Chapter 922 If He Doesn’t Agree, Should We Stop Doing Business?
This is a bold plan, and if it succeeds, it will allow both parties to live a good life without shame or anxiety.
After listening to Xiao Ya's explanation for about ten minutes, Zhou Weiguo came to a conclusion.
"Sister Xiao." Shen Xin approached Xiao Ya. "You mean, we and the 4th Division should open up a trading area or a town where both sides can trade freely?"
Xiao Ya nodded. "Yes, if the Japanese army has no intention of moving north, then the 4th Division will definitely stay here for a long time. Since everyone has no intention of fighting, why can't we coexist peacefully? Besides, my mountain city has many local specialties that can be sold, and I think the 4th Division must have their own professional channels. We can all get what we need. Isn't that a good thing?"
"That makes sense. It can also enrich the lives of the soldiers. But will it cause a fight between the two sides?"
"That would require strict institutional management. However, I don't think the 4th Division intends to fight. They just want to make money. Why would they fight? Perhaps no one understands the saying, 'Harmony brings wealth,' better than them."
"I'll contact them." Xiao Ye thought this was feasible, but when he reached the door, he thought about it and asked, "Old Zhou, are you going to tidy up the vegetable garden yet?"
"Let's do it," Zhou Weiguo said affirmatively. "Whether we fight or not, let's eat for a while first. Besides, this is also a good opportunity for us to win the hearts and minds of the local people. We must let them know that it was the British who abandoned them. They had almost no way out, but we gave them a way out when they were desperate."
Shen Xin had always been in charge of publicity work. After hearing Zhou Weiguo's general idea, she turned to look at Wang Yun, who was writing copy not far away. "Help me get this done."
Wang Yun stopped writing and looked up at Shen Xin. He also felt that they were the most suitable people for this kind of publicity, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll work with you on this."
Japanese Army 4th Division Headquarters.
Division Commander Ichiro Hirata immediately summoned his two brigade commanders after returning to his headquarters.
Seeing the two men come in, he pointed at them rudely and said, "Can you please control your subordinates? You have completely embarrassed me. I have completely embarrassed you."
Thinking about what happened in Tonggu two days ago, when he asked Terauchi Juichi to say that, his old face twitched.
He told himself explicitly and implicitly that when he went to the front, he should not only think about making money, but also consider the impact on the Imperial Army.
"Hi." The two brigade commanders responded in unison.
"Don't go too far. The higher-ups allow us to sell supplies, but they also ask us not to go too far. You..."
"Hi."
"Our heavy weapons and equipment have been transferred to the 55th Division. Behind us, there is a regiment of troops. They will be the main force to monitor us and deal with the enemy. Wang, we must pay attention to the impact."
"Hi."
"Go back to your place." These two bastards are really annoying. No matter what you say, they will use this sentence to deal with you.
If they are wrong, they admit it quickly, but they will dare to do it again next time.
Shangjing and Gangcun, two brothers in distress, looked at each other, turned around and left the command center.
"What do you mean? You don't intend to let us do business." Gangcun turned his head to look at the command center and asked his good brother Shangjing beside him.
Shang Jing didn't say anything, but just took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked it.
"I've brought several truckloads of supplies here. Also, my quartermaster has gone out to buy goods. Not letting us do business is like digging our skin in the ground."
Gangcun snorted in dissatisfaction.
Shang Jing glanced at him and said, "If he doesn't let us do it, then we won't do it. So what? When will we really care about orders from above?"
That makes sense. The two looked at each other again and smiled cunningly.
Who were they facing? The Independent Brigade, which they had dealt with before.
Hello, I'm fine, everyone is fine, this can be fully reflected in this.
"Don't bother with him, let's just do our thing." Gangcun encouraged himself and got in the car. He had to hurry back to the headquarters to hold an emergency meeting to discuss how to do business, no, how to defend against the enemy.
Zhou Weiguo has been wandering around the front positions for the past two days. He knows that the 4th Division's combat effectiveness is not strong, but he also knows that caution is the best way to go. Therefore, his requirement for the front-line soldiers is that trenches, individual trenches, anti-artillery holes, etc. should be reinforced.
It is even more important to ensure that the machine gun position has two layers of sandbags. After all, once the battle begins, the machine gun will become the enemy's main target of defense.
After walking around and returning to the headquarters, Zhou Weiguo took off his helmet and handed it to Zhao Shoutian. He saw Xiao Ye was actually there. He walked over and asked, "Where did you go and come back?"
"I didn't go?" Ono said, moving the abacus in his hand.
Did not go.
Zhou Weiguo was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "You didn't go, then where have you been these two days?"
"Chen Ning and I are going to investigate what supplies the 4th Division is lacking. What supplies are the soldiers short of?"
what?
Zhou Weiguo pointed at Xiaoye and said, "Things haven't been done yet, and you're already thinking about buying goods. If this doesn't work out, you'll end up with nothing."
After putting down the abacus and pen, Ono said, "Do you understand them or do I understand them?"
this?
Zhou Weiguo paused for a moment and then said, "Of course you know them better."
"That's right, I know them better than you do. We want to do business with them, and they want to do business with us too. In this business, whoever speaks first is at a disadvantage. So Xiao Ya and I thought about it and decided that we shouldn't rush this matter. We need to let them come to us."
"I don't understand business matters, and I can't offer much advice, but I guess I won't be able to see you flourish here."
After discussing with Fang Shengli the chances and methods of the Japanese army's interception of their attack, Tadayoshi Sano and Ichiro Kuroki came to Zhou Weiguo.
Fang Shengli even took the ruler in his hand and walked up to Zhou Weiguo. "Old Zhou, from what you said, you want to leave?"
Zhou Weiguo lit a cigarette and nodded. "Well, I have to go out and take care of a few things, so you guys will be in charge here from now on."
Xiao Ye sighed and looked at Zhou Weiguo with a smile, "Where are you going? You look like you'll be gone for quite a while."
Zhou Weiguo nodded. "It won't be long. I'm just going to kill a few people."
kill?
Several people looked at each other, Fang Shengli took a deep breath and asked, "Who do you want to kill?"
