Chapter 689: Shocking Explosion
One of the distinctive features of the Global Group's investments in Japan is that it only treats Japan as an assembly plant, and never allows any core technology to flow into Japan, especially in the field of electronic products, except for the tube technology that Japan already masters.
Almost all transistor-related products, the global group does not allow the slightest possibility of entering Japan, in the products produced by Japanese electronics factories, products that can be replaced by tubes, transistors are never allowed.
When transistors are really needed, they are also procured directly from Brazil, which is relatively backward, which leads to the fact that the quality of telephones and radio stations produced in Japan is not advanced.
The U.S. military is naturally very dissatisfied with this, but now the companies that have mastered the transistor-related processes have some relationship with Fang Lang, whether it is Bell Labs in the United States or the Institute of Electronic Computers in Brazil, they have already issued a trade embargo agreement under Fang Lang's instructions, and they are not allowed to transfer transistor-related technology to Japan.
Although the U.S. military is very powerful, Fang Lang represents the interests of the consortium, which is a group of guys who don't even give the president face, so the U.S. military can only purchase products that require transistors from the United States and Brazil, and is never allowed to produce them directly in Japan.
As a result, orders from Brazil's electronics factories have increased rapidly, and electronic technology has begun to develop rapidly with the support of these funds, especially the rapid progress of radar technology. In terms of electronic computers, there are also new breakthroughs in technology every day.
Because of Fang Lang's possible targeting and blockade, Japan's electronic product technology simply cannot be directly improved through the Peninsula War as it has been in history. It also prevented Japan from achieving rapid economic growth after the war, as was the case in later generations.
In terms of shipping, although the global group has long been laying out the container shipping industry in Japan, from the very beginning, Fang Lang was ill-intentioned, so the construction progress of the global terminal company for the Japanese container freight terminal is very slow.
What is even more embarrassing is that before the outbreak of the war, the Global Terminal Company had already closed and rebuilt several important ports in Japan, and the war broke out as soon as the original loading and unloading equipment was dismantled, which caused great inconvenience to the rapid replenishment of logistics materials for the US military.
However, this kind of method can only temporarily delay the progress of the US military's assistance to the peninsula for a while, and cannot really change history, Fang Lang knows this in his heart.
But he still does it, and the purpose is very simple. That is because the progress of the North Peninsula in the early stage of the war was smooth, and the first troops of the South Peninsula and the US Army were compressed to the Pusan area, and finally the 25th Division of the US Army received orders to defend the last line of defense.
And Fang Lang's purpose in delaying the delivery of supplies to the US military is to give the North Peninsula a chance to see if it is possible for them to pull out the nail that the United States has nailed to the peninsula.
In this way, Fang Lang can quietly inflict a little more casualties on the Americans. This can be regarded as his contribution to the war on the peninsula.
It is a pity that these are only small means, and they cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the war on the peninsula, and the docks that were blocked and built had to speed up the progress of construction under the pressure of the US military.
In order to delay the construction of the container freight terminal, Fang Lang can be regarded as trying to find a way, and a bunch of port machinery equipment is repeatedly delayed when it is transported from Brazil to the terminal in Japan.
No, during the transportation encountered a typhoon, key parts were lost, and the equipment arrived at the terminal and could not be installed quickly, so Fang Lang also quietly leaked the secret, so that Brazil's most procrastinating construction company won the bid and became the builder of the Japanese container terminal.
The Yankees have an opinion, but they can only talk to this builder, which makes the Americans waste a lot of time.
Finally, the efficiency of the US military's logistical material transportation has been seriously delayed due to the construction of Japanese port terminals, which is more than three layers lower than the historical efficiency.
And the 25th Division of the US Army, which lacked supplies, naturally had to pay more casualties when resisting the attack on the North Peninsula, although this situation made the US Army very annoyed, but there was no way to do it, after all, these things had nothing to do with the Fang family.
On the contrary, the Fang family suffered the same heavy losses as them, after all, the progress of the project was slow, and it was their Fang family's business that was lost, which they did not want to see.
Of course, this situation cannot be maintained for a long time, and eventually these container terminals will definitely be completed, and as for the problem that the freight efficiency will be improved after completion, Fang Lang has also thought of a corresponding way.
