Chapter 686 Super Rich
The content of the agreement was that the Japanese southern dispatched troops released 52,133 American prisoners of war imprisoned in southern Luzon Island, and allowed the American army to send merchant ships to pick them up and drop them back to the United States.
Gao Jiu agreed to release 13,417 Japanese prisoners of war in the Golden Triangle and allow them to return to Japan.
On Luzon Island, the Plug Mountains in the central area are the highest peak of 2,930 meters above sea level, the south is under the jurisdiction of the Japanese, and the north is under the jurisdiction of the Luzon Anti-Japanese Administrative Committee. Both sides do not invade each other.
Gao Jiu did not offer any excessive conditions this time. For the Japanese, the result was very satisfactory. They believed that they had taken a big advantage because they not only saved the southern region with the richest resources in Luzon, but also regained more than 13,000 veterans with rich combat experience. At this time, the Japanese army was very scarce, and these veterans were simply a timely help for them.
Therefore, the Japanese side expressed appreciation for the results of the negotiations between Kamama Masao and agreed to give Gao Jiu 1 million oceans to express their gratitude.
The Americans were also very satisfied with the results of the negotiations. The 50,000 American prisoners of war have great political significance for the American military and political circles. You should know that behind these 50,000-meter prisoners of war, there are hundreds of thousands of their relatives, and they will often put pressure on the American military and political circles.
Being able to rescue these 50,000 American prisoners of war back not only relieved the pressure on the top leaders of the US military and political leaders, but also won a huge reputation for the top leaders of the US military and political circles. This result is also very satisfactory for them.
The United States is now the richest country in the world, and they are much more generous than the Japanese. According to the conditions that Gao Jiu communicated with Miller and others in advance, the Americans agreed to give Gao Jiu 1 million meters of gold and 3 million meters of gold Miles weapons and equipment and other materials.
Zhu Jianmin, Chen Yuqing, Li Mingquan and others from the Luzon Anti-Japanese Administrative Committee were also satisfied with this result. Because Gao Jiu's arrival helped them seize half of Luzon and liberated millions of Luzon people from the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders.
The negotiations ended quickly and five important Americans, including Miller and the Haibao commando, are also going to return to the United States. Miller invites Gao Jiu to visit the United States.
Gao Jiu agreed happily and came to the United States soon after.
At the port of New York, there were crowds of people, and at least 100,000 people. Most of them were relatives of American prisoners of war, coming to welcome their rescued relatives. Among the crowd were senior government officials from both the military and political circles, police officers responsible for maintaining order, medical rescuers who were preparing to treat the wounded, media reporters, and even military bands, waiting for the arrival of the fleet that transported American prisoners of war.
There was also a young and beautiful Chinese woman among the crowd, Xiao Yatong. She faced the sea, with her hands in a pergola, looking into the distance, her eyes were blurred and her arms were sore.
Standing beside her was Xiao Yuanshan. They came here early in the morning and had been waiting for more than two hours.
The butler standing behind them was worried that they would be too tired and persuaded him: "Master, Miss, you go to the car to rest for a while? I'm here to guard the boat. When the boat comes, I'll call you."
To be honest, Xiao Yuanshan is older after all, and he is really tired. But when he saw that his daughter had no intention of leaving, he continued to wait with her.
"Here, come, the boat is coming." Suddenly someone pointed to the distance and shouted.
When everyone looked at it, they saw some small black dots appearing on the sea level, and the crowd suddenly became turbulent.
The black spots are getting bigger and bigger, and the shape of the merchant ship is getting clearer and clearer.
The band on the dock played cheerful music.
People all hope to see their relatives as soon as possible. They unconsciously rushed forward and the order became a little confused.
The police officers responsible for maintaining order had to shout repeatedly with tweeters, asking the crowd to keep order.
The merchant ship finally arrived at the edge of the dock and began to dock gradually. Before the ship could stop, the deck was already full of rescued Americans.
