Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Joint cruises are impossible, but reviving the frozen Sino-Japanese relations is what Japan particularly wants to see.  Many Japanese officers who are still fantasizing about mainland China feel that this is a good opportunity to infiltrate China. Even Nagata Tetsuzan feels that if Sino-Japanese relations are normalized, it will greatly boost Japanese exports and allow Japan to quickly recover from the earthquake and rebuild.

    Although everyone is skeptical about Yang Qiu's overtures, it is worth trying as long as there is a chance for Japan, which is broken.  What's more, the Japanese Navy is working hard to raise 200 million yen to renovate 6 battlecruisers. It cannot ignore this big pie. Even if it is poisonous, it must be eaten first to solve the urgent need.  Finally, when Zheng Zuyi said that he was just a soldier and did not interfere in politics, the Japanese government immediately informed the representatives of the Democratic Party who had been sitting on the bench in Tokyo to inform Japan of its support for the Chinese Navy's operations to protect overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia.

    This result greatly encouraged the Democratic Party, which was undertaking foreign affairs work for the first time. Hu Hanmin even rushed to the Governor's Palace in Batavia overnight to demand that the British and Dutch withdraw their troops, compensate the Chinese for their losses, and grant autonomy to the Chinese in West Borneo.

    The UK has not yet replied, and the Netherlands will not agree, so it flatly rejects the request for autonomy.  Because Batavia knows that once this hole is opened, it will probably bring about terrible chain reactions!

    While the confrontation and mediation were in full swing outside West Borneo, East India itself was also undergoing quiet changes.

    Makassar, Free Port in Southern Sulawesi.  At the beginning of the 16th century, it was the largest trade center in the entire East Indies and the largest city on the Southeast Asian islands. However, after the Dutch victory in competition, they gradually took control of the East Indies.  The economic center began to shift to Batavia, and its status began to decline.

    With the discovery of the Minas super oil field by China Gulf Oil Company and continued exploration in nearby areas, East India has become popular again in the past two years.  In addition to traditional countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, France and the Netherlands, China and Japan have also begun to intensify resource exploration in the Southeast Asia. Even Portugal has sent an oil exploration team to dream of developing a world-class oil field in East Timor under its control.

    With more people, there will naturally be more conflicts.  The West Borneo crisis is just a minor intensification of the conflict.

    Due to the confrontation between the Chinese Navy and the British Far East Fleet in Borneo and the South China Sea, scenes of warships from both sides catching and chasing each other have been seen in Batavia and the Strait of Malacca. Therefore, many ships came to Makassar, east of Borneo, to rest temporarily.  In order to avoid damaging the fish pond, businessmen from various countries poured in in large numbers, causing the place to be extremely prosperous.

    After Dai Yunong got off the boat.  I immediately felt like I was back in the Shanghai of my childhood.  There are low-rise shabby houses without any sanitary facilities everywhere, and in the contiguous slums, children are naked and rolling in the mud.  Under the dense trees, on the street corners, and in the shop corridors with Japanese signboards, there are Japanese prostitutes dressed in kimonos everywhere.  Zhuang Meisheng, who had gotten along well with him during this period, saw this and pushed his shoulders affectionately: "Yunong hasn't tasted Japanese women yet, has he? Even though these Japanese women don't look very good, they are quite sexy in bed.  sharp."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Dai Yunong was no exception, but no matter how much he thought about women, he could not look down on these Japanese prostitutes, he just felt strange: "Brother Zhuang, why are there so many Japanese women here?"

    "More? Haha" Zhuang Meisheng laughed loudly: "My Yunong brother. This is still a small amount! There are much more in Batavia and Luzon than here. To say that this is also the vice president  Since Japan was defeated by us, there has been a severe shortage of money in the country, so more women have been sent here to work as prostitutes. I heard from the brothers below that, combined in all parts of this sea, there are two if not three million.  Millions of Japanese whores." He pointed at a ronin in the distance who was collecting money from prostitutes, and said disdainfully: "Did you see that? These are all former Black Dragon Society. They came here after being driven out of the Northeast to take women away.  Not only did he treat me like a bitch, but he also confiscated the money and said that he wanted to support the country. Bah! A samurai who has the shame to claim to be the emperor actually uses money from a woman¡¯s crotch. He deserves to be the emperor of theirs for being a fool."

    We know that Japan has been sending women to all over the world since the Meiji period. In the early years, there were many Japanese prostitutes in Tohoku and Shanghai, but I didn¡¯t expect there to be so many!  Out of professional habit, he asked, "Brother Zhuang, does he know how much money they send back every year?"

