"We have to build a regiment and a regular army, but we can only slowly gather strength, bit by bit. We can't get fat all at once. We don't have the strength. "You need to perfect the military counselor's matter. At the same time, you have to find more fat sheep for us to attack. Otherwise, if we want to build a regiment of troops, it's like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. We can only see it but not touch it. I don't want news of what happened today to spread. As long as it's just gossip, even if it's my brother, I won't show mercy. This matter is related to the development of our village. No one can leak it!”
"The large amount of food stored in the Lin family's old residence can provide a good start for our plan this time. Although we aren't afraid of the people behind this batch of food, there's no need to provoke them and become the target of public criticism. I know exactly what those people are planning. The reason why they had gathered so much food was to get some money from the Northeastern Army. Previously, they had secretly done many grain deals with the Northeastern Army and had earned a lot of money. This time, the Northeast Army was going back to their old nest. Losing such a big customer was not a small loss for them.”
"According to my estimation, the food this time is just a pathfinder for them. In the future, there will be more food transported to the northeast. However, the northeast is currently in a chaotic place with various factions intertwined. If there is no suitable path, no matter how much food there is, it will be useless. There weren't just one or two beards there. They were all over the mountain. Commander Zhang might be the king of the northeast, but the bandits were only nominally obedient to him. In reality, they usually minded their own business. Marshal Zhang didn't have the strength to wipe out all the bandits in the northeast. Both sides could only maintain a balance.”
"The northeast is too chaotic. The land is vast and the population is sparse. In addition, the Japanese have been migrating there in recent years. There's no need for us to go there to join in the fun. No matter how things develop in the future, we shouldn't go to that place. The Japanese will definitely not be able to tolerate it for a few years before they make their move on the northeast. We are small arms and legs, so there's no need to get involved in this muddy water. "After a while, the people from the south will come over and will definitely recruit us bandits. Of course, we might not be sure that the other party will do this. However, no matter what they say, we will pretend to be snakes. We won't choose sides and will obediently stay in the village.”
"Some time ago, I hooked up with a manager of a foreign firm. I plan to get a batch of guns and ammunition from that person. Now that guns and ammunition are getting harder and harder to get, we should start stockpiling them before the situation is completely chaotic. Once the Japanese attack, I think it will be even more difficult to get those guns and ammunition. No matter what, Japan is one of the big powers. They are on the same side as those European and American powers. Those European and American powers will definitely not stand on our side. We can't trust any of these foreign devils.”
"I hooked up with this manager of the foreign firm. His name is Henry Robert, an arms dealer from the German Empire. This person is very greedy and has a large number of guns and ammunition in his hands. These guns and ammunition were basically retired from their army. After their defeat in the last world war, they restricted the size of their army, so a large number of guns and ammunition were secretly transported to the country by these people. I heard that this person was a major in the army before he became the manager of a foreign firm. After he couldn't survive in the country, he found a group of people to get a large number of guns and ammunition to come to the country. He didn't know how he got a position as a manager of a foreign firm. Anyway, we don't have to worry about these things.”
"Previously, I made an agreement with this person. I plan to buy a batch of guns and ammunition from him after a while. Right now, we only lack money. To us, money is the easiest thing to obtain. We can easily rob some passing merchants or some large families to get a sum of money. Right now, my biggest headache was how to buy a batch of cannons and cannonballs from this guy. After all, I had never come into contact with cannons before. I had never even seen what those things looked like. I was afraid that I would be tricked by them!”
"I plan to let Military Advisor do this. Military Advisor once served in the Northern New Army. Not only did he see cannons, but he also studied them for a period of time. It was very suitable for the military to handle this matter. After this matter was resolved, there was a bigger problem: whether the other party would sell it or not. I had never thought about cannons before, so I didn't ask around. These foreigners have very high standards and look down on us bandits. They can see through my bandit aura at a glance. The military counselor is different from us. After all, he has been in the army before. Even now, he still has the temperament of a soldier. It would be best if the military counselor could handle this matter.”
