Chapter 409: Japan's internal divisions (asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and various !! )
Businessmen chase profits, but only some businessmen can earn profits, and some businessmen will lose money instead of making money. What kind of businessman is a successful businessman, and conversely, what kind of qualities does a successful businessman have?
The answer is vision – the vision to spot business opportunities! The most important thing if you want to earn profits is not how much capital you have, let alone how prominent your status is, but that you must be able to see the extraordinary in the ordinary and find business opportunities in life. Australian businessmen first discovered the business opportunity, and they found that no matter what goods they shipped to the South Seas, as long as the price was reasonable, they would ask for daily necessities, industrial raw materials, and production equipment, and it seemed that as long as they were commodities, they would receive them.
Of course, the premise is that there is no problem with the quality of your goods, and the price cannot be separated from the actual value of the goods. Some foreign trade businessmen took some counterfeit and shoddy products to sell to the Nanyang Territory, but after being found out, they directly returned the goods, and what is even more tragic is that the Nanyang Consulate Council directly listed those profiteers as an undesirable group, and informed the whole territory that they would refuse to allow those guys' goods to enter the Nanyang Territory in the future, which sounded the alarm for all Australian businessmen.
Australian businessmen are happy, the government is happy, and the economic crisis of 29 years has also affected Australia, because Australia has not been independent for a long time, so the ability to resist the crisis is not strong, so Australia's economic development is not fast, and it has not fully recovered from the economic crisis ten years ago. Otherwise, Australia would not have sold Tasmania and New Guinea, they are really short of money.
There is still a large backlog of goods in Australia. Many of these commodities were produced a few years ago, and since people have not yet recovered from the economic crisis, their purchasing power is very limited, resulting in a large backlog of goods. The Chen family developed Nanyang Collar on a large scale, which made many factory owners also see business opportunities, and a large number of backlog products were continuously sent to Nanyang Ling, who didn't care whether the product was advanced, as long as it could still be used, and the price was cheap enough, then those who came did not refuse.
For a while, the entire Australian market seemed to come alive all at once. A large number of factories have been opened. The Australian government has made a lot of money from port taxes alone, which has made some lawmakers in Australia who were originally complaining about the sale of islands.
During this time, the most lively is the Nanyang Territory, where a group of immigrants will be transported every two or three days from the five bases. During this time, a total of more than 400,000 immigrants landed in Nanyang Territory. The various departments of the Nanyang Consulate Council worked together to resettle these migrants. After going through a simple partition. All the migrants were sent to various places, mainly industrial areas.
After more than half a year of construction, Nanyang Collar has established 2 port areas. Port Moresby and Port Arthur respectively; At the same time, two heavy industrial zones and one light industrial zone have been established, namely the Southeast Petroleum Industrial Park and the Southwest Iron and Steel Industrial Zone, as well as a Lae City Light Industrial Park. The factories in these industrial zones have already been built, and only workers need to enter the factories to operate, so these migrants are sent to the factories as soon as they arrive.
At the same time, the Nanyang Consulate has signed an employment contract with each immigrant, and the Nanyang Consulate will build a number of houses in various industrial zones to ensure that each family can get a small courtyard, of course, this courtyard is not free, as long as they work for Nanyang Consulate for 3 years, then they will automatically become the official recipients of Nanyang Consulate and enjoy the treatment of official consulates. After five years of working time, the compound becomes their personal property and can be inherited by their descendants.
Of course, during the period when they worked for the Nanyang Consulate, the Nanyang Consulate would also pay them salaries, but in order to balance the price of the territory, only a small part of everyone's salary was in currency, and the vast majority were in kind, such as rice, flour, grain, oil, and meat.
The immigrants did not resist the arrangement of the Nanyang Consular Council, especially the Jews, for whom this kind of life was really a paradise, and their lives could be taken away at any time in Europe, and in addition to Germany, there were other European countries and the Holy See, and not only the Germans would deal with them, but in fact they were not all Germans, there were French, British, Italians, and Spaniards among them. After hearing that Germany could sell these "hated" Jews to the Chinese general, Britain, France, Italy and other countries secretly sent their Jews to Germany and gave them to Hitler for free.
