Handan, streets. Wang Xing's family dragged several coffins in a horse-drawn cart to the gate of the parliament compound. The reporters followed like flies, and the whole family wept and cried. A lot of people gathered around, and even though they were busy, they wanted to know what was going on.

"What's going on here? Could it be that which family bullies men and women can't do it, shouldn't it, the justice of the Republican Army will be carried out to the end, and civilians also have the right to fight back. People who don't know the truth say.

"Oh, didn't you read the newspaper? It has already been said in the newspapers. At first, this matter was only reported in small newspapers, and then gradually some big newspapers noticed such a thing, and this is not the case. One man looked at the gate of the compound and said.

"Tell me, we didn't know there were so many newspapers these days. We didn't notice anything big. Many people asked puzzled.

"Alas, this matter can only be unlucky, but in the end, it depends on what our Republican Army does." The man said. A lot of people don't know why.

"What this one is called, I don't know. I only know that this child's father is just a businessman, this businessman, you know, is to do some business, this child's father doesn't know what to think, just want to make a lot of money, in such a situation, he goes to the south to do business, you know, this business in the south, easy to do, but not easy to do, easy to do, is to do everything. As long as you transport it, you can definitely make a lot of money. The man said. Everyone knows very well what this good business is all about, that is, smuggling, as long as it can, will inevitably do some smuggling things to solve such things, but things are not easy to do.

"It's not easy to do, it's just up and down, and, along the way, you must have encountered some officials and bandits, and you also know that these officials and bandits are very difficult to do things, and even, many things have become extremely unstable. The variables in the middle are very large, the child's father may have encountered bandits, in fact, it was the robbery of Dong Zhuojun's unruly troops. You say, rob and rob. I don't know how, so I killed them. The heads were cut off. So far, I haven't found it, and tragically, several men have been killed. The bodies were found half a month later. It's still a person who runs out and tells them where the body is, otherwise, if they are all killed, no one knows where to find the body. The man said.

"It's really hateful, if it was really that easy to make money in business, we would have made money a long time ago. Isn't that harmful? It is also extremely difficult for a merchant to do business. A lot of people said in annoyance.

"Who says it's not. This Dong Zhuojun is not a good person, his army is a group of bandits, they do things quite viciously, and many things have no lower limit at all. If this continues, the results will be disastrous. A lot of people say that. People are changing their views on Dong Zhuo. Although Dong Zhuo's story is inspiring, the banditry practices of Dong Zhuo's army have harmed the interests of Republican army businessmen. Their interests are compromised. What else can they do if this kind of robbery is carried out by open fire?

The attraction of this matter lies in the fact that Dong Zhuo has harmed the interests of the Republican Army, what should the Republican Army do? Although they appear to be a few businessmen, in the eyes of the Republican Army, if they do not do a trivial matter, or do not send troops, how can their interests be preserved intact.

Now the Republican Army's foreign trade has reached the most critical time. If the Republican Army makes too many concessions in this matter, then it means that foreign trade will lose its military guarantee, which is an extremely dangerous thing, because it will inevitably cause many merchants to shrink out of the interests of their own protection, and the result of the shrinkage will be cascading. Factories, commerce, and even, the IRA will not exist.

The media also saw this point, and they will quickly expand, publicize this matter, and raise this matter to a very high level. This is a criminal case. But it is enough to pose a security threat to the IRA, and they need more than a statement, but a sense of security. The interests of businessmen cannot be lost in vain.

"Blood debts and blood repayment, seek justice." That's when it happened. A group of students shouted loudly with banners in indignation, and many people spontaneously joined in, they were expressing their opinions in their own way, they had their own ideas, they had their own opinions, and they also had a heart to fight for their own interests.

Reporters suddenly felt that the matter could expand even more.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"Technical problems are very difficult to solve for a while. The telegram sent by Ma Heng already showed this. Jia Xu said worriedly. Jia Xu was very concerned about the opening of Zezhou's southbound passage, and the telegram kept going back and forth between the two places. But none of the telegrams replied were too good.

