The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Few people could have predicted that a seemingly ordinary business dispute would eventually lead to drastic changes in the entire world structure, and even a world war involving more than a billion people!

Even the British guy who planned to split up the WorldCom Group in the first place probably didn’t expect that they just planned to cut off Zhu Bin’s financial resources, and let him watch the uncontrollable forces that are about to run rampant in Asia and rise to the east of the world. However, it unexpectedly caused Zhu Bin's counterattack that could be called explosive, so that they were injured.Not only did it not bring them much benefit, but they were also robbed by the Germans, which made the resistance of the British and French allied forces even worse!

The unexpected battle of the "Yingzhou" in the sea trial cast an uncontrollable disturbance boulder for the entire expansion effect, and the monstrous waves spread layer by layer to the whole world, and finally got out of control!

Such changes, even with the quantum-level computing power of Serena and the spaceship's brain, I'm afraid they can't reason them out, because there are so many variable factors that it is impossible to verify.Even if you look at it from the perspective of later generations, if you don’t have sufficient data to support it, you can’t fully see what’s going on.

In any case, the final entry of the United States as the world's largest economy is tantamount to putting the war chariot all over the world on the last gear. When the Germans implemented the "White Lightning" plan ahead of schedule and in February 1940 The capture of Denmark and Norway was completed on the 2th, and the Netherlands was successfully parachuted by the air force at the same time. After the complete control at the end of February, the "Manstein Plan" was implemented immediately to complete the raids on Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland, Further attacks by Western European countries such as France.

The biggest highlight is the official all-out war against France starting on March 3, bypassing the "Maginot Line of Defense"!

At this point, the world war is irreversible!The European countries that were involved were miserable, but there were a few people in the world who were greatly relieved, and one was Stalin of Soviet Russia.One is China's Chang Kaishen --- Jiang Guangtou, and there is also a Yankee hiding in the dark and eager to figure out how to make the most profit.

As for Japan in the Asian theater, although they did not form a new alliance with Germany to start further wars like in another time and space, their role has also been replaced by the Chinese radical forces headed by the Zhu Bin Group, and it is really not easy right now !

In January, the million-strong army of China's first war zone, which has been slowly pushing and infiltrating the four northeastern provinces for a long time, finally completed its final training.From a total of 1 million main battle and reserve troops, 160 people were selected after blood and fire, and ten elite mechanized mountain divisions were formed. The whole of Rehe, Heilongjiang and half of Liaoning, not only nearly 30 Japanese puppet troops were trapped in the narrow area of ​​Jilin and central and southern Liaoning, but the forward line was directly advanced to Yixian, Jinzhou, Liaoyuan, Taonan, Qiqihar and other places. Prepare to launch an attack on Harbin, Changchun, Jinzhou and Fengtian.

The three lines of defense deployed by the Japanese army on the periphery with all their strength were completely destroyed.Among them, the 20 recruited from Taiwan, the 20 security forces, and the 30 Korean Corps were all killed, and the real Japanese casualties exceeded nearly 30!

The entire Rehe and Daxing'an Mountains' lofty mountains have turned into a flesh and blood mill for thousands of miles!The troops in China's first theater, which spared no expense in ammunition, had no mercy for those people at all. Every battle was bombarded with bombs, heavy artillery, and rockets, followed by heavy machine gun fire, and finally infantry squads searched and cleaned up. Kill all those wearing Japanese military uniforms, not prisoners!

At this point, the first batch of cannon fodder prepared by the Japanese army was basically cleaned up.However, the brutality of the Japanese is still beyond the imagination of ordinary people.They immediately recruited another 30 servants from North Korea, and another 20 servants from the Manchurians and the Chinese who could not escape, and pushed them onto the battlefield.It's just that before it could be stuffed into the front line, it was beaten by ten mountain divisions and abandoned its position, and finally became a supplement to the core lifeline of defense.

Adding them, the total number of troops deployed by the Japanese army in less than two provinces and northern Korea reached 120 million!

Together with the Chinese attack force, the total is nearly 300 million troops.Just squeezed into such a small area, the density is unprecedented, even if it is not as good as the French front line in the last world war, it is almost the same!

