Chapter 726: Moving to Shanghai

It is a pity that China is in the golden decade. Although it was disrupted by the island country, the people are a little safer, the food is a little more sufficient, and the soldiers are a little better.

I want to send troops to drive out the Japanese pirates, save the people from suffering, and restore the dignity of China!

Here, I, Chiang Kai-shek, once again announce to the world:

Wherever the army goes, the people should not avoid it.

The Chinese soldiers are strict in their orders, and will not commit any crimes or ask the people for a needle or thread.

In addition, I warn the traitors to put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas on the spot.

Those who return to me will live in peace in China forever, and those who betray me will cut themselves off from the people.

The war has begun, and all the Chinese people hope that people will contribute people and money.

China has 400 million people, and can arm millions or even tens of millions of soldiers and horses.

It is time to drive out the Tartars and restore China!

With friendly countries such as Germany, the United States, and the Soviet Union, and the Chinese people are united, the final victory will definitely belong to China!

…

Chiang Jieshi's prayer to heaven and the order to kill the Japanese were quickly transmitted to China and abroad through radio waves.

Hearing this deafening and powerful voice, all the Chinese people immediately entered the role.

Nanjing Government Compound.

After finishing these things, Ye Tian declined Jiang Jieshi's kindness to let him rest, and made a report on his work.

Finally, Ye Tian tactfully told Jiang Jieshi that his subordinates were all in Shanghai and were busy collecting information.

And he himself was going to Shanghai.

When the Songhu Battle started, relying on the advantage of the small ship of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it was easy to turn around, and try to make more contributions to China.

Hearing this, Jiang Jieshi pondered for a while.

Then, Jiang Jieshi agreed to Ye Tian and introduced a person to Ye Tian.

This person is very famous in history. He is known as the first gangster in 300 years and the emperor of Shanghai.

Although Du Yuesheng was born in poverty, he became more and more prosperous because he paid attention to personal connections. He had friends in both black and white.

As a legendary figure, he was not only a gangster boss in Shanghai, but also involved in entertainment, culture, education, finance, news and other industries.

Among them, it must be said that Du Yuesheng monopolized the opium business in the French Concession.

However, Du Yuesheng paid more attention to the foreign market.

It is rumored that Du Yuesheng occupied seven-eighths of the market share in the world.

Moreover, through this business, Du Yuesheng established close ties with the Italian Mafia.

Because of his wealth and power, Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin were known as the three tycoons of Shanghai.

Huang Jinrong was greedy for money, Du Yuesheng knew how to behave, and Zhang Xiaolin was good at fighting. This was the society's evaluation of the three of them.

Compared with Huang and Zhang, Du Yuesheng was more skilled and better at coordinating various relationships.

Although Du Yuesheng had various disgraceful deeds, it is undeniable that he made outstanding contributions during the Anti-Japanese War.

After the full-scale war of resistance began, Du Yuesheng participated in the Shanghai Anti-Enemy Support Association and served as a member of the presidium and director of the fundraising committee.

Hearing that the government had issued national salvation bonds, Du Yuesheng immediately launched a series of propaganda activities.

Under his initiation and organization, 75 million yuan of national salvation bonds were sold out.

This proportion accounts for one-sixth of the total issuance!

He also actively participated in military labor activities, raising a large number of towels, cigarettes, canned food and other foods, and sent them to the Anti-Enemy Support Association.

In addition, through his strong connections with foreigners, he got a lot of good things, such as communication equipment, armored insurance vehicles, gas masks, etc.

After getting these, he gave them to the government army and the Eighth Route Army.

After the Battle of Songhu, Shanghai fell. Du Yuesheng refused the devil's solicitation and moved to Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, he used his gang relationship to continue to serve the cause of the War of Resistance.

Later, he also served as vice president of the Chinese Red Cross and standing member of the Relief Committee.

In 1940, Du Yuesheng's life reached its peak.

Under the organization of the government, an organization called the People's Action Committee was established, and Du Yuesheng was the first person in charge.

This organization includes various gangs in China!

In other words, Du Yuesheng became the leader of all gangs in China!

Then, Du Yuesheng came to Chongqing, the wartime capital, to continue to raise funds for the war of resistance and purchase various strategic materials.

Among many identities, Du Yuesheng also has a special identity, that is, the Standing Committee of the Relief Committee.

At that time, the materials donated by overseas Chinese to the war of resistance and the relief supplies for refugees were received by Du Yuesheng and transported to Hankou or Chongqing.

At the same time, Du also cooperated with Dai Li's Military Control Commission, responsible for organizing people to collect intelligence in the occupied areas and the work of exterminating traitors and instigating rebellion.

He was painstaking in intelligence and planning the assassination of traitors.

The assassination of Zhang Xiaolin, another gang leader in Shanghai, who surrendered to the enemy, was related to Du Yuesheng.

What people like to talk about is that the killing of the traitor, the pseudo-Shanghai mayor Fu Xiao'an, was the result of the cooperation between his disciples and the Military Control Commission.

During the Battle of Songhu, Jiang Jieshi planned to launch a war of resistance behind enemy lines, foreseeing that China would be defeated.

After receiving the order, Dai Li found Du Yuesheng, and the two of them jointly established the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Committee.

The Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Committee Rangers had a total of 5 detachments.

Among them, the commanders of the first, second and third detachments were all disciples of Du Yuesheng.

Most importantly, most of the detachment members were members of the Green Gang.

After the fall of Shanghai, in order to prevent the island nation's navy from invading the Chinese mainland along the west, Jiang Jieshi proposed a plan to block the Yangtze River.

In order to take the overall situation into consideration and to motivate other businessmen, Du Yuesheng stood up again.

Under Du Yuesheng's order, eight ships under his command chose to sink in the Yangtze River.

Under Du Yuesheng's leadership, other shipping companies also responded.

As a result, the Yangtze River waterway was blocked, which delayed the attack of the devils to a certain extent.

In fact, in the Battle of Songhu, especially in the Battle of Shanghai, Du Yuesheng personally led his subordinates and carried out a lot of cooperation with various Chinese troops, that is, fighting bloody battles with the devils.

…

What Jiang Jieshi didn't know was that he was not as good as Ye Tian in understanding Du Yuesheng.

Ye Tian knew that after the establishment of the Nanjing government, Du Yuesheng began to serve as an adviser to the General Headquarters of the Army, Navy and Air Force, a major general senator of the Military Commission and a senator of the Executive Yuan.

Although these positions were all nominal positions, they greatly improved his social status.

Du Yuesheng also had another identity, that is, the Chinese director of the French Concession Municipal Council, which was the highest position for Chinese in the French Concession.

He has a famous saying, if the devils want to use Lend-Lease to fight the Chinese, I, Du Yuesheng, can destroy all of Lend-Lease within two hours!

Under Jiang Jieshi's attention, Ye Tian nodded heavily.

After a simple reunion with Zhao Shuang, and with Zhao Shuang's many instructions, Ye Tian got on the train to Shanghai.

This time, Ye Tian's target is Du Yuesheng.

With his familiarity with the history of the War of Resistance, Ye Tian plans to cooperate with Du Yuesheng.
