Chapter 1529: Windfall

The largest World War in Europe in 1916 came to an end, and the million-level damage was not unprecedented, but it was also painful, and the Entente countries were licking their wounds, especially the United States, which had to make a choice about the current status quo, and at this time, Japan was jubilant.

Across the Pacific Ocean, where there is no submarine fiber optic cable, it is not easy to communicate, but China showed Japan the radio, and Japan knew that the combat aircraft they thought before were deliberately made by the Chinese, and China could use radio to contact any battalion of troops, how could it be possible to give them a chance, coupled with China's magical speed of transporting troops, the opportunity they saw was actually not an opportunity, but just a little bit, Japan was not an opponent at all.

Now it is Japan's turn to enjoy such benefits, in Alaska, the 600,000 Japanese army, divided into different parts, each of them attacked, with the help of radio, to do the order and prohibition, whether it is to divide the troops or to encircle, it is easy to do, radio popularization to the wing level, can already make them feel this sense of command, the most important thing is that more than 5,000 kilometers apart, anything can be supported by the rear, after China's hand, but it is much more convenient than the cable telegraph, It is not necessary to be in the city, as long as there is a radio, it can be directly connected to the rear through a large transit, and it is truly possible to command the front line at the highest level, and all kinds of convenience.

After the arrival of the first batch of immigrants in Japan, with the help of China, a comprehensive exploration of the situation in Alaska, Alaska's basic resources and mineral deposits, transmitted to Tokyo by radio, has been waiting for Alaska news of Japan is jubilant, a 1.7 million square kilometers of land, just the land itself, contains great value, not to mention the underground rich in huge resources, gold, silver, precious metals, non-ferrous metals, these are necessary resources for industrial development, and there are many other resources, A large amount of coal, huge forest resources, animal and plant resources, and even arable land are the most basic resources that, at any time, can be exchanged for cash.

These resources that the Japanese dream of, so lying on the land of Alaska, this makes Japan a little frightened, the United States does not care about Alaska, because, the United States is rich enough, the resources of the United States occupy an important position in the world, with the strength of the United States, the United States has sealed some important resources, just rely on the purchase from outside, at the critical moment can be used as a reserve, to support the development of industrialization, in this case, relatively remote, inconvenient transportation, In addition, Alaska, which has extremely harsh climatic conditions in the northern region, of course, as a last resort, the purchase and development of its own resources is enough to support the development of the United States, and it can be used as a strategic reserve.

Now this rich territory is all Japanese, which is a huge stimulus for Japan, just like a beggar, suddenly obtained a large amount of gold, at a loss, completely unsure of what to do, just from the occupied American cities, as well as mines, the wealth looted from the people, hundreds of millions, billions, the United States is a capitalist country, a foundation lies in the sacrosanctity of private property, official property is official property, civil property is private property, These are two completely different systems.

The confusion of public and private property has far-reaching consequences, and Alaska is a barren land with just over 1 million people, which seems to be relatively backward in all aspects, which does not mean that the total wealth here is small. The minerals and industries that opened here are all profitable, and each of those mine owners is very rich, and in Juneau, in some big cities in Alaska, these people have made their homes here, and they have stored a lot of wealth at home, and they have been directly taken by the Japanese.

In addition to minerals, there is also a large vegetable garden is dollars, the high-level people leave with the escort, at most they can only take away a part of the gold, but the banknotes can't be taken away, Juneau's Bank of America, a total of $170 million in reserves, plus the people, the whole of Alaska has at least $1 billion in cash.

It seems like a lot, but in fact, the average person is less than a thousand, and Alaska, because of its mineral and tax advantages, itself is a rich land, and it has lost so much cash at once, I am afraid that the United States did not expect it.

This is how the war is waged on the enemy's territory, occupying the other side's cities and plundering the other party's wealth, Germany is like this against France, France has lost a large area of territory, lost a large amount of people and cash, and directly depreciated the franc to prevent Germany from embezzling France's wealth in this regard, the United States is different, the United States used the Lend-Lease Act to control the arms transactions of the entire Entente countries, and the debts of each country are more than 5 billion US dollars, in this case, 1 billion is compared with tens of billions, Americans can only eat this evil fruit helplessly.

