I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 571

South America, the only continent among the six continents that has not been affected by the world war, Ecuador, a small country in the northwest of South America; Manta, a small port facing the Pacific Ocean in the west of Ecuador, near a deserted wild beach.

The night was dark, and dozens of young and middle-aged men dressed as locals were waiting patiently and vigilantly on the shore. Although they were dressed in civilian clothes, they were loaded with live ammunition and well-equipped. Breath and a kind of vigor and calmness that has killed people and seen blood.

While waiting, "Head, here we come!" A young man pointed to the distant sea in a low voice, and everyone looked at it together, only to see a few whirlpool-like waves rising up on the dark but sparkling sea under the moonlight. In the big splash and vortex, several black submarines surfaced calmly.

The armed personnel on the shore immediately sent the agreed light signal with the flashlight on and off, and the submarine command tower responded immediately. After both sides confirmed that the other party was their own, each submarine put down the rubber boats one after another, full of personnel and heavy logs. The box rowed towards the shore.

The armed personnel on the shore stood at attention solemnly and welcomed them.

"Brothers, you have worked hard!"

"Brothers, you have worked hard too!"

"To each other! Although we have different positions and different locations, we are all serving our motherland!"

The two sides first saluted each other solemnly, because they are both soldiers, and then hugged each other tightly, because they are all compatriots.

All they speak is Chinese.

"Why did we come to Ecuador this time? Didn't we all go to Colombia before?"

"No way, Colombia is close to the Panama Canal, which is the site of the Americans. There are more and more US ships in the waters on both sides of the Panama Canal. If you go to Colombia, it will be very bad luck if you are discovered by US ships!"

"That's right! Come on, order some goods! Eighty tons of high-purity heroin are shipped from the Golden Triangle and Golden Crescent, and there are also weapons and equipment that can arm 3000 people, including machine guns, mortars, etc. The infantry has heavy weapons and more than 1000 tons of ammunition, filling all of our transport submarines!"

"Eighty tons? My God! Why did the second son send us so much goods at once?"

"Brothers, it's not that you don't know that the Golden Triangle originally mainly sold goods to India and Southeast Asia, and the Golden Crescent originally mainly sold goods to Europe, Africa, etc., but right now, Southeast Asia has been divided between us and the Japanese. , Europe is the territory of the Germans, and Africa has been divided between us and the Germans and Italians. We must not be able to ship from our own territory, and it is not convenient to ship from the territories of those dependent countries and friendly countries, so it leads to the Golden Triangle and Golden Triangle. The supply of Xinyue’s goods is already exceeding demand, and the business over there is shrinking, so naturally, this batch of goods with a backlog of inventory will be sent to you for sale!”

"That's right, we got it.

Good guy, the second son really deserves to be the 'Emperor of Drugs' by using naval submarines to transport drugs from Asia to the Americas through the Pacific Ocean!Who can match such a big deal? "

"Hey, our navy submarines don't have missions right now, so I'll help you guys.

By the way, the second son also explained that in the future, the goods sold to the United States should be appropriately reduced. Although the United States has not officially declared war with our country, they have actually gone to war with each other. The overseas Chinese in the United States have been greatly affected. In order to protect Good for those overseas Chinese, these dirty things should be restrained.

After all, if you do too much, you will easily be caught and become a reason for the Americans to persecute our overseas Chinese.

I heard that the 3K Klan in the United States has openly declared that 'overseas Chinese are drug dealers who harm Americans'. This statement has been widely supported by the American people. The American gangs fought fiercely for dozens of times, and many Hongmen brothers died.

Don't forget, strong dragons don't suppress local snakes. After all, Mr. Situ and the others are in the homeland of the Americans. The FBI is also constantly investigating them. Both black and white in the United States are suppressing them. Mr. Situ is very passive. It is becoming more and more difficult for you to ship goods. We must understand Mr. Situ's difficulties. In addition, it is now a time of war, and the timing is even more unfavorable to our overseas Chinese in the United States! "

"Okay, we're reducing our shipments to the U.S. immediately.

