Chapter 136: The Strength is Not Afraid of Challenges (1)
Chapter 1360 If you have strength, you are not afraid of challenges (Part 1)
On the night of August 8th, there were storms, thunder and lightning.
The hour hand has pointed to eleven o'clock, and the small conference hall on the third floor of Nanjing General Hospital is brightly lit.
In the evening, An Yi had lifted the drug sealing treatment and regained consciousness all over his body. However, the sudden gain of control over his body made him feel a little uncomfortable and his limbs had little strength. So he was carried by Xiaojiu to the third floor. Shen Fengdao answered He was carried into a wheelchair, and then Feng Jieyun and Ou Chuer, who rushed to Nanjing for a meeting, pushed the wheelchair to the conference hall.
At this moment, in the conference hall, Lao Shoudao, Zhu Peide, Zhan Huanqi, Zhang Hongluan, Zhang Cunzhuang, Shi Zhen and other Southwest Alliance executives gathered together, Jiangnan Group General Manager Zhou Chongan, Oriental Group General Manager He Jing, Nanyang European Style Consortium representative Zhou Tiance, and North American Chinese Youth Society representative Ma Zhiyuan , Feng Zhihe, representative of Hongxing Society, and Zheng Jun, representative of Hong Kong Nanhua Group, were present.
When the entire party and army across the country were taking stock of their assets and reorganizing their armaments in preparation for a full-scale war of resistance, the Southwest *** Military Alliance also began to examine its own strength. In this contest that is related to the life and death of the country and the nation, it must understand its own situation and formulate policies accordingly. Only with a one-step policy plan can we be invincible.
The conference was chaired by Lao Shoudao, the great steward of the Anjia Army. He first reviewed the arduous development of the Anjia Army from scratch over the years, and conducted a systematic review of the current political, economic and military construction in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. Summary, and then each representative will speak separately.
Zhou Tiance, the representative of the Nanyang European Style Consortium, stood up first, bowed to An Yi, and nodded to everyone in the conference room: "Uncle, miss, madam, seniors, I am entrusted by the boss to attend this meeting. The boss said that the whole Europe The five million employees of his consortium across Southeast Asia, South Asia, Europe and North America will be China's strong backing in the war of resistance. If necessary, he will not hesitate to destroy his family to serve the country without any regrets.
"Since the Ou'an Consortium took root in Nanyang in 2025, we have launched hundreds of patented products. Among them, the huge profits from sulfonamide drugs have enabled the group to develop rapidly. Because at that time, sulfonamide tablets and sulfonamide injection were the only ones that could treat pneumonia. We are the only one in the world that owns the patent for special medicines for sepsis, meningitis, dysentery, gunshot wound inflammation and suppuration. During this period, our pharmaceutical factory has repeatedly increased production capacity, but the sulfa products produced are still in short supply at ten times the price. , causing the entire group to grow at an explosive rate.
"In just over two years, the group's assets have reached hundreds of millions of dollars. During this period, the group has successively invested in the construction of shoe factories, rubber factories, bicycle factories, tire factories, bearing factories, automobile assembly plants, and motorcycle factories in old Nanchang. , a tractor factory and a pharmaceutical factory that produces sulfa and quinine tablets, but the group's business in Nanyang is still growing at an explosive rate, and its business scope is gradually expanding.
"Later, after the Xiangxi Pharmaceutical Research Institute obtained the patent for penicillin and developed a method for large-scale production of penicillin, our European Group's pharmaceutical factory was the only authorized production factory in Asia besides the three pharmaceutical factories in China. Now everyone has become interested in penicillin. It is not as mysterious as before, but at that time, this drug was the only drug for treating hemolytic streptococcus infection, Streptococcus pneumoniae infection, anthrax, tetanus, syphilis, leptospirosis, relapsing fever, diphtheria and many other incurable diseases. Known as a miracle drug that can do anything, it was once sold for as high as US$5,000 a bottle on the black market. You can imagine how huge the profits were.
"In the past few years, the group has used its surplus funds to open banks across Nanyang to provide deposit and loan services. Now Nanyang Bank has become the largest commercial bank in Southeast Asia. At the same time, the group has been aggressively acquiring rubber plantations and reclamation sites.
, spice gardens and coal, iron, tin and other mines
, and during the economic crisis, the group acquired many bankrupt ocean-going fleets in the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, the British Straits Settlements, Burma, India and other places, coupled with the 10,000-ton freighters purchased from the United States, the group established a fleet of 64
bulk carriers, fifty-two container ships, seven
A huge fleet of eleven passenger ships and sixty-nine oil tankers has enabled the resources of various companies within the group to complement each other, greatly saving costs. In addition, we also own more than one hundred ocean-going fishing vessels, operating from the East Indian Ocean
, the continuous fishing of marine fish in the Western Pacific has made our
Seafood processing factories, condiment factories, canned food factories and other industries centered on offshore fisheries have sufficient supply of goods. The series of canned seafood products produced by our cannery are popular around the world. A large number of dried seafood and canned fish shipped to southern Sichuan are also
Partially solved the problem of malnutrition among the people.
