There are two options for the specific meaning of "signing on behalf of the 823rd Division": one is to sign on behalf of Gong Xiaomu of the 823rd Division, and the other is to sign on behalf of Huang Xirong of Xinzhe Entertainment Company.

In fact, this is Tian Wenjun's choice to occupy the team. The grandfather behind Huang Xirong is a heavyweight in the navy, and Gong Xiaomu and the people behind him are mysterious. How should you choose?

After thinking about it, Tian Wenjun finally made a difficult decision: he signed for the Manguo weapons and equipment on behalf of Xinzhe Entertainment Company, because his other identity was Huang Xirong and Kimura Lang's assistants of Xinzhe Entertainment Company.

Tian Wenjun worked hard to write a letter of accusation: "Exposing the Faces and Evil Deeds of Black-hearted Traitors Headed by Huang Xirong and Kimura Lang", in this report letter, he wrote:

Huang Xirong and Kimura Lang used Xinzhe Entertainment Company as a platform to plan and carry out a series of shameful acts: devouring the excellent weapons donated to Zheguo by Manguo, and selling low-quality Zheguo weapons to the 823rd Division of Zheguo at a high price. In order to achieve their ulterior motives, Huang Xirong and Kimura Lang tried to win over and corrupt themselves. In order to find out their conspiracies, I made false promises with them, pretended to accept their bribes, successfully implemented Infernal Affairs, and learned about their dirty deeds.

...

In the report letter, Tian Wenjun described his signature as signing on behalf of Huang Xirong and others, not on behalf of the 823rd Division, because according to the agreement signed between Gong Xiaomu and the Manguo people, the Manguo people handed over the weapons and equipment to Xinzhe Entertainment Company, and it was natural for him, as an assistant of Xinzhe Entertainment Company, to sign on behalf of Huang Xirong.

Tian Wenjun is very smart, and this 10,000-word report letter does not mention Liang Limo's name at all, because Liang Limo's grandfather is a heavyweight in the Zheguo Army.

In fact, Tian Wenjun had a life-saving hole card in his hand, and during the previous conspiracy with Huang Xirong and Kimura Lang, Tian Wenjun quietly recorded the conversation between them, and he had five audio tapes in his hand.

Taking out five tapes, Tian Wenjun felt the heaviness of his heart. He sighed, ripped two copies of each tape, and put one set together with the denunciation letter. He put another set of tapes in a small box, wrote another short message, put it in the box, then sealed the box, and wrote the address and name of the recipient on the surface of the box: Higashiyama Castle Water Organ, Miyaya Takashiki.

He had a feeling that the special investigation team would definitely ask Gong Takamu, and that Gong Takamu would not have any problems. If there is one person who can save him, then this person can only be Gong Xiaomu. Tian Wenjun didn't know why he trusted Gong Xiaomu. Looking around the entire 823 Division, he sadly found that no one was reliable, but Gong Xiaomu, who had only met twice, gave him a feeling that he could be trusted.

Holding the small box, Tian Wenjun walked towards the post office of the 823rd Division.

Handed over the house and car to the Administration of Organ Affairs of the War Department and the gendarmerie, Ruan Jingtian felt much more relaxed, looking at the sun above his head, Ruan Jingtian and Lao Huang came to an udon noodle restaurant opened by a Zheguo man to solve the lunch problem.

Nguyen Ching Tien has no special dietary requirements. Whether it is Thorn Country cuisine or Zheguo cuisine, as long as the taste is lighter, there are more vegetables. With less oiliness, he can eat it well. Zheguo's udon noodles are more in line with Ruan Jingtian's requirements, so he is not exclusive to udon.

The two of them were eating well. Outside the door, two men in official uniforms walked in, with the word "Yanwu" written on the chest of the uniform. When Ruan Jingtian saw these two words, he knew that they were civil servants of the Salt Bureau of the puppet government.

The two people from the Salt Bureau asked the udon noodle shop owner to bring out the table salt for cooking. Claims to check the legality of table salt. The owner of the noodle shop hurriedly brought two bags of salt from the kitchen and handed them to the people from the Salt Bureau.

