Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

(Thanks for the extra update 2/2 which shows who is the best at using permissions)

The operation was completed and the threat was eliminated. The special forces quickly swept the two floors and even hit the ground with the butts of their rifles to see if there were any hidden compartments. They took away everything that looked valuable.

Among them were high explosives, 30 pistols, more than two dozen modified grenades, 5000 yuan in funds for espionage activities, 6 kilograms of gold, a telegraph machine, a code book and a stack of documents compiled in an unknown language.

The special forces packed up these things, and Li Qinwu immediately opened a portal to send them away. Only then did the governor arrive late, and they found nothing except corpses all over the ground.

Back at the Julong Steel Plant, the unconscious Japanese female spy was handed over to the prison guard for interrogation. Li Qinwu now has to deal with several spies swept out of the factory.

Needless to say, the spies from the Japanese were directly thrown to the guards to extract their value. The question now is, how to deal with the spies sent by the foreign powers, the Nationalist government and the Sichuan warlords?

Li Qinwu hesitated for a long time and said to the supervisor: "Send people to the embassies of the major powers to ask if they still want the spies they sent. If they do, redeem them for 10 yuan each. If not, put them in the rubber factory and work them to death."

The supervisor nodded in agreement and added, "We can't just put them back like that. Damn, I hate banana people the most in my life, especially those who work for foreigners. We must leave them something so that they can't engage in espionage activities for the rest of their lives."

Li Qinwu asked: "What are you going to do?"

Discipline warm smile.

"Get an iron dick, heat it up, and brand their faces with it. Then they will have to live with it on their faces for the rest of their lives."

Li Qinwu opened his eyes wide and looked at the instructor's warm smile. He wondered how this cruel guy could smile so brightly and cheerfully. It was so damn cool!

It is said that these clones are all molded using his personality as a template. Although there are more or less of various personalities, they are indeed fragments of his personality. Could it be that he himself has such a perverted side?

He shuddered and shook the thought out of his head.

It doesn't matter if we kill the spies of the Japanese devils and foreign powers for fun, but it's a different story for those sent by the Nationalist government and the Sichuan warlords. After all, those low-level spies are also Chinese. Maybe they will be anti-Japanese fighters on another front. It's not good to kill them or humiliate them. What should we do?

While he was hesitating and thinking, an avatar active in the city sent a message that the Chongqing city guards were gathering, with a total of about a regiment. Special forces members suddenly appeared in the city and killed people, which greatly stimulated the people in power in the city.

Li Qinwu's brain was working rapidly. He knew that his arrival had already put the psychological pressure of the Sichuan warlords to the extreme. The current timing was extremely sensitive. Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui were engaged in the last civil war among the Sichuan warlords, fighting for the throne of the King of Sichuan. At this time, a large force of the Punishment Army appeared in Chongqing. Liu Xiang was afraid that he would go crazy!

Li Qinwu knew that after such a long period of development, the power of the Punishment Army in Sichuan had grown, and it was impossible for the Sichuan warlords to ignore him anymore.

The relationship between the Punitive Army and the Sichuan warlords must be brought to the surface and discussed. The next contact will determine whether Li Qinwu will continue to be the shadow emperor or start a rebellion and establish himself!

To be honest, Li Qinwu was very unsure. With the help of his clone, unifying Sichuan would not be a problem, but he was afraid that the Nationalist government would go crazy and mobilize the entire country to launch a westward expedition!

If a large-scale civil war breaks out before the all-out war between China and Japan, consuming too much national defense power, Li Qinwu will become a sinner for all eternity, so he has no choice but to not come out in the open.

Moreover, Li Qinwu discovered that the Longlong Store, which he opened at the beginning just to make people's lives better, had become an effective means of integrating resources. Every time he opened a Longlong Store in a village, the resources and manpower of that village could be deployed by him.

