Chapter 59: Shopping malls are like battlefields
April in the Northeast turns from warm to cold, with daytime temperatures around 10 degrees and night temperatures around 0 degrees. The troops changed their uniforms, and the Blood Wolf Team was the first to use woolen sweaters and other thermal underwear.
Feeling much lighter, Hu Zhiyong began to prepare to go out to investigate the resource issues in various places. A group of veterans from the army were all removed, and after a short period of training, they began to set up business shops in various counties in the Japanese war zone.
Reluctant to let go of his children, Hu Zhiyong had already bribed important officials in Beijing, and even paid part of the war supplies to the island country's military. Liang Chenghua took over as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and he didn't understand why Hu Zhiyong wanted to use supplies to help the enemy.
"Don't understand?" Hu Zhiyong looked at the people in the conference room in surprise: "Don't you understand?"
Liang Chengfu looked around, stood up and said, "It's obvious. By supplying supplies to the Japanese army, you are helping them invade our land!"
"Yes, there are more than a dozen trucks of canned food and grain. Not to mention how much it costs, at least one brigade can survive for a month!" Ma Xiandeng breathed heavily and accused in a very unpleasant tone.
"This is just the surface, you haven't seen the essence!" Hu Zhiyong hung the map on the wall and drew a line on the map of Northeast China with his baton: "One year later, the entire territory of Manchukuo will be divided into eleven military-controlled areas, with arable land
The area is 40 million hectares, of which 25 million hectares are cultivated land. The forest area is 170 million hectares. The annual output is 2.5 million tons of soybeans, 2 million tons of wheat, 700,000 tons of rice, 1 million tons of millet, 8 million tons of sorghum, and 5 million tons of corn.
tons, 600,000 tons of grains and beans, 300,000 tons of cotton, and 160,000 tons of tobacco. The livestock on hand include 4 million horses, 3 million cattle, 30 million sheep, and 40 million pigs. In addition, according to the requirements of the Kwantung Army,
Manchukuo must provide Japan with more than 10 million tons of grain every year."
Everyone listened quietly, and were surprised that Hu Zhiyong understood these figures in such detail. But one thing was clear, the Japanese would not transport food from their country to feed the army, and could only rely on war and plunder to complete military supplies.
"The Japanese state established machinery, arms, and aircraft industries in the Northeast, and the funds of their domestic chaebols quickly poured into Manchukuo. Manchuria Telephone and Telegraph Company, Manchuria Machinery Manufacturing Company, Manchuria Mining Company, Manchuria Aviation Company, Manchuria Artificial Petroleum Company, and Manchuria Textile Company
, Manchuria Woolen Weaving Association, Manchuria Chemical Industry Association, Manchuria Forestry Association, Manchuria Gold Mining Association, Manchuria Livestock Products Association, Manchuria Fisheries Association, Manchuria Tobacco Association, Manchuria Agricultural Products Commune, Manchuria Development Commune and more than 40 special associations. These associations
It is jointly funded by Japanese investors and Manchukuo. When profits are made, they are shared in proportion to the shares of both parties. When losses occur, the Manchukuo government guarantees 10% of the profits for the island country's investment.
My purpose is very clear, to quickly occupy the markets in various places before the laws of Manchukuo are perfected! Grain, skins, meat, and mountain products are the main targets of our business, and the minerals can only be watched by them.
Everyone doesn’t understand why I want to send out grain and canned food. Think about it with your head. If we don’t perform better to satisfy Manchukuo and the Japanese military headquarters, can our business be launched in various counties? If skins, grain,
The meat was confiscated by the Japanese, which not only harmed the people in the Northeast, but also provided them with supplies. Is this the best result?"
Hu Zhiyong's words shocked everyone. They understood that the young master of the Hu family was not just a carrot with a red heart and a white skin, but also had long-term and comprehensive considerations. The doubts were solved, and everyone was talking in low voices.