Two people from the Salt Bureau looked at the manufacturer on the salt packaging bag, and one said: "Your salt is not produced in Dongshan City, it is an illegal use of salt, and you will be fined 20,000 Zheyuan. After the man finished speaking, he took out a small notebook, wrote a few words, and handed it to the noodle shop owner.

"Sir, we just moved here from Laishan City, and we haven't used up the salt we bought in Laishan City, so we continue to use this salt, and we don't know the rules of Dongshan City that don't allow the use of Laishan City's salt. Can you be accommodating, you take the salt, and don't charge a fine. We are a small business, and if we don't make money, we may not earn 20,000 Zheyuan a month. The noodle shop owner pleaded.

"No, the rules are so, and they can't be accommodating. Once you pay the fine, you'll remember it for a long time so that you don't make the same mistake in the future. The people in the Salt Bureau were unmoved.

After all, the owner of the noodle restaurant couldn't resist the strength of the Salt Bureau, so he had to pay a fine of 20,000 Zheyuan, and the two people from the Salt Bureau took away half a box of Laishan City salt and left.

Ruan Jingtian watched the whole process from beginning to end and did not say a word. He knew a little bit about salt.

The production process of salt is not complicated, and even households can produce table salt. There are two methods of producing table salt, one is salt mining on land and in lakes, and the other is using seawater to dry salt. In coastal cities like Higashiyama Castle, salt is produced by using seawater to dry salt.

Since ancient times, the state of Thorn has practiced a government monopoly on salt. There are not many countries that practice this kind of system in the Linxing Continent, and the Thorn Country in the Eastern Continent and the Furang Country in the Western Continent are the countries that have practiced the government monopoly on salt for the longest time and the most severe.

Why does the government want to monopolize salt? Putting aside the high-sounding rhetoric, the real reason is that it can increase the government's fiscal revenue. As long as the salt mines or beaches are controlled, it means that the production and supply are controlled, and because everyone needs salt every day, the government monopolizes the salt, and the cost of collecting this fiscal revenue is very low, so all dynasties and generations in the history of the Thorn Kingdom are tired of the salt monopoly. Because the income from the salt monopoly is owned by the local governments at all levels, each city implements a protective policy for local salt production and operation, prohibiting the use of salt in cross-regional operations. This can be said to be the ultimate situation of the commodification of official power.

Ruan Jingtian has never had a good impression of the official franchise, and without competition, there will be no high-quality products, which is an unbreakable law for production and operation. Monopoly means monopoly, and monopoly means ineffective loss of the welfare of the inhabitants.

What makes Ruan Jingtian puzzled is that it is understandable for the Thorn State to implement such a strange cross-regional salt ban, could it be that Zheguo also promotes such an unbelievable policy?

Looking at the depressed look on the noodle shop owner's face, Ruan Jingtian chatted briefly with the boss, and learned that the noodle shop owner left Zheguo and came to Laishan City in Thorn Country to do udon business. In desperation, he and many merchants left Laishan City and came to Dongshan City, which is less than 50 kilometers away, to do business, and his noodle restaurant has only been open for three days.

After listening to the story of the noodle shop owner, Ruan Jingtian was thoughtful. After he and Lao Huang finished eating udon noodles and settling the payment, Lao Huang drove an off-road vehicle and drove Ruan Jingtian back to the water organ.

Nguyen Ching Tien asked Gan Tianyi, a member of the secretarial class, to find information on the production and sale of salt in Zheguo and the puppet regime of the Thorn State. Half an hour later, Gan Tianyi brought a bunch of materials and put them on Ruan Jingtian's desk. At the same time, he very obediently made a simple verbal comparison of the salt production and operation of Zheguo and Thorn Kingdom:

Salt manufacturers in the country are governments at all levels, their production scale is small, the quality of the quality is uneven, and governments at all levels are responsible for the anti-smuggling and anti-counterfeiting of salt and the prohibition of cross-regional operation and use of salt;

Zheguo also implements a monopoly on salt, but the manufacturer is not the government, but a small number of large private manufacturers, the production scale is large, the quality is a unified national standard, and the sales are sub-regional sales. However, there is no question of prohibiting the use of salt across regions.

