Chapter 242 Travel to Kunming

Shao Zhen naturally knew what they meant, so he immediately seized the opportunity to be alone and chatted with the officer Niu

Colonel Niu is actually a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy. Although he studied engineering and soldier tunnel digging, he is now a colonel through various connections. He is extremely greedy for money.

Shao Zhen took out ten silver dollars and said naturally

"Captain Niu, my uncle found me last month and gave me a sum of money to heal my legs. Now there are a few left. I will enter the camp soon, and I don't know how to let them go."

Colonel Niu earns hundreds of silver dollars a month, and looks down on these ten silver dollars, but Shao Zhen's attitude satisfies him.

So I took it and said

"You, a 38th Division, are willing to come to my 200th Division, which is considered low. Now that the US military is recruiting people, you can try it. If you succeed, you can directly enter under the name of the 38th Division. If you fail, then come to the 200th Division to find me."

It turns out that the U.S. military is indeed making strategic preparations, and it has not deviated from historical facts. It is just that the factions of the G Army have serious conflicts, so the 200th Division will not tell A Yi, let alone tell others.

Shao Zhenqing rushed back to the shelter and told everyone.

After some inquiries, I found out that the U.S. military is recruiting people in Kunming, and they need to be under 25 years old to understand English. The only ones who meet the requirements in the shelter are A Yi and Shao Zhen.

But Ah Yi was unwilling to go in order to take care of the troubled brothers and sisters of the 38th Division.

Shao Zhen had no choice but to move his "uncle" out again, and gave each of them ten silver dollars to the hotel.

Little Zuo saw that Shao Zhen packed up and was going to Kunming, so he was a little embarrassed and said

"Can you take me with you, I will cover all the expenses, but you have to protect me on the way"

"Where do you have money?"

“I want to sell the hotel”

"Aren't you waiting for your brother?"

"My brother belongs to the 200th Division, and you are all from the 38th Division. The 200th Division has more than [-]% casualties."

"Don't look at me like that. Commander Niu told me just now that you are going to Kunming. He is my father's former student and he survived the catastrophe in Nanjing."

"Okay, I have money, you will be my maidservant on the road, with food and shelter, no need to warm the bed, one silver dollar a day, and you need to make sure that I laugh three times a day"

With tears in his eyes, Xiao Zuo agreed with a smile.

"Do you really have such a good uncle and jade pendant?"

"Of course, I will also analyze geometrical calculus"

"Wow"

Shao Zhen saw a flash of admiration in the other party's eyes.

"The little girl is so deceiving, I even went to MIT"

Shao Zhen, who had just finished thinking in his mind, saw Xiao Zuo going out with a small bag, and came back within a few minutes and said
"I handed over the management of the hotel to Aunt Niu. She also came here after the city of Nanjing was destroyed."

It is thousands of kilometers away from Zen to Kunming. With the current various means of transportation, it will take only a few tens of silver dollars or half a month to get there.

Officer Niu watched Shao Zhen and Xiao Zuo ride away, and returned to the barracks with a long sigh. He had always taken care of Xiao You, but he still failed to bring Xiao You back.

When Shao Zhen left, he bought a tattered M1 from an American arms dealer as equipment cover. If there are bandits who don't have eyes, the unlimited ammunition system M1 will let them learn to have eyes.

It turned out that not only the plot bandits were not smart, but even the player bandits were not smart. The result was that they all gave money. The plot characters gave silver dollars, and the story players gave Chinese coins. . .

Silver dollars can be regarded as hard currency in this era, which is much easier to use than legal currency.

Kunming is located in the southwestern part of China, in the middle of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, connecting Guizhou and Guizhou to the coast, and was the channel for military supplies at that time.

After Nanjing's defense failed and was massacred in 1937, the anti-Japanese troops retreated to Kunming in batches, factories and schools moved in, and a large amount of capital, equipment and talents entered.

Bureaucratic capital set up and opened factories and enterprises in Kunming one after another. Machinery factories, copper smelting factories, electric factories, power plants, arsenals, electric steel factories, spinning factories, tobacco factories, etc. were established one after another.
