Chapter 965: Borrowing a knife to kill, taking down Xiaozui
Hearing Lin Hao's question, the second lieutenant quickly responded: "Yes, we can open both American and British styles!"

"I can even drive a regular tank!" the second lieutenant added.

"Very good, what's your name?" Lin Hao nodded, his tone full of excitement.

It seems that his tank battalion can be formed, and the infantry fighting vehicles and tanks he bought are finally driven by someone.

"Reporting to the commander, I am Second Lieutenant Zhao He of the Armored Forces reporting to you!" Zhao He gave a standard military salute as best he could.

Looking at him, Lin Hao was very satisfied. When he saw the scars on his body, he immediately shouted:

"Dead, dead, first heal these brothers and use all my penicillins."

When Zhao He heard the word Penicini, his eyes lit up. Some of the wounds on his body had begun to fester due to being soaked in river water.

Without anti-inflammatory drugs, he wouldn't have lasted long. Now he was relieved to hear that there was penicillin. His life could be saved.

"Thank you, sir." Zhao He breathed a sigh of relief and then fainted.

Seeing this, Lin Hao hurriedly supported him and shouted at Long Wenjian:
"He's dead, he's dead! Hurry up, medic, hurry up, you have to save him for me!"

At this time, Silasila brought the medical staff to Lin Hao, tore off Zhao He's clothes, and looked at his body full of scars and festering wounds. The medical staff breathed a sigh of relief.

"Commander, he just fainted. He will be fine after using penicillin and cutting off the abscesses on his body. It's not a big problem."

Lin Hao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He finally met an armored soldier, and an officer at that. There was hope for his tank battalion, and he absolutely could not let him die.

"Give me the best medicine, and make sure to cure him!" After saying that, Lin Hao shouted to the prisoners in front of him:

"My name is Lin Hao, the commander of the Sichuan Army. All brothers, if you are injured, please come and register. I will use penicillin to treat your injuries and guarantee that you will all be cured."

"Thank you, sir!" Many of them were students, so they had naturally heard of Penicillin. They also knew that this medicine was more expensive than gold and was called liquid gold.

Usually the treatment was given to officers, and soldiers like them were not qualified at all. Now, when they heard that Penicillin was going to be used to treat their injuries, everyone was very moved.

After dealing with these hundreds of prisoners of war, Lin Hao turned his attention to the Chinese. Regarding these people, Lin Hao pondered for a while and said slowly:
"If you are willing to stay and fight the Japanese with me, follow me. If you don't want to stay, you can leave on your own!"

As for those indigenous miners, Lin Hao naturally had no good face. He had already learned about their crimes from several Chinese.

"As for you, continue mining. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."

"Why?" one of the natives couldn't help but shout.

"Bang!" Gunshots rang out, and the troublemaker fell to the ground. Lin Hao sneered:

"Based on this? Not convinced? You can try it yourself, but my bullets don't recognize anyone!"

Lin Hao knew these cowards very well. Sure enough, after he killed one of them, the natives immediately became cowardly.

"Commander, do we really have to guard this gold mine?" Long Wenjian asked with some concern.

This gold mine is about fifty or sixty kilometers away from their airport. It is no exaggeration to say that it is out of reach.

Since we need to garrison there, we must send troops. If we send too few people, we will definitely not be able to defend against the large Japanese army. If we send too many people, we will face the dilemma of dividing the troops, which will also affect the development of the base.

But if they don’t send troops, the gold mine will fall into Xiao Rizi’s hands again, and wouldn’t their battle be in vain?
"Defend? What can we defend with? With our daily life, we have suffered such a big loss and lost the gold mine. We must take it back!" Lin Hao shook his head and said:

"There will be a huge battle by then. With the number of people we have now, it's not time for us to confront Xiao Rizi head-on!"

He needs time to develop now. Once he becomes strong enough, he can put his daily life aside.

"So what should we do now?" Long Wenjian asked curiously.

"Of course I'll give it back to my daily life!" At this point, Lin Hao said with a smile:

"Wait until their output becomes stable, then we'll come over to grab some!" Lin Hao treats his daily life as leeks, and he'll go and reap some whenever he has time.

"Besides, by then, Xiaori will probably still divide his troops to guard the place, and if they have fewer people, they will only be slaughtered by us. In this way, we can not only get gold, but also train our troops. Why not do it?"

After hearing this, several people around were amazed at Lin Hao's wit. This move was really ruthless. It turned the passive situation into active one and completely treated his daily life as free labor.

"From today on, you guys are the leaders of the mine. Hand over 50% of the gold to me every month, and the rest is yours, including the weapons!" Lin Hao said, pointing at a few natives.

Several natives were immediately surprised and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Only Long Wenjian and a few others looked at them with pity, helping others count money even after being sold.

Based on their understanding of daily life, when they take back the gold mine and find that only the natives are still alive with weapons in their hands, they will definitely be furious. By then, these natives will definitely not survive, and even if they survive, their life will not be easy.

