Chapter 461: Okamura Ninji's Journey to the Base Area (2)
"Okay, everyone should have checked it, some people may know the rules of our transaction, and some people may not know, let me tell you, we only recognize Guanghua coupons, not silver dollars, and do not accept barter, of course, you can sell things to us first, or exchange other currencies for our Guanghua coupons, and finally buy our things, we don't accept that Japanese currency, I hope you understand." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" After Captain He finished speaking, he took out a booklet and handed it out, "These are our commodity lists, you can take a look, there is also a price list of the things we purchased, you can also take a look, you can also take it back, keep it for reference." ā
Okamura Ningji opened it and looked at it, the materials purchased inside were varied, from grain and cloth to weapons and ammunition, and so on, the price was more than half higher than the price outside Taihang Mountain, and then turned to the front for sale, but there were only two things, namely white sugar and snow salt, but the price was more than half lower than the outside, Okamura Ningji calculated slightly in his heart, this merchant will earn twice the money back and forth, no wonder these merchants are not afraid of the imperial ban... Is this where the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army come from?
Okamura Ninji did not expect that he could be the source of white sugar and snow salt, he knew that this must be the top secret of the Red Party's Eighth Route Army.
"Okay, if everyone has finished reading it, you can sell goods with our Boss Li first, this is the section chief of our Taihang Mountain Taxation Bureau, he will be responsible for collecting taxes and invoicing everyone, okay, let's start." After Captain He finished speaking, he said a few words to Boss Li and Section Chief Dong, and asked the RB caravan and Boss Li to start trading.
Okamura Ninji naturally knew what his supplies were, and they sold well, he asked the guards to talk to Boss Li, this guard was carefully selected by him, his family was Osaka, he was a peddler before joining the army, but he had never done business himself, and he was afraid of missing a horse when he really talked.
Okamura Ningji walked to the side and looked at the supplies brought by others, but what made him almost stare out was that there were actually a few businessmen with Japanese munitions, as well as a heavy machine gun, and there were four or five boxes of bullets, Boss Li also smiled and praised the businessman for his beautiful job, and encouraged him to make more artillery, and the businessman also patted the **** and said that there was no problem, and it looked extremely harmonious.
Okamura covered his chest, trying not to get angry, and he turned aside with his eyes closed, as if he couldn't see anything. He knew that some troops did sell weapons to the Chinese army, and the weapons could be reported for damage anyway, but he still felt unacceptable when he really saw it, so he shook his head and waited for the deal to end.
night
Okamura Ninji and a group of RB businessmen gathered around to eat, everyone was very happy, most of the people in this business made a lot of money, in a time of war like this, the global economy is in a recession, and there are too few opportunities to make money like this.
Okamura Ningji looked at the food on the table and found that it was all white rice, and the dishes were wild vegetables, bacon, and river fish.
"Maeda-kun, all we earned this time are Guanghua coupons, can't we only exchange them for salt and sugar? Now the sale of salt and sugar outside is very strict, and I am very worried that we will not be able to sell these goods. Okamura Ninji said as he handed it to a businessman beside him.
Maeda laughed, patted Okamura Ninji on the shoulder and said, "That's a Chinese businessman, we're RB businessmen, what's there to be afraid of?" Besides, our salt can be sold to the ZQ government in the south, and the price there is very high, and we can make a lot of difference, and ah... I think that this Guanghua coupon is much stronger than our yen, and if you think about it, how much has our yen depreciated in the past three years? Ay... This war for the Empire..."
"yes, but I'm afraid this glorious coupon won't be used outside, right?" Okamura asked with a smile.
Maeda shook his head and said, "Okamura-kun, you really just came here, let me tell you, the best money in the whole of North China now is two kinds of money - silver dollars and gold, and then there are Guanghua coupons." The money issued by our yen and the Nanjing government cannot be spent at all if it is not forced to buy and sell.. Huh"
Okamura Ninji nodded, expressed relief, and said, "That's good, I think China is also very good, but if it doesn't work, I'll live in China." ā
Maeda pointed at Okamura and smiled, "I see that you don't think China is good, but you think that China's flower girl is good!" ā
Everyone laughed, and Okamura Ninji also smiled and nodded, as if he was right.
