Jiang Weiguo pointed to the map: "The Golden Triangle is surrounded by mountains and traffic is blocked, but the land is fertile and the climate is warm and humid, which is very suitable for large-scale planting of poppies. Moreover, the Golden Triangle is China's Yunnan Province in the north, the French colony of Laos in the east, and the British colony in the west. Myanmar is to the south of Thailand. How can the British and French manage the outlying areas of their colonies? Thailand is weak and politically turbulent, and has been unable to effectively control the northern part of Thailand. Therefore, this place is very suitable for independent kingship. Don’t worry about it! , the total area of ​​the Golden Triangle is about 15 to 20 square kilometers (equivalent to the area of ​​Guizhou Province), and there are no powerful local snakes, so after you 1000 people pass by, it is not difficult to dominate the local area; In addition, the Kokang District, Kachin State, Shan State, Wa State and other places in Myanmar are all overseas Chinese inhabited, and you have a mass base there, and these are your advantages!" He looked up at Jin Dingguo Four People, "The task I give you four is to unify the Golden Triangle for me within one year, and then try my best to plant poppies locally! Produce opium! Increase the local opium production to 300 tons per year within two years, three Increase to 500 tons per year within this year! Just tell me what you need! I will fully support you!"

Zeng Liwei swallowed hard, and looked at Jiang Weiguo: "Second son, why did you ask us to plant opium in the Golden Triangle?"

Jiang Weiguo's eyes were piercing: "Three reasons, the first is to make money.

Drugs can bring huge profits, so I don't need to say; second, the production of drugs.

Although opium is a drug, it can also be used to save lives and heal the wounded. Opium can calm pain and can be made into morphine. The national army is fighting the Japanese, and the demand for drugs must be as high as possible; third, use drugs as weapons to poison us enemies or potential enemies.

The opium produced is sold to Southeast Asia and India. India has more than 4 million people. What a big market (India at this time is "British India", including India, Pakistan, Myanmar and other places in later generations , with a total population of more than [-] million)!Also, sell it to the Korean Peninsula and Japan!The focus is on India and Japan!The Indian market is huge, and didn't the Indian master, Britain, sell us opium back then?Now it's a courtesy!As for Japan, although it is difficult, it is also an eye for an eye!The more we sell, the worse it will be in Japan!Earn money from the Japanese, buy bullets for us Chinese, and then kill the Japanese. Is there any better deal than this?Also, let me seriously declare!First, whoever takes drugs by himself will be executed immediately if found out!Second, anyone who sells drugs to the country or overseas Chinese will be executed!do you understand? "

"Understood!" The four of Jin Dingguo responded loudly.

Jiang Weiguo looked at the complex expressions on the faces of Jin Dingguo and said with a smile: "I know what you are thinking, and I fully understand your psychological unacceptability and concerns in various aspects.

Yes, yes, it's a sinful, dirty, dark, ugly business, and we're going to hurt people, but do we have a choice?We need money!We need a lot of money. With money, we can buy guns and cannons, make guns and cannons, and then we can defend our country and protect our compatriots from becoming subjugated slaves!As long as the purpose is correct, it doesn't matter if the means are shady.

In extraordinary times, use extraordinary methods!In order to get money now, it can be said that I am hungry!I can't wait to go directly to the major countries to rob their central banks! "

All four of Jin Dingguo laughed.

Jin Dingguo said: "Brother Weiguo, I recall an anecdote a few years ago. Nankai University once received financial sponsorship from a group of illegal profiteers. The students were filled with righteous indignation after learning about it, claiming that they don't want the stinky money of the local tyrants and evil gentry. The principal, Mr. Zhang Boling said, ' Beautiful flowers might as well be watered with dung water'.

Mr. Zhang is so free and easy, are we still so pedantic?rest assured!We know the meaning of this task, which is to cut flesh to mend sores, drink poison to quench thirst, and we must do it! "

Zeng Liwei laughed: "Second son, don't worry! This world is cruel, we are not so pedantic!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "That's good!" Jiang Weiguo's move actually had two purposes.

One is to deploy a group of Chinese nationals in Southeast Asia in advance, so that the Chinese expeditionary force will have guides and foreign roots when it enters Myanmar to fight; the other is to take the drug base of the Golden Triangle into its own hands in advance, so that it will be convenient to eradicate it in the future , so as to completely eliminate the possibility of a drug base at the southwestern gate of China after the war, and prevent the drug source of the Golden Triangle from backlashing China itself.

