Chapter 749 Trap: Immigration Example Gu Shenyan

The Japanese not only blocked current affairs in the occupied areas, but also blocked information from their own people.

The funniest example is the local Japanese who summarized the American warships that were sunk in the news and fell into deep thought:
An American aircraft carrier can be sunk four or five times - will the Americans revive the technology?
The reason for this bug is that Japan's news editing agencies are unable to continue writing and can only deal with it in a perfunctory manner.

The situation was almost the same in the occupied areas of the country. Not only did the Chinese people not know the real situation, even the Japanese themselves did not know the current international situation - but the Japanese could also judge Japan's predicament from the shortage of supplies.

In fact, Japanese soldiers had already discovered that something was wrong since the second half of 43.

Their daily rations were constantly downgraded, and weapons and ammunition were not supplied as promptly as in the past.

There was even a phenomenon where Japanese soldiers secretly made deals with various anti-Japanese armed forces - they exchanged bullets and weapons for food, money, etc.

Of course, this was not because the Japanese had a change of heart, but because the cost of their collective robbery had increased massively. Every raid was more costly than income, and with untimely logistical supplies, every deficit widened the gap in supplies. They had no choice but to retreat into the city, but in order to feed themselves, they had to sell everything they could.

The samurai spirit is ultimately no match for hunger.

The situation became more serious starting in 44.

Although they opened up the bridge corridor and won the Henan-Hunan-Guangxi Campaign, they were seriously overdrawn for this eight-month campaign.

By 45, even though the Japanese army was still claiming victory all over the world, the severe shortage of supplies had made the Japanese pessimistic - of course, there were still many diehards among the Japanese devils who still firmly believed that the Great Japanese Empire would not fail and that difficulties were only temporary.

They intensified their exploitation of the Chinese people - but due to the long-term war and exploitation, there was almost no oil to be squeezed out of either the newly occupied areas or the occupied areas that had been occupied in the past.

For the sake of Japan, the Japanese soldiers cruelly and brutally plundered the last seeds of the Chinese.

Under such circumstances, the Military Control Commission and the underground party in the occupied areas joined hands for a rare time and launched wave after wave of public opinion offensives.

At the beginning, most Japanese soldiers and civilians in the occupied areas did not believe the content of this propaganda.

But after wave after wave of propaganda and the continuous collection of various information, both the Japanese soldiers and the people in the occupied areas gradually believed it.

Because some facts cannot be denied.

When a lot of information is linked together, people will judge for themselves whether it is true or false.

Faced with this situation, the Japanese began to crack down severely.

In the past, as long as the Japanese launched a severe attack, the actions of the Military Intelligence Bureau would immediately cease. But this time it was different. No matter how severely the Japanese attacked, the actions of the Military Intelligence Bureau were not only not hindered, but became more and more active.

Often, right after the Japanese arrested members of the Military Control Commission and put them in jail, these arrested members would swagger out of the jail, with a bowing and nodding warden beside them to see them off politely. When the Japanese realized that the traitors around them were behind their actions, they found that their meager power was unable to do anything about these traitors who were blatantly playing both sides!

For example, in a larger city, the Japanese garrison had at most two or three squadrons (they had to be stationed at key transportation points outside the city, and the number of defenders in the city had to be severely reduced). In the past, they could rely on traitors and puppet troops, whose number was five to ten times that of the Japanese garrison, to maintain their rule. However, when these puppet troops and traitors started to play both sides, their numerical disadvantage became apparent.

It is impossible to control effectively!
Even severe strikes cannot achieve effective results.

The wave of propaganda offensives continued one after another, and gradually the Japanese themselves began to feel guilty.

There were indeed many stubborn elements among them, but most of the Japanese soldiers were not stupid. Faced with this situation where they had the will but not the power, they slowly began to slack off - since failure was inevitable, they had to find a way out for themselves, right?

Who knows what will happen after the empire surrenders? If we are liquidated at that time, won’t we regret it to death?

On the one hand, they stepped up their efforts for fear of being singled out by Zhang Anping as an example to others, while on the other hand, people were divided and each had their own plans. Under such circumstances, the propaganda offensive launched by the Military Control Commission and the underground party achieved unimaginable results.

