Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 293: Delivering Goods at the End of the Year

Everyone was already feeling uncomfortable about the dissolution of the Yanhuang League in China, and after arriving in Yunnan Province, there were also many Yanhuang League disciples in the Southeast Asian Chinese Self-Help Army.

Look at other people, their planes are flying so fast and the government officials are all bootlicking them. Then look at our side, it's really shameful.

So when Hou Xiaoge proposed to re-establish the Yanhuang League, they were all excited. In addition, Hou Xiaoge explained to them that they would definitely not be well off in the country, so they simply rushed out of the country.

With the directions given by Hou Xiaoge, winter is coming soon, and there is famine in the mainland. There is no need to think about it, just trick the refugees over!

Of course, Hou Xiaoge was not idle either. He commissioned the Hongmen and various parties to lobby General Shi Wei of the United States and Chief Wei of the National Government.

For the United States, Burma belongs to John Bull and does not bring them much benefit. As long as they can open up the supply channel and let China hold back more Japanese troops, it will be the greatest help to them.

The Yanhuang League proposed that using immigrants to monitor the natives was a good method.

What's more, the Yanhuang Alliance can also help transport goods, which is the best thing.

For the chief of the national government's guards, it would be a hundred benefits with no harm. The main force of the expeditionary force is Chinese. If a large number of Chinese migrate to the local area, their subsequent recuperation, supplies and safety will be better guaranteed.

Moreover, as a Chinese soldier, expanding the territory is the long-cherished wish of every soldier, even if they are immigrants.

Of course, the most important thing is the aircraft support promised by the Yanhuang Alliance, as well as a large amount of material support and cash.

There is not much else in the country but a lot of people. After the two sides got in touch, a large number of people began to pour into Myanmar.

As for why, it’s of course because of money. Each person is given five dollars, and a family of five is twenty-five dollars.

It seems like a lot, but ten million is only fifty million dollars, less than a quarter of the sixty-five million dollars donated by Hou Xiaoge.

Of course, it is impossible to immigrate so many people as 10 million at once. Hou Xiaoge estimated that two or three million would be the maximum.

Moreover, after these people went there, the expeditionary forces would protect them, and the Yanhuang League would help the lower classes. At most, they would fight with the local natives. Apart from being unfamiliar with the place, it was much more comfortable than at home.

Five oceans per person, this price attracted not only the refugees themselves, but also the domestic warlords and various forces.

All of a sudden, refugees poured into Yunnan Province like a tide, and even the prices in Yunnan Province rose a lot.

There was no other choice but Hou Xiaoge could only place large orders and start purchasing grain from America.

For a period of time, many areas in the space stopped growing crops and were directly used as warehouses to transport grain.

The good thing is that Hou Xiaoge only needs to provide part of the food. As long as the refugees enter Myanmar and arrive in Lashio, they can provide food from Myanmar.

The grain purchased from the United States was transported from the Indian Ocean to the port of Myanmar by transport ships. The quantity was large and Hou Xiaoge did not have to travel back and forth.

By the end of the year, in less than four months, a total of more than 2.3 million people had been transported to Myanmar.

Half of these people were refugees from Henan Province and war zones, and the other half were overseas Chinese and immigrants who voluntarily came from the southern region.

This number alone has caused protests from John Bull, and he is no longer allowed to immigrate to Burma.

But this is enough. There were already two to three million Chinese in the area, and now more than two million have moved there. The population is less than five million, which already accounts for half of Myanmar's population.

The Yanhuang League, the Hongmen and the top leaders of the expeditionary force conspired to reduce the number of young and strong local natives as much as possible and expand the numerical advantage of the Chinese.

However, with so many Chinese living in the local area, the existence of an organization is also necessary. This time, the Yanhuang League did not take the lead, but was managed jointly with the Hongmen and the Expeditionary Force. However, the Yanhuang League was the main force in the economy.

These two parties are powerful, so Hou Xiaoge cannot be completely at ease. Instead, he uses his money to recruit a large number of disciples and let a large number of disciples enter the grassroots management.

At the beginning, management was in a rough manner, so naturally whoever had money had the final say.

The Yanhuang Alliance had money, food, clothing, housing and transportation, so naturally it became very powerful.

