Chapter 179: Aftermath
The Eighth Route Army withdrew, and the large Japanese troops outside also returned to Guhuai one after another, looking at the few leading officers who came to the headquarters, Maeda Akiyu's anger surged upward.
Although he was holding his breath, Maeda Akiyoke no longer cared about beating and scolding, he had to think about himself first to solve the problems he was currently facing.
Guhuai Station was broken by the Eighth Route Army, and the materials hoarded at the station were robbed, which was a hornet's nest.
These materials at the station do not belong to the Japanese army headquarters in Guhuai, they are important resources plundered by several major Japanese consortia in North China, these consortia are terrible, in Japan, they are all through the sky, their goods were robbed at Guhuai Station, they will naturally aim at Guhuai, and will never easily spare the Japanese commander Maeda Akiyu.
Maeda Akisuke was afraid, he was afraid that the Japanese base camp would remove him from his post on the spot, return to China and transfer to the reserves, cutting off his path to advancement. I'm even more afraid that he will commit suicide and apologize.
After thinking about it, there was no way, so Maeda Akisuke had to come to the "Linghua Club" to find Iwasaki Daisa, and ask for help from this classmate of the Imperial Army University.
Maeda Akisuke hopes that Iwasaki can say good things for him at the top through the Mitsubishi consortium and give him a chance to make meritorious contributions to his crimes.
Faced with Maeda's request, Iwasaki Hirosuke readily agreed to help, but he had one condition, he asked Maeda Akisuke to be responsible for compensating the "Ryoka Kaisha" for the loss. Among the materials looted at Guhuai Station, some of them were cotton that the "Linghua Company" was preparing to transport to Beiping.
These are small problems, which are easy for Maeda Akiyu to solve, so he naturally agreed.
Since he agreed, he had to do something, and Maeda Akiyu took a large amount of money and instructed the Xinmin Association to help the "Linghua Society" buy cotton again.
Liang Laoqi also worked very hard, and it didn't take long for him to buy the lost cotton of the "Linghua Club" again, and the quantity was even more sufficient.
In this way, Ma Tao and Liang Laoqi were praised by Maeda Mingyou. It's a pity that Gu Huai Devil and Ma Tao couldn't have imagined that Liang Laoqi took advantage of this great opportunity to secretly purchase a large number of control materials, which were scattered and stored in warehouses in several county towns.
With the help of the Iwasaki family of the Mitsubishi Foundation, soon, the storm of Guhuai Station being breached by the Eighth Route Army passed quietly, and Maeda Akiyoke was only reprimanded by the North China Command.
Immediately afterwards, a team of Japanese sappers sent by Beiping recruited a large number of people around Guhuai and began to rebuild the Guhuai Railway Station in order to restore the smooth flow of the Pinghan Line as soon as possible.
In a hurry, a trade store called "Yu Hongxiang" was grandly opened on West Street.
This trading warehouse is located on the site of the original "Yongtaichang" warehouse, occupying two of the facades. Since the last time Diao Yifeng got rid of the underground party's traffic station of "Yongtaichang", I don't know what means he used, he let his brother Diao Yiguiba take those facades for himself and rent them out to make money.
The shopkeeper of the "Yu Hongxiang" warehouse is a middle-aged man in his thirties, named Yang Guoxin, medium height, with a businessman's wit all over his body, always smiling first when he sees people, and treating every customer with unusual enthusiasm
Although the scale of "Yu Hongxiang" is not very large, his goods are very complete, even salt, cloth, kerosene and other control materials can be bought in this warehouse, and they are available at any time.
In this way, it didn't take long for the name of "Yu Hongxiang" to spread among merchants.
Soon, this warehouse attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people, including some large and small traders who specialized in pouring and controlling materials, they used to have difficulty in purchasing, and now they can easily buy the goods they need from "Yu Hongxiang", which opens the door for them to grab high profits.
At the same time, "Yu Hongxiang" also attracted the attention of the Guhuai underground party. Raising supplies for the base area is one of the main tasks of the Guhuai underground party, and the appearance of this warehouse allows them to see a good channel that can avoid a lot of trouble. But they didn't act rashly, they kept watching.
The opening of the "Yu Hongxiang" warehouse did not attract Feng Tiandong's attention, in Guhuai, I don't know how many transactions open and close every day, and it is difficult for a small warehouse to open to attract his attention, Feng Tiandong does not care about whether other trading companies are selling control materials, he has his own channels.
It has been several days since Guhuai Station was broken by the Eighth Route Army, and the base area is still immersed in a festive atmosphere. The success of the raid on Guhuai Station has brought too many benefits to the base area.
Just the large amount of cotton that was seized could make life in the base area much better, not to mention that there were other large quantities of supplies.
Regrettably, no further weapons and ammunition were seized. This is mainly because at that time, the station was piled up with materials plundered by the devils from North China, not the equipment and supplies of the devils' troops.
In this way, it is also a great gain for the base area. With the seized cotton, there is no need to spend money to buy from the common people, and a large amount of money can be saved, but the base areas are very short of money.
As soon as the cloth arrives in Tianjin, the problem of winter clothing for this year can be satisfactorily solved, and the person in charge of the logistics department of the military region has not been able to close his smiling mouth these days.
At present, under the arrangement of Lu Chunming, the enemy engineering department is actively preparing to accept the cloth shipped out of Tianjin, and they have already completed negotiations with Liang Laoqi and Cao Cunyue, and are waiting for the goods to be loaded and shipped out.
There was also a relaxed atmosphere in the military district headquarters. Commander Nie was smiling, and he was discussing something with Chief of Staff Tang and Director Zhu of the Political Department.
At this time, a leader of the Eighth Route Army frowned, hurriedly walked in with a telegram in his hand, handed it to the commander, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Peng's telegram, criticizing us, is not good." ”
The commander took the telegram and glanced at it, then placed him on the table, and smiled helplessly.
Chief of Staff Tang didn't know why, so he reached out and took the telegram and looked at it, and saw that there was only one sentence on it: "Your military region has no overall view." ”
It turned out that Feng Tiandong's report on the mountain goods trade and Lu Chunming's compilation of the conversation record also aroused the attention of General Peng after they were reported to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with puzzled eyes, the commander explained briefly, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Peng suggested that that bastard boy preside over the mountain goods transaction, but I refused, no, the criticism telegram came." ”
Chief of Staff Tang couldn't help but smile and said, "This is normal, not to mention Mr. Peng, everyone will have such thoughts." ”
Commander Nie shook his head and said helplessly: "Mr. Peng doesn't understand the situation, it seems that we need to send someone to explain to Mr. Peng, otherwise, the misunderstanding will be big." ”
"I think let's let Li Mingnan go, and report the situation of Comrade Wild Goose to Mr. Peng in detail, and he will understand us." Chief of Staff Don proposed.
The commander nodded in agreement.
Glancing at the telegram and hearing the conversation between the commander and the two of them, Director Zhu of the Political Department was the second monk and was confused.
Seeing this, Chief of Staff Tang drove out several staff officers in the headquarters and explained Feng Tiandong's situation to Director Zhu in a low voice.
"This Li Mingnan, the secrecy work is doing a good job, the enemy engineering department actually keeps it secret from me, haha......, I didn't expect that there are such talents in our Political Department." Director Zhu was naturally very happy after hearing this, and seemed to complain, but he was actually praising Li Mingnan and Feng Tiandong.
