Chapter 632: Hanks' Plan
June 25, 1950 was a very important day in Japan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because on the same day, MacArthur, commander-in-chief of US forces in Japan, announced that he would intervene in the Korean and North Korean wars, and also placed the logistics procurement and storage place in Japan as the general rear of the US military war against Korea.
The news immediately gave a breath of life to the dead country, especially when some small factories that were struggling to maintain were able to recruit a large number of workers in society because of large orders for supplies, and the atmosphere in the country became more lively, and the people of the whole country were rejoicing at the coming turnaround.
At this moment of national celebration, of course, Ji Shang's sincerity will not be pulled down.
In this large-scale purchase by the U.S. military, the food processing factories under the Sakura Group under Ike Sho Makoi also received large orders with the good reputation of the products (Hanks helped operate). Canned food, instant noodles, ham sausages, biscuits, drinks, and a series of other foods are required by the U.S. military produced by cherry blossoms.
Although so many orders have brought a lot of profits to Chi Shangzhenyi, they have also brought him some small troubles.
In the castle tower, Hanks said in a swarty tone: "Ji Shang, I didn't say you, your face has been so ugly lately, is it because there are too many women to deal with it?"
"If so, tell me, don't worry, we're all old friends, I won't laugh at you, we're all men, and it's inevitable that we can't do it anymore. ”
As he spoke, Hanks suddenly leaned his head forward and said in a low voice: "I have a good thing in my hand, which was brought to me by a subordinate from India to honor me, it is a very magical oil, and after using it, it can make a man extremely powerful." ”
"And there is also a continuous enhancement effect, I have used it several times now, and I feel that the ability is much more robbed than before, do you want to come a little too." ”
Looking at Hanks's obscene appearance, Chi Shang Zhenyi had to sigh in his heart that this guy had the potential to be a turtle male.
Unwilling to have too much to do with this guy on a certain divine oil, Chi Shang said directly: "Hanks, are you here today to introduce me to the divine oil? If that's the case, I can only tell you to run for nothing." I don't need that kind of thing, I'm just twenty years old and I'm very strong. ”
After the words fell, seeing that the other party looked at him with strange and suspicious eyes, Chi Shang Zhenyi resisted the urge to make a move, glared at the other party fiercely, and then lowered his head to make tea and ignored this foreigner who was full of dirty thoughts.
Confirming that Ji Shang's true intentions really didn't need the divine oil that he kindly recommended, Hanks had an expression on his face, 'You said it yourself, don't blame me if you regret it later', and then said, "Old friend, I came here to ask you for help this time." ”
Chi Shang Zhenyi, who was lowering his head and slowly making tea, heard Hank's words, raised the corner of his eyes slightly, glanced at the other party and said: "Is there anything that needs your help from the US military in Japan, if I remember correctly, it seems that you should have the final say in logistics." ”
"There are so many GIs under your hands, who will cause you trouble, don't joke with me. After speaking, Ji Shang sincerely handed Hanks a cup of brewed tea, and then picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Taking the teacup handed over by Ji Shang Zhenyi, Hanks didn't care whether it was hot or not, he directly tilted his neck and poured it into his mouth, and then immediately showed a 'cooked' expression on his face.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and spit out a breath of hot air and said: "It is refreshing to drink tea like this, and the whole body is steaming." ”
After a digression, Hanks changed the topic and returned to the previous question: "Old friend, what you said is indeed right, I am indeed in charge of all the materials in the rear now, and all the rear personnel are under my management, and I have a lot of people in my hands." ”
"But it's because I'm in charge of too many things that I'm more likely to make mistakes. ”
"Now I don't want to say anything else, but there are indescribable troubles every day in terms of materials, either there is a problem with this warehouse, or the transportation can't keep up, or there is a mistake in the number of supplies. ”
Hearing Hanks talk about some of his suffering, Chi Shang genuinely interjected: "What? Do you still want me to help you take care of the warehouse, drive the transport truck, and count the materials?"
Knowing that Chi Shang really meant to make fun of himself, Hanks immediately followed with a thirsty expression, and then returned to seriousness: "Where do I dare to use a character like Chi Shang to do those little things, those little things will naturally be done by the people below, I am here today to ask Chi Shang for your help in getting rid of some hungry wolves hidden in the dark." ”
Chi Shang Zhenyi, who was pouring tea for himself, heard Hanks's words, and the movements in his hand paused for a moment, and then resumed.
While pouring tea, he said: "Hungry wolf, who is so bold as to dare to trouble you, the major general, don't you really want to live?"
