Chapter 115 Economic Warfare: A Deadly Move Against the Japanese

"It's really not you?"

Holding the phone in her hand, Sheng Aiyi frowned deeply.

She felt she knew the guy on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Xiaolin and Huang Jinyong only threatened him and did not cause any real harm, so he eliminated them without hesitation.

There are already reports that the ambush he was ambushed a few days ago was carried out by the Japanese.

Although he couldn't harm the guy in the slightest, given his temperament, he wouldn't give up so easily.

Now, right next to Hongkou, where Japanese people gather, such a big thing has happened.

She didn't believe it was just a coincidence.

“My seventh young lady, I know in my heart what I can and cannot do.”

Lin Yi continued to deny it on the phone.

But that seemingly unintentional "My Seventh Miss" made Sheng Aiyi blush.

"If you do this, I can just pack up and leave."

"However, if we give them a handle to use against us, given the character of the Japanese, they will certainly use this incident to start a war, indiscriminately retaliate, and affect innocent civilians."

"Wouldn't I be condemned by everyone then?"

In the Ando Company office at Pier No. 3, Lin Yi explained his reasons for not taking action over the phone.

This is the main reason why we hired Koreans to do this.

What he is doing now is all about how to rapidly develop his own industry, and he is pushing forward step by step.

But looking at it from a higher perspective, while he was creating wealth for himself, wasn't he also creating wealth for society?

The economy and society are interconnected.

Especially someone like him, a truly good person who rejects the plunder of wealth and leads everyone to prosperity.

He earns one dollar, and the value of the means of production in society might increase by ten dollars.

As social wealth grows, government tax revenue naturally increases accordingly.

Given the current semi-divided state of China, as long as money is available, whether it is Chiang Kai-shek or someone else, the first thing they will do is to increase investment in military equipment.

Therefore, the ultimate result of his wealth accumulation was the growth of China's military strength.

This point will not be deviated from simply because he is going against certain people.

This was also something Lin Yile noticed.

He is indeed a businessman.

But before being a businessman, he is first and foremost a Chinese.

Because of some things I did, I was able to change the course of that war of national survival, where every inch of land was fought with blood. This is something that would make my ancestors' graves blush with good fortune.

What Lin Yi really wanted was to use economic means to crush the "chicken" (a derogatory term for the Chinese people) before the war even broke out.

He felt he had a chance.

The industrial alkali tricked the other party, but it was merely scratching the surface.

However, if China's large-scale textile exports are successfully implemented, the textile exports, which are the main source of foreign exchange earnings for China, will be severely damaged, which would be a direct blow to the other side.

As long as the subsequent killing blows are delivered one after another, the chances of slicing down the chicken in the basin are very high.

Whether it's the strengthening of the country's military power or his taking to the battlefield to chop down a chicken in a basin.

These things all need time to settle and mature.

The longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for the country and for him.

So unless he's out of his mind, he wouldn't just throw himself into battle and offer up an excuse to send troops to the chickens just out of a moment of anger.

Now that this matter was handled by the Koreans, the Japanese, who suffered heavy casualties, could only vent their anger on the Koreans.

When the time comes, the Japanese will retaliate against the Koreans, and the Koreans will retaliate against the Japanese... In such a grand drama, he, as a Chinese, will not only secretly provide ammunition.

The rest is just watching the show with your arms crossed... Seriously speaking, this is also a deadly move!

"Really?"

"Seventh Miss, how about we hang up at the same time?"

I'm tired of explaining; women are just a hassle.

"It better be true."

"But be careful during this time. Before the real culprit is found, the Japanese will most likely suspect you."

"Don't worry, Pier No. 3 is under martial law. I can't get out, and no one else can get in."

As he spoke, Lin Yi glanced downstairs again.

Judging by appearance alone, these Indian auxiliary troops are quite intimidating...

Martial law remains in effect, and new information continues to spread.

By evening, the news that the series of explosions in Hongkou were orchestrated by Koreans had spread like wildfire.

The number of dead and injured at the Hongkou Dojo, as well as the identities of some of them, began to circulate in small circles.

The vice admiral commander of the Third Fleet was killed on the spot.

The major general commander of the Shanghai-based special marine corps was killed on the spot.

Toyobo Chairman Namihei Abe died despite all efforts to save him.

Shan Touman, the leader of the Black Dragon Society, is missing a leg and blind in one eye, and is still in critical condition.

Three officers were killed instantly in the explosion, and four others were seriously injured and hospitalized.

As for the other unknown minor figures represented by the word "etc.", more than a dozen of them also died.

This was the deadliest of a series of explosions.

As for the other dozen or so incidents, although they resulted in more than a hundred deaths and injuries, there were no noteworthy figures involved.

Upon receiving this news, Dai Yunong, who had rushed to Shanghai, breathed a long sigh of relief.

He sat on the sofa for a while before standing up.

He instructed his subordinates, "Immediately report these good news items to the Military Commission and present them to the Chairman."

"We also arranged for people to spread this information, with the emphasis on publicizing that the bombing was carried out by Koreans."

"Yes."

The subordinate acknowledged, and seeing that Dai Yunong had no further instructions, turned and hurriedly left.

Dai Yunong was left alone in the room.

He strolled around twice with his hands behind his back, a smile appearing on his lips.

Explosions are relatively common.

But this was the first time he had ever encountered such a large-scale chain of explosions.

The entire city of Shanghai is now in a state of panic, and the Japanese in the Hongkou area are especially fearful.

This clearly shows that the impact of this incident was far more than just the deaths of a few important figures.

The deeper impact is the fear it brings to the living.

For the next period of time, not to mention the Japanese in Hongkou, they were unable to resume their normal activities.

I fear that other places where Japanese people gather will also be filled with trepidation.

Those who run manufacturing businesses feel uneasy, and those who engage in commerce feel equally uneasy.

If this situation continues, the losses will be enormous.

If similar explosions were to occur again, the resulting losses would be incalculable.

So the Koreans made a huge profit with just a few bombs!

It's unclear whether they can see the significance of this and continue to use this method to create panic.

Should I give them a push?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Dai Yunong shook her head.

The risk is too great.

Once his role as the mastermind behind everything is exposed, not only will the Japanese not let him off the hook, but the principal will probably be the first to kill him, using his head to appease the Japanese anger.

Thinking about it, he muttered to himself with a hint of anticipation, "I hope the genius who planned this can see this."
