Chapter 169: Planning

September 9, Jonas Farm.

In autumn, Jonas Farm is a little more fireworks than in other seasons, and the farm is ripe for harvesting of fruits, fresh vegetables, and a patch of spring wheat.

In the garden in front of the main house, the grapes planted the year before last are luxuriant, but unfortunately there are not enough years, and only a few grapes bear fruit this year.

Under the grape trellis, Zhou Nan and the guests Pan Lao and Cai Lao enjoyed the warm evening breeze and enjoyed the beautiful autumn scenery.

"Huayang, you are really a fairyland here, how did you find such a treasure in the first place?"

Zhou Nan pointed to the other side of the lake on the west side and smiled: "It's just a coincidence, I just settled in Megan, but I was kicked out, so I settled here." ”

Zhou Nan's story is familiar to everyone, and his experience has long been spread all over the world. There are also countless scholars studying his life experience, hoping to study Zhou Nan's change of mentality.

Everyone greeted each other for a while, and in such a place like a fairyland on earth, at this time, everyone was not interested in talking about business.

Audrey accompanied Kelly in the kitchen, looking up at Zhou Nan sitting in the garden from time to time, with a sweet smile on her face.

Kelly looked at her like a girl, and couldn't help but be a little anxious. "Audrey, isn't your body yet responding? Are you still using contraception every day? ”

“…… Not at all! But I don't know why, I just didn't respond. ”

"Why don't I take you to check it out tomorrow......"

Audrey was a little shy at the thought of revealing her privacy in front of a doctor. Jonas said, "Everything depends on fate...... It means not to force it. ”

Kelly sighed and said, "You've been together for three years!" There is also a lack of children's laughter in the house. ”

Audrey stopped talking. In her heart, why don't she want a child!

But...... She looked at her lower abdomen, and there was a hint of gloom in her eyes.

Kelly looked at her expression and let out a long sigh.

Etinny's appearance disturbed the laughter in the garden. "Jonas, I just received the news that North Korea was officially announced today."

Pan Lao and they didn't pay much attention to this matter, after the establishment of South Korea, the establishment of North Korea was a very normal thing. What's more, they already announced the launch of the new national flag yesterday.

However, Zhou Nan knew very well that the establishment of North Korea meant that the Soviet Union and the United States had prepared to open a second battlefield.

He didn't want to act like a god anymore, because even if he told them in advance, it wouldn't change the outcome.

However, there is still some work to be done.

"Pan Lao, since the claim of the civil claims group has been rejected by the International Tribunal, then the state compensation will be initiated. We want to join forces in Aceh, Maluku, New Guinea, oh, the Philippines, Burma, Australia, New Zealand to put pressure on Japan. ”

"The Philippines? Aren't they looking to the United States? Will you have the same heart as us? ”

Zhou Nan smiled and said: "They are more urgent than us to get some compensation, and their people all agree that this kind of compensation is paid to them by Japan, so the civil forces can't be suppressed at all." ”

The Philippines suffered heavy losses in World War II. According to official Philippine statistics, more than one million people were killed in the war, and the war losses were nearly 20 billion pesos, totaling more than $8 billion.

After the war, the Philippine government and the opposition had high hopes for Japan's compensation, and the Philippine government especially hoped that Japan's industrial production capacity would be transferred to Japan through the demolition compensation, and even formulated an ambitious industrial development and economic recovery plan in advance on this basis.

For example, last year's "Best Plan" hopes to obtain from Japan a steel industry with an annual output of 150,000 tons, a sulfuric acid plant with an annual output of 41,000 tons, a soda ash plant with an annual output of 23,000 tons, and a textile factory with an annual output of 250,000 spindles.

However, after the time entered this year, the issue of Japan's compensation was embarrassed by the United States, and the equipment of Japanese enterprises that was originally dismantled and shipped was also left in Japan by MacArthur.

This is mainly due to the fact that the current domestic situation in Japan is chaotic and the Japanese Communist Party is now developing rapidly. If Japan is really left with nothing, then Japan will probably be dyed red, which the United States absolutely does not want to see.

Therefore, the United States gradually changed its attitude from the beginning when it supported the dismantling of Japan's industrial power.

Now the situation is not grim, and everyone is still relatively optimistic. However, after the founding of New China, the United States quickly shifted its strategic focus, made a 180-degree turn from the disintegration of Japan, and began to support Japan again.

In the 50th year, the United States advocated abandoning all claims against Japan. In this regard, the Philippines, China, Myanmar, Australia, New Zealand and other countries have expressed opposition.

The U.S. explained that Japan's security and economic revival were the first of its kind in order to defend itself against the communist invasion, and that the issue of reparations was not important.

Of all the countries, the Philippines has been the most successful in claiming.

