Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Three thousand tons of gold, if all converted into U.S. dollars at that time, would be more than three billion U.S. dollars.

    It should be understood that at this moment, the central government¡¯s annual fiscal revenue is less than one billion U.S. dollars.  And Liu Hua's military action brought back several years of fiscal revenue for the entire central government.  It can be said that with this money, at least within five years, even if the current central government carries out large-scale construction across the country, there will be no need to worry too much about money

    Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, commands an army of hundreds of thousands like bandits. When he can gain valuable property by looting the Japanese mainland.  The confrontation between the U.S. and Japanese troops on the Pacific battlefield has come to an end under the overwhelming attack of the Allied forces

    The only joint fleet that the Japanese government can rely on is under constant attack by U.S. Navy carrier-based bombers.  All aircraft carriers under the entire fleet, without exception, sank to the bottom of the sea.  Battleships, cruisers, destroyersships that embodies the Japanese dream of dominating the world were either directly bombed and sunk at the bottom of the sea, or they sank in the Pacific Ocean under the coercion of the Allied naval forces

    The Combined Fleet, which had dominated the Pacific for decades, completely disappeared from the Pacific battlefield with the destruction of several major fleets.

    Without the combined fleet and the support of naval carrier-based aircraft, the millions of Japanese troops evenly distributed on dozens of islands of various sizes would immediately become isolated armies without any back-up.

    The spirit of Bushido, if used well, can make a country strong and prosperous.  The Japanese military government before militarism was implemented is a good example.  However, if it is not used properly, it can lead a country directly to the road of destruction.  Now, the millions of Japanese troops trapped on the Pacific battlefield are the most direct example.

    Facing the joint attack of the Allied navy, land and air forces, the Japanese army knew that it was impossible to win.  Inspired by the spirit of Bushido, instead of showing any signs of surrender, they resorted to various means of suicide attacks.  Continuously killing and injuring the effective forces of the Allied troops.

    Of course, even so, millions of Japanese troops could not hold on for too long.

    Japan¡¯s national power is limited and its resources are limited.  In addition, the number of troops on the front line reached more than two million people.  Whether it is food, supplies, or ammunition that the troops urgently need, even if all strategic reserves are averaged out, being able to fight continuously for half a month is achieved through saving and saving.

    ¡°Faced with the Allied troops¡¯ ammunition that seemed to be free of charge, even if the Japanese army wanted to save money, they couldn¡¯t¡­ The battles that took place on various islands had just started for less than a week.  Japanese troops on various islands had to face a shortage of ammunition.

    Without bullets and artillery shells, no matter how strong the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is, every flesh and blood body cannot be an opponent of Allied tanks and armored fighting vehicles

    There were more than two million Japanese troops, except for less than half a million who became Allied prisoners of war because they were hungry and had no choice.  The rest, without exception, all turned into corpses.  Become a delicacy for fish in the Pacific Ocean

    The Pacific War ended, and the Japanese army of more than two million soldiers was completely destroyed.  Allied forces, also known as American troops.  There were also heavy casualties, and more than a million people were buried on this battlefield

    As Liu Hua guessed, the loss of millions of people in the Pacific battlefield was coupled with the loss of more than one million troops in the European battlefield.  With direct losses of more than two million people, plus the disabilities on the battlefield, the U.S. government's maximum wartime mobilization population of 20 million people was reduced to 25% in one fell swoop.  In other words, at this moment, the number of young adults in the United States has directly decreased by more than 25%

    More than 25 percent of young adults lose their jobs.  It will be a serious test for the post-war US economic recovery.  In order to make up for the losses in economic development caused by population loss in the next few years, the U.S. government, including several other Allied countries, unsurprisingly focused on several defeated countries.

    The German mainland is under the joint attack of the Allied forces of sea, land and air.  Almost in ruins.  The only things that can be obtained are various weapons and industrial equipment that are of little use to the US government and can only be used as scrap metal.  After all, looking around the world, the industrial level of the United States has undoubtedly become the leader in the world today.

