Dong Liang stayed in Shanghai not only to plan the attack on Suzhou, but also to secretly investigate the economic situation of Shanghai.

Shanghai now implements a completely free economic model, which is completely different from other Chinese places.

Business groups have formulated trade rules to regulate themselves. As for business activities, the government basically does not interfere.

The official office established based on the Shanghai Provincial Government Office and Customs had less than a hundred staff members.

Except for the agreed commercial taxes and some registration work, the government basically has nothing to do.

What the Chinese practice here is to rule by doing nothing.

Those businessmen will invest on their own based on market demand.

For example, several foreign hardware factories and shipyards taken over by the Chinese needed to order some raw materials from outside, and those businessmen took the initiative to assume the role of suppliers. For example, Ryukyu purchased a large amount of silk, tea, and porcelain from here, and they found ways to

These things are shipped to Shanghai.

Even the tung oil and bristles ordered by the exchange can be transported from the distant mountains of Sichuan.

This forced Dong Liang to re-examine the abilities of these businessmen.

Economic work is what Dong Liang is least good at, and it is also a shortcoming in the process of building the Chinese nation. In his previous life, he only worked in a military factory, which was an enterprise with a planned economy model.

Therefore, most of the Chinese state-owned enterprises founded by Dong Liang have management methods similar to those under the planned economy system.

It seems to be nothing now. A large number of factories and enterprises in the hands of the government have deployed a large number of labor forces, which also allowed many of Dong Liang's ideas to be implemented quickly.

It is convenient for the Chinese people to concentrate their efforts on big things.

But Dong Liang has experienced the shortcomings of this economic model.

A healthy market must have the participation of free capital, just like there must be fish in the lake. But it cannot be controlled by free capital, as it will be like a flood of fish.

This is an experience summed up from decades of painful lessons in previous lives.

In the Wu Mansion, a group of strangers entered today.

Hanxiang was placed at the top of Wu Mansion as an ANBU, so he naturally knew some information.

For some reason, she felt a little nervous.

Dong Liang came to Wu Mansion surrounded by guards, and he actually chose to live in this place.

He originally wanted to talk to Wu Jianzhang, but after thinking about it he gave up.

Dong Liang is not the kind of counterattacking loser with a twisted mentality. He and Wu Jianzhang also have no hatred.

If there is, it is this old dog named Wu who once tried to sell out China's interests in order to please foreigners and seek benefits for himself.

"Who is in charge here?" Dong Liang asked.

Yuan Jiugong stood up quickly and said: "The person responsible for monitoring Wu Jianzhang is Hanxiang, the original maid of Wu Mansion, who was selected by Minister Chen before."

"Hanxiang?" The name sounds like a maid, or a prostitute.

"Ask her to come here, and I'll ask about Wu Jianzhang's situation."

…

After a while, a woman wearing a silk-covered brocade jacket lowered her head and walked into the room where Dong Liang was staying.

Dong Liang also smelled the special fragrance, and looked at the woman curiously.

The loose clothes made Hanxiang's figure look petite. Her delicate little face looked like a masterpiece in the hands of an artist.

"Comrade Hanxiang, you have worked hard during this time. Let me briefly introduce the situation of Wu Jianzhang."

Hanxiang did not dare to look directly at Dong Liang. She already knew that this handsome young man was the head of state of the Chinese nation.

However, she had just taken a quick glance and had already engraved Dong Liang's image in her mind.

"When we returned to the head of state, Wu Jianzhang's health was deteriorating. Our doctors had tried their best, but I could feel that Wu Jianzhang was begging for death."

It is really difficult to save a person who wants to die.

"My subordinates feel that he won't be able to hold on much longer."

Most men would feel possessive when seeing Hanxiang, but Dong Liang showed no possessive intentions at all.

She didn't know that Dong Liang was currently in the immune stage to female sex.

Seeing Dong Liang's eyes as clear as water, Hanxiang was really convinced. No wonder many colleagues sent from above described the head of state as being like a god.

In Hanxiang's view, men are just lower-body animals, and there is nothing that a woman's skirt cannot conquer.

