Chapter 57: Blood Drawing
"Dr. He, I'm going to go to the United States in the near future, and the German side can only be handed over to you first." Zhuo Fei's first sentence made He Fengshan almost jump on the spot. The Germans agreed that the Jews would leave Austria or even Germany, that was to see Zhuo Fei's face, although he was the consul general of the Republic of China in Vienna, but in the final analysis, he could not get the recognition and support of the German government, Zhuo Fei was going to the United States at this time, and he would definitely not be able to play with the Germans.
Xu saw He Fengshan's concern, and Zhuo Fei smiled, "Dr. He, you don't have to worry, Vivian and Huffman will continue to stay in Germany to assist you." Vivien has German ancestry, and the German top brass should not thwart our plans, you just need to distribute visas to Jews who are willing to leave Germany, and you don't need to worry about other things. Zhuo Fei's explanation did not make the doubts in He Fengshan's heart disappear, but made He Fengshan more and more confused and worried.
"Vivien and Huffman are only civilians in the end, and we need an official identity in this matter, and you, the Consul General of Vienna, are the best choice. Besides, Jews are now only willing to believe your visas, and I heard that the consulate in Berlin is also distributing visas to Jews, but few people go to them to get visas, so you have to show your banner. Zhuo Fei spread his hands at He Fengshan and put on a posture that he couldn't do anything except you, which made He Fengshan quiet.
"I have secretly enlisted the support of Hitler and the Krupp family, and on the next shipment to the country, there will be a shipment of heavy munitions. The exact timing of the shipment of the heavy munitions has not yet been decided, and I will probably leave Germany after sending them off, and I promise that I will be back here before the end of the month. He Fengshan's face was a little better, Zhuo Fei said that he would come back to Germany at the end of the month, and after careful calculation, it seemed that there were only ten days left until the end of the month.
Zhuo Fei and He Fengshan chatted for a long time, but what the two talked about was nothing more than how to speed up the speed of distributing visas to Jews, He Fengshan already had one leg on Zhuo Fei's thief ship at the moment, but Zhuo Fei didn't fully believe in the other party, so there were some things, Zhuo Fei still planned to continue to hide them from He Fengshan. After staying in Berlin for two days, after Zhuo Fei and Gustav had another secret meeting to finalize the trading time, Zhuo Fei returned to Budalemerhaven with his guards.
"Boss, the number has been determined, the Americans have brought 23 boats this time, and after we have discussed and confirmed with the Jewish Self-Control Association, 12,000 people will be sent away this time." The director of the management committee of the containment site appointed by Zhuo Fei is a middle-aged man of French descent, this Frenchman named Ayton was the manager of a factory in France before he lost his job, and he has a lot of experience in daily management, so Zhuo Fei appointed him as the director of the management committee of the containment site.
"Well done, if I have a batch of equipment that I have to take away by ship this time, will it affect the number of people leaving the port?" Taking the document handed by Ayton and reading it hastily, Zhuo Fei asked a question. The latter paused for a moment, then took out a record book and looked at it, and after taking over the calculations, Ayton gave an answer that Zhuo Fei did not want to hear. If Zhuo Fei wants to add equipment to the ship, the number of people boarding the ship will inevitably be reduced, otherwise it will be very troublesome and even dangerous when the ship sails on the sea and encounters wind and waves.
"Forget it, that's what I'm saying, the number of people boarding the ship doesn't need to be adjusted. There are more and more people in the containment site, so you need to get them out as soon as possible, so you can get busy first. Zhuo Fei had already read the document that Ayton had brought, and knew that the ship had already set aside the location and tonnage for loading munitions, if it weren't for that, even at the risk of the ship being in danger on the sea, Zhuo Fei would have forcibly ordered Ayton to readjust the ship's cargo capacity.
"Damn, if only there were more ships." Evan who had arrived in China in advance had sent a lot of telegrams to Budalemhaven these days, some of which were related to the settlement of Jews, and some of which were related to the civil war. I don't know if it's because the Japanese had insight into Zhuo Fei's earth-shattering plan, in recent days, in the telegrams sent by Evan, it was repeatedly mentioned that the Japanese army occupying south-central China seemed to have continued to move south.
According to the arrangement of the Japanese army in the central and southern parts of the country at the moment, if they continue to wave their troops southward, it will inevitably cause a threatening situation to Guangzhou, and Zhuo Fei does not think that the troops stationed by the Nationalist Government on the front line in Guangzhou can stop the Japanese army's southward offensive. Angela led five ships to Yangon Port, that is because Angela brought to China most of the construction machinery engineers or technicians, their mission in Yangon landing in Yangon is to use the factory machinery that arrived with the ship to widen the Yunnan-Burma kilometer and eliminate hidden dangers, so that the materials transported to Yangon by overseas Chinese in Nanyang can be quickly sent to China.
