After a bombing by the U.S. Air Force, not only did Japan's economic system collapse, but also its industrial system collapsed. Even after a large number of buildings collapsed, the way of life of the Japanese people collapsed.

When Yu Sheng arrived in Japan, it was late October 1945. At this time, a failed rice harvest in Japan was a foregone conclusion, and all rice production was only 5.87 million tons. City dwellers are homeless because their homes were blown up by the U.S. Air Force. The homeless people I saw wandering around the streets for the rest of my life were these homeless people. Moreover, these people do not have jobs yet, and there are very few jobs to support their families in the face of Japan's economic collapse. The number of unemployed people in Japan, as well as those who have returned to Japan from overseas, is 13 million.

When Yu Sheng arrived in Japan, the Japanese government's Minister of Finance, speaking at a conference of American journalists, said of the food crisis: "If the current situation in Japan continues, the number of people who will die of hunger and disease in the coming year will reach 10 million." "And implore the Americans to import grain to Japan. Japan's Asahi Shimbun reported: "The threat of death is looming across the country, and people starving to death on the streets are spreading all over the country's streets." ”

The Japanese government's daily ration for ordinary people is still only 300 grams. However, these 300 grams of grain are no longer simple rice or wheat, but mixed with many beans, corn, sweet potatoes and so on. The food is not as good as that of the Chinese people. A pound and a half of sweet potatoes a day is not enough to eat no matter what. Moreover, the Japanese government's "late allocation" and "undermatch" have often occurred, with Tokyo undermatching for 20 consecutive days and Hokkaido undermatching for 70 consecutive days......

In this day and age, starvation is a common occurrence. Under these circumstances, all the hungry Japanese began to frantically search for food. The Japanese government is powerless to control it, and the black market is quietly emerging.

Because the rest of his life came in the name of MacArthur. So, when I arrived in Tokyo, the first thing I did was to meet MacArthur. It stands to reason that in his capacity for the rest of his life, MacArthur had no need to talk about anything with him personally. Even if there is a need for cooperation, there will be subordinates to help solve it.

Therefore, the talks initiated by MacArthur this time seem very strange. The rest of my life was also a little puzzled.

MacArthur was a genius in American military history. He is the youngest brigadier general in the United States, the youngest principal of the West Point Military Academy, and the youngest chief of staff of the United States Army in the history of the United States. His father, Arthur MacArthur II Sr., served as a three-star lieutenant general in the U.S. Army.

In 1899, MacArthur was admitted to the U.S. Army Military Academy, known as West Point. 1903. With a score of 98.43, he graduated from West Point. This achievement not only set a record for the highest graduation score ever at West Point, but it has also been continued to future generations without being broken. Become a veritable top student.

Subsequently, MacArthur rose to the top and was carried by his father straight into the core of the American center. In 1906, he became Theodore Roosevelt's military adjutant and a cadet at the U.S. Army Engineer School. By 1912. By the time Arthur MacArthur II Sr. died of a myocardial infarction, MacArthur was able to stand on his own. Entered the Army General Staff Officer.

A few years later, World War I broke out. MacArthur became chief of staff of the 42nd Infantry Division and went to France to fight in World War I. It turns out that although there are nerds in this world, most of the top students are indeed talents, such as MacArthur. After the end of World War I. MacArthur became Brigadier General for his exploits.

And, after the baptism of war, MacArthur's exploits were also magnified. In 1919, at the age of 39, MacArthur became the youngest principal of the United States Military Academy at West Point. In 1922, he went to the Philippines to serve as commander of the Manila Military Region. In this era, the Philippines is actually one of the puppets of the United States overseas.

1930. MacArthur was sworn in as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army. has become one of the bigwigs of the US military. By 1933, after Roosevelt, who had been a close friend of MacArthur, became president of the United States, MacArthur had become one of the top figures in the US military.

