The South China delegation's ship sailed on the magnificent Pacific Ocean, carrying more than 100 officials, most of whom were between 20 and 40 years old, without any historical baggage, full of vigor and vigor, and not too polluted by the habits of officialdom.
On the ship, young officials and engineers gathered in twos and threes to exchange ideas. They learned a lot from this visit, and the long journey gave them enough time to summarize the inspection reports in Western countries and sort out the plans for the future development of South China.
In the first-class sofa room, senior members of the South China delegation sat together and chatted about Japan, the country they would visit next.
"Japan, a small country in the East, has rapidly risen to become a world power in half a century, and it is a good example for us to learn!"
Situ Meiden laughed. Thinking that it wouldn't be long before he could return to Nanhua with a heavy harvest, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This mood is also contagious to the people in this room, who are relaxed, leisurely sipping fragrant Sumatran coffee or tea purchased from Fujian, boldly lighting authentic Cuban cigars, and spending the sea journey in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
"The Japanese don't think they're going to give up, and they're sure they're going to win us over. In some respects, it is possible to meet their requirements, but also to be vigilant at all times. ”
Chu Fu puffed out a puff of blue smoke, he is one of the directors of BP Fruits, in fact, he is the head of the Latin American region of Chinese affairs, and has been in Latin America for several years, in recent years, after the suspension of immigration to the United States, most of the Chinese who immigrated to the Americas have been sent to the mines and farms of BP Fruit Company in Cuba and Venezuela in an organized manner, which has accelerated the local economic construction.
"Over the years, there have been a lot more Japanese in South America, and they also value the rich resources of South America, and tens of thousands of Japanese are sent to Brazil, Chile and other places every year, which is really unpleasant."
Chu Fu explained.
"Oh? Has the fruit company expanded into South America? Situ Meiden asked with a smile.
"There are no things that can make money that the Yankees dare not do, and the business stuff is all done by the Dulles guy, and I am mainly responsible for the management of farms and mines, and I also have more than 4,000 security guards in my hands. There are more than 30,000 Chinese workers, and more than 40,000 local workers. ”
Chu Fu smiled slightly, a little proud. If it weren't for the greater development opportunities in Nanhua, there would be a lack of construction talents. He is not willing to leave the Americas.
The feeling of being a local emperor in Latin America is still a bit fascinating, and in small countries like Cuba and Bolivia, the lifeblood of the country is mainly controlled by a few large fruit companies in the United States.
Not to be outdone, the Japanese have actually established a lot of settlements in Latin America, and they have not bullied the local natives, but Chu Fu is a little unhappy with the Japanese.
"You, you, what a soil emperor. However, the Tu Emperor is also as good as the Tu Emperor, and he came back to help me govern the natives of Nanhua. ”
Situ Meiden looked at Chu Fu with a smile. He knows a lot about the BP Fruit Company, which was set up by Situ Nan in imitation of the United Fruit Company of the United States and with the investment of several partners of the William Consortium, and the financial, diplomatic, and operational aspects are in charge of the Americans, while the security and management systems are in charge of several survivors of the Titanic tragedy, such as Chu Fu.
The role of the Chinese in Latin America is basically the same as that of the Indian patrol in Shanghai. However, Situ Meiden did not dare to underestimate these security guards, the South China Army developed from the security consulting company in the United States, and the security team of BP Fruit Company is the same.
Stumeton needed people with the means and strategy to go to the central and eastern Java regions. To ensure that Nanhua has enough influence over the concentration of ethnic Javanese, and Chu Fu is the best candidate.
"By the way, not long ago, we discovered copper ore and nitrate ore in Chile and other places. The cooperation between Meihua and BP Fruit Company is estimated to be good. ”
Chu Fu suddenly remembered.
Situ Meiden nodded, and the secretary next to him immediately recorded these words.
There was no doubt that this was a digressive discussion, and the attention of the top executives of South China unwittingly shifted from Japan to Latin America, and they listened with relish to Chu Fu's account of the situation in Latin America over the years, how to deal with local indigenous issues, and the example of BP Fruit Company gave them a lot of inspiration.
In remote and backward islands such as Sulawesi, South China has not yet established effective rule, and the local natives cannot be left alone. Those places are not as well-developed as the island of Java, so a structure between the company and the state needs to exist in areas that Nanhua has time to develop.
"I've heard that the Japanese are very good at catching fish? In fact, there should be a lot of fishing grounds in Nanhua! Chu Fu asked suddenly.
Relying on the sea to eat the sea, Nanhua is an island country, although the island is rich in products, we cannot ignore the broader ocean, if you can. Chufu is willing to set up a comprehensive marine company integrating fishing, sales and armament.
