Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 105 The First Domino

Using economic means to launch an attack is a very new topic for Wang Yongjiang. In his consciousness, there are no such things.But Fred is quite clear that the entire western world revolves around capital. In many cases, although economic attacks are not as violent as real swords and guns, they often cause more harm.

"Zhang, this method is feasible in theory, but you still have too little funds. You have to know that the Japanese have made a lot of war money in the past two years. With a large amount of funds in their hands, they acted rashly. , will only consume the few resources we have.”

"Old friend, of course I didn't plan to do it directly. It's different from courting death. I want to detonate the bond crisis in Russia first, and Zhengjin Bank will inevitably be affected. And Zhengjin Bank has a special status in Japan. As long as there is trouble If the American consortium seizes the opportunity to attack, it will definitely shake Japan's economy!"

Originally, Zhang Tinglan lured the Japanese to buy a lot of bank bonds, in order to turn these bonds into a pile of blank paper after the collapse of Russia, and then hit the Japanese economy, but now that things are out of control, we must first use this Card.

Although the effect will be worse, but she can't take care of it. Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and said: "There are huge contradictions in Japanese society. Although they made war money, most of the money went to the chaebols and the government. To develop industry and build a navy. The lives of the people at the bottom have not improved at all, on the contrary, the squeeze on the labor force has become more severe, and prices have risen severely.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan stretched out two fingers, made a shape of scissors, and said with a smile: "In order to flow more funds to industry, Japan uses the scissors difference between industry and agriculture to accumulate funds and lower the price of agricultural products. Raise the price of industrial products." Price. After the European War, the demand for grain export increased. The Japanese government purchased grain from farmers at ultra-low prices, used it for export in exchange for capital for industrial development, and at the same time pushed up the price of grain in the market. Since the Meiji Restoration, peasant riots in Japan have continued, and labor movements have also emerged frequently recently, all of which are signs of intensified social conflicts.”

When Zhang Tinglan first proposed to mess up the Japanese economy.Fred only thought that he was talking nonsense, but after Zhang Tinglan's analysis, Fred suddenly discovered that the seemingly booming Japanese economy did have serious hidden dangers.

If the world is regarded as the animal kingdom of the jungle.Then the Jewish consortium that controls huge financial capital is the top hunter, standing at the top of the food chain.They will look for the fattest.It is also the easiest target to attack.This is the nature of capital.

According to Zhang Tinglan's analysis, it is not impossible to lure the American consortium to attack Japan, so Fred listened to Zhang Tinglan's every word with great concentration.

"There are many contradictions in Japanese society. As long as we attack Zhengjin Bank, it will affect Japan's exchange rate. You must know that Zhengjin Bank is the only foreign exchange professional bank in Japan. The exchange rate is unstable, the yen depreciates, and the prices of food and other products will inevitably rise. Detonate the fuse of social conflicts in Japan. At that time, the people will continue to march, and even an uprising will break out. The Japanese government will be in trouble and cannot take care of itself. Will they still have the mind to attack the Northeast?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan revealed all her plans. Fred squinted his eyes, carefully deduced it in his head, and clapped his hands with a smile: "Zhang, I have said long ago that you are a genius in economics. This method The feasibility is very high. Moreover, Japan’s money bags have bulged up in the past two years, so it’s time to make a move, and the American consortium will most likely agree to it!”

Zhang Tinglan knew his own weight, and all he could do was act as a pawn. In this world, only the United States had the energy to suppress Japan, so pulling the Americans into the chariot was the key to success.

In fact, the United States has long seen the ambitions of the Japanese, and is also very dissatisfied with Japan's monopoly in the Northeast. Therefore, no matter from political or economic considerations, the possibility of the Americans taking action is still very high.

"Zhuoyan, this plan sounds good, but you must remember that you must be careful and don't go too far. If the Japanese domestic conflicts are out of control, they may be more determined to use troops against the three eastern provinces!" Wang Yongjiang said at the key It is always reminded that this possibility does exist.

The September [-]th Incident in history, apart from a bunch of low-level military officers messing around, the bigger reason was that the Japanese government was helpless against the Great Depression and had to shift the conflict through war.The Japanese now have a strong demand for World War I, so there is no room for maneuver, but they must also guard against them jumping over the wall in a hurry.

"Mr. Tie Kan's reminder is right, I will accept it as soon as I see it!"

"Well, in the final analysis, the foundation is still too weak. After this turmoil, Duan Zhigui may not dare to sit on the throne of Fengtian Governor. After Zhang Yuting takes office, he will focus on construction and consolidate the foundation. Don't take risks easily. , it might bring about a catastrophe.”

What Wang Yongjiang said was not bad at all, Duan Zhigui was indeed sitting on pins and needles these days, having trouble sleeping and eating.After the carjacking broke out, the Japanese Consul General Shita found Duan Zhigui almost every day, blatantly accused him, and asked Duan Zhigui to arrest the murderer as soon as possible and give Japan an explanation.

