Because the Emperor of Japan is revered as a god, even his voice is not allowed to be heard by ordinary people. Therefore, when he meets with ministers, he is separated by a curtain, as if seeing the true face of a god is a crime worthy of death.
Konoe Fumimaro was reporting on the situation in North China, saying that he might launch a punitive attack on China when necessary.
The emperor is actually very conflicted in his heart. As the king of a country, he is very interested in interesting things like expanding his territory. However, he is familiar with history and understands that war is not that simple. Although there is a huge gap between China and Japan
, but modern war is not a war between China and Japan. How will Britain and the United States react? Will the Soviet Union take action? These are all things that need to be considered.
Emperor Hirohito said thoughtfully, "Manchuria belongs to the countryside, and what happens there is nothing significant. But if it happens in Tianjin or Peiping, it will intensify British and American interference, and there is a risk of conflict between ourselves and the other."
When Konoe Fumimaro heard this, he understood that Hirohito meant that it was okay to fight, but the intervention of Britain and the United States must be prevented. After Konoe Fumimaro expressed his understanding, he knelt down and left.
Emperor Hirohito looked at the bust of Napoleon brought from Europe in his study - can he become the Napoleon of Asia?
After Konoe Fumimaro returned, he immediately contacted Foreign Minister Hirota Koki for a meeting. After discussion, the two decided to test the British and American reactions.
--United States Washington
Roosevelt looked at Cordell Hull and smiled and said, "The language of this Oriental is indeed troublesome, and he hesitates to speak, but at least he can understand it."
Cordell Hull was the Secretary of State who always accompanied Roosevelt. He accompanied Roosevelt throughout his presidential career until Roosevelt's death. He served as Secretary of State for nearly 20 years and was also the longest-serving Secretary of State in American history.
Cordell Hull shook his head and said, "The current international situation is very strange. Judging from the tone of the Japanese, they are preparing to launch another war in China. Mr. President, how do we respond?"
Roosevelt closed his eyes and said, "If the United States wants to improve its international status, it must go through a baptism. Maybe this is our opportunity. You verbally reply to the Japanese and tell them that the United States has no intention of managing international affairs, as long as it does not affect the United States."
interests, the United States has no objection to anything."
--London, England
The British Prime Minister at this time was the latest Neville Chamberlain. At this time, Europe had already felt the threat of Italian and German fascists. However, the British and French governments headed by Chamberlain believed that fascist forces were a force that could be exploited and only needed to be controlled.
If it is guided, then the disaster will flow to the east, eventually leading to a war between fascism and the Soviet Union, and the British government can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, just like during the German-French war, and the fishermen will benefit.
Therefore, when Chamberlain saw Japan's secret messages, he was not willing to take care of affairs far away in the East. Moreover, China and Germany have been very close recently. If Japan teaches China a lesson, it may help China re-understand the British Empire.
Chamberlain stroked his beard and said, "Our British interests only lie in the Yangtze River region of China. As long as Japan does not interfere with the interests of our British Empire, we will not interfere with their interests."
The camera turned around. Although Roosevelt was having a pleasant conversation with Jiang Cheng on the surface, he never heard it for a moment. These requests made by Jiang Cheng were obviously preparing for war. It seems that China also knew that Japan was going to take action.
I hope this war can completely wake up the United States, which only wants to live in its own world.
Jiang Cheng knew that his thoughts about stockings were too simplistic. Although Roosevelt was one of the few presidents in American history who dared to compete with conglomerates and even won, he did not dare to put his hope in him. Jiang Cheng immediately found out
Report it to Chen Nan in Germany and ask him to communicate with Hitler immediately. Roosevelt's words in the United States may not be useful, but Hitler in Germany means nothing.
Jiang Cheng also sent a message to Shanghai, asking Yu Qiaqing and others to send the pre-selected students to the United States first and prepare to accept overseas Chinese in the United States.
In fact, Southeast Asia has the largest number of overseas Chinese. Unfortunately, he has never had the opportunity to go there. Jiang Cheng asked Situ Meitang about the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. Situ Meitang was stunned for a while when he heard about Southeast Asia, and then thought for a while and said, "You should be right."
Is it Nanyang?”
