Chapter 187: Preemptive strike

In the eyes of the town's natives, Zhao Tiehu was declared by Hax as the new Davao town warden. In the future, Zhao Tiehu will be responsible for all important military and political affairs in Davao. This also realizes that Davao has officially become Zhao Tiehu's territory.

Compared with the hatred of the indigenous people in the town, the Chinese who came with Zhao Tiehu were very excited. Even the wolf warriors who have followed them all the way across the ocean know that they finally have a real place to settle down now.

Taking over the residence of the town government and the acting town warden, Zhao Tiehu did not rush to take office, but ordered Li Hao to send a number of reconnaissance teams to survey the situation around Davao Town and choose a resettlement site outside the town.

The first batch of more than 200 workers who came with Zhao Tiehu needed to build a village that could accommodate hundreds of people in the shortest possible time. And such a village will also house more and more Chinese immigrants in the future.

A few days later, Li Hao finally chose a suitable place to build a village. Although the place looked a little desolate, there was a lot of wood around it, and there was a wasteland suitable for cultivation. It should be perfectly fine to build a village.

Although the indigenous people who lived here in the early days have also cultivated a lot of land. But Zhao Tiehu, who came here for the first time, didn't want to anger these indigenous people too much. And what Zhao Tiehu has to do is to let the natives take the initiative to come to him for trouble.

In that case, he would then have the right reason to execute the rebellious natives and confiscate the land they had cultivated. As for other honest aborigines, Zhao Tiehu doesn't mind giving them some jobs to make their lives better.

As for the wolf warrior mercenaries who came with Zhao Tiehu, they began to take over the town's defense and vigilance, and built certain early warning fortifications. Hakes, who was in charge of escorting Zhao Tiehu to his post, was also preparing to return to Manila.

Rather than staying in such a desolate town with no nightlife or entertainment, Hux and the American soldiers he brought with him preferred to stay in a bustling port city like Manila. can stay for a week, but also for the sake of Zhao Tiehu's delicious food and drink.

Before leaving, Zhao Tiehu personally sent Hax and his party to the dock, and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Colonel Hax, thank you for your help this week." However, I'm sure when you come back next year, there should be a huge change here. ”

'Okay, Chen! I trust your abilities, and hopefully the next time you come back, you'll have complete control over this place. ’

Although I don't understand why Zhao Tiehu can't live in Ruoda's wolf castle, he just ran to such a desolate place as a town guard. But Hax can feel that the mysterious Chinese he befriended should not be a person who is willing to be ordinary.

Manila is prosperous, but it is controlled by the U.S. military, and Zhao Tiehu will not be allowed to continue to expand his influence. In contrast, today's Mindanao, although desolate, is more suitable for Zhao Tiehu to show his skills.

Coupled with the recent influx of Chinese immigrants to Manila, Hax also knows that most of these immigrants were migrated by Zhao Tiehu. If these Chinese move to Davao, I believe that this place will soon become prosperous.

Soon after Hax and his entourage left, the materials and food purchased by Zhao Tiehu earlier were also transported to Wo's wharf in batches. Chinese business leaders, who have already made a lot of profits from cooperating with Zhao Tiehu, have also set foot on this desolate place for the first time.

Zhao Tiehu, as the town guard, also said in a timely manner: "According to the agreement I reached with Governor Joseph, you will enjoy tax exemption when you come to Davao to set up a factory in the next year, and only half of the tax will be charged in the second year.

Although it may seem desolate now, thousands of Chinese will arrive in the coming period. At present, my staff is building villages nearby to house these migrants.

As a town warden, I hope that all of you seniors will also move some of your industries here one after another. Manila is certainly more prosperous than it is here, but I'm sure you'll find it a better place for us when you come here.

Actually, this is just one point of our foothold, and as long as we can establish ourselves here, we can move to other places one after another. The island of Mindanao will also become a new gathering place for our Chinese.

If you are willing to come and invest, I will try to get some tax incentives with you. In the future, I will also give priority to the materials purchased by the industry under my name. Therefore, please think about it! ”

The patriarch of the Wang clan, who had been in contact with Zhao Tiehu for a while, also said in a timely manner: "Brother, you tell the truth to your brother, what are you from?" As far as I know, the Chen family in San Francisco has never heard of such a disciple as you.

But my brother can see that you are a man who sincerely thinks about our people, and those people under you, my brother can see that they are all from military backgrounds. Plus you come from China, are you a child of a family in China? ”

Facing the inquiry of the patriarch of the Wang clan, Zhao Tiehu said with a smile: "It seems that my brother really cares about me, and he has heard about the United States." But I must say that I must be a Chinese from San Francisco, and I have never said that I am a child of the Chen family.