The next day, when the caravan was about to leave with sugar and snow salt, Captain He took a small notebook and handed it to Okamura Ninji and said, "Okay, this is our friendly proof, and when the war is over in the future, you can rely on this to avoid trial." ā
"Trial?" Okamura Ningji took the notebook and looked at it strangely, and found that it was written on it as a credit book for Sino-Japanese friendship, and when he opened it, he saw that there was a written expression of his name and external characteristics, and the back page was written about his own transportation of materials to the base area.
Maeda next to him said, "Okamura-kun, you can take it away, and if you encounter a guerrilla of the Eighth Route Army or something in the future, you can take this out, this can protect you from being attacked by those guerrillas, which is very useful." There's no photo of this.,It's all a text description.,In case it's discovered.,You can also say that you've been framed.,This is also their protection for us.,But you see.,This book is numbered.,Only they know which one is true.,Which one is fake.ć ā
Okamura rolled his eyes and asked, "Then can I take this to the location of some of the guerrillas in SD?" You know, SD has a lot of specialties there, such as apples, and the price of apples in China is very high, if I can buy some somewhere, I can make a lot of money then. ā
"Oh? Do you want to go to SD to buy Apple? After Captain He finished handing out the notebook, he heard Okamura's words and said with a smile, "Mr. Okamura, SD also has our Guanghua store, you can go to the Guanghua store to buy our apples." ā
Okamura Ninji asked in surprise, "Can't I go to the farmers and buy it directly?" ā
Captain He scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, the SD base is at the same level as our Taihang base, I just heard about it, and you still have to go to SD to see the specific situation." ā
Okamura Ninji bowed and said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. He..."
- Yamashita
Okamura Ningji slowly took notes, this time he felt that he had gained a lot from going to Taihang Mountain, although he did not go deep into the base area, but he knew the main source of the economy of the Eighth Route Army and the way of trade, this time it was RB's caravan, so how did China's own merchants support the Eighth Route Army? And those peasants... It seems that everyone in the place where all the Eighth Route Army is located can't believe it...
Okamura Ninji stood up, he shook his head and said, "No, there are as many friends as there are enemies of the Chinese Red Party!" The bandits they suppressed, those landlords, and those national armies are all objects that can be absorbed, and using China to control China is the best way to rule the Han people for thousands of years, and our imperial army can also use... Back then, didn't the Qing Dynasty, which destroyed our Ming Dynasty, rely on Wu Sangui's talents to achieve a major event? ā
Okamura Ningci said that I have a reason for the Ming Dynasty, in fact, when China was in turmoil in all dynasties, there were a large number of people who fled to RB Okamura Ningci has always claimed that he is the descendant of the famous general Xu Da of the Ming Dynasty, in the War of Resistance against Japan, there are a large number of such Japanese troops who claim to be descendants of the Han people entered China, and the more famous is the first general affairs chief of the puppet Manchukuo, Komai Tokuzo, he claimed to be a descendant of the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty, and the ancestors of nine generations ago fled to RB in order to avoid the pursuit of the Manchu invasion army and changed their names to settle down. It is ridiculous that he has always claimed to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but he has become the puppet chief of general affairs of Manchukuo.
Okamura Ninji walked out of his study, and the guards outside immediately stood up from their positions and bowed to him, Okamura Ninji nodded and said, "Those goods will be notified to the military headquarters immediately.... No, immediately find a local businessman to deal with it, the price can be a little lower, and then we immediately go to SD Taihang Mountain, the mountains are high and dense, the road is narrow and difficult to walk, and the base here is difficult to enter, but SD is different, let's go over there to have a look. ā
"Hey!"
- SD Qixia
Qixia is known as the "roof of Jiaodong", the main terrain is hilly and mountainous, with the characteristics of "six mountains, one water and three fields". Such a geographical and natural environment is very suitable for growing apples, and of course, it is also very suitable for guerrillas to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains, and this is one of the places where SD guerrillas are most active.
Okamura Ninji was walking on the road in the countryside, and after a while, he saw a bayonet with a blue sky and white sun flag on the bayonet.
