Another advantage of choosing Coca-Cola is that you can control the raw materials and sales, and the most important thing for Coca-Cola is the 0.31% Coke juice, which is not something that they Japanese can buy; In addition, Coca-Cola is mainly aimed at the US military stationed in Japan, and only its own identity as an American can sell it to supply houses. The supply of raw materials and the sales market are in his own hands, and he has nothing to worry about in other links. In addition, with his own family as the backing, he does not have to worry about the US military stealing business with him.

After thinking about it, Tang Ning let go of the manservant Mitsuhiko and said, "This way, if these guys can still move, you take them to my place, I will meet them, if it is really like what you said, I can consider helping them." ”

That night, Mitsuhiko brought Higashino, Akakawa, and Shimada over, and sure enough, as Mitsuhiko said before, the knife wounds on their bodies were obvious, but fortunately, they were not fatal, Tang Ning took a brief look and didn't say anything, just asked Han Xuewei to help them deal with the wounds, and then returned to the study.

Finally, these guys were not stupid, and as soon as the wound was bandaged, they struggled to come to the study, and as soon as they entered the door, they bowed to Tang Ning, and said in unison: "Thank you, Captain, for saving your life!" ”

Tang Ning raised his hand with a serious expression and said: "Get up, this is just a gesture, not a life-saving grace, although your injuries look scary, but in fact there is no life-threatening concern, I came to you just to see if what Mitsuhiko said is the truth." ”

Tang Ning's words somewhat surprised a few people, they originally thought that Tang Ning wanted to recruit a few of them to do some secret things, they were very excited about this, to have the opportunity to rely on an American officer is much stronger than following the underworld gang of the Uda Group or the Matsuda Group, but now listening to Tang Ning's words does not seem to have the intention of soliciting, several people glanced at each other, among them, the most knowledgeable Higashino took half a step forward, bowed down and said: "Brother Guangyan's reckless behavior this time is because of the injuries of several of us, Please don't blame him, Captain, he really wants to serve under you, please give him another chance. ”

Tang Ning smiled faintly and said, "Hehe, give him a chance to serve, then do you want to have such a chance?" ”

Dongye's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "I am willing to serve the adults, and I hope the adults will be fulfilled!" ”

Tang Ning was unmoved, and still said lightly: "I only look at two points when I accept people, one is loyalty, and the other is ability, I don't know which point you have?" ”

Higashino hesitated for a moment and replied: "My lord, the warriors of our Yamato nation all believe in the spirit of bushido, you don't have to worry about loyalty, as for ability, I don't know what you want us to do?" ”

Tang Ning smiled coldly and said, "Hehe, bushido spirit? I've heard of this, but I haven't seen it, so I'm not going to comment on it for now. As for your mission, Higashino, let me ask you first, if I were to recruit workers with a monthly salary of 600 yen, how many people would come? ”

Higashino replied without hesitation: "My lord, you have such a generous treatment, I think there will be countless people who will apply for the job by then." ”

Tang Ning nodded: "Well, I guess it's the same, after all, it is said that even members of your country's royal family can only withdraw 500 yen from the bank every month, and my salary of 600 yen here is high enough, but how can I ensure that these workers will work hard?" ”

Higashino thought for a moment and said: "Actually, managing the Japanese is very simple, the Japanese are very strict with the rules and regulations, as long as you make the management system in detail, work hard \ achieve performance, you will rise steadily or get a clear reward, if you don't work hard, you will be severely punished, so that no one will be disobedient." In fact, everyone is poor like this now, as long as the salary you pay them can feed the whole family, it is enough for them to work hard. ”

Tang Ning praised Higashino: "Higashino-kun is right, he really deserves to be a top student at the University of Tokyo." Then he looked at Shimada and asked, "Shimada-kun, Akakawa-kun, if I want to recruit a batch of junior officers and soldiers who have returned to work as the law enforcement team and security team of the factory, can you recruit the people I want?" ”

After Shimada let out a loud "hai", he replied, "Don't worry, my lord, as long as you give you the treatment you just given, I promise that you can recruit as many people as you want, and their loyalty and ability will be in charge of me and Akakawa-kun." ”

Tang Ning asked meaningfully: "Shimada-kun, do you think they will be loyal to an American like me?" ”

Shimada smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, the current country of Japan, being able to survive is the most important thing, as for who to be loyal to is not so important, I used to be so loyal to the emperor and his old man, but what is the result?" He was injured and sick, his family was ruined, he was hungry, and he was looked down upon. ”

Seeing that Shimada was getting more and more confused, Higashino hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "Actually, we people at the bottom have no sense of rejection for American friends like you, adults, long before you arrived, that is, in 1943, Japan had collapsed, at that time everyone ate about the same as now, although they could barely eat enough, but many times what they ate was not rice, frogs and grasshoppers had to eat, otherwise they would have to go hungry." And like Shimada, their officers and soldiers on the front line are the same, the military ration is getting smaller and smaller year by year, and in the end, the thin ones are almost unable to hold guns. ”

Seeing that Tangning's expression softened, Higashino continued: "In fact, the one we Japanese hate the most is the Chinese and the Soviets, they don't deserve to own such a large land. It is said that there were nearly 30 billion yen of military funds and nearly 100 billion yen of military supplies used to rebuild and maintain people's living standards after the war, but these money and materials have mysteriously evaporated, and no one knows where they are going, and no one dares to investigate their whereabouts.

But now it seems that the answer to this question is simple, because they are all on the black market. If rice, sweet potatoes, and seafood were bought from the countryside, and kimonos, watches, and jewelry were bought from the once wealthy who were eager to exchange money for food, then where did industrial goods such as coal, gasoline, cement, flat glass, chemicals, rubber tires, paint, and paper come from? Can this be bought in tons and tons? Even if it is collected, it may still be brand new? Then there is no other possibility, these materials originally belonged to all the Japanese, but they were used by those high-level for personal gain!

Is there any irony that the black market is thriving in Japan's economy and life is struggling, there are many people who don't have enough to eat, there is a constant shortage of supplies, inflation is out of control, and industrial reconstruction is sluggish. How can such a government and such a country give me the confidence to protect him? ”
