Chapter 731 Severe situation and counterattack
"The Germans are so arrogant! I really think that they are the most powerful in the world and can call anyone around, hehe, stupid!"
Zhu Bin sneered and threw the copy of the document submitted by the German aside. His annoyance was beyond words. More than that, he was extremely disappointed with this partner who had been with eight years.
Just three days after Hitler's order was issued, the German government publicly announced that it had expressed dissatisfaction with China's unauthorized attacks on its axis allies, demanding that the Republic of China government immediately stop all military operations, accept mediation from various countries, and start peace talks as soon as possible.
Although his tone was not tough enough, the Germans also hoped that China would provide the most needed resources such as tungsten, antimony ore and bristle soybeans. However, Hitler's arrogantness was not concealed at all, which made the central government, which had received the request for mediation between Britain and France, feel Alexander.
This was not enough. Immediately afterwards, several countries including Italy, the Soviet Union and Russia also joined the ranks. No matter which camp they belonged to, they all agreed to favor Japan with this attitude. The rapid change of wind direction caught Chiang and others off guard.
The faction led by Wang Jingwei, who has always opposed the war, took the opportunity to criticize and denounced Mr. Jiang for regarding China and Japan for having thousands of years of friendly exchanges, disregarding the friendship of a river, and brazenly launching a war, which has brought 500 million people of the two countries into the bottomless abyss, and destroying the bright future of Asian integration. If he is a sinner of the Chinese nation, he will be cursed forever...
Anyway, he had already broken up, so Mr. Wang naturally did not hesitate to do more thoroughly. If he could use the hands of the great powers to carry Jiang Jiang down and take him to the stage, he would easily get the fruitful fruits he had. He felt that with his status as the elite of Wang Zhaoming, the party and the successor of the prime minister, it would not be difficult to reach the peak again and make a great cause!
Even Soong Mei-ling learned through American friends that a huge force is urging the government to try to interfere with the Sino-Japanese War, and President Roosevelt seems very interested in taking advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie and express his dissatisfaction with China's destruction of stability and peace in the Pacific region on some private occasions, hoping that the situation can return to before the war and the two sides will negotiate friendly.
Chiang Kai-shek immediately became hard, and he couldn't handle a single British. Now that the great powers gathered together, even declared war, both sides held the same attitude, which was simply a re-exercise of the Eight-Nation Alliance invading China, and they could not hold it directly!
However, this time he was not stupid and passed the pressure on Zhu Bin without hesitation. He even publicly stated that the overall situation of the external offensive operations was the priority. Zhu Bin was not only the deputy chief of staff of the base camp, but also the actual commander-in-chief of the navy and the deputy commander-in-chief of the First War Zone. No matter where the battle was fought, his subordinates would destroy the city and the village. It would be fine if he didn't express his opinion in this matter!
He is worthy of being an old fox in political struggles. He is extremely skillful in shirking responsibility. He can bend and stretch, and he can easily push the brilliant crown, which further shows that his broad mind is so broad that he can kill a few birds with one stone!
So there were copies of the submissions from various countries received by Zhu Bin, one by one, which looked light but was enough to crush the backbone of most people in the world!
Fortunately, Zhu Bin can resist! Originally, his eyes were staring at the whole world, and now it is just a preview of real swords and guns fighting one day in the future.
Germany is the most rude to the announcements of various countries, so Zhu Bin naturally regarded them as typical. In today's world, only they are the most popular in the limelight, and they will soon kill another big country, Poland. The rise of the Third Reich is unstoppable, and the top of the world will be occupied by the Aryans. It is inevitable that they will be proud and proud.
But, there is an old Chinese saying, beware of the extreme joy that leads to sadness!
It was obvious that Hitler made a big mistake. He misjudged Zhu Bin's level of patience, and he did not realize that he had been trying to prove that the Aryans were descendants of God. He had already formed a good friendship with an alien by chance, but he lost it easily under a moment of arrogance, and instead formed a lot of hatred!
Well, Zhu Bin is not a broad-minded person. In essence, he is still a space trash guy. It is not so easy to turn from a silly into a noble within a few years. It takes at least three generations. As the first generation of entrepreneurship, he has made a fortune and made a fortune early!
After throwing away the German documents, Zhu Bin didn't plan to read the remaining pile of Zhu Bin. Anyway, they all had the same tone. No matter what position they stand on, the ultimate goal was the same. I don't want Zhu Bin to beat the Japanese too badly, and it's enough to stop!
If it were someone else who had just a few years to achieve this level, he beat the world's third naval power to no avail and lost two large pieces of overseas colonies one after another. He was proud enough, and it was not impossible to stop when he saw it.
Unfortunately, Zhu Bin’s ideas were not something they could guess at all. He was even more arrogant and unreasonable, which directly touched the inferiority and self-esteem of the sensitive little person who had been hiding in his heart and was not discovered by others!
