reborn super empire

'Ba ba ba...'

There was a burst of firecrackers on the street, and the children rushed into the house under the urging of the adults, and they picked up bowls of hot dumplings and devoured them hungrily.

Some came out of their homes with dumplings in their hands, and gathered with their neighbors and friends in groups, with smiles on their faces.

This is the most comfortable year these overseas Chinese have lived, but this year is also a year full of dreams for them.

A dreamy beginning, a dreamy end.At the beginning of the year, no one thought that this would be the result. No one thought that Huaxia would drive away the Japanese aggression, and no one thought that Su Dao would send troops to the Philippines.

In a large farm in Bayunbang in central-southern Luzon, this is a farm contracted by a relatively powerful local Chinese. They hire Chinese to farm here, and at the same time pay huge management fees to the U.S. military every year.

Even so, they are often harassed by those lazy Filipinos. From time to time, they take up weapons to attack the manor, plunder all the resources here, and report to the US military afterwards. Board, of course, don't even think about getting back what the Filipinos swallowed, and the huge management fees that the Chinese need to pay are indispensable.

At least 30.00% of the year's harvest will be taken away by the Filipinos, and they dare not resist, for fear that it will arouse the anger of the Filipinos and harm their personal safety.The remaining 70.00%, almost another 50.00% will be handed over to the Americans.

In other words, it has been a year of hard work.In the end, only 20.00% can be obtained in your own hands, if so, that's all.But in this 20.00%, they have to pay workers' wages.And medical bills for workers who were injured by Filipinos.

If you are lucky in one year, you may be able to save a little bit. If you are not lucky, you can only eat your money. When you eat all your money, it is time to transfer this manor out.

The estate grows a plethora of crops, not just rice and corn, but also coconuts, sugarcane, mangoes and bananas, all the Filipino stuff.There are basically all of them here.

Areas are neatly divided, and different crops are planted in each area. Of course, rice and corn are the most planted. After all, these are things that can be eaten directly. Who doesn't want to have more varieties?

But those goddamn Filipinos, laziness is not their biggest problem, the most annoying thing for the Chinese is that you can grab it if you say it.It's okay to move some of the food in the warehouse, these fucking people, not only that, sometimes when they are wild.It will also destroy those immature crops.

But it's different now. The arrival of the expeditionary force brought them hope for life.Let them see the light.

And this manor is also a Chinese center in Luzon supporting the expeditionary force.All support for the expeditionary force throughout the Luzon region.Including the dispatch of guides, the surveying and mapping of previous maps, and the current military supplies, etc., are all managed here.

And this manor is also the largest producer of military rations for the expeditionary army. The military rations produced here alone basically supply one-tenth of the military rations demanded by the expeditionary army. Purchase grain in the surrounding areas, and then transport the grain to this manor. When a certain amount is collected, the expeditionary force will come and take it away.

To put it bluntly, he is a peddler, but Zou Shiming doesn't think so, because whether it is the grain he produces himself or the grain purchased from the surrounding area, he does not make a penny of profit from it. Also compensated for labor and other costs.

He bought it at whatever price and sold it to the Expeditionary Army at whatever price. At first he didn’t intend to collect money. Having a stable life is more important than anything else. Over the years, Zou Shiming has experienced many things. , Americans and Filipinos are hungry wolves who can't get enough.

It is not too much to give him too much, and he still doesn't remember your kindness. He came to make trouble again and again, which also made Zou Shiming rebel, so he kept sending people secretly to find foreign aid, hoping that You can drive away the Americans, or provide yourself with some support.

It would be the best if it can be like Lanfang Company. When the time comes to form a Lanfang Republic with its own army, it will naturally not be afraid of being bullied by these Filipinos.

By chance, the people sent by Zou Shiming met the intelligence personnel of the Expeditionary Army. After talking for a while, they exchanged contact information. People who can be summoned within the scope of ability to draw a map together.

But now, Zou Shiming has finally got his wish. As the Filipino Chinese who contributed the most to the expeditionary force, Zou Shiming has also received very good treatment. I dare not say anything else. Importance, the expeditionary force has sent a company of troops to be stationed in the manor for a long time, responsible for maintaining the security of the manor.

"Commander Hao, let the brothers come in. Today is New Year's Eve. You are so far away from your hometown and came to the Philippines to vent your anger on us. I asked someone to make some dumplings. Come in and have a taste, and see if it tastes the same as your hometown? "

Zou Shiming walked in the manor with a relaxed look and an excited smile from time to time. He finally found Hao Biao who was inspecting the fortifications, and quickly and kindly took Hao Biao's hand, pulling it back, While talking.

"Hehe, Mr. Zou is really out of touch. As soldiers, we naturally have the obligation to protect the safety of Chinese people. Although you are overseas Chinese, you are still Chinese people at your core. Seeing that you are being bullied outside, how can we Do you want to ask or not? Mr. Zou, go and do your work first. After the place is ready, I will lead the brothers to eat dumplings."

