On April 20, in the Jiyuan Military Headquarters, Lu Mingxuan was having breakfast while reading the newspaper that had just been delivered.

As the good news of the Shandong battlefield spread frequently, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people across the country became more and more high. In everyone's opinion, the good days of the Japanese were not long, and people were full of confidence in the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

And those traitors who took refuge with the Japanese were probably so regretful that their intestines were drained, Lu Mingxuan thought to himself.

At this time, Jiang Mengyun hurried in with some documents, and then said to Lu Mingxuan: "Military seat, there is a telegram from the Wuhan Presidential Palace, please read it first."

Lu Mingxuan took a sip of millet porridge and then took the telegram. After reading it, he couldn't help but smile.

"It seems that the chairman really doesn't want to see the Communist Party getting stronger. He doesn't even allow me to hand over the captured weapons to the Communist Party, nor does he allow me to have any contact with the Communist Party."

"Everyone knows that the Chairman of the Generalissimo is wary of **. Military commander, we'd better draw a clear line between ** and **, so as not to leave a bad impression on the Chairman."

Jiang Mengyun said with a little worry.

In the past, the Kuomintang killed many people when they suppressed the Communists. She still remembered it clearly, so she was very worried that Lu Mingxuan would be implicated by the Communists.

"Mengyun, there are some things I have no choice but to do, so please stop trying to persuade me."

Lu Mingxuan said with a wry smile.

"And I have no intention of ever being Chiang Kai-shek's subordinate. It doesn't matter whether he has a good impression of me or not."

"What is supposed to come will come!"

Having said this, Lu Mingxuan sighed.

"Okay, let's end this matter here. How is the war in Shandong going?"

"I saw that you were so calm, Military Commander. I thought you weren't worried at all."

Jiang Mengyun rolled her eyes at Lu Mingxuan and said.

"It's not about staying calm. It's about having confidence in our army."

Lu Mingxuan said with a smile.

"There is a huge gap between the strength of the Japanese and our army. Nowadays, war is no longer in the era of cold weapons. With a famous general, you can defeat more with less, and with a trick, you can defeat the enemy."

"What we are fighting now is aircraft and artillery, and what we are fighting is overall strength. As long as Nie Ziwen doesn't make mistakes, we are guaranteed to win. The only difference is whether we win more or less."

After listening to Lu Mingxuan's words, Jiang Mengyun shook his head helplessly, and then handed a battle report to Lu Mingxuan.

"Last night, the Japanese army planned to break out overnight, but Commander Li guessed it. They arranged an ambush in advance, and then they fought fiercely with the Japanese for six hours, and finally defeated the Japanese."

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but be extremely shocked after hearing her words. They fought fiercely for 6 hours continuously. You can imagine how fierce the battle was at that time.

"What are the casualties of our troops?"

Lu Mingxuan asked with great concern.

"The casualties of our army are about 1,000, and the casualties of the 11th Army are estimated to be about 2,000. The Japanese casualties are much greater than ours. There are more than 6,000 corpses left on the scene alone, and this does not include the injured Japanese.

"

"In this battle, our heavy artillery, rocket launchers, tanks and Bayi Bars all showed great power, which caused extremely heavy losses to the enemy. Especially the Panther tanks mixed in among them, precisely because they destroyed

It was because of the cannons that were secretly pushed to the front line by the Japanese that the Japanese attacks were repeatedly frustrated."

After listening to Jiang Mengyun's report, Lu Mingxuan nodded with satisfaction.

You also played with me and me playing with cannons and bayonets. I guess you went blind this time.

Do you really think our Panther tank is just a decoration?

"Since the Japanese casualties are so heavy, can our army capture Linyi today?"

Lu Mingxuan asked.

"It's hard to say. Now they have launched a three-sided attack on Linyi at the same time. Linyi should be captured in the next two days."

Jiang Mengyun said to him.

After hearing what he said, Lu Mingxuan nodded with satisfaction.

"In addition, our stockings agent in the United States sent a telegram. The sales of our stockings in the United States are very hot. They are often sold out within two days of being put on the market. Now our stockings have become hard to find.

. Even a black market for stockings has arisen because of this, and the prices on those black markets are two to three times what we sell, so they hope that we can further increase the supply, and only in this way can we earn more profits."

"Tell them I won't increase supply, and I'm going to play hunger marketing this time."

Lu Mingxuan said with a smile.

"Too much supply will only reduce people's purchasing preference. I need to keep our products at a high-end price point, so that we cannot increase the supply volume."

At this time, he remembered the iPhones of later generations, which always liked to play hunger marketing.

They clearly came to China to make money, but they pretended to be arrogant, formulated a large number of domineering clauses, and even had double standards for after-sales service. It was clearly discriminating against the Chinese.

It is really incomprehensible that so many Chinese people flock to it.

But this time he is more awesome than Apple, because this is an exclusive business, and it is an exclusive business that attracts countless women.

There must be countless American men who are heartbroken about their wallets, Lu Mingxuan thought with an evil look on his face.

"What was our profit from stockings last month?"

Lu Mingxuan asked.

"Last month it was US$6 million in the United States and about US$8 million in Europe."

Jiang Mengyun thought for a while and said.

"Send them a telegram and ask them to buy all the money into grain and ship it back to me."

Lu Mingxuan thought for a while and said.

"Buy it all as grain? This is too much! If we buy it all as grain, it will be enough to feed three million people for at least a year. Moreover, we have already bought a lot of grain before, and we simply cannot use so much."

Jiang Mengyun said hesitantly.

"Not much, just tell them to do it, and it must be done quickly."

Lu Mingxuan said to Hao.

For him, the production of industrial products is not a problem. The only thing he cannot produce is agricultural products, so buying more food is the better for him.

Moreover, it won't be long before a war breaks out in Europe. By then, the price of food will definitely rise sharply. Even if you buy food and hoard it, you won't lose money.

"Okay then."

Jiang Mengyun said helplessly.

North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Peking.

"Bagaya Road! Why is it another telegram asking for help!"

Tojo Hideki couldn't help but cursed when he saw the telegram for help sent from Kozuki Sushi.

He found that since he took over the position of Shouchiji, it was like sitting on top of a volcanic barrel.

Telegrams for help from Shandong came one after another, and bad news came one after another.

It seemed as if the entire battlefield was in danger.

This gave him a feeling: Will the war launched by the Japanese Empire end in failure?

When he thought of this, Tojo Hideki felt a sense of fear.

He was very reluctant to think about this issue because they simply could not afford the price of failure, but this issue was firmly rooted in his heart as if it had taken root.

He tried hard to find the troops he could mobilize on the map, but soon he discovered that he really had no troops available unless he mobilized those puppet troops.

But even the army of the Empire of Japan is no match for the enemy. Are those puppet troops useful?

Tojo Hideki thought with disdain.

Now that three divisions and a tank regiment in Linyi are in danger, the only way now is to ask for help from the base camp again.

When he thought of this, Tojo Hideki let out a sigh. (To be continued...)
