Chapter 12 Businessmen (Second update)

The massacre of the Iron Blood Army shocked China and foreign countries. All countries knew that the war between the two countries would happen again. How could a powerful country not retaliate when the expatriates were massacred? It was just that Britain, France, Germany, and the United States were thinking about how to reduce the scale of the war. They were not prepared to stop Japan's attack, and even a little fueled. However, they also grasped the size, which was to let Dengson be beaten severely, so that Dengson would rely more on them. When the Sino-Japanese War entered a certain situation, they would mediate from it.

Dengsen knew their ideas, and at the same time, Dengsen also had his own plans. Just the day after the massacre, major newspapers in Shanghai published articles. After Dengsen's arrangement, all the newspapers reported that Japan wanted to use overseas Chinese armed forces to siege the leader of the Iron Blood Party, Dengsen, in Shanghai.

This news caused a lot of noise in Shanghai. Who is Dengsen? He is a national fighter now, a hero. The Eastern people dare to conspire against him, which makes all Chinese people angry. At the same time, the Iron Blood Army leader Dengsen declared that the responsibility for this conflict was attributed to the Japanese expatriates. At the same time, it rectified Hongkou and repatriated Japanese expatriates. Regardless of whether the Japanese were willing or not, they were left with only the elderly, weak, women and children, and they could not choose, so they could only openly hold the tickets given by Iron Blood Army humanitarianism and open here.

"Head of the People's Republic of China, the list of seized materials is as follows." Qin Xiaoyuan came over with a report pale face. He still remembered the events of that day, especially after she was curious about seeing the bodies pulled out of the house. Even more so, she was just a weak girl. Although she was so heroic in this military uniform, she was just like the cute little girl she met at the beginning, without any change.

"Well" Deng Sen nodded and smiled at Qin Xiaoyuan. He saw that she was still struggling with the scene she saw that day, so he said again: "Xiaoyuan, war is so cruel. You have lived in Shanghai. You should also know how many things the Japanese have done in Shanghai over the years that are both angry with each other. Don't be sad for those people."

"Those children are innocent," Qin Xiaoyuan said weakly.

"Innocent? No, they will not be wronged because ten years later or more than ten years later, they will grow into adults. If China and Japan fought at that time, they would be our enemies, and China and Japan would have a war. There must be one country in each other. I was not prepared to fight them. These troops were transported here just to prevent the army of the ** Party. Unexpectedly, they were used to deal with people themselves, and at least they would not beat their own people." Deng Sen stood up and held Qin Xiaoyuan's hand and said softly. He had no feeling about this massacre. Didn't he die more than 40,000 Japanese? Compared with the Nanjing Massacre in later generations and the casualties in China in the eight years of the War of Resistance, it was just a drop in the bucket. If Deng Sen had the strength, he would erase the Japanese nation from the world without hesitation.

"Okay, you're tired, go back and rest," Deng Sen looked at the girl who had lost weight and wrote, and finally said to him the report on his hand.

Qin Xiaoyuan nodded and left docilely, leaving Deng Sen alone in the room.

"The seizure of materials was 7.2 million pounds, 3 million US dollars, and 10 million French currency (Filipino currency refers to the coins of Yuan Shikai's government, which are the currency issued after the founding of the Constitution.), with a total of about 13 million pounds, 36,000 guns, 13 million ammunition, and 24 artillery pieces, all of which are small-caliber artillery. Heavy shells were 13,000,000, other small shells, more than 30,000, 60 mm shells, 17,000, and 1.3 million cloths." These seizures were very important to Dengson, especially the 13 million bullets. Mauser bullets consumed too much, because his army almost used Mauser rifles, but the rifles seized this time plus the bullets to fight a battle-level war.

"Report" When Deng Sen was thinking about something, Peng Qingjin's voice came to mind outside the door.

"Come in." Deng Sen recovered from his thoughts, and Peng Qingjin was already standing in front of him.

