I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"You guys, you are really brainless! Think about it carefully, how much profit can we generate in a year when our factory and plantation are officially put into operation? How much tax can it increase for your government? How much local employment can it bring? How much economic development is there in your area? Don’t you want to make a fortune? This is called attracting investment! How dare you deliberately make things difficult for us? I have no experience!”

"Mr. Bai, why do you have to say such things? We are actually very clear that although your factories and plantations can indeed bring us some benefits after they are put into production, most of the profits still go into your pockets.

You use our land to build factories and plantations, use our local cash crops as raw materials, and use our local people as workers. You get a lot of profit, but the cost of investment is very small. It is this ten thousand mu of land, you You only pay very little rent, and you are robbing us!"

"What? How dare you say such a thing? Believe it or not, I will say hello to your superior, and you will get out!"

"Mr. Bai, when the French left and you came, your General Jiang Weiguo once made a solemn promise to our government that China and Vietnam are one family, China will help the Vietnamese people live a prosperous life, and the Chinese will not oppress the Vietnamese, but you What he did was contrary to General Jiang Weiguo's promise.

Just around here, you have opened a processing factory specializing in the production of Vietnamese coffee. We learned that the Vietnamese workers in that factory are treated poorly. The wages are only one third of the Chinese workers, but the labor volume is much more than Chinese workers, Chinese workers work eight hours a day, but Vietnamese workers work twelve hours a day. Not only that, Vietnamese workers are also very different from Chinese workers in terms of food, accommodation, medical care, safety, etc. Chinese workers have one meal a day Meat, Vietnamese workers only have a bowl of broth a week, Chinese workers can have four days off a month, but Vietnamese workers don’t have any holidays, and five days’ wages will be deducted for one day off. Also, when you hire Vietnamese workers, the contracts are all It was only written in Chinese, which caused the Vietnamese workers to sign without understanding. However, the terms of the contract were very strict. For example, they were not allowed to resign within three months, otherwise they would not get any salary, and they would not be paid until the fourth month. The first month's salary is paid, and the first three months' salary is used as a deposit, which is simply fraud..."

"Have you finished?" The businessman surnamed Bai looked at the leading Vietnamese official with a gloomy face.

The Vietnamese officials kept silent and looked angrily at the businessman surnamed Bai.

The businessman surnamed Bai stepped forward and looked at the Vietnamese officials with a sneer: "Listen to me, you Vietnamese monkeys, Jiang Weiguo's promise is Jiang Weiguo's business and has nothing to do with us. China is not what Jiang Weiguo decides.

You know this factory, this plantation, and the coffee processing factory you just mentioned, as well as cotton, silk, tea, textiles, aquatic products, wood products, timber, medicinal materials, and most other industries in Vietnam’s light industry. By the way , and the newly established Vietnam Bank of Communications, who is running it?Let me tell you, it's Mr. Kong.

Who is Mr. Kong Dagong?He is the nephew of Chairman Jiang, his father is Minister Kong, and his mother is the eldest sister of Chairman Jiang's wife.

You Vietnamese, don't think that there is only one second son of Chiang Kai-shek in China.

Young Master Kong even wants to give up three points to Jiang Weiguo, but he is someone you can't afford to offend even if you have ten heads, understand?Okay, I'm done talking, within three days, solve all those troubles for me, I have time to dawdle with you, Mr. Kong has no time to waste on you!"

After finishing speaking, a group of Chinese businessmen flung their sleeves away one after another, leaving a sentence of "I don't know what to do", and the Vietnamese officials who were left in place all looked angry.

North Vietnam, Red River Estuary.

A passenger ship slowly sailed away from Haiphong, the largest port in northern Vietnam, sailing all the way east, and then passed through the Qiongzhou Strait, then gradually went north along the coastline of China, and finally arrived at its destination—the largest city in the Far East and the financial center of the Far East. Core Shanghai.

The boat was full of singing and dancing, because most of the passengers were young women in their prime of life and graceful manners. They were all very excited, pointing to the land and the sea and talking non-stop. Obviously, they were all taking a ship for the first time, so deeply It was novel and interesting, and they all looked excited, with longing on their faces.

