Chapter 23 Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party (4)
Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong's successive statements made the doubts in the audience disappear in an instant, and the leading bosses of the two parties have already agreed, and no matter how much they talk about these little minions, it will be useless. "Even if the first thing is decided, let's talk about the second thing, the proposal to establish a university association in the southwest. For the follow-up of the final plan, I hope that by the middle of next year, the two parties will be able to establish a joint university in the southwest region to train qualified grassroots officials for the follow-up plan. ”
"Only after assimilating the occupied territory, can we rest assured that we can boldly take it into our pockets, otherwise we can only be a flower in the moon mirror in the water. South Asian countries have always been colonies of European countries, and this war is an opportunity for us to expand abroad, with the help of the greed of the Japanese army and the outbreak of Europe, the Umbrella Company can at least raise more than 300,000 Jewish troops to move south. ”
According to Zhuo Fei's instructions, the guards in the venue hung up a large map, and several huge red circles were very conspicuous in the location of the South Asian countries below the map. "These are the countries of South Asia, and with these countries, China has more access to the sea. If we connect these countries and island chains, we will find that the entire South China Sea will become China's inland sea, and it will not be so easy for Westerners to contain China through the sea. ”
"Our goal is to occupy these places in their entirety, not just colonize them, as the European powers did, so there will be a lot of grassroots officials in the follow-up plan. Once the army occupies these places, we need to send young and vigorous officials to control these places in the shortest possible time. The reason why the school for training officials was chosen in Yunnan was to enable the trained officials to better adapt to the climate of South Asia, and if northerners were to be sent to South Asia, the second half of the plan would be skewed simply by not adapting to the soil and water. ”
There are many countries marked with red circles on the map, including almost all of South Asia, but Zhuo Fei is the only one who does not include Japan. Naturally, the attendees did not ignore this, and even when someone asked, "What about Japan?" The Japanese are our great enemy and aggressor, so why don't we take Japan as the main target when we move south? ”
Zhuo Fei smiled lightly and explained, "Although Japan is only an island country, the Japanese army's station is Ouli, I think you should all know better than me." Moreover, Japan has a fleet, and it is too early to discuss this matter if it rashly attacks the Japanese mainland, not to mention that the Japanese Navy is unwilling. As soon as the Japanese found that they could not defeat China on land, they would choose the direction of attack again, and I personally believe that it would be better for China to keep Japan than to destroy them. ”
When Zhuo Fei explained this, Bao Man, who was standing next to the map, drew an arrow with a red pen at the bottom of the map according to Zhuo Fei's instructions. "Look, this is Australia, and more than 700 square kilometers of Australia is now a British colony. Once Germany and Britain and France fought in Europe, the last retreat of the British, who was not inferior to Germany, was here, Germany and Japan were allies, and if it was an order from the Germans, the Japanese, who saw that there was no hope in Asia, would definitely attack Australia along the island chain in South Asia. ”
"With an area of more than 700 square kilometers, this is undoubtedly a great gift from God to the Japanese. There is no need to tempt them at all, as long as the German government throws a casual wink, the Japanese will surely target Australia. And we only need to secure the territory that we have controlled, wait for the Japanese army to enter Australia, and as long as the time is right, we can be the yellow finch that makes the last profit. ”
At this point, Zhuo Fei's plan was explained, and the participants understood the actual intention of this ultimate plan, which was to use this war to seek as many interests for China as possible under the pretext of destroying the Japanese army. "We have a lot of everything, especially the population, and as long as we occupy these places, officials and immigrants will be stationed in these places at the same time. Regardless of the post-war situation, as long as our immigrants have established roots in these places, then these places are ours. ”
"That's my whole plan, and it's mainly about taking advantage of the Japanese and ourselves, and maybe the natives in the South Asian countries. In short, this is an opportunity for our Chinese, once the European war breaks out, it will involve more than ninety percent of the countries in the world, such a chaotic situation, it should be a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the fire. You are all old-timers, you should know what it means once this plan is successful, and for us Chinese, this is the foundation of the world. ”
Zhuo Fei's main task in participating in this meeting was to explain the ultimate plan to the participants, and as for the detailed rules of the talks between the Chinese and Communist parties, they had nothing to do with Zhuo Fei. Just as Zhuo Fei turned around and was about to leave, Mao Zedong suddenly asked Zhuo Fei at this time, "Having said so much, what I want to know is, what do you want?" In other words, what does your umbrella company want? After giving so much, it is impossible not to get anything in return. ”
Zhuo Fei turned back to Mao Zedong and smiled, "Our umbrella company is a mercenary company, China is currently our only customer, once the Kuomintang and the Communist Party reach cooperation, we will also sign an employment contract between us." The obligations and benefits that our umbrella company should pay and should enjoy will be specified in the contract one by one, you don't have to care about what we want, everything will be carried out in accordance with the details of the contract. ”
Zhuo Fei's answer was very general, and among all the people present, only Chiang Kai-shek vaguely knew some of Zhuo Fei's thoughts. "Boss, do we really want to use that ultimate plan to cooperate with the Chinese? Why didn't we implement that plan ourselves? Walking out of the living room, Bowman asked Zhuo Fei very puzzled. As Zhuo Fei's personal bodyguard, Bowman is also one of the people who know the ultimate plan, and Bowman, who was once a member of the German army, has made countless deductions about the ultimate plan, and naturally knows what it means after the plan is successfully implemented.
