1928: The Rise of Giants

The Guard is actually a rather heavy topic.

At the beginning, Ye Luo recruited Wu Shikui and others from Taihu. Because their identities and backgrounds were too mixed, they were mixed together with the gangsters, bandits, water bandits and other outsiders with certain combat capabilities who were later recruited to form the earliest factory. Guard.

Heng San, a group of people whom Ye Luo trusted more, formed the park guard team with the backbone of Ye's security and powerful former soldiers.

These two teams, together with the Yip's Motorcycle Guard Group formerly known as the Ching Wu Sports Association, are known as the Yip's Third Brigade, and are responsible for the security and auditing issues of all enterprises under the name of Yip's investment.

But as time goes by, life gets better and better, and the number of people increases. Corruption and cliques gradually appear in the guard, especially since many of them already have their own factions and are dissatisfied with each other. After the increase, several private fights broke out.

The general person in charge of this area is Ye Luo's eldest brother Ye Hao. He has a rough background and a ruthless acting style. It is related to the reputation and safety of the Ye family. He does not hesitate to send his direct descendants to eradicate a large number of troublemakers, and the matter is settled. .

This also affected some of the key personnel of Heng San and Wu Shikui.

Among the several dead friends who came from Taihu Lake with Wu Shikui, several were sunk to the bottom of the Huangpu River.

Heng San has been with Ye Luo for a long time, and he knows the bottom line of the second young master very well. He will not do anything to seek death, and strictly restrains his subordinates not to do it, but there are always people who will take risks for the sake of profit.

If any of his brothers became this kind of person, he would not mind killing his relatives out of justice.

Wu Shikui is different.

Several of those people had a very close friendship with him. They were brothers who had been through life and death together on the battlefield, and yet they were drowned like this. He couldn't help but feel angry and had been sulking with Ye Hao.

As the plate gets bigger, these messy trivial matters are inevitable. Ye Luo has always understood that he cannot do everything by himself. In such situations, he always delegates power to his trusted associates.

Ye Hao is his eldest brother. Since he is in charge of this, Ye Luo will leave it alone.

But it seems that this matter is getting more and more serious.

"I understand. Call Wu Shikui and his eldest brother to Paramount tonight. I'll prepare a banquet for them." Ye Luo lit up a cigarette and ended the conversation.

Heng San responded, unable to figure out Ye Luo's thoughts at all, so he just did as he was told.

A few people got out of the car. Hengsan took some members of the park guard and led Ye Luo to visit various factories, dormitories and office buildings in a familiar manner. Many new employees secretly looked at this handsome young man. After being reminded, I realized that this was their boss, the second young master Ye Luo.

Nothing could be found in this leader's inspection-style visit. Ye Luo was very familiar with this, so after asking a few casual questions, he went to the office building with Hengsan and the others, and looked for an opportunity to make an unannounced visit later.

As 1931 and 1932 approached, he allowed no room for error.

Zhang Hanqing's adjutant Hu Ruoyu had been standing outside the door of the general manager's office. When he saw Ye Luo and others approaching, he immediately ran over and said to Ye Luo: "Second Young Master, the commander is inside and wants to talk to you alone to talk about old times."

"Okay." Ye Luo nodded and pushed the door open alone.

Zhang Hanqing stood alone by the window next to his desk with a melancholy expression. When he saw Ye Luo walking in, he smiled awkwardly and hesitated to speak.

After Hu Ruoyu helped quietly close the door, Zhang Hanqing said with a face full of shame: "Aluo, I regret not listening to your advice. I lost my teacher and humiliated the country, and I became a sinner of the nation!"

"Brother Six, you don't have to blame yourself so much. Fortunately, there is still room for maneuver." Ye Luo sighed and patted his good friend on the shoulder. What else could he say now?
At first, Zhang Hanqing insisted on using force to solve the problem of the China Eastern Railway. He had warned him tactfully, but Zhang Hanqing did not listen at all and was full of confidence.

Zhang Hanqing is a very conceited person. He has identified one thing and thinks that if it can be achieved, no one can stop him.

Now that he was beaten to a pulp and forced to sign an agreement with the Soviet Union, Ye Luo couldn't scold him or ridicule him. "Actually, apart from the fact that the war cost money and the army suffered some casualties, the incident on the Middle Road did not have too bad an impact. It's a good thing that you stopped in time, Brother Six. It's not too late to make up for it before it's too late." Ye Luo comforted him.

The Soviet side behaved very magnanimously this time and did not make any unreasonable demands. It only hoped that everything would return to what it was before the incident broke out, and did not even ask for any compensation.

Zhang Hanqing was very confused about this at first, but Ye Luo made it clear to him on the phone yesterday.

The Soviet Union is at a critical moment in the "First Five-Year Plan", and the capitalist powers are also eyeing them, so they do not want to break with China for the time being.

As for border islands such as Heixiazi Island, as long as the Jinling National Government sends people to Moscow to have a good exchange and show a sincere attitude to restore diplomatic relations, they are likely to return them without compensation.

Unfortunately, in order to please the British and American powers and to hold back Zhang Hanqing, the Jinling National Government never thought of restoring diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. It wished that the Soviet Union and Zhang Hanqing would both lose in a fight and let the principal take advantage of himself.

"I didn't expect that, principal," Zhang Hanqing said angrily.

At the beginning, the news was also given by Jinling, who said that the Soviet side was a paper tiger. Later, it was also Jinling who supported him in the war and said that they would allocate funds to mobilize the army, but they didn't even give a damn in the end.

He had to bear it all by himself.

"That's how he is. It's not the first day you've met him." Ye Luo prefers Zhang Hanqing in his heart. The two have a "carrying a gun" friendship together, so he made it clear in a vague way.

"Yes. But in the current situation, Mr. Wang and Yan Xishan invited me to work together in Peking to plan a joint anti-Chiang affair. What do you think?"

Zhang Hanqing dropped a bombshell as he spoke.

What do I think?
Of course I sat and watched!

Ye Luo was sweating profusely and complained in his mind. Instead of answering directly, he asked him: "What do you think?"

"From a personal standpoint, I hate the principal now. He actually didn't send anyone to Moscow for negotiations, and kept delaying it, hoping to bring me down with the Middle East Road incident! But from a national level, the Jinling National Government now It is orthodox, the victor of the two Northern Expeditions, and has just defeated Feng Yuxiang and the Guangxi warlords, and is at the peak of his power. He is so powerful and has great control. If we start a war like this, we will be back to the Beiyang period."

Zhang Hanqing answered truthfully.

He didn't really mind going back to the time when warlords were fighting each other.

But going back to that step would do him and the North no good at all!
Zhang Hanqing had a small thought in his heart. He hoped that Yan Laoxi and the others could consume the principal's strength. It would be better for the south to have a melee and the north to be stable.

"Sixth brother, you actually have some confidence in your heart." Ye Luo sighed. Judging from Zhang Hanqing's reaction, the direction of history has not gone away.

He wanted to be a faggot, falling on both sides when the wind blows, and wait until both the principal and Yan Xishan were harmed, then jump out to take advantage and enter the border to assist the principal.

Moreover, he has been frightened by Su Fang and has lost his original youthful spirit.

"A Luo." Zhang Hanqing realized that his thoughts had been read, and he was so ashamed that he didn't know what to say.

"I only have one suggestion." Ye Luo looked at him and whispered, "Don't enter the border."

This suggestion was as good as unspoken. The two of them knew that this was Ye Luo's consistent view.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, tell me about your experience in the United States." Zhang Hanqing changed the topic and said, "You want to engage in heavy industry, do you have any plans?" (End of Chapter)
