Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 2731 2733【Preparation】

Afterwards, Bai Xiong sent a few more telegrams without giving up.

Even the Japanese consul in Sweden came to the Jin family to lobby. Guaranteed that as long as Jin Quan is willing to come out again, he will be the president of the interim government.

Jin Quan threw the consul out of the door, and sent a telegram to scold Bai Xiongqi.

Accusing him of forgetting his ancestors, being stubborn, and cooperating with Dongying people, willing to be a lackey, such behavior is simply disgusting.

Bai Xiongqi was scolded like a scumbag, so he had no choice but to give up.

The Japanese consul in Sweden did not have much power in Sweden, and after being kicked out by Jin Quan, he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky.

But Xiang Nan was afraid of his revenge, so he let Jin Quan, Mrs. Jin and others come to Oresta Island for a while. Let them go back after the weather calms down.

...

Entering 1939, Germany blitzed Poland, declaring the outbreak of World War II.

After the war broke out, Germany quickly captured Poland, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries.

Seeing this, Sweden immediately declared itself a neutral country.

Because the mother and wife of the Swedish king at that time were both German nobles, and he himself was very pro-German. In addition, Sweden itself maintains a strong armament, so Germany is unwilling to start a war against it.

However, Germany still blocked Sweden's access to the Baltic Sea, while the United Kingdom blocked Sweden's access to the North Sea, causing Sweden to lose all overseas markets, so imports and exports were greatly affected.

For example, energy has decreased by 70%, food imports have decreased by 80%, and the foreign trade industry has almost died... which has greatly affected Sweden's economy and people's livelihood.

Especially with the outbreak of the war, there was a serious shortage of living materials.

It seems that sugar, coffee, meat, cheese, milk, cooking oil, etc. are all in short supply, and prices have all begun to rise sharply.

In order to alleviate the crisis of material shortage, the Swedish government introduced a rationing system. Materials such as rice, flour, meat, sugar, coffee, fuel, etc. all need to be purchased with a ticket.

In order to alleviate the resource crisis, the Swedes also opened up their minds.

For example, Swedish chemists mixed wood pulp with leather waste to make shoe soles, soldiers’ uniforms contained 20 percent wood pulp, the public drank gin brewed from wood pulp, cows ate feed mixed with wood pulp, and people drank The coffee was also sawdust.

Even Swedish scientists have improved the engines of buses and tractors to burn charcoal directly...

...

When the Swedes are struggling to get by, the life of the Kim family is not affected at all.

There is still plenty of food on the table, and there is still enough fuel, enough cotton cloth, enough medicine...

At this time, Bai Xiuzhu, Leng Qingqiu, and Xiao Lian all began to admire Xiang Nan's foresight. He established a warehouse on the island early and hoarded a large amount of supplies.

Therefore, there is a shortage of supplies outside, but the life of their family has not been affected in the slightest, which is really great.

"Yanxi, did you know that there will be a war, so you have stockpiled so many supplies in advance?" Leng Qingqiu asked in confusion.

"That's not surprising." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "After the First World War, Europe was covered with dark clouds. Germany was unwilling to lose, and wanted to make a comeback. And the political parties in Italy are so belligerent. With these people in power, It would be strange not to fight.

Moreover, the outbreak of the economic crisis also forced them to fight to divert domestic pressure. So I foresaw it at the time, so I hoarded supplies early. At that time, you still thought I was stupid, how are you doing now, you all admire me, right? "

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

It is precisely because of Xiang Nan's precautions that their living standards can be maintained. Unlike those ordinary civilians, wanting to eat a delicious full meal has become a luxury now.

...

Because of ***, Jin Quan and his wife. Families such as Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, Jin Pengzhen, and Jin Meili did not go hungry, and their lives were still the same as before. There is coffee, meat, bread, and cheese.

This also makes them very grateful.

It is worth mentioning that at the end of the 1940s, Jin Minzhi, her husband Xu Jingyang, and their daughter Xu Wanying fled from France to Sweden.

It turned out that France was captured by the German army in June, and then France also began to implement rationing. First bread, fat, rice, etc., then butter, cheese, meat, coffee...

The lack of materials is second, and the key is the threat to personal safety. Jin Minzhi and Xu Jingyang didn't dare to go out for the first few months, for fear of being killed.

Finally, they mustered up their courage and fled from France to Sweden. After all, this is one of the few places in Europe that has not encountered war.

"Okay, okay, just come here." Jin Quan was very relieved to see his daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter safe.

Jin Minzhi didn't expect that Xiang Nan's supplies were so abundant. Such a large warehouse and so many supplies, if opened to eat, would be enough for the Jin family to feed for three to five or seven years.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, she didn't burden her natal family, and then he looked at Xiang Nandao again, "Lao Qi, it's really thanks to you this time."

"You're welcome, Fifth Sister, what's there to thank if my family helps me?" Xiang Nan laughed.

...

In the next two years, due to the war, Xiang Nan's business was also affected to some extent.

Especially the export business, because the ports are blocked, so the export has almost come to a standstill. Fortunately, Xiang Nan has strong capital and can still afford it.

He also simply stole the laziness and educated the children at home, and took them to grow vegetables, raise chickens, and pigs on the island, which not only enriched the food at home, but also exercised the children's hands-on ability.

In 1942, Song Shiqing died.

In 1943, Germany suffered major setbacks in the Soviet Union. The Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk failed one after another, causing casualties of more than 2.3 million troops, 3,500 tanks, 12,000 artillery pieces, and more than 3,000 aircraft.

Since then, Germany has completely lost the initiative on the Soviet-German battlefield.

Sweden weighed the pros and cons and believed that Germany was no longer able to attack them, so it began to turn against Germany.

Previously, Sweden allowed the German army to cross the border in their own name and go to Norway, which was occupied by them, to change their defense; it allowed Germany to use the Swedish railway to transport weapons, soldiers and supplies to Norway; it allowed the export of high-quality iron ore and bearings to Germany.

All of these are now banned, and even at the end of 2044, Sweden terminated all trade with Germany.

In May 1945, Germany announced its surrender. In August, Japan announced its surrender.

The whole world rejoiced.

But Bai Xiuzhu is not in a good mood. She has received news that her brother Bai Xiongqi has been sentenced to death for treason and traitor.

Although his traitorous behavior, she does not agree with it very much. But it still made her feel very sad to learn that he had ended up like this.
