Chapter 592 Whimsical

The new business proposed by Fang Lang instantly diverted Joseph Clark's attention. He ignored the threats from other companies just mentioned and looked at Fang Lang expectantly and asked:

"Boss, I don't know what new business you have discovered. Please tell him about it."

Joseph Clark believed 100% in Fang Lang's business acumen. After all, compared to his achievements in the military, his achievements in business can be said to be legendary. From scratch to what he is now.

The scale only lasted a few years.

Therefore, when Fang Lang told the wrong party that he had discovered a new business opportunity in Yueben, he immediately put other things aside.

Seeing Joseph Clark's eager look, Fang Lang smiled.

"Uncle Clark, don't be anxious. Since this is a big business, it will definitely be very difficult to achieve success. They need to use all their trump cards and use their strong connections in the American political and military circles. Otherwise, will this business be successful?"

It's very difficult to do.

But once they do it, they will have Emperor's Whip becoming a great company that will go down in history."

It was good not to say that, but as soon as he said it, Joseph Clark couldn't walk even more. The match he had just lit stopped in mid-air, and even the movement to light the cigar stopped.

"Boss, what kind of business is this? I'd better tell you quickly! Is it really annoying for me to shut up like that?"

Joseph Clark was made uncomfortable by Fang Lang's showy behavior, so it was no wonder that if Fang No, his boss, if John or No Dong told him things like that, he would not be able to help but beat the shit out of him.

come out.

Seeing that the other party was scratching his head and scratching his head and feeling uncomfortable all over, Fang Lang couldn't keep pretending, so he picked up the cigar he had just lit and took a deep breath, letting the fragrance stay in his mouth for about three seconds before he calmed down.

Slowly spit it out.

"He wants to take over Dongyueben's military and police business."

Fang Lang, who had just finished blowing out a puff of smoke, directly revealed the answer.

But his answer made Joseph Clark, who was in the wrong room, a little confused, and asked with a puzzled face:

"What?"

Seeing this, Fang Lang smiled helplessly and continued:

"He said he was going to let Emperor's Whip Military Contracting Company contract the police and military business in Dongyueben."

After hearing Fang Lang's whimsical thoughts, Joseph Clark felt that he had heard wrongly. He looked at Fang Lang in disbelief and said:

"Then what's the matter?"

Fang Lang was not surprised by Joseph's behavior after hearing the incident. After all, although business activities in Europe and the United States are open and many public projects are operated by private companies, it is difficult for the military and police to be the violent organs of the state.

I have never heard of any country outsourcing that aspect of business.

"Why not? Do I know what the current situation of the police and army is in Japan?"

Joseph was stunned when he heard Fang Lang's question. As a veteran who had participated in the Pacific War, did he know that after Japan was defeated and occupied by the US military, the entire country's violent institutions were disarmed, including the police.

one of them.

But in those years, his attention was all on America and Europe, and he didn't know much about the situation in Asia, so he really didn't know the answer to Fang Lang's question.

"Then he really doesn't know. He knows that after they occupied Yueben, all the military and police were disarmed by them, and all the work was taken care of by their occupying forces. But he really doesn't know if there have been any changes in those years.

Don’t understand.”

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and explained:

"It is true that as you said, after the Japanese military and police were disarmed in the first month, those tasks were all handed over to the occupying forces.

However, with the disarmament of the US military in those two years, the number of Japan's occupation forces was also reduced accordingly. In addition, the pressure on public security abroad increased. In 1947, the occupation forces headquarters relaxed some restrictions on the Japanese police.

It is allowed to recruit some locals to form a police force, but if they do not have the right to be armed, they can use a short stick.

This means that the Japanese police can now carry out some simple civil dispute mediation and security patrol tasks, and even when encountering slightly more powerful underworld organizations, they have to avoid their edges."

"But even if that's the case, they still have the police force again! In that case, how can they take over their police business?"

Joseph Clark was relatively calm and saw the difficulty of the problem at a glance.

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and said:

"Then I think that as a defeated country, Tsukimoto is qualified to regain violent institutions?"

Joseph Clark was stunned by the question. As a defeated country, should he not have a state violence agency again? But does the current Japanese police count as a violence agency? He really couldn't say. After thinking for a while, Joseph Clark disagreed.

replied:

"In his view, they certainly shouldn't be rearmed. But he's not sure that police using short sticks are considered violent institutions?"

