Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"What? There is such a good thing!" Taro Tanigawa's eyes lit up when he heard it. If he could get it, he could just drink some laxatives and have vomiting and diarrhea whenever there was a war. Then he could avoid going to the battlefield without having to find so many excuses.

Moreover, they can resell them to soldiers. As long as the price is not high, the soldiers will most likely buy them. After all, spending a little money can help them avoid going to the battlefield, which is well worth it.

"So, do you want it?!" Ge Xiaoer asked when he saw this. He felt that this laxative seemed to be a good thing for Taro Tanikawa.

"Well, this thing does look okay, but it also depends on the quantity. I can't make the decision for now. Why don't we wait until this transaction is completed, and then we can continue to discuss the rest." Taro Tanigawa coughed lightly to hide his happiness.

Although the stuff was good, he had to let the captain make the decision. After all, the other party wanted to use the laxative to offset part of the money.

So, we still have to discuss it carefully, because that involves money.

"No problem, then it's settled." Ge Xiaoer smiled.

"Um, do you have any laxatives with you? I plan to have someone try it, just in case there are any problems." asked Taro Tanigawa.

He was still a little cautious. What if the other party gave them poison instead of laxative? They would have to go to see the King of Hell.

"Yes." Ge Xiaoer took out a small package wrapped in yellow paper from his arms and handed it to Tanigawa Taro.

"Yoshi, Gesang, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation." Taro Tanigawa was overjoyed and his smile never stopped.

"Well, it's a pleasure working with you." Ge Xiaoer nodded.

"Tanigawa-kun, there is something I need to remind you of." Ge Xiaoer changed the subject and his expression became serious.

"What's the matter?!" Taro Tanikawa frowned when he heard this.

"If your people dare to bully the local people, don't blame us for being ruthless." When Ge Xiaoer said this, there was murderous intent in his eyes.

"Ge Sang, I can guarantee this. We are businessmen. We are different from other troops who enjoy bullying others.
Only doing business to make money can interest us. As for bullying others, if we have that time, we might as well sell two more packs of cigarettes." Taro Tanikawa also responded with a serious face.

Their soldiers have no interest in bullying others. Since entering China, they have never fought a war, let alone bullied others. They have always been doing business to make money.

"That's good." Ge Xiaoer then put on a smile.

"However, since you have reminded me, I have to emphasize it again. Your people are not allowed to attack us until we touch the locals. Otherwise, it will be a fight to the death!" Taro Tanigawa also said in return.

They don't like fighting, but they are still united in some aspects, otherwise they wouldn't cause so much trouble for their superiors.

"Of course. If you don't take action, we won't take action either." Ge Xiaoer said. Didn't the battalion commander send them here just to test this unit?

As long as it is confirmed that this unit will not do anything harmful to the world, the battalion commander will not let them attack this Japanese unit.

"Well, Gesang, I'll leave first. You guys continue to eat. Continue to eat." After taking the medicine, Taro Tanigawa quickly got up and left the room.

"Madam, how did your talk go?!" The puppet soldier waiting at the door hurried forward to ask. He nodded and bowed with a smile on his face.

"You did a good job this time. Keep up the hard work next time." Taro Tanikawa praised.

"It's my honor to serve you." The puppet soldier was very happy and followed Taro Tanikawa downstairs, thinking that he might get a reward this time.

However, he was overthinking it. When he left the restaurant, Taro Tanigawa showed no intention of giving him any reward. He even told him to go on patrol quickly and not to follow him anymore.

"Bah! You stingy guy! I helped you so much, but you didn't even give me any reward!" The puppet soldier looked at Taro Tanigawa's departing back and spat to the side.

Thinking about how he had just stood at the door for so long, he was so angry. If he had known there was no reward, he would have just left.

……

Only Ge Xiaoer and Yu Dachun were left in the box, looking at the leftovers on the table.

"This little Japanese, is he the reincarnation of a starving ghost? He didn't leave any roast chicken for us." Yu Dachun couldn't help cursing.

In just half an hour, Taro Tanigawa had finished cooking all the dishes on the table. He was really impressed.

