At the same time as the cloth cargo ship at the Tianjin wharf departed, a large amount of cotton was also transported from Liang Laoqi's warehouse to the Guhuai wharf.

Since this was the first transaction of Guhuai's "Xinmin Trading Company", the relevant personnel attached great importance to it, and Ma Tao, Feng Tiandong, and Liang Laoqi all came to the wharf.

The inspectors had already received a notice from Director Zhu Cun'an, and Ma Tao and the three of them came to the wharf in person, so all the goods did not need to be inspected at all, and they immediately signed out the documents that passed the inspection. Subsequently, a large amount of cotton began to be loaded onto the ship one after another.

It's just that, except for Feng Tiandong and Liang Laoqi, no one knows how much cotton is loaded onto the ship.

Near noon, the three cargo ships transporting the cloth finally arrived at Guhuai Wharf, and before the ship could stop, He Qingjin was the first to jump off the bow of the ship excitedly.

"How's it going, is the road going well?" Hurriedly pulled He Qingjin to his side, Liang Laoqi asked vaguely.

"Don't worry, Seventh Master, everything goes well!" He Qingjin's face was full of joy, and he replied with a pun.

After listening to He Qingjin's words, the big stone in Liang Laoqi's heart finally fell, and he suddenly felt relaxed, and loudly ordered everyone in the trading company to get on the ship to count and register the cloth transported.

Seeing that the cargo ship transporting the cloth had successfully arrived in Guhuai, the shopkeeper sent by Huaxing Yarn Factory to Guhuai came over and asked Liang Laoqi for instructions: The goods have been loaded, is it possible to set off.

Liang Laoqi waved his hand, and the seven cargo ships loaded with cotton on the dock immediately set sail for Tianjin.

The first transaction between Guhuai "Xinmin Trading Company" and Tianjin "Huaxing Yarn Factory", cotton for cloth, was successfully completed.

Huaxing Yarn Factory, Guhuai Xinmin Association, and Liang Laoqi's Seven Dragons Association, all parties are happy.

But who can know that on the way to Guhuai, a boatload full of specially treated grey cloth has been diverted at the river bay and sailed directly to Baiyangdian, where a large number of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are waiting to transport this ship of cloth back to the base area.

In this way, unbeknownst to God and unknowingly, a large amount of cloth was transported to the base of the Eighth Route Army through Feng Tiandong's precise arrangement.

The task of helping the Eighth Route Army to purchase cloth was successfully completed.

A large amount of cloth was transported back to Liang Laoqi's warehouse, and soon, the news that the "Xinmin Trading Company" had transported a large number of fabrics of various colors spread throughout Guhuai City and the surrounding counties.

After hearing the news, the large and small cloth shops and cloth merchants in Guhuai City and the surrounding counties went to the "Xinmin Trading Company" to negotiate and order, and Guhuai City has not had so many cloths shipped for a long time, and no one can buy so many cloths at once, and suddenly the name of "Xinmin Trading Company" and Liang Laoqi spread all over Guhuai.

In Guhuai, many people know the relationship between the Feng family and Liang Laoqi, and several cloth merchants who have a good relationship with the Feng family find Feng Tiandong, hoping to get the preferential treatment of the "Xinmin Trading Company", Feng Tiandong immediately agreed, he is to establish a good relationship with Guhuai and all aspects.

Lu Chunming also followed Feng Tiandong's suggestion and sent a few people to pretend to be cloth merchants from the surrounding counties, pretending to come to Liang Laoqi to place an order. Although he was temporarily rejected by Liang Laoqi, he became familiar with each other, which laid the foundation for future interactions.

After successfully completing the task of purchasing cloth, Feng Tiandong felt refreshed and energetic to go back and forth between various departments of Guhuai, fulfilling his duties as a liaison officer, and was repeatedly praised by Ishikawa Ichiro.