By the way, last time we proposed to the Second Young Master to win this Ecuador, did the Second Young Master agree?Ecuador is just a low-level country with an area of ​​more than 25 square kilometers and a population of only 500 million. The situation here is particularly chaotic, with social turmoil and frequent coups. There are more than a dozen people in the top management of Ecuador who have been shipping with us for a long time. They have repeatedly hinted at us , I hope we support them in launching a coup to seize power, and they promise that they will obey our government obediently in the future.

We have repeatedly studied and found that this is feasible. The Ecuadorian army only has tens of thousands of people with poor equipment and insufficient training. , As long as we get the order of the second son, we can dispatch 5000 people to take Ecuador, but we will not show up, but hide behind the agent to control this small country.

Taking down Ecuador has many advantages. First, our country now has a dependent country and a foothold in South America. Second, it will be much more convenient for us to sell products to South America in the future.

Brothers are ready, just wait for the second son to give an order!"

"Your proposal has been repeatedly studied by the Second Young Master, and the Second Young Master does not agree for the time being.

North America is the territory of the United States, while South America is regarded by the U.S. authorities as the backyard of the United States. The U.S. authorities cannot tolerate the interference of another big country in their backyard.

We can't provoke the Americans. We must try our best to avoid a direct conflict with the United States. This is a strategy. Also, our core interests are not in South America. We only need to turn this place into a profit-making farm for our country. Sell ​​the drugs to those South Americans! "

"Okay, we will obey the second son's order.

Brothers, I wish you a smooth journey and a safe return home! "

"Take care of yourself too! When you complete the task, we will pick you up and return to your motherland!"

The two sides once again solemnly saluted each other and hugged each other tightly.

Southern Africa, Fengbao Province.

Fengbao Province is the new name of the southern part of the former British South Africa, and it is a Chinese name full of local flavor. It is one of the eighteen provinces of China in Africa. As for its name, it is because of Jiang Weiguo's words: "Since that place is full of treasures such as diamonds and gold, let's call it 'Fengbao Province'!"

Meiling City (Johannesburg, the capital of the province, was renamed "Meiling City" by Jiang Weiguo. Meiling is the homonym of the word Meiling in Song Meiling's name. Jiang Weiguo did this to make Song Meiling happy, and it also has the meaning of "fertile products and outstanding people". ), the Rand Basin on the outskirts.

The entire basin is riddled with holes like cheese. The fragmented surface is completely bare and covered with gravel, but there are dots of exciting golden luster shining among the gravel. Dozens of bottomless tunnels extend into the ground. All kinds of excavation and mining machines are parked in all directions. Obviously, this Rand Basin is a super-large mine. In fact, this basin is the "South African Rand Gold Mine Area" with the largest gold production in the world. It is the "Witwatersrand-uranium conglomerate deposit" with extremely rich gold reserves.

Discovered in 1866, the mining area is the out-and-out leader in the world's gold mining industry, with the largest gold reserves and the largest gold output, firmly occupying the top position with unparalleled advantages. The gold reserves in the mining area are about 5.3 tons, accounting for about half of the world's total gold reserves (the global gold reserves are about more than 10 tons), and the annual gold output exceeds 550 tons, and even exceeded 1000 tons at the peak, accounting for 80% of South Africa's total gold production Above, accounting for about half of the world's total gold output, it is truly the world's largest gold mine, and the high gold grade in this mining area is rare in the world.

Such a super gold mine, in the words of Jiang Weiguo: "Even if South Africa has nothing but this gold mine, I will take South Africa for this gold mine!" He thought in his heart that the Chinese army had no plan to capture South Africa and Necessary, but everyone is innocent and guilty. Who made South Africa have the most abundant gold and diamonds in the world?

In a small building full of Dutch characteristics beside the mining area, a meeting is being held.

Outside the door of the living room are big, well-armed, and murderous Chinese soldiers. There is a long table in the living room. Zheng Dongguo, the commander of the 99th Division of the Nanjing Army, sits on the chief seat. On both sides of the table are a dozen well-dressed white men in neat suits. , these Caucasians are all over half a hundred years old, and they are all well-built, with big bellies and big ears. They have obviously lived a life of pampering and luxury for a long time, but their faces that should be ruddy and shiny now are not It was as gloomy as if sentenced to death, full of extreme pain and despair.

