Chapter 294: Control of the Salvation Society

With the end of the meeting with David, the United States asked MacArthur to send a message of condolence to Zhao Tiehu on behalf of the Allies, saying that the Allies regarded the Xinghua Army as an ally, and the United States regarded Zhao Tiehu as a reliable friend.

For such a telegram and goodwill, Zhao Tiehu was not too relieved. Between countries, sometimes the covenant can be torn up at any time for the sake of profit. How could such a telegram be regarded as a guarantee by the Americans to themselves and the Nanyang Chinese?

It's just this telegram, Zhao Tiehu still put it away properly. In the future, if the U.S. military really turns against the Xinghua Army, Zhao Tiehu will also make this telegram public. When the time comes, I believe that many Americans will also know what the faces of the top government leaders are like.

Even if it doesn't make much of a difference, it will at least make people feel that the U.S. government is not trustworthy. In his previous life, Zhao Tiehu saw a sentence, that is, 'I would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe in the mouths of American politicians'.

In addition to this secret telegram sent by MacArthur, the United States also provided a sum of money to Zhao Tiehu in a timely manner. But Zhao Tiehu finally entrusted David with all this funds to help him purchase some materials from the United States.

Even now, David, a buyer, is not limited to cooperating with American businessmen. Many companies in the United Kingdom, France and other countries can also get orders from David from time to time. Even if there are some things that can't be sold, you can still buy them for money.

As long as the cargo owner transports the goods to Asia, these loaded goods will be safely delivered to Mindanao. In response to this situation, many foreign businessmen have gradually realized that Zhao Tiehu's influence in Asia is strengthening.

Some bold foreign businessmen also began to seek more cooperation with the Xinghua Army in order to make some high profits. Many of the equipment that cannot be produced in the country for the time being was transported to Nanyang for sale, and a batch of goods were imported from Nanyang to return to China.

Most of these goods were civilian and military supplies, which were precisely what the Allies needed. As the Germans destroyed many small European countries, the necessities of life in many countries became a problem.

The materials provided by Zhao Tiehu are much cheaper than those produced in China, and they are good things that are not sold in China. This also means that as long as they ship batches of goods to Nanyang, they can also make a lot of money on the goods they ship back.

Even to the amazement of many foreign businessmen, Zhao Tiehu could not only supply them in Nanyang, but also provide them with goods even on the mainland. In this way, many foreign businessmen feel that the Xinghua Army is really hand-eyed!

In fact, after going to Yan'an for a secret meeting with the committee members last time, Zhao Tiehu felt that the population of the Eighth Route Army base area was quite large. If there is the appropriate equipment and materials, it should be able to produce large quantities of civilian and military materials.

In this case, Zhao Tiehu used the channels he had opened up to transport a batch of civilian equipment to the control area of the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army organized the people in the base area to carry out production, and the sales were all handed over to the wolf warriors.

In this way, in addition to obtaining a large number of civilian machinery and equipment, the Eighth Route Army can also organize and train a group of workers. In addition, from this kind of cooperation, a large number of funds and materials that the Eighth Route Army urgently needs can be obtained.

In short, as far as the current domestic situation is concerned, there is still a big gap between the Eighth Route Army and the Zhongwei Army, which has received a large amount of military aid from Britain and the United States. What Zhao Tiehu has to do is to help the Eighth Route Army accelerate its strength.

Even through full cooperation with the Eighth Route Army, Zhao Tiehu was able to obtain more raw materials from China. This kind of win-win cooperation also made the Eighth Route Army feel very satisfied. But this cooperation is also very confidential.

In particular, the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army has received a large amount of military production equipment from Nanyang, and its production level has also been rapidly improved. Gradually, the situation of the Eighth Route Army in the north was also greatly improved.

In contrast, the current situation of the Zhong Yan army fighting the Japanese army in the south does not seem to be much different from before. The really strong and elite troops seem to be sent to Burma to launch a second counterattack against the Japanese army in Burma.

Even Lao Chiang, who was far away in Chongqing, had already obtained relevant information from the military command. But in addition to showing unhappiness, Lao Jiang didn't say much. It just said that all factories in Chongqing should also do a good job in production.

It's a pity that, compared to the Eighth Route Army, from management to workers, they are all appointed and screened by the organization. Many of the workers in these factories under the jurisdiction of the Zhong Yanjun are unhappy, and the corruption of the factory management is also serious.

After all, some core enterprises are basically in the hands of some powerful people. The equipment and things produced by the factory often become a tool for their personal gain. This point is only afraid of being powerless to reverse in a short time!

With the help of the Japanese bowl, the political propaganda work of the National Salvation Association became more and more carried out, and more and more Japanese officers and soldiers and politicians were secretly wooed. Zhao Tiehu, who has absolute leadership over the National Salvation Association, has also benefited a lot.

Just when Toda Nosuke learned that the base camp held a military reform meeting, he did not let him attend. Outside the base camp of the Salvation Association, there were also a few old friends of Toda Nosuke. Seeing these people coming, Toda Nosuke also seemed very happy.

