With the blockade and occupation of coastal ports by the Japanese army, Haiphong City, which had not had many ships coming and going, also became a port for unloading overseas supplies. As the actual controller of Haiphong City, the British and French countries that colonized it made a lot of money by virtue of this advantage.

However, to the surprise of the British and French colonial governments, soon after the Japanese army raided Qiongdao, they ignored the protests of Britain, France and other countries and launched the Battle of Guinan again. After the raid on Qinzhou Bay, its landing force quickly cut off the transportation line from Haiphong to Longzhou.

Upon learning of this news, Britain, France and other countries that colonized Indochina naturally inevitably protested again. It is a pity that at this moment, including the Nationalist Government, they all know that Britain and France are only loud voices, and they do not dare to provoke the Japanese army at all.

Now that the German army has invaded Poland, it also ignores the voices of Britain and France and other countries declaring war on them. In order to prevent the invasion of the German army, Britain, France and other countries are also actively preparing for war. In this case, the two countries simply cannot take care of their colonies in Asia.

After the transportation line was cut off, Haiphong City, which used to be full of people and vehicles, seemed to have become much more depressed. For the colonists who ruled the city and the port, it was natural that they hated the Japanese army who had cut off their financial routes.

As a foreigner who had just settled in Haiphong City, Nuvic quickly became a popular guest among the port city administrators with the funds provided by Hu Biao and the White Bear Commando hidden behind him.

After the meeting with Hu Biao, Nuvic again invited the port governor to drink. After drinking and eating, Nuvic smiled and said, "Luis, the recent war provoked by the Fuso people in Guinan should make you and the government lose a lot, right?" ”

"Yes! Why do these damn dwarf gongs like to wage war so much? Wouldn't it be nice to put more effort into making money? ”

Listening to the words of the port governor, Nuvic continued: "As far as these dwarf gongs are concerned, they know very well how rich Huaxia is. Compared to us, who just want to make money from this country, they want to swallow it and enjoy this rich land for themselves.

At present, the highway from the port to Yongju has been cut off, and it is difficult to find a target for sales of goods piled up in the port from various countries. As a friend, I think I should help you share some of your problems. I found a way to make money, are you interested? ”

As soon as these words came out, Luis's eyes immediately lit up and said: "Vicky, my friend, you should know that I am very interested in anything to make money. Let's talk about it! As long as I can make money, where my responsibilities are, I will do my best! ”

It is clear that the governor in front of him has been corrupted by a life of luxury. For Luis, he hopes that he can do as much as he can while in office. For them, coming to serve in the colony was itself to make money.

Finding a map, Nuvic pointed to a small county town behind Haiphong City and said, "Luis, as a governor, you should not be overwhelmed by the difficulties in front of you. This is Indochina, your territory, can it still be threatened by dwarf gongs?

It is evident from the fact that they did not dare to attack us, but instead attacked the city next door, that they did not dare to provoke us. In that case, why don't we reopen a trade route? You should know that the people over there are in great need of the goods here.

This time I went out and found some friends over there, and we decided to reopen a business route. Although the road conditions are certainly not comparable to before. But as long as this trade road is opened, I believe that there will be people who are more anxious to build the road than us! ”

Pointing to a small county town on the border with Yunnan Province, Nuvich quickly proposed to Luis that a new trade route be reopened. These rhetoric and ideas were actually suggested by Hu Biao. And this small city is not too far from Fuzhou City.

Even Hu Biao knew that the small county town of Yunnan Province, which was adjacent to it in later generations, also became prosperous because of this port. In the future, when the Japanese army invaded Indochina, that place also became an important place for the expeditionary force to compete with the Japanese army.

Now that it is planned in advance as a material port, Hu Biao believes that Yunnan Province and the Nationalist Government will recognize it. In domestic business, Hu Biao will not interfere too much. On the other side of the business, Hu Biao will firmly control it through Nuvic.

When the war is in the future, Hu Biao can also rely on some things deployed in advance to stop the war outside the national border as much as possible. As for whether the Nationalist Government will organize an expeditionary force in the future, Hu Biao feels that the possibility is still relatively large.

The reason is simple: Indochina's interests were important to colonial powers such as Britain and France, as well as to the Nationalist Government. If the Indochina colony was completely occupied by the Japanese army, then the Nationalist Government's access to foreign supplies would really be completely cut off.

Secondly, re-planning a major commercial city can also quietly infiltrate more forces. In a thriving place of commerce, there are countless strangers who come and go every day. It is also difficult for too many people to know about the materials that are transported in and out every day.

Through Nuvic's connections, Hu Biao intends to bring this new city in Indochina under his control. Even if on the surface, find some people from the colonial government to manage it, but in private, everything must be decided by Hu Biao.

