It is true that Gao Jiu can make money, but he also feels a little stressed.

If you don’t be in charge, you don’t know that the firewood and rice are expensive. Gao Jiu now spends a lot of money. Just the Taohuashan guerrillas have a monthly normal expense of 100,000 yuan. Ruili has built this stall, and the monthly normal expenses are no less than 100,000 yuan.

Other additional expenses are even more terrifying, such as Ruili Construction Research Institute, material warehouses and other infrastructure projects, and spending money on weapons to Vietnam's underground party guerrillas, hundreds of thousands of oceans were spent in the blink of an eye.

Next, Gao Jiu plans to go to the Golden Triangle, where there will be more places to spend money. Infrastructure, it is a big deal, and he has to spend a lot of money to buy a large amount of supplies such as grain to appease the people of all ethnic groups in the Golden Triangle area. The money needed is astronomical.

Although Gao Jiu is still relatively relaxed at the moment, he plans to make more money.

This time when he came to Vietnam, Gao Jiu made a fortune. However, the money was a one-time deal. He also thought that he could make more money from Vietnam, preferably the kind of person who had long-term income.

Gao Jiu thought for a long time and started to think about the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway is one of the earliest railways built in China. The railway is 859 kilometers long and is divided into two major sections: the southern section is in Vietnam and is called the Vietnam section; from the old street market on the Sino-Vietnam border, it passes through the capital Hanoi to Haiphong City, with a length of 394 kilometers. It started construction in 1901 and was completed in 1903. The northern section is in China, and from the old street market, it crosses the Honghe Railway Bridge and enters Hekou County, Yunnan Province, and goes to Kunming through Bisezhai.

As we all know, railway transportation is larger and the cost is lower than road transportation. Now that the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway has been interrupted, the pressure on the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway will be so great. Not only that, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway can directly connect to the Haifang Port in Vietnam, and the transportation distance is closer than detouring through Myanmar. It can be said that if the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway can be opened, it will be of great significance to China's great anti-Japanese cause.

When Gao Jiu came to Vietnam, he naturally had the idea of ​​the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway. He wanted to use this railway to make another fortune.

Using the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway can obtain two benefits. On the one hand, Gao Jiu can import a large amount of materials from the United States and Germany to transport them back to the country to earn the difference. On the other hand, it is to charge railway tolls.

Gao Jiu first found Luka, the head of the underground party in North Vietnam and others, and discussed with them the feasibility of opening the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

Luca said: "This railway was originally accessible in Vietnam. However, most of the southern part of Vietnam is still controlled by the French Governor's Office, and the transportation of materials cannot be transported.

Gao Jiu asked: "Can you speak with the French governor? Can you reach an agreement with them to pass through southern Vietnam and allow them to charge tolls.

In this part of North Vietnam, you can collect tolls with me and you two."

Today, due to the control of a large area of ​​land, weapons and equipment in the northern Vietnam region have been greatly improved. The underground party guerrillas in the northern Vietnam region have been reorganized and the first underground party division of the northern Vietnam region has been established, with four regiments and more than 8,000 people under its jurisdiction. The current underground party leader is full of confidence.

He said, "Mr. Gao, let's go to the south together and drive away all the French there. At that time, the railway is all under our control. You can transport whatever you want. Wouldn't it be better?"

Gao Jiu didn't think so. First of all, he didn't have that big appetite, and from the perspective of the international situation, he couldn't do so.

Now that the Pacific War has not yet broken out, Vietnam, Germany, Japan, France, and the United States can do business here, and the passage of ships on the sea will not be hindered.

If the entire Vietnam could be controlled, the Japanese would first refuse, and the Germans and the French Vichy government would be angered. Gao Jiu would not be able to buy supplies from Germany, and the sea passage would inevitably be cut off by the Japanese Navy, which would be even more unfavorable to China's war of resistance.

Secondly, if you want to attack southern Vietnam, relying solely on the power of the underground party guerrillas is far from enough. You also have to rely on the French such as Luca. However, the French are unwilling to fight, and this matter will not work.

Third, Gao Jiu did not want to get involved in the French war, and he still had a lot to do.

Gao Jiu persuaded the head of the underground party in the northern Vietnam to give up this idea. For the underground party, he could reach an agreement with the French in southern Vietnam, provide the underground party with time to develop in northern Vietnam, and to recover from the railway, which he could accept.

