The news that Ma Quanyou was captured by agents of the Principality of Montenegro from the deserted land of the White Sea and put on trial made headlines in major newspapers in the Principality.
At the same time, news spread like wildfire that many tribes in the Land of Desolation respected His Royal Highness the Prince and signed agreements with the Principality, and would work with the Principality's border guards to fight against the White Sea bandits.
…
Wuhan, the newly established bandit suppression headquarters.
Lu Ming was holding a military meeting.
The main legions have been withdrawn. In Wuhan, the newly formed Wuhan Border Guard Regiment was established. Company Commander Wang was promoted to Commander Wang, and was also appointed as the commander-in-chief of the suppression campaign.
Participating in the meeting were the chief of the political training department, deputy regimental officer, chief of staff, logistics director and other major officers of the regiment, as well as the battalion commanders and political training section chiefs of the four border defense battalions.
Lu Ming's mind was actually no longer here. The new army was first organized and needed a series of reorganization training.
After that, working with tribal armed forces to suppress bandits was not a big problem at all.
However, Lu Ming still felt a little emotional when he thought of the farewell scene half a month ago.
The tribesmen all regarded themselves as great benefactors and did not want to leave. Tongnu, Datong, and Ertong made gestures, hoping that they would stay and become the masters of the tribes.
In fact, I am very curious about the depths of the Land of Desolation, but now is not the time for exploration. I will talk about it later when I have the opportunity.
He told them with gestures that he was the incarnation of the Prince of Black Mountain Castle outside.
Outsiders knew these words, and they thought they were the prince's subordinates and deliberately mythologized the prince. They took advantage of the tribe's ignorance and deified themselves to gain their worship and submission.
For the tribesmen, it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. Anyway, they performed three swords and six holes for the new generation leaders such as Tongnu, and they performed a performance of turning into a corpse and then coming back to life for a day.
From this, all tribes respected themselves as their divine masters.
I also used Xiao Hei to lead the way, and took Da Tong and the others on several outings to find the best route to Wuhan.
From this, they can send trade personnel to Wuhan regularly to conduct transactions. If the headquarters is preparing to attack the White Sea bandits, they can also contact the tribes through this route and attack from the east and west.
As for Xiao Hei, they found a few more female yaks and sent them by train to Montenegro to be pampered and become sacred cows.
Needless to say, Xiao Hei is very spiritual and recognizes people from a different angle than humans. In Black Mountain, he recognized himself and was very affectionate with him.
Tuoba Lan and other female relatives of senior generals from the Yuan Ma and Chen Bandits, including mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and even granddaughters, totaling more than a hundred people, are serving their sentences in the Wuhan Women's Special Labor Camp. Of course, the work is still very easy. , they are generally well-educated, but they mostly do literary work.
There is a shortage of cultural cadres in Wuhan. In fact, from a certain perspective, they are serving as prisoners but doing clerical work for the agency.
For example, Tuoba Lan even went to and from the labor camp and the Suppression Commander-in-Chief, just like commuting to and from get off work.
In the Suppression Headquarters, she was the cultural instructor of the soldiers, and the entire regiment had an hour-long cultural class every day.
Even in this conference room, she was also taking notes as a secretary.
The officers had heard that she had a special relationship with Commander Wang, but they couldn't tell. It seemed that she had coldly blocked off their feelings, especially when facing Commander Wang, she was like a mechanical walking zombie.
In fact, if the man is single and the woman is divorced, Captain Wang is the hero and she is the beauty. It doesn't matter if they become a couple, and there is no need to hide it from others. Obviously, the two of them really don't call each other.
After today's meeting, Captain Wang went back to rest as usual.
Everyone knows that Captain Wang went deep into the barren area, single-handedly wiped out the Ma and Chen gangs, and captured Ma Quanyou alive. He is truly a legendary hero.
But after thinking about it, I have experienced unbearable hardships for ordinary people, and my mental and physical strength have been greatly damaged. It is right to take good care of myself.
What's more, there are many trivial matters in the reorganization of the new army, and Commander Wang does not need to worry about them.
…
Enter your own dormitory at the regiment headquarters and lie down.
When Lu Ming opened his eyes again, he was on the ship.
A ship sailing to Xianquan Port in Japan.
This is the body of Commissioner Zhang. He has resigned as Governor of Xiangxi and has no new identity for the time being.
But standing next to Lu Ming on the deck was Erika's father, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who was about to take up his post as chief director of the Sensen Port Public Affairs Board.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu accompanied Xiao and chatted with Lu Ming, thinking that Governor Zhang's visit to Xianquan was a secret mission personally entrusted by His Highness the Prince.
