PFC Chapter 346 Fund Gap
Chapter 346 Fund Gap
Governor Lampard thought for a moment and said:
"It seems that the Ye family has a far-reaching plan, and they also see that the Japanese Empire will definitely fail and surrender."
Ye Xiaoyang nodded and said:
"There's an old Chinese saying that evil cannot defeat good, and the Japanese Empire launched a war of aggression.
The global anti-fascist alliance is on the side of justice and is destined to achieve ultimate success."
"Mr. Ye, since the Ye family had laid out their plans for Hong Kong over a year in advance, do you know who wiped out the Japanese Empire's army in Hong Kong overnight?"
Governor Lampard still wanted to test Ye Xiaoyang.
How could Ye Xiaoyang not hear it? He answered without hesitation:
"It's a mysterious team from China. They came to Xiangjiang Island specifically to annihilate the Japanese Empire soldiers here.
I heard that if there were not 100,000 Japanese soldiers killed by the mysterious group, there must be at least 60,000 or 70,000, right?"
This result was within Lampard's expectations, and he didn't know the second half of what Ye Xiaoyang said.
"There are so many, but the media hasn't reported this much? How did Mr. Ye know about this?"
Ye Xiaoyang looked directly at Lampard and said:
"The Ye family happens to know the leader of the mysterious team, and he told me this himself."
After saying that, Ye Xiaoyang smiled at Lampard.
As he had guessed, the Ye family probably secretly provided a lot of financial support to the mysterious team.
It is said that the weapons of the mysterious team are all the most advanced equipment of the U.S. Army and are not exported at all.
This alone shows that the San Francisco Ye family has a special relationship with the U.S. military.
This seems to make sense given the Ye family’s current wealth.
"Did the mysterious team leader express his views or expectations on Hong Kong?"
Lampard asked the question in his mind, and now he was sure that Ye Xiaoyang was here to deliver a message.
Ye Xiaoyang nodded and said slowly:
"He hopes that Xiangjiang Island will be a paradise and that the people here can live and work in peace and contentment.
I also hope that Hong Kong Island will become an international trade center."
Lampard didn't believe a word Ye Xiaoyang said.
This is not the tone of a military leader, but more like the tone of a businessman.
I'm afraid this is what his Ye family is thinking. It seems to be warning him that he must develop the economy well in Xiangjiang Island in the future.
Lampard certainly agreed that the economy should be developed well. A prosperous Hong Kong is always better than a backward Hong Kong.
With a big money sponsor like the Ye family, the companies that moved here would definitely need a large number of supporting parts manufacturers.
He doesn't even have to worry about Hong Kong's public security. With a mysterious team backing him up, Hong Kong's gangs can't cause any trouble.
The two ended their conversation in a friendly atmosphere.
For Ye Xiaoyang, he had said everything he needed to say and his attitude had been revealed.
He does not shy away from knowing the people behind him, and even if he doesn't say it, many smart people would guess so.
After sending Ye Xiaoyang to the door, Lampard returned to his seat and opened the gift box that Ye Xiaoyang had given him.
He didn't expect that there were ten large gold bars inside, and there were also US dollars in the box.
The Ye family is very particular about their work and they are so generous that they gave such a huge gift for the first meeting.
Seeing the gold bars and US dollars in front of him, Lampard understood Ye Xiaoyang's intention.
During his term of office, as long as he does not cause trouble, he will not lose any of the benefits that belong to him as the governor.
If he wants to do whatever he wants and act tyrannically on Xiangjiang Island, the mysterious team may quietly take his life.
China's mysterious team has this ability.
The Ye family transferred so many industries to Hong Kong, and they must have received promises of security from the mysterious team.
At this moment, Lampard had a clearer understanding in his mind and he understood his future path.
Looking at the gold and US dollars in the gift box again, he admired the Ye family of San Francisco in his heart for their excellent work.
He has a strong background, speaks sincerely without any aggressive tone, and is so generous.
He didn't say anything, but expressed what he wanted to say clearly. This shows whether he is a good person or not.
The best place to be in Hong Kong.
On the other side of Luohu, on the Chinese mainland, the deep blue government and the communist party organization are doing their utmost to seize territory.
During this period, the two parties accepted the surrender of the Japanese devils in some of their respective areas.
There is also a part of the public area where both parties want to accept the surrender of the Japanese devils, and no one wants to be left behind.
The focus of the dispute between the two sides was the three northeastern provinces, where the Japanese devils had been operating for fourteen years.
Since they forcibly occupied the three northeastern provinces in the autumn of 1931, they have invested heavily in heavy industry in this land.
Such as steel mills, machine tool factories, arsenals, etc.
Both the Deep Blue Party and the Communist Party organizations understand that whoever occupies the three northeastern provinces will have strong industrial support.
For the Communist Party organization with backward weapons and equipment, taking over the three northeastern provinces was imperative.
