Chapter 780 I can't leave Mr. Gao
General George got on the yacht and sat opposite Gao Jiu. Li Shasha poured him a glass of wine.
George was very gentlemanly. He was not in a hurry to explain his purpose. He first chatted with Gao Jiu for a while.
Gao Jiu knew that he would not run to the sea for no reason, and there must be something important to discuss with him.
He was not in a hurry and continued to talk to George about fishing experience.
George finally couldn't hold back his anger. He glanced at Li Sasha with his eyes, obviously not wanting Li Sasha to be present.
Li Shasha is a shrewd man who understands what George means, but she does not plan to leave because she knows that George is the representative of the British military and comes to find Gao Jiu, there must be something difficult for her.
Li Shasha was unwilling to let Gao Jiu go with them to take risks.
Speaking of his heart, Gao Jiu was unwilling to get involved in their affairs. He simply said, "General George, just say whatever you have."
George said: "The British army intends to recapture Malaysia and Singapore, and hopes that Mr. Gao can send troops to assist the British army and fight against the Japanese army."
At the beginning, Gao Jiu thought that the British would go to Germany to help them blow up the missile factory in the southern suburbs of Berlin. Gao Jiu would never do this.
Nowadays, Gao Jiu's family has great achievements. If the British still treat him as an ordinary special forces soldier, they will look down on him too much. If the British really make such a request, Gao Jiu will refuse on the spot and give them a look.
Li Shasha originally thought George would make such a request, but she would never agree.
The purpose of her stay was to be afraid that Gao Jiu would be embarrassed to speak, so she would refuse for Gao Jiu.
I heard that Gao Jiu was going to send troops to the Malay Peninsula to fight, but this seemed not too much, so Li Shasha didn't say anything and asked Gao Jiu to make a decision by herself.
In fact, the British military really had the idea of letting Gao Jiu go to Germany, and later felt that Gao Jiu's current status was too high and it was inappropriate to make such a request.
However, Gao Jiu rarely comes to the UK. The British still hopes that Gao Jiu can help them solve some major problems. After discussion, they believe that the most convenient thing for Gao Jiu to do is to send troops to the Malay Peninsula. I guess Gao Jiu would not refuse.
Gao Jiu pondered for a moment, but shook his head slightly.
George was very disappointed. He asked in confusion: "Mr. Gao, it is very convenient to send troops from the Golden Triangle to the Malay Peninsula. Are you still embarrassed?"
The Malay Peninsula is the prominent part of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia, with a total of four countries, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia and Singapore.
With Gao Jiu's current strength, it is indeed very convenient to send troops to Malaysia from Thailand and Myanmar, but Gao Jiu has never made this idea.
The Malay Peninsula has a long and narrow terrain and surrounded by the sea on three sides. Any part of the island is vulnerable to attacks by the Japanese Navy, especially the Japanese Navy's aviation forces, which take off from an aircraft carrier and the combat radius can cover the entire Malay Peninsula.
Gao Jiu's troops did not have the cover of the navy, and under such terrain conditions, they did not have the advantage during combat and were easily susceptible to huge casualties.
If Gao Jiu commands a large group of anti-Japanese troops to enter Malaysia and the Japanese army blocks the border between Malaysia, Thailand and Myanmar, the anti-Japanese troops will have no way to retreat, and there is even a danger of the entire army being destroyed.
Besides, what are the benefits of helping the British army conquer Malaysia and Singapore? Gao Jiu is definitely unwilling to get into this muddy water.
Gao Jiu said: "I cannot agree with this matter. The Japanese navy is too powerful. Without the cover of the navy, it is difficult to be sure of winning."
Before George came, the British Bronze Commander had already discussed it, and they guessed that Gao Jiu might be worried about the Japanese Navy.
He said: "Mr. Gao, you can rest assured that we have contacted the American Navy and they will dispatch the navy to deal with the Japanese navy. You just need to concentrate on dealing with the Japanese army."
George was really sure of this, because the Battle of Midway had passed, and the strength of the Japanese navy in the Pacific was gradually declining. The US Navy had already gained an advantage and was indeed sure to eliminate the threat from the Japanese Navy to the Malay Peninsula.
