When Chen Bo mentioned the words "Operation Golden Lily", Yang Zhen's heart suddenly moved. He remembered that he had indeed heard about this incident in a book in later generations. [.Com text] The Japanese army wanted to plunder
China Fortune is a specially established secret intelligence agency with powerful hands and eyes.
This agency took advantage of the Japanese army's situation on the battlefield and plundered a large amount of almost astronomical wealth from the occupied areas. According to post-war estimates by the US military intelligence department, from the September 18th Incident to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army plundered at least as much wealth from mainland China.
A fortune worth six thousand tons of gold.
Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, this astronomical wealth was used in part to pay for the war and to supplement the gold and foreign exchange reserves that had been consumed by more than half due to the all-out invasion of China and the import of rubber, oil, metal and other military raw materials that were in short supply in Japan.
At least 60% went into the pockets of the Japanese royal family.
It was precisely by relying on the large amounts of wealth plundered from China and later Southeast Asia that the Japanese royal family was able to continue to live and drink after World War II, and could still support other princes and princes who had their so-called imperial status revoked. You know, every year after the war, Japan
The royal family has to provide huge subsidies to subsidize those royal members who no longer have royal status and therefore no income.
Just relying on the 300 million yen paid to the royal family from the national treasury, which is equivalent to a subsidy of 3 million U.S. dollars, is enough to support fifteen palace families, large and small, and hundreds of families. And only these 300 million yen can be traveled by oneself.
It only went up before I came here, and it wasn't that much before.
It turns out that Yang Zhen never understood how much financial resources this little devil emperor had. Now he realizes that more than half of the huge wealth that China lost during the war of resistance actually went into the pockets of that bullshit emperor. ***, these guys
Bastards. They are enjoying the wealth gained from selling drugs that have poisoned countless Chinese people. They even boast that they got it by investing in stocks. Damn it. They really think that their bullshit stocks are
Made of gold?
Judging from the confessions, the biggest means by which the so-called Kodama Organization made money during the war, apart from the few gold mines it seized and the blatant murder and robbery, was drugs.
What a bullshit emperor, he is just a big drug dealer. If you don’t know, the opium production in Northeast China alone reaches 500 to 600 tons a year. This does not include Rehe, which is the largest in the Kwantung Army-controlled area.
Opium production area. Five to six hundred tons. What number is this? How many Chinese people will be killed and their families will be destroyed.
Guo Bingxun and Chen Bo looked at Yang Zhen's face turning blue and purple, and knew that he was really angry. They were also angry about this kind of thing, but what could they do with anger? Not to mention that they couldn't control it within the pass, except for the base areas in the Puppet Manchuria
How far can I extend my hand? Apart from trapping this world, what can I do? At least it cannot be solved in a short time.
Fortunately, several large gold mines are located in the Lesser Khingan Mountains. Now most of the Lesser Khingan Mountains are controlled by our own troops, which means that these gold mines are also controlled by our own hands. Losing our largest financial source besides drugs, we also
It can be said that a certain amount of losses have been recovered. At least all the gold produced by the Puppet Manchukuo will not be shipped back to Japan.
Yang Zhen knocked on the table, calmed down and said to Guo Bingxun and Chen Bo: "The pass is too far away, and our hands can't reach there. But in the Puppet Manchukuo, we can't do nothing and just watch the little devils.
Take away my Zhonghuaji's five thousand wealth and leave behind piles of bones?"
"Old Chen, you are the Minister of Social Affairs of the Military Region, in charge of counterintelligence work and social security in the base area. You go to Chen Long, and you two can think of a way. Even if you can't break the little devil's big network, you must try your best to get him.
Tear it apart. Especially the heroin manufacturing factory they set up in Fengtian, they tried every means to destroy it."
Hearing this, Chen Bo said with a bitter face: "Commander, this is not easy to handle. The Japanese opium dens are almost all over the Northeast. I'm afraid not even the Kwantung Army Headquarters knows how many there are except themselves. There are also
There are large and small brothels all over Manchukuo, we can’t blow up all the brothels, right?”
"The heroin manufacturing factory in Fengtian is very large and heavily guarded. It is also located in the hinterland of southern Manchuria, thousands of miles away from us. It's a long way, so small troops can't go there, and big troops can't get there, so we can't get our wings and fly there. Besides,
As long as the opium base in Jehol remains, even if we blow up the factory, they can still build it at any time."
