Take Taobao to fight against Japan

"Suoga! That's great! Now there is chaos in Gaomi, Shandong!"

"This guy who is trying to catch his name is finally shooting himself in the foot!"

"Baga! Yang Fan's sea business line must be cut off as soon as possible, and he must not be allowed to import grain from abroad!"

"Don't worry about this. The Empire of Japan has officially submitted a diplomatic note. Even if the Americans continue to connive, it will not work. Without the permission of the Imperial Japanese Navy, no grain can enter Qingdao."

"Yoxi! As long as those victims riot because they can't survive, the Huaxia Huben Army will definitely mess up their own battles!"

Kagesa Haruaki, Inuyoken, Shimizu Tozo, Suga Hikojiro, Nishi Yoshiaki and others thought they had succeeded in their treacherous scheme, and celebrated with each other, very proud of themselves.

Gaomi Yang Mansion.

"Brother Fan, you are finally back!"

Seeing Yang Fan driving home, Wu Qian rushed to meet him.

Seeing Wu Qian's sad face, Yang Fan asked knowingly, "Why, what's the matter?"

Wu Qian forced a smile and said, "Brother Fan, I don't have anything to do. I'm not worried about the victims. Now the newspapers have everything to say, and when I go out, I'm always being chased by those newspaper reporters. I'm so sad. !"

At this time, the father-in-law Wu Rongbang also came over and interjected: "This matter can be big or small. If it is handled well, it will benefit the country and the people. If it is not handled properly, a landmine will catch fire!

Xiaofan, I know you always have your own way of doing things, but this matter really can't be delayed any longer, you must have an explanation as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very bad for your reputation! "

Chapter 559

With the rapid expansion of the defense area of ​​the Huaxia Huben Army, the population of the jurisdiction continues to expand, and now it has reached 730 million people. It is certainly not possible to be as detailed as before, and there are many enemy agents and spies in it.

As long as these people keep silent and be extremely careful, it will be difficult for the intelligence agencies to see through and capture them before they show their signs.

Just like "If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive yourself", for the sake of insurance, Yang Fan did not tell the real situation to his family and confidantes, only the action team members knew the general situation.

However, after a few days of deliberation, it was time to close the net. Yang Fan immediately said with a smile: "Dad, Qian'er, don't worry, just listen to me slowly."

After entering the study, Yang Fan explained the specific situation.

"So that's how it is, Brother Fan. Recently, there has been a sudden chaos here. All kinds of demonstrations, petitions, denunciations, and gossips are flying everywhere, making people panic."

"Yeah, it's all over now, we can finally sleep comfortingly."

The two sisters Wu Qian and Wu Juan immediately frowned.

Especially Wu Qian, who is now in charge of the daily work of the film studio, usually does not worry about current affairs and military affairs, but in the past few days, she has clearly felt what it means to be "the rain is about to come and the building is full of wind", and she is worried about the tragic situation of the refugees gathered in Shanghai , At the same time, I am extremely worried that my side will not be able to withstand the influx of millions of refugees at the same time.

Wu Rongbang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you know it well, the population base determines the potential for war, as long as you can support so many people, that's naturally the best!

In any case, the population of more than 400 million is not a small number. If it comes in a short time, it will be an extremely severe test for us in all aspects. "

Yang Fan said with a smile: "As the saying goes, do a full set of dramas, let's not do a good job in the early resettlement work, it can show a certain degree of panic, and even show signs of being overwhelmed.

Now our defense area is mixed with dragons and snakes, and the monitoring in many places is far from enough. The little devil has planted a lot of spying, so we have to continue the show before all the refugees are transported to Qingdao. "

"Brother Fan, don't worry, we know what to do!"

"The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, and it's very interesting to put a long line to catch big fish!"

The old man and his wives looked at each other with a smile and nodded.

After several days of fermentation and "internal and external troubles", Yang Fan finally responded "difficultly" and held a press conference at the Gaomi Municipal Government at 9 am on September 10.

Yang Fan announced in front of dozens of newspapers and media reporters: Gaomi authorities will do their best to resettle all Chinese refugees who are willing to take refuge in Gaomi, and will spend huge sums of money to lease all ships from Shanghai, Hong Kong and other places to transport refugees.

Yang Fan had just released the news, but the Japanese devils hypocritically announced: "For humanitarian assistance, the Empire of Japan is willing to use all merchant ships and cargo ships to assist charity organizations such as relief societies and the Red Cross in the shortest possible time. All the refugees were transported to Qingdao."