On the highest point of the superstructure of the hull, two men leaned on the railing, and while admiring the colorful picture below, they talked with enthusiasm:

"How many 'goods' are there in this batch?"

"One thousand five hundred and twenty eight, the oldest is 520 years old, and the youngest is 28 years old!"

"Yes, these Vietnamese girls seem to be 'high quality'!"

"Of course, we have carefully selected them. If the quality is not good, how can we sell them at a good price?"

"Second Young Master Jiang opened up territories and conquered so many places like Vietnam, which also created countless business opportunities for us! You see, these Vietnamese girls are all tender and juicy, and they are all sought after after we send them to the mainland. Goods! Wealthy families buy a few maids who serve their wives during the day and sleep with their masters at night. The brothels are also in urgent need of these fresh goods. Many customers are tired of playing with foreign girls and want to change their taste! In the domestic market , The price of Vietnamese girls is more than three times that of local girls. In fact, it is the same when the lights are turned off, but those prostitutes are just looking for a novelty! The second son of Jiang held a "Women who Wronged Their Struggles to Be Good" activity at the beginning of the year, so stupid Lajidi spent a large sum of money to redeem a large number of involuntary prostitutes from brothels, and taught them crafts and skills, and taught them to read and write, saying that they wanted to be a new person and live a new life. Every brothel is seriously 'out of stock', tsk tsk, he just provided us with business opportunities, a Vietnamese girl can make us at least [-] yuan!"

"However, if you want to do this business for a long time, you have to learn the lessons from the previous few times.

Many Vietnamese girls escaped or even committed suicide after they found out that they were cheated.

It's nothing to die, just tell their family in Vietnam that they had an accident in China, and send back the ashes and four to five hundred French currency at the same time, but if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome.

Even if this business is run by Mr. Kong, if it is found out by the outside world, especially by Jiang Weiguo, it will really be difficult to end. As we all know, Jiang Weiguo is the most nosy and he is ruthless!"

"nothing.

These Vietnamese girls basically come from the rural areas of Vietnam, and their families are extremely poor. They sell meat in China, and even if most of the harvest is taken away by the bustard, they can still earn more than 200 yuan in French currency every month, and one hundred yuan is enough to send home. This made their family members very happy. Their family members unswervingly support them to continue to 'work' in China. When they quit and return to their hometown with their savings, will they tell their real experiences in China?Do you still want to find an honest man to marry? "

"Haha, yes.

do you know?Mr. Kong Dagong is actively investing in the entertainment industry, introducing the little Japanese style into the country. The kiln is not called a kiln, but a nightclub. He plans to start a large chain of nightclubs in Shanghai, Wuhan, Hong Kong, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an And other big cities have established large nightclubs with one-stop service to monopolize the national market.

At that time, these Vietnamese girls, as well as Thai girls, Burmese girls, and Nanyang girls will be in short supply!We will all follow Master Kong to make a fortune! "

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Kong is worthy of being Minister Kong's son, he just has business acumen!"

While the two were talking, a patrol boat of the Chinese Navy sailed over the sea directly in front of the passenger ship, and the patrol boat sent a signal to the passenger ship to "stop for inspection".

The passenger ship quickly slowed down, and the patrol boat quickly approached. Several naval soldiers boarded the passenger ship and looked at the Vietnamese women on board in surprise: "Why are there so many women on your ship?"

"Sir, they are all Vietnamese female workers who have signed up to go to work in our country!" The person in charge of the passenger ship greeted him with a smile on his face, and took out a stack of thick documents. "This is the relevant procedure and certificate, absolutely legal!"

The leading soldier took the document and flipped through it: "Yangtze Company? Does your ship belong to Yangtze Company?"

"Yes, the general manager of our company is Kong Lingkan, the eldest cousin of General Jiang Weiguo!"

After checking, the soldier confirmed that the formalities were complete and the documents were correct. He nodded, stepped off the passenger ship, returned to the patrol boat and left.

In the north of Myanmar, Mandalay is the concentrated origin of Myanmar jadeite.

