Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

At the Japanese military camp, as soon as Taro Tanigawa came back, he hurried to Oki Ichiro's office. He pushed the door open and went in without even knocking.

"Captain." Taro Tanigawa saluted as he came in, his face full of smiles, as happy as if he had married a wife.

"It looks like he made a lot of money." Seeing this, Oki Ichiro also became happy. If he didn't make much money, Tanigawa Taro wouldn't be so happy.

"Captain, each gun was sold for thirty-two dollars, and there were 100,000 rounds of bullets. We made a few hundred dollars more. I decided to give them a small discount, so the transaction is for 16,000 dollars!" Taro Tanigawa quickly told the good news.

"Yo, great job, Tanigawa-kun!" Oki Ichiro praised and gave Tanigawa Taro a thumbs up.

"We really made a lot of money this time." Taro Tanigawa was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He didn't expect that he would make so much money just after arriving here.

"Don't be happy too soon. We still have to divide the money. But don't let the soldiers know how much we sold.
We will say that each gun was sold for 25 dollars, and the remaining 7 dollars will be distributed among the officers," said Ohki Ichiro.

In this way, in addition to sharing the twenty-five dollars, they can also share the profit of seven dollars.

After all, the money cannot be kept all by one person, as this would be detrimental to the unity of the troops. They can get to where they are today because everyone makes money.

If they go too far, the soldiers will rebel and stop listening to them, after all, their goal is to make money.

"I understand. However, Captain, I think you can charge an extra two dollars for each gun. After all, our initial price was thirty dollars.

If the captain wasn't so good, the other side might have cut two more dollars from the thirty dollars, so the captain should take more!" Tanigawa Taro nodded and suggested, and he said it very beautifully.

"How can this be possible?" Oki Ichiro responded, but he looked up to Tanigawa Taro in his heart.

"Of course not. We are where we are today thanks to the wise leadership of the squadron leader. Otherwise, we would not be able to make money. This is what the squadron leader deserves. If you don't take it, it means you don't consider us as your own!" Taro Tanigawa explained seriously, and his expression became serious at the end.

"In that case, I have no choice but to accept it. Tanigawa-kun, you're very good." Oki Ichiro looked helpless.

"Thank you, Captain." Taro Tanigawa responded quickly. Although the soldiers got less, they still got some money after all.

"Tell me about your business negotiations." Oki Ichiro asked.

"Hey! Captain, that Boss Lu is such a strong opponent. If I hadn't learned the true skills from the Captain, I wouldn't have been able to earn so much money..." Taro Tanigawa recounted the entire process of his bargaining with Lu Changgong!

"Finally, when he was about to leave, I quickly stopped him and only then was the deal done." Taro Tanigawa looked proud. Fortunately, he was smart, otherwise the other party might have run away.

"Well, not bad, not bad. You are not too greedy and don't bet that the other party will stop. This choice is correct.
Although guns are difficult to get, they are not impossible to get. But for us, it is a bit troublesome to sell the guns. If we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait a long time to sell these guns. "Oki Ichiro nodded and praised.

If they were doing other business, they might not care whether the other party left or not, but it was really troublesome for them to sell guns.

The key is to do business with the locals. Few people dare to buy guns from them. What if they think they are really fishing? Once they buy guns, they will be regarded as enemies and arrested and shot.

In this situation, anyone who dares to buy their guns must be dying, so when an opportunity to sell guns comes along, it certainly cannot be missed.

"I thought so at the time. Of course, I didn't think of it as early as the wing commander. It's already pretty good to be able to earn a little more." Taro Tanigawa also agreed.

"You will continue to be responsible for tomorrow's transaction. Remember to bring more soldiers with you." Oki Ichiro reminded.

"If we bring too many soldiers, will the other party misunderstand and think we are trying to rob our fellow thieves?!" asked Taro Tanigawa. He was worried that if he brought too many people, the other party would terminate the deal.

"What I mean is, let most of the soldiers guard outside, and you take a small number of soldiers in to trade. This way, there will be no misunderstanding." Oki Ichiro explained.

