Chapter 83 Drunk
Zhou Xiaoshan seemed to have transformed into Yongzhou's investment promotion commissioner.
Starting from Yongzhou's geography, transportation, minerals, products, and climate, it also introduces the taxes in Yongzhou, the 66th Division's defense zone, and the preferential policies for industrialists who move south or west to Sichuan.
As they exchanged cups, several people pricked up their ears.
According to Zhou Xiaoshan, if the Japanese army invaded and a full-scale war broke out between China and Japan, Yongzhou would be a paradise.
He relayed the views of the 66th Division very clearly.
Industrialists are rare business talents in the Republic of China, especially national industrialists with integrity. Like the soldiers who dared to shoot at the Japanese invaders and fight for their lives, they are the backbone of the country and the national treasure.
We cannot be wiped out in the smoke of war.
Or they might compromise and try to bow to the brutal Japanese army in order to save their jobs or lives.
We should go to the rear, a safe place, to purchase equipment and overcome a series of operational difficulties such as transportation and cost.
No matter what daily necessities are produced, they are the greatest contribution to the War of Resistance.
Zhou Xiaoshan gradually expanded Yongzhou's mineral resources to the whole of Sichuan, and introduced the electrolytic aluminum, aluminum products industry, leather raw materials and leather products industry in the western Sichuan Plateau, a large number of coal mines, aluminum mines, phosphate mines, coal products industry and other investment industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
Sichuan's industrial base is almost blank, so they should not limit themselves to familiar industries. Of course, their match industry and transportation industry are also Sichuan's shortcomings. Zhang Jixian, Chen Mianyuan and Duan Yongheng nodded .
Good wine and good food.
I got drunk without realizing it.
Chen Hong and his friends praised the dishes cooked by the chef of the special forces camp.
Zhou Xiaoshan's mouth curled up. Of course, in order to ensure the food for these soldiers, Commander Feng selected the best firemen from each brigade and specially organized a reinforced platoon, which was dispersed to various companies of the special service battalion. Even the military pay was paid according to the standard for soldiers.
Besides, my taste and cooking skills in my previous life were not exaggerated.
After drinking too much, the topic became more and more chaotic.
In this era, there is no way to avoid the current situation.
There were calls in Japan to destroy China in three months, and the Japanese army was rebelling. Countless generals were eager to expand the country's territory and build achievements. In addition, when Mr. Chiang Bai-ri's view that there would be a war between China and Japan came out, everyone was shocked.
Duan Yongheng and Zhang Jixian just felt that their business had come to an end.
This country, this government, doesn't give them any hope.
The victory of the Great Wall War of Resistance was more like boiling a frog in warm water, and the establishment of Manchukuo was a smoke screen used by the Japanese, which Zhou Xiaoshan unravelled layer by layer.
Chen Hong was sobered up.
Jiuda, Yongli, and Tianjin City were so dangerous that even Yonglining, far away in Nanjing, was in the same situation.
Within three years, the Sino-Japanese War will break out in full swing.
Duan Yongheng and Zhang Jixian's faces were flushed with drink. At first, they just had a hunch about the danger in Pingjin and that business was too difficult. They had never conducted a systematic comparative analysis based on the comprehensive situation of China and Japan like they did today. In the face of a large amount of supporting evidence, they felt that their hunch was correct and well-founded. Going to Sichuan now would not only save their family's property and lives, but also create a new business world.
Zhou Xiaoshan even predicted that once the full-scale war of resistance broke out and the country was lost, it would be an opportunity for the Chinese nation to rebound, just like when the Red Army and the Central Army entered Sichuan, the war of the Sichuan warlords immediately disappeared.
The Japanese underestimated China, underestimated the thousands of years of civilization inherited by the Chinese people, underestimated this land that rose through many hardships, and even more so the unyielding endurance of the Chinese people.
No matter whether it was Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, Liu Xiang, Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, Chen Qian, Long Yun, Feng Yuxiang, these warlords who had fought to the point where the people were living in misery, or even the Red Army, various princes, and the National Government that had no way to retreat, they would definitely join hands and, at the moment of national crisis, use their blood and lives to compose an unyielding tragic song of the Chinese nation, establish a unified China for the Chinese people, and lay the foundation for the rise of the Chinese people in the world.
The 66th Division of the Sichuan Army is looking forward to this moment and preparing for it all the time.
Commander Feng and I have made up our minds to sacrifice our lives for the country. Even if it means giving up everything we have, even if it means shedding our last drop of blood, we must do what a Chinese should do for the survival of the nation.
This lunch lasted from noon to four in the afternoon.
Duan Yongheng and Zhang Jixian had both questioned his ideas, but they were all convinced by his detailed evidence.
Originally, the two planned to send someone to Sichuan with Zhou Xiaoshan. Now Duan Yongheng and Zhang Jixian have already made it clear at the dinner table that when Zhou Xiaoshan returns to Sichuan, they will definitely deal with his assets and accompany him all the way.
Zhou Xiaoshan is about to say goodbye and go to Peking.
A few people who were reluctant to let him go drank at the table and held his fists tightly, insisting that he come back from Shandong and Beijing to go with them.
Chen Hong even hoped that Zhou Xiaoshan would come to Yongli Soda Factory when he returned to Tianjin again.
"Manager Chen, you are welcome to visit Yongzhou at any time. Even if you are penniless, I can give you full management of my glass factory. As for Mr. Duan Xudong and Yongli Alkali Factory, it is time for us to meet. I still say that our Marshal cannot wake up a person who pretends to be asleep."
The implication is very simple. I have visited you three times at my cottage, but you are more arrogant than Zhuge Liang. I won't serve you anymore.
Anyway, whether it is Yongli or Jiuda, it has nothing to do with the Sichuan Army.
You are trying to help me without any hesitation. Do you really think the Sichuan Army is after your money?
Chen Hong was speechless. He decided to personally send Zhou Xiaoshan to their base, and then immediately send a telegram to Mr. Fan.
With Chang Desheng beside him, Zheng Chunhua felt like he was attending a big lesson.
Looking at Zhou Xiaoshan's drunken figure, he suddenly looked taller .
Zhou Xiaoshan was really drunk and fell asleep as soon as he got on the truck.
Chen Hong and his companions drove a small car all the way to the special forces camp outside the city. They found that the special forces camp had done no harm to the local villagers and even gave them money to find a place to set up camp. They were amazed.
When Zheng Chunhua and Qin Lie returned to the village, they received a telegram from Commander Feng, asking them to report the results of their visit to the Yongli Soda Factory.
Zheng Chunhua honestly wrote a long telegram about what he saw and heard today and what he had done in the past few days when he went to the foreign company to inquire about prices, and asked Qin Lie to send it.
The Yongzhou Defense Zone Command is very busy today.
The two newly formed brigade commanders, as well as the person in charge of recruiting new soldiers at the rear office, all selected a new batch of top soldiers according to Feng Tiankui's instructions.
Several brigade commanders and chief of staff including Qin Guoliang personally brought the King of Soldiers back.
Gunshots rang out at Qingcaoba, and roars shook the sky at the guard camp.
The Training Department is conducting a review.
The quality of Liu Chenghuo's soldiers was somewhat lower than that of the original 66th Division. According to Zhou Xiaoshan's original standards, the 66th Division had a brigade of about 8,000 people, and could select a reinforced company of 180 people, while Liu Chenghuo's soldiers only had 120 people.
