On the main street of Quzhou, the lights of the Fu family's coal trading company were still on. Recently, the railway near Quzhou had increased the railway transportation fees in response to the development of Chinese industry and commerce.
The Fu family's coal trading company had increased the railway transportation fees for coal from Fujian to Hangzhou, Shanghai, and even Nanjing by 10%. Moreover, the coal that was transferred to the north had to pass through Quzhou.
"Master, this is the transportation fee for last month, as well as a train from our coal trading company. It was detained by the Japanese for possession of firearms.”
Fu Donglai finished the glass of wine on the table and became depressed. The Japanese had become more and more arrogant in the Southeast.
However, the Japanese soldiers stationed at the Quzhou train station had a military background. The consortium was an extremely important force in the Japanese army. Fu Donglai would never fight with the Japanese. However, the Japanese were getting more and more greedy!
"Master, Marshal Chu is here!"
At this moment, the servant boy at home also sent a message. Fu Donglai was shocked. Marshal Chu, Chu Tianyun's army had expanded in size over the past few months. It was several times larger than when they first entered Quzhou City. Good heavens, on the road from the original level weir to Quzhou City, one carriage after another was pulling standard weapons and ammunition.
In the western part of Quzhou City, the sound of gunshots during the training of new recruits was much more intense than the sound of gunshots during the original war. In addition, Chu Tianyun was not stingy at all on the nearby mountains. Large amounts of silver were invested in the artillery unit. Therefore, recently, the people near Quzhou City were used to the sound of gunshots. It would be strange if they did not hear the sound of gunshots one day.
With soldiers, cannons, money, and factories, Chu Tianyun had developed a large industrial zone under the eyes of so many warlords. Who would believe it!
However, Chu Tianyun was very supportive of the development of the industrial and commercial sector. He was also encouraging companies like Fu Donglai's coal trading company to compete with the foreign countries.
China's coal should be decided by the Chinese themselves!
"Boss Fu, I came uninvited because I have a presumptuous request.”
Chu Tianyun, who was sitting on a chair, also saw the worry on Fu Donglai's face and went straight to the point.
"Boss Fu, you also know how important the railway is to the economic development of a region. Our Quzhou is located in the southwest of Zhejiang. The railway in Quzhou connects several provinces.”
"The iron ore that our Quzhou urgently needs now also needs to be transported from Fujian. However, the operation rights of this railway are in the hands of the Japanese. If one day, the Japanese are unhappy and directly close our Quzhou railway station, won't our Quzhou's economic development have to listen to them?”
Chu Tianyun's voice also became louder. No matter where the Japanese went, they liked to occupy the railway!
Just like in the northeast, Zhang Zuolin wanted to take back the South Manchurian railway several times, but he was rejected. There was no other way. The Japanese were one of the world's great powers, and their armed forces were definitely not something that the three northeastern provinces could compete with.
However, Quzhou was different!
The Quzhou railway was even more different from the Nanman railway!
The management rights of the Quzhou railway were controlled by the consortium, not by the Japanese military!
In addition, Quzhou's geographical location was safer than the three northeastern provinces.
With the Renaissance Army's influence in Quzhou, they could easily change the ownership of Quzhou's railway station and push the blame to the Americans. They could turn this military conflict into a commercial competition.
"Boss Fu, this is the Renaissance Army's latest plan to recover the Quzhou railway. We need to borrow a few carriages from Boss Fu!”
They would blow up the train carriages and pin the blame on the Japanese. Then, the Quzhou autonomous alliance would send heavy troops to surround the Quzhou railway station. All the Japanese would be expelled from Quzhou immediately. Those who resisted would be killed without mercy!
At the same time, they would use Ta Kung Pao, Shen Bao, and other mainstream domestic media to gain an advantage in the international arena. The Japanese would try to murder the Chinese people for money!
Of course, the key to this plan was that there was a 300-man security team from the Sanjiu family at Quzhou railway station. They were all retired Japanese soldiers. Their weapons and equipment were all in accordance with the Japanese army's establishment plan!
"Marshal Chu! This plan is too dangerous. The Japanese are too powerful. If we're not careful, our Quzhou will become the target of public criticism!”
Fu Donglai was extremely shocked. The commander was really bold. He was actually plotting against the Japanese!
"Boss Fu, if the Quzhou railway continues to be controlled by the Japanese, it will be difficult for the Renaissance Army to make any breakthroughs. At the same time, I, Chu Tianyun, will establish the Southeast Chamber of Commerce in my own name. My main mission is to better sell the industrial products of Quzhou to the big cities and the European and American powers. I hope that Boss Fu can be the person in charge of the Southeast Chamber of Commerce!”
Chu Tianyun tapped his fingers on the table. He had been considering this matter for a long time. He had obtained Quzhou for a few months, but the Quzhou railway was not in his hands. Many drawbacks had appeared.
Now, Chu Tianyun had made up his mind to get rid of the Japanese security team at the Quzhou railway station. Otherwise, Chu Tianyun would not be able to sleep well on his bed.
The next day, the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the Renaissance Army received the orders from Chu Tianyun and was transferred to the vicinity of Quzhou Train Station.
The 1500-man infantry regiment began their military drills near the Quzhou train station. The military training chants in the morning revolved around the train station like an alarm clock. They were punctual every day. The Japanese security team at the Quzhou train station could do nothing about it.
