I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 443

After Jin Jiu opened the door and left, Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo with a smile: "Wei'er, why do you think Jin Jiu came to me?"

Jiang Weiguo grinned: "Father, are you testing me? Of course the answer is ready to come out! The Koreans want us to help them restore their country!" After the end, the Kingdom of Korea (Korean Peninsula) broke away from China's control and became a semi-colony contested by Japan and Russia.

43 years ago (1897), King Gojong of North Korea established the "Korean Empire" with the support of Tsarist Russia. Since then, the name of the Kingdom of Korea has been changed to "Han"; Japan ended with a complete victory, and North Korea (Korean Empire) completely became a Japanese colony; 36 years ago (1904), Japan forced the Korean Empire government to sign the "Japan-Korea Merger Treaty", and Japan officially annexed the Korean Empire. The Korean peninsula is no longer an independent country, but part of Japan itself.

After the complete demise of South Korea, there are four powerful Korean restoration forces around the world. One is the "Korean Committee" headed by Rhee Syngman, which is mainly active in the United States and is a pro-American force; The "Communist Party of Korea" (later renamed the Workers' Party of Korea), mainly active in Northeast China and the Soviet Union, is a pro-Soviet and pro-Yan'an communist force; Activities in China are pro-American and pro-KMT forces; there is also the Democratic Party of Korea in South Korea, which is a pro-Japanese force, mainly cooperating with the Japanese half-heartedly and acting as a puppet Korean traitor for the Japanese to rule the Korean Peninsula.

As for the subsequent development, it is well known that the Korean peninsula was divided into two by the United States and the Soviet Union. The provisional government in South Korea was basically merged into the "Grand National Party of Korea", with Kim Koo as the chairman and ruling South Korea (Republic of Korea). Kim Koo was also honored as the "Father of Korea" by South Korea. Kim Goo's successor.

At this time, the provisional government of the Republic of Korea is in Wuhan, and the chairman of the government is this Kim Koo. Because it is already a government in exile, it can only live under the Chinese fence.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction, and then said enthusiastically: "Jin Jiu hinted to me that as long as China helps South Korea to restore its country, South Korea will be a completely pro-China country in the future, and China can even station troops in South Korea. However, I also feel hesitant. , Weier, do you know why?"

Jiang Weiguo smiled and said, "Of course I know.

Helping South Korea restore the country will naturally expand our sphere of influence, but we are now allies with Japan, and helping South Korea restore the country will naturally stimulate Japan and lead to the breakdown of the Sino-Japanese alliance!"

"Yes!" Chiang Kai-shek sighed, "Wei'er, what do you think?"

Jiang Weiguo shrugged: "First of all, I have no doubt that we will go to war with the Japanese again in the future. Even if the Japanese do not go to war, we must take the initiative to fight them. If we don't completely beat the Japanese to the ground, how can we have long-term peace and stability in China? On the other hand, how can we allow others to snore? Therefore, South Korea must control it, and the Koreans must win it over, but not yet, but we must hold this pawn in our hands, and we must not let it be used by others!"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded again: "Wei'er, you may not know that the Japanese have repeatedly asked me to deport Jin Jiu and the others, or acquiesce to Japanese agents sneaking into our country to destroy them, so as to prove our sincerity to the Sino-Japanese alliance. It’s really hard to have a policy of delaying this!”

Jiang Weiguo disagreed: "Father, don't worry, we don't need to make concessions to the Japanese. The current Sino-Japanese relationship is not what it used to be. We used to be afraid of the Japanese, but now we are not afraid, and the Sino-Japanese alliance is not only for our benefit. , the Japanese also benefit, we need to use the Japanese, and the Japanese cannot do without us, so the Japanese can only turn a blind eye to some things we do!" He remembered something and smiled Dao said, "Especially now that a quarter of the Baku oilfield is in our hands, the Japanese want to curry favor with us even more.

Father, you don’t know that the Japanese Prime Minister, the Japanese Army Minister, and the Japanese Navy Minister have sent people to me many times, asking me to increase oil exports to Japan with smiles on their faces.

Father, don't worry!How can the Japanese leave us!If we are not happy, we will cut off the oil and see if they can dance for a few more days! "

Chiang Kai-shek also laughed: "Yes, the oil is in our hands, and the Japanese will rely on us!" He stood up, "Okay, no more, let's go, I'm going to see my grandchildren and me. The second daughter-in-law in the future!"

