Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

The banquet lasted until late at night. The soldiers of the Punishment Army had a good time before the battle, and then planned to return to their respective posts to prepare for the battle.

Everyone began to clean up the garbage, cleaned up the village, and then moved away from the village to an uninhabited mountainous area to wait for evacuation.

While waiting, Li Xi found Li Qinwu and had a conversation with him.

"Boss, what color do you think the people are?"

Such a big question stumped Li Qinwu. Seeing that Li Qinwu didn't know how to answer, Li Xi started talking on his own.

"Boss, when I came to this village, I found that there was a bully landlord in the village. He occupied 60% of the land in the village and did all kinds of evil in the village.

When the Longlong Store was first built, the landlord said he wanted to offer sacrifices to the Dragon King in order to have a good harvest next year, so he drowned the two girls in the river! "

Li Qinwu frowned when he heard this.

"Then he deserves to die!"

Li Wei nodded in agreement.

“That’s what I thought at the time, so I wanted to get rid of him, but I wanted the local people to do it themselves.

After all, I am just an outsider. If I am bullied by the landlords and bullies, the worst that can happen is that I can just walk away. But this matter concerns their lives, so I hope they can wake up and fight for their own interests.

It’s just a pity that when I was organizing people in the village and trying to develop a force to defeat the landlord bullies, the villagers took the lead in attacking me!

They believed that my appearance would disrupt the order that had been operating there for thousands of years. Even though this order was digging their bones and eating their flesh, they still inexplicably maintained this order!

Boss, you just met my wife's parents. They are both honest farmers and look very kind, right? At that time, the landlord bully felt that sacrificing two girls was not enough and wanted to continue sacrificing. The most suitable girl in the village was my wife.

Logically speaking, when I started to call for the overthrow of the landlords and bullies, my father-in-law and mother-in-law should have been the most supportive, but at that time they stood on the side of the landlords and bullies without hesitation, although they looked very hesitant. "

At this point, Li Wei sighed and shook his head, apparently speechless by this absurd world.

Li Qinwu sighed and said, "The feudal system has been in operation in rural my country for thousands of years. Local farmers are trapped on the land. The outside world is unfamiliar to them, and they are full of fear of the outside world.

Although the landlord bullies are blood-sucking leeches lying on their heads, the power they possess makes them the representatives of the local order. You want to destroy this order and create a new one, but you do not have enough power, so you will naturally suffer backlash.

Even if you are doing it for their own good, they will instinctively side with the landlords and bullies, if for no other reason than to maintain order.”

This is actually one of the reasons why Li Qinwu did not pursue the path of hegemony. If he became a warlord, these rural problems would be laid bare in his face.

He will spend a lot of manpower and resources to solve these social problems, but in the context of the Japanese about to launch a full-scale war, it is obviously unwise to devote energy to solving these problems.

It would be better to use Longlong Grocery Store to integrate the resources of various rural areas as it is now, without having to bear the pressure of social reform.

Li Wei nodded and continued, "Yes, they think that I, an outsider, am disrupting the local order, so even if the landlord bully wants to take away their daughter, they will still stand on the side of the landlord. They instinctively feel that standing on the side of order is standing on their side, even if this order was designed to plunder them from the beginning.

Until I pulled out my pistol, killed the landlord's entire family, and disrupted the local order with lightning speed.

The peasants who had previously threatened to kill me began to fear me and wanted to sue the government. I immediately divided up the money and grain from the landlords. They immediately calmed down and began to praise and flatter me, but I saw cunning in their eyes, peasant-like cunning.

They protected me and made me the local boss. I became the new order, but I knew that was just an appearance. Their idea was that if the government came one day and found that the local landlord had been killed, they would push me out as a scapegoat, return the land, and return to normal life.

But today you came, more than 1 soldiers, and the way they looked at me was no longer cunning, but full of fear and awe. "

Li Xi took out a cigarette, gave one to Li Qinwu, lit it up himself and took a puff.

"So what color do you think the people are? From what I've seen, their resistance to new things, their little thoughts, I think they are gray."

Li Qinwu also took a puff of cigarette and said, "You are a little obsessed. Well, actually, gray is made by mixing various colors.

The people should be colorful. There should be good people, bad people, active people, and lazy people. Overall, they should present a lively picture.

It’s just that today’s society is too oppressive, causing them to lose this vitality, and what is presented to you is a lifeless gray.

It will be fine. Once we drive away the Japanese invaders and liberate the people, everything will be fine and they will be full of vitality again."

The two men sat there and smoked a cigarette. More than 1 people had almost gathered, and Li Qinwu patted Li Xi on the shoulder.

"Okay, don't think too much. If this is a red text, what you do in the countryside can dye them red.

Go back, your wife is still waiting for you to enter the bridal chamber, remember to turn off the mind sharing!"

He opened a portal and the army poured into the portal.

Li Xi pondered for a while, then smiled in relief. He finally said to Li Qinwu: "The reason why the people of Huangtu Village changed their attitude towards me is the change in the balance of power.

Boss, actually our power is very dangerous now. Many of our industries are sandwiched between the territories of local warlords and the Nationalist Government. The Nationalist Government and local warlords have to deal with various things and cannot deal with us, so their attitude towards us now is to leave us alone.

But what if one day they are able to withdraw their strength, the balance of power changes, and they have enough strength to deal with us?

Boss, our current development is like that of a parasite. We don't have to bear any social responsibilities, and we won't cause a falling out between the warlords because of our infringement on their interests. But our existence itself is a threat to them.

For our future development, I suggest that we still have our own base, a base where we have full control and no other forces have any control over it!"
