Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"So, don't choose to provoke the other party before they provoke you, and don't think that the other party is weak and want to earn military merits by using them." Xu Qingfeng reminded again.

He barely had some favorable impression of the Osaka Division, a Japanese army. After all, they did not harm ordinary people like other troops did. For this reason alone, he was able to spare their lives.

"Captain Xu, how do you know so much?!" Chu Yunfei was a little curious. Why was Xu Qingfeng so sure about these things?

"Because I sent people to the county where they were located to keep an eye on them, and they saw everything." Xu Qingfeng did not hide it and said it directly. Of course, he did not say anything about doing business with the Osaka Division.

After all, when doing business with the Japanese, it is best not to let others know, even if it is to determine whether the other party poses a threat.

"I see. No wonder you didn't kill all the devils from the Osaka Division like you did with other devils." Chu Yunfei nodded and said.

When working with Mu Jin, Mu Jin was ruthless in his pursuit of the Japanese, hardly letting any one live. Even if a Japanese soldier died, he would shoot him in the head, completely eliminating the chance of survival.

Now they have positive comments about the Osaka Division, and it seems that what they said is true.

"I don't like the Japs, but this army is enough for me to let them go." Xu Qingfeng stated directly.

He hated the Japanese devils who harmed ordinary people. Fighting on the battlefield is one thing, but ordinary people cannot be harmed. This is the truth, but the Japanese devils don't have this kind of reasoning.

Most of the Japanese devils treated ordinary people as livestock, killing them at will, massacring cities and villages. Why should he let these Japanese devils go?

"Well, based on what you said, the Osaka Division is indeed different from other devils." Chu Yunfei responded.

After everyone chatted briefly for a few more words, someone served the food.

"Captain Xu, I asked chefs who can cook food from other provinces to prepare these dishes. After all, Shanxi cuisine is indeed a bit inferior." Chu Yunfei said with a smile.

There was an abundance of meat on the table, which looked very sumptuous. Most of them were dishes from other provinces, but there were no Shanxi dishes.

"Thank you for your trouble, Captain Chu." Xu Qingfeng was not polite and invited Liu Changshun and the others to start eating.

"I wonder if Captain Xu is married?" Chu Yunfei asked with a smile. In the past, he would not ask such a question.

But now, if you want to establish a good relationship with this Northeast Army, you have to start from all aspects.

It would be best to let the other party marry the daughters of some of our officers and establish a relative relationship. In this way, the relationship between the two sides will be closer.

Even if they cannot win over the other party, they can at least make it difficult for the other party to go against them.

"That's not the case, but I have no plans to get married. The Japanese haven't been driven out of the country yet, so how can I think about love?" Xu Qingfeng naturally understood the purpose of Chu Yunfei's question and said directly.

"Captain Xu, serving the country is one thing, but at least you have to leave descendants for your family," Fang Ligong also said.

"Forget it. If I, a man with a cautious mind, marry a wife and die in battle, leaving behind orphans and widows, how will they survive in this chaotic world? Not only will I not leave any descendants, but I will also ruin other people's lives. I can't do such a thing." Xu Qingfeng continued to refuse politely.

Besides, he really thought so. The precarious life didn't allow him to have such thoughts. Besides, even if he did, he was not qualified enough.

As soon as the words came out, everyone was silent for a while.

"Captain Xu is right. If we don't get rid of the Japanese pirates, how can we have a home?" Chu Yunfei agreed.

Fang Ligong looked at Chu Yunfei helplessly. What the hell are you talking about? You were the one who asked the question first.

"By the way, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was targeted by the Japanese before, and the losses must have been considerable, right?!" Xu Qingfeng changed the subject. He said this on purpose to let the other party know that it would not be easy to have a good relationship with them.

"Captain Xu, don't you have any idea why we are being targeted?" Qian Bojun couldn't help but said directly.

Why were they targeted by the Japanese? It was because Mu Jin used their names to target the Japanese, which not only forced them to cooperate with Mu Jin, but also caused them to be targeted by the Japanese later. Otherwise, they would still be in Fucheng and would not have come here.

