Here, Yan Xue chatted with Huizi.

On the other side, Qin Di walked into the next room and talked to Qin Hanxu.

"Uncle San, I came here this time and brought more than 10,000 tons of sugar. Please help me find a warehouse and let me send the sugar in."

Qin Hanxu said in surprise: "The ship is parked in the outer sea? I should arrange this matter. If the military inspects it, I will trouble you."

Qin Di smiled slightly: "Don't worry. Just find the warehouse."

"I set up an import and export trading company, and there is a large warehouse not far from here. Because the sea is blocked by Americans, the warehouse is still empty. I will take you to see it later."

"Give me an address and give me the key."

"Can you find a place? Let me tell you, from here, there is a bay, 800 meters away, the white house is the office of the trading company, and the green house is the warehouse..."

"I understand. Uncle San, will it cause you trouble if so much sugar comes in all at once?"

"It's okay, I've made the plan."

Afterwards, the uncle and nephew talked about specific arrangements and Japan's economic situation.

Japan is a country with extremely poor resources.

The protracted war of resistance between the Chinese military and civilians not only caused heavy damage to the Japanese army, but also consumed a large amount of Japanese supplies, but also put the Japanese economy on a heavy burden.

The harsh reality forced Japan to revise its material mobilization plan in June 1938, comprehensively compressing the supply of materials that are not related to military demand, and requiring the citizens to implement ten major measures such as saving, ration, recycling, and simple life during wartime, and stipulated that 32 materials such as steel, milling iron, gold, silver, copper, and lead should be imposed on enhanced use restrictions.

In 1939, a severe drought occurred in Kansai region of Japan and North Korea, which was colonized by Japan, and severe floods occurred in Taiwan, China, which was also a Japanese colony. The poor harvest of agriculture forced Japan to import more than 200 million yen of grain in particular.

After the War of Resistance Against Japan entered a stalemate stage, Japan controlled the economic lifeline of the vast occupied areas, implemented colonial development of its strategic resources, and at the same time carried out crazy plunders based on different regions and industries, in an attempt to achieve the goal of "fighting for war".

By 1942, steel produced in Northeast China accounted for nearly one-third of Japan's total production, and aluminum accounted for nearly 40% of Japan's required amount. Among the 38 types of military supplies required by Japan, 14 were supplied by Northeast China; most of the equipment and materials needed by the Japanese invaders relied on the Northeast to provide.

In North China, Japan's economic strategy is to make up for the shortcomings of Northeast China.

In central China, Japan established the "Central China Revitalization Company" in 1938 to coordinate the economic plunder of the region. The company controlled the production and sales of aquatic products, silk, coal, iron and electricity industries in central China, and also directly implemented the plunder of the Chinese people.

After the July 7 Incident, Japan implemented strict "control" and monopoly on agricultural products in Northeast China, and Chinese people were designated as "economic prisoner" when eating rice.

In the early days of the Pacific War, Japan quickly occupied Southeast Asia and controlled a large number of strategic resources. Among them, the rubber production in Malaya and Borneo accounted for 85% of the world's total output, and the tin production in Malaya and Dutch East India accounted for 60% of the world's tin production. At that time, the Dutch East India produced 8 million liters of oil annually, which could fully meet Japan's needs. However, due to the serious shortage of ship tonnage, in 1942, Japan's materials transported from Southeast Asia could only complete 60% of the plan.

Since then, the Allies have thoroughly analyzed the characteristics of the Japanese economy and attached great importance to the destruction of Japan's maritime transportation lines to stifle the Japanese war economy. The US Navy's submarine force has made attacking Japanese transport ships its main combat mission.

Faced with the huge ship transport gap after the war, Japan adopted a simplified process and lowered standards to build transport ships. From the outbreak of the Pacific War to the defeat and surrender, Japan built a total of 3.97 million tons of new ships, while the losses of the ships during the same period reached 8.83 million tons, more than twice the former.

The lack of ships made it impossible for Japan to transport all the materials plundered from the occupied areas back to the country. In 1941, Japan's maritime transportation volume was 47 million tons, which was reduced to 30,000 tons in 1942, and it dropped sharply to 6 million tons in 1945.

It is precisely because of this that prices in Japan have soared sharply, and some things have risen by 1,000 times!

People have a hard time. Consumables like white sugar have a lot of demand and there is no shortage of goods outside, but they just cannot be shipped in.

The Japanese military said it was a unified purchase of materials, but in fact it was already overwhelmed! They turned a blind eye to smuggling. No matter what, as long as it could be transported in, even if it was a black market route, it would be good to buy it.

Qin Di told Uncle San that he would take advantage of the soaring prices to take advantage of the 13,000 tons of sugar, and wait until Japan was defeated and surrendered, and then exchange it for corporate shares. Whether it is absolute or relatively controlling, even 1% of the shares of a large company.

He specially made a list, including Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Sony, Panasonic, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Hitachi...

Although he has listed a lot, he is just an alternative. Which one he invests in depends on the specific situation.

In the evening, Qin Xi came home from school.

After not seeing each other for a few years, she has grown into a girl. I still remember that Yan Xue, the sister who once carried her to Qingcheng Mountain, was very kind to Yan Xue.

Yan Xue asked her how she was doing at school.

"It's okay." Qin Xi seemed to remember something when she said this, and couldn't help but shivering.

After dinner, Huizi called Yan Xue over and told her one thing: "In another two or three years, Ah Xi will be in high school. Some courses include male and female students, including teachers, who will attend classes without wearing clothes."

Yan Xue was surprised: "Why is this? Is it so scarce that I can't afford to wear clothes?"

Huizi explained: "In 1932, a "Higher Girls' School Order" was issued. In women's high schools, "self-cultivation classes" and "citizen classes". The purpose of this is to send these female students to the battlefield.

Some people believe that nude classes can train your spirit and will, and when you go to the battlefield, you will feel no shame and can improve your combat effectiveness.

In January 1938, the "Mother and Child Protection Law" was issued, and the mother and child breeding policy was formulated, and the slogan of "work hard to reproduce! Hard to give birth!" was publicly called for the slogan of "work hard to reproduce!", and all classes in Japan were immersed in the war fanaticism.

There is also a phenomenon of selling daughters in Japan, and the girls who were sold have no complaints.

Not only is no one despised a girl when she is sold for her family, but she will even be praised by people. There is a woman who sells herself to support her mother and younger brother in Japan, and she has been officially commended for her unique filial piety. Some even believe that being prostitutes is noble because they sell their bodies for the sake of filial piety."

When Yan Xue heard this, she felt her scalp numb and said, "Otherwise, I will bring Qin Xi back to China?"

Unexpectedly, Huizi nodded: "Yes, I'm just about to do this. I originally wanted to live in Demon City for a few years, but your uncle always made excuses to say that the business here cannot be left!"

Yan Xue said: "Don't worry, Qin Zhan is still in Chongqing. She will take care of her sister and there will be no problems. Moreover, there are many children in the Qin family, Zhang Yiran is 17 years old, Zhang Shaoqing is 14 years old, Wang Shao is 11 years old, and a few little babies, Wang Zhe is 4 years old, Qin Hong and Qin Ying are almost 3 years old, if Qin Xi goes, he will not feel lonely."

"The relationship is good, but I didn't expect the Qin family to be so lively. However, Chongqing is located in the west and has to pass through a series of checkpoints along the way, so it is very inconvenient to get around."

"With us taking Qin Xi, we will ensure smooth sailing."

"Well, I believe in your ability and Adi..."