Only in this way can the forces under Hu Biao have a greater say in the Indochina colony. Correspondingly, through business dealings, Hu Biao can not only sell the materials he produces, but also buy the materials he needs.

After listening to Nuvic's plan, Louis said a little cautiously: "Your friend over there, do you really have this ability?" ”

"Friend, when do you see me doing something that I am not sure of? And when I came back this time, my friend gave you an extra gift. Although the gift is a little scary to look at, I'm sure you'll like it.

I'm sure you've heard that Dwarf Gong suffered a defeat over there, and there was a force of several thousand people, all of which were wiped out by the troops over there. My friend, who spent a lot of money and connections, transferred the corpse of the headquarters of that unit.

Didn't you say that you always wanted to find trouble with the dwarf gong and vent your evil anger? From what I know of the dwarf gongs, if they know that you have the body of their defeated general, they will surely redeem it at any cost.

The body has been brought back by me and placed in a very safe place. I'll give you a few pictures later, and you can give them to the representatives of the dwarf gongs in the city. When they confirm the identity of the corpse, they will definitely ransom you for the corpse at a high price! ”

At first, Louis felt a little disgusted when he heard Nuvic say that his friend in the colony had given him a corpse as a gift. But after listening to Nuvic's story, he felt that this 'gift' was indeed too suitable.

During this time, Louis has always wanted to knock on the Fusang people in Haiphong City, but he is limited to domestic requirements and does not provoke conflicts with Fusang. So much so that he wanted to find an opportunity to vent his evil anger, he felt extremely helpless.

Now that Nuvic has given him such an opportunity, Luis believes in Fuso, and while cursing that he is a vampire, he has to pay him a high price for the corpse. Thinking of this, Louis was also extremely happy.

Directly said that he could give Nuvic carte blanche to take charge of the opening of new trade routes. All Nuvic had to do was to transport the goods stranded in the port and pay the corresponding taxes to the colonial government he presided over.

During the transportation of goods, Louis can use his connections to ensure that the caravan is not hindered too much along the way. As for how the goods arriving there were to be transshipped into Yunnan Province, Louis ignored them.

In Lewis's words, it was a purely commercial trade dealing, not mixed with any political purpose. If the convoy was at risk of being attacked by the Fusos during its transportation, Louis could only guarantee that a large number of Japanese troops would not enter the colony.

With these assurances, Nuvic also said happily: "Please rest assured, in addition to bulk goods, I will organize a group of people to give priority to purchasing your friend's goods." Just in terms of the sales price, I must also be given a certain discount.

The cost of reopening a trade route is high. And for the sake of cargo safety, I have to hire more guards. These will increase my costs, so in terms of the purchase price, I hope they will make some profits! ”

"No problem! Now in this situation, they are very fortunate to be able to sell the goods that have been brought here. If they are too greedy, God will not forgive them. Just look at this and deal with it! ”

For Louis, the so-called friends are more of interests. If his friends can't bring him benefits, then it doesn't hurt that they don't want such friends. As things stand, he feels that Nuvic can bring him more bang for his buck.

After finalizing the purchase of materials, that is, planning a new city as a distribution center for goods, Nuvic quickly sent a telegram to Hu Biao. Hu Biao, who received the telegram, said very happily: "Bai Xiong's errand is not bad, and he has made a great contribution to us!" ”

"Wolf head, with this territory, I believe that our various constructions over there can also be rapid development!"

"That's right! Dressed in the cloak of legitimacy allowed by the colonial government, we can quickly build up strength there. When war comes, we will have more plans and ways to deal with it. Inform Zhao Bing and let him come over here quickly! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

Then send a telegram to the military commander and the Yunnan Provincial Side, informing them of the news of the opening of new trade routes. If the materials currently stranded in Hai Phong City are urgently needed by the government, let them send someone to contact us as soon as possible, and we will send someone to transport them for them at that time.

The corresponding funds, as well as the manpower to receive the supplies, let them quickly raise and prepare. I'll contact them again when there's news later. Also, remind them that it's best to keep this matter in secret, and don't make it too public for the time being! ”

"Understood!"

Even though the Nationalist Government was in the two southwestern provinces, it had a number of commercial and trade ports connected to the colonial government. But the real scale, at present, only Haiphong City to Longzhou, and the Yunnan-Burma Highway that has just been built.

The former has now been completely interrupted, and it is believed that it is extremely difficult for the latter to undertake such a heavy task of transporting materials. If Hu Biao's side can open up one more material transportation line, I believe that the national government will also be happy to see it.

With this material transportation line, Hu Biao can get some of the things he wants on the side of the colonial government and the national government. In this way, Hu Biao's development in the southwest will be improved faster!
