"Mr. General Manager, there is one thing I want to make clear first." With enough momentum, Tang Xu sat up straight and said in a sincere tone of 120,000 points.

"We are here to seek money, not to kill people, as long as our conditions are met, then there is no need to worry. We do big things, and we don't have to worry about credibility at all. The total annihilation of the cavalry wing and the robbery and killing of Tang Yulin were all done by us. Mr. General Manager should understand that it is absolutely not okay for people who do great things to have no reputation. ”

Lord Anderson and the foreign adults behind him were stupid, it turned out to be these fathers! In their hearts, the last hope of relying on the status of foreigners in China to solve this matter has completely abandoned.

Lord Anderson was about to speak, but Tang Xu stopped him, and he said again: "Mr. General Manager, you don't need to speak, just listen to me." ”

At this moment, Lord Anderson has no temper at all, what shame, what pride, did that thing ever exist?

Tang Xu continued: "We need some of your equipment, here is the list. As he spoke, he shoved a piece of paper towards Lord Anderson.

Lord Anderson bent over, took a step forward, took the list and looked at it, and his fat face turned a little whiter.

A complete set of equipment for the power plant, a complete set of equipment for the printing plant, forty cigarette machines, as well as the corresponding cigarette cutters and all other related equipment.

After reading the list, Lord Anderson didn't dare to say anything, he looked at Tang Xu with a blank eye.

Tang Xu said: "Also, you provide vehicles for the transportation of these equipment. In addition, you have to provide 1,000 tons of gasoline and diesel, 100,000 tons of coal, and you will also solve the transportation. ”

Lord Anderson was blinded, and he was blinded not by anything else, but by doubting that he was in a dream, and that his head was not enough.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Lord Anderson had come back to his senses a little, Tang Xu followed: "In the end, you can pay us another fifteen million." ”

This time, Lord Anderson was not blind, but fainted, and after a long time, he said, "Sir, I can't do this thing." ”

Tang Xu smiled and said, "I know." After a pause, he said: "I will give you seven days, if there is no reply after seven days, then in an hour I will kill a person, and after killing people, I will blow up the machine and the factory." Once this happens, then we will launch a full-scale retaliation against you, we will attack your cigarette factories and flue-cured tobacco factories in Qingdao, assassinate your people working in China, and the Chinese you hire to work for you, and even the merchants who sell your cigarettes. ”

Finally, Tang Xu said: "Remember, there is no room for bargaining, you only have two choices: yes or no." ”

After the talk, Lord Anderson, along with the foreign adults, was sent out of the British Cigarette Factory. When they went out, the workers who had gathered near the gate followed suit.

―――――――

How shocking this incident is, I don't know.

As soon as Lord Anderson returned, the U.S. Consul General in Pingjin, Mr. Cousins, the British Consul General in Pingjin, Mr. Peters, and the senior officials of the Ministry of Industry in the British Concession and the senior management of the company in Tianjin all gathered together to urgently discuss the matter.

At the same time, seven radio stations were launched at the same time to communicate and consult with the company's board of directors and relevant personnel around the world.

Soon, the bottom line on this matter came out, that is, it was necessary to avoid the kidnappers blowing up the cigarette factory, and any other decisions had to be made on this basis.

The reason for this decision is, of course, out of interest considerations.

First of all, it is the value of the fixed assets of the cigarette factory itself.

The cigarette factory was built in 1919 and took eight years to complete, with a total investment of more than 15 million at that time. Today, due to a large amount of additional investment year by year, the fixed assets of the cigarette factory have exceeded 30 million.

If it is blown up, the investment in the 30 million fixed assets will only be superficial, and the impact will only be temporary.

The annual profit of the cigarette factory is more than 10 million, and if it is bombed, it will inevitably be rebuilt, and the reconstruction takes time, and the profit lost during this period is not only 30 million.

And that, perhaps, is not the most important thing.

The cigarette factories of Chinese capital have been competing with them, and one of the fiercest business battles has been between them and Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company.

This war lasted from 1915 to 1930.

During this period, they suffered heavy losses, especially during the May Day massacre, when the company's sales in China plummeted by 90 percent.

However, the smoke of the fierce battle with Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company had not yet dissipated, and other Chinese capital flocked to the company, so that they had to absorb Chinese capital into the company.

Nowadays, through various means, the Chinese capital is limited to the low-cost cigarette market, but if the largest cigarette factory in China is blown into ruins, there is no doubt that the cigarette factory of Chinese capital will inevitably take advantage of the situation.

Moreover, if this matter is not handled well, it will inevitably arouse the nationalist sentiments of the Chinese, and the cigarette factories of Chinese capital will have to rise even more.

At that time, I just want to cry without tears.

Those kidnappers saw this clearly, so they were so fearless.

――――――

Showa 8, January 18th.

This is a story that makes Sakurai Takenao feel heartbroken, and he will never forget this story for the rest of his life.

This is no longer a shame for him alone, but a shame for the entire Imperial Army.

This shame was brought by him.

A cavalry wing was completely annihilated, which was an unprecedented defeat after the rise of the military movement of the Great Empire.

From January 28 to today, March 29, more than two months have passed, but every time he wakes up in a dream, he is covered in cold sweat.

That shame is indescribable.

He is not afraid of punishment, he is not afraid of death, what punishment is he afraid of? He was willing to disembowelment to thank the emperor if he could, but he didn't have the right to die now.

Wearing a dark samurai uniform, Takeshi Sakurai sat on his knees with his legs bent, and on the small table in front of him, a katana was placed horizontally.

Suddenly, there were two soft taps outside the sliding door.

Takeshi Sakurai opened his eyes and said, "Come in." ”

The door opened, and the adjutant walked in and said, "General, Takeda Daisa asks to see you." ”

Sakuto Takeda was the head of the secret service of the Mogawa Mansion, and was in charge of intelligence work throughout North China.

Takeda Sakuto came in, knelt down opposite Sakurai Takenao, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency General, something has happened." ”
