After more than ten days of intense disassembly, the things of Xinjia Machinery Factory near the Huxi Manufacturing Bureau have basically been packed, and now they are waiting for someone from the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce to transport the things away.

In the evening, Fang Zhidong, the manager of Xinjia Machinery Factory, came to the factory alone, touching the machinery and equipment that had been in the state of parts, although the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce paid a large sum of money, enough to ⊥ Fang Zhidong's family to spend a carefree time in Hong Kong, but Fang Zhidong was still reluctant to see everything.

Fang Zhidong sighed slightly, his face was a little ugly, after all, Xinjia Machinery Factory was his hard work for more than ten years, and now he said that it was gone, and he couldn't accept it emotionally for a while.

Fang Zhidong graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and abroad, he excelled in his studies, but he was still discriminated against. The weakness of the motherland made him fully realize that only when the motherland is strong can overseas travelers not be bullied by others. After returning to China, he devoted all his family resources to respond to the former prime minister's proposal to save the country through industry, and in ten years, his factory started from scratch, from manufacturing simple nuts to later bearings, to successfully copying the latest foreign motors and machine tools, etc.

Among the hundreds of manufacturing factories and enterprises in Shanghai, Fang Zhidong has the most complete factory categories.

Just when Fang Zhidong fell into reminiscence, Li Kun, the actual person in charge of the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce and the deputy head of the militia group, walked into the factory and bowed his hand to Fang Zhidong from a distance: "Mr. Fang, please"

Li Kun still acted with a strong Jianghu style, Fang Zhidong also simply arched his hand, pointed to the machine and asked: "Shopkeeper Li, now that the machine has been disassembled and packed, and the war is approaching Huxi, when will you start shipping?" ”

"I'm going to leave tonight overnight"

Li Kun took out a cigarette case, handed one to Fang Zhidong, lit it for himself, spit out a puff of smoke, looked at the machines piled up like a hill in the factory, and then said to Fang Zhidong:

"Some time ago, we mainly transported the machinery and equipment dismantled from the factories in the new urban area and the eastern and northern districts of the public concession, followed by Zhabei and Huxi, which belonged to the third batch... Manager Fang, I didn't say you, you are a good business, why do you have to go to Hong Kong? I heard that Hong Kong is not a good place, gangs are rampant, ticket kidnapping and extortion occur from time to time, and the white people even regard us Chinese as pigs and dogs, and oppress them arbitrarily...... Are the British so easy to serve? ”

Li Kun's tone was a little sour, and he was eager to describe Hong Kong, a British colony, as a place of sin and depravity

Although nearly 10,000 Jews have been relocated (mainly from Ningbo Port in the later period) and tens of thousands of skilled workers have been hired from Shanghai, and thousands of students have gone to Maoliangwu and the surrounding areas to resume classes after September, but there is a lack of excellent business managers.

If Fang Zhidong, who has excellent ability, can be fooled to Maoliangwu and become a professional manager, it will be a very beneficial thing for the entire Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce.

Fang Zhidong coughed lightly, and his face became more and more ugly. Originally, the factory that sold himself cheaply was already cutting his flesh, but now listening to Li Kun's words, Fang Zhidong's face was tense, and his lips were about to bite and bleed.

Seeing that Fang Zhidong didn't react, Li Kun decided to make his meaning clear. Mao Liangwu really lacks such an excellent manager as Fang Zhidong, and the more time drags on, the more the war spreads, the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have fallen, and the disadvantages of lack of management talents will be revealed.

"Manager Fang, although your factory has been sold to us, this is your hard work after all, I think you are willing to let it continue to grow in your hands Moreover, as an excellent entrepreneur, you need a platform to display your talents. If you don't dislike it, our Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce is willing to hire you as our factory director. In a factory rebuilt in another place, you have the final say on everything, how about it? ”

Li Kun was full of smiles, with full sincerity, and put on a posture of a corporal of courtesy.

Fang Zhidong waved his hand and refused in a cold tone: "Thank you Mr. Li for taking a fancy to me, but the Hong Kong side has already been all sorted, and our family will transfer to Ningbo to Hong Kong in two days." ”

Fang Zhidong was able to develop his own enterprise into the largest machinery manufacturing enterprise in Shanghai, and he was not without views on the development of the current situation.