After George finished speaking, he looked at Gao Jiu with anticipation.
Gao Jiu still shook his head and said, "I can't agree to this matter. The Japanese army is very strong in the Malay Peninsula, and I am not sure to win."
Seeing Gao Jiu's firm attitude, George was very disappointed and quickly stood up to say goodbye.
Li Shasha smiled and said, "Brother Jiu, you did it right. We don't care about their messy things. You can come to the UK for a rare trip. Let me accompany you for a good time."
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go back too. You have an appointment with your father. I have something to discuss with you."
At the family dinner, Gao Jiu asked: "Father-in-law, do you have any business you want to intervene in London?"
Sir Li is already very satisfied with his current business, and he said he has nothing to interfere anymore.
Li Shasha knew that the reason why Gao Jiu said this must have seen some major business opportunities again.
She said: "Brother Jiu, what kind of business do you want us to participate in?"
Gao Jiu said: "When you were in Hong Kong, didn't you invest in electricity and water?"
Speaking of this, Sir Li looked sad. Public facilities such as electricity and water were very profitable in Hong Kong before, and he worked hard to get in.
The war broke out and he led his family to flee Hong Kong. The electricity and water affairs were taken over by the Japanese for free, and he suffered a lot of compensation.
He shook his head and said, "I never want to do such a thing again."
Gao Jiu said: "If the Japanese withdrew from Hong Kong and Hong Kong resumed its previous prosperity, what are you willing to do?"
Sir Lee said, "Of course I'm willing, but who knows when the war will end?"
Gao Jiu said: "As long as you are willing, it's fine. Don't worry, I will find a way to help you gain control of this after the war."
Sir Li was not very interested in such unknown and distant things, so he ambiguously said "hmm".
Gao Jiu continued: "What I mean to you is just one aspect. Are you interested in London's electricity and water?"
Sir Li shook his head directly and said, "I haven't considered it yet."
Now it is a war period, and electricity and water are fully in the hands of Zheng's Mansion in the UK. The original private investors are firmly trapped, and they are too late to run away.
At this time, Sir Li went to acquire shares in this area, and those people were eager to take action quickly. Besides, even if Sir Li became the major shareholder, he would not count on the electricity price and water price of such a state-controlled enterprise. The supply of water and electricity must be carried out according to the Zheng Mansion's plan. It would be meaningless to participate.
Gao Jiu said: "What if the war ends soon? Let me tell you, once the war is over, Britain will fully restore the policies implemented before the war in terms of economic policies, and will relax in many aspects, especially in terms of public infrastructure, and will increase support. If electricity and water are first controlled in their hands, it will definitely be a huge profit at that time."
At this time, London would be bombed by the German Air Force from time to time, and there was no sign of the end of the war.
Sir Lee said perfunctorily: "You make sense, but wait and see."
Gao Jiu knew what he was waiting for, and wanted to see the development of the war and the allies gained a clear advantage.
He said, "Can't wait any longer. Everyone will understand it by then. Will it be your turn?"
Sir Lee asked, “When do you think the war will end?”
Gao Jiu said: "From now on, no more than two years. In less than a year, the situation of the war will be clear."
Although Sir Li trusts Gao Jiu very much, he is old after all and is unwilling to take risks in such a situation where he cannot see the prospects clearly.
Li Shasha had absolute trust in Gao Jiu, and she said, "Brother Jiu, I believe in you. I am willing to invest in doing such a thing."
Most of the Li family's business is now managed by Li Sasha. When Sir Li saw that Li Sasha had made up his mind, he no longer objected.
He asked, "How do you talk about this matter with the Zheng Mansion in the UK?"
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "You don't have to go to them, they will come to ask you. You can just put forward such conditions at that time."
The reason why Gao Jiu is so sure is because he understands the situation on the Malay Peninsula.
In 1942, the Japanese army occupied Malaysia and Singapore. They were resisted by local people, especially the local Chinese organizations fought tenaciously with the Japanese army, and made great sacrifices and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army.
Due to restrictions on Singapore's terrain, the Japanese army sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress the local people's resistance.