Before running the Titanic, he ran a boat in Hong Kong for a few years, and there are many fishermen in the coastal areas of southern China, and they are all an important human resource.
"Japan's Kuril Islands are rich in fish, but there are also many fish in the waters around South China. You're right, it seems that we don't just have to run a farm, but also a fishery. Not only do we have to build merchant ships, but fishing boats are also indispensable. ”
Stuart said.
In fact, the fishery in South China has developed quite rapidly, but it cannot be compared with the Netherlands, Japan, the United States and other major fishing countries in terms of scale and technology.
Chu Fu smiled secretly. He returned to Nanhua a little late, and the heavy industries such as oil, minerals, and rubber had been carved up by several major companies in Nanhua, so he aimed at the newly fledgling marine business.
In recent years, with the US capital control in South America, BP Fruit Company has expanded rapidly, not to mention violent industries such as minerals and railways, and its annual sales have exceeded 100 million US dollars just from growing bananas.
As the founders of the company, Chufu brothers naturally made a lot of dividends and windfalls, each of which was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It's a pity that Nanhua is too far away from them to reach them, so they have to invest their money in mining and plantation in Latin America. Chufu's return to South China also represents the participation of Chinese forces in Latin America in the construction of South China and the benefits of it.
Nanhua's focus on the development of the shipbuilding industry has made Chufu see the prospect of investing in the marine industry. In Latin America, several U.S. fruit companies are also playing the role of fishermen in a certain way. Although you can't be a fishing tyrant in South China, there are no other strong competitors to invest in the marine business.
"You want to catch fish, okay! But the company is in the hands of a professional manager, and you can honestly show me the Javanese. New Tangshan is in West Java, forgive those Sundanese natives who can't escape from the palm of our hands. However, in central and eastern Java, it is different. The Circum-Java Railway was not repaired for a while, and many measures had to be implemented. ”
Stuart reminded him.
In the case of the Meihua Company, there are very few publicly owned enterprises in South China, and Chu Fu, who has returned ambitiously, may also establish a monopoly in the marine-related field.
Szeto Meden sat on the bow of the boat and blew the wind. The mood rises and falls with the waves of the sea, all the way to the west, and the light of longing flashes in my eyes.
Huang Sande stood aside, and did not speak to the sea.
"It's just a pity that we went to so many countries, but in the end it was not easy to arrange to return to our motherland. Whether I went to Shanghai or Beijing, I guess I couldn't find anyone who could really talk about things. ”
Huang Sande sighed softly.
"No way. The world is so chaotic. The north is fiercely armed, and it is estimated that the presidential throne in Beijing will be replaced again. ”
Situ Meiden nodded and looked at the sea with a solemn face.
In the arrangement, after the end of the visit to Japan, the South China delegation will split into two routes, one way directly back to South China, and Stuart Meiden will continue to arrive in Tianjin to visit Beijing. Then there was Shanghai, Guangzhou, and the two governments coordinated the relevant strategies before returning to South China...... Nanhua's fleet headed straight for Tokyo. By September 1, they were already 800 kilometers east of Tokyo.
In order to welcome foreign friends, Crown Prince Hirohito and his wife frequently greeted the guests, showing their demeanor as the king of a country.
Everyone knew that his father, Emperor Taisho, was a fool, and the country would definitely fall into the hands of Hirohito.
The twenty-two-year-old was full of hesitation, and with a confident smile on his lips, he remembered not so long ago. At his command, the retainer Nishiji Konobu deceitfully obtained the jade seal from the foolish Emperor Taisho, and Hirohito was thus regent.
For a young man who has been immersed in the spirit of bushido since childhood, what could be more exciting than holding power?
The guests in the palace were close to each other, and the guests from Britain and the United States greeted the Hirohito couple with a respectful attitude and a smile, in Asia. Japan, with its powerful combined fleet, has a very high international status, and Westerners have to admit that Japan is strong.
"We must create an industry comparable to that of the Meiji Restoration, and make Japan the hegemon of the East." Hirohito thought silently in his heart and drank the sake in his hand.
But after the liquor was in, Hirohito felt that something was right, and a violent, sudden tremor came from the depths of the earth; Between the shaking earth, the clanging of chopsticks and the stunned guests.
Could it be that Japanese sake has gone bad and is so strong? Hirohito thought to himself, suspecting that alcohol was hallucinating.
In an instant, a shining crystal chandelier fell down, shattered, and splashed all over the ground.
There were bursts of frightened screams in the hall, and Hirohito came to his senses, his face pale, and the wine glass fell from his hand unconsciously, not at all with the grace and calmness he had just had.
