Republic of China game

"I don't know, what kind of projects do you want to invest in?" Lao Jiang smiled slightly and interjected first.

Lu Yunhuai and the two brothers exchanged glances, and replied with a smile: "We want to invest in China Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., but instead of taking 2000 to [-]% of the shares, we want to... hold the shares. We plan to invest [-] million pounds to become a company The controlling shareholder of the company, we will run the steel company in the future. I wonder if you can agree?"

It turns out that these wealthy Nanyang merchants have excellent vision. The next ten or even twenty years will inevitably be the climax of the construction of the Southern Kingdom. The demand for steel is naturally extremely high, so there is no need to worry about not making money.In contrast, the rubber and sugar industries in Nanyang are already saturated and suppressed by the colonial authorities, so they are no longer as profitable as they used to be.

As soon as Lu Yunhuai spoke, the room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Luo Yaoguo.These businessmen have already inquired clearly, and Lao Jiang has nothing to say about this matter. The Armament Department has always been controlled by the Luo family.

2000 million pounds!That's 8000 million US dollars, nearly 5 million French currency!With this amount of money, the capital of the steel company will be close to [-] million yuan!It is more than the total capital of the Japanese steel industry. These overseas Chinese are really rich!The Kuomintang is capitalism here, so naturally it doesn't care about private holdings. The question is... there are many special steel projects with a lot of investment and slow results. Are these capitalists willing to invest?

Probably seeing what Luo Yaoguo was thinking, Lu Yunhuai smiled and said: "If General Fuwen is worried that no one will do those special steel projects with huge investment, then that's easy to handle. We can sign an agreement with the Armament Department. 20% of the annual pre-tax profits are used as a military steel investment fund. The Ministry of Armaments will instruct us on what to invest in, and we will be responsible for the operation. If...more than this fund, the Ministry of Armaments will be required to provide a subsidy of [-]% of the total investment. We lose money and do it. Is this okay?"

Chapter 0275

"You... that agrees?"

Lao Jiang frowned and glanced at Luo Yaoguo who was sitting next to him in the back seat of the car, and asked the same question again.His bald head really didn't understand that Luo Yaoguo was so shrewd, how could he be fooled by a few Nanyang capitalists like this?How can you give such favorable conditions?

Luo Yaoguo responded with a faint smile, "That's 2000 million pounds of bait, so I can't help being tempted. Right now, the construction of heavy industry is about to enter a climax, and all kinds of imported machinery and equipment will be bought with hard currency. When the time comes I am afraid that this foreign exchange will flow out like a tide, and how much can be returned through exports? The only way for us to make up for the trade deficit is to attract foreign capital, even if the conditions are better. There is no way. Besides, these Nanyang After all, the rich are not outsiders, and our party has received their sponsorship for so many years, and now it should be rewarded a little bit."

Any developing country in the initial stage of industrialization will definitely have a high trade deficit.Because a large amount of industrial equipment and raw materials need to be imported at this stage, it is impossible to create much export before the production capacity of these industrial projects is released.In order to avoid the depletion of foreign exchange, capitalist countries at this stage often try their best to attract foreign capital.For China, it is naturally the best choice to attract overseas Chinese capital from Nanyang, and there is no reason to push them out.And... even for the steel industry, there are several high-tech projects waiting to be launched, such as 3000-ton hydraulic presses, wide and thick plates, medium and heavy plates, seamless steel pipes, etc., which require a lot of investment and foreign exchange.Now it only needs a subsidy of [-] to [-] million French currency from the Ministry of Armaments, and it can be built within a few years. So who is taking advantage?

……

The door of the first-class cabin of the Princess Mary was gently pushed open, except for a sea breeze with a slightly salty smell, there was a cute little loli.Holding a greeting card in her hand, she stood there respectfully with her head bowed.

Luo Yaoguo looked at her, always sighing in his heart.This little loli maid is really cute, but she's a little too small to be too big to talk about. When she grows up, she will...

Luo Yaoguo narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zheng Yingji, who was still very young, put away his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Little Lolita, what's the matter?"

Zheng Yingji knew that "Little Lolita" was calling her, so she didn't dare to reply. She just handed over the post with both hands, and said timidly: "Master, this is from an old man named Pan Peizhu and an uncle named Ruan Aiguo." post, asking to see the master."

