The journey starts from the Titanic

"That's good! I heard that Minister Wu attaches great importance to this operation, and the people from the Intelligence Department have done much to come along this way!" Fan Tong mentioned a little serious, a trace of mystery flashed in his eyes.

There are not only more than 2,000 contract workers from Meihua Company, but also more than 100 orphan students from Chongming Island, Nantong, etc., and the Ministry of Intelligence selects elites from thousands of orphans and poor students from all over the country. , Fan Tong, who was urged, couldn’t help but feel nervous. What if something goes wrong, wouldn’t the Intelligence Department take his skin?

"Don't be nervous, the whole boat is ours. We don't care about Miss Wu's affairs so much, let's do our own business!"

Huang Zongxiao said calmly, after arriving in Nanhua, those people were handed over to Fan Tong, and his character was completed.

"Where are these girls going? Lao Fan!"

Huang Zongxiao couldn't help asking, looking at Fan Tong somewhat seriously.

Most of the "cargoes escorted" this time were teenage girls. Meihua purchased them in Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Anhui under various names. The average cost was less than 50 Nanhua yuan, and they all signed sales contracts. It takes 10 years to work for Meihua Company to be free.

As for the poorer Henan and Shaanxi, Meihua has not yet explored the market.

Meihua Company introduced a large number of young women, Huang Zongxiao had to care about the future fate of those girls.

"Why? Heartache?" Fan Tong smiled slightly, his smile was very kind, but his eyes were cold. Compared with the 70,000 service women in Shanghai, what is the worth of one or two thousand girls in this district?

"Don't talk nonsense!" Huang Zongxiao was a little impatient, smoking a cigarette.

He is responsible for the acquisition of labor, while Fan Tong is responsible for the transportation and sales link. Although he is Fan Tong's nominal boss, he is not very clear about what those people did in Nanhua.

"Don't worry! Unlike you think, these are female workers in pharmaceutical factories and textile factories. After half a year of training, they will walk into the factory. I heard that your Huang family's pharmaceutical factory has booked a lot!"

Fan Tong smiled.

Meihua Company recruits a large number of laborers. It has become a common practice for men to go to mining sites and women to go to textile factories and pharmaceutical factories. Of course, many of them are used to ration men in the army and build corps as wives.

Even Situ Nan had to sigh after learning about this-this is the largest blind date meeting in the world!Direct and pragmatic, there are not many choices, and no warmth, just for survival.

"That's good!" Huang Zongxiao breathed a sigh of relief, took a sharp sip, and threw the cigarette butt into the sea. Feeling that the last puff was a bit sweet, he patted Fan Tong on the shoulder again, "Come over to my room at night, there is a bottle of good wine waiting. you."

Seeing Huang Zongxiao’s departure, Fan Tong shook his head and said in his heart: We didn’t do it, it doesn’t mean that others would not do it. In order to combat Japan, the South China executives allowed Chinese women to enter the country through various channels. On the contrary, a large number of them The Japanese women were sent away to make a living elsewhere, including Aju Atake who was planted among the hundreds of thousands of Japanese women.

The struggle between nations is cruel even in a small place!

This is the belief that Fan Tong was instilled by the Ministry of Intelligence. As an agent of the Ministry of Intelligence placed in the US-China Company, his task also includes screening out the various spies hidden in the labor.

The ignorant young Jiang is also the target of Fan Tong's attention. If there is no accident, the young man will be sent to the Tangshan Army Middle School, not only to train to become the future pillar of Nanhua, but also to be monitored as a hostage to some extent... These are things Huang Zongxiao never knew.

Chapter 38-Governor Jiang Ji

The southern line of the Central Java Railway Project has been completed from the capital Xintangshan to Yogyakarta. The two places are separated by 500 kilometers. After the completion of the railway, it will only take a short day.

Jiang Weiji appeared in front of Wu Manli in a military uniform of a major, with a faint bloodshot eyes and a faint smell of blood in his excitement.

"You did a good job this time. You killed Sukarno and other insurgents in one swoop and used iron and blood to keep the railway project going smoothly. I hope you will continue to work hard. This is your new appointment."

Wu Manli looked at Jiang Weiji with a tall waist, and she was full of appreciation. This man was ruthless!Sure enough, she did not disappoint. Under his deployment, the opposition in the areas where the railway project conflicts most severely was suppressed.

Wu Manli also cares about how many Javanese died. The southern line railway is owned by her Java Railway Company. She has been longing for the completion of the railway and the development of food, minerals and other resources in the southern Java region. Under her hint, the Yogyakarta Railway Several gold mines along the line also fell into the hands of the Java Railway Company, opening up a stable financial source.

The name Jiang Weiji must now scare the unwilling Javanese to talk about Jiang.

"Thank you for the promotion, Minister!" Jiang Weiji put his feet together and saluted Wu Manli with some admiration. His military rank has just been born again. If nothing happens, he will become the most powerful person in Yogyakarta.

"In view of the particularity of the Yogyakarta region, I suggest that it should be listed separately, and the governor should be stationed to directly control the local area. Now the presence of the Sultan of Java has affected the government's control of the Yogyakarta region."

Jiang Weiji sternly suggested, and put forward a ruling plan.The situation in Yogyakarta is quite special, where the Sudan still remains, and a high degree of autonomy is still maintained there until a hundred years later, and the Java Sudan still retains relatively large power.

