"What's wrong? Do you have any objections?"
Liu Chuan casually flipped open a document and asked as he read through it.
"Of course. You can torture them, but you shouldn't insult them.”
Xiang Menghe looked at Liu Chuan unwillingly.
"Bang ~"
Throwing down the documents in his hand, he kicked Xiang Menghe to the ground, grabbed his collar, and pressed him against the window. He said sternly,""What do you know?
Look, look outside. Tell me, what do you see?”
Xiang Menghe didn't say anything and stubbornly turned his head away.
"There are Japanese soldiers outside. They are everywhere. This is an occupied area. Do you think we are on vacation in the wild?”
After saying that, he threw Xiang Menghe on the ground, opened the door and looked outside before walking back and closing the door.""Are you trying to say that I shouldn't insult them and obliterate their courage?
Their bloodlust was not like a pig who would complain all day long. Instead, they should hide their bloodlust and hatred in the bottom of their hearts. Do you think the Japanese won't kill them?
Do you think I can completely suppress those Japanese soldiers? You don't know, you don't know. You only know how to stubbornly clamor here.
Their resistance wasn't to escape by climbing over the wall. They should have understood that they were in the occupied area and there were Japanese soldiers outside. Even if they wanted to escape, they should have a comprehensive plan.
If they did not hide their hatred in their hearts, it would only make them die faster.”
Liu Chuan undid two buttons, sat down and said in a deep voice,""Do you think we're absolutely safe now? Do you really think I've gained the Japanese's absolute trust?
Do you think the Japanese will believe whatever I say? Right now, I can command this regiment in Xu Prefecture, but do you think that they are only here to protect me? To stabilize the security of Xu Prefecture?
You're wrong, they're also monitoring me, and the 109th division that's about to arrive, do you really think they're just here to protect the military factory? You haven't thought about it carefully. You haven't considered why the Japanese are like this.
He didn't transfer the 110th division to Xuzhou, but he transferred them from the mainland. You don't understand why.
Now, the Japanese only believed me for the time being, but they still didn't let down their guard against me. What we need to do now is to build the General Factory. Those people who are the most arrogant must shut their stinky mouths and hide their hatred in their hearts. They must save their hatred for the future…"
Xiang Menghe sat on the ground and did not speak. He did not know what to say. Was Liu Chuan wrong?
No! Liu Chuan was right. He was using this method to calm these people down as much as possible and let them understand their situation. They were captives now, so they should act like captives. They shouldn't be courting death.
But was he wrong again? No! He felt that he was not wrong. Soldiers should not be humiliated like this, and soldiers should not lose their courage.
If a soldier lost his courage, would he still be a qualified soldier?
"Alright, don't be an eyesore here. Go do what you should do. By the way, don't contact them randomly during this period of time. If they want to build a military factory, the people from the Special Higher Police will definitely repeatedly investigate the situation in Xuzhou and its surroundings.
It's easy to be exposed if you contact me at this time. Go ~ Hurry up and leave. Don't be an eyesore here and annoy me ~"
Liu Chuan waved his hand. Xiang Menghe got up from the ground and limped out. He didn't say another word. He didn't know what to say.
"Eh, you're still immature ~ Battalion Commander, is this your temperament?”
Liu Chuan shook his head with a bitter smile. He didn't think that Xiang Menghe was actually less than 30 years old. As for him, although this body was only 22 years old, his mental age was already in his forties. How could he compare?
.........
Time always passed unknowingly. Next, Liu Chuan began to purge the internal personnel of the pseudo-government. He began to use the Japanese to eliminate those who had committed heinous crimes, were incompetent, and were greedy.
Liu Chuan knew that he couldn't kill them with a single strike. As he had said before, these officials were like a pack of wolves that had eaten their fill. If he killed them with a single strike, they would be replaced by hungry wolves.
These hungry wolves wanted to plunder the people's wealth to fill their stomachs, so they could not be killed with a stick now. Moreover, if they were killed with a stick, he would not be able to find so many officials to replace them.
Right now, he could only beat them and intimidate them so that they could settle down for a period of time. Not to mention how long this state could last, as long as it could last for about half a year, he could do many things.
After that, he would hand over the tax revenue to his hands. The tax revenue in North China was neither too much nor too little. In general, it was not much and was relatively low. In terms of agricultural taxes, other than Luxi, which was doing well this year, the other regions still had too much wasteland. At the same time, there were also a large number of refugees wandering around.
Many times, Liu Chuan did not want to care about it because it was too nerve-wracking. However, it was impossible to ignore it. At least, he could not get over it. These were all living people, and they were Chinese.
It was not a long-term tactic to extort rich people because there were too many refugees. There were so many that Liu Chuan did not know how many rich people he had to extort to settle the refugees.
Therefore, Liu Chuan could only try his best to settle down the refugees. As many as he could settle down, Liu Chuan could only apologize to those who were not settled down. Sometimes, he had no choice.
Time slowly came to September 20th. The weather was no longer hot. The hot summer had finally passed, and the military experts sent by the Japanese had already landed on the Jiaodong Peninsula. They were currently on the Jiaodong railway and were approaching the Jinpu railway line. Finally, they would head south on the Jinpu railway and arrive in Xuzhou.
At the same time, Liu Chuan also received news that the first batch of industrial equipment had been shipped from the Japanese. Because this matter was related to the Japanese Army, the military experts and even some technical personnel were contacted by the Japanese Army.
Liu Chuan only needed to wait for the personnel to be accepted, the equipment to be accepted, and finally the payment to be made. This was the latest good news. He knew very well that if he wanted to rely on his own ability to build an industrial base in China, it would take decades.
Right now, he could only trick the Japanese into helping him build the industrial base first. With the Japanese's help and a little more effort, he would be able to have a relatively basic military industry in a year. Not to mention the production of aircraft and cannons, but ordinary light and heavy machine guns and mortars would not be a problem.
Now, he was waiting for the day when the industrial base would go from zero to one.
