Chapter 297: Extraordinary Means

More than half a year passed from Xue Ru's announcement to stop fighting and carry out full-scale internal construction, that is, after the defeat of the Japanese 2nd Fleet at Ha Long Port. The Southern Han Dynasty, which was inconspicuous and had no news, disappeared from the international perspective.

The only thing that remembers the Southern Han is the Nationalist Government of China, because the trains from Hanoi to Kunming by rail did not stop. The Southern Han Dynasty seems to be doing normal trade, Haiphong Port has become the only big port in the Southern Han Dynasty, more than 100,000 tons of wharves have been established, and there are still a large number of merchant ships parked at anchorage, waiting to enter the port to unload, here is not only the economic channel of the Southern Han Dynasty, but also the passage for China's survival.

Although the British had agreed to open the Burmese border a few months earlier, allowing a large amount of supplies to enter China from Yangon, the journey from Yangon to Myitkyina and then to Kunming was more than twice as long as that of the Southern Han Dynasty.

In addition, the independence movement faction represented by Aung San in Myanmar has been trying to get rid of British colonial rule, and Japan also sees an opportunity to throw out the bait to support Burma's independence and secede from the British and Indian Commonwealth, on the condition that it cut off its support for China, as long as it does this, it can help Myanmar become independent.

For this reason, the Burmese government very much wanted to agree, but the British army in Burma was too strong, and Japan had just signed a friendship treaty with Thailand, so it could not fully control Thailand, and the pro-British forces in Thailand were not small, and the Luang Phibun government did not dare to be too presumptuous, and it was also wary of Japan, and did not agree to station troops in Thailand, which blocked the plan to attack Burma.

What Xue Ru must see every day is the intelligence analysis sent by the Intelligence Department and the Consultant Office, and she pays close attention to the changes in the world situation. In addition to shipping to China, the Southern Han became a mysterious country, and merchants from any country could do business in the Southern Han Dynasty, but they were all closely monitored, their business interests were protected, but the news was strictly controlled.

Many people don't understand why? The Southern Han Dynasty was politically clear and still a very democratic country, and at this time, with the approval of the king, there were already eleven political parties that were legitimate, and although they did not enter the parliament, they also had the right to participate in politics. The Queen's Advisory Board is elected by each party.

In fact, the advisory group of the queen of the Southern Han Dynasty is equivalent to the parliament, but it has the right to participate and has no right to decide. In such a country, the restrictions on news are very strict, and those who know about it do not understand it. In the Southern Han Dynasty, you can criticize the government in any place, and you can also express any political opinions and grievances, but you can't publicize it through the media, a mysterious country, a mysterious system.

In this way, the Southern Han Dynasty has become the most incomprehensible place. For Xue Ru to do this, only a few high-level people understand, but they don't understand, what are they waiting for?

In half a year, with the high efficiency of the Southern Han Dynasty, the administration has entered the normal track, and the local construction has been advancing rapidly, and many light industry and handicraft products have been exported. After entering the European and American markets, they were very popular, and I don't know what the Southern Han Dynasty thought and why they knew so much about the Western market.

In addition, there is the bottomless pit of China, and there are not enough materials, especially daily necessities and people's livelihood products, which are in short supply. Therefore, the most developed and most developed in the Southern Han Dynasty are light industrial products, and the overtime work of the production factories day and night is not enough.

Merchant ships were finally no longer allowed to dock at Ha Long Port, which became a military exclusion zone, as some well-informed people knew that the largest naval base in Nam Han was built in Ha Long Port. It is no longer a commercial port to become a naval base, and I heard that the second largest commercial port is being built in Vinh City, and Thanh Hoa and Daping are also under construction, and the scale is larger, but I am afraid it will be difficult to complete it in a short time.

The most mysterious thing is that the army of the Southern Han Dynasty, after only importing a batch of planes from France, there was no movement, and some American planes appeared in the sky again, which was the biggest change in the Southern Han Dynasty, and the others did not change.

According to official news, the Southern Han Army has hardly changed, it is still four infantry divisions, but four special divisions have been added, and outsiders do not know what divisions.

This shrouded the Southern Han Dynasty with a layer of mystery, and the Japanese army sent countless people to find out the situation, but they undoubtedly failed. What made the Japanese spies most powerless was the Southern Han ID card system. Until now, the Japanese side has not been able to know how it found out. Where did the money come from in the Southern Han Dynasty?

No matter how large the volume of trade is, in terms of investment within the Southern Han Dynasty, they still regard domestic demand as the economic growth point, and even if they can, it is impossible to consume it in more than half a year without problems.

As for where the money of the Southern Han Dynasty came from, I am afraid that only a few people who can count it with one hand know. Even the Minister of Finance, Yuan Fei, did not know where the foreign exchange that kept entering the Southern Han came from. But he didn't care, as long as Nanhan had foreign exchange, he could buy anything. The Southeast Peninsula is a sterling area, and the international currency for settlement is the pound sterling rather than the US dollar, so many people think that Xue Ru has the support of a large consortium abroad.