"Do you still need my help with this, did you directly send troops to suppress it and it will be over soon. ”
"Well, if I could catch the guys who are hidden, of course I'll shoot them all, but I can't catch them. Hanks said helplessly.
"Moreover, those guys are not so easy to catch, not to mention that they are cunning like wild wolves, and they all have powerful spells. ”
"With those spells, those cunning guys have ruined two supply ships bound for South Korea. ”
"Needless to say, the two ships lost supplies, mainly because the casualties were somewhat large, and a total of more than 30 people died in the sea. ”
"Yesterday, Commander Mack sent a telegram to the forward South Korean base to criticize me for this, telling me that if something like this happens again within this month, I will be asked to go to the front line to command the operation. ”
At this point, Hanks's voice was already tinged with a hint of sadness, as if he thought of being unfortunate enough to be hit by the enemy in the kind of battlefield where he went to the front line.
Cleaning up the sadness in his heart, Hanks continued: "Old friend, now I have no choice, the commander has already given me a post, if something happens again this month, I will really have to go to the front line to carry a gun." ”
"As a good friend, you don't want to see your friend honeycomb by enemy bullets. ”
If you could, Ji Shang really wanted to say, 'You should go to the front line'.
People will always make a few teasing, cheating, and bitter friends in their lives, and for Chi Shang Zhenyi, Hanks is a friend who is a little teasing and a little pit, but people are not bad.
Seeing that this guy is always so selfless to help himself in normal times, Chi Shang's true intentions are really not good-looking, this thing was sent to the battlefield to carry a gun.
With Ji Shang's sincere understanding of the cold-blooded commander, since the other party can send such a telegram, he will definitely do such a thing. As long as Hanks really has another accident within this month, he will definitely not be able to escape.
"I've lost to you, let's say, how are you going to let me help?" Drinking the tea from the teacup, Chi Shang said with a formal expression.
Seeing that his sad narrative finally touched his friend's iron heart, Hanks's expression immediately changed, and he changed back to his previous unbeaten expression and said: "I planned Ji Shang like this, three days later, this month, there will be the last batch of supplies to depart from the temporary military port of Nagato City, cross the Tsushima Strait, and arrive in Busan, South Korea. ”
(During the Korean War [1950-1953], Busan was the only official port for the United Nations to deliver equipment and supplies to South Korea.) )
(At that time, in order to protect the only lifeline in Hou, the United Nations deliberately spent a lot of money to build a large number of fortifications and facilities around the city and along the coast to prevent a sneak attack by the North Korean army.) )
(From this, it can be imagined that the small stick army led by Syngman Rhee at that time was beaten by the big fat army, and it can almost be said that it was about to collapse.) In less than a month, Jin Dapang asked his American father for help. )
(At the same time, in addition to being the only port for the transportation of goods, Busan is also the city that receives the most refugees returning from overseas [mainly from the northeast of China].) )
"According to my intelligence, those guys should be going to do it again this time, and it seems that they are planning to hijack our ship and take this opportunity to invade Busan and do some sabotage. ”
"So I'm going to ask Chi Shang for your help in pressing the boat once, hiding in the fleet, and killing them all when they appear. ”
"After the deed is completed, I will definitely ask Commander Mike for you Chi Shang, and then take this opportunity to set up your Sakura Group as a special supply enterprise for the US military in Japan. ”
"What do you think of my plan?" After speaking, Hanks looked at Ji Shang and waited for his reply.
"It's up to you, since I've already promised you, it's up to you to decide. "Chi Shang really doesn't care.
"Okay, then it's ordered, with Chi Shang, you come forward to help, this time I will not only deliver the materials safely, but also set up a part-time job, hahaha~~~"
Looking at Hanks, who was guilty of teasing symptoms again, Ji Shang Zhenyi secretly said helplessly in his heart: "It's hopeless." ’
On July 28, 1950, the weather was fine.
Originally, the port of Nagato City was just an ordinary civilian port, and most of the ships such as fishing and cargo ships were usually docked.
But since it was requisitioned by the U.S. military a month ago, the port has changed dramatically. In less than half a month, the port, which could only accommodate a few small ships, was expanded into a paramilitary port by the US military.
Every day, several ships depart here to deliver supplies to the South Korean city of Busan, which is opposite the Tsushima Strait.
