Tanaka didn't know what to say for a while, and felt that Wang Mo was too arrogant, even if he was the young marshal of the Sichuan Army and the governor of Hubei, it was impossible for him, a citizen of the Great Japanese Empire, to voluntarily kneel at the gate of the iron factory. Although kneeling was not a particularly humiliating gesture for their Yamato people, it did not mean that he would voluntarily bow to the Shina people.

Thinking of this, the corners of Tanaka's mouth showed a sneer of disdain.

Of course, Wang Mo knew that Tanaka seemed to be humble on the surface at this time, but in fact, he was disdainful of him in his heart, smiled coldly, and said, "Mr. Tanaka, do you know what will happen next?" Let me tell you, first of all, as a consultant at the Hanyang Iron Works, you used your power to coerce and force the family of Liu Laosan, a worker at the iron factory, to kneel in front of the iron factory for a day, and such humiliation of the Chinese will make the front page headlines of major newspapers and magazines in Wuhan, and then spread throughout China.

Then, this incident will arouse the great indignation of our compatriots, and the anti-Japanese sentiment among the people will be aroused and detonated, and the boycott of Japanese goods and anti-Japanese demonstrations will rise one after another, gradually forming a huge anti-Japanese wave.

Next, I, the governor of Hubei, will comply with public opinion and vigorously punish the Hanyang Iron Works, oh no, the Hanzhiping Company, which humiliates and abuses the workers. Well, maybe forcing Han Zhiping Company to suspend business for a period of time for rectification would be a good punishment method. Mr. Tanaka, are you right? ”

The more Tanaka listened, the more panicked and frightened he became, and his entire back was soaked in cold sweat. Others may not know, but he is also a middle-level leader of the Japanese side in the Hanzhiping Company, and of course he knows the importance of the Hanzhiping Company to the Japanese Empire. Such an important blood vessel for the empire, if he was cut off, then he would not be able to atone for his sins even if he committed suicide 10,000 times.

"No...... Please don't do that, Governor...... Your Excellency ......," Tanaka said with some panic.

Wang Mo did not respond to Tanaka, and still said unhurriedly: "I believe that when all this happens, whether it is the pressure of public opinion in my country or my actual threat, Mr. Tanaka, your boss will be angry with you, and then order you to 'voluntarily' kneel at the gate of the Hanyang Iron Works." I hope to ask for the forgiveness of my people and calm my anger. Mr. Tanaka, what do you think? ”

Wang Mo's words were plain, without a trace of anger. There is no coldness that implies murderous intent, as if it is just stating the facts that have already happened.

However, every word of these words sounded in Tanaka's ears, and they continued to explode in his heart like thunder. Emotionally difficult to accept. But reason told him that this was not alarmist, but very likely.

Tanaka's face turned pale, and he bowed ninety degrees to Wang Mo again, and said with some begging: "Lord Dudu, please don't do this." As long as...... As long as you raise your noble hand, I can 'voluntarily' kneel at the gate of the ironworks for a day. ”

What did you do earlier, what a guy who doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin.

Want him to stop? It's late!

Wang Mo secretly sneered, shook his head and said, "Mr. Tanaka, if you kneel at the gate of the iron factory now. If you spread the word, others will only see that my king is a bully, and they will not notice that you have humiliated the Chinese workers first. Therefore, I advise Mr. Tanaka that you should not do this, otherwise it will only cause me to be more hostile and against Han Zhiping Company. ”

Can't you bow your head if you're soft?

"Damn the Shina people!" Tanaka secretly scolded non-stop, if he could, he really wanted to kill Wang Mo now, even if it was to die together.

Wang Mo no longer paid attention to Tanaka, but turned his head to Hao Gang, who had been staring at the Japanese fiercely, and ordered: "Hao Gang, you immediately lead a division and a regiment to the bank of the lime kiln river by boat. Then take the train to the Dazhi Iron Mine, garrison the perimeter of the iron mine, and wait for further orders! ”

It is very convenient to get to Dazhi Iron Mine from Hanyang Iron Works, because Zhang Zhidong was in order to transport the ore from Dazhi Iron Mine to Hanyang Iron Works. Not only has a special ore loading wharf been built, a special ore transportation fleet has been formed, but a direct railway to the Dazhi iron ore mine has been built on the bank of the river.

From this point, it can be completely seen that Wang Mo did not convene the field troops from the beginning to deal with any bullshit factory protection team, his real goal was actually Dazhi Iron Mine!

That's right, since I think of the problem of Han Zhiping's company. Thinking of the importance of the Dazhi Iron Mine to Japan, Wang Mo went straight to the Dazhi Iron Mine, and the summoning of the field troops to play the warlord style was just a cover for others to see.

As soon as Hao Gang heard that there was a big move, his eyes lit up, and he immediately responded loudly: "Yes!" ”

Subsequently, Hao Gang led a regiment of the First Division of the Sichuan Army to the Dazhi Iron Mine, and the soldiers of the Sichuan Army who were densely gathered around the Hanyang Iron Works retreated like a tide after a short time.

When the Sichuan army left, Tanaka did not feel relieved, but fell into an ice cave, and his hands and feet were cold.

Things have completely made a big fuss, Dazhi Iron Mine is in trouble, and Hanzhiping is in big trouble!

