Chapter 270: Doing one good deed every day (Second update, please subscribe)
Who is Xiao Wang?
Zhang Wang, Zhao Qian, Sun Li, there are many people named Wang.
Jiangda reporter was just a passerby in Borneo, even though in the following decades, his wife and children separated, he seemed to be in a daze. The "Darkness of Borneo" has been satirized for decades, revealing how the people of Borneo lived a miserable life of oppression under the brutal rule of big capitalists and tyrants. Of course, they also selectively ignored why their wives brought He stayed there with his children and even remarried someone else later.
At the same time, he never forgets to defend himself and always describes his short experience in Borneo as "framed by agents".
What's the agent's name?
Call Xiao Wang.
Sometimes, there is always no reason for many things.
Who is Xiao Wang?
No one knows, but one thing is certain, Xiao Wang does exist.
About one kilometer away from the office, there is an inconspicuous three-story British-style building.
The villa hidden in the greenery seems to be no different from the British-style buildings in Sandakan.
This three-story English-style building used to be the North Borneo Company's garrison headquarters before the war, but now it is the office of the Secret Intelligence Service.
At night, Jia Wentao was packing his bags in the dormitory as usual. Just a few dozen minutes ago, he received a call from his boss and went to his office.
Cheng Pengan, the director of the Secret Intelligence Bureau, said directly to his confidant when Jia Wentao first walked into this somewhat messy office.
"Now, there is a mission that requires you to go to Japan."
Then, Cheng Pengan told him about the temporary mission he was going to perform in Japan.
"In short, after you get there, your task is to use the recruitment of female workers as a cover to start work in Kyushu to pave the way for our next work. You can get all the resources you need, money, Food and medicine.”
Why choose Jia Wentao? Because he can speak Japanese. He even lived in Japan for several years when he was a teenager, so he is naturally very familiar with Japan. He wanted to use his knowledge of Japan to carry out this mission.
"This task is related to the future of Borneo. I personally recommended you to the boss. After all, no one is more familiar with Japan than you."
"You can do it, my old classmate."
Jia Wentao said directly.
“Don’t say everything in such a nice way. If you say it’s nice, I went to Kyushu to recruit female workers, if you say it’s ugly, you just asked me to be a human trafficker, “Sister Nanyang”, right? ?”
Jia Wentao’s mind immediately came to mind. The stories he heard in Japan when he was young about the women who came to Nanyang to seek life were actually just prostitutes.
There used to be many Japanese prostitutes here in Sandakan, but they all retreated with the Japanese army.
"Look at what you said is so ugly, this is a real job recruitment."
Cheng Pengan said with a smile.
“We are currently building textile factories, garment factories and other factories here, which need a large number of female workers. They are all serious industries. When the time comes, we will give them one-year work visas, and you will be responsible for recruiting them. ..."
Cheng Pengan, who was afraid that his old classmates would reject him, said again.
“Besides, the people over there are very hungry now. They are not having a good time this winter. I heard that people are starving to death everywhere, and it is not uncommon for people to eat people. Go over there, He is doing good deeds, so how can he be a trafficker?”
Then Cheng Pengan took out another file and said.
"You take a look at this first,"
After opening the file, I looked at the photos in the file. The photos were full of skinny people who looked like skeletons.
"Is this... is it so serious over there now?"
Everyone has a desire to hide. The miserable situation of the hungry people in the photo made Jia Wentao a little unable to bear it.
"Last year, grain production was greatly reduced, and the per capita supply was only more than 100 grams. This meager amount of bread was all the food that many civilians had every day."
It is difficult for them to imagine how a person can survive on more than 100 grams. Brown rice is the only food available to many civilians here, so hunger is inevitable.
"This ship..."
Pointing to a cargo ship in the photo, Cheng Pengan continued.
"It is allocated to you by the bureau. It can hold 5,000 tons of rice. After you go there, you can use the rice as a reward to hire unmarried women between the ages of 13 and 20. If they come to work with us, you can get a year's advance advance. Give them the salary, this rice can save lives, it can be considered a good deed." After looking at the file, Jia Wentao thought for a while, and finally sighed helplessly.
"Okay, I will only stay there for a year at most. After one year..."
"I will definitely let you come back after one year! That is not our main business, secret intelligence After all, we still have to do intelligence work."
Recalling the promise made by his old classmate, Jia Wentao took a deep breath and said to himself.
"One year, that is, one year..."
When he was about to leave this narrow dormitory, he took another look at the wooden barracks. When it rained, the raindrops hitting the roof of the wooden house and the sound of the beeping tower always reminded him of studying at Southwest Associated University. On a rainy day, the sound of raindrops hitting the tin roof was clearer than here. What was he thinking at that time?
In addition to learning, it is victory in the war.
Now I finally have the opportunity to go to Japan.
But he didn’t want to go at all. Why didn’t he want to go? Because compared to going to Japan as a winner, the work here is far less important.
But...
It’s just one year!
Once again, after talking to himself like this, Jia Wentao slung the heavy backpack on his right shoulder, took the steps of a young man, and stepped out of the room like a meteor, leaving this heavily guarded place. Small courtyard.
Half an hour later, he got on a jeep and went directly to the dock, where a ship full of supplies was waiting for him. Soon the ship sailed out of the port against the sunset. Looking at Sandakan shrouded in the glow, and looking at this city that is getting better and better with each passing day, Jia Wentao's eyes are full of reluctance.
After all, in the past six months, he had witnessed with his own eyes how this place had quickly returned to pre-war prosperity from ruins, and even vaguely showed the shadow of a metropolis.
Perhaps, when I come back a year later, I won’t recognize this place.
...
"Our people have already set off."
Looking at the boss standing by the window, Cheng Pengan replied respectfully.
“We brought 5,000 tons of rice. According to calculations, we should be able to exchange for tens of thousands of workers.”
How many women can one ton of rice exchange for?
Ten?
Twenty?
Or more?
Actually, Li Yian is not very interested in specific numbers. What is he concerned about?
The arrival of this group of workers can alleviate the gender ratio here to a certain extent. This is the most important thing.
A country without children has no future.
This is true for Borneo, and it is also true for Xiaoli. If 1 million women of childbearing age go to Borneo, what does it mean?
Not only did Borneo gain 1 million laborers, but 1 million children were deprived of their reproductive rights. At the same time, 1 million people here in Borneo had their reproductive rights.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Borneo.
Although I don’t have a good impression of Xiaozhi, one thing I have to admit is that Xiaozhi’s education is still very successful. Without exception, those women have read books. Whether they are in the education of their children in the future, Either working in a factory has great benefits.
In terms of improving the quality of the population, whether it is introducing Japanese women or German women, it will be helpful to adjust the population knowledge structure.
After all, in Tangshan in this era, there are too few educated women, especially women with higher education.
"Very good, pay attention to following up on this work. The introduction of labor services is related to the long-term development of Borneo. Don't have so many worries. We are doing good things."
Yes. , if you do one good deed every day, you will achieve three thousand merits.
We are here to save people!
Of course he is doing a good deed, since the boss said so, even if it is not that, he is definitely doing it. Regardless, Cheng Pengan still has some questions.
"Boss, I have a question, what if they don't want to stay?"
Faced with his subordinate's question, Li Yian thought for a moment and then asked.
“So we must be committed to building a place where people will not want to leave when they come here. This is the Borneo we want to build. If this place can give them hope, it can give them A better life. So why do those people want to leave here?”
Not only will they not leave, but they will rush into this hot land.