Most of the soldiers stayed outside so the other side wouldn't become suspicious, but not all of them went in.

"I see. I thought we had to bring a bunch of people with us to do the transaction." Taro Tanigawa suddenly realized that he had overthought.

"Besides, I'm also worried that they will rob me. If they really do, we can also take our things back." Oki Ichiro continued to add.

After all, the transaction this time involves guns, and the price of hundreds of guns is still very expensive. The possibility of the other party robbing one's fellow robbers cannot be ruled out.

If the other party really took action and they didn't bring anyone with them, wouldn't the other party use three thousand dollars to buy more than three hundred guns and one hundred thousand rounds of bullets from them?

Not only did I not make any money, I even lost a lot of money. How can this be acceptable? I have to be on guard against any possible danger.

"Also, if you bring more people with you, even if the other party wants to rob you, they will cancel the plan. In this way, the transaction will be completed and you can make money with peace of mind." Oki Ichiro continued.

"The captain is really thoughtful!" Taro Tanigawa praised. He put the box down, took out a notebook and wrote down what Oki Ichiro said.

Seeing this scene, Oki Ichiro nodded with satisfaction. It was a good thing to have such a studious subordinate.

Leading the other party to do business in the future can also help yourself.

.........

In the corner of the first floor of Yingchun Building, two men were eating, and their eyes were looking towards the second floor from time to time.

"Lao Liang, these people who negotiated with the Japanese don't look like businessmen. I think there is something fishy. Could they be Japanese spies?!" Zhang Li said in a low voice.

They were intelligence personnel from the 129th Regiment. After learning of the arrival of the Osaka Division, they specially sent people here to investigate the situation. Unexpectedly, they found someone having secret talks with the Japanese.

"I'm not sure. It feels like it's not simple. We're a little too far from here. It will take several days for the news to be transmitted back. It's better for us to keep an eye on these people first." Liang Qi responded.

"Well, that's the only way. But the Japs in this county are indeed similar to what the commander said. They only know how to do business and don't seem to pose any threat." Zhang Li nodded and talked about the Japs in the Osaka Division again.

"Yes, these devils are really the same as merchants. Compared with other devils, the city defense is almost non-existent. They are too lazy.

If they didn't all speak Japanese, I would have suspected that they were locals wearing Japanese military uniforms." Liang Qi also agreed with this statement.

The Japanese in other counties were guarding very strictly, and all the people entering and leaving the city were searched. However, the Japanese in Laiyin County were different, and their defense was very lax.

When their people entered the city, they were not searched at all, so they brought in guns smoothly.

They even felt that if they wanted to capture the county, it would be extremely easy, because they could simply send a troop to lurk into the city, and then cooperate with the enemy from inside and outside to easily capture the county.

"I think we should still be careful and see what the situation is. What if it is a trap set by the Japanese?" Zhang Li believes that we should not be too careless.

At this time, the private room where Lu Changgong was staying opened.

Lu Changgong and his companions went downstairs and quickly left the restaurant.

"Follow them, be natural, and follow them alternately." Zhang Li paid the money and followed Liang Qi out. Liang Qi took the lead and followed behind Lu Changgong and the others, walking neither fast nor slow. He looked left and right, always observing Lu Changgong and the others' movements with his peripheral vision.

"Boss, it seems that there are quite a lot of people in this county town." Ge Xiaoer looked around and assessed the surrounding situation.

"Well, it's okay." Lu Changgong walked into the alley on the right.

Ge Xiaoer and Yu Dachun were a little confused. Aren’t they going to buy bacon? Why were they going into the alley?

"Boss, what's going on?!" Ge Xiaoer asked in confusion.

"We are being targeted." Lu Changgong said as he walked.

"What?!" Ge Xiao'er and Yu Dachun's pupils shrank, and they were a little shocked. Someone was actually targeting them? !
"Are they from the Japanese side?!" Ge Xiaoer asked.

"I'm not sure, just listen to me, in a moment..." Lu Changgong proposed a plan.

Soon, when they reached an alley where the road forked, the three of them dispersed and each walked towards a small alley.

