The Japanese government, whose total population has just exceeded 70 million, calculates based on the largest proportion of the population, the number of young and middle-aged males is less than 10 million...
Excluding the more than four million soldiers who were directly lost on various battlefields during the war, at this moment, the Japanese government can scoop up just over five million...
In order to completely trample the Japanese government under its feet, coupled with the US government's lion's opening, a total of four million Japanese young adults were put on a transport ship to the United States under pressure from China and the United States...
.
As for the four million laborers heading to the United States, it is no surprise that they will become victims of the development of the American war economy.
Japan has lost more than eight million young and middle-aged people. Looking at the entire country, whether it is women, children or children, there are almost no traces of young and middle-aged men. In addition, various local industrial equipment were confiscated by the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Nothing. Apart from maintaining the normal operation of the entire government, the only thing the remaining million young adults can do is to ensure the food supply of the entire country through their own labor...
Looking at the latest information from the expeditionary forces stationed in various parts of Japan, Liu Hua, who had been on the expedition for three months, finally showed a long-lost smile on his face.
Because he knows that at this time, the Japanese government has truly lost the motivation and foundation for development. In other words, in the next few decades, all Japanese people will struggle for the proportion of domestic population and the large amount of urgently needed food, without any
Focus on developing your own industry….
It is conceivable that a country without industry will never be able to catch up with China at this moment, which has mastered a certain industrial foundation and is constantly moving forward...
Thinking of this, Liu Hua felt like avenging his past shame and seeking revenge.
"Chief of Staff, we have been out for such a long time, it's time to go home..." Zuo Quanhua, the Chief of Staff in front of him, said with a smile.
"Commander-in-Chief, this is what you said. What our expeditionary force came to Japan to do was banditry. Now that we have reaped enough benefits in Japan, of course it is time to return home..." The expedition went out exceptionally smoothly. Let Zuo Quan's
His face was also covered with a thick smile, and he gave a rare and witty reply.
Seeing Liu Hua, who was smiling and silent, Zuo Quan directly began to report the latest telegram he had just received.
"Commander-in-Chief, there are still a few telegrams here that require you to make a decision immediately..."
"The first batch of gold and silver with a total value of more than 3,000 tons of gold that we shipped back to China has been safely transported to Beijing through combined sea and land transportation, and has been received by the Ministry of Finance of the Government Affairs Council..."
"The Prime Minister personally sent a telegram: The various industrial equipment we dismantled from Japan covers almost all industries developed in a country. However, there is only one aspect that is not covered, and that is oil... Therefore, the Prime Minister informed
We can use this time to build a set of integrated equipment for oil exploration, wells, and refining abroad, improving the situation in which our country relies entirely on imports of various oils and developing our own oil wells..."
"Third, except for the first batch of gold and silver worth three thousand tons of gold and the second batch of gold and silver worth one thousand tons of gold that were shipped back to the country. In the following half month, the garrison troops stationed in various places once again collected data from Japanese civilians.
A total of gold and silver worth more than 800 tons of gold was plundered..."
"Fourth, in accordance with the orders of the General Headquarters, various combat troops distributed in Japan are gradually gathering in the surrounding central cities. Once the General Headquarters issues a retreat order, the more than 300,000 troops under the expeditionary force will be deployed in half a century.
Completely withdraw from Japan within a few months..."
After being reminded by the Prime Minister, Hua Cai suddenly remembered: Japan, as an island country lacking resources, can be said to have no oil production. How can it be possible to find oil equipment in such a country...
At the same time, Liu Hua also clearly understood the importance of oil as a strategic resource to a big country after World War II.
With the continuous improvement of the mechanization level of the Chinese ***, the various oils required every day will soon become an astronomical figure. If oil, the lifeblood of the Chinese ***, is completely in the hands of others, it will not be surprising.
It will have a significant impact on the future security of the entire country….
Oil... No matter what, I can no longer let China worry about oil in the future...
Thinking of the local battles that would break out because of oil in later generations, Liu Hua secretly swore.
Looking at the chief of staff waiting for orders in front of him, Liu Hua directly suggested.
"It is impossible for Japan to have petroleum equipment at all. Therefore, in response to the Prime Minister's opinions, we must start from other aspects..."
"Now, we also have wealth worth more than eight million tons of gold in our hands. My idea is to use these gold and silver to exchange for various oil equipment that we are in urgent need of from the U.S. government." In order to avoid a second
After the end of the world war, in case of a series of wars that may occur in the surrounding areas of our country, we will directly purchase a batch of various oil materials that our country urgently needs from the U.S. government and temporarily reserve them until we find our own oil fields..."
