Following the guidance of the communications soldiers, a well-dressed man walked into the office of Nishimura.

The man was dressed in a crisp suit, with a pocket watch in the belt on his chest, and a bright gold chain dragged outside. This life has a single eyebrow, and his face is also very white, and he also has two neat mustaches. Although he is a little blessed, it is not difficult to see that he is a very good-looking person.

Cha Wanji pushed the gold-rimmed glasses that stood on the bridge of his nose with one hand, walked in front of Nishimura and bowed respectfully.

"Captain Nishimura, I think you might need my help now."

Cha Manji is a speculator who is very good at figuring out the hearts of others, and he is very good at dealing with Japanese people with experience in Japan. As soon as the Japanese army entered Lingqiu, Che Wanji took the initiative to make contact with Nishimura.

Of course, this is not to say that he is determined to die for the Japanese. The head of the city changes the banner of the king, and the people in the city naturally have to go with the flow. Their Che family has quite a lot of industries in Lingqiu, and now that the Japanese are here, they naturally want to find a way to have a good relationship with the Japanese, and it just so happens that he Che Wanji has also studied in Japan, so it is natural to cooperate with the Japanese.

With the help of a heart-to-heart acquaintance, Che Manji, who was able to speak fluent Japanese, soon became a smooth spot among the Japanese officers in Lingqiu City. In this way, he is naturally quite well-informed. After his intentional inquiry, he naturally knew that Nishimura's recent life was not very good. The baggage troops passing through Lingqiu have been ambushed repeatedly, and Nishimura has suffered many reprimands from above.

When Che Wanji, who was nimble-minded, learned about this, he felt that this was a godsend for himself. The Japanese do not know the situation of Lingqiu, and the matter of governing Lingqiu will eventually be handed over to the Chinese. As long as he can gain the trust of the Japanese, he believes that his status will definitely not be inferior to Fan Jianwen.

"Che-san, you are worthy of being a good friend of our Great Japanese Empire. We were just talking about you, and you immediately appeared in front of me. Indeed, we have some troubles that we need you to solve for us. ”

"Of course, Lord Nishimura. My Japanese friends' business is my business. It is my duty to help my Japanese friends. ”

Che Manji is quite a person who likes him, and he knows that the Fifth Division is also called the Hiroshima Division, and most of the officers in it are from Hiroshima. Therefore, the Kanto accent, which is very close to the Hiroshima accent, was specially used in order to shorten the distance between Nishimura and Nishio.

His caution was obviously very effective, and Nishimura was very happy after listening to his words.

"Great, Chasang. Come, let's sit down and talk. ”

Nishimura stretched out his hand and made a gesture to invite Cha Wanji to sit, and Cha Wanji hurriedly returned the salute and pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Che Sang, recently our Imperial Japanese Army has been in trouble, and the Eighth Route Army has always harassed the Imperial Army's baggage troops passing through Lingqiu. I'm very distressed about this, after all, we are just guests from outside, and we don't know much about the affairs of Lingqiu. So, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

After speaking, Nishimura stood up very formally and bowed to Che Wanji to express his gratitude.

"Captain, it's normal for friends to help each other. Leave this matter to me, and I will definitely serve the Imperial Army well. It's just that this matter still needs a lot of cooperation from County Magistrate Fan. ”

……

Che Wanji said with a smile that the "Fan County Magistrate" in his mouth was Fan Jianwen, the pseudo county magistrate who had just taken office recently. To put it bluntly, in fact, Che Wanji doesn't look down on a rich man like Fan Jianwen in his heart. This guy doesn't even speak a word of serious Japanese, and all he knows is saying nondescript "Yoxi" and "Wadasiwa" in front of Japanese people all day long, which is simply a clown in his opinion.

It's a pity that although he looks down on Fan Jianwen anymore, he can't deny that Fan Jianwen does dare to bet. When the Japanese army first entered Lingqiu, this grain merchant who started by selling grain made a gesture that no one could have imagined when the Japanese army entered the city, he donated half of the wealth he had accumulated over the years to the Japanese army, and at the same time took out half of the grain in his warehouse.