"It's not just more engineering staff needed, there's more building materials. In addition to meeting some military production needs, the nearby Luzhou Iron Works also has a large civilian production, and the military's orders cannot be met for a while. Jia Xu said angrily.

Luzhou Iron Works had to do this for their own economic benefit, because the size of their factory had expanded several times. The factory, which used to have less than 10,000 people, now has almost 90,000 people. To feed these more than 90,000 people. They can only do this in a few special ways.

"No, if this is the case, it will be extremely unfavorable for us, we can't see such a thing happening, this is a very bad move for us, everyone knows that once such a move is formed, the consequences will be unimaginable." Shang Wu said.

"So, I decided to take an executive order. Let the Luzhou Iron Works provide them with equipment related to production. Concentrate your efforts. For building materials. and the civilian market, which is drawn from other regions. That's all Shang Wu can say.

At present, the military demand is far greater than the civilian demand, and if the civilian market is prioritized, the situation of the IRA will be very bad.

"Sir." The assistant cautiously came in and said this.

"New situation." The assistant was just holding a copy of the newspaper in the post and telegraph section. Some of the main contents of the newspaper are reached through the telegraph. The newspaper has a special telegraph line to receive, and the important text will be transmitted at the first time, and then the printing house will be arranged to print it, so that the newspaper can occupy the rapid situation at the news level at the first time.

Jia Xu took it, and Jia Xu felt a little strange, why is it a newspaper, is there any major discovery of the news newspaper? With such a guess, Jia Xu looked at the newspaper in his hand. After visiting, he handed it over to Shangwu with an extremely serious face.

"Something is wrong. If this matter is not handled well, the result will be very unfavorable to us. Jia Xu said.

Shang Wu took the newspaper and read it. The thing is clear. The businessmen of the Republican Army were killed. was killed by Dong Zhuo's army. Moreover, the heads were taken away by the other party. This has happened in the past. But because of the lack of evidence, and it is difficult to initiate such a thing against the other party, generally speaking, the robbery and let the other party go.

But when this kind of thing is reported in the news media, it will rise to a very serious level, hatred, which will inspire even greater public anger. At the same time, it also represents the result of a kind of power, and if they don't handle it properly, the result can be imagined what will happen.

"What do you think?" Shangwu asked.

"The first step, negotiation, serious negotiation, return the head, and at the same time severely punish the murderer, if the other party can't do it, we can only go to war." Jia Xu said.

After all, the mobilization of their military forces is not yet in place, and diplomacy must be carried out, and there is no war that has started all at once because of this incident.

Shang Wu nodded.

"I agree to do that, but we'd better have a press conference and give our opinions, and at best, I'll be there in person." Shang Wu said.

"We can't afford to let our businessmen's interests suffer extremely badly." Shang Wu said this, and Jia Xu nodded.

At the press conference.

"In the past, we always looked down on businessmen and always thought that they were mercenary, but they also had value and meaning in existence. We cannot erase it, and the IRA will take this incident seriously. We have asked Dong Zhuo to conduct a serious investigation and give us a satisfactory answer. Shang Wu said gently.

But anyone knows that this is unusual. Because it's usually the newsman who publishes it himself. But now, it is their commander, the top commander of the Republican Army, which represents the attitude of the military, and it is very likely that force will be used.

"Excuse me, sir, are we likely to use force?" One then asked boldly.

"We will use all our means. Force is our last resort, we don't need a lot, but fairness, justice, must be given to us. Shang Wu said.

The reporter nodded. Despite the clear answer, everyone knew that the IRA would use force. But under the premise, Dong Zhuo will not insist on going his own way.

The reporters were quick to write out some of their opinions, and they put the use of force in a very conspicuous position, for the simple purpose of reminding the other side that they would use force, and that they would use whatever force they could. War is extremely fair for anyone, but it is also the most unfair. It doesn't make any difference to them.

This has risen to a very high position.
