Chapter 609: There Will Be Dollar Hegemony?
Later researchers found that Qin Wei and Ishihara were like a tacit partner. Because no matter what the former does or the latter does, the other will quickly take advantage of the situation, or quickly turn the disadvantage into an advantage...... This makes it seem as if the one who made the previous action is deliberately setting the stage for the latter.
Just like this time, when Hirohito was still at a loss for Ishihara's so-called "someone to help", the fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force had already torn Hao Pengju, the governor and security commander of "Huaihai Province" and the director of the Xuzhou Pacification Office, appointed by Wang's puppet Central Political Commissar, to shreds.
This Hao Pengju is another typical villain in the Republic of China era. Just like Shi Yousan, who was buried alive by his subordinates before, he was also Feng Yuxiang's subordinate, but this person's performance level was too far worse than Shi Yousan, and Feng Yuxiang didn't like it, so he never got reused. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Hao Pengju served as a staff officer under Hu Zongnan, and under his arrangement, he served as the chief of the major general of the Xi'an Seventh Branch of the Central Military Academy, but soon he was detained by Chiang Kai-shek because of his failed adultery with the wife of a regiment commander. In 1940, Hao Pengju managed to escape from prison and defected to Wang Jingwei's puppet regime. This person first rebelled against Li Changjiang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Lusu guerrilla attack of the Nationalist Government, and later served as the chief of education of the "Central Army General Training Corps" in 1941. Later, he adhered to Wang's puppet will, recruited 4 armies and more than 70,000 troops, actively opposed the communists, and fought against the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. This person once instructed traitor literati to publish "Hao Pengju's Treatise" in the newspaper, which was used to boast and express that he had "smeared his liver and brain on the ground, and then died" against Japan. And not so long ago. He was also appointed governor of "Huaihai Province", stationed in Xuzhou, established an armed force of four divisions and an independent brigade, and was named commander-in-chief of the Eighth Front Army of Wang Jingwei's regime.
Such a big traitor, but the reputation of the future generations is not obvious, Qin Wei was afraid of accidental injury, so he inquired and investigated, but found that this is simply a thing that has milk and is a mother. This person not only had no face and skin, but also had no Chinese consciousness, and defected to the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was even absorbed by the Nationalist Government and appointed as the commander-in-chief of the newly formed Sixth Route Army, but because he was not taken seriously, he was used as cannon fodder by the Nationalist Government. It revolted and surrendered to the New Fourth Army...... Of course, if it ends here. That's what this man is all about. But the problem is. Less than two months after the uprising, seeing Lao Chiang's murderous all-out offensive and the posture of wanting to completely wipe out the Communist Party, he was frightened again, and actually secretly took refuge in the Nationalist Government, and specially designed to trap the leaders of the New Fourth Army. Among them was Chen Yi, commander of the New Fourth Army...... Although Chen Yi and others only sent representatives at that time and escaped the catastrophe, Hao Pengju's old classmate, Zhu Kejing, secretary general of the New Fourth Army, was arrested. Hao Pengju not only didn't miss his classmates. He also beat gongs and drums to kidnap Zhu Kejing and send him to the Kuomintang to ask for merit, and boasted everywhere that he had captured the secretary general of the New Fourth Army alive on the battlefield. In the end, Zhu Kejing was unyielding, tortured, and finally secretly killed by the Kuomintang.
Originally, Hao Pengju would have been quickly defeated by the New Fourth Army after surrendering to Chiang Kai-shek again, and he was captured alive, and then in the process of escaping, he was killed by the soldiers of the New Fourth Army. But Qin Wei felt that it was too cheap, this guy. Such a faceless, skinless, shameless, and shameless guy, let him live a few more years, wouldn't he have to do a lot of things that would humiliate the Chinese? Therefore, he instructed Zhou Fohai to go to this guy's territory at the first stop. As for Zhou Fohai, he had a very hot fight with this "full-time Erwuzai" surnamed Hao, but unfortunately although the Japanese army began to retreat on the Chinese battlefield, Hao Peng did not feel too much discomfort in Jiangsu, after all, he is now in the "rear" of the Japanese army, and he is surrounded by Japanese troops, it is impossible to surrender with his 70,000 troops, let alone give up this "capital" that depends on him to maintain his position! Zhou Fohai wanted to make more efforts, after all, the credit for persuading such a "front army" to surrender was not small, which was very beneficial to improving his treatment on the side of the Nationalist Government, but he did not get any chance at all. Just as he was pondering whether to carry Qin Wei behind his back to contact Hao Pengju again, Hao Pengju was on his way out of the city to inspect the troops when he was hit by a fighter squad sent by the Chinese Air Force in the Fifth Theater.
But Hao Pengju is only the first.
Within a month, Wang Shengwu, commander-in-chief of the puppet Xingya Allied Army, and Cai Xiongfei, commander-in-chief of the puppet East Asian Imperial Allied Army, were killed one after another. In the end, the traitors in Wang's puppet regime, Wang puppet Kuomintang Central Committee, Political Commissar of the Central Committee, member of the Supreme National Defense Council, member of the Military Points Committee, commander-in-chief of the First Front Army, vice president and acting president of the Military Senate, minister of the Navy, governor of Jiangsu Province, director of the Suzhou Pacification Office, and commander of the Jiangsu Provincial Security Command, were also blown to pieces by several roadside bombs that suddenly appeared, and there were no dead bodies...... Soon after the deaths of these people, Wu Huawen, commander of the puppet Third Front Army, Pang Bingxun, commander-in-chief of the puppet 24th Group Army, Sun Dianying, deputy commander-in-chief, and a number of important generals under them abandoned the army and fled.
