For the Western world, if you think it is valuable, then no matter what you do, you will not be criticized. Once you are regarded as a threat, no matter whether it is present or not, it will become a crime.
Take the Iraqi hero, for example. He once attacked a US warship and killed thirty-seven US troops, but he only paid hasty compensation. But more than ten years later, the Americans used the so-called mass destruction
The war was launched because of the trumped-up accusation of weapons.
As the former mentors of the United States, the British are also piss-poor. Now that the fierce war between China and Japan is raging, they suddenly jumped out to protest with great fanfare. Maybe they really have some ulterior motives behind it!
Zhang Tinglan also thought of this possibility, and suddenly frowned: "Lin Ge, do you think the British will help Japan and hold us back?"
Yang Yuting frowned and couldn't help but said: "Commander, I think it is possible. With successive victories, the morale of the people across the country has been greatly boosted. I heard that some people in the academic and business circles have come forward and proposed to abolish the Boxer Indemnity.
Abolish the concessions and take back customs and consular jurisdiction. These are things that the great powers will not easily let go of, and they will inevitably resort to some tricks."
Fengjun's victory greatly shocked China. The state of the people across the country was undergoing drastic changes. The national awakening was faster than imagined. All places stopped selling supplies to Japan, and the concessions were naturally affected. Businessmen
No supplies were provided to the concession, workers did not clean the concession, and Chinese employees resigned in large numbers.
Although these actions were aimed at the Japanese concession, other great powers were inevitably affected. Seeing the prosperous concession turned into dead cities, ghost towns, and stinking to the sky, the foreign adults all frowned, and they couldn't help it.
As for sweeping the streets yourself.
What frightens them even more is the awakening of national consciousness. Unlike Japan, China is a natural big country. Japan stepped onto the world stage through the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and the Russo-Japanese War, and squeezed into the ranks of great powers. However, Japan’s
The scale is too small and not enough to change the situation in which the West dominates the world.
But once China rises completely, the structure of the Far East will inevitably change, and even the entire colonial system will collapse. After all, in this world, if a beggar gang conference is to be held, China is the natural gang leader!
Previously, Japan was extremely strong, and China could only ask for and get what it wanted. At this time, the United States, Britain, and others would try to help Fengjun to restrain Japan. But once Fengjun's strength went beyond their control, they would turn around and support Japan.
This set of balancing tricks was played very skillfully by the UK against Germany and France on the European continent, and now it has been transferred to China and Japan.
Zhang Tinglan's mind turned around a few times and he saw the key to it. He sneered: "If the British want to play balance, they must first look at their own weight. How much power can they have in the Far East? Tell me how much power they have in the Far East."
Gu Weijun, ignore the British protests and let them scream."
"Commander, don't be busy yet." Jiang Baili couldn't help but said something to stop him: "Even if the British can't directly send troops, they can still provide the Japanese with loans, oil, etc. to fund the Japanese to fight a war with us. Back then, the Japanese
The situation of the Russian war will repeat itself, and our foundation is still too weak. A long-term war is not good for us, and it is not appropriate to offend the British for the time being."
At this time Rong Zhen also said: "Commander, when we formulated the strategic goal, we only drove the Japanese forces out of the three northeastern provinces. We did not have any territorial claims on the Korean Peninsula. The current situation is very favorable to us, but
I don’t think it’s time to modify our strategic goals, so we might as well take this opportunity to let the British mediate and achieve peace talks between us and Japan.”
After Rong Zhen expressed his opinion, Yang Yuting and Jiang Baili also nodded one after another, agreeing with his point of view. Zhang Tinglan also weighed it again and again. The more favorable the situation, the more calm he must be.
"Well, it is possible to contact the United Kingdom, and it is not impossible to negotiate with Japan, but I am afraid that the Japanese are not willing to come to the negotiation table."
"Then fight until they are willing." Jiang Baili also said with a smile: "Commander, now the three armies have joined forces in Pyongyang, so I propose to merge into the Korean Front Army, concentrate our strength, and eliminate one or two divisions. This way
It won’t work if the Japanese don’t come to talk.”
Zhang Tinglan also nodded in agreement, but he thought of another question: "Now that we have plans to negotiate, let's not be polite. All valuable things in North Korea will be recovered for me, even if they have to be handed over to the Japanese in the future.
, so that they can’t get a screw.”
As mentioned before, northern Korea is rich in resources. Japan has invested a lot of money and established a large number of mines. It also has supporting metallurgy, power generation, steel and other factories. These factories and mines are small in scale and have low technology.
It is not advanced and many of the equipment are obsolete in Japan.
But for the hungry Fengjun, it is still an amazing wealth. Even if the three northeastern provinces cannot use it, Inner and Inner Mongolia, as well as the northwest, are in urgent need of a large number of machinery and equipment for development. It is conservatively estimated that the various factory equipment in northern North Korea combined
, there are more than 5.6 billion yuan. Excluding those that cannot be moved, we can get at least 3.4 billion yuan of equipment, which is enough to establish corresponding industrial bases in one or two provinces.