"Hehe. Let the men in Congress and those politicians consider that issue. What they want to do is to use their influence in the American military and political circles to turn the police who use short sticks into illegal violent institutions.

.”

When Joseph heard this, Ma Zaiming became aware of Fang Lang's intention. If the current Japanese police are illegal, then the US occupation forces will inevitably have to take on the task of maintaining public security in Japan. With the current strength of the US occupation forces, it is obvious that they cannot bear such a responsibility.

At that time, the opportunity came to work for Emperor's Whip Military Contracting Company.

"He understands what you mean, and it is not difficult to push the bill through Congress. But the question now is whether this is MacArthur's territory. If the government reorganizes the police department, it must be with his consent.

If they directly initiate relations to overturn the rules he established without his consent, it will definitely cause a strong backlash from him. If he then proposes a counter-argument, it will be very difficult for the bill to be passed."

After hearing Joseph Clark's words, Fang Lang smiled confidently and said:

"Knowing that he will do something wrong, then please find a way to shut his mouth."

"What do you mean, boss?"

"As far as he knows, MacArthur has a son named Arthur MacArthur IV, right?"

"No!"

"Then we will find a way to make that Arthur MacArthur IV become one of the shareholders of the Imperial Whip Moon Branch. Of course, we will arrange for someone to talk to Mr. MacArthur in person about that matter."

As soon as Joseph Clark heard what Fang Lang said, he understood what Fang Lang meant. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but ask:

"Can you please take Dong Yueben's police business as a guarantee that their company will have a stable income, but the profits are not as high as they are now."

"Who said we should only take the business of the police? Don't forget, the army is the real violent organization. Only if they can take the business of the army in Japan can they make a lot of money. Then, every year, they can get money from the government

Only by devoting a fixed amount of military expenditure can the real bulk be achieved."

Fang Lang's words seemed like fantasy to Joseph Clark.

"Boss, if you are a defeated country in Japan, you cannot have an army! Are their military expenditures used to maintain the military expenditures of the US occupying forces?

If they ask for Dong Yueben's military business, it is tantamount to asking to replace the U.S. occupying forces, and the military will definitely not agree to such a thing."

Of course, Fang Lang was very clear about this, but the reason why he wanted to contract monthly military and police business in the name of the company was of course not something he could rely on.

As far as he knew, with the outbreak of the Korean War, the US occupation forces were transferred to the peninsula. The island lacked basic defense forces, and Japanese politicians took the opportunity to propose the idea of ​​establishing a police reserve force.

At this time, the U.S. occupying forces were focused on the peninsula and had no time to take into account the situation in Yueben. However, as Yueben was the logistics base for the Peninsula War, the U.S. military was certainly not allowed to have time to stop the chaos.

The idea put forward by Yue himself at that time was a perfect fit for the United States, and the United States agreed after a short discussion. After all, Yue himself did not have to spend his own money to set up a police reserve to protect his rear base.

, Americans have no reason to refuse.

However, the Japanese government was obviously not willing to let itself become a country without armed forces. Therefore, the Japanese government soon established the Maritime Guard and the Security Agency, which was a paramilitary organization.

By the time Japan's economy developed rapidly due to the Peninsula War, it had regained sufficient economic strength, and because of its strong support to the U.S. government in the Peninsula War, it sent people to perform logistics and mine clearance tasks in the name of military husbands, and a series of other things

This performance has allowed the U.S. government to see the value of this government.

At the same time, taking into account Japan's special geographical location, it was naturally impossible to contain the Soviet Union's Far East and China's forward positions. Therefore, it gradually began to relax restrictions on Japan's military strength. The newly-incumbent Ichiro Hatoyama government took the opportunity to propose new policies.

Plan to arm Tsukimoto.

After that, the Japanese government established the Air Self-Defense Force, and officially renamed the Police Reserve and Maritime Guards to the Japanese Self-Defense Force.

And did Fang Lang know the origin of the Yuemoto Self-Defense Forces, so he deliberately proposed such an idea before the outbreak of the Peninsula War? Speaking of which, that idea was indeed a bit whimsical.

