Because he read a joke on the Internet called "The Hilarious History of Italy in World War II" in his previous life, Zhao Jian deliberately went to check some information about Italy, so he has a certain understanding of their second invasion of Ethiopia.

Zhao Jian felt that if he remembered correctly, the war should have officially broken out in October of the 35th year. But it was clear that this "world line" was not the same as the one he was familiar with, and the Italian army moved much earlier.

Since the beginning of the year, Italy has deployed more than 200,000 troops to its colonies on either side of Ethiopia in five months. There are also indications that the Italian royal family has agreed to send two giants to the East African colonies to suppress the Emerald Star in Ethiopia.

Therefore, it is widely speculated that when the two Italian giant gods are in place, it will be the day of their attack!

There was plenty of time, but suddenly it became nervous. Zhao Jian returned to the stall thoughtfully, constantly calculating the risks and pros and cons of this business in his mind, and finally gritted his teeth and prepared to continue. As the so-called "wealth and danger seeking", for tons of gold, there is a value in deciding to fight for it!

Two days later, the Tang-Japan International Friendship Games were "a success? At the end of the exercise, the fleets of the two sides participating in the exercise took off early on the morning of the 4th and rushed to the exercise area. The space fleet's exercises were naturally to be carried out in space, and the location was near the orbit of Mars, which the United States strongly protested, but the voice was ignored by Datang and Japan.

For Zhao Jian, this sports meeting is an opportunity to start the brand, and all the diners who have eaten his food unanimously said that it is good, especially the special luncheon meat they produce, and the navy of Datang and the army present have expressed their intention to order.

Compared to Hormel's luncheon meat from the United States, these luncheon meats have been modified by the chefs of the Great Celestial Empire to become even more delicious. Not only does it maintain the characteristics of cheap and easy-to-preserve luncheon meat, but there are also 8 flavors to choose from. Even the American servicemen who are the least fond of luncheon meat say that this one tastes good!

After following the crowd in the harbor to see off the fleet, Zhao Jian immediately took his people aboard the Pingbo and prepared to set off. One of the great advantages of the assimilated ship is that during the assimilation process, all the flaws on the hull will be automatically repaired, so even if there is no sea trial, it can be put into use immediately.

After Zhao Jian boarded the ship, the little heavenly girl Pingbo ran to him, and then jumped up lightly, jumped on his shoulders and sat down. Although the IQ of this little thing has been weakened, it can still tell who is its big boss, and if it was (acting) Captain Kim Jung-shu, she would have sat on the other party's head a long time ago.

As a complete spaceship, the performance of the flat wave is naturally much stronger than that of an incomplete high-speed freighter. Not long after leaving the port, they increased their speed to 80 knots, and if this speed had been changed to Hengtong, the cabin would have been upside down and flying, but Pingbo had the "gravity control" function that Hengtong did not have, so the cabin was as smooth as if it was stationary. Only by opening the windows to let in the strong wind outside, can they feel the feeling of driving at high speeds.

"At this rate, we'll be in Osaka the morning after tomorrow."

After all, Pingbo was sailing for the first time, and it was also in an "over-standard" state with reduced IQ, so Zhao Jian didn't dare to let her fly right away, but slipped away at sea first, and she and the crew needed a period of adaptation. Two days later, the high-speed Pingbo sailed into Osaka Bay, and there were only a few minor problems during the voyage, and the other one was good.

In August last year, Zhao Jian came to Osaka once. In order to open up new "sources of goods", he set his sights on the prestigious Osaka Fourth Division. And this unit really lived up to expectations, and Zhao Jian easily "hooked up" with them!

The predecessor of the Fourth Division was Osaka Zhentai, and from the beginning of its formation, because of the relationship between the conscription sites, the proportion of merchants among the soldiers was unusually high, so it was also nicknamed the "Merchant Division". As one of Japan's current 17 standing divisions, this unit has a glorious history.

