Universal Group's investments in Japan have a distinctive feature, that is, they only treat Japan as an assembly factory and will never allow any core technology to flow into Japan, especially in the field of electronic products, except for the electron tube technology that Japan has already mastered.
For almost all products in the field of transistors, Universal Group does not allow them to flow into Japan. Among the products produced by Japanese electronics factories, transistors are never allowed to be used in products that can be replaced by electron tubes.
When it is really necessary to use transistors, relatively backward transistors are purchased directly from Brazil. This results in the quality of products such as telephones and radios produced in Japan being not advanced.
The US military is naturally very dissatisfied with this, but now the companies that master transistor-related processes have some relationship with Fang Lang. Whether it is Bell Labs in the United States or the Institute of Electronic Computers in Brazil, they have already reached the agreement under Fang Lang's instructions. The trade embargo agreement prohibits the transfer of transistor-related technology to Japan.
Although the US military is very powerful, Fang Lang represents the interests of the consortium. This is a group of guys who don't even give the president face. Therefore, the US military can only purchase products that need transistors from the United States and Brazil, and will never be allowed to directly sell them in Japan. Production.
This has led to a rapid increase in orders from Brazilian electronics factories, and electronic technology has begun to develop rapidly with the support of these funds. In particular, the progress of radar technology is so fast that it can be seen with the naked eye. In terms of electronic computers, there are new breakthroughs in technology every day.
Because of Fang Lang's ability to target and blockade, Japan's electronic product technology cannot directly improve rapidly through the Peninsular War as it did in history. It also prevented Japan from achieving rapid economic growth after the war like later generations.
In terms of shipping, although Global Group has already been deploying Japan's container transportation industry, Fang Lang had bad intentions from the beginning. Therefore, Global Terminal Company's construction of Japan's container freight terminal is very slow.
What's even more embarrassing is that before the outbreak of the war, Global Terminal Company had closed and renovated several important ports in Japan. The war broke out just after the original loading and unloading equipment was dismantled, which caused a great deal of trouble to the rapid replenishment of US military logistics supplies. inconvenient.
However, this method can only temporarily delay the progress of the US military's aid to the peninsula, and cannot really change history. Fang Lang knows this very well in his heart.
But he still does it, and the purpose is actually very simple. That was because progress in the northern peninsula went smoothly in the early stages of the war, compressing the southern peninsula and the first batch of U.S. troops to the Busan area. In the end, the 25th U.S. Division received orders to defend the last line of defense.
Fang Lang's purpose in delaying the progress of the U.S. military's material delivery was to give the Northern Peninsula a chance to see if it was possible for them to pull out the nail that the United States had nailed to the peninsula.
In this way, Fang Lang can quietly cause more casualties to the Americans. This can be regarded as his contribution to the Peninsula War.
Unfortunately, these are only small measures and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the Peninsula War. The docks that were blocked for construction had to speed up the construction progress under the pressure of the US military.
In order to delay the construction of the container freight terminal, Fang Lang can be considered as trying every possible means. A bunch of port machinery equipment was repeatedly delayed when it was shipped from Brazil to the Japanese terminal.
No, there was a typhoon during transportation and key parts were lost. When the equipment arrived at the terminal, it could not be installed quickly. For this reason, Fang Lang quietly leaked the secret and allowed the most protracted construction company in Brazil to win the bid and become the builder of the Japanese container terminal.
If the Americans had any objections, they could only argue with the builder, which cost the Americans a lot of time.
Finally, the logistics material transportation efficiency of the US military was seriously delayed due to problems with the construction of Japanese port terminals. It was more than three levels lower than the historical efficiency.
The 25th Division of the US Army, which lacks supplies, will naturally have to pay greater casualties when resisting the attack on the Northern Peninsula. Although this situation makes the US military very angry, there is nothing they can do about it. After all, these matters have nothing to do with the Fang family. .
On the contrary, the Fang family suffered the same heavy losses as they did. After all, the progress of the project was slow and the loss was their Fang family's business, which they did not want to see.
Of course, this situation cannot be maintained for a long time. In the end, these container terminals will definitely be completed. As for the improvement of freight efficiency after completion, Fang Lang has also thought of a corresponding method.
