After having dinner with the merchant surnamed Li in the evening, Ning Zhong brought his close companion to the hotel with his personal companion, locked the door, and carefully checked every corner. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, I didn't expect that the inspection in Yuzhou was so strict. Fortunately, we made a lot of preparations in advance. You are really foresighted." The follower said in a low voice in Japanese.

In fact, all the identity information of this businessman named Ning Zhong is fake. His real identity is the Japanese Army General Gangmura Yanji who had just captured Jiangcheng.

Kaangmura Yanji said seriously: "Colonel Yamazaki, the military master of China during the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Wu once said that only by knowing yourself and knowing others can you win a hundred battles. I have been in China for so many years, and the only defeat I suffered was the result of begging Wu Jue Ren, so I took the risk of visiting Yuzhou in person. Looking at all the military generals in China, the only thing that made me feel afraid is this legendary general who had been fighting against my imperial army for two months in Jinling. He has made me feel ashamed, but I admire him extremely. Westerners call him the Eastern God of War, which I think is not worthy of, and he deserves it."

"General, you are the one who is worthy of your admiration. You can face your enemies and summarize your experiences and lessons. I believe you will definitely be able to defeat this so-called Eastern God of War in the future." Colonel Yamazaki praised in a low voice.

Gangcun Ningji sighed and said in a deep voice: "It's not easy to defeat Wu Siren and his tax police troupe. Look at Luoyi City, have you not found out that there are any shops? What kind of cloth shops, grain and oil shops, restaurants, and pharmacies. If I hadn't seen the patrol military and police passing by from time to time in the city, I would have felt like I had returned to the Taiping period. It's already amazing to be able to understand how to fight the world. The key is that Wu Siren also knows how to govern the people. An armed force that focuses on people's livelihood is difficult to defeat. At least there is no troops of more than 200,000, and I am not sure about defeating Wu Siren."

Colonel Yamazaki said angrily: "It's a pity that the senior officials of the Imperial Army who only know how to talk about war on paper all think that Wu Sairen is just a scabies itch and ignores the suggestions you submitted by General. There are also those profit-oriented merchants in the empire. Today, the Osaka vendors have lost all the face of the empire and completely ignore the interests of the empire. They are investing in the enemy. After they go back, I will definitely report to the Edo base camp."

"It's useless. Don't blindly expose the behavior of these merchants to the base camp. Maybe they will get into trouble for no reason. In order to maintain their huge military strength, the empire has begun to become a little short of economic difficulties and urgently needs to explore new sources of wealth. As long as these merchants can bring benefits to the empire, no one will pursue these behaviors that undermine the empire's policies."

In fact, there was nothing Kamura Yanji didn't say, and he knew very well that the beneficiaries who launched the war of aggression in Japan were not ordinary Japanese people, but royal aristocrats and merchant chaebols.

Colonel Yamazaki didn't know about Neji Kamura's psychological activities, and said helplessly: "I really don't understand how Wu Siren's head is. He dared to let the merchants of the empire enter his resident defense zone. Are you not afraid of getting angry?"

Kazumura Yasuji praised: "This is what I admire most about Wu Siren. Whether it is governing the military or the people, he is not restricted and knows how to take advantage of the situation. This is a complete pragmatist."

"I really don't understand why such a person appeared in China. We need to remove such a big problem as soon as possible, otherwise the empire will suffer huge losses in the future." Yamazaki said gritting his teeth.

Kamura Yanji said helplessly: "For Wu Siren himself, the empire has tried every means, and the coercion, temptation and even assassination failed. General Kenji Doihara even sent his most elite personnel to North America to kidnap Wu Siren's family to threaten him to submit. Unfortunately, things went against his wishes in the end. These excellent agents of the empire were all invincible and dead. Okay, let's not talk about these. Did Wu Siren find out in the arsenal in Yuzhou?"

Colonel Yamazaki smiled bitterly and said, "There is no progress, and there is no news about many of the intelligence personnel sent. I even suspect that Wu Siren built the arsenal underground."

"We must find this arsenal at all costs and destroy it. The information we summarized shows that the arsenal has a very large production capacity, and the performance of the artillery and firearms produced is no less than that of the military department of the empire. This threat is too great."

Gangmura Neji is not worried about anything. The main reason why the Japanese army can completely suppress the Chinese army is, in addition to the individual quality, the most important thing is the advantages in weapons. Wu Siren built a military factory that can produce tens of thousands of rifles per month. How could he not let Gangmura Neji, the Huaxiatong worry?

"The Beishi will send more personnel to destroy the arsenal even if it is done."

Gangmura Yanji and his subordinates continued to negotiate various plans for Yuzhou. At the same time, Wu Siren was also discussing with Xu Zhongyi how to continue to expand the scale of trade.

"Zhongyi, you have made great contributions to the economy of Yuzhou in the past two months. But I don't understand one thing very well. How could a person like Mr. Chang who cherishes feathers allow you to do business with Japanese people under his name?"

Wu Siren handed Xu Zhongyi a ‘cohiba’ cigar and asked with a smile.

Xu Zhongyi cut the cigar package, took a deep breath after igniting it, and said, "The prince was forced to go to Liangshan. The chairman's support was limited, so it would be fine if his stepmother didn't say it. I told him at the time that if we want to make the business bigger and stronger and get more benefits, we must bring all forces in. The Kong family, the Song family, the important members of all parties, and even the Japanese and American foreign merchants must be included. As the saying goes, there are many people and the powers, and all parties are involved. The more benefits the eldest son gets, the less risks it will be."

Wu Siren asked jokingly: "Don't he suspect that you are using your power to dig a hole for him?"

"Mr., how can this be a pit digging? The prince is very satisfied with the recent gains. It is said that the "Iron-Blooded Youth Army" under his command has expanded to more than 5,000 people. Without these gains, he can't afford to support so many soldiers. Mentor, the eldest son has formed an army of so many people on your territory. Are you not worried that he will occupy the nest?"

Xu Zhongyi asked with a slight radiance in his eyes.

Wu Siren said calmly: "The military and political power in Yuzhou is in my hands. As long as the Japanese have not been driven out of China, my position will be as solid as a rock. As for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I guess I will leave my armor and return to the country, accompany my wife and children, and be a rich man."

"Mr., the prince will not care about me now. He still needs me to help him get money, but his reputation has been somewhat damaged because of me. In the future, the War of Resistance Against Japan will not be able to kill the donkey, but my life will definitely not be easy at that time. I hope that my master will be able to help you with the students because of Zhongyi's support."

Xu Zhongyi's attitude was very sincere. He knew in his heart that if Wu Siren did not help him, he would have to wait for the settlement of the score.
