The United States sold two steel mills, a shipyard, a light weapons factory, and several production licenses for individual weapons, along with multiple ammunition production lines, three artillery production lines, an explosives chemical factory, a truck factory with engine patents, a car factory with engine patents, three motorcycle engine patents, and a large quantity of industrial equipment such as large machine tools and hydraulic presses, totaling billions of dollars.
Receiving the telegram from His Majesty the Emperor, the excitement was palpable; everything belonged to him! All of it was his! The future Kwantung Army, under the management of Kujou, would be far stronger than that group of fools in the Imperial Army!
Moreover, these enterprises would be completely packaged and sent to the Northeast, with some skilled workers accompanying the equipment to train more technicians and establish a robust industrial base!
Excitedly, the Emperor immediately called back to instruct his nephew, Duke Kujou, to ensure that this matter was handled properly. When he returned to the country, it would be Duke Kujou who was conferred the title of Prince.
At the same time, this astonishing news reached the Cabinet. The Navy was eager to acquire the shipyard but was restrained by Naval Minister Ohashi Sen.
It was baffling; even if the shipyard moved to Manchuria, wouldn’t it still be under the Empire’s jurisdiction? Wouldn’t that shipyard still take orders from the Navy?
Similarly, Rokushou Araki Sadawo rushed to see the Emperor but was not granted an audience. The Emperor only sent a message through an attendant: "I bought this with my own money; does the Imperial Army want it too?"
Araki Sadawo merely wanted to inquire whether the military factories would accept orders from the Imperial Army. However, he never got the chance to voice his thoughts before being rebuffed by His Majesty. Within two months, Rokushou was replaced by Lin Xian Shilang, who was more compliant.
The entire Cabinet and Military Headquarters tacitly acknowledged the royal family's control over Manchuria due to Duke Kujou's purging in the Northeast, leaving them no opportunity to intervene!
The Kwantung Army is now united as one. The entire officer system consists of Kazoku members who are loyal to the Emperor and the Five Families. The soldiers have undergone reorganization; now, from top to bottom, the Kwantung Army listens only to Kujou’s commands and disregards any orders from Military Headquarters—even though Duke Kujou is still merely a Colonel.
Once the entire Kwantung Army is armed with a new industrial system, Japan's strongest military force will emerge while Military Headquarters will be completely unable to intervene in any of it. For any dissenting voices or objections, His Majesty would become furious! He would present thousands of pages of evidence against the Kwantung Army in Manchuria!
"Since you cannot manage it well, I will help you!" And since Duke Kujou is managing things well now! So I am using my own money to strengthen our imperial forces—what do you have to say about that?
On another front, selling off bankrupt enterprises at sky-high prices that had been accepted by the government—where workers were receiving relief—brought laughter from the old Finance Minister. The President was also pleased.
With billions in cash available for subsequent national infrastructure projects across America and according to Thomas Mellon Rockefeller’s plans, even more funds would flow into the Treasury in similar ways.
In this negotiation, both Duke Kujou Yuuma and Thomas Rockefeller Mellon benefited greatly. After concluding the transaction, Kujou Yuuma would become a Prince, and Manchuria would be entirely under his rule.
Thomas Mellon Rockefeller gained recognition from Congress and was appointed by the President as head of the Special Economic Action Committee, specifically responsible for special foreign trade dealings including but not limited to arms, industrial goods, industrial equipment, and intelligence.
