Chapter 1360 Strength is not afraid of challenges (I)

On the night of August 8, wind, rain, thunder and lightning were combined. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The hour hand was already pointing to eleven o'clock, and the small conference hall on the third floor of Nanjing General Hospital was brightly lit.

In the evening, An Yi had been released from the drug closure treatment, and his body regained consciousness, but he suddenly gained control of his body, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, and his limbs had no strength, so Xiao Jiu carried him to the third floor, Shen Fengdao took it and carried it to the wheelchair, and then Feng Jieyun and Ou Chuer, who rushed to Nanjing for a meeting, pushed the wheelchair to the conference hall.

At this moment, in the conference hall, Lao Shoudao, Zhu Peide, Zhan Huanqi, Zhang Hongluan, Zhang Cunzhuang, Shi Zhen and other high-level leaders of the Southwest Alliance gathered, Zhou Chongan, general manager of Jiangnan Group, He Jing, general manager of Oriental Group, Zhou Tiance, representative of Nanyang European-style Foundation, Ma Zhiyuan, representative of North American Huaqing Society, Feng Zhihe, representative of Hong Xingshe, and Zheng Jun, representative of Hong Kong South China Group, were present.

When the whole party and the whole army were counting their families, reorganizing their armaments and preparing for an all-out war of resistance, the Southwest Military Alliance also began to examine its own strength. In this contest that is related to the life and death of the country and the nation, we can only be invincible by understanding our own situation and formulating the next policy plan for the next step.

He first reviewed the arduous course of the development and growth of the An Jiajun from scratch over the years, and systematically summarized the current economic and military construction of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and then each representative spoke separately.

Zhou Tiance, the representative of the Nanyang European-style consortium, stood up first, bowed to An Yi, and nodded to everyone in the conference room: "Uncle, miss, madam, seniors, I was entrusted by the boss to attend this meeting, the boss said that the entire Ou Consortium throughout Nanyang, South Asia, Europe and North America 5 million employees, will be China's strong backing for the War of Resistance, if necessary, he will not hesitate to destroy his family to serve the country, no regrets."

"Since the establishment and development of the Ou's consortium in Nanyang in 25 years, we have launched hundreds of patented products, among which the huge profits of sulfonamide drugs have made the group develop rapidly. At that time, sulfonamide tablets and sulfonamide injection were the only special drugs that could treat pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, dysentery, gunshot wounds, inflammation and suppuration, etc., and we were the only ones in the world who had patents.

"In just over two years, the group's assets have reached hundreds of millions of dollars. Although during this period, the Group successively invested in the construction of shoe factories, rubber factories, bicycle factories, tire factories, bearing factories, automobile assembly plants, motorcycle factories, tractor factories and pharmaceutical factories producing sulfonamides and quinine tablets in Nanyang, the Group's business in Nanyang still grew at an explosive rate and gradually expanded its business scope.

"Later, after the Xiangxi Pharmaceutical Research Institute obtained the patent of penicillin and developed the method of large-scale production of penicillin, our European group pharmaceutical factory is the only production plant in Asia authorized in addition to the three pharmaceutical factories in China, and now everyone is not as mysterious about penicillin as before, but at that time, this drug is the only drug to deal with hemolytic streptococcal infection, pneumococcal infection, anthrax, tetanus, syphilis, leptospirosis, relapsing fever, diphtheria and many other incurable diseases, known as the omnipotent miracle drug, The black market once reached a high price of $5,000 a piece, and you can imagine how big the windfall profits are.

"In the past few years, the group has used surplus funds to open banks in various parts of Nanyang, providing deposit and loan business, and now Nanyang Bank has become the largest commercial bank in Southeast Asia, at the same time, the group has acquired rubber plantations, reclamation farms, spice plantations and coal, iron, tin and other mines, and during the economic crisis, acquired many bankrupt ocean-going fleets in the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, the British Straits Settlements, Burma, India and other places, plus the purchase of 10,000-ton cargo ships from the United States, The group has set up a huge fleet of 64 bulk carriers, 52 container ships, 71 passenger ships and 69 oil tankers, which has made the resources of various enterprises within the group complement each other and greatly save costs. In addition, we also have more than 100 ocean-going fishing vessels, from the eastern Indian Ocean, the western Pacific Ocean to catch marine fish, so that our seafood processing plant, condiment factory, canned food factory and other industries around the ocean fishery have a sufficient supply, our canning factory produced a series of canned seafood products swept the world, a large number of dried seafood and canned fish transported to southern Sichuan, but also partially solved the problem of malnutrition.

