Chapter 688: A Fair Deal
Four or five days.
These bastards only left food for one day, what about the remaining days?
I'm hungry.
"What do you mean? You're not letting us go for four or five days. Are you planning to watch us starve to death here?"
Masao Nakamura looked at Ono in front of him with gritted teeth.
He finally understood.
Yes, they did let you go, but whether you starved to death was not their concern.
I was so confused. I was so confused. How could I have believed their words so easily?
"How is that possible?" Ono looked at Nakamura Masao in front of him. "How could we possibly do something worse than pigs and dogs? You have to believe that when it comes to benevolence, righteousness, and integrity, we in Yamashiro have always been better than you."
Pooh……
If the situation had allowed it, Masao Nakamura would have killed Ono on the spot.
Our mountain city, our mountain city, what qualifications does this person who has forgotten his ancestors have to say these things here?
"So what are you going to do?" Masao Nakamura had to consider what to do in the days ahead.
We can't let everyone go hungry.
If you don't get back by then, most people will have starved to death.
"We're not asking you to hand over your valuables, like money or watches. These can be exchanged for food. Don't worry, our prices will be fair. We won't take advantage of you and ask for exorbitant prices."
He is indeed from Osaka. He has even done business on the battlefield.
But what choice did Nakamura Masao have? He nodded frustratedly; "Okay, I understand."
Ono returned to the regiment headquarters happily.
Zhou Weiguo, who was talking with Takeshita Shun and the others, looked up at him and said, "It's done."
"That's it." He flipped open his notebook. "I took a look. Some of the stuff we have, like trucks and motorcycles, we can use ourselves. As for the rest, aside from a few heavy machine guns, the rest isn't very valuable to us."
He handed the notebook to Zhou Weiguo and said, "Look and see if there's anything else you need to keep. If there's anything, add it. If not, I'll sell it."
Zhou Weiguo glanced at the notebook and thought there was nothing worth keeping, so he threw it over. "Nothing more. Oh, by the way, the order has come from above. The troops have cleared the road. Let them pack up and get out."
"What?" Onomoto was packing his notebooks. Hearing what Zhou Weiguo said, he frowned and said, "Can we delay it for a few days? I told them that if they want to leave, it will take at least four or five days before we can get the front-line troops to move out of the way."
"You're crazy." Fang Shengli looked at Xiao Ye. It would take so long. The day after Lao Zhou came back, the Gui army received an order from Commander Bai to clear the road. At the same time, the defense zone of the 74th Army also moved meters to the left and right, forming a distance of one kilometer in the middle, which was convenient for them to pass quickly.
Ono must also know about this.
"Why am I crazy? We only confiscated their weapons and ammunition, but not their personal belongings. You know, the watch that Nakamura Masao wears is worth at least five hundred dollars. And his chief of staff is also a rich man, that's..."
With just one sentence, everyone present fell silent.
Money is a good thing, and it makes no difference whether they leave early or late.
"It's up to you, but we can't exploit you. The food should be fair to everyone. We can just raise the price a little bit."
Zhou Weiguo said without objection, pointing to Alice beside him, "You go with her and learn how this profiteer makes money."
Hey……
After all, I was fooled by them. Why did I just hand over all the supplies so honestly? Even if each person left a can of food, I would have made do with it.
But now...
"Despicable, so despicable." Masao Nakamura punched the map.
The table where the maps used to be placed now only has a few teacups left.
Because they asked for the map ruler and other things. If Tanaka hadn't argued for it, they would probably have taken the brigade flag as well.
"What should we do? We still have four or five days before we can leave. With our supplies, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out until then, and most of our soldiers will be lost." A regimental commander nearby asked aggrievedly.
"They did it on purpose. They said it would take four or five days. They're just exploiting us further."
Another person also leaned against the door angrily.
Tanaka looked at everyone with a relatively calm demeanor. "So what if they did it on purpose? Can we still cause them trouble? There's no point in talking about this now. Let's think about how to get enough supplies from them."
At the very least, we must ensure that the soldiers will not go hungry during these days.
Nakamura Masao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then took off his watch and placed it on the table. He thought for a moment, and finally placed his command knife on it as well; "After all, it's my fault."
"General, this command knife is an heirloom in your family. This..."
Tanaka saw that Masao Nakamura put his command knife on the table and stood up to persuade him.
"They are just some external things. Soldiers are more important."
Masao Nakamura hated the other party's conspiracy, but he had to admit that the other party's shamelessness gave him a good opportunity to win people's hearts.
He believed that the soldiers of this brigade would fight for him regardless of the consequences.
So, he had to take it out. Not to mention the heirlooms, he was willing to give away even the ones he got married with.
The appearance of the gold ring caused the other people to start taking things out silently.
There is no way. As military officers, now is the time for them to win over the hearts of the people.
Changsha city.
Nanzō Yunko burst out laughing, and the silver bell-like laughter made Nakamura feel a little embarrassed.
This young lady of my family, seeing the Imperial Army suffering such humiliation, she actually... actually laughed.
"Miss, the second uncle is too mean. Not only did he take their weapons and ammunition, but he also squeezed all their money out of them."
God knows that when he heard that after the Nakamura Brigade handed over the supplies, they did not leave immediately, but instead asked them to stay where they were on the grounds that the road was not cleared.
They didn't know that on that day, the troops along the Guangxi line actually began to move left and right to create a path.
They could have left that same day, but their second uncle insisted on delaying it for five days.
After five days, the Nakamura Brigade was probably squeezed to the bone, with only their underwear left. The officers' pockets were probably cleaner than their faces.
Nanzō Yunzi suppressed her smile and hummed, "He's indeed a bit mean, but if he weren't mean, would he still be Zhou Weiguo?"
