Chapter 252: Control

The Great War was approaching, and Hu Zhiyong was well aware of the world situation during this period. He spared no effort to send supplies and ammunition to the Nationalist Government, and exchanged tea, leather, animal hair, antimony, tin, zinc, tungsten, silk and so on from the south.

The Soviet Union, which had lost the opportunity to do business with China, looked south and was anxious and had nothing to do. Stalin sent Mikoyan to Phoenix to negotiate with Hu Zhiyong.

Anastas Mikoyan, 43, was a Soviet politician. During this period, he became an expert on trade issues in the Politburo, in charge of the procurement and transportation of military supplies.

China's economy was overshadowed by Hu Zhiyong, and he had to come here to seek cooperation. Hu Zhiyong greeted the shrewd trade expert, pointed to his factory and said, "I can sell you metal materials, but they must be settled in gold." You want cheap ore, I advise you not to be delusional! ”

Seeing the industry in Phoenix, he knew that his purpose was already difficult to achieve. The Nationalist Government had this broad boss to support supplies, ammunition and funds, and the Soviet Union had no benefit from it.

He came from the Northern Bureau, and Vice Chairman Zhou told him embarrassedly: "We can't call the shots about the economy of the Northern Bureau, all the factories here belong to the Hu family, and the railways are also built by him!" The industrial cities in Changchun and other places are operated by us, but everything produced can only sustain our use and consumption! ”

There was no hope of cheap ore, so he had to talk to Stalin and began to import large quantities of metal raw materials from Hong Kong. Hu Zhiyong took out the list of supplies that Stalin had sold to him: "The price is the same as the one you gave us at the beginning, if you agree, I will make a long-term deal with you!" ”

Mikoyan was surprised that Hu Zhiyong would rather suffer a loss than import so many supplies from the Soviet Union. Now, he responded to the USSR with this price, and he was very shocked.

Stalin was outraged, but he had nothing to say. The situation in Europe was tense, and no one dared to make a deal with the Soviet Union. Xianguo lacks resources and is controlled by the islanders. He can only choose to do business with Huaxia now, and this bitter fruit is caused by himself.

The economy of the Soviet Union was now very difficult, and there was a shortage of food, metallic materials, and other resources that needed to be imported. But Hu Zhiyong didn't want their banknotes, and would only do business with dollar bills and gold.

The United States also wants to extend its business to China, but they know that they can only rely on Hu Zhiyong to do business with China now. They took out diesel, which was slightly more expensive than the price of water, as well as a large number of crops and metal raw materials, and sold them to Hu Zhiyong, and in the blink of an eye, he sold them to all parts of the world with several times or dozens of times the profit.

Roosevelt was shrewd, he knew that the United States was a big producer, and if there was a massive squeeze on supplies, it would lead to another Great Depression. Therefore, seeing that Hu Zhiyong was profiting from it, he also had to catch this young man and not let go.

Of course, Roosevelt had Britain and France in mind, and for the sake of long-term interests, he persuaded Congress to agree to Lend-Lease British and French supplies. Although he did not get any cash, he finally solved the problem of surplus materials.

Hu Zhiyong was very depressed, and history once again proved Roosevelt's cleverness. In order to make his weapons be valued for export, he had to sign sales contracts with Germany and Italy, and secretly scolded in his heart: "When you suffer a loss, you will come back to Lao Tzu!" ”

Less than 30% of the materials in Southeast Asia have to be taken away by others. This is thanks to Hu Zhiyong's premeditated planning in advance for several years. Not only is Phoenix full of supplies, but Hong Kong and Ryukyu are also hoarded in large quantities to ensure that all food and materials will not be in short supply within ten years!

Wang Jingwei fled and embarked on the shameful road of betrayal from Vietnam. Hu Zhiyong thought calmly: "Historically, he would have formed a puppet government in Nanjing. Now that I have the ability to block, do I put a little pressure on the island nation? ”

"Young master, I suggest sending troops to Shanghai, as long as you take it, I believe that all the conspiracies of the little devils will not be realized!" Ma Xianden was in a hurry to play, and he was already feeling dull and boring.

"Don't panic, I'm going to wait for him to announce the Yandian that he threw himself into the enemy!" Hu Zhiyong knew that Ma Xiandeng was already in a hurry, and comforted him: "You will have something to do soon, take down the final project of the airport first!" ”

"Young master, Wang Jingwei will issue a telegram admitting his break with the Kuomintang?" Ma Xiandeng was surprised that the vice president of a party had taken refuge in an island country for the sake of authority.

"Yes!" Hu Zhiyong smiled: "I will not wait for him to establish a puppet government, let him lose everything himself, and finally die in seclusion!" ”

On December 18, 1938, Wang Jingwei, Zeng Zhongming, Zhou Fohai and others fled Chongqing. After arriving in Hanoi, Vietnam, he announced the surrender of the enemy "Yan Dian".

Hu Zhiyong issued a statement on the same day: "All traitors who defect to the Japanese army will surely be spurned by the people of China!" Warn the islanders to hand over all traitors, or they will be hit by us! ”

Listening to Tianhua's statement, the island nation inexplicably felt unprecedented fear. However, they must have a spokesperson for China in order to control most of the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, the cities of Shanghai and Nanjing, and a small part of the provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Shandong, and Henan.

Shanghai must be guaranteed to be in the hands of foolproof and indestructible. For this matter, Hu Zhiyong contacted the British and American ambassadors and told them: "The concession will cease to exist, and the British and American countries can do business in Shanghai, but their sovereignty will be recovered!" ”

The eastern and northern districts of the public concession had been occupied by the Japanese army, and when they heard that Hu Zhiyong was going to war with the Japanese army in Shanghai, Britain and the United States decided to give up their extraterritoriality and all concessions in China.

