War requires resources, and Japan, an island nation, is itself a country that lacks resources. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If you lack resources, it's okay to have money in your hands, but it's a big deal to spend money to buy them.

However, the current Japanese economy is in dire straits, and the government has no money in its hands.

If the so-called things are gone, go and buy them, this is what the rich say, and the children of the poor families can only lie on the shop window and drool at the dazzling array of good things in the store.

The global catastrophe of 1929, triggered by the economic crisis in the United States, is still far away, and there is no light in sight.

It's not just little Japan that is tightening its belts and having a hard time, it's the rest of the world that's pretty much the same.

At this time, China was quite good, because the depreciation of the silver dollar made China's export goods very competitive.

Otherwise, the Second World War would have finally broken out, and the European economic crisis would have lasted until the late thirties of the twentieth century, with no signs of recovery. If they can't go on, they will find something to do to divert domestic political and economic contradictions.

Thus, the war broke out.

In addition to the geographical location, the main reason why the Japanese army invaded the three northeastern provinces first was to covet the rich mineral resources in the northeast.

How big is the occupation zone in the northeast, and the area is almost the same as a Japanese country.

The Northeast is also a resource-rich region, containing coal, the main fuel of the time, and iron ore.

And these resources are precisely what is lacking on the soil of Japan.

Today, the Japanese army has occupied the northeast.

However, the abundant resources contained therein have not been exploited so far.

Because, when the Northern Anti-Japanese Army withdrew, it wreaked havoc, the mining shafts were blown up, the railways were demolished, the cities were destroyed, and the people in the Northeast ran out......

Nima, I can't say, the Japanese go up to the emperor and down to the cabinet, and they have a lot of headaches about this.

What to do?

Seeing that the resources of the Northeast cannot be exploited so far, you say that you are not angry.

It's like a child, looking at the fruit on the tree, very greedy.

However, I can't reach it if I want to eat it!

If you really want to eat, you must find a way to find a ladder to climb up.

Today's little Japan is that child, and it can't watch the resources of the Northeast go wasted there, and it must be exploited and utilized.

No, the Japanese emperor has begun to urge, and action must be taken.

In accordance with the emperor's decree, the Japanese cabinet made a decision to develop the resources of Tohoku after urgent study.

The cabinet certainly does not have the financial resources, but the government can mobilize domestic companies to develop in Tohoku.

The problem is that Japanese companies are not unaware of the situation in Tohoku.

The Japanese Kwantung Army brazenly launched the September 18 Incident, and the war raged in the northeast, and the Imperial Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, and it is said that it had lost several first-class divisions. Fortunately, in the end, the Japanese Empire defeated the other side, and Tohoku was already controlled by the Empire.

However, the war almost destroyed the Northeast, and the three eastern provinces were destroyed in a mess.

In this case, will enterprises be willing to invest in the development of Northeast China?

Obviously, most companies are reluctant to participate in this so-called development.

First, the war is not over yet, where there may be a war, and now it is too risky to invest in the Northeast, and it is possible that the money invested in it will be wasted.

Second, if the damage in the Northeast is too serious, it is estimated that the amount of money invested will be huge, which needs to be treated carefully.

In view of this situation, there are very few Japanese companies willing to participate in the development of Tohoku.

If you don't want to go, you can't go, the Japanese emperor and the cabinet have made a decision, and the resources of Northeast China must be developed.

As a result, you have made great efforts to mobilize enterprises to participate in development investment.

With the promise of profit, and even threatened, all kinds of means were used, and it was not easy to mobilize more than a dozen Japanese companies.

The Japanese Cabinet sent Mr. Noda as the person in charge of the project inspection to lead some government officials and representatives of various enterprises to Mukden Province, and this time he was accompanied by some well-known companies such as Mitsui Trading Co., Ltd. and Miki Co., Ltd., which were mobilized by the Cabinet.

The Japanese Cabinet attached great importance to the inspection and asked the Japanese War Department to cooperate, and the Japanese War Department sent Ishihara Waner Daisa, who was familiar with Mukden affairs, to cooperate with the inspection on behalf of the military.

Originally, the three eastern provinces were most densely populated in Fengtian and had the most abundant mineral resources.