But the prerequisite is that the Gaomi authorities provide the gasoline used by the ships and pay the crew salaries.

This "reasonable small request" naturally got the approval of the refugees, the concession, and the national government authorities. Immediately afterwards, the Relief Association and the Gaomi authorities negotiated and bargained with the Japanese side, and finally reached a consensus. The Gaomi authorities were "forced to "Agreed to the conditions of the Japanese side, responsible for providing fuel and paying crew salaries.

In fact, Yang Fan temporarily shook hands with Japan "under pressure from all sides" to make peace: during the period when Japan assists in the evacuation of refugees, no military attack on the Japanese-occupied areas in Shandong is allowed.

Regarding this point, Yang Fan has carefully considered it. Although the action will be anticlimactic, it will disappoint the troops who are in high spirits.

However, in order to increase the population by more than 400 million and further enhance the war potential, this concession is completely acceptable.

After all, they are all hard bones now, no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to get much oil and water, but the population of more than 400 million is a real demographic dividend.

War potential includes manpower, material resources, financial resources and spiritual power, etc., which determine the scale of war forces and the length of war duration.

In the current era, war really depends on the strength of the number of people. Yang Fan not only wants to defeat Little Japan and win the War of Resistance, but also wants to take this opportunity to completely let the Chinese nation stand up and create a new world order.

Yang Fan was sharpening his sword, and the devils were also taking advantage of the fire to loot. After some coquettish operations, it can be said that he has gained both fame and fortune.

The Japanese not only reaped a lot of benefits, a large amount of oil and real money, and the Japanese-occupied areas in Shandong got a respite, but also caused huge social effects.

For example, the Wang puppet government, the enemy-occupied areas, pro-daily media, and foreign media, which are in full swing for preparations, are all praising the Japanese devils' humanitarian deeds in various ways.

Even those refugees struggling on the verge of life and death were somewhat "moved". Although the tragic experience of their families being destroyed and leaving their homes was caused by the Japanese, it became a life-saving straw at this time.

In addition, the Japanese side took advantage of this hot spot and shamelessly beautified the retreat of the previous few days as a humanitarian action implemented "in order to prevent innocent Chinese civilians from being killed under the artillery fire of the Chinese Huben Army".

These two incidents have been hyped up together, and Japan can be said to have done its best, occupying the commanding heights of public opinion. For a while, Japan seemed to have become a defender of righteousness in the world, while the Chinese Tigers and Benjuns had changed. He became a war executioner who framed and put blame on him.

Of course, Yang Fan strongly criticized and refuted these negative news, and fought a war of words with the Japanese devils in a "frustrated manner".

While cursing and arguing across the air, the refugee transfer work was not delayed at all.

Yang Fan has already mobilized 3 large freighters, 3 merchant ships, 3 passenger ships and some fishing boats, which can transport more than [-] people each time.

It's just that it takes a lot of time to travel by water. It takes 65 hours at the fastest to go back and forth from Shanghai to Qingdao by boat, which means it takes nearly three days.

If refugees are transported at this speed, even if they are transported back and forth day and night, it will take at least a year and a half to transport all the more than 400 million refugees from Shanghai to Qingdao.

But the Japanese devils stepped in very generously for various purposes.

Japan has used a lot of resources to organize an extremely large transport fleet, increasing the total transport capacity to more than 8 people each time.

That is to say, an average of 2.7 people can be transported to Qingdao every day, and it only takes five months to transport all the more than [-] million refugees stranded in Shanghai.

Chapter 560 Weak Country Without Diplomacy

"Wow, I finally arrived in Qingdao!"

"I just don't know, will there be food, drink, and good jobs here as in the legend?"

"Hey, take one step at a time and see one step at a time. It's good to be able to live well in today's troubled times!"

"Yes, I have been starving and sleeping on the streets in Shanghai for several months, and I was almost sent to Luan Graves several times! I think no matter how bad it is, it won't be so bad!"

On the morning of September 9, the fleet entered Qingdao port one after another. In just a few hours, nearly 12 refugees got off the ship and entered Qingdao port with hope and fear.

The Gaomi authorities, which had been prepared long ago, organized a large amount of manpower and material resources to receive, evacuate and resettle the swarming refugees.

