Chapter 508: Nanyang Change (I)
"What a solution!" Chen Bui said to Jiang Agent, "In this way, the expropriation of my materials can be stabilized, and we can also concentrate our people, property and property in the hands of the government to the greatest extent." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Jiang Zhong closed his eyes and thought about it, he knew very well that this would greatly increase corruption in various places, if the collected goods, if nothing else, just talk about grain, the difference between the price of high-grade new grain and moldy old grain would be too big, otherwise Zhang Juzheng would have been using a whip method for hundreds of years.
"And how is the price set?" Jiang asked the intermediary.
"This year, Tian Fu is attached to the tax amount of legal tender per yuan to be converted into 2 buckets of rice or 1 bucket of wheat 5 liters, which will be recalculated according to the market price in the future, and other taxes can also be changed to kind, so that the government can grasp the materials to the greatest extent." Kong Xiangxi said immediately.
"Yongzhi you immediately come up with a detailed rules and regulations, since it is a good law, then immediately implement it, all the fields, cotton, sugar, salt and other things are expropriated in kind, the provinces should be assigned to the counties, the counties should be villains to the villages, the villages should be villains to the Baojia households, and this expropriation should become one of the most important tasks of the local government! If there is a problem with the collection, it must be dealt with seriously from top to bottom! Jiang intermediary finally made a decision and said, even if this method will appear in the side effects in the future, he can't care about it.
"Yes!" Kong Xiangxi nodded and replied, "We have made a plan, and the apportionment of each province has also been calculated, the total should be 24 million city stones, calculated at 100 yuan of city stones, about 240,000 yuan in legal currency, compared with the total budget of the central government before the war is only 100,000 yuan per year, more than twice as much." β
"Good! If that's the case, you've made a great contribution! Jiang looked at Kong Xiangxi with satisfaction, and Kong Xiangxi only nodded happily.
"Let's leave it at it financially, militarily, the recent actions of the Japanese army are very strange." Saying that, Jiang Zhong looked at He Yingqin on the other side.
He Yingqin nodded and said, "The Japanese army is slowly shrinking, giving up a lot of unimportant rural towns, but on the other hand, the Japanese army is vigorously recruiting puppet troops, and in the past few months alone, at least 300,000 puppet troops have been added. β
"The current international situation is extremely strange, Germany has an overall advantage in Europe, Britain is cowering in the British Isles, the air war of Great Britain has been fought for a month, the situation in Britain is getting worse and worse, the Japanese army has always hoped to form an alliance with Germany, but it is doing things in Southeast Asia, and I don't know what I want to do?" This was stated by the newly appointed Foreign Minister Song Ziwen.
"The Japanese are wolves that can't be fed .... 918, 77 incident, when don't they like to be small and big? I think the Japanese are probably looking at the Nanyang again, after all, the current Nanyang is basically in a vacuum, and the power of Europe can't take care of it at all. Bai Chongxi said with his eyes closed.
"Nanyang? They are now at war with our China, and they are moving in the direction of the Soviet Union, and now they want to move the South Seas, are they really crazy? Chen Bui shook his head and said in disunderstanding.
"The strength of the Japanese army can only choose to go north or south, and judging from the current situation, the Japanese army is probably preparing to go south." Dai Li said to Jiang Zhong, "Chairman, if the Japanese army goes south, I'm afraid there will be problems on the Burmese side." β
"There must be no problems on the Myanmar side! Ziwen, you will soon be stationed in the United States, we cannot rely on Europe, the United States is our hope for the future, and you must strive for greater assistance from the United States. Jiang said to Song Ziwen.
Song Ziwen nodded in understanding.

"Wow! If we can really produce tanks and airplanes on a large scale, our military industry will be substantially improved. Chairman Mao listened to Jiang Cheng talk about modern things, and said happily, "What kind of tank and aircraft production line is this?" β
Jiang Cheng took out two photos and said, "The tank is the T-44 tank of the Soviet Union in the late World War II, the original production line is T-55, but the production requirements and some processes of T-55 are still a bit high for us, so I asked them to change it to a modified version of the T-44, this tank has a low appearance, the internal layout is very compact, many places are innovative designs at the time, our tank gun is 85 mm, and his armor is extremely thick, there is 120 mm of inclined armor on the front, and the power is not bad, Our improvements to him are mainly in the driving system, which has been changed to a German-style steering wheel, so to speak, the tank can really be produced to make all the tanks in Europe obsolete together! Not to mention the little Japanese tank, it's a toy in front of him. And this production line can be further upgraded in the future. β
Mr. Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded again and again and said, "Okay!" Good stuff! We must hurry up and master his production technology! β
"The boss is right! We are going to make demands on our industrial sector, to give them military orders! Xiao Jiang worked hard to transport these treasures, if we can't use them and waste them, then are we worthy of such a good opportunity given to us by God? Zhou Guansheng also nodded in agreement.
