Compared with the uncontrollable political situation in the north and south of China, a series of expansion actions in Sichuan's military and political circles have made him extremely anxious and angry.

When Xiao Yimin's Huaxi Industrial took the lead in acquiring the Ma'anshan iron ore area, the confident and arrogant Chinese agency in China was still in the dark.

In his own eyes, the Ma'anshan Mining Area, which has been providing low-cost and high-quality iron ore to the company all year round, has been firmly controlled by both the government and the businessmen of Zhengjin Bank and Yawata Iron and Steel, and has completed absolute control over the Ma'anshan Mining Area, which is extremely rich in reserves but still in a primitive mining state, economically and tradeably.

He said that he had already had a series of plans to encroach on the Ma'anshan mining area.

It is only necessary to wait until the end of this year, when the five-year ore purchase contract signed between Yawata Steel and those stupid, cowardly, but extremely greedy Chinese miners expires, and the company will quickly take measures to exert political and economic pressure on the Yanjing and Nanjing local governments, and obtain the support of the relevant Chinese officials by means of repeated coercion and inducement, and covert bribery, so as to force the Yanjing and Nanjing local governments to nationalize the vast and rich Ma'anshan mining area, and then use mortgage loans. The entire Ma'anshan mining area was mortgaged to the Bank in exchange for a loan or weapons and ammunition that was in short supply.

In this way, it is said that without bloodshed, he will be able to achieve the ultimate goal of completely occupying the Ma'anshan mining area.

The news that Han Yeping's 48 percent stake was acquired by China's Huaxi Industrial Group attracted everyone's attention, and when the company was confident that it would be able to win the final victory in this anti-takeover war through a series of operations, Yawata Steel, which had taken away 70,000 tons of high-quality iron ore from the Ma'anshan mining area every month, turned its attention to other places, and was surprised to find that the Ma'anshan mining area, which had been included in the strategic plan for China five years ago, had changed owners. It no longer has anything to do with the ambitious and early annexation plan.

What makes me angry but has nowhere to vent is:

The new owners of the Ma'anshan mining area are Xiao Yimin's Huaxi Industrial and the Western Iron and Steel Company, and the two great gods each own 50 percent of the shares in the Ma'anshan mining area and the Maanshan Iron and Steel Company under construction.

A series of indications after the Ma'anshan mining area was acquired by a Sino-US joint venture show that the US political axe and multinational consortium behind the Western Iron and Steel Company have taken advantage of the opportunity when the European powers have no time to be distracted and have officially sounded the clarion call to carve up the Chinese market. The political axe and powerful capital of the United States, an industrial power that has long been eyeing China, have demonstrated to the world its great ambition to expand its interests and political discourse in China through the intervention of the Western Iron and Steel Company of the United States.

Up to now, no matter how much he regrets and makes amends, he will not be able to change the reality of losing the Ma'anshan iron ore mining area, still less can he challenge the more and more powerful Americans because of his anger and greed -- the United States today is not only the largest creditor country in Japan, but also the largest steel supplier and textile sales market in Japan, and any retaliation by the US consortium may cause violent turmoil in the economy of the country, and the losses caused will never be less than that of the Ma'anshan mining area.

The failure of Hachiman Steel, the Zhengjin Bank, and the Chinese offices in China has been widely condemned by the industrial and commercial circles, and the series of performances of Xiao Yimin's Huaxi Industrial are still seriously damaging the interests of the company in China, and the hard-line behavior of the Huaxi Group Company in secretly acquiring the Hanyeping Company and announcing the convening of the board of directors in the name of the largest shareholder to seek to purchase all the shares of the Hanyeping Company in full has completely broken his bottom line and triggered condemnation and retaliation from all walks of life.

However, the speed of action and the resolute determination of the Sichuan political axe and army far exceeded everyone's imagination.