After the occupation of the territory of the Thorn Kingdom, the large salt producers of the Assassin Kingdom did not invest in the Assassin Country, because the manufacturers were afraid of the destruction of anti-Tsanghua groups, and the salt of the Assassin Kingdom was not exported to the Assassin Country. The reason for this is that the cost of shipping is too high to compete with the local salt of the Thorn Country.

Therefore, in the area occupied by Zheguo, the puppet government tacitly copied the management model of the Thorn State. What is even more surprising is that because the quality of the salt in the country is far below the standard of the country, it does not require a lot of capital and equipment to produce salt. Therefore, some second-generation officials of Zheguo came to the Assassin Kingdom and began to produce salt on a small scale in the occupied areas by taking advantage of the fact that salt was produced and operated by governments at all levels, so as to implement regional protection of salt not only for the people of the Assassin Kingdom, but also for the people of Zheguo.

Gan Tianyi finally said: The director of the salt bureau in Dongshan City is called Ju Gang, and he has only been in office for half a month. The manager of the Dongshan Salt Farm in charge of the Salt Bureau was then replaced by Sun Yangchao, and the quality of the salt supplied by him was very poor and there were many impurities, so many people in Dongshan City went to Laishan City to buy salt.

Ruan Jingtian listened to Gan Tianyi's narration quietly, and was a little impressed by this little girl from Zheguo who had just joined the work. Gan Tianyi's narration is clear and concise. She was thoughtful and knew that her boss wouldn't ask a question for no reason, so she gathered as much background information as she could, especially on the ground, and gave an oral report to her boss.

The importance of oral presentation should not be underestimated, as it is an important way to express oneself and exercise one's oral expression skills. Another important point is that oral expression can make a deep impression on the boss and show that the oral presenter has done the work assigned by the boss carefully and carefully.

After Gan Tianyi's report was over, she saw Ruan Jingtian in deep thought, standing quietly next to her, waiting for instructions.

Ruan Jingtian was not only thinking about the salt problem in Dongshan City, but also about the salt problem in Tuerling, and if the independent trade zone was established, he must consider which salt management model to choose. He decided to go to Rabbit Ridge in two days to discuss with Gao Wenhao and Leng Ruosong, but he was inclined to introduce two or three private capitals and adopt competitive management, which would help improve the quality of salt.

Looking at the information sent by Gan Tianyi, Ruan Jingtian locked his eyes on the name of Sun Yangchao, the new manager of Dongshan Salt Farm, which is a subordinate enterprise of the Salt Bureau, and its manager is a civil servant with a regular rank.

Sun Yangchao, originally from Quanshui City, was originally a deputy section-level officer in the security department of a garment factory, which was subordinate to the Quartermaster Supply Department of the Liuyun Provincial Army Headquarters. Ruan Jingtian found that he was now 20 years old and had worked for three years, which means that Sun Yangchao joined the work at the age of 17, which does not seem to meet the age limit for employment in Zheguo, which stipulates that he must be at least 18 years old to work, otherwise, the employer will face charges of employing minors.

Looking at Sun Yangchao's information carefully, Ruan Jingtian suddenly thought that Sun Maoyu of the War Department was from the Army Headquarters of Liuyun Province, could this Sun Yangchao be related to Sun Maoyu?

Ruan Jingtian then thought of another question: Do military and political departments such as the Ministry of the Army, the Water Agency, and the 796th Division also consume the inferior salt produced by the Dongshan Salt Works?

Seeing Gan Tianyi standing in front of him, Ruan Jingtian asked, "Is the salt in our water canteen purchased from the Dongshan Salt Factory?"

"Yes, however, our water agency uses special salt specially made by the Higashiyama Salt Works. ”

"Then the price of this special salt must be very high, right?" asked Ruan Jingtian.

