super god warlord

Zhao Shouhong nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. Bakerbu, I think you haven't been back to Sa'er Kingdom for many years."

"How can you see this?" Bucky asked curiously.

Zhao Shouhong smiled slightly: "As far as I know, the monthly salary of each worker in the Saar Empire should be around ten Saar pounds, which is [-] Hua yuan when converted into Chinese yuan. Oh, I'm sorry I forgot, recently Saar pounds The exchange rate has plummeted, and it can only be equivalent to [-] Chinese yuan. And the wages stipulated in the Western Special Zone, each worker’s monthly salary is only equivalent to [-] Chinese yuan, which is much lower than that of the Saar Empire. A company like Hualan Kingdom has no profits, so can I think that the Saar Empire does not have any industrial existence?"

"This..." Bakbu was at a loss for words. He didn't know why this lord was so clear about the national conditions of the Saar Empire, even the wages of workers and the exchange rate.But they traveled thousands of miles to the Eastern Continent to build companies for cheap labor. If such advantages were gone, why would they stay here.

Of course, Bakerbu won't say that, because that's tantamount to saying that we came here to exploit you Hualan people, which is tantamount to provoking the other party's anger.Especially with tens of thousands of angry workers and soldiers with live ammunition outside, such words are tantamount to courting death.

"I think it's good. We Sal merchants traveled across the ocean to Hualan country just to do business." Edward quickly smoothed things over and said, "Commander Zhao also needs to understand our difficulties, and we will cooperate with you How about increasing the wages to one Chinese yuan a day, shortening the working hours to twelve hours first, and gradually transitioning to eight hours."

Chapter 922 The Civilian Chief

Zhao Shouhong gave Edward a cold look and said, "The law does not tolerate bargaining. If you intend to use this to disrupt the laws of the SAR, I will let the prosecutor prosecute you and let the court arrest you for contempt of the law and go to jail."

When Zhao Shouhong said the last sentence, the general managers of several other companies had already arrived. Although there were people from Gaul and Rome, they all followed suit.Now that they heard Zhao Shouhong's decisive words, their expressions were quite ugly.

Bakbu obviously has a hot temper. Hearing Zhao Shouhong's loud words, he threatened: "If the leader insists on this, we businessmen will have no profit. In this way, we can only leave Hong Kong and seek development elsewhere."

Bakb obviously thought that the departure of these businessmen would greatly disrupt the local economy.Even if it is for Hong Kong's business to continue to prosper, Zhao Shouhong will compromise.What he didn't expect was that Zhao Shouhong replied decisively: "Since you are not capable enough to make a profit under such a situation, you can't blame others. You leave as soon as possible to avoid any unpleasant things in the future."

Zhao Shouhong had already talked about this, and Buckbu couldn't hold back anymore. He said angrily: "In this case, we Nisong Shipping Company will quit, and we will move out tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he said angrily left.

Zhao Shouhong didn't care about Bakbu's departure at all. He glanced at the many foreign businessmen present and said: "If anyone wants to leave, he should report to the government within three days. If he still hasn't left after three days, he must follow The laws of the Western District are handled. Since Nissun Shipping Company voluntarily moved away, the business license will be revoked. If they continue to operate, I will arrest people for tax evasion. If anyone violates the law in the future, I will not negotiate. The police station will directly arrest people and punish them according to the provisions of the law. Let me tell you in advance that the punishment for violations of the labor law is very severe. Absconding is punishable by death."

After speaking, he turned his head to Su Zhaozheng and others and said in Hualan, "Let's go." After speaking, he left without looking back.

Just when Zhao Shouhong started negotiating with Edward just now, Su Zhaozheng secretly begged Zhou Pingtong to translate for him to see what they were talking about.The members of the Internal Guard Brigade often need to contact foreigners because they want to protect the dignitaries. In addition to Saar, Gaul and Teutonic each of them must know, they also know one or two foreign languages.It was only after Su Zhaozheng begged that all the guards could speak Saar, and Zhou Pingtong just randomly assigned someone to act as an interpreter for them, so that they could understand the content of the conversation.

