After exporting a large amount of weapons, equipment and strategic materials to the British, Japanese, German alliances and other countries in the Axial camp, Yan Guangle was almost more than 10 years younger.1(1) Because these exports not only exchanged for a large amount of hard currency like gold, but also made a lot of profits.

Of course, these are not important. The most important thing is... Don't forget that the largest arsenals and other steel mills in China are almost all opened by Yan Guang, so the more you sell in China, the more Yan Guang sells, the more you will earn...

Although Yan Guang has become the veritable richest man in the world, his daily luxury life can be supported by his current family business and should be very indifferent to money, but he still feels very happy when he sees his wealth rise...

However, although Yan Guang is very happy now, he may not be able to live in other places.

The streets of Hong Kong are filled with tension brought by war, and the crowded crowds have also been reduced a lot due to war relationships.

Especially after the outbreak of the war, the Japanese were in a state of panic in Indochina and the Nanyang Islands, and the British and Chinese living in Hong Kong were in a state of panic. You should know that Hong Kong is a British colony...

As the Japanese are getting bigger and bigger, more and more people are moving to the mainland.

Let’s not talk about how fucked the “some” Hong Kong people in later generations were. At least at this time, Hong Kong people still recognized their Chinese identity. Therefore, the calls for returning to their motherland have always been high in Hong Kong, but the British government has not allowed it.

At this time, seeing that the Japanese army might come at any time, Hong Kong Chinese who still think they are Chinese naturally moved back to the mainland.

Anyway, these Hong Kong people have been reborn for three generations, and their ancestral homes are almost all from the mainland, so now they just think that they are going back to their hometowns. Moreover, the living environment in the mainland is also very good. The most important thing is that at least in the eyes of the world, China will not be threatened by war in a short period of time...

Of course, not everyone can go back to their hometown. After all, there are many people's industries in Hong Kong and they cannot give up their industries and go back to the mainland. Moreover, the Japanese at this time were not too cruel to the residents of the occupied land as in history. Even in Indochina, they only forced local people to exploit resources to exchange equipment with the Chinese.

In addition, the Japanese are also considered yellow people, and their relationship with the National Socialist Government has been quite good in recent years. So naturally, many Hong Kong people have fantasies about the Japanese.

However, the most important thing is that most Hong Kong Chinese have no money to return to the mainland...

You should know that moving is not something that can be done by talking about it, it also requires money. How can you settle down if you don’t have money?

If you don’t have money, it’s not impossible for the whole family to starve to death…

However, compared with Chinese people, the British are the ones who are most terrified.

After all, with the relationship between China and Japan, the identity of both yellow people, and the current national strength of China, Japan will not do anything to the Chinese living in Hong Kong. After all, Hong Kong is under China's nose. If the Japanese really do, they are purely irritating the Chinese.

But the British are different. You should know that they are white people. Although they had a good relationship with Japan in the past, that was something decades ago, plus some of the things they heard about in the Nanyang Islands...

If the Japanese really came, the Chinese might be fine. But they would probably be miserable...

So the British who live in Hong Kong plan to return to the UK by boat, at least flee to India by boat. At least so far, India has not been attacked by war, but...

"Damn it, have the Thais conquered Singapore?"

Just in a restaurant, a British man said angrily as he looked at the newspaper that just came out this morning.

When the British said this, everyone else looked at him.

"What? Is Singapore already falling?"

Walking in front of him, a strange British man said anxiously.

"Yes. Is Singapore already lost?"

Another person also hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

No wonder they were so anxious. You should know that there were only two ways back to the UK. One was to go from the Pacific to the United States and then to the UK. The problem was that the route to the Pacific had been blocked by the Japanese. {http:

"yes…"

The British man holding the newspaper said in a panic.

Singapore has also been captured, so it would be difficult to go home...

"What if I go to Australia first?"

One person suggested.

"Not even though the Japanese have not yet captured Australia, they have blocked their way to Australia. If they do this, they are no different from falling into the trap..."

"so…"

In fact, there is another road that no one has ever said, that is, to avoid going to mainland China. If you have money, you can live in mainland China for a while. You can even go to the Caucasus through the Dilan Railway and the Central Asia Railway, and then take a boat back to Europe while redirecting to Syria...

The problem is that it takes a lot of money to do this, and how many Westerners who go to Asia to make gold are rich...

———————————————————

British people in Hong Kong have headaches, and Churchill in London has headaches too.

Although British colonies are spread all over the world, the three cities with the largest number of British people in the Far East are Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore. Of course, Shanghai is fine. Even if they give the Japanese a courageous courage, they dare not come to seek abuse. Of course, if they are allowed to occupy Nanyang and Australia for more than ten or twenty years, it would be a different matter.

Singapore fell after being besieged by the Thais for more than half a month. Fortunately, the Thais' methods are not as tyrannical as the Japanese, so there is no big problem.

Only Hong Kong...

Hong Kong can be said to be one of the most important colonies of the British in Asia. Naturally, there are many British people in Hong Kong. Reminding the atrocities that the Japanese have done in Indochina and the Nanyang Islands...

Churchill also thought of letting the Chinese come forward and persuade the Japanese not to attack Hong Kong. After all, although Hong Kong is a British colony, most of the people living there are Chinese.

But not long after Churchill had such an idea, bad news came from MI6...

"The Chinese are preparing to pass a resolution to bring all Chinese living in Hong Kong to the country and properly arrange it by the local government..."

