Chapter 59: Back to Modern Times

- Tokyo, Japan

Because the emperor of Japan is revered as a god, even his voice is not allowed to be heard by ordinary people, so when he meets with his ministers, he also sees the true face of God through a curtain as if he deserves to die.

Fumiro Konoe is reporting on the situation in North China, and he is talking about the possibility of launching a punitive attack on China if necessary.

The emperor is actually very conflicted in his heart, as the king of a country, he is very interested in such interesting things as expanding his territory, but he is familiar with history and understands that war is not such a simple thing, although the gap between China and Japan is huge, but modern war is not a war between China and Japan, how will Britain and the United States react? Will the USSR make a move? These are all things to consider.

Emperor Hirohito said thoughtfully, "Manchuria belongs to the countryside, and it is not a big deal if anything happens there, but if it happens in Tianjin and Beiping, it will intensify the intervention of Britain and the United States, and there is a risk of conflict between the other and us." ”

As soon as Konoe Fumiro heard it, he understood that Hirohito meant that it was okay to fight, but it was necessary to prevent the intervention of Britain and the United States. Fumiro Konoe said he understood and bowed down and left.

Emperor Hirohito looked at the bust of Napoleon he had brought from Europe in his study – could he be the Napoleon of Asia?

Immediately after Konoe returned, he contacted Foreign Minister Hirota Hiroki for a meeting, and after discussion, the two decided to test the reaction of Britain and the United States.

Roosevelt looked at Cordell Hull and smiled, "This Oriental language is indeed troublesome, and it is difficult to say what you want to say, but you can understand it." ”

Cordell Hull was the secretary of state who accompanied Roosevelt throughout his presidential career until Roosevelt's death, serving as secretary of state for nearly 20 years, the longest serving secretary of state in U.S. history.

Cordell Hull shook his head and said, "The international situation is very strange now, judging by the tone of the Japanese, they are preparing to start another war in China." Mr. President, what do you think we should do? ”

Roosevelt closed his eyes and said, "If the United States wants to improve its international status, it must go through a baptism, and perhaps this is an opportunity for us to write back to the Japanese verbally and tell them that the United States has no intention of managing international affairs, and as long as it does not affect the interests of the United States, the United States has no objection to anything." ”

β€”London, England

At this time, the British Prime Minister was the latest Nivelle Chamberlain, and at this time Europe had already felt the threat of the Italian and German fascists, but the British and French governments headed by Chamberlain believed that the fascist forces were a force that could be used, and they only needed to be guided, so they could cause disaster and eventually lead to a war between the fascists and the Soviet Union.

Therefore, when Chamberlain saw Japan's secret telegram, he was not willing to take care of the affairs of the Far East at all, not to mention that China and Germany have recently come very close, if Japan teaches China a lesson, maybe China can re-understand the strength of the British Empire, Chamberlain touched his beard and said, "Our British interests are only in China's Yangtze River region, as long as Japan does not interfere in the interests of our British Empire, we will not interfere in their interests." ”

The camera turned, although Roosevelt had a good conversation with Jiang Cheng on the surface, he had never heard it for a moment, and Jiang Cheng's requests were obviously preparing for war. It seems that China also knows that Japan is going to take action, and I hope that this war will completely sober up the United States, which is bent on living in its own world.

Jiang Cheng knew that he was thinking too simple about stockings, although Roosevelt was one of the few presidents in American history who dared to compete with the consortium and won more, but he did not dare to put his hope on him, Jiang Cheng immediately sent a report to Chen Nan in Germany, asking him to communicate with Hitler immediately, Roosevelt on the American side may not be useful when he speaks, and Hitler on the German side is full of words.

Jiang Cheng sent a telegram to Shanghai, asking Yu Qiaqing and others to send the pre-selected students to the United States first, and to be ready to accept overseas Chinese in the United States.

