Chapter 175 The War of the Industrial Nations (15)

Japanese Ranin Watanabe Toru hesitated for a moment and finally walked out of Japan's concession in Shenyang. Within the Japanese concession, Japan has extraterritorial rights, and it is legal to sell morphine and opium in Japanese pharmacies in the Japanese concession.

However, the Northeast authorities have set up anti-drug laws that make Japanese Shiro Watanabe feel can be called brutal. Especially in the past two months, all Chinese living in the Japanese concession will be regarded as potential drug users. Once they leave the Japanese concession, they will be directly arrested and went to the anti-drug labor camp for one month to screen.

Under such tyranny, the Chinese in the Japanese Concession almost ran away. After all, the concession is not big, and if you cannot do business with outsiders, you will not be able to maintain your own operations.

What annoyed Watanabe Shira was that the Japanese government had surrendered. In order to allow the Chinese to return to the concession, Kanto Prefecture, which manages the Japanese concession, issued an order prohibiting Japanese pharmacies from selling morphine to the Chinese in order to obtain the understanding of the Northeast China government.

The Japanese Shiro Watanabe never expected that Kanto would be so stolen. At this time, shouldn’t the Japanese government send troops immediately to completely eliminate the Northeast China government and create a fertile land for Japan to sell morphine at will in China?

With his teeth hatred towards these "non-nationals", Watanabe Tetsu headed into Shenyang City with a small bottle of morphine in his arms.

The buyer is a newly appeared poisonous head here, with a surname of Ma. The man is white and clean and looks quite gentle. The two of them picked up at a very ordinary inn. As soon as the goods were delivered, they heard footsteps outside.

Watanabe Shiraki immediately became alert, pricked up his ears and listened for a moment, and he immediately walked towards the back door. However, he did not expect that the poisonous head of Ma would actually run faster, and rushed to the back door faster than Watanabe Shiraki, opened the door and ran out.

At this time, Toru Watanabe could not control so much. The extraterritorial law is limited to the Japanese concession, and if the law is violated outside the concession, the Chinese authorities will still be arrested. The police in the Northeast anti-drug killing the drug dealers who resisted were never ruthless and did not care whether the other party was Japanese.

So Shirabayashi rushed on the streets of Shenyang. He tried his best to turn left and right, desperately trying to get rid of the police behind him. Turning around a street intersection, a figure in black appeared in front of him. As soon as he saw this uniform, Shirabayashi was frightened. The person in front was from the Northeast Security Bureau.

However, at this time, Shiro Watanabe could only run steeply and towards the person who was bypassing the security bureau. However, the man had already taken action. He rushed up, hugged Shiro Watanabe from behind, and knocked him to the ground. The two of them were entangled on the ground for a moment, and the police chased after him, pressed Shiro Watanabe and put them in handcuffs.

The man in the leader said panting: "Thank you, comrade."

The person from the Security Bureau nodded, asked clearly who was arrested, and left.

The staff of the Security Bureau are Wang Donglu. Although he had some troubles, Wang Donglu was still in a good mood. Today, his parents came to Shenyang. Wang Donglu put on a uniform that he had only worn twice and went to the station to pick up people. He caught a drug dealer on the way, which made Wang Donglu feel better.

However, not long after walking out, Wang Donglu found that his uniform was dirty. Thinking of his parents' request for neat clothes, Wang Donglu could only find a faucet first, pat off the soil on his clothes, and then dip it in water to wipe off the soil that could not be cleaned, so he continued to rush to the train station.

The train was late, so Wang Donglu continued to wait. Although it was a bit boring, when his parents arrived, the wet parts of the clothes were basically drying based on their body temperature.

After not seeing each other for two months, Wang Donglu was extremely happy when he met his parents and couldn't help but salute him.

The father's expression was no different from usual, while the mother showed regret and sighed: "How could you join the army?"

Wang Donglu did not explain, but said happily: "Dad, mom, where can I live."

"You have two houses?" my mother asked in surprise.

"Well, one is a study room, let Uncle Lu live there." Wang Donglu replied.

The mother shook her head and sighed, "No need, we stay in a hotel."

When he arrived at the hotel, the servant Uncle Lu was busy and the family of three started chatting in the room. Although he had written about his two-month experience in the letter, Wang Donglu still told his parents in person.

After a month of military training, Wang Donglu thought he would start working in the Security Bureau. Unexpectedly, he was assigned to Zheng Silang in Siping to start working. The work content was to participate in factory production as a military representative. Wang Donglu didn't know how long it would take to work.

After hearing this brief introduction, Wang Donglu's mother sighed. Even Wang Donglu's father asked in surprise: "What does this security bureau do? It originally sounded like a job as an Embroidered Uniform Guard. Why do you want to work in the factory?"

Wang Donglu replied happily: "Father, this is to establish and improve the overall war. If a war breaks out, all factories must be included in the track of war, and the management department during the war will take over the factory and complete the production arrangements required for the war."

As Wang Donglu expected, his father was unfamiliar with the general mobilization system, but he was interested. After all, his father was a Jinshi of the former Qing Dynasty and served as an official in Guizhou. Although the Manchus had been destroyed early in the early hours, and the Northeast under He Rui's rule was very different from that in the Guanzhong area.

The father and son became more and more interested in the conversation. Wang Donglu's mother couldn't get in and lay down halfway on the bed against the quilt and listened to Wang Donglu chatting with his father.

Wang Donglu said excitedly and couldn't help but sigh: "Dad, I thought I could learn advanced knowledge by studying in the United States, but I didn't expect that I could learn a real strategy for governing the country in the Northeast. Chairman He is really rich in the country and strengthening the army."

Hearing this, Mr. Wang's face became serious, "Donglu, you have only been here for two months, don't be willing to be willing. The new policy in the late Qing Dynasty was in full swing, but a royal cabinet collapsed. Although He Rui was quite capable of making money, he acted radically and had offended too many people."

Wang Donglu did not agree with his father's cautious view, "What if you offend those people? Can they still invade the Northeast? The Northeast Army is full of 120,000 people. How many new troops were there in the late Qing Dynasty?"

Hearing that his son was so angry, Mr. Wang's face couldn't help but look irritated, "You have to change your temperament. Don't just listen to the wind and rain. How much can you know if you follow others to do things?"

"At least I caught a drug trafficker in the street today." Wang Donglu couldn't help but use his daytime experience to prove it. "Since Chairman He took office in the Northeast, foreigners have been restrained. Opium poisoned China for a hundred years, and only the Northeast can sweep it away from the local area."

Hearing this, Mr. Wang didn't say anything for a moment. It's not that he couldn't tell his son. The old man didn't expect He Rui to really do this. At least in the newspapers outside the pass, this matter has never been mentioned.

At this time, Mrs. Wang spoke, "Donglu, banning smoking is a good thing. But after General He bans smoking, where will he make up for the annual low smoking tax?"

Mr. Wang has always admired his wife's vision, and at this time he also felt that this question was asked well!

When he was an official in Guizhou, Mr. Wang knew very well that tobacco tax was indeed something that could not be put on the table, but it was a real and reliable tax.

The ban on smoking not only reduces the smoking tax, but also requires a lot of money to be invested. Regardless of good or evil, it is very unfavorable to say that the government is managed.

Since He Rui did so thoroughly, Wang Donglu, the child, admired him so much. How would He Rui make up for this income?
