A month later.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of horse hooves and gunshots could be heard.
In the forest, the horse bandits fell to the ground one after another.
"D * mn, who are those people?!”
The leader of the horse bandits shouted at the top of his lungs.
"I don't know. We were just barging in when a group of people suddenly appeared and stabbed us brothers!”
A lackey beside him replied.
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the lackey's head was pierced through and he lay straight on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the horse bandit leader was even more frightened.
"Damn it, brothers, fight them…"
Before he could finish speaking, his vision turned black.
His entire head was pierced through.
The remaining bandits were all killed.
The surroundings gradually became quiet, and only the sound of horses running around could be heard.
……
In the next moment.
People in white camouflage uniforms appeared around them.
It was the special forces led by Zhao Xuechao.
During this period of time.
The special forces had completed their training.
In order to test the results.
Zhao Xuechao led the group to the area around Feng City to eliminate the bandits.
In the early years of the Republic of China, banditry was rampant.
Especially since Old Zhang, the leader of the horse bandits, had become a warlord.
This made many people who couldn't survive have the idea of becoming bandits.
Of course.
These bandits were completely inhumane, burning, killing, and looting.
He didn't feel any psychological burden when he killed.
Just as they were about to seize the spoils of war.
A horse suddenly rushed over from afar.
Judging from his clothes, he was Feng Jun.
"Young Marshal, the marshal sent a telegram asking you to return to Feng City as soon as possible. He said that the Japanese are preparing to send people to negotiate.”
Japanese?
Just as Zhao Xuechao was deep in thought.
The system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Ding! The Japanese wanted Feng Jun to contact the Russians for negotiations! Triggered selection mission!"
"Ding! Option 1: Agree to the negotiations between the Japanese and the Russians! [Reward: Gatling Gun Design]”
"Ding! [Option 2: Pretend to be a Russian and extort a sum of money from the Japanese!] [Reward: Type 96 150mm Mortar Design!]”
He listened to the choices given by the system.
Zhao Xuechao couldn't help but laugh.
System, are you trying to get me to cause trouble?
However, to deal with the Japanese…this was far from enough!
……
"Everyone, pack your equipment and return to Feng City!”
With Zhao Xuechao's order, everyone rode back to Feng City.
A month passed.
Feng City had changed a lot since last time.
After Wang Yongjiang's governance, Feng City's public security had taken on a new look.
There were fewer cases of corruption and bribery.
Wang Yongjiang investigated those who bought official positions through connections.
Although Wang Yongjiang was a scholar, his methods were really ruthless.
He didn't directly contact the security department to arrest those corrupt people.
Instead, they gathered evidence.
When the evidence was gathered to a certain extent, they would present it to the marshal one by one.
Everyone's business of buying and selling official positions and protecting each other was displayed in front of Old Zhang one by one.
Old Zhang was so angry that smoke was coming out of his nostrils when he saw his subordinates being so rampant.
They immediately arrested these people. Those who should be shot were shot, and those who should be locked up were locked up.
For this reason.
Wang Yongjiang had also offended many of Old Zhang's brothers.
However, Wang Yongjiang was not afraid at all.
At the same time, they were re-surveying the land in Feng City.
Originally, due to the feudal system, many of Feng City's land had flags.
The flag land was the land of some nobles.
Logically speaking, after the establishment of the Republic of China and the fall of feudalism, these aristocratic lands should belong to the people.
However, some officials and gentry combined and kept these lands under their control.
Of course, Wang Yongjiang was not used to it.
He directly made drastic changes.
Originally, Feng City had more than 500,000 mu of land. After Wang Yongjiang cleared the land, the land had increased to nearly two million mu.
It had increased by nearly four times!
With land, the people were naturally full of energy.
In addition, the second generation of moonlight corn seeds had already been passed down to the people.
When these seeds were planted in the spring of next year, it was certain that Feng City would not have to worry about food in the future.
For this reason.
Commander Zhang directly put Wang Yongjiang in an important position.
Not only did he control the finances, but he also controlled the security department of Fengtian.
Pay attention to both finance and public security.
At this point, everything in Fengtian was going well.
As for the Munitions Factory.
After half a month of research, the Krupp Cannon was gradually showing results.
It was currently in the test phase.
As for the other weapons, the arsenal was operating at all times.
In the past, the Feng army could not get a rifle, but now, not only could they get one for each person, but they also had enough bullets.
Machine guns and heavy machine guns were the wealthiest of all the warlords.
The only drawback was that it lacked many cannons.
This was also why Zhao Xuechao was determined to get the mortar from the system mission.
The Feng army was really short of cannons now.
As for heavy weapons such as tanks, the Munitions Factory did not have the ability to manufacture them yet.
However, it was still early. There was still a lot of time.
The other superpowers weren't that far ahead either.
……
Arriving at the marshal's manor.
Zhao Xuechao arranged for his entourage to leave and entered the Marshal's Mansion alone.
A month had passed.
Commander Zhang was in high spirits.
"Haha, Xuechao really has to thank you for introducing me to Wang Yongjiang!”
"That guy is really a genius!”
As soon as they arrived at the marshal's mansion, Marshal Zhang hugged Zhao Xuechao and praised Wang Yongjiang.
"Old Zhang, if you trust him, I think we can always use him in the future.”
Zhao Xuechao nodded.
He was still more assured about Wang Yongjiang.
Not to mention his loyalty points.
In history, Wang Yongjiang had always been conscientious in serving the army.
He had even tried to dissuade the marshal when he led his troops into the pass.
He was a loyal figure.
"Alright, no problem. Not only will I put him in an important position, but I will also reward him.”
Old Zhang said with a smile.
Then, the topic changed.
"Xuechao, I called you back this time because of something important.”
"The Japanese called us yesterday, hoping that we could contact the Russians and let them negotiate with them.”
Zhao Xuechao already knew about this.
Thus, he said calmly.
"Yes, I can roughly guess that."
Old Zhang raised his eyebrows and said,"Then do you have any ideas? After all, we don't have the support of the Russians.”
Zhao Xuechao smiled.
"Without the Russians 'support, can't we pretend to be Russians?”
Hmm?
Old Zhang's eyes widened.
