Chapter 127: Crazy Rice
Wang Yue is a native of Binzhou, and when he was a child, he heard all kinds of stories told by the elders of his family, including the Japanese control over rice, during the war, the common people in the occupied areas were not worthy of eating rice, and anyone who stole rice was a so-called economic prisoner, and the economic prisoner was thrown into prison at least and shot directly at the worst, and some were even executed by the military police on the street because they spit out rice when they were motion sick.
Even if there is an accident, the one who can get these things will not be a good person, do not think that the grain harvest in the forties only affects North China, in fact, Japan's agriculture in recent years is also not bad, in addition to natural factors, a large number of people flow to the military industry is also one of the reasons, in many factories, employees who work overtime at night can only get a bowl of miso soup with only two or three soybeans, the tight food supply can be seen.
As for whether it will increase the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in disguise, there is no need to worry, even if it is impossible to buy rice, the Japanese army will still make up for the gap by looting the occupied areas, even in the final stage of the war, this situation of food shortage is transmitted to the occupied areas, so whether or not to sell grain to the Japanese will not affect the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army too much, the difference is that the Japanese army has looted the occupied areas.
Another major reason for the shortage of food for the Japanese army is the chaotic logistics system and fragile sea transportation lines, which can not be changed by Wang Yue selling some grain, just like in some areas of Southeast Asia, a large amount of grain hoarded by the Japanese army in the later period has become moldy, but not even a single one can be transported back to the mainland. In Japan, there is still a lot of grain in the warehouses of the military and government, but they don't dare to use it easily.
Wait until 1941, the Pacific War is about to break out, let the Japanese eat a little more, they will have the strength to fight with the bald eagle, only a few people died and threw the atomic bomb, really instigated home, a world war, you don't die tens of millions of people, you are embarrassed to say that you participated in the war, some small countries have millions of people, but also millions of young people have died, compared to the loss of the bald eagle is nothing?
A total of 280,000 people died, and the Hans accounted for 180,000, while Japan, as the largest power in Asia, only killed 100,000 people in total, which is not as good as the loss of the national army in a battle in the Chinese battlefield.
Why did Bald Eagle become a superpower after the war, wasn't it because it didn't hurt enough? The useless Japanese have been pressed and beaten for several years, and it is impossible to imagine whether it is good or not.
Wang Yue hoped that while fighting the Japanese army, the Japanese army would also be able to better fight the bald eagle and bleed more blood to the world's powers. At his time and space, looking back, this war was far from being fought to the most intense level, the management class was still there, the talents were still there, and the country's essence was not lost, so could it be called a smash?
If Wang Yue, who is forced to participate in the meeting, can't get the bald eagle to lie down, he will be too failed to come to this world.
Therefore, from the beginning of the battle of Laojun Mountain, Wang Yue has already begun to prepare, Cheng Shifa's underground fortifications in Laojun Mountain, the mines laid, and the various firepower points set up are a template, a template that can be set into the island attack and defense war by the mountain offensive and defensive warfare, and the root of all this is the booklet that Wang Yue entrusted Li Yunlong to Cheng Shifa, and after the war, Yamamoto Kazuki also got the booklet on the battlefield, it is estimated that it should be rotten now, right?
Later, it was the same to guide Yamamoto Kazuki to engage in that kind of cross-regional special offensive operations, if he could go to the mountain city to attack the highest authority, he could naturally go to other places to attack other targets, 1,000 kilometers was no problem, 10,000 kilometers was no problem, compared to the mountain city full of spies, the land far away from the war was obviously a bigger stage, enough for Yamamoto Kazuki to show.
It turned out that with the expansion of Yamamoto's troops, the senior spies of the Anti-War Alliance also took the opportunity to lurk in, and then a little bit of guidance and hints, Yamamoto Kazuki has now become more bold and creative, and even the top of the Japanese army is more confident in Yamamoto's special offensive operations, and even the exchange group of Hans Kingdom was sent to Taiyuan, which is said to evaluate the possibility of Anza a certain beard.
Everything is a big game of chess, although the details cannot be controlled, but there is no problem in the general direction, with the full support of the Eighth Route Army, Wang Yue has begun to guide this huge chess game.
As for the Eighth Route Army's full support for Wang Yue's plans that are not marginal and difficult to explain, it is completely out of trust in his friends, out of trust, Wang Yue can spare no effort to support the Eighth Route Army, and even invest a lot of money regardless of returns, out of trust, Wang Yue can moderately show his incredibleness in front of the Eighth Route Army, and it is also out of trust that the Eighth Route Army will mobilize all resources to cooperate, and even pay a lot of unspeakable costs to protect Wang Yue's secrets.
