Li Mingshun's wharf was almost completed, but at this critical moment, there was a funding gap. He went to Yin Pushan and Jin Xiuyu, but both ministers had no money.

Something even worse happened: the workers went on strike and did not get their wages.

Originally, it was impossible for the workers to know that Li Mingshun had financial problems. However, there is no wall that is impenetrable. What the workers heard was not that he had no money, but that he was going to go bankrupt and run away with the money.

The news was leaked by the newspaper. Iven instructed a tabloid to publish the news that Li Mingshun's Japanese investors had withdrawn their capital, and also cursed him as a dog of Japan and a running dog of Japan's economic aggression.

For a time, public opinion was surging and the saliva almost drowned Li Mingshun, and both ministers were affected.

Later, another voice appeared in the newspapers, saying that it would be the best choice to let Sanhua Group, a national enterprise of Han Country, take over the wharf.

Li Mingshun and the two ministers knew clearly that it must be Li Xiuzhe's people who were behind this.

The workers refused to work, and Li Mingshun used both soft and hard tactics, but failed to make them submit.

Yin Pushan was furious and found the Chief of Staff, who sent soldiers from the Han Army to suppress the rioting workers.

The General Staff Headquarters happened to have an army, the newly formed Taegeukgi Army, and decided to use the workers for training.

A battalion of soldiers entered the construction site and were about to take action when the battalion commander discovered that dozens of blond, blue-eyed, big-nosed American reporters were holding video cameras and waiting for them to attack the workers.

The battalion commander was not the kind of person who would act rashly and report it immediately. The chief of staff was terrified and ordered everyone to withdraw.

The workers escaped a disaster.

However, Minister Yin Pushan would not give up and suggested that the soldiers wear plain clothes and act at night.

The Chief of Staff thought it was a good idea and gave the battalion commander a plan to wear plain clothes and cover their faces. Since the reporters were still there, they would be beaten as well.

The battalion commander of the Taegeukgi unit was filled with enthusiasm and was determined to make great achievements. He decided to seize this opportunity and gain some experience.

As night fell, he led his men into the dock.

After the workers finished their meal, they sat together and chatted.

The Taegeukgi troops came and used sticks to deal with the workers without any guns.

When the worker saw this, he was furious. He yelled and picked up his weapons.

They received the news in advance and were well prepared. They took out table legs and fought with the Taegeukgi troops.

The workers have plenty of strength, and if they are hit by a stick, the skin will be torn apart.

Most of the people in the Taegeukgi army are rich young masters. People like Mingcan are there. Even though they have more people, they can't gain any advantage once a fight starts.

Mingcan hit a worker on the back with a wooden stick, and the stick broke. The worker's eyes turned red, and he threw the table leg, lifted Mingcan up, and threw him to the ground.

When the melee started, someone informed reporters that they had arrived in a truck and had mounted the machine on the truck.

When the battalion commander of the Taegeukgi unit saw this, he was outrageous and rushed towards the reporters with a wave of his hand, thinking, I can't beat the workers, and I can't beat you either.

When they got closer, they were shocked to find that the reporters not only had cameras but also submachine guns, and they opened fire at them.

The members of the Taegeukgi troops were terrified and turned around and ran away. Dozens of them were knocked down in the process.

Ivan arrived at the scene in a sedan and said to the reporter: "Did you record the scene of shooting them? Remember to delete it."

The Chief of Staff of the Han Army did not expect that the elite troops would be so incompetent that they could not even deal with the workers, so how could they go to the battlefield?

The battalion commander explained: "Sir, those people are definitely not workers. You can tell from one glance that they have received rigorous training."

The Chief of Staff slammed the table in anger: "You have also received rigorous training."

“But those reporters were shooting in the back.”

The Chief of Staff sighed, comforted the battalion commander with a few words, and sent him away.

The subordinate then brought a package, which shocked the general manager. Could it be a bomb? The subordinate explained: "It's a videotape."

After watching the videotape, the Chief of Staff was dumbfounded. All of them were scenes of Taegukgi troops fighting with workers. Most of the time, the workers were being beaten, but his soldiers were not beaten for even a second. Could it be that this part was not filmed? The worst thing was that some soldiers had identification documents on them, which were left on the battlefield and were filmed.

Along with the videotape came a letter, which was an explicit threat: the videotape could be sold to the Director-General, and he could name a price.

The Chief of Staff was furious: "This is blackmail."

No matter how angry you are, you can't vent your anger. You can only suffer in silence and buy peace with money. If the videotape is leaked, it will not only have a bad impact, but it will also expose the entire unit, which will cause big trouble.

Ivan received ten gold bars. He took out two to share with the reporter, gave three to Qiao Youzhi, and kept five for himself.

The one with the biggest headache was Li Mingshun. He tried the most despicable methods but still couldn't get the workers to return to work. He was really desperate, but he still didn't give up. The Japanese Yongyin Group agreed to invest, which was his last hope.

The telegram from Yongyin about the remittance came into his hand. He picked it up and read it, and almost vomited blood.

Yongyin Group has gone crazy and transferred the money to Sanhua Bank. Isn't this like throwing meat buns at a dog?

The last straw is broken.

Minister Jin Xiuyu of the Ministry of Economic Affairs came to him and proposed a solution: to seek a loan from Sanhua Bank.

Li Mingshun looked at Minister Jin warily. Which side does the old guy belong to? Even if I want a loan, I can't go to Li Xiuzhe. I have borrowed money from him and I am in debt. He still won't let me build the wharf happily. If the wharf is not built, I have to pay him for it. I can't get my investment back and I am in debt again. Am I crazy!

He rejected Minister Jin's kindness without hesitation and decided to negotiate with Li Xiuzhe in person.

Li Xiuzhe wants to take over the dock completely.

Li Mingshun also became anxious: "What about my losses?"

Li Xiuzhe laughed: "I forgot, you also put in a lot of effort."

“That’s real money.”

"Well, there are two options, one is cash compensation, and the other is 10% of the shares."

"I choose the latter." Li Mingshun said, "You definitely won't give me US dollars in cash. Give me cold yuan. What's the difference between that and waste paper?"

That’s how it was settled; the two docks became the property of the Sanhua Group.

When Qiao Youzhi received the news, he felt mixed emotions. He should have been happy about the great victory, but after being reminded by Genis, he became worried.

Without showing any emotion, he partied with Li Xiuzhe for several days, then set off for Japan, found Major General Robey, and asked him to take away an officer, Lieutenant Roy, who had been on missions in Japan for several years.

Roy was reaching retirement age, and Qiao Youzhi saw this and recommended him to Guinness to be his deputy.

Roy was worried about finding a job after retirement, and he was overjoyed when he received the recommendation from Officer George.

Genis also took a fancy to his experience in Japan over the years and recommended him to Yongyin's boss Nagayama Masaichi.

A powerful force landed on the peninsula, and the dying Li Mingshun regained his vitality.

Li Xiuzhe noticed this force and after asking around, he gasped. The other party seemed to be from Japan, but in fact they were supported by the United States. This was difficult to deal with, so he had to ask for help from Chief George, but they were all Americans...