"Pan Peizhu, Ruan Aiguo!" Luo Yaoguo was surprised, and took the post with his hand.On the white single-fold cover, three large characters were written in ink, Pan Peizhu!Below is a line of fine print: Prime Minister Pan Bai of the Vietnamese Nationalist Party.

These three big characters are really "iron bones"... This name is as resounding as Sun Yat-sen in Vietnam. Even Ruan Aiguo, who will become "Uncle Ho" in the future, is now following him with a low eyebrow and acting like a younger brother. .Such a Vietnamese god-level figure actually came to Singapore and came to visit him.It seems... not easy to deal with.

Luo Yaoguo played with the post, smiled and said, "Yes, I'll wait for them in the conference room."

At the door of the reception room, Little Lolita led the two great Vietnamese gods to come softly.One-third of this cruise ship was chartered by the national government inspection team, and a meeting room was dedicated to the inspection team.Luo Yaoguo straightened his clothes, took the hand of pornographic spy Natalie, and the two of them stood at the door of the meeting room with smiles and greeted them.

At this time, Little Lolita had already led two dark and thin Vietnamese revolutionaries to walk quickly.The older one in a Chinese robe should be Pan Peizhu.The man behind him was wearing a black suit and tie.Looking at his protruding cheekbones, high forehead, and deep-set eye sockets, he really looks like Uncle Ho in the future. I wonder if there is still a chance in this time and space?

Luo Yaoguo cupped his fists and cupped his hands: "Your junior, Luo Yaoguo has met Mr. Pan."

Pan Peizhu was a revolutionary of the same generation as Sun Yat-sen, and had a friendship with Sun Yat-sen. Luo Yaoguo was two generations behind him, and he could only pretend to be a junior in the Kuomintang, which likes to discuss seniority.

Pan Peizhu was also polite, and nodded slightly as a return of the courtesy, walked into the meeting room, found a seat, and sat down.On the other hand, Ruan Aiguo and Luo Yaoguo were "intimate" for a while, they clasped fists, shook hands, and kissed Luo Yaoguo hard on the face!Then he kissed Natalie's delicate and white jade hand as creamy... Well, the etiquette of these French people is really terrible!I don't know if Marshal Pétain will hug Chiang Kai-shek like this after a while?

Luo Yaoguo naturally knew the intention of Pan Peizhu and Ruan Aiguo's visit.Speaking of which, these Vietnamese revolutionaries are also pitiful. They originally had a good relationship with the Kuomintang, and they have been living in southern China, looking for opportunities to go back to their hometowns from time to time to carry out terrorist activities or something, and raise some money by the way.This approach is the same as that of the North Korean patriots, but hasn't the Kuomintang turned to imperialism?There is France in this imperialism, so these Vietnamese revolutionaries were expelled by the cruel Kuomintang right wing.It's the travel expenses and the first-class ferry ticket, please go out.As a result, a life of ups and downs began... Therefore, this Pan Peizhu didn't give Luo Yaoguo a good face when she saw Luo Yaoguo, and she also followed the example of the Kuomintang veterans.

Ruan Aiguo didn't show any signs of expression, he still put on a smiling face and chatted with Luo Yaoguo, and by the way, tried to beat around the bush, to see if he could get some "aid" or something.This "aid" is now under the control of the Intelligence Bureau, and the Intelligence Bureau is under the control of Luo Yaoguo's confidants.So Pan Peizhu and Ruan Aiguo had no choice but to come to visit with the cheek.

You come and go, and after probing for a while, Pan Peizhu finally couldn't help it, and said his intention: "The old man came this time to hope that your party can help us 'expel the French thieves and restore Vietnam'. Now your party has controlled half of the country. The unification of China is just around the corner. At that time, your country will regain its position as the leader of the "Yellow Race Country". After China's rise, conflicts with Western colonists are inevitable. Looking around China, it is all the territory of Western powers China is really surrounded by big powers, and there is no real friend to rely on... Supporting the Vietnamese revolution is to defend the fruits of the Chinese revolution. The success of the Vietnamese revolution is the consolidation of the Chinese revolution... We have contacted some righteous people and are ready To launch a large-scale armed uprising, we urgently need a sum of funds and weapons and ammunition.”