In history, Hong Kong's population was more than 600,000 in 1920, and by 1940, it was more than 1.7 million. Is it possible that it has increased by more than 30 times in just 20 years? Of course, it is possible, because China was in a state of war at that time. Naturally, there were many Chinese people who were facing the Japanese invasion and avoiding disasters. Moreover, China was in a mess of warlords in the early years, so the population of Hong Kong was easy to understand.

However, China at this time was not China in history. Without Chinese people to avoid disaster, the population of Hong Kong at this time was only 700,000 to 800,000.

Although seven or eight hundred thousand is not small, this number can be reduced a lot after excluding British, French, American, third brother, Vietnamese, etc.

In this case, it is absolutely no problem to accommodate refugees from Hong Kong.

Of course, this is because all the Chinese in Hong Kong are still "Chinese" Yan Guang did this. If they were all yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana people from later generations, Yan Guang would not bother to pay attention to their lives.

You should know that in later generations, those Chinese are more cruel to Chinese than foreigners...

However, Yan Guang never thought that he would really move all the Chinese back to the mainland. Yan Guang did this just a means. A means to force the British...

———————————————————

Churchill was not clear about Yan Guang's thoughts. In his opinion, he moved the Chinese back to the mainland just because the Chinese didn't want to care about Hong Kong affairs.

"If this is the case, what should the expatriates trapped in Hong Kong do..."

Churchill was having a headache when he thought of this. Some cabinet members once proposed that the British government provide funds and requested the National Socialist government to properly place the British in Hong Kong in China.

But if you do this, the money will be spent, and the only amount of money left in the UK has been used to purchase arms from China and the United States...

However, what Churchill didn't know was that he had a headache. The Japanese had a headache more than him.

You should know that Hong Kong and Macau are just under the eyes of the Japanese, and Indochina and Nanyang, which are farther away, have fought. Why didn’t Hong Kong and Macau touch?

Because Chinese...

Although Hong Kong and Macau are colonies of the British and Portuguese, don’t forget that these two places are not sold to the British, not to mention that most of the people living there are Chinese.

Japan has always been a small country with no idle places. However, these two places are too sensitive, so the Japanese have to consider it...

Moreover, these two places will definitely be returned to others in the future. So the Japanese are somewhat uninterested, but they only have a British colony under their noses. The Japanese will definitely be unhappy.

However, just when the Japanese and British were having a headache, Yan Guang's special envoy found the Japanese because he hoped that the Japanese could help him with a small favor...

Very small busy...

It's really just a small busy...

Yan Guang just hopes that the Japanese can send a few warships to the coast of Hong Kong for a walk...

After all, Yan Guang didn't want the Japanese to occupy Hong Kong, even if they would return it later, so he planned to take Hong Kong back from the British first. However, unlike the orders worth 10 million pounds were used to exchange Jiaozhou Bay, Yan Guang no longer needs to do this now...

So Yan Guang planned to use the power of the Japanese to force the British to return Hong Kong...

Of course, if the British were just using the Japanese to threaten the UK, the British might not be willing to return Hong Kong, so Yan Guang also needs to move some other methods...

For example...

“Exchange Act…”

Of course, if you change your name, you might be more familiar with it...

“Lease Act…”

Historically, the lease bill (lendleasep)

am) is a bill passed by the US Congress in the early days of World War II. The purpose is to provide war supplies to allies while the United States is not involved in the war. The lease bill makes the United States a "arsambar for democratic countries." (There is a version of the Iron Ambition that is this o!)

The bill came into effect on March 11, 1941, and was Case No. 1776, authorizing the US President to "sell, transfer, exchange, lease, lend, or deliver any defense materials to governments that the US President considers to be crucial to US national defense." The lease bill changed the original practice of requiring cash transactions in military supplies and also changed the meaning of the original "neutral country". The bill originally authorized the president to lend no more than $1.3 billion of supplies. President Roosevelt used this case in October 1941 to provide more than $1 billion in aid to the UK. Before the bill was passed, the United States had provided destroyers to the UK and Canada in 1940 through a base lease agreement reached with the UK in exchange for the use of British bases in the Western Hemisphere.

The Lease Act had a direct impact on the Allies' victory in World War II. Especially before the United States joined the war in December 1941, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and other allies were at a disadvantage in the production of strategic materials. After the United States officially joined the war, the Lease Act continued to provide supplies to the Allies until 1944. The countries that received Lease Act included the Commonwealth countries (accounting for about 60%, about 58% after adjustment). Among them, the United Kingdom (accounting for about 45%, about 40% after adjustment), the Soviet Union (accounting for about 22%, including the Commonwealth countries, including about 32% of the total proportion), Free France, the Republic of China, etc., a total of 38 countries, with a total value of 50 billion US dollars (1940 currency value).

Of course, Yan Guang’s exchange bill is a real exchange, not just a loan.

It was only the end of 1940. Not to mention the passage of the US loan lent bill, it had never even been proposed. In this case, Britain could only trade in cash against China and the US...

Cash transactions…

You should know that the current major countries implement the gold standard system. Of course, there are still some differences between the gold nugget standard and the gold exchange standard system, but they all belong to the gold standard system.

Therefore, the so-called cash transaction is worse than a cash "gold" transaction, especially in China, under Yan Guang's request, he will not let go of money...

Britain was already very hurt by the First World War. Because of China's sudden rise and seizing interests, its economic recovery was not as good as in history. Under this circumstance, the only amount of funds the British government had was taken out to buy arms. However, if this continues...

The British cannot make unlimited money through "secrets"...
To be continued...
