Take Taobao to fight against Japan

"It's time for the great United States of America to do something!"

As the Chinese people boiled again, and this storm soon swept across Japan, as well as Western countries such as the United States, Britain, and France.

Headquarters of Dongxing Trading Company in New York.

"What? The Japanese devils started slaughtering innocent people again?"

"It's too miserable! It's really too miserable!"

"These things are not as good as pigs and dogs! Sooner or later they will be punished by God!"

"We must not let these dogs continue to slaughter my Chinese compatriots like this!"

After Hu Shi, Chen Guangfu, Sun Tao and others finished watching the photos and the documentary, all of them looked extremely ugly, their brows were furrowed, their foreheads were bulging with veins, their chests were heaving rapidly and their bodies were trembling non-stop!

The boundless anger has already broken through the critical point, and everyone can't wait to wipe all the Japanese from the earth with their guns.

"Anger alone won't solve the problem!"

Meng Wu'an sighed softly, then looked at Hu Shi and Chen Guangfu and said, "Although we are thousands of miles away, we can still make the Japanese devils pay the price!"

Hu Shi naturally knew what Meng Wuan meant, and nodded immediately: "Chairman Meng is right. Although Europe and the United States cannot go to the battlefield to kill little devils, they can put pressure on Japan through diplomatic channels!"

Chen Guangfu continued: "That's right, fighting a war not only requires a lot of manpower, but also requires huge war resources. Japan is an island country that is extremely scarce in resources, especially oil, steel and rubber, which are heavily dependent on exports!

We can build momentum in countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, so that these Western countries that flaunt democracy and freedom will open their eyes to see the true face of the Japanese devils! "

"Exactly! I know it will be very difficult to really work! These western countries are some hypocritical politicians. They only care about their interests, and they don't care about the life and death of China!

But no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. We must not let the Japanese devils continue to slaughter our Chinese compatriots like this! "

Through the previous "Nanjing Massacre" movie, Meng Wu'an has deeply learned what is meant by "the only eternal interests between countries", so he has a very clear understanding of this task!

For the current predicament, pressure through diplomatic channels and public opinion is indeed the best response. You can't know that the Japanese devils have kidnapped a large number of ordinary people as hostages, and you still have to bomb and attack indiscriminately here, right?

Hu Shi nodded solemnly and said: "It is true, a weak country has no diplomacy! A few days ago we provided so much strong evidence, the result is not an understatement!

This foreign devil has always said one thing and done another, unless there is an immediate pain, they will never let the Japanese people make money! "

"These profit-seeking foreign devils have this virtue. In their eyes, only money and benefits!"

Meng Wu'an snorted coldly, and said with a gleam in his eyes: "That's why we always say that asking for help is worse than asking for ourselves, no matter what time it is, self-reliance is the only way out!

In the face of the current national crisis, we Chinese people should hold together to keep warm, drive the Japanese devils out of China, and build a prosperous and democratic new China!

Only when the nation becomes truly rich and powerful can we Chinese people gain real democracy and freedom and be respected by Western powers! "

"I love to hear that! Haha! And I firmly believe that there will be such a day!"

Sun Tao nodded his head heavily. What he said was really not a compliment, but a real glimpse of the future and hope from Dongxing Trading Company!

These days, the development speed of Dongxing Trading can be said to be changing with each passing day. The head office and several branches are rapidly becoming bigger and stronger, which can be described as a money printing machine.

Even though Sun Tao cannot get access to the core secrets, he is not stupid at all. Seeing Meng Wuan's continuous actions and the huge cash flow continuously flowing into the trading company, he knows that as long as nothing happens, Dongxing Trading will eventually grow. For the super business empire!

Chapter 507 Tung Oil Loan

"Haha! The road is tortuous, the future is bright, and evil will never defeat justice! I firmly believe that under the leadership of our chief, our Yangyang Huaxia will definitely stand up again!"

Meng Wu'an drew a big cake with a smile, and then asked Chen Guangfu: "Commissioner Chen, has the tung oil loan been implemented now? Are there any difficulties?"

