Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 336 is back again (fourth update, please subscribe)

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have come to Hollywood. In order to let you better experience the enthusiasm of Hollywood, I plan to hold a grand banquet for you tomorrow. I wonder if your Majesty will appreciate it?"

Standing respectfully in front of Li Yi, Joseph Schenck, the Hollywood tycoon known as the "Emperor of MGM", warmly invited.

Facing Joseph Schenck's invitation, Li Yi'an did not immediately agree, but he could understand the meaning from the other person's eyes.

What is a banquet?

It's clearly the draft.

The upper class knows everything.

This man is also a Hollywood tycoon, and he is very generous with his money. He will directly hold a banquet and a reality show.

If we hadn't seen Victoria's Secret before, we might have really agreed. Even though it was just a video, and even though supermodels have legs, business is still important right now.

Although he was determined to take Bush and Reagan to see the world together, and they seemed to be looking forward to it, Li Yi'an, who was afraid of spoiling the children, gave up temporarily for the sake of the president-maker's plan.

Yes, only temporarily.

Next time, I’ll have a chance to come to Hollywood again.

After all, in order not to bring bad luck to the children and affect their future development prospects, Li Yi'an still did not accept Joseph Schenck's banquet invitation.

Although he refused with the excuse of needing to return to China, Li Yi'an left him a glimmer of hope, that is, he would contact him in advance next time he came to Hollywood. He even gave him a personal phone number and invited him to Nanyang at the right time. As guests, of course the two children Bush and Reagan also received invitations and private phone calls. The two of them looked completely flattered by this, and even decades later, when they were elected president, they mentioned in public more than once their deep friendship with the emperor and their relationship with the emperor in life. On the road, when they were confused, how the emperor pointed out the direction of life for them.

……

Until he left Hollywood by plane, Li Yi'an still had a smile on his face. It must be said that the experience of being a spiritual mentor always makes people feel happy. The chance encounter with Reagan was completely unexpected. Being able to become the leader of two presidents A spiritual mentor is definitely a joy in life.

However, the happy time was short-lived. After staying in Hollywood for a few days, Li Yian finally set off on his way home.

This trip to Hollywood can be considered fruitful... If it weren't for fear of affecting their future, Li Yi'an really wanted to help them, but sometimes, many things are not that simple.

Bush's young man's path is set. After graduating from Yale, he will definitely go into business first and then engage in business.

Bush is in the oil business. There will definitely be contact and business dealings between them in the future. There is no problem with that.

The difficult thing is Reagan. Why did that guy go into politics just pretending to be an actor, and become the president?

When the book is in use, I hate less!

Okay, let’s not think about it so much for now!

Soon, Li Yian put all this behind him. After all, there were more important things.

While the plane was flying over the Pacific Ocean, Li Yi'an couldn't help but mutter to himself while looking through the telegram in his hand, which only had more than a hundred words.

“I didn’t expect that there would be an unexpected harvest!”

Then he looked out the window, looking at the blue sky, white clouds and blue sea outside the window, the corners of his mouth raised, and the smile on his face grew stronger.

……

Borneo is a hot land!

Not only do tens of thousands of immigrants arrive in this hot land every day on landing ships and merchant ships, it also attracts the influx of many foreigners, not just Germans.

Another group of people also came to Borneo - the Japanese.

Among these Japanese, there were Japanese women who voluntarily came to Borneo to work by "selling themselves for rice" to support their families, and there were also those who were forced to come here - prisoners of war.

Long before Li Yi'an returned from Japan, the expeditionary force stationed in Kyushu began loading prisoners of war handed over by friendly forces onto ships and transporting them back to China.

How many people can an LST tank landing ship carry?

Just ask the Japanese prisoners of war on those ships. Basically, each ship would carry 14,000 to 5,000 people. How crowded was the cabin?