It seems that now in the Taiyue base area, there are also a large number of soldiers and civilians who are busy dealing with sea fish, because Wang Yue will fly a plane to go once a day at night, and then throw down a large number of sea fish, which is tens of millions of tons of sea fish every day, whether it is land or air, it is impossible to transport it to Jin Province, not to mention that the railway and highway traffic in the entire Jin Province is now cut off, but for this matter, the Eighth Route Army has no intention of exploring.
But the guy Morita Kuroshima was moved when he ate tuna sashimi, and thought it was specially prepared for him by the Eighth Route Army, which made him miss his family even more after not going home for a few years, and the rejection of the Eighth Route Army in his heart was also less, it was really interesting, every day was red wine, imported seafood, and fragrant rice, even his own guards were the same, in addition to eating, they also got gifts, and when they left the base, the four guards actually led a bought mule cart, pulled a cart full of dried fish given by the Eighth Route Army.
However, compared to the friendliness of the Eighth Route Army, Yamamoto Kazuki's approach made Kuroshima Morita a little speechless, his own commander, His Excellency, unexpectedly, actually requisitioned the rice transported by the Kuroshima family from the base area as military rations, although it was also given money, but this kind of rice, as long as it was transported back to the mainland, it would be two or three times the profit.
Now it's all gone, it's all military rations, and his idea of re-establishing his prestige in the family has been frustrated, uh, it can't be said that all of them have failed, and it's not bad to exchange the net abalone that can't be sold for real money, but that's too little after all, he needs to make more profits and get more benefits.
Since he even did such a thing as surrendering to the Eighth Route Army, Kuroshima Morita naturally has no scruples, compared to the serious consequences of the exposure of that incident, everything is not important, when he was in the Taiyue base area, he also visited the training of the Eighth Route Army, to be honest, he does not think that the Japanese army still has much chance to eliminate the Eighth Route Army, just like Yamamoto Kazuki said, being able to maintain the current situation is the greatest help to the Japanese Empire.
If he can't achieve a complete victory, he will have to find a way to help himself and the Japanese Empire from other aspects, exchanging the local abundant net abalone for food and supplies, he really doesn't think there is any harm in this matter, in his mind, he still remembers a list given to him by Brigade Commander Chen, cheap wood, precious stones, and even those Chinese medicinal materials can be used in exchange for food and materials, according to Brigade Commander Chen's meaning, when the time is ripe, even weapons can be open to their own side.
This business is a unique business for the current Kuroshima Morita, he can buy low and sell high, earn the difference, even if he needs to share a part of the profit to His Excellency the commander in the process, but in the end it is himself, including Japan, no matter what the outcome of this war is, he is paying for the country.
As for why the Eighth Route Army uncharacteristically exchanged food for some useless things, Kuroshima Morita would not be naïve to think that the Eighth Route Army was just out of good intentions, and there must be a deeper purpose in it, but he didn't know it for the time being, just like the dried fish brought back by his entourage this time, why did the Eighth Route Army spend energy to get the dried fish into Jin Province, it is a puzzle that you can't fathom.
However, Seon is not blessed, he has done a good job this time, it is obvious that Yamamoto Kazuki also trusts himself more, if there is a chance to join the inner circle composed of Yamamoto Kazuki, Hirata Ichiro, Qian Bojun, and Watanabe Yuichi, it will be better, judging from what Yamamoto Kazuki is doing so far, this guy has begun to have some heroic posture.
If the current development trend continues, Kazuki Yamamoto, who has an absolute age advantage, will definitely be able to reach the peak of power, and who will His Excellency Yamamoto rely on when the time comes? Do you rely on the Yamamoto family, which has declined? Definitely not, and those subordinates around His Excellency Yamamoto? Forget it, none of those guys have a background. When the time comes, I don't know who I can rely on.
Even, it is not necessary to cooperate with His Excellency Yamamoto to control the entire country, and when that time comes, who will really care if he has really changed his knot? Just like a certain leader in China, after becoming the president, who will find out whether he has betrayed the country, and even those who come after him will continue to whitewash those things he did in Japan back then.
Even if you take 10,000 steps back, Japan is defeated, and you have an incident, so it's a big deal to take the money and find a small country to live incognito, as long as you have money, where can you go? And when it really comes to the day of Japan's defeat, he can also put himself in the anti-war league, become a hero to save the country, and completely clear himself.
For a while, Kuroshima Morita was a little confused, and it was still a lot of benefits to feel that he had joined the Eighth Route Army.
Some people died, but not completely......