They were looking for their relatives on the boat, and some people waved to them and shouted when they saw their relatives.
When the family saw their relatives, they waved to them desperately and shouted. Many people saw their relatives, and smiles of surprise appeared on their faces, but tears couldn't help but flowed.
Those who did not see their relatives looked very nervous, afraid that what awaited them would be painful disappointment.
The rescued people began to get off the boat, and the people who found their relatives flocked to them, hugging each other tightly.
Those who have not found their relatives have tiptoed, stretched their necks, and desperately searched for their relatives.
Xiao Yatong also wanted to get close to the dock, but there were too many people in front of her and she couldn't squeeze through.
She had received a telegram and knew that Gao Jiu was on the boat, but she still stood on tiptoe and watched the boat, hoping to see her dear lover whom she had been thinking about day and night earlier.
Xiao Yatong waited for a long time, and only after all the rescued people were disembarked, she saw Gao Jiu appear on the deck.
Xiao Yatong waved to him desperately. Although Gao Jiu had excellent eyesight, there were too many people on the dock, so he did not see Xiao Yatong and Xiao Yuanshan.
Not long after, Gao Jiu got off the boat, surrounded by Miller, George, Taylor, Columbia and others. The senior officials from the American military and political circles who came to greet him came forward and shook hands with them affectionately and hugged them.
Xiao Yatong and Xiao Yuanshan walked towards Gao Jiu under the escort of several bodyguards. Finally, they arrived near Gao Jiu, but saw that Gao Jiu had been surrounded by officials from both the military and political circles of the United States, as well as a large number of journalists.
On the temporary rostrum built on the dock, a senior American official enthusiastically delivered a speech welcoming the return of the American prisoners of war to the United States.
Then, he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time our relatives were able to return to the United States from the faraway Luzon Island to reunite with their families. We would like to thank the great efforts of the United States and the military, and an international friend from faraway China who made great contributions to our relatives' home. Let us welcome Mr. Gao Jiu from China with warm applause."
Americans are not unfamiliar with Gao Jiu's name. Over the years, you can hear Gao Jiu's news from time to time. The Chinese group in the United States are proud to have an anti-Japanese hero like Gao Jiu. The media they possess often report news related to Gao Jiu.
There were many Chinese people in the crowd below, who came specifically to welcome their hero Gao Jiu. When they saw Gao Jiu, they couldn't help but burst into warm cheers.
The families of the American prisoners of war also received news that this time, their relatives would not be able to return to the United States without Gao Jiu's help. They were also full of gratitude to Gao Jiu. When they saw Gao Jiu, they couldn't help cheering loudly.
Gao Jiu stood on the rostrum, smiling and waved to the crowd affectionately.
Xiao Yatong looked at Gao Jiu who was surrounded by people, and was extremely proud. She shed tears and waved to Gao Jiu desperately.
The cheers of the crowd lasted for a few minutes, and the host waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and asked Gao Jiu to make a speech.
At this time, Gao Jiu seemed to have not heard it, his eyes passed over the crowd, as if searching for something, and then he smiled and waved his arms.
Everyone followed Gao Jiu and turned their attention to a beautiful Chinese woman in the crowd.
An American official muttered a few words in the host's ear. The host nodded with a smile and said loudly: "Please give in and let that lady come."
People flashed out a passage, Xiao Yatong walked through the crowd, came to the rostrum, and walked towards Gao Jiu.
Although Xiao Yatong was reserved, when she saw Gao Jiu spread her arms to her, she couldn't help but run over and pounced into Gao Jiu's arms.
Gao Jiu hugged Xiao Yatong tightly, and then kissed her lips.
Gao Jiu's performance was completely in line with the habits of the Americans. Everyone couldn't help but applaud and applaud, and the whistle sounded.
The reporters in the audience prefer this scene. Xiao Yatong's appearance is enough to add icing on the cake to their news reports.
They held their cameras at Gao Jiu and Xiao Yatong, and the flashes kept flashing.
