Chapter 410: Meritorious Shock
The rectification of Tianjin is not a day's work, and there are many prostitutes in the eight concessions, smokehouses, casinos, and prostitutes, as well as silver trumpets that specialize in printing money, and businesses that specialize in harming the Chinese are everywhere.
Fortunately, Xie Tian quickly cut through the mess, and took advantage of the People's Liberation Army to enter the city and take back the jurisdiction of the concessions of various countries in one fell swoop, and Shen Xiang will be much easier to clean up these messy businesses in the future.
The tobacco house is the first target that Shen Xiang wants to kill, and if you want to eradicate the smoke house, you have to start from the source.
After the Japanese occupied Tianjin, they controlled the distribution channels of opium, and the three Japanese trading companies in the Japanese concession, namely the Nakamaru Two Brothers Pharmacy, the Matsumoto Pharmacy, and the Nantokuyi Pharmacy, were the three Japanese trading companies with the name of pharmacies.
Shen Xiang was not polite to them at all, and directly sent troops to seal down these three, destroyed hundreds of tobacco houses overnight, and ordered all tobacco houses, casinos, flower clubs, and poetry fan clubs in the whole territory to stop business.
The flower will be similar to the Mark Six lottery, and the poetry fan will be a more hidden way of gambling, ostensibly guessing the poetry fan, but in fact the jackpot is huge.
Shen Xiang, as the boss of Hongmen, is very clear about these rivers and lakes, and his shots are accurate.
Tianjin needs to pull out these tumors from the roots, Shen Xiang used some abnormal means, but it can't be a simple one-size-fits-all, so Shen Xiang set up a special withdrawal camp to concentrate these smokers and gamblers for withdrawal.
The site of the quit camp was the headquarters and barracks of the garrison army built by the Japanese army in Haiguang Temple, and the first task of the smokers and gamblers who were forced to participate in the quit was to tidy up the ruins and rebuild the barracks for their own habitation.
Regarding the establishment of the abstinence camp, some people applauded and some scolded his mother, but Shen Xiang ignored it.
The Japanese regarded Tianjin as their base camp in North China, and the concessions of various countries also adopted a barbaric plundering method in Tianjin, which has ruined Tianjin for so many years.
However, in good conscience, these powers also laid a good foundation for Tianjin's economic construction, and of course, their main purpose was to plunder China more and faster.
Tianjin's metallurgical industry, iron and steel industry, shipbuilding industry, machinery industry, and textile industry are all relatively developed, and now these industries have simply and rudely turned into public-owned enterprises in the liberated areas, and the fruits of what those business owners have plundered in China for years or even decades have all been returned to China overnight.
The business owners are crying for their fathers and mothers, this is another wave of diplomatic turmoil, and it is estimated that the old man in Chongqing should lift the table again.
You're a fucking bandit, and you've already started to rob it.
The old man was really wronged in this matter, and Shen Xiang presided over this matter.
Well, Shen Xiang learned from Xie Tian.
You have taken back all the concessions in this way, why should I show mercy to these foreign capitalists who aim at plundering?
Xie Tian's mind is not on these things at all, Pang Yuan has said, you don't need to worry about money, you fight your battle well.
Thank God that all he's worried about now is the war.
With the liberation of Tianjin, the tank division and the First Air Force have freed up their hands to support Fu Zuoyi's operation, but the base of the First Air Force is still set up in Tianjin, and the divisions are stationed at Dongjuzi Airport and Jinghai Airport respectively.
Langfang has been successfully recovered, and under the shameless fighting style of the Japanese army, a certain number of casualties have been caused.
Fu Zuoyi had already swung his troops north, advanced the battle line to the Changping Lugou Bridge Summer Palace, and surrounded Beiping from three directions: east, west and south.
It seems to have returned to the state of 37 years ago, only this time it was the Chinese army that displayed troops outside the Lugou Bridge, and it was the 6th Division of the Japanese First Army in North China that was besieged.
At the same time, because of the liberation of Tianjin, the two divisions that came from the Japanese mainland and the Kwantung Army to support them diverted to Shanhaiguan and stayed at Shanhaiguan, where they were stationed in place and waited for the next order.
The transport formation escorted by the Japanese aircraft carrier Taka was originally planned to arrive at Tanggu Port, but after receiving the news of Tianjin's "loss," it was ordered to divert to Jinzhou Port and put down the army, and then quickly turned back to the Japanese mainland, and did not dare to make any more stops in the Bohai Sea.
Not long ago, the Japanese regarded the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea as their inland sea, but now the situation is completely different.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has already occupied Tianjin and most of North China, Bohai Bay is no longer a safe haven for Japanese warships, and with the combat capability of the Great Eagle aircraft carrier formation, it really does not dare to fight hard against the PLA fighting on a land-based basis.
The aircraft carrier Okaka was simply rebuilt from the Kasuga Maru cruise ship, and it did not even have a ship island, the upper deck was only a 172-meter flight deck, and the hangar could only carry 27 aircraft, with a full load displacement of only more than 17,000 tons, and a maximum speed of only a pitiful 21 knots.
If this aircraft carrier is blocked in the Bohai Bay by one or two hundred planes of Xie Tian, it seems that there is no other choice but to be sunk.
In fact, after the liberation of Tianjin, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) air force units have stepped up their flight patrols over the Bohai Bay, and the Great Eagle was fortunate to be rerouted to Jinzhou as soon as possible.
After cleaning up the remnants of the Japanese army on the outskirts of Tianjin, Xie Tian had already sharpened his sword facing Beiping.
It was now less than a month since his appointment with General Stilwell at Chengtianmen, and if all went well, he would be able to invite Stilwell to sit on the tower of Chengtianmen City and eat eight dishes in less than a month.
As a result, at this moment, the old man of Chongqing personally sent a telegram, in addition to praising Xie Tian's recent achievements, he also sincerely invited Pang Yuan and Xie Tian to Chongqing to discuss state affairs.
Xie Tian looked at Pang Yuan, who came over with a telegram in person, with a black line: "What does he mean?" ”
Pang Yuan smiled coldly and looked at Xie Tian and said, "Guess what? ”
Xie Tian laughed: "I can't guess, but I only know one thing, it must be nothing good for him to ask us to go to Chongqing." ”
Pang Yuan smiled and said: "I know him as a person, and he is scheming. It will definitely be a good thing for him to ask us to go to Chongqing on the surface, but your current prestige has overshadowed him, and you are suspected of being a master of high merit, so he will definitely say that he will be promoted to a knighthood, and if he is not sure, he will give you a vice president. But as long as you get to Chongqing, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to come back, and Zhang Xueliang is a lesson from the past. ”
Xie Tian smiled: "I really don't like the chair he gave me, it's not reliable, but I still make my own chair and sit on it." ”
Pang Yuan smiled: "He should also know that you and I won't go, as for how to reply to him, you don't have to worry about it, I'll reply for you." ”
Pang Yuan turned the telegram into a paper ball and threw it directly into the wastebasket, looked at Xie Tian and said: "According to the news from Chongqing, he has been in contact with Sato in Japan very frequently recently, and he has met alone three times in five days, and his son has met Sato more often, seven times in five days. ”
Jiefang Daily is not just a newspaper, it is also a huge intelligence network, directly led by Pang Yuan and Xie Tian, and presided over by Pang Yuan.