In short, Fang Lang has only one purpose, and that is to cause as much chaos as possible for the Yankees on his own level. If that doesn't work, it is not impossible for some of the first experimental container ships to be struck by mines and sunk. !
The U.S. government must compensate this kind of transport ship that sank due to war.
In order to better complete the mission of the US military, Universal Group also directly purchased Japanese shipyards and steel plants that they had confiscated from the US military. Even, in order to better provide logistical support to the US military, Universal Group also funded the acquisition of all aircraft manufacturing plants confiscated by the United States.
Its purpose is to prevent the US military from returning the factories confiscated from the Japanese directly to the Japanese government as it did historically. As long as these factories enter the hands of Universal Group, then these factories can only be manipulated by Universal Group. .
I believe that soon they will become pure foundries without core technology, and all Japanese workers will gradually only need to perform the most tiring manual labor.
And with Fang Lang's behavior of investing money to buy confiscated factories, if the Americans want to return these factories to the Japanese for free, they must start to seriously consider whether the person who made this suggestion will face the FBI. Investigated.
After all, you want to give the factory to the Japanese for free when you can obviously sell it for money. What do you mean? Did you accept a huge bribe from the Japanese? I believe no one wants to face such accusations!
What's more, the situation of these factories confiscated by the Americans has been clearly investigated by the Universal Group. The factories that are really valuable have long been bought by the Universal Group, and the remaining factories will be sold to the Japanese by the Americans. , and Japanese technology cannot recover quickly.
As for the large number of jobs that these factories will create due to their reopening, Fang Lang certainly cannot stop it. After all, if he does it too obviously, it may trigger an investigation by the CIA.
Fang Lang's acquisition of these factories that can manufacture and repair US military equipment actually has a very important purpose, which is to learn from others. He plans to arrange some engineers from Brazil to participate in the manufacturing and maintenance of US military equipment.
Since it is production and maintenance, corresponding manual tools are bound to be provided, and these actually contain many core technologies of US military equipment. As long as these things are fully mastered and digested and absorbed, the Fang family's military equipment manufacturing technology can Get a huge boost.
Of course, there is also the idea of causing some trouble for the US military. As for how to cause trouble, it is even simpler. Arrange a few Japanese who hate the United States to do some damage from time to time. Bomb here today, bomb somewhere tomorrow, and just repair it. The plane was bombed again by Japanese rioters.
The God's Whip Military Contracting Company, which contracted the security work in Japan, was responsible for investigating these cases. How to write the conclusion was just a matter of Fang Lang's words.
Just as the U.S. military was mobilizing its troops in full swing and hurriedly supporting the front line, at the gate of the United Nations Command in Tokyo, a young man in his twenties with obvious burn scars on his right face sat in a black car. In the Toyota car, he looked at the headquarters building opposite with cold eyes.
When he saw a row of military vehicles entering the gate of the headquarters and heading towards the office building inside, the young man did not hesitate to put the car into gear and follow the convoy into the headquarters.
The convoy in front thought it was just a normal vehicle and didn't pay much attention. When the guard at the headquarters gate saw that he came in with the convoy, he didn't think much about it.
When the car behind the convoy in front discovered that this car, which was not part of the convoy, followed them into the headquarters, they felt something was wrong. They quickly braked and turned, and the people in the car also stretched out their heads to signal the vehicle to stop for inspection.
But at this time, how could the young man obey the other party's request? Instead of stopping, he directly avoided the other party's interception and drove towards the headquarters building where the convoy was advancing.
It has to be said that as the headquarters of the United Nations Army, the defense force here is still very strong. As soon as they saw that the situation here was not right, the guards immediately gathered around, and everyone's weapons were aimed at the car, shouting loudly Signal the vehicle to stop.
But the driver didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, he clenched the steering wheel and drove towards the entrance of the headquarters building with a crazy look on his face. When the guards saw that the vehicle did not heed the warning, they opened fire without hesitation.
The gate of the headquarters is not far from the headquarters building. This time is enough time for the young man's car to approach the headquarters building.
By the time the guards' shots rang out, the car with unknown intentions had already passed the cars and people who intercepted him, and rushed into the convoy in front.