It turns out that the term Southeast Asia did not exist in this era. This era should be called Nanyang Overseas Chinese. Later Jiang Cheng found out that the British regarded Southeast Asia as a war zone during World War II, and this name came into being. After that, everyone got used to it, and it became a new term.
region (for the convenience of viewing in this article, they are collectively referred to as Nanyang). The earliest history of overseas Chinese in Nanyang cannot be tested, but the only thing that can be determined is that the overseas Chinese in Nanyang are the overseas Chinese group with the largest number of overseas Chinese in the world and the strongest economic power. But in the past few hundred years,
During the colonial rule and the Manchu and Qing government's disregard for it, recognition of China gradually declined, and it was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that there was a complete change.
Before the Revolution of 1911, the propaganda activities of the reformers and revolutionaries in Nanyang successfully guided the overseas Chinese's identification with family, clan, and hometown to their identification with China. After the Revolution of 1911, the overseas Chinese's identification with the motherland followed the development of the motherland.
The national crisis became more intense as the national crisis deepened. The nationalist sentiment that sprouted in the late Qing Dynasty developed into a strong patriotic craze in the late 1930s. In particular, civilian overseas Chinese were unable to participate in local affairs and politics, and had no permanent property in the local area.
Without status, their purpose of immigrating is mainly to return home in rich clothes one day. When the survival of their home country is at stake, their concern for their relatives and hometown can easily deepen into their identification with the Chinese nation.
A large part of the hatred of overseas Chinese towards the Japanese comes from themselves. Overseas Chinese have long occupied a dominant position in the economy of Southeast Asia. However, after World War I, Japanese chambers of commerce entered Nanyang in large numbers. In the Malay Peninsula, the Japanese in order to promote Japanese goods
, Japanese businessmen went to the countryside to sworn sworn ties with the natives, led the natives to organize cooperatives, etc., all sold Japanese goods, and the Japanese side provided various conveniences. The economic expansion of the Japanese businessmen was carried out under the erosion and damage to the traditional economic field of the Chinese businessmen, and they tried to replace
The purpose of the Chinese businessmen is obvious. This kind of economic expansion has made the Chinese businessmen feel the pain, and it has also made anti-Japanese patriotism, which is closely related to safeguarding their own interests, a concept more easily accepted by overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia.
Up to now, overseas Chinese in various parts of Southeast Asia have established national salvation associations and national salvation groups in various places. Now they also have their own leaders, namely the famous Tan Kah Kee (Singapore), Li Qingquan (Philippines), and Zhuang Xiyan.
(Indonesia).
But perhaps because Nanyang has been under colonial rule for a long time, the overseas Chinese have never known much about the parties. In their minds, they only have the term China. They are also confused about who is the right and wrong of the red and white parties. However, because the local colonists are all Westerners,
The White Party is the central government. Therefore, it is still quite prejudiced against the Red Party. It is not easy to persuade them to help Yan'an. However, in recent years, because the Chinese Red Party has continued to issue statements of unity against Japan, some overseas Chinese also have a favorable impression of the Red Party.
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he understood that if he wanted to gather the power of Southeast Asia, he must convince these three people. Jiang Cheng took this to heart and decided to meet these three people after the Anti-Japanese War broke out.
After Jiang Cheng settled the matter in the United States, he returned to modern times. The familiar pressure made Jiang Cheng understand that he had finally upgraded. Calculating the time, it was already June 25th in the Republic of China, and the war over there was about to begin.
It's about to explode.
After looking at the time, Jiang Cheng decided to sleep as much as possible and talk about other things tomorrow.
The next day, after Jiang Cheng ate the breakfast prepared by Yu Na, he skipped work again.
The first thing Jiang Cheng decided to do was to solve the problem of stockings. If stockings wanted to break through the blockade, they had to be a hit first, so publicity was the key. In 1937, when television was not yet popular, poster publicity was the best way. Western aesthetics and
The aesthetics in the East are very different, and the aesthetics during World War II are different from modern aesthetics, so Jiang Cheng did not dare to choose photos of modern Hollywood stars in later generations, so he had to choose photos of famous female movie stars during World War II and after the war. Speaking of
Of course, the most famous ones are Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. These two are now eight and eleven years old. It is most reassuring to use their photos.
In fact, there were many famous movie stars in 1937, such as Rita Hayworth, Katherine Hepburn, etc. However, because the backgrounds of these female movie stars are so long, Jiang Cheng did not know who was behind them, but they must be related to those plutocrats.