After discussion, Luca decided to go to General Russell and others to do their jobs first, and he asked Gao Jiu to go with him.

General Russell is now in charge of the French army in northern Vietnam. It takes a lot of money to eat, drink, defecate, sleep. They have now cut off contact with the French Vichy government, and they can no longer get the military expenditure from France.

Although General Daigaole promised to provide them with supplies, the distance cannot quench their near thirst. General Daigaole and their funds are also very tight, and Russell has no idea whether they can maintain their expenses for a long time.

In the past, they collected security management fees from local governments at all levels in the occupied areas, but now, most of the local governments at all levels have become democratic governments established by the Vietnamese underground party, and it is somewhat unreasonable to collect security management fees. Although the underground party promised to provide them with some supplies, it felt very bad to control this source of economic resources in the hands of others and there was no guarantee.

General Russell also had plans to use the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway. When he heard that Gao Jiu and Luka were also making ideas in this regard, everyone hit it off.

General Russell personally sent a telegram to the French Governor General and negotiated with him about the matters related to the opening of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway between the two sides.

For the French Governor's Office in Vietnam, the northern part of Vietnam is also one of their important economic sources. It produces coal, rubber and other materials there, and can export large quantities of these materials, or transport large quantities of industrial products from France for sale in the northern part of Vietnam.

Now that the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway has been cut off, their losses are quite large. Since Russell and others made this suggestion, the Governor's Office was also moved. He quickly replied with a telegram and asked Russell and others to send someone to Saigon for consultation in person.

After discussion, Luka decided to go to Saigon in person to negotiate.

Luca is now the backbone of the French in northern Vietnam. Gao Jiu was worried that Luca would have problems and decided to escort Luca to Saigon himself.

Of course, Gao Jiu couldn't do anything. He not only wanted to make money by using the Yunnan-Burma Railway in the northern part of Vietnam, but also turned his attention to the country.

He first contacted the King of Yunnan through Long Yingyuan and agreed with him that the railway would be smooth, and he and the King of Yunnan would each collect tolls for railways in Yunnan. In the end, the King of Yunnan agreed to use the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway to pass through Yunnan from Vietnam, and Gao Sanqi and Gao Jiu received 30% of the tolls.

Next, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Ouyang Xue, asking her to go directly to find her wife and convey his conditions to the big shots.

Nowadays, the financial difficulties of the National Government are almost all of the foreign exchange from exporting materials such as tungsten sand, tung oil, pig bristles, etc. to foreign countries through the Yunnan-Burma Highway in exchange for the weapons and other military products needed.

Not only that, a large amount of civilian materials also need to be transported through the Yunnan-Burma Highway, resulting in the Yunnan-Burma Highway being too busy and inefficient.

If the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway could be opened, it would naturally be unsuccessful for the National Government. The big man agreed to Gao Jiu's conditions without hesitation.

After all this was agreed, Gao Jiu, Li Ganhong and others pretended to be Luka's Vietnamese servants and followed him to Saigon.

After communication with the French Governor General's Office, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway Administration approved the dispatch of a special train with only three cars from the northern part of Vietnam, entering southern Vietnam and directly reaching Saigon.

Gao Jiu caused harm to the Japanese countless times, and Tian Huang could not bear it anymore and ordered the Japanese base camp to eliminate Gao Jiu no matter what. The Japanese base camp lost a lot of money this time, and the most important thing was that it was too embarrassing, which made them very annoyed.

The Ninth Air Force can no longer use the airports in Vietnam and can no longer threaten the Yunnan-Burma Highway. Seeing a large number of resources continuously entering the Kuomintang-controlled area through the Yunnan-Burma Highway, this will add a lot of difficulties to the Japanese army's subsequent operations.

The Japanese base camp was really anxious and decided to form a special department to deal with Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu is the lucky star of Yoshihisa Hamada. Because of Gao Jiu, he has been a small intelligence consultant at the grassroots level and has now become the acting director of the Special High School Section of the North China Expeditionary Force. As long as he can get a formal appointment, his rank can be promoted to major general of the army.

Next, a bigger surprise came: the Japanese base camp was going to set up a special class to deal with Gao Jiu, and let Hamada Yoshihiro participate.