The weapons and equipment produced by the Japanese are not as good as those of the German Empire and the United States in quality, but they are much better than the Hanyang-made ones.
Even with the tattered Hanyang-made rifles, the armed forces organized by the Communist Party could not afford to have one gun for every soldier.
In terms of the number of regular troops, the army organized by the Communist Party is much smaller than the army of the Deep Blue Government.
In terms of weapons and equipment, it lags behind the Deep Blue government army.
Just comparing their strength on paper, the Deep Blue government army and the Communist Party-organized army are not at the same level at all.
Compared with the deep blue government, the Communist Party has obvious advantages in two aspects.
First, in terms of intelligence gathering, the members of the Communist Party organization are much more capable than the Special Service Bureau and the Party Communications Bureau.
Second, the Communist Party organizations represent the interests of the vast majority of poor people, and their purpose is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
They have a huge militia, which may be ten or even a hundred times larger than the Deep Blue government's army.
With just a little training, these many militiamen can become regular troops, and the Communist Party organization has no shortage of military cadres.
As long as the Communist Party organization has sufficient weapons and equipment, it will of course also need a large amount of bullets, artillery shells, etc.
Ye Minghao of the Ye family is now holding a summary meeting with the core members of the new independent brigade.
After the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he received a telegram from his third brother.
His third brother asked him to find an opportunity to kill more Japanese devils, because if the Japanese Empire declared surrender, there would be no chance.
After all, the New Independent Brigade is a team organized by the Communist Party and must abide by the Geneva Convention.
The Japanese devils must not be killed after they surrender. If they must be killed, they must be killed before the surrender is announced.
The army of the Nanjing Light Green Government could still fight to the death even after the Japanese surrendered.
Killing Chinese traitors does not constitute a violation of the Geneva Convention.
Ye Minghao understood what his third brother meant. He knew that things should be done according to their priorities, and killing the Japanese devils was the most urgent.
During these days, the new independent brigade was divided into nine battalions, which carried out operations in several areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
Today's summary meeting is because the Japanese devils have surrendered and they can no longer massacre people at will.
There is a saying in China since ancient times that it is unlucky to kill surrendered soldiers. They are an army organized by the Communist Party, and this will be announced sooner or later.
Ye Minghao spoke first:
"Thank you all for your hard work during this period."
"Brigade Commander, it's not hard for the brothers."
"Based on the data reported by each battalion, I will read out the battle record of the new independent brigade.
During these twenty days, our new independent brigade eliminated a total of 10,000 Japanese soldiers who approached the enemy.
This achievement was achieved under the circumstances of the Japanese devils' full retreat, which is not easy.
In addition, based on the casualty figures you reported, I feel very sad. It was due to my own stubborn behavior.
More than 600 of our brothers were killed, and another 600 suffered injuries to their arms and legs."
Ding Sanwa continued:
"Commander, I think the brothers who died or were injured will not blame you.
On the contrary, we brothers are grateful to you. If it weren't for your request, we wouldn't have killed so many Japanese devils.
Now that the Japanese have surrendered, we have no chance to kill them even if we want to.
Brothers, don’t you agree?
Liang Jiahe continued:
"Old Ding is right. I think the brothers who died will not blame you, Brigade Commander.
Letting the Japanese devils return safely is the sorrow of us Chinese men.
The lives of more than 600 brothers were exchanged for the lives of many Japanese soldiers. This deal was worth it."
Ye Minghao shook his hand with tears in his eyes.
"In my heart, the lives of 100 or 1000 Japanese soldiers are not as valuable as the lives of our brothers in the Independent Brigade."
The core members of the new independent brigade who attended the meeting were infected by Ye Minghao's emotions, and many of them were wiping away tears.
At this time, Wang Dafu said:
"Thank you, Commander. The brothers who sacrificed their lives in the New Independent Brigade are watching over us from heaven.
I think they won't blame you, Commander, or our new independent brigade. They'll feel incredibly proud."
Ye Minghao waved his hand and said:
“Lao Ding, Lao Liang, and Lao Wang, the three of you must pay the pensions for our fallen brothers to their parents.
For the injured brothers who could not participate in the war, they were arranged to be sent to the Fushe revolutionary base.
The relevant expenses must also be sent over. The base is poor, and the new independent brigade cannot cause trouble to the base."
Wang Dafu said:
"Commander, I have some money..."
He really couldn't say it. The amount of pension needed this time was too large, and the money in the New Independent Brigade was not enough.
Ye Minghao quickly asked:
"Lao Wang, is there not enough money?"
"Commander, I..."
"How much is the gap? Judging from your appearance, it must be quite a number!"
"Calculated in dollars, including the resettlement of the injured brothers, it will probably cost another 300 million dollars.
Converted into US dollars, it would cost 125 million, which is too much!
Wang Dafu meant that the standards set by Brigade Commander Ye in the past were too high, but he was not in a position to say it out loud.
