In Guisui, the North Road Military Division of the World War II Zone www..lā.
Wei Jingyun walked into the war room angrily and said to Fu Zuoyi: "General Manager, I have led troops to search all the puppet and Mongolian government agencies in Guisui City. They even screened the cellars, but there was not even a big one." I can’t even find my son, these traitors must have moved all their belongings in advance.”
"What do you mean?" Fu Zuoyi was stunned and said, "This shouldn't be the case."
"It really shouldn't be." Ye Qijie also said, "The attack on Guisui by the Langya Brigade was very sudden. The Japanese and puppet Mongolian troops in Guisui City had no time to transfer their property. Soon after, the entire Guisui was controlled by the Langya Brigade. , the little Japanese and the puppet Mongolian army have no chance to transfer property, how is it possible that there is no big man?"
"It's broken, it must be Langya!" Fu Zuoyi said bitterly, "It must be Langya who took away all the property."
"This shouldn't be the case." Ye Qijie shook his head and said, "Guisui is the capital of the puppet Mongolian government, and it is also the base of the Japanese cavalry group stationed in Mongolia. In addition to money, there must be a large amount of supplies, but now Not only was there no money, but there was no material at all, not even a grain of food was found. This is absolutely abnormal."
Fu Zuojiu's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He hadn't thought much about it before, but after Ye Qijie said this, he came back to his senses.
This thing is indeed abnormal, because the idea of exchanging Baotou for Guisui was very sudden. Not to mention that Xu Rui could not prepare in advance, even they themselves were not prepared. Because of this, many supplies in Baotou City did not have time to take away, and everyone Xu Rui was advantaged, including the food and grass raised by the Japanese for the Wuyuan Battle.
However, Fu Zuoyi did not feel distressed when leaving Baotou.
Because they had no time to take away the supplies from Baotou, and Xu Rui also had no time to take away the supplies from Guisui. Moreover, Guisui was the capital of Suiyuan Province, so the stockpiled supplies would only be more than those in Baotou. Therefore, Fu Zuoyi generously transferred Baotou to He left the supplies behind and hurried to Guisui, preparing to receive the supplies from Guisui.
However, there was actually no supplies at all in Guisui City!
Now that I think about it carefully, this matter is indeed abnormal. How could Guisui not have any supplies at all
Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie looked at each other and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xinwu, what do you think of this matter?"
"There seem to be only two explanations for this." Ye Qijie said in a deep voice, "One is that the Japanese and the Puppet-Mongolian government did not hoard supplies in Guisui City, but transferred all the supplies to Baotou. However, I thought this was a possibility. It’s very small. After all, Guisui is the provincial capital of Suiyuan Province and the capital of the Puppet-Mongolian government!”
Fu Zuoyi nodded and asked, "What about the second explanation?"
Ye Qijie said solemnly: "The second explanation is that all the supplies in Guisui City have been taken away!"
"This is absolutely impossible!" Fu Zuoyi shook his head decisively and said in a deep voice, "As you just said, Guisui is not only the provincial capital of Suiyuan Province, but also the capital of the Puppet-Mongolian government. There must be hundreds of supplies in stock. Tons or even thousands of tons, not to mention other things, the food alone is worth hundreds of thousands of dan. How can it be possible to transport so much material in just one night?"
"There is only one possibility, to transport them away separately!" After Ye Qijie finished speaking, he turned to Wei Jingyun and asked, "Captain Wei, during the period when you were temporarily stationed outside Guisui City, did you ever see Chahar?" Is the Independent Regiment secretly transporting supplies?"
"I don't think I saw this." Wei Jingyun shook his head subconsciously, but then he said, "Ah, I remembered it. One time, a soldier on patrol at night reported to me that a carriage was returning home at night. Sui quietly left the city, and the patrol wanted to come forward for questioning, but found that it was the carriage of the Chahar Independent Regiment, so they didn't ask any more questions."
"That's it!" Ye Qijie slapped his thigh and said, "This means that as early as a few days ago, Xu Rui had quietly transported the supplies in Guisui City separately!" At this point, Ye Qijie was suddenly attracted by himself His judgment was startled, and he said sternly, "So, doesn't it mean that Xu Rui had already expected that we would trade Baotou with him for Guisui?"
"What do you mean?" Fu Zuoyi's face immediately fell, "Xu Rui had expected that we would trade Baotou for Guisui?"
"Most likely." Ye Qijie smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Otherwise, how could Guisui become an empty city?"
"This guy is really cunning!" Fu Zuoyi said bitterly, "He really won't suffer any losses!"
"There's no need for the chief to be angry. We were tricked by Xu Rui, but he also suffered a loss!" Ye Qijie chuckled, handed the telegram in his hand to Fu Zuoyi, and said, "This is the Intelligence Department lurking The informant in Baotou City just sent back the news that Yao Dahai has posed a big problem for Xu Rui."
Fu Zuoyi took the telegram and read it, and immediately burst out laughing: "Hahaha, I'm really sorry that this guy named Yao thought of not only compensating all the losses caused to Baotou merchants during the Japanese occupation of Baotou, but also deducting the next five years." Annual business tax, this damn thing is just stabbing Xu Rui in the heart!"