"Everyone must understand why they invaded China's land. It's for resources! Shopping malls are like battlefields. We only have a few years, so we must attack first. Canning factories and needing meat are our reasons. Clothing factories
, the leather shoe factory is also a cover for us to seize hides and cotton. The reason for food is more sufficient. We need to raise a large number of animals to meet the needs of our own cannery!
Are the Japanese fools? No! They haven't had time to consider this yet, and of course they won't allow others to get their hands on the supplies. I can only use a cooperative attitude to improve the relationship between the two, so that we can achieve the expected goals.
!”
After Hu Zhiyong finished speaking, he sat on the chair and looked at everyone. Liang Chengfu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "We are rough people, and we can't do it with our weak minds. Master, you don't have to reason with us in the future, just give us orders!"
"Really?" Hu Zhiyong smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that everyone will think that I am a traitor and shoot me behind the back!"
"Wow -" everyone laughed, and Ma Xiandeng said seriously: "If your reason is unreasonable, blackmail will definitely happen!"
Yinlong slammed the table, startling everyone. He stood up majestically and said to all the three-level leaders of the military, government and business: "Everyone has finished speaking? You all have reasons, right? Fart, that's pure
fart!"
When Hu Zhiyong saw Yinlong getting angry, he stood up quickly. He waved his hand: "Sit down and listen to me first!"
"Is the third young master worthy of everyone's trust?"
"Does this need to be said? We won't stay if we don't believe him!" Lei Hu, the leader of the fifth regiment, said loudly.
"Do you think this is trust? Do you think that every action must be questioned by everyone before it can be taken? Wrong! There are three to four hundred people in the venue. To be honest, I can't guarantee that they are all sincerely serving the country and the people. Once one person betrays everyone,
After betraying the young master and betraying our plan, Zhuang He will be completely destroyed without your understanding or suspicion!"
Everyone was shocked and nodded unconsciously.
"Yes!" Liang Chengfu stood up, took Yinlong's words and said: "The military commander is right, this kind of doubt will not be allowed to happen again in the future. As the saying goes: Brothers working together can break gold. We must ensure that we work hard.
Working together, working together! Today I made a mistake first, please allow me to punish myself with one month's salary!"
"Commander, Commander Liang, I am a bastard, and I am dissatisfied with the young master!" Ma Xiandeng stood up and bowed to Hu Zhiyong: "Master, I believe no one is dissatisfied with you, but looking at the rampant
The Japanese soldiers were anxious."
"Hahahaha!" Hu Zhiyong burst into laughter and waved for everyone to sit down.
"I can understand everyone's mood! Brothers, if the robbers enter any house, everyone will fight to the death! But you can't, comrades. Because, if we die, China will lose one hot-blooded man. We are not as powerful as us.
The Japanese army does not mean that we will allow the robbers to lie comfortably in our homes. There is a foreign president who was familiar with China's Sun Tzu's Art of War. He once said this:
[If a general is overwhelmed by his anger and the ants attack him, killing one-third of his soldiers but not taking out the city, this is a disaster. Therefore, those who are good at using troops will subdue the enemy's troops instead of fighting, and pull out the enemy's city instead of attacking it.
"If you want to destroy someone's country but not for a long time, you will have to fight for it all in the world. Therefore, if you don't stop the army, you can win. This is the way to plan an attack."
"Pull out a city instead of attacking it, destroy a country instead of destroying it. Well said!" Liang Chengfu shouted: "China is a huge country, and there is never a shortage of hot-blooded men. The little devil can only burn down our house.
, occupying our resources, but they cannot take away our land and the roots of the Chinese people!"
Everyone clapped vigorously, and their morale was greatly encouraged by the words of Hu Zhiyong and Liang Chengfu. At the end of the meeting, they all left the conference room amid cheerful discussions. There were only five people left in the huge house for a while.
