I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 666: Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu Trading Co., Ltd. is established

The commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone did not give them any further explanation for the time being, but just observed them silently.

The conference room, which was very lively at the beginning, gradually became quiet.

Everyone looked at their old war zone commander, waiting for his arrangements.

The commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone looked at his subordinates with satisfaction.

Okay, you are all quite obedient.

Everyone felt relieved when they saw the smile on the old commander's lips.

Everyone's straight backs collapsed, and the situation finally eased a lot.

Looking at the war zone commander who gave him a hint with his eyes, Suo Wuxing stood up and spoke.

"My fellow military veterans and colleagues, I have been entrusted by my old superior to tell you a piece of good news.

Just three days ago, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu Trading Co., Ltd. was officially established.

The chairman of this limited company is the old commander of our Second War Zone.

The company's vice chairman is Mr. Cheng Songyuan, chairman of Gansu Province.

Upon hearing the news, the senior generals below were all beaming with joy.

The establishment of this company means that Gannan has joined forces with Shanxi.

What is the strength of the guerrilla division under Song Wenwan now?

People in other war zones may not be very clear about it, but the Jinsui Army knows it very well.

Everyone’s bases are not far away, so there’s no need to mention anything else for now.

The bullets used by the guerrilla divisions in shooting training every month are enough for them to fight a small-scale skirmish.

Also, several Gannan guerrilla divisions have recently returned to Gansu for rest and recuperation.

Although they acted carefully and hid during the day and moved at night, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was the local tyrant in Shanxi.

They still knew how many people had left the guerrilla division this time.

Each brigade of these four divisions has 170,000 people, and their Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, combined, has just this number.

Looking at the attitude of the guerrilla division, they are providing both guns and food.

They helped the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and pulled out five main divisions.

Over the years, without the guerrilla division to help them, their lives have been very difficult.

The Gansu Army has now withdrawn 170,000 troops, but they have left behind the 4th, 5th and 9th Divisions.

As well as two heavy artillery brigades, a total of more than 100,000 people, stayed in Shanxi to fight the war.

This means that with the military strength of the guerrilla division, they can drive out the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army at any time as long as they want.

But he really didn't do anything to me!

If this had happened to the person in the attendant's office of the temporary capital, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would have been wiped out long ago.

The old officer smiled and said, "I am old now, and I am powerless to do business, but..."

Suo Wuxing smiled and continued, "You may not know this, but our old boss didn't want to be the chairman in the beginning."

Suo Wuxing raised his voice and said, “But the former Minister of the Military Affairs Department, the current Chairman Cheng of Gansu Province.

He sent three secret telegrams asking the old boss to come out of retirement and take charge of the overall situation of the trading company.

The old commander then reluctantly agreed to take on this important task, and to use his usefulness to bring benefits to the people of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu!"

"Hahahaha... Thank you for your compliment, Deputy Commander Suo. I am not as upright and noble as you say.

Deputy Commander Suo is young and promising, and can be said to be the best among the younger generation!"

"Uncle...haha..."

"My dear nephew...haha..."

The other people in the war room just watched the two foxes, one old and one young, bragging about their business with each other.

I'm still wondering how the two of them became so close.

A senior advisor asked worriedly, "Old sir, this time we are a joint trading company of three provinces.

This Gan is Gansu, Shan is our Shanxi, so which one does this Shan belong to?

This time we are joining forces with the commander of the Tenth War Zone, or..."

He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.

This is asking their commander-in-chief whether he has cooperated with Red Shaanxi.

The old commander said: "This time we are not cooperating with the Tenth War Zone or Red Northern Shaanxi.

Our cooperation this time is with the Yanchang Oilfield in northern Shaanxi.

The products developed by our trading company are the fuel that is most in short supply in both the domestic military and political fields.”

Senior Counselor: "What? We are cooperating with the Yanchang Oilfield? Isn't that an industry in Red Northern Shaanxi?"

Suo Wuxing: "We in Gannan have used our private account to buy the Yanchang Oilfield from Red Northern Shaanxi."

Senior Counselor: "What? You, the people from Gannan Group, bought the Yanchang Oilfield?

Don’t you know how important the Yanchang Oilfield and the Shandong gold mine are?

Those are the two major sources of funding for Red Northern Shaanxi, how could they possibly sell them to you?"

Suo Wuxing: "Senior, do you know what the Red Border Region Government of Northern Shaanxi is busy with now?"

Senior Counselor: "I heard they are very busy now, receiving disaster victims from Henan."

Suo Wuxing: "Then what do you think Red Northern Shaanxi lacks now?"

The senior executive suddenly had an idea and started shouting excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent.

“Food, I know it must be food!

Red Northern Shaanxi is now doing its best to rescue the victims.

What they need most is a large amount of food.

Only by using food could the Red Border Government in northern Shaanxi be forced to give up the Yanchang Oil Field in exchange for food.

Deputy Commander Suo, your strategy is really brilliant!

But can the bigwigs in the capital's attendant room agree to this deal?

After all, the Yanchang Oilfield is under the watchful eyes of Commander Hu of the Tenth War Zone. "

Suo Wuxing: “This time, the big guys in the attendant room of the secondary capital have no choice but to agree to this deal.

Because we traded grain with Red Northern Shaanxi, and we put forward a condition. "

Senior Consultant: "What are the conditions?"

Suo Wuxing: "Not only do we have to take over the Yanchang Oilfield, we will also station troops there."

As soon as Suo Wuxing finished stating his conditions, there was a burst of hissing in the conference room.

Senior Counselor: "Deputy Commander Suo, we all know that the Yanchang Oilfield is located in the Communist Army's territory.

It is less than 65 kilometers away from Yan'an.

It has been seven years and the national army has no way to station troops there.

I didn’t expect you to be able to do it this time, but the people in the attendant room…”

Suo Wuxing said calmly, "Don't worry, Senior Counselor, the attendant office has approved it.

Because I deployed a newly formed 303rd Division at Yanchang Oilfield."

There was another hiss in the conference room. Now they finally understood.

Why would the bigwigs in the temporary capital's attendant room allow Gannan to buy the Yanchang Oilfield and operate it there?

The 303rd Division is an elite force that guards against the Red Army in northern Shaanxi and infiltrates Gansu.

Their predecessor was the Gansu Provincial Defense Army.

They were always on guard against the Red Army in northern Shaanxi and had many "frictions" with the Eighth Route Army.

It was a steadfast "anti-communist" force that was relatively recognized by the Temporary Capital's Secretariat.

With them in Yanchang, if the Secretariat gives an order one day to launch a surprise attack on Yan'an, they will definitely arrive the same day.

So the attendant room, having a sudden inspiration, actually agreed to the deal.

In fact, the transaction with northern Shaanxi was real, but it was not as dramatic as Suo Wuxing said.

The 303rd Division of the Provincial Defense Force did enter the Yanchang Oilfield to carry out the task of defending the oilfield.

It is true that Song Wenwan wants to operate the Yanchang Oilfield, and his armored division is about to go out.

It is not cost-effective to always exchange fuel from the system.
