Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 501 Commander, please leave a way for our brothers to survive. If the fighting continues, th

The vision given by Kojiro Hirata made everyone present breathe heavily. They really didn't expect that there would be such huge profits hidden in it, and they almost agreed on the spot.

Fortunately, there are smart people here. Mitsui Taro, who often does business, immediately saw the flaws. Before everyone agreed, he spoke first: "Hirata-kun, the prospects you describe are indeed exciting, but it is not easy to keep such a large amount of material transactions secret. Moreover, do we really have the ability to take on such a large transaction volume? I am skeptical about this. I can't make a decision easily before listening to Hirata-kun's overall plan."

Everyone was awakened by a bucket of cold water poured down by Mitsui Taro, and they looked at Hirata Kojiro with sharp eyes, wanting to hear what he had to say. It was easy to talk these days, but it was difficult to do things. Without a perfect plan, they were absolutely unwilling to take risks with Hirata Kojiro.

In response to Mitsui Taro's questioning, Hirata Kojiro had already prepared a speech in his mind and was very well prepared. He said, "Everyone, I know you are very suspicious of what I just said and think that I am bragging. In fact, I am not bragging this time. I already have a perfect plan for how to make a deal with the Independence Group."

"I have already told you all in advance that with my current strength, I can only trade 20 yuan worth of materials with the Independent Group every month. If it exceeds this amount, I will be powerless. Without cooperation, it will be impossible to transport more materials to the designated trading location. Therefore, I need to recruit people to share the pressure with me."

"Mitsui-kun has the channels for distributing medicines, so the distribution of medicines can be handed over to the Mitsui Army. Colonel Kuroki is responsible for the inspection of the sentry posts, so our supplies can pass easily. In order to ensure the safety of the supplies, Kurofuji-kun will be responsible for escorting them. The matter of raising supplies will be handed over to Nakamura-kun, and I will be responsible for covering for everyone. With my uncle's reputation, even if someone wants to make trouble, they will give me face. I am not an ignorant person. As long as someone is involved, I will give them some money. We will form a community of interests, and it will no longer be a problem to trade millions of dollars worth of supplies every month."

Hirata Kojiro took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Mitsui Taro beside him. After Mitsui Taro took it, he read it carefully from beginning to end, let everyone present read it one by one, and then burned the document in front of everyone. Then he said in a brisk tone: "Everyone, my plan is very detailed and takes all kinds of emergencies into consideration. As long as you can ensure that there are no problems with the matters at hand, then our transaction with the Independent Group will be very safe."

"When selling supplies to the independent regiment, we are also selective. We can sell more salt, which is a daily necessity that cannot be used to produce weapons. We can sell less of the scarce supplies such as food and copper. Rare metal ores can be sold at 2 to 3 times the market price, and the price of medicines can be lowered. This way we can earn more. I estimate that our final profit will not be less than 100%. As long as we work harder, it will be no problem for each of us to earn million before the New Year."

"By next year, I guarantee that everyone can earn 200 million dollars. If it's not enough, I will make it up to you. We only need to work for two or three years, and each of us can accumulate 500 million dollars. We can let our families immigrate to live abroad. In these chaotic times, as long as we have money abroad, we can still live a good life. As for whether we win or lose this war, it has nothing to do with us. Especially after the Empire started its southward movement, it provoked an enemy that it should not provoke. I am very pessimistic about the future."

"Of course, these words are limited to this room. I will never admit it after we leave this room. I still say the same thing. You can not plan for yourselves, but you must plan well for your family!"

Hirata Kojiro's words were approved by everyone present, and they expressed their support one after another. They discussed in detail some possible problems in the plan. In order to open up trade with the independent group as soon as possible, it was decided that Nakamura Ichiro would be the representative to negotiate with Li Yunlong's independent group.

As for Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, they were symbolically ignored by everyone. They didn't want Chu Yunfei to be the intermediary anymore. It was really that Chu Yunfei's eating habits were too ugly, which reduced their profits too much. Unless Chu Yunfei was willing to make concessions, they really planned to kick Chu Yunfei out of the deal.

Chu Yunfei knew nothing about this. The continuous drizzle in the past few days had caused him a lot of trouble. He had originally planned to go back to the rear in the next two days, but as the rain kept falling, he had to postpone his trip again.

