Chapter 1656: The Battle of Tianjin! (14)
How to open up the situation in Tianjin? Lu Shan himself only gave Wang Erxi and Lan Yuhu a goal or direction. How to do it specifically, he allowed these two groups of people to play freely.
Even though he learned some information about Tianjin, he had no actual investigation after all.
There must be differences between the content of the text and the actual situation, so Lu Shan has no rigid regulations on these two groups of people. They have to explore or decide what to do or what to start with.
Of course, Lu Shan doesn’t care about anything he does, but they still have to report what he decides to do and how he does it. At least he can give some guidance. After all, he has more historical experience for decades!
Of course, due to the lag in information transmission, some things can only be executed first and then reported, which is also the power given to them by Lu Shan!
If you don’t have this power and ability, and you will be drying after waiting for instructions and reporting, the daylily will be cold!
Lan Yuhu started with the Qing Gang, and Lu Shan gave advice, but from which aspect, the concession is still in China, the bottom or the middle level is what they have grasped.
After all, sometimes when luck comes, you can't stop it. Of course, starting from the grassroots level is the slowest, but it is only the most solid, and it is not easy to be suspected.
Lan Yuhu chose this safe path, which made Lu Shan more relieved about Lan Yuhu!
To be honest, Lan Yuhu dared to rob a reconnaissance plane from the heavily guarded airport of the Japanese army and flew back, and also brought the pilot's family back. This spirit of adventure was a little worried while appreciating it.
After all, undercover work is very dangerous, but you cannot be eager for quick success and instant benefits. Any risky behavior may lead to the exposure of your identity and even failure.
The direction Wang Erxi chose was a little surprised to Lu Shan. He asked him to find a way to get some good rice seeds, but he didn't expect that he would want to farm himself!
Farming is a big investment and small output, especially the current domestic and foreign grain prices are very sluggish.
On the one hand, the price of food is extremely low. The United States has too much food and nowhere to sell it. The whole world is looking for buyers. The grain is low and the farmers are hurt. However, many places in China lack food. There are many people who starve to death. It is not that the people who have too much food cannot eat, but that the people have no money to buy food at all. Coupled with political turmoil and war factors!
Although the price of food is very low, if the import is opened, the blow to agriculture will be extremely tragic!
Nowadays, ZF has no extra financial resources to supplement farmers, which forces a large number of farmers to give up growing grain or reduce the face of planting. The price of grain will drop, and the value of land will inevitably dip. At this time, land annexation will inevitably be a **!
In order to survive, farmers who own arable land are forced to sell land, and the land is transferred to the hands of landlords and capitalists!
Once the land is in the hands of a few people, it indicates the beginning of national turmoil, which is an objective law of history.
For a major agricultural country like China, land is the foundation of survival, so that farmers who occupy the vast majority of the population do not have land to cultivate. It is conceivable what these desperate people will do?
GMD loses because of this. In China, since ancient times, the changes of dynasties have been accomplished by the lowest-level farmers, or in other words, a group of people at the lower level have completed the feat of changing dynasties under the armed forces of advanced ideas!
In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu was just a small pavilion chief. According to his current level, he was a town mayor, an official of the size of a sesame.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was a real poor man. He was a monk and wanted to have a meal, and was a real proletariat.
Let’s not talk about the Tang and Song dynasties. Although the Tang Dynasty is known as the prosperous era, it would not be possible to achieve it without the early accumulation. Speaking of which, the accumulation of Han culture inheritance has reached a peak.
The Song Dynasty seemed relatively calm when the Song Dynasty changed, but once the Song Dynasty, the culture was prosperous, but it castrated the blood of the Han people!
The literati and elite govern the country, which is one characteristic, will destroy the bloody courage of the Chinese people.
Although warriors have the habit of being a militant man in governing the country, at least the country will never surrender when resisting foreign aggression!
If there are strong enemies outside, they need to lead the country to resist foreign aggression. If there are strong enemies outside, they need to replace them with gentle means to govern the country. The literati elites are still better than the warriors in managing the country.
Once a country chooses the wrong path, disasters are devastating!
Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has rapidly industrialized. In just a few decades, it has led to Japan's rapid rise and become an industrialized country, with both economy and technology occupies the first place in Asia.
