Chapter 972 Golden Pathfinder
The navy and air force were dispatched at the same time, bombing Japan's Hokkaido and Kyushu one after another, bringing the war to the Japanese homeland, allowing them to feel the anger of China and pay with blood.
After each operation, the military report in the Peiping area will truthfully announce the results of the operation to the outside world.
While seeking development for themselves and the country, the greatest desire of the people is revenge.
The culprits who started the war must be punished as they deserve, and China's heroic spirits must rest in peace.
Therefore, every air raid can shock the whole country. Almost everyone is concerned about the results of the air raid and applauds the navy and air force in Peiping.
While the common people were cheering, some big reactionary families fell into deep worry and panic.
They are deeply aware that the era when they had control over the future and destiny of this country has passed.
Although I was extremely reluctant, I had to admit that it was time to leave.
At 10 pm on March 3, Song Ziwen, the contemporary head of the Song family, said to his most trusted old housekeeper:
"Uncle He, you must be careful on the road. The Song family's savings over the years are all here."
As the Nationalist Government had less and less say, Song Ziwen also returned from the United States, and Lu Zhuoran in Peiping had full authority to handle diplomatic matters.
Of course, he didn't tell the truth. This first batch of property shipped out was not all the Song family's savings.
About 1/3 of the savings.
In addition to cash, they also have many fixed industries at home and abroad, and those are the real wealth.
Having dealt with Lu Zhuoran many times, Song Ziwen knew the intentions of the people in Peiping, so he was anxious to transfer his assets abroad after returning to China.
If this first batch of property can be transferred smoothly, there will soon be a second batch and a third batch...
The old butler, Uncle He, owed his body and then promised firmly.
Song Ziwen watched his motorcade drive away, the look of worry on his face not diminishing at all.
..
Despite the principal's efforts, their control over the southwestern provinces has gradually become out of control.
Public opinion is such that no matter what the government does, it is irreversible.
The conflict between the two sides is gradually becoming more intense, and discerning people across the country can see that domestic problems will soon reach a point where they have to be resolved.
But these did not affect the commercial activities across the country. Merchants from all over the country were able to enter the Gongbang Dynasty through Yunnan to conduct overseas trade.
On this trade route, everyone has a tacit understanding not to discuss politics.
On March 5, the Song family's motorcade officially left Kunming and embarked on the widened Burma Highway.
The entire fleet consisted of 20 large vehicles. They did not display the banner of the Song family to the outside world, but used some goods to cover it up.
In the past, a convoy of 20 large vehicles would have been eye-catching, but on the current Burma Highway, this is just an ordinary convoy.
Convoys of hundreds of large vehicles, let alone 20, are common on the Burma Highway.
The traffic flow is like water, going back and forth day and night.
From this we can see the importance of the Burma Road to Sino-foreign trade and the general trend of trade prosperity after the war.
Uncle He, the old butler, looked at the various types of small shops lined up on the Burma Highway and suddenly felt a little dazed.
This country is getting better and better and more prosperous, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with people like them.
Uncle He also knew that in the eyes of the common people, the big capitalists headed by the four major families of Jiang, Song, Kong, and Chen had become national worms, villains who sucked up the fat and oil of the people.
If someone doesn't deliberately stop them, a raging fire can burn the big capitalists into cokes.
Uncle He was filled with emotion, but these emotions would not shake his loyalty to the Song family.
The entire first half of the trip went very smoothly, and everyone couldn't help but relax their vigilance.
When entering the Gongbang Dynasty, the team went through the most stringent inspection since this trip.
Uncle He was well prepared for this. He quietly stuffed several small yellow croakers into the pockets of the border inspector.
Perhaps for the sake of the little yellow croaker, the convoy successfully passed the border inspection and officially entered the Gongbang Dynasty.
The destination of their trip is Yangon. As long as they can deliver the goods to the British merchant ship, the mission will be completed.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the commercial convoy passes the border inspection, it can reach Yangon unimpeded and there will be no other inspections.
After being frightened all the way, many people in the convoy began to complain. Uncle He felt that it was safe. Although the Gongbang Dynasty was a Chinese colony, it was still considered a foreign country, so he asked everyone to stay in Mandalay for one night to let everyone relax.
Be in a better mood to finish the last part of the journey.
That night, Uncle He and three other veterans stayed at the hotel, while the other young people went out to eat and drink.
No accidents occurred, and the young man's condition was indeed better the next day. It was very pleasant to talk and laugh all the way.
Yangon Port was already in sight, and Uncle He began to imagine that after this trip, he could relax and buy some foreign things for his grandson at home.
It was at this time that an accident occurred suddenly.
More than 200 people dressed as locals attacked the convoy. The Song family failed to put up any effective resistance and even the people and the car were robbed.
Uncle He was old, maybe because the kidnappers didn't like him, so they threw him away halfway.
After running for nearly ten miles on a foreign road, the old man finally found a police station and told the entire story of their robbery in a trembling voice.
Two days later, Uncle He learned from the local police that a young man in the convoy was drunk and told others about the secret cargo carried by the convoy.
Then they were robbed.
The police chief told Uncle He that those who robbed them were local rebels who existed to seek national independence.
The rebels were everywhere, and both the Governor-General's Palace and the King's Palace were in dire straits.
The police chief asked what kind of goods had been intercepted, but Uncle He was unclear.
………
In the Governor's Mansion, under the guidance of his secretary, Wei Junru saw the goods carried by the Song family's motorcade.
That's a ton of gold and a lot of antique jewelry.
"The Song family wants to run away because of their personnel. They are selling off their assets everywhere. If we didn't have people all over the Gongbang Dynasty, we would have missed it this time!"
The secretary said with some disdain and some happiness.
Wei Junru personally counted the gold and toys, and asked with a somewhat complicated mood:
"Are you sure this is the first batch?"
The secretary said:
"Yes, the people who escorted the car all confessed, and their confessions are consistent."
"The old housekeeper also ran to the police station to report the crime. At this time, he should have believed that the things were stolen by the rebels."
Wei Junru nodded:
"Set up additional checkpoints and conduct strict checks on vehicles coming from China. We must not let anything like this happen. I will report it to Peking immediately."
Chapter completed!