As for the financial control of the government, everyone with brains understands it, and even Zhang Donglin raised concerns at the meeting, hoping that the queen will not borrow too much money, and the industry and agriculture of the Southern Han Dynasty have basically entered the track, and it will not take long to improve. Trade from Thailand, Burma, and South Vietnam had turned into surpluses, and the exchange of grain and China for resources had also spared the loss of Southern Han industry. In the large area of China's occupation, the economic collapse of the Nationalist government led to skyrocketing prices, which only benefited the Southern Han and did not harm.

Through Jiang Fengchuan, the Southern Han Dynasty had already lent hundreds of millions of dollars to the Chinese National Government, which allowed the Southern Han to tide over the difficulties, so there was no need to borrow any more money. There were more than 50 planes coming in from France, which were the latest French fighters, of which 30 were attack planes that the Southern Han Dynasty did not have, and even more planes were purchased from the United States, and the P38, Fishing Eagle, and Corsair were all new aircraft, with a total of 70 planes.

This is a huge amount of money, no one knows where the young lady's money came from, it is said that the batch of French planes was purchased by Xiao Yong, but the money was not paid by Nanhan, that is, the money that Xue Ru borrowed from Xiao Yong. A former governor who was removed from politics and left politics, will there be all this money? Unless he makes money in his house.

But all this is obviously impossible, Taylor is an American, and the John family is in England, just a second-rate family, and it is impossible to have such a large amount of wealth. How did all this consumption money come about, which became the top secret of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Xue Ru didn't seem to be worried, she was in a better and better mood, because there was a cabinet to deal with government affairs, and the hardest time had passed, and Xue Ru finally relaxed. She was only nineteen years old, and in the mood for her best years, she put aside the heavy government affairs, and every day she took her four secretaries, who were also her maids, to go to various places by car, and the most place was Sangnu City, which was the city through which the river flowed, and was also built in the mountains. It was originally just a small county town, but because the Nanhan Science and Technology City was there, this place was both desirable and more mysterious.

Xue Ru's most frequent place is there, where scientists and scholars from all over the world gather in Sangnu City, and they continue to produce results one after another, from military to civilian. However, the scientific research funds were not issued by the Southern Han Dynasty, and their patent rights were all in the hands of Xue Ru.

Everyone has curiosity, everyone wants to know the way of making money in the Southern Han Dynasty, is it really like the legend of the people in the outside world, Xue Ru is not a human being but a fox fairy, he can turn stones into gold and steal the world, if then the Southern Han Dynasty does not have to do anything to have money to spend?

At this time, Hao Yunfei, who came to Hanoi from Huisun along the Mekong River, sat in front of Xue Ru: "Miss has transported another batch of goods, and the personnel have also set off, do you have any instructions?" ”

Xue Ru shook his head: "Yunfei, tell Minghua that these things must not be spread, if the news goes out, the consequences will be very serious, so I ask you to remember." ”

Hao Yunfei said: "Miss, don't worry, I will keep them shut up forever if necessary, and you can rest assured that the news will not go out." ”

Xue Ru nodded heavily, she knew what Hao Yunfei's closed mouth was, but she had no choice. It's not impossible to really make money, just like the research in Sangnu City at this time, all of them are cross-era, even those civilian products are not something that people can study now. Any achievement of the Civil Research Institute of Nanhan Science and Technology City can become a sought-after commodity on the European continent, and it will sell for sky-high technology transfer fees. Although Europe was already in flames, Hitler also needed money, so the civilian achievements of the Southern Han Dynasty were not divided into objects, as long as any country could afford to pay for it.

Zhang Donglin's friend, Chen Daosheng, a Chinese American, has become a celebrity on Wall Street because he is a prominent figure in the New York stock market, and he got back half of the 70 planes. Through the radio waves on the other side of the ocean, it has become Chen Daosheng's way to make money.

The young lady queen is from the Southern Han Dynasty, but she can know the New York stock market, and she doesn't dare to let Chen Daosheng have a little rebellion, he is not facing people, but demons!

In fact, Xue Ru doesn't know too much, but what Airbus, Ford, Citroen, Shell and other stocks will affect him in the future, as long as he knows those century-old brands, are there any that are not profitable? Chen Daosheng was crazy to make money, and the Southern Han Dynasty also had a steady stream of foreign exchange funds.

Xiao Yong has completely given up his mind, and with the matter of Cadol Vietnam, the final scapegoat is Du Ke, who has become the charge d'affaires of a French company in Nanhan at this time, and can never return to France. Because of him, the French navy and air force in Vietnam were gone, so as to be guilty of gallows. After he learned the news, he informed his family to come to Nanhan. He didn't go back at all, took a Chinese name "Duke" and became a Southern Han nationality, and the three members of the Cadol family became Xue Ru's compradors in France.

At this time, everyone admitted that Miss forgave Xiao Yong right, France also has continuous injection of funds, those new clothing design, perfume production brands, become the best-selling brands in France, Xiao Sha company has become the largest brand in France.