Ye Qijie smiled and said: "Why not stab him? Anyway, he doesn't have to pay for it with his surname Yao."
"That's right." Fu Zuoyi said with a smile, "Qian Xu Rui came out, but his good reputation belongs to Yao Dahai. Where can you find such a good thing?"
Ye Qijie chuckled and continued: "This trend has been stirred up. Baotou merchants have launched a collective strike because they cannot collect compensation. Moreover, it is still led by Fuzifu and Weizihao. More than a hundred merchants have gone on strike. Follow up, this momentum is really not small, I want to see how Xu Rui ends up?"
Fu Zuoyi chuckled, then his expression suddenly changed and he said, "Oh no!"
Ye Qijie was startled by Fu Zuoyi's voice and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with you, Chief?"
Fu Zuoyi waved his hand and said: "Brother Xinwu, you just said that Xu Rui had known that we would trade Baotou with him for Guisui. So tell me, is this a trap? Have we already suffered a big loss? If not, what will happen in the future?" With Xu Rui's character, he doesn't take any losses, can he obediently trade Guisui with us for Baotou?"
Ye Qijie's expression changed slightly. He really hadn't thought about this.
However, after pondering for a moment, Ye Qijie still shook his head and said: "I don't think I will suffer a loss, right? Because Guisui is better than Baotou in terms of population, industry and commerce, not to mention political influence. No matter which aspect, this We took advantage of every transaction, and what Xu Rui earned was only Sui's supplies, but he would have to spit them out soon, and he might even be owed money. In the past two years since the Japanese invaded Baotou, Baotou merchants had suffered considerable losses. !”
"This is called stealing a chicken but losing a handful of rice." After Ye Qijie's analysis, Fu Zuoyi felt relieved and said with a smile, "Xu Rui always only knows how to scheme against others, but he was schemed against by Yao. , this is called the Tao is one foot high, the devil is ten feet high, haha, so happy, I have to drink two cups tonight."
…
In Baotou, the headquarters of the Chahar Independent Regiment.
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "Old Xu, this is really troublesome."
"Trouble?" Xu Rui said coldly, "What's the trouble?"
"Look at this." Leng Tiefeng handed over a blue leather account book and said, "This was just sent to us by the Baotou Chamber of Commerce. It contains detailed records of the two years since the Japanese invaded Baotou. It was given to all the merchants in Baotou. The losses caused, ranging from hundreds of thousands of silver dollars to a few silver dollars, are all recorded."
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng said again: "All losses are accumulated, and the total discount exceeds five million oceans! With such a large amount of money, even if we compensate all the materials obtained by Guisui and Baotou, there will still be a big difference. That is to say, if we continue to pay compensation, not only will we fail to benefit from this battle, but we will also have to pay a lot of money!"
"I'll pay for it!" Ma Fei said, "It was Yao who said it. Let them go to Yao. If Yao can't afford it, let him go to the Kuomintang and Chiang Kai-shek. We Who has provoked whom? Why should we pay compensation? There is no such reason in the world, and I don’t believe it is unreasonable."
"The reason is that Baotou City is now under the control of our Chahar Independent Group!" Leng Tiefeng said angrily, "If Baotou merchants have any problems, if they don't come to us, who else can they go to?"
Ma Fei said angrily: "Let them find someone named Yao."
"The person surnamed Yao said that he is a supervisory committee sent by the central government. He is only responsible for supervision, not execution." Leng Tiefeng said, "So now he is in the same camp as the Baotou merchants. His only responsibility now is to effectively protect Protect the interests and rights of Baotou merchants and prevent our Baotou anti-Japanese democratic government from abusing its power."
"We don't recognize the bullshit supervisory committee," Ma Fei said angrily.
Leng Tiefeng shook his head and said: "Although Yao's behavior is very irritating, but objectively and fairly, he did nothing wrong. Baotou merchants did suffer a lot of losses during the Japanese occupation of Baotou, and they do need some treatment." Compensation and business tax exemptions are also needed, otherwise Baotou’s business environment will only get worse.”
Ma Feiyue got angry and said: "The people with the last name Yao became good people, but we became evil people?"
"That's a wishful thinking." Xu Rui suddenly sneered, and then continued, "The so-called devil is as high as the Taoist. Yao thought that by inciting Baotou merchants to get compensation and reduce business taxes, he could He is too naive to hold on to our independent group. He will never understand that what businesses pursue is profits."
"Businessmen always pursue profits?" Leng Tiefeng nodded and said, "Old Xu, do you have any ideas?"
"That's right." Xu Rui nodded vigorously and continued, "Yao Dahai's intention is nothing more than to cause trouble for us and prevent the establishment and operation of the anti-Japanese democratic government in Baotou, while the intention of the Baotou merchants is nothing more than to cause trouble for us. Use the tiger's skin, pull up the banner, and use Yao Dahai's hand to gain more economic benefits."
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "This is simply a deadlock."
"Dead knot?" Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."