In a Burmese jadeite mining area in the suburbs, thousands of Burmese workers are sweating profusely at work. Beside them, groups of supervisors are holding whips and sticks, supervising the scene ferociously.

Two stout men who looked like supervisors got together, lit a cigarette and chatted in Chinese:

"How is it? Did you solve the problem last time?"

"That's a big deal? Why don't we just kill a lazy Burmese guy? It's a big deal! Just put a few hundred dollars in his family! Even if his family calls the police, how dare those Burmese police take care of us? What a joke! Burmese people Dare to offend us Chinese? And who is our backer? Mr. Kong Dagong! Even if the disturbance is in China, the chairman will punish his nephew? Don't worry!"

"Well, it seems that I have to be more ruthless! A few days ago, more than 100 Burmese workers jointly petitioned for an increase in wages, and they turned against them! These Burmese people are just dishonest!"

In a building near the mining area, a fat and white Chinese businessman was having a meeting with a dozen Burmese businessmen.

The Chinese businessman smiled but looked sullen: "How is it? Have you considered everything? Have you read the contract? Don't hesitate, sign it quickly! Let's make a fortune together, okay? After signing the contract, you and us will be the same. The whole family belonged to Seven Star Company, and they all belonged to Mr. Kong Dagong.

We will give you [-]% of the profits, which is more than enough. You know, we will greatly expand the market for Burmese jade and guarantee that you will earn more than before.

Alright, I've reached the point where I've said, you don't want to toast or eat fine wine! "

Following the last words of the Chinese businessman, dozens of strong men with big arms, round waists and murderous looks walked into the venue, blocked the door, and looked at the Burmese businessmen at the scene viciously.

In the fear of silence and daring to speak out, the Burmese businessmen were forced to sign the contract in front of them.

After the Burmese businessmen left, the Chinese businessman put away the contract with satisfaction and proudly said to another Chinese businessman beside him: "In this way, most of Myanmar's jade industry is under the control of our Qixing Company.

Burmese jadeite is a good thing. Ninety-five percent of the jadeite in the market is produced in Myanmar, and the quality and output of Burmese jadeite are unmatched by other places. In this way, we will definitely make a lot of money in the future.

Gold jade, gold jade, hehehe, gold is monopolized by Jiang Weiguo, and jade is controlled by Mr. Kong.

When we import Burmese jadeite into the domestic market in large quantities, tsk tsk, it will be a profitable business! "

"Speaking of which, I really want to thank Second Young Master Jiang! If he hadn't won Burma, where would we have a chance to make a fortune!"

"Well, didn't you notice? Second Young Master Jiang is only interested in heavy industries such as gold, steel, coal, oil, and rubber. He is not interested in light industries and jade!"

"Even though the Second Young Master Jiang and the First Young Master Kong are at odds, they are a family after all! Second Young Master Jiang can't only allow himself to make a fortune but not let others get a share of it, can he? Cutting off a person's fortune is equal to killing his parents! This principle, Jiang Second Young Master is naturally very clear!"

The Yalu River, the boundary river between China and Japan-occupied Korea, and Andong (Dandong) on ​​the north bank of the river.

At the door of an inconspicuous tavern in the city, a tall but thin and pale middle-aged man walked in nervously and evasively. In the innermost small private room of the tavern, there were already two men in the room. Waiting for him.

"What do I want?" The middle-aged man asked impatiently after sitting down.

"What do we want?" One of the two men sitting across from the middle-aged man asked calmly.

The middle-aged man took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it over.

The other of the two men on the opposite side took it, flipped through it, and showed a displeased expression: "The value of these information is not high, we need high-value information, understand?"

"I'm just a lieutenant colonel and deputy head of the regiment. What you're asking about is division-level and military-level information! There are many other military secrets! How could I get that!"

"That's a pity, we can't give you what you want!"

"Don't...I will...I will do my best, please allow a little time, please...I beg you..."

"Why bother? The addiction to heroin is fundamentally beyond the control of human beings. Even if the will is as hard as steel, it will be completely crushed by heroin.