As for who I am, does it really matter? As for what I want to do in the future, I can only say sorry that it's not time yet. What I'm going to do shouldn't be known to too many people for the time being, because it's very risky.

But what I can tell my brother is that I want to make this a safe haven for the Chinese. And in the future, I will also settle here and have children. To be precise, I'm also building a home for myself where I can rest in peace.

I believe that my brother is also a patriotic person, and I believe that he can keep some secrets for me. Then I can reveal a little bit of information to my brother, I have thousands of people under these men. In the future, there will be more such subordinates.

And in the future, my subordinates will also arrive here one after another and become strong pillars to protect this place. In due course, even those foreigners must come here as I wish, and that's why I invite you to settle here! ”

These words revealed some of Zhao Tiehu's ambitions, but they did not tell these Chinese leaders their true intentions. After all, even Zhao Tiehu himself does not dare to guarantee that he has a chance of success for that expectation.

But even so, the patriarch of the Wang clan finally said: "Okay, just what my brother said before, my Wang family will move the grain processing factory here." In the future, the grain purchased by my Wang family will always be guaranteed to be sold at a fair price for my brother.

But I hope brother, don't forget what you said today. No matter where we come from, we all have an identity, that is, Chinese people who have crossed the ocean to make a living. If we don't unite anymore, who will take us seriously? ”

With the leadership of the patriarch of the Wang clan, the rest of the Chinese business leaders who came to deliver goods and visit also chose to relocate some factories here one after another. In order to house these factories, Zhao Tiehu also deliberately found a place outside the town to establish an industrial zone.

With the arrival of these Chinese business owners and the arrival of a large number of Chinese immigrants to Davao, the small town of Davao, which was originally dominated by indigenous people, soon became a place where Chinese gathered.

According to the earlier planning of the town, Zhao Tiehu decided to re-plan the town. In Manila, if the town is to be the seat of the municipal government, it must be a bit of an urban area.

The worst is to look like a county town! To this end, a new round of construction around the town is also being promoted. In the process, the indigenous people who dare to resist will also be ruthlessly suppressed.

Recruits from China, Hong Kong and Manila were also transferred to Davao to form the first garrison. Its strength is also about one battalion. But the wolf warrior is still different from this battalion.

According to Zhao Tiehu's plan, the most elite fighters of the garrison battalion in the future will have the opportunity to join the wolf warrior. Compared with the treatment of the garrison battalion, the treatment of the wolf warrior is always the highest, and it is also the most trustworthy unit under Zhao Tiehu.

In the face of the continuous influx of Chinese in Davao, the indigenous people who lived in Davao earlier have also begun to contact their armed forces in Mindanao. In the eyes of these natives, if this situation is not curbed, Mindanao may become the world of the Chinese in the future.

Although the Chinese are only developing in the Davao region at the moment, the proportion of the whole of Mindanao is still insignificant. However, for many natives, they have always had a hostile attitude towards the Chinese moving to Nanyang.

As these natives approached the rebels in preparation for a large-scale raid on the Chinese in Davao. Zhao Tiehu's intelligence network in the Philippines is also collecting information about the armed forces of these rebels.

The reconnaissance detachment led by the wolf warriors successively infiltrated the mountainous areas where the rebel armies were located to find out the situation of the rebels' armies. For the joint operation they are about to prepare, Zhao Tiehu has also been holding his arm.

But secretly, Zhao Tiehu still transferred elite troops from all over the country, as well as a batch of weapons and ammunition to arrive in Wo to prepare for war. According to Zhao Tiehu's arrangement, the battle against these rebel armies, he hoped to start in the field.

As for the town that is currently going well, Zhao Tiehu feels that this tranquility should not be broken. The security of the entire town, with a newly formed garrison battalion in charge, is believed to be enough to suppress the natives who try to rebel at that time.

Just when Chen Wan led a communication team and a group of soldiers arrived in Davao, the newly established town office. Li Hao, who was in charge of intelligence reconnaissance, also submitted an intelligence report in a timely manner: "Wolf head, the earth monkey is out of the nest!" ”

Looking at this information, Zhao Tiehu sneered at the right time: "It seems that these natives are quite good at picking the time to raid on the night of the New Year. Now there are only three days left before the Chinese New Year, so let's take two days to get rid of them.

Pass my order, the battle team and the veteran team, all into combat state. You are the commander-in-chief, responsible for dismantling the rebels who are arriving in Davao one after another. And I'm here to wait, waiting for your good news! ”

'Yes, please rest assured, Wolf Boss will complete the mission! ’

With Zhao Tiehu's order, the soldiers and veterans who had been stationed in the dense forest outside the town, under the leadership of their respective commanders, secretly sneaked into the deep mountains and jungles, preparing to carry out a preemptive strike against the gathered rebel forces!