But is it possible that it is completely unrealized? Fang Lang doesn’t think so, at least at this stage, whether this plan is very feasible.

Therefore, he thought about it and decided to make his thoughts clear to General Joseph Clark to avoid any mistakes in the specific implementation later.

"If the situation develops according to normal conditions, the military will indeed not agree. But what if a special situation occurs?"

Fang Lang's words were like a thunderbolt exploding in Joseph Clark's heart. He knew that Fang Lang had huge connections in the American political and business circles. Could it be that he had heard some major news about the Far East?

"Boss, does the special situation you are talking about mean that the United States wants to go to war with the Soviet Union in East Asia?"

It didn't surprise Fang Lang that he asked like that. After all, everyone now knows the enemy-to-enemy relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, and whether the Far East of Japan and the Soviet Union can face each other across the sea. As the United States slowly stabilizes the situation in Europe,

It is not unusual to turn our attention to the Far East.

Hearing this, Fang Lang waved his legs.

"It would not be unreasonable for the United States to directly go to war with the Soviet Union. After all, it was not long after the end of World War II, and people all hope for peace. But, it is not very easy to launch a war of controllable scale in local areas."

As soon as this statement came out, Joseph Clark's first reaction was that the United States had plans at the top to launch a local war in the Far East. Therefore, he asked somewhat eagerly:

"Boss, have you heard any definite news?"

In fact, the reason why the Peninsula War broke out was not initiated by the United States, but rather caused by the Soviets deliberately hiding it from their hometown and encouraging the Golden Sun to launch an action to unify the peninsula and forcibly change the situation on the peninsula.

At that time, Fang Lang was the only one who knew that the situation on the peninsula was about to undergo major changes. Even the Golden Sun of the Northern Peninsula, who later took the initiative to initiate a unification war, had to wait until January 30, 1950, before suddenly receiving the invitation from the Soviet Ambassador to the Northern Peninsula.

According to news from Stikov, the loving father of steel is willing to support him in completing the great cause of reunification of the peninsula.

What is interesting is that at that time, during the arduous negotiations between the delegation from my hometown in the Soviet Union, the Soviets were very dissatisfied with their hometown's proposal to return the Zhongchang Railway and Ludaqiao Port, which caused the delegation of the new regime to receive unprecedented neglect in the Soviet Union.

.

And Jin Taiyang, who had always wanted to learn from his hometown and complete his great cause of unification, after receiving support from the Soviet Union, directly expanded the army in the northern peninsula to ten divisions, and requested to use the Soviet loan of 70 million rubles in advance to come

Arm your own troops.

Perhaps it was only then that Americans began to turn their attention to the peninsula, which had been in constant conflict since January 1949.

Therefore, Fang Lang naturally cannot get any information from high-level officials of the US government, but of course Fang Lang cannot directly answer that.

He coughed slightly, lay back, found a more comfortable walking posture, picked up the cigar, took a deep breath, and then said a little enigmatically:

"It doesn't matter whether he has received any exact information or not. Once a local war suddenly breaks out in the Far East, what impact will it have on Japan and what opportunities will it bring to their company?"

.”

After hearing Fang Lang's words, Joseph Clark thought for a while and then asked hesitantly:

"Boss, I don't know where the local war I mentioned will break out? If the U.S. government plans to support Chang Kaishen's counterattack, he thinks that is simply nonsense. The Chinese people have already abandoned Chang Kaishen.

It doesn’t mean that they can change the situation by giving them support or directly sending troops to join the war. It might drag the United States into a huge quagmire.”

At this time, Fang Lang realized that he seemed to have never explained to Joseph Clark where the war would break out. It was normal for the wrong side to think of Chang Kaishen's head. After all, the biggest power in the Far East was himself.

Home.

Even retired Rear Admiral Joseph Clark could see that Chang Kaishen's counterattack was hopeless, not to mention other senior officials in the United States? Can Americans be businessmen? They would definitely not do business that would obviously result in losses.

"No, no. I misunderstood. What he said was not about China, but about the peninsula. Didn't I notice that small-scale conflicts on the peninsula have not stopped since the beginning of next year?"

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Fang Lang directly pointed out the location of the local battlefield he mentioned.
