"this--"

Zhang Dongning frowned and thought hard, shook his head: "There is no explanation in the introduction, and I don't know either."

Wu Ming then realized that he was anxious, laughed silently, and asked, "Do you know who led the team this time?"

"Lu Jingshi."

Zhang Dongning carefully introduced: "This person is a close disciple of Du Yuesheng. Ten years ago, he led the Qinggang members to participate in the April 12th Incident. Afterwards, the central government rewarded him according to his merits. He served as the Standing Committee Member of the All-China Postal Union and Minister of the General Affairs Department, Executive Member of the Shanghai Special Municipal Party Committee of the Kuomintang, Deputy Director of the Military Law Department of the Songhu Security Command, etc. He is a rare military-understanding talent under Du Yuesheng. This time Du Yuesheng sent him here, and his plan was very big."

"Since he is a man from the army, how could he leave his post without permission?" Wu Ming asked in confusion.

Zhang Dongning shook his head and said he was not clear. Ye Zhuhan said, "I know a little about this. After the Battle of Songhu, due to the strong insistence of the Japanese side, the Chinese army had to withdraw from Shanghai and surrounding areas. The security team under the Songhu Security Command also quashed greatly. The troops were greatly reduced, with more monks and less porridge. Lu Jingshi, who had no foundation in the army, was marginalized since then. The deputy director of the Military Law Department was in name only...

"The last time the Songhu Security Command strictly prohibited the security forces from participating in the affairs of the Qing Gang and the Japanese, Lu Jingshi must have been greatly stimulated. This time, it is estimated that with the support of Du Yuesheng, he completely resigned, in order to help Du Yuesheng lead a strong army to deal with the complex and changing situation in Shanghai."

Wu Ming thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. I will ask Dai Li to visit the military factory tomorrow morning, and then take a boat to Quzhou together. In the evening, I will hold a banquet in the North of Quzhou City to welcome the children of Lu Jingshi and other Qinggang."

I was speechless all night. After six o'clock the next morning, a hint of bright color had just appeared in the east sky. Most people were hiding in the bed and sleeping in. Dai Li had already arranged a day's work in the guest room on the fourth floor of the Taohuayuan Hotel where he was staying.

"Last night, the Chairman called in person and was very dissatisfied with our work progress. Today, we have to find valuable clues."

Dai Li said this and glanced at the frowning crowd and slowed down his voice: "However, judging from the situation in the past few days, it is very difficult to truly discover valuable things, but we cannot give up. Let's talk about it, how should we arrange our itinerary today?"

Mao Sen glared and said viciously: "If it really doesn't work, we will break into the town office to arrest people. I don't believe it. Wu Ming really dares to send someone to obstruct..."

"no"

Hu Guozhen was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly interrupted Mao Sen: "Webmaster Mao, you have been in Fujian before, and you don't know the true strength of the Mao Liangwu militia. When Fang Zhimin attacked Hua County, the Mao Liangwu militia rushed to help. After the two sides met in close combat, they forced the Red Army back to the Huaiyu Mountains. The strength of its combat effectiveness can be seen."

"In recent years, as the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce becomes more and more prosperous, the scale of the militia is getting bigger and bigger, and the veterans of the New Second Division have been directly enriched to the militia, and their strength has increased a lot compared to the beginning... Now, most of the defenses in the surrounding areas of Maoliangwu are undertaken by the Phoenix Mountain Base Guard Corps and the Maoliangwu Militia."

"The outside world generally speculates that the Maoliangwu militia, which has reached a brigade, is responsible for training, transporting and hoarding soldiers for the New Second Division. It is actually the reserve force of the New Second Division. It can be supplemented for combat at any time. Its combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of the ordinary regular army. If we take action rashly, I dare to assert that none of us can get out of Maoliangwu."

Chen Gongshu, who has always liked to hide in the dark, asked in surprise: "The Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce is so awesome. Could it be that the local government and party affairs departments just watch and let it develop without any countermeasures?"

Hu Guozhen patiently introduced: "The mining plants jointly opened by the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce and the Quzhou Chamber of Commerce have at least tens of thousands of people in Quzhou. In addition, the transportation, manufacturing, trade, construction and other industries they invest in, at least more than 100,000 people in western Zhejiang rely on the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce for dinner, and the population involved is at least one million. If one moves, how dare local governments take action against it?"

"From all aspects, we can draw a conclusion that Wu Ming, the commander of the New Second Division, has a close relationship with the Mao Liangwu Chamber of Commerce. In a sense, the New Second Division and the Mao Liangwu Chamber of Commerce are interdependent, promote each other, and develop together, and their interests are almost completely consistent. Everyone knows the relationship between Wu Ming and Fang Youchun, director of the Quzhou Administrative Office. Under such circumstances, who dares to come forward to curb the development of the Chamber of Commerce?

"Finally, as far as I know, the trade volume between Mao Liangwu Chamber of Commerce and Shanghai Boss Du and Huang is now as high as one million acres every month. Several leaders of the Chamber of Commerce are called brothers with both bosses. Let's not talk about anything else, Boss Du and Boss Huang have to sell their face, right?"

