Hardy Empire 1945

Hardy stayed with Han Yizhen in Hong Kong for a few days, and the woman was in a particularly good mood these days. That night, the two were lying on the bed, and Han Yizhen leaned against Hardy and said, You have a lot of things over there, and you also stayed with me for a few days. Go about your own business tomorrow.

I'm afraid you have something to do, so I want to spend more time with you. Hardy said, stroking the woman's back.

What can I do? There are housekeepers, chefs, nannies, and bodyguards here. Those masters of traditional Chinese medicine also come to check me up regularly. There is nothing to worry about. There are so many women in the world who have children, so there is no need to be so nervous. Han Yizhen said.

Hardy did, too.

Okay, then I will come to accompany you when I have time. Hardy said.

Han Yezhen nodded.

The two were close to each other, the woman felt the changes in Hardy's body, looked up at Hardy and smiled softly: Can I help you?

 …

Hardy returns to Japan.

Managers from various departments came to report that all enterprises are now operating according to their plans. Industrial enterprises have become parts processing factories in the United States, and light industries have become production bases for daily necessities in the United States. Now they are all in the profitable stage.

Although there is a freight fee, the labor here is too cheap, and the cost calculation is much cheaper than production in the United States. Capitalists make money by calculating accounts, and naturally there will be a steady stream of business flowing into Japan.

The Japanese people work hard to earn wages, which also stimulates the consumer market. Some daily life products produced in Japan are also sold in Japan, directly earning money from the Japanese.

More people have money, and the black market is booming.

The red light district has opened for business.

Nightclubs, taverns, fun houses, and women's workshops, where women can do business normally, and men can spend freely, quickly become lively.

Don't doubt a man's sense of smell.

Even those places hiding in dark corners can be found. This kind of place with reasonable and legal consumption prices is definitely a man’s paradise. A man with money in his hand, it’s too much to invite three or five friends to drink and then enjoy it. Normal.

There are also people who come here to play slot machines and pinball machines. Gambling is still illegal now, and it is not illegal to change the form. Hardy asked them to play the pachinko of later generations. Pinball and slot machine coins are not money.

After winning the ball and coins, you can exchange rewards, and there is a reward-for-money business next to it, completing a perfect closed loop.

You say this is opportunistic gambling in disguise?

No,

This is called the fair use rule.

legitimate.

No one cares.

In fact, Hardy also thought about promoting the legalization of gambling in Japan at the time, and it may not be impossible to succeed, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

After gambling is legalized, the government will benefit the most, because the government can collect taxes, and gambling is a heavy tax, and most of the money will be earned by the government.

In the current model, the government does not receive a penny of tax, and all the profits belong to the gang. Of course, most of the gang’s money has to be handed over, and after layers of transmission, it finally gathers in Hardy’s hands. Casinos make a lot of money.

And in the red-light district next to the US military base, the event was even more vigorous, singing and dancing continued all day long, as if there was a party every day, and those American soldiers went crazy.

Don't go back to the barracks all night.

MacArthur is also a strange general. He thinks that it is nothing for soldiers to go out to play, so those American soldiers will all run into the red light district as soon as they let the wind go.

There are not only food, beauties, drinks, various entertainment items to enjoy, but also things that make them more excited.

poison.

That's right.

In Japan, Hardy no longer forbids his subordinates to do this business, and he still specially assigns people to vigorously manage this project.

The main variety is ice.

In fact, ice was invented very early, and it was widely used in Japan during World War II to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Many Japanese soldiers killed people like crazy, and the kamikaze commandos who feared death were all because of these drugs.

Even at the end of the war, in order to motivate soldiers to fight crazily, Germany and Japan simply added these things to their military rations.

After Japan's defeat.

The Allied forces occupied Japan and found a large number of pills.

It is said that it is worth several million dollars. Later, the Allied forces simply put it in hospitals and pharmacies and sold the pills to the outside world, making a lot of money from it.

Because it is legal and sought after by the public, many Japanese entertainers, singers, writers, band members, and people in the literary and artistic circles joined the ranks and became addicts. Later, the Japanese government discovered the problem and formulated a doping ban law. The flooding on the face stopped.

but,

What stops is only on the surface.

Secretly, there has been no reduction, but instead of being sold by pharmacies, it has been controlled by gangs. Before Hardy formed the Straw Hats, the drug business was one of the traditional businesses of Japanese gangs.

Among the enterprises acquired by Hardy are chemical companies, which produce semi-finished medicines and chemical products on the surface, but secretly produce these things on a large scale and supply them to the Japanese market in large quantities. This is a major consumption item in the red light district.

Pornography, gambling and drugs.

The traditional craftsmanship of gangsters cannot be lost.

Our main purpose is not to make money, but to promote traditional American culture and enrich the cultural and entertainment life of Japanese people.

It is a great event with merits in the present and benefits in the future.

His American father has legalized smoking jelly, and is about to open a big smoking den. How can a son be left behind?

Even because of the high output, drugs have returned to the United States. Hardy does not participate in the drug business in the United States, but those gangster families are all doing this business, and they quickly accept the cheaper ice market.

Began to become one of the three main products in the US market.

The source of the supplier is this little-known secret chemical factory in Japan.

