I carry a space ring: Travel back to 1939

Chapter 324 Establishing a Fund with Disabled Veterans

Gu Wenxuan arrived at Jiang Qingfeng's home.

Miss Jiang's mother enthusiastically instructed the servants and Gu Wenxuan to prepare a midnight snack.

Gu Wenxuan was not polite either. He was really hungry. He flew in the air for several hours and fought several rounds with the Japanese army.

After having supper, Jiang Qingfeng had another conversation with Gu Wenxuan.

Jiang Qingfeng asked Gu Wenxuan: "Wenxuan, who did you support those 20-odd fighter planes you bought?"

"Oh, all the planes I bought were donated to the independent unit of the Sichuan Army!"

Jiang Qingfeng also knew about the independent army of the Sichuan Army. To put it bluntly, it was not a regular unit. Its original number was an independent regiment. However, now was a critical moment in the anti-Japanese war, so he did not seriously inquire about these details.

"Could it be that you are the one who supports the Sichuan Army behind the scenes?"

Gu Wenxuan was not afraid of him knowing: "Yes, I supported the Sichuan Army in Heping Town, otherwise they would have been disbanded long ago. Look, they have no weapons, no equipment, and even no money for food!"

Jiang Qingfeng felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Gu Wenxuan said. Although he had nothing to do with the army, after all, their top leaders had a deep contempt for the Sichuan Army.

"Then some time ago, there was an air battle between the Sichuan Army and the Japanese Army. Was it you who commanded it?"

Gu Wenxuan said: "I didn't participate in their command, but I personally flew a plane and fought with Japanese planes. The Japanese planes are not as powerful as the legend says, and I still shot down a few of them!"

Miss Jiang Er was listening to their conversation nearby. When she heard that Gu Wenxuan had fought against the Japanese army last time and even shot down several Japanese fighter planes, her eyes sparkled with admiration.

The more Jiang Qingfeng listened, the more he liked this young man: "Have you ever been to a military academy? How come you can fly a plane?"

Gu Wenxuan smiled and said, "I haven't really learned how to fly a plane, but I did study at the Infantry School in Japan!"

Jiang Qingfeng: "Wenxuan, you have studied military affairs seriously. It would be a pity if you don't serve in the army. Wouldn't it be a waste of your studies if a talent like you went into business?"

Gu Wenxuan shook his head: "In fact, we in China are not short of talents. People like me who have learned a little bit of military are not considered talents, and doing business is not considered as a waste of time.

The money I earn from my business is enough to support an army to fight.

The main problem with the current military is that they lack money, weapons, and training. Otherwise, how could we not defeat the Japanese?"

Jiang Qingfeng had to admit that what Gu Wenxuan said was true. There were many people who could lead troops to fight, but these people were not reused. Moreover, the key point was that China's army lacked training, weapons, and most importantly, money.

"Wenxuan, I heard that your Sichuan Army has over 10 troops. Don't you think it's difficult to maintain such a large army if you are the only one to provide for their expenses?"

"As for the expenses of the Sichuan Army of more than 10 people, I can barely maintain it. You don't have to worry about that!"

Jiang Qingfeng couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart: How much money does this Gu Wenxuan have? He actually said that there is no problem in maintaining an army of more than 10 people. He knows how much money it costs to feed and feed an army of more than 10 people every day? And there are so many weapons.

He knew that the monthly cost of such an army would probably be at least 500 million dollars.

Gu Wenxuan smiled and said to Jiang Qingfeng: "I have opened many companies in Shanghai, so I have no problem with expenses. And when the military funds are really insufficient, I can also borrow some money from the Japanese to spend!"

Jiang Qingfeng didn't understand what Gu Wenxuan meant for a moment, but Miss Jiang Er suddenly had an idea.

"Gu Wenxuan, you mean that the last time you went to Fengtian, several major incidents occurred in Fengtian during that time, and several large banks were robbed. Did you do it?"

Gu Wenxuan smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Miss Jiang II jumped up excitedly, grabbed Gu Wenxuan's shoulders and shook him vigorously twice: "Gu Wenxuan, you are really awesome, and you helped us vent our anger!"

