Chapter 99 Burma Highway Project

"What you said makes sense. It seems that I really want to report it to the central government and start building roads immediately," Long Yun said

"Yeah! But I hope that the road will be completed by the end of three to five years, and it would be best to build a few more roads to Burma in the end. Although Yunnan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Japanese can still bomb our roads with planes

, Repairing a few more will definitely be safer," Wang Jiuling said, but now that he has changed many things, he is not sure whether the Japanese will still launch a war according to the historical time, so he only hopes that everything will be completed as soon as possible.

"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about international affairs at such a young age. Why don't you come here to help me?" Long Yun said.

"Haha, I am too lazy to do anything now. Otherwise, it will be too miserable if I am sacrificed again one day. So now I plan to open a film company, and I want Chairman Long to help me. I want to buy some equipment?" Wang Jiuling

How could Zhengchou open his mouth? Unexpectedly, Long Yun would give him a chance.

"What equipment do you want to buy?" I'll try my best to help you

"I may not have a lot of money at the moment, so even if I buy a camera, I may not have the money to make a movie. Therefore, I plan to release records first, and then I need to buy related equipment. Then, Chairman Long has a wide network of contacts. Can you introduce some music knowledge?"

Let me know talents, such as those who can compose music and lyrics, who can play violin and piano...I want them all."

"I actually know one of the composers. He doesn't have a living right now, so he should be willing to go to your place. But there's nothing we can do about the others. Those people are either kids from rich families who just play for fun, so they definitely don't want to go to your place.

, or they are from the dance hall, I don’t know them, you can look for them yourself." Long Yun said: "But if you have anything else that I can help with, just tell me?"

Wang Jiuling saw that Long Yun was so polite and that he really needed it, so he said to Long Yun: "There is something that Chairman Long can definitely help with!"

Long Yun originally meant his words to be polite, but he didn't expect that Wang Jiuling really existed. It would be bad if it was more difficult to deal with. When he was still very calm, he said: "You said?"

Wang Jiuling said: "I am still being chased by the Japanese, so I need some weapons for self-defense. I want to buy four heavy machine guns, three ZB-26 Czech light machine guns, and three 80-caliber mortars. In addition, Hanyang

Make 20,000 rounds of rifle ammunition..." After saying this, Wang Jiuling looked at Long Yun

Long Yun did not answer his words, but said: "Why don't you come to my place? I'm not afraid of the Japanese. I have everything you want here. You don't have to worry about the lives of your hundreds of people."

Wang Jiuling thought that Long Yun didn't want to help, but he still smiled and said: "Thank you, I have 1,400 to 500 people, and I have bought a large area of ​​land!"

"That's it! Are you in Yunnan? If so, I can send an army to station next to you!" Long said sincerely.

"In Yanbian County on the edge of Sichuan, Yunnan is across from us!" Wang Jiuling said with a smile. In fact, he shouldn't have told others, but there will be too many things that require Long Yun's help in the future, and Long Yun is the only one here now.

, As long as Long Yun doesn't tell anyone, no one will spread the word. Although this is more risky, Wang Jiuling still chooses to believe Long Yun. If he doesn't believe others, how can he make others believe you?

"Then I won't force you. Come to Yunnan whenever you want. I will give you the things you want," Long Yun said calmly.

"Ah?" I wondered if Long Yun had said something wrong, or if he had heard something wrong.

Looking at Wang Jiuling's expression, Long Yun knew that he couldn't believe his ears, so he repeated: "I will give you the weapons and equipment you want!"

Wang Jiuling was sure that Long Yun was serious this time and said: "Those weapons are worth a lot of money! Chairman Long, don't regret it then!"

"Haha, of course not!" Long Yun laughed.

"you sure!"

Long Yun smiled and said, "I'm sure!"

Wang Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay!" Long Yun thought that Wang Jiuling was taking advantage of him to say that, but he didn't expect that Wang Jiuling had a sudden change and said, "Chairman Long is so generous. If I don't show it today, I will be stingy."

"

Wang Jiuling looked around to make sure there was no one there, then he hooked his hand at Long Yun, gesturing for Long Yun to come closer. Long Yun was curious to see Wang Jiuling's mysterious look, so he moved his head closer and asked, "What's going on?"

Wang Jiuling said: "It's like this. The United States is currently in an economic crisis, which is what Americans call the Great Depression. The Great Depression has caused the price of silver to drop sharply, and the United States is a traditional big country that produces silver. Now the United States and American capital control the world's silver production.

And silver smelting is about 60 to 70%. Silver is very important to the seven western states where production is concentrated, namely New Mexico and Nevada. Senators from these seven silver-producing states control

The 17 voting rights in the Senate are centered on legislators from these states, especially those from the Democratic Party, and include producers of copper, lead, zinc and other by-products of silver, forming the so-called silver group."

"I won't talk about the American system, but the U.S. government and politicians have found that only by pleasing the Silver Group can they successfully pass other policies or bills. Now that the silver price is so low, those lawmakers will certainly not be happy. The money they make

Suddenly there was a lot less.”

"If the U.S. government and other congressmen do not consider the interests of these silver dollars, then these congressmen will not give them face. Therefore, if the U.S. government wants to gain the support of these seven states, it must increase the price of silver. Then it must

Raising the price of silver will cause a large number of people to lose their jobs and factories to close down. Relying on economic stimulus is obviously not enough. Therefore, the only way is to purchase a certain amount of silver through the government and impose a minimum price limit. The transaction must not be lower than that price, just like ours.

Salt is also related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, and we must control the price.”

"In addition, the United States was a beneficiary of China's open door. China was the only major country at that time that actually still adhered to the silver standard, and it was also the most populous country in the world. Raising the price of silver increased China's external purchasing power, opening up opportunities for American goods.

With the creation of a vast market, America's excess cars and wheat can be sold, which will help the United States get out of the economic crisis at that time. On the other hand, raising the price of silver can also use it to hit China's industry and weaken the competition between Chinese goods and American goods, because

Low silver prices have led to low purchasing power in China. Chinese people can only buy cheap goods from their own country, which promotes the development of Chinese industry and reduces the sales of American goods in China, thus making China the United States' "most destructive power in the world market."

Competitors "If the price of silver increases, the value of the Chinese currency will rise, increase the cost of Chinese industrial products, weaken the competitiveness of Chinese products, thereby benefiting American entrepreneurs and farmers."

"In short, next year or the year after that, the U.S. government will definitely purchase a large amount of silver, and the price of silver will go up all the way. However, the United States is so far away from China and the information is not well-informed. For example, one silver dollar sells for one U.S. dollar now, but by that time

, maybe one silver dollar sells for three dollars or four dollars... Because China is too far away from the United States, the price changes rapidly in the United States. Waiting for one silver dollar to reach three dollars to China, when the Chinese people are selling silver dollars wantonly, the United States has already risen to

Five dollars, six dollars per dollar, then the middleman will make off the difference in price, so if Chairman Long wants to make this money, he can be prepared."