"Fortunately, the tung oil loan has basically been signed now! Just wait for the US side to release the loan!"

Chen Guangfu sighed softly: "Hey, the country is weak, and those of us who engage in diplomacy and foreign aid are really struggling!"

In the past few months, Chen Guangfu really spent a lot of thought and energy in begging his grandpa to sue his grandma in order to get the tung oil loan, and now it is finally finalized.

As early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, tung oil has been widely used in my country.However, before China exported tung oil on a large scale, tung oil was mostly used as fuel and paint, and people could often see tung trees in the countryside and mountains.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the great value of tung oil was discovered, and the demand for Huaxia tung oil in the international market was very strong. Therefore, tung oil became an international commodity and gradually became a traditional bulk export product of Huaxia.

In the early days of the Republic of China, due to the special needs of the military and machinery industries, paint became an important strategic material, and the external demand for tung oil continued to increase, resulting in a sharp increase in the export volume of tung oil in my country.

my country's tung oil production areas are mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River Basin, and Sichuan is the most important tung oil production area in my country, accounting for about 1/3 of my country's tung oil production.

Due to the huge demand for Huaxia tung oil in the international market, the development of tung oil plantation production has been greatly stimulated.

1922—1936年的14年时间里，全国桐油产量由54940吨增加到145700吨，增长了2倍多。

The export volume of tung oil increased from 450910 quintals to 867783 quintals. In 1937, the export volume exceeded 100 million quintals, reaching 1029789 quintals. The value of tung oil exports earned nearly [-] million yuan, making it the largest export commodity in China.

In the first three years of the Huaxia War of Resistance, due to the existence of the neutrality law, Huaxia could not directly receive military assistance from the United States, so the Nationalist government focused on seeking financial support and loans.The breakthrough point is - Huaxia's tung oil export.

From the end of 1938 to the beginning of 1939, Huaxia and the United States reached the first loan agreement during the Anti-Japanese War, namely the tung oil loan.

According to the tung oil loan agreement, the Export-Import Bank of the United States will lend 2500 million US dollars to the Chinese company, with an annual interest of 4.5% and a term of 5 years.

The Chinese company needs to sell 22 tons of tung oil to the US company within this period.The main purpose of this loan is to purchase cars and improve transportation on the Burma Road.

The amount of tung oil loan was not large, but it was the first loan from the U.S. government to aid China's war of resistance, and its political significance was obviously far greater than its economic significance.

The Nationalist government used tung oil to open the door for the United States to aid China, changed the policy of the United States towards China, and greatly changed the situation of China's isolation and helplessness.

The tung oil loan was undoubtedly a success for China's war of resistance, but the United States benefited a lot.

The tung oil needed for all aspects of production in the United States was originally imported from China. The signing of the agreement means that the American businessmen have actually monopolized the sales of tung oil in China, and at the same time monopolized the price of the world's tung oil market.

American businessmen can easily make profits by reselling tung oil in the international market, and it has greatly promoted the increase in employment, recovery and prosperity of the economy.

Recalling the whole process, Chen Guangfu sighed again: "It's just a small amount, and it's not enough to solve my difficulties! This loan can only solve a temporary emergency, and it's far less practical than working with your company to make money!"

"Haha, there's no need to talk about it! It's better to ask for yourself than to ask for help!"

Meng Wu'an raised his brows quite proudly, and then said: "Then let's split up and act separately. No matter what the result is, we must go all out, even if it makes trouble for the little devil!"

Yang Fan didn't expect to have much real effect through diplomatic channels, but he could give the little devil eye drops in advance, and the outbreak would be even more violent at a certain time!

"it is good!"

"Let's split up!"

Hu Shi, Chen Guangfu and Sun Tao nodded again and again, and then asked: "By the way, can we have a copy of these photos and videos?"

Meng Wuan nodded and smiled: "Of course there is no problem, the extra one is specially prepared for you!"

"Haha, that's good! It will be more convincing for us to lobby US government officials!"