Their leader was a master at using someone else's knife to kill someone. When Long Wenjian thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. This guy was really scary.

······
At the same time, at the Takeuchi Joint Force Headquarters, Takeuchi Renzan frowned and said to himself:
"It's been three days, why hasn't the gold been delivered yet?"

He had to use a lot of connections to get this gold mine from the division commander, who promised to give him half of it.

If the gold is not handed over on time, he, the commander of the corps, will probably have to be replaced.

"Go, contact the Tsukada Squadron and ask them whether the gold has been delivered!" Takeuchi Renzan was a little annoyed.

"Yes!" the communications staff responded quickly.

Not long after, the communications officer returned and said with a very grim expression: "Colonel, the Tsukada Squadron has lost contact."

"What?" Takeuchi Lianshan was stunned. That gold mine was related to his future. Whether he could be promoted to major general depended on the output of this gold mine.

Behind this, there is a huge chain of interests involved. Otherwise, how could a small colonel like him swallow such a huge gold mine?

"What's going on?" Takeuchi Renzan suddenly stood up and asked.

"I don't know. We called several times but there was no news. Moreover, according to combat requirements, they must contact us every three days!" The communications staff officer's face did not look very good either.

"Baga, Baga, assemble the troops immediately!" The gold mine is related to his future, so there is no room for loss, Takeuchi Renzan shouted loudly.

Soon, Takeuchi Renzan led a squadron to the gold mine. When they arrived at the gold mine, they found that there were still people there, and their brows immediately frowned.

Could it be that the radio was out of order? But that shouldn't be the case. If the radio was out of order, someone would have definitely been sent to notify him.

As a result, when he arrived at the entrance of the gold mine and saw a Jingguan, he suddenly became furious, his eyes turned bloodshot, he pulled out his command knife, and chopped a big tree nearby.

"Baga, who did this?"

Looking at the gleaming head with wide eyes, many Japanese soldiers subconsciously touched their necks and felt a little scared.

After all, the Japanese soldiers are also human beings, they are just more brutal, so everyone is afraid of them. But when they encounter someone more brutal than them, they are the ones who will be cowardly.

"Colonel, there are still natives mining gold inside." The squadron leader hurried over and whispered.

When Takeuchi Lianshan heard this, his eyes flashed with coldness, and then he said in a cold tone: "Catch a few people and ask them!"

Not long after, several natives were brought to Takeuchi Lianshan.

"Who killed the imperial army?" asked Takeuchi Renzan.

"Chiligulu, chiligulu~!" There was a burst of bird calls, and the translator quickly gave the answer.

"Sichuan Army? How is that possible? Have we driven them all back to Nujiang?" Takeuchi Lianshan didn't believe it. At this moment, the Japanese army had completely occupied Sichuan and was attacking westwards.

The enemy fled at the sight of them along the way and didn't even put up a decent resistance, so how could there be any Sichuan Army?

"Kill them and capture another group to interrogate!" Takeuchi Lianshan said.

However, after killing several groups in succession, the answer they received was the same: the Sichuan Army attacked their mines.

At this moment, Takeuchi Lianshan's face was extremely pale. In his jurisdiction, there was actually a Sichuan Army fighting. This was absolutely intolerable.

"Baga, kill all these natives to commemorate our warriors." Takeuchi Renzan had murderous intent on his face and signaled his subordinates to execute all the natives.

"Colonel, if we kill them all, the gold mine will not be able to operate in a short period of time." The squadron leader said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Takeuchi Lianshan shook his head: "If we don't kill them, they will definitely inform the Sichuan Army!"

"Besides, the last thing we lack here is natives. Didn't we capture a group of prisoners of war a few days ago? We don't need to execute them. We can bring them all to mine, and then transfer a squadron to garrison here."

"Hey, Colonel, you are wise." The squadron leader flattered him quickly.

······
On the other side, the Sichuan Army returned to the airport with a full load, and this time they made a small fortune.

It turned out that in addition to the 500 kilograms of gold that had to be handed over to Takeuchi Lianshan at the mine, another 100 kilograms of gold was looted from the natives and the little people.

So Lin Hao was in a good mood and immediately asked Milong to prepare a big meal for everyone tonight.

"Brother, it's time for dinner." Xiaozui walked into the room with a lunch box and whispered.

Looking at Xiaozui's expression, it was obvious that something was wrong. Lin Hao frowned slightly and said to her.

"Xiaozui, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? Tell me and I'll beat him up!"

As he spoke, Lin Hao took out the Browning 1911 from his waist and slapped it directly on the table, as if he was making the decision for Xiaozui.

"Puchi~!" Seeing Lin Hao's serious look, Xiaozui couldn't help laughing, and Lin Hao couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

To be honest, Xiaozui looks really good when she smiles. Her pretty face is particularly charming and sincere when she smiles.

You know, there was no makeup technology at that time, and Chen Xiaozui's bare face made Lin Hao a little moved.

"No one bullies me." Xiaozui shook his head and explained, "Brother, am I going to have another sister-in-law?"

