Devil's Army

In the morning, when He Shitu got up, Leng Feng and Barun were already doing exercises in the yard. He Shitu came over and said hello:

"Good morning, both of you."

"We soldiers are used to it." Leng Feng replied.

"Come over and have breakfast with me after you're done. After breakfast we'll go back to the factory together. Is that convenient for you?"

"Okay." Leng Feng wiped the sweat from his face and went into the dining room with Barun.

While eating breakfast, Boss He and Leng Feng discussed details such as the factory relocation and the workers' resettlement. After talking for a while, the three of them called two rickshaws to go back to the factory together.

When he arrived at the factory, He Shitu stopped the workers who were working and gathered them in the factory canteen. He Shitu shouted to everyone in front of the canteen:

"Brothers, you came to my factory just to make some money to support your family. But I am incompetent. I can't get more orders. I only work for less than half a month every month, and you all have to suffer with me."

"The world is not easy nowadays. It's good enough to have a stutter." said a foreman among the workers.

The workers all nodded. Life had indeed become more difficult since the Japanese came.

"The person standing next to me is Boss Leng. He has a large number of orders that can allow us to produce the baby in full term, but because his location is quite remote, I plan to move the factory to his place. They have a quartz mountain there, so the raw materials will be easily available. Do you have any objections?"

The workers below were in an uproar, discussing the matter at once. After all, no one wanted to leave their homeland.

"Boss Leng agreed to build a glass factory dormitory compound in their area, and every worker who goes there can get a house for free. If your spouse goes there, we can try to arrange a job for him/her, and the children can go to school there."

He Shitu treated the workers well, and many of them were old employees of the glass factory. So most of them immediately agreed to go together. Those whose wives did not have jobs would bring their families with them. Those whose wives had jobs in Fengtian would go alone and come back to see their wives during their vacations.

"Thank you for your support, Mr. He. I will make everyone's life better and better." He Shitu said to the workers with a fist. "You guys go to work first. I will go with Mr. Leng to inspect the new site and make plans for the new factory."

The workers dispersed one after another, and He Shitu took Leng Feng and the others back home. At home, Mrs. He had packed her luggage in advance and bought some snacks that He Shuzhen liked to eat. Then she locked the door, and the four of them called a carriage to leave Fengtian City.

Leng Feng and his companions got off the carriage in the woods outside Fengtian City. The two horses were still tied in the woods. Leng Feng took out the soybeans he bought in Fengtian City and fed them to the horses. He Shitu and his wife also got off the carriage and strolled around the woods for a while.

After a while, the two horses were full. Leng Feng and his companions rode on the horses and took He Shitu's carriage to the outskirts of the Oroqen tribe forest.

Since it was inconvenient for the carriage to travel in the forest, He Shitu and his wife got off the carriage at the outskirts of the forest, and then walked to the Oroqen tribe with Leng Feng and his friends.

Leng Feng had just returned to the reception room of the Oroqen tribe when the messenger came over to report:

"Captain, the captain of the Second Battalion, Wen Lang, said that the Second Battalion cannot find anyone to take over his job for the time being. Can you let Wu Lang take over his position?"

Leng Feng thought about it and decided that Wu Lang and Wen Lang had worked together for a while, so he was the most suitable candidate. He agreed and asked the messenger to call Wu Lang over. He also called He Shuzhen over.

Not long after the messenger left, a girl in a yellow military uniform rushed in. She raised her hand and was about to shout a report, but suddenly saw her parents sitting in the reception room. She turned around and tried to slip away.

"Stop, where are you going now? Don't you want to see us forever?" How could He Shuzhen's parents, who had been staring at the door eagerly, not see her come in?

He Shuzhen glared at Leng Feng fiercely, then said with a smile:

"Oh, Mom and Dad, I didn't see you for a while, when did you come here?"

"You don't have to glare at Captain Leng. He asked us to come here for something."

"What else could it be? You can only bring you here to take me back. But I won't go back." He Shuzhen pouted unhappily.

Mrs. He saw her daughter who had been missing for more than a month appeared in front of her intact, her nose felt sore and she wanted to cry, but because Leng Feng was beside her, she had to hold back.

Leng Feng saw the situation and stood up and said to He Shuzhen:

"I do have something important to discuss with Director He. You and your family can reunite first. I will come to talk to you later. Then he turned and left the reception room.

As soon as Leng Feng walked out of the reception room, Wu Lang ran over. Leng Feng waved at him and went outside with him to talk.

Leng Feng said to Wu Lang as they walked:

"I'm planning to build an arsenal and a pharmaceutical factory. Many things here cannot be done without Wen Lang. So I want to transfer Wen Lang back, and you can be transferred there to serve as the captain of the second battalion. What do you think?"

"I'm fine. Shall we go now?" Wu Lang responded readily.

"It doesn't take half a day. It's hard to walk in the forest at night. Let's go tomorrow morning. Take two soldiers with you so that we can look after you on the road."

"Yes, Captain, any other instructions?"

"Nothing."

Wulang saluted, turned and left.

Leng Feng paced outside for a while and then returned to the reception room.

When Mrs. He saw Leng Feng coming back, she quickly wiped the tears from her face and smiled embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry to make you, Boss Leng, laugh at me."

"No, no, it's human nature." Leng Feng waved his hand and then asked He Shitu: "Boss He, are you free now? Let's go to the new factory site?"

"Okay, Boss Leng, please lead the way."

Leng Feng took two small pills from a bottle in the reception room, handed one to He Shitu, and then took him to the miasma forest on the right side of the tribe.