Chairman Mao stopped the excited two and said, "Let's wait for Xiao Jiang to finish speaking, this tank is finished, what about this plane?" β
Jiang Cheng continued to introduce, "our aircraft is the later generations of J-5, this aircraft is designed and produced by our new China in later generations, although it was born from the Soviet Union's MiG-17, but there are also a lot of our own things in it, he is a jet fighter, the maximum flight speed can be more than 1100km, you must know that the speed of the Spitfire that shines in Britain is only 550km per hour, it can be said that in front of our aircraft is simply a snail crawling, but the production requirements of such aircraft are also very high, His engine is absolutely impossible to produce at our current level, it can only be produced in later generations, and the radar is also very difficult, but it can be removed, and when there is demand or production capacity in the future, it can also be added, and his main role is air combat, which will become our main air force in the future. β
"Hey, we're still too weak, Xiao Jiang helped us get so many good things, but we can't do this, we can't make it, we're ashamed! Comrade Jiang Cheng, I want to review this matter with you, but I have not done my job well! When Chairman Mao heard that he couldn't do it, his heart was itchy and helpless, and he felt the industrial pressure of later generations of China more than ten years in advance. As he spoke, he was about to get up and bow to Jiang Cheng, sorry.
Jiang Cheng hurriedly dodged to the side and said, "Chairman, what are these words, these weapons we have now are for Britain, the United States, Germany and Japan to absorb, and they will not be able to absorb them for a while, have you forgotten the centurion I gave to Germany?" Until now, Germany has not fully grasped those technologies, and many German workers and doctors regard the tank as the ultimate masterpiece of the tank, which is also interesting. β
Zhou Guansheng also comforted Chairman Mao and said, "Chairman, I think what Xiao Jiang said is right, we just need to have a clear conscience." β
Mr. Zhu asked with a look of unfinished business, "By the way, how about the strategic bomber you talked about last time?" β
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This thing is really difficult to do, this plane is definitely much easier to buy in the current United States than in the United States in later generations, the sky was monitored everywhere in my time, and the strategic bomber was large in size and easy to be discovered, so it said that some parts such as engines that we can't make can help us do, but the main body still has to be responsible for ourselves, and they can't produce it." β
"Do it yourself, do it yourself!" Chairman Mao snorted and said: "Is this China or the Soviet Union in the future who is unwilling to help?" β
Jiang Cheng replied: "It is Russia, and China's own production capacity of large aircraft in later generations is insufficient, and the bombers used are still improved models of bombers developed by the Soviet Union in the 60s, and there are indeed deficiencies in this regard." β
In fact, in later generations, China is one of the only three countries in the world that is still producing strategic bombers, and the other two know who they are, but Jiang Cheng, as a descendant, has always been the first in China's strength expectations, and it is okay to be tied for the first!
"But even if the factory machinery is shipped, it will take some time for us to fully grasp it, and this matter is not urgent, Chairman, how is the situation in the country now?" Jiang Cheng asked while biting on a peach.
"The country is still stable, and the Japanese army in various places is shrinking, just as our intelligence shows, the Japanese army is mobilizing troops to shift the direction of the attack, but there are a lot of small actions of Naokamura Ningji and Tohihara, often provoking us to fight with the national army, it seems that they want us to fight." Chairman Mao smoked a cigarette and said with a smile.
"The little devil comes and goes is these tricks, chairman, boss, I think we should accumulate strength during this time and prepare for the Armageddon, I expect the next battle to be Armageddon." Jiang Cheng was already a little indifferent to the tactics of the Japanese army, and the current Jiang intermediary did not have the courage to fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army, at most he only dared to make some small moves.