In fact, the most overseas Chinese are in Southeast Asia, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to pass, Jiang Cheng asked Situ Meitang about the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, Situ Meitang was stunned for a while when he heard Southeast Asia, and then said after thinking about it, "You should be talking about Nanyang, right?" ”

It turns out that the term Southeast Asia still does not exist in this era, and this era should be called Nanyang overseas Chinese. Later, Jiang Cheng learned that it was the British who used Southeast Asia as a war zone during World War II to get this name. After that, everyone got used to it, and it became a new area (this article is called Nanyang for the convenience of viewing). The history of overseas Chinese in Nanyang is no longer available at the earliest, but the only thing that can be determined is that overseas Chinese in Nanyang are the largest number of overseas Chinese in the world and have the strongest economic ability. But after centuries of colonial rule and the Manchu government's disregard for it, recognition of China gradually diminished, and it was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that it changed completely.

Before the Xinhai Revolution, the propaganda activities of the Restorationists and revolutionaries in Nanyang succeeded in channeling the identification of overseas Chinese with their families, clans, and hometowns to their identification with China. After the Xinhai Revolution, overseas Chinese's identification with the motherland became stronger with the deepening of the national crisis in the motherland, and the nationalist sentiment that sprouted at the end of the late Qing Dynasty developed into a strong patriotic upsurge by the end of the 30s of the 20th century. In particular, ordinary overseas Chinese are unable to participate in local affairs and politics, have no permanent property and no status in the local area, and the main purpose of their immigration is to return to their hometowns one day, and when their families and countries are dying, their concern for their clans and hometowns can easily be deepened into their identification with the Chinese state.

A large part of the hatred of the Japanese by overseas Chinese comes from themselves, and overseas Chinese have long dominated the economy of Southeast Asia, but after World War I, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce entered Nanyang in a big way. In the Malay Peninsula, in order to sell Japanese goods, the Japanese merchants went to the countryside to worship the natives, led the natives to organize cooperatives, and so on, and sold all Japanese goods, and the Japanese side gave all kinds of conveniences. The economic expansion of the Japanese merchants was carried out under the condition of eroding and harming the traditional economic field of the Chinese businessmen, and their purpose of trying to replace the Chinese businessmen was clearly revealed. This kind of economic expansion made Chinese businessmen feel painful, and it also made anti-Japanese-centered patriotism, which was closely related to safeguarding their own interests, a concept that was more easily accepted by overseas Chinese in Nanyang.

Up to now, overseas Chinese in various parts of Nanyang have set up overseas Chinese national salvation federations and salvation groups from all walks of life. Now it also has its own leaders, which are the famous Tan Kah Kee (Singapore), Lee Qingquan (Philippines), and Zhuang Xiyan (Indonesia).

But perhaps because Nanyang has been colonized for a long time, overseas Chinese have not known much about political parties, and they only have the term China in their hearts, and they are also in the dark about who is right and who is wrong in the red and white parties, but because the local colonizers are all Western forces, the white party is the central government. Therefore, there are still quite prejudices against the Red Party, and it is not easy to persuade them to help Yan'an, but in recent years, due to the continuous statements of the Chinese Red Party to unify and resist Japan, some overseas Chinese have also had some good feelings towards the Red Party.

When Jiang Cheng heard this, he understood that if he wanted to gather the forces of Southeast Asia, then he had to persuade these three people to do it, Jiang Cheng remembered it and decided to meet these three people after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

Jiang Cheng returned to modern times after settling the affairs of the United States, and the familiar pressure made Jiang Cheng understand that he had finally escalated. After calculating the time, it is now June 25th, the time of the Republic of China, and the war over there is about to break out.

Looking at the time, Jiang Cheng still decided that the sky and the earth are big, sleep the most, and talk about other things tomorrow.

The next day, after Jiang Cheng ate the breakfast that Yu Na prepared for himself, he skipped work again with honor.

Jiang Cheng decided to solve the problem of stockings first, if stockings want to break through the blockade, they must be hit first, then propaganda is the key, in 1937, when television was not popular, poster propaganda was the best way. The aesthetics of the West are very different from the aesthetics of the East, and the aesthetics of the World War II period are different from the aesthetics of the modern era, so Jiang Cheng did not dare to choose the photos of modern Hollywood stars in later generations, so he had to choose the photos of famous actresses during the Second World War and after the war. Speaking of which, the most famous are of course Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. The two are now eight years old and eleven years old. It's most reassuring to use their photos.

