Chapter 61 The barracks begin
Yusuke Kono signed it, pressed his own handprint, and this so-called agreement was officially effective. Of course, in order to make the agreement more formal and legally binding, Ren Laifeng copied another copy as it was, and the two people also signed and pressed their fingerprints. Ren Laifeng put one and Yusuke Kono put one away, and since then, the Chinese and Japanese armies in Qinggang County have officially formed a friendly army.
With this agreement, everything was easy to do, and Ren Laifeng asked Wei Junshan to receive 2,000 sets of new military uniforms and put all the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion into the uniforms of the Anguo Army. Then the construction began on the piece of land he favored outside the city.
In order to cooperate with Ren Laifeng, Kono gave an order to the Japanese troops in the city: the construction site outside the southeast city is a military restricted area, and all Japanese officers and soldiers are forbidden to approach! Kono's order, the Japanese army in Qinggang Prefecture complied awe-inspiringly, not to mention going to inspect and patrol, and from then on, even if there was something to do out of the city, the devil would rather take a long detour than take the southeast gate.
Since the introduction of this rule, the Chinese people in the city have a place to go, and as long as they are not in a fatal emergency, they will go out of the city in the southeast direction. There are no Japanese soldiers in the southeast, and the puppet army in the southeast does not make things difficult.
In the Northeast during the puppet Manchurian period, how difficult was it to find a place without devils in which county? There are no Japanese in the southeast of Qinggang County! This alone is enough to attract too many ordinary people to this side. After a long time, the southeast of Qinggang County has become more and more prosperous, and it has slowly become a gathering area for people in the county and even several nearby counties, and the economic and cultural center!
During Ren Laifeng's stay in Qinggang County, the housing prices in the southeast of Qinggang County were more than two or three times higher than those in other areas of the same county, which Ren Laifeng did not expect.
His two-entry courtyard was southeast of the city, and when he bought it, he spent 600 silver dollars, and after two years, someone assessed that the value of this courtyard should be 20,000 yuan. If you really want to sell it, you can definitely sell it for 30,000 yuan!
How can Ren Laifeng guess how much housing prices will rise in a few years, he is now busy building a military camp.
With Yusuke Kono's order, the barracks outside the southeast city had officially started the next day. Although Ren Laifeng doesn't have to go to the bricks and mud himself, he can look at it and give guidance to the puppet army who are doing the work, the barracks should be repaired here, and the stables should be built there, so as to save them from building unsatisfactory, and they have to rework after they have built it.
That's right, the people who worked on the construction site were the puppet army, that is, the officers and soldiers of the second battalion of the Anguo Army in Qinggang County. The puppet soldiers have nothing to do when they are full, they are either gambling or causing trouble, and they call these idlers to work on the construction site, so they don't have to recruit people anymore. In this way, it not only saves wages, but also avoids disturbing the people, and at the same time allows these people to exercise their physique, which is a good thing to kill three birds with one stone.
Wei Junshan personally supervised the work on the construction site, and the puppet soldiers naturally worked hard, and the project was moving forward at a speed visible to the naked eye. Two months later, a huge military camp was already taking shape.
Due to Ren Laifeng's relatively high requirements, this military camp looks like another satellite city has been built next to Qinggang County. There are also city walls and city gates, if it weren't for the fact that the nearby terrain is too high and difficult to divert water, no matter the wind almost makes a moat. Originally, the construction was scheduled to take half a year, but now it seems that in four to five months at most, this vast military camp can be successfully completed.
On this day, Ren Laifeng was inspecting the construction site, and a guard came to report, and Kono Nakasa visited.
What are Kono doing here? Ren Laifeng was a little puzzled. Since the agreement was signed that day, more than two months have passed, and the two have never met again. Kono didn't dare to come to see Ren Laifeng, who was busy building a new military camp, so naturally he didn't have time to see him.
Not to mention Kono, it was the two Japanese advisers of the second battalion of the Anguo Army, and Murayama and Goto Ren Laifeng had never seen it. The two boys went to the barracks in the city and never came to the construction site. Of course, there is no need for the two of them on the construction site, they don't come just in peace. I didn't expect Kono to be here today, and Ren Laifeng happened to be not too busy at this time, so let's go and meet him.
Kono still wore his Japanese Nakasa's military uniform, rode a horse, and followed two guards by his side, which can be described as a light car.
Kono was nervous when he saw Ren Laifeng, so he looked left and right first, and he was relieved to make sure that there were no ambushes.
"General Ren!" Kono gave Ren Laifeng a Japanese-style military salute. Ren Laifeng is a major general, he is a lieutenant, and the salute between the soldiers is naturally the salute of the lower rank first.
Seeing that Kono was very obedient, Ren Laifeng was reluctant and had to return the courtesy. This is not respect for Kono as a person, this is respect for the profession of a soldier. "Kono, it's rare. Why are you free to visit me today? ”
"General Ren, I have something important to tell you." Kono looked anxious, "Can you find a secluded place?" ”
Secluded place? Let the wind look around, this is the construction site, where is there a secluded place? "Come on, tell me something. Nothing can be said to anyone. There's nothing unpleasant about the two of us. There are no outsiders here, so you can tell me something. "Only Feng Wenying is accompanying Ren Laifeng, and he is indeed not an outsider. The two devils in Kono's belt are probably not outsiders.
"General Ren is frank, Kono admires." Kono pretended to admire Ren Laifeng for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said the matter, "This morning, the Fourth Army Headquarters in Zhaodong sent a telegram, asking me to write an explanatory material and report on the new Anguo military camp outside the city. General Ren, if you build this barracks, how will the Fourth Army Headquarters know? ”
"What's so strange about that? Qinggang County is so close to Zhaodong, and it is not normal for the Fourth Army Headquarters to send a group of spies to several surrounding counties to keep an eye on it for its own safety. We've been building this barracks for more than two months, and it's been very good for them to ask you now. ”
"Not what you say! I suspect that someone went to Zhaodong to report to the headquarters of the Fourth Army! I'm worried, will General Kusaba mobilize troops to Qinggang later? ”
Is this over? Ren Laifeng waved his hand impatiently, "You tell me this now, and I don't have a solution." I said, Kono, do you know anyone in Zhaodong? You ask them to inquire about it and see what is going on. Someone has to tell the truth, who is that person? You tell me his name, and I'll send someone to get rid of him. That's all right, right? ”
In fact, Kono also had this meaning today, and when Ren Laifeng said this, he was naturally satisfied. As for the people who went to Zhaodong to inquire about the news, they are now halfway there.
