Before it became rich, it was not realistic for South China to have a strong navy. A world-class air force and a sufficient number of submarine forces can ensure that South China is not invaded, and in addition to the destroyer fleet (fighting piracy) that can ensure the smooth commercial shipping routes of South China, it is enough to meet the development needs of South China in the next ten years.

Situ Nan is fully capable of using his influence to sell US battleships to Nanhua, and Nanhua can buy one or two warships by gritting his teeth, and the US government is naturally willing to transfer these warships to Nanhua, the only ally of the United States in the Western Pacific, to enhance the influence of the United States in the Western Pacific.

Even if it is given away in vain, the cost of maintaining such a large ship is not something that Nanhua can do lightly. Besides, to pull back such a large surface warship, isn't it to ask the British to fight?

Faced with Situ Meiden's eager gaze, Situ Nan could only ignore it.

"It seems that we can only use the broken ships of the Dutch." Situ Meiden laughed at himself.

Nanhua has succeeded in salvaging the Dutch cruiser that sank not far from Palembang, and the repair is estimated to last ten or eight years.

"Uncle, in fact, the two Dutch ships are very good, although they are always a little old, and they have been beaten into holes by us, but this kind of goods is not painful to use!

In the year of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese did not rely on a few broken ships to defeat us. The most important thing is the naval officers and men! South China was right to send people to England to study the navy! The British are more adept at this. ”

Situ Nan nodded. It is better to spend money that can build a ship to train a warship with combat effectiveness. I don't want to have two beautiful warships with a bunch of unbearable soldiers on them!

After a month-long visit to the United States, the South China delegation's next stop was Tokyo. Most Chinese people don't like the Japanese, but some are more than willing to cooperate with the Japanese, such as the warlords in northern China, because the Japanese are more willing to contribute money and effort.

South China's relations with Japan are not friendly or hostile, but South China's attitude toward Japan is not positive except for maintaining basic diplomatic and economic exchanges.

Japan also understands that South China is wary of them, and there is no way. Who called Japan the most powerful country in the Western Pacific?

The Americans were too far away, the British could no longer expand their territory, and the only one who could do anything to South China was Japan, which was poor in resources, and South China was precisely the most resource-rich country.

Nanhua's rubber and oil simply made the Japanese angry and scolded God for being unfair, and they were very jealous of Nanhua, but they had to admit that the Japanese did a good job in terms of politeness.

When the South China delegation first arrived in San Francisco, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already sent an invitation. This is not the first one.

"This Japanese person is so welcoming! It's not that I don't go, I have to be polite on face. ”

Returning from the Francisco shipyard, Situ Meiden took the telegram and said impatiently to Situ Nan.

The phrase "common prosperity in East Asia" is similar to the common support of the yellow race, which has often appeared in telegrams from Tokyo recently. I always feel a little slippery about Japanese invitations.

"It's good to go check it out. There are many things that the Japanese can learn from, so we should be serious. When they were learning from the West. I appreciate that resolute attitude. ”

Situ Nan said with a smile. The market in Nanhua will only be opened to Japan to a limited extent, and the Japanese can only buy rubber and oil from Nanhua with money or machinery, and will absolutely not allow Japanese enterprises to engage in oil exploration and exploitation business in Nanhua.

Again, Japan is the sworn enemy of South China. We can compromise with the Americans, the British, and even the Dutch, and we must not take the Japanese lightly. It is necessary to prevent the infiltration of the Japanese into South China. They may have colluded with the Javanese natives to cause rebellion. ”

Situ Nan admonished.

In his previous life, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries treated the Japanese as liberators, and Japanese-funded companies were treated much better in Southeast Asia than Chinese-funded companies.

To be sure, Indonesia and other countries have understandably friendly relations with Japan. But after Nanhua replaced the Dutch as the ruler of the Indonesian archipelago, the hostility of the indigenous Javanese to the Dutch naturally shifted to Nanhua. And it will be even more unforgettable.

"Don't worry! Our 100,000 construction corps is not a vegetarian anymore, and more than 100,000 veterans are serving as grassroots officials in various localities. ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Situ Meideng's eyes, Situ Nan was planning behind the scenes, but it was Situ Meideng and others who implemented it in the bright spot.