Hearing that Zhao Shouhong was always fighting for the benefits of the workers, Su Zhaozheng couldn't help being moved. He was secretly thinking, if the people are under the governance of such a good official, what is the goal of the Hualan Communist Party? Is it still necessary.

Obviously, the direction of the Hualan Communist Party is beyond the control of the person in charge of his region, but at least he already has a good impression of Zhao Shouhong.When Zhao Shouhong said those words loudly and then led the crowd away, the workers already had something called pride in their hearts.

Once upon a time, when they saw that the Saar people were humble, they were afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied.If the Saar people are not happy, they will be kicked lightly or whipped severely, without saying that they should be regarded as human beings.But now, Zhao Shouhong forced those Saar people to be obedient and dare not resist at all, and their understanding of this anti-foreign hero has been further deepened because of this.

When the workers learned of the outcome of the negotiation, some were happy while others were sad.Most of those who were happy were from other companies. The daily salary of two Chinese yuan and the treatment of working eight hours a day made him ecstatic.This is simply a hundred times better than the best ending everyone imagined.Most of the people who were worried were Nisson Marine people, and they were worried about losing their jobs.

Zhao Shouhong naturally understood what those people were bothering. He stood in front of the workers' team and said loudly: "Everyone listen to me." His shout made the noisy team quiet, and everyone looked at Zhao Shouhong quietly. , I don't know what he's going to say.

Looking at the thin faces of the workers, Zhao Shouhong said: "I am here to announce that the Lushi Shipping Logistics Company under the Guangming Group will enter Hong Kong. Accept them all. Starting tomorrow, the government will have a special person responsible for the registration. As long as you register, you will be employees of the Bright Group Company. Even if the company has not yet opened in Hong Kong, you can still get a salary."

"Long live the Chief Commander." The workers immediately cheered. This relieved Zhao Shouhong of all their worries, and this time they were really relieved.In fact, Zhao Shouhong's words were also for foreign businessmen.They have lived in Hualan for a long time, so there must be someone who can understand Hualan.

Now that Hong Kong has become the port of the Western Special Administrative Region, it will gradually prosper in accordance with the demand for a large amount of goods shipped out of the Special Administrative Region.It doesn't matter if foreign businessmen give up this business opportunity, the Western Special Zone has enough power to fill this gap, which makes foreign businessmen lose their coercive effect on Zhao Shouhong on the issue of whether to stay or stay.They can naturally figure out how to operate in the future.

This time he joined the workers' parade and personally negotiated with foreign businessmen, which made Zhao Shouhong's reputation rise again.To be able to condescend to go to the workers to ask for their health and help them fight against foreign businessmen, this kind of courage is not something ordinary people can do.The hearts of the people in Hong Kong were quickly appeased. After hearing such anecdotes, people from all over the country affectionately called Zhao Shouhong "the general leader of the common people".

Zhao Shouhong's growing prestige in Hong Kong made Sun Wenhai, who was nearby, feel more pressure. He accelerated the cooperation negotiations with the Hongluo Guobu Party.Originally, according to Bunin's idea, while cooperating with the Congress Party, the Communist Party could also be allowed to join in.After all, the Communist Party is the party with the same goal as itself, and it is easier to control.It's a pity that Sun Wenhai is not stupid. After several negotiations, Sun Wenhai only allowed Communist Party members to join the National Congress Party and accept his leadership, while categorically rejecting cooperation outside the party.

Seeing that the domestic situation in Hualan was becoming more and more tense, in order to cause enough troubles for the Western Special Zone, Bunin finally had to give in.After the negotiation, the two sides reached a wide range of cooperation intentions, and a large number of Communist Party members began to join the National Congress Party to participate in the expansion of the Eastern Guangdong Army.