"Commander, the land in Rehe is barren, with mountain soil, and the grain yield itself is low. It has been an important production area of opium since the late Qing Dynasty. Now the devil is forcing the people to destroy their fields to grow opium. I am afraid that the current opium production there is far away.
Far greater than food."
"You little devil, you don't care about the life and death of the Chinese people in Rehe. Even if there is a good year there, there is not enough food to eat. Now that a large area of land is being forced to plant opium, there is not enough food. How many people will starve to death in Rehe this year?
What about the Chinese?”
"Our troops in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region have tried several times to establish an anti-Japanese base area in Rehe, but they have been unable to stand and can only carry out guerrilla warfare on a small scale. The main reason for this is that the enemy and puppet forces are too strong, and the combat effectiveness of the puppet Manchukuo army is far away.
Beyond the puppet troops in the Pass, food cannot be solved. If too few troops are sent, it will not work. If too many troops are sent, supplies cannot be solved at all."
"Before I came here, the central government had talked to me and said that the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was forming the Jire-Liaoning March Army and was preparing to mobilize some of its effective forces to go north to Rehe. In addition to establishing Jidong and Pingxi anti-Japanese base areas, it also wanted to coordinate our efforts in northern Manchuria.
battle. At the same time, we hope that our troops can find opportunities to go south and form a north-south coordination with the troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region heading north. In the final analysis, we want to open up a straight line with the Anti-Japanese Alliance instead of taking the road north of the Yangtze River."
"Only after I arrived, I discovered that this hope was impossible to achieve at least in a short period of time. From the Xiajiang base to Rehe, not to mention the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains, the thousands of kilometers along the way are mostly flat grasslands. Along the way there are
Not to mention the heavy Japanese and puppet army groups and the puppet-Mongolian army with a large number of cavalry, there is also a serious lack of supply locations."
"The troops heading north from Guan Nei were unable to confront the Japanese and puppet troops head-on due to problems with their weapons, equipment and training. Except for the weapons of the 115th Division when they were divided, most of the troops in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were confiscated civilian guns and
Weapons and equipment discarded when the 29th Army retreated south."
"Later, when fighting the Japanese and puppet troops, some Japanese equipment was seized one after another. But Commander, the equipment of our army in the pass is too poor. Although there is an arsenal, based on technology and equipment, we can only repair some damaged items.
guns and some black powder grenades. The Nationalist Government did not distribute them, so most of the equipment had to be seized."
"In the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Hanyang has produced good guns. There are very few guns like the Zhongquan, Liao 13, and Czech guns. If every company in a regiment is equipped with a light machine gun, it would be amazing. It can be 30%
If your troops are equipped with three or eight large caps, they will be the main force among the main forces."
"We don't like the crooked gun here, but it is a first-class good gun over there. Although the performance is incomparable with the Czech gun, but in the case of poor firepower, it is better than nothing. If it is seized
If you perform the 92 style, the commander's mouth will be filled with joy."
"The most critical thing is that ammunition is extremely scarce. Except for a small amount of reloaded ammunition, we can only rely on seizures. If the main force group can have fifteen rounds of ammunition per person in a battle, it will be a big player. In local divisional troops,
Generally, only five rounds are fired at most.”
"There is only one artillery regiment in the entire military region equipped with a few small mountain cannons lost by the Jinsui Army. The total number of light and heavy mortars in the entire military region is not as many as our brigade. Even this often cannot be used because there is no artillery shells.
"
"Even if the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region spends all its resources, it will still not reach half the level of our troops' equipment. There is no need to compare in terms of ammunition. Our soldiers carry an average of 120 per person, excluding wartime replenishments.
Fire ammunition. The ammunition produced by a brigade in one year of training is enough for the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to fight for several years."
"Even if the Hebei Reliao advance army was formed specifically to cooperate with us in the battle, there is absolutely no ability to capture Rehe. And we can't reach it, at least not in a short time. Commander, as long as Rehe is still there
In the hands of the Japanese army, we have no way to completely cut off the little devils’ source of drugs.”
"If you can't cut off the sources of drugs for the Japanese, our efforts will be in vain. Unless you can get all those heavy smokers and flour-smoking people in Manchuria to quit drugs. But if this thing is so easy to quit, there will be so many people.
People sell houses, land, or even wives and daughters? Where can the little devil make money?"