In short, Fang Lang has only one purpose, that is, on his own level, try to add a little chaos to the Yankees, it is really not possible, there are a few experimental container ships built first, and it is not impossible to sink directly by thunder!
The U.S. government has to compensate for the kind of transport ships that sank because of the war.
In order to better fulfill the tasks of the US military, the Universal Group also directly purchased the Japanese shipyards and steel mills confiscated by them from the US military. In order to better provide logistical support for the US military, the Global Group also funded all the aircraft factories confiscated by the United States.
The purpose is to prevent the US military from returning the factories confiscated from the Japanese directly to the Japanese government, as it has done in history, and as long as these factories enter the hands of the Universal Group, then these factories can only be left to the hands of the Global Group.
I believe that soon they will become some pure foundries without core technology, and all Japanese workers will gradually only need to engage in the most strenuous manual labor.
And with Fang Lang's behavior of funding the purchase and confiscation of factories, if the Americans want to return these factories to the Japanese free of charge, they must begin to seriously consider whether the person who made this proposal will face an FBI investigation.
After all, you want to give it to the Japanese for free in a factory that can be sold for money, what do you mean by this, are you accepting a huge bribe from the Japanese? I believe that no one wants to face such accusations!
What's more, the situation of these factories confiscated by the Americans has long been investigated by the Global Group, and the factories that are really valuable have long been bought by the Global Group, and even if the Americans sell the remaining factories to the Japanese, they will not be able to make Japan's technology recover quickly.
As for the large number of jobs that these factories will bring due to the reopening, Fang Lang will definitely not be able to stop it, after all, if it is too obvious, it may cause an investigation by the CIA.
Fang Lang's acquisition of these factories that can manufacture and repair US military equipment actually has a very important purpose, that is, to learn from teachers. He plans to arrange some engineers from Brazil to come over to participate in the manufacture and maintenance of US military equipment.
Since it is production and maintenance, it is bound to provide corresponding manuals and tools, and this actually contains a lot of core technologies of US military equipment, as long as these things are fully mastered, and then digested and absorbed, the Fang family's military equipment manufacturing technology can be greatly improved.
Of course, there is no idea of causing some trouble to the US military, and as for how to make trouble, it is even simpler, arranging for a few Japanese who hate the United States to engage in some sabotage from time to time, bombing here today and where tomorrow, and the plane that has just been repaired has been bombed by the Japanese rebels.
And the Whip of God military contracting company, which has contracted Japan's public security work, is responsible for investigating these cases, and how to write the conclusion is not a matter of Fang Lang's words.
Just as the U.S. military was in full swing to mobilize its troops and hurriedly support the front line, at the entrance of the United Nations Command in Tokyo, a young man in his twenties with a visible burn scar on the right side of his face sat in a black Toyota car and looked at the headquarters building opposite him with cold eyes.
When he saw a row of military cars driving into the gate of the headquarters and heading towards the office building inside, the young man did not hesitate to put on the gear and refuel, and followed the car behind the convoy to the headquarters.
The convoy in front thought it was just a normal vehicle and didn't care, and the guards at the entrance of the headquarters didn't think much about it when they saw that he had come in with the convoy.
It wasn't until the rear car of the convoy in front of them found that the car that did not belong to the convoy and followed them into the headquarters that they felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly braked and steered, and the personnel in the car also stretched out their heads and signaled the vehicle to stop for inspection.
But at this time, the young man would obey the other party's request, and instead of stopping, he directly evaded the interception of the other party and drove towards the headquarters building where the convoy was heading in front.
I have to say that as the headquarters of the United Nations Army, the defense force here is still very strong, and as soon as I saw that the situation here was not right, there were immediately guards and soldiers surrounding me, and everyone's weapons were aimed at the car, and loudly signaled the vehicle to stop.
But the driver of the car didn't pay attention to it at all, but instead clutched the steering wheel with a frantic face and drove towards the door of the headquarters building. When the guards saw that the vehicle did not heed the warning, they did not hesitate to shoot directly.
The main gate of the headquarters was not far from the headquarters building, which was enough time for young cars to approach the headquarters building.
