Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 510 Yu Ye: Lao Li, hurry up and wait to rob the Japanese of their wealth to build the railwa

Li Yunlong held the list sent by the Japanese, but still felt it was a bit perfunctory.

"Da Biao, tell me, the Japanese are not only small, but also stingy. They changed the price of 500 million yuan to 200 million yuan, 3 small yellow croakers to 3000, and the industrial tools were discounted by % based on what I gave them.

Do you think you are taking me lightly?"

Li Yunlong felt angry when he saw the bargaining list sent by the Japanese. Is this like treating beggars badly?

Although in business you have to listen to what I say and what you pay back, but if I say one thousand and you pay back ten, isn't that a bit too uncivilized?

"Captain, this little devil is so uncivilized, and we don't have any explanation?"

Zhang Dabiao looked at the head of the group with a smile, as if he was enjoying watching the fun.

"Go, notify the artillery comrades to launch a round of bombardment on the top of Taiyuan City to warn these devils. If they still want to use these tricks to fool us, let them think twice."

Anyway, there are enough artillery shells now, so Li Yunlong doesn't care. If the Japanese are not satisfied with the price offered, he will use heavy artillery to launch another round of bombardment.

Sure enough, after a round of bombing, the Japanese became much more obedient and doubled the price quoted in the first draft.

Lao Li took a look at this round of bids and nodded: "This is starting to look good. Go ahead and give me another round."

"Ah? Captain, didn't you say that this round of offers has already taken shape? Why do we need to send in another round?"

Li Yunlong's reaction made Zhang Dabiao helpless.

"Yes, of course we have to give the Japanese another round of bombing. If we don't give them a tight grip, how can they raise the price again?"

Li Yunlong stood with his hands behind his back, looking through the window of the temporary fortifications at the shells bombarding Taiyuan City, and said lightly.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Zhang Dabiao immediately arranged for it to be carried out.

Old Li looked at the bombed-out city gate tower, feeling confused and wary: "Damn it, I'm waiting for our troops to gather. There are 20,000 or 30,000 devils in your city. What are you waiting for?"

......

Datong Yukou Coal Mine.

Yu Ye, who knew that Lao Li was bargaining with the devils, couldn't help laughing: "Lao Zhao, you said that Lao Li was like this when he was poor before, but now the independent regiment is a wealthy man, why is he still like this now?"

"Hahaha, Old Yu, you don't know this, right? If I were negotiating with the Japanese outside Taiyuan City, I would probably ask for a higher price than Old Li, and the negotiation would make the Japanese even more uncomfortable.

I just looked at their latest quotation, and I think Mr. Li is being too lenient here.”

Zhao Gang said with a smile.

Ok?

Yu Ye turned his head and looked at Lao Zhao. Is this something that Lao Zhao, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, can say? Why is Lao Zhao so obsessed with money?

"Haha, Lao Yu, don't look at me. I'm telling the truth. When asking the devils for money, how can it be too much? Besides, this is the first time in forty or fifty years that the devils have spent money to buy peace.

If it were me, wouldn't I be very proud of it? "

Zhao Gang's face was filled with an uncontrollable smile.

In the past, five or six thousand Japanese soldiers surrounded a core city with fifty or sixty thousand Chinese troops. Now, an independent regiment is threatening the city of Taiyuan occupied by the Japanese. If the comrades who died before could see this scene, they would probably be able to rest in peace.

Yu Ye burst out laughing.

He was walking around the coal yard of Yukou Coal Mine. In fact, the victory or defeat of Taiyuan City in the distance was no longer within his consideration, because taking Taiyuan City was only a matter of time. Even if he failed to take it this time, he could take it down after a month or two of rest even with a head-on confrontation.

As for the list written to Lao Li, Yu Ye just did it casually. It didn't matter whether the Japanese were willing to use this material to exchange for a moment of peace.

Anyway, after Taiyuan is recovered, these things will sooner or later be in Yu Ye's pocket.

