Chapter 197: Negotiation

On the fifteenth day of July, the swallows and goblins arrived in Lijiatuo.

Li Jiatuo is twenty miles southwest of Jiming Mountain, and it is the first place where Liang Guiying dug tunnels. Here, of course, is Liang Ye's strongest fortress village.

It used to be, and now it is naturally not to be said, the absolute unity of the people, is a steel fortress without a trace of impurities.

Now, Li Jiatuo is the center of the Black God Army, and its headquarters is located here.

That night, Liang Ye and Yanzi slept on a kang.

The lights went out, the room was dark, Yanzi gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Sister, he wants to come back and get married." ”

Liang Guiying lay on her back, did not speak, and through the faint moonlight, the swallow saw a glimmer of crystal tears.

With a long sigh in his heart, the swallow moved, leaned over, and hugged Liang Guiying into his arms.

―――――― county seat is very quiet.

The ruffians and hooligans have become good people who have behaved well, and those who have not become good people have become dead people.

Walking on the streets of the city, everyone looks happy and serene, regardless of whether they are adults or children, and they all have kind smiles on their faces.

It doesn't seem to be China here, it shouldn't be China.

In Thomas's eyes, this should be the affluent town of America, and in the eyes of Lord Anderson and his three lovely princesses, it should be an idyllic home in Scotland.

In fact, even their small town and hometown do not see such peace and tranquility. They don't know that here, the unhappy people are gone, and the ones who stay are happy.

Here, there are no irrelevant idlers. Without permission, outsiders cannot enter the county seat. Most of those who came secretly were sent to the brick factory for labor reform.

The county seat is not big, but there are only 10,000 people, as long as there is no exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and local ruffians and hooligans intrude, the people in the city can live a life that is not rich, but can live without worrying about food and clothing.

After the Black God Army came, they almost didn't charge any taxes, they only collected taxes on transactions of a certain scale, and even the taxes on these transactions were more than half lower than before.

It is conceivable that the Black God Army will never do anything from now on, and the county seat of Xiongxian County will also become a blissful land. What's more, the Black God Army is not doing nothing. As soon as they came, they renovated the streets and opened factories...... And all of this, naturally, have to be recruited.

Tax Reduction, Tax Exemption, Recruitment ...... All this naturally led to the artificial rise, which in turn promoted the prosperity of commerce.

What's more, if life in the countryside is better, the market in the county will naturally prosper.

So, although it is not a long time, the cycle of good surnames has been established. Although the life of the common people is far from being rich, the hope of a good life is just around the corner.

There is so much suffering for the common people that the slightest change will make them feel like they have arrived in heaven.

Walking down the street, Thomas and Lord Anderson had their eyes full of incredulity.

"Dad, Don, they're amazing!" Lord Anderson's eldest daughter, Alice, said excitedly.

Last time, Tang Xu and the people of Jimingshan made an excellent impression on Lord Anderson and his family, although they were bandits and robbed things, they were polite bandits and did not make people afraid in the slightest.

It was precisely because of the good impression of the last time that Lord Anderson took this mission as a vacation, and brought his three daughters who wanted to visit the place again.

Lord Anderson nodded, he agreed with his daughter's opinion, and said, "Yes, Alice, my daughter, you are right, Don They are indeed amazing. ”

Thomas agrees with this.

Without the Black God Army, this would not be possible here, and what is even more remarkable is the time it took for the Black God Army to arrive here, and all this change took less than three months.

It's amazing!

They were wandering around, when suddenly Alice exclaimed, "Don, dear Don! ”

By the time they stopped and turned around, Alice was already galloping out.

Rub the oil, I like it! However, Tang Xu is a gentleman, at least on the surface, he is polite in the face of the surging enthusiasm of the beautiful Alice.

They were all old acquaintances, and the three of them greeted each other like gentlemen, and Lord Anderson said, "Mr. Tang, you have finally shown up." ”

Tang Xu smiled: "Lord Anderson, I'm sorry, I'm not in Baoding, as soon as I received the letter, I rushed back immediately." ”

"Okay, dear Tang, don't talk about this, you are the landlord, you have to invite us to dinner." Putting his arm around Tang Xu's shoulders, Lord Anderson said happily.

Tang Xu was exquisite, greeting Lord Anderson, and he didn't forget any of the others, even the little cutie Sissi took care of it.

After a lively lunch, and then a short rest, Tang Xu invited Lord Anderson and Thomas to come to the courtyard under the grape trellis for tea.

The trellises are verdant and green, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, like a little bit of gold.

Taking a sip of tea, Lord Anderson said, "Don, our company wants to cooperate with you. ”

Anderson knew that these people were different from ordinary businessmen and different from politicians, they were straightforward, kept their promises, and would immediately retaliate brutally if they broke the contract.

So, he also went straight to the point, as soon as he came up.

