Chapter 448 Duan Qirui

  Sunset Valley

  This is the transition zone from the mountainous terrain of the mountains to the hilly terrain. It is also an important transfer station for the Longjin Highway to transport copper concentrate out of the mountain. The geographical location is very important.

  In just a few years

It has developed into a prosperous town with a population of nearly 10,000. It was named Sunset Valley Town. The town is home to dozens of affordable inns, large and small pubs and restaurants, and prostitutes, providing rest for the tractor drivers. Land and pastime, business looks good.

  There is a faint smell of diesel in the small town. The men and women who come and go here have this kind of smell, which seems to have become a characteristic.

  At the entrance of every inn, there are neat rows of heavy tractors parked, some are heavy trucks loaded with copper concentrate, and some are returning empty trucks.

  At the door of an inn

  Duan Qirui, wearing the uniform of a major officer, had her hands behind her back, listening to the two team captains telling the situation, nodded and said after a moment;

  "Brothers have been working hard during this time, oh...I will pass on my words later, tonight’s drinking and entertainment will be credited to my account, so please relax.

  The two cars that had problems were left in town for the time being. Since there was a problem with the engine, they couldn't be repaired either at one time or another.

  The brigade continues to deliver goods, don’t delay here.

  You don’t need to ask you to know that these two teams have a large stake in Chief Li. Everyone has to be more careful and careful in their work. It has your own benefits.

A new batch of improved heavy-duty diesel tractors arrived in Longmen Town. I pooled the money I made some time ago. This time I bought 12 more. Tomorrow, I will come over two to tow the cargo back. These copper concentrates are not acceptable. Lost, waiting for loading on the dock!

  You two have arranged manpower to watch the night. Remember to keep your eyes open and alert. The shortage of ore is a big responsibility. Your income for a few months is not enough to compensate. I don’t need to remind you, right? "

   "Yes, yes, sir, thank you sir for your generous donation. We are all careful about our work, and no one dares to be careless."

  "Please rest assured, sir, we are not running a day or two. It must be arranged properly."

   "That will do, you accompany me around." After Duan Qirui finished speaking, he started to inspect the parked heavy tractor fleet.

  After more than 10 hours of long-distance travel, these heavy tractors just parked in Sunset Valley Town. The tractor drivers were busy filling the vehicles with water and fuel, checking the tightness of various parts, checking the tyre stones, and checking the cargo strapping rain cloth.

  The hot front of the car was steaming and exuded a strong smell of diesel.

  After a day of running

Every tractor driver’s face is black, and the clothes on his body are greasy and black. Only the eyes with the goggles have a conspicuous white color. This is all smoked by the black smoke on the tractor, and a white mouth is revealed with a smile. tooth.

  Driving a tractor is a hard job. It is indeed full of majesty to drive it rumblingly, but the tremor of the diesel engine is transmitted to the steering wheel. It is not easy for more than 10 hours. It can shake the bones of the strong young man.

  So once they rested, the tractor drivers simply washed their faces and went straight to the tavern. After eating and drinking, they would sleep, and the next day would be full of energy.

Some over-energy guys got into the prostitutes to prostitution, and even the customs of the sunset valley town developed. There were many Fuso women wearing kimonos in and out of it, all of which were signed long-term sales contracts. Poor woman.

  Generally speaking

  If there are no benefactors to redeem him, there is only one who is so old and yellow, and when he is dead, he will use a straw mat and throw it into the wilderness, basically it is impossible to leave here.

These are Nanyang women from the Fusang state-owned organization. They use their bodies to earn some income for that barren country. They are happy to be able to come to the Australian territory. At least they don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and their living conditions are better than those in the southern two sheep colonies. too much.

  If the guests give more tips, these poor women who sell themselves can still save some personal money.

  The income from self-selling is collected by the boss of Fusang and deposited in the Huitong Bank of Longmen Town on a regular basis. After saving a sum of money, it will be remitted back to Fusang to support the development of the military and economy of the island country with poor resources.

According to the statistics

In this era, the Fusang government vigorously exported young women, organized, planned, and large-scale. The total number was as high as hundreds of thousands. The young body earns valuable money for Fusang, and interprets the sad and euphemistic stories one after another.

Comparison

  Australia is the most ideal place for these young women, where they can earn hard and strong pounds, have a good life, and lack meat, eggs, and milk, so they are all carefully selected beautiful young women.

  The Australian pound is much stronger than the Spanish peso on Luzon. As for the Dutch guild on Java, the value of the franc has shrunk a lot with the political turmoil in France over the past decade or so.

  So it seems that Australia’s pound is the strongest.

  In the town of Sunset Valley, a young woman in a kimono is a beautiful landscape. Isn’t it a temptation?

  Duan Qirui coldly looked at a group of women in Yingying and Yanyan costumes, walking by with wooden shoes on their feet, and when they passed by, they would bow down respectfully and salute. This was a tribute to the chief.

  Fusang women are gentle and considerate, hardworking and hardworking, they are very good maids and slaves.

  However, due to the restrictions of the Red Fort policy, it is not allowed to introduce young Fusang women into Australia without authorization. Only the Fusang government is allowed to send them organized by the Fusang government. Therefore, few wealthy families have Fusang slaves.

  Duan Qirui's house happened to have a few young and beautiful Fusang maids, and there were also a few maids in Chief Li's house. These women were the real lucky ones.

