Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

At 1 o'clock in the evening, the mudflat just a stone's throw away from the temporary group was engulfed in flames.

The artillery regiment fired more than 60 shells, none of which missed.

From this point of view, their business capabilities are still very strong.

Xie Zhiyu shifted his gaze from the gun scope, sniffed, and the smell of gunpowder from a distance was already spreading over.

Deputy Head Zhu Xingquan clenched his fists, his face showing murderous intent.

"The message from above couldn't be clearer. If we don't give in, the next artillery shell will fall on the Temporary 1st Regiment!"

Chief of Staff Zhang Tao said disdainfully,

"They have artillery, and so do we. Even a rabbit will bite when it's cornered. If you piss me off, I'll start with his artillery!"

Zhu Xingquan looked at Xie Zhiyu and asked tentatively,

"Commander, they're conducting exercises, so we can do the same. How about we have the artillery fire two bursts, targeting the open space in front of the artillery regiment? We have the coordinates!"

Xie Zhiyu was a little moved.

The only thing you get in return for compromise is recklessness.

How about showing off your muscles?

Xie Zhiyu shook his head and rejected Zhu Xingquan's proposal.

The higher-ups attach more importance to the 105mm howitzer than the Greyhound assault vehicle. If the secret were leaked, it is hard to say what kind of waves it would cause.

This kind of powerful weapon should be used at critical moments. For the time being, the group must have a few trump cards.

"Unless absolutely necessary, artillery and tanks must not be exposed!"

Chief of Staff Zhang Tao slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily.

"It's so frustrating!"

Xie Zhiyu waved his hand and comforted him,

"What's there to be upset about? We wronged Commander Yu's guards and killed General Li's inspection team. They're the ones who should be upset. Okay, everyone, it's time to sleep and train!"

His face turned serious,

"Pass on my order. The front lines and outposts must be on 24-hour alert. If there is any attack, we will resolutely counterattack!"

Everyone stood at attention.

"Yes!"

At this moment, Hu Zhenhua was standing on a ferry, looking at the bombarded mudflats from afar.

He had arrived earlier, but had not set out for the 1st Temporary Regiment.

The more critical the time, the more clearly you can see a person.

Hu Zhenhua has high hopes for Xie Zhiyu and wants to see how he will respond.

Not long after, Zhuge Lin came over.

"Chairman, a telegram from Xu Yun!"

Hu Zhenhua took it and took a quick look.

"This guy has a pretty cool head! Even with the enemy surrounding him, I remain unmoved! Xie Zhiyu has the demeanor of a great general!"

Zhuge Lin took back the telegram, destroyed it on the spot, and said lightly,

"Chairman, it's time for you to come out!"

"It's late at night, and no one will see you. Go to sleep first and talk about it tomorrow!"

Hu Zhenhua yawned and turned around to go to sleep.

He can sleep, but many people can't.

The most uncomfortable one among them was Guangrong. He was really helpless and had lost all his face.

When the code telegraph was invented, Xie Zhiyu made the excuse that he did not receive it.

Now, Xie Zhiyu didn't react at all when he came to the fore! If nothing unexpected happened, this round of artillery failed to deter the enemy, wasting dozens of rounds in vain.

Yu Guangrong rubbed his brows, feeling completely at his wit's end.

We can't really start a war!

He sighed, and began to retreat, saying,

"Everyone has worked hard, go back and rest!"

Although he was the division commander, he could not bear the responsibility of firing the first shot.

We have already issued a stern warning that no armed conflict is allowed. Strictly speaking, this round of artillery fire is considered a violation of the rules.

Although Xie Zhiyu was unruly, he was still a member of the 203rd Division. His armored vehicles were placed in the 1st Temporary Regiment, which was like putting meat in the pot.

Yu Guangrong wanted to pick it up high and put it down gently, but Li Heng was unwilling to do so. He still wanted to get back at him.

As long as a person does something, he will make mistakes!

The inspection team had plenty of ways to cause trouble for others. As for the Temporary 1st Regiment, they had to take a long-term approach. Xie Zhiyu was not a pushover.

However, there is a solution.

As long as we plan calmly, it is only a matter of time before we kill the group.

Several plans came to Li Heng's mind, and the most feasible one was to add sand.

Aren't you planning to expand your temporary regiment? I'll help you and send a few hundred soldiers to join you!

Fortresses are often breached from within.

The more Li Heng thought about it, the more excited he became. The anger in his heart had to be vented.

It would be very difficult to move the entire temporary group, but it would not be too difficult to deal with individual people.

The first person Li Heng wanted to teach a lesson to was Liu Ermaizi.

The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Liu Ermaizi's words before leaving slapped the entire inspection office in the face.

Before Li Heng had the chance to implement his revenge plan, he received a piece of despairing news: the Red Army was advancing rapidly, and the 51st Army was in danger of being defeated or annihilated.

Chuansha and Zhoupu were successively lost, and the Bailonggang area was the last chance for the 51st Army.

The bad news doesn't end there. The 37th Army stationed in Pudong City, as external aid to the 12th Army, is also at risk of being cut off.

