Chen Mingbo agreed to join the Eighth Route Army, which was equivalent to letting Xiao Siming get the key to enter the Taiyuan Arsenal!

That night, after dinner, Xiao Siming and Chen Mingbo had a long talk, talking about the situation of the Anti-Japanese War from family trivial matters and Japan's national conditions, focusing on the organizational structure of the Taiyuan Arsenal, the functions of each factory, the type of equipment, and the purpose.

Xiao Siming is really a master of art and bold, he was not afraid that Yunosuke Yamashita would go to the Japanese Taiyuan secret service to inquire about their roots, nor was he afraid that Yunosuke Yamashita would bring someone to entangle or arrest them again after he returned, so he swaggered and stayed at Chen Mingbo's house.

Chen Ming is knowledgeable about explosives, and after returning from studying abroad, he worked in the smokeless medicine factory of the Taiyuan Arsenal, and is very familiar with the production process of various types of explosives in the Taiyuan Arsenal. As long as there are raw materials for equipment, the production of artillery shells, bullets, grenades, mines, explosives kits can be organized at any time. With him, Xiao Siming's idea of producing ammunition has a technical basis for realization.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Chen Mingbo is here, find a few more skilled workers, and the independent battalion will be able to reload ammunition immediately. All the empty shells produced by the operation have been put to good use, which can greatly improve the sustained combat capability of the independent battalion.

After a long talk, the shock to Chen Mingbo was especially great!

Xiao Siming is only 18 years old, Chen Mingbo is in his thirties, it stands to reason that Chen Mingbo should guide Xiao Siming on the path of life, but things are so strange, 18-year-old Xiao Siming analyzed the situation of the Anti-Japanese War to Chen Mingbo, commented on life choices, and talked eloquently, between words, opened a window for Chen Mingbo, let him see the scenery outside the window, and there was a feeling of enlightenment!

It was this long talk that made Chen Mingbo embark on the revolutionary road from then on and become a loyal expert in the munitions industry of the Eighth Route Army!

The next morning, Xiao Siming asked Chen Mingbo and his family to go out to find and contact people, and strive to gather as many military talents as possible from the former Taiyuan Arsenal scattered in Taiyuan City, take them out of Taiyuan City, and join the Eighth Route Army, lest the little devils use these talents to resume the production of the arsenal and use weapons and ammunition made by the Chinese to fight the Chinese.

Xiao Siming told Chen Mingbo that he only found the most familiar and reliable people he was most familiar with, and he could not reveal the identities of Xiao Siming and the three of them when talking, and brought people home at night, and Xiao Siming personally talked to them.

After Chen Mingbo and his family went out, Xiao Siming, Zhao Changshou, and Chen Desheng also went out and walked around Taiyuan City.

After this turn, Xiao Siming found that the Japanese army was not simple, and it had only been a long time since they occupied Taiyuan, and various shops opened by Japanese residents had already appeared on the streets.

Chen Desheng is also from a red ghost, and he has never eaten bread or cake when he is so big! Xiao Siming bought a piece of bread, a small cake and a glass of milk at a Western-style bakery owned by a Japanese and asked Chen Desheng to open foreign meat.

Chen Desheng followed Xiao Siming to Taiyuan, the task was to protect Xiao Siming's safety, but he didn't expect to be able to taste such delicious cakes, bread, and milk on the way, and his identity changed suddenly, and he can be regarded as a person who has eaten foreign bread and drank foreign milk.

What Zhao Changshou didn't expect was that after eating and drinking, as soon as he left the Japanese bakery, Chen Desheng quietly discussed with Xiao Siming whether to find a chalk to mark the wall of the bakery, and when the troops entered Taiyuan City, he would take the guard platoon to seize all the bread, cakes, and milk in this bakery and transport them back for the wounded to eat!

That's a bit of a spoiler!

When he went to a Japanese-owned barber shop, Xiao Siming walked in with Chen Desheng and Zhao Changshou.

There were four young Japanese girls in the barber shop, dressed in kimonos, dressed in fancy clothes, and when they saw Xiao Siming and the three of them entering the shop, they all bent down and saluted, and they actually said welcome in Chinese!

Each company of the independent battalion has soldiers who specialize in haircuts, and Xiao Siming's hair is not long, and I don't know what Xiao Siming thinks, so he actually entered the Japanese barbershop!

The same barber shop, the barber shop opened by the locals on the street of Taiyuan is much worse, the Japanese barber shop, spacious and bright, the barber is also a young girl, after a long time, the competitiveness is reflected, I am afraid that the barber shop opened by the local people will slowly close.

Without coming to Taiyuan City for on-the-spot investigation, Xiao Siming did not have the concept of Japanese residents improving their competitiveness through service in his mind. Among the knowledge he learned, the Japanese residents who came to China with the Japanese army were all here to take advantage of the wealth, and he did not expect that they would also do small business on the streets of Chinese cities and win with the quality of service.

After all, Xiao Siming is a soul traveler, and he can speak Japanese, and it didn't take long for him to have a relationship with the little Japanese girl who gave him a haircut.

This time, the little girl told Xiao Siming that her name was Chiyoko, she was from Kanazawa City, and it had been two months since she arrived in Taiyuan. I heard that this barber shop was originally a silk shop of the Chinese people, and the owner ran away with the Chinese army, so the garrison handed over the store to them to operate.

Chiyoko told Xiao Siming that there are now at least 400 Japanese women in Taiyuan City, and in addition to the dependents of those high-ranking military officers and senior managers, the other women are mainly engaged in two kinds of work, one is selling * spring and the other is doing small business. There are two types of sales, one is the comfort women who serve the military and Japanese business managers, and the other is the prostitutes, who serve everyone.