The traitors racked their brains to establish connections with the Military Control Commission or the underground party. For this purpose, there were even several cases of traitors secretly attacking the Japanese army - the reason for this was entirely because they wanted to establish connections with the anti-Japanese forces.

The members of the Military Control Commission were even amazed at the propaganda campaign's great effect. After seeing their once vicious enemy become vulnerable, they could only say:
Commander Zhang is awesome!
……

Shanghai.

Recently, Panda, deputy director of the pseudo-government Shanghai Police Department, has often had nightmares.

In his dream, he was tied up. With the command "Execute", the sound of a gun bolt being pulled came from behind him, followed by a crisp gunshot.

Panda woke up from nightmares several times in a sweat. Whenever he thought about what he had dreamed, he trembled all over and even became incontinent several times.

"Why are the Japanese...about to lose?"

Panda has been inattentive to his work these days and has been sighing all day long.

It's not that he hadn't thought about establishing contact with the Military Control Commission or the underground party and changing his identity early, but when he thought of his ranking on the anti-traitor list, Panda gave up the idea.

In order to curry favor with the Japanese, their hands were stained with the blood of anti-Japanese patriots. Now it is extremely difficult for them to change their ways!
How to do?
It was unknown what the pseudo-policemen outside were talking about, and occasionally there was a hearty laugh. But when Panda heard this laughter, his first feeling was that the other party was plotting to sell him out to the Military Control Commission.

This time he did not impulsively order someone to arrest someone, because... he had made such a joke several times before.

Panda glared hatefully at the fake policemen who were talking together outside, then closed the curtains, hoping to out of sight and out of mind.

Turning around, he saw himself in the mirror. Looking at himself in the mirror, he suddenly remembered a sentence from Emperor Yang of Sui:

What a nice head and neck, who should chop it off?

After the horrific result of the body being torn apart emerged in his mind, Panda said in shock:
"No! We can't just sit there and wait for death!"

But how to survive?

He had done something too ruthless in the past, and now he wants to redeem himself by making meritorious contributions. Given Zhang Shihao's personality, I'm afraid he won't let him live!
Jingle Bell

The shrill ring of the telephone rang. Panda was startled, but he forced himself to calm down and answered the phone.

"Brother-in-law, good news! Very good news!"

My brother-in-law's voice came from the phone.

After the Japanese occupied Shanghai, Panda rose from a small Chinese detective to become the deputy director of the police station. However, his brother-in-law took advantage of his power to seize wealth.

After the Military Control Commission launched its propaganda campaign, not only Panda was in a state of panic all day long, but also his brother-in-law.

The brother-in-law even resented why Panda became a traitor - completely forgetting that after Panda became a traitor, he took advantage of the situation to quickly become rich.

During this period of time, the two of them had a falling out and were showing signs of not communicating with each other, but I didn't expect that she would call him again and call him brother-in-law again.

Panda snorted: "I'm not your brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law, this is great news, let's talk business first!"

"Go ahead."

"I just came into contact with someone."

Panda immediately asked: "Military Control Commission? Or the underground party?"

My brother-in-law smiled bitterly on the other end of the phone: "Don't be ridiculous, how could they possibly contact me?"

The Military Intelligence Bureau was very "ruthless" in its actions. The Military Intelligence Bureaus in various places successively released lists of "stubborn traitors". The traitors on this list would never be accepted by the Military Intelligence Bureau.

The advantage of doing this is that other traitors will happily surrender as long as they see that they are not on the list, and at the same time shift some of their own guilt onto the traitors on the list.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. These desperate and stubborn traitors often decide to make a last stand.

But getting things done requires manpower. At this time, even if they had gathered enough manpower, they could not accomplish anything related to capturing resistance elements - because the only idea of ​​these people they gathered was to sell them at a high price!

Panda is a very obvious example. Otherwise, with his cruel and violent temperament, how could he sigh all day long?
As a listed traitor, no one came to contact his brother-in-law, which was why the other party said this with a wry smile.

Upon hearing that it was not the Military Control Commission or the underground party who sent people to contact his brother-in-law, Panda instantly lost the desire to speak and said weakly, "Then I'll hang up?"

"Don't! Don't!"

