Chapter 1257 A Calm and Turbulent Year

This year, in the international arena, it was a year of change, especially for the European battlefield, it was a year of turmoil.

From April 1940 to June of the following year, Germany dispatched 4 divisions to capture Denmark and Norway; mobilized 6 divisions to defeat 7 divisions in Western European countries, occupied the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, forcing 130 divisions of the British and French allied forces with 147 people Retreat across the sea from Dunkirk to defend the British Isles, and then Germany and Italy joined forces to force France to surrender.

From here, we can see the strength of Germany. It can be said that it is the pace of dominating Europe. It also made Hitler's prestige reach its peak. The whole of Germany is immersed in joy, but many things are unpredictable troubles. .

Regarding these situations, Chen Hao naturally knows that there is basically nothing to do except to destroy the conspiracy of the devils. It is to vigorously develop Shandong's economy so that the people have a good home, especially the agricultural and other crops during the year. The response is quite good. Even though there is not enough arable land, there is a lot of mountainous land, which is enough to build terraced fields and mountain orchards, etc.

Food has also increased greatly. The military government only collects one layer of tax revenue, and the rest are bought and sold for itself. Sanctions are imposed, and this is also inseparable from the support of the people. After all, how much food was only obtained before, but now it can get nine floors, and the gap is too big.

Yes, food is fundamental, but it is useless to have too much. During this year, I have lived a peaceful life, and the enthusiasm for production has naturally been greatly improved, ensuring more output, while the military government is buying everything. As for the surplus food, as for most of the money, it is almost the same to use profits and taxes to offset the price. This has to be said of another industry, that is, the development of light industry.

Light industries, especially textiles, have been sold far away this year. Needless to say, the army must have sold well. Moreover, with the development of the European battlefield and the matchmaking of Mike and others in the United States, these Materials were transported to the European battlefield extremely quickly, and clothes and other utensils were indispensable. Naturally, they made a lot of money, and the income of the military government also increased.

Most of them were run by wealthy landlords before, especially seeing such a promising development, they were naturally more enthusiastic, and they were no longer as unhappy as before. Anyway, it can make money, and it is more profitable than those in the fields. It can be seen that after seeing this harvest, needless to say, the enthusiasm poured into the light industry industry one after another.

As for heavy industry, in addition to guns and other industries, automobile manufacturing is also improving rapidly, at least much faster than aircraft and warship manufacturing. Of course, railways and other facilities are also gradually planned to improve Shandong's transportation again. After all, with the growing economy, it has begun to be unable to support the increase in the flow of people, so it is natural to speed up the completion of transportation facilities.

Fortunately, there were some railways left by the invaders, as well as the railways built by my family, which can be operated as long as they take a rest, but these are temporary, that is, after the completion of the new railway, they will be dismantled and a more advanced one will be built. It is related to the railway, but it can also divide part of the traffic, and it is already a very good fact that Shandong's economy has developed more rapidly.

Chen Hao is very satisfied with these developments and changes. Only by continuously improving and developing in this way can he have more advantages in the future. After all, whether it is aircraft or warships, they are all suitable for high-end development, and few people can support them. of.

Of course, although the development of aircraft construction and warship manufacturing has not been very great this year, at least some aircraft can be produced by themselves, but it is also inseparable from the help of foreign technicians, but it has made great progress, which makes him satisfied Quite a few, as for battleships, low-end torpedo boats and the like can already be built. According to the report, there are ten ships.

This is of course due to the unfamiliarity of the technology, and it must be improved more quickly in the future. As for the American Green, who has already shipped dozens of torpedo boats from the United States, it is also in response to Chen Hao's needs to prevent the encirclement of the Japanese army. After all, Shandong Surrounding the sea on three sides, we have to be careful. Once something happens, the torpedo boat is also a strategic weapon. Coupled with the cooperation of the aircraft, it is also a great danger to the Japanese army, which makes them dare not act rashly. This combat power also makes the Japanese army constantly afraid. In fact, I am very dissatisfied with the US practice.

As for the income, it’s very simple. Both the national army and the industrial army are trading. Needless to say, the national army is rich and powerful, and it’s too far from a foreign country. Chiang Kai-shek has no choice but to send someone to discuss with Chen Hao. In the end, it was arranged to sell it to him at an international price. Even if he knew that he would suffer a loss, he would admit it. At least there would be no shortage of armaments and weapons, and the troops would still have combat effectiveness, which is also good.