If it can't be done, the Japanese army will catch the murderer by itself, and any consequences will be borne by the Chinese side.Facing the menacing Japanese, His Highness Gan could only swallow his anger, keep a low voice, and kept apologizing.

The dignified general of Zhen'an, in front of the Japanese, is like a little daughter-in-law, without the slightest bit of majesty.Losing face is still a trivial matter, the bigger trouble is that the Japanese are constantly conducting maneuvers, and a war may break out at any time. Thinking of this, Duan Zhigui felt a chill in his neck.

While Duan Zhigui was thinking wildly, Shitian and Nomura came over again, seeing these two, Duan Zhigui immediately became dizzy.

"Mr. Consul General, I have already dispatched Zhang Zuolin and Wu Junsheng to track down the murderer, and the results will come soon. Don't worry!"

"General Duan, I won't talk about the case today. We still have a lot to talk about. I brought Mr. Nomura here this time to discuss the issue of the official bank with you. Stable, there was a problem of counterfeit money some time ago, which is disappointing, I suggest that the official bank account be handed over to Zhengjin Bank for management!"

"Mr. Shitian, this is not good. The official bank account has been handed over to the industrial group, and the currency has a lot to do with it, so it's not easy to decide!"

"General Duan, if you help us with the issue of the official bank account, we will be friends!" Nomura said: "The Empire of Japan has always been very friendly to its friends and cruel to its enemies. As long as you become a friend of Great Japan , even if there are any accidents in the future, we can guarantee your safety, otherwise, the empire will not be responsible for any accidents!"

When Nomura spoke, he always wore a sinister smile. Duan Zhigui's hairs stood on end when he heard it. Does this mean a war is about to start?

"Of course I would like to be a friend of the Japanese, but the issue of the official bank account is a bit troublesome..."

"It's not troublesome at all. As long as it is handed over to Zhengjin Bank, General Duan will definitely get enough compensation. In addition, Japan plans to set up an import and export company. In the future, all Fengtian products will be handed over to the empire. We will help you negotiate with Westerners. Lest you be bullied by the damn white people!"

Like a judge who pronounced a sentence, Shi Tian directly stated Japan's conditions, not caring whether Duan Zhigui would refuse.Duan Zhigui was indeed dumbfounded at this time. He knew the Japanese wolf ambitions, but he didn't have the courage to refuse. He could only watch the two Japanese leave triumphantly.

"Mr. Shitian, if the people in China are as easy to deal with as Duan Zhigui, why would we be in such trouble, I'm afraid the whole China is ours!"

"Don't worry, China will belong to the empire sooner or later. This time, if you get the official bank and monopolize the export of Fengtian commodities, this place will become a new colony of the empire. No matter how much wealth you have, it will become the empire. People from China It is only worthy of being a coolie."

Nomura Taro was also very happy, he swept away the depression caused by the counterfeit money a few days ago, and he seemed to be pointing the country.

"Duan Zhigui has already agreed. The next step is to force the industrial group to give up the official bank account. Fengtian's monetary power is in our hands. What is the death of two hundred people? Even if two thousand people can get the three eastern provinces into our hands, It's worth it too. Those guys have absolutely no idea how valuable their lives are!"

When Nomura returned to Zhengjin Bank, he mobilized funds while contacting Fengtian's Japanese garrison and ronin.The last time he competed with the industrial group, Nomura suffered a big loss and lost several million.This time Nomura has also learned to be smart. The industrial group has Zhang Zuolin's support and Fengtian businessmen as their backing.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. If you want to deal with industrial groups, it is difficult to be effective only by economic means.It happened to take advantage of this incident to mobilize armed forces and directly rob them.The Chinese would never dare to confront Japan directly at this juncture, as that would only lead to a war between China and Japan.

Nomura, who thought he had grasped the weakness of the industrial group, made preparations frantically and summoned more than 300 ronin.It just so happened that Zhang Zuolin was not in Fengtian at this time, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Nomura has been preparing for five days in a row. He has even drawn up the new management of the official bank and listed a lot of strategic materials that Fengtian can export, each of which is a feast full of oil and water.

Nomura was about to have a full meal, when suddenly a shocking news came from Russia, Tsar Nicholas II's uncle, Grand Duke Nicholas, was suspected of illegal commodity smuggling, gold theft, and arms theft, etc. House arrest was ordered, and the Slavic Bank controlled by the Grand Duke was also seized. It is said that a large number of illegal accounts were found.

The Slavic Bank collapsed in an instant, and the bank notes and bonds issued were turned into a pile of waste paper.After Nomura got the news, his body froze like a thunderbolt, and he remained motionless. (To be continued..)