Zhu Bin is not a family of aristocratic families, but in the interstellar era, he was the lowest-level trash guy. As a small person, he was naturally sensitive because he could not withstand the impact of strong winds and waves. He barely maintained that he could have a little self-esteem in the turbulent era and could be crushed by the powerful force at any time.
This sense of insecurity and fragility is reflected in character, which means maintaining decent self-confidence, but not tolerant. Except for a very small number of people who are born like this, most of them are cultivated by reaching the peak after continuous success.
If we judge by the standards of this era, Zhu Bin is undoubtedly qualified. Unfortunately, he is a person from the interstellar era who has seen the vast starry sky. In the eyes of the interstellar business tycoons in that year, this achievement is just a drop in the bull. He fell to the ground and didn't bother to pick it up. The gap is so big that he certainly does not have any capital to be strong in his heart, so he cannot touch the achievements and ideal goals he already has, just like the mad dog with the last bone of the guardian!
How can anyone understand such a state of mind besides Serena who knows the truth?
Many of the men and cadres who heard the news did not dare to express their opinions randomly. No one knew that using their power to fight against the powers of the entire world was similar to a mantis armed chariot. But it was absolutely unwilling to stop, so they all agreed. Waiting to see Zhu Bin's decision, no matter what the result was, they were willing to accept their belief that Zhu Bin would not lead everyone into hell.
In this situation, even the scheming Cao Han was too irritated. It was okay to analyze domestic affairs, and the international power game was no longer something his head could consider.
Chiang Baili could only determine from a strategic perspective that the great powers do not have the ability to intervene in military affairs for the time being, but this refers to most traditional European powers, including Britain, France, Germany and Italy. The Soviet Union has the ability, but at this time he was sharpening his sword and preparing to slaughter Poland, and at the same time he was not ready to fight with China in full swing. He was just intimidating. The Americans would not participate in the war before they saw the determined interests. They would not stand up and fight to the desperate Chinese navy. This would not be in the interests of bankers and consortiums, and the decision-making cycle would be longer.
After a comprehensive analysis, there are risks and pressure, but it is hard to say what will happen in the end.
In short, the current situation is quite scary. Zhu Bin couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to. He threw it away and followed his established routine of doing things, and killed the master. You guys play your conspiracy and I'll fight my own battle!
Losing all the documents, he began to determine his current strength: "Our ability to mobilize funds and resources. Can we continue to support the war against Japan?"
Of course, Serena was asked. Except for her, no one could have mastered all the huge and unfathomable real data of Zhu Bin's resources, and it was even more accurate to statistics.
Serena doesn't have to read the information at all. She can report it casually: "We have 100 million high-quality industrial population as a backing. Since the war started, it has not affected normal industrial production and agricultural production. If the current scale of the war can be controlled, it can support at least three years! It is sufficient funds that can fully support the circulation of the entire wartime system, but we must be wary of countries taking the opportunity to carry out financial looting and fleeing hard currency. This is exactly what the great powers hope to see most."
The large-scale industrial and agricultural production system adopted by Zhu Bin Group, even if the war has drawn millions of reserves, has not had much impact on China, which has a population of nearly 500 million. Even under pressure, the surge in military needs has caused at least double the growth of national production overall. In theory, as long as its capital chain continues to break, major factories can afford wages and consumption is not affected, they can hold on. This is the benefit of external combat.
But what Serena said about financial looting is a big problem! The great powers used coercion and inducement to transfer funds into their banks because of fear, including hard currency such as gold and silver that no matter how many countries are, they will quickly take time out of China's economy as soon as they lose consumption and flee, and printing money alone will be useless. The national economy will collapse quickly, and then the benefits of war will be completely taken away by the great powers, and a waste of work will be done!
This time, countries may not have made such an idea. Otherwise, how could they be so enthusiastic, just to maintain the balance of things in Asia? Capitalism is always a good thing!
Zhu Bin still understood this thing and waved his hand without caring about it: "This has little impact on our control area! Looking at the whole world, the only reliable ones are the United States that have not participated in the war, and those who are a little bit smart in Europe and Japan will not touch them. So just beware of the Americans. In addition, there will be a rumor that anyone who loses the chain at this time will always be removed from our group in the future! How to choose, let them do it themselves!"
When you get rich, you follow them very closely. If you have trouble, you will run away. How can you do that in the world be so cheap? Zhu Bin didn't say that it was already considered kind to just kill the weeds.
Serena made no sense to this, and after writing it down, she said: "Our hard currency reserves are still sufficient. In addition, the offshore resource center has found two other subsea hydrothermal mining areas, and the collection of precious metals is enough to supply national demand."
This is great news! Zhu Bin's eyes lit up and he grinned excitedly: "That's great! With these submarine mines and the collection of manganese nodules and cobalt crusts, we are world-class precious metal suppliers. I don't believe it, and these countries do not need it!"
Precious metals are still a customary preservation object in this world. Although countries have separated from the gold standard, their demand for these things is endless. Whoever has more will have stronger financial resources. At the same time, this is also the guarantee that supports the operation of the group. After all, the golden and silver things are touching!
