Chapter 413 Business Trip (Part 2)
After handling the matter of buying a boat, he also completed a major task for this trip to Shanghai. In the next few days, Wang Yu inspected the warehouses, docks, fleets and other places to comprehensively check the operation of the Shanghai branch. Although there were some shortcomings, the overall result still satisfies Wang Yu. After all, very beautiful things are hard to come by.
Then Wang Yu recruited shareholders in Shanghai and announced the decision that the company's headquarters would be moved from Qingdao to Shanghai next year. The shareholders had no objection. First, Wang Yu had a stake in his stake, and it was useless to oppose it; second, moving the headquarters to Shanghai was also sure that the company would be able to achieve better development. After all, Shanghai is currently the most economically developed region in China.
After all the matters were handled, we finally talked about the new projects of Yang Yuxin and Jiang Yi and his wife. This conversation was held at Wang Yu’s residence in Shanghai, because talking about these things at home is more private. In fact, a few days ago, Wang Yu also asked Jiang Yi what project the couple planned to do, but Jiang Yi asked her to finish all the other things first, and then talked about the new projects wholeheartedly. Therefore, Wang Yu did not ask again, but there was a question in his mind. Today is the time to reveal the answer.
Wang Yu said: "Tell me! What kind of project is it? It's so mysterious."
Jiang Yi said: "We plan to invest in the automobile manufacturing industry, that is, organize an automobile company. How about it? Are you interested?"
Wang Yu was stunned and said, "Isn't someone doing it for building cars? Isn't Gao Liu Automobile Company the same?"
Yang Yuxin shook his head and said, "No one stipulates that the old Gao family and the old Liu family have established automobile companies, so other veterans are not allowed to do it anymore. At the beginning, we were the first to engage in the textile industry, but later other veterans have opened more than 10 textile companies one after another. We didn't say anything about this! Everyone competes fairly and makes money with their own abilities. And from the perspective of the old time and space, all major automobile manufacturers have at least 2 or 3 well-known automobile brands, Germany has Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, BMW; the United States has Ford and GM; Japan has Toyota, Honda; South Korea has Hyundai, Daewoo, Kia; Italy has Ferrari Fiat; France has logos, Renault, and Citroen. Therefore, it is reasonable for us to become a major automobile manufacturing country in the future. And I think the Executive Yuan should be optimistic about us that we want to establish a automobile company. Only two companies can compete. The market cannot be monopolized by one company."
Jiang Yi said: "What is the prospect of the automobile manufacturing industry? You should know without me telling it. Moreover, the threshold for entering the automobile manufacturing industry is very low. Entering this industry as soon as possible can we seize the initiative. In addition, we have a lot of demand for cars now. First, the military orders were ordered. Last month, the Northwest Military Region ordered another 600 trucks and 100 Jeep companies to cope with the current war demand. Now the production of Gaoliu Automobile Company is not enough, so it is absolutely beneficial to enter this industry."
It turned out that in the northwest region, the conflict between the East China Government and the Sanma finally broke out. First, Ma Anliang took the initiative to send troops to attack the People's Army, because Ma Anliang's forces were mainly in Hezhou and Liangzhou in central Gansu, and the closest place in Hezhou was less than 60 kilometers away from Lanzhou, so it was also the main target of the People's Army. A military stronghold of the People's Army was less than 10 kilometers away from Ma Anliang's station, which can be said to be close to him.
Ma Anliang sent people to communicate with the East China Government several times, expressing his willingness to join the East China Government, but requesting the retaining of the army and its garrison, but was unexpectedly rejected by the East China Government. The reply from the East China Government was that joining the East China Government could ensure Ma Anliang's personal safety and property, but the garrison could not be retained, and the land, minerals and other assets were confiscated according to policy requirements, and the army accepted the adaptation, but Ma Anliang could be arranged to serve in the Gansu government or hold a military position in the Northwest Military Region.
After receiving a reply from the East China Government, Ma Anliang also knew that it was impossible for both sides to resolve the issue peacefully. With the continuous persuasion of the Russians, Ma Fuxiang and Ma Qi also promised that the three of them would enter and respond immediately. In addition, the People's Army set up a stronghold less than 10 kilometers from the Ma'anliang Hezhou area, which could directly threaten Ma Anliang. Therefore, Ma Anliang finally couldn't bear it and decided to break up with the East China Government and dispatch troops to first attack the stronghold that the People's Army had just established. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Ma Fuxiang and Ma Qi, asking the two to send troops together as promised to confront the East China Government.
The People's Army set up a company-level stronghold near the station of Ma'anlianghezhou area, with more than 200 soldiers, including a cavalry platoon and 3 trucks. In order to attack this stronghold, Ma'anliang dispatched 1,500 troops, including 500 cavalry and more than 1,000 infantry. Of course, since it was a tough battle, the main combat was infantry. The cavalry only advanced rapidly after the infantry broke through the People's Army's defense line, expanded the results, or used it when pursuing the People's Army.