The brother-in-law was anxious: "I'm talking about good things, brother-in-law, do you want to listen?"

"Listen, go ahead."

"Do you know about global trade? I met with the people from global trade today!"

Panda snorted, "What's so great about meeting a foreign devil?"

My brother-in-law lowered his voice on the phone: "They... can help us immigrate to the United States!"

"what?"

"Really, and they can guarantee our safety." The brother-in-law said impatiently: "This is true. I heard that many people are in contact with people from Global Trade. By the way, many Japanese in the former Okamoto Company are secretly in contact with Global Trade."

Now Panda was curious: "Are the Japanese also in contact?"

"Of course, brother-in-law. If the Japanese lose, the property in their hands may no longer belong to them. Do you think they can be calm?"

Panda nodded: "That's right - by the way, are there many people who come into contact with global trade?"

"A lot, of course there are a lot. There are Japanese and Chinese. As far as I know, there are at least more than 200!"

"The conditions... should be very harsh, right?"

"Well, I heard that the immigration deposit alone is nearly 100 taels of gold, and there is also the ship ticket - damn, these foreigners are really ruthless. The ship ticket is divided into five levels, and the lowest level is 20 taels of gold! Anyway, if one person immigrates, it will cost at least 150 taels of gold!"

The normal shipping price (before the Pacific War) was that the lowest-class ticket from Shanghai to the United States was around US$100, which was equivalent to about two taels of gold.

This is equivalent to increasing tenfold.

But this is understandable. It is natural for foreigners to take advantage of the situation at this time.

Besides, the boat ticket is only a small expense after all, and the big expense is still the various immigration expenses.

But can global trade really absorb so many immigrants?
My brother-in-law said there were about two hundred people, but behind each person was a family. Not counting servants, there must be at least four people - and this is without considering concubines and a family with only a pair of children.

That would require between eight hundred and one thousand people.

And this is just now. This number will probably increase several times in the future.

Can global trade solve the immigration of thousands of people?
But this is just Shanghai, there are other big cities in the Japanese-occupied areas!

Nanjing, Beijing, Tianjin, Wuhan, Suzhou, Hangzhou...

How many people are there in so many big cities?
Tens of thousands of cases, can global trade really be transported?

Panda thought about it. He was of course very familiar with the name of global trade. There was no doubt that they had a strong influence in the United States, but could they really handle tens of thousands of immigrants?

Panda doesn't think money is a problem, but he does want security.

If it is not safe, then carrying so many assets over there would be like putting oneself in the arms of a tiger.
After thinking for a while, Panda said thoughtfully: "You contact them first, I will see!"

"Brother-in-law!"

The brother-in-law was getting anxious, as he was worried that he would miss this opportunity again.

"Don't worry. Since global trade is going to do this, they must have enough quotas. What's there to be afraid of later? The key is safety, don't you understand?"

……

Still Shanghai.

Fujita Kojiro came out of the military police and said to Zhu Tengwen, the global trade manager who was bailed out by him: "Mr. Zhu, I am very sorry that you have been wronged."

But Zhu Tengwen did not appreciate it, and instead said dissatisfiedly:

"Fujita-kun, you've ruined my business!"

"If you had come later, I would have developed two new customers!"

What Zhu Tengwen said was true. During the four hours he was detained by the gendarmerie, he "met" many clients who all asked him about immigration matters - even the commander of the gendarmerie headquarters secretly sent someone to him.

He had only finalized three clients. If it had been a little later, he would have definitely finalized the remaining two clients.

There are currently at least ten global trade "managers" like Zhu Tengwen in Shanghai.

Fujita Kojiro once again said, "Mr. Zhu, I'm really sorry. To express my apology, I have prepared a banquet. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

Zhu Tengwen glanced at his watch boldly - the Japanese gendarmerie did not change their temper. After confirming Zhu Tengwen's identity, they did not make things difficult for him, let alone confiscate his watch and other belongings.

"I only have two hours. I have to meet with a client at six o'clock."

"That's enough, that's enough - please, Zhu Jun."

The reason why Yasujiro Fujita was so respectful to Zhu Tengwen was because he had something to ask for.

At the simple yet luxurious banquet, Fujita Kojiro asked:
"Mr. Zhu, I have no doubt about the expenses of immigration deposit, boat tickets, etc., but I want to know how you can ensure the safety of our property?"

