Li Daben received Zhou Weihan's order and went straight to the county town with the magnet and sweet potatoes.
At the gate of Wuyi County, seven or eight puppet soldiers were standing lazily, unable to cheer up at all. Two little devils were leaning against the city wall.
Li Dajeng was still dressed in the same outfit and walked towards the city gate with a swagger.
"Hey, Mr. Li, are you here?" Erbalzi, the squad leader who led the puppet army, hurriedly came up to greet him.
"Hey, I'm talking about you bald guy, why are you still guarding the city gate?" Li Da capable said.
"Hey, Mr. Li, you can't do this without your kind words from the superior!" The bald man said flatteringly.
The two Japanese soldiers under the city wall saw Li Da's attire, with magnets and sweet potatoes bulging around his waist, and came over warily with guns in hand.
"What are they doing?" a kid asked.
"Taijun, they are the spies of Major Watanabe of the Military Police." The bald man explained to the little devil.
"Secret agent? Do you have any ID?"
"Master Li, Taijun asked you for your ID? Take it out quickly!"
Li Daben took out a document from his pocket and handed it to the little devil. It had the steel seal of the Wuyi Gendarmerie printed on it.
"It's hard for a dog to pull three horses," Li Daben said to the little devil, and patted the little devil on the shoulder.
"Hi," the little devil said with his head lowered, handing over the certificate with both hands.
"Quickly, let us go quickly, Mr. Li, please." The two bald man said.
"Let's go," Li Daben said and walked into Wuyi County in a swaggering manner.
"Squad leader, what is the origin of Li Da's ability? Even the little devils are respectful?" asked a puppet soldier.
"You call me Mr. Li? He is very capable. Please ask, who in the surrounding areas of Wuyi County doesn't give a little bit of face? Have you ever heard of Major Watanabe of the Military Police, who specializes in dealing with this group of gangsters?"
He's a soldier, he's a good friend of Master Li." The bald man said proudly.
Here, Li Da and his three friends came to the famous Chuanxiang Restaurant in Wuyi County. As soon as they entered the restaurant, the waiter shouted: "Shopkeeper, Master Li is here."
"Master Li, you're here, are you still at the same place?" the shopkeeper Lao Feng said.
"In the old place, arrange a place for these two brothers." Li Dajing said to Lao Feng.
"Shitou, Gua'er, you two will stay downstairs and let me know if anything happens."
"Why, you are always on the second floor listening to songs and drinking wine, while we have to be downstairs." Digua said dissatisfied.
Li Daben gave Shi Shi a wink, and the magnet next to him pulled the sweet potato away without any explanation: "What do you know? This is a secret."
"Old Feng, send someone to call Kang Shunzi and Watanabe from the gendarmerie, and tell them that I will wait for them at the old place." After Li Daben said this, he went upstairs.
Sichuan Xianglou is a restaurant opened by Li Daben, Kang Shunzi and Watanabe. It is their usual stronghold. In addition, there is a business and a pharmacy.
These are only on the surface, and there are even more transactions going on behind the scenes.
Kang Shunzi was originally just a company commander of the puppet army. After catching up with Li Da's skills, he changed his mind and became the deputy commander of the puppet army in Wuyi County.
After a while, Kang Shunzi, who received the news, rushed over and said, "Master Li, what gust of wind took you out today? It's not the time to pay dividends?"
"Looking at your little success, you will keep an eye on this little money. There hasn't been anything wrong with your business recently, right?"
"Master Li, judging from what you said, who doesn't know that you and the Japanese are taking care of the business of our Sanyou Trading Company? No one in the surrounding counties dares to disturb Tai Sui, right?"
"That's fine," the two of them were saying.
Old Feng, the shopkeeper downstairs, shouted: "Master Li, Commander Kang, and Major Watanabe are here."
Watanabe pushed open the door and came in, "Li Sang, it's been a while since I last saw you." As he said this, he hugged Li Dabenshang.
"Watanabe, what the hell is wrong with you? You hug people whenever you see them. We're not a girl either." Li Da knew how to avoid Watanabe and said.
