Volume 2: The crown and the hat are all over the capital, and the spirit is full of energy and enter the foggy city Chapter 88 Heintje (Part 2)
Subtitle of this chapter: ONE PIECE, here I come!
Our Master Yuan focused on the world situation after World War II from beginning to end, and of course he attached great importance to the Western Pacific region.
It is not something that can be done overnight to make history move in the direction he hopes for, so it is normal to make arrangements twenty years in advance.
In the original timeline, the reasons why Japan was able to rise again so quickly after World War II were very complicated: national education level, light and heavy industrial foundation, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War bridgehead, the industrial layout of the free world... and so on.
But the most crucial factor is... a little money!
Contrary to popular belief, Japan was not poor after World War II. The poor were the common people, and the upper class was richer than before the war. So rich that they could quickly win the "friendship" of Americans.
The reason why MacArthur and other senior American officials were so kind to the Japanese, their mortal enemy, after the war was certainly not the way of forgiveness taught by Jesus Christ .
Yuan Yanshu later read The Golden Samurai, which Sterling and Peggy Seagrave spent 18 years co-authoring. They were wanted by the United States and Japan because of this book, and finally had to flee to France.
By the way, they also wrote a book called "The Soong Dynasty".
The Golden Samurai mentioned that during World War II, while Japan was trampling on Asian countries with force, it had been persistently and secretly implementing a "Golden Lily Plan" to plunder the wealth of occupied countries . The main organizers of the plan were all members of the royal family. It is said that they plundered 60,000 tons of gold, while the gold mined by humans in history is only between 140,000 and 180,000 tons.
On the eve of Japan's defeat and surrender, tens of thousands of tons of treasure were hidden in various places in the Philippines and sank to the bottom of the sea with the ship. It really became ONE PIECE...well, it should be plural PIECES.
The strange thing is that after the war, this wealth seemed to have evaporated, and there was no trace of it in historical records. Even the Americans helped them to say that Japan was so poor that it couldn't even pay the war reparations.
The amount of wealth that MacArthur, the commander of the Japanese occupation forces, and former President Hoover, the "Special Envoy for Refugee Relief", and their gang made from Japan was staggering. Even the monkeys in the Philippines and Malaya ate the leftovers with such gusto that their mouths were drooling.
How could our Master Yuan allow such a thing to happen? !
This wealth originally belonged to the Chinese who suffered the most. Of course, Yuan Yanshu had to find a way to spend this wealth where it should be spent, such as establishing one or several Chinese countries in Southeast Asia.
So, in order to capture ONE PIECE, we cannot do without the help of the U.S. Navy... Well, at least the help of people within the U.S. Navy.
Moreover, such a thing as colluding with the top leaders is simply seeking the skin of a tiger. Master Yuan does not think that a master like him can resist the greed of the top leaders of the United States. It is better to find a group of middle-level officers and low-level soldiers to make money together.
You know, it takes some means to convert gold and jewelry into cash. Even figures like MacArthur and Herbert Hoover could only deposit most of their wealth in Swiss banks, not to mention these naval officers. By then, most of the gold and jewelry would still be in Master Yuan's hands.
It was difficult for individuals to cash in these hard currencies, but it was not difficult for the country. So as long as he could establish a Chinese country in Southeast Asia, it would be fine even if he borrowed from his partners in name only.
In Yuan Yanshu's mind, Mr. Heinze Chandler was just such a wedge, a wedge driven into the interior of the US Navy.
"Really? That's great!" Upon hearing such good news, the handsome young man jumped up from the sofa and said excitedly: "Mr. Yuan, thank you so much!"
"Heinche, you can't join the army!" His brother poured a bucket of cold water on his head.
Julian frowned and said, "You know I may not be in the country for the next few years. My mother is gone, my father is old, and my sister is not married yet. You are the only man in the family. If you go to the military academy, who will take care of them?"
His brother retorted unconvincedly: "Dad is only in his early 50s, how can he be old? Sister is going to be a movie star, do you still need me to take care of her? Besides, didn't you go to West Point back then?"
The scar on Lord Justice's face twitched a few times, and he said in a deep voice: "Heintje, have I forgotten to tell you how terrible war is? And you are different from me..."
"War is terrible, but I'm not afraid!" The rebellious teenager said without thinking: "Yes, brother. I'm different from you! I'm not a ..."
"Oops, I almost forgot!"
Our Master Yuan saw that the two brothers were arguing more and more fiercely. If they continued to argue like this, they would definitely say something hurtful. He had no choice but to slap his forehead and said loudly: "I almost forgot what I promised Heintje just now!"
"Sister Lian, Sister Lian!" He shouted twice, then pointed at the young man and said to the maid who came in after hearing the voice: "Sister Lian, please take this gentleman to my study. Any book he wants is a gift from me to him. Bring it here for me to sign."
"Yes, uncle."
Yuan Yanshu deliberately said in Chinese: "Sister Lian, take him to choose slowly. Slowly... understand?"
"Understood, uncle."
"snort!"
The young man also knew that this was someone trying to smooth things over for him, so he just snorted in dissatisfaction and followed Sister Lian out of the living room in a huff. The remaining three men in the living room fell into silence.
After a long while, the professor finally spoke: "Mr. Yuan, Yuri and I appreciate your kindness. But as a father, I still want Heintje to live a peaceful life. You should understand, right?"
"I understand. Of course I understand. We Seris people often say that fatherly love is like a mountain..."
Spicy shredded chicken, the 21st century's fujoshi have made such a nice word unspeakable.
Master Yuan said with a wry smile: "Professor, just because I can understand doesn't mean your son can understand it too."
“Snap!”
He habitually struck a match, lit a cigar and said, "Young people should be allowed to have their own way."
"Take me for example. If I hadn't come to the United States alone, how could I have achieved what I have today?"
"As for the matter of safety, joining the navy doesn't mean you can't be safe!"
Lord Fool glanced at the uncertain Lord Justice, then turned back to stare into the professor’s eyes and said seriously, “Mr. Julian Heinrich Chandler, as your student and a good friend of your son, you should be able to sense that I have some… um, special abilities.”
"And my ability tells me that Heintje's naval career will be a glorious journey!"
