Chapter 658: Hollowing Out North Korea

For Western shijie, if you think it is valuable, then no matter what you do, you will not be blamed, and once you are seen as a threat, whether you have it or not, it will become a crime.

Take the Iraqi tyrant who once attacked a U.S. warship and killed 37 U.S. soldiers, only to make a hasty reparation. More than a decade later, the Americans launched the war on trumped-up charges of so-called weapons of mass destruction.

As the former mentor of the United States, the British are also the same urine, and now that the fierce war between China and Japan is raging, they suddenly jumped out to protest with great fanfare, maybe there is something unspeakable behind them!

Zhang Tinglan also thought of this possibility, and immediately frowned: "Lingge, do you think the British will help Japan and pull our hind legs?" ”

Yang Yuting frowned, and couldn't help but say: "Dashuai, I think there is a possibility, with the successive victories, the morale of the people of the whole country has been greatly boosted, I heard that some people in the academic and business circles have come forward and proposed to abolish the Gengzi indemnity, abolish the concession, and take back the customs and consular jurisdiction." These are all things that the great powers will not let go of easily, and they will inevitably engage in some means. ”

The victory of the Feng army greatly shocked China, and the state of the people of the whole country has undergone drastic changes, and the speed of national awakening is even faster than imagined. Everywhere stopped selling supplies to Japan, and the concession was naturally affected, with merchants not providing supplies to the concession, workers not cleaning, and Chinese employees resigning in large numbers.

Although these moves were aimed at the Japanese concession, other powers were also inevitably affected. Seeing that the prosperous concession has become a dead city, a ghost town, and a stinking sky, all of them frowned, and they didn't go to sweep the streets in person.

And what frightened them even more was the awakening of this national consciousness. China, unlike Japan, is a natural power. Through the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, Japan stepped onto the shijie stage and squeezed into the ranks of the great powers. However, Japan's size is too small to change the situation of Western-dominated shijie.

However, once China rises completely, the pattern of the Far East will inevitably change, and even the entire colonial system will collapse. After all, on this shijie, if a beggar gang conference is to be held, China is the natural helper!

Previously, Japan was extremely strong, and China could only ask for it, and at this time, the United States and Britain and other countries pulled the army together. Restraining Japan. However, once the strength of the Feng army was beyond their control, they would turn around and support Japan.

This balancing act, which Britain played with great skill against Germany and France on the European continent, has now been transferred to China and Japan.

Zhang Tinglan's mind spun around a few times. Seeing the key to it thoroughly, he sneered: "The British want to play balance. You have to look at your own weight first. How many liliang can they have in the Far East, tell Gu Weijun not to ignore the protests of the British, let them shout hard. ”

"Dashuai, don't be busy yet." Jiang Baili couldn't help but say something to stop him: "Even if the British can't send troops directly, they can still provide loans to the Japanese." Oil, etc., to finance the Japanese to fight a war with us, the situation of the Russo-Japanese War will be repeated, and our foundation is still too thin. A long war is not good for us, and it is not appropriate to offend the British for the time being. ”

At this time, Rong Zhen also said: "Dashuai, when we formulated our strategic goals, we only drove the Japanese shili out of the three eastern provinces, and there were no territorial claims on the Korean Peninsula. The present situation is very favorable to us, but I do not think that the strategic objectives have yet been revised, so it is better to take this opportunity to let the British mediate and achieve peace talks between us and Japan. ”

After Rong Zhen expressed his opinion, Yang Yuting and Jiang Baili also nodded one after another, agreeing with his point of view. Zhang Tinglan also weighed it again and again, the more favorable the situation, the more calm it must be.

"Well, it is possible to contact Britain, and it is not impossible to negotiate with Japan, but I am afraid that the Japanese are unwilling to come to the judgment table."

"Then fight until they want to." Jiang Baili also said with a smile: "Marshal, now the three corps are already in Pyongyang, so I propose to merge into the Korean Front, concentrate Liliang, and eliminate one or two more divisions, so that the Japanese will not be able to talk." ”

Zhang Tinglan also nodded in agreement, but he remembered another question: "Since we have the intention to negotiate, then we should not be polite, all the valuable things in North Korea will be looted back for me, even if they have to be handed over to the Japanese in the future, they will not get a single screw." ”

As mentioned earlier, the northern part of Korea is rich in resources, and Japan has invested a lot of money to build a large number of mines, as well as supporting metallurgy, power generation, steel and other factories. These factories and mines are not large-scale, jishu is not advanced, and many of the equipment is obsolete in Japan.