Jiang Weiguo doesn't want to plant a time bomb for his motherland. It doesn't matter if it harms other countries, but it must not harm its own country.

"After you establish a firm foothold in the Golden Triangle, I will send people from China to help!" Jiang Weiguo added, "I will send a group of agricultural experts, medical scientists, and chemists to the Golden Triangle to help you grow poppies and produce opium better. At the same time, several factories were established in the Golden Triangle to extract morphine and heroin from opium. The morphine was shipped back to the country and used by the national army for battlefield medicine. Heroin was sold to India, Japan and other places along with opium.

After all, heroin is much more addictive and quick to make money than opium! "As we all know, the world's three major profiteering industries in later generations are: oil, arms, and drugs.

At this time, Jiang Weiguo could not sell oil or arms to make money, but could only sell drugs.

"Understood!" The four of Jin Dingguo nodded solemnly together again.

Jiang Weiguo's actions made him recognized as the pioneer of the world's first generation of drug lords in just a few years, the first real drug lord, and also the largest drug lord in history. No one can surpass his drug production skills. He even got nicknames such as "The King of Opium", "The King of Heroin", and "Emperor of the Drug Empire".

After the war, drug lords of different skin colors emerged from the Yangtze River all over the world like Jiang Weiguo. "The ancestor of drug lords" and "the grandfather of the drug industry", because Jiang Weiguo's "achievements" in this area are unprecedented-he manufactured and sold up to 30000 tons of drugs (two-thirds of which were opium) in more than ten years. , the rest is heroin, cocaine, marijuana, morphine and other drugs).

It is said that the International Tribunal in The Hague once considered prosecuting Jiang Weiguo for "crimes against humanity" because "his drug production and trafficking are no less harmful to South Asia, Southeast Asia, South America, Central America, Africa and other regions than launching a world war. The great war will cause great harm and endless poison to the above-mentioned areas."

On the morning of August 8, Jiang Weiguo bid farewell to Jin Dingguo, Zeng Liwei, Zhao Haijun, and Tang Feihu and set foot on the ship back home.

At noon on August 8, Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Baili and others arrived in Shanghai.

Section 038 Annunciation (1)

When he first went abroad, Jiang Weiguo and his party consisted of 14 people: Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Baili, Dai Anguo, Jin Dingguo, Yang Mei, Sun Tao, Weng Yong, Chen Ming, Sun Jian, Liu Fengling, Yi Shuihan, Jiang Zuomei, Jiang Ying, Jiang He. There were 3 people missing, Dai Anguo was working in Germany, Jin Dingguo was working in the Golden Triangle, Jiang Ying was studying music in Germany, and Jiang Weiguo gave Jiang Ying [-] US dollars as her living expenses during her studies in Germany.

Jiang Baili has always been honest and honest, so his family has no money left. Jiang Ying must be struggling when he is studying in Germany. Jiang Weiguo will naturally help him. Anyway, he is very rich now.

The sports delegation went to Germany with Jiang Weiguo and his party, but they did not come back together. Jiang Weiguo and his party went first.

After setting foot on Chinese soil again, without waiting to catch their breath, Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Baili immediately set off for Nanjing to report to Chiang Kai-shek the diplomatic results of their trip to Germany in detail.

Chiang Kai-shek had already received the telegrams from Jiang Baili and Jiang Weiguo, but he only knew the general results, not the specifics of what happened.

Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Baili rushed to Nanjing that night, and Chiang Kai-shek had already been waiting for them both at Qilu.

"Good! Good! Good!" After listening to Jiang Baili's report, Chiang Kai-shek, who has always paid attention to nourishing energy and leadership demeanor, couldn't help saying three good words in a row. Difficulty restraining emotions.

Chiang Kai-shek actually did not hold much hope in the matter of Jiang Baili and Jiang Weiguo going to Germany to persuade Hitler and the German government to continue to support China. After all, it is already an open matter that Germany and Japan are flirting internationally, although Hitler himself Most of the top leaders in Germany sympathize with China, but Japan's strength is obvious, so it is not unexpected that Germany kicked out the poor and weak China in order to dominate Europe and compete for hegemony in the world, and turned to collude with the powerful Japan thing.

However, Jiang Baili's report surprised and delighted Chiang Kai-shek.

"Baili, you did a good job! You did a very good job!" Chiang Kai-shek, who was overjoyed, praised Jiang Baili repeatedly.