The Japanese did not accept their terms, and the Gilino government directly killed some Japanese prisoners of war to show its toughness, and negotiated with the United States on the issue of national standpoint.

The Philippines and Japan are the Asian countries that the United States values the most, and these two countries are the most important bases for stopping the spread of red to the Pacific.

So, the Philippines succeeded, they received more compensation than any other country, and they also got long-term, low-interest loans.

But when Zhou Nan proposed this model, Cai Lao and the others unanimously opposed it.

Because South China is different from the Philippines, which is a reserved territory of the United States, they have ruled there for decades, their influence at the entire level of the state, and there are troops there.

However, with regard to South China, the United States is now only providing limited support and vigilance. If Nanhua dares to be arrogant, they will definitely not hesitate to suppress Nanhua and instead support Nanhua's biggest opponents, the Javanese.

Of course, Zhou Nan knew this, and he organized his own language and said: "Of course I know that Nanhua can't do against the United States now, but we can create this atmosphere at home." My main purpose is not to make claims, and in fact, Japan today simply does not have much to offer that South China is interested in. ”

Everyone listened to Zhou Nan's analysis, and no one interrupted him, wanting to hear what he had to say next.

But Zhou Nan asked: "At present, how many loans from various countries and the available funds that do not affect domestic finance are still in our hands?" ”

Pan Lao smiled bitterly: "Now only the money is not enough, where is there any leftover!" However, we can use part of the working capital of the merchants,...... It cannot exceed $300 million. ”

"Enough ......"

Zhou Nan said excitedly: "In fact, it is not for the government to pay for it, but for the government to take the lead and organize a group of businessmen to go to Japan for procurement." We want to buy all the industrial equipment that Japan has now, and then use the money to compensate other countries. For example, convince countries such as the Philippines, New Zealand, and Australia that they will definitely approve of this plan. ”

Cai Lao was still a little puzzled for a while, and said: "Although the price of our purchases from Europe and the United States is a little higher, the equipment is new, so why bother to buy old goods from Japan?" ”

"So which of these Asian countries do you think will become a direct economic rival of South China in the future? Japan, like Germany, has a complete industrial system and skilled workers. In order to have something to eat, their people will burst out with great enthusiasm for struggle. And if they develop, they will definitely become our biggest competitors in the future. Now that they have lost a little more, the future development will be a little more difficult......"

To weaken your competitors is to strengthen yourself. What's more, the price to pay for this is not very large. Therefore, Cai Lao and the others quickly understood what Zhou Nan meant, and they all thought that this plan was very likely to succeed.

South China is not talking about compensation now, but only spending money to buy their equipment, and it is impossible for the United States to directly oppose it. And by bringing in countries like the Philippines, a strong alliance will be formed.

Japan has no money to compensate, and now that someone is willing to compensate for Japan, it would be too partial, if you and the United States want to block it.

Pan Lao asked with great interest: "Then, the scope of materials we mainly purchase also needs to be well planned." ”

Zhou Nan waved his hand and said: "Whether it is factory equipment, means of production, means of consumption, raw materials, gold, technical labor, merchant ships and other materials that can be valued, except for stocks, creditor's rights, securities, we don't want them." In addition, we should organize an industrial analysis group as soon as possible to make statistics on the current industrial level of our South China and Japan's industrial base, so as to ensure our leading edge in various fields. If we are inferior to Japan in any aspect, we must weaken them in that aspect. ”

A few years later, relying on the war on the peninsula, the Japanese economy recovered quickly, and this time, Zhou Nan would definitely not allow them to go so smoothly.

The best thing to do, of course, is not to shout and kill, and the United States will not allow it.

Then dig up their roots.

Now you, the United States, are starting to block other countries and not make too many reparations. Isn't it okay for me to buy it?

And I'm not just going to buy it, I'm going to bring all your creditors together, and you can't sell it if you want to.

There is no need to hollow out your entire industrial foundation, I only need to weaken your technological development fault in the field of industrial processing and electronic technology, and then rob some of your orders, which will make your development insurmountable.

Cai Lao, Pan Lao, they may still have a shallow political vision, after all, they are all merchant families.

But when it comes to their business field, everyone has a bad stomach and kills people invisibly.

In this regard, Zhou Nan couldn't catch up with them.

Because these families were able to grow and thrive in such a difficult environment, none of them were fuel-efficient lamps!

In one night, they had already sketched out a complete plan in direction.

Of course, this plan is not complete now, but in terms of detailed implementation, there is no need for Zhou Nan to allocate it again.

Pan Lao, on the other hand, had just reached an agreement with Britain and the Netherlands on many international issues. If it weren't for the fact that they still need to form a negotiation team, they wouldn't even want to go back to China and go directly to the United States to talk about cooperation with the United States.