As for the funds traded between the two parties, they do not need to be circulated into the hands of the other party, but into the Cayman Islands. In the future, Cayman may become the largest drug trading market.

Hardy has calculated that from the source shipment, intermediate transportation, American gangster distribution, Cayman money laundering, etc., Hardy can make a fortune.

With the current annual sales volume, Hardy can earn hundreds of millions of dollars from this business.

And this business.

Hardy never met.

.........

After the heads of various departments finished their reports, Hardy called the editor-in-chief of the Global Times to live in Japan, and ordered:

Set up an expert column on the Global Times Japan Edition, dedicated to discussing Japan's political, economic and cultural content, and invite those pro-American experts to criticize Japan's shortcomings, disadvantages, unfreedom, and feudalism.

The issue of popular elections, reflection on the war of aggression, the issue of the emperor's non-God, the issue of improving the status of women, the issue of public welfare, etc., can all be discussed. From the bottom of my heart, I am more obedient to the country of America.”

Hardy plans to vigorously cultivate Japanese public figures.

These people have no real skills, and they are the first to talk.

To put it bluntly, it is to say that the United States is so advanced, so free, and so great, that Japan can't do this, that can't be done, and it can be extremely belittling, suppressing the other party from the heart.

The editor knows,

This is to launch a new round of public opinion psychological warfare against Japan.

Also, send a few good pens to the barracks to interview MacArthur, the chief of staff, and the generals of the divisions, and make a special issue of the army introduction. The introduction is more detailed, including the resumes of those generals, the deployment of the army, and the promotion of the strength of the Mi army. .”

By the way, inform the reporters stationed in South Korea to have them conduct similar interviews with the Eighth Army stationed in North Korea.

The editor-in-chief's guess is that by promoting the strength of the US military, the Japanese will be more awed and dare not resist, which is also part of cultural oppression.

Maybe everyone thinks so.

No one knows that Hardy thinks more. The war may be coming soon. The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy can be targeted. A detailed report on the commanders and military allocation of the two troops that are going to fight in the future may play a role in certain decisions. help.

Even if it's just fur, it's better than having black eyes.

 …

this day.

George Sutherland, chief of staff of Allied Forces Command in Japan, received a call from Hardy and asked him to have a drink and chat.

Before George Sutherland received a telegram from Major General Williams, telling Sutherland that Hardy was his best friend and partner. He wanted to meet friends from the Allied Forces stationed in Japan. Williams introduced Hardy to him. Sutherland.

Hardy is very famous now. He is a well-known rich man in the United States, a media tycoon, and a good friend of President Johnson.

Such a person Sutherland has long wanted to know, but there is no way out.

It was his honor that Hardy wanted to know him, how could he not agree, when he received a call from Hardy, he immediately said: No, Mr. Hardy, I should treat you, I will arrange a place in Tokyo to treat you to a drink.

Hehe, it's all the same, isn't it? Hardy said with a smile.

The place where the two met was arranged in a very famous club in Tokyo. It was originally the manor of a wealthy Japanese businessman during the Meiji Restoration period.

The long tables are filled with various Japanese delicacies.

Four women in kimonos sat around and waited, and Hardy and Sutherland chatted over drinks.

In front of outsiders, they don't say anything private, just talk about some public topics to get to know each other.

Both sides are interested in getting closer, so naturally the chat is very speculative.

Hardy sighed: Actually, a few years ago, I was a soldier under your command, fighting on the Asian battlefield. Looking back, time flies so fast.

Special Envoy Hardy managed to reach such a level in just a few years, and now you are a legend in the United States, and many young people look to you as a role model. Sutherland complimented.

I was just lucky. Hardy said with a smile.

I don't believe that luck can make Mr. Hardy achieve what he is today. The newspapers have reported your affairs in detail, and those major decisions are simply amazing.

full of wine and food,

The two came to the garden for a walk and chat.

Hardy said:

General Sutherland, I intend to ask the Global Times to conduct an in-depth report on the Allied Forces Command in Japan and publicize the power of the Allied Forces Command. Doing so can strengthen the idea that the US military is strong and invincible in the hearts of the Japanese. Our future notifications will be helpful, Hardy said.

The U.S. military has always carried out political propaganda against Japan. As the chief of staff, Sutherland is responsible for these things.

Of course no problem, I fully support it. Sutherland agreed.

This is something that both parties pursue together, how could he refuse.

I'm going to start with General MacArthur, and then the heads of the masters. I hope General Sutherland can help arrange it. Hardy said.

Sutherland hesitated a little, It's okay to arrange for the division heads to be interviewed, but I can't guarantee General MacArthur. You know, sometimes we can't grasp the commander-in-chief's temper.

Hehe, it's fine if you help communicate. It's fine if General MacArthur disagrees. Hardy said.

MacArthur is still in Osaka.

In fact, since Hardy came to Japan, he and MacArthur have never met. It can be said that the king has not seen the king.

When MacArthur received a call from Sutherland and heard that Hardy was going to arrange for him to be interviewed, a smile appeared on his face. Arranging such an interview to promote him and his army should be Hardy showing his favor to himself. .

MacArthur's heart is so strong.

Moreover, MacArthur himself is also a person who likes to show off very much. Someone interviewed him to promote himself, and he happened to show off in front of the Japanese.

I agree to the interview. MacArthur said.