Japanese culture is a deformed culture, laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes. Chiyoko is not very old, she looks good, and she looks very gentle, but when it comes to prostitution and prostitution, there is no trace of shame.

Xiao Siming joked that he didn't know if Japanese prostitutes would accept Chinese like him?

Chiyoko said that it must be received, and it is a matter of making money and being comfortable, why don't prostitutes and girls receive it?

Chiyoko took a card from the workbench with the address of a Japanese brothel, and said that Xiao Siming would take care of it!

Xiao Siming will definitely not take care of Japanese prostitutes, if he really does that, not only will he die of shame, but the discipline of the Eighth Route Army will not spare him!

Chiyoko saw Xiao Siming's brute spirit, seemed to have a lot of money in his pocket, and he could speak Japanese, so the conversation box opened and told Xiao Siming that it was those soldiers, big conglomerates, business managers, and skilled workers who really made a lot of money in China. It is very easy for soldiers to make money, and when they encounter a rich family in China, they break in directly, and the men are killed, and the women are raped first and then killed, and all the money is robbed. Therefore, the people who are getting rich in Japan now are all military families who are fighting in China. Especially those officer families, sent it, completely sent it!

When he said this, Xiao Siming could feel that Chiyoko's breathing was short, and his chest was also rising and falling.

Chiyoko said that the army's policy is the most unfair, and men from Japan can work in coal mines and enterprises in Shanxi Province with a monthly salary of more than 300 yuan, which is equivalent to 10 times the domestic salary. But women don't have this opportunity, so they can only do small business.

Xiao Siming asked Chiyoko, although the barber shop is also a handiwork, but this technology is too ordinary, there are more barbers in China, why do you want to go thousands of miles to Taiyuan, Shanxi, China to open a barber shop?

Chiyoko said that there was no way, Japan has a small land area, a large population, and few employment opportunities, so she can only come to Shina to try her luck. Moreover, it is not up to her to do this, it was the Japanese government that ordered them to come to China, and all the residents were all let by the government, and if they don't come, they can't do it, and they are forced immigrants.

Xiao Siming didn't want to listen to it after listening to it for a while, but Chiyoko's brain was in water, and the noise kept stopping, and it didn't take long for him to tell him about the situation of the Japanese residents in Taiyuan.

Until Xiao Siming got a haircut and went out, Chiyoko also told Xiao Siming that next time she would bring more people to cheer them on in their barber shops!

Coming out of the barbershop, Xiao Siming led Chen Desheng and Zhao Changshou into a Japanese-owned pharmacy.

This pharmacy is probably the largest western pharmacy in Taiyuan City now, with a complete range of medicines.

This time, Xiao Siming told the Japanese shop owner that he was from Beiping and had just been transferred to Taiyuan to work. When passing through the 118th Brigade of the 10th Division of the 118th Division in Yangquan, he found that the 118th Brigade had a particularly large number of wounded soldiers, and the field hospital operating with the 118th Brigade was running low in supplies, so he sent a telegram to his father. Unexpectedly, his father, who was a devout Buddhist, sent a sum of money after receiving the telegram and asked him to purchase medicines and donate them to the 118th Brigade for free.

When the business came to the door, the Japanese boss immediately became interested, introduced that his name was Fujii Otomo, from Kanazawa, and said that it was reported in the newspapers and on the radio that the 118 Brigade lost the battle some time ago, killed a wing commander, there must be many wounded soldiers, and the consumption of medicine must be fast!

Fujii then asked Xiao Siming where he was from and what kind of business his family did!

Xiao Siming said that his family is from Sendai, his father is a professor at Sendai Medical College, and his brother is a surgeon in a hospital in Sendai, which is very famous!

Fujii Otomo will immediately be in awe and ask Xiao Siming what he can do?

Xiao Siming said that if he asked Mr. Fujii to prepare a batch of medicine for him, the quantity should be a little more, and he would pay according to the price.

Fujii Otomo immediately took out the list of drugs in the pharmacy and asked Xiao Siming to look at it and determine which drugs to buy.

Xiao Siming looked at it very seriously, took the pen from Fujii Otomo's hand, and began to sketch it.

After Xiao Siming finished sketching, Fujii Otomo took it and said that the quantity was too large, and the store was not ready now. However, he could go to the field hospital of the Twentieth Division and transfer points from them. It's just that the time is going to be a day late, and it is estimated that the goods will be picked up as soon as tomorrow night!

Xiao Siming said that there is no problem, but it must be handled as soon as possible, saving people is like fighting fires, you can't wait too long!

Fujii Otomo asked Xiao Siming to pay a deposit, preferably in yen.

Xiao Siming asked: Is it okay to settle in gold?

Golden settlement is definitely possible!

Xiao Siming was not ambiguous at all, and directly took out a small yellow croaker knocked from Yunosuke Yamashita from his pocket and slapped it in front of Fujii Otomo.

Fujii Daiyu picked up the small yellow croaker, looked left and right, and bit it with his mouth, only then did he say that the number was too large, one gold bar would not work, at least two!

Xiao Siming took out a small yellow croaker and slapped it in front of Fujii Otomo, the old devil immediately smiled, and said to Xiao Siming, "Yo Xi!" ”

The business was two-sided, and Xiao Siming immediately raised another question, that is, to ask Fujii Daitomo to send the medicine directly to Yangquan by car and hand it over to the 118th Brigade.

As long as you have money, what is not easy to do?

Fujii Otomo agreed, and said that he would settle the payment when the goods were delivered tomorrow night.

Xiao Siming agreed!