His gambling psychology won the favor of Nishimura and Nishio at that time, and sure enough, just a few days ago, he finally became the county magistrate of Lingqiu.

At the moment when Fan Jianwen became the county magistrate, Che Wanji knew Fan Jianwen's plan at that time. Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. This was still the case in the former Qing Dynasty, and today, when a gun is the king of grass, it is naturally more convenient for him, the county magistrate appointed by the Japanese, to make money.

I think that as long as the Japanese don't fall, the money he Fan Jianwen invested in will be able to be retrieved in a short time.

After figuring this out, Cha Wanji regretted it in his heart. Obviously, compared to Fan Jianwen, he is proficient in Japanese, but just because he was one step late, he lost this great opportunity. Now even he wants to donate a lot of wealth like Fan Jianwen, but even if he comes up with more money than Fan Jianwen, he can only be second forever.

Now, however, an opportunity lay ahead of him.

Compared with Fan Jianwen, he has an advantage that the other party can never reach. That is, compared with Fan Jianwen, an upstart, their Che family is a real tree with deep roots in Lingqiu. And his talent is much stronger than Fan Jianwen, and he can be said to know Lingqiu well. He believed that as long as Fan Jianwen was willing to cooperate with him, the place of Lingqiu would be their world after all.

……

"That's no problem, you can take my orders directly from Van Sang. Che Sang, I'd like to hear what you can do. ”

Nishimura is not a blind person, and he naturally does not trust Cha Manyoshi unconditionally just because he can speak Japanese.

"Your Excellency Nishimura's request is very reasonable, and of course I can't be unprepared. The number of the Eighth Route Army is not very large, and after such a long time, many people know about the fact that they have a total of more than 1,000 people.

But I would say that although their more than 1,000 people are not many, they are still more than 1,000 people after all. More than 1,000 people eat horses and chew every day, and the consumption is not small. Where did their food supply and all kinds of supplies come from? These can be guessed by the heart. The army of the Eighth Route Army is still very interesting, collecting food from the villages below and paying money to the mud legs.

In other words, as long as we can keep an eye on the mud legs of those villages and keep in touch with the Eighth Route Army, then the area where they flow can also be demarcated. Once we find the hiding place of the Eighth Route Army, what will happen next is still a big problem for the Imperial Army? ”

Che Wanji did not show any timidity in front of Nishimura and Nishio, and sat there talking eloquently, looking like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, as if he was a little Zhuge who was strategizing.

"Yo Xi! Che Sang, you said it very well. I just don't know if you have any specific countermeasures? ”

Nishio's eyes lit up, and when he said this, he already believed that Che Wanji was really capable of helping them deal with the Eighth Route Army.

"Naturally, there are countermeasures, and my proposition is to start with the logistics of this group of Eighth Route Army. Our Che family has nothing in Lingqiu, nothing more than a lot of land and a lot of business. More than 1,000 people bought food or cloth. In the end, they will not be able to completely bypass our car family.

And to say a word of faux pas: the tenant of our Che family reported that this group of Eighth Route Army seemed to have captured a large amount of yen in the previous battle against the imperial army. Now Lingqiu has not opened a bank that can exchange yen, and those mud legs don't dare to accept their yen at all.

If I had tried to contact them with a large amount of supplies, I think the Eighth Route Army would have taken the risk of eating this bait even if they knew that I had calculated it earlier. Once they fall into the trap and come into contact with us, I will definitely find out where they are hiding.

What is the mountain in Lingqiu, which mountain road can be walked, our car family is more familiar than the eight roads after all. As long as we know where they are hiding, we will not be able to escape, and at that time, won't we just let the captain take care of you? ”

Cha Manji's plan made Nishimura and Nishio overjoyed, and they also trusted Cha Manji even more. An invisible net opened in this way, and a huge shadow shrouded towards Regiment 424.
