In the darkness of the night, a convoy of more than 30 trucks stopped in the devastated city of Osaka, an old factory that seemed out of place with the surrounding buildings.

Compared to the large factories that are common in Japan, this factory is so small that it can only be barely called a workshop.

So why is it that this dilapidated factory, which is obviously no longer engaged in any production tasks, has been able to survive in its entirety at the time of Japan's rapid expansion?

If you find a Japanese passerby on the street and ask, you will get an answer.

This is the ancestral business of the Sumitomo Foundation of Japan, "Sumitomo Copper Blowing House", and the first copper smelting plant of the Sumitomo Foundation is located here.

From this copper smelting plant, Sumitomo began to enter the metal smelting industry, and soon became a leading metal smelting company in Japan.

This led to the development of the Sumitomo Zaibatsu in the future.

Needless to say, this convoy is the Brazilian Expeditionary Force led by Fang Lang, as for why Fang Lang came to such a small ancient factory ruins?

This has to say about the shrewdness of these Japanese chaebols.

In later generations, everyone is studying the Japanese chaebol, why was it that the factory was so badly destroyed by the Americans that it was broken up and reorganized, and finally it was able to become such a behemoth again?

There is a consensus among all that the Japanese chaebols have hidden all their wealth before they knew that Japan was going to be defeated.

The Americans dug into the ground and couldn't find it.

This matter was also confirmed by Colonel Malik.

The U.S. military did seize the assets of the consortium for the first time, but found nothing.

However, Fang Lang passed by Osaka once in later generations to experience the customs service of Osaka Customs Street, no, when he made a mistake and restarted to experience the scenery of Osaka Scenic Street.

I heard a story from a few drunken Japanese drinkers sitting next to me.

As soon as Fang Lang came to Osaka, he quietly came to the site of the "Sumitomo Copper Blowing House", the ancestral industry of the Japanese Sumitomo Foundation, to confirm the authenticity of the news.

Next, Fang Lang issued an order that made all the soldiers of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force inexplicable.

They were asked to empty all people within 200 meters of the two streets.

Then, today, it is obviously the time for Fang Lang to grab the fruits of victory.

I saw Fang Lang turning on a flashlight and walked into the ruins of this dilapidated factory that didn't even lock the door.

I came directly to a huge metal smelting furnace standing against the wall, opened an iron door that was rusted, about two meters high and about one meter wide, and walked directly into the smelting furnace.

It looked like some waste slag inside, Fang Lang picked up the slag on the ground, found a cover and lifted it directly.

A dark hole in the ground leaked, and the light of the flashlight shone down, revealing a basement larger than the building area above.

Walking down the basement, Fang Lang saw a neat row of copper rods stacked on the left hand side, yes copper rods. It is a copper rod made of pure copper that we commonly use in industry.

On the right-hand side, there are dense piles of bronzes, and the number of them is definitely more than 2,000.

Qi Qingshan and the others who came in after Fang Lang were all dumbfounded, they didn't know the value of these bronzes, but they were shocked by the huge quantity.

Objects of different shapes and rusts are obviously more eye-catching than industrial copper.

Fang Lang didn't talk nonsense, and directly waved his hand:

"Move it for me, remove everything here, and leave nothing behind."

"Yes, sir!"

Then the soldiers of the 2nd Company of the Expeditionary Force began to work as porters.

Fang Lang was on the side the whole time, carefully directing everyone to pack and pack.

All the bronzes were packed into wooden boxes that had been prepared long ago, and stuffed with straw, cotton wool, and the like to prevent collisions.

If a Chinese historian were present, he would have been stunned, because there were at least 500 Chinese bronzes and bronze mirrors.

There are the Kui Shen Drum of the Shang Dynasty, the Tiger Cannibal of the Shang Dynasty, the Sacrificial Head Fang Zun of the late Shang Dynasty, the Chime of the Biao Clan in the Warring States Period, the Jingji Shi Gong in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Wenfang Ding of the Spring and Autumn Period. Each piece is a national treasure of China.

In modern society, all of these cultural relics are stored in the Izumiya Hakoko Museum of the Sumitomo family, and the people of Japan can only view them from a distance through a glass case.

Although the fighters mostly did not understand what these things were. However, since the chief attaches so much importance to everyone, he must take it seriously.

After the inventory statistics at the time of packing, it was finally confirmed that the number of bronzes reached more than 3,200 pieces, and everyone had a clear division of labor, some people packed, some people carried, and some people were responsible for transportation.

Finally, the transportation was completed at dawn.

However, Fang Lang did not stop, as if inadvertently said:

"Don't leave the copper material for the Japanese, just take it away."

The price of copper during this period was as high as US$3,514 per tonne, and the copper rods here were at least 100 tons, and they were worth three or four hundred thousand US dollars.