Coupled with the various enterprises founded by Zhang Xueliang and his son in recent years, Fengtian should be the most valuable place for development.

Unfortunately, Noda and his entourage set off from Dalian and traveled all the way north, and soon found that the further north they went, the fewer people became.

After passing through Haicheng, as far as the eye can see, it is almost a desolate no-man's land.

Along the way, everyone's hearts began to become heavy.

Whether it is Mitsui Trading Company or Miki Co., Ltd., they are all too familiar with Mukden Province.

In the past, their business operated on this land all year round, can you not be familiar with it?

Now, facing such a desolate Mukden region, Noda and his party are shocked.

Nima, is this still the original rich Northeast?

Desolate and ghostly!

This canonical destruction is really a big deal, and it can make so many people abandon their homes and move to the north.

It doesn't matter if you're gone, you can't do such sabotage.

The houses in the countryside were completely destroyed, and all the urban facilities were destroyed, including the original factory buildings and equipment.

Whether it is Noda or Ishihara Wan'er, although they already know some of the conditions in Mukden Province, and the surrounding area of Mukden is now a no-man's land, they are still shocked to see it with their own eyes.

What is the charm of Fengtian, which will make the people of the Northeast willing to follow him, which is a bit incredible.

Saburo Yokoki, the representative of Mitsui Trading Co., frowned, and said, "The extent of the damage here is more serious than expected, and almost all the facilities have suffered devastating damage. Moreover, there are no human resources here, and it is almost impossible to resume production here. ”

"Yes, although I knew something before I came, I never expected it to be so desolate, and there was not even a single figure in the entire large area of Fengtian Province. If we don't have human resources, we can't do anything, and the government has to solve human resources first, otherwise Miki Co., Ltd. will not be able to invest in this area. ”

Koizumi, the representative of Miki Co., Ltd., also had a sad face, and before coming, although he expected that it would be a little difficult, and the conditions in the northeast would be worse, he really didn't expect it to be so bad.

The money in the pocket of no one company comes from the tide of the sea, although it is said that in response to the call of the empire, entrepreneurs should make due dedication, but if they really do this kind of loss-making business, most shareholders may not be able to pass this hurdle.

This is not an investment, this is a play with money?

At this time, everyone felt that there was no need to continue the investigation.

It's impossible for your own company to put money into it, and you can't get through it at all.

Ishihara smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, it doesn't matter if there is no one here, you can immigrate from the peninsula." The Imperial Army is not a vegetarian, isn't it a piece of cake to catch a group of laborers? ”

"Ishihara-kun, worthy of being an outstanding figure in the military, quickly thought of a solution. Those lowly people on the peninsula can't just let them eat and work as coolies. ”

When Saburo Yokoki and Koizumi heard this, they grabbed laborers from the peninsula, which was also a solution.

As long as the Kwantung Army can solve the problem of human resources, the northeast can still be invested.

The group continued to investigate, and came to the place where they used to mine, and looked at the place where there were still mines, all of which were in ruins.

What a sad reality that the original mine has long since been razed to the ground!

Back then, they invested a huge amount of money in this area to dig up the minerals in this area, and many of the mines have become large-scale, and they are like hens laying eggs.

Now that it's all gone, can it not make people feel distressed?

Flesh hurts, absolute flesh aches!

Not only does the flesh hurt, but the eggs also hurt!

This Feng Tian is really a demon, you just blow up the property on the ground, why blow up the mine?

This is obvious, harming others is not good for oneself.

Is that what Confucius taught you?

Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you, have you forgotten?

Nima, this is really a development.

Everything has to be done from scratch!

The old nose has money, this business is not easy to do.

And that's not the worst thing, after the minerals are mined, do they have to be piled up here?

The mined mineral materials always have to be transported, right?

The problem is, there are no railways here!

If this thing is not transported by rail, it is simply unimaginable, and it can't be carried away by people on their shoulders, right?

It is unimaginable how many materials can be transported by one person by relying on people to carry them on their shoulders!

What kind of thing do you say this sealing is a good railway, why do you want to dismantle it, doesn't this create evil?