Hao Biao pointed to the searchlights on the two watchtowers righteously and said.

The garrison of a company in the manor has its own cooking team, and it takes care of meals by itself on weekdays, and rarely mixes with the Chinese in the manor.

And the soldiers in the cooking squad are not professional cooks, they usually take care of cooking.If it really came to a critical moment, the soldiers in this squad would also rush up with their guns.certainly.The premise is that the other soldiers are almost dead, and there is really no one available.

It's not time to cook.Soldiers in the cooking class basically have to join the patrol team, which is also a kind of military training.

Although today is New Year's Eve, this habit has not changed, so today's garrison does not have dumplings to eat, and on a special day like today, plus it is a special area, at night, they seldom bury the pot cooking.Most of them just use the extra meals at noon to deal with it, and if it doesn't work, they just eat dry food.

At this time, if one more person defends, it will be more safe. The important output of military supplies is related to the safety of hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops. There is a regiment of troops on defense, once something happens here.If it is daytime, HNA fighter planes will arrive within one to two 10 minutes, and ground support troops will arrive within two hours at most.

And waiting a week.Support was even faster, and the expeditionary force built an airfield west of San Mateo, where a brigade of airborne troops was on call.No matter where there is a danger in the entire Luzon Island, they will be able to provide support within an hour.

The rule of the expeditionary army is not to take a stitch from the masses.Although their food is basically provided by Zou Shiming, Hao Biao will sign a form for Zou Shiming.After the people from the logistics team arrive, they will settle the settlement with him together.

"Companion Hao can have such a responsible attitude, Zou is really lucky, but today is a special day, I think those people will not come to make trouble after they know that there is a garrison here. Bring the dumplings here, so that the brothers don't have to run back and forth, and can eat here directly."

Zou Shiming originally wanted Hao Biao and the others to eat in the house with him, but after seeing Hao Biao's resolute look, he gave up this idea. Here it comes.

After all, for the sake of the safety of the manor, he really didn't have to give up the face of inviting him to dinner, so Zou Shiming couldn't say anything more.

"Hehe, then please trouble Mr. Zou."

Hao Biao smiled, and did not reject Zou Shiming's kindness. Anyway, it's not that he won't give money. It's a fool not to eat dumplings. As for poisoning, it's even more impossible. To poison the manor garrison, Zou Shiming Ming didn't have the guts yet, not even the guts to take laxatives, and most importantly, he had no reason to do so.

'Clap clap clap...'

Just as Zou Shiming wanted to say no trouble, there was a burst of gunshots from the direction of the road leading to the manor. Zou Shiming frowned tightly. Through these few days of contact, Zou Shiming can roughly understand It was judged that the gunshot just now came from the standard equipment of the expeditionary force.

And the news that there is a garrison here has long been known throughout the city. They have no reason to come here to make trouble, unless they don't want to live, or they have absolute certainty to defeat the garrison.

"What's the matter? Is the searchlight ready?"

Hearing the gunshot, Hao Biao's expression also changed suddenly, and he hurriedly shouted loudly at the soldiers on the watchtower.

The problem arose shortly after it got dark, obviously it couldn't be a coincidence, these people probably chose to make trouble at night because they were afraid that their figures would be exposed during the day, but they didn't expect that Hao Biao had placed a squad in front The secret whistle, the gunshot is to remind the troops behind, and the second is the order for the secret whistle to retreat.

"Okay, but the wires haven't been connected yet."

The soldiers on the watchtower also replied loudly.

"Leave two machine guns on the top, and the rest of the people will come down to guard against me. Everyone will be on combat readiness. Mortars, flares, and listen to my password. Mr. Zou, please organize the young and strong labor force immediately. Our manpower is a bit short. No, I'm afraid something might happen."

Hao Biao hastily made a series of countermeasures, and at the same time asked Zou Shiming to organize the people. The young and strong labor force here is not only good at work, but also good at fighting. Now that there are insufficient troops, it is good to make up for the omissions. s Choice.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Without any hesitation, Zou Shiming hurriedly agreed, and at the same time turned around and ran back. He is already familiar with this kind of thing, so there is no trouble, as familiar as farming.

"Company commander, there are a large number of Filipinos on the road ahead. The exact number is not clear yet. After I fired the gun, the group of people accelerated their progress, and it felt like they were heading towards the manor."

It didn't take long for a squad of soldiers in charge of the secret sentry to run back quickly. Although they were equipped with equipment, they were still much faster than the Filipinos in short-distance sprints.

"Fire flares, everyone get ready, as soon as someone crosses the cordon, shoot immediately."

Hearing the report from the secret whistle, Hao Biao no longer had any doubts. This must be a riot, so he directly ordered. (To be continued..)