The headquarters of the Japanese North China Front sent people to Guhuai and brought a plan for the clean-up, and Ishikawa Ichiro informed Feng Tiandong to go with him to the Guhuai garrison headquarters for a meeting, which was also attended by the officers of the appeasement army under the jurisdiction of the Japanese army in Guhuai, and Li Yonghe was also sitting.

Lieutenant General Kuwaki Chongming, commander of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army, specially came to Guhuai from Shimen to preside over the meeting

There was no sound in the huge office, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. General Sangmu Chongming sat alone on the main seat, looked around at the participants around him, and said slowly:

"This time, the North China Front Army Command has formulated a new operational plan, preparing to launch a large-scale sweep of the Eighth Route Army in North China, completely occupy their so-called base areas, and protect our rear area, so as to facilitate our next stage of the battle in the south."

In order to ensure the next operations in the south, protect the safety of the occupied cities and water and land communication lines in North China, and ensure the safety of the railway lines such as Pinghan and Zhengtai, the 110th Division was deployed in the areas around Guhuai and Shimen; The 10th Division was deployed in the northwest of Shanxi; The 15th Division was deployed in the area of Taihang Mountain.

Emphasis should be placed on strengthening control over Beijing, Tianjin, Gutai, and Taipei.

This time, the Japanese army in North China used more than 50,000 troops to fight against the Eighth Route Army, as well as nearly 30,000 troops of the North China Appeasement Army, all of which were used to attack the Eighth Route Army in North China, in an attempt to completely destroy the anti-Japanese base areas and eliminate the anti-Japanese armed Communist Eighth Route Army.

After Kuwaki Chongming finished speaking, Major General Maeda Akiyu, the commander of the Japanese army in Guhuai, briefly informed the North China Front Command of the order to sweep and asked all units to be ready.

After Maeda finished speaking, Lieutenant General Kuwaki Chongming suddenly stood up, and everyone was so frightened that they stood up one after another, only to hear Kumagi Chongming laugh loudly, and then I heard him say arrogantly:

"What is the Eighth Route Army, it's just a group of farmers with guns, and even some people don't have weapons at all, and it is impossible to have combat effectiveness at all."

"The Communist Party sent these Eighth Route Army to the battlefield, that is, to send war exploits to the Imperial Army, as long as we want, we can destroy them at any time! , this sweep is their end"

"Gentlemen! Go for it! ”

Next, all the Chinese attending the meeting were kicked out of the conference room, leaving the Japanese alone for a secret meeting, not knowing what was being discussed.

"Brother Feng, come, come, I'll introduce you to a few friends." Seeing Feng Tiandong standing alone, Sun Hongyuan greeted warmly.

Next, Sun Hongyuan introduced Wan Chenglie, a translator of the Japanese army headquarters, and Wang Dong, a translator of the gendarmerie, to Feng Tiandong.

Wang Dong, like Sun Hongyuan, came from Manchukuo in northeastern China.

Wan Sung-yeol was a Korean who also served in the Kwantung Army in the Northeast, and he could already be seen as half Japanese, and since Korea had been occupied by Japan for a long time, many Koreans had been assimilated by Japan.

Feng Tiandong immediately took out four small brocade boxes from the leather bag he was carrying and handed them to the four people.

"The first time you meet, a small gift, not a tribute, you are seniors, please take care of me in the future." Feng Tiandong said humbly that he put his posture very low, and the translators who can participate in today's meeting should all be the core figures of their respective institutions, and they are all Feng Tiandong's good friends.

After receiving the gift, the four of them expressed their gratitude to Feng Tiandong.

In Guhuai, many people know that Feng Tiandong, a gentleman, likes to visit antique stores very much, and often buys some ancient jewelry and other gadgets to give away, but this gentleman traitor is very strong in price reduction, and sometimes it is simply unreasonable, making all antique shops miserable, and they are afraid of his patronage.

Due to Feng Tiandong's gift, after a while, they chatted very familiarly, and the four of them made an appointment to have the opportunity to drink together another day.
