Chapter 323: It's all for profit
At the beginning of April, the magic capital is already a good time for the sun to shine and the spring is bright.
The air with a strong spring scent wafts with the fragrance of new buds. Busy crowds of people in the city rush along the road, constantly rushing for the day's work.
The indifferent looks on the faces of the citizens had long since disappeared at this moment, replaced by high-spirited and excited faces.
In my spare time, in the factory, in the teahouse, in the restaurant, in all the places where there are people. Everyone was talking about the exciting battle situation on the front line.
After the start of the Polaris operation plan, the situation of the battle developed surprisingly smoothly. The citizens, who were still worried, were already excited by the victories.
All major newspapers, magazines, and radio stations are reporting on every day where the front-line troops have recaptured and how many enemy troops have been destroyed. The words full of praise are as if the country's army has stood at the pinnacle of the world overnight!
has been suppressed for too long, and for nearly a hundred years before, it has been repeatedly defeated and reparated for land cession. It wasn't until the news of this great victory in the foreign war came that everyone burst out with enthusiasm that had been suppressed for nearly a hundred years!
This war has not only achieved great results, but also brought a lot of opportunities for all.
Orders for various military supplies, coupled with the construction of infrastructure in various places, have brought the entire country's industry and economy into a thriving scene.
Numerous factories, companies, and shops have sprung up one after another, producing a large number of materials and creating a large number of jobs. In Modu, as long as you are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, you can always find a job that pays well.
This is an era full of opportunities, and as long as you are willing to work hard, it is possible to achieve success!
Everything will be fine!
The warm sunlight poured into Gao Yang's office through the clean and bright glass, and the warm sunlight shone on Gao Yang, who was standing by the window and smoking. Brought out a long figure.
Gao Yang, who was standing quietly, was rarely not wearing a military uniform, he was dressed in a decent formal suit, his coat had been taken off, two buttons had been unbuttoned on his pure white shirt, the sleeves on both sides had been rolled up, and his tall body stood straight.
A slightly furrowed brow, a resolute and expressionless face, and a hint of irritability in his eyes all showed that he was in a state of anger.
Not long ago, he attended a rare dinner party, which was attended by diplomats from various countries in the magic capital. In the face of great pressure from the British, calling friends is a must. Diplomacy is such a thing. Even if Gao Yang doesn't like it, he has to do it.
Although he didn't have much hope, he also understood that all countries were not optimistic about him. However, the performance of foreign officials from various countries made Gao Yang very dissatisfied.
Except for the Dutch, who had a clear attitude and were ready to follow the British directly. The rest of the country started Tai Chi in front of Gao Yang.
The true neutrality of the Americans. Before the two sides decided the winner, they sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and watched the two tigers fight. Their goal has already been achieved, and now they just wait to see the results.
The French, with a strong navy. And the Italians, who have always been wall-cutting, but not weak in navy, also showed a clear inclination towards the British. All kinds of hints and invitations to Gao Yang are regarded as ignorance!
Although they were also dissatisfied with the fact that the British occupied most of the interests. However, let them follow Gao Yang to turn their faces with the British, they don't have the guts yet.
After all. Today's France has long since lost the blood and courage of the Napoleonic era! Working with the British to defend vested interests is what they want to do now. For Gao Yang, the challenger, they disagree with it in their hearts.
This is understandable, compared to the fame accumulated by the British over the centuries and the great power to rule the world. It's just that Gao Yang, which has only risen rapidly in recent years, has no advantage no matter how you look at it. In this case. Anyone would choose to side with the British, and it is very rare not to fall into the ground.
What especially made Gao Yang angry was that the French still wanted to rob with fire.
They made many demanding demands on Gao Yang. territorial. Political, economic interests and many other requirements.
After so much rudeness, the French went so far as to say that it was only a condition for them not to act with the British!
Gao Yang was happy. Directly threw down a few sentences of decision: "It's okay to want benefits, everyone wants it." It's just that you can show your strength! If you can get the benefits just by playing lip service, then don't waste everyone's time. ”
He's not one to be afraid of! In modern time and space, there is no force that dares to make a move against the French, let alone a side with great strength? The cautious Gao Yang is worried about the French.
This boring meal ended up unhappily.
The Western powers were almost one-sidedly on the side of the British. As for how many countries are willing to follow the British and shoot directly, it is not clear.
However, one thing that everyone understands is that once Gao Yang shows his defeat, all the powers who are still watching will pounce on him and bite like hungry wolves that smell blood!
The quiet scene in the office was quickly shattered.