Chapter 518 The arrival of winter (3)

This is the first time that Jiang Weiguo brought his girlfriend home, strictly speaking, it is the second time, because he had brought Yangmei home before, but Yangmei was brought by him not as Jiang Weiguo's girlfriend but as Jiang Weiguo's guard The one who went back to the Jiang family's hometown in Xikou Town is now bringing Junzi back to the official residence of the Jiang family.

Jiang Weiguo secretly felt that this was a bit funny, he had no intention of treating this pure child as his girlfriend at all, let alone marrying her, but he had no choice but to take her home as his real girlfriend or even his fiancee.

A big man like Chiang Kai-shek has long been refined in dealing with people. He knew from the very beginning that Jiang Weiguo was not interested in Chunzi at all, although many people, including many Japanese and many Chinese, think that Jiang Weiguo is "on the surface Anti-Japanese, but deep down he is actually a pro-Japanese faction”, but no one knows Jiang Weiguo better than Chiang Kai-shek. On the surface, Jiang Weiguo is an extremely stubborn anti-Japanese faction and hater. Haters of Japan, outsiders don't know, Chiang Kai-shek is the son of Mo Ruofu, because Jiang Weiguo told him in private long ago that "China will conduct a comprehensive settlement against Japan in the future" and also proposed multiple sets of wars that China will fight against Japan in the future Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek knew that his youngest son was "incorrigible" in the matter of anti-Japanese hatred, and Jiang Weiguo's "acceptance" of Junzi was only to deceive and paralyze the Japanese.

Although Chiang Kai-shek doesn't particularly agree with Jiang Weiguo's thinking, he must cooperate with Jiang Weiguo to perform his tricks well, and put on a kind and kind appearance of "future father-in-law" in front of Junzi.

In the yard, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling received Junzi with smiles, chatted with Junzi in a gentle manner, asked her how she was doing in China, and they also gave Junzi a few copies, although they were not very expensive. But clearly a well-chosen gift.

Overall, the atmosphere at the scene can be described as happy and harmonious, full of the warmth and warmth of a family.

Jiang Weiguo watched from the side, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really fucking 'life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills', I am acting, and the old man is also acting, and their acting is better than professional actors. The clothes are seamless, there are no flaws, and the most troublesome thing is..." He quietly glanced at Junko, Junko was like a real unmarried daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law for the first time, with a blushing face, a shy expression, and soft movements Respectful, shy and real, nervous and natural, "Is this little Japanese girl also acting?" Jiang Weiguo guessed suspiciously, Junko is two years younger than Jiang Weiguo, and people in this age group are capable enough to play tricks and play tricks. She is scheming, Jiang Weiguo doesn't really believe that she is really as pure as she looks and her name is. Although the two have never held hands until now, it is very appropriate to use the word "same bed, different dreams" to describe their relationship But no more.

It was afternoon when Jiang Weiguo and his party returned home, so the reunion dinner had to be eaten in the evening.

Everyone in the Chiang family is a busy person. According to the order of busyness, Chiang Kai-shek is the busiest, followed by Jiang Weiguo, Song Meiling is the third, and Chiang Ching-kuo is the fourth. Chiang Kai-shek has endless batches of documents to open all day long. Yes, Jiang Weiguo is actually the same, but he has gone home now, so he steals half a day off, but in fact he doesn't have much free time, because another important person came to him.

It was Guy Rothschild who came to see Jiang Weiguo.

Guy is not very old, he is 31 years old this year, but he has a "high position and authority". He is one of the main representatives of Jewish institutions in China. In fact, he is the main contact person between Jewish organizations and Jiang Weiguo. It is estimated that people of similar ages are considered The reason is that it is easier to negotiate, so the Jewish high-level officials have always asked Guy to be in charge of liaison with Jiang Weiguo. After a long time, Guy and Jiang Weiguo also have quite a personal relationship. The two are already friends, which is naturally beneficial to Sino-Jewish relations. Jiang Weiguo is also very satisfied with Guy, because Guy understands Jiang Weiguo's character very well. Jiang Weiguo likes to do things straight and straightforward, and doesn't like to beat around the bush.

"Brother!" Jiang Weiguo went to call Jiang Jingguo, "Guy came to us and discussed something with us!"