After consulting with them, Hu Zhiyong secretly sent blood wolves to secretly take over the Shanghai concession at the end of 1938. Immediately afterwards, Ma Xiandeng's two divisions were quietly transported by plane to the concession, and on the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they suddenly began to carry out a surprise attack on the Japanese theater.

"The blood wolf is responsible for the clear action of the Japanese theater, and Ma Xiandeng is responsible for laying down the dock and killing all the Japanese ships and warships!" The move was about to strike a thunderous blow, and while the Japanese army did not know the situation, the follow-up troops hurriedly took control of the Shanghai urban area.

The Japanese artillery and airfields were the first to be attacked, and then the navy was bombed by 300 fighters and bombers from the Ryukyus, and Ma Xiandeng soon occupied the important port.

All the materials and ordnance of the Japanese army here were captured, and the Japanese troops on the periphery did not dare to send troops when they saw the movement in the city. After Ma Xiandeng landed, the follow-up troops arrived completely.

Three armies and 200,000 male divisions occupied the whole of Shanghai in one day and one night! Ma Xiandeng, an expatriate in the Japanese concession, unceremoniously confiscated all his family property and informed the island country: "If you don't come to pick up these people within three days, you will be escorted to the mine to work as coolies!" ”

In hand-to-hand combat in Shanghai, the Japanese lost a division and several cruisers. More than 30,000 expatriates were expelled, causing them to lose a large amount of property. In particular, the Japanese-funded Yokohama Zhengjin Bank and the Japanese-funded Taiwan Bank were captured by blood wolves, tens of millions of yen were confiscated, and all kinds of foreign exchange, gold, and silver were transported away.

After emergency repairs to the airfield, fighter planes and bombers of a division were deployed, and a large number of transport planes were also used to distribute relief materials to residents in the concession area and downtown Shanghai.

Ma Xiandeng was thoroughly checking the remnants of the Japanese army, counting the population, and reissuing residents' documents. After the implementation of military control and the control of Shanghai, a notice was issued to the Nationalist Government: "Quickly send officials and tax collectors, and our department will assist the Nationalist Army in defending this place!" ”

The big city, which was heavily guarded by the Japanese army, changed its owner in two days. The American and British personally watched the actual combat of the massive airborne attack. They were amazed that a battle like this would be difficult to do in a month with their troops!

"Awesome, awesome!" The British ambassador Xu Gesen was speechless, as if he was interested in Tianhuaguo's helicopter.

"Air suppression, ground raids, shelling of warships, first of all, Japanese artillery fire, airfields are cleared. This method of warfare is not an ordinary battle, but a special battle, called special warfare! Yongxiang explained to the group of ambassadors and said happily: "We have more than a dozen divisions of airborne troops, and this time two divisions were dispatched. ”

For helicopters, none of these foreigners is not interested in it. They were surprised by the fact that they didn't need airfields, that they were flexible in sorties, that their artillery was advanced, and that they could deliver manpower, tanks, and supplies to the ground.

"Commander Ma, will this helicopter be sold?" The ambassador of the British army asked tentatively.

"Definitely!" Ma Xiandeng said with a smile: "If you want to use this weapon in actual combat, you can't do it without more than two divisions." Therefore, our minimum sales will be 300 aircraft, and there is no limit to the highest! ”

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the country, I think Congress will agree to buy this weapon!" Xu Gesen was overjoyed and hurried back to send a report to China.

Having lost Shanghai, the Japanese forces around Suzhou hurriedly retreated northward. In particular, the mouth of the Yangtze River was controlled by blood wolves, and the Japanese army felt threatened by Nanjing. Chiang Kai-shek's troops quickly occupied Wuhu and the area south of Wuxi, and joined Shanghai in a single area.

The island nation knew that it was the Wang Jingwei incident that stimulated Tianhua. They did not dare to pick up this shameful traitor, so they had to give up the idea of capturing Shanghai. Overseas Chinese were picked up, and from then on, Shanghai was no longer a place where the Japanese army was rampant!

Bai Chongxi soon came to Shanghai on behalf of the Nationalist Government, and Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen came with him. Ma Xianden told them: "Taxes and government formation are your business, and we will bear the garrison and defense." We will go eventually, but only when it is too peaceful! ”

"Okay, with you here, I believe that the little devils don't dare to fight for it easily!" Song Ziwen laughed: "Give me the yen, you don't need it!" ”

Ma Xiandeng nodded: "The money can be handed over to you, but the property of the Japanese army will not be handed over to you!" We lost a lot of fighters and also consumed a lot of ammunition. The public concession cannot be handed over to you yet, please understand! ”

"What a cunning Hu Sanshao!" Bai Chongxi joked: "To control the concession is to control the economy of Shanghai, and he wants to make a fortune here!" ”

Ma Xiandeng glared at him: "How many supplies have we supported the national army, are we in it for money?" Let's be clear, the situation in Shanghai is complicated, and we must completely rectify the order here! ”

Kong Xiangxi was surprised: "If you do this, you will face the gang organization in Shanghai!" ”

Ma Xiandeng snorted coldly: "We are not afraid of the little devil, how many people can he have in a green gang?" What I'm going to deal with is this kind of gang that plagues the people! ”

"It's hard, it's hard." Kong Xiangxi couldn't help but shake his head: "The Green Gang has a history of hundreds of years here, and it is difficult for you to eradicate it!" ”