"It's strange that the Japanese would support you?" Yuan Dian said in a very surprised tone. Anyway, he was an enemy who had just fought, and he was beaten badly. How do you turn your face and become a good buddy?
At the dinner party just now, the Japanese ambassador vaguely expressed Japan's willingness to support Gaoyang's war against Britain! This makes the origin very difficult to understand. They are enemies of life and death!
Gao Yang crossed his arms, leaned against the window, and said, "They are not fools, once I am defeated." How could the British, who had returned to the Far East with endless might, let them go? ”
Feeling the faint heat of the sun on his face, he turned away from the window, raised his eyebrows, and added, "Besides, their domestic mines, customs and everything are mortgaged to the British, and they still owe a huge debt that they can't pay off for many years." They want me to win so I can eat it in my mouth. We only have a temporary alignment of interests. They also understood what it meant to have eggs under the nest, and they supported me for their own sake. ”
Gao Yang directly pointed out the intentions of the Japanese. After all, with the current situation of the Japanese, they can't even pay the annual interest!
They want to turn over, and the only way is the collapse of the biggest creditors, the British!
"No wonder the Japanese were willing to put warships and military ports so easily. Production lines of large-caliber artillery shells, all kinds of naval logistics materials are sold to you. I thought they couldn't care about anything for money, but they were supporting you in a different way. Yuan said in a tone of sudden realization.
The origin is now understood, it is obviously an enemy of life and death, and he knows that Gao Yang urgently needs these important materials. But the Japanese were still willing to sell to Gaoyang, and it turned out that it was because of this.
Gao Yang snuffed out his cigarette, went to the wine cabinet and poured a glass of whiskey and took a sip. He said with a smile, "It's actually very simple between countries, everyone is chasing interests." In the case of the same interests, any kind of hatred can be temporarily put down. ”
"Are you willing to accept the help of the Japanese? They also have bad intentions, right? Yuan asked softly.
The Japanese are taking advantage of Goyo. Although it costs a lot of things, it is all about money, and the Japanese will not need it at all for the time being. It's not that Gao Yang doesn't understand the minds of the Japanese.
"Of course I did. There is free cannon fodder to use, why not? I know very well what the Japanese are thinking. I just want to take this opportunity to rise again. It's just that I'm not a fool, I get carried away after being flattered for a few words, even if they pretend to be pitiful now, I can't let them go! Gao Yang sat down on the sofa. Shaking the wine glass lightly in his hand, he said with a cold expression.
Cocking his legs, his gaze gradually became indifferent, and he said in a cold voice, "Asia." There can only be one hegemon! ”
Japan, Hiroshima, Kure Naval Shipyard.
Today is the day when the aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga were launched ahead of schedule. During this time, the Japanese workers, who had been working in three shifts, almost all rushed to the vicinity of the dock to watch.
The refit of the two warships did not come to an end. Just because under great pressure from the British had to go into the water in advance, preparing for sea trials. At the moment, there are still a large number of staff on the ship who are still working.
When it's time to get out into the water. The huge dock began to fill with water. The level of the rolling water rose at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and soon it was level with the sea outside the dock.
The dockyard door was slowly opened, and the tugboat slowly drove the huge battleship into the depths of the sea.
The Japanese workers on the shore had a variety of complicated expressions in their eyes.
These two battleships are the pride of their country. At this moment, he is about to sail to the sea to participate in an unprecedented battle that is about to decide the fate of the entire world!
But! It's not your own country's navy that drives them! It is a life-and-death enemy who single-handedly threw his country into the abyss!
This made the hearts of these workers, who had to survive this harsh winter by working for the enemy, very entangled.
If it weren't for the job, they and their families would be like most people in this country who are struggling in the middle of a brutal winter that has not yet fully passed.
However, working for their enemies and helping them to continue to strengthen themselves is difficult for these workers to accept.
At the moment, these workers are entangled.
"Okay, Saito-kun, don't look like you can't say goodbye. We should be thankful to have such a job to help our family through this difficult winter! Naval power engineer Genta Ogasawara reached out and patted his colleague on the side, and said with a chuckle.
Minoru Saito glanced up at him, a look of anger flashing in his eyes. Reaching out and tightening the military coat on his body, which was too wide for his figure, he frowned, and ignored him.
Ogasawara Genta saw his look, grinned, and said, "Saito-kun, I don't want to do this either. It's just that we have defeated after all, what else can we do? This is the right of the strong. ”
The Japanese worship the strong, and Gao Yang defeated them with dignity. The Japanese are more afraid and envious under their unwillingness! (To be continued......)