"What greatly encouraged the group is that thanks to my uncle's guidance, our geological exploration team has discovered large oil fields in the Dutch East Indies and the Indochina Peninsula, especially the discovery of the Minas oil field, which has brought a steady stream of income to the group. Fearing that the British and Dutch governments would take advantage of it, the group adopted the form of cooperation with the Rockefeller consortium of the United States, in which we would invest in advance and provide oil workers, and the Rockefeller consortium would organize the exploitation and after-sales service. Although we only own 30 percent of the oil fields, we quickly turned oil into wealth through the huge sales network of the Rockefeller consortium, and at the same time, we also took advantage of this to get closer to the Rockefeller consortium and avoid unnecessary intervention by the British and Dutch colonial governments. Most of the oil used in the country now comes from the large Minas oil field.

"Now, in addition to having three large copper mines on the island of Dutch New Guinea, the group also has two nickel mines in the Philippines and two tin mines in the British Straits Settlements, and at the same time, for the needs of the group's own development, since the beginning of 32, the group has carried out capital expansion in South Asia, acquired four large iron mines in the north of the Portuguese colony of Goa, and invested in the construction of four large iron and steel enterprises with an annual output of more than 500,000 tons of steel in southern India. Subsequently, large military factories were built in India and Myanmar capable of producing a full range of weapons, which can produce all weapons and equipment, including pistols, rifles, light and heavy machine guns, grenades and cannons. Scott's 50,000 revolvers, Lee. 100,000 Enfield Type IV rifles, 10,000 Brown light machine guns, 5,000 Vickers Mark I heavy machine guns, and 100,000 M36 grenades. The only pity is that since these production lines are purchased from the military factories of the bankrupt British colonies, all of which produce British-made weapons, in order to adapt to the future war between China and Japan, these arsenals are undergoing technological upgrades and modifications to make them suitable for China's 7.62 caliber bullets.

"After years of development, the Ou Group has become the largest industrial group in Southeast Asia, with the largest number of employees and 200,000 employees officially registered in the colonies alone, plus a large number of farms built in the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, French Annam, the British Channel and other colonies under various names, absorbing Chinese refugees who have gone south since 918, the total number of employees has exceeded 5 million. The boss relied on the strong influence of the group to extensively unite the overseas Chinese in Nanyang, and organized the "Nanyang Overseas Chinese Alliance" and the "Nanyang Anti-Japanese Salvation Association", which became a force that could not be ignored to support China's anti-Japanese war. ”

Zhou Tiance's words caused bursts of applause in the conference room, and with the material supply of the Ou Consortium, everyone had further confidence in the next Sino-Japanese war.

If Zhou Tiance's words boosted the morale of the Southwest Alliance with An Jiajun as the core, then the speech of Feng Zhihe, the representative of the Hongxing Society, solved the worries of the Southwest Alliance.

Feng Zhihe once served as the head of the Hongxing Society in Bonitangkou, and because of his outstanding performance, he has been promoted to the economic minister of the society. In fact, the Hongxing Society can be said to be a community and economic organization with patriotic ideas, at the beginning, Ah Biao took people to Hong Kong to work hard, but it was just a small fight, barely making a living, but with a large number of veterans of the An Jia Army who had received professional military skills training to join this organization, the Hong Xing Society was inevitably tied to the chariot of the An Jia Army, showing an explosive expansion momentum.

Hung Hing She, which initially owned only a few transit terminals in Hong Kong, built the largest transit warehouse in Hong Kong in Kowloon Tong under the guidance of Au Yiu Ting, and also established an ocean-going fleet to and from Shanghai, Ningbo, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Nanyang. Most of the cargo ships in this fleet of more than 1,000 tons flew the British flag, and then with the addition of a large number of ships purchased by the United States, routes to Nanjing, Nanchang, Wuhan, Yichang, Chongqing, Syria and other places were opened, and its influence in Hong Kong was second only to that of the South China Group, which was coming later.

Under the cover of these superficial businesses, there are also heroin, ecstasy, methamphetamine and other drug smuggling businesses that countries do not pay much attention to in this era, and gradually extend their tentacles to Southeast Asia, India, and Europe, and at the same time join hands with the Sanxin Company in Shanghai and the Huaqing Society in North America to monopolize more than 80 percent of the global drug market.