The Japanese army was also helpless, and their homeland was under the persecution of the land and sinking crisis.Most of the emerging industries are built in North Korea and Liaoning, and because of Zhu Bin’s bombing and destruction, industrial and agricultural production is extremely dependent on this place, especially the Kwantung Army, which is the fundamental wealth of their generations of hard work, and they cannot hold it. , they have no basis for existence!

Not to mention, the intensification of immigration over the years has resulted in a total of 500 million Japanese in the three northeastern provinces, plus more than 500 million immigrants from North Korea. There are hundreds of thousands of local civilians supporting the frontline operations of more than 200 million. Including the Chinese, the number of logistics and transportation personnel has reached 500 million. It can be described as fully mobilized!

Ningji Okamura finally understood China's strategy when he came here, especially the several railways connecting from Shanxi to Chaoyang, Liaoyuan, and Qiqihar. The three fronts are all unimpeded, and there is no logistics at all. As for the pressure problem, he originally thought that the protracted battle for mountains and the war of attrition did not drag down China, but instead exhausted all their strength!

By the beginning of February, the base camp had determined that the United States would participate in the war, and the target was China, and Japan would become an unbreakable ally to participate. The most scarce resources and funding problems were greatly alleviated, and the good men of the Yamato nation finally did not have to adopt the rationing system every day After eating two meals of rice porridge and steamed buns to fool their stomachs, the industrial production capacity has finally been guaranteed by tightening their belts. Everything seems to be developing in a good direction. They only need to survive for a few more months, and the situation will be greatly improved!

Well, in theory it does!

Although the Americans have not been sure who their enemy is, all signs show that the military group headed by Zhu Bin cannot be wrong. It seems that Amaterasu still has not abandoned the Great Japanese Empire, and hope is tomorrow!

The situation in China is also undergoing drastic changes.

By the end of January, the first Marine Division of the Navy had come to an end to clean up the Ryukyu Islands, and the remnants of the Japanese army hiding in the deep mountains and old forests were basically wiped out.Relevant military and civilian facilities were also restored, and the naval forces belonging to the ocean-going fleet began to station as the first major sea base, facing the sea to defend Japan.

Taiwan's clean-up work is not progressing too fast. After all, a province is too large, and only 30 million central troops and local militias have joined forces.It is not so easy to clean up the stubborn Japanese army.But there is good news. The joy and encouragement of the 600 million local people for the arrival of Master Wang is worthy of recognition. Some enthusiastic compatriots even took the initiative to help uncover the traitors and traitors lurking among the people.

For example, Masao Yanli --- oh no, it should be called Li Denghui, so he resolutely and fearlessly arrested his teacher and the instructor who opened the back door for him at the first time, and pushed him out after the Central Army landed. He voted for a certificate, and by the way helped his monkey-like father clear his name, and transformed himself into a member of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Taipei Police Department.

Just so hard.After all, he couldn't save the life of his elder brother Li Dengxin.As a brave young soldier, he had already died gloriously in the earliest battle to defend Taipei. It is said that the memorial tablet has been erected in the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo.Well, this can be regarded as extremely sad and honorable!

On the mainland, the southeast bandit suppression campaign presided over by Chen Cheng won a decisive victory. Between the mountains and rivers of Fujian and Zhejiang, there is no longer a group of Japanese troops, and a few hide in the mountains as savages.Being hunted down by the more stalwart local Hakkas and hunters, the overall situation is basically stable.The local residents expressed that they were emotionally stable and lived peacefully without much harassment.As for the incidents where the passing officials swept away all the food and soft goods they had kept for the festival, there was no need to bother the government too much, it was right to support the party-state's great cause of suppressing bandits.

Qiu never committed such a thing, it must have happened.There must be no such thing as the Central Army's abuse of civilians.Those bad elements who tried to sue the chairman of the committee must also be cleaned up. The casualties of tens of thousands of people in eastern Zhejiang and northern Fujian were all caused by the Japanese devils.Otherwise.Maybe hiding in the mountains or sailing out to sea....

In short, the form is very good, not small.

Lao Jiang, who felt that most of the world was under his control, was delighted to hear that the Americans were open to giving money to guys. He was happy for a while, and verbally promised the Americans to "consider carefully", and he did not forget to call his confidants to discuss and discuss.He didn't get hotheaded for a while, and he didn't know why he spent half his life in political struggle. This money is not easy to get!