In fact, there were many famous movie stars in 1937, such as Rita Hayworth, Katharine Hepburn, etc., but the background of these female movie stars has a long history, and Jiang Cheng doesn't know who is behind them, but they must have an inseparable relationship with those chaebols.

Jiang Cheng didn't want to work hard to take photos for advertising, and as a result, the news of the stockings was leaked out in advance, resulting in being blocked in advance. When Gallagher said that the reddest star on his planet had two pairs of black shiny legs and perfect barbs and green compound eyes, Jiang Cheng completely understood the truth that it is impossible to fall in love if the race is different.

After Jiang Cheng prepared the things that needed to be prepared for the sale of stockings, he finally found his conscience and drove to work.

When he came to the company, Sun Ning saw Jiang Cheng and immediately took a large number of documents and threw them on Jiang Cheng's desk. Jiang Cheng looked at Sun Ning, confused, why did he provoke her again.

Sun Ning is indeed unhappy, the news that Jiang Cheng disappeared and mysteriously appeared after going to sea, Sun Ning has already known it from the tyrannosaurus, although it has not yet been found out which one did it, but it is certain that Jiang Cheng is definitely sent by foreign forces, that is to say, Jiang Cheng must be a spy! Traitors!

Jiang Cheng scratched his head and said, "What are these?" ”

Sun Ning calmed down and said, "These are the companies you want me to buy, a ham sausage factory, a compressed biscuit factory, a bacon factory, a sausage factory, a canning factory, let me take a look, now it has begun to be put into production, and the military uniforms, helmets and other materials you want are also ready, the military radio has prepared a hundred for you, and a large number of university textbooks and some science and engineering books you took last time are ready." When are you going to check it out? ”

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, after the small factory here started operating, there would be a steady stream of materials in Yan'an. Jiang Cheng wrote down Lin Fei's phone number and said, "This is my newly found warehouse, one of my hair is small, you contact him, and you will send these materials here in the future." ”

Sun Ning took the note, nodded and said, "And the silver you want, it's all in place, and now it's in the bank vault, you can withdraw it at any time when you want." ”

Jiang Cheng has already transferred the time and space point from Shanghai in the Republic of China to Heitie Island, and now he has to go back to Yan'an first, and then transfer to Shanghai before he can transport it.

Jiang Cheng said, "Don't worry about these first, I'll tell you in advance when I want it, you can help me prepare the materials in the USB flash drive, I'll be useful." ”

Sun Ning waited for Jiang Cheng to leave and opened the USB flash drive to see that the content inside was as strange as ever, first the textbooks of Chinese pinyin used by children when learning literature, and countless primary school textbooks. And then there are countless equipment that is only used in laboratories, and it is relatively low-end, and I really don't know what else can be studied with such equipment. Then I asked for 50 tons of diesel, if I used it myself, it would be a bit much, if I sold it - this is really not profitable, and finally I asked for a lot of big hardware and small hardware, these goods are not strange to say that each is separated, but if they are put together - what do the forces behind Jiang Cheng want to do? With so many textbooks, are they ready to abandon their own language? In Chinese?

Sun Ning returned to his residence at night to report the latest situation to the Tyrannosaurus, since the last time the purple wind returned in vain but retreated, he knew that the people behind Jiang Cheng might have discovered his people, but he didn't know for what purpose but there was no trace of reaction, seeing the information reported by Sun Ning, the first reaction of the Tyrannosaurus was that this force was showing goodwill to China.

The tyrannosaurus immediately reported his thoughts to Qian Hong, and as soon as Qian Hong heard that he actually asked for countless primary school enlightenment textbooks, he immediately said: "This is a show of goodwill, it is an obvious show of goodwill, your intelligence is very timely, according to your intelligence, all the field military rations they buy are required to be written in Russian, it can be seen that their forces must be the original socialist camp during the Cold War, and now he buys so many Chinese teaching books, which can be regarded as the rise of pro-China forces within their forces, very good, in this way, Some of the previous things can also be explained. I think he should have shown favor by selling gold before, well-cultural relics too, very good, I will explain the situation to my superiors, don't move lightly, continue to observe, maybe we have another Pakistani railway. ”

Jiang Cheng and Sun Ning found Yu Na after talking about it, Yu Na was doing the accounts, and it was difficult for her, Jiang Cheng's company has always been more than in and out because of him, and a large number of goods are unknown, and Jiang Cheng has a lot of old relationships in the tax industry and commerce department, and there is a statement from above to turn a blind eye to his company, which has been fine, otherwise it would have been investigated.

