Chapter 1065: Japan's Great Gain
Since the day Liu Hua's order for 'economic plunder' was issued, every day, countless wealthy people and families in major cities on the mainland of Japan have been exterminated. Of course, all this was secretly carried out by the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the guise of the Japanese.
With a large number of gold and silver antiques being dug up by the expeditionary force from the Japanese people, one good news after another, like snowflakes, was continuously sent to the high headquarters of the Chinese expeditionary force in Tokyo.
In the huge war room, one by one the combat staff officers quickly summarized all kinds of data into a list. Even Zuo Quan, who has seen the big scene, was stunned by the huge data on the list when he saw the changing data on the list.
After looking at the data in his hand again and confirming that he was not dazzled and not mistaken, Zuo Quan asked in a deep voice: "Comrades, have you miscalculated?" ”
"No...," the staff officers replied in the affirmative.
Seeing the confident looks on everyone's faces, Zuo Quan no longer had the slightest doubt. At the same time, a hint of surprise directly appeared on his face. He said excitedly.
"The little devil of the dog day has hidden such a huge wealth among the people, it seems that this time our expeditionary force has hit a big luck again..."
"You continue to stay here, and as soon as you receive a telegram from the front, continue to make statistics....I will immediately report the results to the commander-in-chief... I really can't figure it out, how could the commander-in-chief know about the fact that the Japanese people are hiding such a huge wealth? ”
"Yes, Chief of Staff...."
In Liu Hua's office, Zuo Quan, who was excited, just walked in, and reported impatiently: "Commander-in-chief... Earned, this time our expeditionary force made a lot of money...."
Liu Hua from later generations is clear. Throughout the course of World War II, several years of foreign wars completely emptied Japan's treasury. However, the money did not disappear in a vacuum, but was concentrated in Japan's major chaebols. Family, in the hands of the factory owner. It is safe to say that on the basis of the war making the country poorer and poorer, it has made many chaebols and factory owners who have made war profits rich overnight....
Excluding the decades-long accumulation of wealth in Japan since the First Sino-Japanese War. In the ensuing foreign wars, a large amount of wealth was recovered from North Korea. Huge resources and antiques plundered from China, countless properties looted from Southeast Asia, Taiwan, the Pacific... Without exception, all fell into the hands of the Japanese government. As for the final result, it fell into the hands of these Japanese chaebols at home.
Otherwise, if there is no such strong private power and capital. After the losses of World War II, especially after the baptism of the two atomic bombs by the United States, it was simply impossible for Japan to develop rapidly in such a short period of time.
Seeing Zuo Quan with an excited face in front of him, Liu Hua immediately thought of the results of this economic plunder. He asked directly, "Chief of Staff." Is there news from below....tell me, how much development capital have we made from the little devils? ”
"Commander-in-chief, who are you really like a god?" Seeing Liu Hua immediately saw his intention, and then thinking of Liu Hua's prophecy at the beginning, Zuo Quan couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
Subsequently, under the gaze of Liu Hua who was also looking forward to it. Speak directly....
"Commander-in-chief, I don't know if I don't look at this data. I was shocked when I saw it....Fortunately, I didn't have a heart attack, otherwise I would have been scared to death...."
"So far, it's only been a week. The total amount of gold we plundered from the Japanese people alone exceeded 1,453 tons. I believe that this number will continue to grow over time. ”
"In terms of silver, according to the current ratio of gold and silver, all gold and silver will be synthesized into gold. The total value is more than 826 tons. ”
"Other banknotes, including the Japanese yen. USD, GBP...... When converted into gold, the total value directly exceeds five hundred and twenty-one tons..."...,
"In addition, in addition to these intuitive gold and silver wealth, there are countless priceless antiques, and most of them come from our own China. However, now that they are all back in our own hands....because the value of antiques is difficult to estimate, the people below have collected more than 89,000 pieces of various antiques from the Japanese people......."
"If nothing else, this economic plunder, we can transport back more than 3,000 tons of gold and silver wealth from Japan....more than 3,000 tons of gold....Commander-in-Chief, if this is exchanged for the ocean, how much will it be worth...."Zuo Quan, the chief of staff, who finished answering, couldn't help but say with emotion.
3,000 tons of gold, even if it is placed in later generations, is a huge wealth, let alone for China, which is still poor and white at this moment. It is conceivable how much this gold will boost the economic development of the whole of China after it is transported back to China. For a while, Liu Hua's face was also shrouded in a thick smile by this amazing result.
