Chapter 24: A dilemma
Stimulated by the US dollar, the Jewish gangsters went around collecting transportation like locusts crossing the border, and the capable gangster families sent whole boxes of wine to the British military camp, and the military vehicles allocated to the British troops were rented out one by one at their expense and driven to the refugee camp to transport the Jews to Wan Town. The powerful gangs collected a large number of mules and horses around Yangon, and for a time the Jewish craftsmen who could make carriages became the most sought-after sweets, and the unpainted white stubble carriages set off from Rangoon to Wan Town, and the carriages were filled with old and weak Jewish women and children and their luggage.
There are also Jews who are reluctant to leave Yangon, but they are no longer facing the recruits under Zhao Zhi, they are facing the gangsters who have gone berserk who have been stimulated by the dollar. Jews who were willing to leave Yangon for Wan were put on safe trucks, and those who were reluctant to leave Yangon because they were reluctant to give up their share of their property were arranged by the gangsters to take a slow carriage to Wan Town, where they would have been miserable for most of the month.
In just half a month of hiring Jewish gangsters, the number of Jewish refugees stranded in Yangon has dropped from 800,000 to less than 500,000, and at this rate, Zhao Zhi hopes to reduce the number of Jewish refugees in Yangon to less than 300,000 before the rainy season arrives in May. The migration speed of refugees is much faster, but Zhao Zhi has to pay a large amount of money to the Jewish gangsters, so the depleting of the capital chain has become Zhao Zhixin's trouble, the depletion of funds is the cash in Zhao Zhi's hands, the gold and antiques brought back from Europe have been sent to the Rockman family's manor when the Black Lady returned to the United States, otherwise where did the old Rhodes get the money to provide Zhao Zhi with arms, Zhao Zhi's antiques have long been sent to the bank by the old Rhodes for mortgages. The money was spent by Zhao Zhi like running water, Yu Dazhi and the others didn't know what Zhao Zhi's intention was to do this, but they knew that Zhao Zhi would never do useless work, and there would be a reason for him to do so.
Zhao Zhi, who temporarily lived in Yangon, was not closed off in intelligence, and the fleets that transported Jewish refugees from the port of Marseille brought the latest information from Europe to Zhao Zhi, and the military commanders in Chongqing also sent some domestic war reports from time to time, so Zhao Zhi was not short of intelligence. France is about to lose, and it is likely that it will surrender to the German army in the near future and open the whole territory to Germany, and the news sent by Goering from Berlin made Zhao Zhi a little dizzy. Damn the French are really vulnerable, the Anglo-French alliance declared war on Germany in September last year, and it has only been 7 months now, even if the British can't take care of them, but the French shouldn't be so unstoppable, it's really a shame.
The German army on the European battlefield was pressing forward step by step, the defense line of the British and French forces had collapsed, and a large number of allied soldiers retreated in France. Philip? Petain had a headache. After the fall of Luxembourg and Belgium, the French-dominated coalition forces had compressed their defensive lines to the south, but with the arrival of a large number of German armored troops from Italy, a large area of southeastern France had been occupied by the Germans, and the coalition forces had been suppressed in the south-central part of France.
The German tanks roared and charged at the Allied positions, and the German infantry poured into the Allied lines with the tanks, and the current Allied troops were more like peasants who had just learned to shoot than in the early days of the war, and a single German company could often run wild with thousands of Allied soldiers. Those seemingly solid Allied defensive lines were under the attack of German artillery fire, and few of them insisted on two rounds without a rout, the Allied troops were desperately fleeing, and the Germans were desperately pursuing, and the Allied forces and the Germans were now completely in a race to see who could hold out to the end.
The fall of Lille, the fall of Reims, and then Paris also fell into the hands of the Germans, after the squeeze of the German armored forces that entered the east, the former powerful coalition forces have been squeezed to the line from Tours to Moulins, and the successive falls of coastal ports and the rout of the British navy have made the Anglo-French forces in France unable to see a way to escape. The German High Command's plan to persuade the Germans to surrender had already achieved extremely remarkable results, and a large number of French surrenderists who were interested in the German army began to lobby the trapped Allied generals.
Hitler's ambition made Zhao Zhi look sideways, and such a hero as a partner, Zhao Zhi even had to sleep with his eyes open, Zhao Zhi, who was born as a mercenary, really didn't want to have anything to do with such a person, if it weren't for his early plan to use the power of the Germans, killing Zhao Zhi would not take the initiative to go to Germany to meet Hitler, a madman. Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union were Germany's opponents, and after the fall of France, Britain would be followed by Britain, and once Germany defeated the Soviet Union again, the United States, which was only born for interests, would certainly not have a conflict with Germany.