As the business gets bigger and bigger, there are more and more fights with underworld organizations in various places, and the personal safety of the members of the society is seriously threatened, in this case, Hongxing Society introduced a large number of retired soldiers from the An Jiajun, organized an extremely terrifying armed force, swept the underworld in Southeast Asia, and established branches and halls in the entire Nanyang region, attracting overseas Chinese to join the association, forming a security company armed to the teeth, and at the same time buying land and rubber plantations from the colonial government and local aborigines. Cultivation is carried out by immigrants from areas that have been plagued by internal disasters.

After the 918 Incident, under the joint operation of Zhou Chong'an, Ou Yaoting and Zhang Xi, the efforts of immigrants to move south increased, and the influence of Hongxingshe also expanded rapidly. In the past ten years, Hongxingshe has resettled more than 3.5 million refugees, making it the second largest group in the Nanyang region after the European-style group.

In order to strengthen the control over the members of the association, a training camp was built in the Lantau area that was the size of the Xiangxi non-commissioned officer training base of the Anjia Army, and professional instructors were sent by the Syrian Non-commissioned Officer School to teach, and the training subjects included almost all categories of the non-commissioned officer school, and even radio, special operations, linguistics and other subjects were also taught. Ideological instructors and other positions.

The members who join the Hongxing Society must first be Chinese, and they must receive systematic training in the base, and they can only officially join after passing the examination. The training and examination included targeted subjects such as literacy, fighting, shooting, teamwork, and mastery of the Chinese languages of the Nanyangs. The brothers who have been promoted have to return to the training camp again to receive a higher level of training, so to this day, no matter how the Hongxing Society develops and grows, An Jiajun still firmly holds the soul of the entire society in his hands.

After 12 years of development, the Hung Hing Society has become the de facto first association in Southeast Asia, Hanoi, Saigon, Bangkok, Yangon, Sin Chau, Palembang, Jakarta, Surabaya, Majin, Makassar, Manila and other cities, all of which have been infiltrated by the Hung Hing Society, and the local underworld organizations have almost been wiped out, and the rest can only survive by selling themselves to the Hung Hing Society.

Hong Xingshe has made huge profits by selling drugs and counterfeit money, and smuggling arms, cigarettes, and medicines. Most of this money was remitted to the Southwest Bank through the Nanyang Bank, providing a steady stream of funds for the development of the An Jiajun and its allies.

Because from the very beginning, An Yi noticed that once China's coastal areas were attacked by the Japanese army, China's foreign communication routes would be interrupted, which would lead to the exhaustion of strategic materials and could not be sustained, so he specially instructed Hong Xingshe to increase the corrosion of officials in the French Annam colony and influence the colonial government's decision-making.

Due to the competition that emerged after Burma built the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and because of its own desire to expand trade and make greater profits, under the offensive of money and beauty of the Hong Xingshe, the French colonial authorities passed the construction plan of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway in three or four years, and after three years of continuous construction, the railway was completed in April this year, and the 854-kilometer railway from Haiphong in Vietnam to Kunming, Yunnan Province was completed as a double-track railway, and the transportation capacity between French Annam and southwest China increased sharply several times.

At the same time, the high-standard roads of the 240 highways in Hanoi and Jiangcheng, which were built by the colonial government of French Annam with great efforts, were widened again, and the sand and gravel roads were all paved with asphalt, and the water transportation capacity was greatly increased due to the widening and deepening of the river by the colonial government.

All this has led to the fact that French Annan has become the largest trading partner in southwest China, and it has also made the French colony of Annan obtain high profits from border trade every year, and has become a cash cow for the French government, which is doubly cherished and cared for, which is also an important reason why France did not join the United States, Britain and other countries after the outbreak of the "poison gas bomb incident". And An Jiajun also firmly believes that with common interests, France will be able to resist the pressure exerted by the first side and persist in cooperation for a long time before the outbreak of the European war.

Now, goods from Nanyang and all over the world can be continuously transported to Chinese mainland by simply transporting them to various port cities along the coast of Vietnam, and along the railway line in French Annam, many soldiers of the Anjia Army who take off their military uniforms and change into civilian clothes usually speak broken French and local native language, fight fiercely, collect protection money, and do the business of selling drugs, counterfeit money and contraband, and ordinary underworld members, but no one knows their main task, But it is silently guarding the safety of these transportation routes.

With the end of Feng Zhihe's explanation, it once again aroused warm applause from the audience.