At this time, MacArthur was actually no longer as wise and brave as he used to be. On December 31, 1937, when he became commander-in-chief of the Philippine Army and began to form the Philippine Army, he did not achieve much. Moreover, due to its misjudgment, when Japan attacked the Philippines, it lost its air defense capability, and the Japanese pressed forward step by step. As a last resort, MacArthur had no choice but to flee to Australia with his wife.

However, MacArthur's legacy as a West Point cadet is still there. In the battle with the Japanese, the "island hopping tactic" was proposed. The advantages of this tactic are numerous, as MacArthur himself said: "The practical application of this method of warfare is to avoid a frontal attack with a large number of casualties, that is, to avoid the Japanese strongholds; cut off supply lines so that they can do nothing; It is to isolate their armies and starve them to death on the battlefield. This is the guiding ideology for mobilizing troops and drawing up operational plans. ”

With this tactic, MacArthur quickly leveled the disadvantage of the US military in the Pacific theater and turned the US military from strategic defense to strategic counteroffensive. In 1944, after MacArthur led his subordinates to land on Leyte Island, MacArthur finally cleared himself of the shame of being forced by the Japanese to flee with his wife in embarrassment. ”

Subsequently, MacArthur was appointed commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in Japan by Truman, responsible for the military occupation of Japan and the reconstruction of Japan, and became the emperor of the Japanese.

Such a person's life experience can be regarded as brilliant. It's just that among a large number of official merits, there is no real face of this person. In American propaganda, MacArthur was somewhat false in his loftiness. Only after the rest of his life that he traveled from the afterlife, after reading some declassified materials from the later generations, did he know that this MacArthur was just an ordinary person. Even if he has some talent in military affairs. But he can also be timid, he can make mistakes, and he can be angry. Moreover, his needs were consistently well disguised, and the records of his private life were clean and spotless.

And the rest of his life knew that the Korean War in a few years would exhaust all the aura of this military genius. The army of the Chinese. After a hundred years of weakness, all the honor of this person will be sacrificed to surprise the whole world. So, after meeting MacArthur for the rest of his life, there was no one else, including the Emperor of Japan. Weak qi.

MacArthur, who had read countless people, was amazed. Heart Dao - This Chinese who makes movies is not simple!

After Yu Sheng and MacArthur met, MacArthur did not go around in circles, and directly led the topic to ask Marilyn Monroe to perform for the army, and Yu Sheng's illusion beverage factory to build a factory in Japan.

These two things were originally nothing to talk about. To be able to get such an opportunity was originally unexpected for the rest of my life. Whether it is Marilyn Monroe's performance or the construction of Illusion Drink in Japan, it will bring huge benefits for the rest of your life. It was only after MacArthur brought the conversation to Marilyn Monroe. And said that when he hoped to invite Marilyn Monroe to dinner with him, he suddenly realized for the rest of his life - this MacArthur actually had a heart for Marilyn Monroe!

It stands to reason that this is not too surprising. With Marilyn Monroe's temperament exuding sensitive words, since the appearance of the movie, he is just such a person, and there is no need to disguise. Natural. And other actresses who use sensitive words and body parts as selling points are mostly dull temperament. At best, it's just a pretty doll. At that time, Kennedy was obsessed with Marilyn Monroe to the point that he couldn't do it, and after Marilyn Monroe took a picture of the red fruit calendar, Kennedy hung it in his bedroom.

And after Kennedy became the president of the United States, Marilyn Monroe almost became the first lady of the United States. It is really normal for such a woman to attract MacArthur. And to soak Marilyn Monroe. MacArthur first had to buy off Marilyn Monroe's boss, that is, the rest of his life, the rest of the rich man.

At this point, all the unreasonableness can be regarded as logical. The rest of my life was ridiculous. However, he is not a black-hearted boss, and if Marilyn Monroe really wants to climb up as soon as possible, then clinging to MacArthur is not a bad choice. This opportunity will be given to her for the rest of her life, and then Marilyn Monroe will make her own choice.