Lieutenant Colonel, the taste of drug addiction is very uncomfortable, right?Then you are not serious about doing things for us? "

"You are so ruthless and poisonous...you deliberately made me addicted to drugs..."

"Yes, but so what? Do you still have a way out now? Apart from cooperating with us and continuing to cooperate in depth, do you have other options? Surrender yourself? Then, first, you will lose your reputation and lose your reputation from a respected person. The deputy head of the Nanjing Army Lieutenant Colonel has become a scum that everyone despises. The army will fire you, the society will spurn you, and your family will abandon you. There will be no place for you. Your life is completely over; The officer will not provide you with heroin on a regular basis like us, you will be sent to compulsory detoxification, and you will live in hell every day and night in the pain of death. You know better than us the pain of ants eating bones!"

"Don't...don't...let me go..."

"Hehe, speaking of it, heroin is the exclusive product of your Second Young Master Jiang.

69 years ago, the British extracted heroin for the first time. 46 years ago, the Germans made heroin into a drug and promoted it to the world. But soon, the true face of this thing was exposed. The most violent, most terrifying, and most dangerous drug ever, heroin was officially identified as a drug at an international conference 31 years ago, and its manufacture, transportation, and sale were all banned globally.

However, in the past few years, heroin has been rampant in many parts of the world. Countless people have been impoverished and even their families have been destroyed. The culprit is your Second Young Master Jiang. He is really a living ghost. He transports and sells heroin, so that more than [-]% of the heroin in the world now comes from him.

You do not know?The heroin we provided you was actually bought from his subordinates! "

The man who spoke handed a small bag of white powder to the middle-aged man. After the middle-aged man saw the small bag of heroin, his face was almost distorted and split, and he saw fear, hatred, anger, and lust like a poisonous snake. The greed, longing, and eagerness that he saw when he saw a naked beauty, the latter emotion quickly overwhelmed the former, and he almost jumped up, grabbing things in his hands impatiently, just like grabbing the last thing in his life. precious things.

"Within ten days, help us choose an officer with a higher rank than you who is suitable for being dragged into the water, and then help us drag him into the water.

Remember, if you can't do this well, we won't give you this thing anymore, you can fend for yourself! "The man who handed over the heroin ordered coldly, then got up and left with his companions.

Chapter 685 The storm continues (5)

The great musician, Beethoven, honored as the "Sage of Music" and "King of Symphony", at the peak of his music creation career, integrated his broad and profound thoughts, infinite love and hope for all human beings into a piece that resounds through the sky. , In the carol of the music that shocks the past and the present, this piece of music is majestic and magnificent, and those who are lucky enough to hear this piece of music chorus all burst into tears:

"...Goddess of Joy is holy and beautiful, shining brightly on the earth. We are full of enthusiasm in our hearts and come to your temple. Your power can make people eliminate all differences. Under your radiance, all people are brothers in the world!

…Hundreds of millions of people unite!Everyone loves each other!Friends, in that sky, the loving God is looking at us, hundreds of millions of people worship the loving God devoutly, ah, look for him across the starry sky, God is in the sky! ..."

Beethoven's immortal movement was composed in the 20s. As of the 40s, about 120 years have passed, but Beethoven's good wishes did not become reality. On the contrary, The world has no shadow of "all brothers in the world" and "everyone loves each other". Instead, it is full of killings, violence, bloody storms, intrigues, death, madness, mourning, fear, and darkness. All kinds of people of different races and nationalities are killing each other endlessly, which makes the earth fall into unprecedented chaos along with the human world.

Beethoven's good wish is just like the utopia pursued by countless thinkers, writers and politicians, which is doomed to be nothing.

In the middle of Ireland, the war is raging and the corpses are everywhere.

Irish soldiers with German weapons, Irish militiamen, and the German troops who fought alongside them wearily entered a city full of rubble and scorched earth. This city, like the whole of Ireland, has repeatedly changed owners. Occupied by the German-Irish Army, and now it has been recovered by the German-Irish Allied Forces. The back and forth tug-of-war has completely turned the city into ruins.

