Chapter 660: A Group of Thieves
The news spread among the Allied forces.
All the allied soldiers were very grateful to General Yuan.
If General Yuan had not opened fire in advance, I'm afraid many of their allied infantrymen would have died.
But they have also clearly realized that they must obey orders in battle and cannot run around aimlessly, otherwise, people will die...
Although Yuan Shuai was tired after a night, he still forced himself to stay awake. After arranging everything, he brought his people to the jade processing factory at the Feicui River Base.
However, some soldiers who had just joined the Allied Forces had already arrived here before them and were putting the processed jade pieces into their pockets, intending to sell them.
When Yuan Shuai arrived at the factory gate, he heard some noise inside.
He waved his right hand, and Fu Yidao immediately ordered his men to surround the place.
Several guys have already rushed out with stuff.
They saw that they were surrounded here, with guns pointed at them one by one.
These people were so scared that their faces turned pale and they were sweating profusely.
Seeing that something was wrong, the people in the factory fled in all directions.
But this place has been besieged.
All of them were arrested.
Several brothers successively presented the collected bags to Yuan Shuai.
"Damn it! I'm fighting the Japanese and puppet troops, and you're making money here!"
Fu Yidao pulled out his revolver and pointed it at a guy's head.
"Please spare my life, please spare my life. I have old people to take care of and young children to take care of..."
All these thieves knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Fu Yidao did not shoot, but looked at Yuan Shuai.
Yuan Shuai gritted his teeth and sighed.
"We are here to help you, to save you. Our people are fighting and bleeding against the Japanese puppet army, and you are here stealing our things! Do you know what these things will be used for in the future?"
"These things don't belong to me alone. When I sell them, I will use the money to pay the military salaries of all my brothers and to buy weapons and ammunition!"
"Brothers shed blood and sacrificed their lives, shouldn't they get the military pay they deserve? How can they kill the devils without ammunition in their weapons?"
Yuan Shuai's voice gradually doubled in volume.
"If you steal our things, you brothers will have less military pay, less bullets, less shells, and more people will die!"
"We know we were wrong, please give us a chance!"
"Please forgive us this time, we promise we won't do it again!"
All the thieves kowtowed and begged for mercy again.
"You also have family members. You also have family members in our fortress and in our team. Aren't you afraid that your family members will be killed by the Japanese bullets or shells because we have no bullets or shells?"
Hearing this, all the brothers in the allied forces looked at each other and nodded continuously.
This time, General Yuan brought a lot of local soldiers from the Allied Forces.
After hearing this, the local soldiers gritted their teeth and glared angrily.
Because Marshal Yuan said that these things would be sold to pay them military salaries and sell them ammunition to fight the Japanese.
If these thieves are not punished, there will definitely be more people stealing jade in the future.
That would be stealing their military pay, stealing their money, and stealing their lives.
At once, all the allied forces shouted.
"Damn it! This is the money for our military pay!"
"Kill them if they dare to steal our money!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
The sound drifted away.
Some Allied officers from other directions also ran over.
Seeing this scene, the officers of the Allied Forces were so angry that they cursed and wished they could kill all these thieves.
It’s just that some of these officers knew these people.
The family members of these people are actually serving in their troops.
If we really kill someone like this, it will have a bad impact on the entire team.
The officers quickly pleaded for these people.
"Boss, these people deserve to die, but considering that their families are fighting hard to kill the devils in our team, let's spare them this time!"
"Boss, please forgive them this time, they are also our compatriots!"
Yuan Shuai is of course also aware that killing a chicken to scare the monkey certainly has a certain effect.
But now he was short of people, and dead bodies were of no use to him.
A living person can be sent to the battlefield to serve as an engineer to dig trenches or to be used as artillery.
He could only grit his teeth in embarrassment.
"Okay, I'll make an exception today and spare you for now, but from today on, anyone who dares to steal again will be killed!"
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir!"
All the thieves kowtowed to express their gratitude.
"Don't be so quick to thank me. Although I promised not to kill you, since you have made a mistake, you must be punished! Come, take these people to the position to build fortifications, and deduct half a month's military pay!"
Several local Confederate officers quickly took the men away.
At this time, Hami melon ran over from outside.
Upon hearing the news, Hami melon rushed to Yuan Shuai angrily and complained unhappily.
"Boss, what's wrong with you? You didn't kill him! What if someone commits the same crime again in the future?"
"Can you please keep your voice down!"
Yuan Shuai gave a look and Fu Yidao immediately called the people around him out.
Yuan Shuai and Hamigua were the only two people left in the warehouse.
Yuan Shuai exhaled a long puff of smoke and sighed.
"Do you think I don't want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys? But we are seriously short of manpower now. Can the dead help us build fortifications? Can they help us make money?"
"...That makes sense, but with so many jade artifacts, what are you going to do?"
"Of course we have to sell it for money, otherwise who would we ask for the military pay for so many of us?"
Yuan Shuai pulled up a wicked smile.
Hami melon's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Good boy, so the reason you want to take this place is for this!"
"What else can we do? It's been almost a month. If there's no military pay for so many soldiers, it will definitely be a mess! The military pay we have looted from the Japanese puppet army is not enough to pay them! And we still have to buy food and ammunition! By the way, contact the British headquarters and tell them that I want to do business with them..."
After hearing this, Hami melon suddenly became excited and immediately contacted the British military base.
When the British army heard that they had captured the Emerald River base, they were shocked and wondered if they had heard it wrongly.
The signalman hurried to call the brigade commander.
The brigade commander couldn't believe it was true.
However, they soon learned through the intelligence network that the Japanese Emerald River base had been robbed and many troops had been lost. Only then did they believe that the incident was true.
The British brigade commander laughed excitedly.
"Okay, very good, great!"
"Maihami, you have to guard the Emerald River base. We are planning to attack the Japanese and build a passage to your side!"
"Brigade Commander, what about our deal!?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I promise that as long as you defend the base, I will immediately promote you to the position of group leader when I arrive!"
Hami melon's face suddenly changed.
In fact, he is now a group leader.
But they actually asked him to defend the Emerald River base and only let him be the battalion commander after the British army headquarters arrived.
In other words, his brigade commander wants to take over the Emerald River Base for himself!
