The Sierra is an old-fashioned merchant ship for both passenger and cargo purposes, running the route from France to Shanghai, although it flies the French flag, but it is actually an Annam colonial ship, and the people who take this kind of ship are poor ghosts who can't afford to take a luxury cruise ship, Yang Feng really can't think of anyone who will know him on such a ship.

Hearing that Yang Feng was on the Marauder, he immediately put down the boat on the other side and sent two people, both in their twenties, East Asian faces, and I couldn't figure out whether they were Chinese.

"Mr. Yang, contemptible Park Yinan, this is my friend Kim Dong-ho, I have admired your name for a long time!" As soon as the two guys spoke, the bottom of the rod was immediately revealed.

"We are both members of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, and we have been studying in France before, and when you came to England, we were entrusted by Mr. Kim Koo to go to London in the hope of visiting you, but unfortunately you just left, and we thought that we would not have the opportunity to meet you, but we did not want to meet here by accident." Pu Bangzi said with a relieved face.

Yang Feng immediately changed his face and said solemnly: "It turned out to be an anti-log soldier from South Korea, please come and sit in the cabin, Captain Andrew, and the Serra will be at the same speed." ”

Although he doesn't have a good impression of sticks, he likes to work with the Japanese on sticks, and he is more welcome, these guys have done a lot of practical things, and even the Japanese emperor dares to assassinate them, such people are still worth admiring, of course, more importantly, they are worth using.

"Mr. Jin Jiu also knows that he is contemptible? That's a great honor! In the living room on the top floor, Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Mr. Jin actually intended to visit Mr. Yang for a long time, but you also know that our identity is delicate, and the Japanese have been watching us very closely, and if they let them know that you have a relationship with us, I am afraid it will cause you some trouble, so I want to take advantage of your opportunity abroad. Let us convey his tribute to you. Park Bangzi said.

"Yes, I understand your distress very well." Yang Feng waved his hand and said: "Actually, I am also very supportive of the cause you insist on, Mr. Jin Jiu and Chairman Li Dongning are people I respect very much, we don't need to be polite, if there is anything that needs my service, just ask, as long as I can and never shirk." ”

"Mr. Yang. To tell the truth, we, the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, are preparing to organize a liberation army to sneak back to the country, launch a popular uprising, expel the Japanese invaders, and recover our land. Park Bangzi said with a holy face.

"What a strong man! For your indomitable spirit, it should also be revealed! Magritte, bring the wine, and I will give you a glass to the two strong men! Yang Feng stood up and shouted to Margaret not far away.

Park Kim and the others quickly stood up. After a toast with Yang Feng alone, he said a little unspeakably: "It's just that although we don't lack warriors who have recovered the country, we lack funds, and it's hard to get even weapons." ”

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal! Isn't it just a weapon? I, Yang Feng, don't dare to say anything else, it's still easy to support some of your guns.

It's not convenient for you to sneak back to the country with weapons, so let's do it! Your people go back first, and then enter the Changbai Mountains. Get in touch with the Liaoning People's Self-Defense Army of General Tang Juwu there, and they will supply you with weapons.

Rest assured. General Tang and I are friends, his weapons are all provided by me, and they have been operating very well in the Changbai Mountains recently, and now they have formed a solid base, you can completely unite with them, so that you can attack, retreat, and defend. Yang Feng said.

This is an offer that benefits both parties. The sticks have a rear base, Tang Juwu has increased his manpower, as for weapons or anything, Yang Feng really doesn't care, he has airdropped weapons to Tang Juwu a total of three times so far, all of which are Russian-style weapons exchanged with medicines and the Soviets. A total of 200,000 yuan was spent, and Tang Juwu sent him back ginseng, deer antler, musk and other things worth more than 40 million yuan in two batches, even if the account should not be counted like this, Yang Feng also thought that this was a good business, and he now wished that Tang Juwu would extend his power into North Korea! Ginseng in Changbai Mountain is not only found in China.

The two sticks looked excited, they didn't expect Yang Feng to be so good at talking, Pu Bangzi hesitated and said, "Mr. Yang, can you write us a letter, so that it will be more convenient for us to meet General Tang." ”

"There's no need for this, I just need to say it to General Tang Juwu, by the way, look at what you're wearing, life is not easy, Margaret will take my check." Yang Feng then wrote them a check for $10,000.