"That's right, according to the history you said and the prediction of meteorologists, next year's great drought will come as scheduled, and the White Party should not have much strength to make trouble at that time, so we will pick this time for a big counteroffensive, with soldiers and horses opening the way, and grain following closely, not afraid of the uneven north." Mr. Zhu said his plan.
Jiang Cheng clapped his hands and said, "I suggest that in the autumn and winter period, when the people have something to eat, our burden will be a little smaller, but that's it, the people who have been hungry for a year will definitely attach great importance to those grains, as long as any force forcibly expropriates food, the people will lose their hearts and grievances!" β
Chairman Mao lit a cigarette and said, "Yes, that's true, in addition, Xiao Jiang, when do you guess the time for the Japanese army to go south?" β
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Historically, the Japanese army's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was a year and a half after the defeat of France, but before that, the Japanese army had actually begun to move south, and the current war between Thailand and France was actually an outpost battle for the Japanese army to the south, I can say that in less than three months, the Japanese army will definitely appear in Nanyang, after all, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the Japanese army needs a starting point and military base for advance, just like the 918 that year took our northeast, the Japanese army will also find a new Manchuria in the South Seas." β
Chairman Mao looked at the world map on the wall, his fingers holding a cigarette slowly sliding, and his mouth muttered, "Is it Thailand?" β
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Thailand is a quasi-ally of Japan, and Thailand has an excellent geographical location, located in the center of the southeast peninsula, it is indeed a good place, but I am afraid that the Japanese army will not be satisfied, you see, this Vietnam and other places are ruled by Vichy France, the French army is only twenty or thirty thousand people, the soldiers are weak and dark, and it is very easy to attack, Thailand's attack here can be regarded as a test of the Japanese army, and now that the temptation is over, is it time for the protagonist to go?" β
"Vietnam? This Japan's guts are not small, and its quasi-allies are all fighting? Mr. Zhu pointed to the map and said, "What is called madness, I think we will see it immediately, in this way, the time is just right, once the Japanese army turns to the southeast, we can immediately launch a counterattack!" β
-- Hanoi
"General Jean Degu, I hope that you will give us the following requests, taking into account the present situation:
1. Allow our army to enter Vietnam and establish a military base.
2. Immediately prohibit any materials from entering China through Vietnam and other places.
3. Immediately arrest or expel all Chinese government or military personnel in Vietnam and other places.
4. China is allowed to send a monitoring mission to supervise the prohibition of materials and the expulsion and arrest of personnel.
5. Open the Vietnamese market to Japan, and Japan has the same rights and interests in Vietnam as France! Nishihara Kazuseki smiled and said to Jean Degu, "These are our last conditions, all of them are indispensable, the empire has shed too much blood in China, mainly because some people continue to give blood to China through various methods to fight against the empire." If British, American, and Russian supplies continue to be allowed to enter China from Vietnam, then we have every reason to believe that the Vichy government authorities in Asia are hostile to the Empire of Japan, and then the three million warriors of our Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan will not sit idly by, and I cannot guarantee what will happen at that time. β
Nishihara Kazusei was a major general at this time, a staff officer of the Japanese army's base camp, and was specially sent to negotiate with Jean Degu, yes, this time the Japanese army once again left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and began to work alone, in the hearts of the Japanese army, the speed of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was too slow.
The sinister Nishihara Kazuce looked at Jean Degu, whose face was white and red, and only felt excited and trembling in his heart, how many years? From the opening and closing of the black ship to the present, these white people have been arrogant every time, when have they been so panicked all day, the last time like this was probably during the Russo-Japanese War.
"You want us to consider your feelings, don't you take our feelings into account? And you guys also want to garrison troops in Hanoi ... Do you think Paris will be willing to accept this? Will Berlin be willing to accept it? Jean de Gourd exclaimed.
"On May 20th, by order of His Majesty the Emperor, we will set up an Indochina Dispatch Army, which we are preparing to attack China from Indochina and other regions, but if we encounter people hostile to us on the way, then we do not mind destroying them together, as for Berlin and Paris... Trust me, I'll do a good job of explaining. Nishihara Kazusei looked at Jean Degu gloomily and said, "To sign or not to sign, we hope that the general will respond within three days, otherwise we will take unnecessary measures to help the general decide these things." With that, he got up and bowed, turned around and walked out. (To be continued.) )