Then, facing the left power in front of him, he ordered directly.
"Chief of Staff, with so much gold and silver, we must make sure that it is safely transported back home. I mean, for all this gold and silver, we abandon the transport ships that transport the equipment, and directly switch to the cruisers for transportation, and transfer one cruiser and three destroyers to escort along the way to ensure the safety of this wealth, what do you think? ”
"With such a large fortune, there are always some people who don't want to die to come and take advantage of the fire to rob, and it is safest to transport it by warship, I completely agree. Not only that, but we also have to inform the Central Committee in advance, so that the chairman and others can be ready to receive this gold and silver in China...."Chief of Staff Zuo Quan added after agreeing.
"I agree....the matter of sending a report to the Central Committee will be handed over to you, and in the name of the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Force, I request that the Central Committee immediately dispatch elite troops to prepare to receive this batch of gold and silver related to the future of the country...."Liu Hua nodded and said.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
In Zhongnanhai, Beijing, as shiploads of industrial equipment were brought into the mainland, factories were set up one after another because of the arrival of these equipment. The Prime Minister, who has always been concerned about the country's economic and industrial development, is like eating honey, and his face is always full of smiles.
After another list of industrial equipment was sent to the prime minister, the excited prime minister walked directly into the chairman's office.
"Chairman, Comrade Liu Hua is really impatient. In just two days, it was again the equipment of the three ships, and all of them were all kinds of civilian equipment that our country urgently needed. According to the list, if these equipment are assembled, it will be enough for us to build more than three automobile factories, six large thermal power plants, and three large hydroelectric power plants at once...," said the prime minister with an excited face.
Regarding the Prime Minister's words, the chairman nodded noncommittally, and then said with a smile: "Enlai, this is not the first time that our Comrade Liu Hua has done this kind of thing....I think about the original Long March, the later War of Resistance against Japan, and the Northeast ....which thing does not look like a profiteer....However, speaking of which, if it were not for Comrade Liu Hua's several profiteer actions, our party would never have developed so rapidly and developed so strongly...."
"The chairman is right, I remember several times when our Comrade Liu Hua saved our party from danger...."The premier said with a look of approval.
Looking at the thick list in the prime minister's hand, the chairman went straight to the point and asked: "Enlai, since you have come, tell me how many good things Comrade Liu Hua has sent us back in the past month or so..."
"Yes, Chair..."
"According to the list, if all these devices are assembled, the military-industrial system of our country will be completely perfected. When the raw materials are sufficient, there is no need to import them. These devices alone are enough to cope with the normal operation and refitting of my army of three million...."...,
"In terms of civilian equipment, I can say with certainty that with the addition of these equipment, the industrial development of our country has directly crossed fifteen years. In other words, Comrade Liu Hua's military campaign in less than two months has saved our country more than 15 years of development in terms of industry, science and technology, and technological reserves.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Liu Hua has introduced hundreds of thousands of engineers and scientific and technological talents from China from Japan. With the participation of these people, our country's talent pool will grow rapidly. The prime minister, who is in charge of the national economy, said excitedly.
At this moment, Ye Jianying, chief of the General Staff, rushed in with an excited face, directly handed the telegram he had just received in his hand to the chairman, and said: "Chairman, Comrade Liu Hua's urgent secret telegram...."
"Uh...."The chairman's brow furrowed, and he took a quick look.
"Haha, Comrade Liu Hua is really our lucky general....3,000 tons of gold, a full 3,000 tons of gold, how much can we do?...Enlai, you read the telegram, Comrade Liu Hua sent us another big gift....gold and silver worth more than 3,000 tons of gold, more than 100,000 pieces of various antiques...."The chairman said excitedly.
"I'll see....", the Prime Minister quickly glanced at the telegram in his hand with a look of anticipation.
For a time, in the face of sudden surprises, in the face of sudden huge wealth. The faces of both of them were shrouded in a thick look of excitement. In the end, it was the chairman who said categorically.
"Enlai, it is safe to say that this wealth will be related to the future economic development of our country. It will play a huge role in promoting China's next development. So, no matter what, it must be transported safely to Beijing....I mean, immediately order the guard division directly under the central government to dispatch it personally, and mobilize a few special trains to transport this batch of gold. At the same time, all the garrisons along the railway line were ordered to act immediately to ensure the safety of the entire railway line and ensure that this batch of gold was safely transported into the city of Beijing..."