Zheng Dongguo started to speak with a smile on his face: "Mr. Bryan, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Conrad, Mr. Gresham... I won't name them one by one. The names of your Westerners are indeed too chatty. Let me forget, well, let's get down to business.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are members of the board of directors of the Nasha Group Company that owns the Rand mining area. That is to say, all of you here are the owners of the Rand mining area.

Now, I solemnly declare to you that South Africa is already China's territory, everything here belongs to China, and this mining area belongs to the Chinese government from now on.

do you understand? "

The white people at the scene were sweating all over their heads. They were all shrewd and capable businessmen, and they were all ruthless characters in the business world. But their current opponents were foreign armies, which made their Brain, means, ability...all become useless or even meaningless things.

"General..." a white man trembled and said, "We are willing to cooperate with the Chinese government, and we are willing to continue to manage this mining area for the Chinese government..."

"Thank you very much, but we don't need it!" Zheng Dongguo said with a smile, "We in China also have professionals who are good at this, so I don't bother you.

This mining area is a treasure, we must firmly grasp it in our own hands, please forgive me!"

"General!" Another white man couldn't bear it anymore, and protested angrily, "You are illegally occupying the place! It's a crime! This mining area is our legal property! Private property is sacred and inviolable! We have a full set of procedures and certificates! "

Zheng Dongguo shrugged: "Those procedures and certificates were issued to you by the British government. I'm sorry, how could our government recognize the British government's decrees in our territory? Have you forgotten? Here, under your feet, is already Chinese territory! You all have to listen to us!" When he said the last sentence, there was no smile on his face, replaced by a sense of embarrassment.

"Then, General..." Another white man said in a trembling voice, and he spread his hands almost in despair, "Then what else can we get?"

"You can continue to live here in peace or leave here in peace!" Zheng Dongguo squinted his eyes, "Why? Isn't this enough? By the way, you have made money here for so many years, you probably have a lot of savings at home, right? "He showed the expression of a butcher when he saw the fat sheep, "I regret to inform you that all your property now belongs to us!"

After sending away these dejected white people with ashen faces, Yu Chengwan, the deputy division commander, smiled and said, "Master, are we too domineering? We are almost like Little Japan!"

Zheng Dongguo laughed: "I don't want to be as virtuous as Little Japan, but I can't help it. The country needs wealth, so we can't pretend to be fat, right? We need money urgently, but we are still polite to these fat sheep. By the way, what is the price of gold in the international market now?"

Yu Chengwan thought for a while and said, "One ounce of gold is about thirty or forty dollars, and one ton is one hundred and fifty-six million dollars.

This Rand mining area can produce five or six hundred tons of gold a year, my God, seven or eight billion dollars!This is really a cornucopia! He sighed with emotion, "Second Young Master is right!Whether it is a person or a country, making money is not as fast as stealing money! "

"That's why the Second Young Master instructed us to search this place and keep searching!" Zheng Dongguo said, "It's just a pity that most of the gold in the South African government's treasury was transported to the UK by the British government, leaving us only a few. Ten tons, alas!" He shook his head and sighed, heartbroken.

At the same time, Du Yuming, the commander of the 88th Division, was interviewing an old Caucasian man in the city government office building in Meiling City.

Du Yuming was full of joy and smiling like a flower: "Mr. Ernest Oppenheimer De Beers, the current patriarch of the De Beers family and the current chairman of the De Beers company, has long admired his name, please sit down!"

De Beers, with white beard and hair, gave a wry smile and sat opposite Du Yuming.

"You, your family, and your company can be said to be famous all over the world!" Du Yu was obviously personable, "As long as anyone who buys a diamond ring, who doesn't know the name of De Beers from the De Beers family?" Is the company the leader who monopolizes the mining and trading of diamonds around the world? After carefully studying the hard work history of you, your family, and your company, I have to be deeply amazed that someone can be as old and cunning as you? There is a Chinese saying that things are rare For your sake, tsk tsk tsk, you, an extremely shrewd and sophisticated businessman, really understand this point too deeply.