At this time, the port of Nagato was again full of people, because there was a destroyer soon, two freighters were about to depart, and a group of soldiers who were ready to go had already begun to board the ship one after another.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the soldier is not eating less in the morning, speed up a little, hurry up and get on the boat to make up for the meal. ”
"You, hurry up for me, I'll pull your skin if I delay the boat, lazy, more rubbish than a yellow-skinned monkey, and roll to the front to wipe the deck after a while. ”
Inside the bridge of the destroyer, Chi Shang Zhenyi looked through the window at the white officer's words about the difference between the two soldiers, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "There are no classes everywhere, and the United States of America that everyone yearns for is just a coat of equality, and it is still a white man's world inside." ’
"Mr. Ji Shang, the ship will leave immediately, Xia Guan should have asked just now, this destroyer will take care of two cargo ships, so it will take about three and a half to four hours to reach Pusan on the opposite side. ”
As Hanks's cronies and guards, Shuke was sent to be Ji Shang Zhenyi's deputy this time, and everything was under Ji Shang Zhenyi, so he was particularly respectful.
After listening to Shu Ke's words, Chi Shang nodded sincerely and said: "Four hours, it's not a long time, I should be able to go back after noon, and I can come back by myself when I go back, and I won't take your boat." ”
"Take advantage of this time to take me around the ship, I haven't seen your U.S. warship in a good way. ”
Shu Ke, who had already been instructed by his Major General, naturally understood that he had to listen to this Lord on this trip.
Now that the Lord is interested in seeing their warship, of course he should take it with him.
As for whether this kind of behavior of bringing outsiders on board to see the military restricted area will violate anything, Shu Ke didn't think about it at all. For him, the orders of the Major General-Adults were above all else.
Moreover, he also knows a little about this Mr. Chi Shang, he has seen the other party's weird and terrifying methods, and on the day of the other party's wedding, he also gained a lot of benefits.
To be able to serve such a special person, Shuck feels that it is his luck.
Because he was from the army, Shuke didn't know much about ships. However, none of these things are difficult to solve.
"Major Benson, could you please introduce Mr. Chi Shang to this ship?" Shuk said to a young officer in the bridge room.
Shuck called Benson's major, and he was already dissatisfied with him as the captain of a ship. Someone had not passed through it to allow an outsider to be brought on board, even if this outsider was ordered by the Major General, he was a little unhappy.
Especially when this outsider is still an inferior Japanese, Benson is even more dissatisfied in his heart.
How could his 'Flying Bird' carry an inferior Japanese monkey, it really annoyed him.
Although he was annoyed and dissatisfied in his heart, Benson didn't say anything because of the major general's hot and rare face, just as if he couldn't see such a person as the other party.
But now that the commander of the guard company of the Major General actually let himself, the captain of a ship, a dignified major officer of the United States of America, introduce a Japanese monkey as a tour guide, which is not something that Benson can endure.
Especially this inferior Japanese monkey still wants to see his own 'Flying Bird', which is even more impossible.
Although the anger in his heart was very big, Benson still suppressed the anger and said to Shuke: "I'm sorry Captain Shuke, I can't agree to your request, my identity is the captain and not the tour guide, the task of my trip is very important, I must ensure that the supplies can be safely delivered to the port of Busan." ”
Speaking of this, Major Benson glanced contemptuously at Chi Shang, who was standing beside Shuke, and said: "And the 'Flying Bird' belongs to the new Keeling-class destroyer, and its own secrecy level is B-class, this time I have violated the law by bringing a person who is not my own country to the ship on the order of the Rear Admiral, and now I can't violate the law anymore." ”
"So this one, Mr. 'Japan', should honestly rest in the cabin lounge. ”
(The Keeling-class destroyer is a copy of the Alan Sumner-class, which is slightly larger in size.) The destroyers were produced by the United States between 1945 and 1949, and a total of 105 destroyers were built, 42 of which were completed before the end of World War II, but it was too late to show their skills in the Pacific theater, and they only passed by a few times during the Korean War. )
(In addition, more than 50 ships have been canceled.) After the end of World War II, a large part of the ships were reclassified as DDE, DDK, DDR and EDD, and the USS Kiat was changed to DDG, becoming the first guided missile destroyer in the United States. In the 60s, quite a few of the "Keeling" class were modified with FRAMI/II, and it was not until the early 80s that they were decommissioned. )
(A large part of the Keeling-class destroyers were transferred to the navies of other countries at a 'cheap' price by the U.S. military, and a space power like the 'Stick' once bought this destroyer with good performance.) Even in the current era, this 'powerful' destroyer is still active in the navies of individual countries, such as the magical 'Ah San' country. )
