Chapter 81, subduing the Five Tiger Gates

At this time, the Hongkou District Government announced the list of personnel who went to Germany, and there was the Hongkou District of Shanghai, the Yellow Sea Fleet visited Germany, and the escort was the Seventh Fleet of the United States. At this time, the British warships will definitely retaliate, and there is no choice but to use money to pave the way, and the relationship between the US Navy and Shanghai Hongkou District at this time is also the best, it is simply the largest transportation company in Shanghai Hongkou District, and those US Navy can be said to be rich in oil.

Jiang Qiang is also making the final preparations for the Olympic Games, at this time Jiang Qiang is still very careful to do things, from time to time to Ace here to discuss the itinerary to Germany, and also to visit France, that is, for the dead workers of the First World War, from the outbreak of World War I on July 28, 1914, to the end of the war on November 11, 1918, Britain, France and other countries recruited 140,000 Chinese workers from Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu, Tianjin and other places for arduous war work, of which nearly seventy percent came from Shandong. In October 1917, Ma Chunling, a villager from Humeijian Village, Linqu County, and 11 villagers from the same village signed up to participate in the British recruitment of Chinese workers. According to the "Recruitment Contract", the workers will not only receive 12 yuan per month, but their families in China will also receive 10 yuan per month to support their families. This was a lot of income for ordinary Chinese at that time.

Many Chinese laborers in the service of the British army worked in France until 1920, while most Chinese in the service of the French army worked until 1922. Xu Guoqi said that it is certain that at least 3,000 Chinese have sacrificed their precious lives in Europe or on their way to Europe due to enemy artillery fire, plague and injuries. According to the recollection of the descendants of Chinese workers in Shangyu Village, Cheng Ling's grandfather, Bi Cuide, was killed by a residual bomb while cooking in the field after the war. The 140,000 Chinese laborers in the First War were not only battlefield coolies who paid sweat and blood, but also large-scale envoys of civilization.

After joining the Entente, it became the obligation of the Beiyang government to participate in the war, but there was a lot of anti-war in the country, and the equipment of the old army was backward at that time, so it was really unable to support the battle of World War I. Therefore, the Beiyang government decided to export laborers to Europe and join the First World War with labor instead of combat effectiveness, and these laborers became victims of the Beiyang government, and they were sold to Europe like "black slaves". But why did Europe agree to "work for war"? It turned out that the main battlefield of the First World War was Europe, and almost all the wars were "cannibalism" by Europeans, which coincided with the completion of the industrial revolution, and the war entered the current weapon era from cold weapons, which also made the casualties of the war increase unlimitedly. Under the consumption of the big "grinding plate" of war, how can the already sparse population of Europe support it, not to mention the front-line combat soldiers, the emptiness of the rear combat effectiveness has become the biggest problem, countless farmlands lack farmers to cultivate, and the lifeline of industry----- mining is also in a state of extreme shortage of labor.

This is especially true in France, which absorbed the vast majority of Chinese laborers and placed them in various mines for excavation work or for reclamation work on wasteland. In layman's terms, Chinese laborers are sent wherever they are "dirty". Since then, hundreds of thousands of Chinese laborers have worked harder, and at that time, some mines and workers were on the front line of the war, and they often had to face guns and artillery attacks from both sides, and the slightest carelessness would kill them. The French military department began to officially let Chinese laborers enter the military frontline, and many Chinese laborers were arranged to the production of military industry, some of them were engaged in the production of bullets, some were responsible for the manufacture of warships, and some were responsible for the maintenance of military railway lines or the maintenance of highways. As a result, the shadow of Chinese laborers can be seen everywhere in French military production.

Seeing the "strength" of the Chinese laborers, the military went one step further and began to arrange for Chinese laborers to transport military supplies for the French army under artillery fire, or transport casualties, or even help bury the dead soldiers. But the Chinese laborers are also ordinary people, they are just ordinary people, in the face of the battlefield such a Shura field, they are also very afraid, in the French labor, many laborers have died on the battlefield of the First World War, and some have seen the cruelty of the battlefield and suffer from mental illness, their situation is very miserable.