This is the issue that Yasujiro Fujita is most concerned about.

After the Battle of Shanghai, when Shanghai fell, Fujita Kojiro came to Shanghai to develop his business. He had the support of the Okamoto Company before, and later he became friends with the garrison. These background advantages made it easy for him to acquire huge wealth.

But now, Japan is finished!

As an invader, Fujita Yasujiro knew very well that once Japan was finished, their wealth would eventually become a mirage.

He was even prepared to hide assets such as gold and cultural relics underground and wait for the right opportunity.

But now, global trade gives him a different answer:

You can go to the United States!
It is true that after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Americans unjustly confiscated all Japanese assets in the United States.

But the United States is ultimately a country of immigrants. With the endorsement of global trade, Yasujiro Fujita does not think that his property will be confiscated by the US government this time.

But the key is global trade, will it be endorsed? Can they guarantee the safety of wealth?

Zhu Tengwen laughed: "Haha, Mr. Fujita, are you worried that global trade will be stolen during your visit to the United States? Or are you worried that the US government will unreasonably seize the country after you go there?"

Fujita Kojiro said honestly: "Both."

"First, Global Trade will open a safe deposit box business on the ship and provide bodyguard services to ensure the safety of every passenger - but the fee is separate. Well, the safe deposit box business will charge an additional 10% security insurance fee. If something is lost, Global Trade will be responsible for compensation."

This was obviously mandatory, but it was not unacceptable to Kojiro Fujita.

"Second, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will set up a tax office at the port. You will need to report all your property after you go to the United States - the IRS will collect taxes!"

"Mr. Fujita, do you understand the significance of this action?"

At this point, Zhu Tengwen said slyly, "I forgot to mention that the tax is calculated before the safe is charged! Insurance money is not tax-exempt."

ruthless!
Very cruel!
According to the current taxation in the United States, Fujita Kojiro's finances would be taxed at least 37%, and after deducting the % collected on the ship, almost half of his wealth would be gone.

But the more this happened, the more Fujita Kojiro thought this matter was reasonable.

Why would Americans do this if it's not profitable?

And it is precisely because there are huge benefits in doing so that Americans do this!
"Mr. Zhu, I understand. Thank you for telling me!"

After finishing the secret meeting with Zhu Tengwen, Kojiro Fujita locked himself in the study.

The Japanese are very smart - or rather, anyone can be very, very smart when it comes to money.

After Fujita Kojiro seized a large amount of wealth, he not only hoarded gold, but also hoarded antiques. In troubled times, the prices of antiques would be halved on a large scale, but as long as the times were prosperous, the prices of antiques would soar on a large scale.

Gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times!
However, the "leeks-cutting formation" jointly set up by global trade and the Americans allowed Kojiro Fujita to discover a loophole.

antique!

The value of antiques is seriously underestimated, and the potential for future appreciation is incredibly high. If antiques are taxed based on their current value, it would be equivalent to preserving wealth to a great extent.

"It seems that the antiques I have hoarded are still too few!"

After whispering, Fujita Kojiro decided to exchange the large amount of gold he had for antiques during this period of time.

……

It was not only Fujita who exchanged gold for antiques, many traitors and Japanese were doing this.

As a result, antiques that had always flowed to Japan suddenly began to be transferred to China on a large scale - not only did the Japanese in China want to escape, but many powerful people in Japan were also arranging for their children and relatives to escape.

Many powerful people know that they cannot escape, but their family members can!

Since Fujita Kojiro could see the loophole, how could the powerful people in Japan not find it after receiving the news?
This actually caused the prices of antiques, which had been falling all the way, to suddenly soar.

So much so that global trade "managers" began to tell their clients that the tax prices on antiques would be raised.

But the more restrictions there are, the higher the price will go!

In just three months, the price of antiques has doubled, but even so, antiques on the market will be sold out.

Even the big boss of the Military Control Commission, Dai Chunfeng, quietly sold off a bunch of antiques to cash in upon seeing this.

……

Chongqing at the end of May.

Military Command Headquarters.

