The Republic of Heroes

Li Youting also held a disapproving attitude towards this kind of public trial. He believed that Sun Baiguang was the leader of a county militia and a local gentry after all. It should be in a formal court, with lawyers defending and judges adjudicating. It is reasonable to have a public trial like this now. It is still a trial. It is clearly a public judgment meeting.

But he was surprised to find that both the local gentry and the low-level people in Linzi seemed to treat the public trial of Sun Baiguang with a spectatorial attitude. No one sympathized with him or opposed him, not even the Sun family came. People, give this militia leader who once made the Sun family famous for a while a little bit more momentum.He couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, sighing to himself that the world is in a bad state. This shows that when his grandson's family was prosperous, he scrambled to curry favor with the middle-aged man who was about to be judged on the stage. At that time, he hugged him and hugged him. How majestic he is now. It's sad to be alone.

How could Wu Xiaoliang think that Li Youting beside him was thinking about it, he looked at his watch and whispered a few words to Li Zejun beside him.

Li Zejun tidied up his brand-new major general's uniform, stepped onto the stage, stood in front of the microphone and said loudly, "I will announce that the public trial of Sun Baiguang has officially begun!" Then he took the thick case file from the secretary of the provincial government, Read it word by word.

Among them, Sun Baiguang's evil deeds in Linzi County were enumerated, and even some secret things were dug out, such as stealing the widow of Zhang's family, and the big girl with yellow flowers who had never been married to other people.Sun Baiguang stood on the stage without daring to move, with a tall conical paper hat on his head, and the words "criminal" were written on it.Hearing that all his secrets had been revealed, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he sweated profusely.

At this time, his heart was ashamed, but he was a little sad. He did not expect to suffer such a great humiliation before he died. Now he can be regarded as having suffered all kinds of humiliation in front of the people of Linzi County, without any dignity left.But the only thing to be thankful for is that he kept his family and enough property for them to live and eat. Although Chairman Wu has a lot of means, but based on his understanding of him, he should be a person who keeps his promises.

Sun Baiguang listened to the sentence numbly like a walking dead, he didn't care about any charges, it's better to take a quick shot now, close his eyes and ignore the world affairs.Unexpectedly, he didn't hear the verdict after hearing it, and there was an inexplicable impatience in his heart.

Finally, Li Zejun paused for a few seconds to formally read out the verdict: "...the criminal Sun Baiguang is sentenced to ten years of freedom restriction, and this punishment will be executed in the Sun's mansion..."

Sun Baiguang thought he heard it wrong, and he didn't care about his former residence, so he asked in a loud voice, "Secretary General Li, but the death penalty was not imposed?"

"It's just being imprisoned at home, what's there to be afraid of..."

For a moment, Sun Baiguang seemed as if he had passed away. He thought he would die today, but he escaped with his life.Except for Sun Baiguang himself, all the spectators were astonished, and some even complained, "I woke up so early in vain, but I didn't see the main event of shooting Sun Baiguang..."

His words caught everyone's attention.

In any case, Sun Baiguang's political life in Linzi County was completely over. Wu Xiaoliang summoned Sun Baiguang's father Sun Xiushan that night. Sun Xiushan was different from Sun Baiguang's extreme impulsiveness. A character who has made the right decisions in all the team selections, but who knows that his son has no vision, but he almost caused the Sun family to suffer.He understands that the reason why Sun's family is still prosperous and well-off today is all because of Wu Xiaoliang's kindness to him.How could the mature Sun Xiushan not see the key here?

Sun Xiushan's mood fluctuated greatly today, which was a unique day in his life.In the morning, Qi Qiran watched his son disappear into the corner of the street, and couldn't help crying. The tragedy of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man also happened to him.Chairman Wu was also kind enough to let him go home and stay with his relatives for one night.Unexpectedly, after noon, another news came, saying that Sun Baiguang was not sentenced to death, nor shot, but was on his way home.

The old man still didn't believe it, thinking that it was a lie deliberately made up by his subordinates to appease his emotions. He still couldn't believe it until he saw his eldest son standing in front of him unscathed.From that moment on, he was always ready to be summoned by Wu Xiaoliang.Sure enough, he hurried to the provincial capital to thank him that night, regardless of his physical inconvenience.

What made him unbelievable was still to come. Apart from the fact that his eldest son was sent home, his second son, Sun Baishun, was actually appointed by Wu Xiaoliang as the deputy head of the newly established Linzi County Militia. The peasant association is directly responsible for the leadership, and Li Youting is in charge of the peasant association, which means that the entire militia group is under the command of Li Youting.

The old man was even more grateful to Wu Xiaoliang, and secretly praised Wu Xiaoliang for his heart and courage. He regretted that he did not try his best to prevent the eldest son from going against the provincial government, so that the Sun family had the passive situation it is today.On the way home, he secretly made up his mind that he must educate his second child not to be an enemy of Chairman Wu of the provincial government. Only by following in his footsteps will the Sun family have the hope of making a comeback, and it is unknown if their strength surpasses that of the past.

Wu Xiaoliang has successfully dealt with the affairs of the Sun family, and the last step is to consider establishing a security force in Shandong.He ordered the [-] student soldiers from Suidong to select ten of them from the militia, and after a month of training, they would be incorporated into the security forces.As for the [-] cavalry sent from Outer Mongolia, they were directly formed into a cavalry company.

In mid-September, the Shandong Security Force Headquarters was formally established. It currently has a brigade of 3000 troops, composed of [-] Suidong student troops as the backbone.At the same time, a regiment was sent to Dongying to control the nearest seaport to Linzi.At the same time, supplies from the Liangda Consortium were continuously brought in from Tianjin, including weapons and ammunition, cement tools, various machine parts, and a group of foreigners hired from abroad.

Do you feel strange about the arms transported by sea and land, but what are the piles of machines and foreigners used for?Is Chairman Wu going to build a factory?Investing in a factory is definitely a big investment with slow results, and given the business environment in China, the living space of factories invested by foreigners is very small, let alone Wu Xiaoliang who only knows about wars and has never been in business!

Among them, the doubts of Li Youting and Zhu Wusheng are the most clear. They think that instead of wasting money to build factories, it is better to use these investments to build an army. As long as the guns are strong enough, are you afraid that there will be no money?

Of course, if the two of them knew that the Liangda consortium, which is as wealthy as an enemy country, has business all over the world, it was the masterpiece of Wu Xiaoliang's ten years in the field, and they would definitely drop their jaws in shock...