Lin Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he smiled and said, "Where did this sister-in-law come from? Who told you that?"

"I, I~, well, I heard that the woman with a child~." Xiaozui pouted and said hesitantly.

Although the voice was very small, Lin Hao still heard it and looked at Xiaozui in confusion.

Wasn't Shangguan dating Milong? Why did he bring this up?

But this is not the point. Lin Hao is not a novice, so he naturally understands Xiaozui's thoughts. Then he smiled and said:

"You're not jealous!"

After hearing Lin Hao expose her little thoughts and being stared at by Lin Hao, Xiaozui's face turned red and she lowered her head subconsciously.

"Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiaozui shrank his head, and suddenly mustered up the courage, took a deep breath and said loudly: "Brother, I, I want to be with you!"

Lin Hao was startled and surprised by the courage of this little girl.

"What? What did you say?" Lin Hao looked at her in shock. He didn't expect Xiaozui to take the initiative to confess.

Xiaozui thought Lin Hao didn't agree, so he said again with certainty:
"Brother, I said I like you and I want to be with you."

As expected of a Sichuan girl, she is bold and dares to love and hate, which made Lin Hao hesitant for a moment.

"Brother, tell me the truth, do you want to be with me?" Looking at the silent Lin Hao, Xiaozui looked a little unhappy.

"I want to!" Lin Hao was also a straightforward person and agreed immediately.

Seeing Xiaozui's happy expression, Lin Hao thought for a moment and explained:

"By the way, Shangguan and Milong are getting together and are about to live together. Who told you that Shangguan is going to marry me?"

"Ah?" Xiaozui was stunned for a moment, but finally said honestly:

"It was Captain Meng who said that if I don't take the initiative, you will be snatched away by that woman with a child!"

"Damn it, this old guy is plotting against me behind my back again. Let me see how I'm going to deal with him." Lin Hao said unhappily.

Of course, Lin Hao was just talking. In fact, when he heard Xiaozui say that it was Meng Fanle who said this, he immediately guessed what Meng Fanle was thinking.

He probably saw Xiaozui's feelings for him and deliberately provoked Xiaozui. After all, Meng Fanle knew about Shangguan and Milong's affair.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Looking at Xiaozui's shy face, Lin Hao walked straight forward, picked Xiaozui up horizontally, and then walked into the bedroom!

···Omit the 10,000 words you don’t like to read···
The next day, Lin Hao woke up, glanced at Xiaozui in his arms, and recalled the tenderness of last night in his mind.

Knowing that this was Xiaozui's first time, Lin Hao at least was not a bad person. He was still very sympathetic to Xiaozui and did not torture him too much.

After all, if he goes all out, it won’t be something one or two women can handle.

Thinking of this, Lin Hao felt that he should take a day off and give Xiaozui a surprise.

He then ordered Milong and others to prepare wedding clothes and hold a buffet banquet at the airport.

Then, in front of all the Sichuan Army soldiers and several thousand refugees, Xiaozui was welcomed into the house in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

After Xiaozui put on her wedding dress, she was extremely happy. She didn't expect that Lin Hao had prepared such a grand wedding for her.

The wedding went smoothly. In order to prevent the same unfortunate thing as Li Yunlong from happening again, Lin Hao even asked people to go out and investigate, and make preparations in advance to prevent any sneak attacks during the wedding.

Happy times are always short, and after the wedding, Lin Hao has more important things waiting for him.

After everything was settled, Lin Hao came to the United States again. Seeing that there was less than one million left in the company's account, he frowned slightly and looked through the recent financial statements.

"Hey, the farms and factories are all settled? The efficiency is quite high." After reading the financial statements, Lin Hao was a little surprised.

"Yes, boss." The company's vice president replied nervously.

"Well, you did a good job. Talk to the finance department and they'll give you an extra month's salary as a bonus next month." If you want the horses to run, it's not enough to just eat grass, you also have to feed them meat so that they'll work harder.

"Thank you, boss." The vice president was surprised to hear this. This was the boss's recognition of his work achievements.

"Well, work hard and I will give you bonuses at the end of the year. As for how much you can get, it depends on your performance." Lin Hao said with a smile.

After that, he gave another list. This time it was still mainly basic supplies, and several thousand people were added. Now the population of the entire airport is estimated to have reached more than 6,000 people, so the daily consumption is very huge.

Every time he came back, he would replenish a batch of basic living supplies, but this time the basic supplies also included towels, soap, washbasins, etc.

The materials he wants to buy this time are very large, especially steel, cement and the like, which are bulk goods. Although the unit price is not high, it is unreasonable to talk about the price without talking about the quantity. Adding up so many materials, the money spent is not small.

Fortunately, Lin Hao had sufficient funds, and with some tricks, he could barely afford it. Otherwise, he would have had to use up his gold reserves.

Lin Hao wants to build a comprehensive industrial system, and the first target is electric power industrial equipment.

At this time, the airport base still relied on several small gasoline engines purchased earlier to generate electricity. Not only was it fuel-consuming, but the efficiency was too low.