"If there is nothing else, then we will leave first! This matter must be done while the iron is hot!"

Hu Shi and Chen Guangfu nodded again, and then got up to leave after saying some polite words.

"Well, yes! Ambassador Hu, Commissioner Chen, you have worked hard all the way. We have prepared a small gift, so please don't refuse!"

Meng Wu'an was originally a businessman, so he naturally knew what it means to be polite, and it's not surprising that these two big shots came here overnight!

If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse graze. Meng Wu'an must give some generous gifts to reward, so that future cooperation will be more enjoyable!

"Haha, Chairman Meng is too polite!"

"No reward for no merit, this is what we should do!"

Hu Shi and Chen Guangfu beamed with joy, and after some refusals, they were "embarrassed" and each accepted a $500 cash red envelope!

"Ambassador Hu, Commissioner Chen, please go slowly! You must come to our place often when you are free! Goodbye!"

After seeing off Hu Shi and Chen Guangfu, Meng Wuan returned to the office, picked up the phone and called Xia Chen: "Hello, Xia Chen? Well, it's me, you come to my office right now!"

Not long after, Xia Chen came to the door of the chairman's office, knocked on the door, walked into the room and asked with a smile, "Chairman, I'm here! What's the matter?"

"Sit down and talk!"

Meng Wu'an pointed with his finger, and after Xia Chen took his seat, he said with a smile: "That's right, our Chinese Huben Army has recovered Qingdao, Yantai, Weihaiwei and other port cities!

The chief wants us to open commercial routes to the United States, Britain, France, Singapore and other countries. This requires us to purchase several cruise ships in the name of other countries. This operation process must be complicated after all!

I'm going to hand over this matter to you to host, what do you think? "

According to the historical trajectory, it will take more than two years before the outbreak of the Pacific War, which means that Japan, Britain, the United States, France and other countries will still have more than two years to tear their faces.

Therefore, it is completely possible to use this gap to carry out operations such as population transfer and talent import in the name of maritime trade with countries such as Britain, the United States, and France!

Even Yang Fan plans to expand his influence to Hong Kong and Singapore, and if possible, take back these two places in advance and turn them into Chinese territory!

If nothing can be done, those patriotic overseas Chinese will be evacuated to Shandong in advance for safety!

Because, Yang Fan knew that these overseas Chinese who gave great support to the Anti-Japanese War had suffered massacres and great suffering after the Japanese occupation of Singapore!

Chapter 508 Kidnapping Public Opinion

"What? Buy a cruise ship and open a route to Shandong? Really, that's really great! Doesn't that mean that we can travel to and from China anytime and anywhere in the future?"

Hearing these words, Xia Chen's eyes suddenly brightened. He used to only know that China's domestic economy was backward and the people's livelihood was withered, and it was still in a state of war.

In the final analysis, human nature is selfish, and instinctively seeks good luck and avoids bad luck. Not everyone can give up good living conditions for the sake of ideals and beliefs and throw their heads and blood!

It's different now, because there is a powerful and mysterious Chinese Huben Army and an omnipotent chief, if you directly arrive at the Shandong Huben Army defense area, you won't have any worries about safety and life!

"You heard me right, and I'm not wrong, it's true! We can sit down and discuss the specific operation steps carefully!"

Meng Wu'an nodded affirmatively, and then continued: "What the boss means is that we can also buy a few American mainland, and then invest and build factories in Shandong in the name of American companies!

At that time, an industrial park similar to a concession will be established, so that not only will the Japanese devils be unable to carry out air strikes and damage, but we can also use this to conduct some private operations! "

"Great! In this way, our people can continue to return to China to support the war of resistance, and at the same time, family members can come to our side to develop together!"

Xia Chen was full of joy when he heard it. If he could ensure his own safety and happiness index would not decrease, he would absolutely be willing to contribute to the resistance and rise of the Chinese nation.

Moreover, Xia Chen is full of boundless yearning for Meng Wuan's description of the omnipotent chief seat, the incomparably powerful Chinese tiger army, the modern atmosphere of Gaomi, and the reunion with his younger sister Xia Yu!

