The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 547 Fighting Together in the United Front
Kong Jie, who heard the news, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he believes that after all the preparations, with the ability of the team members, the completion of this armed operation to seize the Japanese army's control of the bank's cash flow is almost certain.

But until the final result comes out, there is always some worry.

After all, this time he personally led the team to the Golden Concession, the most important thing was to complete the task of rescuing experts, professors and overseas Chinese representatives assigned by his superiors.

Right now, secretly raiding the devil's bank vault is already beyond the mission.

No one said anything if it succeeded, but once it failed, Kong Jie couldn't bear the responsibility.

Knowing from John's mouth that the commando had successfully escaped, he even teased the Japanese army well.

Kong Jie relaxed, thinking in his heart that the success of this military operation to seize the Japanese army's treasury means that in the next cooperation with John, our pockets have already bulged.

"John, I heard that you also invested in some food processing factories, steelmaking factories, and even power plants in the concession. Could you take me to have a look?"

John smiled and said, "Xu, are you interested in these too?"

Kong Jie said, "Of course, I'm interested in any industry that can make money."

When visiting these factories next, when Kong Jie proposed to cooperate, John said with some embarrassment: "Xu, I'm sorry, I am not the only shareholder of these production factories. Most of them exclude people from other countries. If you want to buy a share, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Shares?

Kong Jie sneered in his heart, he had no such idea at all.

Let’s not talk about whether these Yankees can guarantee that these Yankees will pay him dividends after buying shares.
Besides, this concession will not be long. As the Japanese army declares war on Britain and the United States, sooner or later it will be forcibly occupied by the Japanese army.

At that time, no matter how good the development is, it will be in vain, and Kong Jie will not do such a stupid thing as losing money.

"John, don't worry, you are my friend. We Chinese never make it difficult for our friends. In this way, I will not take a share. I choose to cooperate with your production plant."

"Xu, how exactly do you want to cooperate?" John asked.

Kong Jie said: "I want goods, whether it's soap produced by a soap factory, all kinds of food produced by a food processing factory, steel produced by a steel factory, and a series of other daily necessities, I want it."

As soon as these words came out, John was also stunned.

Kong Jie's generosity overwhelmed him. John didn't underestimate Kong Jie's financial resources at first, and believed that Kong Jie was a wealthy businessman in Shanxi. He just didn't expect that the other party's background was so strong.

"Xu, are you sure you're not joking?" John confirmed.

Kong Jie raised his hand and said, "I'm never joking when it comes to business. I want all these products, but I have one condition."

"Please tell me!" John hurriedly said, if the deal is concluded, other conditions are easy to negotiate.

Kong Jie said: "I am a person who is not suspicious of employing people. Even if I am in business, I like to do business with friends who I like."

"For the purchase of all these commodities, I only deal with you, John, instead of going through these factories. John, can you understand what I mean?"

John stayed for a few seconds, and then almost danced, "Oh my god, Xu, no, my friend, you are so interesting."

"It's such a big favor, do you know how much I personally could make out of it if you did that?"

Kong Jie smiled and asked back: "Isn't it right to let my friends earn more? Besides, I bought these products to sell in Shanxi, and I can also earn more benefits. You and I earn together." Big money."

John smiled brightly. He confirmed that Kong Jie was not joking, and he believed that Kong Jie also had the financial resources.

In the past few days, with a wave of his hand, Kong Jie has signed many orders and paid a considerable deposit.

This great surprise made John even forget the big case of the robbery of the Japanese army's treasury that came from outside the concession.

For Kong Jie, there was a reason for doing so.

In the American Concession, there are many production factories related to John, and the various commodities produced are too much needed for the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang base area.

Whether it's all kinds of daily necessities, processed food, or clothing, there is no shortage of anything in the base area.

In the precarious environment behind enemy lines, if the base area wants to develop, it will naturally be slow to expand the quantity of goods only by expanding internal production.

The fastest speed is to let a large amount of goods flow into the base area.

Of course, these commodities will not flow directly into the market, nor will they flow directly into the hands of the common people.

But from the warehouse of the independent regiment.

According to Kong Jie's plan, a labor group will be formed near the Independence Group in the future, and a large amount of wages will be paid to the people at that time.

But the base area can't just go out and not in. After the wages are paid out, these goods will leave the warehouse of the independent regiment, put them on the market, and then collect the money from the hands of the people.

The common people got the goods and their lives would be better.

Since the funds are used up, the people will continue to work and get money again.

If this virtuous circle continues, the people will have money and goods in their hands, which will stimulate the development of the market in the entire base area, and the economy will soon prosper.

As for the source of the money needed to buy the goods back from John.

Quite simply, it was the cash (day bills, reserved US dollars, British pounds), gold, silver, and even some bonds that the commandos had seized from the devil's vaults and banks.

According to Kong Jie's plan before the commando operation, the commando's armed operation to seize the cash flow of Nijin Bank, in addition to the commando, also had the cooperation of some underground party comrades arranged by Zhou Jianren.

After the team members successfully robbed the cash from the devil's vault, the comrades of the underground party will quickly respond at the expected location halfway, and quickly transfer the property into the hidden basement.

Then, the commando would continue to lure the Japanese army to pursue them, until they abandoned the passenger car halfway, and the golden cicada escaped from its shell.

When the Japanese army came after them in a hurry, all they could find was an empty car and the missing currency.

