Chapter 31: I Found a Treasure
"Your name and title." Zhao Zhi took the cigarette handed over by the mercenary next to him and put it in his mouth, and looked coldly at the guy holding the leather bag in front of him, with a round face and a separate head, his body didn't look too weak, and he didn't leave his own unique Ren Danhu, looking at this guy should have a Western-style education, just a few glances, Zhao Zhi's heart had a plan, and there was less coldness between words.
"Noda Yoshiharu, Senior Engineer of the Ministry of Mining of Manchukuo" Noda, who was holding a leather bag, did not dare to look up to stop Zhao Zhi, but lowered his head to control his gaze between his feet, Noda, who is 34 years old this year, is a pure engineer, he doesn't care why he is looking for minerals, for whom he is looking for mines, all he cares about is the sense of accomplishment when he finds the ore vein, Noda, who has studied Chinese Sinology for a few days, often thinks that he is a person who has no desire and is strong, so even in the face of the people in the War Department, he has never lowered his head to speak.
It's just that now, Noda is afraid, he is really afraid, the entire Kwantung Army of a whole squadron will be wiped out within an hour, this is really terrible, the strength of the Kwantung Army, Noda knows, Sasaki's squadron has been responsible for Noda's prospecting operations in the Chinese occupation area, during this period, he has encountered sneak attacks, encirclement and interception by the Chinese army, but every time he was defeated by the Sasaki squadron, and even once the Sasaki squadron only sent an infantry squad to chase after hundreds of Chinese people, It wasn't until all the Chinas were killed that the squad returned to the squadron.
But what happened today, subverted Noda's reverence for the Kwantung Army, a squadron of more than 200 people was wiped out, Noda didn't know that Zhao Zhi in order not to hurt the materials on the truck, issued an early order to avoid truck shooting, if not, I'm afraid Sasaki's squadron was annihilated faster, after the battle started, Noda hid behind a box of instruments with a briefcase full of information, until the end of the battle was pulled out by Yu Dazhi, The whole battle was clearly seen by him through the hole in the tarpaulin, especially when Zhao Zhi single-handedly rushed down the hillside to solve the remaining army, he saw it even more clearly, and in the face of Zhao Zhi's murderous questioning, he was not afraid.
Zhao Zhi was obviously very satisfied with his cooperation, and smiled and flicked the cigarette ash and continued to ask, "There are a few engineers like you, what are the things on the truck, and what is the number of this unit escorting the convoy." Zhao Zhi's question made Noda couldn't help but be shocked, he originally thought that this group of ambushed people just wanted to eliminate Sasaki's squadron, but now it seems that they are simply coming for the things on the truck, and I am afraid that I will not be able to escape this disaster this time.
Noda, who thought about it for a while, happily answered all of Zhao Zhi's questions, and explained everything he could know, but fortunately he didn't think about coaxing Zhao Zhi, otherwise Zhao Zhi immediately sent him back to his hometown with Sasaki, the name of the instrument and equipment that Noda said, Zhao Zhi didn't understand it, it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, anyway, just now Noda also said that this is the latest equipment imported from Germany, and it is the most advanced prospecting equipment in the world today, which can not only find coal mines and some rare minerals, but also explore oil.
It wasn't until the words oil exploration came out of Noda's mouth that Zhao Zhi's face was happy, what is oil, I'm afraid that no one present, including Noda, knows the value it represents better than Zhao Zhi, in the previous life, oil is not only an extremely important strategic material, and with the reduction of oil reserves, those countries with huge amounts of oil can easily indulge the world crude oil price and seek huge benefits from it, the Gulf War, Iraq, and later Iran sanctions are not all for oil, Zhao Zhi really loved this black soft gold to death.
Who dominates the crude oil market, who controls the world's economic lifeline and pattern, I don't know who said this sentence, Zhao Zhi is firmly in mind, now is only the early stage of World War II, the world's dependence on crude oil has only just emerged, those Gulf countries are still mostly colonies, with the footsteps of the German army, the world pattern will be redivided, until the end of World War II, crude oil will be valued as a strategic material by all countries in the world, if Zhao Zhi can get a piece of the pie, it would be great.
Zhao Zhi's mercenary company is still very weak, but it doesn't mean that the mercenary company can't be bigger, the reason why he will actively take the first batch of mercenaries into Shanxi is to show his face in front of the world, only to play the prestige of the mercenary company, the world will accept mercenaries, will accept Zhao Zhi, now is only Zhao Zhi's dormant stage, it is the time to accumulate strength, and when Zhao Zhi really breaks out, it will definitely surprise the eyes of the world.
"Look after them, you can't abuse them, I still have a lot of use" Zhao Zhi handed over Noda to Yu Dazhi to take care of, and the three injured engineers also bandaged their injuries ** to Yu Dazhi, these people will serve Zhao Zhi's mercenary company in the future, although Yu Dazhi doesn't know why Zhao Zhi didn't kill these people, but looking at Zhao Zhi's face is very good, he can't guess what kind of medicine his husband gourd bought, so Suo surnamed honestly took a few mercenaries to watch Noda and them, and they want to eat and water to eat, It didn't make it difficult for Noda and them.
"Strip the corpses and find a place to bury them, and load the things back to Ranzhuang" The mercenaries have searched all the trucks, Zhao Zhisuo surnamed Zhao pointed to a few mercenaries who can drive and drive those intact trucks back to Ranzhuang, the crazy grenade bombardment in front of the army also caused casualties among the mercenaries, two dead and seven wounded, two unlucky eggs were blown up by the grenades falling from the sky, except for a few bloody and smoke-soaked limb fragments in the bunker, no other parts could be found, Zhao Zhi needed to go back to Ranzhuang to treat these injured mercenaries.
Yan Wudao, who was responsible for blocking the front road, and the mercenaries who blocked the back road were all back, and the horses that Sasaki's squadron ran away were also brought back, in addition to nearly 50 horses that were killed, Yan Wudao was a person who passed by, leading a few mercenaries to cut off the legs of those dead horses with long knives and threw them on the truck to bring them back to Ranzhuang to roast meat to make jerky, and the other horses and those bare pigs were dragged away and buried in the wasteland, and then scattered dry soil and stones on the mountain road, and the traces of the battle just now have disappeared without a trace, The bullet casings scattered on the hillside, Zhao Zhi didn't have time to clean up, even if someone picked up the bullet casings, it would be in vain to find the traces of the battlefield and the corpses.