Such an arrangement also shows that Ma Anliang is very confident in breaking the People's Army's stronghold. After all, there are only more than 200 troops guarding the stronghold.
After the battle started, Ma Anliang realized that he was outrageously wrong, because he was just a small stronghold covering an area of less than 5,000 square meters, but his firepower was abnormal. There were more than 10 machine guns alone, and there seemed to be a large number of artillery. Therefore, Ma Anliang attacked for two consecutive days but failed to break through this stronghold. Instead, more than 300 casualties were killed or killed. At this time, the People's Army's reinforcements arrived, and Ma Anliang had to withdraw his troops. The People's Army took advantage of the situation to attack, and the two sides fought a great battle in Ganjiachuan, northwest of Hezhou. As a result, Ma Anliang's army was defeated and had to give up the Hezhou area and withdraw to Liangzhou.
After returning to Liangzhou, Ma Anliang remembered that Ma Fuxiang and Ma Qi had not sent troops yet, so he hurriedly wrote to Ma Fuxiang and Ma Qi to ask for help, asking the two to send troops as soon as possible, and repeatedly stated that the interests of the cold and cold lips of his lips were still unmoved after receiving the letter. In fact, Ma Fuxiang and Ma Qi were not sure about confronting the East China Government, so he instigated Ma Anliang to send troops to test the real combat effectiveness of the People's Army. If Ma Anliang could still fight against the People's Army, the two would immediately respond. Once Ma Anliang was defeated, the two would not move. Think of him, Bi Jing's strength was similar to Ma Anliang. If Ma Anliang was not an opponent, then there was no point in starting an attack.
Ma Anliang could not wait for reinforcements, but waited for the encirclement of the People's Army. This time the People's Army divided its troops into three groups to encircle the Liangzhou area. Ma Anliang also knew that his general situation had gone, and he did not have the courage to continue to resist stubbornly. Instead, he dispersed his troops and broke into pieces and broke through. He led more than 100 followers to break through, and ignored his family and property.
However, the People's Army has set up more than 10 strongholds in this area. Even if the breakthrough is successful, it will still be attacked by various strongholds. Therefore, after breaking through, Ma Anliang was shot dead in a battle with the defenders of a stronghold.
Ma Anliang has four sons, the eldest son Ma Tingfu also died in the chaos, the third son Ma Tingyi, the fourth son Ma Tingxian and his family were captured by the People's Army, and their territory was occupied by the People's Army. Only the second son Ma Tingyou led a small number of remaining troops to escape into the mountains and escape, and survived. At this time, Ma Anliang sent troops to attack the People's Army and completely broke up with the East China Government.
Ma Anliang's rapid demise also brought great shock to Ma Fuxiang and Ma Qi. Originally, the two thought that Ma Anliang and his son had been in Liangzhou for many years and were deeply rooted. Even if they were defeated by the People's Army, they could last for several months. Then they knew that they were defeated and died in less than a month. Fortunately, they were stable and did not send troops with Ma Anliang, otherwise they would be unable to escape now.
However, after the People's Army eliminated Ma Anliang, the spearhead was directly targeted by Ma Fuxiang and Ma Qi. At this time, Ma Fuxiang and Ma Qi did not dare to fight with the People's Army and could only choose to escape. Ma Qi led his personal soldiers, with his family members, and fine property to the Yushu area at the junction of Qinghai, Tibet and Sichuan for temporary stationing, and sent people to contact the Deyou court in Sichuan, expressing his intention to join the Deyou court.
However, there was a little disagreement on Ma Fuxiang's side. Originally, Ma Fuxiang planned to flee to Xinjiang and surrender to Xinjiang to Yang Zengxin, but his nephew Ma Hongbin believed that the East China Government was in power and fleeing to Xinjiang was useless. The People's Army would march into Xinjiang sooner or later. Therefore, it would be better to accept the conditions of the East China Government, completely surrender to the East China Government, give up the fantasy of separatist rule, and get a good result in the future.
Finally, after the negotiations, the uncle and nephew decided to lead part of the army and surrender to the East China Government. Ma Fuxiang fled to Xinjiang with his family, army, property, etc., and temporarily avoided him. If Ma Hongbin lived well in the East China Government, Ma Fuxiang would join his family to join the East China Government.
In this way, the Sanma Group, which had been under the northwest for decades, all disappeared in less than two months. However, the Sanma Group was composed of the family as its main backbone and was formed by its relatives, fellow townsmen, ethnic groups and religions. It was a relatively loose group itself. Therefore, the Sanma Group was destroyed and its subordinates were either annihilated or surrendered, but there were still many remaining troops going their own way and becoming bandits. The northwest region was vast and sparsely populated, and it was easy to hide, which also provided broad living space for bandits.
Of course, the East China government cannot sit idly by and watch the harm of bandits, but it is much more difficult to eliminate bandits than to eliminate Sanma Group, because Sanma Group has its own base, but bandits do not have a fixed area and are undetermined whereabouts. This is why it is troublesome. Only one can annihilate the other, and at the same time cut off the bandits to obtain material supplies, slowly consuming them.