There is no way, Xue Ru has nearly a hundred years of advanced knowledge and insight, which is an advantage that no one can match. Although France surrendered, the new Vesey government could not help but survive, so everything had no effect. Although de Gaulle, who was in England, did not recognize the Southern Han regime, he had no choice but to shout a few times.

Japan kept putting pressure on Pétain's government to force France and Thailand to come to an agreement, and the Japanese army was already intending to enter Vietnam, which Pétain knew but he was powerless to stop. Not to mention the threat of Germany, he could only try his best to keep it, he knew that he would not be able to keep his government by losing Vietnam.

The most reassuring thing for him was that the Southern Han did not attack to the south, which is very puzzling. Because the French army was already very weak in the south, it was impossible to stop the Southern Han, which already had no less than 100,000 troops, but Xue Ru just didn't react and went all out to carry out internal construction.

Hao Yunfei and Xue Ru contacted them alone, and the only one who knew them best was Wei Ming's Intelligence Office, who was also a participant in the "Cloud Twilight" plan, so they were sent back to Mujiazhai in Shan State. Hao Yunfei and they became the secret pawns of Xue Ru of the Southern Han Dynasty, for the greater benefit and the War of Resistance, Xue Ru also had to ruthlessly agree with what Hao Yunfei said, and kill him if necessary. The base in the Qingming Mountains outside the city will be full*, and if necessary, there will be a loud bang, nothing will exist there, and the people there will disappear.

Why are you so careful, because it is the key to supporting Xue Ru to this day and opening up the situation in the Southern Han Dynasty. Xue Ru really doesn't know how to make money, she doesn't have the ability to turn stones into gold, this is a country with a population of 10 million, military, political, people's livelihood, everything needs money, in order to let tens of millions of people eat, they have to import food from Thailand, but where does this money come from, New York stock market investment is a long-term investment, not stock speculation, and it needs a lot of money, so Xue Ru has to find a way.

As a country, there are some things that cannot be done, but that does not prevent them from being done behind the scenes. There is a special group of people under the rogue general Hu Wansong, they are all death squads, they enter Thailand and Myanmar in makeup, sweep some small and medium-sized towns, according to Hu Wansong's orders, just for money and not kill, but is that possible? It was in this way that the Southern Han Dynasty spent the most difficult period, and the other unscrupulous means was Ma Biao, who was no longer confined to the vicinity of Qinzhou, and went as far as entering the Guangzhou area.

The original funds of the Southern Han Dynasty were full of evils, in fact, these were not the main sources for Xue Ru to tide over the difficulties, these were small amounts of money after all, and they could not bear the cost of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Southern Han Dynasty. Besides, where did the money come from for such a big investment? All eight departments, except for the Ministry of Finance, needed money, and for this reason, among the imported machinery, peculiar printing presses appeared.

An underground printing factory was established in the Qingming Mountains, and a large number of various currencies were printed and smuggled out of the country by small boats.

Of course, the largest number of them are the yen, which enters Japan by hundreds of tons. As for whether Japan is inflation or the depreciation of the yen, that is not a question for Xue Ru to consider. If it weren't for secrecy to succeed, Xue Ru wanted to do it publicly. The two sides were hostile war countries, and although the Southern Han did not formally declare war on Japan, as Chinese in the Southern Han Dynasty, the two sides were already enemies. This tactic of destroying the economy is nothing.

Xue Ru was so careful because not all the printed currencies were yen, but there were also other currencies that entered circulation through various channels. This is a forgery of the power of a country, and it is impossible to distinguish it without deliberate professional testing, so for Japan, although it has been discovered, it is not expected to be on such a large scale.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has exhausted its strength, but it is impossible to know the source, only knowing that there are tens of millions and tens of billions of counterfeit money entering Japan, but it cannot come up with a way, so it can only make people increase their efforts to identify, but unfortunately the effect is not great. It didn't even work to change the version, and it took only ten or twenty days for the new version to be released, and the counterfeit money still appeared, while the real money was lost in large quantities.

Xue Ru used this method to finally get Nanhan out of the predicament. Today, Hao Yunfei came to report that other currencies had been destroyed, Xue Ru ordered, except for the yen, to stop other kinds of production, how to deal with the relevant technical personnel, thinking again and again Xue Ru handed them over to Hao Yunfei to deal with, the opinion is to let them live, just ensure that the news does not go out.

Hao Yunfei didn't say anything, left Syracuse City and returned to Qingming Mountain. Watching Hao Yunfei leave, Xue Ru closed her eyes, with a painful expression on her face, she didn't know whether she should do this or not. In fact, she knew in her heart that those people didn't want to leave the mountain base alive, and Hao Yunfei would not let them go. But this is related to the national reputation of the Southern Han Dynasty, so Xue Ru has to do the same. This made her miserable, if it wasn't for the war launched by Japan, how could Xue Ru do this? Looking at the calendar on the wall, it's almost time, and the Japanese army will start attacking soon, but will it still happen what you hoped for?

"Your Majesty, intelligence service." Gigi Xu happily ran in: "Miss, look? ”

Xue Ru took it and looked at it, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Inform Chief of Staff Ouyang, the three branches of the military, and the division commander and above have come to Syracuse for a meeting." ”