After all the Sichuan troops withdrew, Wang Mo stepped forward and said loudly to the surrounding ironworks workers: "Brothers workers of the ironworks, I believe you have all heard it just now. The Oriental people wantonly humiliate us Chinese workers, and I, as the governor of Hubei, cannot ignore it. Therefore, I have decided that from now on, the Hanyang Iron Works will enter an indefinite shutdown for rectification! ”

Hearing Wang Mo's words, the surrounding iron factory workers were in an uproar.

"What, the ironworks are out of business? Then we don't have a job, what do we use to support our families? ”

"The Orientals are very excessive, but they can't stop the iron works!"

"That is, we still count on the wages of the iron factory for our daily rations."

……

It is a pity that when Wang Mo decided to force the iron factory to stop work in order to punish the Orientals, the surrounding iron factory workers not only did not applaud, but complained that most of the opponents were opposed.

In the final analysis, for ordinary people, the world is not as big as eating. They were very dissatisfied with and even angry at the Orientals for oppressing and humiliating the workers of the iron works, but they were more concerned about whether they could keep their jobs.

Wang Mo is also very clear and understands this, so he said: "Fellow workers, you can rest assured, although the Hanyang Iron Works has been suspended, I will definitely not ignore everyone. I am going to build an iron-making plant in Sichuan that is bigger than the Hanyang Iron Works, and if you are willing to do so, you can go to work in the Iron Works in Sichuan together, and the government will pay for the settlement fee! If you don't want to, the government can also help coordinate work in other factories! ”

As long as half of these iron mill workers are willing to go to Sichuan, Wang Mo can recruit some domestic or foreign technical experts with high salaries, and the steel plant in Panzhihua can be built.

You must know that the reserves of vanadium titanomagnetite in Panzhihua are as high as nearly 10 billion tons, and Wang Mo can build a steel city there. This will play a tremendous role in promoting Sichuan's economic development and the growth of China's national strength.

The surrounding iron factory workers looked at each other, not knowing what choice to make, some couldn't believe Wang Mo's promise, and some didn't know whether to go to Sichuan or transfer to another factory.

At this time, Shi Hao, who was quite prestigious among the workers of the iron factory, stood up and said: "Brothers, think about it, since the Oriental people came to the iron factory, what kind of life have the big guys lived? Every day I was as tired as a dog, and the Orientals connived at Feng Yan and others to beat and scold us, and from time to time found excuses to deduct our wages and force us to confess to him. Do you want to continue to live such a life? ”

This resonated strongly with the surrounding ironworks workers, who all remembered the oppression and hardship they had suffered in these days, and the anger accumulated in the past exploded in vain.

"Damn, if you go to Sichuan, you will go to Sichuan, as long as you don't work under the hands of the Orientals!"

"If I don't do it, even if I am transferred to another factory to see the warehouse, I am willing!"

"Damn, staying in the iron factory is also living like a dog, and Lao Tzu won't do it anymore!"

……

The surrounding ironworks were excited, and they all denounced the bad behavior of the Dongyang people and Feng Yan who had bullied them in the past.

"Shi Hao, come over here." Wang Mo beckoned and called Shi Hao over.

Although Shi Hao is also a tall man, he has a lot of prestige among the workers in the past because he dared to fight against the leaders of the iron factory for the interests of the workers, but in the end, he is a flat-headed ordinary man, and he is still a little nervous in the face of a high-ranking and powerful person like Wang Mo who holds the power of life and death in Hubei.

"My lord, I don't know...... What are your ...... Enjoin? Shi Hao's words were not very neat, without any boldness and rigidity in the past.

It's no wonder that Shi Hao reacted like this, any ordinary person with a flat head who saw Wang Mo summoning thousands of murderous troops with a wave of his hand just now would have an extremely intuitive understanding of Wang Mo's power, and would be in fear and awe because of this.

Wang Mo said: "Shi Hao, it can be seen that the workers of the iron factory are more convinced of you. So, you are responsible for registering the choices of the workers at the iron works, and organizing the relocation of the workers who are willing to go to Sichuan, and the cost of settling in is also coordinated with the provincial government on behalf of the workers. ”

"Huh?" Shi Hao was stunned, he didn't expect Wang Mo to hand over this important matter to him at all.

Wang Mo didn't give Shi Hao a chance to refuse, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, this matter is settled, I will send someone to contact you and coordinate the arrangements for the workers of the Hanyang Iron Works." ”

Wang Mo then left with the guards, leaving behind the talkative Hanyang Iron Works workers, the terrified Iron Works officials, and the panicked Japanese.

In the afternoon of the same day, after Wang Mo had made an appointment to meet with the editor-in-chief and chief writer of the major newspapers and periodicals in Wuhan, the major newspapers and periodicals in Wuhan temporarily printed and published an incident in which the Japanese advisers of the Hanyang Iron Works wantonly humiliated the Chinese workers, which led to Wang Mo, the major marshal of the Sichuan army and the governor of Hubei, to raise troops in anger.

"Outside, outside, the Japanese consultant of the Hanyang Iron Works Kakumasa Tanaka humiliated the Chinese workers and caused a fierce conflict!"

"Outside, outside, Wang Mo, the young marshal of the Sichuan Army and the governor of Hubei, was extremely indignant at the Oriental people's humiliation of the Chinese workers, and immediately mobilized a regiment of the Sichuan Army to seize the Hanyang Iron Works!"

"Outside, outside, Wang Dudu said that now is not the Manchu Qing, and the Chinese swear not to be foreign slaves!"
