Chapter 1018 At Shangqingfeng Village
Hong Niangzi waved her hand and said, "It's nothing serious. Your brother and I are both careless people. We may be able to eat and drink, but if it comes to finding a peaceful job for the brothers of Qingfeng Village, we really can't do it."
She truly couldn't do it. All she could do was keep the area around Qingfeng Village safe. As for anything else, neither could her husband.
Since neither she nor her husband could do this, why couldn't they let the one who could do it do it?
The Zhou brothers and any of their wives are capable of this.
Asaka Shurei's gaze fell on the faces of the leaders of Qingfeng Village. Those people also looked completely at ease.
"What do you think about this, sir?" Asaka Shurei asked Zhou Weiguo for his opinion.
Zhou Weiguo hummed in agreement; “My elder brother and sister-in-law don’t treat us like outsiders. Since they’ve said so, why don’t you share your thoughts?”
Asaka Shurei put down her wine bowl. "Brother, sister-in-law, there are no outsiders here, so I'll take my leave. Qingfeng Village has always been a thorn in the side of the Japanese army. The reason you've been able to hold on is because Tiger Head Mountain cooperates with you, and also because the Japanese army has no intention of wiping you out. If the Japanese army makes a decision, then let alone one Tiger Head Mountain, even if there were two more Tiger Head Mountains, they probably wouldn't be able to protect you."
If the Japanese army had this intention, they could have easily transferred a brigade from the Jinan direction, one brigade to defend Hutou Mountain, and another brigade to attack Qingfeng Village.
No matter how tight the defenses of Qingfeng Village were, it was really just one line of defense. Under the combined attack of Japanese tanks and bombers, not only would the hundreds of brothers in Qingfeng Village have no way to survive, but they might even affect the surrounding people.
"I've thought about this problem too." Zhu Ziming rubbed his bald head and sighed. "But sister-in-law, you know, we only have this much skill, we have no idea how to do it."
"Tiger Head Mountain is about to transfer people away. My elder brother is also going to Northern Jiangsu to handle some business. He will probably be active in Northern Jiangsu for a short period of time. You should go with him. Firstly, to assist him in his work, and secondly, so that you can leave your names in history books in the future."
If this succeeds, these people's names will surely be recorded in the book someday.
And she also believed that this matter would definitely succeed.
Because, after seeing the actions taken here, Berlin's plan was far more ruthless.
This is merely a decoy; the real actor is Berlin, and who will ultimately reap the rewards is something only they themselves will know.
"Are we all leaving?" Zhu Ziming was still a little reluctant. He had been here for so many years and had come to regard this place as his home. Suddenly having to leave was something he really didn't want to do.
Hong Niangzi generously placed a chicken leg in his bowl; "It's not like you're never coming back. Besides, sir, you should know that hundreds of brothers trust you and follow you. We can't just do what makes us happy and ignore the feelings of our brothers."
Zhu Ziming was easygoing. After hearing what his wife said, he sighed and said, "Alright, then I'll listen to my brother."
Having ascertained Zhu Ziming's meaning, Zhou Weiguo went to Hutou Mountain the very next day without stopping.
At Tiger Head Mountain, Liu Yuan seemed to have known all along that his younger brother was coming. So when Zhou Weiguo appeared in front of him, Liu Yuan simply smiled and stood up. "I have already received the message from above that you were coming to see me."
After sitting down on the stool and looking around, Zhou Weiguo nodded and asked, "Where's Li Yong?"
He remembered that Li Yong was his right-hand man in his previous life. If it weren't for Zhang Renjie's incompetence later on, Li Yong wouldn't have died.
Zhang Renjie, that scoundrel, has already been eliminated by him; in theory, he has removed this threat.
“He was transferred away a few months ago, and now Zhang Chu is my chief of staff.” Liu Yuan poured Zhou Weiguo a cup of tea, and then gave Asaka Xiuling a bowl; “This must be your sister-in-law, right? My tea here can’t compare to what your Independent Brigade has, it’s just some country tea.”
"Brother, you're too kind. Our Independent Brigade isn't as good as you think." Asaka Shurei seemed to want to prove her point, so she picked up her tea and took a big gulp.
Just saying.
Zhang Chu walked in side by side with another person.
Upon recognizing that the person entering side-by-side was Chen Yi, Zhou Weiguo grunted and pointed; "The two of you?"
Liu Yuan knew about Zhou Weiguo and Chen Yi's past, but that was in the past. Since his younger brother married Xiao Ya and Asaka Xiuling, Chen Yi seemed to have moved on from that incident.
Moreover, she is no longer good enough for her younger brother.
Who is his younger brother? He is the current Lieutenant General of Shancheng. And who is Chen Yi? She is from Hutou Mountain. If she really goes to Weiguo's side, she will bring trouble to Weiguo.
Therefore, he persuaded Chen Yi, and even for his own selfish reasons, he and Cao Ying acted as matchmakers to get Zhang Chu and Chen Yi together.
At first, the two were indifferent to each other, but as time went by, they got through that awkward period.
"Congratulations to you two, Zhang Chu. Speaking of which, you have to treat me to a meal." Zhou Weiguo chuckled twice and pointed at Chen Yi; "If it weren't for a twist of fate back then, you probably wouldn't have been able to win the heart of this beauty."
"Of course, of course." Zhang Chu waved the oil paper package in his hand; "Look, I specially went to buy braised beef knowing you were coming."
“This is good stuff.” Liu Yuan turned to his wife and said, “Go and get a bottle of liquor. Everyone should have a drink today.”
Cao Ying smiled faintly, then got up and fetched the liquor, placing it on the table. She also went outside to buy some snacks to go with the liquor.
Yangcun was the headquarters of the independent regiment of Hutou Mountain, but this place was also a place where buying and selling were free.
The group sat down in chairs. Zhou Weiguo, Zhang Chu, and Chen Yi took a sip of wine, and then he put down his wine bowl and looked at Liu Yuan. "Brother, I think you know what my purpose is in coming here this time."
Liu Yuan put down his wine bowl and shrugged. "You don't think I could know such a confidential matter, do you?"
Ok……
Asaka Shurei looked up at Liu Yuan; "No, big brother, didn't you receive the news?"
That can't be right; he couldn't possibly not know about this.
Zhang Chu chuckled twice beside him; "We only know that we are going to do something big, but we don't know exactly what it is."
what……
Asaka Shurei exclaimed in surprise and then clicked her tongue; "This...no, this shouldn't be happening."