After the end of World War I, according to the original agreement, the Chinese laborers should return to their homeland with the ship. But at this time, countless French women stood up, and they jointly petitioned the French government to keep the Chinese laborers, because the hard work and perseverance of the Chinese have deeply impressed them, and they hope that the Chinese laborers can stay in France and help the devastated France to rebuild, not only the reconstruction of facilities, but also the reconstruction of the population. The French government, after seeing the petition, also very much agreed with this view, although France won the First World War, but at the expense of almost an entire generation of men, if not quickly find a large number of men to fill the population, then the decline of France's population is a sure thing. Through historical review, we should realize the greatness of these laborers, who earned a reputation for hard work for the Chinese in the world, and who raised old China into the victorious country with their own hands and lives, and who achieved a great cause with their mortal bodies. Chinese laborers went to the European battlefield to defend their homeland and country, and more than 20,000 people were buried in foreign countries. This is the reason why Jiang Qiang went to France.

Today, Huzi put the master's family and his own wife also came, Jiang Qiang was busy but had no choice but to come to the house in Xujiahui by himself, Jiang Qiang at this time did not bring them home meaning that he didn't want to disturb the balance of his home, so many years Jiang Qiang has never brought guests home is this meaning, Jiang Qiang came to Xujiahui when Huzi was already waiting outside the door, Jiang Qiang quickly let Huzi and his master's family into the house.

Du Changtian said, you are the little brother Jiang Qiang, Jiang Qiang said, Master Du, don't call it like that, in fact, I also belong to the Red Fist, that is, my master taught me for five years and didn't tell me my name, this is really ashamed, because at that time my master was injured by a gunshot wound, I am a doctor, no matter how dangerous I have to be him, at that time we were still living in a civilian area, there was no way to dig a cellar for my master to hide at that time I was only 12 years old, so I met my master, In the end, he made a nursing home for a large family, while calling me kung fu, a call was five years, and when I was sixteen years old, he said that he wanted to go back to Shaanxi, and I had no money, so my master left, and that year my father was killed by the Japanese, and my mother ran away with a soldier.

I live with my little brother, because my medical skills are very good, I absorbed the past to the group of Nanyang overseas Chinese in Shanghai, the anti-inflammatory drug allicin of that thing was invented by me, but in the past few years, the Germans have given me more than 50 million US dollars, I have given it to General Tang Juwu, I have been doing intelligence work, so I have been working in the Lihe Commercial Bank run by the Germans in Shanghai, this is also arranged by General Tang Juwu, and I am also their senior leader, because when we founded the army, there were less than 100 people. At that time, there was no way to push out that Lai San to be our shield, because we were too small at that time, and we were not an opponent even in the Green Gang, and there were so many foreign powers.

Jiang Qiang opened the secret room and took Du Changtian into the secret room and said, this is about 300 square meters, and this was the drug research room at that time. There is also the weapons research room, we also make guns and cannons here, the main thing is to make guns, and now all of them have moved to Myanmar, Du Yuntian said that your people in Hongkou District, Shanghai started here, and the training was on Chongming Island, you can ask Huzi to know how hard our training is, and this is also the beginning of us, at the beginning, even I was only ten people, and at that time it was to rob the Japanese and the British trading houses. Now that it has only been slowly developing, all the cases we have done in Shanghai are all done by Lai San anyway, haha, Master Du smiled, but it is not above board enough.

Master Du said, then you are the most remarkable, you give us hope for China, look at how many earth-shattering things you have done in recent years, especially in the Northeast, Mongolia, and Xinjiang are all for China. There is no way that Huaxia has been bullying those ghosts for a hundred years, the most important thing is that in 29 I rescued more than 100 scientists in the prison of the Japanese, and at that time, all the scientists kidnapped by Japan around the world were all in our name at once, and there was no money at that time, and finally took a risk to rob the Mitsubishi Bank of the Japanese, and that time almost robbed nearly 400 million US dollars, and we began to train troops in Shanghai, making guns and artillery, and the Shanghai Concession and the chairman of the committee all set their eyes mainly on Hunan. This gives us the opportunity to develop, and when we take Hongkou, Lai San is also developing well, and there are more than 20,000 troops, and there are the most advanced weapons, and we have been in Hongkou for nearly eight years.

Du Changtian said, you are really amazing, you have created miracles, Jiang Qiang said, just not bright enough. Let Master Du smile, Du Changtian said, don't find a stand-in. This is wisdom, you are the only one in the world who uses the thirty-six strategies of our ancestors to connect them, interlocking with each other, and tired the enemy, this time I came mainly to want you to make amends. Jiang Qiang said, Brother Yuntian, don't you just go back and don't say it, why did you still tell your master, is this a misunderstanding?