Ashikaga Erika was holding on to the railing on the side, looking at the blue sea, looking very happy.
She wore a beautiful blue and white patterned kimono, cute white socks and clogs. She had undergone a transformation and became even more stunningly beautiful. The surrounding scenery seemed to have turned into a black and white world under her reflection.
After living in a foreign country for three or four years, she returned to her hometown for the first time and was traveling with her parents. She was extremely happy.
He even bumped into Lu Ming's side from time to time, holding Lu Ming's arm and giggling.
Smelling the girl's fragrance, Lu Ming was slightly tipsy, but it was difficult for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to notice anything strange.
Lu Ming finally decided to use the body of Commissioner Zhang to operate in Japan. After all, his relationship with the Ashikaga family made this body very unusual.
One mind and four bodies are completed. In fact, it can be said that the four bodies are all his own true self, and he also has four lives.
Today, Commander Wang is in Wuhan.
Commissioner Li went to Antiguara Autonomous Prefecture.
As the Sonia Kingdom of the second prince expanded, its sphere of influence reached Hanzhou, and the strategic location of Antiguala, not far from Hanzhou, became even more important.
Fortunately, it has been in business for two or three years and has achieved some results.
The "Biyun" municipality that Commissioner Li went to take over already has an airport.
Commissioner Li was originally prepared to come to Japan. After all, from a system perspective, Commissioner Zhang has always been running the business in Antiguala. Even if people don't go, Commissioner Zhang is still controlling the situation.
However, intelligence shows that Prime Minister Yamamoto has secretly contacted the flight company of the Kingdom of Sonia to purchase fighter jets and bombers.
Obviously, it is urgent to further eliminate Japan's war potential. Therefore, heavyweights must come to Japan so that decisions and actions can be made faster.
Commissioner Li seemed to have insufficient weight.
Commissioner Zhang, who has a close relationship with the Ashikaga family, became the most suitable candidate.
Commissioner Li went to Antiguala as Commissioner Zhang's plenipotentiary representative.
…
Xianquan Port, because it is located in the south of the Japanese Islands, was originally underdeveloped.
Several ports in the west are closer to the mainland of the empire, especially to the East China Sea Port, and are the main trading ports.
The population of Xianquan Port and its surrounding areas is only a few hundred thousand, and the appearance of the city is exactly the same as the eastern island country that Lu Ming pictured in his previous life in the 1940s and 1950s.
There are various traditional Japanese wooden buildings, as well as three- and four-story shopping malls and apartment buildings with cement-coated exterior walls.
There are also crowds of people on the street, including men and women in traditional clothes, as well as pedestrians in various new clothes.
It is said that the economy is not very developed, but in the past Northern Territory, except for Shengjing, there was no city that could compare with this small fairy spring in terms of appearance and level of civilization.
Moreover, after a few months of belonging to the Principality of Montenegro, changes were obvious. More and more ships were berthed at Xianquan Port, and the port area also began to expand.
In addition, Xianquan Port is a small island, and a steel bridge is currently under construction to connect Xianquan Island and the Japanese mainland.
On the other end of the bridge, there are about 3,000 square kilometers of wasteland that are also managed by Xianquan Port. Nowadays, large buildings are rising in response.
In fact, most Japanese businessmen come to invest here.
The eyes of the merchants are sharp, especially since Xianquan Port has joined the free trade plan of the Eastern Economic Alliance of the Empire as a free trade port, and implements the laws of the East China Sea.
Excluding the risk of war, any investor with foresight will know that this will be a land of rare opportunities.
Because since Prime Minister Yamamoto came to power in a coup, he has abandoned the governance strategies of previous prime ministers, including the former Ashikaga Prime Minister, and has increasingly restricted the economy and ideology.
Once a window is opened, the place where dictatorship confines thoughts will undoubtedly become a dreamland with an extremely dynamic economy.
After Ruian Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Imperial China Group, announced that the property insurance coverage for enterprises and industrial and commercial operators in Xianquan New City could include "war risk", investors from Japan, Donghai, and Montenegro flocked in, fearing that they would be late. , lost the initiative.
There are even some royal merchants from Japanese lords investing here.
In fact, not only businessmen, but also many middle-class people and young people who have been enlightened by new ideas are increasingly feeling suffocated under Yamamoto's rule. They also come here to look for job opportunities, hoping to live in a land where the laws of the East China Sea are implemented.
It was under such a situation that Lu Ming entered Xianquan Port.
