Chapter 68
That is the general direction, the change of the world. It has not affected this area of BJ City so quickly.
The biggest impact on Wang Wenwu now is that there is a new colonel in the gendarmerie. As for the original colonel, it seems that he has gone to become the commander of the new army.
As the Japanese army grows more and more, more and more resources are needed. This is not something that a small island country can support. The Japanese plunder of the occupied areas has become more and more serious.
But it is against this background that a lot of military supplies have entered the black market. And as time goes by, the supplies entering the black market are no longer a small matter, and are on a scale that even the North China Command needs to pay attention to.
It was under such circumstances that the new colonel took office. At the colonel's welcome meeting, someone wanted to act as an intermediary to let Wang Wenwu and the new colonel get to know each other.
Wang Wenwu waved his hand and refused directly. He said: "This man came directly from the North China Command. If he doesn't make some achievements, how can he go back obediently! There is no use in saying nice things."
The man said: "Yes, words can play a small role. But when he sees what he will get, I think this thing should still be very convincing."
To put it bluntly, they just want to use money to buy this new colonel. But! These people don't want to pay for it, so they have to ask Wang Wenwu to pay for it.
Of course, there is another possibility. In fact, smuggling items in the army is a very common thing. But this time, the North China Command specially sent someone down, and when he came, he said that smuggling would be strictly controlled.
It was unclear where the bottom line of the North China Command was. In order to avoid leaving their name in the headquarters, these people encouraged Wang Wenwu to try it out. Anyway, he did not join the army and the headquarters had no control over it.
he.
Not long after the new colonel took office, the inspection of smuggling was indeed much stricter. Although a lot of materials were shipped out of the military camp, they were all trapped in the warehouse and could not be shipped out at all.
The shipping speed has slowed down, which has affected the income of many people. But these people who were not determined in the first place were exposed in Wang Wenwu's warehouses in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, Wang Wenwu only hid the valuable items well. Others
Although there was a lot of damage, it was not broken.
Kazuo Mafune, with the rank of Major. Wang Wenwu can’t remember which unit he is currently in. He was originally going to follow the army to the front line, but he always found a way to stay. Those who were in the same period as him, as long as they survived, were promoted to Colonel
I went. There are people with backgrounds who can become major generals.
But he had to stay no matter what. That was because he felt that making money with Wang Wenwu was more important than getting promoted.
Moreover, in this smuggling business, Wang Wenwu sometimes felt that Kazuo Mafune was more active than himself. Many of Wang Wenwu's officers who could provide goods were dragged into the smuggling business under Kazuo Mafune's persuasion.
That day in an izakaya, Wang Wenwu handed him the portion that belonged to Kazuo Manbune. Kazuo Manbune counted it. Compared with the thick package he received before, it can be said that it is now more than half lighter.
Mafune Kazuo casually threw the brown paper bag aside. He drank the sake vigorously. Without saying a word, he just drank one cup after another. After a while, the whole bottle went into his stomach.
Wang Wenwu opened the private room door and asked the owner of the izakaya to call some girls in.
Although the Japanese are making rapid progress on the battlefield, the life of the people at the bottom is actually not good. Most of the Japanese men in BJ will not be recruited to serve as soldiers. Those who stay at home are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.
A man can still have money sent home while he is alive, but once a man dies, that meager pension will not last long. But in this place where the Japanese are a minority, especially at this time, the Japanese are making great progress, and the newspapers are full of them.
News of victory.
There are very few jobs for these orphans and widowed mothers, so it becomes a very reasonable thing to come to an izakaya to work as a hostess.
The owner of the izakaya asked Wang Wenwu how many girls they wanted? What kind do they like?
Wang Wenwu said to Kazuo Mafune: "How many do you want to call?"
Kazuo Mafune just waved his hand and let Wang Wenwu make his own decision.
Wang Wenwu said to the owner of the izakaya: "Just four!"
Soon, four girls came over. They were said to be girls, but one of them was obviously in her thirties. She was very afraid that Wang Wenwu and the others would not choose her. After all, she was nothing compared to the young and beautiful girls next to her.
No advantage. So you are always trying to highlight what you don’t have compared to those young girls.
Wang Wenwu asked Mafune Kazuo to choose first, and Mafune Kazuo naturally chose the two youngest ones. Wang Wenwu didn't dislike the rest, so they all stayed.
The small box suddenly became lively. When the girls saw Kazuo Manfune wearing a military uniform, they knew he was a soldier. They kept asking him about his heroic deeds on the battlefield. But Kazuo Manfune was on the battlefield in the early days of the war, and he has never been on the battlefield since.
After that, I never went to the battlefield again.
But fortunately, Mafune Kazuo knew a lot of heroic deeds from the army's internal publications. Mafune Kazuo regarded these heroic deeds as his own and told the girls.
The girls really thought they had met a war hero. Even if Kazuo Manfune acted rudely, the girls just thought that they had not relaxed physically and mentally after staying on the battlefield for a long time. The girls planned to use their bodies to let Kazuo Manfune relax.
Compared to the liveliness of Kazuo Mafune's side, Wang Wenwu's side was much quieter. They mostly chatted with people. What they talked about was not the war, nor anything high-end. It was just the daily necessities of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.
Tea, very ordinary.
The young girl leaning next to Wang Wenwu was not thinking about Wang Wenwu at all. Compared with the war hero next to him, the man next to him was really boring. I don’t know how he got together with the war hero.
together.
The young girl didn't know anything. All she knew was what the Japanese government had advertised in newspapers. The only difference with her was that the escort girl was clearly in her 30s at a glance.
Because he not only has to support himself, but also her two children. So she is particularly sensitive to prices.
Wang Wenwu asked the young girl to accompany Kazuo Manfune, and he could just chat with the young mother.
The young girl ran away very snobbishly.
Wang Wenwu chatted with the young mother and said that he had not contacted the country for a long time. He asked her if she had contacted the country. I know that these Japanese expatriates are actually not living a good life. But compared to the Chinese, they are better off by buying
Materials will not be restricted, but the money should still be given.
Wang Wenwu asked her why she didn't go back to China. The young mother said that the situation in China was more serious than that of BJ. Although BJ is not cheap, at least it can be purchased with money. But Japan is different. It has already started