Chapter 923 Feng Yuxiang's Decision

The Red Luo State sent a large number of military advisers to participate in the training of the Whampoa Military Academy and the Eastern Guangdong Army. A batch of Morganasin rifles and Maxim machine guns produced in the Red Luo State began to travel across the ocean and were transported to the territory of Eastern Guangdong Province.Just when Sun Wenhai was preparing his troops for a big fight, a great war broke out in the north first.

Since the war between the three factions, Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin have seized the territory that originally belonged to the Anhui faction.At that time, the Feng Clan was weak and could not compete with the Zhi Clan at all, but Zhang Zuolin took advantage of the pressure from the Western Special Zone to cleverly acquire Qilu Province.

Although this negotiation gave Zhang Zuolin an edge, it planted a nail in Cao Kun's heart.Later, when the two sides were in control of the territory, they kept making small moves, and even a few small-scale conflicts broke out between the armies of the two sides, but they were suppressed by the high-level officials of both sides.

In such a situation where the two sides seem to be at odds with each other, the intensification of the conflict is inevitable, and the focus of their contention is the national power in Beihua City.Obtaining the rights to Beihua City will be able to justifiably direct warlords from all walks of life across the country, and any action they want to take is also in the name of righteousness.In addition, the wealth of Beihua City and Tianfeng City is incomparable to other places. Therefore, both the Zhifeng and Fenggong factions hope to seize control of these places in order to expand their sources of financial resources.

Zhang Zuolin's political skills were even more sophisticated. He tried his best to win over Liang Shiyi, the leader of the transportation department who had re-emerged on the political stage, and elected him as the prime minister of the cabinet.Liang Shiyi also reciprocated. After assuming the position of prime minister, he first pardoned six important political figures of the Anhui clique, and then openly favored the Feng clique on the issue of military expenditures.

When Liang Shiyi came to power, he had promised to give the immediate family a lot of convenience, but when he became the prime minister of the cabinet, he became ruthless. How could Cao Kun swallow this anger.He was not a man to be trifled with. After Liang Shiyi openly turned to the Feng faction, he immediately contacted the direct governors of various provinces, and jointly sent telegrams to expose Liang Shiyi's shameful behavior of flattering the Japanese and traitorous countries, forcing him to step down.

In the Hualan Kingdom of this era, betraying the country is a serious crime, and it is also the most likely to arouse the indignation of the people.As a result, it was revealed that Liang Shiyi wanted to win the support of the Wa country, and obtained aid with part of the sovereignty of the Hualan country.Once this incident was disclosed in detail in major newspapers, Liang Shiyi was immediately condemned by the people all over the country. As a result, Liang Shiyi, who had only formed a cabinet for one month, was forced to announce his resignation.

Seeing that Cao Kun drove Liang Shiyi out of power and appointed Ma Zhanyuan, a direct general, as prime minister, Zhang Zuolin knew that his foundation in Beihua City was too shallow.Even if he got in touch with some old people from the Anhui Clan, if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in Beihua City, he had to defeat the Zhi Clan, so he had the idea of ​​driving Cao Kun out by force.Zhang Zuolin had already heard the news that the Zhili troops were preparing to attack the Fengli, so he decided to act first, and caught the Zhili by surprise.

On April 4, about 10 people from four divisions and nine independent brigades of the Fengjun entered the customs one after another, and stationed at the front lines of Changxindian and Machang controlled by the Fengtian.At the same time, Zhang Zuolin sent a secret telegram to control Qilu's Fengjun generals Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu to gather troops and prepare to give Cao Kun a fatal blow from behind.

The mobilization of 12 people cannot be concealed from anyone. Cao Kun soon got the news, and he quickly mobilized the army to fight.Due to the late preparation time, it was impossible for Cao Kun to mobilize too many troops. In a hurry, the Zhijun could only mobilize [-] troops from seven divisions in Zhili and nearby provinces to fight.

