When Japan launched the war of aggression against China, it borrowed slogans such as "support", "* * * honor" and "prevent * * *", all of which were deception or excuses, and its real purpose was to maximize economic benefits.

Before the July 7th Incident, Japan, in order to seize the economic interests of North China, on the one hand, constantly increased its troops, on the other hand, constantly set up institutions to lead aggression. For example, the Japanese Ministry of Finance has set up a course of East Asian economic investigation, the North China Guard has set up an economic advisory department, and Manchuria Railway Corporation has set up a "Zhong Xing Company" in North China.

In addition, Japan also pieced together institutions such as "East Asia Economic Association" and "North China Economic Committee" through traitors and comprador. Through these institutions, Japan has been eyeing up, wantonly investigating and infiltrating the economy of North China.

At the same time, under the banner of "Japan-China economic support" and "bilateral cooperation", Japan forced the North China authorities to cede the development rights of aviation, railways, coal, iron ore, ports, electricity, communications, agriculture, fisheries and other industries to Japan.

At the same time, with the armed support of the troops stationed in China, the Japanese smuggled on a large scale in the name of "special trade", blatantly grabbing huge economic benefits and seriously endangering Japan's economy.

Because Japan's economic aggression in North China violated the economic interests of Britain and the United States in North China, was interfered by Britain and the United States, damaged China's economy, and was resisted by the China government and the authorities in North China, Japan's economic interests in North China could not be maximized.

However, Japan has long planned to embezzle North China and maximize its economic benefits. 1June, 934, Sakaguchi, vice chairman of the Puppet Manchukuo Association, made it clear that the Kwantung Army and the China Garrison believed that "Manchuria has been acquired, but its resources are not as good as that of North China.

The iron and coal in Shanxi are endless. If we don't pay attention, it will fall into the hands of Britain and America. Therefore, it is the most important and best opportunity to get North China at present. "So how to get to North China? The most direct and effective way is to wage war and seize sovereignty over North China by military means. Only by mastering sovereignty can we control the economy at will and seize economic benefits.

By launching the war of aggression against China through the July 7th Incident, Japan gained the dominant position in North China and controlled its economy. Subsequently, all means of plunder were used.

1937 65438+The Event Handling Outline decided by the Cabinet meeting of the Japanese government on February 24th, 2007 clearly stated that the goal is to establish an inseparable relationship between Japan and China and realize the economic integration of Japan, Manchuria and China.

The so-called integration means that unlike Manchuria, North China was turned into a Japanese colony. In order to achieve this goal, Japan began to carry out brutal direct plunder or predatory forced development in the economy.

First of all, wherever the Japanese army went, it imposed martial law on China's industrial enterprises, whether they were government enterprises or private enterprises. During the management period, the army occupies and controls the property of the enterprise free of charge.

Subsequently, the enterprise was handed over to relevant Japanese companies for operation. At that time, Zhong Xing Company, a subsidiary of Manchuria Railway, was a large enterprise handed over by the military. By August of 1938, Zhong Xing Company had received 1 1 branches in North China, covering almost all its mining, power, transportation, cotton and other industries in North China.

Entering the stalemate stage of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to maintain the economic operation of North China, Japan constantly plundered and changed the method of direct plunder by military means. Japan has established a National Policy Council, which governs some enterprises related to the economic lifeline, such as industrial and mining, transportation, etc., which is actually exclusive; Enterprises that are not ruled are designated by the Japanese to operate freely.

North China Development Corporation, a national policy company in North China, was established on1October 30th, 1938. The purpose of its establishment is clearly stated in1The Event Handling Outline decided by the Japanese on February 24th, 937, that is, it is responsible for the development, management and adjustment of major transportation (including harbors and roads), major communications, major power generation, major minerals, salt industry and its chemical industry.

After the establishment of North China Development Co., Ltd., through the so-called "comprehensive adjustment", the original business departments of various economies were quickly controlled under their own names and became their subsidiaries. Each subsidiary has another subsidiary, forming a huge monopoly network. In fact, the enterprises stipulated by it have gone far beyond the scope originally indicated, and even consumption is controlled by rationing combination.

Whether it is an enterprise controlled by the "National Policy" agency or a freely operated enterprise forcibly occupied by the Japanese, they all adopt barbaric means in their operations. Japanese operators plundered China's economic resources crazily. Take the coal industry as an example, when they are mining coal, even the coal pillars supported by the roadway are mined out, which makes the miners face life-threatening at any time.

In addition to embezzling and encroaching on enterprises, Japan has also carried out brutal manipulation and plunder in finance. Issue paper money that cannot be cashed without reserves, and force people in North China to use it by violent means. At the same time, the circulation of legal tender is prohibited, forcing ordinary people to convert legal tender into counterfeit money at a low price.

Looking back on Japan's economic plunder in North China after the July 7th Incident, it is not difficult to see that the real purpose of Japan's war of aggression against China is to obtain economic benefits to the maximum by any means.

