Chapter 100: The Transformation of Konishi Light II
"Where did you get all that money?" Hikaru Konishi asked in surprise.
Xiaobao tapped his head with his fingers, "You forgot, what did I do before?" His words were vague.
"It turned out to be the money you got when you were a bandit." Konishi was relieved. He was even a little envious of Xiaobao. I think that when Japanese intelligence officers entered the Northeast to carry out activities, many people broke into the bandits, and even a few people became bandit leaders. Hideko Kono's mother, Harue Kono, was ordered to come to the side of the giant bandit Duchichimine.
"It's probably not in a hurry," Konishi shook his head regretfully. Being a comfort woman is not something you want to be.
"Try it, if it doesn't work, give the money to your family so that your mother and other younger siblings can live a little better." Xiaobao said comfortingly to Xiao Xiguang.
Xiaobao, a person who used to be a bandit grain station, wants to slowly pass on his experience to Konishi Guang. It was much easier to manage the pioneer regiment than to be an officer of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.
Xiaobao's smile became more intimate when he thought of this.
"The money you spent on travel, accommodation and food when you came to Harbin shouldn't be your own, right?" Xiaobao asked.
"Of course, I'm not doing my own personal business." Because of the change of topic, Konishi's face softened a lot. He wondered why Xiaobao asked such a simple question.
"Then I'll invite you to dinner, and you'll save money for your meal. If you come to stay with me at night, then you will save money for your accommodation. Aren't these all yours? Xiaobao induces Hikaru Konishi.
Konishi understood, and he nodded. What he didn't know was that a light shone through the crack that Xiaobao had opened.
But he's happy now.
The economy of Manchukuo was tightly tied to Japan. The coins of Manchukuo were easily exchanged for Japanese yen. There were even many times in Manchukuo where you could buy things directly in yen.
Hikaru Konishi can convert Xiaobao's money into yen and send it back to Japan to his mother.
Japan is the most powerful country in Asia economically, but Japanese prostitutes are also found throughout Korea, China, and throughout Southeast Asia. Many poor families send their girls abroad to earn money and solve their families' financial difficulties. Those who have children in the military are no exception.
Xiaobao, a bearded man, must not have a good way to get money. Spend his money, don't spend it in vain. Konishiko's stone head also had Xiaobao's idea in his head. It's just that what he doesn't know is that Xiaobao has already started digging a pit for him.
Konishi Guang ate the meal very happily, and soon all kinds of gnawed bones were piled up in front of him like a hill.
Xiaobao had a smile on his face, but he despised Konishi Guang, a Japanese farmer, for being too ugly.
Every time he raised the wine glass, Xiaobao just stuck it on his lips, and Xiaoxi Hikaru raised his head and drank not a drop without persuading him to raise his glass.
In the end, Konishi Mitsu got drunk. All that's left is a mess of the table.
After Xiaobao paid the bill, he took Xiaoxiguang downstairs. He called a rickshaw, and he and the rickshaw driver stuffed Konishi into the cart and headed in the direction of their house.
When he arrived at the door of Longjiang Street, Xiaobao added money to the rickshaw driver and asked the driver to work with him to put Xiaoxi's bare frame into the house and throw it on the bed.
Looking at Xiao Xiguang, who was lying on the bed and sleeping like a pig, Xiaobao sighed and turned upstairs to rest.
Xiao Xiguang woke up once in the middle of the night, found water and poured it to his heart's content, and then went back to sleep.
The next morning, Hikaru Konishi woke up and simply washed his face before going to Toyo Takushoku Co., Ltd. to run errands.
Xiao Bao said that he would accompany Xiao Xiguang together. His reasoning was that he was more familiar with the roads of Harbin than Konishi. And then there's the fact that he still has people he knows at Toyo Takushoku. Maybe it will help Hikaru Konishi.
Xiaobao called a rickshaw for Xiao Xiguang to sit on, and he followed alongside.
Seeing Xiaobao so enthusiastic, Xiao Xiguang was also very moved. He went from being an officer in the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army to a civilian, and almost all of his former friends were cut off. Seeing Xiaobao treat himself like this, he naturally had a different feeling in his heart.
The two of them came to the downstairs of Toyo Takushoku Co., Ltd. at the intersection of Lot Street and Toroage Street. Hikaru Konishi got out of the car and walked into the door with Xiaobao.
Hikaru Konishi dragged one leg straight up to the second floor. He knocked on an office door and walked in.
"Sir, is there anything wrong with you?" Behind the desk, a man in a suit stood up and asked.
"I was here yesterday. I am here to report the information of the pioneer group in the Mudanjiang area. I would also like to ask when the funds allocated by the Ministry of Economy of Manchukuo for the construction of the Pioneer Corps will be available to us. Konishi Hikatsu, a former officer of the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army, asked very humbly standing in front of a company associate today.
The assistant looked at the man who was wearing an old military uniform but did not have any rank markings and was lame, and his heart was very disdainful.
"The money from the Ministry of Economy of Manchukuo has not yet arrived, and we will inform you when it arrives. Besides, the money is used as an advance payment for the food we will buy for your pioneer group in the future. Your information is not enough to prove that you will be able to produce so much food in the future. The associate said.
"We got the land from the peasants of Manchukuo. Those peasants used to produce more food on these lands than we reported. Konishi explained.
"But it takes a lot of manpower to farm. Where is your manpower? As far as I know, the full name of the pioneer regiment is the armed pioneer regiment. There were already few men in the pioneer regiment, and they had to undergo military training. Can you produce a great deal of food just by women and children? The assistant asked Hikaru Konishi.
Konishi was speechless for a while when asked.
Po, who was following behind, couldn't understand the Japanese conversation between Hikaru Konishi and the assistant manager, but he could see Hikaru Konishi's embarrassment and passivity.
"The construction of the Armed Pioneer Corps is related to the long-term interests of the Great Japanese Empire, and cannot be measured by money!" Konishi Hikaru suddenly said strongly.
The assistant was stunned, and he also knew these truths. He just wanted to make things difficult for this unpleasant cripple.
"It is true that the allocation from the Ministry of Economy of Manchukuo has not arrived. If the money arrives, we will send it to you as soon as possible. And keep you informed. The assistant spoke in a much slower tone.
"Without money, we can't do a lot of things. I hope you guys can deal with it soon. Konishi said strongly. That Lieutenant Konishi seems to be back.
"Definitely, definitely," the associate responded.
"A bunch of businessmen who only know money, a bunch of pigs who only know how to make money!" Konishi scolded as he walked out of the office.
Xiaobao followed Xiao Xiguang in confusion. He didn't know if it was done.