On February 2, Lao Jiang's confidantes and old friends gathered together to discuss various matters. The first topic was the question of whether or not to want the 12 billion U.S. dollars.Kong Xiangxi said without hesitation: "It must! This is the first step in representing our friendly cooperation with the United States. We have no reason to reject the kindness of our American friends!"

10 billion, dollars!Equivalent to a thousand tons of gold!Almost the entire net worth of the four major families!

After Zhu Bin took away almost all of China's industrial, commercial and financial control rights, the billions of assets that the four major families obtained through various means have shrunk sharply.Because after the WorldCom Group broke up, it was simply blocked in the local area, and the business of making money as a comprador abroad was basically ruined. The means of embezzling public and private property by issuing excessive legal currency and cash and silver were also useless, and shipping and import and export were also basically impossible. At a standstill, unable to intervene in the domestic arms trade, seeing tens of billions of water but not being able to put it in his pocket, he is scratching his heart anxiously!

Now, with 10 billion US dollars falling from the sky, as long as Lao Jiang receives it, [-]% of it will be put into his own pocket immediately, and he must not spit it out.

Although Song Ziwen is not used to the greed of this group of people, he can't control it, but he is worried about their single-minded pursuit of enriching their own pockets but delaying major events, so he reminds him forcefully: "Americans' money is not so easy to get! How to answer their conditions? Is Zhu Hanchen so easy to deal with?"

The Americans demanded to hold Zhu Bin back, but there is no specific rule on how to hold back Zhu Bin. To what extent?Just let him get bogged down in domestic affairs.

easy to say, hard to do!Zhu Bin unified the first war zone, and the number of troops he controlled and influenced was no less than that of the Central Army.The territory looks small, but it can be expected to actually affect more than [-] million people --- almost all of the high-quality population among the [-] million people, and more than [-]% of the industrial, commercial and financial industries, manufacturing industries, and most of the arms Made, and all navy!

In terms of strength, the Central Army headed by Chiang Kai-shek really can't compete.Moreover, the sea and territory are under its control. Countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and France have nothing to do if it is said to be blocked.

crucial moment.He Yingqin came out to show his loyalty: "In my opinion, it is actually not difficult to deal with the Americans. Now that the war against Japan is basically completed, as long as we try to get Japan to propose an armistice and peace talks, we can lift the military general mobilization order across the country, and then the newly added troops It can be dismissed and returned to the land, and the local government affairs should also be returned to the central government. This is related to the overall situation of the country, and even if Zhu Hanchen insists on going his own way and insists on launching a war, it will not be popular among the people!"

These words make most people's eyes shine!

yes!China and Japan have fought hard for a long time, and now the lost land has been recovered, and there is still a Ryukyu, Manchukuo, etc., which are legal regimes supported by all the big powers, and if they continue to fight, they will have no name.There is no lingering hatred between China and Japan.It's almost enough, now is a good time to concentrate the strength of the whole nation to rise up, development is the first!Excessive militarism is not a long-term solution!

Lao Jiang didn't say much, but nodded with a calm face: "It is related to the national plan, the local government must obey the central government, and personal selfish desires must be put away first. The overall situation is the most important thing! I think. You can send someone to talk to Zhu Hanchen. Talk about it!"

In his heart, Lao Jiang felt that this plan was very clever!There is national justice at hand.Don't worry about him, Zhu Bin doesn't give in!Even if he refuses to accept it, I believe that the big bosses in the north and the south are not willing to waste money on meaningless wars. When the time comes, the troops will be drawn, and his own tens of 10 people will not be able to play the big battlefield at all!And on his own side, he made a gesture of rectifying the military and politics, which was enough to make him have no time to look around.Doesn't this count as holding him back?

Hey, one billion US dollars is easy to get!

Of course, who should we send to discuss this matter?A group of people looked at each other at first, but finally they all focused their eyes on Song Ziwen's face.

Song Ziwen cursed in his heart: "A bunch of bastards! It's good to scramble to put it in your pocket. If you are in trouble, you can push it on me, and you are a fucking relative. Pooh!"

