Lu Kunyu's mentality is much more mature than before. He no longer directly persuades Chen Mingxiang to provide help to the underground party, but gradually uses facts to influence him. This makes Chen Mingxiang feel happy, but also a little worried. The junior sister has grown up and is not easily fooled.
Deceived.
"Mr. Frederick, this is an order for a batch of medical materials. The customer is pressing for it urgently. I hope to complete the transaction by the end of the month." Chen Mingxiang came to the German firm.
Since the Japanese army is going to launch a large-scale attack on the base area, medical supplies are the most urgent need for the troops in the base area under blockade.
He knew that Lu Kunyu would definitely mention this matter when the time came, so he made preparations in advance. Although the mountain city government had always regarded the underground party as a scourge, he did not take it seriously and waited until the Japanese were defeated.
The medical conditions in the base area are so poor. A surgery requires the use of homemade instruments. Not only is there a threat during the process, but the chance of postoperative infection is also alarming. Don’t look at a few scalpels, pliers, tweezers, etc., which are very important for doctors.
.
"I would also like to thank Mr. Chen for his strong support. The inspection team ordered two cars and six trucks from me, and the prices were not low. You deserve the rebate. I will use it as payment for this time, and the shortfall will be mine."
of."
"These things are not very sensitive, and I don't have to wait too long. I can purchase them from British and American companies in about ten days," Frederick said with a smile.
This time Chen Mingxiang ordered bandages, medical absorbent cotton, medical alcohol, dressings, Vaseline, a full set of surgical instruments, etc. Although the quantity was large, the value was not high.
"I don't know when this war will end. Medical supplies are in long-term demand. Although the profit is a little lower, the quantity is very large. You should be careful to stock up more at ordinary times. Don't let me hold the money but not be able to buy anything. Then
It’s the worst.” Chen Mingxiang said.
He went to a French store and bought two boxes of Bordeaux red wine and two boxes of cigars. While feeling distressed, Chen Mingxiang drove to the Marine Corps headquarters.
Colonel Nakajima gave him a Marine Corps pass, and he could be said to have unobstructed access to the Marine Corps' territory. When the officer guarding the gate saw it, he immediately waved his hand to ask the soldiers to separate the roadblock and let him in.
"Thank you for your hard work, keep these two boxes of cigars to refresh yourself!" Chen Mingxiang took out two boxes of cigars from the box on the passenger seat and handed them to the officer.
Cigars were still high-end luxury goods at this time. The vast majority of Japanese low-level officers couldn't even think about it. They couldn't afford to smoke them with their military salary. A box of cigars would cost them a month's salary. It was not enough.
The warrant officer naturally accepted it with a smile and bowed to thank him. His favorable impression of Chen Mingxiang doubled. Most people would never talk to junior officers, but Chen Mingxiang was the first.
Everyone in the Marine Corps Command knows that Chen Mingxiang is a friend of Colonel Nakajima, Lieutenant Colonel Shimada and Lieutenant Colonel Ono. He is the daily supplier of supplies to the Marine Corps. He even sent gifts of comfort during the Spring Festival. For such a person, even junior Japanese officers
I don’t dare to offend casually.
A Marine Corps second lieutenant at the door of the hall, after accepting two boxes of cigars, ran into the hall happily and called Lieutenant Colonel Ono out.
At this time, it would not have started yet, and few people would be present. Chen Mingxiang came here in advance, just to find an opportunity to spy on the information. It is easiest to get information from the mouths of these naval officers, provided that there is enough time to chat.
"I'm really sorry to invite you to the cocktail party and ask you to spend so much money. Thank you so much!" Ono Zhongsao bent down and bowed.
The two boxes of red wine and one box of cigars that Chen Mingxiang brought were purely imported goods and were valuable luxuries that he rarely enjoyed. The Marine Corps had very little extra money, so he was reluctant to buy them.
"Chen Sang, these red wine cigars are uncommon luxuries. I hope to change their use. Your Excellency, the Commander, also likes to drink red wine and smoke cigars," Lieutenant Colonel Ono said in a low voice.
He was embarrassed to accept Chen Mingxiang's things, but he felt it was not easy to ask for things to be given to others in front of others by borrowing flowers and offering them to Buddhas!
"Of course, we are good friends. As long as Mr. Ono needs it, how can I disagree? In this way, next time I will send two boxes of red wine." Chen Mingxiang was very happy.
"Thank you. Please come with me to the dormitory first. There are two friends there to introduce to you. Please come with me!" Ono was very happy.
Lieutenant Colonel is not a low-ranking military officer, and Ono also has his own exclusive dormitory. When he opens the door, there are two rooms inside and outside, as well as a toilet. The living room is covered with wooden floors and tatami mats, and two people are talking.
There was tea, Japanese cigarettes and an ashtray on the small low table, as well as some pieces of paper and a map. When the two people saw Ono Zhongsao and Chen Mingxiang, they stood up and waited for introductions.
"Chen Sang, let me introduce to you. This is Colonel Hashimoto, the captain of the Twelfth Air Force of the Second United Air Force. This is Lieutenant Colonel Kinoshita, the staff officer of the United Air Force. Please take a seat." Lieutenant Colonel Ono said.
When Chen Mingxiang entered the door, he took off his shoes, sat on a mat, and bowed to both of them. This is the habit of Japanese people, who always bow.
"Chen Sang, I often hear Ono talking about you. Those bastards in the Army are always making things difficult for the Marine Corps. Thanks to your help, you also purchased a large amount of tung oil for our Navy. You are our true friend." Colonel Hashimoto said.
"This is a gift that Chen Sang brought for the reception, high-quality cigars and Bordeaux wine. Each of you take a few boxes, and I will send the rest to Major General Matsushie," Lieutenant Commander Ono said.
"You should be busy. The three of us are here to drink tea and cigars. We will carry out a mission in the middle of next month. We have been busy for more than three months. It is difficult to relax like this. I will stay at your place tonight. I have some time.
Chat." Lieutenant Colonel Kinoshita said with a smile.
Chen Mingxiang knew at a glance that this was a map of a mountain city, with many areas marked in Japanese, which were probably key areas for bombing.
The three of them did not talk about any military-related topics. The Japanese officers were still very vigilant. Although they did not think that Chen Mingxiang was in danger, their instinct still made them avoid such content.
But one detail also betrayed their arrogance and contempt. The military maps and documents were just put aside in a package without being put away. Even if these things were shown to Chen Mingxiang, would he understand them?
Lieutenant Colonel Ono first moved a box of red wine to the kitchen for use at the reception. Another box was given to the commander, Major General Matsue, and half a box of cigars.
He also said that it was a gift brought by Chen Mingxiang at the reception, but he believed that naval officers and soldiers must be strict with themselves and not pursue material enjoyment, and the commander worked hard and made great achievements, so he should be treated specially.
