Chapter 549: Nanyang (1)

"I picked up a dime on the side of the road and handed him over to the policeman's uncle, who took the money and took me to the restaurant, bought two oil balls and gave me a little bit."

After getting up in the morning, Chief Su, who was refreshed, stretched out his salty pig hand again, and touched the four daughters-in-law who were still lying on the big bed again, and then sang a crooked song that he didn't know where he learned it and went out the door.

Last night, when the little nurse returned home with Yulia and Xia Dada, the little nurse found that her own sister had been gnawed by Chief Su to the point that there were no bones left, and she was lying in Su someone's arms and fell asleep tiredly. Without waiting for the three little nurses to come to the three-class trial, Chief Su, who had recovered his spirits, threw the three daughters-in-law who had just come back onto the bed and blocked the mouths of the three sisters in the most direct way of a man

Now that Chief Su has succeeded in stealing food, he is in a very good mood, and his mouth has not closed when he walks into the office. But when Su Tong entered the office and just sat down, he received a report from the guard, Jiang Baili was accompanying a guest to visit, as soon as Su Tong heard this person's name, he patted his head and said "It's broken", and immediately got up from the stool that had not yet been hot, and walked out quickly.

Before he reached the gate, he saw Jiang Baili and an old man with silver hair and a pair of black-framed glasses walking over, and when they saw Su Tong coming, the two also smiled and walked over quickly.

Su Tong walked over quickly and stretched out his right hand to the person from afar, "Eh, Mr. Chen is here, Su couldn't go to the airport to greet him in person, it's really rude, I hope Mr. Chen will forgive me."

After taking two steps forward, the visitor also stretched out his hand and held Su Tong tightly, and said with a smile: "President Su has every opportunity, since he should come to visit from the old man, how can the president of a country personally go to greet the old man." ”

"Mr. Chen's words are wrong, Mr. Chen is the leader of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, and has made such a huge contribution to the country and the nation, Su is really ashamed that he can't go to the airport in person." Speaking of this, Su Tong's old face couldn't help but feel a little hot, he and several daughters-in-law Hu Tianhu Emperor had almost forgotten about this matter last night.

The old man in front of Su Tong is not simple, it stands to reason that Su Tong is now the president, and there are not many people who are worthy of him going to the airport to greet him in person, except for the leader of a country, there are only a few people who are so famous that even the leaders of a country have to pay attention to them. And the person in front of him is the person who can make Su Tong willingly lower his body and greet him in person, his name is Chen Jiageng.

Su Tong clearly remembers that in another time and space, the Chinese people commented on this patriotic overseas Chinese: he is a famous patriotic overseas Chinese leader, entrepreneur, educator, philanthropist, and social activist, and is also known as "the banner of overseas Chinese and the glory of the nation". People who can have millions of family properties and control their daily food expenses at five dimes, and who are willing to spend a lot of money on the education cause founded by the country without frowning, looking at the tens of millions of overseas Chinese, only Mr. Chen Jiageng, who is praised for his character and morality, can make Su Tong truly admire his character and integrity.

Su Tong welcomed Chen Jiageng and Jiang Baili to his office, turned around and made a cup of tea and put it in front of Chen Jiageng and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, it is not easy for you to come back to Nanjing, and I will accompany you to have a good look in Nanjing." ”

Chen Jiageng took the tea and said with a smile, "The president is the leader of a country, how can he waste time for me to accompany my little businessman to play in the mountains and waters, then my sin is too great." Then Chen Jiageng said in an excited tone: "Now that the country has achieved a real sense of reunification under the leadership of the president, the development that the old man has seen after returning to China is changing with each passing day, and it is just around the corner to catch up with Western countries." ”

Su Tong sighed, "The country is too big, and it is not easy to develop rapidly, unless it takes us ten or even decades to develop." ”

"But at least we're working on that." Chen Kah Kee's tone was full of hope and longing, "Now we only need Taiwan to be in the hands of the Japanese, and in my opinion, it won't take two years to wait for our navy to develop and then go straight to Huanglong." ”

Looking at Chen Jiageng Su Tong, who had an anxious look in the corner of his eyes although his tone was excited, he said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I see that you didn't come to me this time to sing praises to me, there should be something, right?" It doesn't matter, if there's anything you say, as long as I can help, I won't refuse. ”

After listening to Su Tong's words, Chen Jiageng's expression darkened, and he said to Jiang Baili with a wry smile: "Minister Jiang, you should tell the president." ”

Su Tong turned his gaze to Jiang Baili, who smiled bitterly and said, "That's the case, Mr. Chen Jiageng is here to ask us for help this time. ”

"Asking for help?" Su Tong asked suspiciously: "What the hell is going on, Duke Ning, you can tell me more details." ”

"That's the case," Jiang Baili said the purpose of Mr. Chen Jiageng this time.