Lao Jiang looked at his brother-in-law with a smile, and said earnestly, "Ziwen! This matter is related to the great cause of the entire family and the country. You have excellent communication with Zhu Hanchen. This matter will take a lot of work. Let him handle it!"

He put "home" first, and he said it very clearly, Song Ziwen understood what it meant without even thinking about it.In a blink of an eye, I saw the whole room, brother-in-law, uncle, nephew, niece, and nephew, all of them looked at him eagerly, as if hundreds of millions of people were saved by his penetrating tongue. Can't push it away!

This is Lao Jiang's cleverness.If it's just about official business, it's easy for Song Ziwen to quit, but he has to be soft-hearted when he connects family matters.Even if it's going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, he has to admit it.

Seeing that his little plan was adopted by the boss, He Yingqin couldn't help but feel happy, his heart felt numb, and he said while the iron was hot: "Chairman! It seems that the fifty American division equipment is not easy to get! Besides, our main force is now The weapons used are much more advanced than those provided by the Americans, and it is useless to ask for them! I think it seems that they can ask them to make another condition!"

Fifty divisions!It's not the old Central Army's tattered equipment that doesn't even have small artillery. It's based on the standards of the US Army. Each division has a certain number of tanks, large-caliber heavy artillery, and all light and heavy machine guns. Big money!

The fly in the ointment is that the weapons provided by the Yankees are all the varieties they fought in World War I, such as the Springfield single-shot rifle, the deadly Browning light machine gun, the water-cooled heavy machine gun, and the 155 cannon that can't be dragged, etc. .It looks very luxurious, but in fact it's all based on a reasonable warehouse!

If it were the Central Army a few years ago, they would have to cry and cry if they had this condition.Now, their main forces are all equipped with self-produced semi-automatic and automatic new weapons. The American army weapons are overwhelmingly poor. Who likes to eat cornbread when they eat white rice!

Kong Xiangxi was afraid that others would take the lead, so he quickly interjected: "We don't need those outdated equipment. Besides, Zhu Hanchen controls the sea area, so it may be inconvenient to transport it in. In addition, the caliber of weapons is completely different, and it is difficult to supply them. It is better to let them discount them directly. alright!"

Nothing can compare to money!This is a free item. As a comprador, his family can't ask for a kickback, and it will delay his own business if he gets it in. Of course, it's not as good as cash.As long as it's cash, you can use whatever name you want, and you can buy some garbage and put it in your own pocket, how great it is!

As soon as this remark came out, most people expressed their enthusiasm. How many billions of dollars is that!Fenfen, who doesn't have a fat brain full of food!

Lao Jiang frowned slightly, didn't say much, looked aside, the eldest son Jingguo who was standing beside him coughed lightly, and said in a gentle way: "Sooner or later there will be troubles between the Central Committee and the Zhu Group, we must have our own Sufficiently armed, now that production is controlled by others due to war, it is extremely detrimental to us."

My son is still my own!Those who have stayed abroad are different!

Lao Jiang, who is full of family and world, is more gratified, he has someone to succeed him!Looking at Yasukuni with encouraging eyes, he nodded again and again: "That's right! Then, how do you think we should deal with it?"

Jiang Jingguo was also tortured by Comrade Stalin in Soviet Russia. He suffered a lot. After returning to China, he was quite disgusted with the behavior of the central army, especially the actions of Kong Xiangxi and his cousins, which harmed the interests of the country. , Such a thing as poaching the corner of one's own house is abhorrent!

Encouraged by Lao Tzu, he immediately became more courageous, and his voice raised unconsciously: "I suggest that we can secretly provide the production drawings of the equipment currently used by our army to the Americans, and let them help build production lines and stockpile them. It can be transported in through the U.S. Navy, and even the production line can be directly dismantled and transferred to our country, which can ensure that the supply of armaments is safe!"

"Okay! Well said!" Lao Jiang applauded Longyan joyfully, and the excited Xiao Jiang's classmate Jun blushed.

Song Ziwen also rarely expressed his approval, this is the long-term solution!It's better than changing it into money and ruining it for those bastards!

The most troublesome matter was solved in this way, Lao Jiang was in a good mood, and immediately asked Song Ziwen to set off to talk to Zhu Bin about conditions. (To be continued..)