From the beginning of the Sichuan army's capture of Yichang, to the completion of the acquisition of 48 percent of the shares of the Han Yeping Company, and with the backing of strong military intervention, from the international business agreement and the people's will to break the control of Han Yeping, and finally under the pretext of "settling the strike and resuming production", brazenly dispatched a regiment of troops to occupy the Daye Iron Mine, which was still in dispute, the whole process was dazzling, and the means were extremely tough, leaving no chance for Yue himself to prepare and stop it.

At a time when various organs in China held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures, the Huaxi Group Company, representing the Sichuan political axe and the military, began to mobilize the power of public opinion, successfully mobilized the self-esteem and patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people, and announced that it had hired lawyers and economic experts from Europe and the United States in Shanghai to form a powerful group of lawyers and experts to conduct a complete clean-up and appraisal of Han Yeping's corporate bonds and debts.

At the same time, with unprecedented patience and tolerance, the Huaxi Group Company agreed to negotiate with the representatives elected by the 20,000 miners of the striking Daye Iron Mine, listened carefully to the voices of the workers, promised to do everything possible to solve the problem of the 20,000 miners' arrears of wages and the current problem of food, and agreed that the 20,000 miners would form their own trade unions, and then the trade unions and the Huaxi Group Company would jointly negotiate to form a mine protection team to protect the mining rights and company property, and then replace the "Huaxi Company Economic Guard" temporarily responsible for the safety and security of the mining area. Strive to resume production in the shortest possible time.

No one expected that Huaxi Company would go all out to complicate the problem of Han Yeping, and no one would have expected that Huaxi Group Company would take such a means to harm others and not benefit themselves, resulting in a predicament in the production and transportation of Han Yeping's most critical iron ore.

Judging from the current situation, due to the Huaxi Group's step-by-step concessions, the spoiled 20,000 miners will definitely gain an inch and put forward the demands and benefits they have already wanted to obtain countless times.

However, it was precisely because of the actions of the Huaxi Company that the company's reputation was so high that the existence of a Sichuan regiment that forcibly occupied the entire Daye mining area and wharf was no longer criticized, but on the contrary, it suddenly became necessary and reasonable.

In the face of the China Huaxi Group Corporation, which has seriously damaged the interests of the Chinese people, the extremely resentful Yue himself did not dare to dispatch gunboats and troops to carry out unscrupulous strikes and suppression as he did against the "hostile forces" in China's coastal areas.

At present, the Chinese Civil War, which is being vigorously instigated, has expended tremendous energy and financial resources, and the rising new forces in the northeast, north China, and southeast regions are waiting for the support and control of the various organs in China, and if an unplanned war breaks out because of the Han Yeping issue, it will disrupt the huge plan that the political axe has painstakingly formulated.

Lin Quanzhu, Minister to China who rushed from Yenching to Shanghai to attend the special session, gave the following instructions on behalf of the Cabinet with a rare stern attitude:

"The young Sichuan political axe and army with no political experience and diplomatic literacy are a stupid and barbaric huge military group, their military strength is second only to the Beiyang political axe that has not yet been divided, their commander Xiao Yimin is an extreme nationalist like a mad dog, and their base camp is in the remote inland Sichuan, no matter how strong our army is, it can't hit Sichuan, so it can't have a strong deterrent effect on Sichuan, so any military threat has no big effect on them......" Prior to this, the British, who had been challenged on the Tibetan issue, had also launched trade sanctions and military threats against Sichuan, but for Sichuan, which was self-sufficient and had successfully established its own industrial system, the trade sanctions and arms embargo did not achieve any effect, and the barbaric Sichuan border guards used this as an excuse to strengthen the military threat to the southern part of Tibetan Province, Burma, and India, so that the British political axe, which was deeply mired in the world war, was helpless, and had to decide to send representatives in the near future to resume negotiations with the Sichuan political axe...... .

