Chapter Seventy-One: Employed by the Central Union
When Yu Dazhi and they helped Ma Datong to ambush, Zhao Zhi and his troops also stopped advancing, there was a coal mine called Changxin in the direction of their westward advance, according to Zhao Zhi's radio station received news from the Kuomintang, there were about 1,000 ** and Jin Sui army prisoners of war in the Changxin coal mine controlled by the army, ** and the Jin Sui army's troops learned the news, respectively, sent several groups of people to rescue these prisoners of war, but they all ended up in a chicken and egg fight.
After Zhongtong learned what Zhao Zhi did in Zhangwu County, he hit Zhao Zhi with the idea, since they can take down a county seat with dozens of people, can they also take down the Changxin Coal Mine and rescue the thousands of prisoners of war held there, in fact, rescuing the prisoners of war in the Changxin Coal Mine is not the ultimate goal of Zhongtong, the purpose of Zhongtong is to mix in the prisoners of war and belong to an intelligence officer who belongs to them, and Zhongtong did not inform Zhao Zhi of this situation.
Zhao Zhi didn't know anything about this coal mine called Changxin, all the information in his hands came from the one-sided words sent by the Zhongtong on the radio, and the scouts who were good at finding out the news in his hands were taken away by Yu Dazhi, so Zhao Zhi slowed down the speed of the march since he received the telegram from the Zhongtong, and Zhao Zhi did not intend to mix this matter with the Zhongtong, but he couldn't stand Hunter's nagging, especially after Hunter received 100 gold bars and a weapon order sent by the Zhongtong, he increased the intensity of lobbying, Zhao Zhi was so troubled that he was even talking about Changxin Coal Mine when he was sleeping.
The reason why so many prisoners of war were held in the Changxin Coal Mine was because the Changxin Coal Mine was more than ten times larger than the Caoling Coal Mine, and before the army attacked Shanxi, the Yue Ben Trading Company had already mastered the management of the Changxin Coal Mine, and used cheap local people to lay the road from the coal mine to the freight railway. Moreover, an infantry squadron and the Imperial Association Army were also stationed in Ping'an Town, which was only more than 30 miles away from the coal mine.
Zhao Zhi is now staying in the dry grass ridge that is still dozens of miles away from the Changxin Coal Mine, and the scouts in the early stage have been sent out, but the main task of the scouts is to respond to Yu Dazhi and them, and the Zhongtong has sent a team from Taiyuan to meet Zhao Zhi, and the information of the Changxin Coal Mine is on the body of the team, so Zhao Zhi simply waited for Yu Dazhi to respond to the team in the dry grass ridge.
"What do you think?" After dinner, Rowling had to drag Zhao Zhi to take a walk, speaking of which Rowling followed Zhao Zhi out of Shanghai for almost five months, in these five months, Rowling from unconvinced to Zhao Zhi, to curiosity, to shock, to now become friends like getting along, this concept changes fast enough, on the other hand, Zhao Zhi is not as defensive as Rowling at the beginning, this road looks very smooth, in fact, the pain, only those who often fall behind will know, Rowling A woman can follow a group of old men to climb mountains and wade through the water, she didn't complain of being tired, just by virtue of this, Zhao Zhi could also look at her differently.
"I'm thinking about that coal mine, those people in Zhongtong are smart, they know that they will go to Shanghai to find Hunter to force me" Zhao Zhi kicked the soil on the ground a little depressed, this Hunter is more and more fond of counting money, sooner or later this guy will sell himself at a price.
"Hahaha" Looking at Zhao Zhi's depressed face, Rowling's mood suddenly improved, since receiving the telegram from Zhongtong and Hunter, Zhao Zhi's face has no expression, which will be even more deflated, which makes Rowling understand Zhao Zhi more, it seems that this man is not a person who is not smiling, "You are mercenaries, since people pay for it, it is your employer, as a real mercenary, you naturally have to serve the employer when you get paid, isn't it like this." Rowling jumped a few times with her hands behind her back, turned to look at Zhao Zhi, and asked Zhao Zhi with a smile.
Zhao Zhi, who had been worried about this matter, listened to Rowling's words, and then it suddenly dawned on him, what he showed had always been the signboard of the mercenary, and the Zhongtong was able to send an order for gold bars and weapons to Hunter in a hurry, which was tantamount to hiring himself to deal with the affairs of the coal mine.
Zhao Zhi is most annoyed by the entanglement with the political party, giving up Zhangwu County, that is just using Zhangwu County as a bargaining chip in exchange for interests, the whole thing does not exist to the national political axe or compromise, Zhao Zhi does not resist the exchange of interests, he just doesn't want to become a weapon in the hands of politicians, and the Central Union itself is a secret agency, dealing with such an organization, you have to be a little careful when you speak, Zhao Zhi doesn't want to be calculated by them all day long.
"Why, people send you money, you are still worried, this job is accepted, but didn't Hunter tell the Central Command about the specific time to complete the task, even if it is a team that comes, the initiative is still in your hands, how to fight, when to fight, it's not all up to you, if their people are not convinced, then let them save people themselves, just to use them to test the firepower of the army in the coal mine, and I can also explore the way for you" Rowling looked up at Zhao Zhi with a sly face, and her eyes were shrewd.
Zhao Zhi rubbed Rowling's hair a little helplessly, this pretty exotic woman is so smart, she came up with a countermeasure in a blink of an eye, and this countermeasure is still very simple, it can be summed up in just one word - drag, according to Rowling, it is to grasp the initiative by yourself, as long as the initiative is in your own hands, those guys in the middle can only listen to themselves, even if they don't listen to their own command, then according to Rowling, send it directly to explore the way, anyway, it is not their own loss to die.
"Okay, don't worry, let's go back, there are too many bugs here, look at it, I have several bags on my hands" Seeing that Zhao Zhi's face eased a little, Rowling began to drag Zhao Zhi back, and stretched out his hand to Zhao Zhi, Zhao Zhi turned his head to look, it was true, Rowling's white arm was bitten by flying insects several big red envelopes, Zhao Zhi laughed vigorously, laughed at Rowling, laughed at him, he shouldn't forget to rub the ointment configured by Dazhi, Zhao Zhi ridiculed unscrupulously, and the angry Rowling pouted, picked up a handful of dry grass poles from the ground and kept chasing Zhao Zhi, and in the envious eyes of the mercenaries, the two of them chased and ran away without a trace.
