Chapter 69: Osaka People Who Know How to Do Business (Please Read)
Murakuchi Saburo frowned as he listened to Kiyozumi Muichi's words.
"Mr. Qingquan, chromium is not easy to sell. Have you found any metals like silver?"
Qingquan Muyi shook his head, then smiled mysteriously and said, "We didn't find any silver, but we found a secret gold mine under the mine!"
When Murakuchi Saburo heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Yoshi, Qingquan-kun, the warriors I brought here are all warriors from Osaka. Do they need to be replaced?"
“No, no, I have a team of warriors from Osaka.
Now they are specifically responsible for watching the prisoners of war mining the gold, and they are also responsible for refining it. "
"Murakou-kun, I'm worried about how to get the gold out. I'm in the garrison and I can't move without orders.
There are no Eighth Route Army or Shanxi-Suiyuan Army nearby, so it’s hard to sell it.”
Qingquan Muyi looked at Murakuchi Saburo with joy in his eyes.
Because the gold is secretly dug out from the mine, if the source of the gold is not handled properly, then this gold cannot be used at all.
Otherwise, the gendarmerie might accidentally dig out the gold under the mine, and in the end not only would all the gold be confiscated, but the person would also be punished.
"Now is the perfect time for you to come. When you leave tomorrow morning, take those things with you and sell them. Then we'll split the profits fifty-fifty."
"No, no, no, Qingquan-kun, I need a little more, sixty percent."
"What's wrong?
Is Murakuchi-kun in any trouble?"
“No, the head of the logistics department of Xianchi County is also a greedy guy.
I plan to bribe him and see if I can get some scrapped weapons and equipment."
“No, no, no, Murakuchi-kun, I have scrapped weapons and equipment here, as long as you have a way.
I can arrange for the warriors to take the Locust Army out tomorrow. Then our warriors will bring back a batch of scrapped equipment."
“However, we still have to find a way to get that minister onto our ship, the division commander once said.
The more people there are on the boat, the more people who don’t want the boat to sink, and the more people who dare not let the boat sink! "
"Yoshi, it seems that Qingquan-kun has learned the essence of the division commander."
"Well, then, Murakuchi-kun, I'll go get ready first."
“Well, Qingquan-kun, where is the kitchen?
I will prepare tonight's meal myself."
……
After Qin Yangming led his troops to Chiyang Town, he quickly unfolded the map drawn by Duan Peng.
"There is only one stronghold where a small group of Japanese soldiers are stationed in Chiyang Town. The rest of the Japanese soldiers are all inside the mine."
"The first platoon will be responsible for keeping an eye on the road in the direction of Xianchi County, the second platoon will be responsible for attacking this Japanese stronghold, and the third, fourth, fifth and assault platoons will follow me to attack the Japanese mine!"
"If the Japanese reinforcements arrive, one platoon can hold them off for at least an hour."
"The second platoon must end the battle within half an hour and ensure that the Japanese in the stronghold will not interfere with our operations."
"How's it going? Any questions?"
"Captain, no problem. I promise we won't let the Japs come to support us!"
"Captain, don't worry, we can take over the stronghold in ten minutes!"
"Well, get ready. Everyone take a half-hour break."
"Yes!"
……
Half an hour passed quickly and the soldiers' strength was mostly restored.
"Check the clock. You have ten minutes to get to the designated location. After ten minutes, I will launch the attack. Second Platoon Leader, if the Japanese inside the stronghold don't come out, then forcefully attack!
We will definitely be transporting the ore by truck.”
"Yes!"
Qin Yangming led the rest of the troops and quickly rushed to the outside of the mine.
According to Duan Peng, the mine did not send out any patrol teams, so the assault platoon had no way to sneak into the mine in disguise.
Therefore, Qin Yangming decided to take his troops to forcibly attack the mine.
"I hope the prisoners in the mine will hear the noise outside and start to panic. This will make it easier to attack the mine."
"Fire!"
Qin Yangming looked at the time and then ordered his troops to open fire quickly.
Li Erhu was the first to load a shell into the barrel of a Type 94 mountain cannon, blowing up a Japanese bunker.
……
In the office inside the mine.
