Chapter 247: You Think They’re Pigs To Slaughter Over There?!
“Fortunately, they didn’t kill them, just knocked them out.”
Wang Xunbu said angrily, “Without the flashbang’s help, not only did their target escape, but they also killed several of their men while running away. This can be considered their retribution for not being honest.”
“That’s really a bit of a pity.” Li Muzhi thought to himself. Wang Xunbu said that the target the Military Statistics Bureau wanted to capture was on the Traitor Elimination Squad’s list.
Such a target must be of great value.
It was too bad that the person escaped.
“Exactly, what a great opportunity, and they ruined it.” Wang Xunbu cursed unhappily, “After I reported this to headquarters, headquarters’ attitude was to ignore them for the time being.”
“We can’t ignore them forever. They must have equipment and military industrial raw materials.” Li Muzhi looked at Wang Xunbu, “Did headquarters say how long to ignore them?”
“I didn’t ask about that, at least two or three months.” Wang Xunbu replied.
“That’s still a bit too long.” Li Muzhi said, “If they have the equipment and raw materials I need here, delaying two or three months would mess things up.”
“Factory Director Li, the Military Statistics Bureau’s hands are not clean.” Wang Xunbu looked at Li Muzhi, “If they aren’t honest again…”
Li Muzhi interrupted Wang Xunbu: “The important target escaped, and they lost several men. They’ve tasted the consequences. At the same time, they’ve seen the power of my anti-detection technology. I think they’ll be honest next.”
Although the Military Statistics Bureau’s methods are dark, one cannot deny their ability to deal with Japanese Invaders and Traitors.
For targets on Wang Xunbu’s Traitor Elimination Squad list, the Military Statistics Bureau can find them. Such a powerful violent organization, if given some assistance, would definitely have greater deterrence against Japanese Invaders and Traitors.
Immediately after, Li Muzhi said: “Of course, since they weren’t honest, we can’t just let it go. Communicate with them again, and raise the flashbang price to fifty silver dollars.”
“Fifty silver dollars???” Wang Xunbu’s eyes widened upon hearing this.
Factory Director Li, you’re too ruthless.
The cost is less than one silver dollar, and you want to sell it for fifty at once!
Even though arms trade is highly profitable, this is too exaggerated.
You’re treating them like pigs to slaughter!
Of course, Wang Xunbu soon thought this was reasonable.
Since they played tricks, they definitely have to pay the price.
Otherwise, no more cooperation in the future.
Without flashbangs, the Military Statistics Bureau wouldn’t know how many elite agents they’d lose.
In today’s war, the Military Statistics Bureau’s achievements are brilliant, but their losses are also very heavy.
The most elite veterans are basically all dead.
The new recruits, due to insufficient time and funds, can’t keep up with training, and personnel quality is uneven.
In this context, they need flashbang assistance even more.
It can even be said that they can’t do without flashbangs.
“Is fifty silver dollars high?” Li Muzhi shook his head and said, “Maybe Boss Dai’s quote to the Bald One is even higher.”
The Military Statistics Bureau and the Bald One’s direct line officers are all corrupt and greedy.
As the head of the Military Statistics Bureau, how did Boss Dai get all that property and mansions.
Isn’t it by abusing power to plunder, and falsifying accounts with the Bald One.
“That’s true.” Wang Xunbu nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll report your meaning to headquarters and see what they say.”
Wang Xunbu also knew that Li Muzhi’s desire for various equipment was very strong.
Even headquarters leaders said that as long as it was something beneficial to military industry production from Li Muzhi’s side, when necessary, Li Muzhi had the right to act first and report later.
Of course, Li Muzhi still respected headquarters leaders and communicated in advance when needed.
“Take two more modified flashbangs over there. If headquarters leaders agree, give the Military Statistics Bureau a final warning. If they play tricks again, we’ll provide flashbangs to the Central Statistics Bureau and stop cooperating with them.” Li Muzhi had two more modified flashbangs brought over and said to Wang Xunbu.
The Central Statistics Bureau was another violent organization fostered by the Bald One to worry about the Military Statistics Bureau becoming too dominant.
During the War of Resistance, the Central Statistics Bureau also collected intelligence against Japan and took actions, but their performance was overshadowed by the Military Statistics Bureau.
The two compete openly and covertly.
If they learned that flashbangs would be provided to the Central Statistics Bureau instead of the Military Statistics Bureau, the Military Statistics Bureau would definitely panic.
This way, they won’t worry about lack of cooperation.
“Yes, I like this plan.” Wang Xunbu nodded vigorously.
The Central Statistics Bureau and Military Statistics Bureau have big conflicts. As long as we bring up the Central Statistics Bureau, the Military Statistics Bureau won’t dare play tricks easily.
The Hell Cannon Rocket Launcher, corresponding ammunition, and flashbangs were quickly brought out.
Wang Xunbu wasn’t polite. With a wave of his hand, his team members happily received them.
“Factory Director Li, we’re leaving now and won’t disturb you.” Wang Xunbu said goodbye.