Of course, Cao Kun would not forget Qilu Province behind him, which was a big nail in the hinterland of the Feng Faction. Therefore, he sent a telegram to Sun Chuanfang, the governor of Jiangbei Province, to send troops to attack Qilu Province.

Two years after the Zhiwanfeng War, the Zhifeng War broke out again.Facing the active attack of the Feng Faction army with local superior forces, Cao Kun led many trusted generals and led an [-] army to meet them in person. The two sides fought fiercely on the front lines of Changxindian, Liulihe, Gu'an, and Machang.

At the same time, Feng Yuxiang, the 30-year-old commander of the No.11 division, built a solid defensive position in Huanghua with his headquarters and the pistol brigade that Cao Kun strengthened for him.Facing the main force of the 12 Feng army, the direct army with a strength of only 8 took a defensive position. Fortunately, under the command of famous generals such as Tanaka Yu and Xiao Yaonan, the defense was still quite stable.There is not much difference in the strength of the two sides, and it is not too difficult for the Zhijun to defend, but this is not the case on the other road.

Feng Yuxiang, who had only [-] troops in his hands, was recognized as a strong general in the Zhijun army, but he also seemed powerless in the face of the attack of the [-] Qilu coalition forces.Both Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu were famous fierce generals, and they fought fiercely. Feng Yuxiang could only deploy his defensive forces carefully, trying not to leave any loopholes for the opponent to exploit.Li Mingzhong, Liu Yufen, and Ji Hongchang each controlled a brigade and desperately resisted the offensive of the Qilu coalition forces. The two sides repeatedly competed for positions, and the scene was quite tragic.

At this time, Feng Yuxiang was sitting in the headquarters less than five kilometers away from the front line, frowning and looking at a telegram on the table.The telegram was sent to him by Admiral Xu Haiqing, the commander of the Eastern Military Region of the West Special Army. In the letter, he claimed that the country was still divided, but the civil war was getting worse every year, and the people were already in dire straits.If Feng Yuxiang is willing to cooperate with the West Special Army and take this opportunity to wipe out the Zhili and Fengli troops in one fell swoop, the country will be unified and the people will no longer suffer.

Thinking about the strength of the Western Special Zone, Feng Yuxiang was very moved. He knew that if Zhao Shouhong could win the national championship, he would definitely be a good leader.He is also very clear that the reason why the Western Special Zone has never been triggered and has not launched a civil war to unify the country is because of the covetous eyes of the big powers.

If the Western Special Administrative Region launched a civil war without any excuse, the big powers would have an excuse to intervene. They would even send troops into Hualan Kingdom in the name of helping the central government suppress the rebellion.Feng Yuxiang, who has an overall strategic vision, knows very well that the wealth of the Western Special Zone is coveted by all countries, and its strength is also feared by all countries. Once there is such an opportunity, all countries will intervene in the Hualan Civil War at any cost. At that time, once the Western Special Zone After being defeated in the war, Hualan Kingdom, which had just gotten rid of the humiliating treaties and concessions of various countries, would be doomed once again.

The current situation is indeed another matter. A war is breaking out in the country, and no one can become orthodox and control the central government.If the Western Special Administrative Region sends troops to the whole country in the name of quelling the civil war, the great powers will find no reason to send troops other than protest.Especially when someone responds internally and can sweep the whole country in a short period of time, countries don't even have time to react.When Zhao Shouhong took control of the whole country, many great powers could only hold their noses and recognize him.

Chapter 924 The Death Squad's Premeditated Plan

Today, Feng Yuxiang is making a difficult choice, to seek fame in the Western Special Zone, and to achieve a de facto unification of Hualan Kingdom. This seems to be for the sake of the overall situation.But what he learned from a private school since childhood, the gratitude to Cao Kun for his kindness made him unable to do betrayal.

