The next day, March 6th, 1917, at the gate of the Quzhou Coalition Government, Chu Tianyun, the highest official of the coalition government and also the county head of the Quzhou Coalition Government, 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 unknown Quzhou County had actually wiped out a security team made up of retired Japanese soldiers in a military conflict!
The Japanese and China were separated by a strip of water. Ever since the Meiji Restoration, this weak island country had been challenging China's authority in Asia at a terrifying speed.
In the 1894 - 1895 naval battle, the Northern Navy, which was known as the number one in Asia, was defeated by the Japanese Navy. From then on, this island country 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. Currently, 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 Japanese army rifle. I have to admit that the combat quality of these 300 security team members is extremely high. Otherwise, our Renaissance Army would not have suffered so many casualties!”
"I can tell you clearly that there will be a war between China and Japan in the future, and it will be a battle of fate that will shake the foundation of the country.!!”
"The Renaissance Army will continue to work hard to improve the quality of our soldiers and make up for the huge gap between us and the world's powers. At the same time, as the highest leader of the Quzhou autonomous alliance, I have ordered that from today onwards, the Quzhou railway station will be free from the control of the Japanese, the Mitsui Conglomerate, and will be managed by the Quzhou autonomous alliance. If the central government exercises its management rights, I, Chu Tianyun, will support it with both hands!!”
"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.
After the press conference ended, Johnny Ford stayed in Chu Tianyun's office. During the press conference, Johnny Ford expressed his stance on the Japanese's assassination. As a citizen of the M Nation, he was actually assassinated by the Japanese. This made the young master of the Ford family feel ashamed.
"Chu, I will definitely take revenge. I will definitely ask the American ambassador to China to enforce diplomatic sanctions against the Japanese. As for the operation rights of the Quzhou railway, you must be more trustworthy than the Japanese!!!”
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 the United States. I hope Young Master Johnny can think of a way!”
Chu Tianyun did this because Quzhou needed industrial machine tools, and he wanted Johnny to benefit from it. Otherwise, why would Johnny trust Chu Tianyun so much?
"Chu, you're really my lucky star. If it weren't for the fact that China's industrial foundation is too weak, I think I would have convinced my father to put the car production in China!”
"Then let's hope that with a weak industrial base, I can slowly develop. Didn't the great M Nation also develop slowly?”
"Chu, your personality is a bit like the king of the northeast. You are tactful and like to do things yourself. As your good friend, I promise you that if you can take down Zhejiang, the M Nation 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 the M Nation, this speed would be much faster.
As for the railway explosion incident in Quzhou, it was about to spread like wildfire at a terrifying speed. It was like a stone that had 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 big news and seized the right to operate the Quzhou railway from the Japanese.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:05320181:56PM
