But even Hu Weidong himself didn't expect that this Osaka man named Kato Kiyogen was not small (it is true that Osaka people are afraid of death, but they dare to take risks in business. As long as Hu Weidong did not explicitly prohibit it, he dared to do it, and later made instant noodles become the standard field food of the Japanese army, and the instant noodle factory he operated became the designated supplier of the Japanese army to make a lot of money. Later, however, this guy explained to the Chinese leaders that "the root cause of the Japanese army's ineffective logistics is that it is not taken seriously, and a mere kind of field dry food will not be of much help, and the Japanese officers and men will bring more food, and the number of disasters to the Chinese people will be somewhat less." Besides, after we control the ration supply of the Japanese army, we can do something to it at any time as long as the chief deems it necessary.

Hu Weidong also learned about this later, and couldn't help but secretly slander himself, "Sure enough, traitors are more hateful than enemies." Despite this, Hu Weidong still acquiesced to Kato Kiyogen's approach, which can not only make money but also make a fool from time to time, why not? Anyway, food safety in this era is far less important than that of later generations, as long as it is done cleanly, and the devil may not be able to realize that there is a problem with instant noodles In addition, instant noodles have also produced a chain effect after the popularity of Japan, that is, it has prompted the rapid development of polyethylene and other plastic film industries after World War II in advance (in fact, in 1936, the jishu of polyethylene has been relatively mature, and the reason why the production scale is not large is because there is not much market demand, as long as there is a market, The industry was able to develop very quickly. ), but all kinds of plastic films need petroleum as the basic raw material. As a result, the price of Shijie oil has risen sharply, leaving Japan facing an oil shortage earlier than in history

After solving the source of soldiers and money. Hu Weidong put forward the idea of a "united front," asking these Japanese comrades to concentrate their spearhead on the most important enemy -- the dictatorial and aggressive Japanese warlords, especially the Japanese War Department, while they tried their best to win over the bourgeois democrats and other intermediaries, at least to neutralize them, and even to make good use of the contradictions between the Japanese army and navy. These highly targeted proposals enabled the Japanese Communist Party to develop at an unprecedented speed, and although it was still a step behind the Chinese Red Party, which was rising in the east, it was enough to provide more and more help to China's war of resistance. Due to Hu Weidong's early layout, the internationalists in the Japanese Communist Party, such as Nosaka Sansan, were completely marginalized. The leadership of the Japanese Communist Party has always been firmly in the hands of the pro-China faction that had been cultivated by Kang Da. This had a profound impact in the future

Although the Japanese military department's control over the country was beyond Hu Weidong's imagination, so that the Japanese Communist Party still failed to grow to the point he expected, it was still thousands of times stronger than in history, and its help in China's War of Resistance was far from being comparable to that of the Japanese Communist Party, which was limited to propaganda and intelligence in history

For security reasons, Hu Weidong and others only stayed in Japan for more than 10 days. They sailed to the United States, the most important destination of the trip, and even then, by the time they arrived in San Francisco, it was already late September. At this time, the precursors of the 37-year economic crisis had appeared, but there were not too many targets worth acquiring, and Hu Weidong also happened to use this time to carry out some other work, first of all, he asked to meet the leader of the Chinese in the Americas - Situ Meitang, a strange man of the Republic of China

Hu Weidong has always had no good impression of people in the underworld, but this Situ Meitang is an exception, because the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States has not yet been repealed. The Chinese would not be able to protect themselves without this, and compared with Du Yuesheng and his ilk who were selling drugs in China and harming the Chinese people, the overseas Hongmen at least never endangered the motherland (or their homeland), and even extended a helping hand to the suffering domestic people again and again. Hu Weidong clearly remembered that during the Anti-Japanese War, overseas Chinese in North America donated a quarter of their income to China, and countless young people returned to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War in various ways. Situ Meitang has contributed to this. Therefore, Hu Weidong showed great respect for this legendary old man who was nearly seventy years old, which made Situ Meitang, who had great appreciation for Hu Weidong because of the Anti-Japanese War in North China, have a good impression of him, and naturally agreed to introduce him to Franklin, who used to be his legal adviser in the past and is now the president of the United States. Draenau. Roosevelt...

Hu Weidong knows very well that in the business empire of the United States, the president is just a puppet of the major conglomerates, but this is only relative. Moreover, Roosevelt gained unprecedented prestige after leading Americans out of the Great Depression, and his influence on the United States cannot be ignored even by the super-conglomerates who control the United States behind the scenes. Besides, Hu Weidong just wanted to use his liliang to ensure that some patents would not be hacked by others, and they did not include profiteering goods such as penicillin, which Roosevelt could still do.

Although Roosevelt had a friendship with Situ Meitang, after becoming president, everything had to be based on the interests of the United States, and personal feelings had to be put second. However, Hu Weidong's request is reasonable, and it will also be of great help to the current declining US economy, so Roosevelt is still very willing to help, but although he is the president of the United States, he can only guarantee that the patent application will be passed as soon as possible, but he cannot promise that Hu Weidong or the shili behind him can really get the huge benefits that these patents should bring, because those big conglomerates can directly copy the patent rights regardless of the constraints of patent rights. Although Hu Weidong could theoretically fight a lawsuit with them, with the energy of the big conglomerates, the lawsuit could be long enough to drag on until the plaintiff's bankruptcy or even the end of the patent protection period, and all of this would be legal unless Hu Weidong could find a backer or ally enough to compete with them

"Ford?" The more Hu Weidong thought about it, the more he felt that this suggestion was reasonable, Jewish consortia like Rockefeller and Morgan had a good calculation, and there were some entanglements between these Jewish conglomerates, and it was not impossible to join hands to lower prices, and as a Chinese who were already very weak in the United States, they would inevitably suffer a great loss in negotiating with them. The old Ford is different, he is not so much a capitalist, it is more appropriate to call an industrialist, and his business philosophy with "profit" as the core is unique in this era, if you cooperate with Ford, the price given by the other party should be much fairer. In addition, the elder Ford himself is still a jishu house, and he should be able to see the true value of his patents better than businessmen like Rockefeller and Morgan (your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