“What greatly encourages the whole group is that, thanks to my uncle’s guidance, our geological exploration team has successively discovered large oil fields in the Dutch East Indies and the Indochina Peninsula, especially the discovery of the Minas Oilfield, which has brought new resources to the group.
Continuous profits. Worried about the extortion by the British and Dutch governments, the group adopted the form of joint development with the American Rockefeller Foundation, with us making the initial investment and
Providing oil workers, the Rockefeller Consortium is responsible for organizing exploration and after-sales services. Although we only hold 30% of the shares of the oil field, we quickly transform oil into wealth through the Rockefeller Consortium's huge sales network, and we also use this to draw closer
It established a relationship with the Rockefeller Foundation and avoided unnecessary intervention by the British and Dutch colonial governments. Most of the oil currently used in the country comes from the output of the Minas oil field.
"Now, in addition to three large-scale copper mines in Dutch New Guinea, the group also owns two nickel mines in the Philippines and two tin mines in the British Straits Settlements. At the same time, for the needs of the group's own development, it has
Beginning in 1932, the group began capital expansion in South Asia and settled in Goa, Portugal.
In the area north of the civilian area, four large-scale iron mines were acquired, and four large-scale steel companies with an annual steel output of more than 500,000 tons were invested and built in southern India. Later, they invested in and built steel companies in India and Myanmar capable of producing a full range of weapons.
A large military factory that can produce pistols, rifles, light and heavy machinery
All weapons and equipment including guns, grenades and cannons, if the production line is fully operational, can provide 50,000 Wilburly Scott revolvers, 100,000 Lee Enfield Type IV rifles, and a Brown light machine gun every month
Ten thousand Vickers Mark I heavy machine guns, ten M36 grenades
Thousands of pieces. The only pity is that these production lines are purchased from the arsenal factories of the bankrupt British colonies, and all the weapons produced are British-made weapons. In order to adapt to the future war between China and Japan, these arsenals are undergoing technological upgrades and transformations, so that
The 7.62 caliber bullet suitable for China.
"After years of development, the Ou Shi Group has become the largest industrial group in Southeast Asia, spanning the most categories and having the largest number of employees. There are 200,000 employees officially registered in each colony alone. Plus we
A large number of farms were built under various names in the Philippines, Dutch East Indies, French Annan, British Channel and other colonies.
, absorbing Chinese refugees who have gone south since September 18, the total number of employees has so far exceeded 5 million. As a result, the group has become the leader of the Nanyang Chinese consortium. The boss relies on the group's strong influence to unite extensively with overseas Chinese in Nanyang and organize "Nanyang"
The Overseas Chinese Alliance' and the 'Nanyang Anti-Japanese Salvation Association' have become a political force that cannot be ignored in supporting China's war of resistance."
Zhou Tiance's words attracted bursts of applause in the conference room. With the material supply from the Ou Consortium, everyone has further confidence in the upcoming Sino-Japanese war.
If Zhou Tiance's words boosted the morale of the Southwest Alliance with Anjiajun at its core, then the subsequent speech by Feng Zhihe, the representative of Hongxing Society, solved the worries of the Southwest Alliance.
Feng Zhihe once served as the head of Hongxing Society in Boni. Due to his outstanding performance, he has been promoted to the economic minister of the society. In fact, Hongxing Society can be said to be a society and economic organization with patriotic ideas. In the beginning,
A Biao takes people to Xiang
The hard work in Hong Kong was just a small fight, barely making a living, but as a large number of Anjiajun veterans who had received professional military skills training joined the organization, Hongxing Society was inevitably tied to the Anjiajun chariot.
, showing explosive expansion momentum.
Hung Hing Society initially only owned a few transit terminals in Hong Kong. Under the guidance of Ou Yaoting, it built Hong Kong's largest transit warehouse in Kowloon Tong, and also established a transit terminal between Shanghai, Ningbo, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Nanyang.
Ocean fleet.This
Most of the cargo ships in the fleet of more than 1,000 tons flew the British flag. Later, with the addition of a large number of ships purchased by the United States, routes were opened to Nanjing, Nanchang, Wuhan, Yichang, Chongqing, Xufu and other places. Its influence in Hong Kong is second only to that of Hong Kong.
Nanhua Group came from behind.
Under the cover of these apparent businesses, there is also the smuggling business of heroin, ecstasy, methamphetamine and other drugs that countries do not pay much attention to in this era. It has gradually extended its tentacles to Southeast Asia, India and Europe. At the same time, it has cooperated with Sanxin Company in Shanghai, North America
The Huaqing Society joined hands to monopolize more than 80% of the global drug market.
