Chapter 1812 Obey the arrangement
With the declaration of war between the United States and Germany, the pattern of confrontation between the two powers of the world war finally took shape. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the side of the Axis powers, Germany and the United States are defending, except for the Italian navy, the army is purely a useless cheerleader, while Bulgaria, Romania, Denmark, Norway, the Vichy government and other European countries and a series of puppets controlled by the United States, such as the puppet Manchukuo and the puppet Lanyin government, are in a coercive position, providing a steady stream of war materials and troops for the two powers.
On the side of the allies, the United States and Britain were in Europe and the Pacific respectively, resisting the attack of *** and Germany, while Nanjing and Xinjing were in northern China, Siberia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, confronting ***, and belonged to the effective force of resistance against Japan. In addition, more than ten governments in Europe and Asia, although the country is gone, but the royal family and government dignitaries are there, they can still be regarded as a political force, at least they can wave the flag and cheer.
Outside of the two alliances, the Soviet Union and the Far Eastern republics were fighting on the Urals, but in terms of strength, the Soviet Union had the upper hand. Britain and the United States sent many envoys to Moscow, promising all kinds of benefits, trying to buy off the Soviet Union and launching an offensive on the front line in Eastern Europe to contain the German forces.
In the end, some of the supposedly neutral countries were torn between the Axis and the Allies. Of course, how can you not bow your head under the roof, countries such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Finland and other countries secretly organized so-called "volunteer armies" to fight with the German army in order to maintain a fragile "neutral" position.
Under these circumstances, what was originally a simple Troika summit turned into a bloc between the Allies and the Axis powers.
In order to strengthen the momentum of the allies, US President Roosevelt has frequently met with ambassadors of various countries in the past few days, urging heads of state or representatives of various countries to rush to Washington as soon as possible to attend the joint summit meeting.
At the time of the political showdown with Wang Jingwei, entering the most critical moment, how could Chiang Kai-shek dare to leave Nanjing without permission? Therefore, he sent his wife Soong Meiling, who has outstanding diplomatic ability, and Soong Ziwen, the foreign minister, to the United States to participate in this international event.
At Roosevelt's request, the US State Department urgently drafted a "United Nations Declaration," and as soon as the draft that had not yet been made public came out, Roosevelt sent someone to Los Angeles to ask An Yi for his opinions, and to explain that Churchill had arrived in Washington, and if time permitted, An Yi was asked to return to Washington immediately, and the heads of state of the three countries would hold a meeting first to gain the moral upper hand.
An Yi arrived in Los Angeles on the 16th and was met with California Governor Carl Porter. Olson and the State Assembly Speaker and Members of the State Assembly were warmly received.
The next day, An Yi hosted a banquet for the governors and speakers of Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and other western states at the five-star Holiday Inn where he stayed.
In the past 10 years, of the more than 5 million Chinese who have poured into North and South America, 3 million have obtained American citizenship in the western states of the United States, and about 500,000 have obtained American citizenship in the central and eastern states, and Chinese Americans now account for about 1/45 of the total population of the United States.
The rest of the Chinese, except for some who have obtained the nationality of Canada, Mexico, Brazil and other countries, the rest are stranded in the Americas in the name of business and study.
To a certain extent, the western states of the United States are the foundation of the Chinese in the Americas, and it is very necessary to maintain good relations with the governments and legislatures of the western states.
In the current international context of uniting to resist the aggression of the Axis powers, racists have reined in a lot, and on the premise of ensuring the survival of the country, no matter how big the grievances, they can only choose to live peacefully with the Chinese. Therefore, all the invited state dignitaries attended the reception held by An Yi, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
At noon on the third day, An Yi again held a banquet to entertain representatives of the Chinese and overseas Chinese in the western region, and in the afternoon of the same day, he secretly met with the special forces and officers and soldiers on active duty who had been sent to the United States to serve as security guards from the An Jiajun over the years, the senior management personnel transferred from the Jiangnan Group and the South Sichuan Group, the retired veterans who had shed their residual enthusiasm for the group's cause, and the intellectuals who served in the Chinese group after the completion of their study period in the United States. At the end of the meeting, An Yi earnestly encouraged everyone to guard against arrogance and rashness and make new contributions to the rejuvenation of the nation.