Extended data:

Japanese aggression brought great disaster to China;

After the Japanese occupied a large area of China, they exercised strict social control over the occupied area, including not only military, economic and political rule, but also strictly restricted the personal freedom of people in China. These strict control policies, like heavy shackles, have brought great harm to the people of China.

After the Battle of Wuhan, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression turned into a stalemate. The main purpose of the Japanese "peaceful order suppression" campaign against the vast enemy-occupied areas is to eliminate military resistance in the enemy-occupied areas. They also established some social ruling institutions, such as puppet regimes in Manchuria, Faye Wong, Mongolia and North China, and practiced "controlling China with China" to serve their rule.

Set up puppet troops and a large number of guards or security forces in various places to maintain the local so-called "public order" and prevent China people from resisting. Especially in the puppet areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, we vigorously carried out the "clean-up" movement, strictly managed and controlled the masses militarily, economically and ideologically, restricted their activities and prevented them from contacting the New Fourth Army.

The Japanese army stipulates: "Knots are cut together ... If there are important bandits and bandits hiding in knots, don't report them first, and then the troops, teams or directors will find out, and they will be the same as bandits and the same crime."

The Japanese army also established some pseudo-groups, such as the so-called "maintenance society", "new people's society", "self-government committee" and "propaganda class", to help the Japanese army penetrate into the grass roots of society and induce the general public to obey Japanese rule.

The Japanese army widely carried out the "good citizen certificate" system in the occupied areas, which recorded not only the name, gender, age, address and occupation of the holder, but also the characteristics of "face" and "figure" in order to identify and strengthen personal control.

In order to transform the people in the occupied areas and make them obey the rule, the Japanese army also implemented a policy of enslavement education in the vast occupied areas, and even primary school students were forced to learn Japanese. The Japanese army also poisoned the people of China with drug paralysis, and opium drugs were rampant in the Japanese-occupied areas.

According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Manchukuo 1934, there were 9 million drug addicts, accounting for 1/3 of the population in Northeast China. The puppet Manchukuo in Northeast China established the system of monopolizing opium production. Tianjin Japanese Concession is now the world heroin manufacturing center ... with more than 0/000 pharmacies and more than 200 manufacturers.

Under the military and political high-handed policy of the Japanese army, the people of China in the occupied areas suffered greatly and lived in an extremely harsh political and economic environment.

Facing the great disaster brought to China by Japan's crazy aggression and its war of aggression, the people of China persisted in the war of resistance in the face of difficulties.

Behind enemy lines, Yan 'an became the backbone and strong fortress for China to persist in the war of resistance and promote War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory. 1935, China * * * Production Party arrived in northern Shaanxi after a long and arduous March and joined the Anti-Japanese National Liberation War.

The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army constantly rushed to the anti-Japanese battlefield, established anti-Japanese base areas in North China and Central China, recovered many lost lands, launched guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army under extremely difficult conditions, wiped out a large number of Japanese troops and protected the people of China.

With the military struggle in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China * * * Production Party explored and implemented rural reconstruction and preliminary democratic political reform in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region. Establish governments at all levels in the anti-Japanese base areas, implement a parliamentary system centered on the "three-thirds system", implement a democratic universal suffrage system, safeguard the people's rights of democracy and freedom, and implement a system of land returning to agriculture and reducing rents and interest rates.

The military forces behind the enemy lines attracted a large number of Japanese troops, reducing the pressure on the front battlefield. The enemy's rear battlefields and the frontal battlefields support each other and fight against Japanese aggression.

Southwest China, especially Sichuan, is known as "Land of Abundance", with rich products and industrious people. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Sichuan Army went out of Sichuan to join the national war of resistance, showing an epic patriotic spirit.

At the same time, a large number of military and political personnel, employees of enterprises, teachers and students of colleges and universities, and people from cultural circles poured into Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. As the coastal provinces fell one after another, the traffic between China and overseas was cut off, and the highways of Yunnan-Burma, Yunnan-Vietnam and China-India in the southwest became the main channels for China to communicate with the outside world, and a large number of military materials and commodities maintained the supply of anti-Japanese war materials through these channels.

Teachers and students from colleges and universities who moved in from coastal areas worked hard to teach, study and carry out scientific research under extremely difficult living and teaching conditions, which made new development and progress in China's higher education.

During the war years, many famous scientists made outstanding achievements in scientific research, and many literary and art workers created many inspiring works to inspire people to bravely resist the enemy. The people in the rear constantly organize various field service groups to help care for the wounded and sympathize with the anti-Japanese soldiers.

As the wartime capital of China, Chongqing has become a new political, economic and cultural center. The Japanese bombed for seven years from February 1938 to February 1944, in an attempt to completely destroy the China people's will to resist the Japanese war, but the people of China did not give in.

People in the southwest and northwest regions, centered on Chongqing, Chengdu, Kunming, Guilin, Guiyang, Xi and Lanzhou, have made outstanding contributions to supporting and persisting in the War of Resistance, and ensured the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