The indigenous Javanese have already hated the South China government led by Stuart Meyden, but they are scattered all over the country, and the tribes and races of all sizes are fighting with each other. There is no way to deal with the increasingly powerful Chinese forces, and many minority races who are aware of current affairs have taken the initiative to become allies of the Chinese.

"The Acehnese are good, and their soldiers are obedient on the island of Java. The U.S.-Chinese company's resource development and resettlement programs in the Aceh region are also smooth. ”

Situ Meiden said with a smile, he was excited when he talked about Nanhua. With only the provision of rudimentary weapons, a small number of soldiers such as Aceh could accomplish their tasks brilliantly, greatly reducing the population pressure on the Chinese, who could engage more in industrial construction and participate in government work.

Situ Nan listened to Situ Meiden's brief description of Nanhua with great interest, and he usually paid more attention to the industrial planning of Nanhua, and naturally did not know as much about specific things as Situ Meiden.

After returning to the United States, the focus on South China will also be much less.

"By the way, what time is it today?" Situ Nan asked suddenly.

"August 20." Situ Meiden said, looking at Situ Nan a little strangely. In two days, the South China delegation will leave for Japan.

"Oh!" Situ Nan raised his head and looked at Situ Meiden with some concern, if his memory was correct, in early September, there was a great Kanto earthquake in Japan, which was said to be caused by a tsunami. What if the South Chinese delegation was hit by an earthquake just after entering the port of Tokyo?

With the loss of most of the senior officials in the South China cabinet, that history may be rewritten again.

Situ Nan frowned, not knowing how to explain to Situ Meiden.

"Is there something wrong?" Situ Meiden said with some concern. He didn't even notice it himself. What will he do if he leaves Situ Nan.

"It's okay! I happen to have something conscious, and I want you to stay a few more days to see what it really means to industrialize mass production in the United States. Situ Nan's eyes flashed and he came up with a way to retain the South China delegation.

"So mysterious? I've been to the shipyards and steel mills of the Bethlehem Company, and what could be more rare? Situ Meiden laughed.

"Of course! You only see the surface, and you have intuitive feelings. I would say that the study of production management, which has become a specialized discipline in the United States. It's popular for major companies right now. ”

Situ Nan nodded solemnly.

He is talking about the scientific management system advocated by the production management master Taylor, which simply means dividing the production line into specific processes. Each process is operated by a special person, and the workers are like a machine, constantly repeating a single and boring operation, which can greatly improve the production line rate. Ford's assembly line is an example of the successful use of the Taylor system.

In the era of great industry, Taylor permeated every factory in the world like air. If we go further on a larger scale, the planned economy that the Soviet Union will soon implement is also within the scope of the Taylor system.

For the next few days, whether you want it or not. The South Chinese delegation had to receive a lecture from Master Taylor at William University, which later became a good story.

The Chinese are scheming and shrewd in small calculations, but lack the spirit of division of labor and cooperation, and in the field of production, few can focus as the German or post-World War II Japanese.

Situ Nan organized a South China delegation to receive training from Taylor. In a certain way, it is also to strengthen the cohesion of the collective of the South China government, so that it can become a machine for division of labor and cooperation.

This is an expectation, or just a boring practice that comes up to delay their trip, and Situ Nan doesn't know how effective it is. But Mr. Taylor, a professor at William University, was excited to give a lecture to a country's cabinet.

Of course, this was done in secret, and most of the students, except for a few, did not know that a group of distinguished guests had come to the school.

After three days of secret classes at William University, Situ Nan personally led the group to inspect the planning and construction of the Long Beach Industrial Zone, where a Cummins engine production line was used as a demonstration of the Taylor system.

Watch one aircraft engine after another assemble from the assembly line. Many delegates thought about the Taylor system that the foreign devil said.

Finally, he left the United States by ship with more than 50 aircraft engines, which were shipped to South China and assembled into transport aircraft.

"What a harvest these days!" Situ Meiden smiled and waved goodbye to Los Angeles. South China Airlines, the first airline in Asia, will be born in New Tangshan, and will build a mail service covering major cities in South China.

Including the establishment of mail services in major cities such as Ben Cheng and Singapore in the Malay Peninsula, it is also in the plan of American Chinese Airlines, and it depends on whether the British measure it or not.