"What should I do now? This can't be, that can't be, then we can't be anything, we can go home," Wei Daming said with some anger.

Seeing Yiyu's subordinates arguing, Dai Li stood up with an ugly face and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. After thinking hard for a long time, he felt more and more irritable.

Just when everyone was helpless, a secret agent from the secret service came in to report Wu Ming's visit, and then came to Dai Li's ear and whispered.

Dai Li's heart moved and waved his hand to signal everyone to have breakfast first, then walked out of the door and walked towards the reception room on the second floor of the hotel.

Taohuayuan Hotel is a newly designed and built high-end hotel by the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce in accordance with Wu Ming's suggestion. It is built at the foot of the mountain on the northern foot of Qipan Mountain. It is five floors high. The first floor has a restaurant, bathroom, cinema and department store. In addition to the guest rooms, there is also a large conference room and reception room on the second floor. All the other floors are guest rooms.

According to the design plan, once war comes, all buildings in Maoliangwu are covered with camouflage disguised nets, and there is no need to worry about being bombarded by Japanese fighter jets.

Dai Li was stopped when he arrived on the second floor. The guard company of the New Second Division had set up defenses at the stairs, and soon a special person brought Dai Li into the reception room.

Wu Ming was standing in front of the window with his hands on his back, looking at the huge lake area formed by the construction of a hydropower station in front of him. In the early morning, the lake was covered with a faint white mist. Water birds were roaming, peach blossoms, plum blossoms, pear blossoms, etc. on the surrounding mountains had withered, golden loquats, green plums, apricots were adorned with branches, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass.

The hotel is located eighty or ninety meters above the lake in the reservoir area, and is located high above. Maoliangwu Town in the northeast is hidden among green trees and vines. From here, buildings are lined up one after another, relying on the mountainous direction like a long dragon, most buildings are perfectly integrated with the surrounding mountains and forests. If they are decorated with red walls and green tiles in peacetime, they will probably look even more shocking.

Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, Wu Ming said aloud: "It's a unique feeling to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Maoliangwu from here. Brother Yunong, you don't know that when I first arrived here seven years ago, a terrible plague had just happened in Maoliangwu and the surrounding areas. Abandoned bones were everywhere in the wilderness. People from far and near regarded it as a Jedi. They would rather take a long way than come to Maoliangwu."

"No one would have thought that in just six or seven years, this place has developed from a small village into a large town that can accommodate 50,000 or 60,000 people to settle down. Five or six villages have been formed around Maoliangwu, forming a pattern of stars surround the moon. The huge hard work and sweat of Maoliangwu people are condensed, and millions of funds have been invested in Brother Yunong. What do you think of the scenery in front of you?"

Dai Li and Wu Ming stood side by side, admired for a while before turning their heads: "The scenery is really good, and compared to Lushan, Huangshan is not much better than that of Lushan. In my opinion, as long as the country's interests are not invaded, places like Maoliangwu will naturally have more and better..."

"On the contrary, if we are greedy and abused the law and only care about our own interests and take risks for the benefit of individuals and small groups, then I will do my best to put this evil tiger in a cage and accept the supervision and management of the state. Brother Wu, since our investigation team entered Maoliangwu, whether it is the town government or the chamber of commerce, the militia members have not even exposed their faces. Isn't that too much?"

Wu Ming smiled faintly, left the window and returned to the sofa to sit down. Soon the guards delivered a tray containing a pot of tea and two tea cups. Wu Ming asked Dai Li to sit down opposite the coffee table and said with a smile:

"Come on, this is the fresh tea that the She people picked from the century-old tea tree on the top of Moxinjian Mountain with an altitude of more than 1,400 meters to the north. At that time, the two officials Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng praised this tea. This time, Brother Yunong has a good reputation."

After saying that, Wu Ming filled the teacup in front of himself and Dai Li, picked up the teacup comfortably, leaned over to his nose and sniffed it intoxicatingly, then he tilted his head and drank it all, shouting with pleasure.

Dai Li took a symbolic sip and put down the teacup: "Although the tea is delicious, some things are choked in my heart and I can't feel happy if I don't vomit. Let's open the skylight and say something bright... Brother Wu, when did you introduce several heads of the Mao Liangwu Chamber of Commerce to Brother Yu?"

"Brother Yunong is so unelegant"

Wu Ming shook his head with a smile. Seeing Dai Li's tense face and seriousness, his expression gradually became serious: "Okay, since that's the case, then I will say it clearly... Brother Yunong, everyone knows what your secret service is. To be honest, it was me who asked Lu Zhengde, Lu Zhengxian and other town governments, chambers of commerce and militia to avoid you. There is some things that everyone knows in their hearts. There is no need to uncover the lid, otherwise everyone's face will not look good."

Wu Ming stretched out his hand and stopped Dai Li from saying what he was about to say, and then said:

"I know what Brother Yunong wants to know, and how to do it after Brother Yunong returns. Today I come here specifically for this matter. I will drink this cup of tea first, and then I will tell you what to do next. Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for Brother Yunong to do..."