Zhuo Fei didn't want to put all the eggs together, and Burma took a large part of his plan, but before Germany really showed its fangs in Europe, Zhuo Fei had to and could only transport the weapons needed by the Nationalist government back to China through the port of Guangzhou. The promise of 100,000 Mauser rifles, only 15,000 have been shipped back to China so far, and when he met He Fengshan in Berlin, although He Fengshan did not say it, Zhuo Fei knew that He Fengshan must have received a telegram urging arms from China.
Zhuo Fei now has Hitler's acquiescence and the support of the Krupp family, and Germany has a large number of Mauser rifles that have been replaced by the Wehrmacht, but Zhuo Fei is restricted in transportation. "Damn" Zhuo Fei suddenly scolded to himself, and when Zhuo Fei was upset, he suddenly became irritated by the overcrowding in the containment site. If it weren't for the fact that those ships still had to transport Jews, maybe he would be able to transport all the prepared arms back to China in just one time, but Zhuo Fei laughed softly in the blink of an eye, without these Jews, his plan might not work at all.
Zhuo Fei's heart is now extremely conflicted, on the one hand, he is happy that he can quietly send arms to China in the name of saving the Jews. But on the other hand, Zhuo Fei hated the Jews too much, and if it weren't for the fact that so many Jews gathered in Braemehaven, maybe those arms would have been shipped back to China. But this is not the case, if there were no Jews, Zhuo Fei would not have been able to deceive Hitler with this excuse, and there would be no existence of this batch of arms.
Tossing and turning all night, Zhuo Fei's spirit was not very good the next day, but the knots in his heart had been unraveled, and the plan had been awakened to this point, so he simply continued like this, because the support of the Jews for the whole plan was also particularly important. A second shipment of 20,000 Mauser rifles was loaded with a large quantity of ammunition, and as on the previous occasion, the Jews who left Budale Mehaven had their boarding plates in advance, and 12,000 Jews left the shelter and went to the docks under the guidance and escort of hundreds of Jewish militiamen.
As the nominal organizer of the containment site, and the lubricant between the Jews and the local SS, it was impossible for Zhuo Fei to be absent from such a major event as the arrival of a large number of Jews on board the ship and leave the port. Zhuo Fei rushed to the local SS headquarters early in the morning, and after a brief but warm meeting with the commander, Zhuo Fei was allowed to leave the 12,000 Jews in the camp. Zhuo Fei paid a large sum of money again to get this permission, but the greedy SS commander didn't know that all the dollars he got were the products of the Containment Printing House.
This was not the first time Zhuo Fei had done this with counterfeit money to pay bribes to the local SS soldiers, and after the printing house had printed the dollars, Zhuo Fei secretly ordered Ayton to use the dollars to bribe SS soldiers and officers who entered the containment site during the daily SS inspections. It turned out that it was not only the craftsmen in the printing house who could not distinguish the authenticity of the dollars, but also the SS soldiers who frequently came to the shelter to fight the autumn wind.
As more and more Jews were in the camp, Zhuo Fei needed more and more money, and while Zhuo Fei struggled to maintain the camp, he also took out a certain percentage of the money to purchase the machinery and equipment needed. Zhuo Fei, who was increasingly stretched thin, had to start the counterfeit banknote plan in advance, but Hitler did not know that Zhuo Fei had been able to successfully print qualified counterfeit banknotes here, and he would not know that a large number of counterfeit Deutsche Mark banknotes were quietly flowing into the market.
Zhuo Fei's grand plan has a medical term - blood drawing, as the name suggests, the blood drawing plan is to use all means as much as possible to extract everything needed in Europe from Europe, and the counterfeit money plan is only a part of the entire blood drawing plan. Zhuo Fei originally thought that printing counterfeit banknotes would be an extremely time-consuming and money-consuming thing, and perhaps he would not have seen counterfeit banknotes successfully printed before Hitler launched a war against Europe. But what he never imagined was that with the full support of those Jewish craftsmen, the work of printing counterfeit banknotes would become so simple and smooth.
All the workers together did not have more than 200 people in the printing house, and in just one week they could print more than 4 million pounds, 3 million German marks, 2.4 million francs and 4.5 million dollars, and these counterfeit banknotes had already gone through the aging process and were ready to be taken out and circulated on the market. Zhuo Fei estimated that by the end of 39 years, this small printing house would be able to print at least more than $1 billion worth of counterfeit banknotes for itself.
$1 billion, for Zhuo Fei, this means the funds to start the entire program. With this money and the necessary channels, Zhuo Fei can go all over the world to buy the equipment and materials he needs. But there is a time limit for this acquisition, which must be completed before the end of 39 years, and Zhuo Fei doesn't care about the consequences of these counterfeit coins entering the market, he just wants to use these counterfeit coins to draw blood from Europe and send a steady stream of blood transfusions to China.