"Speaking of which, Old Yu, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would take us a very long time to take back Taiyuan City. If it weren't for you to rebuild our military industry, I guess we would still be suppressed by the Japanese."

Looking at the piles of coal ore, Zhao Gang said with some emotion.

"No, you will win even without me."

Yu Ye did not continue to dwell on this issue.

"Old Zhao, I'm thinking about a question. Can we build a railway through Yukou Coal Mine, Datong, Taiyuan and Ping'an County?

In this way, the coal we dig out can flow quickly, which is very good whether it is used for power generation or steel and copper making.

"Before the troops move, the food and fodder must be sent first. Coal is the food of industry, so it must be sent first."

"What? Building a railway?"

Old Zhao was shocked by Yu Ye's idea. He didn't expect that in such a chaotic time, Yu Ye was no longer thinking about fighting, but started to think about construction issues.

"Yes, to build a railway."

"Old Yu, building a railway is no small matter. It requires a huge amount of money, manpower and material resources. Can we afford it?

Let’s not talk about the technology, where will the locomotive come from? Where will the funds come from? ”

"It's not a big problem, it's only two or three hundred kilometers. You can ask the Japanese for the locomotive. As for our funds, as long as Lao Li gets Shinozuka Yoshio, we can start construction.

As for the type of steel, our Changzhi Steel Plant and the future Taiyuan Steel Plant can satisfy your needs.”

Yu Ye waved his hand, and it was obvious that he already had a preliminary plan.

Zhao Gang: “…”

"No, Old Yu, you don't have any weapons in your hands, and you are just waiting for the rice from the Japanese to come in, right?"

Zhao Gang was shocked by Yu Ye's plan.

"What do you mean by waiting for the rice from the Japanese? The steel I prepared is not preparation. Besides, how can the Japanese have their own rice? Didn't they steal all this from us?

I also said that after we push the Japanese back, we should make them give us the entire island as war reparations."

Yu Ye said unhappily.

"What? You want the Japanese to give you their island as compensation, then where will they go?" Zhao Gang was confused by Yu Ye's words.

"Go wherever you want. As long as they can't stay on the land that was compensated to us, that's fine. I think this piece of land in Russian Siberia is pretty good. I think it would be a good idea to give it to them to grow potatoes."

Yu Ye had obviously already planned the Japs' retreat route.

Zhao Gang: “…”

"I get excited just thinking about this. I can only ask Lao Li to move faster because we are waiting for the money looted by the Japanese to be used to build the railway.

We have to eat our food one bite at a time. Even if we let the Japanese dig potatoes, we must first take back our Taiyuan City."

Yu Ye stretched out his body. After chatting with Lao Zhao for a long time, he felt a little tired.

"No, Old Yu, have you long wanted to take the Japanese prisoners to Siberia to dig potatoes?"

"No, that's what the Russians do. I won't do that. I just have one thought. We Chinese are warm and hospitable. Now that you're here, don't let me leave."

At this point, a hint of resolute murderous intent flashed across Yu Ye's calm eyes.

The murderous intent that burst out at this instant made Lao Zhao feel a little frightened.

As a scholar, Lao Yu is too murderous.

"What about those Japanese prisoners captured at Yukou Coal Mine?"

"Who said they were prisoners? Their management has now been handed over to the Yukou Coal Mine. This is something that local comrades should consider, not ours."

Zhao Gang: “…”

"You have learned bad things from Lao Li. It's better not to play this kind of borderline ball."

"Okay, then we won't fight. I heard Chu Yunfei's white gloves are quite clean. When will you invite him to visit our Ping'an Industrial Zone? And by the way, he can visit our Yukou Coal Mine and learn about the national hatred and family feuds."

Yu Ye laughed.

Zhao Gang keenly sensed that something was wrong: "Old Yu, what do you mean by that?"

Yu Ye waved his hand and walked towards his temporary office in Yukou Coal Mine. He had too much work on hand and could not rest for a moment.

Since I'm quite busy, it's normal that I don't have time to reply to Lao Zhao.