"Chairman, I dare not take all the credit for my humble position!" Jiang Baili said sincerely, "Nine-tenths of the credit for this trip to Germany is due to the second son!"

"Oh?" Chiang Kai-shek's eyes lit up, he was delighted but couldn't believe it, "Baili, what do you say?" He looked at Jiang Weiguo who was standing beside Jiang Baili, "Wei'er, what's going on?"

Jiang Weiguo smiled: "Mr. Baili won the award, but it is actually all thanks to Mr. Baili and Mr. Cheng Tianfang!"

"No! No! No!" Jiang Baili shook his head again and again, and he looked at Chiang Kai-shek solemnly, "Chairman, it's not a boast of a lowly position. Although the second son is young, he is a rare talent in our country! In Germany, lowly positions do their best. , It was just a tie with the Japanese, but after the second young master spoke, the situation immediately fell to one side! Chairman, the process was like this..." Jiang Baili recalled Jiang Weiguo's generous speech and eloquence in front of Hitler, and suddenly felt slightly Somewhat agitated, he restrained his ups and downs, and described to Chiang Kai-shek the eloquent process of Jiang Weiguo at that time. Of course, according to Jiang Weiguo's prior request, Jiang Baili did not tell the process of Jiang Weiguo's "gift" to Hitler.

"Good! Good! Well said!" After hearing this, Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed and overjoyed. He looked at Jiang Weiguo in disbelief and excitement, "Wei'er, my father really didn't expect that you are so talented! You This eloquent speech was wonderful! It was absolutely wonderful! Not only did it succeed in persuading Hitler and the top German leaders, but it also greatly defeated the arrogance of the Japanese, saved the face of the party-state, and gave the party-state a strong presence on the international stage. Take a breath! Good! Good!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo with shining eyes, full of praise for Jiang Weiguo.

Chiang Kai-shek was actually even more pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect his young son to be so capable, and he had to make him as a father extremely happy.

"Chairman, it's more than that!" Jiang Baili added to Chiang Kai-shek's extremely happy mood again, "The second son also persuaded Hitler to loan 500 million U.S. dollars to our country, provide 5000 tanks, [-] aircraft, and [-] submarines. Military industry experts and a complete set of equipment have helped our country build a tank factory and an aircraft factory, and have paid the second son [-] million US dollars in advance, loaned [-] million US dollars to our country, and donated [-] tanks, [-] aircraft and [-] to our country. A submarine, more than that, Germany will immediately start to help us build a submarine base, a torpedo boat factory, a torpedo factory, a mine factory, and an automobile factory, and will also send instructors, consultants, and technicians to help us train armored soldiers, pilots, Submarine soldiers, and even the Luftwaffe will send a support team of Chinese pilot volunteers when the war breaks out!"

"This... this..." Chiang Kai-shek could hardly believe his ears, because the surprise was too great.

"Chairman!" Jiang Baili looked at Chiang Kai-shek with sincere eyes, "Second Young Master is indeed a rare and rare rookie talent in the party and country! I sincerely congratulate the Chairman for having such an outstanding son as Second Young Master.

Chairman, I don’t want to bother you with a lowly position, I’ll retire first!”

"Good! Good!" After all, Chiang Kai-shek is the supreme leader of the country, and he has seen a lot of turmoil. Although he was too excited just now, he quickly calmed down. Tomorrow, I will inquire with the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs to see if I can promote you to the second general of the army as appropriate. In addition, I will entrust you with the post of principal of the Lu University (President of the Whampoa Military Academy) in the future! I hope you can help me a lot in the future!"

Jiang Baili smiled flatly: "Serving the country is a matter of duty.

In fact, Chairman, you should reward Second Young Master the most!Alright, Chairman, I will take my leave first!"

"Baili, it's already 08:30, why don't you just stay here for dinner?" Chiang Kai-shek was in a good mood, and took the initiative to invite Jiang Baili to stay for dinner.

"Chairman, you are welcome! My wife has already cooked meals at home, and I can't wait to go back and have dinner with my family!"

"Okay, okay, then I won't delay your reunion with your wife, come, I'll see you off!"

After Chiang Kai-shek and Jiang Weiguo sent Jiang Baili out of the rest house, Song Meiling also reheated the dinner that had been prepared.