Precious metals are Zhu Bin's always fist power. He initially used this thing to penetrate the German defense line, thus creating a huge Chinese industrial system, and then encompassing China's financial and currency dominating the economy. Now, we have to take a step forward and fight against people all over the world!
The reason why he has such a powerful weapon is to talk about the advanced technological power he brought. If it were a contemporary person, if he wanted to successfully mine minerals below 2,000 meters under the sea, he had to develop at least seventy or eighty years later, let alone the quantity of billions of tons. However, he directly solved the key material problems based on extremely high technical standards, and the others would be solved easily.
Now, in addition to the semi-permanent bases formed by dozens of floating platforms in the Eastern Pacific, the self-built second-generation undersea stepper excavator "Abyss Crawler" has also been put into use. With deep-sea transport ships, you can even run to the coast of Japan to steal rich hydrothermal ore. The wealth is ten times more abundant than that of the ocean on land. It is the gold mine he can't get!
With money, you can calm people's hearts. You are never afraid of fighting. If you have the will of your powers, try driving the fleet to China's coastline? See how much stronger it can be than the combined fleet of Japan?
Zhu Bin decided to be tough. He rubbed his big hands and said decisively: "Okay, since the foreign devils are ignorant, we don't have to be polite. Didn't Hitler like to be a big shot? Okay, the first one is to cut off all rare metal trade with Germany and let WorldCom stop all transportation contracts with Germany! I think the British and French must be happy to see such a decision!"
"I'm afraid the Germans are not worried. In recent years, they have accumulated enough strategic metals. Even if they stop exporting, they will only be the central government's finances." Serena pointed out the problem without hesitation.
Zhu Bin scratched his head in annoyance. This was done by himself, from the gold ore trade to various scarce metals later. In seven or eight years, Germany became the world's number one super rich man. Otherwise, Hitler could be so proud? He is rich! He is so damn rich! Thousands of tons of gold, tens of thousands of tons of silver, and millions of tons of copper. Other precious metals piled up like mountains, or the weapons of the three armies exploded out like balloons! All factories were running at full capacity and could not complete the order!
But, you can't slap yourself in the face! Zhu Bin insisted without changing his face: "The effect is second, the key is to express our attitude! In addition, we can let him have it and also let him lose it!"
Although he was so far away from Germany, Zhu Bin wanted to go over and make trouble. The "Big-Bite Parrot" strategic aircraft could be dispatched at any time, and emptying his vaults was like playing. It was even easy to behead Hitler, just to see if it was needed or not.
As for the central government's finances, Zhu Bin didn't plan to care about it at all. They would never love it.
"What should other countries do?"
Zhu Bin rolled his eyes and thought for a while, asking: "Can our silver reserves reduce the price of silver in the world by 30%?"
Serena immediately activated the simulation system and made a quick deduction and evaluation of global financial and futures market data in real time. She nodded for a while and said: "It's absolutely fine! No matter how low it is, it's fine!"
Zhu Bin grinned coldly: "Very good! Then let Stephen and the others act and first put the US silver price to the standard of 1933! I want to see, so many state lawmakers opposed how Roosevelt passed the proposal of interference with us!"
"In addition, use gold reserves to attack the UK and release the estimated yields of our high-yield cotton, wheat, and genetically modified high-yield rice. I'll see how many of them can withstand it!"
"In addition, reduce the price of cotton-spun chemical fibers by ten percentage points, and raise the price of various high-strength alloy products and electronic products by ten points, so whether they are in a hurry!"
"Finally, the country calls for a boycott of foreign goods, and once again jointly put pressure on China to bully China, as much as the big propaganda is. I want to see who can suppress it!"
In dealing with capitalism, economic wars are better than military intervention! If it were a few years ago, Zhu Bin could not do anything. Now, the amount of gold, silver and copper in his warehouse is moldy, and the continuous supply is endless, it is simple to disrupt the world's financial market. As long as it leads to even a 10% plunge, for Western countries that have not yet passed, confidence will be immediately destroyed by shadows. Under the chain reaction, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Zhu Bin is even worse. He breaks through the most critical agricultural products and daily necessities. It doesn’t matter to the Chinese, but the great powers basically have overproduction and cannot withstand it with a slight blow. Even if they adopt trade barriers and high tariffs, they cannot guarantee domestic agricultural production. A new round of bankruptcy trends will inevitably arise!
Resisting foreign goods is just an alternative "foreign self-respect", which uses the will of all the people to fight against the pressure of the great powers. The Chinese who had just crawled out of the abyss are extremely sensitive. The aggression and suppression of the great powers will cause an uproar when a slight touch of the invasion and suppression of the great powers will cause an uproar. At that time, Zhu Bin will add fuel to the fire. The only remaining little business in the great powers in the country may go bankrupt!
But, those who have a lot of investment and assets in China still have considerable voice in various countries. I have fun watching this!
After posting all this, Zhu Bin couldn't help but hum: "You are secretly trying to dig out my corner behind your back! Do you think I can't see that little thought?"
Chapter completed!