Yu Na actually knew that Jiang Cheng's company was abnormal, but her personality made her unable to make a move to force Jiang Cheng to ask, so she could only try her best to make Huawei Company's accounts as good as possible, hoping to help Jiang Cheng a little.

Jiang Cheng looked at Yu Na's busy back, counting the days, Yu Na has been by his side for a few months, and every time he comes back, he leaves in a hurry, just hoping that the December vacation can make her happy, and I hope that I can do so much that I can leave less blood in China during the Republic of China.

Jiang Cheng didn't bother her, but went home on his own to prepare to make her favorite spicy hot.

Yu Na secretly saw that Jiang Cheng had left, and couldn't help but feel a little lost, and her nose was a little sour, but she couldn't help but smile and said to the financial assistant next to her, "Okay, let's have a special bonus for this quarter's financial statements, especially for the stockings department, everyone be careful." ”

When Yu Na dragged her tired body home, she smelled a tempting spicy smell, only to see Jiang Cheng dressed as a chef, with candles lit on the dining table, Jiang Cheng smiled and bowed and said, "Dear lady, please taste the super luxurious and invincible ultimate spicy tang set prepared for you by the famous master Master Kong." ”

Yu Na looked at the Malatang on the table, laughed out loud and said, "Do you use Malatang as a candlelight dinner?" ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't you like to eat, come quickly, I've been preparing for a long time." ”

Yu Na wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "Hmm"

After Jiang Cheng and Yu Na ate a lot of meatballs and vegetables, they talked about the latest interesting things while eating. Then laughed and watched the anime together, waiting for Yu Na to be a little sleepy, after coaxing Yu Na to fall asleep. Jiang Cheng called Lin Fei's phone, and Lin Fei seemed to be still working, very noisy and there was the sound of machinery roaring.

Jiang Cheng asked, "What's going on, Lin Fei, where is the construction of the warehouse?" ”

Lin Fei shouted loudly, "Brother Cheng, everything is going well, I found a large construction team, working in three shifts, and asked the latest design team to help us do modular construction, and it will be capped in a few days." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and smiled, "What is the standard in the end?" What is the length, width and height? ”

Lin Fei roared, "It is 67 meters long, 45 meters wide, and 20 meters high, and the latest ventilation system and refrigeration system are installed, even if it is a meat storehouse." Brother Cheng, is this construction really suitable? There is no compartment in the middle, and it is dangerous to pile it up directly, so high. ”

Jiang Cheng said, "Don't worry about this, just do it, you do it as soon as possible, there will be a woman who teaches Sun Ning to contact you recently, and in the future, the goods she gives you will be put in the warehouse, and I will tell you how to put them when I want to ship them, you first transport them all to the corner of the warehouse, and leave the middle out, you know?" ”

Lin Fei roared, "Brother Cheng, don't worry, I won't embarrass you." ”

Jiang Cheng hung up the phone, thinking that it would take some time for the warehouse to be ready, and he would first transport military uniforms or something this time, and then take Yan'an to Shanghai, and finally transport silver to Shanghai, as long as these preparations were made before August. Let's hope everything goes well.

After Jiang Cheng spent a weekend with Yu Na, he came to the warehouse where the materials were placed, and returned to Yan'an in the Republic of China with a warehouse of materials.

(PS: Some readers expressed that they don't understand why the character of the No. 1 heroine is designed like this, let me tell you, the protagonist is a person who disappears at every turn, please think from the perspective of a girl, would you be willing to entrust your life to a person who disappears at every turn and doesn't know where he goes, and he doesn't look for you, you will never find him?) As I said before, I want to write this book as truthfully as possible, if you choose to be a traverser, and you can't share this secret with your lover, then you have to be prepared for her to leave you at any time, although it is a novel, but we can't require a modern heroine to have such a high ideological consciousness, so only this kind of good girl will be stupid and have been waiting for your return in modern times. οΌ‰