There would be no cooperation in paying Mu Jin and others to come and help take over Fucheng. He even had some doubts whether Mu Jin and others did it on purpose.

"Captain Qian, I don't like what you said. It wasn't me who asked the Japanese to target you. Besides, the credit for defeating the Japanese went to your Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

The 358th Regiment was also featured in the newspapers and became famous. The benefits you gained are not worth mentioning compared to the losses caused by the Japanese. "Xu Qingfeng did not indulge Qian Bojun and directly confronted him.

When they cooperated with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, they annihilated so many Japanese devils. Such a great contribution was enough for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to obtain more resources.

Although the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was indeed targeted by the Japanese later, the army had already made preparations. There were losses, but they were not to the extent of serious damage.

"Qian Bojun, please say less." Chu Yunfei started to scold. Why did Qian Bojun always cause trouble for him?

"Commander, I..."

"Shut up." Chu Yunfei interrupted Qian Bojun directly, his face becoming a little gloomy.

"Yes!" Qian Bojun had no choice but to lower his head.

As for Liu Changshun and the others, they were not affected at all and were still eating leisurely. The deputy commander could easily handle this small matter. If a fight was going to happen, they would be the first to start without saying a word.

"Captain Xu, don't mind it. Qian Bojun just spoke too quickly." Chu Yunfei apologized with a smile. Although Qian Bojun expressed their thoughts, they now wanted to establish good relations with Mu Jin and the others. Wouldn't it be more difficult if this happened?

"It's okay. He is right. We are indeed a little unhappy with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. We are wavering in our fight against the devils.

Since the fall of Taiyuan, you have not put up any decent resistance. There have been no major battles. All of the resistance has been by small units, and those small units still have some courage.

"Have you ever thought about fighting the devils in your army? "Xu Qingfeng said with a serious face. He remembered a group of Jinsui troops that he had incorporated before. That group of Jinsui troops did not obey the retreat order from their superiors, but fought with the devils, and suffered heavy casualties. In order to avoid being punished by the army, they chose to leave the army, and finally they could only block the road to steal food.

Although Li Jin did not allow that group of Shanxi-Suiyuan troops to join the special operations company, that unit joined the New 1st Regiment and made many contributions to the New 1st Regiment.

"That depends on the commander's opinion. People like us cannot influence his decision." Chu Yunfei felt a little embarrassed because it was the truth.

"So, this is why we are targeting you. The top management wants to preserve their strength and make money in the future.
The lower-level officers, however, were full of passion and wanted to defend their country.
If you didn't want to take back the floating city, we wouldn't help you even if you begged us on your knees, let alone give us money," Xu Qingfeng continued.

"You should really learn from the Eighth Route Army. Although they lack supplies, they are not lacking in blood to fight against the devils.
All the supplies were snatched from the devils. Facing the devils who were several times stronger than themselves, they were not afraid, but fought against them in their own way.

Why did they fight a guerrilla war?! Because of the lack of supplies, direct confrontation was difficult, but even so, they still fought against the devils and tried their best to cause casualties to the devils.

On the other hand, you obviously have a lot of supplies, but most of those supplies are not used on ordinary soldiers.
Many people are greedy and sell military supplies, weapons and ammunition. Don't tell them that this is not the truth!" Xu Qingfeng's eyes were like lightning, sweeping over Chu Yunfei and the others.

Just a few words made Chu Yunfei and the others feel a little ashamed.

"Many troops are like this, so why are you targeting us?! Besides, our 358th Regiment is not like this." Fang Ligong couldn't help but say that these things were not only happening in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, but also in other troops.

"Well, so you guys are still decent. The improvement of the troop strength is indeed good. But if you alone don't do this, what's the point? Can your regiment match a bunch of people?!" Xu Qingfeng asked back.

The reason why he had a good impression of the 358th Regiment was because Chu Yunfei was still decent and not as corrupt as other troops.

Fang Ligong remained silent. Corruption among officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was a common occurrence. What could they do?