Hearing the other party's request, Luo Yaoguo smiled and said nothing, but he was thinking about it in his heart.These Vietnamese revolutionaries are not in line with their current goals. They are pursuing national independence. Uh, this is the most annoying.And his goal is the Greater East Asian Community, and it will definitely be troublesome at that time.Or let them hit the egg with the stone and smash it?But...it doesn't seem easy for me to show up, right?Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo winked at Natalie who was beside him.

Natalie understood, and smiled slightly: "I don't know how many people will participate in your party's uprising? How much assistance do you need?"

Ruan Aiguo froze for a moment, then turned his gaze to Natalie.Natalie's identity is not a secret anymore, of course Ruan Aiguo, who has a close relationship with the CCP, knows about it.Now that she speaks, does she represent Soviet Russia?But...the Comintern has no instructions in this regard?

Pan Peizhu didn't care about so many things. When she saw something was going on, she beamed with joy and said with a smile: "We now have about 30 righteous men, and we need [-] rifles, [-] rounds of bullets, and [-] French currency for a war. .”

Natalie smiled again and said: "We are going to visit Europe now, will you arrange your affairs after we come back from Europe? We will never let you down then."

Luo Yaoguo glanced at the beauties beside him, and thought that the two of us are getting more and more tacit understanding now.Let the Soviet Union take the blame for this matter. At that time, find a few White Russians to pretend to be, send some money for bullets, and then come out with a traitor or something...

Chapter 0276

Early August 1926.Saibei, a certain valley in Chahar.

I don't know when this inaccessible valley has become so prosperous.Not long ago, engineers and soldiers from the [-]th Division of the Central Committee of Zhangjiakou felled the forest in the valley and cleared a large open space.Then a large densely packed wooden house was built with the cut wood and upper soil.The wooden house is surrounded by fences, and tall watchtowers are built every few hundred meters.A wide trench was dug outside the fence... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a primitive tribe.

Not long after the "tribe" was built, a small group of troops from nowhere came in.Afterwards, more troops rushed over one after another, and soon the wooden house was full, and many tents were set up in the open space inside the fence.The entire "tribe" was originally a military base, with more than 5000 troops stationed there.It's just that this army doesn't have any flags, nor is it equipped with any weapons. I don't know who raised it for fun?

A dark night in August.In a room in the center of the base, there are lights like beans.Lin Yurong and Su Yu from the Kuomintang Army Officer Academy looked at each other silently.

Su Yu played with the teacup in his hand.Suddenly smiled faintly: "Brother Yurong, I think our mission this time is very unusual!"

Lin Yurong sat there with his hands in his sleeves, with a half-smile on his face: "Zhiyu (Su Yu), which side's mission are you talking about is unusual?"

Su Yu forced a smile: "Which side? Which side can there be? Of course it is the task of the Kuomintang side. Now we have lost contact with the organization. Hal happened to be our comrades? Even Hou Jingru, Secretary of the Special Committee of the Military Academy... Could it be that there are traitors among us?"

Lin Yurong smiled and shook his head: "It's hard to say whether there are traitors, but they must know our identities, otherwise such a coincidence would not have happened."

This time, a group of secret Communist Party members in the Army Military Academy, including Hou Jingru, Lin Yurong, Su Yu, Luo Ruiqing, and Wang Shushen, all received an urgent mission at the same time, and then isolated themselves from the world.I didn't know where I was going until I got on the train, and the officer leading the team refused to say anything.After being locked in a stuffy tank truck for a few days, when I opened the door, I realized that I was in the northern grassland.I don’t want to say where exactly, and then I walked more than 100 miles to the base in this mountainous area.It wasn't until soldiers were sent here one after another that Lin Yurong and Su Yu knew that they had arrived in Chahar!

Su Yu made a grimace at Lin Yurong: "Yurong, do you think they will..." He made a beheading gesture with his hand.The meaning is very clear, since they are exposed, will the rightists of the Kuomintang kill them?Uh, a secret killing.It seems that such a place with high mountains, dangerous roads and inaccessible places is very suitable for doing this.