Watanabe glanced at the food and wine on the table, smiled at Kang Shunzi and said, "Kang Sang, do you have any pork head meat?"
Kang Shunzi was stunned for a moment: "Yes, we must have it. Old Feng, bring up Major Watanabe's favorite pork head meat."
"Yo Xi, Kang Sang, you are indeed the best and best friend of the Empire of Japan," Watanabe said while squeezing Kang Shunzi's face.
"Okay, stop being ink. Today I'm here to see you on business. Kang Shunzi, you go outside and watch." Li Da said calmly.
"Yes, Mr. Li, Major Watanabe, please use it with ease." Kang Shunzi responded, closed the door and walked out.
Li Dabenshi and Watanabe represent Zhou Weihan and Terauchi Isamu respectively, while Kang Shunzi is just an errand boy in the middle, and he is usually the one who handles the first things.
"Watanabe, I heard you say some time ago that Isamu Terauchi was interested in the Liubao stronghold?" Li Da asked confidently.
"Hey, Colonel Terauchi is very dissatisfied with the Wu'an County Takeuchi Regiment's occupation of the Liubao stronghold. A truckload of our supplies was impounded last week, and there is a lot of oil and water there." Watanabe also said dissatisfied.
"Then you don't want to occupy the Liubao stronghold? Will you keep turning over the money in the future?"
"Li Sang, do you have any good ideas?"
"There is no good way, but there is a stupid way. Our regiment leader is very dissatisfied with the confiscation of our supplies by the Liubao stronghold, and is ready to give them a show." Li Da opened his mouth and deceived.
Li Da said straight to the point: "We are going to lay down the Liubao stronghold and hand it over to you to manage it. From now on, we will have the final say there."
"Yo Xi, Li Sang, you are indeed our good friend, you always think about us."
"Hey, this is for our money's sake. Liubao stronghold is located on an important road. As long as we have it, there will be a lot of money!" Li Daben said to Watanabe while rubbing his fingers.
"However, the Liubao stronghold is difficult to fight. You have to take me to familiarize myself with the deployment of troops and firepower inside."
"Li Sang, no problem, I will report to the temple commander right away. You are waiting for my good news." Watanabe said.
In order to earn money for the future, he stopped eating pork head meat and hurriedly reported to Terauchi Isamu.
After Watanabe left, Kang Shunzi walked in, "Master Li, is this little devil reliable? After all?"
"It's hard to say whether the little devil is reliable, but I know that Dayang is reliable." Li Da said confidently.
During this period, the business of the New Second Regiment was closely tied to Terauchi Isamu. The little Japanese provided supplies, and Li Da was able to find sales in several surrounding counties and sell them to the local armed forces and fraternal forces first. Those that could not be consumed were sold.
By giving old wealth to the landlord, both parties made a lot of money.
An hour later, Watanabe returned happily, "Colonel was very happy to hear the news and ordered me to cooperate with you throughout the process. I will take you to the Liubao stronghold for fire reconnaissance."
"Terauchi Colonel said that in order to reduce your pressure, we have decided to gather troops in the next few days to sweep the main force of the Nine Columns in the northeast. The teams near the Liubao stronghold will be mobilized first, leaving only a few puppet troops to guard the stronghold's gun towers."
"Of course, don't get me wrong. The commander of the temple said that the raids are just for show, otherwise it will be difficult to communicate. I hope you will greet the troops of the Ninth Column and avoid causing accidental injuries."
"And I will personally be in charge of the county seat. Once the Liubao stronghold is launched, I will lead the reinforcements. After you retreat, I will occupy the Liubao stronghold."
Watanabe took a bite of the pork head and continued: "Li Sang, are you okay? Do you need me to send Kang Shunzi to support you?"
"No, it won't be good if our relationship is exposed." Li Da said calmly.
"Yo Xi, then, Li Sang, I'll leave everything to you." Watanabe lowered his head and said.
"No problem, look at it, come on, come on, eat the pig head meat, eat it slowly, no one will compete with you." Li Dajian smiled and greeted Watanabe to eat the meat.
There will be more in a while, I hope everyone will support Sanshui more