    Not getting too many direct benefits from Germany, the U.S. government immediately set its sights on the Japanese who paid a heavy price for themselves and whose homeland was almost not attacked

    In the White House of the United States, President Roosevelt after the end of World War II did not have as many smiles on his face as others.  Because, as president, he is very aware of the huge "young adult population crisis" faced by the U.S. government after the war.challenge.  If it is not good, the US government, which made a fortune through two world wars, will stagnate for at least ten years

    The more than four million young adults who were directly or indirectly lost, and the millions of families behind them, are enough for the U.S. government to bear.  What's more, the factories where millions of people work will inevitably close down with the end of the war because there are no workers to engage in production.

    The burden on millions of families, the closure of thousands of factories Thinking of these extremely troublesome things, President Roosevelt couldn't help but frown.

    "Money Without money, nothing can be done" This is the only portrayal of Roosevelt's heart at this moment.

    And at this moment, Major General Roscoe of the Intelligence Department, who had high hopes for Roosevelt, walked in with a gloomy face and said.

    "Your Excellency, the Intelligence Bureau's investigation shows that the situation in Japan is also very grim?"

    "Um? Apart from anything else, could it be that our ally the Chinese government has completely wiped out the Japanese mainland?" Roosevelt asked with a solemn face.

    "Yes, Your Excellency, PresidentAccording to intelligence, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has dismantled almost all the mechanical equipment in Japan, especially military equipment, and transported them all back to the country" Major General Roscoe replied.

    "Mechanical equipment No Mr. Major General, do you think the mechanical equipment used by the Japanese can compare with our American equipment? Even if all those equipment are shipped back to our United States, we can only treat them all as one  Stack scrap steel and recycle it for reuse What I want is funds, what I want is war reparations from the Japanese government" Roosevelt shook his head and replied firmly.

    "Your Excellency, I have to let you down again In terms of reparations, I believe that even if the entire Japan is sold, it is impossible to get such a large amount of funds"

    "According to the investigation of our intelligence agency, several years of foreign wars have emptied the Japanese treasury. Especially in recent years, if the Japanese army had not been replenishing domestic wealth by continuously plundering colonial wealth, with only hundreds of soldiers on the Pacific battlefield,  The Japanese government cannot support tens of thousands of Japanese troops"

    In an instant, Roosevelt, who had looked expectant just now, immediately showed a look of helplessness and frustration because of Major General Roscoe's answer.

    Facing Major General Roscoe in front of him, he murmured to himself: "Do we in the United States really have to pay such a high price for this? Not only the loss of so many outstanding young men, but also the entire American economy for several years.  development of¡­."

    When the atmosphere in the President's Office became more and more solemn, General Marshall, who also had a certain understanding of the domestic situation, walked straight in

    Seeing Roosevelt with a solemn expression, General Marshall said directly: "Your Excellency, if my guess is correct, you must still be worried about the future economic development of our country, right?"

    "Marshall is here, take a seat You are right, this is indeed the problem" Roosevelt said affirmatively.

    "According to the latest information from the Intelligence Bureau, the current Japanese government is simply unable to repay the war reparations to our country?" At this point, a look of distress immediately appeared on Roosevelt's face.

    However, what surprised President Roosevelt was that the smile on Marshall's face did not diminish at all, and he still said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, I also know the trauma this war has caused to the entire country This is not  , our ally, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force Liu Hua, gave us an idea I took a look and it felt good, so I brought it to your Excellency, the President. I hope it will be helpful to the country's recovery and development  "

    After saying that, Marshall handed the telegram that had been translated into English to President Roosevelt, who looked confused

    After carefully reading the telegram in his hand, Roosevelt, who had been frowning just now, immediately relaxed.  An old face also showed a smile that was hard to detect

    Use Japanese young adults to make up for the loss of domestic young adults

    For these millions of free young adults, not only do you not need to pay too much, but more importantly, a large number of young adults from Japan can be thrown into the mines

    Roosevelt believed that as long as the U.S. government could, as Liu Hua said, recruit more than three million young adults from Japan.  It is conceivable that the U.S. government¡¯s labor shortage will be relieved soon.  The economic value created by millions of Japanese young adults to the U.S. government is enough to help millions of families of martyrs in China restore their lives

    "Very goodMarshall, our allies have solved a big problem for usIt seems that we"The choice was correct" Roosevelt sighed with a smile on his face.

    While he was sighing with emotion, she did not expect that as the president, he, and even the entire US government, had fallen into Liu Hua's scheme in public to help him step on the Japanese government forever (To be continued!  ~!
