Chapter 1016 Occupation
While toasting, the captain of one of Ozawagawa's gunboats put down his wine glass, looked at Zuo Zhong and Gui Youguang who were smiling, and asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, do you know the names of these two gentlemen?"

Ozawachuan's heart tightened, he patted his forehead pretending to be sorry, and introduced the disguised identities of Zuo Zhong and his subordinates to his subordinates.

"This is Chairman Nanjia Ichiro. He has deep connections in the army and has a lot of connections with the high-level North China Front Army. The person next to him is Nan Jiajun's assistant."

As for Gui Youguang, Ozawagawa just mentioned it casually. After all, it is not important for a small person, but he focused on clarifying the background of "Nanjia Ichiro".

While he was speaking, Zuo Zhong signaled to Gui Youguang to distribute famous thorns, which are actually business cards, and the name comes from the famous posters in the ancient period of the Republic of China.

The bald head immediately followed suit, while Zuo Zhong, with a slight sense of superiority, said with a smile the name of the club "under his name" and the scope of business.

"Everyone, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me, I am the president of the Osaka Jingdong Association, it is really a happy thing to meet Ozawa-kun and all the warriors of the empire in Anqing.

Jingdong Club will soon open several branches in the occupied areas of the empire to sell food, hardware, department stores and other commodities. If you need help, please feel free to ask. "

food?

The people present looked at the famous assassin in their hands, and thought of the food that was sent to the "front line of Jiang City" two days ago, their eyes lit up immediately, and the corners of their mouths raised slightly unconsciously.

It is almost an open secret that the imperial ┴ army is involved in smuggling ┴, otherwise how would the families of the brigade and division heads in the mainland maintain a luxurious life with the military salary alone.

In fact, Tokyo also encourages this kind of behavior. Firstly, it can solve the shortage of military expenditures, and secondly, it can extract precious metals from the Kuomintang-controlled areas to hit the government's economy.

The navy responsible for managing the surface transportation of the empire and the occupied areas was the hardest-hit area. It was said that even an ordinary sailor in Shanghai could get a lot of money from it.

Since Shanghai can do it, why can't Anqing do it? Some people have made this idea in the past, but Ozawagawa's courage is too timid, so they can only give up in the end.

Now a "good friend" who sells food suddenly appeared in Ozawagawa, and then contacted that weird military supplies transportation mission, it is obvious that their commander is not as honest as he seems.

The caring people looked at each other, clinked glasses with Zuo Zhong enthusiastically, and began to test whether they could help Jingdong Club, so that everyone could earn money together.

Ozawa Chuan heard his teeth itch, and these bastards Pingshi all lived the sky locusts, and the slogan of the empire's victory was loudly shouted, and now it is good to see it, and it is all forgotten.

The gossip spread the fastest, and soon the sailors at other tables also knew the news. Some were itchy, some were disdainful, some were waiting and watching, and the atmosphere in the restaurant became more enthusiastic.

Facing the compliments and temptations from everyone, Zuo Zhong felt that it was time, so he gulped down a glass of wine, blushed and clapped his palms, signaling Gui Youguang to handle the matter.

Seeing the signal, the bald man immediately got up and walked to the door of the private room, pushed open the door and turned around, a low wall made of yen banknotes suddenly appeared behind the door.

"This is."

"banknote?"

The ghosts who had never seen the world were stunned when they saw this. Some people didn't even know that their saliva was dripping, and they sat on the stool stupidly and stared at the hundred-yuan banknotes or bank exchange notes in the room.

Strictly speaking, the Japanese banknotes at this time are a kind of vouchers, which can be exchanged for gold in nominal amounts, but after the financial crisis, this function exists in name only.

But no matter what, seeing so much money at one time was a huge ideological shock to those present, and shattered long-standing values ​​and world views.

Not to mention them, Ozawagawa, who has already received a large amount of benefits, is also uneasy, feeling that he has missed [-] million yuan, and regrets agreeing to "Ichiro Nanka" too early.

If he had known that the other party was so rich, what was a mere suitcase of banknotes, at least two suitcases, no, three suitcases, he would have agreed to escort the grain ship.