"This is my little caution, go back and tell Mr. Jin Jiu for me, if you need help in the future, you can contact Shanghai Jinyuan directly." Yang Feng handed them the check and said.

The two sticks returned to the Serra with great gratitude, and the Marauder continued on its way, stopping briefly in Singapore and then heading north again, and as soon as they arrived in Guangzhou, Yang Feng received an unexpected news that something had happened in Jidong again.

After all, he and Song Ziwen alone hoarded more than one-fifth of the total reserves of the United States in their hands, and this effect did not appear before the silver bill, but as soon as the silver bill was introduced, the shortage of silver in the market immediately appeared, and the silver price entered the one-dollar mark half a year ahead of schedule, which also caught all parties off guard.

The smuggling of silver in eastern Jidong, which was originally rampant in history, quickly evolved into a crazy state, in fact, it can no longer be called smuggling, and the Japanese armed ronin, and even the Japanese army in a different vest, are participating in this gluttonous feast, and their merchants take advantage of the information advantage to buy silver from the remote Chinese mainland, and then transport it into Jidong from various channels, and load it in Qinhuangdao and ship it back to Japan.

At this time, the military demarcation line between the two sides is the Luanhe River, although the Chinese army can not enter the east of Hebei, but the customs anti-smuggling team has the right, in fact, nominally Qinhuangdao Customs still belongs to China, but the Japanese made a group of traitors, made a self-government in the east of Hebei, sent people to forcibly occupy the Qinhuangdao Customs, and expelled the original customs personnel out of the Luan, correspondingly, Tianjin Customs set up cards along the Luanhe River and the mouth of the Great Wall, surrounded Qinhuangdao from three sides, and the anti-smuggling team is still patrolling in eastern Hebei, In order to seal off the Japanese smuggled goods from Qinhuangdao and the northeast into North China.

There had been conflicts with Japanese smugglers from time to time, and the frenzied smuggling of silver caused by the skyrocketing price of silver had completely heated up this conflict, and it had almost turned into a war between the customs anti-smuggling team and the armed Japanese smugglers. However, because of the presence of traitor forces and the behind-the-scenes support of the Japanese military, the customs side suffered heavy losses, and dozens of anti-smuggling team members died in the conflict in just a few months.

In order to deal with this situation, He Yingqin announced on the one hand that he would prohibit the flow of silver into eastern Hebei under the pretext of establishing an illegal autonomous government in eastern Hebei, and on the other hand, on the premise that he could not use the army. sent Yang Feng's people, of course, these were all agreed by telegram to Yang Feng, on the condition that the goods seized in the anti-smuggling process would be returned to the security division.

It is true that Yang Feng's current security brigade has been renamed the security division, although the official name is still the Fengtai Industrial Park Security Team, but the number has increased to 15,000 people, of which the division headquarters and directly subordinate troops are stationed in Fengtai, the first brigade is stationed in Tianjin, and the second brigade is stationed in Tongzhou and Wanping respectively.

Ho Yingqin's way of dealing with it. With the protection of these elite armed forces, the anti-smuggling situation along the Luan River was immediately reversed, and within a month, millions of smuggled silver dollars were seized, and a batch of other smuggled goods was also seized.

At this moment, the Japanese couldn't stand it, and there was a limit to how much they could tolerate Yang Feng, which was obviously beyond the scope of what they could tolerate, and the anti-smuggling team was near Luan County two days ago. Once again, there was a fight with a group of armed Japanese ronins transporting silver.

Out of hatred for the anti-smuggling team, a group of Japanese people entered from Qinhuangdao to smuggle cotton cloth. The Japanese side protested to the Nationalist Government with this and demanded that the murderers be severely punished, otherwise the Japanese troops stationed in Shanhaiguan would enter eastern Hebei to protect the safety of legitimate Japanese businessmen.

They are based on: These merchants who transported cotton cloth belonged to legitimate businessmen, because their goods had already been paid and declared at Qinhuangdao Customs, and they were not smugglers.

"Does the national government still recognize the customs clearance right of Qinhuangdao Customs?" Yang Feng asked Chen Jitang, who was sitting across from him, he was invited by Chen Jitang to be a guest here, because Situ Meitang was now here with Chen Jitang.