With this crucial issue in mind, both Yokogi and Koizumi took it seriously, and it was impossible to do anything without solving the railway problem.

"Noda-kun, Mitsui Trading Co., Ltd. has no problem investing in the mines, but the premise is that the railroad here must be connected first, so that supplies can easily travel between the ports. Otherwise, nothing can be done. ”

"Well...... this"

Noda was in trouble, thinking that the so-called destruction of the Northeast Railway was only a part of the section, and it was enough to repair it, but when he saw the railway site, there was not even a single track in the bareness, and the entire railway line was completely destroyed.

To restore the smooth operation of the railway, the project will be huge.

Do you expect the government to invest in rebuilding the railway?

There are no doors, and the Japanese government has no money in its hands!

Although the Japanese army occupied most of the northeast, it was a pity that they did not even occupy a little oil and water. Not only that, but the Japanese cabinet spent a lot of real money on this war.

This is really a transaction that only invests and has no returns, and it is not cost-effective!

Instead of benefiting from the war, the government is throwing money into it as if it were facing a bottomless pit.

Therefore, Noda, a petty bureaucrat, is too low to answer this question.

The question is, if you don't answer this question, won't other companies invest?

No one is a fool, there is no convenient transportation conditions, how much money the enterprise invests has to lose money, the more it invests, the more it loses, and no one will do this kind of loss-making business.

"On the issue of railways, I think the cabinet will consider it."

Noda can only fool around first, because he is only a small section leader, and it doesn't matter if he says it.

As for whether the government will consider investing in the construction of railways, that is not his responsibility.

Several business representatives also knew that Noda's position was too low, and that the scale of the investment in railways was too large, and that the decision would have to be made by the Cabinet.

The group finally arrived at the location of Fengtian City, where is there a city, there is a rubble in front of them, and Fengtian City does not even have half a house.

"This is Mukden, we're not in the wrong place, are we?"

Both Saburo Yokoki and Koizumi were stunned by the tragic situation in front of them, staring at them with wide eyes and not knowing what to say.

I had already heard before I came that Mukden had been destroyed in the war, and according to the general thinking, it was just a bit more seriously damaged. After all, Fengtian City is a city of considerable scale, and it doesn't matter if some of it is destroyed, there will always be a part of the city remaining.

This sister, where is the general destruction, it is simply the complete erasure of Fengtian City from the earth!

"Fengtian City is completely finished, and there is no value in rebuilding. Rather than rebuilding here, it is more cost-effective to choose another place, and just removing the garbage here is probably a massive project. ”

With a single sentence, Yokoki Saburo completely blocked the idea of rebuilding Fengtian City, and this thing is also a bottomless pit.

At this time, both Yokoki and Koizumi felt that there was really no need to come on this trip.

If you have money, you will make money wherever you invest it, but if you invest here, I'm afraid it's hard to say?

Section Chief Noda also knew that the reconstruction of Mukden City was a bit whimsical, and it was completely possible to choose another location without Mukden.

Since this area is to be developed, it is inevitable that towns will be established.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to rebuild here, you can choose another location. For example, if you're near your mine, as long as it's convenient. ”

Nima, it's all like this, you still want us to invest, you have to figure it out, we're not stupid.

No, you have to find a reason to push it off.

Yokogi said, "Noda-kun, although we also want to respond to the call of the Empire, you can also see the situation here, the conditions are too bad.

In addition, this place is too close to the northern resistance forces, and planes may be sent to bomb it at any time, and the imperial army has not set up an air base here, so it is impossible to protect the normal production and construction of enterprises. ”

Koizumi immediately continued: "It's just that it's too dangerous, not only is the invested property not guaranteed, but it's probably even difficult to say about life." The most important thing is the railway, without which everything is empty talk. ”

Noda looked at Ishihara and hoped he would be able to clear the siege.

There is no way, as a representative of the military department, Ishihara Waner can only come forward to appease: "Rest assured, there will be no problems with the security here, regarding the construction of the airport, the military department has already made arrangements, and the Kwantung Army will ensure the safety of all imperial investors." As for the railways, I think the cabinet will figure it out. ”

Yokogi and Koizumi looked at each other, and they didn't know how to answer with a bitter face. (To be continued.) )