The flames of war between China and Japan are getting more and more intense, and the smoke of war may be ignited in any part of China. Hong Kong is a British colony, and although the Royal Navy, which used to be able to fight on both oceans, has declined, the British still have the largest number of colonies in the world. The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the remnants of the empire that have not set for nearly a hundred years are far from being able to deal with Japan, a small country.

It is important to know that the current world is still controlled by Britain and France, and since the formation of the Versailles system, no one has dared to challenge its authority. Although the United States made a lot of gains in the last European war, it was only at the economic level, and it had little impact on the pattern of the world.

Li Kun was not discouraged, he was still doing his best efforts, and persuaded bitterly: "Manager Fang, let me tell you the truth, Commander Wu of the new Second Division predicts that sooner or later the Japanese will turn against the British, or in three or four years, they will send troops to attack Hong Kong, and they will also stir up the sea and rivers in Southeast Asia." Hong Kong will not be peaceful forever, you take your family to Hong Kong, and then become a slave of the country, you might as well follow us back to Maoliangwu to develop national industry."

Listening to Li Kun's words, Fang Zhidong scoffed and sneered: "Xie Lu Xie Mr. Li is kind, I know this matter in my heart, and Mr. Lao doesn't bother."

The Japanese archipelago lacked resources and relied heavily on sea transportation, while the European and American powers, with their vast colonies, controlled the supply of energy and raw materials in the world. Once Japan turns its face with the Western world, it will be choked by Britain, France, the United States, and other countries in the supply of strategic resources, and in Fang Zhidong's view, it will be tantamount to suicide.

In fact, Fang Zhidong does not understand the national inferiority of the country of Japan, and only by beating it hard will it behave like a dog. Before suffering setbacks, he is as fierce and cunning as a wolf, ruthless, and dares to face all challenges.

Two years later, the Japanese army ventured north into the Soviet Union, and the Japanese army was severely taught a lesson by the powerful tanks and artillery groups of the Soviet Union, so that they hid the fangs of the wolf and obediently put away their ambitions for the Far East and Siberia possessed by the Red Soviet Union. Since China had no industry, and most importantly, no oil, it could not support Japan's expansion, so the ambition of slandering the rich resources held by Europe and the United States could no longer be suppressed, which led to the military operation of the Japanese army to move south to occupy Southeast Asia.

After a closer look, Fang Zhidong was just an industrialist, and even Chiang Kai-shek and other central officials were only half-aware of these international strategic considerations, so how could Fang Zhidong see the wolf ambitions of the Japanese?

Fang Zhidong's talent, Wu Ming admired it very much, so he told Li Kun to persuade him with good words, but he didn't expect that people were very determined.

Li Kun saw that he couldn't convince Fang Zhidong, so he sighed secretly, and said in his heart that this time he had completed the task that Wu Ming had not explained. Turning his head and seeing that the worker in charge of carrying had already walked into the factory, Li Kun waved his hand depressedly and ordered loudly: "Start moving when you are ready, and strive to complete all the loading in the early morning, and the ship will sail to Zhejiang early tomorrow morning."

At this moment, the two large iron gates of the factory were pushed open from the outside, and several men in Zhongshan suits walked in, with angry faces, and then a large group of people in green shirts and short coats blocked the door.

Li Kun, who walked out of the factory to breathe, was a little surprised, and was wondering what these people were, when the man with a flat head and a round face who was about thirty years old had already focused his eyes on Li Kun, and said with a sneer: "What are you all busy with?" Now that the factory is owned by the state, no one will leave immediately."

"Toad yawns, what a big breath"

Li Kun gestured to the officers and soldiers of the militia who were holding guns opposite each other behind him, signaling to be ready, and then strode forward and shouted: "This is a private place, you can't be presumptuous."

The middle-aged man with a cold face suddenly took out a handful of snatches from his waist, and quickly pushed it to Li Kun's forehead, and his voice was sharp: "If you move again, Lao Tzu will shoot you in the head."

"Who are you?"

Li Kun's hand was still on the gun magazine on his waist, and his face was extremely ugly. With mental arithmetic or not, his movements were a beat slower, and he was restrained.

