Chapter 131: Li Yang joins the gang
Li Yang persuaded himself to attack the Philippines for the benefit of the Li family, the Li family's business layout in the Philippines has a certain scale, even if the Li family's business is threatened, but it is far from Li Yang's urgent mentality.
The Philippines is the most concerned about the interests of the Yang family, Li Yang persuaded himself to attack the Philippines, and it must be that the Yang family is facing a threat.
Thinking of this, Sun Hao was happy in his heart. The colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are all in their own pockets anyway, and with their own strength, it is not a problem to attack whenever they want. With the current offensive posture, in a few days at most, beyond Borneo, Kuwa, and Suman, the rest of the colonies in the South Seas of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will be in their own hands.
The total area of the Philippines is 29. 970,000 square kilometers, a total of more than 7,000 large and small islands, except for a few islands have a relatively wide inland plain, most of the islands only have scattered narrow plains along the coast, the Philippines' gold mines are also very rich, in the world can be ranked first, as long as the Philippines, plus Papua's gold mines, it is equivalent to their own mastery of the world's two major gold mines.
The key is that the Philippines is far away from Taiwan Province of China across the Bass Strait in the north, and as long as the Philippines is taken, this will be of great help to take Taiwan and the Ryukyus in the future, and it can also establish a bridgehead for itself to control the Central Plains. Taking the Philippines will lay the foundation for his own control of the Pacific Ocean.
There is still the Third Army in Fuming City, and with the strength of the Third Group, taking the Philippines is like taking something. As long as the Pacific Fleet deployed by the United States in Manila is killed, and then the Great White Fleet that the United States is proud of is sunk, even if the United States wants to fight back, it can only sigh.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the "credit" coolies who went to the west of the United States to engage in the development of hard labor ("credit" is Cantonese, the meaning of owing tickets on credit) was born from the "piglet" system.
Most of these Chinese workers came from the Pearl River Delta counties, and almost all of them left Hong Kong. The Hong Kong authorities insist that they are "free immigrants", but in fact they are indentured laborers who are pledged to pay off their debts. The coolies all signed a contract to repay their debts, and each owed 125 yuan for the ship's fare, food, and settling-in expenses. This is the first credit coolie to go to the United States.
In 1850~1880, in the development of the western United States, a large number of cheap Chinese laborers were used in major projects such as railroad construction, mining and large-scale renovation of waterlogged land.
After the capitalists signed a contract with the "headman" of the San Francisco Chinese Association to contract the project, the "headman" sent people back to their hometowns in the mainland to bribe the local and ethnic gentry to lure the Chinese workers into making an appointment to Hong Kong with the lie of paying the ship's fare, paying the settling-in allowance in advance, and "going to Jinshan to make a fortune."
In order to pretend to be a "free traveler", before boarding the ship, he forced the coolie to go to rice at his own expense, and the rice consular visa was signed with the creditor after arriving in rice, and he was controlled by the "chief" and sent to the construction site to work in formation. Repay debts in installments with monthly wages.
The "chiefs" often lent money to coolies to induce gambling and cigarettes, and sold daily necessities on credit at high prices, so that the Chinese laborers were in debt for a long time and could not get out.
It is estimated that in 1849~1882, a total of 300,000 Chinese workers went to the United States. They have made great contributions to the development of the western part of the country, and at the same time, they have been persecuted, humiliated, burned, driven and slaughtered by white racists for a long time, and all kinds of atrocities have intensified. Finally, in 1882, the U.S. government ordered a ban on Chinese laborers entering the country.
At that time, the fate of Chinese workers was almost the same as that of black slaves, and these colonists did not treat Chinese workers as human beings at all, whether it was Britain, the Netherlands and the United States, these countries owed countless blood debts to Chinese workers.
Sun Hao thought of the tragic fate of these Chinese workers, and his heart couldn't help but be angry. Taking the Philippines is only the first step, and I must recover this blood debt from the United States and the Netherlands to help those Chinese workers who died unjustly. As for the blood debt of Britain, it can be postponed a little, and Britain is even more hateful than the United States and the Netherlands, not only acting as a trafficker for selling Chinese laborers, but also transporting Chinese to their colonies for exploitation at all levels.
There are also these countries that have repeatedly invaded the Qing Dynasty and slaughtered countless Chinese compatriots, and Sun Hao has these blood debts vividly in his heart.
Li Yang saw that Sun Hao didn't answer himself, but just kept smoking a cigarette, as if thinking about something. So he said: "Brother Sun, you can join the Huaxia Army in the future, and you can even join the Huaxia Army with the intelligence and assassination team established by my Li family, but I don't know what position Brother Sun will give me?" Li Yang said after thinking carefully.
Sun Hao was very happy when he heard that Li Yang had promised him, he was currently quite lacking in talents like this, and it would be great to have talents like Li Yang join.
"Brother Li, this commander wants you to be the leader of the assassination team, that is, responsible for probing the enemy's intelligence, assassinating enemy intelligence and dignitaries, and at the same time eliminating traitors in our own team."
Li Yang heard that he was doing this job, although it was slightly different from his previous career, but it still didn't deviate much.
"Brother Sun, oh! Now it should be called Commander-in-Chief Sun, and the establishment of such an organization cannot be built in a short period of time, and there are still some brothers in the Qing Dynasty, see if you can bring them in. ”
The importance of intelligence and assassination, as a descendant of the 21st century, Sun Hao knows the importance of this organization. During World War II, several major battles in Germany, including the collapse of the famous U-boat, were all related to intelligence, which shows the importance of intelligence services to a country or organization. If you do a good job and improve the intelligence, you will have countless more eyes. Although he now has an intelligence organization of his own, this force is too small to meet his own requirements.
"Brother Li should have been in charge of this aspect in the Li family before, right?" Sun Hao asked a little curiously. Li Yang was full of murderous aura, and it was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, I wonder what you think of Mr. Sun's revolutionary work?" Li Yang looked at Sun Hao and asked.
Revolution? After Sun Hao heard it, he didn't expect Li Yang to be involved with the revolutionary party.
"The commander has great admiration for Mr. Sun's revolutionary work, and although many revolutions have not yet succeeded, this advanced ideology and fearless spirit are worth learning from. However, there are some problems with this revolution, such as financial support, lack of systematic training of troops, and even being used as a tool by others... Sun Hao roughly explained his mental method.
After Li Yang heard this, he didn't expect that Sun Hao had a deep insight into the revolution, even far beyond his own understanding of the revolution. The repeated revolutionary failures made Li Yang lose confidence sideways, and it seems that only by following Sun Hao can he save his compatriots in the world and restore the Han Dynasty.