War is all about the ability to mobilize resources, and the method of deployment used by Longlong Store is very gentle. Longlong Store is located in the area controlled by the Nationalist Government and warlords, and gains local control through commercial means. Longlong Store can collect agricultural products and recruit soldiers. The people can get cheap goods, and the Nationalist Government can obtain tax revenue. It’s a win-win situation!

If Li Qinwu could expand the number of Longlong convenience stores to thousands or tens of thousands before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, he would be able to end the Sino-Japanese War before 1940 and retake the Japanese territory!

So he really doesn't want to fall out with the Nationalist government and the warlords now. The longer he delays, the better it will be for his development!

After thinking for a long time, Li Qinwu couldn't find a way out of the impasse. Then he thought of the high-ranking official Xiang Haigui. This guy tried his best to ask Li Xiao to keep someone by his side. There was no way. Every time Li Xiao came to find him, he would show up directly at his house, which was scary.

Li Qinwu asked the clone to ask Xiang Haigui who is the current person in power in Shanghai?

A few minutes later, the clone sent a message. Xiang Haigui said that the person in power in Chongqing now is Pan Wenhua, who is also the first mayor of Chongqing. However, he is a soldier. Now that the battle between the two Lius is imminent, he has also gone to the front line. The person in charge of the overall situation now is Deputy Mayor Tao Qiming (fictional).

Tao Qiming has a conflicted attitude towards the Longlong Store which is spreading as fast as a virus. On the one hand, he is afraid of the various methods used by the Punitive Army, but on the other hand, he feels that the Longlong Store of the Punishment Army is a national strategy and should be eradicated.

To put it bluntly, they want to take action but dare not. The Punitive Army now has a high reputation among the people. Whether they can win the battle is another matter. Even if they win, you are finished. If you attack the anti-Japanese troops without reason, be prepared to face the anger of the people across the country. The main figures may be asked to step down.

But today, the punitive army soldiers rushed into the city and shot and killed people. This was really ugly, and Tao Qiming had to dispatch troops to respond.

Li Qinwu felt that Tao Qiming was a bit indecisive, and that he should be able to negotiate with him before he made the decision to attack.

He asked the clone to ask Xiang Haigui about Tao Qiming's personality. After a while, the clone sent the information back, saying that Tao Qiming was very capable in handling government affairs. Usually, Pan Weihua made major decisions and Tao Qiming handled miscellaneous matters. The two of them cooperated well, mainly because Tao Qihua did not fight for power.

Tao Qiming attached great importance to the development of military industry. During the years he was in office, he often persuaded Liu Xiang to invest in military industry. In addition, he also supported private enterprises. However, he didn't know why private enterprises could not develop.

Hearing this, Li Qinwu rolled his eyes. With all his subordinates being corrupt officials like Xiang Haigui, there was no way private enterprises could develop.

Through this information, Li Qinwu had some idea of ​​Tao Qiming's character. He felt that he was a relatively upright person. After all, no matter what era it was, the path of saving the country through industry was the right one. This person could see this path and make efforts, so he would not be a treacherous and evil person.

"Should we start with military-industrial cooperation? No, the problem now is that the other party is afraid of the Punishment Army and is hesitating whether to get rid of us. We have to start with other things to solve this problem."

While Li Qinwu was thinking, another message came from Xiang Haigui's clone, saying that Tao Qiming had stomach problems, very serious stomach problems, and had been to the hospital many times.

During this period, because Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui were at war, the entire Chongqing government affairs fell on him, and his stomach problems became more serious. He actually spent half of his time working while lying in bed.

This piece of information gave Li Qinwu an idea. He had a way to have friendly contact with the other party. He used mind sharing to contact Li Tiandi who was studying the "Tao Te Ching".

"Master, I'm going to assign you a mission. Take four spies with you to find Tao Qiming and cure his stomach disease with redemption. Express the Punishment Army's attitude of not wanting to be an enemy of the Sichuan warlords and see if we can have in-depth cooperation."