"Don't admit it!" Chen Jitang said with a smile. The Southern Heavenly King is always happy when the bald guy gets into trouble.

"That's the end of it!" Yang Feng shrugged and said.

"But the Japanese don't recognize China's non-recognition!" Chen Jitang gave a very tongue-twisting answer.

"Their argument is that the problem between the National Government and the Jidong Autonomous Government is an internal problem of our Chinese, and it has nothing to do with them, and they only know that their merchants have obtained legal customs clearance rights in China Customs, but in China, they are still treated as smugglers, which is a serious violation." He then explained.

"Hmph, the strong words are nothing more than trying to take the opportunity to let their army enter eastern Hebei and provide protection for their smuggling." Situ Meitang said with a sneer on the side.

Yang Feng touched his chin and thought about how to deal with it, in fact, he really had no excuse to make trouble, because this matter had nothing to do with him anyway, after all, the security guard was involved in anti-smuggling by changing his vest, and the profits of silver smuggling were too great, the difference between silver at home and abroad was nearly doubled, and if it was a greater difference in those inland and remote places, the Japanese could not give up such huge profits no matter what, even if they continued to pick up the stick of trade sanctions, it might not work, it seems that the north is destined to make a fuss.

However, the current situation is indeed very bad, in order to pursue a certain army that is desperate at the end of the world, the bald guy transferred the entire army of He Zhuguo on the Luanhe defense line, and also transferred the young master's division to the south, Zhang Tingshu is indeed a gentleman, and he resigned without hesitation.

Yang Feng only stayed in Guangzhou for a short time, and then went straight to Shanghai, the entry of the Marauder made the crowd in Shanghai welcome Yang Feng surprised, although he already knew that the cargo brought back a cruiser converted yacht, but seeing it with his own eyes is another matter, you must know that the largest warship of the Chinese Navy at this time is not as big as his yacht.

Yang Feng stood at the bow of the ship with his arms around Margaret's small waist, which was also quite proud, and when he passed the Wusong Fortress, he was very happy with the envious and hateful gaze of the navy.

"Brother Yang, this person is more angry than others!" Wu Tiecheng said with a smile to Yang Feng who walked down the gangway.

"Mayor Wu is embarrassed to say this, brother, my ship will have to dock in Shanghai for a long time in the future, and you have to take care of me." Yang Feng said.

The Marauder was not prepared to continue northward, and it would be troublesome if it was blocked by the Japanese in the Haihe River one day, and it was very convenient for him to fly to and from Shanghai anyway, not only that. In the future, Yang Feng's landing location will have to be changed to Shanghai as much as possible.

At this time, it was already winter in Shanghai, and Margaret, who had been in the tropics for a long time, shouted cold as soon as she got off the boat, so Yang Feng did not delay too long at the wharf, but only dealt with reporters from all walks of life slightly, and then participated in the reception banquet held for him by the Shanghai industrial and commercial circles with Wu Tiecheng. Margaret, who changed into an evening dress, was amazed.

"Brother Yang, you are happy!" Lu Zuofu, who was already familiar with him, said with a smile.

"Isn't that the good thing about being young? Lu Gong, I am going to invest in a big project in Chongqing, are you interested in participating? And I have to rely on your fleet for this project. Yang Feng said.

"Tell me about it?" Lu Zuofu immediately came to the spirit, the last time Yang Feng proposed the tractor factory, because these wealthy businessmen in Shanghai were not familiar with it, so it didn't work, and now look at the small hand support from Beiping is becoming more and more popular, and then look at the women in Yunshang. On the contrary, relying on Yang Feng to make the market bigger and bigger, even the clothing can be exported to foreign countries, and I regret it one by one! Now there is another opportunity in front of us, but we can't miss it anymore.

"First of all, the Germans will build a 200,000-kilowatt power plant in Chongqing, and I have half of the equity in this power plant, so you have to help me take care of the local affairs."

"It's a trivial matter, we can't ask for such a large power plant!" Lu Zuofu nodded and said that there is no railway in Chongqing. Coal used in power plants has to be transported by ship, and he is the boss in shipping on the Yangtze River. It's a business for yourself.

