Chapter 257: Planning the Northeast

When the other 10 fighters and 10 bombers flew to Chongqing, important officials from all parties in Chongqing, under Liu Xiang's vigorous propaganda, went to Chongqing Huaxing Airlines to visit the entrance ceremony of these 20 planes.

Liu Xiang attached great importance to the ceremony of the establishment of the flying brigade, which indicated that he, Liu Xiang, would henceforth be a huge warlord on land, sea and air. It also means that his position in Sichuan will be more stable, and his weight in the eyes of the bigwigs of the national government will also increase a lot.

Therefore, under Liu Xiang's deliberate publicity, the strength of Liu Xiang's family has been greatly publicized, especially Liu Xiang deliberately let Chongqing newspapers publish intimate photos of him and Li Tie every day.

Since Li Tie entered Chongqing, there will be relevant reports almost every day, from accompanying Li Tie to visit various places of interest and historic sites in Chongqing, to inspecting his various units with Li Tie, Li Tie and Liu Xiang are cordial almost everywhere.

Commander Jiang was very jealous of this, this Li Tie was still not a staff member of the Nationalist Government, he and the Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang mixed up every day, what kind of system.

If it weren't for the fact that almost everyone in the Nationalist Government was doing business, he would have wanted to issue a decree prohibiting all officials from doing business.

It's a pity that he owns countless industries of his own, and he follows the capitalist line of the West, so he can't give such a decree at all.

Although I really wanted to scrape some oil and water out of Li Tie's hands again, I thought that Li Tie had just blackened 30 million war donations a few months ago.

Even if Commander Jiang was thick-skinned, he was embarrassed to open his mouth again, so he had no choice but to close one eye and pretend not to see these reports.

Anyway, the current Sichuan has not yet decided the final victory or defeat, no matter whether Sichuan is his Liu Xiang or Liu Wenhui's in the future, as long as he does not obey the leadership of the Nationalist Government, he will sooner or later destroy these warlords who listen to the tune and do not listen to the propaganda.

Now the focus is to start preparing for the fourth encirclement and suppression of the red bandits, and now the treasury is empty, although Li Tie has won 30 million yuan for nothing, but the financial hole of the Nationalist Government is too big, and finally Commander Chiang estimated that the fourth military encirclement and suppression will not be carried out before the end of the year.

Fortunately, Liu Xiang is still familiar with each other and knows that Li Tie's current status is very important, so he exports Li Tie's whereabouts through newspapers every day. I also don't have to worry about whether Li Tie and Liu Xiang hook up together in Nanjing every day.

But Li Tie's big-spending problem has to find a chance to take care of it, although he knows that you are the richest man in the world, but no matter how rich you are, you can't spend it like this, right?

Instead of investing those huge sums of money in warlords who know that there is a civil war, why not invest in yourself? How hard have you tried to unify China and build a strong China?

Look, not to mention that the hair has long since fallen out, and now it doesn't even grow a single hair. Commander Jiang looked at himself in the mirror with hatred.

When all the 20 planes promised by Li Tie entered Chongqing, Li Tie's task of attracting attention was completed, and the Soviet area had already received the medicine and salt products he supported, and it was estimated that it would be enough for one or two years.

And he couldn't stay in Chongqing for long, so after accompanying Xu Meiqi for three days in a row, Li Tie quietly stepped on the special plane back to Shanghai.

At the moment of boarding the plane, Li Tie and Xu Meiqi kissed goodbye deeply, and then reluctantly boarded the plane.

And just when he boarded the plane, several reporters not far away happened to secretly take photos of him kissing Xu Meiqi goodbye, and several reporters were happy for a long time.

You know, I think that their two colleagues in Hong Kong became rich by secretly taking a photo of Li Tie in front of the Hong Kong Governor's Palace. I heard that the two reporters bought a car and a house in Hong Kong, and married an additional aunt's wife.

These reporters have deliberately hidden outside the airport in the past few days, just so that they can secretly take such lucrative photos, but fortunately, the sky is as people wish, and today they finally took such powerful photos, and several people thought that the day of making a fortune had come.

Just when a few people were still celebrating each other, someone suddenly patted a few people on the shoulder, and a few people looked back to see that a group of soldiers wearing Huaxing escort uniforms and holding rifles in their hands surrounded them.

The leader of the team stretched out his hand to the few of them, but they had no choice but to hand over the camera in their hands to the captain. The captain pulled out the film from each camera and gave them two oceans to compensate them for the film money. And then he let them go.

Several reporters retrieved their cameras and immediately fled non-stop, seeing that the wealth they had obtained was gone. However, a few people can be regarded as a small gain, after all, each person got two silver dollars, which can also be used to supplement the family.

