Rongshi left the Rong Family Hospital and rushed back to his home at 12th Deshun Road to change his clothes. Then, he brought his two brothers and went straight to the administrative office of Changlulin.
After all, it was a serious matter, so it was necessary to have formal makeup and appearance.
As soon as Rongshi entered the courtyard of the Political Work Department, he saw the countless soldiers coming in and out to pack up and move things. His heart sank. Looking at the situation, Jiang Weihua was probably right.
Many of Chang Changlin's soldiers had been taught a lesson by Rongshi during their daily misdeeds. Therefore, most of them knew of Rongshi's reputation and recognized him. Therefore, when Rongshi entered Chang Changlin's office, even if countless soldiers saw him, no one tactfully went forward to stop him.
When he entered the office, Rongshi swept his eyes around and saw everything in the office. The telephone line had been dismantled, the office supplies were neatly packed, and almost everything that could be used had been packed.
Rongshi's expression remained unchanged, but he had already made a conclusion in his heart.
"Yo, Young Master Rong is here. Why didn't you say hello?”
Just as Rongshi was looking around the office, a muscular man in his forties or fifties walked out of the room. He was dressed in a military uniform and had smooth hair. When he saw Rongshi standing outside, his eyes lit up. He came up and held Rongshi's hand as he greeted him warmly.
Looking at his sanctimonious appearance and the saber hidden behind his smile, who else could it be but Chang Changlin!
"Brother Lulin, are you moving?" Rongshi asked calmly with a faint smile.
"Ai, isn't this going to war? I'll send my family to the pass.”Chang Changlin said helplessly.
"Oh." Rongshi nodded in understanding, but he sneered in his heart."This old fox is indeed dishonest. Why would he need to dismantle the telephone lines and pack up his office supplies when he's sending his family to the pass?”
Following Chang Lulin's gesture, he sat down on the sofa.
Although his heart was heavy, Rongshi still held onto a sliver of hope and wanted to test it out.
After seeing Chang Lulin sit down, Rongshi said with a heavy heart,""Brother Lulin, I just came back from He Ling, and He Ling has come true!”
Chang Lulin's eyes flashed slightly as he nodded and said,""I know. Not only He Ling, but Chaoyang, Lingyuan, and Pingquan have also fallen.”
"So fast?" Chang Lulin's words shocked Rongshi." So, the next step is Chengde?"”
Before this, he hadn't heard any news. He had thought that something was wrong with He Ling, but he hadn't expected the Japanese to have already taken over one-fifth of Rehe Province.
The speed was so fast that Rongshi could not believe it. Since he did not have the time to hear the news, it meant that the four cities had most likely been occupied within a day.
There were at least 1,000 troops stationed in each county of Rehe. If the Japanese wanted to take down four cities in a day, they might not even have enough troops to do so.
However, the final result was that Rongshi did not receive any news at all. Thus, there were only two possibilities. The first was like He Ling, where the enemy found an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and quickly took down the city by surprise. However, the probability of this happening in four cities at the same time was so small that it was negligible.
If that was the case, then there was only one last possibility…a coward had emerged from the ranks of the generals. The army did not put up any resistance at all and abandoned their parents 'blind date, abandoning the city and fleeing.
The army of the entire Rehe Province was under the command of Chang Lulin. Now that Chang Lulin was talking about the loss of the four cities with such a calm expression, the root cause of the loss of the four cities was obvious.
"Zhang Xueliang asked me to defend Chengde, but he didn't give me money. Without money, I can't defend Chengde.”Chang Changlin's gaze shifted slightly, and he paused for a moment before reminding her kindly,""I'll give you a tip. I can't hold on for more than a few days.”
Rongshi laughed coldly in his heart." All you talk about is money. The Japanese are already right in front of you. Even if we give you money now, do you think you can immediately make guns and ammunition? You're really ambitious. It's obvious!"”
Since the devils wanted to attack Chengde, they would definitely block all the traffic routes in Chengde first. If the Evergreen Forest really planned to defend Chengde, in such a short period of time, even if they had money on hand, they would not be able to convert it into the combat effectiveness of the army.
It would be a joke to say that money was the only way to defend the city at this time. Basically, Rongshi did not need to probe or guess what Chang Changlin was thinking after hearing this.
However, after witnessing Chang Lulin's shamelessness, a thought suddenly rose in Rongshi's mind. He sat up straight and said to Chang Lulin sincerely,"How about this, as long as Brother Lulin can think of a way to defend Chengde, you can tell me how much money you need.
Even if I, Rongshi, donate all my assets, I will help you protect Chengde!”
Rongshi's words sounded nice, but he had already come to a conclusion in his heart. He would definitely not give a single cent to Chang Evergreen Forest. However, since Chang Evergreen Forest was already so shameless, Rongshi did not mind putting another piece of sh * t on Chang Evergreen Forest.
Money was a good thing no matter where it was.
Rongshi was a person with a strong sense of nationality!
According to the current situation, the outcome of Chengde's fall was probably irreversible. After the devils entered the city, no one knew what the fate of the people in the city would be.
Rather than letting the Japanese benefit from this wealth, it was better to let Chang Lulin take the blame. He took this opportunity to gather the countless resources in the hands of the big merchants in the city and make appropriate arrangements.
At that time, whether it was sent to Zhang He's guerrillas or to other anti-Japanese troops in Rehe Province, as long as it was used to fight the Japanese, it would be a real use of good steel!
"Eldest Young Master Rong is extremely wealthy, but it's a drop in the bucket!”
Chang Lulin was happy to hear this, but he knew Rongshi's influence in Chengde and his determination to save the country and resist the Japanese. He wanted to use Rongshi's hands to get more, so he said with a difficult attitude.
Rongshi was waiting for Chang Lulin to say this. If Chang Lulin didn't say this, he really wouldn't be able to find a suitable reason to make things difficult for the wealthy merchants in the city and then take the opportunity to gather the resources in their hands.
"I'll think of a way!" Rongshi promised solemnly, but he was sneering in his heart.
Since Chang Lulin had made up his mind to escape, he had to do it before the Japanese attacked Chengde. According to the progress of the Japanese, it would take at most one or two days.
Therefore, no matter how many resources he could raise with Chang Lulin's name, he only needed to delay it a little. When Chang Lulin couldn't wait to run away, if anyone asked, he would just insist that he had already given the money to Chang Lulin.
Yellow mud falling into his pants, if it wasn't sh * t, then it was sh * t. Anyway, Chang Lulin would definitely take the blame for this!
