Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

In October, the blazing sun scorched Haizhou City.

The frenetic atmosphere in front of the stock exchange is as hot as the weather!

At seven o'clock in the morning, a long queue had formed outside the exchange. People were fanning themselves with fans, and beads of sweat from their foreheads slid down their necks into their collars, but they still stood on tiptoe to look at the closed carved bronze door. The sounds of discussion and the chirping of cicadas mixed together.

At half past eight, the bronze door burst open, and a heat wave carrying the scent of ink and leather blew in our faces.

At the entrance of the VIP channel, Lei Tian was wearing a navy blue linen shirt with a white silk handkerchief neatly folded in his chest pocket. Although his back was soaked with sweat, he still walked steadily towards the trading hall.

In the trading hall, the cool air from the central air-conditioning blew in, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the guidance of the waiter,

Lei Tian slowly stepped onto the high platform covered with scarlet carpet, and the brass gong reflected his tense jawline. Hundreds of eyes were focused on him like searchlights.

Lei Tian's palm, which was holding the mahogany hammer, was oozing with sweat. He was a little nervous. Although the air conditioner was on, his shirt was already soaked with sweat and stuck to his back.

When the emcee read out "Tianmu Industrial Company, stock trading code 0086, opening today!", the whole audience suddenly became quiet.

Lei Tian took a deep breath, and the gavel drew a powerful arc in the air - "Dang!" The moment the gong sounded, the quotation boards rolled like dominoes, "Fifteen yuan!" "Sixteen yuan!" The roars one after another broke through the dome.

Heat and noise surged in the hall, and Lei Tian watched the price numbers rise like a thermometer. When the price exceeded 30 yuan, his heart surged, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or tears that flashed in the corners of his eyes.

This time, with the help of his nephew, Lei Tian's furniture factory, Tianmu Industry, was finally listed on the market. The total share capital was 1000 million shares, 400 million shares were publicly issued, the issue price was 12 yuan, and 4800 million yuan was raised!

Since Tianmu Industrial's financial statements are very impressive, with an annual profit growth rate of 50%, it has been sought after by a large number of investors since its listing. According to the current stock price, Lei Da is already an out-and-out billionaire!

At this time, a waiter took another stack of notices and posted them on the bulletin board, attracting investors to rush over to watch. Among them, an announcement from Haizhou Petroleum caught everyone's attention!

"Important event announcement in advance: Haizhou Petroleum has acquired the oil mining rights in the Minas area of ​​Sumatra, Indonesia, for a total of 1500 years at a price of 50 million yuan per year! This announcement is hereby made!"

Investors instantly became excited and all rushed to buy Haizhou Petroleum shares!

The share price of Haizhou Petroleum jumped directly from 97 yuan to 107.6 yuan! It became the first -yuan stock since Haizhou Petroleum was listed!

Haizhou Petroleum is one of the first ten companies to be listed, with the stock code 0001. Its largest shareholder is the Haizhou State Finance and Materials Department, which holds 56.3% of the shares! The company is responsible for the extraction and sales of all oil in Haizhou State!

In addition, the announcement of Haizhou Iron Mine also caused a stir.

"The company plans to invest $1.5 million to add 19 iron ore mining sites in central Australia, which is expected to increase iron ore supply by 1 million tons per year!"

After this announcement was issued, the share price of Haizhou Iron Mine soared from 47.5 yuan to 53.6 yuan!

Haizhou Bank continued to issue an announcement that it expected a full-year loss of 1952 billion yuan in 83.2!

The only bank despised by the market is Haizhou Bank, which is also the only stock that has fallen below its issue price. Its issue price was 10 yuan and its current trading price is 8.62 yuan!

Because, since its establishment, Haizhou Bank has been making losses for two consecutive years. Their deposit interest rate is 2%, but the interest rate on external loans is as low as 1%!

Now almost everyone is withdrawing money from the bank to buy stocks. In the eyes of the majority of investors, this bank has no future at all!

New Mulan City Port,

The port was brightly lit in the twilight. A cargo ship flying the Philippine flag, the "Sambag!", was docked steadily at Pier 5. The deck was bustling with activity. The steel cables of the cranes swung back and forth, and the roar and the shouts of the stevedores intertwined into an exciting symphony. Under the orange-yellow searchlights, the containers were stacked accurately like building blocks, and the workers skillfully secured them with chains, with the sound of metal colliding crisply.

The freighter was loaded with 500 dump trucks produced by the new Mulan City Automobile Factory!

Ever since the Philippines and Haizhou State officially established diplomatic relations, the New Mulan City Port in the northeast of Haizhou State has become busier day by day, with a daily cargo throughput of more than 50,000 tons!

In the second half of this year, Haizhou's industrial production has blossomed, and a large number of industrial products have begun to be sold to Indonesia and the Philippines.

The agricultural products and mineral resources of the two countries are also continuously shipped to Haizhou State!

Of course, Haizhou’s largest trading partner is still China, with daily shipping volume exceeding 30 tons!

Among them, the mineral resources such as crude oil, iron ore, nickel alloy steel, manganese steel, etc. alone exceed 20 tons!

Presidential Palace, in the conference room,

A top-secret military operations meeting is being held.

All officers above the rank of major general from the navy and army will participate!

The newly established Chief of the General Staff, Major General Ji Yuan, was reporting the battle plan.

"The purpose of the entire campaign is to annihilate all Allied forces in Australia! So it is divided into three phases!

The first stage, ground advancement!

The assault corps is composed of three mechanized infantry brigades of the coalition forces and five Indonesian infantry divisions! Starting from January 1, it will attack eastward along the railway line. The speed should not be too fast. An airport will be built every 1-400 kilometers. At the same time, the railways along the line will be repaired to ensure the supply of combat materials! It is expected to take two months!

The second phase is the Army Aviation Operation.

When the army advances to Adelaide, if the Allies are still unable to actively fight, the Army Air Force will launch an unlimited air battle to consume the enemy's air force strength! Seize air supremacy!

In the third stage, the navy attacks and encircles and annihilates the enemy aircraft carrier battle group!

After the Army Air Force consumes the enemy's air force, the Navy should start advancing along the southern coast! Waiting for an opportunity to encircle and annihilate the Allied aircraft carrier battle group!

The fourth stage, landing and general attack,

After encircling and destroying the Allied aircraft carrier, our army should land and airborne to attack Sydney, while the army will continue to advance and encircle and destroy the remaining Allied ground forces! "

After the generals finished their reports,

Yin Xinjun concluded:

"Our Army Aviation currently has 3100 combat aircraft, so we must gain air superiority, use our air superiority, and continuously strike our opponents!

At present, we have transported and stored 85 tons of various materials to Australia, including fuel, ammunition, food, clothing, medicine, etc. We have been preparing for this war for 8 months before we started. I hope you will realize that this is a key battle for our Haizhou country to go to the world! The code name of this battle is called "Guixu!"
