Devil's Army

When Gray Wolf and the relevant commanders of the Huludao Navy and Army were watching their warships passing by the civilian dock, Gray Wolf's guards discovered that a stranger was staring at Gray Wolf.

The guard reminded Gray Wolf, "Captain, there is a suspicious person behind you at seven o'clock."

The gray wolf nodded, indicating that he had noticed this as well.

All the warships passed through the civilian dock and returned to the dock next to the naval barracks.

Gray Wolf and his companions also began to leave the civilian dock. The stranger also followed Gray Wolf and left the civilian dock.

After Gray Wolf left the civilian dock, he and the guards went directly to the special forces camp. The stranger followed behind Gray Wolf and the others.

When they reached a small path leading to the special forces camp, the stranger was still following Gray Wolf and his companions closely.

Suddenly, a figure jumped out from the side of the path and skillfully knocked the stranger to the ground. Another person immediately appeared beside him and quickly searched the stranger's body, but no weapons were found.

"Sir, it hurts, it hurts, please be gentler, I'm not a bad person, I have no ill intentions." The stranger shouted to the guard who knocked him down and twisted his hands behind his back.

"You don't know us, why are you following us?" the guard shouted at the stranger.

Gray Wolf had turned around and walked over. The guard who searched him saluted and said, "Captain, he has no weapons."

"I know this soldier." The subdued stranger said to Gray Wolf.

Gray Wolf waved at the guard, and the guard who had subdued the stranger let go.

The stranger stood up and shook his painfully sprained hands.

"Do you know me? What do you want to talk to me about?" the gray wolf asked the stranger.

"Master Jun, I am Xu Maocai, the one whose warehouse was blown up by the Japanese and you gave me a new one."

The gray wolf looked carefully at the stranger named Xu Maocai, but had no impression of him.

There were many merchants whose warehouses were blown up by the Japanese, and the First Army rebuilt new warehouses for them.

Gray Wolf looked at the stranger and suddenly asked, "Are you the merchant who sells grain?"

Xu Maocai nodded.

"What do you want from me?"

Xu Maocai looked around vigilantly.

"Let's go and sit in the military camp for a while." Gray Wolf knew that Xu Maocai was worried, so he hurriedly greeted him.

Xu Maocai nodded and went to the special forces barracks with Huilang and the others.

Xu Maocai and Huilang came to the meeting room. The guard poured a glass of water for each of them, then closed the door and left.

"General, can you help us take care of this Mr. Hu?" Xu Maocai asked straight to the point.

When the gray wolf heard this, he became interested and leaned over to continue listening.

"This Mr. Hu has been here since the Japanese invaders came. He has become much more restrained since you came. At first, he only asked us to pay a small amount of protection money, but now his appetite is getting bigger and bigger. We have been disturbed so much that we can't do business anymore."

"Why didn't you come and report in at the beginning?"

"At first we thought we could just pay a small amount of protection fee to avoid disaster. But who knew his appetite is getting bigger and bigger now. Not only do we have to pay protection fee, but also warehouse management fee, head tax, etc., and there are more and more items. Food is military-controlled material, and we can't raise the price indefinitely. We have no profit after he asked us to do so. We can only come to see if Junye can help."

"Does this happen all over the dock?"

"Except for your businessmen with military backgrounds, no other businessmen can escape his clutches."

Gray Wolf nodded thoughtfully, because they were close to the cotton and yarn merchant at the dock, and he had never mentioned such things.

The Japanese navy in Jinzhou suffered a heavy blow this time and it is impossible for them to have any thoughts of attacking Huludao in the short term.

The Japanese army in Jinzhou is now in a position of self-preservation and generally will not take the initiative to attack Huludao.

The biggest threat to Huludao is gone for the time being. It is time to clean up these cancers hidden in the sun and restore a safe and fresh environment to Huludao.

Gray Wolf said to Xu Maocai, "You go back first, we will investigate and deal with it later."

Xu Maocai nodded and left. The reason why he was willing to pay money to avoid disaster was that when he was in the Northeast Army, the Northeast Army had suppressed Hu Erye, but it was ineffective. When the Japanese occupied Huludao, Hu Erye also colluded with the devils. Don't even think about the devil suppressing Hu Erye. Now that the First Anti-Japanese Army has recaptured Huludao, he has no confidence whether he can suppress Hu Erye.

After Xu Maocai left, Huilang sent people to Huludao Wharf and the street market to check to see if there were many merchants who were threatened by Mr. Hu to pay protection fees.

In addition, some people were sent to investigate the background of this man named Hu Erye, to see who he was and why he dared to act so tyrannically in the underground of Huludao.

Soon, the special forces who were checking the docks and streets reported that many merchants and vendors at the docks and streets had paid protection fees to this man called Hu Erye. However, Hu Erye was very discerning and collected very little protection fees from the small vendors in the streets, so in order to keep things quiet, the small vendors generally chose to settle privately.

Moreover, this Mr. Hu disappeared for a while when the Japanese were just driven away, but he has started to reappear recently.

The gray wolf nodded and prepared to remove the cancer in the sun.