    "You have to ask the Japanese government for details." Zhuang Meisheng shook his head, picked up his fingers and estimated: "I will give you a rough calculation. I heard from the brothers below that these Japanese prostitutes have to pick up customers at least 10 times a day, and they can earn about 20 yuan a month.  Yuan, which is 160 Yuan in 8 months per year. There are at least one million Japanese prostitutes in Nanyang area now, which is 160 million Yuan every year. Excluding expenses and what they take by themselves, at least half of them must be taken away and mailed to these prostitutes.  Returning to China, it would only be 80 million yuan per year.¡±

    It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t know, it¡¯s just that I¡¯m shocked!  Dai Yunong was also shocked by such a huge number. He didn't expect that selling prostitutes was such a big business!  Moreover, Zhuang Meisheng is still very conservative, because foreign sailors are very generous., and maybe two or three more Chengdu.

    Dai Yunong was very curious. People in Haihua Company were born in gangs in their early years. How could they not expect to get a share of this "big business"?  Zhuang Meisheng shook his head and sighed: "Since Yunong calls me eldest brother, I won't hide it from you. It's a lie to say that you don't want to make money in such a big business, but this kind of money is so hot that it's hard to make money! Nowadays, most of the people in the country have land.  For the most part, there were very few cases of buying and selling children in the early years. Whose women would do this if they had food and drink to eat? If you want to talk about other methods I don¡¯t dare to do it now! Last year alone, there were thousands of people across the country  The kidnapper (the one who kidnapped women and children) was shot! Last time, someone in Luzon took a boat girl from Xiamen. Guess what happened in the end? He was blocked directly at sea by the murderous gang of Coast Guards who used machine guns to sweep the deck. He died.  Thirty brothers!"

    The country has been very aggressive in cracking down on crime in recent years. Thousands of felons are shot every year.  It is said that this was a strict request from the Vice President. He felt that felons must be treated harshly in order to serve as a warning to others and establish a good social atmosphere. Moreover, abducting women and children is one of the serious crimes that must be shot as long as they are convicted.

    But I didn¡¯t let you have any domestic plans!  Dai Yunong glanced at him: "Brother Zhuang has many connections, why can't he go the Japanese way and get some women?"

    Zhuang Meisheng continued to shake his head: "Yunong said it lightly. This financial road is the life and death line of Japan. They will not sell women to us for business. In addition, they have many women, so the price is very low. If we interfere lightly, we will be lowered.  The price is so tight, the most important thing is to start fighting from below. Brothers are not afraid of starting a fight, but in the past few years, everyone has become accustomed to living a peaceful life, and there is no intention to make money from these sideways. "

    Dai Yunong was still thinking about the "big deal" when he suddenly remembered that there were many Russian refugees in the northwest.  He lowered his voice: "Brother Zhuang, what if I have the supply?"

    "I said, Brother Dai, you have a great future, why do you take risks for a small amount of money? Anyway, people come here from time to time. The president's wife also wants to have face, so she doesn't dare to mess around."

    Dai Yunong knew that he had misunderstood and said with a smile: "What did Brother Zhuang say? No matter how stupid Dai is, he will not take advantage of his sisters. There are many Russian refugees in the northwest. It can still be done with thousands of Russian women.  . Besides, this is also a good thing to attack Japan." Zhuang Meisheng became excited when he heard that they were Russian refugees from outside the northwest.  If we really get a batch of horses from the ocean, wouldn't it not only hit Japan but also make money?  But he still cautiously told Dai Yunong to report to his superiors to avoid getting into trouble.

    "We'll talk about it later, let's get down to business first." Dai Yunong is not a person who doesn't know the importance of things, so I put the matter aside and took Zhuang Meisheng to the warehouse area next to the harbor.

    There are many Chinese businessmen in Makassar, most of them in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they are all attracted by ebony.  Black sandalwood is expensive in the country.  It is especially popular in the Jiangnan area, so half of the ebony produced here every year is snatched away by businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

    The two soon found a two-story building with the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce sign. The boy on the first floor thought he was a big buyer from China, so he came up to greet him with a smile on his face, until Dai Yunong made a gesture.  .  Then he suddenly realized and welcomed the two people to the second floor.

    Going up to the second floor, Zhuang Meisheng saw several men who were drinking tea and chatting. Although one of them was short in height, he had a square face and thick eyebrows. Most of the people next to him were in plain clothes, but one man was strange. He was actually wearing Muslim clothes.

    "Come. Let me introduce you." Seeing the square-faced man, Dai Yunong quickly pulled Zhuang Meisheng and introduced him: "This is Boss Ma from Gulf Oil Company, this is Manager Chen from Luzon Mining, and this is  .¡±

    Before the introduction was finished, Zhuang Meisheng¡¯s scalp exploded.  The reputation of Gulf Oil Company is so great. Just because it can receive funding from Yang Qiu and dispatch the navy to snatch food from the British and American territories, you can see how big the snobbery is behind it.  The other few are also well-known wealthy Chinese people in Nanyang, but I have never heard of the short, skinny young man named Xiao Jinyun who is wearing Islamic clothes. However, since he can sit here, he must be extraordinary.  characters.