Zuo Zhong on the side smiled slightly. Since the concept of currency was born in human society, it means that everything has a corresponding price, and it is nothing more than a question of how much.

The most important thing in the military is money, especially the Japanese yen. The money printing machines in the secret camp in the mountain city are running at full speed, and the banknotes are printed out one by one, and then exchanged for materials through various channels, or deposited in banks of various countries. account.

He didn't believe that seeing these yen, Ozawagawa's subordinates could still maintain their absolute loyalty to the locust. People have selfish desires. This is human nature and an iron law that no one can change.

The hint I gave at the wine table earlier has already hooked up the greed of these Japanese people, and the yen in the private room will quickly magnify this greed and disturb their thinking.

However, fortunately, Anqing is not far from Jinling, and the appointment was made in advance when withdrawing money last time, otherwise the Zhengjin Bank in Anqing would not have been able to provide such a large amount of cash.

At this moment, the lobby was extremely quiet. After a long time, someone finally came to his senses. Suppressing the greed and excitement in his heart, he turned his head and carefully asked Zuo Zhong a question.

"Your Excellency Nan Jia, what is this?"

Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the answer from "Nanjia Ichiro". No one is an idiot┴, the other party is definitely not showing off their wealth in this way, so there is only one possibility, the other party wants to bribe them.

Zuo Chong walked to the banknotes with a grin, put his hands on the low wall, looked up at the red-faced devils, smiled lightly, and said something slowly.

"The money belongs to you."

All the people present were stunned, and after a few seconds, they began to cheer wildly. The wine glasses, bowls and chopsticks all flew into the sky. Everyone was dazzled by the sudden wealth, and no one asked the other party why they gave the money.

The reason, is it important?

Not important at all.

With so much money, let alone transporting some contraband to the Kuomintang-controlled area, even if you sell the two gunboats of the Anqing garrison to the people of the Republic of China, it is not impossible to consider. There will always be losses in combat, right?

Looking at the ecstatic devils, Zuo Zhong raised his hand and pressed down while maintaining a smile. The cheers disappeared instantly. Look, if the Japanese army is an "elite division", it really is forbidden.

In the expectant eyes of the sailors, he closed the door of the private room to block the banknotes, and then, without waiting for the crowd to clamor, he began to skillfully draw cakes.

"Okay, everyone, don't get excited, Ozawa-kun and I will have a private conversation with everyone. After the conversation is over, the money will be distributed one by one according to the rank and number of people.

This is just the beginning. Jingdong Club will bring more benefits to you in the future. When the war is over and the warriors retire, I will provide a decent job. "

After speaking, he dragged Xiao Zechuan and the captain of one of the gunboats to the back hall, and Gui Youguang immediately stood at the door of the private room, with his right hand under his clothes to prevent anyone from taking risks.

As we all know, the moral bottom line of the Japanese has always been relatively low. Who knows if there are people who don't want to work but also want money.

Besides, Zuo Chong and the others walked through the corridor and came to a room to sit down. The wall cut off the noise from outside. The captain of the gunboat looked at the benefactor and his boss in front of him a little uneasy, neither sitting nor standing.

"Hehe, don't be nervous."

Zuo Zhong comforted this person and chatted for a while. He waited for the other person to relax slowly before entering the main topic. He didn't go around in circles, and directly revealed that there were entrainment in the supplies delivered a few days ago.

At the same time, it is stated that this is a very profitable business. The last time it was done was worth ten years of military pay, and the settlement in cash will never be in arrears, but if you want to join, you must first submit a nomination certificate.

The nomination certificate was nothing else, it was the national government intelligence personnel in the hands of the Anqing Gendarmerie, but he also made it clear that he would definitely kill people at that time and not leave any witnesses behind.

The captain of the gunboat reacted much more calmly than Ozawagawa, he didn't yell, and he didn't clamor to report. He agreed as quickly as possible, which made Zuo Zhong feel a little at a loss.

In fact, this is normal. The smarter you are, the more you know the nature of Japan's war. The high-level officials have made a lot of money through the war, so why can't they.

