"Do you miss me?" Zhao Qingqiu asked playfully.

Although Yang Hongru wanted to answer truthfully and said that he had never thought about it, he felt that he could not hurt such a woman in this way.

"Of course I do! I really want to! Really!" Yang Hongru said with integrity. At this time, possessed by various movie stars, he seemed particularly sincere.

"Is it hard working with the Eighth Route Army? Have you ever fought in a war?" Zhao Qingqiu asked curiously.

I heard from others that when educated young people like Yang Hongru came to Yan'an, they usually took clerical jobs and did not have to fight with ghosts. Therefore, she had not been too worried about Yang Hongru's safety in the past few years.

But she didn't expect that Yang Hongru actually nodded: "We fought! I have been following Captain Li since around 1940! In the past five years, we have fought many big and small battles, from Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei to northwest Shanxi."

Zhao Qingqiu asked curiously: "Captain Li? Which Commander Li? It can't be Commander Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, right?"

Yang Hongru looked embarrassed: "Have you heard of Lao Li's name here?"

"Did you really go to war with Captain Li?" Zhao Qingqiu said fearfully: "Guisha is crazy about your independent group!"

Yang Hongru took out his demobilization certificate from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Qingqiu. It clearly stated that Yang Hongru was discharged from the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. At this moment, Zhao Qingqiu couldn't help but look like a fangirl - he was so affected these days.

The girl sought after the anti-Japanese hero, and her husband turned out to be a soldier of Captain Li Yunlong, a famous soldier in the North China battlefield.

Zhao Qingqiu asked curiously: "Is Captain Li particularly vicious? I heard legends that his eyes are as big as a bell, and his beard is very scary."

"Where did you hear such outrageous rumors? If he was really that scary, I would live next door to him... and how dare I sleep there?" Yang Hongru said funny.

Zhao Qingqiu asked: "Do you work in the security company? Live next door to the regiment leader to protect him at all times?"

"Why can't I be the protected leader?" Yang Hongru rubbed his nose and asked: "Although I retired as a soldier, I am actually the chief of staff of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army... In addition to the regiment, the independent regiment

The political commissar Changhe has the final say."

"Huh? You can still be the chief of staff?" The person who knows you best is the person next to you. To be honest, Yang Hongru, whom Zhao Qingqiu knows, is only qualified to be a propaganda officer, policy teacher, etc...

Let him be the chief of staff and lead the troops to fight? It's really a bit embarrassing!

Yang Hongru smiled: "Do you understand that after three days of separation, you should treat each other with admiration? Your men are famous within the Eighth Route Army, but I kept a low profile during the war. Every time I signed up, I mentioned the regimental commander.

"

"So you have fought a lot of wars? Is fighting fun?" Zhao Qingqiu asked. She is now a girl in her twenties. Although she has been married for many years, she has just graduated from college.

Yang Hongru scratched his head: "This really can't be described as not fun. Outsiders think war is very lively. But we hate war - people will die in war. Sometimes after fighting, you will find that you will never see each other again.

When some familiar people commanded the siege of Ping'an City, although tens of thousands of us attacked the enemy who were in their early 1,000s, we still sacrificed thousands of people. This does not include the brother troops who came to support us and block the attack."

When Zhao Qingqiu heard what Yang Hongru said, he changed the topic and chatted with Yang Hongru about trivial matters in life. While chatting, Yang Hongru said: "Qingqiu, our Yang family is moving overseas... Do you want to follow me?

Go together?"

"When I marry you, I am the daughter-in-law of the Yang family... But why do you want to go overseas? Isn't China bad?" Zhao Qingqiu asked.

Yang Hongru said vaguely: "China is on the threshold of a major change that has not happened in a thousand years... China's future must be brilliant. But development will inevitably bring pain..."

Zhao Qingqiu listened to Yang Hongru's analysis, and she felt that her husband had really grown up. When they were separated, Yang Hongru was just a young boy who was full of ambitions to serve the country but had no ability. However, after being tempered by the war,

Through training, he grew into a towering pillar of strength.

"Do you need me to convince my parents to go together?" Zhao Qingqiu asked.