On the fourth and fifth days, An Yi visited the shipyards, aircraft factories, machinery factories and engine factories belonging to the Chinese group around Los Angeles, and talked with the management and workshop workers to understand the production situation.
On April 22, An Yi, who had a general understanding of the current situation of the Chinese group through the visit and the information collected, summoned Lin Xudong, Ma Zhiyuan, and Sonny. Chai Man, Song Haoxuan, Deng Wenbo, Lin Xiaotong, Lin Xiaoran and other senior personnel of the China Youth Society held a meeting in the conference hall of the Holiday Inn.
If Zhang Xi's industry takes the high-end and high-quality route, then the industry of Huaqing Society is blooming across the board, and it is a big and complete, first extending its tentacles to all areas of the American economy, and then talking about development and growth.
Soon after the asset divestiture with Zhang Xi, the Chinese Group began to carry out shareholding reform, regardless of which American citizen the final name of the enterprise was named, Anyi Group always held 51% of the shares through a number of offshore companies registered in the British Virgin Islands, and had an absolute controlling stake.
The other shares are distributed by the Lincun people who are specifically involved in the operation, the old brothers of the model battalion represented by Ma Zhiyuan, the Belarusian economic experts, and the Americans who decorate the façade.
In addition, newly merged and established companies also follow this principle. Therefore, in a sense, An Yi is the big boss behind these companies.
At present, in addition to the real estate industry, the construction industry, the financial industry, the insurance industry, the cultural and sporting goods industry, the entertainment industry, the media industry, the pharmaceutical industry, the large hospital, the hotel industry, the transportation industry, the textile industry, the garment manufacturing industry, the warehousing industry, the express delivery industry, the shipbuilding industry, the shipping industry, the mining industry, the engine industry, the aircraft industry, the automobile manufacturing and sales industry, but also into the department store and supermarket, chemical industry, electronic appliances, beverages, tobacco, papermaking, animal feed and other industries, can be said to have penetrated into all aspects of American society.
Among them, the more successful brands include Canhua Bank, Qinghua Real Estate, Yi'an Pharmaceutical, AY Clothing, Very Coke, KFC Fast Food Chain, Canahua Insurance Company, McDonald's Fast Food Chain, Meiya Media, Five Star Tobacco, Jiahua Paper, Los Angeles Mining Group, Anhua Electric Group, Amway Shipyard, Longan Aircraft Company, Fox Department Store Chain, United Commercial Shipping Company, etc., all of which can be among the top ten in their respective industries.
Of course, during the war, many industries were inevitably affected, such as real estate, clothing, electrical appliances, etc., which were hit harder, and some even restricted production or changed to the production of munitions, but other industries such as medicine, convenience food, tobacco, engine, shipbuilding, machinery, minerals and other industries had an explosive increase, especially in the recent series of deals with Nanhua, the technical patents of aircraft and tanks were designated to the Chinese Group.
In the middle of the meeting, Shen Fengdao walked in and handed An Yi a message several pages thick. An Yi glanced at it casually, and did not interrupt the meeting, but continued to talk eloquently:
"Our next step is to base ourselves on the United States and try to expand our political and economic influence. According to the statistics provided by Zhang Xi, as of the end of last year, the economic strength of our Chinese-funded capital accounted for only 1 percent of the total economic share of the United States.
"We have worked hard for almost 10 years for this one percent, and this time, taking advantage of the east wind of the world war, we will continue to strengthen our advantages in our respective industries, and strive to double or quadruple this figure by the end of the war, and the proportion of the economy will reach 2 or even 4 percent.
"The domestic industry and economy are now in good condition, and the development has basically entered the high-speed track, compared with the United States, the main reason is that the scale of production is far behind. However, we have time to catch up, and we can hope that we will gradually narrow the gap by pooling the resources of the whole of China, Indochina, Siberia, Central Asia, West Asia, and India, which has most of the resources of the Americas, especially now that we control Persia and own the oil fields there.