Tang Xu said: "Lord Anderson, Mr. Thomas, we are very grateful for your kindness, I am entrusted by the big boss to solemnly state to the two of you, in the future, our Black God Army will do our best to work closely with your company, and even with your two political axes." ”

When Lord Anderson heard this, he was overjoyed, and he asked, "Mr. Tang, what you said is true?" ”

Tang Xu nodded and said, "Our Black God Army has always said the same, if you don't agree, if you do, you have to do it to death." ”

It was unexpected, and both Lord Anderson and Thomas were overjoyed.

Before they came, the board had made an assessment, and as a result, no one had any confidence in the matter. The Board of Directors believes that the Black God Army is a group of patriots and their actions cannot be viewed solely in terms of commercial interests.

Obviously, Tang Xu knew what they were coming for.

Lord Anderson said, "Don, to tell you the truth, what we are most worried about is that you will lower the price of cigarettes. ”

Shaking his head, Tang Xu said, "Lord Anderson, your worries are unnecessary, why are we reducing the price?" If your company is me, then we will definitely reduce the price, but you are not, you are not our enemy. Since we are not enemies, why should we have money and not make money? ”

Tang Xu's words really made Lord Anderson and this Mr. Thomas excited.

"Mr. Tang, you're so right!" Thomas's face flushed with excitement and he nodded repeatedly.

Tang Xu said: "After defeating Yue himself, our Black God Army will fight against the Nanjing political axe. At that time, we will need the support of the British and American political axes. ”

Lord Anderson and Thomas glanced at each other, and the joy in their hearts was even greater. This time, they came to the harvest, and the harvest was really not ordinary.

Lord Anderson said, "Don, you are our friend. To friends, it is to help. ”

Tang Xu said: "Lord Anderson, Mr. Thomas, we will follow the price of cigarettes in the future, and we will never increase the production volume, just the scale of these forty machines." ”

Lord Anderson and Thomas's eyes were about to bulge out, and the two of them stared at Tang Xu with good eyes. After swallowing a mouthful of spit for a long time, Lord Anderson asked, "Mr. Tang, I don't know how you want us to help?" ”

Of course, it is impossible for pie to fall from the sky, after Lord Anderson asked, he and Thomas both stared at Tang Xu nervously, for fear that Tang Xu would say something they couldn't do.

Tang Xu said: "Lord Anderson, Mr. Thomas, I just said that after beating me away, we have to fight against the Nanjing Political Axe Division, and we have to fight against the Nanjing Political Axe Division, it is useless to just say it with our mouths, we have to rely on our strength to fight with Nanjing." What is Strength? Strength is guns, but in this regard, we are too far behind, so we have to produce our own weapons. ”

After hearing this, both Lord Anderson and Thomas widened their eyes in astonishment. After a while, Thomas asked, "Mr. Tang, do you want to buy equipment for making weapons?" ”

Tang Xu nodded and said, "It's not just the equipment, but also the technology." ”

Lord Anderson said, "Don, this is difficult. ”

Tang Xu smiled: "I know you have this ability. After a pause, he added: "We won't be strong, and we don't have that much money, so we want to buy some cutting-edge technology." ”

It is easy to buy weapons, as long as you have money, you can buy as many advanced as you want, but buying equipment, especially technology, which is extremely strict in every country.

Tang Xu said again: "I also know some regulations in this regard, but selling them to us is not the slightest danger to Britain and the United States." ”

This one, too, Lord Anderson and Thomas looked at each other again.

Lord Anderson said, "Don, we can't be the master of this, we have to go back and ask for instructions." ”

Tang Xu said: "Don't worry. ”

――――― Zhangjiakou, Chasui Resistance and the General Headquarters of the Allied Army.

In the courtyard, looking at the direction of Nanjing, Feng Yuxiang's brows were deeply locked, and the tiger's eyes burned with anger.

After the signing of the Tanggu Agreement, the Great Wall War of Resistance in the narrow sense has ended, but the War of Resistance against the Great Wall in the broad sense has not ended.

After the Great War in the Central Plains, Feng Yuxiang lived in seclusion in Mount Tai, and learned that the Nanjing political axe made peace with Yue himself, and appraised the traitorous agreement, he felt humiliated, so he rushed to Zhangjiakou, raised his arms, and called on the old department to expand some reserve troops left in Chahar by more than 20 armies.

Soon, a large number of Northeast Volunteers who had retreated from Rehe joined their commands, and many old units of the Northwest Army, bandit associations, and even local Mongolian armed forces also came one after another.

For a time, 100,000 people gathered.

On 19 May, Feng Yuxiang announced the establishment of the Chasui Anti-Japanese Allied Army, appointed himself chairman of Chahar, and appointed Tong Linge as acting chairman.

Feng Yuxiang was appointed commander-in-chief of the allied forces, General Fang Zhenwu was appointed commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and General Ji Hongchang was appointed commander-in-chief of the former enemy.

As soon as the Allied forces were formed, they began to actively prepare for war and prepare to take the initiative.