People are crowded together, people are next to each other, and there is almost no room to stand. But even so, these Japanese soldiers, old or young, should still feel lucky. At least when they boarded the ship, each of them received a few A piece of compressed biscuit, at least for the next few days, they can eat a piece of compressed biscuit every day and not starve.

For these Japanese soldiers who were recruited last year, hunger will always live in their memories and is also the thing they fear the most. After all, in the winter last year, in order to survive, some people surrendered and some chose to Cannibalism.

And now?

At least there are still stutterers. Although not full.

The further south you go, the hotter it gets.

After several days of sailing, the landing ship sailed into the interior of the Barito River in Central Ontario. Transportation in the interior of Borneo mainly relies on river transportation, and river transportation in some internal mountainous areas is an important mode of external transportation.

The biggest advantage of the landing ship is that it can seize the beach on the river bank without relying on ports or even simple trestles. However, in inland reclamation areas, wooden trestles are still set up to dock boats.

After sailing along the Ba River for half a day, the ship finally docked at the pier. The prisoners on the deck and in the cabins all looked blankly at the green sea in front of them. For many people who had never left Japan, they It’s hard to imagine the weather in December, the winter here is hotter than the summer in Japan, the leaves are green, and everything is green.

"Baga, he's back again..."

Unlike others, this is not Haradazawa's first time in Nanyang. The last time he left was when he retired due to disability. Unexpectedly, after walking around for a while, he actually came back.

Maybe this is fate!

The tropical rain forest that appeared in front of them was filled with towering trees that blocked the sky and the sun. Clusters of shrubs were like large, airtight fences, entwined with many climbing wild vines, and the ground was overgrown with weeds. Like all prison camps, this one was located on the edge of a dense forest.

After entering the prisoner-of-war camp, everyone felt a chill in their hearts - the prisoner-of-war camp only had simple thatched huts with good ventilation. Is this where they would live in the future?

“All of you must be grateful!”

The officer on the stage said loudly.

"You are all guilty of war crimes and heinous war criminals. Now we give you the opportunity to reform. After completing the reform, you will be reborn and return to Japan with a completely new look!"

Can you go back?

Harada was thinking this in his heart.

"Okay, I hope you can seriously reform in the future and atone for your sins through labor!"

Just when he thought it was all over, Haradazawa heard shouts coming from the front.

"We are not war criminals, we are prisoners. Japan has surrendered. You should not have brought us here."

Following the voice, I saw that it was Major Morishita, and I saw him standing there shouting loudly.

"What you are doing is inconsistent with international law. According to the Geneva Prisoners of War Convention, I demand that we must..."

Before Major Morishita finished speaking, the officer on the stage nodded, and a guard walked up to him and took out his pistol from the holster. The black muzzle of the gun was pointed at his forehead, and Major Morishita stopped talking. He looked at the muzzle and opened his lips.

"boom"!

After a gunshot, Major Morishita fell down, his brains flying everywhere.

"Okay, do you have any comments now?"

asked the officer on the stage.

"If you have any opinions, feel free to raise them!"

With a sneer, the officer looked around the audience, and the audience was silent.

"You remember, all Japanese are war criminals, and no one is innocent. You send your sons to the battlefield and cheer for your father to kill people in China. Women send thousands of people to sew for your husbands, your My son prays for blessings and prays that they kill more people! You... none of the Japanese are innocent. Not killing you is already a special grace. If you are ungrateful, then..."

After a pause, the officer said.

"Then waiting for you is a dead end! Don't count on our kindness. All our kindness to you has been wiped out by your atrocities in Nanjing and China. If you want to survive, you must use your labor to serve you and serve you. Atone for the heinous crimes you all have committed! This is your only choice!"

A dead end!

The cold words reached people's ears, making everyone tremble with fear. No one dared to contradict or argue anymore.

After all, here we are just meat on the board. As meat on the board, one must be self-aware, otherwise what awaits them is just as the officer on the stage said - a dead end.
