Chapter 64: The Guest Arrives (First Part)

  This is naturally good news, and it's great news. There's no reason why Mao Feng wouldn't be happy, after all, this era relies on people, relies on troops, and relies on weapons! Without these, who would listen to what you have to say? Mao Feng is very clear about his own shortcomings, which are his lack of experience and depth, and these can only be made up for with a powerful army, otherwise how would Sun Wen and the others take this young man seriously?

  Maofeng naturally took out the white wine and had a drink with Bawi. After drinking a mouthful of white wine, Bawi still said with a smile: "Dear friend, this wine is really not used to drinking. Next time I'll let you taste our German wine, that's what wine should be! This wine is too spicy, too spicy!"

  Looking at Bawi's helpless frown, Mao Feng smiled and said: "This wine is just like us Chinese people, treating friends with fiery passion that leaves a lasting aftertaste!"

  Bao Wei smiled and said: "I hope the people of both countries can inherit this friendship."

  Although Mou Feng's mouth acknowledges the words of Ba Wei, he is not convinced in his heart. You Germans are also war profiteers and closely followed Britain and France in invading China. Otherwise, how would Shandong become a German territory?

  Bawi left leisurely, while Mao Feng continued to work hard. He had to make good preparations, and once the weapons and equipment arrived on shore, he had to equip the troops at the fastest speed possible and familiarize them with the new gear within a short period of time to form combat effectiveness. The new recruits also needed to intensify their training!

  Mao Feng knew that Chen Jiongming's troops were not easy to chew, and it could be foreseen that his own troops would have to go on an expedition soon, launching a campaign against Chen Jiongming's troops from the east! The direction was Huizhou! History had changed, and the test had come with it!

  After making several consecutive calls to his subordinates, Mao Feng finally let out a sigh of relief. He loosened the collar button and pulled at his neckline. He thought that if Chen Jiongming was defeated, then there would be no later Eastern Expedition of Huangpu, perhaps the Northern Expedition would be advanced, and perhaps his cheap brother-in-law would have to think about taking the stage like history, maybe another wave would rise again? There were also Soviet experts and the Communist Party, all variables.

  The more Mao Feng thought about it, the more interested he became, and in the end, he was beaming with delight, stroking his chin with a smile.

  Miss Pan V finally arrived, and Dong Hao personally welcomed the arrival of Miss Pan V. Along with the Pan family came two young ladies from the Lu and Wu families. This made Dong Hao extremely surprised, he didn't know what was going on in this world anymore! He couldn't understand it at all! How did Mao Feng become so popular?!

  What surprised Dong Hao even more was that the fifth Miss Pan was not the leader, but rather a Miss Wu from the Wu family. Dong Hao didn't recognize her and hadn't heard any news about this before. It wasn't until he got home and was introduced to her that he found out she was the direct descendant of the Wu family's master, the eldest granddaughter of the main branch!

  Wu Xiaohuo, Xiaozibei. A woman who can enter the family tree and have a name with a character generation is unimaginable! Lu Qingfang, Lu's direct second house third daughter, also has a name with a character generation, also a legitimate spoiled girl, Pan Ruoxia is the same, good guys are all legitimate daughters! Dong Hao was already shocked in succession.

  One family is a real wealthy merchant, and what about the three families? They rose to prominence relying on the Pan family. Now that they have reached today's status, what will happen to Mao Feng in the future? He already has such great power now, so with the support of these three families, it would truly be boundless!

  After a brief conversation, Dong Hao clearly knew that the mastermind this time was not Pan Ruoxia, but Wu Xiaohua! This was both expected and unexpected, I didn't think the Wu family would really make a move.

  The three women were naturally tired from their long journey, so Dong Hao immediately had his servants lead them to rest. Dong Hao also received a new task, which was to create an opportunity for Mao Feng to get acquainted with the three of them. Dong Hao pondered alone in the hall, knowing that this acquaintance would require careful planning if it were to achieve its intended goal.

  The three women met in Wu Xiaohua's room after a simple wash. Lu Qingfang was not like her name, she was straightforward and said as soon as she sat down: "Sister, I really want to leave immediately! I hate this arrangement the most! What era is this? Is there still such a thing?"

  The "sister" in Lu Qingfang's mouth is Wu Xiaohua, and Pan Ruoxia is a few months younger than Lu Qingfang. Wu Xiaohua is the eldest of the three girls, but she is only a few months older, all three are the same age, and all are eighteen years old! They are all in their flower-like youth, and also at the most emotional time.

  Her beautiful face didn't change a bit, she said lightly: "Can this be useful? Can we live that kind of life because of our own reasons? That's all about family, there are gains and losses, heaven is fair, the world has no unrequited love! Born in such a family, we should know that as long as it benefits the family, the elders will do it without hesitation!"

  Pan Ruoxia was the coldest of the three girls, and it could also be said that she was quite proud. She listened and only nodded slightly. Lu Qingfang saw Pan Ruoxia's meaning and felt powerless. She sighed and said: "What can we do? Is this going to be our lives forever? Heaven knows if that Mao something or other will ever amount to anything."