Hamada Yoshihiro explained the work of the Special High School Course and flew to Guangzhou by plane.

Guangzhou, the Japanese South China Expeditionary Force Headquarters.

The Japanese base camp wanted to take advantage of Gao Jiu's opportunity in Vietnam to eliminate Gao Jiu in one move. This time, the best agents in the country were mobilized to form a special class, and designated Hamada Yoshihiro to serve as the head of the section chief, and the deputy head of the special high class of the Shanghai Expedition Army, Hejian Dasaku as the deputy head of the deputy head of the Shanghai Expedition Army.

Hamada Yoshihiro already knew Gao Jiu very well. He knew that Gao Jiu was very good. If there were no capable people to deal with him, no matter how good the plan was, it would be useless. According to his suggestion, the Japanese side specially transferred snipers and blasting masters from the Japanese army this time, and invited four Japanese swordsmen.

In order to cover up, Hamada Yoshihiro and others did not go to the French Governor's Office in Vietnam under the name of Japanese officials, but flew to Hong Kong first and then to Saigon in the name of merchants.

At Saigon Railway Station, Luca got off the train, and he brought only two French guards, Gao Jiu and Li Ganhong dressed as ordinary Vietnamese soldiers, carrying gifts to follow them behind them.

The French Governor's Office sent a French major Frank. He was very familiar with Luca and led a team of French soldiers to welcome Luca and others at the railway station.

Frank and Luca got into the car, Gao Jiu and others got on a truck, and the car drove away from the train station and headed to the Governor's Mansion.

On the way, Frank chatted with Luca for a few words, and he asked with interest: "Is that Chinese Gao Jiu really as magical as described in the newspaper?"

Luca nodded and said, "He is the smartest oriental man I have ever met. From what I see, I am afraid it is even better than what is described in the newspaper."

As he said that, he described his impression of Gao Jiu in detail.

Frank said with some contempt, "I hope to see such a person before."

Roka remembered Gao Jiu’s explanation and asked, “Have any Japanese come to the Governor’s Mansion recently?”

Frank said: "After you occupied Hanoi Airport, the Japanese Consulate in Saigon came to see Mr. Governor and talked about this matter. Mr. Governor said that this matter had nothing to do with the French Governor's Office, and the Japanese did not say anything else. They had not been here in the past few days."

The French Governor's Office is located in the most prosperous area in Saigon City. The road in front of the gate is very strange. It is a fork in the road, and two roads pass by the Governor's Office respectively.

The French were of a very strict hierarchy. After entering the Governor's Mansion, Frank arranged for Luca to move into a luxurious hotel, and his men arranged for an ordinary reception.

Luca disagreed and insisted on letting the people he brought to live with him.

Frank understood his thoughts. Now Luca is in a hostile camp with them, so he should be careful. Frank agreed to Luca's request and arranged all four entourages he brought, including Gao Jiu and others, into the hotel.

After Gao Jiu settled down, he wanted to go out to check the terrain, but the staff in the hotel asked him not to go out casually. Gao Jiu had to stay in the hotel, wanting to wait for the night to go out to check the terrain inside the Governor's Mansion and the surrounding areas.

At this moment, Hamada Yoshihiro himself also came to Saigon. Instead of entering the Japanese consulate, they came to a Japanese company, a secret contact station for the Japanese intelligence agency in Saigon.

Kono, the first-class secretary of the Japanese Consulate in Saigon, received a call from Kamidao and quietly came to Japan Co., Ltd.

After introducing each other, Yoshiji Hamada learned about the situation of the French Governor's Office from Kono.

After introducing the situation, Kono said: "According to the information provided by the personnel we placed in the French Governor's Office, French rebel generals Luca and others will come to the French Governor's Office in the next few days to meet with French Governor Thomas."

Hamada Yoshiji asked, “What do they want to talk about?”

Kawano said angrily: "These damn French people, they don't want to fight each other, they want to discuss cooperation and business."

Hamada Yoshiji's eyes lit up. He suddenly felt a special feeling, thinking that this matter was related to Gao Jiu. Because Gao Jiu was not only a soldier, but also a kidnapper, a very economically savvy kidnapper. The conversation between Luca and others with French Governor Thomas may be related to Gao Jiu, and it is even possible that Gao Jiu would come to Saigon with Luca and others.