There is an inescapable relationship.
Jiang Cheng didn't want to work so hard to take photos for advertising, only to leak the news about the stockings in advance and be banned early. Gallagher showed up again at this time, constantly commenting on the two celebrities, and saying that he
The beauty of the planet, when Gallagher said that the most popular star on his planet has two pairs of black shiny legs, perfect barbs and green compound eyes, Jiang Cheng completely understood the truth that it is impossible to fall in love with different races.
After Jiang Cheng prepared all the things he needed to prepare for selling stockings, he finally had a conscience and drove to work.
Arriving at the company, Sun Ning saw Jiang Cheng immediately taking a lot of documents and throwing them on Jiang Cheng's desk. Jiang Cheng looked at Sun Ning, confused as to why he had offended her again.
Sun Ning was indeed unhappy. Sun Ning already knew from Tyrannosaurus that Jiang Cheng disappeared and appeared mysteriously after going to sea. Although he has not found out which company did it, it is certain that Jiang Cheng is definitely the one who did it.
Sent by foreign forces, that is to say, Jiang Cheng must be a spy! A traitor!
Jiang Cheng scratched his head and said, "What are these?"
Sun Ning calmed down and said, "These are the companies you want me to acquire. A ham sausage factory, a compressed biscuit factory, a bacon factory, a sausage factory, and a cannery. Let me take a look. They have started production now."
, and the military uniforms, helmets and other materials you requested are also ready. One hundred military radios have been prepared for you, as well as a large number of university textbooks and some science and engineering books you requested last time. When will you
Go and have a look?"
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that. After the small factory here starts operating, there will be a steady stream of supplies in Yan'an. Jiang Cheng wrote down Lin Fei's phone number and said, "This is my new warehouse, one of mine."
If you want to send Xiaokai, you can contact him and you can send all these supplies here in the future."
Sun Ning took the note, nodded and said, "The silver you asked for has been all arrived. It is now in the bank vault. You can withdraw it anytime you want."
Jiang Cheng had already transferred the time and space point from Shanghai in the Republic of China to Black Iron Island. Now he had to go back to Yan'an first and then transfer to Shanghai before transporting it. Fortunately, it has been upgraded now and there is one more time and space point, which is enough.
Jiang Cheng said, "Don't rush these things now. I will tell you in advance when I need them. Please help me prepare the supplies in the USB flash drive. I can use them."
Sun Ning waited for Jiang Cheng to leave and opened the USB flash drive. The contents were as weird as ever. First, there were Chinese Pinyin textbooks for children to learn literature, and countless primary school textbooks. Then there were countless laboratories.
I just used the equipment, and it is relatively low-end. I really don’t know what else can be researched on such equipment. Then I also asked for 50 tons of diesel, which is a bit much if I use it myself, but if I sell it -
- There is really no profit from this. In the end, we have to buy a lot of large hardware and small hardware. It is not surprising to separate these goods individually, but together - what on earth does the force behind Jiang Cheng want to do? So
With so many teaching materials available, are they ready to abandon their own language and use Chinese?
Sun Ning returned to his residence at night to report the latest situation to Tyrannosaurus. Tyrannosaurus knew that the people behind Jiang Cheng might have discovered them since the last time Zifeng returned without success but escaped unharmed, but no
He knew the purpose but had no reaction at all. When he saw the information reported by Sun Ning, Tyrannosaurus's first reaction was that this force was trying to show goodwill to China.
Tyrannosaurus immediately reported his thoughts to Qian Hong. When Qian Hong heard that he actually asked for countless primary school enlightenment textbooks, he immediately said, "This is a good sign, an obvious good sign. Your information is very timely. According to your
All the field rations they bought were required to be written in Russian. It can be seen that their influence must be from the socialist camp during the Cold War. Now that he buys so many Chinese teaching books, it can be seen as an internal force within their influence.
The rise of pro-China forces is very good. In this way, some previous things can be explained. I think he sold gold before to show his goodwill, um - cultural relics too, very good. I will explain the situation to my superiors.
, don’t move lightly, continue to observe, maybe we will get another Bati."