At present, Zhao Zhi and Germany are still allies, but with the strength of Germany and the change of the world pattern, Zhao Zhi cannot guarantee that a strong Germany will allow Zhao Zhi to retain so many Jews in his hands, especially the slightly neurotic Hitler will be the biggest variable. If, after Hitler took control of Europe, Zhao Zhi was forced to eliminate the Jewish soldiers under his command by force, Zhao Zhi did not know what choice he would make.
Zhao Zhi never thought of tying himself to the chariot of any country, and if he wanted to ensure the safety of himself and his relatives and friends, it was unreliable to rely on the strength of his allies alone, and Zhao Zhi must have the power to be controlled by himself. It is true that the Rockman family is an old family, but that is not Zhao Zhi's best choice, the United States is nominally a country that preaches freedom, but in fact it is also controlled by various forces, among them, the Rockman family can only be regarded as a second-rate family. If it weren't for Rowling's relationship, Zhao Zhi would not have allowed the Rockman family to participate in his plan at all.
Zhao Zhi, who didn't want to watch the Germans dominate the family, originally hoped that the French could carry it for a while longer, and when the eyes of European countries were focused on the Germans, Zhao Zhi could make time to improve his plan. However, with the surrender of France, Britain will have a situation that will be difficult to support alone, and according to this development, the fall of Britain is only a matter of time, and at that time, the plan of millions of Jews will attract the attention of all countries in the world, and this is precisely the last thing Zhao Zhi wants to see, and now is not the best time for Zhao Zhi to be completely exposed.
The telegram sent by Goering made Zhao Zhi sit on pins and needles, and in Zhao Zhi's overall plan, the Jewish relocation plan was only to cover Zhao Zhi's real purpose of obtaining resources and manpower from European countries, and a large number of new weapons produced by the weapons laboratory also needed the cover of this plan to be transported to China through Burma. The reason why Zhao Zhi arranged the plan like this is that he took advantage of the loopholes in the character of Europeans, who like to sympathize with the weak very much in their bones, but their sympathy is only a superficial false compassion, and their false compassion depends more on the situation, Zhao Zhi took advantage of this loophole in their character, so that he could use the ships transporting Jews to cover the smooth landing of the German army in Britain.
Now that France is about to surrender, it is believed that after the all-out German offensive is launched, the British will not hold out for too long, and at that time, Zhao Zhi's Jewish relocation plan will not be able to continue, and his plan to smuggle weapons from the United States must also be put on hold, which is the last thing Zhao Zhi wants to see. Although Zhao Zhi began to build an armored vehicle factory and a bullet production line on the outskirts of Kunming, he could not meet the war supply of his 80,000 Jewish soldiers in a short period of time, so Zhao Zhi had to ensure that the line of weapons he obtained from the United States could not be broken before the Jewish Legion entered the Chinese theater of operations.
Zhao Zhi lay on the map in the war room and looked at it for a while, then picked up a pencil and drew it on the paper for a while, and then ordered Luo Ying to call Yu Dazhi and Hans in. "Hans, I need you to go back to the United States" Zhao Zhi threw the telegram that Goering had just sent to Hans. "Look, the French are going to surrender, and once the Germans begin to land in Britain in an all-round way, our plan to relocate the Jews will be almost over" Zhao Zhi has been thinking about ending the relocation of Jews into China, that is because he is not enough money, and this telegram sent by Goering just made Zhao Zhi find an excuse, but he can't say this excuse in front of anyone.
"What does that mean, sir?" Hans was a little unsure of Zhao Zhi's true intention of letting him meet the United States, and the order given to him by old Rhodes was to protect Rowling, and he was also a little reluctant to leave Rowling.
"I think the Japanese army is about to blockade the Bay of Bengal, so I have to get back the new weapons produced in the weapons laboratory before the Japanese army can make a move, and I will arrange for all the vacant ships on the dock to follow you back, and only you can complete this matter" Zhao Zhi handed Hans his handwritten letter to Old Rhodes. Hans is the head of the Lockman family's bodyguards, and this matter arranged by Zhao Zhi is indeed the most suitable for Hans.
"Dazhi, send a telegram to Eugene, ask them if they have already connected with the sword, and order them to start the revival plan immediately, we are running out of time, I can only give them half a year, and after half a year, I will hear the news of the attack of the White Russian partisans" Zhao Zhi also has a revival plan for the Soviet Union. According to Zhao Zhi's order, Eugene who infiltrated the Caucasus region is the first echelon, and Yan Wudao, who transferred from Xinjiang to Outer Mongolia, is the second echelon, and they will be the promoters behind this revival plan, and those White Russians who are willing to resist the Soviet power will become the implementers of the revival plan.