"Head of the People's Republic of China, the materials have been uploaded and transported to Lianyungang through Germany and Germany, and the wealthy businessmen in Shanghai have also been invited." Deng Sen immediately arranged two tasks after the incident. First, transported all the materials, including cloth, to Lianyungang, and at the same time, they sent power to Zhang Xiaojun and others, and ordered them to receive the materials. At the same time, it was announced that northern Anhui had entered a first-level combat readiness state. The iron-blooded army that was eroding was evacuated one after another, leaving only the reorganized division of the Jiangsu First Army that had just broken Yancheng, where to meet the troops of the Third Division.

As for those wealthy businessmen in Shanghai, Deng Sen was preparing to attract them to northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu to invest and build factories. There are still many people in China who want to invest in and build factories. Especially among the Shanghai merchants, Zhu Baosan, Sun Duoxin, Ding Qinye, Xu Wenweng, Shao Qintao, Su Baosheng, Zhu Lanfang, Zhu Lanfang, Xiang Rusong, Lin Chunweng, Cao Yuweng and other wealthy businessmen in Shanghai are no less than foreign merchants, and they are representatives of Chinese businessmen in this era.

In the German Concession, the German Concession Conference Hall is now for use by Dunson. When Dunson arrived here, it was already crowded with people, and nearly a hundred elite figures from all walks of life in Shanghai were waiting for him here.

"I guess this is the hero of our people. Governor Deng, Mr. Deng, is the old Zhu Baosan." Zhu Baosan, who is over 60 years old, came to welcome Dengsen with a group of businessmen. Although they didn't know what Dengsen was doing to invite them here, they still came for Dengsen's reputation. At worst, they just donated some finances.

"You are polite, old man, I should say hello to you, I have done a lot of good things for the Chinese people for so many years. I admire the old man Zhu Baosan. He is the best-looking businessman in this era. He has several banks, five insurance companies, and tram manufacturing factories, light factories, silk factories, oil presses, etc. covering almost all industries, and they are developing well. Deng Sen's main goal is him.

"Hehe, Governor Deng is so proud that I don't know what Governor Deng is asking us to come this time?" Everyone sat down, and Zhu Baosan, as the spokesperson of the Business Association, took the lead in speaking.

Dunson grinned, supported his hands on the table, looked at the people below, and said in a word: "That's right, I need your money."

"Uh..." Everyone was beaten up by this sentence and couldn't speak. This sentence was too direct. Everyone was silent and thought to themselves, you want money. Now you are the boss of Shanghai, you have the final say, but you also have to tell me how much do you want?

"We know that Governor Deng is fighting for the country and lacks military capital. I wonder how much money Governor Deng needs?" Zhu Baosan asked tentatively.

"All I need all your money, including your door." Deng Sen's words were not astonishing as ever, and this sentence made everyone angry. They were all big names on the market. Deng Sen was really bullying.

"Governor Deng... I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this..." Zhu Baosan calmed down. He didn't believe that this national hero would be such a person. Even if he blackmailed them, his reputation would be destroyed. For a person like Deng Sen, he would not do this at all.

"Haha, I think everyone misunderstood what I mean is that I need everyone's money, people, build a new China, I, northern Anhui, and Britain, France, the United States and Germany, and that is, to borrow 15 million pounds. Plus the 20 million pounds in northern Anhui, I plan to build a huge industrial zone, which covers all places within the control of the Iron Blood Party. I will support all kinds of factories, whether you are machinery or people's livelihood clothing, I support everything. Everyone, now is a huge opportunity. I wonder if you have paid attention to the Western European world, the opportunity for our Chinese nation is here, a chance for the rise of commercial industry is an opportunity for the rise of commercial industries.

Yes, I will invite you here to invite you to invest in northern Jiangsu. I will build the railway to the port of northern Jiangsu within half a year. In addition, through the military government, we will find the technology and machinery you want for you. I believe that with the full support of the government, your career will become better. Of course, if you don’t want to, I will not force you. Don’t be afraid that my Iron Blood Army’s army will not attack their people. Two days later, two days later, maybe what awaits me will be a war, but I will not perish this war. I just want to, after the war, everyone can work with me to build an industrial China.

