The Republic of Heroes

At dawn, the citizens of Xi'an were surprised to find that groups of cars drove into the city, including jeeps from the Shandong Army and large trucks from the Northwest Army, with their serial numbers printed on the doors, followed by a group of The soldiers on both sides of the team marched side by side, as if the tense and intense atmosphere of war did not exist at all.

The citizens talked a lot.

"Isn't Commander Yang and the surname Dong always at odds? Why is he doing well today like wearing a pair of trousers?"

"Isn't it a move? I heard that Commissioner Wu from Shandong is here. It should be Commissioner Wu."

"Hey, I heard that Commissioner Wu was killed the day before yesterday. Didn't you hear that last night, the [-]th Division marched northward and crossed the Weihe River..."

"Don't talk nonsense, if there is a war, why didn't you even hear the sound of the guns this night?"

"All of you, open your eyes and look. There is obviously a group of friendly people in front of you, and you are talking about war."

A word to remind the dreamer, yes, the Shandong Army and the Northwest Army have entered the city side by side, so the news that the two armies are about to fight will naturally disappear.

At noon that day, in front of the gate of the Xi’an Provincial Government Office, Wu Xiaoliang, Zhang Xueliang, and Yang Hucheng issued a joint statement, declaring that the three parties formally joined forces in Shaanxi to form a company. concerned, but they interpreted a key signal from it.

That is, the three of Wu, Zhangyang and Yang are already wearing the same pair of trousers. The sudden change of the situation has surprised some irrelevant people who are going to watch the fun, but for the vast majority of citizens, objectively speaking, this is definitely a problem. The good news is that the haze of war has been swept away, and this thousand-year-old capital that fell on the land of Sanqin will be spared a war.

The decree that came out immediately made the citizens breathe a sigh of relief. All Japanese-funded commercial firms in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Provincial National Government were all confiscated, and many commercial firms located in Xi'an City became the target of public criticism.

It wasn't until many commercial firms were closed down that the citizens of Xi'an realized that the bosses behind them were actually Japanese. Some of them accepted the Japanese joint venture shares, and the confiscation of this part of the assets was brutal and brutal, and they were all discounted. As a result, many people went bankrupt, and many people hanged themselves, so that the headlines of local newspapers in Xi'an reported which big Master committed suicide again Yunyun.

It is true that this simple and rude approach will be protested, but Wu Xiaoliang does not seem to intervene in the specific affairs. This time the actions are completely in charge of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. It is clear that they want to be traitors and use the influence of the Japanese to make a fortune for the country. Once Xi'an falls, these people will be out-and-out traitors sooner or later. To be thorough, even their property will be confiscated.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing. The old friend who helped Wu Xiaoliang in Fengtian asked to see him, he naturally couldn't refuse, but this person brought a guy named Shuntaro Tominaga.

"My humble name is Juntaro Tominaga, the president of Zhongyuan Mining Co., Ltd. Please give me your advice."

While bowing at [-] degrees, the short Japanese handed his business card to Wu Xiaoliang with straight hands.

Under Wu Xiaoliang's gesture, the adjutant took the business card. He looked at the Japanese in front of him, and he already understood his intentions. He had heard of this Zhongyuan Mining Co., Ltd., and its business spread all over the Yellow River. Countless mineral resources such as coal and iron are transported to the Northeast every year in several provinces in the upper and lower basins. In fact, they are doing business under the guise of plundering China's mineral resources.

During the period, there were many sensational and plundering incidents, which had been busy with the military and neglected before. It was not until the summary of newspapers from various places in recent days that I learned that this so-called mining company has grown to a jaw-dropping level. .

What's more, even the coal supply of many places, including the military administrative office, relies on these mining clubs, but I didn't expect the Japanese's sense of smell to be so sensitive. For this mining giant, it is only in the asset investigation stage. I didn't expect their president Already paid a visit.

Wu Xiaoliang looked at the old man who was in Fengtian again. At the beginning, this person was still a big celebrity in front of Zhang Zuolin, a head of the garrison headquarters, but now he did not expect to become a pawn of the Japanese. In fact, after Zhang Zuolin died, Zhang Xueliang It turned out that many military and political officials in the Northeast Army were more or less traitors. This is not surprising in the current situation, but it seems that the colleagues at the beginning seem to be still in front of them, but now they are Such a situation can't help but make people sigh.

Wu Xiaoliang has nothing to do with this person, and he has nothing to talk about with the president of the mining association named Shuntaro Tominaga. He always flirts with him with the attitude of not slapping a smile on his face, and he admires him a little. The courage and perseverance of this Juntaro Tominaga, knowing that the Japanese army and the Shandong army were already fighting to the point of intense heat, actually wanted to intercede to keep his mining club.

"Wu Sang may have misunderstood you. I am here this time because I sincerely hope to cooperate with you. After all, a country is a country, and an individual is an individual. I deeply regret the losses caused by our government and soldiers to your military and civilians. , but for these, how can a businessman control them, and ask Wu Sang to give up his prejudices, we will cooperate sincerely..."

Wu Xiaoliang found it ridiculous. Only ghosts would believe his words. If there was no military support behind him, how could the Zhongyuan Mining Association occupy almost all of the iron ore mines in southern Hebei? The activities of the club on the north and south banks of the Yellow River have never stopped.

It is possible that many geological survey technicians were faked by Japanese soldiers. This can explain why the Japanese airborne troops attacked Luoyang so quickly and ruthlessly. It is obvious that someone guided them precisely on the ground. Yang Xiaoou of the Central Second Army has not heard from him yet, and his life and death are unknown. How much of this is due to Zhongyuan Mining Co., Ltd. is unknown.

"Mr. Tominaga wants to cooperate."

"Yes."

"I don't know if you have any specific ideas that you can express and listen to."

Tominaga Juntaro smiled happily: "Wu Sang bought shares personally, and can control 20.00% to 30.00% of the entire club's shares. I don't know what Wu Sang wants."