The family of three had dinner together in the restaurant. Jiang Weiguo was so hungry that his chest was stuck to his back, so he ate hungrily, and saw Jiang Weiguo eating or not, Chiang Kai-shek smiled and shook his head. He didn't mean to blame him at all. Song Meiling: "Ma'am, Wei'er has indeed grown up! He is promising! During this trip to Germany, his performance really impressed me! You don't know, according to Jiang Baili's description, he behaved no less than Hitler in front of Hitler. Zhuge Liang’s tongue-in-cheek battle against the Confucian scholars made the three Japanese diplomats speechless, greatly boosted our country’s ambition and national prestige in front of the Germans, and successfully persuaded Hitler…”

"Oh? Really?" Song Meiling looked at Jiang Weiguo with a smile, and while listening to Chiang Kai-shek's rather excited description, she nodded and praised repeatedly, "Not bad! Not bad! Weiguo has indeed grown up and become a talent! Weiguo, I really can't tell, Are you so eloquent?"

Jiang Weiguo picked up three bowls of rice in a row, belched contentedly, and then began to talk about business with Chiang Kai-shek: "Father, the German side has basically been confirmed, and Sino-German cooperation will definitely be maintained. There are advantages and disadvantages in an alliance with China or Japan. Therefore, at the beginning of the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Germany will at least remain neutral and secretly sympathize with us and support us.

But, father, we can't win on the battlefield, and it's useless for us to say anything at the negotiating table. Therefore, in order to prove the greatness of the party-state and China's ability and value, we must actively prepare for the war, and we must not fight after the war. The defeat is like a mountain, and the invading Japanese army must be severely annihilated to show the country's prestige and military prestige!In this way, our words in the international arena will have more weight, and major countries such as Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union will pay more attention to us, and regard us as a pivotal and new world power, instead of allowing them to exploit, calculate, abandon or even He is the target of betrayal and betrayal!" Jiang Weiguo said seriously.

"Well said! Well said!" Chiang Kai-shek praised, "Wei'er is really getting more and more mature! You are very right! We must show our national prestige and military prestige, so that the great powers will take us seriously !” Jiang Weiguo’s remarks are in line with Chiang Kai-shek’s war strategy of using the great powers to intervene in the Sino-Japanese war to achieve peace between China and Japan.

"Father, the Sino-Japanese war is imminent.

The party-state's military preparations are imminent, and we must hurry up! "Jiang Weiguo went on to say, "Father, I 'bragged' in front of Hitler's head of state that Nanjing can hold on for more than three months!"

"Do you have any opinions or suggestions?" Chiang Kai-shek asked without answering.

Jiang Weiguo replied: "First of all, industries, banks, schools, enterprises, and populations in coastal areas such as North China, East China, and South China...especially Nanjing and Shanghai in the Yangtze River Delta must begin to move in an orderly manner to the southwest. It will be our rear of the War of Resistance.

In the southwest region, I hope to get your permission and support, father, to rebuild our country’s wartime industrial system, arsenal, military academy, scientific research institute and other institutions there, so as to prepare for the war of resistance that will break out in a short time!”

"Yeah!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded.

"Also," Jiang Weiguo said after a pause, "Father, I want to form an elite army. First, I am eager to fight the enemy myself. Second, I can also use this to show the outside world, father, you and the central government's determination to resist Japan. It will definitely inspire the hearts of the people and the morale of the national army!"

Song Meiling was taken aback: "Weiguo, after the summer vacation, you won't go back to Suzhou to go to college? You still have to go to college for another year! Are you going to be a soldier?"

Jiang Weiguo laughed: "Mother, what else do I need to study! Our country needs soldiers even more now!"

"Well!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded again, and then looked at Jiang Weiguo lovingly, "Wei'er, you have made great achievements for the party and state in Germany this time, and you are now a second lieutenant, and the promotion to lieutenant is a matter of course.

Whatever you want to do, just let it go, as long as you don't go too far, your father will fully support you.

You have indeed grown up!And it's much more capable than I imagined! "He was delighted and relieved.

Jiang Weiguo smiled, and said in his heart: "What I'm waiting for is your words!" On the surface, he said solemnly: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations.

In addition, father, can the weapons, equipment and funds I brought back from Germany be arranged and used by me?And I also want to help build our air force and navy, I hope father you can give me certain authority!"

"Okay! I'll call Zhou Zhiruan and Ouyangge immediately!"