Li Tie didn't know what happened outside Chongqing Huaxing Aviation Airport, and after more than half a day of flight, he finally returned to Shanghai.

The thousand-tailed scorpion personally went to Shanghai Huaxing Airlines to pick up Li Tie, and then the two returned to the Golden Tiger Club together, and Xiao Biesheng's newlywed naturally had some intimacy.

It is said that a woman's intuition is the most spiritual, although Li Tie has tried his best to pretend that nothing happened, but the keen thousand-tailed scorpion still feels that Li Tie, who came back from Chongqing, has a little difference.

Li Tie often loses his mind, especially in the past few days when he first returned to Shanghai, Li Tie has inadvertently lost his mind a few times when he was discussing things with the thousand-tailed scorpion.

And every time the thousand-tailed scorpion asked Li Tie if he had something on his mind, or something important to say, Li Tie looked like he had absolutely nothing.

In the end, the thousand-tailed scorpion secretly asked Wang Qi and Dubin, and Dubin was okay, and the lie was not revealed. But Wang Qi can't do it, although Wang Qi has been mentally prepared many times, and there have been several special private trainings.

But when the thousand-tailed scorpion really questioned Wang Qi face-to-face, Li Tie's whereabouts in Chongqing, and whether Li Tie and Xu Meiqi had done anything unseemly.

Although Wang Qi also firmly denied it, the sweat on his head and his sometimes unanswerable answers still made the thousand-tailed scorpion suspicious.

Fortunately, the thousand-tailed scorpion did not embarrass Wang Qi, she pretended to believe Wang Qi completely, and left Wang Qi's house as usual.

And after Wang Qi left, Wang Qi found that his back was almost soaked. This thousand-tailed scorpion has put a lot of pressure on him.

In the next two months, Li Tie and the thousand-tailed scorpion lived more harmoniously, and the two frequently went to the drinking parties of Shanghai's high society, and attended various important occasions together.

Li Tie and the thousand-tailed scorpion also appeared together at various construction sites in Shanghai, and together to comfort the victims, in the past two months, major newspapers rushed to report the scene of Li Tie and the thousand-tailed scorpion's love.

And just when Li Tie and the thousand-tailed scorpion were showing affection in the eyes of the Shanghai people, at the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in the northeast, Major General Dohihara and several generals of the Kwantung Army were meeting with a group of patriotic businessmen from major consortia in Japan.

"Welcome to China, welcome to Manchuria, and now let me introduce you to a distinguished guest." After Tu Feiyuan finished speaking, a tall young man walked through the side door of the conference room. The young man came to the crowd with the help of a beautiful lady.

As soon as the person came in, he nodded to the Japanese businessmen present, but as a Chinese, the arrogance that emerged from his bones made the Japanese businessmen who were accustomed to seeing the Chinese who were whispering are very unaccustomed.

Just when everyone was guessing who this person was. Just listen to Tu Feiyuan's introduction:

"This was the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Puyi, and now the most sincere ally of our Japanese Empire. We will support Mr. Aisin Jueluo Puyi in Changchun for the establishment of Manchukuo. From now on, the three northeastern provinces will stand in the form of Manchukuo among the nations of the world. ”

Tu Feiyuan's words were warmly applauded by the Japanese businessmen present, in fact, everyone knows that this Pu Yi is just a puppet pushed out by Japan, in fact, it is the Japanese who really have the right to speak in the Northeast.

So in the next meeting, Pu Yi just went through the motions. Let all the businessmen present know Emperor Puyi.

Then, under the witness of Pu Yi, Japanese businessmen tendered for various resources of the three northeastern provinces, and the proceeds will be used for the future establishment of Manchukuo, including the construction of the Changchun Imperial Palace and various expenses of the imperial staff.

And the reason why Tu Feiyuan let Pu Yi be present is also to let Pu Yi see that our Great Japanese Empire is really helping you.

Not only to help you build the country, but also to help you build an army, but also to help you govern everything in Manchukuo, not to mention anything else, but all the proceeds of this mineral auction, their Japanese empire did not ask for a penny, all went into your Pu Yi's pocket.

In the future, if you don't have enough money to spend, don't say that our Japanese empire has embezzled your money.

In fact, the auction process of these minerals has long been discussed by everyone, and no one will bid a high price at all, and where does Pu Yi know the truth of this.

He found that the money from the auction was only enough for him to build an imperial palace and then pay for the staff, and other expenses such as the salaries of the guards and ministers had to be sponsored by the Japanese.

In the end, after a few hours of driving, Pu Yi, who felt physically and mentally exhausted, left the venue early. When Pu Yi walked out of the conference room, there was a shocking laughter in the conference room.

