Respectfully

At night, the hustle and bustle of the day receded, and Guanbei City returned to tranquility.

After the lively wedding, no one noticed that some familiar or unfamiliar faces were missing in the city.Only Atsushi Nishida, director of the intelligence department under the Kanto Governor's Mansion of the South-Manchuria Railway, stayed up all night and stayed by the radio station.All intelligence personnel suddenly lost contact, and only Guan Beicheng, which is really unusual!

Although anxious, Nishida did not immediately report to his superiors. He still had a little luck that there might be news coming soon, but he was disappointed one after another.Xi Tian had to start thinking about the worst-case scenario. If the intelligence personnel in the entire Guanbei had an accident, and he didn't notice it beforehand, then what awaited him would never be a good end!To be able to climb to his current position, Nishida has put in more effort than anyone else, and Atsushi Nishida will never be reconciled to losing everything like this!

Just as Nishida was spinning like a spinning top, the captured Japanese spy and traitor had been brought into the torture room respectively.

It is not difficult for traitors to pry their mouths. Since they can be bribed by the Japanese, they will never be some strong-willed people. It is easy for them to speak.Xiao Youde didn't even need to bother to lure them with money and power, he only needed to put them in the torture room, and when they saw the dazzling array of torture instruments hanging on the wall and on the ground, these people would spit out everything they knew, some With a stubborn mouth, he whipped a few times, and immediately became honest.

It's a pity that such guys are only active on the periphery, and they are destined not to know things that are too confidential, and the things that can be taken out of their mouths are not of great value.

As for the Japanese spies, it was much more difficult to get them to speak.

As long as Xiao Youde is given enough time, he is confident that they will all be subdued, but unfortunately the time left for him is not much, maybe the Japanese will get the news at dawn, he must let these Japanese spies open their mouths before then!Without much nonsense, he directly ordered his subordinates to be executed.

"beat!"

The Japanese spies were confused by Xiao Youde, they didn't attack their hearts, and didn't use money and power to seduce them?Didn't even ask a word, just got whipped?This is completely different from the training they have received!

If Xiao Youde followed the rules, they could find a way to delay the time, and when the headquarters got the news, they would definitely send someone to rescue them.It's a pity that Xiao Youde never planned to give them this chance from the beginning.

"Puff hard, don't smoke to death, I still have something to ask."

"Well, look at it!"

A fierce-looking middle-aged man stripped off his arms, grabbed a tendon whip directly, and swung it in the air after getting wet. Even if it didn't fall on him immediately, it was enough to make the Japanese who were hung up frightened.

"Did you see? This whip-wielding technique is not just for bragging. He has been doing this since his ancestors. With a few whips, he will probably make you want to die." Xiao Youde said with a smile: "If you want to say , just speak quickly. My patience is limited today, and I don’t have much time to play with you.”

When the words fell, he signaled the big man to do it.

The big man gave a bad mouthful, his ancestors did indeed throw whips, not on people, but on animals!Before Gengzi, his family had one of the best car and horse dealerships in Zhili, but in the Gengzi year, there was a riot of boxers. These foreign devils came, robbed and murdered, raped and plundered, and did everything!Pity his father, mother, and daughter-in-law with a baby, all gone!These Japanese devils are especially not things!

Thinking of this, the big man's eyes turned red, he gasped heavily, raised his arms high, and swung them vigorously!

Immediately afterwards, a miserable cry came from the torture room.The cells where the other Japanese spies were held were not far away. This inhuman scream made them tremble at the same time.Rao has received professional training, they are also human beings, they will feel pain and fear if they are human beings!

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the blood gourd-like Japanese spy was dragged out of the torture room, lying on the ground like a dead dog, his hands and feet twitched occasionally, proving that he was still alive.Just when the other Japanese thought he would be locked in a cell again, a guard in military uniform pulled the bolt of his gun, and with a bang, he was killed.

"Did you see it?" Xiao Youde came out of the torture room, with his hands behind his back, and kicked the corpse on the ground with his toes, "Don't think that you will be saved if you delay. I can kill people."

When the guard opened the door of another cell to drag the man out, the man immediately shouted, "I'm Japanese! You can't do this to me!"

"Japanese?" Xiao Youde picked out his ears and blew on his fingertips, "Aren't you the shopkeeper of Wangfa Pawnshop, your surname is Jin? When did you become Japanese? Do you know?"

The guard shook his head together with the big man who came out with a whip.

Xiao Youde waved his hand, "Look at it?" After speaking, he put away the smile on his face and said coldly: "Bring it out!"

"Yes!"

While Xiao Youde tried every means to pry the mouths of these Japanese spies, Kawaguchi Reiichi enjoyed a higher level of treatment.He was kept in Kawaguchi Koko's cell without any harm except for the butt of the gun that was smashed before.