Things went well, and the rest of his life made only two small demands on MacArthur. One is that I hope that when Marilyn Monroe performs for the US military, let Li Xianglan accompany her and perform together. On the other hand, when the factory was built, Yu Sheng hoped to use the grain shipped from the United States to offset cash and pay the Japanese who were already hungry.

According to the words of Yu Sheng, "Mr. General, don't refuse me, my ships carrying grain are almost at the port......"

MacArthur agreed to these two demands after a little thought. MacArthur knew Li Xianglan as a person, and also knew his later anti-war ideas and the song "Sad Pacific". This song, now because of its special theme, has been sung in the United States. There's nothing wrong with having an anti-war activist put on a show for the military.

MacArthur also appreciated the decision to use grain to offset wages: "Oh, Yu! You're such a black-hearted boss. You know, what the Japanese lack most nowadays is food. In the United States, the price of food is very low, and even if you add freight, it is not that valuable. With a little bit of worthless food, you can buy a lot of cheap and high-quality labor, which is really a good deal. ”

When he said this, MacArthur was completely like a seasoned businessman, and he had the slightest taste of a general. Yu Sheng smiled, this MacArthur was only half right. The shipload of grain for the rest of his life is not only used to pay wages, but more than half of the grain is prepared for the rest of his life to be used on the black market in exchange for various treasures at low prices.

In this era, almost everything was sold on the Japanese black market. In the face of hunger, everyone chooses to surrender to hunger and food, and the antique calligraphy, paintings, antique jewelry, which were originally treasured and inherited by Japanese people, are sold in large quantities on the black market, but few people take care of them. And the most worthless food has become a sought-after commodity on the black market.

After talking to MacArthur, Yu Sheng made a phone call to the Illusion headquarters in the United States. Ask the illusion side to send a few capable people to build a factory. Then, I called Marilyn Monroe again and told her to get everything ready and leave in a few days to perform in Japan.

After all the trivial matters were arranged, Yu Sheng took some of the grain that had been temporarily intercepted from the steamer bound for China, and MacArthur arranged for him to go to the black market in Tokyo with a few American GIs who were in charge of its safety.

At this time, the Tokyo black market was similar to the second-hand market or antique street in later generations, and everything was sold. It's just that the stall owners of later generations often take bragging and farting as the basic skill, and an object is placed on the stall, and then it can be blown into the sky. Someone asks for the price, absolutely grasps the identity, and ignores it. It's as if in this world, what others can't buy later, there's nothing he can't sell!

At this time, in the black market in Tokyo, Japan, stall owners are often begging buyers to buy. It happens from time to time to exchange a small bag of grain for family heirlooms, or even all the goods on the stall. Moreover, no one will think that this stall owner is losing money. After all, very few people can come up with a bag of food in this year. Being able to exchange a bunch of things that can't be eaten and clothed for a bag of food is simply lucky.

Almost all the stall owners were looking forward to this kind of distinguished customer, and in the black market, Yu Sheng came with American GIs, drove the second-hand trucks he bought, and loaded with a truckload of grain. As soon as the truckload of grain was shipped to the black market, almost everyone lost their voices. And because of the protection of American GIs, those Japanese thugs who lived by collecting booth fees and protection fees did not dare to come forward at all.

In addition to Yu Sheng and American GIs, there were also Ye Wuguang and a few old men in the car. When Ye Wuguang waited for Li Xianglan to be released from prison in Shanghai, he didn't do nothing. According to the instructions of the rest of his life, he invited all the experts who studied ancient Chinese artifacts on the genealogy of the Aixin Jueluo clan.

These members of the royal family, although for hundreds of years, only need to eat and wait for death. However, due to the strict education system, the children of the Eight Banners who are lazy and lazy are only a small part. Most people, after getting rid of basic manual labor, turn to their own hobbies. Therefore, in modern times, there are many masters of Chinese culture. Including calligraphy, painting, gold and stone, jade, literature and classics, etc., there are masters. (To be continued.) )