"No, the special salt is free, I heard that the production of this salt is small, it is only supplied to the Ministry of the Army, water agencies and other government departments, not sold in the market. ”

Ruan Jingtian understood in his heart: the quality of the special salt is good. The production cost is high, and the poor quality and low cost salt is not worried about not being sold, so the Dongshan Salt Factory will not produce special salt on a large scale, but only produce a small amount of special salt to plug the mouth of the government department.

"Xiao Gan, thank you, you have sorted out the letters that have been reflected in the Salt Bureau and Dongshan Salt Works in the past half a month. Ruan Jingtian believes that the Salt Bureau and Dongshan Salt Works are so nonsense, and someone will definitely write a letter to complain.

Liu Xiaochen, the commander of the 796th Division, was annoyed.

He was the commander of the 4th Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 796th Division, and his defense area covered the entire Dongshan City, excluding Laishan City. However, last night, he received an urgent military order, ordering him to rush to the west side of Laishan City to investigate the heavy case of the 823rd Division's purchase of weapons and the robbery. Let him lead people into the defense area of the garrison of Laishan City, he is a hundred unwilling, but the military order is like a mountain, and he can't help but not carry it out.

After entering the boundaries of Laishan City, Liu Xiaochen learned that the Third Regiment, which was in charge of the Laishan City Defense District, was conducting a large-scale sweep in the northern area, and had no time to spare troops to investigate.

There is another point that makes Liu Xiaochen angry: the 823rd Division is purchasing weapons in Dongshan City, and the 796th Division, as the landlord, has no idea about it. The person in charge of the escort is actually a cold and simple militia group, and this practice of the 823rd Division is directly an extreme disregard for the 796th Division.

Liu Xiaochen thought of this, and he was very unhappy, but he was very unhappy about the robbery of weapons and equipment. He gloated a little in his heart, and said secretly: These militia groups have no problem dealing with unarmed ordinary people, but when they encounter a slightly more regular army, they will become chickens and dogs. Vulnerable. The 823rd Division actually let these useless militia groups escort them, which is simply to deliver food to the anti-philosophical organization.

When he heard that it was the weapons and equipment of 80 heavy trucks, Liu Xiaochen understood a little in his heart why the 823rd Division did not let him get his hands on this batch of weapons and equipment: if the 796th Division knew that there were so many weapons and equipment. It will definitely be plucked by the geese, and some of it will be intercepted, and I dare not say that it is still possible to leave two or three out of ten.

Liu Xiaochen was full of resentment towards the 823rd Division, and to tell the truth, he was really interested in this batch of weapons and equipment. It seems that only the regular army of the Assassin Government has such strength, but there are no regular troops of the Assassin Kingdom within a radius of 100 miles from Dongshan City and Laishan City, so which organization is this armed force with amazing force?

As far as he knows, the 3rd Regiment stationed in Laishan City forced the 19th Army to retreat to the northern mountainous area of Laishan City a month ago, and now the 3rd Regiment is still continuing to encircle and suppress the 19th Army, so it is impossible for the 19th Army to go to the west side of Laishan City to rob the transport convoy.

Did the ambush team do it? But I had never heard of such a large ambush force in the western part of Laishan City.

Late last night, Liu Xiaochen led a battalion of troops to the accident site, because the mountains were high and dense, and it was the middle of the night when the lights were blind, almost no valuable clues were found, but based on a few obvious rut marks, it was generally judged that the hijacked vehicle continued to drive west. He led his team to follow the trail and found it to be an intersection with a jumble of rutted marks in each direction. He suspected that the looters should have been organized by more than one organization, but by three or four organizations, where the looters would divide the stolen goods and then go their separate ways.

If this is the boundary of Dongshan City, Liu Xiaochen will not feel too much headache, even if he searches all the areas under the jurisdiction of Dongshan City, he believes that it is not much difficulty, but this is the jurisdiction of Laishan City, and he is running around in other people's defense areas, wouldn't it be very jealous of others? And if he really wants to take action, he will not get effective help.