"You go to prepare the implementation draft first, and I will call more people to have a meeting to discuss tomorrow morning! This matter is very important, and we need to do our best!"

Meng Wuan was also very excited. If the sea and air routes to Shandong can be successfully opened, it will undoubtedly be an extremely wonderful thing for them!

Washington White House.

Roosevelt looked down at the heinous photos in front of him. After a while, he looked at Secretary of State Cordell Hull with an ugly expression, and asked in a deep voice:

"The government of the Republic of China has once again submitted a diplomatic note to sanction the Japanese government. How do you think we should respond this time?"

Hull pondered and said: "This is indeed a thorny issue. The complaint information provided by the government of the Republic of China this time is extremely detailed and highly credible!

It seems that the Japanese army has indeed committed a crime of massacre against humanity. They are really a bunch of barbarians who have not fully evolved! "

In early 1933, President Roosevelt took office and Cordell Hull was named Secretary of State.

After taking office, Cordell Hull fully supported Roosevelt's "New Deal" in order to minimize the losses caused by the world economic crisis in the United States.

Roosevelt used him to carry out foreign policy to appease some monopoly capitalists' criticism and dissatisfaction with the "New Deal" reforms.

Hull is the longest-serving secretary of state in U.S. history and the recipient of the 1945 Nobel Peace Prize.

After a pause, Hull went on to say: "For more difficult matters, the Chinese side has made a lot of noise. Not only overseas Chinese have assembled and demonstrated many times, but even the American people have shown unprecedented indignation about this. Many newspapers and media Everyone rushed to reprint the report!"

After learning the previous lessons, coupled with the strong economic strength of Dongxing Trading Company and the full operation of the Republic of China government, in just four days, rumors about Japan's new massacre in Shandong were spread all over the United States!

Human beings are born with the psychology of sympathizing with the weak. Before the detailed iron evidence and weeping blood accusations, the public opinion in the United States is naturally one-sided. The vast majority of Americans are extremely sympathetic to the suffering of the Chinese people!

Although they will not give generously and fully support the Chinese War of Resistance, it is no problem to help the demonstrations and shout a few voices, and put some pressure on the US government and the Japanese government!

And those news media naturally like to catch hot spots to join in the fun. In the past few days, newspapers and magazines are full of news photos about the brutal massacre of innocent people by the Japanese army.

"This matter really needs to be treated with caution! As a great federal government of the United States, public opinion should be considered!"

Roosevelt tapped on the table with his fingers, nodded after a long pause, and said, "You are right, we really can't do nothing, we must solemnly declare America's position of freedom, democracy and humanity to the Japanese government!"

Although it is impossible to turn against the Japanese government and intervene in the Sino-Japanese war because of this matter, it is impossible to change the isolationism pursued by the United States, but now that public opinion is boiling, Roosevelt must express something!

Hull picked up the coffee, took a sip, nodded and said, "Then I will send a note to the Japanese ambassador to the United States, Horiuchi, and let them know our American position!"

"Ok!"

Roosevelt nodded, then picked up a scrap steel export agreement to Japan, and then said: "Let the Japanese government restrain itself, otherwise we will impose sanctions and embargoes on them! For example, steel with a high melting point will be listed first. Contraband!"

This scrap export agreement to Japan was submitted by Carnegie, the steel magnate, and it is related to great economic interests. Even if Roosevelt is the president of the United States, he cannot veto it, but he can delay it for a while and put pressure on it!

"Mr. President, I understand! If there is nothing else, then I will leave!"

After speaking, Hull stood up and walked out of the president's office.

"Baga! These Chinese people have now learned how to fight public opinion and kidnap public opinion! It's really not a good thing for us!"

Horiuchi, the Japanese ambassador to the United States, finally managed to deal with the visiting Hull, and then called embassy officials for a short meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Military officer Huang Ozaki said in a gloomy tone: "This time, Dongxing Trading Company is fueling the flames again. These extremely sinister Chinese people will only use such indecent methods!"