"Captain Xu, let's eat first." Chu Yunfei said hurriedly. If Xu Qingfeng continued to talk, they would not be able to listen any longer.

"Yeah." Xu Qingfeng nodded and started eating.

After this incident, Chu Yunfei and the others were no longer in the mood to eat. If it wasn’t inappropriate to leave immediately, they would have probably left already.

"In fact, it is basically impossible for the Japanese to conquer China. Their current combat effectiveness has begun to decline.

As long as we hold on and don't surrender, the devils will not be able to hold on. A tiny country, even with all its strength, can't beat us." Xu Qingfeng said, he didn't continue to focus on the corruption of the officers of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army.

"That's right. In the past two years, the Japanese have begun to mobilize new soldiers from the country to join the war, which means that their losses are also very serious. As long as the old Japanese soldiers are almost exhausted,

The Japs are completely unable to continue fighting!" Chu Yunfei continued.

Judging from some intelligence they had obtained, the Japs' strength had declined a lot. Of course, even so, the Japs' troops were still stronger than theirs.

After all, the Japs are willing to spend a lot of supplies on training!
"The Japs can only hold out for a few years at most, no more than ten years, before they can no longer hold out." Xu Qingfeng said seriously.

"I heard that the Japanese have been looking for oil in our country, but they have never found it." Chu Yunfei looked at Xu Qingfeng.

"Well, oil is an important strategic material. The Japanese need it for their planes, aircraft carriers, and cars.
The oil production in Japan is not high, and most of it is imported from foreign countries, such as the United States.

They are too dependent on imports for oil. If those countries stop selling oil to them, the Japanese will be in trouble.
Moreover, imported oil is usually very expensive, after all, the price is set by others, so the burden on the Japanese will be very heavy.

Therefore, the Japanese are eager to find new oil to get rid of imports. "Xu Qingfeng repeated what Li Jin had said to Chu Yunfei and the others.

"I didn't expect Captain Xu to know so much." Chu Yunfei was a little surprised.

"It's nothing. It was analyzed by our team leader. I just copied it." Xu Qingfeng responded.

"Captain Mu is really capable. Actually, I want to ask, does our country really have no oil?! I heard that the United States once sent people to survey and said that there is no such thing as oil in our country." Chu Yunfei first sighed and then asked.

He also heard about this from his commander. Since oil is so important, is it true that their country doesn't have this kind of thing? !

"It's hard to say. I think we should have it. Our country is vast and rich in resources. It shouldn't be that other countries have it but we don't.
There is none now, which only means that it is not the right time to find oil, but maybe we can find it in the future." Xu Qingfeng said.

He didn't think that the country would be without oil. How could such a big country not have oil? It's just that it hasn't been found yet.

"That's true." Chu Yunfei also thought so. Since the United States and the Japanese did not find the Japanese, it could only be said that they were not the ones who found the oil, and it would eventually belong to them.

"It's better not to find it yet, otherwise it will definitely be snatched away by the devils. Once the devils have oil, they will no longer need to import it, which will save a lot of supplies.
That would be a disaster for us," Xu Qingfeng said with a serious face.

According to Li Jin, the Japanese spend a lot of money importing oil every year, and it is unknown how much supplies they can buy with that money.

If the Japanese were allowed to get access to oil, the consequences would be disastrous.

"You're right. It's better not to let the Japanese find this thing." Chu Yunfei nodded repeatedly. He didn't want the Japanese to find such an important strategic material as oil.

"The Japanese may have been thinking about occupying other countries and finding oil from other countries to solve their predicament!" Xu Qingfeng continued.

If the Japanese don't find oil here, they will probably invade other countries to find what they need.

"Damn it, if that's the case, doesn't it mean that while the Japs are fighting us, they can still spare some energy to attack other countries?! Are the Japs really that strong?" Fang Ligong couldn't help but curse.

If what Xu Qingfeng said was really right, then the Japanese were really too strong.

"Is it strange?! The Japs had been developing before, especially in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. The Qing Dynasty paid a lot of money to the Japs, which gave them the opportunity to rise!" Xu Qingfeng said.