When the car rushed into the convoy, the guards had to be careful with their guns to avoid accidentally injuring the US military officers in the convoy. It was such caution that allowed the young man to seize the opportunity and drive the car to the gate of the headquarters regardless of the convoy's vehicles.
This situation naturally frightened all the guards and US military officials in the convoy, and everyone realized that something was wrong. Just when a group of U.S. military guards looked frightened and shot at the young people with their guns.
The young man who had been shot several times suddenly had a relieved smile on his crazy expression, and then the black Nissan car turned into a ball of fire directly in front of the headquarters.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and the guards who were rushing towards the car just now were directly swallowed up by the flames. The guards a little further away were also directly overturned by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and flew backwards for more than ten meters before being smashed. He fell to the ground and lost his life instantly.
The entire convoy was directly affected by the explosion. The three vehicles closest to the explosive vehicle were directly thrown away. They did not stop until they hit the wall of the headquarters building and were squeezed into a pile of scrap metal.
The glass of other vehicles a little further away was shattered instantly, and the powerful shock wave took away a group of US military officers in the car. Most of these people only had glass scratches on their appearance, but they were bleeding from seven horrific holes, and they were so dead that they could no longer die. Needless to say, this is a terrifying shock wave.
The office area on the first floor of the headquarters building was even more of a mess. The iron debris from the explosion flew everywhere, almost sweeping across the entire first floor. The hall was in a mess, and there was no one standing at all.
The people upstairs were feeling slightly better. They only felt dizzy and tinnitus. They lost their balance and sense of direction and were unsteady on their feet. At the same time, the glass was shattered by the shock wave, causing almost everyone to be scratched by the glass.
All the glass in the entire headquarters building was directly shattered, which shows how powerful the explosion was. For a time, the entire United Nations Command fell into chaos.
Fortunately for the Americans, MacArthur, the Japanese emperor and commander of the US military in Japan, was not at the headquarters at this time. Otherwise, the US military's command system would collapse.
However, it was said that the young man who blew up the US military headquarters with his car was named Izuku Hamah. He was originally a Japanese soldier and was seriously injured in the Battle of Iwo Jima. All his comrades stayed on Iwo Jima. He was the only one who survived the early battles. The injured guy was sent back to his hometown for recovery.
But before he could recover from his injury and return to the team, the little American boy exploded in his hometown of Hiroshima. In an instant, all his relatives and friends lost their lives.
With Japan's surrender, he became a lonely ghost without a home. The newly defeated Japanese economy was in decline, and of course he could not find a job. I can only live like a homeless man begging everywhere.
Two years have passed like this. Although the situation in Japan has improved slightly, people at the bottom of society like him can barely make ends meet.
It wasn't until the beginning of 1950 that a fellow Hiroshima fellow like him found him and told him that there was an organization that could provide some help to homeless people like them. Under the guidance of this person, he came to a simple warehouse in the countryside of Yokohama. inside.
Although this warehouse was simple and crude, it actually provided them with basic living security. He found that many people here had the same experience as him. Almost all their relatives were killed by two big bombs.
When such a group of people gather together, they naturally often scold the hateful Americans. Slowly, the hatred in his heart for Americans reached a level that could not be resolved at all.
Watching those American soldiers wreaking havoc on Japanese soil, sleeping with their women, and beating and scolding the Japanese at will. Every one of them was filled with indignation.
Until one day, when they finished their simple dinner and gathered in the goods yard as usual, they were ready to attack the Americans as usual.
The middle-aged Japanese man in charge of managing the warehouse stood up and led them to a wall. He opened a wooden board and saw Tianhuang's photo behind it.
In the lower right corner of Tianhuang's photo, there is a much smaller photo of the middle-aged man and Tianhuang. Izuku Hamahi never thought that this inconspicuous middle-aged man could actually know His Majesty Tianhuang, and Qualified to stand next to Tian Huang for a photo. What an honor this must be!
While he was still amazed, the middle-aged man spoke slowly.
“Fellow compatriots, haven’t you all been wondering why I should take you in and help you?
I think today is the time to tell you the answer. "