To put it simply, what Zuo Zhong offered far exceeded the benefits offered by the locusts and the Japanese government┴. Unless they were diehards, no one would refuse this condition.

Of course, Zuo Zhong wouldn't trust the other party easily, so he took out the confession he had prepared long ago, and there was nothing else on it, just to greet the whole family of Tianlocust in terms of law and physiology.

As long as this terrible thing is signed, no matter whether it is real or fake, the other party will have no other choice but to follow Zuo Zhong and Xiao Zechuan all the way to the dark.

The captain of the gunboat was even more happy about this, and signed his name without hesitation, and held it up in his hand to take a photo. It's useless to regret it after getting on the boat, so it's better to just do it.

In addition, like Ozawagawa, the other party did not ask about Zuo Zhong's real identity. With this fig leaf, it is a good thing for both parties. Those who don't know are innocent.

After signing, Zuo Zhong sent Xiao Zechuan to call the next person to come in, while the captain of the gunboat stayed behind. Newly recruited personnel, just signing and taking pictures are not enough, they must have blood on their hands.

After decades of brainwashing┴education, there must be some people in the lobby who are unwilling to betray Japan, and it will be up to the other party to play their role at that time, money can't be taken for nothing.

Next, the sailors and low-ranking officers who came to the banquet came to the room one by one. Most of them agreed to it without much hesitation, just like the first person, but there were also some who couldn't think about it.

For this group of people, there is no need to do the left hand, and someone will clean it up. The next room will soon be filled with dead bodies. Blocking people's money is like killing their parents. A chance to change your destiny.

In the middle of the night, the dozens of people who came to the restaurant decreased by seven or eight, and the rest stood in line in front of Zuo Zhong and began to collect money, and the voices of thanks were endless.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Nanjia."

"I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

"Hay."

It didn't take long for Zuo Zhong to hand over the last pile of cash to a grateful devil, and then he was going to give these people a final blow to avoid repetition.

He took out a few telex newspapers from his pocket. The so-called telex newspapers meant that the telegraph office would collect some overseas news and sell them to sojourners and merchants at a price of three cents per word.

This is expensive and meaningless for ordinary people, but it is very important for merchants who need to obtain timely information on commodity prices, supply and demand in various places.

After seeing Ozawa Chuan yesterday, Gui Youguang went to withdraw money, Zuo Zhong went to Anqing Telegraph Office to buy some, he held the newspaper upright, and read several reports on it slowly.

These reports, without exception, all tell stories about a poor family in Japan who received remittances from relatives on the front line, thus living a life of adequate food and clothing.

The Japanese government likes it very much and also supports newspapers publishing such cases to boost morale and lure the people to support the war against China with benefits.

What excited the devils present was that the names mentioned in the report were the fathers, mothers or wives of some of them.

But they did not remit money to their families at all. There is only one answer, which is the work of Nanjia Ichiro, who has great powers, and he remitted money to all relatives.

This is both a coup and a warning. If someone dares to play tricks, not only will they be unlucky, but their family members in the mainland will also suffer.

Gui Youguang suddenly realized that the general affairs allocated funds to Tokyo for this purpose, and the deputy director had strangled the other party's life, so the devil should be completely honest.

Sure enough, several sailors whose family members' names were mentioned knelt down and got off their seats in a standard taxi to express their surrender and gratitude to Zuo Zhong.

Zuo Zhong accepted the obeisance frankly, and then kindly helped them up, and said sincerely to all the sailors and officers.

"I know some of you are pressured to join our cause, but I want to say, you shouldn't be hostile to me, it's just a business.

Since it is a business, there are buyers and sellers. From this point of view, you and I are partners in the same position and share common interests.

So, let us join hands to create a better tomorrow together, become rich together, and return to our hometown gloriously to accept the cheers of our family! "

The devils had never heard of this kind of speech, thinking of the good days in the future, they immediately stared at their blood-red eyes, joined hands and waved their arms and howled deafeningly.

"Onboard!"

"Onboard!"