    "sit down."

    After Ma Kui invited the two to sit down, he poured tea himself before explaining his purpose: "To make a long story short, I asked Yunong to invite Brother Zhuang to come because the pressure on Borneo is increasing day by day. The intention is to let us people immediately take over Java Island."  The poor parties and guerrillas instigated it, leaving the Dutch with no time to take care of themselves. Brother Zhuang, you have been in Nanyang for many years and are much more familiar with it than us half-tongues. You might as well talk about it."

    Zhuang Meisheng knew that Yang Qiu would not hand over the negotiating power to the Democratic Party so easily, and he indeed had a backup plan.  Immediately he said with a few words humbly: "It is not difficult to mobilize the poor party and guerrillas. These local dogs are just people who are blind to money! But what will happen after they are mobilized? It's not that I look down on those guerrillas who engage in **, even I  None of my brothers can compare with me.¡±

    Ma Kui said: "Money is not a problem, everyone and I have??Raised US$800,000 in activity funds and obtained 5,000 Soviet-made revolvers and rifles.  The key now is that the country is determined not to interfere with this matter and will clear up the relationship when the time comes, so it must all rely on us.  "

    "Does the country not care?" Zhuang Meisheng was a little surprised. Is Yang Qiu really going to let go of Nanyang's affairs?  But why are we inciting the natives to riot anyway?  He didn't dare to ask in detail, frowned and said: "I'm afraid this is a bit troublesome. Even if those local dogs start to mobilize, I'm afraid they will be suppressed in a few days."

    "Brother Zhuang, don't worry, I have some brothers." A man named Xiao Jinyun wearing Islamic clothing suddenly interrupted, and took out a photo from his pocket and placed it in front of Zhuang Meisheng: "The thing now is, I need to meet this person.  Above, and don¡¯t arouse his suspicion!¡±

    The photo showed a handsome young man. After looking at it for a long time, Zhuang Meisheng suddenly remembered someone: "Isn't this the young man named Sukarno from the Surabaya Youth Association?"

    Ma Kui chuckled: "Brother Zhuang is indeed a Nanyang expert. He even recognizes this guy."

    "Sir, don't laugh at me. I just stayed here for a few more years." Zhuang Meisheng gradually became serious while holding the photo: "This person is indeed an activist who opposed the Dutch colonial rule. At the beginning of last month, he even published an article in the newspaper saying that he was going to  The three-dimensional policy is to combine national autonomy, Islam and Marxism. It is indeed good to find him to take the lead, but Zhuang has something in his heart that he does not know whether to say or not."

    "Brother Zhuang, just say it straight."

    Zhuang Meisheng handed over to Ma Kui and others, and said: "I don't know whether Sukarno is a good person, but the religious alliance and the Java Youth Association behind him are not good things! In recent years, there have been many disasters caused by riots in order to raise funds.  We Chinese! Many things we do are even more unethical than what the Dutch do!"

    Seeing him getting angrier as he talked, Xiao Jinyun reached out and patted his shoulder: "Brother Zhuang, don't worry, we are just borrowing it."

    Zhuang Meisheng knew that he had gone too far. This kind of national affairs was not something he could worry about. He nodded quickly and returned to the topic: "Brother Xiao, don't worry. In the early years, I kicked out a few incompetent brothers who converted to Islam. Although we don't have much contact with each other.  , but you can still talk when something happens. It¡¯s justBrother Xiao, what is your identity?"

    Ma Kui knew what he was thinking and laughed: "Meisheng, don't worry, Jin Yun is now a member of the Malayan Youth Association, and as for this clothes don't worry, he is wearing it for a long time."  Putting on clothes is quite a struggle, and Commander Xiao nags the Vice President a lot about it."

    Although he didn¡¯t say it clearly, Zhuang Meisheng was shocked when Ma Kui pointed out Commander Xiao!  The person with the surname Xiao in China still holds the position of commander. Besides Xiao Anguo, who controls the National Guard for Yang Qiu and supervises the country, who else is there?  When I think of his surname as Xiao, my heart suddenly trembles!  He nodded quickly: "Don't worry, everyone, I will contact my brothers right away."

    Seeing him about to leave, Xiao Jinyun suddenly grabbed him, his eyes suddenly lit up like cold stars on his thin face: "I have something to ask Brother Zhuang. Yu Nong and other intelligence agents have been closely watched by Britain and France recently.  It¡¯s not easy to intervene, so I hope you can help kill someone for me.¡±

    "who?"

    "Dutch, Marin!".