  Wu Xiaohuo furrowed her brow and said, "I've only heard that he's just 19 years old, and yet he's risen to the position of Garrison Commander through his own abilities. Now he's even the ruler of Chao Mei Township. His abilities are not in question, but I wonder what he looks like?"

  Pan Ruoxia said coldly: "Can looks be eaten as rice?"

  Wu Xiaohuo was shocked after hearing that, then she said to Pan Ruoxia: "Still, little sister saw it clearly, I really fell into the vulgar routine! If one's own man is a capable person, then it's not bad!"

  Lu Qingfang whispered: "I hope his marksmanship is better than mine, otherwise what's the point!"

  "As long as you look into each other's eyes, there won't be any problem!"

  Wu Xiaohai smiled slightly and said: "I'm curious about what kind of person this is? Hopefully, it will satisfy all of us!"

  Fang Tianxia rushed to Mao Feng's place on horseback without stopping, walked into the office and saluted, saying: "Commander, I have something to report!"

  Mao Feng raised his head and said: "Speak, what's going on?"

  "Commander, just now Dong Hao from the Dong family personally received three young women outside the city. These three women are extremely young and have a large entourage, all of them carrying equipment, they're not ordinary people!"

  Very briefly, Mao Feng listened and understood, he furrowed his brow and said: "What is Dong Hao doing? What's the origin of these three women?"

  "Fang Tianxia said: 'From her clothes and demeanor to her gait, I believe she is a young lady from a wealthy family. I can guarantee this!'"

  Maofeng nodded silently, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "I'm aware of this matter. Keep a close eye on it immediately. Nothing can be relaxed now, do you understand?"

  "Yes, I understand! I'll go and make arrangements right away!" Fang Tianxu bowed and then hurried back to deploy.

  Watching Fang Tianxia leave, Mao Fengzhi was somewhat pleased. He was pleased that Fang Tianxia was now working very seriously, which made him at least have someone to manage the intelligence work. After all, intelligence comes first in battle! Then Mao Fengzhi began to think about the relationship between these three women and Dong Hao, wondering what kind of trickery Dong Hao was up to again!

  Li Pingzhou was chatting with Ding Qiang at the dinner table, but he didn't have a good impression of him. If it weren't for Commander's sake, Li wouldn't have taken Ding seriously.

  Ding Qiang wanted to toast again, but seeing Li Pingzhou's expression at this moment, he didn't know that the Garrison Commander of Swatow didn't take himself seriously. This made him angry and helpless at the same time. This man now had people and guns at his disposal, and if he wasn't careful, he would be finished! The name of Ding Jia lao san was useless after all!

  Li Pingzhou glanced at him and said calmly, "Ding Qiang, I'll tell you this first, the tobacco business will be rectified soon, and this position will also be left for you. However, let me make one thing clear: if you can't integrate the tobacco well, then you won't be able to hold this position for long."

  Ding Qiang forced a smile and said: "I understand this, but I don't know if Commander Li has any good strategy?"

  Li Pingzhou said with a bad tone: "Do you need to ask me about this? Didn't the commander tell you? Or is someone daring not to listen to your orders? If they don't listen to your orders, that means they're disobeying the commander's command! Disobeying the commander's command means going against the commander. Do I need to say what will happen if you go against the commander?! With the commander backing you up, what are you afraid of? Do you really think you have the ability to hold this position?"

  "No, no, absolutely not. I knew it long ago. But this tobacco is not only related to the local area but also has a deep connection with Yunnan! Many tobaccos come from Yunnan, and Guizhou is no exception! Relying solely on us here won't work at all! Am I worried about not doing well?" Ding Qiang hastily explained. As an old-timer in the tobacco trade, he knew the ins and outs of it.

  Li Pingzhou snorted and said, "Don't worry about anything else, just take care of your own three-point land! Those who do not obey management, report their names to me, I will handle it! This time it's not just here, Chaozhou and Meizhou are the same, Chaozhou is in charge of Dong Hao, and Meizhou is your brother Ding Zhong! In the future, there will be a general chairman, that is Commander Tai Shan, who is also your elder brother, Mr. Ding Hua! With such an arrangement, what else can you worry about? Who doesn't know the relationship between the Ding family and my Commander's family here?! Are all the brothers holding firewood sticks?! Those who do not obey management will be killed! There's nothing more to say!"

  "That's for sure, that's for sure, I understand. Since Commander Li is supporting me, I have nothing to fear. I'll start tomorrow! I'll start right away!" Ding Qiang immediately followed up with his own attitude.

  Li Pingzhou finally cracked a smile and said, "That's right, Commander and your family are one and the same, I don't need to explain the principle of sharing honor and shame. With the commander backing you up, what are you afraid of? If it were someone else, they would have done it long ago, this is a great thing! You know, if this matter succeeds, think about how much money that much opium would bring in when sold abroad, it's all silver dollars!"