"Therefore, the best countermeasure at present is: use the warship to threaten Daye Iron Ore Terminal, and at the same time, start negotiations with the Huaxi Group Company as soon as possible, and if possible, strive to acquire its equity in Hanyeping at an appropriate price, although this will bring us monetary losses, but it is of great political and overall strategic significance, and it will be better if we can completely destroy the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, which occupies an extremely important position in the minds of Chinese...... "Our ultimate goal is to completely suppress China's industrial development, We have been doing this for more than ten years, and the results are very great, but the outbreak of the world war and the rise of the United States have disrupted our pace, and the Chinese have also obtained rare opportunities for development, especially in the textile industry and steel industry, which are related to the important interests of the empire, and the Chinese have seized the opportunity to develop rapidly

"In terms of the iron and steel industry, we can't control the Qijiang Iron and Steel Plant far inside Sichuan, but its output is extremely limited, not a problem, the Sino-US joint venture Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Company, it will take at least two years to complete and put into operation, even if the output after the smooth operation, it is only an annual output of more than 100,000 tons, and we cannot pose a threat to our empire for the time being, therefore, in the short term, we cannot anger the Americans because of the Ma'anshan issue, but we must deeply remember the lessons of Ma'anshan.......

"Hurry up and go all out, 80% of the raw materials of Yaman Iron come from Hanyeping, and at present, Yawata Iron only has four and a half months of raw material inventory, so we must solve the production problem of Daye Iron Mine as soon as possible, and the coking coal in Pingxiang should be put in the second place, and Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant should simply let it disappear from the world."

"Gentlemen, for the sake of the future of the Great Empire, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, let's work together!"

On 11 August, Xiao Yimin, who was holding an emergency meeting on the nationwide telecommunications of Tang Jiyao, the overseer of Yunnan, and the imminent outbreak of the civil war in Hunan, received an urgent telegram from Wuhan from Luo Fa, president of the Huaxi Group Company.

"Haha, I said that I backed down and asked for open and honest negotiations with us."

Xiao Yimin's voice fell, and more than a dozen generals attending the meeting smiled happily.

During this period, everyone not only paid close attention to the situation in Hunan all night and made preparations for the war that was about to "go out of Sichuan to aid Hunan," but also had to bear the tremendous pressure brought about by the Han Yeping issue and the war against Hunan that might occur at any time; if Xiao Yimin had not persevered with confidence, I am afraid that most of the generals would have raised objections to Xiao Yimin's "economic adventure."

Sun Zhaoluan said with a smile: "In this way, the brothers can turn all their energy to Xiangxi!" ”

"Commander-in-chief, will I have a conspiracy?" Wang Lingji asked solemnly.

Xiao Yimin waved his hand:

"There must be a conspiracy, but in the near future, I will never dare to act rashly against us, now Yanjing is in chaos, the envoys of the great powers in China have gathered, and they all want to establish their own spokesmen, and the warships of Britain, France, Italy, the United States and other countries have also sailed to Tianjin, and a huge political struggle has begun, involving all the interests of the great powers in China, and this interest is far more important than the little Han Yeping.

"Secondly, I said that I passed the black. The southern revolutionary political axe supported by social and non-governmental organizations has already faced a split, and the political focus of Yumoto has to be shifted to Guangzhou, and in addition, Yumoto Yaman Steel, which depends entirely on Daye Iron Mine for its livelihood, has not had a supply of mineral sands for more than a month, and if the current chaotic situation at Daye Iron Mine continues, Hachiman Iron will stop production, which is why they are so anxious to ask for negotiations!

"In that case, let's talk about it, what we can't get, Xiao Yueben can't get it easily, let's take the opportunity to slaughter Xiao Yueben, withdraw our brothers, hand over all the long and short guns and ammunition to the newly formed workers' mine protection team, and throw Xiao Yueben a chaotic Daye iron mine, at least let Xiao Yueben not get a ton of iron ore within half a year!"

The generals suddenly realized, and at the same time sighed secretly at Xiao Yimin's cruelty.

Looking at the whole country, if anyone is changed, it is estimated that he will not make Xiao Yimin's crazy and intriguing move, but when I think about it carefully, I feel very relieved and enjoyable.