A few years ago, the U.S. government announced that it would join the Allied Powers and join the world war. When millions of American youths immediately enlisted in the army to prepare for the war, the U.S. government discovered that for a country with a standing army of only more than 300,000 people, it would be difficult to do so in a short period of time.
It is almost impossible to arm all these millions of troops.
Under the urging of several other Allied countries, in order to join the war as soon as possible, and also to obtain the equipment and ammunition urgently needed by the troops during the battle, the U.S. government led by Ross directly transformed a large number of private enterprises into military-industrial enterprises, specifically to provide American troops on the front line.
* troops, and even served with Allied troops in other countries.
But now, the war is over, and the millions of troops under the U.S. government have become unemployed and have returned home.
There is no war and no army, which means that the equipment and ammunition produced by major military industrial enterprises are nowhere to be used...
Less than a month after the war ceased, more than 30 large and small military factories across the United States ceased production or went bankrupt due to lack of sales for their products...
The degree of mechanization of the U.S. Army is undoubtedly the highest among all the armed forces in the world. Of course, the hidden danger that comes with it is that the total amount of fuel consumed by each mechanized unit every day is far more than before the war.
Many times the capacity of the U.S. government.
Ever since, like an arsenal, oil fields, oil wells, refineries... have sprung up in the United States like mushrooms after a rain...
At the end of the war, mechanized troops were disbanded one after another, and the warships and aircraft carriers that consumed the most fuel were moored in the port most of the time because of the end of the war... As a result, during the war, various fuels that were more expensive than gold were immediately available.
It has become a cheap commodity that no one cares about….
When the profits from various fuel sales could not cover the cost of refining, American capitalists, who had already made enough profits in the war, immediately stopped such insolvent production. As a result, one refinery and one oil field were opened.
and oil wells, immediately turned into dead factories waiting for government rescue...
After President Roosevelt finally solved the problem of the country's heavy labor loss due to the war, the specific treatment plan for these closed military factories and oil refineries was immediately placed on the table in front of him...
"Your Excellency, the war is over. As time goes by, more and more of these military factories will close down... In order to avoid the outbreak of riots in the country, we must deal with these military factories immediately..." The US Secretary of State looked solemn.
opened his mouth and said.
"As you just said, the war is over, and these factories have lost the value of their existence... With so much equipment, I can say with certainty that they have no use other than being used as scrap iron to be re-smelted..." Likewise.
Roosevelt, with a serious look on his face, answered directly.
Just when the two people were frowning, General Marshall, who had been in contact with the Chinese Expeditionary Force, opened the door and walked in. He said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the President, Your Excellency, the Secretary of State, I have brought you a
good news…."
Before Roosevelt could speak, Marshall continued: "Our old friend Liu Hua once again brought us a surprise..."
"A total of eight hundred tons of gold and silver worth all kinds of gold and silver are all used to purchase various equipment and weapons and equipment in our country..."
"Wait, Marshall, what are you talking about... Liu Hua of China plans to use 800 tons of gold to purchase a batch of equipment and weapons and equipment from our country..." Faced with the good news of pie-in-the-sky, the two people's faces showed a smile.
An expectant smile.
"Yes, Mr. President..." Marshall replied affirmatively.
However, a look of embarrassment immediately enveloped Marshall's face and he spoke.
"However, Your Excellency, Mr. President, Liu Hua of China seems to have a very good understanding of the difficulties our government is currently facing. The unit price of various equipment he offered is almost the same as scrap metal... Therefore, I am considering whether to reject his telegram...
"
To Marshall's surprise, Roosevelt, who had always been good at calculating, not only did not object after hearing his answer, but directly replied with a firm face: "No, Marshall, even the price of scrap iron,
I also want to sell these equipment..."
It turns out that at this moment, the U.S. government is not only facing many problems such as equipment surplus and oil surplus, but also various steels produced by domestic steel plants have continued to have surpluses as time goes by...
Liu Hua's transaction undoubtedly solved the current dilemma faced by the Roosevelt House. Of course, what moved Roosevelt most was that Liu Hua was able to scoop up gold and other hard currencies to trade with him...
It must be understood that after several years of war, the U.S. government made a lot of profits from Britain, France and other countries by selling equipment. However, almost all of these profits were in debt. And now, some people are carrying gold directly to their doorsteps to do business. Roosevelt
Of course I am very happy...(To be continued., vote for recommendation, monthly vote,,.