Why are diamonds so expensive?Just because its output is very low, why is its output so low?In fact, the reserves of diamonds on the earth are very large. As long as they are fully exploited, the number of diamonds on the market will increase tenfold overnight, but the price of diamonds will also plummet to one-tenth of the original value overnight. Even lower, so you bought almost all the diamond mines in southern Africa at your own expense, and deliberately suppressed the diamond mining volume to a very low number, so as to ensure that the price of diamonds in the market has always been very high, which in turn made your The family, your company has always been able to obtain high profits.

Really clever!It's breathtaking!clever!sharp! "

De Beers sighed sadly: "No matter how rich and shrewd a businessman is, he is vulnerable to the state machine.

General Du, I have self-knowledge and sufficient psychological preparation. Now, please tell me what the Chinese government intends to ask me, my family, and my company to do? "

"Cooperation!" Du Yuming looked at the other party's surrendered expression with satisfaction, "Your company controls more than one hundred diamond mines, but you deliberately closed more than 90. Originally, those diamond mines of yours could be mined for a year in total. More than 200 million carats of diamonds were produced, but under your deliberate arrangement, they only produced about 1.2 carats of diamonds in total a year.

What a waste!In addition to being used to make jewelry and sell money, diamonds are also extremely important in industry.

The Chinese government hopes to cooperate with your company in all aspects. All your diamond mines must start working immediately and fully mine diamonds. One-tenth will belong to you, and nine-tenths will belong to the Chinese government.

do you understand?Do not worry!Those diamonds from the Chinese government will not be put into the market, they will basically be used in industry, and will not affect the international market price of diamonds, and will not delay your family’s continued prosperity!"

De Beers nodded, then picked up an exquisite small suitcase he brought, put it in front of Du Yuming and opened it.

The things in the small suitcase made Du Yuming's eyes almost roll out of their sockets.

De Beers smiled reluctantly: "There are a total of eight diamonds here. Although they are not as good as the 'African Star' (the largest diamond in the world, also called the Cullinan Diamond) weighing more than 3100 carats, they are all Rare large diamonds, the largest one is more than 500 carats, and the smallest one is more than 100 carats. They are pure and transparent, with a light blue hue. They are all top-grade diamonds.

Eight diamonds, the largest one will be given to Ms. Song, the wife of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of your country, the smallest one will be given to your wife, and the other six will be given to the six wives of the two sons of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek (one for Jiang Jingguo and one for Jiang Weiguo) Five), General Du, please help me transfer the remaining seven to Chairman Jiang, Mr. Jiang, and General Jiang!"

Du Yuming immediately smiled and said, "Thank you then!" After seeing off De Beers, Du Yuming couldn't help expressing emotion: "This South Africa is really a treasure land full of treasures! It is more profitable to win here than to win the Middle East!"

Among the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, there were three outstanding students, known as the "Three Heroes of the Whampoa". One of them was He Zhonghan (he was also the only one of the "Three Heroes of the Whampoa who did not join the red camp"). Because he was too clever, he was misunderstood by his cleverness, and he was on the wrong team in the Xi'an Incident. As a result, his official career has never recovered.

Once, He Zhonghan invited Xiao Zuolin, the secretary general of the Chinese Cultural Society, to dinner. Xiao Zuolin complained loudly when he was drunk, and scolded Chiang Kai-shek for being "dumb and violent." He Zhonghan smiled and said, "What do you know? The chairman is indeed violent, but he is He is not stupid at all. Haven’t you seen how clever he is in controlling his subordinates and playing tricks? He can let go of everything, but he has always firmly grasped the three key points of the army, secret agents, and finances. In his own hands, these are his three lifebloods. Each of the three lifebloods has his most trusted person in charge of him. At the same time, he makes these three forces depend on each other, restrain each other, and restrain each other. In the end, they will only obey him. I!"

He Zhonghan's words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head.

Armed forces, intelligence agencies, and the lifeline of the economy are the three foundations for a ruler to stand on. Chiang Kai-shek is like this, and so is Jiang Weiguo. In fact, Jiang Weiguo did not deliberately imitate Chiang Kai-shek, but he naturally took this route .