After more than an hour of hard work, Gao Jiu was able to follow Xiao Yatong and his daughter to their villa in Manhattan.
In the living room, Gao Jiu respectfully saluted Xiao Yuanshan. He did not call him father-in-law, but father.
In his mind, Xiao Yuanshan is not only his father-in-law, but also his father.
Xiao Yuanshan was very pleased and felt very glad that he had such an excellent son and son-in-law for a small act of kindness. He felt that this was the most correct thing he had done in his life.
Xiao Yuanshan was an understanding person. When he saw his daughter looking at him, he exchanged greetings for a few words and stood up to say goodbye.
Xiao Yatong held Gao Jiu's arm and took him to his room. The two of them warmly expressed their feelings to each other.
Gao Jiu came to the United States and caused a huge sensation. For several days, a huge photo of him was hung on Times Square in New York. Media coverage was overwhelming, with news related to Gao Jiu. Various invitations and interviews were arranged in full swing. Gao Jiu had to refuse most of the invitations to have time to accompany Xiao Yatong.
Next, Gao Jiu selectively accepted the invitation, most of which were business people related to the company business hosted by Xiao Yatong.
Xiao Yatong accompanied Gao Jiu to various banquets every day. Gao Jiu was romantic and handsome, Xiao Yatong was very charming, and a pair of golden boys and jade girls became a beautiful landscape in the social circle of New York.
That morning, Xiao Yatong's secretary reported to Gao Jiu and Xiao Yatong. Xiao Yatong refused the invitations from all aspects just received, and Xiao Yatong refused the dozens of copies in the previous ones. When the secretary read a person's name, Gao Jiu became interested and said that he must meet this person.
On a luxury yacht, a young and beautiful blonde girl was enjoying the warm sea breeze with a tall and handsome man in her thirties.
This young woman is Milana, a popular actress in Hollywood in the United States. She has starred in many famous movies in the 1930s and 1940s and was very popular.
The man in front of him was also a legendary figure known as Howard Hughes, who is also a household name in the US.
Howard Hughes is a famous investor, pilot, aviation engineer, film producer, philanthropist, and a super rich man and public lover in the United States. Audrey Hepburn, a famous actress who once starred in the Roman Holidays, was also his girlfriend. Everyone knows it in the United States.
Milana gently shook the goblet with red wine in her hand, and she asked curiously: "Dear, why are you interested in a Chinese from the far east?
These days, I have read a lot of reports about him. Is this Chinese really that amazing?"
Howard Hughes took out the cigar from his mouth and said, "Mr. Gao Jiu is an amazing Chinese. I have paid attention to him a few years ago. He is the Chinese god of war and has wiped out countless Japanese people. It is said that he can speak all languages in the world. He can drive, control all mechanical equipment and various weapons. He is also a master designer. The b24 Liberator bomber and many other weapons that are being produced in the United States are designed by him. He also invented the famous penicillin. It seems that there is nothing in the world that he will not be able to do except have children."
Milana said in surprise: "It's simply incredible. How could there be such a magical person in the world?"
Howard continued: "Not only that, he is also very business-minded. The wealth of the Golden Triangle business empire he created is immeasurable. Even in the United States, he may be called a super rich man."
Milana said in a fascination: "After you say this, I want to see this legendary figure as soon as possible."
At this moment, the captain of the yacht said, "Mr. Howard, the guest you invited is here."
Howard and Milana looked up and saw a speedboat sailing in the distance.
Not long after, the speedboat arrived in front of the yacht, and Howard and Milana stood up to greet the guests.
They saw four people on the speedboat, including their old friend Carter Rogers and his wife from Volty Company, next to them was a pair of outstanding young men. The man was handsome and the lady was as beautiful as a flower. They must be the legendary Chinese Gao Jiu and his girlfriend Xiao Yatong.
After Gao Jiu and others got on the yacht, Carter Rogers introduced them. Howard shook hands with them politely, hugged them, and then greeted them and sat down.