"In a few months, Wu Jianzhang will be of little value to us. You should work harder during this period. When this matter is over, I will ask Uncle Ping to arrange a new position for you. Do you have any ideas?"

"Thoughts?" Hanxiang looked at Dong Liang in confusion. She didn't understand what Dong Liang meant, mainly because she didn't expect that a high-ranking head of state would let his soldiers make demands of her.

"I mean, do you have any job you want to do?" Dong Liang added.

"Oh, my subordinate wants to continue working in ANBU." Hanxiang finally responded.

"Why?"

"My subordinates find the ANBU work very challenging." Dong Liang finally became a little interested in this girl.

ANBU work is not easy, especially for a woman.

"Do you like adventure?" Dong Liang looked at Hanxiang curiously.

This woman is very beautiful, a petite and lovely Jiangnan beauty.

She didn't look like a female spy in any way. Her little arms seemed to be able to hold onto anyone firmly.

But it’s people like this who make it easier for people to let their guard down, isn’t it?

"You are a woman in the ANBU, can you obey all the arrangements?" Dong Liang said.

Hanxiang knew what Dong Liang was referring to. If a woman wanted to be a secret spy, she would inevitably use her most powerful weapon.

That's her body.

Hanxiang's brows wrinkled slightly, as if she had made a lot of determination.

"Führer, I am willing to dedicate everything I have to the cause of the Chinese nation, including my body."

"Chinese people are our common cause..." Dong Liang stood up, walked to Hanxiang, and stretched out a hand to him.

…

The tallest building in Suzhou City is the Bell Tower.

There is a watchman here every day, and ringing the bell on time is very important for the city at this time.

At this time, there was a person lying on the clock base at the top of the bell tower.

This man is wearing a blue-black cloak, which seems to blend into the clock base made of blue bricks.

A pitch-black gun barrel protruded from the front of the cloak, pointing toward the street ahead.

This place is only more than a hundred steps away from the street. The distance is not that far, and ordinary guns can reach it.

But today this Chinese assassin actually used a smokeless gunpowder gun that was in the experimental stage.

With smokeless gunpowder, the breech-loading gun that Dong Liang had been researching for a long time could be launched.

I have never used a breech-loading gun before, because there is too much black powder residue, which can easily clog the gun chamber.

Just like the Dresser, the failure rate in the early stages was too high. Only the Prussian Army equipped it, and other European countries scorned this gun.

This gun made by Dong Liang himself is an imitation of the most classic breech-loading gun, the Mauser rifle.

Dong Liang named it the Fuxing 53-type rifle.

Before the end of the year, Dong Liang finally decided to take out this gun after inspecting the gunpowder laboratory.

Because it was cut off during experiments and has not yet been mass-produced, this equipment was used by a small number of snipers as a sniper rifle.

In fact, the range of this gun reaches thousands of meters, and it can effectively kill enemies within 500 meters.

Today, Zou Hongxing set up the sniper point here because Lu Jianfeng always took a carriage when going out, and the inner wall of his carriage was inlaid with iron plates.

ANBU had already found out about this news.

Assassinating Lu Jianfeng is the most important step in getting rid of the cancer that is Fengrui Army.

The reason why Lu Jianfeng was assassinated was to prevent him from escaping again.

On the frontal battlefield, even if the escort army defeated the Fengrui army, it would be difficult to capture Lu Jianfeng.

The more hateful a villain is, the more he cherishes his life. When the army is defeated, Lu Jianfeng will definitely not be buried by his brothers.

As the saying goes, good people don't live long, but bad people live a thousand years.

Therefore, General Dong Liang's ace sniper Zou Hongxing was assigned to Sun Yanping, and Xiong Da of the action team was asked to personally lead the team to Suzhou to carry out this mission.

Merchants in Suzhou also provided support. Without their help, the action team would not be able to bring weapons into the city.

Suzhou City is under the control of Fengrui Army and is basically under military control.

"The carriage has passed Xishi Street, and there are still two turns to reach Zhonggu Street." An observer from the action team downstairs reported.

Zou Hongxing moved his body and checked the gun in his hand under his cloak.