However, Japan's agriculture is relatively slow to develop, and because Japan has a large population and a small land area, its grain output is not high, which is not enough for its own use, so it needs to be imported.
In addition, Japanese farmers are actually very difficult, perhaps not much worse than China. Therefore, gczy also has a considerable market in Japan. As the economic situation deteriorates, more and more people at the bottom are dissatisfied with the foreign expansion policies of those in power!
Foreign expansion will inevitably lead to domestic policies being tilted towards the military. If the military can keep winning and plunder a large amount of materials from other countries, it will naturally alleviate the contradiction of domestic resource tilt, but once it fails, it will trigger a chain reaction!
People die and spend money, but end up getting nothing. Social conflicts will inevitably accumulate and even erupt at a certain point!
Defeat will also cause political turmoil and huge diplomatic dilemma.
Japan is another island country. It looks very powerful, but its ability to resist risks is very poor. This is incomparable to China, which is rich in land and wealth, but has poor and backward!
Poverty and backwardness are only temporary. China cannot be poor and backward forever. Once it is given a chance to rise, the first thing that will be affected is the neighbor who once bullied him.
Japan is afraid that once China returns to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, will Japan still have a way out?
Japan has lived in this shadow for thousands of years. In the next thousand years, will Japan continue to live in this shadow?
Japan has great ambitions and tries to change the situation, but it also reveals their guilt and fear!
Japan wants to expand and immigrate, one is to alleviate domestic pressure, and the other is to alleviate many problems caused by the increase in population over the limited land area!
The proletarians in cities and farmers without land are a group of people in Japan who urgently need a way out. If these people are immigrated to China, it will not only increase control over the Chinese-occupied areas, but also divert the revolutionary pressure that emerges in the country!
Wang Erxi's identity is very credible to do this, and she can take this opportunity to participate in Japanese domestic politics and invade Japan!
The early goal is to use Lin Kutaro's identity to obtain information on Japan's economic aspects, and the long-term goal is to control Japan after the war.
Maybe the name Lin Kutaro may be recorded in the history of the Yamato nation.
Lu Shan thought a long time ago that China won the victory of the War of Resistance. There is no doubt about this, but after the war, the United States occupied Japan, and later it came up with so many things, which made the Chinese very frustrated and uncomfortable.
Even if the United States makes great efforts to force Japan to surrender, in order to restrain China, it is wrong to constantly encourage Japan to create friction and hinder our development!
The problem must be solved from the source. Japan belongs to Asia. Only Asian countries can solve the problem. Japan must be occupied by China!
Occupy Japan after the war. This is Lu Shan’s goal hidden in his heart. Although he had said it to the core circles such as Qin Shiyu, there were probably not many people who really took it seriously!
If Qin Shiyu and others knew that Lu Shan had arranged for Wang Erxi and Uesugi Ruoyun to go to Tianjin, he had already thought of the post-war affairs and was afraid that he would not know what to say.
"Taro, my family said that he agreed with our plan. Also, Lao Zhou may no longer serve as our offline!" Uesugi Ruoyun said.
"What's going on?"
"The family said that for our safety, those who contact our hometown must be replaced!" Uesugi Ruoyun said.
"But haven't you just received a lot of work from Lao Zhou?"
"Well, yes, but I won't change it right away. My family is looking for someone, maybe it's a Japanese!" Uesugi Ruoyun said.
"I understand. You should not be too diligent at Lao Zhou. Although no one doubts us now, you should still be more cautious!" Wang Erxi said.
"I understand. Now I'm going to do short stories, and I'll basically go there every three or four days." Uesugi Ruoyun said.
"The shops in front of us are all idle, so why not open a department store. This way you can have some income, which is worse than being empty?" Wang Erxi said.
"This is OK. Opening a department store is not very expensive. As long as there is sufficient supply, it's enough!" Uesugi Ruoyun said, "Aren't we going to start a trading company? Can we import it from abroad and then sell it in our store?"
"Well, yes, I have to buy land. This matter is probably going to fall on you." Wang Erxi said.