If the two outer armies were lost, the 12th Army would be compressed in the Gaoqiao area and unable to move.

The situation is so critical. If an internal conflict occurs at this time, not to mention whether Xie Zhiyu will fight back, the spit of his colleagues in the army will drown him.

Frustration and resentment surged into Li Heng's heart.

Yuan Shoucheng suddenly came over and said,

"General, good news! We've just apprehended an officer who was reselling airline tickets. If we follow the clues, we'll definitely be able to find evidence against the 1st Temporary Regiment!"

Li Heng waved his hand.

"Forget it, the most urgent task is to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Let's put everything else aside!"

The Inspectorate hadn't even dealt with the 1st Temporary Regiment yet, so it wasn't a good idea to make more enemies.

The invisible enemy is the most terrifying.

There are sellers only when there are buyers.

The reselling of air tickets and boat tickets involves a large number of high-ranking generals, who are not to be trifled with.

I'm afraid that before you even see the shadow of the temporary group, the inspection room will be swallowed up without leaving a trace.

What's more, Xie Zhiyu is just a small regimental commander. Does he have the ability to manage the business of the entire 12th Army?

Yuan Shoucheng was determined to take revenge and tried to persuade him.

"General, it's precisely because we want to improve our combat effectiveness that we need to identify these bad apples. Scalping has seriously affected military morale!"

Li Heng glanced at him calmly and said expressionlessly,

"There are priorities. The soldiers are fighting bravely while the inspection office is investigating in the background. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Yuan Shoucheng's expression froze.

Li Heng changed the subject and continued,

"It's not impossible for you to investigate, but it must be done in secret. Even if you find something, it's best to hold onto it until the war is over before taking any action!"

There was a reason why Li Heng agreed.

Yuan Shoucheng has a strong background, otherwise, he would have been court-martialed just because he was disarmed, and yet he is still alive and well here.

Even if Li Heng disagreed, Yuan Shoucheng could use his connections to investigate.

Since that’s the case, why not go with the flow?

Young man, if you want to get beaten to a pulp, go ahead.

After getting the approval, Yuan Shoucheng ran away happily.

This guy is quite capable. By dawn, he had arrested more than ten officers who were disguised as traffickers, which was a great harvest.

As soon as it was daybreak, he drove to the temporary headquarters of the 1st Regiment.

He was turned away at the gate.

The sentry did report it, but there was no follow-up until noon when Liu Ermaizi appeared with sleepy eyes.

Yuan Shoucheng looked at this guy and immediately became furious.

Liu Ermaizi's hat was askew, his clothes were disheveled, and he looked so sloppy, just like a gangster!

"Hey, isn't this our old acquaintance, Director Yuan? What a rare visitor! Are you craving our regiment's food and want to come and take advantage of it again?"

Yuan Shoucheng was too lazy to argue with him and said coldly,

"Last night, we arrested over ten speculators who were reselling boat and plane tickets. They revealed some interesting things. This could be a big deal or a small one!"

Liu Ermaizi sensed something.

This damn thing is a rip-off.

However, it could also be a sting operation!

It's better to be safe than sorry. Give it a try first.

Liu Ermazi's face showed a flattering smile again.

"The Inspection Office is truly the elite of the Party and the country. Director Yuan has accomplished such a great feat. Promotion and wealth are just around the corner. Ma Zi, congratulations!"

"Thank you very much! Could you please inform Captain Xie?"

Liu Ermazi shook his head.

"Captain Xie is currently training his troops intensively, preparing to fight the invading enemy. I'm afraid he has no time for anything else. Director Yuan, if you have anything to say, please feel free to talk to me. Although I'm just a small logistics officer, I can still make the final decision when it comes to the accounts!"

"Can you make the decision?"

"I can't say more than that, but anything under 100,000 Mi Yuan is no problem!"

When Yuan Shoucheng heard the words "one hundred thousand Mi Yuan", he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

When the Inspectorate handles cases, the victims are all extremely fearful and try their best to find connections. At this time, Director Yuan only needs to give a slight hint and a large sum of money will come into his account.

The routine that was always successful in the past, but it failed temporarily!

Yuan Shoucheng glanced into the camp a few times, and only withdrew his gaze after making sure that he could not see Xie Zhiyu. As a supervisor in the inspection room, he had no deterrent power at all in the Temporary 1st Regiment.

Forget it, let’s just have a good talk with this scoundrel in front of me!

"Secretary Liu, a major battle is imminent. I hope we can resolve our differences peacefully. Hello, I'm fine, everyone's fine! How do you plan to resolve the reselling issue?"

Liu Ermaizi still had that playful and smiling face.

"Director Yuan, what does the reselling matter have to do with our group?"

"If Yuan hadn't obtained solid evidence, he would never have come to bother your group. Secretary Liu, we'd better be frank."

As he spoke, he handed over a file.

Liu Ermaizi didn't dare to accept it casually. For some files, just one look at them would be a serious crime!