You are all elites of all business classes. I believe you all understand why the great powers are so powerful, because they have many and huge factories, and where are we in China? Our Chinese government, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the current government's support for commercial industries, is too poor. They directed to ask for funds from you, but did not know how to support you. I believe that there are also business dealings with my businessmen in northern Anhui. I am firmly supportive of business, and can even lend money to government banks. Whether it is funds, technology, or even machinery, we can find it as soon as possible. There is a legal environment there, no

There is blackmail, no miscellaneous taxes, how about it? There is only one opportunity. This is the first time I have invited you in Shanghai, and it is also the last time I have sent you an invitation." Deng Sen has decided that success or failure of his invitation this time is not important. Although these people are elites and have unique vision, as long as they have the guidance of the government and have his business knowledge, the industry and commerce he supports within his control in the first world will cover the entire country. The cooperation of these people is just to make things easier and simpler. After all, the funds of these people are not even less than the funds of the Iron Blood Military Government. They are really rich enough to compete with the country.

Take Zhu Baosan as an example. His total assets are no less than 10 million taels of silver, and the others are not giving in too much, so the energy gathered together is still very large.

"This..." Everyone was about to take out the money with heartache, but unexpectedly, Deng Sen made such a move and hesitated to invite everyone, especially the few with larger assets.

"Governor Deng, if I had produced a truck like Rusong Machinery Factory, the government would pay for it? And it is guaranteed to be advanced?" The first question was Xiang Rusong, who is now the only automobile equipment repair shop in Shanghai, and he can also produce small horsepower engines.

"Then we have to see if the cars you produce can play a role. We will buy any military-related industry as long as they meet the standards, and it is definitely cash." Dengson smiled. The cars he made by himself were definitely much cheaper than buying from a foreign country. As long as they meet the standards, he would certainly be willing to use them.

"Then I need to go to my company's production equipment and personnel to go to northern Anhui, but I have requirements." Xiang Rusong looked at Deng Sen tightly and said to him.

Deng Sen also looked at the other party and said solemnly: "You said it."

"I ask the government to provide technical support, as well as product orders and advance payment, and we manufacture them according to the government's requirements." Xiang Rusong considered it for a while and put forward the conditions. Everyone was also reading Deng Sen's answer.

"Everything is OK, but what is your capital?" Deng Sen nodded and agreed, but continued to ask.

"Our company's capital is 500,000 US dollars." The capital is not very large, but Dunson is very optimistic about it.

"The good government invests one million US dollars to jointly open a China Automobile Manufacturing Company with you. You are the chairman and are responsible for all matters. The government is responsible for machinery procurement and product purchase. How about it? If you agree, we can sign a contract now and sign it with you as the leader of my Iron Blood Party." Dengson is setting an example, using his current credibility as a guarantee.

"Good Governor Deng is really refreshing." Xiang Rusong is only 34 years old and has the passion for hard work. This is an opportunity and a bet, but he did not expect that Deng Sen agreed to his request on the spot and invested one million US dollars. Although the government occupied two-thirds of the shares, he still asked him to manage it. This is a great time to expand.

"There is still that? The opportunity is only for courageous people. As long as you dare to do it, I dare to invest." Deng Sen watched Xiang Rusong walk out and write documents, and he looked at the many businessmen again.

"Governor Deng, are we going to transfer all our assets? Including factory workers?" The workers in this era are actually similar to the previous contracts for selling their bodies. Workers do not have the right to leave the factory freely. If they want to leave, they must compensate the factory for a certain amount of breach of contract fees.