"Of course, for quite a long time, we are all chasers, in order to avoid arousing the hostility of the Americans, the entertainment and media organizations we have should try their best to exaggerate the friendship between the United States and China, for example, this time we rescued the Philippine American troops, we can gradually carry out publicity, first in the form of novels, biographies, interviews and other award-winning essays, in newspapers and magazines to publicize with great fanfare, and then launch a series of radio dramas and movies, so that the impression of Nanhua saving the American children will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Let's never forget that in addition to being optimistic about its profits, our original intention to enter the media industry was mainly due to its huge influence on the people. ”
As the president of Meiya Media, Lin Xiaotong knew that these words were mainly aimed at himself, nodded seriously, and then added: "With the increasing popularity of television in American society, we have opened cable and wireless television stations on the Meiya Broadcasting Network, and I think it may be a good idea to shoot it into a TV series." ”
An Yi said appreciatively: "This proposal is good and very constructive!" In short, everyone should brainstorm and use their brains more. In order for us Chinese to fully integrate into mainstream American society, we must change the prejudice of white people against us, and this will be a long-term process. As long as there is a day when we Chinese can also participate in the election of the president of the United States in a bright and bright manner, then this goal can be basically achieved! ”
An Yi's words caused a heated discussion among the high-level leaders of the Huaqing Society who attended the meeting.
Not long after that, An Yi announced the adjournment of the meeting. Lin Xudong knew that if there was no major event, Shen Fengdao would not interrupt the meeting, and knew in his heart that An Yi might leave Los Angeles soon, so he deliberately fell behind, and after the others dispersed, he asked An Yi who was in deep thought:
"Xiao Yi, when will your marriage with Xiaotong and Xiaoran be handled? Although the old man is in China, he also called to pay attention to this matter. He said it would be best to have a Western-style wedding in the United States first, and then go back to Guangdong for a Chinese-style wedding...... What do you think? ”
An Yi was figuring out the specific terms of the draft "United Nations Declaration" formulated by the US State Department, and when he heard Lin Xudong's question, he hurriedly said:
"Everything is subject to the arrangement of the fourth brother, I have no opinion. Tomorrow morning, I will rush to Washington, D.C., where Churchill has already arrived two or three days, and President Roosevelt has asked me to go back. It is estimated that after a series of meetings, it is already May and June. Before returning to China, I married Xiaotong and Xiaoran.
"Fourth brother, I'm very busy now, I don't have time to prepare for the wedding, everything has to be arranged by you, when the wedding is completed, I will return to China with Xiaotong and Xiaoran, take them to see Chu'er and Yun'er, and then go back to Lin Village to see the old patriarch. If possible, I would like to mobilize the people of Lincun and move all of them to Nanhua...... A large piece of undeveloped land in the eastern suburbs of the new capital was left by me for the old folks of Lin Village, and the old patriarch went to see it in person, and then broke ground and built it. ”
Lin Xudong was very satisfied: "It's so good. Now all the young and strong people in Lin Village are working hard, and there are only more than 1,000 old and weak people in the suburbs of Guangzhou, and I can't rest assured. If you move to the suburbs of Xinjing, it will naturally be different, at least you don't have to change the boss in Guangdong and Guangzhou every time, and your heart will beat once. ”
"Don't worry about that!"
An Yi smiled slightly: "No matter who is in power, you have to sell me An Yi's thin noodles." From 27 years to the present, the Guangdong regime has undergone several changes, from Ren Gong, Zhang Xianghua, Chen Bolan to Yu Yuqi, who does not respectfully offer Lin Cun as a bodhisattva? The reason why I want to move Lin Village to Xinjing is mainly because it is good to take care of it nearby! ”
Lin Xudong knew that An Yi's words were not arrogant.
Who doesn't know that An Yi is a person who will be repaid? At the beginning, He Yingqin was the No. 2 person in the party-state, he dared to beat He Yingqin in front of the staff headquarters, not to mention that now An Yi's soldiers are strong and strong, and the An Jiajun led by him has become the most powerful warlord group among the Chinese, and he has to weigh the consequences of angering An Yi.
"So—"
Lin Xudong pondered for a moment and made arrangements: "Xiaotong and Xiaoran won't accompany you to Washington!" They had to stay in Los Angeles to take care of the group's affairs and make a handover. I don't know how long it will take to return to China this time, and the few companies they run can't afford to delay!
"In addition, according to the customs of our ancestors, men and women cannot be together before marriage, and we are abroad, although we don't pay much attention to this, but it's okay to avoid it a little. Besides, they can choose a wedding dress for themselves and marry themselves beautifully! ”
"Okay!"
An Yi smiled and nodded: "I still say the same thing, everything is arranged by the fourth brother!" ”