By the time the guards fired gunfire, the car with unknown intentions had already passed the car and people who had intercepted him and rushed into the convoy in front.
When the car rushed into the convoy, the guards had to be cautious at their guns to avoid accidentally injuring the American officers in the convoy. It was such a cautious move that made the young man seize the opportunity, regardless of the convoy's vehicles, and drove the car to the door of the headquarters.
Naturally, this situation frightened the guards and the US military officers in the convoy, and everyone realized that something was wrong. Just as a group of U.S. military guards were shooting at the young man with guns on their faces in horror.
The young man, who had already been shot several times, suddenly had a relieved smile on his crazy expression, and then the black Nissan car turned into a ball of fire directly in front of the headquarters.
Hearing only a loud "bang", the guards who were still rushing towards the car just now were directly engulfed by the flames, and the guards who were a little farther away were also directly overturned by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and flew out more than ten meters before falling to the ground, losing their lives in an instant.
The entire convoy was directly affected by the explosion, and the three vehicles closest to the explosion vehicle were directly thrown out, until they hit the wall of the headquarters building and were crushed into a pile of scrap metal.
Other vehicles that were a little farther away were also car glass shattered instantly, and the powerful shock wave took away the US military officers in the car directly. Most of these people only have glass scratches on the outside, but they are horrific bleeding from seven holes, and they can't die anymore. Needless to say, this is the horror of the shockwave.
The office area on the first floor of the headquarters building was even more in a mess, with the iron wreckage from the explosion flying everywhere, almost sweeping the entire first floor, and the hall was in a mess, and there were no standing figures at all.
The people upstairs were slightly better, only feeling dizziness and tinnitus, the whole person lost balance and direction, and stood unsteadily. At the same time, the glass that was shattered by the shock wave made almost everyone's bodies scratched by the glass.
The entire glass of the headquarters building was directly shattered, which shows how powerful the explosion was. For a time, the entire UN command was thrown into chaos.
Fortunately for the Americans, the Japanese Emperor and MacArthur, the commander of the US forces stationed in Japan, were not at the headquarters at this time, otherwise the US military command system would have collapsed.
However, it was said that the young man who drove to blow up the US military headquarters, named Hama Hizu, was originally a Japanese soldier who had been seriously wounded in the Battle of Iwo Jima, and his comrades were all left on Iwo Jima, and only he, a guy who was wounded in the early battle, was sent back to the mainland for treatment.
But before he could return from his injuries, the little American boy exploded in his hometown of Hiroshima, and in an instant all his relatives and friends lost their lives.
With the surrender of Japan, he also became a lonely ghost with no home, and the newly defeated Japanese economy withered, and of course he could not find a job. I can only beg around like a homeless man to make a living.
After two years like this, although the situation in Japan has improved slightly, the bottom of society like him can only barely make ends meet.
It wasn't until early 1950 that a fellow Hiroshima like him approached him and told him that there was an organization that could help homeless people like them, and he was guided to a humble inn in rural Yokohama.
The inn was a simple but basic subsistence, and he found that many people here had the same experience as him, and almost all of their loved ones had been killed by two bombs.
When such a group of people get together, it is natural that they often scold the hateful Yankees. Slowly, the hatred of Americans in his heart has reached a level that is simply irresolvable.
Watch those American GIs wantonly exert their power on Japanese soil, sleep with their women, and beat and scold them Japanese at will. They were all filled with righteous indignation.
Until one day, when they finished a simple dinner and gathered in the freight yard as usual to baash the Americans as usual.
The middle-aged Japanese man in charge of the warehouse stood up, led them to a wall, opened a wooden plank, and saw that behind the wooden board was a picture of Tianhuang.
In the lower right corner of Tianhuang's photo, there is also a much smaller photo of this middle-aged man and Tianhuang, how did Mr. Hajizumi never expect that this inconspicuous middle-aged man could actually know His Majesty Tianhuang, and was qualified to stand next to Tianhuang for a group photo. What an honor that must be!
While he was still in amazement, the middle-aged man spoke slowly.
"Fellow citizens, haven't you been wondering why I should take you in and help you?
I think today is the time to tell you the answer. ”
