I'm not worried. We can organize transport teams, security teams, logistics teams, and even a land reclamation group. In terms of numbers, we can have eight groups of three thousand each, totaling twenty-four thousand. The logistics force can consist of twelve thousand, bringing the total to thirty thousand. The organization is flexible; you can create your own identity information. We can also conduct continuous training at our base and go out for training exercises. Those who come may not be the ones who left. Do you understand?
I understand. Please rest assured, Li Changguan; I will definitely complete the mission.
By the way, can you still get in touch with them?
As he spoke, he gestured on the table again with the two characters for "Central." I have a large stockpile of Wu Lan ammunition—about ten thousand rifles, which are outdated Wu Lan from the German Army's active service—all made in Germany. There are also some German heavy machine guns and accompanying ammunition, totaling around ten thousand rounds. With the One ammunition production line and reloading line, as well as Primer and Firing Powder, once the Security Team is established, you can use my signed orders to move freely within Manchuria under the guise of training exercises. There will be absolutely no one to obstruct you, and we can send supplies from Inner Mongolia. Can this be done?
In the future, there will be a regiment leaving Manchuria each month under the pretense of training. Externally, I will say it is a smuggling convoy, protected by a regiment's strength. I believe there won't be any issues with the cargo being transported, right?
Upon hearing this, Song Shilun was stunned. When did our comrades in Northeast become so bold?
Li Changguan, are you serious?
Yes, this batch of Wu Lan has already been secretly transported from Germany to Lushun and is currently en route to Harbin. Whether it's true or not will be clear soon enough. Your current task is to recruit people and bring those on the mountain down! Can you manage that?
Yes, Li Changguan! I guarantee I will complete the mission!
Since the second half began, life for the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army has improved significantly. The Kwantung Army was purged by Oni Gendarmerie; frequent crackdowns have completely vanished. In fact, after that, the Kwantung Army changed its approach and began focusing on eliminating bandits instead.
Moreover, after cracking down on bandits, the spoils were not kept by the Kwantung Army but were instead distributed to villages surrounding bandit hideouts.
As a result, many bandits in Northeast have perished while the Anti-Japanese United Army has suffered no losses.
This was undoubtedly a result of Kujou's directives to Takaishi and One as well as Mutou Nobuyoshi.
Kujou's reasoning at that time was that if we only focused on security-related strikes without touching those dissenters, we could avoid mutual interference. Furthermore, the Kwantung Army needed a reason to remain in Northeast—do you understand what it means to nurture bandits to maintain stability? Is it interesting to fight and kill all day? Maintaining order in cities and ensuring essential supplies for the empire is what truly matters!
Currently, all Japanese military officials in Manchuria are Kujou's lackeys or vassals from noble families. Therefore, his orders are more effective than even those from the Emperor in certain respects. Even if there are imperial orders, subordinate military officials will first consult him before executing them rather than blindly following commands.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Northeast is Kujou's small kingdom!
Additionally, Northeast has established several Flight Schools under the guise of training pilots for the Japanese Army; in reality, some pilots aren't even Japanese.
Now in Northeast's various industries, there exists a situation where Japanese, nationalists, and communists are unknowingly mixed together.
Since Kujou began integrating Northeast's industry, he has already set forth orders favoring workers: their treatment should be on par with that in Japan itself—at least one day off per week and no more than eight hours of work per day.
Any enterprise that does not comply with this order or exploits workers—if it is a Chinese-funded enterprise—will have its money confiscated and be expelled from Northeast. If it is a Japanese enterprise... well, they will also lose their money and find themselves dead on their way back to Japan.
In terms of government systems involving collaboration with those who oppress Jewish National Bank interests or cooperate with Japanese plunderers: once verified, they will be executed alongside their Japanese collaborators.
Japanese merchants who engage in plunder will have all their property confiscated and face execution!
Those who hoard goods and inflate prices, they all deserve the same fate—execution! According to Kujou, anyone who delays my profits, disrupts the market, or oppresses honest citizens has no right to live!
In the Northeast, after just a short period of time, peace has already begun to settle in. The gangs have been eradicated, the bandits eliminated, and trade among merchants can now occur fairly. Workers are receiving better treatment, and public safety issues have nearly vanished, as even thieves have been thrown into factories—essentially prisons disguised as workplaces!