In order to absorb and digest these more than 400 million refugees smoothly, Yang Fan really gave up a lot of thought. In addition to frantically expanding the city construction company, the number of formal employees alone has exceeded 30, and he has purchased a large number of modern construction equipment and facilities, frantically stockpiling cement, Building materials such as steel bars, bricks and tiles.

Moreover, Yang Fan has been carrying out urbanization construction all the time, building a large number of modern residential quarters, building a piece of five-story reinforced concrete buildings, and a large number of urbanization livelihood projects, livelihood facilities, traffic roads and civil air defense projects.

In addition, Yang Fan set up a special government affairs leading organization, and hosted government system meetings many times to summarize and follow up the urbanization construction.

With high attention and the inclination of massive resources, the Huaxia Huben Army has maintained a high-efficiency construction progress. Residential buildings have sprung up, and modern residential areas and towns are constantly taking shape.

Although there will be an influx of more than 1300 million residents in just a few months this time, and the total population of the area will skyrocket to around [-] million, Yang Fan has enough confidence and ability to fully digest it!

The tricks and plots of the little devil's misfortune will only end up shooting himself in the foot.

White House in Washington, USA.

With some headaches, Roosevelt put down the documents in his hand, picked up the coffee and stirred it with a spoon, constantly thinking and weighing these several diplomatic documents delivered almost at the same time in his head.

Yang Fan counterattacked in the autumn of the reaction, and the Japanese devils once again used human shields to massacre and harm Chinese civilians. With a large amount of evidence, Yang Fan and the Nationalist government carried out public opinion propaganda and put pressure on them through diplomatic channels.

In particular, the Nationalist Government clearly stated that in view of the repeated brutal massacres by the Japanese aggressors, it would no longer directly allocate Boxer Indemnity to the Japanese government.”

Boxer indemnity can be traced back to the period of Empress Dowager Cixi. Cixi used the Boxer Regiment to attack foreigners. Finally, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China and entered Beijing. , the total principal and interest is nearly 4.5 billion taels, which is equivalent to 10 billion yuan now.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the task of paying compensation naturally fell into the hands of the National Government.

Now China and Japan have already broken their heads, and most of China has been burned red by the flames of war, but the two countries have not declared war, and until now the two countries are still maintaining diplomacy!

So although there is a treaty to pay compensation, China and Japan are in a state of full-scale war. While Japan is beating us, we will pay him back. Isn't this funny?

As for the national government, it was a lot of helplessness, a tear of bitterness, a weak country without diplomacy!It is mainly based on the following three considerations:

First, keep the tariffs.

When the Qing government signed the treaty, it was guaranteed by customs tariffs. In the Republic of China, the customs tariffs were redundant in addition to paying the Gengzi indemnity, and the other big powers were to protect the Huaxia Customs, because they had to pay them compensation ah!

Therefore, Generalissimo Jiang started the war and continued to pay compensation to Japan in order to keep the customs tariffs. Otherwise, once the Japanese army cut off the customs, this part of the income would be lost!The loss outweighs the gain!

Second, maintain the overall situation.

The national government has always been poor, basically relying on issuing a large amount of national debt and borrowing money from foreign powers for construction and armaments.

Therefore, at that time, many countries in the world held a large amount of Huaxia treasury bonds.

And what does the national debt depend on?It relies on national credit, so once Chairman Jiang announces that he will not fulfill the indemnity to Japan, the great powers will greatly reduce the credit of the national government, and they may sell their national debts, causing huge pressure to redeem them, and it will be difficult to borrow money after losing their credit. !

Third, there is still hope.

Although Generalissimo Chiang and Japan were fighting fiercely, an all-out war had already broken out.However, neither side has officially declared war. In the international arena, if there is no declaration of war, it is not a state of war!

Generalissimo Chiang had always had hope for Japan, and he did not dare to completely sever relations with Japan and let go of a war.

We always hope for a peaceful settlement and sit down to talk, so continuing to pay reparations is conducive to maintaining this relationship.

But no matter from which point of view, it is a great shame to pay the enemy money when the war breaks out, which is completely equivalent to spending money to beat yourself!

This time, Generalissimo Jiang finally took a hard look and proposed that all Boxer indemnities that should be allocated to Japan should be automatically transferred to the special account opened at HSBC Bank in the United Kingdom for "preparation for Japan Boxer money".

In this way, the Japanese can't get involved at all, which can not only calm domestic public opinion, but also show China's international reputation.