After hearing the Black Dragon's words, how could the military counselor not understand that the other party wanted him to do this? Since he had proposed the plan and now that the Chief had given him the way, he had to accept this matter. Otherwise, there was no way to continue implementing the plan.
"Chief, don't worry. I'll handle this matter. I'll definitely be able to buy a batch of cannons and shells from these foreign devils. However, you have to prepare more money. I have dealt with these foreigners before. As long as you have enough money, they are willing to betray their own country, even their own families.”
"Alright, let's settle things like this. Let's get this batch of food back first before we talk about the follow-up plan. It should be about time now. I think the brothers should have gathered. Let's go to the drill ground to take a look.”
The four of them left the meeting hall and walked towards the direction of the drill ground. On the way, they saw some brothers from the village heading in the same direction. After seeing the leaders, they greeted them and ran in the direction of the laughter. Fifteen minutes later, the four of them arrived at the drill ground. All the brothers in the stronghold had arrived. Black Dragon took the responsibility and came to the platform, ready to give a lecture before leaving.
"Brothers, I believe that some of you must have some complaints in your hearts if you wake us up in the middle of the night. After all, if you don't sleep at night, what are you doing? Even if I encounter such a thing, I will be unhappy. Most of the brothers present probably hadn't gotten the exact news yet. They probably only knew the reason why everyone was gathered today. It was understandable that the brothers had some complaints. However, I believe that after I tell this news to my brothers, not only will you not have any complaints, but you will also want to leave the mountain immediately!”
"Today, I want to tell this good news to my brothers. A large amount of food has arrived at the Lin family's old residence, but there are not enough guards. Our village is the first to receive this news. Brothers, there's such a big piece of fat meat waiting for us to eat. If we don't go, I reckon even the heavens won't forgive us! This is such a good opportunity. We must seize it and snatch all the food for us!”
"This time, all of our brothers from the village have come out to get those grains back. I reckon that the news of that batch of food will soon be received by the surrounding villages. Therefore, our operation this time can only be described in one word, and that is fast. We have to grab as much food as possible within two hours. We only have two hours to act. After two hours, our brothers must immediately retreat. The people in the surrounding villages are not fools. They will definitely not let us swallow this piece of fat meat. In that case, we might as well eat the meat and leave some soup for them. This way, not only can we obtain the greatest benefits, but we can also protect ourselves.”
"Brothers, when we reach the Lin Family Manor, don't worry about those hardships. Let's go straight to the Lin Family Mansion. Our goal this time is only food. If there was a chance, he could snatch some money. If there was no chance, then forget it. The main focus was to snatch the food. As long as those people did not resist, they were allowed to escape. Other than a portion of people who stayed behind to guard, the others all went to help carry the food.”
"Black Tiger, go to the Lin Family Village first and seal the entire village. In addition, organize the young men of the Lin Family Village to help us transport the food. Black Panther, when the time comes, you will be in charge of guarding the perimeter. If you find anyone suspicious, kill them immediately without any hesitation. No matter who the other party is, don't show mercy to me! Today's operation cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. If anyone dares to disobey, they will be executed on the spot!”
The Black Dragon's words made the hearts of the people below tremble. Those who had originally planned to disobey the order and snatch some money all put away their little thoughts. After all, their lives were more important than money. Moreover, they were going to rob food this time. As long as they had food, they would not have to go hungry in the future. They could tell which was more important.
"After this operation is successful, we brothers will be rewarded according to our merits when we return to the village. In the future, we brothers will have endless food to eat. We brothers can continue to build. After this, we will all marry a wife and give birth to a few children. In the future, our village's days will only get better and better. Since you are willing to follow me, Black Dragon, I will let you eat and wear warm clothes in the future. However, you must obey my orders. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our brotherhood!”
