Chapter 132: No Debt
Luo Jiu shielded her face with a fan. She really wanted to laugh. This little Japanese devil seemed to have a lot of confidence in them.
Luo Jiu said: "Well, we will let you go back now.
Go back and help us draw a detailed topographic map of Dongjing's streets. When we arrive in Dongjing, we will spare you and your family and leave a safe zone for civilians.
Political Commissar Zhong, give him five pounds of labor fee and send him out."
The Japanese left happily.
The staff officers of each division could not help but worry, "Commander, now we have offended the Beiyang government and all the warlords. What should we do next?"
"Yes, we can offend Japan, but if we declare war on all the countries at the same time, won't that just bring hatred upon ourselves?"
Luo Jiu said: "It doesn't matter. Think about whether there are any other people you have offended. Just offend them all at once. Too many debts will never burden you."
"Ah?" Everyone looked surprised.
Luo Jiu smiled easily, "Why are you panicking? I have a good plan. You guys can go down and do your own things first."
As soon as the subordinates left, Cheng Yaoyao and Feng Qi quickly surrounded him and said, "Tell me, what's your brilliant idea?"
Luo Jiu rubbed his solar plexus slowly and lamented, "I don't have any good ideas."
As soon as we conquered the territory, problems came all at once. There were internal and external troubles, and the enemies were all difficult and not one was easy to deal with.
"Think about it now," Luo Jiu said, "If you think about it, there will be a way."
Cheng Yaoyao said: "You just boasted to them that we have an army of 100,000, but in fact, after this battle, our army suffered some casualties and our strength has been reduced to just 60,000.
Most of the warlords in the country have hundreds of thousands of troops. Compared with them, we are really weak and outnumbered."
Luo Jiu waved his hand and said, "Recruit soldiers. Advertise in the newspaper to recruit soldiers."
Feng Qi scratched his head, "Then do we still declare war on other countries?"
Luo Jiu: "Declare war. Declare war in the newspaper."
Zhong Jialing heard these words when she entered the room and asked hurriedly, "So is it to advertise recruitment or to declare war?"
Luo Jiu said: "At the same time, time is pressing. You should go to the city immediately and buy all the pages of tomorrow's newspaper.
The situation is already like this, let's just do our best.
Even if we are destroyed later, we have to muddy the waters and make all of their forces uneasy.
We must not admit defeat now. They all look down on us. If we show the slightest sign of weakness, someone will immediately dare to attack us and chop off our heads to claim credit from the Japanese. Then all our efforts will be wasted.
We fought beautifully in the first battle. While they didn't know our strength yet, we used a combination of punches to confuse them.
Don't they claim to be veterans? Let's just give them a random punch and beat the old masters to death.
They were confused and had no idea what we were going to do.”
Luo Jiu said as she took out a piece of white paper from the table and outlined a few sections with a pen. Her pen moved quickly as she wrote, "We have won the battle for Red Island, and we must also win the battle for public opinion, both internally and externally.
Internally, they commended the outstanding soldiers in this battle, gave them bonuses and medals, publicized their glorious deeds, and sent people to their hometowns with gongs and drums to present them with honor plaques.
We should publicize the grand occasion of our Red Island victory to the outside world and let the people know that our National Salvation Army fought and won the battle that the major warlords of the Beiyang government did not dare to fight.
The telegram to the Emperor and the photos of the battlefield were attached to the newspaper.
By the way, print out a dozen more copies of the battlefield photos and immediately have the signalmen deliver them to the garrisons and concessions of various countries, and give them seven days to withdraw their troops and go back to their own countries.
Otherwise, this is what happens to them.
Tell the people of the country that we declare war, we declare war on all invaders."
Luo Jiu drew another large area and said, "This is a conspicuous place to put our recruitment advertisement.
We must write down our ambition to drive out foreign enemies and tell them that we want to build a country where the people are the masters of the country.
It states the generous treatment and various benefits our army provides. Oh, and one more thing: the children of all fallen soldiers can go to school free of charge.
What else? Let me think. "
Luo Jiu put the end of the pen against his forehead and said, "Also, the content of this newspaper should be translated into multiple languages so that overseas Chinese and people from all over the world can read it.
I want to tell the world in a blatant way that the Chinese people have stood up! "
Time was running out, so Luo Jiu immediately divided the work, "Yaoyao, go write the recruitment advertisement, and I'll write the article about the Red Island victory.
Sister Qi went to visit the wounded and also arranged for someone to set up a recruitment office at the city gate tomorrow morning.
Jia Ling contacted the newspaper and was willing to spend a lot of money to buy the space. The content was given two hours later, and they were asked to print more copies overnight.
Before Zhong Jialing had time to sit down, she quickly picked up her purse and turned to leave.
Feng Qi took two quick steps and followed her. "Jiu'er just said so much in one breath. Did you remember it all?"
Zhong Jialing hurriedly raised the recorder in her hand and said, "Thanks to technology."
Feng Qi was stunned for a moment. Just as she was thinking about going to the space to get one, a loud voice suddenly sounded behind her, which scared her.
"Report to the commander! All the captured materials have been counted and stored in the temporary armory. Captain Gao, please go and take a look at the cleaning company."
Feng Qi sighed secretly in her heart. She finally understood why modern people describe their busy lives as being like fighting a war, because war can indeed make people very busy.
She straightened her military cap helplessly, her expression serious, "Lead the way."
Three hours later, Zhong Jialing came back from outside.
Seeing that the door of the operations room was closed, she pushed it open and saw Luo Jiu hiding behind the desk, typing on a computer with a printer and scanner next to him.
Modern office, maximize office efficiency.
When Luo Jiu saw her, he stretched his neck and asked, "How is it?"
Zhong Jialing pointed to her throat and said hoarsely, "Let me drink some water first."
Luo Jiu quickly poured her a full cup. Zhong Jialing felt her throat burning, so she drank half a cup of water in one breath. She finally said, "I went to four nearby cities and talked to eleven newspapers, and I basically have some ideas.
The two newspapers in Hongdao City, Hongdao Evening News and Hongdao Daily, said they would not charge us a penny and would publish for free when they heard that we were the National Salvation Army. Unfortunately, their distribution area only covered two nearby provinces.
There are four other companies that I paid to book. Each of them charged us 500 dollars and gave us both the front and back sides. The price is quite reasonable.
There were four other companies that negotiated with me for a long time. They either refused to publish photos or refused to publish telegrams, insisting that they had to consult the Beiyang government.
Damn it, they were hesitant and no matter how much we persuaded them, they just agreed to put up a recruitment advertisement for us and asked for two hundred dollars.
By the way, there is also a newspaper called "Republic Daily". They are currently the most popular newspaper in the country. Their distribution area covers 18 provinces in the north and south, and their influence is greater than the other ten combined.
But when I went there, their editor-in-chief had already left work, so I left my phone number, hoping they would be willing to cooperate with us, even if it was just to post a recruitment advertisement. "