So from September 1939, Japan has never received any payment from China.

At the same time, Japan once again strongly protested the "slander" of the Chinese government, and made a big fuss about "humanitarian retreat" and "humanitarian evacuation of refugees" to clear up its grievances.

Moreover, the Japanese side further requested the suspension of commercial routes to Qingdao, and no longer sell any materials that may be used for war to the Chinese Huben Army.

The diplomatic notes that came and went were completely point-of-needle confrontation, either you die or I die, which caused Roosevelt a little headache.

Now that Yang Fan has purchased a large amount of automobiles, cement, steel, and oil, he already has extremely close interest relationships with various American corporate consortiums, and he is no longer as insignificant as before.

As for Japan, it is now becoming more and more inflated. Not only does it have great interests, it also has strong military strength and ambitions, and it is even more difficult to offend.

After a while.Roosevelt looked up at Secretary of State Cordell Hull not far away and said:

"This is really a pair of life and death enemies. The contradictions between the two parties are completely irreconcilable, and both parties are currently trading partners of the United States! This matter is really tricky!"

Hull said with a smile: "It is indeed difficult to coordinate on the surface, but it is far from being incompatible. We have clearly proposed the implementation of the neutrality law. As long as we do not sell arms to China, Japan will not turn against us." !

Our economy in the United States of America is recovering, and we still need more vitality and assistance. We can ignore external wars, but our own economic interests must be safeguarded! "

"That's right! Then it's the same as last time, each with [-] boards!"

Roosevelt nodded. As the president of the United States who is far away from the Eurasian battlefield, he is far from suffering. Although he has already strengthened national defense construction and combat readiness, his biggest principle is to recover the economy and satisfy the people at this stage.

Chapter 561 Quarterly Summary

On September 1939, 9, in order to strengthen its political and strategic control, ensure the maintenance of important lines of communication in the Chinese-occupied areas, and support the puppet regime of Wang Jingwei, the Japanese army base camp newly established the General Headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Army in Nanjing.

The Japanese base camp appointed General Hisao Nishio as the commander-in-chief, and Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki as the chief of staff, and revoked the designation of the Central China Expeditionary Force.

Out of the need to ensure the security of the occupied areas and support the puppet regime, the headquarters of the Japanese China Expeditionary Army attached great importance to Central China, deployed a strong mobile force in Wuhan, and attempted to adopt a strategy of attacking and defending, timely attacking Hunan, Hubei and other regions. The Huaxia Army in Jiangxi.

This task naturally fell on Okamura Ningji's Eleventh Army.

At 9:14 a.m. on September 60, Nakai Ryotaro's division and a part of Saito Yahei Taishi's division attacked the [-]th Division of Lu Han No. [-] Army stationed in Huibu from near Fengxin, Jiangxi, and attacked Song Ken at the same time. The positions of Tang Jun and Sun Du's Eighth Army launched a diversionary attack.

The gunfire of the Japanese army broke the suffocating silence and expectation, but Luo Zhuoying, the commander of the Huaxia Army in northern Jiangxi, put aside the anxiety that had plagued him for many days, and felt relieved instead.

As soon as the battle started, Xue Yue gave Luo Zhuoying an order, asking him to command the headquarters, carry out gradual resistance, and look for fighters to counterattack.

Xue Yue emphasized that the situation was very urgent. If the main forces of the three Japanese divisions in the east were allowed to successfully rescue the Japanese troops who surrounded Changsha, the defense of Changsha could only end in failure, and the ninth war zone would have to abandon Changsha.

Xue Yue said clearly: "Since the enemy is going to fight westward, we can't live to see them enter Hunan. If we fight to the death, I will not investigate; if we see the losers alive, I will kill them one by one."

From Xue Yue's words, Luo Zhuoying understood this point: In the battle in northern Jiangxi, only success is not allowed and failure is not allowed, otherwise, one mistake will be eternal hatred.

As for Gao'an and Xiushui, which the Japanese army mainly attacked, Luo Zhuoying was quite confident and sure.

In terms of high security, the defenders have built a fairly solid position over the past few months, including stronghold-style semi-permanent field fortifications. The points are connected into lines, and then the lines are connected into areas.

All kinds of firearm bunkers are covered. There are barbed wire nets and deer villages in front of the bunkers. The fire nets are tightly woven in front of and inside the positions.