Minglou reported to Zhang Anping and Dai Chunfeng:

"The first batch of 'immigrant ships' has been confirmed to depart in early June, with a total of more than 6,000 people."

"The wealth involved...is probably around one million taels of gold."

The reason why it is an imaginary number is that most of the items here are antiques, and the prices of antiques have skyrocketed recently, so it is really difficult to determine the price.

But even so, it's scary enough.

You have to know that the first batch of immigrants are often just testing the waters - in the list kept by the Military Control Commission, there is not a single traitor or Japanese who has actually plundered and looted for an astonishing amount of money!

Even so, the fact that more than 6,000 people took away a total of more than one million taels of gold is astonishing enough.

Dai Chunfeng gasped, "Fuck, all of this is mine!"
I wear someone's all!

Damn, if I had known Anping had this trick, I would have made myself a clean person! Not a cent more - damn, if I don't open a business for ten years, I will make a living for ten generations after I open it!
Zhang Anping remained calm.

Is this amount a lot?

Before the Kuomintang was defeated in Taiwan, the government-led gold transfer involved 400 million taels of gold and million taels of silver.

The amount of gold transferred away by the common people is even more difficult to calculate. The Kong and Song families alone transferred nearly one million taels of gold!
No one knows how much the warlords transferred away, but Yan Laoxi had a sum of 100,000 taels of gold that was intercepted by our People's Liberation Army!
By the way, the capital outflow from Shanghai alone amounted to nearly one million taels of gold!
“It’s a small head.”

Zhang Anping said calmly: "These Japanese devils and traitors are just testing the waters this time. One million taels, ha, is just a drop in the bucket!"

Dai Chunfeng looked at Zhang Anping: "Then?"

"Let's send the first batch to the Hawaiian Islands."

Zhang Anping said, "Director, please communicate with the Americans. This matter must be kept secret. I guess the Americans will ask for too much. We should not care about the immediate gains and losses. If they want it, we will give it to them! We must set an example for the fat sheep!"

Under normal circumstances, who would dare to say that he would not take a penny of the million taels of gold? Dai Chunfeng would let him know what it means to respect gold.

But now Dai Chunfeng is very calm. A million gold?
If Americans want to divide, then divide!
He said calmly, "I understand."

Zhang Anping thought that this might be a good deal for the emperor...

Speaking of "Commissioner Smith", the Americans' methods are still very immature and they need more training.

"Also, Director, I plan to have Gu Shenyan evacuate Shanghai."

Dai Chunfeng was stunned:
"Let him evacuate Shanghai?"

Gu Shenyan is the director of the Shanghai Security Bureau. Isn’t it too early to ask him to evacuate now?

“Let him immigrate!”

There was a strange light flashing in Zhang Anping's eyes.

Dai Chunfeng and Minglou suddenly realized:

"example?!"

"Correct!"

"Let Gu Shenyan be the first batch of immigrants, and then arrange for him to be in the newspaper. For example, let's say a mysterious rich man from the East spent a lot of money to buy land in Hawaii, and then give him a profile picture."

These words made Dai Chunfeng burst into laughter.

The first batch of immigrants came from traitors and Japanese devils who were testing the waters.

And if Gu Shenyan appeared in this way, they would definitely no longer have any concerns about immigration!
By then, batch after batch of fat sheep will enter the "sheep pen"!

"Okay! Let Gu Shenyan set a good example!"

Dai Chunfeng made the decision without hesitation.

……

Zhang Anping secretly met with the two heads of global trade to discuss the cover-up in Hawaii - this time they were targeting millions or even tens of millions of taels of gold, and the US government must not be allowed to get involved in this matter.

Otherwise, if the fake becomes true, Zhang Anping will have no place to cry.

But global trade alone is clearly not enough.

Therefore, the future emperor of Japan has to take action. With Douglas taking action, deploying less than 10,000 "immigrants" in Hawaii will naturally not be a big problem.

As for the future immigrants, haha, Taiwan’s wasteland is waiting for them!
(During the Anti-Japanese War, Japan looted about 800 tons of gold from China. Note that this was only a state act, not including the gold looted by Japanese officers and businessmen. Well, when this gold was discovered, less than 200 tons were left. 150 tons were returned by the Allies, and the rest "disappeared.") (End of this chapter)