Chen Bo's words silenced Yang Zhen. These words were true. Judging from the strength of the Guanchi troops, which were derided as Tubal Road by the Japanese army due to their incomplete equipment, it was simply impossible to break the blockade of the Japanese and puppet troops, occupy Rehe, and cut off the Japanese army.
source of drugs. If we do not cut off the source of drugs to the Japanese army, everything is in vain.
Even if the drug processing factory is destroyed, as long as the Japanese army still controls Rehe, the source of drugs, it can rebuild it anytime and anywhere. Moreover, the Japanese army did not blow up just this drug processing factory in Fengtian, but also in Siping and Dalian.
There are also Tianjin, Nanjing, and Shanghai within the customs. What's the use of blowing up this place?
Knowing that he was still unable to cut off the power of this black hand, Yang Zhen seemed a little anxious. He wished he could immediately set up an airborne army to burn all the opium production areas and manufacturing areas all over the Northeast.
.But now he realized that there was really nothing he could do.
Looking at Yang Zhen who looked a little anxious, Guo Bingxun, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Commander, don't be too anxious. The solution is to think about it slowly. This matter cannot be rushed. As long as we get stronger as we fight, the liberated areas will
As the number of drug sales increases, there will be fewer and fewer places for the little devils to sell drugs. Only by cutting off their sales channels is the real way to cut off this Japanese black hand."
"But it's not that we have nothing to do at the moment. Since the little devils are using all kinds of methods to attract the Chinese people to take drugs, why can't we do the opposite? We captured Jiamusi and seized a large amount of opium, morphine, and heroin.
.”
"Except for morphine, we have to keep it for our own medicine. Opium is too obvious, but heroin is a good thing. This kind of heroin looks inconspicuous, like fine white noodles, but it is the most poisonous of these drugs.
It is also the strongest one.
"It is also the most convenient one to use. You don't need a smoking gun, just a syringe or even a piece of tin foil. The little devils use this kind of stuff to make inconspicuous cigarettes and chewing gum to attract my Chinese descendants to take drugs. So.
Why can’t we do it?”
"We do not have the ability to extract heroin from opium, but we do have the ability to mix it into cigarettes to make cigarettes that are the same as those of Little Japanese. We sell them to Japanese officers and soldiers or Japanese immigrants. We captured the Fourth Division in Jiamusi
High-quality cigarettes such as Hardman and Fort, which are smuggled from the two major warehouses within the customs, can be used to make this kind of heroin cigarettes."
"Although the little devils strictly prohibit the troops from taking drugs, smoking is not prohibited. They even ration cigarettes from time to time to boost morale. The cigarettes they supply are of extremely poor quality because of the tobacco. They are not very popular with the Japanese army.
On the other hand, Hardman and Fort cigarettes produced by American and British Tobacco were very popular among Japanese military officers and soldiers because of their excellent tobacco quality. However, the Japanese army strictly controlled the inflow of materials into the customs, so it was difficult for ordinary people to obtain them."
"Aren't we going to release that Kitano Takatsu? He just used the smuggling network he established before to sell these modified cigarettes. This Japanese was the only one in the entire Puppet Manchuria who dared to open a cigarette shop privately, and he dared to put his hand out
Put it in the pocket of the Emperor of Japan. I don’t think he would have the guts to do it. Besides, there is no need for us to tell him that these cigarettes are spiked.”
"First, it can retaliate against the Japanese army for plundering China's wealth by any means. Second, it can earn some funds for us to solve our urgent needs. Third, it can greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. Commander, think about the combat effectiveness of a drug addict.
How many more? Can he still afford a gun when he is a drug addict?"
"As for whether this kind of cigarettes will fall into the hands of the people, Commander, you can rest assured. This kind of material is strictly prohibited in the customs. Not to mention that the Chinese people cannot afford it, even if they can afford it, they dare not smoke it. The Japanese and puppet police
If you are caught, if you fail, you will be charged with the crime of economically opposing the Manchus and resisting Japan, and you will be skinned even if you don't die."
"The cigarettes in these two warehouses were originally smuggled in from the pass by the Fourth Division and were intended to be sold to the Japanese troops stationed there. Wouldn't it be a pity to leave them unused? We can't train all the troops to become smokers, right? This
It’s not a good thing.”
"What we are doing is just returning to them what the Japanese army did to our compatriots. Since you can't cut off your hands, you should also think about whether you will be retaliated against when you do evil. Commander, victory
Those who do this will not be punished.”