There are shocking pools of blood everywhere in the ruins, and the corpses of Irish civilians, allied forces, and allied forces are intertwined in the blood pools. Groups of living Irish civilians are looking for the remains of their families for collection and burial amidst the crying. In the ruins, they carefully searched for food that could satisfy their hunger and items that could continue to be used. Teams of captured or surrendered allied troops walked towards the designated place with their heads held up in dejection. The allied troops guarding them had different expressions. The Germans provided them with food and medicine.

A German major general who commanded the battle was writing a report in a dilapidated house, and at the same time fell into thought: "Although our army has successfully recovered the city, according to intelligence, there are still large-scale Allied troops in the northern area. The army launched a counterattack, and the situation became serious.

Although we have the full support of the Irish here, our logistics materials need to be transported from the mainland of Germany. It was sent to the British battlefield, and the ordnance capital obtained in the Irish battlefield was not much. The logistics supplies my troops received were only one-third or even one-fourth of the normal standard. It’s going to be a struggle, the full support of the Irish is our biggest advantage here, but the lack of logistical supplies is our biggest disadvantage...” He was thinking while writing the report, when he suddenly heard a burst of mournful voices coming from outside. , English howling ghosts and wolves.

"What's going on?" The German major general was startled, and hurried out. The scene outside surprised him. He saw the officers and soldiers of the Russian Army stabbing the captured Allied officers and soldiers to death one by one with bayonets, laughing like ghosts. Many Allied officers and soldiers were even deliberately tortured and killed by the Patriotic Army. They were stabbed with bayonets by the Patriotic Army, bleeding like a fountain, and fell to the ground screaming and wailing.

"Why do you torture and kill prisoners? This is a violation of the international law of war and the Geneva Convention! It is even more a stain on the honor of soldiers!" The German major general strode forward furiously, and grabbed the commander of the beloved army with his eyes spitting fire. A Lieutenant Colonel of the Love Army.

"General, please calm down, it's not a big deal!" Lieutenant Colonel Ai Jun giggled, "This bastard deserves it!" He shook off the German Major General's hand and looked at the German Major General, "It seems that you Don't know the history of Ireland, if you have studied the history of Ireland seriously, you must understand us.

The Great Irish Famine alone, the British owe us 100 million lives (the Great Irish Famine, which broke out from 1845 to 1850, when Ireland had been conquered by the British and became a British colony, due to the comprehensive plunder of Ireland by the British, Moreover, the British authorities did not care about the life and death of the Irish. As a result, in those few years, Ireland suffered from food diseases and reduced production, and a large number of lands were annexed by the British. , countless dead, and a quarter of Ireland's population lost)!Ireland belongs to us Irish, but the British have always wanted to turn our country into their colony, and even occupied our Northern Ireland after our independence, they deserve it!As for those Americans and Canadians, they are the accomplices of the British. They want to help the British continue to enslave us. Since they set foot on our land, they will die here!We can give the Americans and Canadians a good time, but the Brits should die in pain! He pointed to the Allied officers and soldiers who were killed. Those who were stabbed to death by the Patriotic Army were American and Canadian prisoners, and those who were deliberately tortured by the Patriotic Army were British prisoners. "Actually, this is what we have to do. !” Lieutenant Colonel Aijun looked at the German Major General, “Our logistics is tight and supplies are insufficient. How can we waste our food and medicine for these bastards?My men killed them with bayonets, just to save bullets!"

The German major general looked at all this in disgust: "You are all crazy!" Then he turned and left.

On the island of Great Britain adjacent to the island of Ireland, the fighting was even more intense, cruel, and bloody, because this is the mainland of the United Kingdom, and England, Wales, and Scotland are all on the largest island in Europe.

The German army landed on the Cornwall Peninsula in the southwestern part of Great Britain and attacked all the way. It has occupied all of the Cornwall Peninsula and is approaching the city of Bristol. The city is the largest city in southwest England and one of the eight core cities in England. It is also the fifth largest city in the UK.

Around the city, the German and Allied forces launched the first real urban offensive and defensive battle in the British mainland.
