Before Ye Anran came, he sent a special agent company to investigate Gao Qiqiang and the Jingang Group behind him.
As Gao Qiqiang said, he was once just a fish vendor, and later met Chen Tai, the boss of Jingang Group.
Chen Tai, a Japanese-Chinese, used his connections with the Kwantung Army to contract the iron ore and coal mines in Hecheng, and finally turned a blacksmith shop into a steel giant in the Black Province.
Later, Gao Qiqiang met Chen Tai by chance. He recognized Chen Tai as his adoptive father in front of the celebrities of Hecheng merchants and the military and political leaders of the Neon Kingdom.
This gave him the opportunity to study at the German Krupp factory.
Soon after Gao Qiqiang returned to Hecheng, Chen Tai became cold.
As for how he got cold, probably only Gao Qiqiang knows.
Facing Ye Anran, Gao Qiqiang put his hands on his knees and said nervously:
"Vice Chairman Ye, my adoptive father was a native of Neon during his lifetime, and he had some connections with the commander of the Kwantung Army."
"When Crane City fell, it was not destroyed by the Japanese."
"For the asset restructuring plan proposed by you and Chairman Ma, I, Gao Qiqiang, will absolutely take the lead and support it without any second thoughts."
Gao Qiqiang was very smart. He knew that Ma Jinshan's troops would not be able to leave for a while.
At present, voting loyalty to Ye Anran is the only choice.
Ye Anran smiled faintly. He had no feeling at all about Gao Qiqiang's flattery.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what kind of fairy tales are they playing? !
"Gao Qiqiang, as a steel giant in Black Province, I think you should be able to shoulder the company's responsibilities to the country."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't afford it. In the worst case, I'll let someone else replace you!"
"You are on the territory of Daxia, making money from the people's hard-earned money, and after making money, you help the Japanese to buy guns and make cannons. Don't think that I don't know."
"Now that the Northeastern Army has taken over Hecheng, it needs your factory to use its waste heat to assist the arsenal in completing its production tasks. Chairman Ma has decided to let bygones be bygones for your past mistakes!"
Gao Qiqiang is a businessman. He knows the importance of steel plants to a country and an army.
If Ye Anran wanted to replace him, he would be able to do so in the blink of an eye.
Without him, it would be as simple as changing a legal person.
Hecheng Fine Steel will not go bankrupt, and will still assist the arsenal in completing various production tasks under Ye Anran's operation.
Gao Qiqiang saw a glimmer of hope in Ye Anran's words.
He stood up quickly, clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it above his head, "Vice Chairman Ye, thank you and Chairman Ma for giving me, Gao Qiqiang, a chance to not be a slave to the country's subjugation."
"I am willing to do my best to assist you and Chairman Ma in ensuring the various production tasks of the arsenal."
To show his determination, Gao Qiqiang wrote a letter of guarantee, signed it and fingerprinted it.
He presented his hands in front of Ye Anran.
Ye Anran glanced at it, handed the guarantee letter to Ma Jinhai, and told him to keep it well.
When Gao Qiqiang saw Ye Anran accepted the guarantee letter, he finally let go of the worry hanging in his throat.
In fact, he didn't lose anything, he just temporarily changed his protective umbrella.
When the Japanese entered Crane City, he was protected by the Japanese and assisted the Japanese quartermaster's request to provide steel to the arsenal.
Although the sky has changed in Hecheng now.
Gao Qiqiang still has to provide abundant materials to the arsenal, and it seems that he has not received any benefits, but in the future he can behave upright and walk with a straight back in front of the people of Hecheng.
I will never bear the reputation of a traitor again.
Ye Anran got up and left.
The three of them went downstairs, and Gao Qiqiang walked all the way downstairs. He looked kind and cheerful, as if he had received a great favor.
"Vice Chairman Ye, our Hecheng Fine Steel will be the Northeast Army's enterprise from now on."
"As long as you give me any orders, I, Gao Qiqiang, will die without mercy."
Ye Anran jumped on the military horse, watched Gao Qiqiang clasping his fists to express his stance, and nodded to him with satisfaction.
"You prepare a big warehouse for me. I want to store some things."
"I'll get ready right away."
"Li Yukui!"
"arrive."
"You leave a company behind. After he prepares the warehouse, he will send troops to garrison it. No one is allowed to come near without my permission!"
"yes!"