The guard next to him was dumbfounded and said, "This... That's too blatant, isn't it? ā
Okamura Ninji shook his head and said, "It's normal, we don't have a single soldier garrison here at all, let's go." ā
The pedestrians on the road are sparse, although there are not many, but there are always businessmen passing by, and there are two entrances to the bayonet, and there are special people to inquire and inspect and issue documents.
It was Okamura Ningji's turn, and the Eighth Route Army, who was inspecting, asked, "Hello two, where are you from?" What for? What do you do when you come to Qixia? ā
Okamura Ninji bent down and said, "In ShimoOkamura Ichiro, he is an RB businessman, and this time he came to our base to prepare for business, this is my ID, passport, and the Sino-Japanese friendship certificate given to me by the Taihang Military Region!" ā
Hearing that it was an RB person, the surrounding passers-by and the Eighth Route Army were a little nervous, and the Eighth Route Army who was inspecting also took a step back, took the document and looked at it, and found that it was newly issued, and couldn't help asking, "Your certificate is new, aren't you in the Taihang base area?" Why do business with us SD? ā
Okamura Ninji hurriedly explained, "It's like this... I made a fortune in the Taihang base, but my home is in RB and I still want to go home and do business, after all, you are at war here... Although this war was brought about by my compatriots, I also regret it. So I'd like to buy some apples from you guys and sell them to RB! ā
The Eighth Route Army nodded and said, "Well, okay, but we're going to check your things, please hand over all your belongings." ā
Okamura Ninji cooperated very well and handed over the contents of the box and the pocket of his clothes, and after inspection, he found that they were all clothes and belongings, and only a pistol, but in this era, it is normal to have one or two short guns for self-defense, so no one is surprised.
"I'm sorry, you can't bring this pistol in, we'll keep it for you, this is a certificate for safekeeping, and when you leave our base, you can exchange this certificate for your weapon. In addition, you are only allowed to stay in the base for another seven days, and you must leave within seven days, otherwise we have the right to suspect that you have ulterior motives, and will arrest you, please take it. As he spoke, the guard took out a card and gave it to Okamura Ninji, stamped with a steel stamp, as well as the date and deadline for leaving. Okamura did not object, and after putting away his gratitude to the guards, he continued to walk towards the base area.
Waiting for Okamura Ninji to leave, the captain of the guard immediately said to the people next to him, "Go and inform the base that two RB merchants have come in, pay attention to the surveillance, but don't get too close." ā
"Yes!"
Okamura Ninji quickly walked to a village, he walked into the village, and saw two teenagers with red tassel guns on the hillside at the entrance of the village, both of them had red scarves tied around their necks, and when he saw Okamura Ninji coming over, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing in our village? ā
Okamura Ninji looked at the children standing guard with guns, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile on his face, "Hello, I'm a businessman and want to buy apples, is your village chief here?" ā
"Your accent is wrong! Who are you? One of the older teenagers approached Okamura Ninji with a gun, and Okamura Ninji hurriedly said, "I'm an RB person, but I'm a good rb person, I'm a businessman, please come out of your village chief, I'll talk to him, I'm really a good person, please believe me." ā
Although he was very suspicious of Okamura Ninji's identity, the older boy still asked the younger one to pass the news, only to see the young one running up the hillside like a monkey, taking out a blue flag, and shaking it at the village, and after a while, a middle-aged man walked out of the village with four or five men, all of whom were armed with weapons, half of which were still broadswords and spears, and even one with a bow and arrow.
When the middle-aged man saw the two teenagers, he exclaimed, "Son, what's the matter?" ā
The young man told the middle-aged man about the matter, and the middle-aged man came over and looked at Okamura Ninji and said, "I'm sorry, we don't do business with the RB people, and only Guanghua Stores will do business with you in the entire base area, so if you want apples, go there and buy them." As he spoke, he prepared to take people back to the village.
Okamura Ninji hurriedly exclaimed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask, how is this year's apple harvest?" I'm afraid I'll be deceived when I go to the county, although I'm an RB person, but I haven't done anything bad, it's the kind you say... International friends! ā