Shi Yinshi served as the county magistrate of the two counties, and Liang Chenghua was the president of the chamber of commerce of the two counties. Commander Yinlong and Division Commander Liang Chengfu served as military supervisors. These five people controlled the military, political and commercial lifelines of Zhuanghe and Xiuyan.
Forty-year-old Liang Chenghua was originally a section chief in the logistics department of the Northeastern Army. He was very business-savvy and was promoted to the number one position in business by Hu Zhiyong.
"Master, there are 300 counties and 19 provincial capitals in Manchuria. According to your instructions, 12 people are assigned to the counties and 15 people are assigned to the provincial capitals. Of the 6,000 people, more than 4,000 were transferred from the army, and more than 1,000 were selected from the local governments.
"
Liang Chenghua handed Hu Zhiyong a list of people from various places, with detailed personal files of these people written on it. Hu Zhiyong said with admiration: "It's not easy. You can complete this in four days. Your work ability is really efficient!"
"Young Master, the army immediately transferred two regiments. We have eight infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and one cavalry regiment, and only six infantry regiments are left." Liang Chengfu suggested: "It is right to compress the troops, but they must be further rectified!
"
Yinlong said slowly: "There are still two divisions, artillery and cavalry under the command of the military headquarters. You only have three infantry regiments to defend Xiuyan."
"Can Xiuyan survive without artillery?" Liang Chengfu asked anxiously.
"Yes, the First Artillery Battalion lives outside Xiuyan County, but its command belongs to the military headquarters!" Hu Zhiyong joked: "You don't think this deprives you of your command, do you?"
"Hey, I'm still the deputy commander." Liang Chengfu laughed. He knew that this was a more direct concentration of command, so he was not surprised.
"The battlefield is not too close to us yet, but we must not be careless. We must pay attention to troop training and patrols, and severely punish those who neglect their duties!" After Yinlong became the commander of the army, he almost seemed to be a different person. His majesty and momentum changed.
Hu Zhiyong nodded secretly: "He is like a general, but I am like a clown. Hey, my vision is pretty good!"
Liang Chengfu was also worried about Yinlong, but in just ten days of contact, his view of Yinlong changed fundamentally. He was calm, refined, and decisive, and he was indeed qualified to be an army commander.
"Yes, the current main focus is commercial war and economic war. The mission of the army is to protect our two counties from being invaded by bandits and occupied by the Japanese army." Hu Zhiyong looked at Yinlong with satisfaction: "I can rest assured that the army will be left to you and Commander Liang.
, continue to intensify training, and I will send them to the battlefield in five years!"
"Five years later, in 1937?" Yinlong and Liang Chengfu were refreshed. They knew that the young master must have his own intentions when he said this.
"In the second half of 1937, Japan will launch a full-scale war of aggression against China. Let me tell you, at that time the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will cooperate for the second time, and the period of the Chinese War of Resistance has truly arrived! Guys, in these five years, we have to reserve a lot of
Weapons, supplies, food, and more importantly, we need to select outstanding soldiers to add to the army to take over your defense. Commander Liang, don't be happy yet. Once you get out of Zhuanghe, many people will die in the cruel war!"
"Master, I have lived for six more years, and I will not spare the little Japs even if I die on the battlefield!" Liang Chengfu laughed and expressed his willingness to go to the front line.
"Report, Kameda and captain Akino are here to visit!" Mongoose ran to the door and reported loudly.
"Qiuye?" Hu Zhiyong said: "Let them come in!"
"yes!"
Mengang left, and the four Yinlongs hurriedly said goodbye. Hu Zhiyong called to Shi Yinshi: "Third uncle, you stay."
"Me?" Shi Yinshi shook his head: "I can't deal with the little devil, so it's better to hide."
"This is not okay. As an important member of the government agency, if you don't know how to deal with it, you will be in trouble." Hu Zhiyong stopped him: "Don't worry, they are not tigers!"
"Master Hu, is the tiger more powerful or the wolf?" Qiuye stood at the door with one hand on the handle of his sword and stared at Hu Zhiyong.