After five years of struggle, Jiang Weiguo has established his own direct lineage, and the core organization is exactly the same as his old man, and it is always the same, and it is also those three things.

As long as those three things remain the same, no matter how the other things change or merge, the "Ning faction" will still be an independent faction.

The Nanjing Army is the armed force of Jiang Weiguo's direct line. This army is not only the elite of the Chinese army, but also the essence of the Chinese army. In addition, although the Nanjing Army is a part of the Chinese Army (Chinese Army) in name, it is actually in the Semi-independent or nearly completely independent, self-contained, absolutely obeying Jiang Weiguo (certainly obeying Chiang Kai-shek, after all, Chiang Kai-shek is the supreme commander, but if Chiang Kai-shek and Jiang Weiguo give different orders to the Nanjing Army, who will the Nanjing Army listen to? Yes, the problem is very subtle, but Jiang Weiguo will basically not give orders to the Nanjing Army that violate Chiang Kai-shek’s will, such stupid things are impossible for him to do), and the Chinese Navy and the Chinese Air Force are also under the orders of Jiang Weiguo In addition to the navy, air force and Nanjing Army, the armed forces under Jiang Weiguo's orders include most of the country's armed police forces, most of the gendarmerie forces, and a large part of the reserve forces (militia), so Jiang Weiguo has his own, independent , an extremely powerful armed force; the same is true for intelligence agencies. The Maritime Statistics Bureau established by Jiang Weiguo a long time ago has developed to a very large scale at this time. It has nothing to do with the Military Statistics Bureau and the Central Statistics Bureau. Jiang Weiguo's; As for finances, Jiang Weiguo still has his own, semi-independent or almost completely independent, extremely strong economic lifeline.

Five years ago, Jiang Weiguo was extremely poor. In order to make money, he used all kinds of heresy, unscrupulous, even starving or outrageous means. Now, Jiang Weiguo is "rich and rich".

Jiang Weiguo doesn’t have much personal savings, he is a lieutenant general in the army, and he receives 200 French coins a month as a military salary (all Liu Wugou collected for him, because Liu Wugou is his fiancée and secretary, after receiving it on behalf of him, he will naturally “represent him” “kept in safekeeping”), his personal account is full of deposits and is only a few thousand yuan in deposits, but the funds in his hands and used for national construction are an astonishing number, all of which he “earned” ", I didn't want to come with Chiang Kai-shek. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek probably doesn't have as much money as him.

Jiang Weiguo is very rich now, and there are five main sources of income for him:

The first one is also the one with the quickest way to get money. Jiang Weiguo’s army plundered, looted, and searched other countries abroad, and used bayonets to bring back huge wealth. Dozens of tons of gold, tens of thousands of carats of diamonds, hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, and other forms of property exceeding one billion dollars were seized from the local area;

The second is the money earned legally in the country.

At present, China's domestic economy is booming, and all walks of life are thriving and prosperous. Jiang Weiguo founded a series of large enterprises a long time ago, such as Eastern Airlines, China National Petroleum Corporation, China Energy Corporation (coal and natural gas), China Electric Power Corporation, China Iron and Steel Corporation, China Metallurgical Corporation, Bristle Corporation, Tungsten Sand Corporation, Tung Oil Corporation, China National Automobile Corporation (produces Zhongzheng and Meiling automobiles), China Jianghe Shipping Corporation, China Ocean Shipping Group Corporation, China National Pharmaceutical Corporation, China Bicycle Corporation (production of Volkswagen brand bicycles), China National Chemical Corporation, China Rubber Corporation, China Gold Corporation, etc., because these large enterprises were established very early, they seized the market first. In addition, the big boss behind the scenes is Jiang Weiguo, who can be said to have the right time, place, people and advantages. Up to now, all of them are giants in China's business world, China's economic system, and China's financial field. Earning a lot of money and making money every day naturally brought huge profits to Jiang Weiguo. In addition to serving as his cash cow, these enterprises have greatly promoted China's economic development, industrialization progress, and infrastructure construction on the one hand. Domestic demand, benefiting the people's livelihood, etc. On the other hand, it also allows him to firmly control China's current key industries such as mining, metallurgy, steelmaking, heavy industry, chemical industry, electrical, transportation, and medicine (Jiang Weiguo's move is actually in the name of the country. Monopoly management of important industries), such as oil mining in the Middle East, gold and diamond mining in South Africa, these fat shortages must be given priority to Jiang Weiguo's enterprises;

The third is money earned legally abroad.