Also, the route from Pontianak in Borneo to Manila in the Philippines is relatively easy to implement. Americans are good at talking about this.

Thousands of Chinese in the Long Beach Industrial Zone went to the port to see them off, leaving a touching scene.

It was already August 25th when they set off from the port of Long Beach, and it is estimated that when they arrived in Tokyo, there must be an even bigger surprise.

Situ Nan breathed a sigh of relief and began to look forward to the stock market in Tokyo.

As early as two years ago, he arranged for the United States and China to invest in financial business in Tokyo, 21 years, Tokyo's economy was generally sluggish, Situ Nan secretly absorbed the shares of Mitsubishi Shipbuilding and other large companies, and there were also some shares of textile enterprises that were in trouble, and now two years have passed, although the Japanese economy is not too prosperous, but under the rescue of state funds, it has slowly recovered its vitality, at least it is much better than the half-dead Shanghai financial market after the turmoil of the letter and exchange case.

The outlook for Tokyo's stock market is also much more optimistic. Under Situ Nan's instructions, a week ago, several investment companies secretly controlled by the South China Intelligence Bureau successfully cashed out all the shares in their hands. It is now being exchanged for other currencies such as huàn gold and the US dollar in major banks in Tokyo.

The $3 million invested at the beginning of the stock market was at a low ebb turned into $4.2 million two years later, making a lot of money, and at the same time making a lot of contributions to Japan's economy in the past two years.

This is estimated to be enough for the Japanese to eat a small pot! It's just a pity to keep it secret, and I can't play it more ruthlessly with great fanfare.

Situ Nan was a little regretful, and when he saw He Xiangu coming in with a happy face, he asked, "Have you exchanged it into gold?" ”

"Our ship just departed from Tokyo and arrived in Manila three days later, so it didn't take a week to move to New Tangshan." He Xiangu replied. She is now ready to take on more challenging tasks.

"Young Master, why do you want to change to hard currency? The yen is actually quite strong in Asia. He Xiangu was a little puzzled. This business can actually make more money, if you continue to invest in Japan.

"No way! South China is issuing South Chinese dollars, and our gold mining in Sumatra can't keep up with the scale of currency issuance, so we have to draw money from Japan. ”

Situ Nan explained.

Even if Japan finds out about this, it doesn't matter, because in this operation, Situ Nan's side has no illegal means at all, and there is no conspiracy, and it is a normal business practice to complete it.

Those businessmen in Tokyo were still glad to be able to buy the shares and factories in their hands from the Nanhua people, but they didn't know that a natural disaster would befall them. All Situ Nan did was to run away in advance and sell the assets that were about to rot in his hands to the Japanese.

However, Japan suffered this catastrophe, and its foreign expansion became more intense, which also directly promoted the fascist government to come to power. That's not a good thing. Situ Nan sighed in his heart.

Every time I think of the Japanese, I can't help but think about the situation in China. Next year, the big war of Zhifeng will come again, and the anger that he has been holding back for two years can finally be released.

made a comeback, colluded with Feng Yuxiang, beat the invincible Wu Peifu to the ground, and entered the customs smoothly. After entering the customs, the Feng Department fought for many years, and was dazzled by the flowers and rivers of the Central Plains.

A few years later, the bearded Zhang folded and sank into the sand, and Zhang Shaoshuai re-entered the customs, but was copied by the Japanese.

This is normal history, but without the Kuomintang Northern Expedition, would Hu Zizhang's fate still be the same as it was?

Can the Zhi Gong Party replace the Kuomintang Northern Expedition??????? Well, it seems that history has really been muddyed by himself, Situ Nan thought about it for a long time, and felt that the local historical development was a little blurred.

However, Japan could not find oil and rubber resources in China, and sooner or later it would go south, and the United States and Britain would sooner or later be attacked by the Japanese, and the war would still be fought.

Otherwise, would the combined fleet that Japan spent decades building with all its strength to look good?

Due to geographical reasons, Nanhua can hide behind it, and wait until the British and American colonies in Nanyang are occupied by Japan before it is Nanhua's turn, and will Nanhua still be easy to mess with twenty years later?

It's really wonderful! Maybe you can put on a good show of praying mantis catching cicadas.

World War II! That was the only chance to establish the Chinese in Asia. If you lose World War II, you will lose your luck for the next 100 years!