"This can be done at will. I will support you if you are willing to set up a branch in our place, but I will only support it in policy and will not jointly invest with it. Another point is that any cooperation with foreigners in northern Anhui must be carried out under our supervision. Your goods will be sold as you wish, but in wartime, military supplies must be sold to the government, and of course we will buy them at market prices." Deng Sen knew that it was impossible to let them give up Shanghai. Only those with small assets would do this, and those with huge assets would not be willing.

After that, Deng Sen talked with these merchants for a long time and finally reached more than 50 cooperation intentions, but only two large asset owners were willing to move to northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu. Among them, Zhu Lanfang, who was over 60 years old, actually chose to go to northern Anhui, and all industries with total assets of 6 million assets were transferred. This made Deng Sen look at this old man, and Zhu Lanfang also proposed a joint venture intention to do so. This time, Deng Sen was defeated and finally had to combine the same 6 million ocean funds with him. Although he had tens of millions of pounds of government assets, most of the current rulers, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, have to rescue most of the places in the Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, and they have to prepare for war against Japan due to floods. The cost is quite large. He had to be careful.

Deng Sen was very satisfied with the results of the talks. The addition of these people means that the northern Anhui Industrial Zone will grow rapidly, and he must ensure stability there. In a few years, an industrial kingdom will appear on the ancient land of Jiuzhou.

On July 25, Dengsen secretly took German warships to Lianyungang Port. In fact, there were no ports built there at all, only some temporary simple ports were built. The manufacturers who were preparing to relocate were uploaded by various countries rented by Dengsen for delivery, and then landed in from Lianyungang.

In addition to returning from the secret guards, the Third Division disguised itself as an army to guard Deng Sen's return, and crossed Jiangyin through Jingjiang, Jiangyan, Dongtai and the second division of Jiangsu 1st Army in Yancheng, Jiangsu. In fact, this was just a conspiracy. Because he had received a telegram from Huang Xing, Sun Yat-sen really agreed to Bai Wenmo's plan and gathered more than 40,000 people to intercept Deng Sen's return. This time, Deng Sen would severely attack the reputation of the ** Party and carry out a fatal blow to the Jiangsu Army. The first division and one brigade were enough.

Just as Deng Sen was sitting on the return ship, the Japanese people's revenge plan had been drafted. The battle without declaring has always been Japan's specialty. He was preparing to land in Lianyungang without declaring war. Then a hundred thousand troops were heading straight to the base of Iron Blood Army in northern Anhui. For this war, Japan would take three months. During this period, they still argued with Deng Sen every day, but they didn't know that regardless of whether Japan was fighting or not, in case, northern Anhui had begun war mobilization, and the new recruits stepped up training. The army in northern Anhui expanded to 120,000 and northern Jiangsu expanded to 110,000, a total of 230,000 troops were in urgent training. This situation once shocked Yuan Shikai. The 200,000 troops and the Beiyang were only 200,000 troops. Inadvertently, Deng Sen caused a military competition between the two sides.

Since discovering the expansion of the army in northern Anhui, Yuan Shikai immediately ordered the Beiyang province to recruit 50,000 troops and sent people to meet with Yan Xishan, demanding that Yan Xishan obey the central command. In just over half a month, the Beiyang army expanded from 270,000 to 760,000, and forced him to agree to all the requests of the great powers. At the same time, power generation was used to question Deng Sen why the army was expanded, and the Beiyang army in the northern Anhui border area was preparing for war.

At this time, Deng Sen had to send a private telegram to Yuan Shikai, claiming that the expansion of the army was only to resist Japan's revenge. Northern Anhui was a member of the central government. As long as the government did not attack Northern Anhui, northern Anhui would not do anything to the government. Please rest assured.

Although this telegram could not make Yuan Shikai completely at ease, he also learned from clues that the Japanese were carrying out strategic materials. He now only wanted the Japanese to fight against Deng Sen to lose both sides, one was an external enemy and the other was an internal threat. He did not want to see his strength in both.

When August 1st came, the Iron Blood Army Third Division and the 1st Brigade were surrounded by heavy siege in Jiangyan area in eastern Taizhou.
