Chapter 356 Life in the Republic of China in the Age of Chaos 14

Revealing the matter of the arsenal to Gu Tian was the result of a joint discussion between Peng Hengzhang, Jiang Lan, and his confidants.

It is no longer appropriate to carry the blame for Japan, as the domestic and international situations are becoming increasingly serious.

If this continues, it will inevitably make people think of us as traitors to our country, which would be a loss.

Now, with the help of the Gu family's arsenal, it would not be so conspicuous for the Peng family to build an arsenal, at least it would not be as conspicuous as the Gu family.

"That old bastard Gu Tian actually treated me, Peng Hengzhang, as a fool, and wanted to sell me those broken weapons he made."

Peng Hengzhang smiled, but he was not angry, he just thought it was a little ridiculous.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, but the greatest wisdom of smart people is not to treat others as fools.

Consultant Tian is obviously a smart man, but the arrogance of being a superior for so many years has made him habitually ignore many problems.

"The biggest military lord in Province Y has always been the Gu family. They can help us attract a lot of firepower. Now we can build a branch of the arsenal. On the one hand, we can earn military expenses legitimately, and on the other hand, it explains the source of weapons."

At least Consultant Tian will not think about selling his weapons here.

"Miss Jiang, thank you for your concern about the arsenal. This arsenal does not need to be built too well. It would be best if it is a little worse than the one of the Gu family."

Jiang Lan nodded and said, "Commander Peng, don't worry, I know what to do about this."

"By the way, there are people who are already handling the newspaper matter." Peng Hengzhang was full of emotion, "In the past, I only knew how to lead troops to fight, but now I understand that it is not easy to fight for the world."

Not only is it not easy, but it is a link after another, and each link is crucial.

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. The common people may not be of much use, but from the perspective of history, they will find that they are the vane of victory.

Jiang Lan quickly invested in the construction of the arsenal. Unlike the first time when it was done quietly, this time it was a big deal.

She even used her own selfishness to arrange her own people to go in.

Jiang Lan never forgot the original owner's wish.

The world was about to be in chaos, and she had always been concerned about arranging for those kind people in J City who had taken care of the original owner.

Jiang Lan came to P City quietly at first, and she was also sneaking around with the homeless child.

Now she is proud of herself and can openly invite those kind people.

Peng Hengzhang was not polite this time and directly called the Gu family to say that he wanted to take away several people from J City, who were all benefactors of his niece.

Consultant Tian checked again and again and found that these people were just ordinary people, so he did not stop them. Instead, he politely sent someone to escort them to P City. It

would be a waste not to accept such a favor, and he was happy to do the face-saving work.

In this way, Auntie Pang and her group were escorted to P City by two teams of military commanders, and met the legendary niece of Commander Peng - Jiang Lan.

"Jiang girl, is that you?"

Auntie Pang thought for a long time along the way, but couldn't figure out when she had saved the nobleman. It was not until she saw the person that she reacted.

"Auntie Pang, long time no see."

"Alas, I said I haven't seen you for a long time, and I thought you..."

Auntie Pang really treated the children as her own children. When these children disappeared collectively, she was sad for a long time.

"Sorry, it was indeed difficult at the time, and it was inconvenient to tell you."

"It's okay, it's okay, it turns out that you are Commander Peng's niece, how could you be like this?"

Auntie Pang instantly made up some dark pasts of the rich and powerful families in her mind, and felt that Jiang girl must have been harmed by someone.

"Auntie Pang, you will have to work hard to live in P City in the future."

Leaving your hometown is actually a very sad thing, but there is really no better way.

"No matter where we go, it doesn't matter. Now that we have you as a backer, we will feel more comfortable."

After hearing Auntie Pang's words, the others nodded repeatedly.

In a chaotic world, people are worse than dogs. You never know when people will die.

It is a blessing that someone is willing to protect them.

"Don't worry, everyone. I have arranged your food, daily life, and work. Jiang Lan can't give you too much, but I can still provide stability."

"Miss Jiang, you are too polite. We are already very satisfied."

"That's right, at least it's more promising than before."

When they came, they found that the environment of P City was better than J City, and the streets were also very lively, which showed that the people here lived a good life.

Jiang Lan arranged them to work around the new arsenal according to their personal wishes, and Aunt Pang was directly arranged to work in the cooking team of the arsenal.

Peng Hengzhang was actually very generous to Jiang Lan. He gave her all the land around the arsenal, including the ownership of the shops along the street.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Lan is now the real landlord in this area.

Jiang Lan is no longer the beggar who has to look at other people's faces for a bite of food. Now

she can be said to be second to none, a member of the powerful and noble class.

Jiang Lan's blatant abuse of power for personal gain has not been without opposition, but the opponents' opinions are invalid.

Peng Hengzhang also has confidants in the Peng family, who know Jiang Lan's intentions very well.

Not to mention a few worthless pieces of land, even if he gave her the Peng family mansion, he would not hesitate.

The more selfish Jiang Lan is, the more reassured the Peng family is, and the more they value her.

In fact, not only Jiang Lan herself, but also the few wanderers she brought with her, have now become the focus of training in the army.

Zhang Xiaoyu is now a company commander, and this speed of promotion is also envied by many people.

After Jiang Lan established the framework of the arsenal, she handed the work over to others, and she herself began to study new things. For

land combat, guns and cannons are the most basic things, and they are still at the stage of hand-to-hand combat, which is far from enough.

It is time for tanks to appear, which can be of great use in the future.

Consultant Tian was the first warlord in the country to establish a tank force. He bought several light tanks and used them to defeat a group of warlords, becoming an absolute local tyrant.

Tanks are crushing against human flesh.

No matter how powerful the guns and artillery of Peng's army are, they cannot defeat the crushing of tanks. Tanks must be made!

The whole tank is made of thick steel plates, with a thickness of tens to hundreds or even thousands of millimeters at the thickest point. Ordinary bullets cannot penetrate it. In other words, it is actually a kind of steel fighting machine.