This is a big deal, and Chen Hao got a reward for his hard work, at least it filled a lot of vacancies, and it made the military government relax. After all, they have always relied on the commander's wealth as their expenditure. They are all Xu Ai is sorry, now he can finally make money, so naturally he has to pay off the debt as soon as possible, even if the commander doesn't care, some stubborn people have to pay it back.

In this regard, Chen Hao can only let it go. Talking to them is really tiring, and it is really helpless. However, he has no intention of asking for it. Instead, he has invested all the money in charity funds. At this stage, it is mainly used for Raising those orphans during the war, or families who couldn't support them, etc., shocked many people in the military government. I didn't expect the commander to have this side.

Then naturally, many private entrepreneurs also knew about this matter. It was not good at first glance, even the commander did this. If they don’t contribute, wouldn’t it be shameful? The Chinese people pay the most attention to this aspect, so naturally they can’t lag behind up.

It was mobilized in an instant, and the charity funds were brought to the peak here, which made him dumbfounded, but more people knew that this was a gesture of favor from the private sector, so that he could do business with peace of mind, and he didn't care about it, anyway, he wouldn't to do other things.

As for the industrial army, although they don't want to accept his kindness for free, they have to accept it because of the need of the war. In the end, they will spend part of the money internally as a reward, which is their biggest bottom line. I don't care, as long as I can stick to the War of Resistance, it's more or less the same, and everyone in the industrial army is very happy.

After all, there is a person who strongly supports them, and it will be of great help to them in the war of resistance. How could they not be happy?
In the international arena, the United States has made a lot of war money in the European battlefield, and has continuously exported weapons. Of course, this is not comparable to the supply from Shandong. After all, it is a collection of so many countries. There is a Shandong comparable, but it is still distributed. After coming down, Chen Hao was relieved. After all, although there are many destroyers and cruisers, Europe also needs them. What is the business not willing to do?

In fact, it is also because of the situation on the European battlefield at this stage. Only when the bottom line has not been reached, more shares can be distributed. It may be less by next year. This is all within his expectations, so he dares to be so big. said openly.

In addition to these, the construction of submarines is also speeding up. Now they can only be equipped with anti-submarine radars. Fortunately, they are all in the offshore, and the radars can be reflected back in preparation. Once again, I almost suffered a loss. Fortunately, the plane and torpedo boat arrived at a high speed, and the Japanese army's plot was shattered, and it also hit a lot.

Shandong has slowly passed through a peaceful and difficult year, and a big event happened again at the end of the year on the land of China.

The growth and growth of the New Fourth Army of the industrial army became Chiang Kai-shek's confidant, and finally led to the "Southern Anhui Incident" that shocked China and the world in December 1940. More than 12 soldiers of the New Fourth Army fell under the guns of their compatriots. Being suppressed by the Kuomintang, Xiang Ying was killed by a traitor, the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui suffered heavy losses, and the anti-Japanese strength and enthusiasm of the Chinese people suffered an unprecedented heavy blow.

Chen Hao also issued a severe reprimand for this, but the helpless fact has already been created, and even if he wants to change it, he can't change it.

"Damn the national army, you should have listened to him in the first place, and there will be no such serious consequences. Mistakes, mistakes."

"Chairman, it's not your fault. It's because the national army is too hateful. They are the anti-Japanese united front and nothing. They have once again shamed the land of Huaxia. Just pay attention to it in the future. Now the main thing is to take over this matter and not let Jiang People are happy."

While launching a major political counterattack against the diehards of the national army, the labor army proceeded from national justice and continued to adhere to the unanimous anti-Japanese proposition to the outside world. Under the correct leadership, the northern Jiangsu battlefield was opened up, the northern Jiangsu base area was established, and the Japanese invaders launched an arduous struggle.

At the same time, Chen Hao also sent people to support the base area in northern Jiangsu, so that they can fight the war with peace of mind. The base area is also growing day by day, which makes the Japanese army and Chiang Kai-shek very upset, but now there is no way. Where is northern Jiangsu? It is close to Shandong. The border of Shandong, do they dare to attack, joke, look at the large army displayed on the border of Shandong, let them be overwhelmed.

Chiang Kai-shek once again fell into the verbal criticism of the entire Huaxia people, louder than louder, which naturally made him passive.

In fact, there is no good way now. After all, this is the truth. He, Jiang, has done a dirty job, so can't he be scolded by the world? It has an absolutely opposite meaning to the meaning of the War of Resistance, and the seizure of power cannot It's time to do it.