It is actually not safe to keep this large amount of currency in your hands, and it would take a great risk to transport it out under the eyes of the devils.

Therefore, Kong Jie's use of the wealth seized by armed forces is mainly divided into three parts.

In the first one, a certain amount of funds was reserved and handed over to the comrades of the underground party in Tianjin as funds for underground activities.

In Kong Jie's words:

Our leader Kong finally came here, so he had to give a meeting gift to the comrades of the underground party in Tianjin.

The second one, for working with John.

As for cooperating with John alone, Kong Jie wanted to ensure the safety of this route, and it would be much better if John, the Yankee, came forward in everything.

The way of cooperation is even more simple and practical. Spend the money directly, buy a large amount of goods from John, and then transport them all the way back to Shanxi by merchant ships on the Yellow River.

The action of seizing cash flow with the armed force without too much cost investment, obtained a steady stream of large amounts of funds, and then bought back a large amount of goods from the Yankees.

It can almost be understood as a disguised form of economic plunder, allowing goods and goods in the concession to flow into the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army.

The third part is used as a security fund, which is sent back to Genqu with the goods as a backup fund for the independent regiment.

This is Kong Jie's overall plan.

……

When the business between the two parties was concluded, John's attitude towards Kong Jie became more and more enthusiastic.

Kong Jie tried to pull John to his front again, the method was quite simple.

Sooner or later, the little devil will do this with the United States, and there are completely traces to follow.

John is not a pure businessman, he is even involved in the arms business, and has connections with some bigwigs in the US military. He even serves as an intelligence collector for the military while doing business in the concession.

He also has a good understanding of the trend of the international situation.

Kong Jie analyzed from many aspects one by one, and standing on the shoulders of giants, gave some advance hints, and John suddenly realized.

According to Kong Jie's analysis:
"This little devil has always been despicable, he doesn't talk about martial arts, and he likes to fight undeclared wars and engage in sneak attacks. In our China, whether it is the September [-]th Incident or the July [-]th Incident, these are typical."

"Right now, the dream of the Japanese army threatening to occupy China for three months has been completely shattered. The war has been dragging on for longer and longer. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the balance of victory in the war has gradually turned towards us in China."

"The devil can't chew on China's tough bone for the time being, maybe he can only think of other ways..."

About to get to the key point, Kong Jie stopped abruptly, which immediately whetted John's appetite.

John said anxiously: "Xu, what is the way?"

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Want to know?"

"Of course, Xu, this is very important to my motherland, so stop joking."

Kong Jie said: "At the end of the day, it's just my personal analysis and speculation. Whether it's true or not, John, don't blindly believe it."

John said: "Xu, don't worry, I will make my own judgment."

Kong Jie nodded, and continued: "At present, the Japanese army is fighting more and more in the battlefield against China.

The advancement of the frontal battlefield has gradually slowed down, or even made no progress, and there are a large number of Eighth Route Army troops in the enemy's rear battlefield. You must have heard of the Hundred Regiments Battle not long ago, John, right? "

John said: "Yes, such a large number of powerful troops can still emerge in the small Japanese-occupied area. Xu, this is simply a miracle, a miracle created by you Chinese."

Kong Jie said: "So, with the continuation of the war against China, the devils are actually on the verge of madness.

They can't get any benefits in the Chinese battlefield. If they continue to fight, their disadvantages will only become more obvious, and the shortage of resources will become more and more serious. This has gradually become the fatal point for the Japanese army to continue this war.

What would they do in this situation?
You can only find a way to obtain resources from other battlefields to continue the war!

If I were a high-level Japanese army, I could take advantage of the defeat of Britain and France by Germany to send troops to Southeast Asia. If I could quickly invade the southeast and plunder military supplies, the Japanese army's problems could be eased.

So at this time, who is the Japanese army unable to bypass? "

"It's the United States, my motherland!" John clenched his fists, and then said disdainfully: "However, the small country of Japan dares to start a war with the United States?"

Kong Jie laughed and said, "That's why I said that the Japanese army is despicable and good at surprise attacks."

"You mean..." John looked horrified, "Little Japan might sneak attack us in the United States? Shit, this damn little Japan."

Kong Jie didn't say any more, it was enough to provoke John's anger towards the Japanese army.

If John paid enough attention to this information and sent it back to China, the US military would quickly adjust its strategy and even suppress trade with the Japanese army, thereby reducing the pressure on the Chinese army on the Chinese battlefield, then it would be great.

Under such national hatred, Kong Jie was convinced that it was impossible for John to have an affair with the Japanese army in turn.

Naturally, Kong Jie would not tell John that the devil will indeed attack your motherland, what kind of port, and when and so on.

That would only be considered a lunatic.

Unexpectedly, John's analytical ability is also quite terrifying. Following Kong Jie's reminder in a few words, he quickly set his sights on some military ports in the United States.

"Damn it, this is the place where Little Japan is most likely to sneak attack, but what exactly is it?"

"Xu, thank you for your generosity, thank you so much, you really reminded me."

Kong Jie said with a smile: "John, as I said, I'm just guessing, and I think these guesses are expected in your motherland, and the military high-level should have already expected them. Maybe it's just that we worry too much!"

John thought for a while, and gradually calmed down, "Xu, what you said makes sense."

"Xu, I think we are now not only business partners, personal emotional friends, but also comrades in the united front."

Kong Jie smiled and stretched out his hand, "John, that's exactly what I want to say."...