Li Yukui agreed, and he immediately turned his troops around and gave the order to the commander of the first company of the cavalry battalion to garrison the warehouse.
It was almost dusk when Ye Anran and Ma Jinhai returned to the provincial capital.
The soldiers were exhausted after digging communication trenches for a day. Some even refused to return to the military camp, so they fell asleep in the communication trenches.
In order to allow the soldiers and villagers to conserve their physical strength and reduce mobility, the logistics support troops used military vehicles to patrol the Hecheng transportation trenches and provide meals for everyone.
The traffic trenches run through all the major units in Hecheng and continue to the rear to the three-room area.
The total number of people involved in digging the traffic trenches reached more than 7,000.
In addition to the soldiers, there were also ordinary people who responded to the call and came to help the army dig trenches.
Some people were stooped and looked to be sixty or seventy years old. They were shirtless and digging soil from the traffic ditch one shovel after another, working very hard.
After dinner, Ye Anran took seven commanders selected from Sun Maotian's infantry battalion and the commander of the artillery battalion to find a wilderness. Everyone formed a circle and sat on the ground.
Everyone got to know each other, including He Tian, commander of the first company of the infantry battalion, Chu Yang, commander of the second company, Xu Yingchun and Sun Dalei, commanders of the first company of the artillery battalion, and platoon-level cadres.
Ye Anran started from the classic sixteen-character strategic approach to the late Eighth Route Army's three-by-three tactical formation.
At the same time, he explained to the commanders the importance of communications, artillery fire, and cooperation between the left and right wings of each unit during an attack.
From gaining insight into the enemy's threats, equipment, and capabilities, to targeting the enemy's weaknesses, striking decisively, and finding countermeasures to hit the enemy's weak spot.
For three consecutive days, Ye Anran coordinated military production and field medical care during the day, and used everyone's rest time to explain scientific combat military theory at night.
Actual combat is the only criterion for testing military theory, and military theory courses are taught by the older generation of revolutionary soldiers. The experience they have summarized is extremely valuable to commanders at all levels.
They have actual combat experience, have won battles, and suffered heavy losses.
Everyone was very serious when listening to Ye Anran's lecture.
I can even chase Ye Anran until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night every day.
Ye Anran never tired of it and told everyone what he learned in two years of further study at the National Defense University and the combat experience he summarized in the Shadow Special Forces.
He used his spare time to write simplified military theories and practical experience into a tactical manual, which he distributed to everyone to copy and recite.
Xie Ke heard that Ye Anran was teaching a small class for the shadow group, so he followed him all night long.
He couldn't sleep all night.
At five o'clock in the morning, Ye Anran had just fallen asleep.
I heard Xie Ke knocking on the wall, "Captain Ye, are you asleep?"
Ye Anran's ears are extremely sensitive, and the slightest movement can wake him up.
Lying on the bed, he responded: "Thank you, Chief of Staff, what's wrong with you?"
"I can not sleep!"
"Why?"
Ye Anran touched his forehead, brother, if you can't sleep, go dig a traffic trench, why are you calling him?
"Your tactical theories are simply too advanced. I don't believe you haven't attended a military academy!"
Ye Anran was too tired and replied in confusion, "I studied at the National Defense University for two years."
"Where is the National Defense University?"
Xie Ke was very curious. He had heard about Huangpu Military Academy, Baoding Military Academy, Yunnan Provincial Lecture Hall and Northeast Army Lecture Hall.
The only thing I have never heard of is the National Defense University.
When Xie Ke wanted to ask again, snoring came from the next door. He took a long breath and then fell asleep.
At 6 o'clock, Ye Anran had only slept for less than an hour when the phone in his bedroom rang.
Picking up the phone, I heard Sun Maotian's voice, "Report to the regimental commander, the forward scout reported that fifteen kilometers away from Hecheng, a large-scale infantry of the Taosuo Security Army was found moving towards us."
Ye Anran was shocked. He could almost conclude that this was a chain reaction caused by the closure of Hecheng.
The Utsunomiya Division took the lead in sending the Taosuo Security Army to move from Taonan to Hecheng, intending to frighten the Hecheng defenders.
First, they threatened Ma Jinshan and his attendance at the founding ceremony of New Beijing on April 15.
Second, let’s explore the reality of the closed city.
Ye Anran ordered the entire regiment to stop digging communication trenches, and the troops immediately entered combat readiness. He immediately went to find Ma Jinshan.