  They bought them from the country when they first arrived in Longmen Town, or it can be said that they were carefully selected and offered by the Japanese. Most of them were innocent fishermen from the impoverished Sandakan area, and they ensured that they did not pick up customers.

  Well, the Japanese managers can only laugh at it with a little heart.

"I think the team is in good condition. You two should spend more snacks. Chief Li will lead the team to fight in Africa. In the future, he will be promoted to be a nobleman and become a magnificent person. As long as you follow Chief Li and don’t worry about not having a good life, this ideal must be You all know." Duan Qirui took the trouble to ask again.

One of the two team captains is called Han San'er and the other is called Guo Lao Lin'er. It really nodded and slapped his knees and said; People under the car will not let the big iron cow get out of the way, and ensure that they are properly taken care of."

   "Okay, go and play when you are done, it will be counted on my account."

  "My brothers, thank you, Mr. Duan, and send Mr. Duan to you."

Duan Qirui waved his hand casually, and led a few guards along the street strode forward. The spacious street was paved with high-quality asphalt pavement. The shopkeepers and buddies doing business on both sides of the street saw him coming and stood up and bowed. Personal greetings

   "Chief Duan, bring some oolong tea from the shop to drink."

   "You are welcome."

   "What you want, what you want, is our blessing if you can accept it, some top-grade oolong tea is not worth much, you drink and play."

  "Executive Duan, please stay, I will cut some of my freshly cooked five-spice braised beef and fragrant pork head meat. Let me express my feelings."

  "Don't bother with this. I have a game at night and I can't eat this."

   "Then bring a supper for these brothers, this is a little bit of the shop’s little heart, and it’s not respectful."

   "Hey...this..."

   "Yo Xi... Officer Duan, please wait a moment, take a few flower girls back to warm the bed, please give me this honor."

   "Uh...I really can't ask for this, okay, I take Mr. Watanabe's wishes, and forget it with Ms. Flower."

   "How can that work? Please give me this honor!"

   "Hey... Mr. Watanabe, please don't pull or pull, how does this look like in the public?"

  Duan Qirui greeted all the way, and it was obvious that he was very popular here. He was the deputy chief of the Longmen Security Area, the major of the Zhengying post, the veteran of the area when it was just developed, and the real power figure in charge of logistical affairs.

  Secondly, Duan Qirui was in a high position at a young age, but he was kind and kind, rarely arrogant, giving people the feeling of being easy to get close to.

  If someone else looked down on him, that would be really a shame.

  Duan Qirui was the chief butler in charge of logistics during Li Shuanzhu’s appointment as the chief of the Longmen Security District.

Moreover, Li Shuanzhu and Duan Qirui never use their powers for profit. They are very aware of their position. It is also permitted by the policy to invest in heavy tractors to participate in the transportation of ore. .

  If you want to go further in the military, discipline yourself is the most important thing.

  There is a little brother Duan Qirui in this regard. Li Shuanzhu can safely entrust most of his property to him, because the two are close brothers-in-law and they are married to the two daughters of the old man Zhao from the Kunqu Opera family.

  The eldest daughter Qingfeng married Li Shuanzhu, the garrison chief, and the younger daughter Qingyue married Duan Qirui. The relationship between the two people changed from brother to relative, and of course they were closer together.

This time, Li Shuanzhu served as the main team leader on the expedition to Africa, leaving Duan Qirui here to look after the family, because here are the properties and family members bought by the brothers, and Duan Qirui has just been promoted to the position of the main camp, within a short period of two to three years. No further promotion.

Queensland’s military street contains extremely high gold content. Even if the division commander is only the rank of brigadier general, this is very strict on the promotion of officers from the German Empire, especially for middle-level officers and above, they must hold a variety of positions and reach a certain number of years. Only by being outstanding can you continue to be promoted.

  For example, after Li Shuanzhu was promoted to the head of the regiment, he is still the rank of lieutenant colonel. It is because of insufficient years that he cannot obtain the rank of colonel.

  If you have made military exploits in Africa, then after you have been promoted to deputy division commander, you can naturally be assigned the rank of colonel and become a high-ranking officer in the military.

  As for being promoted to brigadier general, then don’t count on it within three to five years. It will be hanging in six or seven years, depending on whether there is an opportunity.

Li Shuanzhu once served in the local garrison force and in the field army, so he lacks experience in the general staff and military academies in his qualifications. These missing qualifications must be filled in, and then he can perform well in all aspects. Opportunity to enter the inspection list of regular teachers.

  Because there are only 6 divisions in Queensland, senior officers at division level are really a carrot and a pit. They are not inferior to seniority and military exploits. Why should you give you important positions?

For example, Deputy Commander Koch of the Second Division of Kalimantan, was born in the Junker military nobleman in Germany. He was the rank of captain when he came to Queensland. Muda has made great military exploits and is still serving as deputy commander in the African Expeditionary Force.

   Why? No place!

  Only when the opportunity comes, these talents will stand out. For example, in the face of a big war, Lord Earl orders a large-scale army expansion, then the opportunity will come.

  So the Queensland army is happy after hearing the war. The officers are promoted to make a fortune, and the soldiers have made a lot of military exploits. After leaving the army, they will divide the fields and marry their wives, so that they can live a leisurely landlord life.

  Just think about it, who wouldn’t?
