Chapter Ninety-Nine: Nine Million
Speaking of which, Yamamoto is quite kind, although many of the cookies in the instant food provided have expired, but fortunately, the portion is very large, if the soldiers of the Osaka division are not very picky, it is enough for them to consume for a month. This armed merchant ship only carried more than 3,000 tons of cargo, and it actually carried nearly 2,000 tons of compressed biscuits. When Sawada Shigeru rushed to Hachisho Port very unhappily and personally boarded the ship to inspect the goods, the old devil couldn't help but swallow his saliva in the face of the large packages of compressed biscuits piled up in the cargo hold, and scolded in his heart: "Yamamoto, this bastard, what does he take us for?" Is it called Hanako? ”
In this era, Japan's compressed biscuit manufacturing technology is really not good. However, the soldiers of the Osaka Division were all pampered, otherwise they would not have exchanged military supplies or even weapons for food with the locals. As soon as Sawada Shigeru thought that his soldiers would have to eat compressed biscuits for three meals a day for a month, the acid in his stomach churned and he almost vomited on the spot.
I don't know if it's because of Yamamoto's care, but Goto's words are quite annoying: "General Sawada, this is what all the officers and men of our combined fleet have saved over many years, and I hope that the officers and men of your department will not pay Lang money!" Please! After speaking, the little devil bowed very solemnly, looking like he was dutiful.
The nose was filled with the smell of inferior essences, and Sawada Shigeru wanted to retort: Frugal? It's an inventory that can't be eaten, right? He wanted to slap Goto a few times at once, and then ask him fiercely how dare he be so rude to himself. But thinking that there was still a request for Yamamoto fifty-six, he held back. Reaching out and fanning the front of his nose to fan away the disgusting flavor of compressed biscuits, he said, "Is that all there is to it?" What about the money? ”
"Your Excellency, please follow me!"
In terms of money, Yamamoto didn't play tricks anymore. There are five boxes, and each box is full of yellow and white objects. Sawada Shigeru roughly calculated, the five boxes combined, there were at least five hundred catties of gold and silver. Goto handed Sawada Shigeru a list of the number of compressed biscuits and the amount of the money, and Sawada Shigeru finally showed joy on his face when he saw that the list indicated that five boxes were worth a total of 150 kilograms of gold.
One hundred and fifty kilograms of gold, converted into yen, is 3 million, and when converted into the local school yuan in Hainan, it is 9 million, which is indeed a large amount.
Goto saw the change in Sawada's expression in his eyes, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: He is worthy of being the division commander of the Osaka Division, although he only has one eye left, he will still see Qian Eye. With a silent face, he took out a letter from his personal pocket and handed it to him, saying, "General, this is the letter that His Excellency Yamamoto entrusted me to bring to you. ”
Sawada nodded and put it away. Then he took a pen out of his pocket, wrote his name on the list, and asked, "Is that okay?" ”
"Yes!"
Sawada Shigeru looked at the subordinates behind him and said, "Let it go, Okushima-kun, you will personally bring someone to carry these boxes to my car." ”
"Hay!" Okushima answered, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen gendarmes walked in from outside, and two people walked out with a box in their mouths.
"Your Excellency, please read the letter now," Goto said respectfully to Sawada.
Sawada frowned, took out Yamamoto's letter, glanced at it first, and then his expression became solemn. Halfway through it, he glanced at Goto suspiciously, and after reading it, he folded the letter and said to Goto, "Okay, from now on, you can follow me." Are you going to keep half of the people down? ”
"Yes. Others are to be escorted and will return with the ship. ”
"That's it, when you return to Changjiang, you will make a list of the remaining personnel and hand it to the chief of staff of Okushima, and he will arrange your food and lodging."
"Hay!"
Qiongnan said that it was occupied by the Osaka Division, but in fact, the real controller was still the Cadet Army. Both sides know this. Therefore, Sawada Shigeru was strict with military orders and ordered everyone in the division and regiment not to "disturb the people". And the devils of the Osaka Division have implemented this military discipline very well, and they seem to be very honest, except for a few fixed areas, they don't dare to go to other places at all. Of course, this is on the surface, as for how many devils secretly use weapons and equipment and even money to buy food from the "locals" and even do small business, this is beyond Sawada's control.
The Fifth Army was able to grasp all its movements by monitoring the telecommunications of the Osaka Division and the outside world, so while Ichikawa was leading people to wait for the return of Kuroda and others at Hachisho Port, the first student soldier of the Unity Brigade was also ordered to quietly dispatch and lurk in the area of Hachisho Port to begin to monitor the movements of the Japanese army.
Armed merchant ships docked, Ichikawa greeted him, and Sawada Shigeru personally came to Hachisho Port, all of which could not escape the surveillance of the Unity Brigade trainees. When Okushima walked to Shigeru Sawada's car with a dozen devils carrying five boxes, behind a seaside reef about 300 meters away from the Hachisho Port wharf, several cadets of the Unity Brigade were talking in a whisper, and one of the cadets with the rank of sergeant said, "Blue team, should we pretend to be a robber?" I'm sure that the box was filled with absolutely valuables! ”
The blue team is a young man under the age of thirty, he hung the rank of captain, and when he heard the words, he said: "Don't act rashly, what did Wang Luzuo say when he set off?" You kid don't have any memory?! ”
The sergeant touched his nose: "I just think it's a pity ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a silent gesture from the BLU team, who said, "Get down!" There are masters among the previous batch of devils who disembarked after the ship! As he spoke, he lowered his binoculars and hid himself against the rock.
The sergeant and the others did not dare to move. Ten minutes later, when the sound of the engine came from a distance, the blue team took a look and said, "Ma Lei is next door, I'm afraid this matter is not simple!" ”
Sergeant: "BLU, what's wrong?" What master? ”
The BLU team gritted their teeth and immersed themselves in their thoughts, and after a while he said, "These devils are not simple, and this matter must be reported to the brigade seat quickly." If the devil takes this way to exchange blood, it will not be good for us. ”
The sergeant and the others didn't understand, but the BLU team apparently didn't mean to ask for their opinion. Under his command, the group continued to lurk, waiting for Sawada Shigeru and the armed merchant ship to leave, and waited for another half hour or so before they left. By this time, it was already evening.
That night, at about eleven o'clock, Shan Renxiong listened to Wang Changlong's report, learned that the batch of electronic components had indeed been transported away by the Japanese, and heard that there was fresh blood imported into the Osaka Division, he couldn't help but think: Could it be that the Japanese noticed that someone else was sent to take over the Osaka Division? Or is it true that the Japanese want to change the Osaka Division through such a small-scale exchange of blood, as Blue Sea speculated? After discussing it with Chief of Staff Huang Ye and Deputy Army Commander Chang Geng, he couldn't make up his mind and reported this discovery to Ouyang Yun.
