Vigorous and spirited, the whistling sounds of military training resounded throughout the hinterland of Qilu, the border between Shandong and Jiangsu. Gu Weiming's Iron-Blooded Army had truly set off a spark of fire. Its huge influence seemed to want to slap Han Fuqu and Nanjing's faces clean one slap after another!
They bought industrial machinery from the Omi countries at a low price and also from Lianyungang Port. They continued to take root and settle down along the provincial border. Tractor factories, soap factories, truck factories, rubber factories, thermal power plants... all kinds of factories began to crazily grow like bamboo shoots after the rain in this area!!
The construction of the First Steel Plant was also started near the Wang Fortress. The annual production would be close to 100,000 tons, which would completely satisfy Gu Weiming's industrial plan. Without steel, how could he compete with the foreign powers?!
The five-year compulsory education system was also strongly promoted by Gu Weiming and officially entered the sights of the local people. The government also provided funds and did their best to solve the problem of children from poor families attending school. There were still too many poor people. Even though Gu Weiming had built hundreds of factories, there were still many people who were still waiting for jobs at home!
Zaozhuang, Iron Blood Army headquarters!
Gu Weiming stared at the construction map of Lianyungang. The Iron Blood Army was already approaching, waiting for an opportunity to take down this sea outlet in one fell swoop. After the Japanese took over Northeast China, they were also frantically absorbing and transporting resources to the country or directly obtaining materials from the local area. In the northeast, they expanded the original military factories and produced countless killing weapons, killing the Northeast Army that had originally stayed outside the pass to resist the Japanese!!
"Traveler, the current leader of Lianyungang's local security regiment, Xie Dayong, has been executed. The 1,000 people in the security regiment have also been replaced by our brothers from the Iron Blood Army. In addition to our troops stationed in Lianyungang, taking over Lianyungang is just a change of flag!!”
Chen Zhiwen was holding a telegram that had just been sent from Lianyungang. Lianyungang seemed to be born with no sense of existence. The European and American powers and the national government did not seem to pay attention to this bridgehead in Asia…
That was true. There were no railroads, few people, no convenient transportation, and no large cities around Lianyungang. Lianyungang had not developed even in the later generations. However, this also gave Gu Weiming a chance. Since no one cared about it, he let the Iron Blood Army manage this port city. Gu Weiming was ambitious and wanted to build Lianyungang into a fortress level port city like Vasilisk!!
"Tomorrow then. The plan to attack Lianyungang will be set for tomorrow. Let the 3rd Infantry Brigade take on the task of attacking. This battle will be a quick one. If necessary, purge the opposition forces in the city!!”
"Traveler, what should we do with Chief Huang and the others?”
Chen Zhiwen said cautiously. The reason why they could develop so quickly in Lianyungang was because the Iron Blood Army had sent a lot of money to the local city government, which stabilized the Lianyungang city government. However, the times were different now. Since the Iron Blood Army had decided to shed all pretense of cordiality and take the initiative to attack, I'm afraid...
"Kill!"
Gu Weiming's voice was cold. How could the rise of the regime not come without sacrifices? Furthermore, those who were enemies must be exterminated, completely wiped out from the world!
Chen Zhiwen straightened his back, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. It seemed like the upper echelons of Lianyungang were going to be purged…Since there was going to be a change of dynasty, Gu Weiming would naturally do it thoroughly!!
"Traveler, I'll make the arrangements!”
Phew…
Phew…
It was already the end of September. Lianyungang was close to the sea. The smell of the sea breeze was like a stormy sea, rolling over. The urban area was not considered big. The city center could be considered as a pole. Compared to big cities like Shanghai and Tianjin, it was a world of difference.
Huang Zhonglei lived in the eastern part of Lianyungang City. He had been in the Lianyungang government for a long time. However, Lianyungang City was not as poor as other areas. He could not earn much money. If it were not for a fool who kept giving him money, he would not have been so comfortable. What was the use of that broken wharf?
Huang Zhonglei had a big belly. His face was greasy. He kept counting the gold bars in front of him. They were shiny, heavy, and shining. Huang Zhonglei's eyes were wide open as if he was looking at his own son!
Gold was still the best. During the war, nothing was more valuable than gold. As long as he had gold, he would be a rich man no matter where he went…If he really couldn't, he could just buy a ticket to America and become a leisurely farmer. Wouldn't that be quite satisfying?
Outside the door, the old butler of the Huang Residence was in a hurry. His face was anxious as if something big had happened. He quickly ran towards Huang Zhonglei's bedroom.
"Master, Master!"
Hearing the butler's shout, Huang Zhonglei walked out and said with a displeased expression!
"What's the matter? Why are you shouting?"
The old butler patted his chest and stuttered.
" Master, it's bad. Leader Xie…Leader Xie was killed…"
" What?!"
Huang Zhonglei's expression changed drastically. The sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, making his body tremble. Xie Da Yong's security team was his life-saving talisman. For so many years, the two of them had been in cahoots, one in the government and the other in the military. Now that Xie Da Yong was dead, anyone could take his life in the future…
" It happened this morning. It was said that Commander Xie slipped and died after getting drunk…"
Huang Zhonglei waved his hand impatiently, signaling the butler to leave. Honestly speaking, Huang Zhonglei would never believe that such a thing would happen. He slipped and died after being drunk…
"Could it be!"
Huang Zhonglei grabbed his hair, feeling more and more terrified. He vaguely felt that something was wrong. Damn it, those people were going to kill them!!
Huang Zhonglei's face was twisted. His hideous face was like a monster. He was scared. His brain was spinning rapidly as he thought about how to escape from here. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became…
"No, I can't die. It wasn't easy for me to make it through, but if I die just like that, I won't be able to spend so many gold bars.!”