Lin Qingfeng also knew about the thefts in several Japanese banks in Fengtian. Although he didn't know how much they had lost, he felt that it was definitely not a small amount.

Miss Jiang asked excitedly, "Gu Wenxuan, I think you made a fortune this time. How much money did you rob from them?"

Gu Wenxuan: "Second Miss, why are you asking so clearly? Do you still want to share the spoils?"

Jiang Qingfeng and his wife both laughed. Most people would not ask Gu Wenxuan a question in this situation. Only someone as carefree as the Second Young Miss would ask such a question.

Miss Jiang Er did not consider herself an outsider: "Of course Gu Wenxuan, if you don't mind, I would be happy to accept it if you give me some money to spend!"

Gu Wenxuan said: "Go and bring me my suitcase!"

Now Gu Wenxuan carries a large suitcase wherever he goes. With this suitcase, he can take out what he wants from it, because he can put things in his space into the suitcase at any time.

Miss Jiang picked up the suitcase that Gu Wenxuan had placed by the door. She shouted, "Gu Wenxuan, what's in this suitcase? It's so heavy. Dad, come and help me lift it. I can't lift it!"

Jiang Qingfeng originally thought that the suitcase contained Gu Wenxuan's spare clothes, but now it seems that it may not be that simple, so he went over and carried the suitcase over with his daughter.

Gu Wenxuan opened the suitcase, which was full of jewels and jade.

Miss Jiang's eyes widened. The jewelry and jade in the box were all top-quality.

She picked up a pearl necklace at random and gestured on her body: "Wow, this pearl necklace is so beautiful!"

Jiang Qingfeng had seen the world, and he knew that this pearl necklace must have come from the imperial palace. Perhaps it had been worn by an imperial concubine or queen in the past, and it must be worth a fortune.

Hu Wenyu is very knowledgeable about the jewelry these women use: "Wenxuan's pearl necklace is probably worth no less than 100 million dollars. Look at the big pendant on it. It should be a real pigeon blood red ruby. And it's so big! It's rare in the world!"

"If you like it, Madam, I'll give it to you!"

Hu Wenyu quickly shook his hand and declined: "No, no, it's too expensive!"

Gu Wenxuan said: "You're welcome, Fu Fu. These are all gifts from the Japanese!"

Everyone laughed, and Miss Jiang Er persuaded her mother to accept the pearl necklace:

"Mom, just accept it. This is a gift from Gu Wenxuan. Don't be polite! No matter how polite you are, you will never get it again after he leaves!"

"You silly boy, you are not polite at all!"

"Everyone, please don't be polite. Everyone, pick one that you like. You can accept these gifts without worrying about it. Anyway, I am not seeking an official position in your court, so it doesn't count as bribery!"

So the three of them exchanged pleasantries, and each of them picked out their favorite piece of jewelry or jade from the suitcase.

Jiang Qingfeng chose a jade plaque, which was carved from top-grade Hetian jade. It was said to be the Zigang plaque carved by Lu Zigang in the Ming Dynasty.

Miss Jiang chose a pair of glass jade bracelets.

Finally, the jewelry on top was removed, and underneath was a box of brand new US dollars.

The whole family stared at the US dollars in amazement. No wonder they were so heavy, it turned out they were all coins.

"Commander Jiang, here is 200 million U.S. dollars. I want to donate it to your army as a donation to the injured soldiers, as a public welfare fund.

So that those wounded soldiers who have difficulties in life can receive some subsidies from this fund! Of course, this is the first batch of funds, and I will transfer some money to the fund account on time in the future.

I hope Commander Jiang can set up this fund, and I will help you raise more funds in Shanghai!"

Jiang Qingfeng also saw that the US dollars in the suitcase were not for him, but he was also moved and shook Gu Wenxuan's hand tightly:

"Wenxuan, you are such a good kid. I hope you will always be a good friend of my second daughter! I will definitely do the things you entrusted to me, and I will never let you down!"
