Therefore, Wang Husheng and the others were worried, but Xu Rui was not worried at all.
Wang Husheng sighed: "If this happens, our lives will be difficult."
"Don't worry, Old Wang. Chiang Kai-shek's hope of starving us to death through economic blockade is destined to be just wishful thinking." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "Chairman Mao has long said that you can do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing!"
Wang Husheng shook his head and said, "But the more than 70 million yuan must have been lost."
Xu Rui said happily: "Chiang Kai-shek took the initiative to tear up the agreement, so we no longer have to abide by all the previous agreements, so not only the three million shares transferred were recovered, but the three million yuan paid by Master Kong in advance also became
As for liquidated damages, you got three million in vain without paying anything. Aren’t you satisfied?"
Wang Husheng said: "The funds to build an industrial zone are still far from enough. What should we do?"
Xu Rui said: "Isn't the first batch of tea leaves about to be shipped soon? You can earn hundreds of thousands on this trip. When there are more packhorses and camels in the future, the amount of tea transported each time increases, and the profit will be natural.
It’s big, don’t worry, Baotou Industrial Zone will definitely be built, it just depends on the time.”
"But I'm worried." Wang Husheng said, "Otherwise, Lao Xu, you will find Zhukov again and ask him to ask the Soviet government to come forward and put pressure on the National Government?"
"It's useless." Xu Rui said, "Now Chairman Chiang doesn't care much about the Soviet Union's attitude."
Indeed, the Soviets are now facing huge military pressure from both the east and the west, and they no longer care about aiding China. As soon as the Soviet government's aid is reduced, the Nationalist government's attitude towards the Soviet Union immediately cools down. In recent times,
The diplomatic focus of the Nationalist Government has shifted to the United States, and it is doing everything possible to please the United States.
Wang Husheng said: "Then please ask Ms. Smedley to come forward and ask the American and British ministers in China to come forward to put pressure on the National Government and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek."
Xu Rui shook his head: "Old Wang, don't be naive."
After a pause, Xu Rui added: "The reason why the US and British governments were willing to come forward to put pressure was firstly because of chance, and secondly because of interests involved, but this time is different. This time they have missed the opportunity last time.
, and it does not involve the fundamental interests of the US and British governments, so they will not come forward."
Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, is this the matter?"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Old Wang, do you think it's possible to forget it?"
"I don't think it's possible." Wang Husheng said, "I know your character very well, Lao Xu. You are vindictive to your enemies, and you treat your allies with all your heart, and you want to tear your heart out."
"Isn't it settled now?" Xu Rui said with a smile, "After this time, let's settle this account with Chairman Chiang. Believe it or not, Lao Wang, Chairman Chiang will not only be obedient
To make up for the price difference of more than 70 million, we have to make up for our interest, so just wait and count the money, haha."
Wang Husheng said: "Then I will really wait and see."
"Just wait." Xu Rui smiled and said, "By the way, Shopkeeper Ma Da and the others set up a table at Hongyun Restaurant on behalf of Baotou's business community, saying they wanted to support us. Lao Wang, why don't you come with us?
?”
"Put it down, I don't have time." After Wang Husheng said that, he turned around and went to work.
Xu Rui brought two guards, Digua and Zhuoligetu, to the Hongyun Restaurant for the banquet.
…
At the same time, in Zhangjiakou.
Machida Ryuji strode into Okabe Naosaburo's office, paused and said: "Your Excellency, Commander!"
"Machida-kun, you are here." Naosaburo Okabe, who was reviewing documents, immediately stood up, walked around the big table and walked in front of Machida Ryuuji, and said with a smile, "Are you still used to being here in Zhangjiakou these days?
?”
"Hai." Machida Ryuji said with a heavy pause, "There's nothing I'm not used to."
"Yoshi." Naosaburo Okabe nodded happily and said, "Machida-kun, do the members of your special operations team often complain behind your back and complain that I don't arrange combat missions for you?"
"Hai!" Machida Ryuuji paused again and said, "Your Majesty Commander, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. A force, whether it is an ordinary combat force or a special force, is like a sword. If it is not used frequently, it will become damaged over time.
It will rust, but it can only stay sharp if it is used regularly and it is best to drink the blood of the enemy frequently!"
"Yoshi, you are indeed an elite of the special forces." Naosaburo Okabe nodded happily and said, "Machida-kun, now is your chance!"
"Really?" Machida Ryuuji perked up after hearing this.
To be honest, since being sent to Zhangjiakou by the commander of the North China Front, Anami Yuki, the Machida brigade has not been assigned any specific tasks. During this time, they were almost sick.
Naosaburo Okabe nodded and added: "The secret service has just received reliable news that the first batch of tea from Baotou Tea Trading Company will be shipped from Baotou soon. Whether this batch of tea can be delivered to Kulun in Mongolia safely and timely will be determined
It is directly related to the reputation of Baotou Tea Trading Company, and even more related to whether Baotou Tea Road can be truly unblocked."