Lin Yurong glanced at Su Yu angrily, stood up from the kang, and walked squarely in the narrow room.Su Yu was joking with him when he killed anything. If he wanted to kill him, he would have killed him early. Why would he need to be transported thousands of miles away to Chahar to kill him?Wouldn't it be easier to just find someone in the southern country to kill and then bury him?The intelligence bureau of the Kuomintang should have done this kind of thing a lot, right?

"Zhiyu, the Kuomintang seems to have a new trend this time... This is Chahar. It is the territory of the left wing of the Kuomintang. Haven't they always had conflicts with the right wing of the Kuomintang and are close to our party and the Soviet Union? How can they help now? The right wing of the Kuomintang is raising arms? And it's still in...the north! Don't you think this is strange?"

When Lin Yurong said that, Su Yu frowned tightly.The army of nearly 5000 people has now been organized into four regiments, one battalion each for artillery, engineering, cavalry, and transportation, and one teaching brigade.Although each unit has a large shortage, but this is the shelf of an infantry division.As soon as the weapons and ammunition and the supplementary soldiers arrive, and the training lasts for three months, an elite infantry division controlled by the rightists of the Kuomintang will immediately appear in the east of the Suiyuan Soviet Area.In the southwest of the Soviet area, there is the No.20 Division of the Kuomintang...

"Yurong, tell me...does the Kuomintang want something to attack our Soviet area!" Su Yu took out a map of China from the backpack hanging on the wall and spread it out on the kang.He tapped Suiyuan on the map: "The Kuomintang has a division west of Suiyuan, and their ally, the Youth Party's 17 troops. Now another division has been deployed to the east of Suiyuan, plus the Kuomintang leftists. One division. Then there will be about [-] troops placed around the Soviet area, and a surprise attack may be launched at any time!"

After analyzing this, the two gasped and looked at each other.The room suddenly became quiet again, except for the faint sound of howling wind outside.

……

The door of the room was pushed open suddenly with a creak, and a handsome young officer with a square nose and wide mouth bumped in, holding a kerosene lantern in his hand.

Lin Yurong let out a sigh of relief: "So it's Secretary Hou, so what's the matter so late?"

The visitor turned out to be Hou Jingru, secretary of the Special Committee of the Central Military Academy of the Communist Party of China, and a graduate of the first phase of the Central Military Academy.This time, he was also sent to Chahar to participate in the leadership of the "Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army", that is, the "false Red Army".Responsible for the formation and training of a regiment, the other three regiment leaders are Wang Guodong, Chen Tian and Liu Dezhu, all of whom are confidantes of Wang Zhongyi, and are all old men from the Eighth Division of the National Army.

Hou Jingru didn't answer, but looked around to make sure no one was following him.Then he closed the door lightly, walked to the edge of the kang, sat down on his buttocks, and smiled wryly: "Yurong, Zhiyu, no one will believe you when you tell me this. Guess this time the Kuomintang rightists What are they going to do? They are actually going to the Northeast to organize a Red Army uprising, and we are the Red Army that is about to uprising!"

"What?" Lin Yurong and Su Yu exclaimed in unison.

There is such a thing!The Kuomintang wants to pretend to be the Red Army uprising to find trouble with the Feng Faction. What should we do about this...?Sue the Kuomintang for intellectual property infringement?Should they be required to compensate for losses, publish an apology in the newspaper, and eliminate the influence?

Lin Yurong reacted a little faster, recovering from the shock first: "Secretary Hou, is there still no way to contact the organization?"

This thing is too big and too special.Without asking the central government for instructions, they really don't know how to deal with it, and they can't deal with it casually.

Hou Jingru waved his hand: "Not yet, we are trapped here, surrounded by their guards, and we are not allowed to leave at all. But we will find an opportunity in September, and then we will go to Daxing'an Mountains in batches The Kuomintang plans to launch an uprising there, and then establish a base area. I think we should use this opportunity to get in touch with the organization in order to get instructions. I plan to ask Luo Changleg to make a trip, but... I don’t know when I will be able to contact In fact, after all, we are not familiar with the place in the north. So our special committee can't do nothing during this period. My idea is that we still have to find a way to control the troops. They can pretend to be the Red Army to revolt. A fake Red Army turned into a real Red Army! What do you think?"

"Okay! That's it!" Su Yu slapped the table heavily, and laughed loudly: "We will let these rightists shoot themselves in the foot! Who let them take the name of our Red Army?"