"Father, our air force and navy are very small, and our country does not have a strong military industry to produce aircraft and warships. We can only rely on outsourcing and foreign aid. However, once the big powers come to consider the pressure from Japan, they will not be too generous. Secondly, we do not have enough funds. Therefore, the size of our air force and navy may not increase significantly in a long period of time. Therefore, I think our air force and navy should be built into two capable units. It can't be too complicated. We must follow the route of elite soldiers and try our best to improve efficiency. Therefore, I think it is necessary to rectify the air force and navy.

Father, I think it's time to formally establish Air Command and Navy Command!"

"Well, it makes sense, go discuss it with Zhou Zhirou and Ouyangge!"

"Father, the aid from overseas Chinese is an important source of strength for our war of resistance. I propose to set up a special department to take charge of this, called the 'Overseas Chinese Liaison Office'. How about it?"

"Wei'er, there is no need for this, the government now has an 'overseas department'.

It's just that this overseas department is a cold government office that is in name only and nobody cares about it. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs basically covers the functions of the overseas department. Some people have proposed to abolish this department many times.

But after your reminder, I guess this Overseas Department will definitely be of great use after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War.

Wei'er, since you have already contacted Mr. Chen and Mr. Situ, then I will hand over this cold yamen to you in the future!The position of minister must not be yours. You are only 20 years old and you are a minister in the government in a stately manner. If it is spread out, it will definitely attract criticism. The outside world will say that I am nepotism! "Chiang Kai-shek is very straightforward, and he is in a very good mood, because he has been happy these days.

The first joy is that the Guangdong-Guangdong incident has officially ended without any danger. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi expressed their obedience to the central government. They returned to their hometowns in Guangxi Province and handed over 20 planes of the Guangxi Air Force to Chiang Kai-shek to show their sincerity. At the same time, During the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident, Chiang Kai-shek successfully eradicated the He Jian faction entrenched in Hunan Province and the Chen Jitang faction entrenched in Guangdong Province, allowing the central military orders and government orders to flow smoothly in these two provinces. It’s good to accept it first, but it’s a great victory to bring back the territory of the three provinces and two provinces; the second joy, Jiang Baili and Jiang Weiguo’s mission to Germany was a complete success, preventing Germany from falling to Japan, and maintaining Sino-German cooperation; the third joy Jiang Baili and Jiang Weiguo went to Germany as envoys not only to complete the planned goals, but also to perform exceptionally, strengthen the level of Sino-German cooperation, and obtain a large number of weapons and equipment and financial loans from Germany; fourthly, they were sent by Chiang Kai-shek to the Soviet Union for assistance Lieutenant General Yang Jie also gained a lot. The leader of the Soviet Union, Stalin, was worried that Japan would be completely angered, so he did not agree to the Sino-Soviet alliance, but he agreed to give the National Government a loan of [-] million rubles after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War to help the Chinese army form [-] Soviet divisions. In addition, a Soviet air force to aid China will be sent to strengthen China's air power.

Just because good things happened one after another, Chiang Kai-shek felt like a spring breeze, and Jiang Weiguo's requests were all beneficial to the country and the people, so Chiang Kai-shek responded to Jiang Weiguo's requests.

Section 039 Annunciation (2)

Jiang Weiguo continued to ask: "Father, I have an additional agreement with Germany. The two sides jointly carry out two scientific research projects, which will be of great benefit to us, and the follow-up funds will be paid by Germany!"

Chiang Kai-shek continued to nod happily: "Okay, no problem, let you handle it!"

"Then ask father to put on a warrant, so that it will be much easier for me to do this!"

"Okay, I'll give you a note right away!"

"By the way, Mr. Baili should be the Minister of Overseas Affairs! I think he is very suitable!"

"Well, yes, Baili has made great contributions to the party and the country this time, and the central government really wants to put him in good use!"

"An Guo and Ding Guo both want to follow me to serve the country. Father, please assign them two positions overseas!"

"Okay, you can also take a job in it! The Overseas Department will be handed over to you!"

According to Jiang Weiguo's recommendation, Lieutenant General Jiang Baili (soon to become a second-level general) will take up the post of Minister of Overseas Affairs.

Jiang Baili is a famous strategist, military scientist, military theorist, and military educator. Chiang Kai-shek also admired and valued him very much, but he never gave him real power because Jiang Baili had turned against Chiang Kai-shek before.

Right now, Jiang Baili's public office is Senior Advisor to the Military Commission, Special Envoy of the Nationalist Government, and President of the Army University (Whampoa Military Academy). According to Jiang Weiguo's recommendation, Jiang Baili will soon have an additional official title of "Minister of Overseas Affairs".
