Chapter 684: Can’t Provoke, Can’t Provoke

After the third son of the third generation of the Ye family was born, the principal and his wife were the first batch of military and political leaders to send blessings.

The principal's wife even proposed to recognize the little devil as her godson, but later she gave up considering that it was her concubine's birth and that Ruan Lingyu was a movie star.

She has accepted Ye Zhuohua as her godson, and that's because firstly, Ye Zhuohua is the eldest son, and secondly, little Aqiao is the second concubine after all, and she claims to be an equal wife to the outside world.

Otherwise, as the principal's wife, if she wants to recognize her godson or goddaughter, the other party can only be Bai Xiuzhu's heir.

Just when a bunch of people came to congratulate Ye Luo, on March 7, Rehe was still completely occupied by the crazy Japanese.

At this time, the people across the country were filled with indignation, and they have been condemning the principal and Zhang Hanqing for losing power and humiliating the country, and for being the leaders of warlords in vain.

Zhang Hanqing was determined to fight the Japanese invaders to the end, but he ended up with this result. He himself was a little disheartened. Faced with the bad public opinion and situation, Zhang Hanqing called the Jinling National Government on the day that Rehe fell, saying He took the blame and resigned, and then was electrified to step down.

Of course, this exit is as fake as the principal’s exit last time.

The power of the army is still in the hands of Zhang Hanqing's confidants. After he returns from his study tour in Europe, everything will be as usual.

His resignation this time was mainly to appease public anger and also to give the principal a step down.

It is impossible for the principal to leave the Jinling National Government now.

If he follows him downfield again, no one will be able to take over that position.

In the last battle of Songhu, the principal had already proved with his strength that both Wang and Sun Ke were useless, and he was the only one who could lead the Kuomintang.

If he can't leave the field, then Zhang Hanqing will have to be the scapegoat.

After all, it was him during the Fengtian Incident, and it was him now that Rehe fell. Zhang Hanqing could never escape the stigma of ruining the three northern provinces.

Due to Zhang Hanqing's sudden resignation, the political situation in Peiping was in chaos for several days. Wang Zhuoran took the opportunity to act in the chaos and released all the underground organization members imprisoned in several prisons without attracting anyone's attention.

The transitional period between 1932 and 1933 became extremely long for the people of the three northern provinces that had fallen.

Warlords and rich people can leave quietly through various channels, while poor people can only stay where they are, craning their necks and waiting to die.

In this environment, various anti-Japanese small groups continued to emerge. No one could stand the dual oppression of the Japanese puppets and the Kwantung Army. Although the trend was broken as soon as they were launched, they continued to appear.

The commander of the Kwantung Army, Muto Nobuyoshi, personally deployed a large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign, and at the same time ordered the puppet troops to carry out some propaganda work in the crusade areas.

The so-called propaganda means to dispose of civilian weapons and distribute leaflets that are friendly to the people, so that they will not resist or harbor small anti-Japanese groups.

The puppet soldiers were not good at fighting, but they were very good at dealing with the people. When they came to the villages, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil, just like locusts passing through the border, causing chaos everywhere.

The transport convoy of the Ye's Charity Foundation encountered the puppet army and the Kwantung Army several times in the north. At first, due to the prestige of Ye's investment, a small group of puppet troops did not dare to take action. However, the Kwantung Army relied on its firepower and advantages to try. Several plunders.

In the most serious incident, more than ten people in a small convoy of five vehicles were taken away and killed, and all supplies were looted.

This time, the Kwantung Army completely annoyed Ye Luo.

The core of Ye Luo's business is that if you don't do it, I won't do it. We compare business capabilities, capital, connections, and technology. But if you use swords and guns, then I am not a vegetarian.

Although Ye's Sports and Ye's Security have evacuated most of their employees from the north, many employees remain there, and some industries invested by Ye's still have roots in the north.

Even in areas ruled by the Kwantung Army, people's livelihood and economy cannot be completely lost. After Chinese businessmen are continuously exploited, only Ye's investment can continue to survive.

At this time, Ye's Investment announced a complete withdrawal from the north. Factories were closed, shops were closed, workers went on strike, and funds were transferred.

At the same time, Ye's convoy gathered a new group of people, and even Liu Fangwu, who trained his troops and horses every day in Qing City, sent a battalion of elites there.

The scariest thing is still in the Jiacheng tax inspection team.

Ye Luo equipped them with the best weapons and equipment, the best food, the most elite soldiers, aircraft, cannons, tanks and rocket launchers. He bought and distributed everything he could buy.

During the Battle of Songhu, the Tax Police Corps gave the Japanese invaders a warning, letting them know that as long as their equipment did not fall behind, the Chinese army might not be able to defeat them.

Of course, Ye Luo would not be stupid enough to go to war. On the one hand, he publicly accused the Kwantung Army of its unscrupulous behavior, and on the other hand, he attacked Japanese spies and Japanese businessmen in the south.

No matter how awesome you are, you still need to eat, drink, and sleep.

After the economic blockade of the southern business community, even if the Japanese Consulate General came forward to intercede, places such as Shiliupu Wharf would not let in a grain of rice from Japanese businessmen.

There are many people in Yeluo who come to your consulate and shops every day to cause trouble. Japanese people who are alone must be careful. If they suddenly disappear, even if you go to the consular court, they will not be found.

Ye Luo also engaged in consortium business in Japan, allowing Ye's investment to occasionally go on strike. In this way, he did everything, which directly caused the Kwantung Army to become a big head.

Although the Army Headquarters is fanatical, it is not stupid. It is too stupid to save more than a dozen lives, which has led to economic disruption and a sharp decline in business in China.

Even if they have already made an invasion plan, it doesn't mean that they have to "kill all three enemies".

The Japanese puppets and the Kwantung Army began to promote education in the north, be close to the people, and even set up primary schools to teach Japanese and carry out cultural invasion. Once Ye's Investment opposed it, all their "close to the people" methods were useless.

The power of Ye Luo and Ye's Investment was much greater than they imagined.

After repeated discussions, the Kwantung Army actually sent the Japanese puppets to return the looted vehicles and materials to Ye's Investment intact. Of course, the soldiers who killed people would not be handed over, but in order to give Ye Luo an explanation, they lied that it was the puppet army who did it.

The puppet army took the blame directly and sent out more than a dozen Japanese puppet elements, who were all beaten to death on the same day.

In this way, Ye's Investment stopped slightly and stopped making use of the matter.

Although Ye Luo's original intention was to completely destroy their economy and business, after all, the north was already controlled by them, and many things could not be operated. This was also the limit of what he could do.

However, this incident still attracted high praise from the majority of anti-Japanese people. Ye Luo was pushed to the position of the first patriotic industrialist in the Republic of China, which was completely opposite to the reputation of Kong Xiangxi and others.

Who said that businessmen in the Republic of China could not save the country?

Ye Luo quietly eroded everything with a silent method, and also tried his best to assist anti-Japanese groups in resisting the Kwantung Army.

It can be regarded as a shot of confidence for the people after the fall of Rehe. (End of this chapter)