Guy was a little surprised, because he was just looking for Jiang Weiguo. He didn't know why Jiang Weiguo changed his words, but he was a shrewd person, so he understood everything. He smiled and nodded to Jiang Jingguo who was walking quickly: "Yes , Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, the chairman is out for a meeting, so I can only come to you!"

Jiang Jingguo looked excited: "What's the matter?"

The three of them walked and chatted in the small garden behind the mansion.

Gay knew that Chiang Ching-kuo was not an "outsider", so he was honest and straight to the point: "We have two things that require the Chinese government's consent and support, Second Young Master, I have already mentioned it to you last time!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "It's a very important matter, I have to discuss it with you, brother!" He looked at Jiang Jingguo, "Finally, it will be decided by father, brother, I can't make up my mind, I need your help!"

Jiang Jingguo nodded with a smile.

Guy took a deep breath: "First, we want to establish a provisional government of the Jewish State in China, similar to the provisional government of South Korea. You know that we are eager to restore the country, although we are still Not an inch of territory, but with a rainy day, we can start to form a government!"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Jiang Jingguo: "Brother, what do you think?"

Jiang Jingguo frowned and thought for a while: "I don't think there is any obstacle at this time, the only obstacle is the attitude of the German government and Hitler.

As we all know, Fuehrer Hitler was a staunch anti-Semite. However, China and Germany have close relations. In order to get support from China, Fuehrer Hitler adopted a lenient countermeasure against Jews. I think we help Jews establish a provisional government, as long as it does not damage Hitler should turn a blind eye to the interests of Germany!"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Gay: "The second thing is to build a Jewish army, right?"

Guy nodded: "Yes, although we don't have a country, but we have a provisional government and an army, the restoration of the country is naturally more natural.

The establishment of the Jewish army will never harm the interests of China. If we want to restore the country, we must have an army. Otherwise, our interim government can only do nothing like the Korean interim government. Our army must be a staunch ally of the Chinese army. It is also no problem to participate in the Soviet war for China, and the casualties and losses suffered are all borne by ourselves.

In fact, this is still a business for us that earns more and loses less. Through actual combat, the Jewish army will have actual combat experience and a large number of veterans with actual combat experience. After the official restoration of the country, this mature army can better defend A new, fragile Jewish state!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo with very sincere eyes.

Jiang Weiguo thought for a while: "You made this request to me three months ago. I allowed you to start training recruits. I wonder how many recruits you have trained?"

Guy replied, "One hundred thousand!"

Jiang Weiguo was taken aback: "So many?"

Guy nodded: "There are a lot of Jews in China, and [-] soldiers are only a small proportion, and we consider that China needs skilled Jews, so the skilled Jewish young adults basically don't get the opportunity to join the Jewish army. approve.

If we really want to recruit soldiers freely, we will not have a problem recruiting 100 million people!"

Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette: "Guy, how many Jews are there in China now?"

Gay replied: "As of the end of last year (1940), there were more than 900 million, and that does not include Jews who have been naturalized in China, Chinese-Jewish mixed-race children born in China, and Jews who died in China!" (according to Jewish Nationality Bloodline definition criteria: As long as the mother is Jewish, this person is Jewish, so the child born to a Chinese woman and a Jewish man is not considered a Jew, and the child born to a Chinese man and a Jewish woman is a Jew.

Of course, the Jewish nation has other criteria for defining blood, but the mainstream is still "based on the mother".

）

Jiang Weiguo was secretly surprised: "900 million? Damn! That's a lot! No wonder I saw yellow-haired foreigners all over the streets in Beiping, Taiyuan, Jinan, Qingdao and other places, but not many in Wuhan!"

The organized, planned, centralized, and large-scale migration of Jews to China officially began at the end of 1938, when the "Crystal Night" incident broke out in Germany, marking the beginning of Germany's official anti-Semitism, anti-Semitism, and even extermination. Jew, under the coercion of Germany and the invitation (plus temptation) of China, the Jews began to come to China in a mighty way.

At this time, there were about 1600 million Jews in the world, of which about 900 million were in Europe, and the remaining about 700 million were distributed in other parts of the world (mostly in the United States). Since they were not killed by Hitler, the total number of Jews in the world was growing normally. And the location of the distribution has undergone major changes. More than 900 million Jews have come to China, accounting for more than 56% of the total number of Jews in the world. In 1939, the number of Jews who came to China was as high as more than 400 million. 1940 million, and the remaining 500 million people are distributed all over the world. The number of Jews in Europe has dropped sharply, to less than 700, mainly in Britain and France (because these two countries are not allies of Germany on the one hand, and will not collude with Germany , On the one hand, it seems to be capable of blocking German aggression, and will not become a German occupied area.