Kiyozumi Muichi and Murakuchi Saburo were drinking and talking about their hometown.
The sudden sound of artillery interrupted their conversation.
"Baga, what's going on!" A guard quickly entered the room: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army is attacking the mine, and they are carrying heavy weapons!"
"I heard the sound, fight back!"
"Bridge bean sack."
The village head seemed to have thought of something and spoke quickly.
"How many people are there in the Eighth Route Army?"
"According to the report from the Locust Army ahead, there seem to be more than a thousand people and four mountain cannons!"
"So many? Qingquan-kun, this is the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"
Qingquan Muyi was a little confused, and then he looked at Murakuchi Saburo who was winking at him.
"Muraguchi-kun, this is my cousin, don't worry."
"Mr. Qingquan, do you think we can stop the main force of the Eighth Route Army?"
"Of course... no?"
"What advice do you have for me, Murakuchi-kun?"
"Qingquan-kun, isn't there a team sent in from above to monitor us?"
"Qingquan-kun, look at this. Qingquan-kun was originally patrolling outside with a small team, and wanted to check if there were any loopholes in the defense."
“But the main force of the Eighth Route Army suddenly attacked the mine in Chiyang Town.
The squad leader in charge of defending the mine made a mistake in command, which resulted in the death of all the members of the squad.
The Locust Association troops were all captured by the Eighth Route Army, and the prisoners were taken away by the Eighth Route Army."
"Since the Eighth Route Army sent its main force to rescue the prisoners, it must be because there were important people among them, but they accidentally discovered the mine."
Qingquan Muyi listened to what Murakuchi Saburo said and understood what he wanted to say next, so he continued with what he said.
"So the Eighth Route Army took away all the ore we had mined, including gold."
"Hahaha, not only that, the Eighth Route Army also used a large number of bombs to destroy the mine!"
"But Murakuchi-kun, if we abandon our defenses and go out into the wild, we may not be a match for the Eighth Route Army. What if?"
"No, no, no, Qingquan-kun, I know the Eighth Route Army better. They are very honest. In order to show our sincerity, I decided to go and talk to them in person."
"Nani, Murakuchi-kun, this is too dangerous. I don't agree."
"No, no, no, Mr. Qingquan, there is an old Chinese saying, you can't get a tiger cub without risking it."
"The Eighth Route Army will retreat in one hour at most. The radio station is in our hands. We just need to pretend that we are still fighting.
And if we can wipe out the Eighth Route Army, then we will have at least six hours until the reinforcements arrive at dawn!"
"If we use explosives to mine gold in six hours, how much gold can we get? What do you think?"
"Even if we give this batch of gold to the Eighth Route Army, we can still make a lot of money. Besides, with so much money, the Eighth Route Army will definitely buy things.
In this world, what is more valuable than equipment? Then we will have another way out. "
Qingquan Muyi also swallowed his saliva after listening to the analysis at the entrance of the village.
Before Qingquan Muyi could react, Murakuchi Saburo went out directly.
Qingquanmu's family still has a little money, but Cunkou Saburo's family has very little money.
He joined the army not for the sake of common prosperity. His goal, or that of the people in their entire area, after the war broke out was to make money!
Because their division commander realized very early on that they could not win this war at all!
Rather than losing the war in the end, the country becomes impoverished.
It would be better to make some money for yourself while the country is still of some use, so that you can live a more comfortable life after the defeat.
As for whether it will affect the country, what does that have to do with a small soldier like him?
That is something for the Cabinet to consider.
The goal of them, the people of Osaka, is to make money, make money, and then survive and continue to make money!
With this war, we will turn the tide!
……
"Commander, Commander, there are some Japanese who want to see you!"
Originally Duan Peng was planning to surrender behind the mine, but he never expected that a Japanese soldier in military uniform would sneak out from behind the mine with two guards.
It was naturally impossible for the three people to escape, and the other party soon discovered him and walked towards him with their hands raised.
Then, in Duan Peng's stunned state, he told him that he wanted to see the commander.
Qin Yangming was also a little curious as to why the Japanese wanted to see him.
Persuade?
Impossible, five hundred against one thousand, the advantage is on him.
surrender?
The Japanese's brainwashing with the Bushido spirit is no joke.