After a warm conversation, the person in charge who came to convey Zhao Tiehu's instructions also said in a timely manner: "Toda-kun, the wolf head has a separate instruction to announce, and the others should leave first." The specific content will be conveyed by Toda-kun later! ”

Several high-ranking members of the National Salvation Association also left with interest. After all, they all knew that these people who came to visit the base camp were all the people in charge of the Wolf Warrior's operation in the Sun Bowl. The abilities of these people, they are also very clear.

Once they do more than Zhao Tiehu allows, then the task force will unceremoniously execute them secretly. It can be said that in matters involving betrayal, Zhao Tiehu also has a zero-tolerance attitude towards these high-level leaders of the National Salvation Association.

After the others left, the person in charge also said in a timely manner: "Toda-kun, on behalf of the wolf head, I now announce the promotion and reward order for you. However, in view of your special circumstances, this order has not been made public. ”

"Yes, please Wolf Head!"

Even now Toda Nosuke has become the leader of the Salvation Association. But Toda Nosuke knows very well that the current Salvation Association is still under Zhao Tiehu's surveillance. It's not just him, I'm afraid many people are the same.

Even if he is the president of the Salvation Association, the real person in charge and decision-maker of the Salvation Association is still Zhao Tiehu, who is far away in Nanyang. Even if Zhao Tiehu gave him the right to make decisions on cameras, there were some things that Toda Nosuke still didn't dare to make decisions about.

In Toda's view, only by being loyal to Zhao Tiehu could he lead the post-war reconstruction of Shinnichibo in the future. And Toda's family has been staying in Mindanao for now.

Although he would return to Mindanao from time to time to visit his wife and children there. But Toda Nosuke knew very well that even if he brought his wife and children back to Hinata in the future. About him and Xinghua Army, too many people can't know about it.

When Toda Nosuke got up very seriously, the person in charge of the action team who came on behalf of Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Military Reform Order No. 6!" The head of the Wolf Warrior Japanese Mercenary Corps, Nosuke Toda, is hereby promoted to lieutenant general in recognition of his contribution to the Wolf Warrior Regiment! ”

After reading the order, the head of the action team handed over the camouflage combat uniform representing the wolf warrior and an epaulette with the rank of lieutenant general to Toda's assistant. Seeing these things, Nosuke Toda also felt very excited.

Think about a few years ago, he was a bullied soldier in the Japanese artillery unit. In a blink of an eye, he became the leader of the Salvation Association, not to mention, but also the lieutenant general of the Wolf Warrior Regiment. For him, this is a drastic change in fate!

When Toda Nosuke took over the combat uniform, the person in charge of the action team also saluted in due course: "Major General Sun Dacheng, the head of the Japanese bowl action team, has seen General Toda!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Toda Nosuke returned the gift and said in surprise: "Sun Jun, are you a major general?" ”

"Yes! Toda-kun, I need to tell you. At this military reform conference, you are one of the five highest ranks. Four of them are Li Hao, Song Dabao, Li Chengwu and Chen Liquan.

Another point that needs to be emphasized is that you are now part of the Wolf Warrior Regiment and are directly under the command of the Wolf Head. And as the general person in charge of the Japanese bowl action team, I also need to obey your orders for some operations in the Japanese bowl, which is specially explained by the wolf head.

Just take into account your safety and the missions and tasks you may need to take on in the future. This letter of appointment was announced to you in secret by me. In addition to you, several brothers of the Salvation Association have also been promoted accordingly.

This also means that once the situation changes in the future, you can return to Nanyang at any time, and our wolf warrior regiment and Xinghua army will always be your strong backing. Their appointments will be announced by you separately at that time. ”

After this explanation, Toda Nosuke was also very moved and said, "Thank you for the trust of the wolf head!" For the sake of my business, let him bother! The next time I go back to Nanyang, I will definitely thank him personally! ”

In fact, for Sun Dacheng, the team he was in charge of in Ribo was also responsible for monitoring the situation of the National Salvation Association to some extent. Once Toda Nosuke wanted to break away from the control of the Xinghua Army, then Sun Dacheng was also responsible for getting rid of Toda Nosuke.

After all, when Sun Dacheng was sent over earlier, Zhao Tiehu told him. For these high-level leaders of the National Salvation Association, who were converted from Japanese prisoners of war, they must serve the interests of the Wolf Warrior Regiment.

If they fail to do so, or even try to get out of control, the team must immediately eliminate them. The current high-end armed forces of the National Salvation Association have always been controlled by Sun Dacheng.

Fortunately, Toda Nosuke is very self-aware, and knows that all the fame and status he has now are given by Zhao Tiehu. If he chooses to betray, let's not say whether he can succeed or not. The final result will not be better than it is now.

As for the president of the National Salvation Association, if Zhao Tiehu really wants to change the position, I believe that the National Salvation Association will not be able to mess up. If Toda Nosuke doesn't want to be replaced by someone else, then he can only follow in the footsteps of Zhao Tiehu!