But Chu Yunfei didn't know that Dr. Genwei had already targeted him and secretly arranged for Yamamoto's special forces to release the plague into the water source, hoping to severely damage the 358th Regiment. Even Zhao Jia and the base could not escape Dr. Genwei's clutches. A large amount of plague was released into the water source and forest by the infiltrated Yamamoto's special forces, and a huge crisis quietly came.

At the same time, the Japanese mobilized 12 puppet corps and a brigade, and took advantage of the rain to block the view and launched a fierce attack on the three fortresses. The puppet troops who served as cannon fodder launched the attack very reluctantly. Whenever they encountered fierce fire from the fortress, they began to retreat. But the Japanese treated them without mercy. As long as they dared to retreat a step, the heavy machine guns set up in the rear would shoot fiercely, forcing them to rush up again.

But the puppet army was not stupid. They knew it was impossible, but they were unwilling to die in vain. They learned from turtles and slowly moved closer to the fortress. Otherwise, the soldiers defending the fortress would not be polite to the Japanese and the puppet army. In order to hit the morale of the Japanese, they directly used the fortress artillery to fire several rounds. The huge noise and lethality scared the puppet army so much that they cried and fled madly.

The Japanese used brutal killing methods to stop them, but they still failed to suppress the fear in the hearts of the puppet soldiers. Some puppet soldiers even fought directly with the Japanese, causing a lot of chaos. The Japanese quickly sent troops to suppress the chaos, but they did not stop attacking the fortress fortifications. Instead, they reduced the puppet soldiers' ammunition and asked them to attack the fortress fortifications again.

Although they were very dissatisfied, facing the guns of the devils, the puppet soldiers had to launch another attack. However, they kept dragging their feet and their personnel were very scattered. In addition, the rain was getting heavier, which had a great impact on people's vision. Some puppet soldiers simply took the opportunity to escape.

"General, we can't go on fighting like this. 1/6 of my brothers have already run away. If we continue like this, they will all run away. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. It is not suitable for fighting at all. Even the guns have misfired. The enemy we are facing has bunkers and is not afraid of rain at all. We will rush forward and as many people as possible will be killed. We should wait until the generals blow up the enemy's fortress artillery before launching the attack!" Huang Daya persuaded bitterly.

Fujimizu Ichiro, who was in charge of commanding this operation, picked up the telescope around his neck, looked ahead carefully, and ordered in a light tone: "Order the troops to withdraw and rest first, organize a battalion of imperial warriors to launch a desperate charge, and take the opportunity to blow up the enemy's bunkers. The heavier the rain, the better, we can take this opportunity to launch an attack, have more explosives shipped to me, and launch another night raid tonight. Anyone who dares to escape will be killed."

"The Empire usually provides you with food and clothing. Now it is time for you to repay the Empire. Huang Sang, I hope you won't let me down. I don't want to use your head to intimidate your subordinates. What you need to do now is to save yourself. Otherwise, you will lose your value. You should know very well what will happen to you. People who have lost their value do not deserve to live."

Huang Daya was very angry, but he knew that Fujimizu Ichiro was right. The Japanese usually turned a blind eye to his murders and arson, and did not care about the dirty things he did secretly, just to give him benefits and wait for the critical moment to make him sacrifice his life. For the Japanese, now is the time when Huang Daya needs to sacrifice his life. If Huang Daya cannot complete the task assigned by the Japanese, there is no need for him to live.

Huang Daya replied in a flattering tone: "Taijun, I will go and severely reprimand my men and select some of them to be the supervisory team. You don't need to do anything, Taijun, if anyone dares to escape, I will kill him directly!"

Fujimizu Ichiro was very satisfied with Huang Daya's attitude, and after giving him a few more instructions, he let him leave. After leaving, Huang Daya returned to the puppet army camp. As the commander of the puppet army, Huang Daya still had considerable power, with a total force of 100,000 people, and his strength was still very strong.

"Commander, what did the lady say? Today, it's not that the brothers are afraid of death, but the independent regiment's artillery fire is too fierce, especially the large-caliber fortress artillery. With one shot, no grass can grow within a hundred meters. The brothers are all mortals and can't stop it. Some brothers are crying on the battlefield. It's not that the brothers don't want to make the commander proud, but the independent regiment is too damn powerful!"

"In just half a day today, we have lost more than 5000 brothers. If we continue to fight like this, our First Army will be wiped out in five days at most. Without our strength, the Grand Lord will definitely not let us off easily. Please think twice, Commander!"
