546 Fighting Shoulder to Shoulder United Front
Kong Jie, who learned the news, quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although he believed that after all the preparations, with the ability of the team members, the operation of the armed seizure of the Japanese army's control of the bank cash flow was completed, and it was safe.
But until the final results come out, there are always some worries.
After all, he personally led the team to the Golden Concession this time, and the most important thing was to complete the task of rescuing experts, professors, and overseas Chinese representatives assigned by his superiors.
Right now, secretly attacking the bank vault of the devil, this is already outside the mission.
No one said anything if he succeeded, but once he failed, Kong Jie couldn't afford to take this responsibility.
From John's mouth, he learned that the commando team had escaped successfully, and even teased the Japanese army.
Kong Jie relaxed, thinking in his heart that the success of this armed seizure of the Japanese treasury means that in the next cooperation with John, our pockets have been bulging.
"John, I heard that you have invested in some food processing factories, steel mills, and even power plants in the concession, can you take me to see them?"
John smiled, "Xu, are you interested in any of these as well?" ”
Kong Jie said: "Of course, I am very interested in any industry that can make money. ”
When he visited these factories next, when Kong Jie proposed that he wanted to cooperate, John said with some embarrassment: "Xu, I'm sorry, the shareholders of these production factories are not me, most of them exclude other Chinese people from joining the shares, if you want to buy shares, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”
Become a shareholder?
Kong Jie sneered in his heart, he didn't have such thoughts at all.
Let's not talk about whether it can guarantee that these Yankees pay attention to honesty and dividends to him after becoming a shareholder,
It will not be long before this concession is declared, and sooner or later it will have to be forcibly occupied by the Japanese army by force as the Japanese army declares war on Britain and the United States.
At that time, no matter how good the development is, it will have to be wasted, and Kong Jie will not do such a stupid thing as losing money.
"John, don't worry, you are my friend, we Chinese have never embarrassed our friends, in this way, I do not invest in shares, I choose to cooperate with your production plant."
"Xu, how do you want to cooperate?" John asked.
Kong Jie said: "I want goods, whether it is soap produced by soap production plants, all kinds of food produced by food processing factories, steel produced by steel mills, and a series of other daily necessities. ”
As soon as these words came out, John was also stunned.
Kong Jie's generosity suppressed him, John originally didn't underestimate Kong Jie's financial resources, and thought that Kong Jie was a wealthy businessman in Shanxi, but he just didn't expect that the other party's background would be so strong.
"Xu, are you sure you're not kidding?" John confirmed.
Kong Jie raised his hand and said, "I never joke about business, I want all these goods, but I have one condition." ”
"Please!" John said busily, if this business is completed, the other conditions are easy to say.
Kong Jie said: "I don't doubt the use of people, I don't need to be suspicious, even if I do business, I like to do business with friends who I look at." ”
"All these purchases, I'm only with John, you alone, not through these factories, John, can you see what I mean?"
John froze for a few seconds, then almost danced, "Oh my god, Xu, no, my friend, you're so funny." ”
"It's a great favor, do you know how much I can personally make out of it if you do this?"
Kong Jie smiled and asked rhetorically, "Shouldn't it be true that your friends make more money?" Besides, I buy these goods to sell in Shanxi, and I can also earn more profits, and you and I can make a lot of money together. ”
John smiled brightly, confirming that Kong Jie was not joking, and that he believed that Kong Jie also had the financial resources.
In the past few days, Kong Jie has signed a lot of orders with a wave of his hand and given a considerable amount of deposit.
This was such a great surprise that John even forgot the big case of the robbery of the Japanese army's vault from outside the concession.
And for Kong Jie, there is naturally a reason for doing so.
In this American concession, there are many production factories related to John, and the various commodities produced are too much needed for the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang base area.
Whether it is all kinds of daily necessities, processed food, clothing, etc., there is no shortage of them in the base area.
In the precarious environment behind enemy lines, it was naturally slow for the base areas to develop and to increase the quantity of commodities by expanding production internally.
The fastest speed is to get a large amount of goods from the base area to flow in.
Of course, these goods will not flow directly into the market, and will not flow directly into the hands of the people.
Rather, from the warehouses placed in separate regiments.
According to Kong Jie's plan, in the future, a migrant labor group will be formed near the independent group, and a large amount of wages will need to be paid to the people at that time.
After the wages were distributed, the goods would leave the warehouses of the independent regiments, put them on the market, and collect the money from the hands of the people.
The people will get the goods, and life will be better.
As the funds run out, the people will continue to work and regain their money.
If this virtuous circle continues, the people will have money in their hands and complete goods, which will stimulate the development of the market in the entire base area, and the economy will soon prosper.
As for the source of the money needed to buy the goods back from John.
Quite simply, it was the cash (day passes, reserve dollars, pounds), gold, silver, and even some bonds that the commandos had seized from the devil's vaults and banks.
According to Kong Jie's plan before the commando operation, the commando's armed seizure of the cash flow of the Rijin Bank was not only the commando, but also the cooperation of some underground party comrades arranged by Zhou Jianren.
After the team members succeeded in snatching the cash from the devil's vault, the underground party comrades would quickly pick up the money at the predetermined location and quickly transfer the property to a hidden basement.
Then, the assault team will continue to lure the Japanese pursuers until the car is abandoned and the golden cicada is out of its shell.
When the Japanese hurriedly pursued, all they could find was an empty car and missing currency.