There was an earthquake!
Hirohito staggered to the garden outside the temple, and the scene outside terrified him for the rest of his life.
The earth is shaking, the heavens and the earth are shaking, and the high-rise buildings in Tokyo not far away fall to the ground like dough and shatter, and the vision suddenly becomes empty, and the bustling Tokyo is suddenly "short", and the smoke is billowing and rising from the ruins, like the end of the world.
This scene stunned the ambitious and hesitant Hirohito, he looked into the distance, his expression was wooden, and a voice sounded in his heart: "It's over, it's over, Japan is over!" Is it to punish me for snatching my father's jade seal? ”
After all, the palace is a bit far away from the city, and we can't see it too clearly, but from Hirohito, who is pale and has lost his manners, we can clearly feel that this is really a "heavenly punishment"!
A train that was entering Tokyo had just slowed down, but it was rushing into the sea at a faster speed, and if you looked closely, you could see that it was not the train that was sprinting, but the land under the train that was rushing into Tokyo Bay at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour!
Not far from this scene, the same train that had just come out of the tunnel suddenly disappeared, because the rolling mountain collapsed like crumpled powder, instantly "drowning" the train below the mountain.
The most spectacular is the sea surface of Tokyo Bay, from the port of Yokohama, Tokyo Bay to the vast desert of the Sea of Japan suddenly set off a monstrous wave, the 10,000-ton giant ship was thrown into the sky like a toy, and then smashed down and sank to the bottom of the sea.
From 11:58 a.m. to 12:10 p.m., the devastating tsunami, which lasted for three minutes, instantly engulfed more than 8,000 ships, damaged countless ships, and basically disappeared from the ships moored in Tokyo Bay, leaving only countless heads struggling on the sea and shouting desperately.
Tokyo has been razed to the ground, the land is in ruins, the once formidable buildings have fallen, and humanity has to admit its own insignificance before the power of nature.
What's more, he is a perverted and guilty nation, and his suffering has to make people believe in one sentence - "self-retribution"!
Residents of Tokyo no longer have to cook, wooden houses have been burning, countless sparks that have escaped from the fires are burning in all directions, and after the thunderous earthquake, a series of brilliant fireworks are staged.
The port of Yokohama was burned down, and there were barbecue farms everywhere. The square of the army uniform field could not protect the people of sin, because this factory specializing in the production of demonic clothing also burned, and the monstrous flames burned the sins of this world in an instant.
The most exciting scene is the scene of the water fire in Tokyo Bay. As the rumbling fire scorched so hot that countless people jumped into Tokyo Bay and soaked their anxious hearts in the cold water, tens of thousands of grizzled faces stood on the mountain and watched the people of Tokyo City on fire in the distance.
Just as they stared blankly at the moment in front of them, the oil depot built not far from the shore leaked, and hundreds of thousands of fuel oil were dumped into the sea.
This is the oil depot of Mobil Oil Company, which is the largest supplier of oil to the Japanese market, and the oil depot of Occidental Petroleum Company, which is not enthusiastic about the Japanese market, is built in the western city of Osaka and is lucky to escape.
The oil blackened the seawater, and the choking smell frightened the Japanese who were enjoying the "cold" in the sea, and they hurriedly ran to the shore, but unfortunately it was too late!
When their time came, the entire Tokyo Bay was on fire, hundreds of thousands of tons of seawater were burned into water vapor, and the sea was foggy.
Those who were fortunate to have escaped were stunned, and they watched from afar, covering their mouths with horror in their eyes. Even after a few kilometers, you can still feel a wave of heat coming from the sea.
They had to retreat again and again, carefully avoiding the broken limbs of the stumps under their feet, and spontaneously walked towards the palace.
More and more people gathered in front of the palace gates, numb, desperate, and resentful to look at the palace unharmed. Half a million people gathered in the palace square, and the king of Aceh Sisi seemed to complain silently.
In addition to the Imperial Palace, hundreds of thousands of lost souls have gathered in parks such as Ueno and Hibiya, and many more people are reminded of the old legend: in the depths of the Sea of Japan, there is a huge catfish; If the sun goddess is dissatisfied with the ruler of the earth, the catfish will turn over and an earthquake will erupt. Only if the emperor immediately abdicates the throne will the disaster stop and the aftershocks and fires will pass.
The emperor's abdication? Everyone knows that Daimasa is a fool, and now it is Hirohito who is leading the country, do you want me to abdicate?
Hirohito gritted his teeth, looked out the window with a grim face, and didn't say a word. He felt the weight of a million tons in his chest, and it was difficult to breathe. Thinking of something, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes! (To be continued) RQ