However, Hou Xiaoge still pushed Situ Longtou out. This big guy had enough influence to solve many small troubles invisibly.

With so many people pouring into Myanmar, they naturally needed to eat at first.

The Yanhuang Alliance does not keep idle people, so it lets disciples lead these people to build roads and expand the road surface.

At that time, the national government allocated a little more funds, but only a few million. Not only was there a lack of machinery, but there was also no food to eat. The people had to solve everything on their own.

The Yanhuang Alliance is much better off, with all kinds of excavators brought back from America, as well as large amounts of food supplements, and all kinds of innate conditions are much better.

Every day, more than a million people worked on the construction site to build the road, and by the end of the year, the road had been expanded to almost twice its width.

Hou Xiaoge still had some concerns and did not allow the Yunnan-Burma Highway to directly connect the two countries. The forty or fifty kilometers of road on both sides remained unchanged.

With the immigration and road construction, most of Hou Xiaoge's more than 10 million US dollars in stock have been spent. Even the space warehouse is now empty. The chickens are newly raised chicks, and the livestock have become cubs.

The only hard currencies left are the gold and silver stored in the bottom of the vault.

But it's all worth it, as most of the wealth is obtained for free and is just converted into another type of asset.

After the new year, when these millions of immigrants help create wealth for themselves, money will really be numbers.

"New Year's Eve is just over ten days away. We have to go out and buy New Year's goods." Hou Xiaoge looked at the land occupied by the Japanese devils.

This time, Hou Xiaoge's target location is Peking, which is now half of the rear area occupied by the Japanese.

It's the end of the year, and the Japanese have to take a boat or plane back to report on their work and give gifts.

There is a lot of wealth there, and it happens to be the New Year, so Hou Xiaoge naturally cannot miss it.

Because this time they were going deep into the enemy camp, Hou Xiaoge took off at night, which would be safer.

Hou Xiaoge flew north along the coastline. This time, he did not drop bombs on the road. The journey was smooth. He only needed to refuel once before arriving.

"It's so cold. We were promised to be immune to cold and heat!" As soon as he came out of the space, a biting cold wind blew, making Hou Xiaoge, who was only wearing a single layer of clothes, doubt his life a little.

The temperature in Yunnan Province is very comfortable. Hou Xiaoge usually wears only a single layer of clothing and for a moment he even forgot how cold it is in the north.

Peking at this time was even colder than in later generations. It was the middle of winter and the temperature at night was definitely below minus 20 degrees Celsius.

"Let's go back and have a sleep! There's no rush, we can wait and see tomorrow." Hou Xiaoge didn't like the cold. Looking at the dark sky outside, he decided to go back and have a sleep.

When he woke up, it was already bright outside. Hou Xiaoge decided to experience the day of an old Beijinger.

Putting on a tweed coat and cotton leather shoes, Hou Xiaoge left the space.

But as soon as he came out of the space, Hou Xiaoge was stunned by the situation outside. It was too deserted.

During the past year or so, whether I was fleeing in Henan Province or in other areas, as soon as the morning came, the streets were filled with the sounds of hawking, no matter what was being sold, it was always bustling.

But at this time the streets of Peking were a little deserted, giving people a feeling of old age, as if they were an eighty-year-old man.

Logically speaking, it is a main street, and a main street lined with shops. In the morning, there should be hawking sounds everywhere, but now more than 60% of the shops are closed.

"It seems that the Japanese have caused great harm to Peking!" Hou Xiaoge murmured.

I passed by several restaurants and found they were all open, but the signs hanging on the doors said they were temporarily closed.

Hou Xiaoge walked along the road until he came to the door of a restaurant and stopped when he smelled something.

"Zhenweifang!"

"Sir, what would you like to eat?" A man ran over to see Hou Xiaoge dressed and talked, and hurried out to greet him.

"What do you have to eat?"

"Supplies are tight now. In the morning, we have noodle tea, fried dough sticks, braised pork, soy milk, and braised eggs." The waiter reported quickly.

"Give me a bowl of noodle tea, five fried dough sticks, and ten fried dough rings." Hou Xiaoge said when he saw the menu written on the wooden sign.

"Sir, I have to tell you in advance that prices have increased by another 10% today." The waiter said with a smile.

“It’s okay, just go ahead.” Hou Xiaoge waved his hand.