Yuan Shoucheng said lightly,

"The wholesale price is 40%, Liu Song, Xu Junru, Han Du..."

He said six or seven names in a row before stopping.

"Secretary Liu, do you want me to dig deeper?"

Liu Ermaizi was horrified when he heard this. Those names were either deputy regimental commanders or division-level generals, all of whom were agents for reselling tickets.

The Inspectorate has dug to this extent, so it is completely possible to close the net and catch fish.

Could it be that the man surnamed Yuan only wants to gain benefits?

Soon, Liu Ermaizi calmed down.

Even if those officers are exposed, it’s no big deal, I’ll cut the cord!

"Director Yuan, this must have been framed. Our group has never engaged in any reselling. You are the justice of the land, and you will surely clear our name!"

Liu Ermazi pulled Yuan Shoucheng aside and whispered,

"Director Yuan, our regiment is not afraid of trouble, but we don't want to get involved either. For Captain Xie, anything that can be settled with money is not a problem."

At this point, Yuan Shoucheng's mouth showed a slight arc,

"The Inspectorate is in trouble! The guys are running around everywhere, and they haven't received their pay in months!"

Liu Ermaizi chuckled. Yuan Shoucheng's words were not a hint, but a naked indication!

However, giving money directly is not possible.

If you give it, it means you feel guilty for the time being.

If you want money, you have to earn it yourself!

Liu Ermazi lowered his voice,

"I wonder if the brothers in the Inspectorate want to have a full meal or every meal?"

"What about having a full meal? What about having a full meal every time?"

Liu Ermaizi smiled obscenely.

"Making a fortune can guarantee you food and clothing for six months – that's a full meal! Becoming a shareholder of a subsidiary of TA Group will give you dividends every year – that's a full meal every day!"

If you want to be a shareholder, you have to invest!

The muscles on Yuan Shoucheng's face twitched a few times.

I came here to slaughter fat pigs, but why do I feel like I’ve become a pig!

What’s even more hateful is that he is still eager to do something else.

What the hell is going on!

"Secretary Liu, how can I become a shareholder of a subsidiary of TA Group?"

"There's a threshold for this, starting at 1 yuan. Chairman Hu promised that the return will double in the first three years. After three years, you can withdraw your shares. If you don't, the chairman will no longer promise a return."

"Is that so?"

Liu Ermazi seemed to be chatting about family matters.

"With these conditions, the foreign devils are crying and scrambling to join. Director Yuan, you are a person with great connections. You can go and inquire before making a decision. Oh, and by the way, many wives of government officials have also joined the ranks of investors."

Yuan Shoucheng knew everything that Liu Ermaizi said, and his family was also involved.

Unfortunately, my family is tied up in real estate and I have very little money to invest.

"Secretary Liu, I don't know what you mean by a full meal?"

Liu Ermazi pointed casually at the woods in the distance.

"There used to be a market in that place, but for some reason, it suddenly disappeared. I wish someone could reorganize it. That market can no longer be described as making a fortune every day, but rather as making a fortune every hour!"

Yuan Shoucheng's face darkened.

Liu Ermaizi asked him to reorganize the black market.

what is this?

Certificate of application?

Yuan Shoucheng was greedy for money, but he had his own principle: he would only take the money earned from doing good things.

Because there are very few people who know about this kind of money, the risk is very small.

If you help others to settle things, not only will they not bear a grudge against you, they will also be grateful to you!

But it’s different when you run a black market. If you take a commission, you are taking food from other people’s mouths, and you will offend a lot of people!

You may hit a wall without realizing it!

Offending people is secondary. The most important thing is breaking the law while enforcing it! If this is discovered by the higher-ups, the consequences will be disastrous!

Yuan Shoucheng shook his head.

The black market is an area he is not familiar with and the risks are too great!

Liu Ermazi's plan failed, so he thought for a moment and came up with another plan.

"Director Yuan's integrity is something I admire. I have a plan that will help Director Yuan achieve new success!"

"Oh, brother, I'm all ears!"

Liu Ermazi looked around and continued in a low voice,

"Didn't you catch some opportunists? I think Director Yuan, you should play the long game and catch the bigger fish!"

Yuan Shoucheng's eyes lit up.

He had already understood Liu Ermaizi's intention.

In order to catch more parasites, the Inspectorate pretends to sell boat tickets and plane tickets. Who can say anything!

But where do those tickets come from?

Liu Ermazi saw Yuan Shoucheng's thoughts and said with a smile,

"Those people you arrest will give you an endless supply of bills!"

Yuan Shoucheng smiled, a very bright smile.

Yes, in order to save their lives, those people will probably give up a batch of bills.

You don’t have to spend a penny!

What business is the most profitable?

Of course it’s a no-cost business!

Yuan Shoucheng felt a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would not have come to the Temporary 1 Group for this trip.

When Liu Ermaizi saw the other person's expression, he knew that the matter was settled.

He has seen many people like this.

He wants to eat mutton, but is afraid of getting smelly, so he has to find a legitimate excuse. As the old saying goes: he wants to be a whore but also wants to be a saint.