In Malaysia, due to the relatively vast territory and the large number of people, the anti-Japanese war has been burning, involving a lot of energy from the Japanese army.
Not only that, the British were unwilling to accept that the Japanese army occupied their colonies. They funded the local anti-Japanese armed forces, and a certain number of British troops were also active in the local area.
With the continuous development of the Pacific War, the Japanese Navy suffered several consecutive defeats, and its control over Southeast Asia was greatly weakened. The British wanted to restore their rule, so they increased their investment in the Malay Peninsula.
Not long ago, the 18th Japanese Division stationed in Malaysia was transferred to Vietnam, and the British took the opportunity to land in Malaysia, hoping to regain Malaysia.
Now the 18th Division of the Japanese Army has returned to Malaysia, which has put a huge pressure on the British, so they hope that Gao Jiu will send troops to help them occupy Malaysia.
Gao Jiu concluded that the British would come to ask for their own things. Since they had rejected them in person, they would definitely ask Sir Li to come forward, which was the best time for Sir Li to make the conditions.
As Gao Jiu expected, after George returned, he reported Gao Jiu's attitude to the military.
Based on the information provided by the intelligence department, the military believes that as long as Gao Jiu is given sufficient conditions, Gao Jiu will definitely agree.
In order to avoid Gao Jiu's direct rejection, they accompanied George to find Sir Lee through friends who were familiar with Sir Lee through the business world.
Sir Li saw that Gao Jiu's analysis was indeed correct, which made him even more convinced Gao Jiu's judgment on the future.
He said that his daughter was responsible for this matter and asked them to go directly to Li Shasha.
The condition proposed by Li Shasha was to acquire most of the shares of London Electric Power and Water. The original shareholders were eager to throw out this hot potato. So with the cooperation of relevant departments of the Zhengzhou government in the UK, Li Shasha controlled London Electric Power and Water.
Since he had achieved his goal, Gao Jiu agreed. He negotiated with the British military and agreed on the day to send troops.
In order to ensure the convenience of communication between the two parties, George accompanied Gao Jiu to return to the Golden Triangle.
After George arrived at the Golden Triangle, he flew directly to Yangon City and met the British Governor to Myanmar.
He first negotiated with the Governor, hoping that the British Governor to Myanmar could send troops to Malaysia.
He still couldn't believe Gao Jiu, hoping that the British army would take the dominant position in this battle to attack Malaysia.
Unexpectedly, the Governor refused his request and said that everything here must be followed by Gao Jiu's arrangements. If Gao Jiu did not agree to send troops, he would never send troops to Malaysia.
George felt very depressed. Unexpectedly, the British military's orders were not as good as Gao Jiu's words.
The British Governor to Myanmar has this right to refuse the requests of the British military, because according to the British Zhengfu colonial system, the British Governor to Myanmar is only responsible for Myanmar's affairs and he has the right to refuse requests for military service beyond Myanmar.
After all, George came on behalf of the British military, and the Governor could not help but give him face.
He patiently introduced Gao Jiu's influence in this area and the British Governor's Office in Myanmar's dependence on the Golden Triangle.
Tell him that without Gao Jiu's help, the British army would not be able to survive in Myanmar, let alone attacking the Japanese army in Malaysia.
Without Gao Jiu, this battle would not have been possible, and the British army would have suffered a crushing defeat, and even Myanmar would have been lost.
George was skeptical, not understanding whether this was the refusal of Mr. Governor or some other reason.
The governor asked, "Did you understand the situation of the Golden Triangle after you arrived at the Golden Triangle?"
George shook his head and said, "Not yet, I'll come to see you directly."
The Governor said, "This is how I want to visit Mr. Gao. You go to the Golden Triangle with me. After you visit the Golden Triangle, you will understand."
The British Governor to Myanmar accompanied George to visit the Golden Triangle. George discovered that the prosperity of the Golden Triangle had exceeded that of London, and the powerful strength contained in the Golden Triangle made him deeply shocked.
He accepted the advice of the British Governor to Myanmar and obeyed Gao Jiu's arrangements in everything.
