Chapter 69: Taking Away A Security Team Of Sichuan Natives Recruited From The Sichuan Region
Sichuan Region, ancient people also called Chongqing “Mountain City”, and Chongqing is the world’s largest mountain city. On Chongqing streets, busy streets, rickshaws everywhere, and some cars, but the lives of people on the outskirts of the Sichuan Region in November 1931 were still quite backward, with many people going hungry. Near the wharf, steps where poor people carried sedan chairs and rich people sat in sedan chairs.
Although there were schools here for students to attend, it lacked the prosperity, bustle, and development of Shanghai.
So after Zhou Wenhua woke up the next day,
After he ate breakfast and met with Pan Wenhua,
He just took a car, followed the other party casually strolling around the streets of Chongqing, took a look at the shops inside the mountain city, the shoe shiners on Chongqing streets, and the situation in all trades,
Including the women washing clothes by the river at the wharf, the busy wharf workers transporting cargo, the cargo ship teams, and the fishing scenes of fishing boats,
Along the Yangtze River in Chongqing city, there have always been countless large and small wharfs or ferry crossings, docking various ships, some fishing, some transporting goods; this is the main source of livelihood for the people here.
Big merchants and tycoons, peddlers and coolies, boatmen and porters coming and going, bustling with voices and noisy markets.
So after Zhou Wenhua took a look,
He immediately asked Pan Wenhua to take him right away to see the good fields that Liu Xiang had found for him that were willing to be sold,
Of course all in the county towns outside Chongqing,
Not inside Chongqing’s mountain city.
Regarding Zhou Wenhua’s decision, Pan Wenhua also agreed without hesitation.
And he quickly took Zhou Wenhua and his security team to the destination.
Regarding the land and fields for building the plantation that Pan Wenhua showed him,
Zhou Wenhua was very satisfied,
So he had Pan Wenhua take his Sichuan Army troops back first,
He still needed to take his own security team to inspect his own companies, shops, and factories, and Factory Director Li Dafu, who had been sent early to this side of the Sichuan Region for development,
Had also hurriedly driven a car to meet Zhou Wenhua.
Besides him,
Boss Fan of the Yongli Alkali Plant also came,
Because he had also followed Zhou Wenhua’s investment suggestion and built one of the newly constructed Yongli Alkali Plants in this large rear area of the Sichuan Region, so he came here to personally supervise the construction.
Of course, he would not stay here long-term either; he was just here to supervise for a while, then return to the Tianjin side.
Regarding the arrival of these two people,
Zhou Wenhua just politely chatted with them for a while,
Then first sent off Boss Fan of the Yongli Alkali Plant, telling him to go back and continue supervising the construction of the Yongli Alkali Plant in the Sichuan Region,
While Factory Director Li Dafu was instructed by Zhou Wenhua to take him immediately to see the training and combat power of the security team that he had asked him to form in the Sichuan Region.
However, after Zhou Wenhua saw it, he was still a bit disappointed,
Although the people from the Sichuan Region recruited by Factory Director Li Dafu had fairly sturdy builds,
They still had a big gap compared to the strong men he had in mind; this was perhaps due to nutrition supplement issues.
Moreover, their military training was not as strict and formal as the military training he had in Shanghai with the naval officers,
It was still fine for dealing with ordinary people,
But if facing elite regular troops or Japanese invaders’ troops, it would be suicide.
Because these security teams recruited from the Sichuan Region did not even have many firearms, and their marksmanship was not very accurate either,
They looked just like a group of new recruits,
Seeing this,
Zhou Wenhua planned to completely rectify and train these security teams recruited from the Sichuan Region,
He even thought of transferring them to Shanghai to gain insight into the prosperous and bustling metropolis there, and deploying them in the upcoming Battle of Shanghai.
So once this fleeting idea appeared, he prepared to implement it immediately.
It must be known that in the second Battle of Shanghai, the Sichuan Army troops were a famous unit that fought to the death resisting Japanese invaders.
So Zhou Wenhua felt he still needed to personally cultivate such an iron-blooded troop to make some contributions to the future anti-Japanese war,
So he quickly selected a squad of elite security from his own security team to serve as the backbone military training personnel for these Sichuan Region security teams, the squad leaders for each security team, and also selected a new captain for rectification and training.
Zhou Wenhua planned to select a batch to follow him back to Shanghai, while the others would stay to serve as his plantation guards and protection teams for all industry chains deployed in the Sichuan Region,
So he took the cultivation of these Sichuan Region security teams seriously,
He did not want the security teams deployed here to be incapable of even protecting his industries in the Sichuan Region.
Thus, after rectifying these Sichuan Region security teams,
Zhou Wenhua also personally went to bid farewell to Liu Xiang,
Preparing to go to the next stop to meet Division Commander Feng Tiankui and Yang Sen.
And he also took away a batch of Sichuan people security team recruited from the Sichuan Region.
And at this time,
On the Shanghai side,
The barracks of the 19th Route Army and many of their officers also began to be approached and investigated by Japanese intelligence officers,
A scene of an impending war was brewing.
It could erupt greatly like a volcano at any time.
