Half an hour after Yamamoto Isoroku received the telegram that the supply fleet was attacked, Ouyang Yun received a telegram from Tielin Fei: The "cook-free" operation was successful.
"Our plan can be implemented." Ouyang Yun forwarded the telegram to Chang Geng, and then said,
Chang Geng read the telegram and then said: "Commander-in-Chief, then I will ask Yang Chuntai and Ye Chengyan to take action."
"Send my name first, and I can come forward if necessary."
"yes."
Yamamoto Isoroku wanted to force the Osaka Division to submit by compressing its supplies. However, he underestimated the "Trader Division"'s ability to operate. The first person to make the attempt was a superior soldier named Kuroda Seiichiro. After Kuroten Seiichiro met a local by chance, he first put down his rifle to show his sincerity, and then used half-baked Chinese and gestures to reach a deal with the local, using his water bottle and a pair of spare suede shoes in exchange for twenty Not only that, he also agreed with the local that he would continue trading at the same place tomorrow. Before parting, he patted his chest and assured the honest local: With me here, you will make a lot of money.
This "local" named Shen Gen'er was actually a cadet army scout in disguise. Not far from Kuroda, there was a group of Japanese soldiers enjoying the shade under a coconut tree, so Kuroda suddenly caught him. Himself, he was already prepared to fight to the death, but he never dreamed that it would end like this. This incident was reported to Chang Geng, and it quickly attracted Chang Geng's attention. Chang Geng reported it to Ouyang Yun, and Ouyang Yun then made a plan to take advantage of the situation.
The Japanese in the Osaka Division all have a talent for business. If it weren't for the war, they would be doing business in the streets of Tokyo or opening shops and dreaming of getting rich. Each person's daily rations were It is reduced to one-third or even one-fifth of the usual size. Not to mention full, it is not enough to maintain the body's maximum consumption. The conscience of these bastards in the Navy is very bad. The officers above do not care about the life and death of the soldiers below. This Under such circumstances, if you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself. Kuroda and other Japanese soldiers have this realization. In their view, exchanging food with the locals is really a last resort.
Kuroda Seiichiro's conscience was obviously not as bad as that of his navy comrades. After bringing back 20 kilograms of peanuts, he was not as full as everyone else. He exchanged half a kilogram of peanuts for a pair of suede shoes. After putting fifteen pairs of suede shoes in a sack, he arrived at the place of transaction with Shen Gener in advance the next day.
Ten minutes later, Shen Gen'er appeared with two trainees dressed as locals. When he saw three people coming from the other side, Kuroda was very nervous and hurriedly hid in a patch of grass and set up a 38 big build,
Shen Gen'er and the others had already seen Kuroda, and now they just pretended not to see it. The three of them stopped at the same place and put down their burdens. The other two said: "Old Shen, you didn't lie to us, did the Japanese?" Woolen cloth. "
Shen Gen'er looked around, then looked up at the sky and said, "Don't worry, it's not time yet."
Kuroda watched nervously. When he found that old Shen had already put on the suede shoes that he had given him yesterday, and that the bulging burdens the three men had picked up seemed to be filled with peanuts, his suspicions subsided and he slowly came out dragging the sack,
Yesterday, Kuroda often corrected him because of the name "nigger", but now, after realizing that this will be a big deal, he no longer cares about these superficial words, "Who is theirs?" he asked, gesturing,
The other two "locals" looked very cautious. They looked at the gun in Kuroda's hand and looked at Shen Gen'er in panic.
Shen Gen'er had been bargaining with Kuroda for a long time yesterday, and seemed to have lost all guard against the latter. He frowned and said, "Black devil, what are you doing with a gun? Are you trying to rob me?"
"No, no." Osaka people attach great importance to reputation. Kuroda quickly defended, and then in order to show his sincerity, he put the gun on his body, then opened the sack and lifted it to the ground. Fifteen pairs of suede leather shoes rolled out. He noticed Looking at the expressions of the three people, I saw that they were immediately attracted by these leather shoes, and they couldn't help but grin.
"Military suede leather shoes produced by the Imperial Army are of very good quality. One pair can be exchanged for twins weighing twenty kilograms each." After gesticulating, Kuroda revealed the terms of exchange.
Shen Gen'er and the others also took off the earth-dyed cloth on the basket, revealing the peanuts inside. Shen Gen'er stretched out his hands, gestured and said: "Same as yesterday, a pair of shoes weighs ten pounds of peanuts, you can change it if you don't want to change it." Pull it down."
The two sides were vomiting at each other. After bargaining, Kuroda's fifteen pairs of leather shoes turned into two loads of peanuts. He also made an appointment with Shen Gen'er and the others again to continue to make a fortune at this time tomorrow. The deal was completed, and then a question came. Well, there is only one person in Kuroda. How can he carry back these two loads of peanuts?
Shen Gen'er and the others seemed to be afraid that the "black devils" would repent, so they picked up the remaining peanuts and ran away with fifteen pairs of leather shoes.
"Oh, it seems we can only hide one load first." Kuroda thought this and was about to put it into action. Suddenly, several Japanese soldiers who were with him jumped out. One of them, a man named Umuromachi, pointed at He shouted: "Okay, you Kuroda, you dare to use military supplies to do business with the Chinese people, you don't want to live anymore."
Kuroda was startled at first. When he saw clearly that it was them, he shook his head and said, "You guys are actually following me."
The right room said with a smile: "If I didn't follow you, how would we know that you came here to make a fortune all by yourself? Kuroda, we are all from the same team. If you are rich, everyone will make a fortune. With so many peanuts, you can share some with us." "
Kuroda thought for a while and said, "Okay, but what will you give in exchange for it? I declare that you don't want military receipts."
"Kuroda, let's do this. You give us some on credit first, and we'll go find someone else to exchange them. With so many peanuts, how long will it take you to sell them all by yourself?"
Kuroda's group of Japanese soldiers began their peanut selling trip. On the third day, just as they were preparing to continue trading with Shen Gener and others with a large amount of military supplies, Ichikawa Sahei, the squadron leader of their squadron, led Several people came to the door,
"Kuroda, you have done a good job." Ichikawa shouted sternly after leading people to surround them,
Kuroda was not afraid of him. He glanced around and cursed: "Which bastard betrayed me."
His comrades quickly moved out of the way and said in unison: "It's not me."
Seeing this, Ichikawa smiled and said: "Kuroda, don't blame them, blame you for being so dishonest. If you get rich, everyone will make a fortune. Haven't you heard of this?"
Kuroda had guessed that this would be the case as soon as he appeared. He sighed bitterly and suddenly said loudly: "Captain Ichikawa, we can take you with us, but we must not let Captain Hattori know about this."
Ichikawa's intention was just to make a fortune. Hearing this, he immediately said: "吆西."
Ichikawa agreed readily, but how many people could be restrained by his guarantee? Within a few days, the matter spread in their brigade, so much so that their captain Hattori Harukawa was stunned to join in, so Black Tian's tentative move gradually snowballed into a collective action by the Hattori brigade.
