Speaking of which, Yamamoto is quite kind. Although many of the biscuits in the instant food provided are expired, fortunately the portion is very large. If the soldiers of the Osaka Division are not very picky, it will be enough for them to consume for a month. This armed ship The merchant ship only had a cargo capacity of more than 3,000 tons, but it actually carried nearly 2,000 tons of compressed biscuits. When Shigeru Sawada rushed to Hachisho Port in displeasure, and boarded the ship to inspect the goods in person, the old devil faced the cargo hold that was full of things. He couldn't help but swallow the compressed biscuits in a large package, and cursed in his heart: "This bastard Yamamoto, what does he think of us, do you think we are beggars?"
In this era, Japan's compressed biscuit manufacturing technology is really not very good, but the soldiers of the Osaka Division are spoiled. Otherwise, they would not trade necessities or even weapons with the locals for food. Once Tian Mao thought that his soldiers had to eat compressed biscuits three times a day for a month, the acid in his stomach immediately started churning, and he almost vomited on the spot.
I don't know if it was because of Yamamoto's care, but what Goto said was quite irritating: "General Sawada, this is what all the officers and men of our combined fleet have saved through years of frugality. I hope that your officers and men will not waste it. Please. "After saying that, the little devil bowed solemnly, as if he was fulfilling his duties.
His nose was filled with the smell of low-quality essence. Sawada Shigeru wanted to retort: Scrimping is a waste that cannot be eaten. He even wanted to slap Gotou immediately and ask him how dare he be so careless to him. However, thinking that he still wanted something from Yamamoto Isoroku, he held it back, stretched out his hand to fan in front of his nose, and fanned away the unique and disgusting aroma of the compressed biscuits. He said: "Is this all food, money?" Woolen cloth."
"Your Excellency, please come with me."
In terms of money, Yamamoto did not play tricks anymore. Each of the five boxes was filled with yellow and white items. Sawada Shigeru did a rough calculation and found that the five boxes added up to at least 500 kilograms of gold and silver. Goto handed over Sawada Shigeru made a list. In addition to the number of compressed biscuits, there was also the amount of money. Sawada Shigeru saw that the five boxes on the list were worth a total of 150 kilograms of gold. His face finally showed joy.
One hundred and fifty kilograms of gold, converted into Japanese yen, is three million, and converted into Hainan's local academic yen, that is nine million. It is indeed a large amount of money.
Goto saw the change in Sawada's expression and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: He is worthy of being the division commander of the Osaka Division. Although he only has one eye left, he can still see money with eyes wide open and his face remains calm. He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him, saying: "General, this is the letter that Mr. Yamamoto asked me to bring to you."
Zetian nodded, put it away, then took out a pen from his pocket, wrote down the names on the list, and asked: "Is this okay?"
"yes."
Sawada Shigeru looked at the men behind him and said: "Let's move it, Okushima-kun, you personally lead people to move these boxes to my car."
"Hai." Okushima responded, waved his hand, and a dozen military policemen walked in from outside. The two of them picked up a box and walked out.
"Your Excellency, please read the letter now." Goto said respectfully to Sawada,
Sawada frowned, took out the letter from Yamamoto, glanced at it first, and then his expression became serious. Halfway through, he glanced at Goto suspiciously, after reading it, he folded the letter and faced it. Goto said: "Well, from now on, you can follow me. You have to leave half of us behind."
"Yes, others will be responsible for the escort and will return with the ship."
"That's it. When you return to Changjiang, you will make a list of the people who will stay and give it to Chief of Staff Okushima. He will arrange your food and accommodation."
"Hai."
Qiongnan said it was occupied by the Osaka Division. In fact, the real controller is still the cadet army. Both parties knew this. Therefore, Sawada Shigeru strictly enforced military orders and ordered everyone in the division not to wait. "Disturbing the people", and the Japs of the Osaka Division have implemented this military discipline very well and appear to be very honest. They dare not go to other places except for a few fixed areas. Of course, this is on the surface. As for How many Japanese soldiers secretly use weapons, equipment and even money to buy food from "locals" and even do small business? This is beyond Zetian's control.
The cadets of the Unity Brigade were able to monitor all the movements of the Osaka Division and the outside world by monitoring its power. Therefore, while Ichikawa and his men were waiting for the return of Kuroda and others at Yasho Port, the cadets of the Unity Brigade were also ordered to quietly dispatch. Lurking in the area around Hachisho Port, he began to monitor the movements of the Japanese army.
The armed merchant ship docked, Ichikawa came to greet him, and Sawada Shigeru came to Hachisho Port in person. All of this could not escape the surveillance of the Unity Brigade soldiers. When Okushima led a dozen Japanese soldiers and carried five boxes towards Sawada Shigeru While getting into the car, behind a seaside reef about 300 meters away from the Hachisho Port Pier, several cadets from the Unity Brigade were chatting quietly. One of the cadets with the rank of sergeant said: "Blue Team, we Do you want to act like a robber? I'm sure that the box contains valuables."
The blue team member was a young man under thirty years old. He had the rank of captain. Hearing this, he said: "Don't act rashly. You have no memory of what Wang Luzuo said when we set off."
The sergeant touched his nose: "I just feel it's a pity..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a silencing gesture from the blue team. The blue team said: "Everyone, lie down. There are masters among the Japanese who disembarked later." As he spoke, he put down the telescope and put it down. He hid his body close to the rocks,
The sergeant and others did not dare to move. Ten minutes later, when the sound of an engine was heard in the distance, the blue team took a look and said, "Ma Lei is next door, I'm afraid this is not an easy matter."
Sergeant: "Blue team, what's wrong? What a master."
The blue team gritted his teeth and was immersed in his own thoughts. After a while, he said: "These Japs are not simple. This matter must be reported to the brigade immediately. If the Japs use this method to exchange blood, it will not be a good thing for us." "
The sergeant and others did not understand, but the blue team obviously had no intention of asking for their opinions. Under his command, everyone continued to lurk, waiting for Shigeru Sawada and the armed merchant ship to leave, and waited for another half an hour. Then they left, and by this time, it was already evening,
That night, around eleven o'clock, Shan Renxiong listened to Wang Changlong's report and learned that the batch of electronic components had indeed been transported away by the Japanese. He also heard that the Osaka Division had received fresh blood. He couldn't help but think: It's not like the Japanese were aware that they were sending someone else to take over the Osaka Division, or as Lan Dahai speculated, the Japanese wanted to change the Osaka Division step by step through this small-scale exchange of blood. He and After a discussion between Chief of Staff Huang Ye and Deputy Commander Chang Geng, they could not make up their minds and reported this discovery to Ouyang Yun.