Thinking of the hateful military order, Liu Xiaochen stubbornly chose to chase in the direction of the south. If you continue to trace to the west, you will get farther and farther away from Dongshan City, and if you go north, you will enter the sweeping area of the Third Regiment, which is easy to cause misunderstandings and even accidental accidents.

Because it was a search, Liu Xiaochen's march was very slow. After dawn, he inquired about the villagers in the mountains and forests, and until it was close to noon, Liu Xiaochen and his soldiers had only advanced about 20 kilometers to the south. After a night and a morning of tossing, his soldiers were sleepy and tired.

Liu Xiaochen looked at the angry soldiers, and his heart was very uncomfortable. However, the military order requires that the real culprit must be found before 12 o'clock at noon today, otherwise military law will serve.

Liu Xiaochen guessed that if the search continued, his soldiers might all lie down. I can't climb anymore. He looked at the map, looked ahead again, and suddenly remembered that three hundred kilometers to the south was the boundary of Haisu Province. The border between Haisu Province and Liuyun Province is the defense area of the 212th Regiment under the jurisdiction of the 6th Army of the Assassin State. Liu Xiaochen had an idea in his heart, and immediately ordered the correspondent to send a telegram to the brigade headquarters of the 796th Division, informing him that the 212th Regiment of the Assassin Country might be the mastermind of the robbery, and waiting for the next instructions from the brigade headquarters.

The brigade headquarters quickly called back, and the message was as follows: Stand by and wait for the 3rd Regiment to take over the follow-up investigation.

When Liu Xiaochen saw the message, he put down a big stone in his heart: But he threw this out. 212th Regiment of the Thorn Country. You are ready to be crushed by the soldiers of the Great Zheguo. He knew that it was unlikely that the 212th Regiment of the Assassin Country would go to more than 300 kilometers to rob, but Liu Xiaochen really couldn't find a possible robber, so he had to pull out a regular army of the Assassin Country far away in Haisu Province as a backdrop.

He immediately gave the order: rest in place and bury the pot to cook. He sent out a guard post, hurriedly ate a few bites of food, and then got into the tent and fell asleep.

Rear Admiral Commander of the Third Fleet of the Chelkok Navy, Van Do-ai, realized that what he considered to be safe sea was unsafe.

The Manguo transport ship was lost in the sea off Dongshan City, and he didn't pay attention to it. After all, the dangers in the ocean are much greater than those on land, and the oceans are often filled with hurricanes and huge waves, and there are countless reefs underwater, which are the great killers of sea navigation. The loss of contact with the Manguo transport ship is not a fuss. Besides, this is still a Manguo ship, not a Zheguo ship, so if you lose contact, you will lose contact.

The day before Hu Qiuyuan's accident, Fan Daoai received an urgent telegram from Hu Qiuyuan. Hu Qiuyuan asked Van Dao Ai's Third Fleet to take care of his family at sea. Fan Daoai and Hu Qiuyuan are good friends, and he agreed.

Fan Daoai did not break his promise, when Dongshan City came out with instructions to intercept the Hu family's fishing boat. He instructed the frigate to protect the Hu family fishing boat. Later, the Hu family fishing boat and the frigate were all gone, and he guessed that the frigate might escort the Hu family fishing boat to the Western Ocean, and the time required for this voyage was calculated in months, so Fan Daoai did not take the loss of the frigate seriously.

Fan Daoai always believed that the sea area of Dongshan City, and even the entire Liuyun Province, was absolutely safe for Zheguo. The naval strength of the Assassin government is weak, not to mention aircraft carriers, it is a decent destroyer, and the Assassin government only has three or four ships, while the Harmony Society has no sea power at all. However, the strength of the Third Fleet under his command was as follows: three aircraft carriers, 120 destroyers, more than 200 frigates, 20 submarines, and many other ships. This kind of power is definitely able to dominate this sea, and the merchant ships of Zheguo are unimpeded in this sea area and will not encounter any threat.