Yang Hongru thought about it and said, "There is no need to rush this. I still have no place to establish myself outside. After I establish a foundation in Nanyang, it will be a good idea for the Zhao family to move. There is no need to take risks now..."

After staying in his hometown for three days, Yang Hongru set out lightly. He also carried his father's large yellow croaker with him, and the suitcase of more than 100 kilograms seemed like nothing in his hands. In addition, he

In the mezzanine of his suitcase is the roulette he used to protect himself - who knows what kind of monsters and monsters he will encounter along the way? How can he go without weapons?

Fortunately, there is no X-ray machine in the security check at the train station these days, otherwise he would have been detained!

When he arrived in the Magic City, Yang Hongru found Political Commissar Zhao and the brothers he had brought from the Independence Regiment. He took his brothers to Huaqi Bank to exchange the big yellow croaker for American knives - anyway, the Bretton Woods system has not collapsed yet, and the American knives

It can be exchanged for gold at any time.

As the most open city in China, the city is bustling with people from three religions and nine streams. Although Yang Hongru and his entourage are not high-profile, they have also caught the eyes of some caring people. Fortunately, Yang Hongru was vigilant enough and after the exchange,

After gold, immediately go south to Hangzhou Steel.

They were transported to Sumatra by freighter through acquaintances in Hangzhou Iron and Steel. They were really unfamiliar with the place when they first arrived. Only after Yang Hongru became proficient in a language could he communicate skillfully with the locals. Through the local Dutch,

He contacted a large number of businessmen engaged in foreign trade. These businessmen have great powers and can buy almost anything for you as long as you can afford it!

However, their asking price was very harsh, so Yang Hongru had to keep his eyes peeled and shop around. However, in the early stage of development, money must be used to pave the way, and Yang Hongru didn't care too much if he was cheated by a lot of money or two.

At the same time, he contacted the local Chinese Federation. Chinese organizations overseas are very cohesive. As long as you are Chinese, you will get some basic care - for example, when you are really running out of food, people will help you find food.

a job.

Of course, Yang Hongru has no such low demands. He came to the Chinese Federation just to show off his face and worship the people on the mountain. What's more, he will also carry the banner of the Chinese in the future, so he must first make all parties familiar with him.

.

Zhao Gang helped Yang Hongru handle the internal affairs of factories and mines. Yang Hongru was in charge of external affairs, and Zhao Gang was in charge of internal affairs. This independent group housekeeper's ability in internal affairs was quite reliable, and bringing him along was definitely the most correct thing Yang Hongru had done.

choose!

In the two years from 1945 to 1947, Yang Hongru had become a famous businessman on Sumatra Island. He even had his own territory and power.

There are many industries belonging to Yang Hongru - iron ore mining, petrochemical industry, steel smelting, shipbuilding, agricultural planting, military production... In addition to the apparent industries, he also supports brothers from the Independent Group to start their own businesses.

Of the more than 200 brothers, more than 100 have become well-known local factory owners.

Yang Hongru, who had established a foothold overseas, of course immediately sent a ship to bring the Yang family and the Zhao family who were far away in China. There was already a war in China, and North China was surrounded by war smoke. It was really not a paradise on earth.

In Yang Hongru's territory, you have to bow your head no matter who comes - his area is known locally as the Dan San Guan area. Daying can't control it, He Lan can't control it, and the Yinni local government can't control it either. He

In Sumatra, there is really something like a local emperor - if you want guns, you can have guns, and if you want cannons, who is he?

After two years of development, he has more than 15,000 "security vigilance militia" under his command. The weapons are all the most advanced assault rifles in the world. In addition to assault rifles, this militia also has its own artillery and armored units.

Don’t ask where the tank came from! Just ask, it was a modified tractor!

In the past two years, Yang Hongru has been supplying weapons and ammunition to the People's Liberation Army. In particular, the center field where Li Yunlong's department is located has benefited the most. Li Yunlong's guards are even using shotguns and cannons with submachine guns "made in the United States (India) and China (mud)"! That's right!

It is this kind of "local tycoon" that makes Li Yunlong be remembered.