It turned out that some time ago, the Chinese government helped the Germans fight fiercely with the British in the English Channel, so that the British suffered much heavier losses than in history, although in the end Hitler revoked the "Sea Lion Plan", but the British who suffered heavy losses still hated the Chinese government. Just half a month ago, under the impetus of Churchill, the British Government ordered a new tax policy for overseas Chinese in the British colonies of Malaysia and Singapore, in which the British Government increased the taxes on overseas Chinese-owned factories and enterprises in Malaysia, Singapore, and other British colonies by three times, and in particular, the taxes levied on rubber plantations in Malaysia were increased by five times.

These overseas Chinese in Nanyang have quit, they have worked hard in Nanyang for nearly a century, and it has taken several generations of talents to work hard to rule the foundation, and now that they are about to be taken away by the British by such despicable means, they entrusted Mr. Tan Kah Kee to return to China to ask the government for help. Chen Kah Kee is naturally obligated to this matter, and Tan Kah Kee has nearly 150,000 acres of rubber plantations in Malaysia, if it is taken away by the British all of a sudden, the loss will not be one or two points.

Chen Jiageng said sadly: "President, the British have reformulated a high tax, but this high tax is only for the factories and enterprises to which our overseas Chinese belong, but the tax on other people's factories and enterprises has not changed in the slightest, which is clearly a conspiracy against our overseas Chinese." The British raised our tax rate three to five times at once, and if we paid it, we would be operating at a loss, and if we didn't, they would confiscate our factories. ”

After listening to Chen Jiageng's words, Su Tong's face was very ugly, "It's too much of a deception, do they really treat us as soft persimmons, how do they pinch them?" ”

Jiang Baili also said on the side: "Now that the German bombing of Britain has stopped, and the British can take a breath again, now they clearly want to plunder the assets of our overseas Chinese in Nanyang to make up for their losses in the war." They are wearing the same pants as the Americans, and the other day the Americans supported them with more than 30 destroyers, two light cruisers, and hundreds of aircraft, which is why they are so arrogant. ”

Su Tong sneered lightly: "Churchill is warning us not to get too close to the Germans. What time did he think it was, or a hundred years ago, when the sun never set on the Empire? Since the British want to play with the flute, then let's play with them, and don't think that with the support of the Americans, we can do whatever we want. ”

At this time, Chen Jiageng also said worriedly: "President, Minister Chiang, the British are now in line with the Americans in Nanyang, and a few days ago, the British sent two additional warships and an Indian infantry brigade to Malaysia, and they are clearly guarding against us." ”

"Ha" Su Tong couldn't help laughing: "Just one Indian infantry brigade wants to scare us?" Do you really think of yourself as a big tiger? Then I'm going to touch this tiger's ass today. ”

Jiang Baili on the side frowned, "Jianming, the form of the South Seas is very delicate now, and the Japanese are now accumulating strength to prepare to dye the North Sea, if we just mix in like this, in case the British, Americans and Japanese turn their guns to us together, it will be worth the loss." ”

Chen Jiageng was anxious when he heard this, he looked at the two of them worriedly and said, "President, Minister Jiang, then we"

"Mr. Chen, don't worry," Su Tong waved his hand at Chen Jiageng, and said in a firm tone: "The country will not sit idly by and ignore the difficulties of you patriotic overseas Chinese, you save money and materials to donate money and materials to the country when the country is in difficulty, and some people even take out the coffin book that they have accumulated all their lives, and now you are in trouble, if the country sits idly by, what is the use of our government." ”

"Well, you don't want to go to war with the British, do you?" Chen Jiageng was taken aback, if there was a war in the South Seas, it would be very important.

"War with the British?" Su Tong smiled, "No, it's not a good time to start a war. But even though we can't go to war, we can't do nothing, and we have to teach the British a lesson about who they can mess with and who they can't. Is the operation of the South China Sea Fleet in Vietnam completed? ”

Jiang Baili nodded, "Since the French in Saigon surrendered to us last month, the Vietnamese Social Workers Party has occupied the entire territory of Vietnam, and they have promised us that we can send people to take over the territory north of Hanoi this month, and the lease procedures for Cam Ranh Bay have also been signed with the Vietnamese Social Workers' Party, and we can send engineering troops to build the base next month." ”

Su Tong nodded, "That's good, since the South China Sea Fleet's mission in Vietnam has been completed, it's time for them to go around Malaysia."
