It was already autumn.
Cai Hu changed into casual clothes and rode a strong horse. After three days of galloping day and night, he finally arrived in Chongqing.
Chongqing, the capital of the war, the future super city, a mountain city.
Along the way from the suburbs, Cai Hu saw starving people everywhere. Logically speaking, there was the Yangtze River and a large amount of farmland here. It should be easy for the common people to live.
However, once they were interrogated, the warlords, big and small, were constantly fighting. The landowners and gentry even took the opportunity to annex the farmland of the common people, greatly increasing the taxes needed to rent farmland.
The people below were like this, not to mention those squires and county heads above, who wantonly squandered the people's wealth.
This was not all. In addition, the war continued, and there were people displaced by the war everywhere. These warlords also wantonly ravaged the people and women, making this area like a living hell.
After understanding the sufferings of the people, Cai Hu was extremely angry. He also understood his own system. In the system, there were indicators such as economic support, military strength, reputation points, and so on. When mixed together, it was the comprehensive strength value.
The comprehensive strength value was the hard currency of Cai Hu's system. It could be exchanged for civilian, industrial, and military items in the system store.
"It seems that it's not just the ocean. I have to manage a piece of territory well!”
After Cai Hu understood everything, he looked forward to the future even more.
The Urban area of Chongqing was controlled by three security brigades. These three security brigades were said to be at the brigade level, but the largest number of people was only 2000.
Originally, Sichuan was under the control of the Northern Army, and they had accepted the political responsibility of the Northern Army. However, now that the Northern Army had left, Cai E of the Dian Army was their immediate superior. Of course, they had not yet been appointed by the Military Governor's Office.
After Cai Hu entered Chongqing, he went to the Telegram Office to send a telegram to the Military Governor's Office to confirm that he had arrived in Chongqing safely.
After that, the Military Governor's Office sent a telegram to the warlords of Chongqing, saying that they had sent a senior commissioner to discuss the matter of reappointing them.
This made the warlords happy. What could be better than being an official for them?
…
Chongqing City government, conference hall.
The two rows of officers sat on both sides, waiting for the arrival of the high-level special agent.
Among them, Ma Biao, the commander of the 1st Security Brigade, controlled the northern district of Chongqing. He was the most powerful with 2000 people and was also the chief of Chongqing.
Li Hong, the commander of the 2nd Security Brigade, controlled the east area of Chongqing. He had 1500 troops. Due to their slightly weaker equipment, he joined forces with Zhou He, the commander of the 3rd Security Brigade, to fight against Ma Biao.
Zhou He's troops had incorporated a portion of the Northern Army. Although there were only 1000 of them, they were not to be underestimated. They also had the Chongqing Police Department, which occupied the southern and western regions.
After that, there were more than a dozen security regiments and security brigades in the counties below Chongqing. Although these regiments seemed to belong to the three factions above, they were very loose. In fact, they were independent and often went about their own business.
At this moment, Ma Biao, Li Hong, and Zhou He all had their own thoughts. They were not kind people. They wanted to see what kind of special agent it was this time. If it was easy to manipulate, they would not mind squeezing this special agent and digging out a piece of meat from his mouth.
"The special agent has arrived!"
A dark-skinned policeman's voice rang out as Cai Hu walked into the conference hall in high spirits.
In the meeting hall, these people were about to stand up and stand at attention, but when they saw Cai Hu, they almost burst out laughing.
He had thought that the person who came would be an experienced expert in the officialdom, but he did not expect that the person who came would be a kid who was still wet behind the ears.
Cai Hu's appearance was too young. He looked like he was only in his twenties. How could he suppress these local tyrants at such an age?
One had to know that Ma Biao and the other two had all started out as local ruffians and hooligans. They were all over forty years old, and at this moment, they really looked down on Cai Hu.
"Doll, is there no one else in the Military Governor's Office?”
Ma Biao was the first to speak. As the number one player in Chongqing, he had the most say.
Cai Hu glanced at Ma Biao. Before he came, Cai Hu had learned about this guy. He was a horse bandit and had joined the Qing army in his early years. Later on, he became a deserter and became a bandit. Later on, he joined the Japanese and became a pawn of the Japanese in Chongqing.
He sold a lot of herbs and food in Chongqing to the Japanese in exchange for their support. He even sold tobacco (or even drugs).
"How can there be no one in the Military Governor's Office? The Military Governor's Office is full of talents. This special agent has been ordered by the Military Governor to bring two or three military advisors here to discuss the military and political issues in Chongqing with everyone!”
After Cai Hu said that, he clapped his hands and three people came in. One of them was dressed as an East Asian while the other two were dressed as Westerners.
Cai Hu had taken them in when he came from the Military Governor's Office. They were all martial arts experts and had first-class spear techniques.
"And this is?"
Ma Biao saw the beard under the nose of this Asian man and had a vague guess. His expression became friendly and respectful.
"Um, this is Mr. Saburo Okada. He is a major in Japan's Kwantung Army and is now a military adviser to Japan in the southwest!”
Cai Hu noticed Ma Biao's expression and narrowed his eyes.
"Mr. Okada, nice to meet you, my good friend from the Empire!”
Ma Biao stood up and extended a friendly hand to " Okada Saburo " with a smile on his face. He even took out a pack of his best cigarettes for " Okada."
This " Okada " wasn't Japanese, but a native of Sichuan who spoke Japanese very well. This native of Sichuan had now sided with Cai Hu and followed Cai Hu's lead.
"You are very rude. I am now Mr. Cai Hu's subordinate military consultant. How can you treat my superior like this?”
Okada said unhappily.
Okada's angry gaze scared Ma Biao so much that he almost sat on the ground. At this moment, Ma Biao was trembling all over.
The Japanese were not to be trifled with. If they angered him, they would not give him military supplies or send spies to kill him easily.
In particular, the other party's status was extraordinary. He was also a famous major of the Kwantung Army. He was several levels higher than the Japanese who contacted him.
Ma Biao immediately cupped his hands at Cai Hu." Special agent, I failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me!”
Ma Biao took the guard's teacup and personally served Cai Hu tea.
Li Hong and Zhou He wanted to see Cai Hu make a fool of himself, but when they saw Cai Hu subdue Ma Biao in a few moves, they felt uneasy.
To be able to make a Japanese major subordinate, the other party must have a very high status. Moreover, to be able to control this Japanese so submissively, the other party's methods and wisdom must be impressive.
At that moment, Li Hong and Zhou He were very respectful of Cai Hu. Such a special agent had Western and Japanese military advisors under him. In the future, if they wanted to buy weapons and get promoted, they would have to rely on this young man.
After all, the reason why Ma Biao became the number one force in Chongqing was because of the support of the Japanese weapons. They had no way out, so they could only buy some domestic junk and high-priced goods. This was not going to last long.