When Jiang Weiguo started his struggle, China and Germany had already carried out extensive trade. This trade was gradually taken over by Jiang Weiguo (through the overseas department), and then doubled by Jiang Weiguo. At present, China and Germany, Japan, Italy , France and other friendly or neutral countries, as well as many of China's vassal countries, have more and more frequent and larger-scale trade, especially Germany and Japan. At present, they are fighting with the United States and Britain, and the war consumption is extremely huge. Germany and Japan urgently need China's Industrial raw materials, natural resources, and certain types of munitions, China seems to act as a logistics base for Germany and Japan. Although Germany, China and Japan belong to the same camp, China will definitely charge money for selling things to Germany and Japan, but it will be more expensive than the international market. The price is cheaper (it will be much cheaper when sold to the Germans, and it would be good if the price is not increased when sold to the Japanese, especially oil), such a huge cross-border trade is naturally a huge opportunity to make a fortune, Jiang Weiguo must be the first to go, In the trade between China and Germany, China and Japan, China and China's many slave countries, it is conservatively estimated that at least more than half of the profits have been collected by Jiang Weiguo;

Fourth, the Jewish "offering" to Jiang Weiguo (life-saving money, road money, protection fees, land rental fees, dividends, etc.).

There is no need to say much about this source of income. Apart from being Jiang Weiguo’s friends, the Jews are also his cash machine and talent transfer base;

Fifth, drug production and drug trafficking.

This was Jiang Weiguo's biggest source of income in the past, but now it has begun to shrink. Firstly, many "markets" that used to sell drugs are now China's new territory, China's vassal state, and the territory of friendly countries. It is certain that they cannot continue to sell drugs. Second, Jiang Weiguo now has other, aboveboard, and more lucrative sources of income, and this shady and criminal source of income must be closed and laundered.

Even so, Jiang Weiguo, who has already controlled more than [-]% of the world's drug production, is still relying on this source of wealth to obtain a steady stream of wealth. The huge profits make him a little bit reluctant to launch a comprehensive drug ban;

In addition to the above five major sources of income, Jiang Weiguo also has several secondary sources of income, such as Chiang Kai-shek's appropriation.

Chiang Kai-shek's money is the treasury's money, and the treasury's money comes from taxation. China's economy is in good shape now, and the treasury is naturally more abundant than before. Chiang Kai-shek's money is not as tight as before. Chiang Weiguo spends money for the country. Money, when the money is really not enough, he will definitely ask Chiang Kai-shek for it. As long as the reason is reasonable, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely give it to him; If you give it to him, he will refuse it. He knows that the money of the overseas Chinese is also exchanged with blood and sweat, and it is not easy. In the past, when they were poor, they could accept their donations for emergency relief. Now that they are not poor, they must not reach out to them anymore. , we must understand their difficulties, and we can't always ask them for money. Jiang Weiguo doesn't want to do such disgusting things as "forced donations". On the contrary, he has to try his best to compensate and repay the overseas Chinese; With Hitler's aid, there is not much now, because China is no longer weak and has the ability to stand on its own. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. China can already "fish", and Germany naturally does not need to give China any more. The "fish" was given away. After all, Hitler did not have Roosevelt's rich capital after all, and he had given China enough, so he could no longer be forced.

Just like the famous saying of later generations, although money is not omnipotent, money is the closest thing to omnipotence in the world, and without money, nothing is impossible.

With basically enough banknotes, Jiang Weiguo was able to put his ideas into action boldly and resolutely.

Jiang Weiguo made money very quickly, but also spent it very quickly, because there were too many places where he needed to spend money. In order to make money, he even went to scam Roosevelt. In his own words, "If my current money If it is used for drinking and drinking, it will not be spent in ten lifetimes, and it can burn money to keep warm in winter, but if it is used for national construction, damn it, it is still stretched and cannot make ends meet!"