During the Southwest War in Japan, Osaka Zhentai fought extremely tenaciously against the Satsuma samurai. But perhaps the damage in that battle was too great, and the force was basically in a rhythm of fighting to the end. The equipment and personnel are not weak, but the combat style is really unusual in the Japanese Army, which is known for its ferocity and toughness!

The ship docked at the port in the evening, and the night was completely covered and the whole of Osaka was lit up. Zhao Jian only took Liu Qingyang off the boat alone, and the two came to the door of a private house familiar with each other, and then knocked on the door of this house.

"Mr. Ichijo, are you at home?"

After a while, a crack opened in the door, and a middle-aged uncle with slightly bald hair glanced out from the inside. The other party is not tall, but his body is quite strong, and if he shaves off that small piece of beard, it will be like "Huoyun Evil God (Kung Fu Version)" in the world. When the other party saw that it was an "old acquaintance", he immediately opened the door enthusiastically and let Zhao Jian and Liu Qingyang in.

"It's been a long time, Zhao Jun. How have you been lately? ”

"It's not bad thanks to you, this time I came to do business with you again."

"Oh~! That's great, I've been looking forward to your presence for a long time. ”

The Japanese uncle in front of Zhao Jian is called Yi Xiang, and in the era when there was no "Emperor Bar Military God", this name did not have the slightest "urine point". The other party was a logistics officer of the 4th Division in Osaka, with the rank of second lieutenant, in charge of a military warehouse. Last year, Zhao Jian only used one meal and 10,000 yen (note (1)) to buy off this money-greedy guy, and scooped up a lot of "scrapped" products from him.

After entering the other party's house, Zhao Jian only took a casual look and found a lot of military supplies in the house. The other party almost smashed half of the small warehouse into his own house, and even the urinal is a special military product! This person's urine nature can be seen.

"Mr. Ichijo, it seems that you have been doing well lately!"

"Alas! Far from it, it's far from it! Compared to a businessman like you, I'm still far behind! ”

diligently served a cup of tea to Zhao Jian and Liu Qingyang, and asked his wife and a few children to avoid it first. When they were all gone, Liu Qingyun presented the gift that Zhao Jian had ordered to prepare, and accepted it with a smile.

"Haha, that's so embarrassing!"

Although he said that he was embarrassed, he still opened the gift neatly in one hand. The gift was a large box of high-grade toffee, but there was an envelope on top of Bai Huahua's candy cube, and one opened the seal and looked inside, and immediately gasped.

"So much!"

"It's just a deposit, I'll give you another box after the deed is done."

"Zhao Jun, what you want this time is probably not just a grenade, right?"

"Yes, I'm going to shoot this time."

As soon as Zhao Jian's words came out, Yi Xiang's face changed greatly on the spot, and his head shook like a drum.

"No, no! This one is absolutely not going to work! Grenades are good to say, I make false accounts and report a little more to be overdue, and I can fool the past. But there is such a thing as a cannon, each one is numbered. Don't say it's one, I can't afford to take half of it! ”

"Mr. Ichijo, listen to me first! I'm naturally embarrassed to let you get that thing out of the infantry gun, but small arms like grenadiers shouldn't be that difficult, right? And I remember that you have already started to change the eight or nine styles, and the eliminated Taisho ten style really can't get it at all? ”

“……”

The one who fell silent couldn't help but think about the feasibility, they did have a batch of Taisho ten-year grenadiers that had just been replaced in their warehouse. These things are nominally obsolete old equipment, but the people above require them to take good care of these weapons and maintain them regularly. It is more appropriate to say "mothballing" than elimination.

"Zhao Jun, this matter ...... Let me think again. ”

"No problem, but I'll only wait for you for three days."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jian waved his right hand, grabbed the envelope containing the money back like lightning, and then shook it in front of one and stuffed it back into his pocket. From the other party's heart-scratching expression, Zhao Jian can basically be sure that this greedy guy has taken the bait!