Machida Ryuji was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you want us to intercept this batch of tea?"
"That's right." Naosaburo Okabe said, "If we destroy this batch of tea leaves, we must not let them send the tea leaves to Cullen."
Machida Ryuji frowned and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, please forgive me for speaking frankly. The special forces are a strategic force, so they should carry out strategic-level tasks. In the entire Suiyuan, the only ones who can reach this level are Fu Zuoyi and Xu Rui.
Between the two of us, if we have to add a third target, it would be the Baotou Industrial Zone that is under construction."
After a pause, Machida Ryuji continued: "As for Baotou Tea Trading Company, it can only be regarded as a tactical target at best, and the tea shipped by Baotou Tea Trading Company cannot even be regarded as a tactical level target. However, Commander
Your Excellency, you ordered our special operations brigade to attack such a target that is not even at the tactical level?"
"Baga!" Naosaburo Okabe said angrily, "Are you questioning my command?"
"Hai, I have no intention of offending the Commander." Machida Ryuuji paused, "I just feel that sending out our special operations brigade to seize tea is simply killing a chicken with a sledgehammer. It is overkill and overkill. Commander, you can do it.
Leave this trivial task to the cavalry group."
"Nani?" Naosaburo Okabe said angrily, "A trivial task?"
Machida Ryuji said forcefully: "Your Excellency, Commander, isn't it?"
(PS: Swordsman has opened a WeChat official account. If you search for jmjk1978, you can add the official account. In the future, Swordsman will try his best to take time to log in to the official account to communicate with you about current events and related works.)
Naosaburo Okabe took a deep breath of cold air, tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Machida-kun, have you ever heard of the story of an iron nail?"
"Nani?" Machida Ryuuji said blankly, "What nails?"
"Machida-kun, you really should study more." Naosaburo Okabe said solemnly, "The story goes like this, because a nail was missing, a horseshoe fell out; because a horseshoe fell out, the result was
A war horse was thrown down; because a war horse was thrown down, a general died; because a general was killed, a battle was lost; because a battle was lost, a country was destroyed! A small heart
An iron nail eventually led to the destruction of a country. Machida-kun, can you say that this iron nail is insignificant?"
"This~~" Machida Ryuji was speechless.
Naosaburo Okabe added: "At certain times, small stones can smash big pots, and small people can stir up big storms! A .38-caliber Browning pistol plus an unknown little person can stir up trouble.
With tens of millions of casualties in the European war, can you say that this assassin is an insignificant target?"
"This~~" Machida Ryuuji became more and more speechless.
Naosaburo Okabe added: "Let's just talk about this Baotou Tea Trading Company. This is not an ordinary company. Do you know how much profit Xu Rui used it as leverage? Let me tell you this, with this
From the Baotou tea trading company, Xu Rui not only obtained all the equipment of a small industrial zone from the Soviet Union, but also made tens of millions of profits every year. All of this was because of this tea trading company and the redevelopment of the tea road.
Unblock! Is this really a trivial goal?”
Machida Ryuji's face darkened. It was obvious that he had been touched by Okabe Naosaburo's words.
After a slight pause, Naosaburo Okabe continued: "There is a Chinese proverb, which is that when a snake is hit, it will hit its seven inches. If Xu Rui's Chahar Independent Regiment is compared to a snake, then the Baotou Tea Road is its seven inches.
It's a critical point! Machida-kun, if your special operations team can successfully intercept this batch of tea leaves, it will destroy all the Chinese people's expectations of reconnecting the Baotou Tea Road. Once this lever is broken, Xu Rui will use it to pry it up
All interests will collapse!"
"Hai!" Machida Ryuuji nodded heavily and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I understand your humble position."
"Yoshi." After Naosaburo Okabe finished speaking, he turned back behind the big table, took out a short sword from the knife rest, walked back to Machida Ryuuji, and said solemnly, "Machida-kun, this one
The sword was given to me by Your Excellency Anan, and now I will give it to you in the hope that you can be successful on the battlefield with it."
Machida Ryuji solemnly took the short sword, paused and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I will never live up to your expectations in this humble position. This batch of tea from Baotou Tea Trading Company will never reach Kulun!" After a pause, he continued.
Said, "Not only this batch, but also it is impossible for a brick of tea to enter Mongolia through the China-Mongolia border in the future!"
"Yo Xi." Naosaburo Okabe nodded happily and said, "Machida-kun, then I wish you a successful start."
After finishing speaking, Naosaburo Okabe's brows suddenly frowned, because the words he just said sounded so familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he recalled that when Masaro Baba led the First Cavalry Brigade to the Sino-Mongolian border
When intercepting the equipment, he said goodbye to Baba Masashiro in the same way.
But in the end, the 1st Cavalry Brigade was completely wiped out, and the body of Masahiro Baba was not found.
Thinking of this, Naosaburo Okabe quickly changed his words: "Machida-kun, you must be cautious in this attack!"
"Hai!" Machida Ryuuji nodded once again and walked away immediately.