European Jews will definitely not stay in Germany, nor will they stay in Germany's allies, such as Italy, Spain, nor will they stay in countries that may be attacked by Germany but have no ability to stop Germany's attack, such as the Netherlands and Belgium) , the number of Jews in the United States has also been greatly reduced, making China the largest Jewish concentration area in the world.

There are three reasons why so many Jews came to China. One is that Germany is preparing to raise the butcher knife against Jews. Other countries are either anti-Semitic or reject Jews because they hate Jews and are afraid of offending Germany. There are no places where Jews can go to. Not many. Second, China took the initiative to invite Jews and formulated many preferential policies for Jews, thus attracting Jews. Third, senior Jewish leaders secretly signed a cooperation treaty with China. China promised to help Jews restore their country. When civilians came to China, even if some Jews did not really want to come to China, they had to come to China. This caused the number of Jews in China to increase from 10,000+ to more than 900 million in just two years.

It is naturally a breeze for more than 900 million Jews to form an army of 10 people.

After Jiang Weiguo agreed to this matter, although he had nothing to lose (he was in serious financial constraints, not to mention that the Jews were so rich that there was no need for him to allocate funds), he sent thousands of Nanjing Army veterans as instructors to help the Jews train recruits.

Although there are many Jews who come to China, Jiang Weiguo does not need to worry about them occupying their nests. For one thing, the total number of them is only one-fortieth of the Chinese. There is no foundation on the ground. Secondly, they have no armed forces. Even if they build an army, they will definitely be controlled by the Chinese army. Thirdly, with the shrewd wisdom of the Jews, it is absolutely impossible for them to do such stupid things as turning against customers, and the Jews are not that treacherous , insidious, vicious, short-sighted, and ungrateful race.

The Jews wanted to form an army, and Jiang Weiguo had no reason to oppose it. This is a good thing that both parties can benefit from. The Jewish army assists the Chinese army in fighting. At the very least, it can reduce the bloodshed of the Chinese army. Naturally, there is nothing good about it.

The only thing Jiang Weiguo worried about was the cost issue.

"Guy, I support you in forming an army, but..." Jiang Weiguo said in embarrassment, "Your army needs training, weapons and equipment, and logistical supplies. These... Our Chinese army is also very tight..."

Guy laughed: "Second son, we only need to get your approval, and you don't need to worry about funds and weapons at all.

Arming 10 people is a lot of money, but we can afford it!"

Jiang Weiguo laughed and said: "I know you Jews are very rich, but sometimes you can't buy things even if you have money! Who do you buy military equipment from? Our Chinese military itself is in short supply, and the Germans probably won't sell it. The Japanese are also tight!"

Guy smiled brighter and brighter: "Second son, I like your Chinese proverb very much, money can make ghosts turn mills.

Money is not omnipotent, because nothing in this world is omnipotent, but money is the closest thing to omnipotence.

To tell you the truth, we have already contacted several arms tycoons in the United States, ordered enough American weapons to arm 10 people, and they are ready to be shipped. Considering that we are protected by the Chinese government and we live in China, Naturally, you cannot buy arms from others without telling the owner, so as long as you agree, those American ships full of American-made arms can set off from the United States and arrive in China within a month!"

Jiang Weiguo was amazed: "It turns out that you have already prepared it!"

Guy smiled and nodded: "Although the Americans keep saying that they want to be neutral, they have always been mercenary. As long as they have money and enough money, there is nothing they can't do, including letting the Americans sell us arms secretly. Of course, they We have offered several times the price, and we can only accept it!"

Jiang Weiguo understood.

After the Allied Powers went to war against the Soviet Union, the top leaders of the United States, Britain, and France felt vigilant and uneasy. In order to suppress the Allied Powers, they imposed economic sanctions on Germany, China, Japan, and Italy, which greatly reduced the export of strategic materials such as oil and rubber. Among them, there are mainly heavy weapons such as airplanes, tanks, large-caliber artillery, and warships. However, the governments of the United States, Britain, and France, and the chaebol groups in the three countries want to make war fortunes, so they are willing to sell things other than oil, rubber, and heavy weapons. asking price.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Weiguo can buy arms from the Americans right now, but it is difficult to buy heavy weapons, and the price of ordinary arms has also increased several times, making it very uneconomical for Jiang Weiguo to buy arms from the Americans, but the Jews don’t care. money.