After Jiang Cheng and Sun Ning finished talking about the matter, they found Yu Na. Yu Na was doing the accounting, and it was difficult for her. Because of him, Jiang Cheng's company had always had more expenses than income, and a large amount of goods were unaccounted for.
Jiang Cheng, who was losing money, had many old connections in the taxation and industrial and commercial departments, and his superiors had told him to turn a blind eye to his company, so he was fine all the time, otherwise he would have been investigated long ago.
Yu Na actually knew that Jiang Cheng's company was not normal, but her personality prevented her from interrogating Jiang Cheng. She could only try her best to make Huawei Company's accounts look as good as possible, hoping to help Jiang Cheng.
busy.
Jiang Cheng looked at Yu Na's busy back and counted the days. Yu Na had been with him for a few months. Every time he came back, he would leave in a hurry. He just hoped that the vacation in December would make her happier. He hoped that he would do this.
If there are more, it will save a little blood for China during the Republic of China.
Jiang Cheng didn't bother her, but went home by himself to prepare her favorite spicy hotpot.
Yu Na secretly saw that Jiang Cheng had left. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and her nose was a little sore. However, she suppressed a smile and said to the financial assistant next to her, "Okay, let's review the financial statements for this quarter, especially the stockings department."
, there is a special bonus, please be careful."
When Yu Na dragged her tired body back home, she smelled a tempting spicy smell and saw Jiang Cheng dressed as a chef, with candles on the dining table. Jiang Cheng smiled, bowed and said, "Dear Madam,
Please try the super luxurious and invincible ultimate Malatang set meal prepared for you by the famous master Master Kong."
Yu Na looked at the Malatang on the table, burst out laughing and said, "Has anyone used Malatang as a candlelight dinner?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "As long as you like it, come on, I've been preparing it for a long time."
Yu Na wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "Yeah."
After Jiang Cheng and Yu Na ate a lot of meatballs and vegetables, they talked about recent interesting things while eating. Then they laughed and watched anime together. After Yu Na got a little sleepy and coaxed Yu Na to fall asleep, Jiang Cheng got through
I called Lin Fei's phone, and it seemed that Lin Fei's place was still working. It was very noisy and there was the sound of machinery roaring.
Jiang Cheng asked, "How is it, Lin Fei, how far is the construction of the warehouse?"
Lin Fei shouted loudly, "Brother Cheng, everything is going well. I found a large construction team and worked in three shifts. I also asked the latest design team to help us with modular construction. It will be completed in a few days."
It’s capped.”
Jiang Cheng nodded and said with a smile, "What is the final standard? What are the length, width and height?"
Lin Fei yelled, "It's 67 meters long, 45 meters wide, and 20 meters high. It's equipped with the latest ventilation system and refrigeration system. It can be used as a meat warehouse. Brother Cheng, is this construction really suitable? There is no partition in the middle."
, it would be very dangerous to pile them up so high.”
Jiang Cheng said, "Don't worry about this, just do this. Do it as soon as possible. A woman who teaches Sun Ning will contact you recently. From now on, the goods she gives you will be placed in the warehouse. I will tell you when I want to transport them."
How to put them, you first transport them all to the corner of the warehouse, leaving the middle free, do you understand?"
Lin Fei shouted, "Brother Cheng, don't worry, I won't embarrass you."
After Jiang Cheng hung up the phone, he thought it would take some time before the warehouse was ready. He would first transport military uniforms and the like this time, then go to Shanghai via Yan'an, and finally transport the silver to Shanghai. As long as it is in August
Just make these preparations beforehand. I hope everything goes well.
After Jiang Cheng spent a weekend with Yu Na, he came to the warehouse where supplies were stored and returned to Yan'an in the Republic of China with a warehouse of supplies.
(PS: Some readers expressed that they do not understand why the character of the heroine No. 1 is designed like this. Let me tell you that the protagonist is a person who disappears easily. Readers, please think from the perspective of a girl. Are you willing to put yourself in the role of a girl?
Are you entrusting your life to someone who disappears easily and never knows where he is, and you will never find him if he doesn't look for you? As I said before, I want to write this book as truthfully as possible. If
If you choose to be a time traveler and cannot share this secret with your lover, then you must be mentally prepared for her to leave you at any time. Although it is a novel, we cannot require a modern heroine to have such a high ideological awareness.
So only this kind of good girl will stay in modern times stupidly waiting for your return.)
