had read the list and firmly opposed it, believing that the attack was too great and there was a suspicion of fishing in the flood. He suggested that the previous few Hanjiān, who had a great influence and bad behavior, would be arrested and seized property. Others need to be investigated carefully. Otherwise, once all these business people were arrested, at least 30% of the workers in Tianjin would be added to the unemployment of the entire Tianjin.

He suggested establishing a state-owned company to carry out real estate development, low-rent housing and commercial housing development. Among them, low-rent housing is mainly for public rental housing in poor families. The maximum room is 60 square meters, and the area of ​​commercial housing is not limited. There are two ways to purchase. One is to purchase it in full, and the other is to only pay the down payment. The bank provides a mortgage loan to use the purchased house as collateral and return it monthly.

This method is very common in later generations, but it was the first and a risky one at this time. People nowadays do not have the awareness of tomorrow's money, but Zhuang Jihua proposed to let private banks implement it. Chiang Kai-shek understood it. He drew a line on the list proposed by Tang Shizu Zhang Tingye. The upper part approved the arrest, check the property of the Jing family, and the lower part was not allowed to move, and the members were about one-third of the list.

Zhuang Jihua immediately proposed to add that the management committee was established, with Zhang Tingbukuo as the team leader and He Xiwu as the deputy team leader. Factory was not allowed to be suspended and shops were not allowed to be suspended. Chiang Kai-shek approved this proposal without any hesitation. There were too many unemployed workers in Tianjin. If these factories were suspended again, there would be more unemployed workers.

Chiang Kai-shek also participated in the post-war reconstruction joint meeting attended by the Tianjin Municipal Government and business people chaired by Zhuang Jihua. At this meeting, Zhuang Jihua asked the Tianjin factory owners to resume construction as soon as possible. One machine started construction and one machine, and one equipment was used to move one equipment, and workers were not allowed to be fired without authorization.

Chiang Kai-shek attended the joint meeting. This action surprised Zhuang Jihua a little. Industry and commerce have never been Chiang Kai-shek's strengths, and he even didn't understand it at all, but he still attended the meeting.

At the end, Chiang Kai-shek told the participants that the government was trying to issue bonds to alleviate the country's financial tensions. In addition, the government decided to provide another five million legal currency to provide loans to various factories and reduce industrial and commercial taxes to help the factories recover and rebuild: in addition, he also clearly told the business people attending the meeting that the government would review Hanjiān in accordance with the law and would not arrest Hanjiān at will. Only those who sincerely cooperate with the Japanese were Hanjiān.

Chiang Kai-shek's speech immediately aroused the confidence of the factory owners present, especially on the last point, which made the factory owners attending the meeting cry. Before attending the meeting, all of these factory owners were panic.

After Chiang Kai-shek approved the list, that night, the Security Command and the Police took immediate action to arrest everyone on the list. This move shocked these business people in Tianjin and made them all at risk. Today, Chiang Kai-shek made a personal promise and they finally felt at ease.

Before Chiang Kai-shek left North China, he summoned Zhuang Jihua again to discuss the source of funds for the reconstruction of North China. Since he refused Hopkins' concessions to the Soviet Union, Chiang Kai-shek was not sure about the US government's approval of issuance of bonds in the United States. At this meeting, Zhuang Jihua proposed to issue bonds in China first, raise some funds first, alleviate fiscal pressure, and also demonstrated our determination to the US government.

After returning to Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek immediately summoned Song Zi, Moon, Ma Yinchu and others, and decided to issue bonds in China first to raise a batch of funds. Chiang Kai-shek, Yang Yongtai, Song Zi, Wen and Chen Cheng and others took the lead in subscribing. The commanders of the front-line war zones and the chairman of all provinces across the country were required to subscribe.

But what surprised Chiang Kai-shek was that the bonds issued were subscribed within a week, and the unprecedented enthusiasm from the people gave him great confidence. So when Hopkins returned to the Huangshan Villa from Moscow, he saw a confident national leader...
