This river is the main road leading to the outside world from the city ahead. It has been blocked by Martians for a long time, and the goods in the city cannot be transported out at all.
The military of the Red Sun Empire did not dare to clean up the river, and these businessmen did not have the courage to do so.
But now people from the Chinese Republic came forward to clean up the river. When they saw that it could lead to the outside, they naturally commanded the fleet as soon as possible to transport the accumulated goods out from here.
Because of the attacks by demonic insects and red Martians, land transportation is now extremely dangerous. Only water transportation on the water and at sea is still in the hands of the Red Sun Empire's military. These merchants can only use water or sea routes.
Li Weiguo naturally knew about this situation. He had already understood the situation here before coming here. So when he saw these merchants and the ships filled with goods, he knew what these merchants wanted to do.
Li Weiguo didn't bother to talk nonsense with these businessmen, so he directly asked his engineering soldiers to make a huge reminder sign. It says on it, if you want to pass, just come and pay.
"Sir, is it really okay for us to do this?"
When the engineers saw this line of writing, they couldn't stand it anymore. They cleared the river just to make it easier for the army behind them to advance.
He thought that since these businessmen wanted to pass, let them live well. As long as the river is not blocked, there won't be any problems.
Li Weiguo raised his hand, hit the engineer soldier hard on the head, and then said: "Don't you want to make some extra money? Besides, we have put a lot of effort into cleaning up the river, and it's also wasted. A lot of bombs.”
"yes!"
When the engineers heard that there was extra money to be made, they immediately took the order and placed the newly made sign in the most conspicuous position of the river.
The businessmen quickly noticed the content on this sign. They immediately started to stir up trouble here. Some people said that they had been walking this river for hundreds of years and had never paid a penny.
Even the government of the Red Sun Empire encountered huge resistance when it wanted to do this before, and was unable to implement it at all.
Now the people from the Chinese Republic have just come here and they are doing this. They felt very angry, and they were all clamoring, saying that they wanted the army of the Red Sun Empire to drive away the people of the Chinese Republic.
The Red Sun Empire troops stationed nearby actually came, and they were also old acquaintances.
Kato Taka took his own team, which he had just assembled recently, and rushed to the river as soon as possible. He had known for a long time that the people from the Red Sun Empire were coming, and the battle on White Shark Beach had made so much noise.
Originally, he didn't want to interfere with the affairs of the Chinese Republic, let alone send a single soldier to help. It was the greatest mercy not to add insult to injury.
But now businessmen from the Red Sun Empire are calling one after another, saying that people from the Chinese Republic have blocked the river. He didn't want to care about it at first. After all, the river was already blocked, and it wouldn't make much difference if it was blocked again.
But he has to come even if he doesn't want to. These big businessmen are his big benefactors. If these people don't pay to support the army, his brothers will have to drink the northwest wind.
Li Weiguo noticed from a distance that Kato Takashi brought someone over, and he immediately became happy. I haven’t seen this guy for a long time. If I met him this time, I didn’t expect that he would be an enemy again.
"Who is that? Are you here to speak for them?"
Li Weiguo shouted loudly to Kato Takashi, and he was holding a big horn in his hand, as if he was afraid that no one would be able to hear him.
Kato Taka originally wanted to pretend not to hear, then turned around and left. His eyesight was already very good, and he had already seen Li Weiguo's figure.
He knew that this man was not easy to mess with. He had never done anything to him before when he was very weak. Now that the opponent is already the commander-in-chief of China, and it is said that his strength has reached the peak of transcending tribulation, he is no match for him at all.
But when Li Weiguo shouted over like this, Kato Ying went numb, because all the nearby businessmen looked over. Even if he wanted to leave now, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the river.
"Master Kato Takashi! You must make the decision for us!"
The merchants who were blocked on the river were all crying and complaining, not to mention how miserable they looked.
Kato Taka was also disturbed by these people, and he was very upset. He is now in a dilemma. If he goes further, he will definitely be repaired by Li Weiguo, but if he takes a step back, he has no way to explain to these businessmen.
"Three minutes, I'll give you three minutes to choose. After three minutes, you can't even think about passing through here."
Li Weiguo didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement. He even held a big loudspeaker and shouted loudly. He just wanted to see if this guy named Kato Takashi dared to take action at this time.
If the other party takes action, then he won't be happy, he will just snatch these hurtful things, and then pack them up and return home. Anyway, he didn't want to come to the Red Sun Empire for rescue, so he just used this excuse to go back.
"What's yours is not a thing, so don't be too arrogant. With our Chief Kato here, we can crush you to death with just a few fingers."
The businessmen were very angry, and they all pointed at Li Weiguo and cursed. It was not so easy to get them to pay. They now have the support of Kato Takashi's army, and they don't pay attention to these hundreds of engineering soldiers at all.
"Hehe, look over there." As Li Weiguo spoke, he pointed at the forward troops of the East China Sea Fleet coming from the other side of the river, as well as the Huben Legion troops that were marching quickly from the river bank.
When the merchants saw such a huge army, they all shut up in despair and did not dare to mention the matter of crushing Li Weiguo to death.
Some of the more astute businessmen immediately changed their strategies and ran to the river embankment of the Chinese Republic to discuss the payment with the engineering soldiers.
Someone took the lead, and more and more businessmen joined in to pay. They don't dare to mess around in front of the army of the Chinese Republic, so paying money to pass seems to be a good choice.
They are always unwilling to let the goods pile up in the warehouse. Not only will they have to pay a large storage fee, but there will also be a lot of losses.
Seeing how knowledgeable these people were, Li Weiguo smiled and nodded. He had finally taken the first step in his plan to make money in the Red Sun Empire.
Kato Takashi was also very happy. As long as he didn't have to deal with it, everything would be fine. He took his brothers and left this place when the merchants were not paying attention.
The engineers felt very relieved when they saw the troops of the Red Sun Empire running away in despair. In the past, the armies of the Red Sun Empire chased the armies of the Chinese Republic everywhere, but now things have finally changed.
Yang Xiong and Zhang Bai commanded the army and soon arrived outside Panshi City. Originally, their idea was very simple, which was to go to the city and find a place to station themselves so that the soldiers could make the next repair.