For a time, Wang Jingwei's Nanjing government became a pot of porridge, and the name of Zhou Fohai's "plague god" began to gradually spread among traitors. However, this situation seemed to be in line with the Japanese wishes, taking advantage of the opportunity of the commander to either die or flee, the Japanese sent some officers and soldiers into these chaotic puppet army units, quickly seized control, and then, the number of these units was abolished, and then began to "change the guard"......
***************************************
"This 'credit hegemony'...... What the hell is it? ”
Ishihara didn't know much about economics, but he dared to tell Hirohito about this, and he went around to oil. But in fact, don't look at the truth after reason when he told Hirohito, but he still didn't understand the terms he proposed...... And this kind of thing also happened to Lao Jiang and others.
Originally, if it was just Qin Wei to fool the Japanese, so that these Japanese had nothing to do to do a more "majestic" career, they wouldn't care. But when Qin Wei drew up this plan, he told them that "credit hegemony" can really be generated. And the existence of a country that really controls world hegemony, and even the world's economic dominance, can't help but pay attention to it. Especially Lao Jiang...... He doesn't know much, but he is still very sensitive to such things as world economic dominance. Although he knew that this power certainly could not belong to China, he still wanted to find out a little bit about it...... Economy, isn't that money?
"How to say it...... From luring Ishihara Wan'er to set his sights on Africa, to sending Zhou Fohai to persuade those traitor warlords to surrender and help the other party gather enough troops, Qin Wei has been paying attention to the actions of the Japanese. Because this is the biggest plan he has made so far, it can be said. If he succeeds, Britain and the United States will basically not want to set foot in East Asia or even most of Asia, and Japan will be successfully divided into two by him. Of course, China also needs to take a little risk with this plan. But what surprised him was that from Lao Jiang down. Everyone who knew about his plans. I didn't even care much. Later, in a conversation with He Yingqin, he realized that these people were actually full of confidence in this plan...... The Japanese attacked Suez and lost, losing part of their troops; If you win, you will have to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in Egypt. After all, the importance of it to Britain and the United States is not at the same level as that of Burma. In this way, the Chinese side will get more respite, and it can be said that the longer Japan can hold out in Egypt. The situation will be more favorable to China. Of course, there are also concerns that after the fall of Suez, it will be difficult for China to receive foreign support. But the reality is quite the opposite. Because once Suez is cut off, in order to let China contribute to the rear to involve Japan, Britain and the United States will increase their support for China, as for the lack of the Suez Canal as a short road, this is not a problem, isn't the long road of the Cape of Good Hope still there?
Therefore, Lao Jiang and others now have a little bit of strength to sit firmly in Diaoyutai, and even have the heart to care about economic issues.
"To talk about this 'credit hegemony', we must first talk about 'credit'...... Of course, this is different from what we usually talk about credit. We all know about free trade, in fact, one of the great changes brought about by the expansion of free trade around the world is actually the monetization of the economy, or the credit. Qin Wei thought for a long time before he reluctantly said such a sentence.
"According to you, credit is money?" Song Meiling interjected. Because of Qin Wei's meddling in foreign affairs, she didn't get the opportunity to go to the United States to show her ability, so she had a lot less to worry about, and there were fewer and fewer things she could manage, and the whole person became richer because of this.
"So to speak." Qin Wei thought for a moment and nodded, "I discussed it with Ma Yinchu, and we both believe that the deeper the development of the market economy, the more extensive the process of economic monetization will be, and the monetization of the economy will lead to the creditization and debtization of the economy. As this world war drags on, it is almost certain that the United States will be the only profitable victor who will dominate the post-war world economy. In order to ensure their dominance over the world economy, they will inevitably use various means to promote 'trade freedom' after the war, so as to achieve the goal of supplying the whole world with American industry and then destroying the industrial development of all countries in the world. ”
"This means that the monetary credit of the United States will become the first in the world, and they will become the country with 'credit hegemony' in the future?" Song Meiling asked.
"The only country." Qin Wei emphasized.
"What is the use of this 'credit hegemony'?" Lao Jiang is still puzzled, "Everyone knows that the United States has money, and the dollar will become the world's hardest hard currency, but what can be done like this?" If I don't use dollars, what can they do with me? ”
"As long as we don't go to war with the United States, we can only surrender to the dollar." Qin Wei sighed, "Because, when the U.S. dollar becomes the only currency recognized by the whole world, Americans only need to keep running their money printing factories to continuously grab wealth from all over the world...... Face for them to have the world's first credit! Everyone knows that the dollar is strong! ”
"Can't break this situation?" Old Jiang frowned.
"I can't." Qin Wei shook his head, "Unless the United States is defeated!" ”
"Aren't we just calculating Britain and the United States?" Lao Jiang looked at him, "Isn't there a way to let them lose both?" ”
"......" (To be continued......)