"Let's order another table." Ge Xiaoer had no choice but to ask the waiter to clear the dishes from the table and ordered another table.

While waiting, Yu Dachun said, "I never thought that the Japanese would actually want to buy laxatives. They seem to have no intention of fighting, and they can even come up with this way to avoid fighting."

"Actually, I didn't expect that this is a laxative. If you take a little, you will have diarrhea for a long time. Not to mention humans, even animals will faint after taking it." Ge Xiaoer also felt a little emotional.

"I don't know if you noticed just now, but when the Japanese soldier heard you talk about the effects of the medicine, he was obviously very excited." Yu Dachun recalled Taro Tanigawa's performance.

"I noticed that. This is the first time that the Japanese soldier showed this kind of expression." Ge Xiaoer nodded in response. Since they started talking to Tanigawa Taro, the other party had always remained calm. It was only when he talked about the effect of the laxative that he became obviously not calm.

"Based on the current situation, this group of Japanese devils does not pose much threat to us." Yu Dachun said. If what Taro Tanigawa said before about letting the people go is true, then it is likely that it can explain the situation of this Japanese army.

"Well, it's a good thing." Ge Xiaoer said.

After waiting for a while, the waiter brought the dishes and the two of them started eating quickly, wolfing down the food with oil dripping from their mouths.

After they finished eating, the two of them paid the bill. The two tables of food cost a full two dollars.

"It's really expensive to eat outside. It's better to be in the base where food is free." Yu Dachun couldn't help but sigh as he walked out of the restaurant.

"That's true, but it's expensive for a reason. The taste is still good. The braised pork and roast chicken are delicious." Ge Xiaoer tapped the shredded meat on his teeth with his fingers.

"Hurry up and find other people, we have to leave the city." Yu Dachun urged.

.........

On the other side of the Japanese army camp, after Tanigawa Taro came back, he immediately went to the office to find Oki Ichiro. "Tanigawa-kun, what's the situation? Why did the discussion take so long?!" Oki Ichiro asked hurriedly, because this was about their money.

"It's all settled. The other party plans to buy all the daily necessities from us. I quoted them a price of five thousand dollars." Taro Tanikawa replied quickly.

"Well, Tanigawa-kun, you did a great job. Immediately ask the troops from other counties to gather the daily necessities over there and be ready to exchange the money for the goods!" Oki Ichiro was very happy and kept praising.

The supplies here in the county are not enough, and they need to be combined with supplies from other counties. Moreover, the supplies distributed to other soldiers have probably not been sold yet, so it is a good time to collect them and sell them all at once.

In this way, they can make some profits and the soldiers can also make money. It is a win-win situation.

"Hi!" Taro Tanigawa nodded quickly, but did not do it immediately.

"By the way, tell me the whole process. Also, how is the gun issue going? Does the other party want to buy it?!" asked Oki Ichiro.

He wanted to know what Taro Tanigawa talked about with the other party.

"Captain, when I went there..." Taro Tanigawa began to recount the conversation during their meeting, and when he doubted the other party's identity, Oki Ichiro interrupted him.

"Baga, you idiot, you guessed it so you guessed it, why point it out?! Our goal is to make money. Who the other party is is none of our business!" Oki Ichiro started cursing.

He was so angry. If the other party just left because of this, wouldn't they have to spend more time to exchange the supplies in their hands for money?

"Captain, it's my fault!" Taro Tanigawa quickly admitted his mistake. In fact, he regretted it very much at that time and thought that he should not have delved into the other party's identity.

"Forget it. At least the deal has been made. Remember this in the future. Just talk business and don't worry about the other party's identity. This is not your business. Do you understand?" Oki Ichiro did not blame him, but instead gave him instructions.

After all, the cooperation was not messed up, so there is no need to pursue it further.

"I understand. I will definitely remember it next time!" Taro Tanigawa made the promise. No matter how big the matter was, it was not as important as making money for them.

"Well, go on." Oki Ichiro gestured to Tanigawa Taro to continue.

"Hi!" Taro Tanikawa nodded and said, "As for guns, they also plan to buy them, but they want to use some medicine to offset part of the money."

