When the Japanese invaded the mainland, the northeast soon fell into the hands of the Japanese army. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's heart still did not think about resisting Japan, but instead thought of dealing with the Communist Party first, which also led to an urgent shortage of military funds within the Kuomintang.
At that time, the financial power of the Kuomintang was controlled by Soong Ziwen, and Chiang Kai-shek was cornered and repeatedly asked For military funds from Song Ziwen, you know, at that time, the Kuomintang's financial deficit was as high as tens of millions, and Chiang Kai-shek was still thinking of asking for money to go to the civil war, so of course Song Ziwen could not do it. Enraged, Chiang Kai-shek slapped Song Ziwen, and the two broke up
Many people feel that the reason why Soong Ziwen became the finance minister of the Kuomintang was mainly because of the relationship between Soong Mei-ling, who was Chiang Kai-shek's brother-in-law. In fact, the real situation is not so, Soong Ziwen not only did not rely on Soong Meiling, but Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to his talents and invited him to take up this important post.
Moreover, having Song Ziwen as treasurer also facilitates Chiang Kai-shek's alliance with the song family, a big family. However, although Soong Ziwen became the finance minister of the Kuomintang, he was diametrically opposed to Chiang Kai-shek's political philosophy, and he was always opposed to civil war. For this reason, Song Ziwen repeatedly opposed Chiang Kai-shek in public, and Chiang Kai-shek's face was dull, and he did not want money, and he hated him for a long time
After Chiang Kai-shek slapped Song Ziwen, Song Ziwen did not want to do it, and it did not take long to provide him with a resignation letter. Although Chiang Kai-shek was forced by the situation to apologize to Song Ziwen for being wrong, he could not get along with him, so he agreed to his resignation request. Since then, the post of Finance Minister has been taken over by Kong Xiangxi
After the situation, Chiang Kai-shek knew that Soong Tzu-wen was too important to the Kuomintang, and his ability was indispensable to the Kuomintang. Therefore, he gave Song Ziwen other tasks, and every time he had to deal with the Americans, he would arrange for Song Ziwen to go. But can Song Ziwen be such a good bully?
Originally, he was not happy that his brother-in-law Kong Xiangxi had taken his place, and Chiang Kai-shek was still so bad at making himself. As a result, he began to embezzle a large amount of money from the Kuomintang by virtue of his position
Because of his long dealings with the Americans, who in turn supported the Nationalists, he once asked the Americans for $840 million in aid, but he did not give the money to the Nationalist government. Later, when his sister Song Meiling told him about it, Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he directly hit him on the forehead with a cup
It is worth mentioning that later, the people of the Military Command Bureau discovered an anti-Chiang force in Chongqing, but after the arrest, it was Kong Xiangxi and his wife who were investigated through clues. As a result, Kong Xiangxi and his wife were gradually alienated by Chiang Kai-shek, and Song Ziwen took the opportunity to return to the position of finance minister.
This is inevitably a reverie. In fact, from the very beginning, the reason for the contradiction between Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Ziwen was that Chiang Kai-shek's "dictatorship" was challenged by Soong Ziwen, and later Kong Xiangxi ascended to the throne of Chiang Kai-shek much more smoothly, because no one opposed him, and Kong Xiangxi would only obediently obey. However, such a price is that the Kuomintang is going downhill more and more.