That's not a small amount.

Of course, if it was just for these copper materials, it would definitely not be worth Fang Lang's trouble to empty the two streets.

According to the news that Fang Lang heard, these were not copper materials, but copper-clad gold.

This is also the capital of the Sumitomo family's rapid rise after the war and its rapid recovery to its pre-war strength.

The Sumitomo family is so clever that they have kept all their wealth under this dilapidated ancestral business, which has been around for hundreds of years.

Everyone thinks that this is the place that the Sumitomo family deliberately kept to commemorate the family's first copper smelter.

Even only two old men were arranged to guard here, which is basically equivalent to being undefended.

And all Japanese people know that this is the ancestral business of the Sumitomo family, and the commemorative significance is greater than the actual significance.

All members of the Sumitomo family have almost selectively forgotten about this place, and will not mention it easily.

It is also not on the list of Sumitomo's production plants, and the U.S. military searches according to Sumitomo's corporate structure, and this plant does not exist.

Because he really wasn't a factory anymore.

It was this inconspicuous dilapidated factory that preserved the wealth of the Sumitomo family and provided sufficient financial support for the Sumitomo family's rapid rise after the war.

It's a pity that now because of the direct intervention of the butterfly Fang Lang from the later generations, all the wealth hidden by the Sumitomo family has been quietly and directly transferred.

In fact, the Sumitomo family was suspicious of Fang Lang's unusual behavior, and found Colonel Malik to complain about the misdeeds of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.

However, they have apparently forgotten their identity as a defeated country, and there is no room for bargaining in a defeated country.

As Japan's largest chaebol, the U.S. government is trying to hold you accountable for war crimes, and has added the current head of the Sumitomo zaibatsu to the list of war criminals.

How can you embarrass your allies for you!

So, their complaints did not have the desired effect, but the soldiers of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force intensified their efforts.

This made them people who could have been able to pay attention to their ancestral business from afar, but they were also directly driven out of the observable range.

Maybe it's called shooting yourself in the foot!

Seeing that the sky has been brightened, though, I am not afraid that Sumitomo's house will find out.

But there is certainly no way to hide from the US patrol.

And if the U.S. military finds out about his behavior of eating alone, it will obviously cause Colonel Malik to have a bad feeling about himself.

This is not what Fang Lang wants to see.

Therefore, after thinking about it three times, Fang Lang still decided to take the initiative to explain to Colonel Malik that it was a big deal to share it with him at the price of copper.

Fang Lang, who hadn't slept all night, drove directly to the US military station, and saw Colonel Malik, who was in good spirits.

Apparently, Colonel Malik was in a good mood.

There is no need to worry about these devices being smashed into your hands, or being discovered by the Allied Commander to hide the assets of the Japanese army.

slept with $100,000 on his pillow, and he slept soundly.

Looking at Fang Lang, whose face was full of oil and his spirit was obviously a little excited, he couldn't help but say strangely:

"Fang, what's wrong with you, haven't you slept all night? Why, worry about this batch of equipment! ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted Fang Lang's arm and said:

"Don't worry! All the equipment will be loaded onto your ship before the all-time personnel are in place. You don't have to worry about this factory that the news won't get out. ”

Fang Lang noticed that Colonel Malik was saying this, and the cold light in his eyes flashed.

I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and I thought that this old boy was going to kill him.

But it's not right to think about it, after all, Fang Lang and him can be regarded as accomplices, if they really want to be investigated, both of them are the same crime.

And Fang Lang didn't feel any hostility from him.

That means that the target of his mouth is not himself, so who could it be?

Without thinking too much, Fang Lang immediately understood his plan, it was obvious that the workers in this factory might be in danger.

Although this would be a bit cruel, Fang Lang would not show any mercy at all.

This is a artillery factory, and the artillery produced doesn't know how much damage it has caused to the people of his hometown and the world, so Fang Lang can't wait to help applaud on the sidelines.

However, Fang Lang didn't come over today because of this matter, so he said directly:

"Marik, what do I have to worry about, I have seen the situation, it should be shipped in the early hours of this morning.

As soon as the cargo is on board, our ship will depart directly. When the people of the alliance general arrive tomorrow morning, there will be no trace left. ”

Malik also showed a satisfied smile and said with a pun:

"Yes! Nothing will be left. ”

"I came here today to share with you the good news that my people have just found a batch of Japanese copper rods.

You have just provided a batch of equipment for making artillery, and immediately there will be equipment for making artillery shells.

That's the icing on the cake! Although I have not yet found a buyer for these copper materials, I have inquired about the current copper price and assessed that this batch of goods is worth at least 200,000 yuan.

Dude, we're going to get rich again. ”