Du Changtian said, fortunately they didn't succeed this time, if they succeeded, we would be wiped out by Wuhumen, Nanjing would not let us go, and Shanghai would not let us go, little brother, I still want to thank you this time, Jiang Qiang said, who doesn't make mistakes, forget about the past, Du Changtian said, you can't just forget it, in fact, we also want to come to this martial arts event held in Shanghai, one is that we didn't receive an invitation, and the second is that Wuhumen encountered a crisis at that time, in fact, our sect is very small, Jiang Qiang said, It's not that we knew that Wuhumen was in the Northeast at that time, but I didn't expect you all to move here in Ma'anshan, Du Changtian said, how do you know, Jiang Qiang said, General Tang Juwu knew you, at that time, people called him Little Fifth Brother, and you also taught him boxing, plus your old Zheng Zheng Iron Bone, we also sent people to find you, but I don't know where you moved.

Du Changtian said, the current Tang Juwu general, Jiang Qiang said, yes, in 28 years, General Tang Juwu was still a battalion commander under Zhang Dashuai, that is, he found that the little devils disguised themselves as bandits and slaughtered a village, so he took a battalion to kill all the little devils, he and more than 100 people in that battalion fled to Shanghai, Zhang Dashuai wanted to hand him over to the Japanese before he escaped, at that time I happened to meet me to save Guo Xiaoliu, who is also the director of our intelligence bureau, so I and General Tang Juwu began to create an army, That battalion was our foundation, and there was also the training program that a group of old scientists wrote for us, and as a result, our army did not dare to say that it was the first in the world according to that training program, but no one dared to take the first place in front of our army.

Now our military academy is in accordance with the military outline plus our chief of general staff is also a big celebrity, he is General Jiang Baili, then General Wang Yizhe and General Huang Xiansheng, General Gao Zhihang, and most of them are soldiers from the Northeast, and finally we kidnapped Wang Yaqiao, and now he is the chief of general staff of Afghanistan, Du Changtian said, I came this time to apologize to you in person, and secondly, I also want to give the following disciples a good way out, Jiang Qiang thinks about it, so the senior brother is a little older, Just where on the saddle to help you take care of the affairs of the Wuhu Gate, and there is also the good seedlings that are found to stay, where to use as a stronghold, but also how about the intelligence station, all those small ones went to the military academy to study for three years, and the second senior brother also went to Tianjin to be Wang Tianmu's deputy after three months of training, Master Du, you can see that you are satisfied with this arrangement, and the senior brother will go to the agent to train for half a year, this is our rule here.

Du Changtian said, okay, just listen to the arrangement of the little brother, Jiang Qiang said, we should not spread today's words, and ask Master Du to keep it secret, I haven't been exposed yet, my reputation is very stinky in the German Lihe firm, because that is a secret service, where are the spies, and where are the Japanese spies, my main task is to monitor the spies in Shanghai, there is no way, the biggest gain this time is to take the Japanese who have been lurking in Shanghai for nearly 30 years, and they also know, haha, I also earned more than 300 million US dollars, my identity is that the people in the family don't know, and I don't dare to take you to the house, Master Du also asks for your understanding, Huzi will be my long-term follower, and wait for him to train out.

Du Changtian said, this time I still want to thank you, General Tang went to Myanmar to inspect the work these days, and when there is a chance to introduce Master Du, I will leave for Germany in a few days, this time the task is the deputy head of the Olympic Games, leading the team, our people here are simply busy, the most important thing is that the place is too big, much larger than the current chairman's jurisdiction, two countries, one is Afghanistan, one is Myanmar, and Heilongjiang and Outer Northeast, one Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet and Qinghai, There are people to manage here, that is, we have nearly two thousand county magistrates, our cadre school is the busiest school, as soon as it comes out, it is a county magistrate, and I will not invite you to dinner today, there is no way to hide your identity, Master Du is a million dollars here, and if you are an orphan, please take it in, we are their home here, and there is no problem with how much you collect.

Du Changtian said, I know that there are a lot of unavoidable things, Jiang Qiang said, and Huzi's mother also lives in your house, so that Huzi will rest assured of work, Du Changtian said, little brother, you can rest assured, Jiang Qiang said, this is your daughter Leng Xin. Du Changtian said, how do you know his name, Jiang Qiang said, it was your daughter who told General Tang Juwu, Du Changtian laughed, Jiang Qiang took out a watch, a pistol, and a pair of bracelets to Leng Xin and said, This is a wedding gift from your junior brother, be careful, Du Changtian knew at a glance that the pair of jade bracelets was an old object, not an ordinary product, so he said, Leng Xin, you will accept it, right?