In order to maintain its rule, South China did not revoke Sudan two years ago, and retained the puppet of Sudan like the Dutch and Indian authorities.

This situation has now changed due to the emergence of Jiang Weiji. As the conflict between the Chinese and the Javanese has intensified, after the new Tangshan, Surabaya and other big cities were occupied by the Chinese, more and more unwilling Javanese began to wait for Yogyakarta. Gathered in Central Java.

In the Iron Plow Operation that just ended, the South China Intelligence Department discovered that there were many strange-minded Javanese rebels around Sudan, so the Java Sudan, the last fortress of the Javanese, must be wiped out anyway.Undoubtedly, this gave Jiang Weiji another chance, and he planned to seize it firmly.

"Do you want to be governor?"

Wu Manli smiled faintly, a little moved, and the blade-like eyes fell on Jiang Weiji's face, and her brows frowned: This guy's eyes were calm and there was no panic at all. It was too calm. It shouldn't be an impromptu intention to raise this idea.

Now Jiang Weiji can't lead troops, he can bring one company at most at his level. The professional military talents cultivated by the Nanhua Military Academy are not three-point military and seven-point political baby student army, so the military is not a good direction for Jiang Weiji's development.

The successful planning of the Iron Plow Operation won Wu Manli's trust and established a certain position in the Intelligence Department. However, to succeed in Nanhua, the ambitious Jiang Weiji needs more eye-catching results.

He believes that any measure that is conducive to expanding the interests of the Chinese people and weakening the indigenous power on the island will not be opposed to him, but will indulge him.

"The elimination of the Java Sultan will completely defeat the resistance of the Javanese indigenous people and provide free labor for the railway mine. I am willing to serve the country."

Jiang Weiji took the opportunity to add, saying every sentence to Wu Manli's heart.Wu Manli looked at Jiang Wei who was determined not to speak, and squinted her eyes.

The room suddenly quieted down, lonely men and women, but the strength of the two was reversed.After a while, Wu Manli asked quietly: "It's decided?"

Jiang Weiji nodded.

Since he had such ambitions, he had no choice but to fulfill him.Wu Manli praised: "Okay! I will fight for you. Our intelligence department won Yogyakarta. I believe no one can compete with our intelligence department for the Governor of Yogyakarta."

Jiang Weiji breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the excitement in his heart. The Governor of Yogyakarta is an excellent step to the political arena. Otherwise, he can only be a murderous blade in the intelligence department in the future. This is not the direction he pursues. .

"By the way, since you are now a senior Nanhua official, you should take your relatives in your country. I heard that you have a son in Shanghai. I suggest you send him to military academy! Nanhua needs young people with knowledge and ideals. I believe Master Ling will be very promising."

Wu Manli said kindly, looking at Jiang Weiji with concern.

"Well. The humble post will definitely consider it." A trace of hesitation flashed across Jiang Weiji's face, and he immediately realized that this was Wu Manli's kind reminder: Send the hostages over!

Jiang Weiji was determined to join the Nanhua system. Although he was somewhat unhappy about being manipulated, he immediately accepted the result.

The Governor of Yogyakarta has aroused the interest of many veterans in the cabinet. Jiang Wei, who put forward this idea, remembered the opportunity to show himself in front of the veterans. He wanted to persuade the cabinet to pass this resolution himself.

South China also has a large number of islands. In these remote areas, because they are outer islands and are not the focus of South China’s current development, some people have proposed to establish the rule of the South China government through the establishment of a governor’s office in these areas.

These include Sulawesi, Surah Islands, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara and other islands. These islands are strategically located and rich in products. South China took over these sites from the Dutch, and it did not actually change the local The state of the colonial economy.

Relying on the army, South China’s rule in those areas has gradually stabilized, but it is necessary to strengthen its control over the local area. When it is beyond reach and there is not much resources to invest in it for a while, it is sent to the governor, in a form similar to the appointed governor. It is indeed an effective governance strategy.

To put it bluntly, apart from the three major islands of Java, Sumatra and Borneo, the South China government is just a new colonial government in the other remote areas. The new Chinese company replaced the Dutch company and used industrial scissors to exploit local agricultural and mineral products.

"In terms of cost, I think this is an effective measure. Anyway, we should not have the mind to care about those remote and deserted islands overseas in 20 to 30 years."

At the cabinet meeting, the Minister of the Interior Gao Wei agreed with the "colonial rule" of the outer islands.

The so-called outer islands mainly refer to other areas other than the Java Sea.Recently, some companies have taken a fancy to the spice and rubber resources on the outer islands. These companies are not too strong and have insufficient capital and technology for manufacturing. However, the agricultural and mineral products invested in the outer islands are very suitable for them. Less privilege.

Several key members representing the US-China Consortium know that the US-China Department controls Nanhua’s major industries such as finance, energy, steel, and transportation. It really looks down on those remote islands, so they tacitly did not oppose it. Moreover, this matter is still intelligence. The Ministry is the first to take the lead, and there is faint support from the military. The establishment of the Governor of Yogyakarta is indeed conducive to the South China government's control and development of Central Java.

"Since everyone has no opinion, the governor of Yogyakarta is set in this way, but this is just a stopgap measure." Prime Minister Situ Meiden said with a final word.

"The next thing is about the domestic situation. Now all parties are ready to move, and we are no exception." Situ Meideng looked serious, turned to sit at the end, a neat suit, silent Wu Manli.