"Hey, let me fulfill the name of loyalty." Feng Yuxiang sighed and finally made a decision.In any case, under such difficult circumstances, he did not want to betray his old superior.He drafted the telegram himself, and asked the confidential director of his confidant, "Send this telegram yourself, remember to use the password they provided, and don't let anyone know about it."

"Yes." The Director of Confidentiality knew that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately walked out with the message.Just when Feng Yuxiang felt that a heavy burden had been lifted, a messenger rushed in hastily.As soon as they saw Feng Yuxiang, the messenger stood at attention and saluted, "Reporting to the commander, our Brigadier Li Mingzhong asked me to come and report that the position is almost overwhelmed. If we don't send reinforcements, it will be difficult for us to support for another two hours."

"What?" Feng Yuxiang's face changed. He knew what kind of person Li Mingzhong was. If it wasn't at the last moment, he would never ask for reinforcements.According to this, the left-wing position garrisoned by the first brigade is about to be lost.

It's no wonder that the left wing line of defense allocated to Li Mingzhong was originally judged to be the opponent's secondary attack direction, but Zhang Zongchang personally commanded an army to attack there.Because of a misjudgment, most of the heavy weapons were concentrated in Ji Hongchang's department in the middle. Although Ji Hongchang, who quickly reacted, dispatched a batch of machine guns to the left flank, Li Mingzhong's soldiers had already lost hundreds of people in a short period of time.

To be able to stick to it for two days under such unfavorable circumstances, Li Mingzhong had done his best.But now the entire line of defense has been attacked, Ji Hongchang and Liu Yufen's troops are also very tense, and at this time Feng Yuxiang has only one pistol brigade left in his hands.

Looking at the sky outside, Feng Yuxiang said: "Go and find Yang Zhongxiang." Soon the commander of the pistol brigade, Yang Zhongxiang, came over. This strong general under Feng Yuxiang was always regarded as a reserve team, and he was already impatient with his idle time. Therefore, as soon as the order came, he trotted all the way to the command post.

"What is the teacher looking for? Can the pistol brigade go up?" Yang Zhongxiang asked excitedly. This general of the Northwest Army, who was one of the protagonists in the variant of the Chang'an Incident in later generations, is only 28 years old now, but he is not afraid of that. The drive to die is innate.

Feng Yuxiang nodded and said: "Yeah, Li Mingzhong is about to be overwhelmed. Now there is at most an hour before dark, and I believe that the Qilu coalition forces will not be able to attack there today. However, if Zhang Zongchang launches another attack tomorrow, Li Mingzhong is probably the top one." Can't stop, so I want you to choose some elite soldiers from the pistol brigade to form a death squad, and give him a hard blow at night."

"No problem, I promise to complete the task." Yang Zhongxiang immediately guaranteed the ticket.

"Very well, go get ready, don't turn Zhang Zongchang's place upside down at night, and don't come back to see me." Feng Yuxiang was very satisfied with his general, and immediately nodded with a smile.

"I promise to complete the task." Yang Zhongxiang saluted and left the command room quickly.Feng Yuxiang looked at Yang Zhongxiang who was going out and sighed: "This is my last hope. If I can't succeed tonight, I have to retreat." Feng Yuxiang knew very well that if the [-]th Division retreated, the Zhijun would There is no danger to defend.Cao Kun also fought hard in the north, and he was unable to call in reinforcements at all. Once he withdrew from Huanghua, he probably would have to retreat all the way to Baoding.

As the sky gradually darkened, Li Mingzhong, whose head was wrapped in gauze, heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that he had finally passed today.Although there are less than [-] of the five thousand sons under his command, at least he can rest tonight.At this moment, a black shadow flickered behind, and a large group of soldiers suddenly entered the position.Li Mingzhong only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a vigorous figure appeared beside him.

"Yang Zhongxiang, your kid is finally here." Seeing the face of the person who came, Li Mingzhong smiled.With these elite reinforcements, he will be able to hold on for a while longer.