These Japanese businessmen and Tohihara thought that it was really interesting to be able to play the former Qing Emperor in the palm of his hand.

However, when Pu Yi left, it came to the real topic of this meeting, first of all, all kinds of minerals in the Northeast should be re-auctioned to compete for bids, and second, a lot of infrastructure work in the Northeast also needs everyone to have money to contribute and make a strong contribution.

In short, the current Northeast is the Japanese Empire in the future, and whoever pays more money here will get more benefits in the future.

Therefore, these Japanese merchant groups competed to bid, and the amount of money they invested at this time was dozens of times more than the amount of money that Pu Yi heard when he was present just now.

Most of these Japanese businessmen chose the best iron ore and coal mines, and many of them directly contracted Kimura in the northeast for sales and land for development.

Even Japan's domestic military enterprises such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are contracted to make money in various industries such as railways and highway construction in Tohoku.

Only a rising star from Japan, Naoki Ono of the Ono family, seems to be less enthusiastic about these industries, and he prefers to buy land in the city.

Originally, as one of the largest grain merchants in Japan, it was understandable that Naoki Ono had taken over the management rights of all the shops in the Northeast Tianfang Grain Company, but in the major cities of the Northeast, everyone only bought land, built houses and warehouses, and everyone did not understand it.

And Naoki Ono's answer was very simple: "Our family sells grain, of course, we have to occupy the best areas in major cities."

Everyone knows that people in the cities do not produce grain, so as long as the grain business in the major cities is monopolized, they will not earn less than other consortia.

And as there were fewer and fewer wars in the future, the population of the cities increased, and they naturally made more money. ”

However, for their own consortium, because they had to buy land and build factories in major cities in advance, their investment was relatively large, and the results were slow, so I hope that General Dohihara can let their Ono consortium give priority to choosing the land in the city.

And no matter where he picked, no matter how big or small, he would donate 10,000 yen for the military expenses of the Northeast Kwantung Army for each site he picked.

The major consortia present all thought that Naoki Ono was a fool, and only Tohihara did not see it that way, because he knew that it was an inevitable trend for the countryside to move towards the city in the future.

This is because whether it is for the development of society or for the sake of facilitating the management of Japan in the future, the best management method is to move all the people from all rural areas to the cities.

So Tohihara, who thought he knew a lot about Naoki Ono's thoughts, looked at Naoki Ono appreciatively and agreed to his request.

And Ono Naoki is not polite, directly including Shenyang, Harbin, Changchun, Qiqihar and other important cities and strategic points, all around a few pieces of land, such as Shenyang, Harbin has four or five pieces of land, less such as Jinzhou only one or two pieces of land.

That's it, in the last calculation, Naoki Ono has nearly a hundred plots of land. Among them is the current location of the former Shenyang Arsenal.

Because the Shenyang Arsenal was bombed into ruins, the Japanese military has been busy occupying the territory of Northeast China and extinguishing the resistance organizations everywhere for most of the past six months, so the Shenyang Arsenal is still in ruins.

And Naoki Ono also promised that they would be responsible for the removal and transportation of all the encircled land and garbage, and he would not give any less to the Kwantung Army for the land requisition.

Moreover, with a vast area like the Shenyang Arsenal, he could pay more for sponsorship, and in this way, after spending millions of yen, these sites eventually became the property of the Ono Foundation.

Just after the dust had settled on all the contracts, Naoki Ono introduced an old man to the Kwantung Army generals and a group of Japanese foundations present.

This old man will be the plenipotentiary representative of their Ono Foundation in Tohoku in the future, and when Ono returns to Japan, all friendships in Tohoku will be represented by this cousin of Naoki Ono, and his cousin is called Ono Masakum.

And when the nearly fifty-year-old man greeted everyone present in a Japanese accent in Japanese, the representatives of the merchant group present looked down on the Ono Foundation from their hearts.

Because the representative they sent was obviously from an old peasant in the countryside who came to power, and he didn't say a mouthful of Japanese vernacular.

Just by looking around as he sat there, he knew that he was an uninformed fellow, but everyone ate in the same boat in the future. No one is embarrassed to belittle them, but the Ono Foundation.

And this Ono Masa is so unsurprisingly good-looking, it's hard for everyone to have a good impression of him.

It's a pity that these people don't know the real Ono Masang, and anyone who knows him will definitely exclaim, "Ah, isn't this the Four King Kongs under Li Tie, the former Axe Gang Mouse Bird Hall Gopher Zhao Ying?"

Didn't he serve as Dai Li's deputy in the military command? When did he become Ono Masaka, and this appearance seems to have changed a lot, getting older and more earthy. ”