"After the power plant is built, I will open a special factory in Chongqing, and I will provide the machinery and technology to refine some special things, and the raw materials will be shipped from the United States. The products can't be sold out, all of them will be handed over to me, of course I will set aside a fixed profit of 20%, are you interested. Yang Feng said.

"Brother Yang, what are you going to make?" Lu Zuofu asked confusedly.

"You don't understand. They are all some special metals, our Yanhuang laboratory uses itself, you only need to know that there is a 20% profit, of course, your transportation costs are still according to the market. ”

Lu Zuofu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, just rush at your brother Yang's signboard, I did this business." ”

"That's okay, I won't look for others to cooperate, you are responsible for the construction fee, I am responsible for the machine technology, and we will have half of the equity." Yang Feng said.

In this way, the two decided on the way of cooperation, of course, it could not be carried out in the short term, Yang Feng had to find a few reassuring talents to go to the United States to be responsible for opening rare earth mines.

"By the way, Lu Gong, do you have any talents in mining to introduce a few to my brothers, I bought a mine in the United States, and now there is a shortage of people to open mines."

"I'll keep an eye on it for you!" Lu Zuofu said.

"Okay!" Yang Feng nodded.

He can be said to be unfamiliar with Chongqing, and he will definitely have a lot of trouble after he goes, but it will be simple if he hands over this job to Lu Zuofu, this guy is the real head snake in Chongqing, the overlord of the Yangtze River shipping.

While the two were talking, Uncle Guo, who was belated, walked in, and at first glance it was full of spring breeze, but it was no wonder that anyone who made a windfall would inevitably look like this.

"It's still too early to make a move, and now the U.S. market has risen to $1.1, but it's not a loss." After finding a place to sit down with Yang Feng, he said with some unfinished words.

"How to deal with it at home?" Yang Feng asked.

"We are negotiating privately with the Americans to get them to stop collecting and storing them."

"Can it be done?"

"Even if it can be done, it will have to satisfy the appetite of the silver group, and the Ministry of Finance is ready to reform the currency system, from the silver standard to the gold standard, and then the silver will stop circulating, and all will be changed to legal tender, you have to prepare in advance." Song Ziwen said.

"I don't have it in my hands now, that is, I have some left for the workers to pay their wages." Yang Feng waved his hand and said, he doesn't care about the bald guy issuing fiat currency, now the vast majority of Jinyuan's business is abroad, and the money he makes from those factories in China is mainly subsidized in the arsenal, and the bullets and shells and even mortars he sells are basically bartered, so it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of liquidity, and he must rely on Jinyuan subsidies.

"What's the situation in Jidong now?" Yang Feng asked again.

"What else? Now that the Japanese army has begun to enter eastern Hebei, what else can we do but protest? The defenders in North China are now almost halfway gone, and they originally wanted to transfer Song Zheyuan to the south, but Song Zheyuan refused, and asked Sun Kuiyuan to be careful, the Japanese are now hooking up with those princes in Inner Mongolia, and if they don't get it, they will definitely not be able to attack Sun Kuiyuan, if they want to move the Guannei, it will definitely not work if they don't solve Sun Kuiyuan first. Song Ziwen said.

The contradiction between Sun Dianying and King De has long intensified, and the scope of his reclamation is getting bigger and bigger, especially after Yang Feng imported a batch of long-cashmere breeding sheep from abroad for him, this contradiction has reached the point where there is no other way to solve it except by force.

Because Sun Dianying is now encroaching on King De, not only the territory, but also people, the old bandits don't know how to graze, but the Mongolian herdsmen understand, these herdsmen are also very bitter under King De, Sun Dianying's conditions are better, it is easy to lure the herdsmen to his side, and change his clothes and become his people.

This is already provoking King De's bottom line, he was already hooking up with the Japanese, and now he is hooking up even more.

Sun Dianying actually did it on purpose, he is now strong and strong, and after fighting with King De's people a few times, he found that these descendants of Genghis Khan are very scummy in combat, and he and Feng Zhanhai are fully capable of sweeping the Inner Mongolia tribes, and the old bandits under him are also full of enthusiasm for this, and they urgently need to solve their spiritual needs when their material life has been satisfied, Yang Feng provides them with weapons, food, and the ocean, but they only do not provide women, so these guys are eyeing the Mongolian women.