In the middle of the night, an urgent telegram was received from the country saying that the submarine and the destroyer of the country had lost contact with each other for more than 12 hours.

Although after receiving Huang Xirong's telegram for help yesterday evening, Fan Daoai sent two frigates to search in the relevant sea areas, but after receiving the telegram from Manguo, he believed that the strength of the two frigates was far from enough, because the potential enemy could deal with the destroyers, so dealing with the two frigates was as easy as chopping vegetables.

He immediately dispatched four submarines, six destroyers, 15 search frigates, and naval planes to the relevant sea areas to conduct a larger search, and issued an order that if an unknown ship was encountered, it could open fire directly when the situation was critical.

Twenty-four hours had passed since the Ro-Ro ship had lost contact, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, Fan Daoai had gathered the information fed back by all the search ships and set his eyes on the numerous islands at the junction of the inner sea and the outer sea of Dongshan City.

Van Dao Ai has surveyed the waters around the island, which are full of reefs and turbulent currents, and the islands are one after another.

However, according to the recollections of witnesses at the time, there was once a frigate flying the flag of Zheguo and a ro-ro ship sailing around the island.

Van Dao Ai clearly knew that there was no Zheguo frigate on a mission in that area yesterday, that is, the Zheguo flag frigate was very likely to be a fake, and the island group that was not suitable for navigation and docking may be hiding a hostile maritime force.

Nguyen Ching Tien took out the special radio station distributed to him by the water organ and began to receive telecommunications. He decided to answer the signal every day, after all, the self-reliant regiment and the maritime detachment are currently in a critical period of construction, and it is necessary to keep abreast of information from all sides.

Suddenly, he received a signal from the Self-Formation Group. Nguyen Kyo Tien quickly deciphered the message, which was sent by the naval detachment: a large number of ships and aircraft of the Zhe Quoc searched for the station.

After burning the telegram, Nguyen Jingtian was thinking in his heart how to deal with this crisis: If the sea detachment and the Zheguo navy go head-to-head, it will be a dead end; and it cannot be expected that the Zheguo people will not find a hidden station, because as long as the Zheguo navy sends rubber boats into the island group and searches them for ten days and half a month, they will definitely be able to find the location of the sea detachment.

Nguyen Jing Tien decided to take measures, otherwise the newly formed sea detachment would be completely annihilated. He left the water agency, went to the fishing port, purchased a lot of goods, and then went straight to the small bungalow on Longyin Road, where a small submarine was hidden. It is said to be a small submarine, but in fact it should be a pocket submarine, with a displacement of only 50 tons, a total length of more than 20 meters, and a width of three meters, but the noise is only 70 decibels, which is already lower than the background noise of the ocean (90 decibels). Although this pocket submarine has a short range and slow speed, it is quiet and almost undetectable, especially suitable for submarine sneak attacks.

Piloting a small submarine, Ruan Jingtian slowly approached the sea off Dongshan City, only to see the cruising Zheguo ships everywhere, and he also found that there were two Zheguo submarines under the water, and two submarines on the water, it seems that the Zheguo Navy is really anxious this time.

Nguyen Ching Tien decided to deal with the submarine of Zhe Quoc first. He made a lot of preparations for this trip, including a large number of fishing nets. He put on a diving suit and ran the Xuangang Technique and the Three-Body Technique, so that the Xuanqi protected his whole body to resist the pressure of the sea water more than 100 meters deep.

With fishing nets and other items on his back, he left the submarine and used the Snake Eye Gong to locate the location of the Zheguo submarine using infrared rays, because the submarine needs power to drive it, and the power source will emit heat.

Soon he finally determined the location of a submarine from Zhekook, according to the trajectory of its voyage. He quietly swam over, arranged the fishing net where the Zheguo submarine must pass, and then he took out a bundle of thin steel wires, which came from the General Administration of National Security, and had very strong tensile resistance. He threaded one end of the wire through a number of meshes, tied a dead knot, and then fastened the other end of the wire to the rocks at the bottom of the sea. (To be continued......)