As the business grew bigger and bigger, there were more and more fights with underworld organizations in various places, and the personal safety of society members was seriously threatened. Under this situation, Hongxing Society introduced a large number of retired Anjia Army soldiers and organized a group
Armed with extremely terrifying armed forces, sweeping across Southeast Asia
The underworld has established branches and gangs throughout Nanyang, attracted overseas Chinese to join the gang, and established a security company armed to the teeth. At the same time, it purchased land and rubber plantations from the colonial government and local indigenous people, and immigrated from areas prone to disasters in the country.
Carry out planting.
After the September 18th Incident, under the joint efforts of Zhou Chongan, Ou Yaoting and Zhang Xi, the migration of immigrants to the south intensified, and the influence of Hongxing Society also expanded rapidly. In the past ten years, Hongxing Society has resettled a total of 300 refugees.
With more than 500,000 people, it is the second largest group in Nanyang after the European Group.
The Hongxing Society is extremely well-organized. In order to strengthen the control over society members, a training camp the size of the Anjia Army Xiangxi Non-Commissioned Officer Training Base was built in the Lantau Island area. Professional instructors were sent from the Xufu Non-commissioned Officer School to teach, and the training subjects almost included those from the Non-Commissioned Officer School.
all categories,
Even subjects such as radio, special operations, and linguistics are taught. When the Anjia Army divisions and guard divisions were dismantled, grassroots non-commissioned officers who retired and did not want to live an ordinary life came to Hong Kong one after another to serve as leaders at all levels of the organization, as well as in the main hall and branch halls.
Inspectors, ideological instructors and other positions.
Those who join the Hongxing Society must first be Chinese, and must receive systematic training in the base. Only after passing the exam can they officially join the club. The training and exams include literacy, fighting, shooting, teamwork, mastering the languages of various Southeast Asian countries, etc.
For targeted subjects, during the study period, there will be one after dinner every day
Hours of ideological education classes are devoted to learning An Jiajun’s nationalist thoughts and the spirit of the model camp. Brothers who have been promoted have to return to the training camp again to receive higher-level training. Therefore, no matter how Hongxing Society is doing so far,
As it develops and grows, An Jiajun still firmly holds the soul of the entire society in his hands.
After twelve years of development, Hongxing Society has become the de facto first society in Southeast Asia, serving cities such as Hanoi, Saigon, Bangkok, Yangon, Sin Chew, Palembang, Jakarta, Surabaya, Banana, Makassar, Manila, etc.
All of them have been infiltrated by Hongxing Society, and the local underworld organizations have been almost wiped out. The remaining ones can only survive by selling themselves to others. These organizations have become the outside lines of Hongxing Society, responsible for doing some business that Hongxing Society is difficult to deal with.
Hongxingshe made huge profits by selling drugs, counterfeit currency, smuggling arms, cigarettes, medicines, etc. Most of this money was remitted to Southwest Bank through Nanyang Bank, providing a steady stream of money for the development of Anjiajun and his allies.
funds.
Since An Yi noticed from the beginning that once China's coastal areas were invaded by the Japanese army, China's external communication lines would be interrupted, which would lead to the depletion of strategic supplies and make it unsustainable, so he specifically instructed Hongxing Society to increase its control of the French territory.
The corruption of Annan colonial officials affected the colonial government's political decisions.
Due to the competition that emerged after Myanmar built the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and its own desire to expand trade and gain greater profits, the French colonial authorities approved the duplication of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway in 1934 under the money and beauty offensive of Hongxing Society.
According to the construction plan, after three years of continuous construction, the railway was completed in April this year. The 854-kilometer railway from Haiphong, Vietnam to Kunming, Yunnan has been completed as a double-track railway. The transportation capacity between French Annan and southwest China has suddenly increased several times.
At the same time, the high-standard road No. 240 Highway 240 in Hanoi, which was built by the French Annan colonial government with great efforts, and ended in Jiangcheng, was widened again. The sand and gravel roads were all paved with asphalt, and water transportation was also
As the colonial government widened and deepened the river, its transportation capacity was greatly increased.
All of these have resulted in French Annan becoming the largest trading partner in the southwest, and also allowing the French Annan colony to obtain high profits from border trade every year, becoming a cash cow for the French government, which it cherishes and cares for. This is also "
After the "gas bomb incident" broke out, there was an important reason why France did not agree with the United States, Britain and other countries. Moreover, the Anjia Army also firmly believed that with common interests, France would be able to resist the pressure exerted by the Communist Party and before the outbreak of the European War, it would
Cooperation lasts for a long time.
Now, goods from Southeast Asia and all over the world can be continuously transported to mainland China as long as they are transported to various port cities along the coast of Vietnam. And along the railway lines in French Annan, many Anjia soldiers who took off their military uniforms and put on civilian clothes
Soldiers, on weekdays***
Speaking broken French and local dialect, they fight fiercely, collect protection fees, and engage in the business of selling drugs, counterfeit money and contraband. They are just like ordinary gang members, but no one knows that their main task is
Silently guarding the safety of these transportation lines.
As Feng Zhihe's explanation ended, the audience once again burst into warm applause.