“Captain Wang, take care. I won’t see you off.”
“No need to see us off.” Wang Xunbu happily took the equipment and left.
As soon as Wang Xunbu left, after Li Muzhi took a few steps, he saw Kong Jie hurrying back.
Seeing Li Muzhi right there, Kong Jie laughed loudly: “Factory Director Li, your bullets are really effective, extremely accurate. My soldiers hiding to snipe Japanese Invaders and Traitors—many new recruits can hit targets accurately, haha.”
Due to the counter-raid, ammunition from the Border Region Arsenal was distributed to troops as much as possible.
Kong Jie’s New Second Regiment was expanded. Kong Jie took the opportunity of the counter-raid to train troops and help relieve pressure on frontline troops.
So, Kong Jie’s side also received new bullets from the Border Region Arsenal.
“Good that the bullets work well.” Li Muzhi nodded, looking at Kong Jie, “Regiment Commander Kong, how is the warfare on the front lines?”
Although Li Muzhi was engaged in military industry production in the rear, he was very concerned about the warfare on the front lines.
“The pressure is huge.” Kong Jie said seriously, “These Japanese Invaders are like they’ve taken stimulants, more ruthless than ever, as if we’ve stolen their newlywed wives.”
Immediately after, Kong Jie said: “But even if they come fiercely, as long as your weapons and ammunition keep coming, holding them for half a month is no problem. By then, if your new type rockets are produced, Liu Weidong intercepts the Japanese Sweeping Army’s logistics, and Li Yunlong reaches Taiyuan, the situation will open up. So, Factory Director Li, don’t worry about fighting wars. Leave it to us combat troops. You just focus on making weapons and ammunition.”
“Regiment Commander Kong, as you take your troops to fight, does your battlefield need any reinforcements?” Li Muzhi asked.
Holding for half a month would give Li Muzhi enough time.
He just didn’t know if the battlefield would change.
The current sandstorm weather continued, so Japanese aircraft couldn’t fly.
But once the sandstorm stopped, Japanese aircraft would come out, and combat troops’ pressure would increase.
“Of course bullets.” Kong Jie said directly, “And jumping mines. They’re very effective, specially blowing up Japanese vanguards. The Japanese vanguards don’t dare step forward easily now, haha.”
“Don’t you want more rocket launchers?” Li Muzhi asked.
“Rocket launchers expose position with tail flames when firing. Anyway, Japanese mechanized troops can’t enter; it’s all infantry. We snipe, bullets are accurate and concealed, so we don’t need rocket launchers as much. Of course, mainly my cavalry aren’t trained yet. Otherwise, cavalry with rocket launchers would crush Japanese Invaders.” Kong Jie explained, then said, “Haha, of course, if Factory Director Li you give me a few more rocket launchers, that’s fine too.”
“Forget it, save rocket launchers for troops that need them.” Li Muzhi shook his head and said, “I’ll give you two thousand more bullets, thirty jumping mines, and ten cases of grenades.”
Troops occasionally needed rocket launchers, so Li Muzhi kept rocket launchers in the warehouse for other troops that needed them in emergencies.
Like Wang Xunbu’s Traitor Elimination Squad or other cavalry units.
“Haha, good, good.” Kong Jie laughed and said, “Your grenades are really powerful. I forgot to praise and ask for them, haha.”
Li Muzhi had the arms brought out for Kong Jie and added: “Don’t forget to settle the account with Minister Zhang later.”
“Of course, of course.” Kong Jie nodded repeatedly, quickly distributed the arms, and had another battalion go out immediately to harass and delay Japanese Invaders while training troops on the front lines.
“Factory Director Li, you go ahead with your work. I’ll check the sentry posts.” Kong Jie said to Li Muzhi as he walked away.
The security work at the Border Region Arsenal was the Guard Captain’s responsibility.
The Guard Captain had done a great job with the Border Region Arsenal’s defense, but Kong Jie didn’t relax vigilance.
Especially after the loss in Yang Village, Kong Jie knew the Japanese Invaders had a special unit that came and went like ghosts.
They might sneak into the Border Region Arsenal anytime.
This group of Japanese Invaders had strong combat power. With just the Guard Captain’s troops, facing them would be huge pressure, and the Guard Captain probably couldn’t win.
So, Kong Jie selected many elites from the New Second Regiment to guard the Border Region Arsenal with the Guard Captain.
He personally checked the sentry posts every day without slacking.
Once anything suspicious was found, Kong Jie would immediately summon the whole regiment’s forces.
The current New Second Regiment was far superior to the old Independent Regiment.
Kong Jie was confident that if they encountered this special Japanese unit again, it would be their nightmare.
“Got it, Regiment Commander Kong.” Li Muzhi nodded, and Kong Jie left.
Then Li Muzhi began carefully inspecting the workshops.
With the large-scale sweep started, workers were working hard, expressions serious.
Many were so focused they didn’t notice Li Muzhi inspecting.
Li Muzhi didn’t disturb them. After inspecting all workshops and confirming no issues, he went back to sleep and rest.