Historically, the Germans were certainly responsible for the catastrophe that caused the near-extermination of the Jews, but Britain and France also had to bear part of the responsibility, and when Hitler massacred the Jews, Britain and France continued to send Jews to Germany, but they did not recognize it after the war.
In the Nanyang Territory, the Jews were treated on an equal footing with the Chinese, the descendants of Western colonizers, and the indigenous population, where there was no distinction between nobles and commoners, and the whole territory seemed to be a huge factory, and the lord seemed to be the factory owner, and these people seemed to be hired laborers, and they did not seem to have much to do with it except for labor relations. Here they were protected by the law, and even some capable Jews were recruited into government and other management, and some of the more educated were sent to schools to work as teachers. Most importantly, the Council promised them that they would not be deprived of their lives and property unless they committed a crime!
The Chen family's vigorous development of the Nanyang Territory has not only made Australians a lot of money, but also benefited from another group, which is the indigenous people of the Nanyang Territory.
Although these natives are barbaric and backward, they have their own social habits and rules, and they will unswervingly carry out the orders of the chief. Due to the lack of labor, in the early development of the Nanyang Territory, the Nanyang Territorial Government Council hired about 100,000 indigenous people to help them work, such as building roads, airports, factories, etc.
In the course of a few months, these indigenous tribes obtained a large amount of property from the Nanyang Territorial Council, but of course it was only relatively speaking, but in fact, the cost of employing the indigenous people was really insignificant in Yan Changxi's opinion, only about one-fifth of the descendants of the Western colonizers. But it's already a huge asset for the indigenous population!
With this beautiful beginning, the indigenous people are very supportive of the Chen family's development of the Nanyang Territory, and the Chen family will certainly not refuse the support of the indigenous tribes.
Good Saibei Province! Nanyang Linghao! Of course, Chen Feng is also good! But some people are not good, and they are not generally bad!
The collapse of the First Army and the raging plague in Japan plunged the entire country into a kind of film-forming grief and indignation, and made the Japanese economy, which was already on the verge of collapse, worse again.
The economy is the foundation of a country, and without the economic foundation, all the superstructure will be affected, or even collapse. The rapid regression of the Japanese economy has caused the wealth accumulated since the Meiji Restoration to disappear rapidly, the poverty of the domestic civilian life is becoming more and more superficial, and the voice of domestic anti-war is rising.
On January 22, 1940, after determining that Chen Feng's headquarters would not launch a new offensive, the commander of the North China Front, General Binshanyuan, was ordered to return to China to report on his workSuch a heavy loss is definitely the most serious loss of the Great Japanese Empire in the past hundred years, and of course the greatest shame.
Regardless of whether such a fiasco was caused by the command error of General Binshan Yuan, the supreme commander of the North China Front Army had to bear the most important responsibility, so the best outcome for His Excellency, a once powerful general, was to transfer to the reserve like General Terauchi Shouichi, and even the possibility of being sentenced was not small.
The departure of Binshan Yuan plunged the entire Japanese army in North China into an unprecedented downturn, and although Japan transferred 100,000 reinforcements to the North China Front, the huge losses could definitely not be compensated for by the same number of reinforcements. Moreover, the plague in China has not been effectively controlled, and many soldiers are very worried about the condition of their families, and the cargo ships and cruise ships between China and Japan have become more frequent for a while.
There were also divisions in Japan about this war, and the vast majority of the officers were still so fanatical, still clamoring for the Imperial Japanese Army to be invincible. The fiasco in North China was just an accident, it was caused by the stupid and stupid command of Binshan Yuan, as long as the commander was changed, the decline could be reversed, and I can't see that the imperial army has already captured Wuhan, the second capital of the people of China, in Central China?
However, a large number of politicians were skeptical of the proposal of the base camp, because the politicians did not understand the fanaticism of the military and the military did not understand the operation of the economy, so the vast majority of Japanese officers and men did not know to what extent the domestic economy had declined, they only felt that the living standards of the people had dropped a lot.
With the military fiasco, the economic recession, and the panic caused by the great plague, some Japanese political leaders and civil anti-war forces openly waved the banner of stopping the war, and for a time the domestic political scene in Japan was turbulent and unpredictable!