The middle-aged man smiled gloomily, and the gun in his hand shook: "Be honest, otherwise, this gun doesn't recognize people"

Li Kun froze: "Which way is my brother from?" If there is any offense in the past, please make it clear, and our Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce can also solve it in accordance with the rules of the road."

The round-faced man snorted lightly: "If it weren't for the fact that your Chamber of Commerce is related to the new Second Division Commander Wu, Lao Tzu would have let you eat a gun a long time ago."

Li Kun narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the person like a beast: "If you have the ability, you will shoot me." If you don't have the ability, quit the road. ”

"You-"

The middle-aged man was so angry that he was about to pull the trigger, but a cold voice sounded outside the door, which made people feel chills when they heard it: "Lijun, you are still so impulsive, quickly put the gun away"

As the group of people in green shirts and horse coats blocking the door dispersed, several more people walked in outside the gate, and the middle one had a somewhat haggard face, bloodshot eyes, and a cruel and cold look, like a jackal hidden in the dark.

Ordered everyone to put away the guns, the man turned around and said to Li Kun in a gentle voice: "Contemptible Dai Li, when the word Yunong was in Mao Liangwu before, I didn't have the opportunity to see Li San in charge, it's a pity, but fortunately, today I finally got what I wanted, and I am an old acquaintance with all the people of your Chamber of Commerce, Master Wu, if you can, please send someone to invite him here, and say that Dai Li has something important to discuss."

In recent years, Li Kun has gone south and north for the development of Mao Liangwu, and Li Kun is no longer the leader of the bandits closed in the mountains, and he has long heard of the name of Dai Li. Dai Li's visit to Mao Liangwu before, although Li Kun did not meet Dai Li, this did not affect his understanding of Dai Li, and he was busy sending his subordinates to Lu, and then carefully received Dai Li's party and walked towards the factory office.

By the time Wu Ming arrived, it was already early in the morning.

Walking into the empty office and seeing Dai Li, who had a warm face, Wu Ming smiled and arched his hand at Dai Li: "Brother Yunong, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Dai Li's eyes were like electricity, and he looked directly at Wu Ming.

The round-faced man jumped out suddenly, stretched out his hand to Wu Ming, and scolded: "Division Commander Wu, the latest order of the Military Commission is that the factories and enterprises in Shanghai must be unconditionally relocated to Chongqing, Chengdu, Kunming and other places in the southwest. ”

This person is not an outsider, it is Zhao Lijun, the leader of the action group of the Beilu Mobile Army Corps under the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Action Committee co-founded by Dai Li and Du Yuesheng.

The original intention of the establishment of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Action Committee was to set up an armed guerrilla force of 10,000 men in Shanghai and its surrounding areas to cooperate with the regular army in combat, to contain and block the Japanese army near the four suburbs of Shanghai, and to cooperate with the security forces to strictly guard against and eliminate the harassment activities of enemy spies and traitors.

Dai Li personally served as the secretary general of the committee, controlled all the military power in the secretary's office, established a huge organization, and took this opportunity to expand the secret service greatly, and Zhao Lijun, the leader of the action group, also began to expand rapidly, and no longer took Wu Ming in his eyes.

Although the new Second Division had a brilliant record, while waiting, Zhao Lijun made up his mind to give Wu Ming a dismount first, so as to facilitate the later actions, and at the same time win Dai Li's appreciation.

As soon as Zhao Lijun's words came out, Wu Ming's face changed drastically.

The secret service led by Dai Li is of the same nature as the Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty, with a low position and a low position, according to his position, even Dai Li himself does not dare to be so presumptuous in front of Wu Ming, who has been promoted to lieutenant general. Now one of Dai Li's subordinate action team leaders dared to reprimand him loudly, which made Wu Ming angry.

Wu Ming frowned, ignored Zhao Lijun, turned to Dai Li, and asked unhappily: "Director Dai, what's going on?" Where did a mad dog growl? ”

Dai Li smiled awkwardly, turned his head sideways and scolded Zhao Lijun: "Get out of the way" and then shook hands with Wu Mingxiao and apologized.

Zhao Lijun shrank his head in sneer, his disrespect to Wu Ming was originally relying on Dai Li's power, and now seeing Dai Li's anger, he had to walk out of the room in frustration.