Moreover, there is something in northern North Korea that firmly attracts Zhang Tinglan's attention, and that is uranium mines!
As a time traveler, no one will be unaware of the issue of the atomic bomb. As long as it develops this killer weapon first, China will be invincible. It can be said that this is a country’s last trump card. In fact, it can be used around World War II.
It is enough to develop nuclear weapons, but the Fengjun army has a weak foundation and cannot carry out the Manhattan Project regardless of cost like the Americans. Therefore, the stupid bird must fly first and make various preparations in advance.
Zhang Tinglan has also been deliberately planning for a long time. When sending overseas students to Germany and the United States, there was a group of students who specialized in nuclear physics. With professional talents, the most important thing is to have enough raw materials.
Although China has some uranium ores, the content is less than a few parts per ten thousand, the mining value is extremely low, and most of them are metal associated ores. Even in later generations, the estimated total amount is only about 100,000 tons. However, the Korean Peninsula has a quantity
Astonishing uranium ore, take North Korea as an example, the total reserves are expected to reach 26 million tons, and more than 4 million tons are available for mining.
This is just North Korea. South Korea also has a large amount of uranium ore. Some people claim that it can reach 100 million tons. However, due to international environmental restrictions, they cannot mine and utilize it.
Sometimes, it is true that people compete with each other, which makes people angry. The Chinese ancestors occupied a place with the best natural conditions and allowed the Chinese civilization to continue in the agricultural era. However, in the industrial era, many resources on our land are extremely scarce.
, and this scarcity is very fatal.
Now that the army has entered North Korea, Zhang Tinglan will not miss this opportunity. He seizes the time to obtain a batch of uranium ore from North Korea and stores it for early research and even building atomic bombs. When the strength is sufficient in the future, North Korea will be
The peninsula can be swallowed up to make up for China’s resource gap.
After Zhang Tinglan's order was issued, of course Feng Jun resolutely carried it out. These people were all veterans of doing this kind of thing. They had carried out a large-scale looting in the Far East. This time, you are welcome. From the controlled area, industrial
Starting from Pyongyang, which is the highest level, all factories were demolished and all machinery and equipment were shipped back by railway.
Although these railways are relatively busy, they are also one-way, mainly transporting supplies to North Korea. On the return journey, the trains are basically empty, and the most loaded are the wounded. Transport machines are naturally not a problem, and every train is fully loaded.
Yes, as long as it is of some use, not even a wrench or a screw will be spared, and everything will be swept away.
And it’s not just the machines, the workers are also controlled by Fengjun. The workers are divided into two types, most of them are local North Koreans. Fengjun carefully investigates and will not let the North Koreans go as long as they have professional skills. Not only the workers, but also the workers.
Even their family members were transported back to the three northeastern provinces.
Of course, there are not many technicians among the Koreans, and the most important ones are Japanese technicians. For these Japanese, Fengjun used simple and crude methods.
Everyone was arrested. If there was a family in North Korea, it would be easier. Feng Jun imprisoned his family with him. If he was obedient and willing to cooperate with Feng Jun, the whole family could go to the Northeast together. If not,
He killed his family members one by one in front of them.
Faced with this threat, almost no Japanese can bear it. They can only go to the Northeast obediently. Of course, there are many single Japanese, so there is no other way. Fengjun can only examine them one by one. He only needs to ask three times.
Those who were unwilling to answer were immediately beheaded without any hesitation.
Even if these Japanese technicians could not be used, they could no longer be left to Japan. The bloody heads hanging out were such a deterrent that all these Japanese workers obeyed the arrangements honestly.
As life-and-death enemies, China and Japan use Japanese workers, which is a very risky thing. But why do you think Fengjun has such a big gap now! Any resources that can be used cannot be wasted.
However, Zhang Tinglan also made a special explanation. All these Japanese were sent to the northwest, Outer Mongolia and other places, which are far away from Japan and are the frontier of the confrontation between China and Russia. This also saves these Japanese people from feeling guilty. In addition, Zhang Tinglan also explained that they must be sent as soon as possible.
They drain their abilities and get rid of them completely when they are no longer of use.
This large-scale plunder of the population seemed a bit barbaric. Fengjun only claimed to the outside world that these people were loyal to the Japanese Empire, that they all died by disembowelment, and that they even built decent tombs for them.
This looting operation continued until Feng's army withdrew from the Korean Peninsula. A total of various equipment was snatched at a discount of about 350 million, and 170 million in cash was obtained from various banks and financial institutions.
In addition, there are large quantities of coal and iron ore, including thousands of tons of uranium ore. Fengjun's early nuclear tests and the first two atomic bombs all relied on this batch of ore.
In addition to these things, there are more than 3,000 professional talents. Relying on these, Fengjun built a second industrial center in the northwest!
