Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Chapter 212: The Arms Race of Societies

There were no women in the house, only well-known big men. On the contrary, Gao Fei and Grey-headed Duck, two of the 12 friends of Quan Xiong, were not qualified to come in.

A group of people toasted each other and cursed Prince Rong for causing trouble for everyone and the heavy losses they had suffered in recent days. After drinking some wine, they started talking about business.

The word 'reform' has become very popular in Hong Kong recently.

When we get together, we also want to talk about reform!
Reform the power of current societies!

The large map of Prince Rong's house was brought out by Chen Huimin and others and was now hung on the wall. A middle-aged man with a weathered face stood under the map, holding a pointer in his hand.

After all, the Military Control Commission is orthodox and can still hire professional talents.

The man came from Taiwan, attended military school, fought against the Japanese, and was a regiment commander when he crossed the sea. However, there were too many officers crossing the sea, so he couldn't really get a rank.

I don't understand politics and I don't have any ability in business, so I've just been making do these years.

"Brother Sun, please." Chen Huimin and others raised their glasses to toast.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. I'll just say it for the time being, and you guys just listen to it, don't take it seriously." The man called Brother Sun said with a smile: "According to what you said before, Prince Rong is actually doing quite well."

"But he made two serious mistakes. In the anti-... ahem, based on my experience in the anti-Japanese war and the war of resistance, the more complicated the tactics, the greater the probability of failure, and the simpler the tactics, the higher the success rate. Because complex tactics require every link to be perfect, which is difficult, no one knows when an accident will occur, especially when there are enemies trying to trip you up."

"I heard from Amin that this young man named Wang Yaotang has set up his own command center, and his communication system is also the latest American product. This shows that he pays great attention to intelligence and communication issues. Based on my many years of experience, the quality of intelligence and communication can almost determine the outcome of a war."

"It's obvious that this young man knew in advance that Prince Rong was going to take action. As for the purpose of causing these car accidents, such as dividing the battlefield, it's actually not as magical as you think. It's just that we have to destroy what the enemy wants to do. If we destroy a little here and a little there, the enemy will be defeated."

"In the southern battlefield, our tactic was to concentrate our forces to fight head-on. In the Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Taiyuan, the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Changsha, and the Battle of Henan, Hunan, and Guangxi, the Japanese army deployed no fewer than 25 troops, while our army deployed no fewer than 60 troops."

"The Japanese army suffered 4 casualties in the Battle of Songhu, 3 in the Battle of Taiyuan, 2.6 in Xuzhou, 2 in Changsha, and the worst was in Wuhan, where the Japanese army suffered about 25.7 casualties. But in the end, the battle line kept retreating."

"On the other hand, what did the Communist army rely on? They fought behind enemy lines, disrupted a little production here, disrupted a little transportation there, killed a few devils here, and attacked a gun tower there. Logistics and transportation were their lifeline. They relied entirely on these small moves, forcing the devils to disperse a large number of troops to the township level, resulting in a shortage of troops in the northern battlefield and the front line was stuck in Shanxi and unable to advance."

"Brother Sun, Brother Sun, tell us about the present." Seeing that the old man started to tell stories again, Chen Huimin had to interrupt the spell.

"Oh oh." Old man Sun smiled embarrassedly, "I still feel bad about these things."

"To put it simply, there are three problems: low personnel quality, overly complicated tactics, and poor communications. It would be a miracle if we were undefeated."

After a while, Old Sun didn't say anything. Chen Huimin and the others looked at each other and asked, "That's it?"

"Ah." Old Sun nodded.

Everyone was speechless. You're just endlessly talking about old stories, but when asked to explain why Prince Rong was defeated, you just passed it over in one sentence?
"What else can I say? What else can I say about the fight between villagers?" Old Sun curled his lips. Damn it, if I can't tell you a story, I won't tell you!
Think about the glorious times of the 50s and 60s, and then think about the present.

Chen Huimin wiped his face. He could not force the capable senior who was invited from Taiwan to join the meeting. He could only smile and toast with a glass of wine, "Then Brother Sun, can you tell us more about the Anti-Japanese War?"

Old Sun drank the wine in one gulp. He was old and had no other interests, so he just liked to talk about this.

This lecture lasted for more than two hours, and foam came out of the corners of his mouth.

It wasn't boring, it was also a topic of conversation. The old man was happy after drinking, and he said he was happy, so he began to point out the situation, "What kind of people are your subordinates now? Holding a broken knife and shouting, they would wet their pants if they really went to the battlefield. If they were in the Republic of China, they would be hooligans and gangsters, and the bandits would look down on you."

More than a dozen gang leaders looked unhappy after hearing what was said, but no one dared to refute, as they originally called themselves members of the "Green Gang" or "Hongmen".

"A bunch of hooligans, using such complicated tactics, attracting troops, interspersing movements, and sneak attacks behind enemy lines. Damn, do they even understand the map?"

"What did that young man Cai Shenyao do? When he got the money, he first imitated Yuan Shikai to train his troops at a small station. What did you do? When you have a little money, you just want to buy a luxury car. You don't even focus on developing the community. If you don't fail, who will?"

"Half of the big warlords in the Republic of China trained in Xiaozhan, including Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, Cao Kun, Wang Shizhen, Ni Sicong, Tian Zhongyu, Lu Yongxiang, Qi Xieyuan, and too many others. Those who trained in Xiaozhan had many talented people under them, but you guys are just drinking and having fun, and your people are all bad boys."

"Don't even mention the command center or the communication system. It's useless even if we equip you with German or American weapons. There's nothing we can do even if the chairman comes!"

"So many questions, let's train first!"

I spent money, hired people, laughed along, and got scolded!

At almost the same time, Xinji also invited people from Wanwan to come over.

In this regard, the "和" prefix is far behind, and I can only rely on the relationship with the Hongmen. I hope to invite someone capable to come and give me some guidance.

It was really a big loss for 5000 people, and their own escape shocked all the communities in Hong Kong Island.

Hong Kong Island is so small, and if Cai Shen Yao's power continues to grow, it will clash with several major social groups, and no one wants to be brought down by the young people.

……

As various societies began an arms race, Wang Yaotang finally found some time to do something else.

"Brother Yao, there is a problem with the patent you asked me to apply for before." Wei Tao reported in a low voice.

"Ah? What's the problem? Don't you agree that this is a patent?" Wang Yaotang frowned. This was all he could think of.

"That's not the case." Wei Tao said with a smile: "The patent was registered by someone else."

"Ah?" Wang Yaotang said in disbelief, "Don't tell me it's that guy called Liu something?"

"Liu Qixuan." Wei Tao replied.

"No, has he gone crazy?" Wang Yaotang was furious. "Doesn't he know what I do? He even dares to register my patent? Iron Man!"

"I don't understand this either." Wei Tao spread his hands and said with a smile: "You were too busy a few days ago, so I didn't mention this to you."

It's just a patent registration, just get it back, it's not a big deal.

The problem is, I feel fucking sick!
"Aze, Aze, get the car ready, let's go meet this smart guy!"
