Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 365 New Steel Alliance

365 New Steel Alliance

In early April, Ye Qingshan received a telegram from his hometown in Wenzhou.

"Boss, my hometown said.

They have already received the machinery and equipment we shipped over.

Commander Sun sent a regiment to protect the machinery and equipment being transported into the South Yandang Mountains.

Your father's telegram said that the site selection for the cement plant has been completed.

After the equipment arrives, the cement plant can be built in at most half a month.

Then it can be put into production.

However, there is a lack of transportation capacity in my hometown, especially trucks.”

Xiao Wusheng was standing next to him, reading the contents of the telegram to Ye Qingshan.

Ye Qingshan was fishing by the lake.

“Well, regarding the truck, don’t worry at home.

There will be more later.

I have ordered one hundred trucks from the Anthony family in California.

Starting next month, these trucks will be shipped to the country in batches.

How is the situation in the army?

"Commanders Zhou and Sun said in their telegrams that there is nothing going on in the army.

At present, the Japanese are focusing their main energy on the Battle of Xuzhou.

There is no offensive posture towards the Jiangnan area.

Therefore, our southern Zhejiang region is relatively peaceful.

However, during this period, other national troops were constantly being transferred from the south to northern Jiangsu to participate in the war.

But at present, there is no order to mobilize our 86th Army."

"In addition, Commander Chen also sent a telegram to ask when the artillery production line you promised could be delivered.

If possible, I hope you can help us purchase a batch of weapons and ammunition in the United States.

The battle situation at the Xuzhou front is fierce, and weapons and ammunition support is urgently needed. "

The news that Ye Qingshan is currently in the United States cannot be concealed.

After all, Ye Qingshan has become somewhat famous on the west coast of the United States in the past month.

Ye Qingshan not only bought land and factories on the west coast, but also invested in factories owned by other conglomerates.

In just one month, Ye Qingshan spent more than 50 million US dollars on the West Coast.

This is already a huge deal.

Therefore, the news naturally spread back to China.

“I am currently discussing the artillery production line with the arms dealers in the United States.

should be no problem.

But that may have to wait.

Even if it is, I will help the National Government to pull back a set of artillery production lines.

The artillery produced was too late to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou.

On the contrary, it is still in time to send a batch of arms to support the Xuzhou battlefield."

Ye Qingshan remembered that in history, the Battle of Xuzhou was ultimately a tragic victory for the National Army.

Ye Qingshan's National Army defeated the Japanese in one of the few major battles during the War of Resistance.

But if it can help, the victory of the national army in this battle will be greater.

Ye Qingshan was not stingy in helping.

“Call Commander Chen back.

At the end of this month, I will ship a batch of arms back to the country.

When the time comes, transport it to Hong Kong and ask them to send someone to pick it up.

It just so happened that during this period of time, through the relationship between Joseph and Pete's sister, I was able to establish connections with more arms dealers in the United States.

Subsequently, it will be more convenient to purchase arms.

Moreover, it is not limited to army equipment.

As long as I have money, I can get fighter planes and warships."

Ye Qingshan has been on the west coast of the United States for more than a month and has achieved great social results there.

It's not just about business investment.

With Joseph's introduction, Ye Qingshan also got to know many politicians on the west coast of the United States.

From the current perspective, Ye Qingshan has achieved good results in the past month in the United States.

Not long after, Joseph also arrived at the lake with his fishing gear.

"You are late."

Ye Qingshan said without even turning his head, just staring at the fishing float on the lake.

"Nonsense, you think I'm you, so free."

Joseph said unhappily as he put on the bait.

“I heard that you have resigned as the Minister to Shanghai.

Preparing to run for California Senate? "

"Huh? You know?

Oh, I forgot.

Of course you knew about it because of that kid Pete tipped off."

Joseph was in a good mood. He cast out the fishing line, sat on the chair, and said with a smile on his old face, "This is also partly due to your blessing.

Let the Anthony family and the Pete family be willing to strongly support me in my campaign for the California Senator.

Originally, my roots were on the East Coast.

Unexpectedly, this time the situation opened up on the West Coast.

There is an opportunity to run for a Senate seat.”

"Are you sure?"

Ye Qingshan also hopes that Joseph can obtain a higher position in the United States.

This will also be of great benefit to Ye Qingshan.

"Who knows.

Anyone who is qualified to run for senator must have some talent.

I can’t say I’m sure to win.”

"It's okay, Senator. I've booked it for you."

Ye Qingshan said confidently.

"Oh, such a big mouth.

You don't really think that all you need to do to run for senator is spend money.

not that simple.

We need more connections at the top and votes from local Californians.”

Joseph thought that Ye Qingshan was going to help him spend money on the election.

“It’s nothing more than trying to get more financial groups to support you.

It just so happens that I have a small project here right now.

Prepare to discuss it with Anthony and others.

This should attract many consortium families from the West Coast to join in.