But for the hungry Feng army, it is still an astonishing wealth, even if the three eastern provinces are not used, Inner and Outer Mongolia, as well as the northwest, are in urgent need of a large number of machinery and equipment for development, conservative estimates, the total of various factories and equipment in the north of North Korea, there are more than five or six billion yuan, except for those that cannot be moved, at least three or four billion yuan of equipment can be obtained, enough to establish a corresponding industrial base in one or two provinces.

And there is one more thing in the north of North Korea that firmly attracts Zhang Tinglan's attention, that is, uranium mines!

As a traverser, no one will be unclear about the issue of the atomic bomb, as long as this kind of mass killing weapon is developed first, China can be invincible, it can be said that this is a country's hole card. In fact, it was enough to develop nuclear weapons around World War II, but the foundation of the Feng army was weak, and it was impossible to build Manhattan at any cost like the Americans, so it was necessary to fly first and make all kinds of preparations in advance.

Zhang Tinglan has also been deliberately planning for a long time, and when he sent students to Germany and the United States, a group of them specialized in studying nuclear physics. With professional talents, the most important thing is to have enough raw materials.

Although China has some uranium ore, the content is less than a few parts per thousand, the mining value is very low, and most of it is metal associated ore, even in later generations, the estimated total amount is only about 100,000 tons. The Korean Peninsula, on the other hand, has a staggering amount of uranium ore, with North Korea, for example, expected to have total reserves of 26 million tonnes and more than 4 million tonnes to be mined.

And that's just North Korea, which also has a large amount of uranium, some claim to be up to 100 million tons, but they can't exploit it due to international environmental restrictions.

Sometimes, it is true that people are more angry than people, and the Chinese ancestors occupied the most natural conditions of a place, allowing Chinese civilization to continue in the agricultural era, but in the industrial age, many resources on our land are extremely scarce, and this scarcity is also very fatal.

Now that the army has entered North Korea, Zhang Tinglan will not let go of this opportunity and seize the time to get a batch of uranium ore from North Korea and store it for early research and even to build an atomic bomb. When the strength is sufficient in the future, it will swallow the Korean Peninsula and make up for China's resource gap.

After Zhang Tinglan's order was issued, of course, Fengjun resolutely carried it out, and these people were all veterans of this kind of thing. You're welcome this time. Starting from Pyongyang, the most industrialized area in the control area, all the factories were demolished and all the machinery and equipment were brought back by rail.

Although these railways are relatively busy, they are also one-way, mainly transporting supplies to North Korea, and when they return, they are basically empty, and most of them are wounded. The transport machine is naturally not a problem, and every train is full of Deng, as long as it is of some use, even a wrench, a screw is not spared, and it is completely swept away.

And it's not just the machines, those workers are also controlled by the Feng army, the workers are divided into two kinds, most of them are local to North Korea, the Feng army carefully investigates, as long as the North Koreans have professional skills, they will not let go, not only the workers, but even the family members are transported back to the three eastern provinces.

Of course, among the Koreans, the number of Jishu personnel is not large, the most important ones are Japanese Jishu personnel, and for these Japanese, the Feng army completely adopts simple and crude methods.

Everyone was arrested, if there was a family in North Korea, it would be easy to do, Feng Jun locked his family with him, if he was obedient and willing to cooperate with Feng Jun, the whole family could go to the Northeast together, if he didn't want to, he would kill his family one by one in front of him.

In the face of this threat, almost no Japanese can carry it, they can only obediently go to the Northeast, of course, there are still many single Japanese, there is no way, Feng Jun can only be examined one by one, as long as he asks three times, those who are unwilling to answer, all of them are directly beheaded, without hesitation at all.

Even if you can't use these Japanese Jishu personnel, you can't leave it to Japan anymore. The bloody heads hung out, and the deterrent power was really amazing, and these Japanese laborers all honestly obeyed the arrangement.

As enemies of life and death, it is a very risky thing for China and Japan to use Japanese workers, but who called Fengjun such a big gap now! Whatever resources can be utilized, nothing can be wasted.

However, Zhang Tinglan also made a special explanation, these Japanese were all sent to the northwest, Outer Mongolia and other places, which are far away from Japan and are the forefront of the confrontation between China and Russia.

This kind of large-scale captivity of the population seems to be a bit barbaric, and the Feng army only declared that these people were loyal to the Japanese Empire, and all of them were martyred by disembowelment, and they also built a grave for them in a decent way.

This looting operation lasted until the withdrawal of the Bong army from the Korean Peninsula, and a total of various equipment was seized at a discount of about 350 million yuan, and 170 million yuan in cash was obtained from various banks and financial institutions, in addition to a large amount of coal and iron ore, of course, including thousands of tons of uranium ore, the early nuclear shiyan of the Bong army, and the first two atomic bombs, all relying on this batch of ore.

In addition to these things, there are more than 3,000 professionals, and it is on these that Fengjun has created a second industrial center in the northwest! (To be continued......)