In Hawaii, there were also a lot of U.S. dollars in storage, and the United States was fully prepared at that time, coupled with China's deliberate liberalization, and there was no way to stop the Americans from transporting their wealth; in China's view, the two islands of Hawaii and Guam had much more wealth than the United States had shipped away, and it was not easy for China to spend it if it really wanted to get U.S. dollars.

Japan doesn't care about this, what is really calculated, how much money was spent in the process of Japan's attack on Alaska, plus the purchase of Chinese machinery and equipment, it is nothing, how can Japan say, it is also a great power that has risen for more than ten years, they are all over the world, they are considered to have some foundations, 1 billion US dollars, this number is very huge, it is really sent out piecemeal, and it is not too difficult to ask, Japan is now lacking everything, buy things, or exchange for some valuable raw materials, for Japan, Also a great addition.

All of a sudden, the investment in this battle was completely recovered, especially the first-hand information sent back by the commander at the front, this Alaska, not as barren as they thought, at least in the southwest coastal area, near this end of the Pacific Ocean, is similar to Japan's oceanic climate, the perennial temperature is not too low, even in winter, there will be no extreme climate in Northeast China, below minus 20 degrees, in this case, for the Japanese, to provide the first year's food, Where are the personnel enough to survive.

The difficulty of food, China occupies Southeast Asia, itself in the whole country of scientific planting, even under the premise of ensuring a certain number of forests, China's average land area has hit a new high, in the scientific planting and cultivation of the two, China's grain self-sufficiency rate has reached more than 250%, this proportion is quite terrible, that is, a year's production of grain, not only enough to eat, but also enough to eat for more than a year and a half, grain is not easy to preserve, but China can use a large number of methods to store them, Most of them are stored as grain reserves, using the method of cold storage.

Storage, there is too much grain left, especially after Southeast Asia and Siberia are under control, after the first batch of grain is produced, China has completely solved the grain problem, the first few years are still stored, and there are too many later, it is impossible to store it anymore, otherwise the whole country is not enough to establish it in a hurry, one year of storage, two years of storage, three or four years still have to be stored, then it will be troublesome.

In the annual production of grain, half of the grain is used for export, half of the grain is used for feed, to improve the output of meat, in order to ensure the reasonable level of protein and intake of the whole China, since 1910, China's protein intake level has been increasing, to 1916, has exceeded the world's highest level, this era of Europe, is still poor and backward, they have built more than 30,000 tons of giant battleships in science and technology, in terms of basic people's livelihood, with more than 100 years ago, There is no clear difference, there is no way to give the population the best life, and the bourgeoisie of this era has not yet realized this.

Japan may also be entangled, buy grain in large quantities, will there be enough money, the money owed to the Chinese is enough, continue to owe, interest or something, it is very problematic, they must take into account the ability to repay, with the most economical method, to complete the occupation of Alaska, in this case, the people who go there, life may be a little harder, as long as for the rise of great Japan, there is no problem in suffering.

Now the cash income in Alaska alone is as high as 1 billion US dollars, as well as a large number of gold, non-ferrous metals, copper, molybdenum and other precious metals, as well as a large number of timber resources, these are what China needs, Chinese merchant ships in the transport of immigrants, will transport a large number of materials back, although it may not occupy much, but a shipload of huge wealth, directly transport them back, not only to repay the Chinese side of the loan, but to obtain a large amount of money, from the Chinese side to buy a large number of machinery and equipment, This harvest alone is enough to complete about half of Alaska's urban construction and industrialization, not to mention food.

Food is an important material, without food, some heavy physical labor, there will be problems, Japan's top level, not very concerned about the lives of civilians, but to a certain extent, if you can keep the names of these people on the premise of paying a small amount, for Japan, it is just a matter of effort, of course willing to do it.

Japan is quite abundant in both materials and money, if China is willing to accept US dollars, it will give China US dollars, if it is not willing to collect, it will give all kinds of basic materials, this is what everyone is willing to accept, Japan has gone through simple mediation, finally, when China promised to provide resources and food, even the investment in the early construction of Alaska can be provided to Japan through bonds or loans, and at this moment, Japan broke out into unimaginable madness, in order to establish Alaska, pay all its strength.