"Okay, let's report this matter to my father at night!" Jiang Weiguo nodded, "After my father agrees, we will call a meeting of high-level government officials to discuss it. If you get unanimous approval, you can formally form an army.

Personally, I think that my father and the top officials of the government have no reason to object!"

Guy was immediately overjoyed: "Second Young Master, First Young Master, thank you!"

Jiang Jingguo said: "It seems that your army will be able to fight side by side with the national army on the Soviet battlefield not long after it is officially formed. However, in what political name is your army participating in the Soviet war? Your provisional government needs to answer Has the USSR declared war?"

Gay thought for a while and replied: "It should be inconvenient to declare war. Declaring war on other countries just after the establishment of the provisional government may cause unnecessary trouble. Join the Soviet war as a member of the Chinese army!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Well, you can declare that those Jewish soldiers are Jewish Chinese soldiers who have acquired Chinese nationality, so as to save unnecessary trouble!"

Guy nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, this is the best!"

The three discussed for more than ten minutes, and Guy finally left with gratitude, and took out a check to Jiang Weiguo before leaving.

For this kind of blatant bribery, Guy gave it simply and neatly, and Jiang Weiguo took it simply and neatly. He would not turn down the opportunity to make money for the so-called integrity.

After Guy left, Jiang Weiguo couldn't wait to read the check. The number on it made him laugh out loud: "5000 million dollars! Haha! These Jews are really generous!"

"Of course they want to be generous!" Chiang Ching-kuo laughed, "They want to form a provisional government and army, and they cannot do without our support.

While this is a simple move for us, we provide political convenience that they do not.

However, Weiguo, are you really not worried that the Jews will be too big? "

"Brother, don't worry!" Jiang Weiguo was very confident, "That kind of thing won't happen, the Jews are not Japanese!"

After this matter was dealt with, it was already evening, Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling also returned from their official duties, and the family of eight had a lively reunion dinner.

After the meal, Jiang Weiguo and Chiang Ching-kuo went to Chiang Kai-shek's study and reported that the Jews hoped to establish a provisional government and army. Chiang Kai-shek was very interested in this and did not show any objection: "This matter is really good for us. If you don’t offend Fuhrer Hitler, it’s okay for us to do this kind of favor!”

The father and son discussed for a while, and they all felt that this matter was feasible.

After the talk, Kong Lingkan drove over, first met Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling respectfully, and then warmly invited Jiang Weiguo and Chiang Ching-kuo to the ball.

Jiang Jingguo declined. Jiang Weiguo didn't want to go at first, but couldn't stand Kong Lingkan's various persuasion, so he reluctantly took Chunzi to participate.

The dance held by Kong Lingkan was held in a luxurious western-style ballroom in the center of Wuhan. He spent a lot of money to buy the entire ballroom.

The ballroom was naturally resplendent and luxurious, but Jiang Weiguo felt extremely disgusted and even disgusted immediately after entering.

"Second Young Master is here! Everyone welcome Second Young Master!" Kong Lingkan, who led Jiang Weiguo into the door, shouted loudly with a flushed face.

Immediately there was warm applause and various words of welcome in the ballroom.

Jiang Weiguo reluctantly took a look at the scene, excluding the waiters, there were hundreds of people, all of whom were young, needless to say, they were all the second generation of officials or the second generation of rich people, the men were well-dressed and personable, the women were flamboyant and beautiful, all of them were young. Everyone applauded and looked at Jiang Weiguo with smiles on their faces, and then rushed forward together, just like the stars of later generations seeing stars.

Undoubtedly, Jiang Weiguo was the focus of the scene and immediately attracted everyone's attention. However, Jiang Weiguo himself did not enjoy this feeling of being sought after by everyone, but was very annoying.

Of course, Jiang Weiguo himself is also the second-generation official, and the first second-generation official in China. Logically, he is the "leader" of the second-generation Chinese at this time, but he does not belong to the same circle as these young men and women at the scene.

"Second Young Master, I have admired your reputation for a long time! I am..."