Looking at her younger sister with dull eyes, no different from a fool, Rei Kawaguchi clenched her fists, her face extremely ugly.

The door of the cell opened, and Lou Xiao in uniform stepped in. Behind him, Qiao Leshan in a suit and leather shoes, carrying a square box, and several tall soldiers.

Seeing Reiichi Kawaguchi standing in front of him, Qiao Leshan smiled friendlyly, Reiichi Kawaguchi's pupils shrank suddenly, this man...

"Before dawn, let him speak." Young Marshal Lou said coldly, "Life or death is up to you."

Hearing what Marshal Lou said, Qiao Leshan turned his head and moved his fingers, "Really?"

"really."

"very good."

Qiao Leshan turned to Reiichi Kawaguchi and said, "Mr. Kawaguchi, can you understand English?"

In fact, Kawaguchi Reiichi not only understands English, he also understands the German that Marshal Lou and Qiao Leshan spoke just now.

"It seems that you can understand." Qiao Leshan said, put the box on the ground, opened the lid, put on gloves, and took out a bottle of transparent reagent and syringe, "Although I don't want to say that, but very Sorry, husband of my boss... I hope I can get something useful from your mouth."

While speaking, he stood up and shook the reagent in his hand, "I am a chemist and I like to do some experiments. Ms. Kawaguchi Koko was fortunate to be my experimental subject before, but unfortunately her reaction disappointed me. I hope you will agree. Be strong-willed."

Before Kawaguchi Reiichi could react, the soldier standing beside him rushed forward like a wolf, and tied Kawaguchi Reiichi up with a rope.When Kawaguchi was trying to struggle, he punched him in the abdomen so hard that Kawaguchi's eyes turned black, he coughed a few times, and curled up on the ground like a shrimp.

"I'll give you a drug injection." Qiao Leshan approached, squatted down, and smiled kindly at Kawaguchi who was lying on the ground, "I'm looking forward to your reaction."

"Qiao Leshan."

"I know, I know." Qiao Leshan turned his head and glanced at Young Marshal Lou, "Stop talking nonsense, I promise."

Kawaguchi looked at the people in front of him, and then at his younger sister who was shivering in the corner, trembling every time he saw Qiao Leshan. For the first time in his life, he felt scared.

Devil, these people are devils!

At this moment, in the mansion, Li Jinyan was looking at Jiang Yulin in surprise, looking at him until his old face became hot.

"Minister Jiang, if I heard correctly, are you saying that you want to borrow money from me?"

Jiang Yulin didn't speak, just nodded.Maybe he didn't know what to say.

Li Jinyan was even more surprised, "Why did you come to borrow from me? Shouldn't you go to the commander or the Minister of Exhibition?" He is not a bank, what kind of money did he borrow?Could it be that last time he gave the arms and gave in to the quilt factory, and even asked for the cost price of the soap, this guy took him for a fool?Or soft persimmon?

Seeing Li Jinyan's unkind expression, Jiang Yulin hurriedly explained: "Master Yan, if I hadn't really had no choice, I wouldn't have said this, it's really... Sigh!"

Sighing, Jiang Yulin told Li Jinyan the whole matter, and he made several trips to the Ministry of Finance during this period, but Zhan Changqing didn't let go.He also thought about all the other ways he could think of. He even went to the ammunition factory, which was no different from a workshop. Du Weiyan was willing to help, but the caliber of the bullets produced was really not the right one. What could he do?

"I really can't help it." Jiang Yulin's face turned bitter, "Master Yan, I heard that you have a good relationship with the American foreign company, so I said this boldly."

Li Jinyan suddenly realized that it was not just as simple as borrowing money, but also thinking about asking him to help buy bullets?

If he didn't have some friendship with Jiang Yulin, he really wanted to slap this guy in the face, and really think he was taken advantage of? !Borrowing money always requires an IOU, how does the Bullet issue an IOU?It must be the meat bun beating the dog, and it will never come back!Even if Jiang Yulin really gave him back the bullet, why would he come?rebel?

Li Jinyan remained silent with a sullen face, while Jiang Yulin felt as if he had more than a dozen buckets hanging in his heart, fluttering up and down.If it weren't for the fact that the young master and the great master couldn't get through, he wouldn't have to bite the bullet and come to find Master Yan by himself. He was really forced to have no choice.

"Master Yan, please help me!"

help?Putting it lightly.Li Jinyan knocked on the table, rolled his eyes, and said, "Minister Jiang, it's not impossible for me to help."

"Master Yan, I..."

"Don't rush to thank you, and don't say that you have nothing to repay. I don't take this. If I want to get you bullets, I have to exchange them with things!"

