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

Zhao Zhi's briefcase was completely emptied. Yu Bing put his arm around his shoulders and took away the pure gold lighter in his pocket while chatting and laughing.

Yu Bing looked at the lighter, couldn't let it go, and said excitedly,

"Old Zhao, is this inlaid with rubies?"

Zhao Zhi wanted to grab it back, but Yu Bing dodged it, still marveling at it.

"Old Zhao..."

Zhao Zhi knew that he would not be able to come back, so he waved his hand to interrupt Yu Bing and cursed,

"You little jerk, you have no respect for your elders. Stop calling me 'Lao Zhao Lao Zhao' all the time. What's wrong with calling me brother?"

Yu Bing took out a cigarette, lit it with a pure gold lighter, and said with a smile,

"Brother Zhao, thank you for your lighter! It feels different when I light a cigarette with this thing."

"Of course not! I asked a master to custom-make this lighter. It's the only one of its kind in the world!"

Zhao Zhi also took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and said vaguely,

"Come on, light it up for me!"

Seeing Yu Bing standing still, he glared at him and shouted,

"What?! You took my things and you won't even light a cigarette!"

Yu Bing grinned and laughed loudly.

"How can that be? Come, Brother Zhao, I'll light it for you!"

"Is this right?"

Zhao Zhi put the cigarette back in his mouth and leaned forward slightly. When he saw Yu Bing's hand reaching out, he suddenly attacked, holding Yu Bing's wrist with one hand and twisting Yu Bing's fingers with the other hand, trying to snatch the lighter back.

Zhao Zhi is a person who cares a lot about face. He is like a ruby ​​lighter, which is unique. How could he let others have it?

Yu Bing sensed something was wrong when Zhao Zhi asked him to light a cigarette, and he had been on guard against that guy. The moment Zhao Zhi's arm moved, he immediately grabbed the lighter in his palm and refused to let go.

"You are such a good fellow, Old Zhao! You even deceived your own brothers!"

"How dare you say that? You were just robbing the kids of their red envelopes, and now you're picking my pocket! I'm ashamed to be associated with you."

"Bullshit! You keep telling me to call you brother, but is this how you act as a brother? You even want to take back a lighter!"

A group of little rascals were stirring up trouble, some supported Zhao Zhi, and some supported Yu Bing.

"Come on, Uncle Zhao! Come on, Uncle Zhao!"

"Come on, Uncle Yu! Come on, Uncle Yu!"

Most of the boys supported Zhao Zhi, while most of the girls supported Yu Bing. Both sides jumped up in excitement. After a while, Wang Yunan raised the red envelope in his hand and shouted,

"Uncle Zhao will definitely win. If anyone disagrees, let's add some prizes!"

Hu Zhenhua's face darkened and he slapped the little guy on the back of the head.

Wang Yunan looked fierce and annoyed. When he turned around and saw that it was Lao Hu, he ran away and the other children also scattered.

Hu Zhenhua sat on the sofa with his legs stretched out, watching the show quietly. The two guys were secretly competing with each other, their faces flushed red.

Wang Cuicui sent the servants away and went to the kitchen to prepare dishes.

A moment later, Guo Dachong walked in with a frosty face. He found that the two guys were arguing with each other, so he ignored them and sat next to Lao Hu without saying a word.

Hu Zhenhua poured him a cup of tea and asked in confusion,

"Brother Guo, what made you so angry?"

Guo Dachong drank the warm tea handed to him and said angrily,

"I originally wanted to put that bastard Baochang in your guard to gain some experience, but he agreed to it, but last night he took advantage of me being drunk and ran off and hid!"

Hu Zhenhua secretly felt lucky. Guo Baochang was a bastard with a lot of bad habits. Putting him in the guard corps was like a bad apple spoiling the whole barrel. Fortunately, he ran away.

"Brother Guo, the child has grown up and has his own ideas. We should support him more! Only grass can grow under a big tree. If the child wants to succeed, he must be allowed to experience the challenges of society. Baochang looks very smart to me. He will become a great man in the future. Besides, with the influence of our brothers, who would dare to make things difficult for Baochang?"

After hearing this, Guo Dachong felt better. He handed a cigarette to Lao Hu and said calmly,

"Hua Zi, you don't know. Our Guo family is small, and Baochang is our only child. If anything happens to him, how can I explain it to my deceased eldest brother? I'm not worried about anyone else, but I'm afraid that little jerk will die in a woman's belly. He actually built a hot spring villa in Japan and kept dozens of women there!"

"Having such a good time?"

"That's just one of them. That bastard is the head of the Osaka underworld. He's been killing people so many times during land acquisition. I'm really scared..."

Guo Dachong shook his head and said nothing more.

Hu Zhenhua opened his mouth in surprise. In the process of urban development, the emergence of evil forces is a historical inevitability.

Because the interests involved are too great, for some people at the bottom of society, who have low cultural levels and no strong backing in the government, they can only fight their way out.

For government officials, supporting criminals is the only way to maximize their interests and even become local tyrants.

Hu Zhenhua calmed down and said,

"Brother Guo, Baochang is incredible. Let's make some good plans for him. This kid might even become the uncrowned king of Japan."

"Ah? Is this possible?"

"Brother Guo, let me tell you about the development of evil forces."

"Evil forces generally go through three stages: formation, development, and cleansing.

I won’t discuss the formation phase; Baochang has already entered the game, so there’s no point in saying more.”

“The development stage is also divided into three parts.

First, they expand through violence. They commit violent crimes such as intentional injury, provoking disturbances, and extortion to establish a bad reputation, intimidate the public, and expand their sphere of influence. At the same time, they use violence to suppress competitors, seize market share and resources, and maximize their economic interests.

Second, economic infiltration: Illegally acquired funds are invested in legal business areas, such as establishing companies and enterprises, using legal operations as a cover to engage in money laundering and other activities. Furthermore, economic means are used to control more resources and areas, providing financial support for the development of criminal gangs.

Third, they weave networks of relationships. To seek shelter and growth, criminal gangs use money, sex, and other tactics to win over and corrupt government officials and law enforcement officers. They seek protection within the government, leveraging their power and influence to facilitate and protect their illegal and criminal activities, allowing them to grow even more recklessly.

"Baochang is still in the stage of violent expansion. He is harming the little Japanese pigs. This is also anti-Japanese. I support him ten thousand times."

Guo Dachong's mouth twitched a few times and asked,

“What if the local government cracks down?”

"Not in the short term! In a capitalist society, capital is paramount. Baochang is developing its economy. As long as it operates well, everything will be fine. As long as Baochang develops quickly enough and reaches a certain scale, no one will be able to touch it in the future. Just look at the Qing Gang and you'll understand this."

Guo Dachong nodded slightly. The Green Gang was able to be dealt with because Lao Hu played the game ruthlessly and skillfully.

Guo Dachong was still worried. What if a monstrous figure like Lao Hu appeared in Japan? That would be a disaster.

"Hua Zi, I'm still a little worried."