By then, more consortium families will support you, and a mere senator will be nothing.

In the future, there will be a chance for you to become the governor of California."

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but you seem to be getting better at bragging."

"Hey, a fish is on."

Joseph caught a fish and happily put it in the basket next to him.

Ye Qingshan was speechless. He seemed to have little talent for fishing. After working for half a day, he didn't catch a single fish.

Fortunately, Ye Qingshan was just killing time, so it didn’t matter whether he caught any fish or not.

"Little Wusheng."

Ye Qingshan shouted.

The young martial artist next to him immediately took out a document and handed it to Ye Qingshan.

Ye Qingshan casually put it next to Joseph.

"Take a look at the contents and you'll know I'm not bragging."

After Ye Qingshan finished speaking, he continued to stare at the lake and the fishing float that was sinking and sinking.

It looks like he's about to take the bait.

Joseph picked up the document that Ye Qingshan handed over curiously and started reading it.

Soon, Joseph's face was filled with shock.

“This…are the data above all true?

Your steel mill has achieved a technological breakthrough and tripled its steel production?"

"How about it?

Do you still think I'm bragging?"

"Haha, I caught a fish too."

Ye Qingshan excitedly reeled in the line, and a fat white salmon was caught.

Joseph was still looking through the data report on increasing the steel plant's capacity that Ye Qingshan gave him seriously.

After Joseph finished reading, he looked at Ye Qingshan seriously and said, "You are always able to surprise people.

However, this time the surprise was a little too big.

If, in your report on the increase in steel plant production, the data are all true.

Then, the world steel industry will undergo a complete change in the future.

The scale of the steel industry pie is no less than that of your penicillin pharmaceutical factory.

And even more important.

You can't eat this cake yourself.

No, even if you join forces with the Anthony family and the Pitt family, you still can’t handle it.

The steel industry is different from your previous penicillin pharmaceutical factory. It is a brand new drug and there is no competition.

The steel industry now has an alliance of giants.

You want to take food from their bowls.

You must gather a group of powerful allies, otherwise your new technology will only serve as a gift to others."

"I know.

So, that's why I came to discuss this with you.

Take a look at how I should operate to attract more financial groups to join.

So what if it's the Steel Giants Alliance? We are not incapable of recruiting people."

Ye Qingshan has made up his mind to bind more American conglomerate families on the West Coast through the steel industry.

After hearing what Ye Qingshan said, Joseph's eyes were also lit with ambition.

He also keenly realized that this might be his opportunity.

Ye Qingshan really wants to use this new steelmaking technology to unite more consortium families on the West Coast.

Form a new Steel Alliance.

That would be a very powerful force.

Helping him become a senator is no big deal.

There may be a good opportunity to run for governor in the future.

“Don’t rush this matter, take it slow.

Tonight, I will take you to meet Anthony and Juliet, and first recruit their two major families to join us.

Then, contact other consortium families and try to win over as many consortium families as possible.

This cake is big, no matter how many people share it, we can still have enough to eat.”

Joseph took the initiative to plan for Ye Qingshan.

"No problem, I'll listen to you."

Ye Qingshan said with a smile.

Now, the interests of the two are completely tied together.

Regardless of whether Ye Qingshan marries Alice in the future, the relationship between the two sides will be extremely close.

The bond of interests is sometimes more solid than family ties.

That night, Ye Qingshan and Joseph went to Anthony's house.

Ye Qingshan, Joseph, Anthony, and Juliet had a secret discussion in the reception room until late at night.

In the end, the four reached a consensus.

Getting ready to set up a new West Coast Steel Alliance.

Ye Qingshan is responsible for providing technology, Joseph is responsible for government communication, and Anthony and Juliet are responsible for contacting more West Coast consortium families.

They're going to do something big.

“Ye, this is the correct way to pan for gold on the West Coast.

This is much more reliable than your previous method of staking out land and trying to find gold."

Anthony changed his opinion of Ye Qingshan again.

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Ye Qingshan smiled mysteriously.

In the following days, Joseph was busy helping Ye Qingshan handle more government procedures.

Anthony and Juliet used their family connections to contact more consortium families and prepare to recruit them into the group.

Ye Qingshan goes fishing and walks his dog every day, and occasionally attends parties with Alice, Pete and others.

“We can’t live like this.

If I continue like this, I'll become decadent.

We have to finish dealing with things in the United States and return home!"

*

It was mid-April, and that day Anthony asked his servant to contact Ye Qingshan.

"Mr. Ye, my master invites you to attend the party tonight.

Said he had something important to discuss. "

"okay, I get it."

After the servants of Anthony's family left, Ye Qingshan whispered, "It seems that Anthony has almost pulled in enough people.

I don’t know which consortium families he has brought in.”

In the evening, Ye Qingshan took Alice to the party as scheduled.

When he arrived at Anthony's manor, Ye Qingshan found that there were quite a few people coming tonight.

There are many luxury cars parked outside the manor.