Jiang Yulin smiled wryly, "Master Yan, don't be joking, if I have something that can be exchanged for real money, I won't be so cheeky as to beg you."

"Why not?" Li Jinyan said with a smile: "Military orders, can you change them?"

"Military supplies? But..."

"I don't just mean the troops of the six northern provinces." Li Jinyan motioned Jiang Yulin to come closer, leaned into his ear, and whispered a few words.

Jiang Yulin was shocked at first, then puzzled, worried, and then only happy.

"How? I have a good idea, right?" Li Jinyan said with a smile: "I know Minister Jiang must have connections. If this matter can be done, what's the problem with getting some bullets?"

Jiang Yulin nodded again and again, if this thing can really happen, the money to buy bullets is really not a problem!

"However, Young Master Yan, although I have connections, I can't quench my thirst from afar. Please help me with the bullet issue first?"

Li Jinyan couldn't help curling his lips, this old boy is a bastard, he won't let go of his mouth!

In the end, Li Jinyan agreed to help.The fight in the country is lively. If the Lou family wants to go further, the six northern provinces will send troops sooner or later. You can't just watch the soldiers carry empty guns and no bullets, can you?

"As long as Young Master Yan is willing to help, things will definitely be done!"

Jiang Yulin left contentedly, feeling a little shaky when walking.Although the things Li Jinyan entrusted to him were not easy to handle, they would definitely make a lot of money if they were done, and those who don't work hard are fools!

After eating something and washing up, Li Jinyan lay on the bed and began to think about whether John would take this business. Logically speaking, no businessman would not be interested in making money, but this is an arms business, and the previous mechanical And cosmetics are different.After all, the Boxer Treaty is still there.

From whom did Master Li Er get such a large batch of arms?It's not that Li Jinyan never thought about investigating, but what if he finds out?He doesn't have that much money on hand.Moreover, relying on imports of weapons and ammunition is not a long-term solution. In the end, it is necessary to be able to produce it by itself, otherwise it will be stuck in the neck all the time.I can't breathe evenly.

Li Jinyan turned around. Now he can only accumulate a lot of funds through the development of light industry, and it is not practical to rashly intervene in heavy industry.

Soap factories, bedding factories and Jiahua factories are all developing steadily, and it will not be a problem to make a lot of money by the end of the year.The farm is gradually getting on the right track. Li Jinyan never dreamed that those veterans and Lao Maozi are all good at farming and breeding.Not to mention Brother Bing, those old men can even do the work of two people alone. They go to the fields to farm, feed pigs and chickens, and they do their jobs quite neatly.

The main purpose of raising pigs on a farm is to provide raw materials for soap factories, but apart from fat, other parts should not be wasted.Maybe he should start a cannery?

Thinking of the little fat pig wearing a military cap during World War II, Li Jinyan was amused.

Luncheon meat, the raw materials and production process are very simple, the tinplate needs to be imported, at worst it needs to be replaced with ceramics or glass.Now the ironmaking industry in Northeast China has also developed to a certain scale. The No. [-] blast furnace of Benxi Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. has a daily output of more than [-] tons. Although there are Japanese forces involved in it, Li Jinyan believes that as long as the time comes, sooner or later these Get rid of all the scorpions!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, Li Jinyan couldn't fall asleep.He just sat up and leaned against the bedside to think about it. Doing business with American foreign firms is not enough. British foreign firms and German foreign firms can also get in touch with each other. Before that, Marshal Lou often bought things with the British, and Li Jinyan focused on doing business with Americans. John Bull was already a little dissatisfied. As for Germany, Li Jinyan frowned. He had never dealt with Germans.

When you think of the Germans, you think of World War I. Naturally, you think of the terrible inflation in Germany after World War I.

Now one pound is equal to two gold marks or twenty marks. After World War I... Sorry, Li Jinyan really can't figure it out.According to the words of a German at that time, if you have to go to the bakery after receiving your salary, the banknotes in your hands will become even more worthless the next moment.

Anyway, these foreigners have cut flesh from Huaxia, should we take the opportunity to cheat them?Li Jinyan began to take a bad breath.

However, what should he say, he can't directly say to Young Marshal Lou: "Young Marshal, go get a loan from a German bank. It's best to specify in the contract that the ten-year period must be repaid in marks. Loans of hundreds or thousands Wan, at that time, giving them a few hundred loaves of bread is almost enough to pay off the debt."

Just thinking about the situation of using bread to pay off the debt, Li Jinyan couldn't help laughing.

When Lou Xiao walked into the room, what he saw was this scene. Li Jinyan leaned against the head of the bed, propped his chin with one hand, and kept giggling.