"I know, basically no one in Tianjin knows me. Besides, I have disappeared for more than half a year. Everyone thinks I am dead and my appearance has changed a little. Even if I am an acquaintance, I don't have to recognize me!" Uesugi Ruoyun said.
"That's good. I don't worry about anything else, I just worry about your identity being exposed!" Wang Erxi said.
"Don't worry, I'll pay attention!" Uesugi Ruoyun nodded.
It took him five days to get from Benxi to Harbin. He was almost unstoppable along the way, racing against time, otherwise it would be difficult to get there within five days.
"Report to Commander-in-Chief Lu, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Eastern Anti-Liaodong War Zone Command and Commander of the 9th Artillery Brigade of the Artillery, He Shili, came to report!"
"Brig Commander He is here, please sit down!"
"Please give me advice from Commander-in-Chief Lu!" He Shili said seriously.
"Why, are you emotional?"
"I dare not, soldiers take obeying orders as their duty!" He Shili said heavily.
"Haha, I knew that you were blaming me for transferring you back at the most critical moment of your artillery brigade training, right?" Lu Shan asked with a smile.
"no!"
"Brig Commander He, soldiers should not tell lies, especially when facing his superiors!" Lu Shan said seriously.
"Yes!" He Shili shouted.
“Are you emotional?”
"Yes, I can't figure out why I was asked to report to the headquarters at this time. Did I do something wrong?"
"Oh, I heard that Brigade Commander He is back, I'll take a look!" Ying Ruoyu walked in with a smile!
"I'm back, but I'm just feeling a little bit emotional!"
"Oh, Brigade Commander He, why is this?"
"Report to the Chief of Staff, I can't figure it out. I'll call me back to the headquarters at this time!" He Shili said loudly.
"Lao Lu, didn't you explain?"
"How can I explain it? Look at his face, what else can I explain?" Lu Shan said.
"Brig Commander He, there are actually important things to do when you recall you. You didn't deliberately transfer you out of the army, and this is only temporary. You, your happiness and anger are reflected on your face." Ying Ruoyu said.
He Shili showed a hint of shame when he heard this. He was indeed a little anxious. He didn't understand what was going on, so why couldn't he calm down at all?
"Okay, Brigade Commander He is anxious for training, which is also a good thing. We need to understand our mood!" Lu Shan said, "However, the tasks assigned below are also very important. Brigade Commander He, the headquarters decided to let you go home!"
"Go home?" He Shili was stunned. This really made him a little stunned.
"One of the time, let you go back to see your parents, wife and children. After all, you haven't been back for two years. My son is afraid that he won't know you, a father. Secondly, there are a batch of special machines and goods, and you have to bring them back intact. Thirdly, our troops lack heavy weapons. When you arrived at the Northeast Army, Sir He Dong of Lingzun once wrote a letter to Zhang Hanqing, willing to invest in helping the Northeast Army to purchase a batch of artillery and armored vehicles. I wonder if Lingzun still has this idea now, we can receive these weapons." Lu Shan said.
"Mr. Lu, this surprised me so much. I was simply unprepared!" He Shili stood there on the spot, not knowing how to react!
"Your family is very influential in Hong Kong. Our batch of machines is very important and there must be no mistakes. Therefore, it must be transported back safely and intact, as well as the goods accompanying you. Along the way, if you pass the checkpoints in the name of the He family, it will reduce a lot of trouble!" Lu Shan explained.
"Mr. Lu, can you tell me what machine it is?"
"Money printing machine!" Lu Shan and Ying Ruoyu looked at each other, and then said solemnly and slowly.
"Money printing machine!" He Shili was slightly surprised. This was not an ordinary goods, it was special equipment.
Although physical gold and silver are used as currency in China, it is a matter of time before paper money is used. Many countries have begun to abandon the gold standard and promote the paperization of currency.
"I understand!" He Shili came from a big business family and of course knew the importance of financial independence to a country.
It is no secret that Dong Kang is preparing to issue currency separately. He Shili himself also supports it. However, China cannot make money printing machines for printing currency and can only be imported. Moreover, the most advanced money printing machines will definitely not be easily exported. But even so, Dong Kang can get a printing machine overseas, so Dong Kang has a lot of energy overseas, which surprised He Shili!