It's actually unsafe to keep this large amount of currency in your hands, and it would be a big risk to transport it out under the nose of a devil.
Therefore, Kong Jie's use of the wealth seized by the armed force is mainly divided into three parts.
The first part was to set aside a certain amount of funds and hand them over to the comrades of the underground party in Tianjin as funds for underground activities.
In Kong Jie's words:
It was not easy for our head Kong to come here, and we had to give a meeting gift to the comrades of the underground party in Tianjin.
The second, which was used to work with John.
As for cooperating with John alone, Kong Jie is to ensure the safety of this path, and if John, an American, comes forward in everything, the effect will naturally be much better.
The way of cooperation is even more simple and practical, spending the money directly, buying a large number of goods from John's hands, and then transporting them all the way back to Shanxi by merchant ships through the Yellow River.
The operation of seizing cash flow with an armed operation that does not cost much to get a steady stream of large amounts of money, and then buy back a large amount of goods from the Yankees.
It can almost be understood as a disguised economic plunder, allowing the goods and goods in the concession to flow into the base area of the Eighth Route Army.
The third was used as a security fund and was sent back to the base with the cargo as a backup fund for the independent regiment.
This is Kong Jie's overall plan.
……
When the two parties reached a deal, John's attitude towards Kong Jie became more and more enthusiastic.
Kong Jie tried to pull John to his own line again, and the way was quite simple.
Sooner or later, the little devil will also have this with the United States, and there are completely traces to follow.
John was not a pure businessman, and was even involved in the arms business, and had connections with some bigwigs in the US military, and even served as an intelligence collector for the military while doing business in the concession.
He also has a good understanding of the trend of the international situation.
Kong Jie analyzed them one by one from many aspects, plus stood on the shoulders of giants and gave some hints in advance, and John quickly came to his senses.
According to Kong Jie's analysis:
"This little devil has always been despicable, does not talk about martial virtues, and likes to fight without declaring war and engaging in sneak attacks, in our China, whether it is the 918 incident or the 77 incident, these are typical."
"At present, the Japanese army's dream of threatening to invade and occupy China in three months has been completely shattered, and the war has dragged on for longer and longer, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the balance of victory in the war has gradually turned in favor of our China."
"The devil can't gnaw on this hard bone of China for the time being, maybe he can only think of another way......
Just as he was about to get to the critical point, Kong Jie suddenly stopped abruptly, and suddenly hung John's appetite.
John said in a hurry: "Xu, what kind of way is it?" ”
Kong Jie smiled: "Want to know? ”
"Of course, Xu, this is very critical for my motherland, so don't be kidding."
Kong Jie said: "In the end, it's just some of my personal analysis and speculation, whether it's true or not, John, don't blindly believe it." ”
John said: "Xu, don't worry, I will have my own judgment." ”
Kong Jie nodded and continued: "At present, the Japanese army's battlefield against China is getting more and more bottomless.
The advance of the frontal battlefield has gradually slowed down, or even made no progress, and the battlefield behind the enemy is controlled by a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army. ”
John said: "Yes, in the occupied area of Little Japan, such a large number and powerful troops can still emerge, Xu, this is simply a miracle, a miracle created by you Chinese." ”
Kong Jie said: "So, as the war against China continues, the devil is actually on the verge of madness."
If they continue to fight, their disadvantages will only become more and more obvious, and the shortage of resources will gradually become the fatal point for the Japanese army to continue this war.
What would they do in this situation?
You can only find a way to get resources from other battlefields to keep the war alive!
If we were the top leaders of the Japanese army, we could have taken advantage of the defeat of Britain and France by Germany to send troops to Southeast Asia, and if we could quickly invade the southeast and plunder military supplies, the problems of the Japanese army would be suspended.
So at this time, who is it that the Japanese army can't get around? ”
"It's the United States, my motherland!" John clenched his fists and said, then said disdainfully: "But how dare little Japan go to war with us and the United States?" ”
Kong Jie smiled: "That's why I said, the Japanese army is despicable and good at raiding." ”
"You mean......" John looked shocked, "that little Japan might attack us in the United States?" shit, this damn little Japan. ”
Kong Jie said no more, it was enough to provoke John's anger against the Japanese army.
If John paid enough attention to this information and transmitted it back home, the U.S. military quickly adjusted its strategy and even suppressed trade with the Japanese army, thereby reducing the pressure on the Chinese army on the Chinese battlefield.
Under such ethnic hatred, Kong Jie was convinced that John could no longer have an affair with the Japanese army.
Naturally, Kong Jie would not tell John that the devil would indeed attack your motherland, and what port would he attack, when and so on.
That's just going to be taken crazy.
But no, John's analytical ability is also quite terrifying, and with Kong Jie's reminder in a few words, he quickly set his sights on some military ports in the United States.
"Damn, this is the most likely place for little Japan to sneak up, but what is it?"
"Xu, thank you for your generosity, thank you so much, you really reminded me."
Kong Jie smiled: "John, I said, I'm just guessing, and I think these speculations should have been expected by the military top brass in your homeland, maybe it's just that we are too worried!" ”
John thought about it for a while, and gradually calmed down, "Xu, what you said makes a lot of sense. ”
"Xu, I think we are now not only business partners, personal emotional friends, but also comrades-in-arms standing in the united front."
Kong Jie smiled and stretched out his hand, "John, that's exactly what I want to say. ”……