"What?! Use medicine to offset the money?! What a joke, do we still lack medicine? They are the ones who lack medicine." Upon hearing this, Oki Ichiro asked back.

Their army has a lot of good medicines, so there is no need for other medicines.

Speaking of medicines, he remembered that every soldier had a small medical bag containing medicines, sulfa drugs, and hemostatic drugs. It seemed that these could also be sold for money!
"It's a laxative. After taking it, people will suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, and the body will be weak for a few days. As long as our superiors tell us to fight, we can take some and we won't have to go to the battlefield." Taro Tanigawa quickly explained the function of the medicine.

"Are you sure?!" Upon hearing this, Oki Ichiro immediately felt that this was a good medicine. After all, they always found excuses every time they went to war.

They forgot to bring ammunition, the crowbar to open the shell box was missing, the guns were lost, and even a bunch of people pretended to be sick. They made all kinds of excuses, and the higher-ups were extremely dissatisfied with them.

If they had this kind of medicine, they would not have to go to the battlefield with a clear conscience in the future, and how could the higher-ups be dissatisfied with them?

"That's what they said. I don't know if it has such a good effect. By the way, they also gave me a packet of samples. How about you try it, Captain?!" Taro Tanigawa quickly took out the laxative wrapped in yellow paper.

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying? What do you mean by let me try? Why don't you try?" Oki Ichiro almost laughed out of anger.

Taro Tanikawa quickly shut up. He didn't dare to try it. What if this thing was poison? He would die after trying it. That would not be good.

Ooki Ichiro took the medicine from Tanigawa Taro and then opened the paper.

Looking at the powder on the paper, he fell into deep thought for a moment. Who should he ask to test the medicine? !
We can't let soldiers test the drugs.

"Captain, how about letting the Imperial Army try out the medicine?! Add some medicine powder to the water, and then give it to a soldier of the Imperial Army to drink. Then send someone to keep an eye on him and record his situation. That would be enough." Taro Tanigawa came up with a good idea.

Since we can't let our own people test the medicine, then let the Imperial Army try it. If it's poison, then they die, and it won't be their fault.

"Well, this is a good idea. Find a chance to do it. Be careful about the dosage. I feel if you put too much of this stuff, people might die." Oki Ichiro agreed decisively and gave instructions.

Although he had no good feelings towards the Imperial Army, he couldn't kill them for no reason.

"I understand." Tanigawa Taro nodded and continued, "Captain, if this laxative is really effective, I think it can help them offset some of their money. What do you think?!"

"Well...it's not impossible." Oki Ichiro agreed decisively.

"After we get this batch of laxatives, we can sell them to the soldiers, so we can make a small profit." Taro Tanikawa couldn't help but smile when he said this.

"Tanigawa-kun, you are smart, but you have to take out some of the laxatives for people to test.
If this is poison, we are all done for, so we should be more careful, after all, we don't know what the other party is like." Oki Ichiro said seriously.

He didn't dare to gamble his life easily. If he lost his life, how could he make money?

"Don't worry, Captain. We will definitely have someone test the medicine." Taro Tanigawa responded. When the time comes, he will continue to let the soldiers of the Imperial Army test the medicine. As long as those soldiers of the Imperial Army are not dead, they can sell the medicine to the soldiers.

"That's settled then." Oki Ichiro also made the decision!
"Captain, who are these people who are looking to do business with us? I feel they might be from the Eighth Route Army. After all, this unit is short of supplies." Taro Tanigawa couldn't help but guess the identity of the people who were buying supplies.

"No matter who they are, it's none of our business. We just need to continue. We are doing business with ordinary businessmen, not with the Chinese army." Oki Ichiro said seriously.

They could sell supplies, but if they were accidentally accused of collaborating with the enemy, they would be dead. The key point was that they might be the one to die, which was even more serious.

"Hey!" Taro Tanigawa shut up immediately after hearing that.

"Remember, don't let others know what you said today. Wait, when you were talking about business later, you didn't let other people be present, right?" Oki Ichiro asked.

"No, there were only me and the other party at that time!" Taro Tanigawa replied. He was naturally very clear that the content of the conversation could not be known to outsiders.
