The next day, March 6th, 1917, at the gate of the Quzhou Coalition Government, the highest official of the Coalition Government and the county head of the Quzhou Coalition Government, Chu Tianyun, held an emergency press conference. At the same time, the representative of the Ford family in China, Johnny Ford, also arrived.
Shen Bao, Ta Kung Pao, Tianjin Tabloid, and several other influential newspapers in the country were invited by Chu Tianyun. The explosion on the Quzhou railway the night before had attracted the attention of the ambassadors in Shanghai in the past two days.
The little-known Quzhou County actually wiped out a security team composed of retired Japanese soldiers in a military conflict!
Japan and China were separated by a strip of water. Since the Meiji Restoration, this weak island country had been challenging China's authority in Asia at a terrifying speed.
In the 1894 - 1895 Sea War, the Beiyang Navy, known as Asia's number one navy, was defeated by the Japanese navy. From then on, the Japanese embarked on the path of hegemony.
"Hello, Mr. Chu Tianyun. I heard that your army had a fierce military conflict with a security team of 300 people at the Quzhou railway station. Your army wiped out the security team at the cost of heavy casualties.”
The young reporter from Shen Bao hit the nail on the head. At present, only the Renaissance Army knew the true number of casualties in this military conflict.
"Are you saying that I, Chu Tianyun, lied about the military situation?! The number of casualties in the 1st Regiment of the Renaissance Army has exceeded 500, and 200 of them are seriously injured. But you're suspecting my soldiers?"
Chu Tianyun's voice was cold, and his aura changed. His aggressive tone made the reporter from Shen Bao speechless.
"My subordinates told me that the 300-man security team is made up of retired Japanese soldiers. Each of them has a standard rifle of the Japanese army. I have to admit that these 300 security team members are very good at fighting. Otherwise, the casualties of our Renaissance Army would not be so high!”
"I can tell you clearly that there will be a battle in the future. It will be a battle of fate that will shake the foundation of the country. There can't be two Z hearts in Asia!!!”
"The Renaissance Army will continue to work hard to improve the quality of our soldiers and make up for the huge gap with the world powers. At the same time, as the highest leader of the Quzhou autonomous coalition government, I order that from today onwards, the Quzhou railway station will be free from the control of Japan's Mitsui Conglomerate and will be managed by the Quzhou autonomous coalition government.!”
"In addition, I, Chu Tianyun, will use the major newspapers here to advertise for my Quzhou. At present, my Quzhou lacks a large number of technical talents. No matter what your specialty is, you can find a satisfactory job in Quzhou!”
When Chu Tianyun finished speaking, the people of Quzhou below the stage spontaneously applauded. Chu Tianyun's prestige in Quzhou was unmatched. Even if the Heavenly King came, he could not replace Chu Tianyun's status in Quzhou!
Hou Weidong was a little embarrassed. As an intern reporter, he had just questioned the leader of a warlord. Most importantly, the Quzhou warlord in front of him had elite soldiers under him.
However, he didn't agree with the saying that there would be a war on the day of Z. There were young people from Z country who were studying in Japan. Japan even supported them. How could there be a war?
After the press conference ended, Johnny Ford stayed in Chu Tianyun's office. During the press conference, Johnny Ford angrily expressed his stance on the assassination attempt on Japan. As a citizen of Militan, he was actually assassinated by Japan. This made the young master of the Ford family feel ashamed.
"Chu, I will definitely take revenge. I will definitely ask the ambassador of the M Nation to impose diplomatic sanctions on Japan. As for the operation rights of the Quzhou railway, I will give it to you.!!”
Ever since the design of the electric starter device was handed over to Johnny Ford, Chu Tianyun and Johnny Ford had formed a deep business relationship.
"Then I, Chu Tianyun, will thank you in advance, Young Master Johnny. Next month, Quzhou needs a batch of industrial machine tools made in America. I hope Young Master Johnny can think of more ways!”
Chu Tianyun's motive for doing this was firstly, Quzhou needed industrial machine tools, and secondly, it was to let Johnny get some benefits from Z. Otherwise, why would Johnny trust Chu Tianyun so much?
"Chu, you're really my lucky star. If it weren't for the fact that Z country's industrial base is too weak, I think I would have convinced my father to put the car production in Z country!”
" Then let's look forward to it. The industrial base is weak, and I can slowly develop it. Didn't the great Militia also develop slowly?”
"Chu, your personality is a little like that Northeastern King. You're tactful and like to do things yourself. As your good friend, I promise you that if you can take down Zhejiang, M Lijian will be very willing to support you!”
Chu Tianyun knew that without the support of the superpowers, his development would be very slow. If he could get the support of Mr. Mulligan, this speed would be much faster.
As for the railway explosion in Quzhou, it was about to spread like wildfire at a terrifying speed. It was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. Chu Tianyun's name was also slowly known by the Chinese people this time. This young local warlord had unexpectedly made a big news and seized the right to operate the Quzhou railway from the Japanese.
(Shameless, tickets! I guess I'll be needing the next few chapters. I hope my brothers will support me when the time comes!）