Handing Bowman a cigarette, Zhuo Fei turned his head to look at Bowman with disdain, "I know you discussed that plan in private, and I think you all know what that plan means, but you have forgotten one of the most important and critical problems, that is, we don't have enough manpower. Those countries in South Asia don't look big, but when they are combined, they are a lot bigger. It's not the Age of Discovery, we're not the East India Company, don't think that our Umbrella Company can eat these places in one bite, the Jews can't be relied on after all. ”
"Then we can't give them our plan in vain, you look at the eyes and doubts of those people just now, as if we were coaxing them, obviously taking a big advantage." Bowman took a sip very uncomfortably, and then asked Zhuo Fei again with expectant eyes, "Boss, Miss Angela can say, she likes the climate and scenery of South Asia very much, if only I could give her a small island in South Asia." ”
"I think you want a small island in South Asia, right?" Zhuo Fei looked at Bowman with a cigarette in his mouth, but the latter only laughed a few times but did not answer. "Don't worry, the island will have it, we have paid so much in vain, I won't let everyone work in vain. Naturally, we will be rewarded for our hard work, otherwise, I might as well take you to Europe to make war money. ”
After smoking a cigarette, Zhuo Fei and the two returned to the station arranged for them by Chiang Kai-shek, the talks continued, Zhuo Fei was not idle, and was pulled by Baoman to study the map of South Asia all day, and the map was also circled by Baoman with a red pen countless islands. "My opinion, every money we spend on this project should be recorded so that it can be added as a sub-record when we sign a contract with the Chinese government. As an employer, the Chinese government does not need to pay us now, but in the event of a landslide victory for China, we will allow the Chinese government to pass on this part of the employment money to Japan. ”
"War reparations have been paid since ancient times, and once Japan is defeated, we will use our mercenary money in exchange for the qualification to demand war reparations from Japan." The members of the staff group who were summoned by Zhuo Fei didn't know what their boss had in mind, so they had to work out a contract according to Zhuo Fei's intentions first. The Umbrella Company was not an individual, and Zhuo Fei had no intention or idea of taking a piece of territory from the Chinese government from the beginning, and what he sought was even more difficult for Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong to understand.
"You say that the umbrella company only needs a license to operate exclusively in Japan after the war?" At dinner time, Chiang Kai-shek, who got the employment contract, looked at Zhuo Fei with a puzzled face, the umbrella company has paid so much for the ultimate plan, in Chiang Kai-shek's opinion, even if Zhuo Fei opens his mouth, it is understandable, but he can't understand why Zhuo Fei would put forward such a condition.
"Do you really think that the exclusive operation of the Japanese mainland will offset the employment fee we should pay to the umbrella company?" Mao Zedong also had difficulty understanding the money mentioned by Zhuo Fei in the contract. In Zhuo Fei's ultimate plan, Zhuo Fei has positioned post-war Japan as a purely agricultural country, but what is the use of umbrella companies asking for the exclusive right to operate an agricultural country?
"Because I want to build Japan into a paradise of agriculture and tourism, and when you come back to Japan in a few decades, there is nothing you can't think of, nothing you can't see, and it's nothing more than heaven on earth." Zhuo Fei's answer was still very vague, just leaving Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong a space for imagination, but Zhuo Fei's expression didn't look like he was joking, and Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong didn't continue to ask.
