Chapter 641: Economy
This matter is easy to handle with Wang Mazi's nod, Zhang Chi quickly reached an agreement with King Ning and handed over the relevant matters to King Ning to deal with. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
What made Zhang Chi a little impressed was that King Ning not only wanted to do business in Japan, but also the Japanese colonies were also his goals...... For example, in the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and other places, there are anti-Japanese organizations everywhere, and they are all in urgent need of rifles, bullets and other equipment, and this part is still in the sun...... This is also in the interests of the United States, so the United States also supports this, and the supplies and equipment sold to the Japanese mainland can only be regarded as a black market.
What made Zhang Chi a little ridiculous was that it was only then that Zhang Chi found out that he had been deceived by that Yang Yuhan......
Zhang Chi saw that King Ning never mentioned the agreement, so he said with some embarrassment: "Second head of the regiment, about the marriage contract......
"Engagement? What marriage contract? King Ning looked at Zhang Chi with a confused face.
"That ......" Zhang Chi was a little confused: "Before attacking Changchun, the agreement between the envoy you sent and me ......"
"Agreements?" King Ning replied, "I didn't ask for anything......"
After thinking about it, King Ning said with some embarrassment: "Deputy Commander, this must be a joke made by the little girl who is stubborn and self-proclaimed!" ”
"Little girl?" Zhang Chi didn't understand it even more.
"The envoy I sent is a little girl!" King Ning replied: "Because she is familiar with military affairs and there are few trustworthy people around her subordinates, her subordinates can only send her to discuss the attack on Changchun with the deputy commander." Regarding the agreement, I'm afraid that the little girl is making her own opinions, and the deputy commander should not take it to heart! ”
Although King Ning said this in his mouth, his eyes were full of expectation.
Where did Zhang Chi dare to answer, and hurriedly fled with Wang Mazi, while secretly scolding that Yang Yuhan in his heart...... This little girl really doesn't know the severity, it is related to the safety of Changchun and even the entire Northeast and the expeditionary force, she actually uses it as a bargaining chip, what if she can't talk about it?!
But then Zhang Chi thought about it and felt that Yang Yuhan was actually determined that he would definitely agree, so he had no fear.
took Wang Mazi to the University of Travel to go shopping, and Wang Mazi reluctantly flew to Okinawa with Zhang Chi...... If it weren't for Wang Mazi knowing that there were a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in Okinawa at this time, he would have to go through all the northeast.
Wang Mazi really thought right, Zhang Chi had only been away for a few days, and when he came back, he found that there were a lot of documents that needed to be approved by himself, and this was still the situation after the staff officer Liang dealt with it, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to finish working overtime for a few days.
Even so, Zhang Chi focused his efforts on Okinawa management...... At this time, the first batch of grain from Rabaul had arrived, which made Zhang Chi breathe a sigh of relief, and with this grain there would be no big problem in trying to win over the people of Okinawa, and the position of Liangjian would also be consolidated, and the remaining question was how to resume production.
"What's so hard about resuming production?" Wang Mazi said at the meeting: "Our grain has arrived, and it will be shipped in batches next, and it is not a problem to maintain Okinawa for half a year or a year." In the long run, we will organize labor to farm, so that next year we will not need to transport grain from other places and not go hungry! ”
Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, and even Staff Officer Liang nodded in agreement, but only Zhang Chi was silent.
"Deputy Commander!" Seeing that Zhang Chi's face was wrong, Staff Officer Liang asked.
Zhang Chi sobered up from his contemplation and said: "Of course, it is natural to organize labor to cultivate, but this cannot solve the problem......
"Why?" Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi suspiciously.
This is not strange to everyone, at this time China is still an agricultural country, and the land is also suitable for farming, plus the participants are all soldiers, they may be experts in war, and it can be said that they do not know anything about economy and production.
"Let's put it this way!" "First of all, Okinawa is an island, and the land is barren, so there are not many places suitable for farming, and even if we encourage production, it is difficult to be self-sufficient, which I believe everyone has seen," Zhang explained. ”
The officers couldn't help nodding their heads, many of them had carefully looked at the terrain during the battle, and even had field investigations, but they used to think about how to attack and defend, but now when they recalled, they found that most of them were rocky mountains or saline-alkali land and sandy land.
"Secondly!" Zhang Chi continued: "It is predictable that the population of Okinawa will soon grow in stages, so many people ...... Okinawa alone has limited arable land that cannot be fed! ”
The population growth that Zhang Chi mentioned refers to is the stationing of troops and talents.
In fact, this "entry" has already begun...... Personnel from the Northeast and the logistics units of the expeditionary force in Rabaul are all being transported to Okinawa in batches in a planned and step-by-step manner.
"So what to do?" Wang Mazi couldn't help scolding: "This island where birds don't can't even feed people...... In this case, it is better to have Rabaul! ”
"The way is to develop industry!" Zhang Chi replied.
"Industrial?" Wang Mazi asked rhetorically: "Can industry keep people from going hungry?" ”
Zhang Chi explained with a smile: "After the development of industry, you can buy food from others!" ”
Staff Officer Liang nodded, and said uncertainly: "I think this method of the deputy commander may work, the Japanese left many factories in the northeast, such as glass, textile, food processing...... Now these factories are in our hands, which means that we have a certain foundation! ”
"It's not just about having a certain foundation!" Zhang Chi continued: "We still have fairly cheap labor...... You must know that the people of Okinawa have been hungry for several years, and as long as they can make some money, they will not refuse. On the other hand, the areas liberated from Japan, such as Burma, Australia, and the Philippines, all need to be rebuilt after the war, so they need a lot of infrastructure and related products for daily consumption. That is, what we produce can be sold...... As long as we have money, of course, we can buy what we need! ”
After a pause, Zhang Chi continued: "The other is the United States...... The United States lives well, and the labor cost is much higher than ours, which will lead to many American capitalists who are more willing to set up factories in Okinawa and obtain higher profits! This will not only increase our employment, but also give us a technological advantage! ”
What Zhang Chi said is actually Japan's development model after World War II...... After the war, the country's economy was in a state of collapse, and it was good for the people to have something to eat, but of course they did not dare to ask for high wages, so the labor cost was very low.
