The annual sales volume of tobacco and soil in Shanglu reaches hundreds of millions of silver dollars. It can be said that the reason why the Sassoon family can become the richest man in Shanglu is because the other party monopolizes nearly 70% of the tobacco and soil business in Shanglu.
Behind the Sassoon family is the Great Eagle Empire. If he takes action to ban smoking, it will definitely arouse the anger of the Great Eagle Empire. After all, the profits brought by tobacco to the Eagle Kingdom are more than ten million every year, enough to feed an army.
So if he wanted to ban smoking, he had to appeal to the court, and he had to work hard to implement it.
Moreover, they must wait until the training of the three infantry divisions in hand is completed, so that they can fight against the Eagle Country's garrison at any time without losing, so that they can have the confidence to complete the anti-smoking campaign.
As long as the anti-smoking campaign is launched, he will definitely gain the support of the people. If he gets the support of the people, he will gain reputation points. With the reputation points, his strength will become stronger.
...
The hot summer passed quickly with the sound of soldiers training. Three months of recruit training turned these farmers with hoes into soldiers with weapons in their hands.
Three months of recruit training is completely different for three infantry divisions and two reserve divisions.
It can be clearly seen from the physical aspect that he is much stronger than before. Every body is strong and the muscles on his body are as strong as stones.
This is due to Su Yu's daily feeding of fish and meat. To be honest, if these soldiers are now placed in other units, they may not be able to get used to it, because that unit cannot have meat or white rice every day. Eat.
Moreover, the monthly military pay is 6 yuan, which is still for ordinary soldiers. If you are a non-commissioned officer, it will have to be increased.
Su Yu almost followed the highest standards of the Daxia Kingdom. He just wanted to use various factors, such as money, treatment, and ideological education, to lock the soldiers' loyalty to him and let everyone know who gave them food. .
After these three months of special training and ideological education, it can be said that this army completely belongs to him and can be absolutely loyal to him. Even if he wants to rebel, these soldiers will never frown.
In the military conference room, all cadres at the regiment level and above came.
Su Yu added two positions, political commissar and staff officer, to the regiment-level establishment. One person is in charge of life and ideology, and the other is in charge of military affairs. They are responsible for assisting the regiment leader in leading the troops.
There were forty or fifty officers sitting in the conference room. This was the first time such a large-scale military meeting had been held since the recruit training ended. Everyone was waiting patiently for the arrival of the commander.
"The commander has arrived."
Zhang Hu shouted loudly.
Then, everyone in the conference room stood up and greeted Su Yu's arrival with their eyes. When Su Yu came to the main seat, everyone quickly saluted and said hello to Su Yu.
"Everyone sit down."
Su Yu waved his hand and said, "I'm calling everyone here this time because next, our Shanglu Police Headquarters will carry out a ban on smoking in Shanglu."
“Anti-smoking event!”
Many officers below took a breath. These four words are no joke. To achieve it, it requires great courage, because the ban on smoking means fighting against these wealthy gangs and the great powers such as the Eagle Country. enemy.
"so."
Su Yu continued, "Friction is definitely inevitable and may even lead to war, so each regiment must be on high alert. Once there is an emergency, reinforcements must be carried out as quickly as possible, as well as those around our security headquarters. Additional manpower must be deployed to guard the security checkpoints, and no armed forces can be allowed to enter the areas under our military jurisdiction."
"clear."
The officers responded, and Su Yu also divided the security areas of each regiment.
After finishing speaking, Su Yu asked the three division commanders and Wang Wen to stay, because if they want to ban smoking, they must have a proper start.
This beginning needs to be created by themselves.
Several people began to discuss the plan in the conference room. They were frothing and excited. Even Wang Wen, who had always been gentle and gentle, joined in. His eyes were red and he became more and more excited as he talked.
A perfect plan was born from spit.
In the early morning of the next day, everything was as usual, training was being done and sentries were being patrolled as usual. However, a fight occurred in a local opium shop on North Street, which attracted many people to watch.
"I am a soldier from the Security Command, please release my sister quickly!"
A dark-skinned soldier said angrily to several unshaven thugs, "You robbed a decent woman in broad daylight, and you still don't take our security headquarters seriously!"
In response to the soldiers' roars, several thugs said with fierce expressions, "The security headquarters is nothing. In the territory of our Tiger Gang, if it's a dragon, you have to coil up, and if it's a tiger, you have to lie down. You can't even think of leading this bitch today." Go back, she owes our Tiger Gang 1,200 yuan, and if you, as her brother, can't pay it back, then you have to use this bitch to pay off the debt!"
"You fart!"
Hei Wa pointed at the thugs and cursed, "How could my sister take a loan from you to buy cigarettes? It must be your plan to frame her."
"court death!"
One of the thugs took out a pistol and pointed it at Hei Wa and cursed, "Seeing as you are a soldier from the garrison headquarters, I will let you go today and get out of here. Otherwise, I will keep my life here today!"
"you dare!"
Hei Wa took two steps forward and shouted, "If you dare to shoot, our security headquarters will crush your tiger gang."
Seeing this scene, the people watching from a distance admired the toughness of the soldiers from the garrison headquarters.
These gang members bully their own people every day, not only seize private property, but also trick others into smoking, causing many families to be broken up. They are really a bunch of beasts worse than beasts.
"boom!"
A gunshot scared the people who were watching from a distance and disappeared. At this time, life was at stake.
Heiwa didn't even blink when he heard the gunshot, feeling the bullets passing by him, but he knew that the other party did not dare to shoot him because he was a soldier of the Security Command.
"Who's shooting!"
"Dudududu!"
Then, the soldiers on patrol heard the sound of gunfire and quickly gathered towards Heiwa. In less than three to five minutes, nearly a company of troops surrounded the Tiger Gang guild hall. There was even a heavy machine gun set up at the door. Several thugs swallowed.
"Who's in charge here?"
Zhang Hu walked out from the crowd and shouted, "You dare to point your guns at the soldiers of our security headquarters, you Tiger Gang are looking for death!"
"Brother Tiger."
Hei Wa quickly came to Zhang Hu and said, "This Tiger Gang raped civilian girls in broad daylight. Their behavior was very bad. Not only that, they also violated the imperial court's smoking ban and sold cigarettes privately."
"What!"
Zhang Hu's eyes widened in surprise, and his expression was very exaggerated. If Su Yu were here, he would definitely say that he overacted and had too many traces of acting.
"Soldiers from the company," Zhang Hu shouted loudly, "Search the Tiger Gang guild hall for me. Anyone who resists will be killed by me. Let me see who is not afraid of death!"