Liang Qi, who was following behind, frowned, not knowing who to follow for a moment. After thinking carefully, he went to follow Lu Changgong, because Lu Changgong seemed to be the important person.

He followed Lu Changgong, but found that Lu Changgong stopped.

"Have I been discovered?!" Liang Qi's heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be calm and planned to walk past Lu Changgong.

Just as he passed by Lu Changgong, Lu Changgong suddenly attacked and slashed at Liang Qi's neck with a knife, intending to knock Liang Qi unconscious.

But Liang Qi reacted quickly, bending his arm to block. The huge force hit his arm, and his entire arm became numb. His body hit the wall next to him. Before he could react, a knife was already on his neck.

"If you don't want to die, don't move!" Lu Changgong said in a cold voice.

"Brother, is there any misunderstanding? I'm just passing by." Liang Qi pretended to be calm, but he was shocked in his heart.

Who is this person and how can he be so strong? If it were someone else, they would have been knocked unconscious before they could react.

"Really?!" Lu Changgong smiled, then put away the knife and quickly hit Liang Qi's neck. At such a close distance, Liang Qi was completely unable to react and was knocked unconscious.

At this time, Yu Dachun rushed over.

"Boss, what you said is indeed right. There is another person behind us. He was knocked unconscious by us and now he has been taken to an old house where no one lives." Yu Dachun told the story.

When they dispersed, he took a detour to meet Ge Xiaoer, and indeed found that there was another person following them.

"Well, help him up and interrogate him carefully." Lu Changgong nodded.

Soon, they arrived at the uninhabited old house with a dilapidated wall and many spider webs.

Ge Xiaoer had already tied the unconscious Zhang Li to a chair.

"Tie this man up too." Lu Changgong ordered.

"Okay." Ge Xiaoer quickly tied Liang Qi to a chair.

Yu Dachun brought a basin of water from the kitchen and poured it directly on Zhang Li and Liang Qi.

"Cough cough..." The two woke up, and when they saw Lu Changgong and the others, they were shocked.

"Hey guys, is there any misunderstanding? Why did you tie me up? I don't have any money on me." Zhang Li sounded panicked and looked very scared, just like an ordinary person being robbed.

"Okay, you two stop pretending. Ordinary people might be fooled by you, but we are not ordinary people. Tell us honestly, who sent you here? Are you the Japanese?" Ge Xiaoer exposed them directly and asked with a gloomy face.

"What are you talking about?! Who sent you?! I don't understand." Zhang Li continued to pretend to be confused.

Want to deceive a few people.

"Boss, these two guys are very stubborn. Maybe they were sent by the Japanese. We might as well kill them." Yu Dachun took out a knife, as if he really wanted to kill the two men.

"Fuck you, kill me if you want, you traitor dogs, I just followed you, what's wrong?! I followed you just to kill you!!!" Liang Qi cursed fiercely at this time.

As soon as the words came out, Lu Changgong and the others were stunned. Were these people not sent by the devils? !

"Boss, what do you say?!" Ge Xiaoer looked at Lu Changgong.

"Let him go." Lu Changgong felt helpless.

"We are not traitors. Believe it or not, don't follow us. Otherwise, I will not be polite." Lu Changgong said as he stepped forward to untie Liang Qi.

Ge Xiaoer also untied Zhang Li.

Judging from the situation, these two men don't seem to be people sent by the Japanese. Otherwise, when they heard that they were going to be killed, they would have been impatient to say that they were the Japanese and asked them to show mercy.

Zhang Li saw this and couldn't help but exchange a glance with Liang Qi. What was going on?!
"Okay, you can go now." Lu Changgong threw the rope on the ground.

"You, are you really not traitors?!" Liang Qi couldn't help but ask.

"If I were a traitor, you would have been dead by now, or I would have sent you to the devil's place.

Also, your tracking skills need to be improved, they are a bit weak." Lü Changgong couldn't help but comment on the latter part. Although the two's skills were okay, they were still far from being able to track him.

"Then why did you want to contact the Japanese?!" Zhang Li asked. He also felt that something was not right.

These people don't seem to be spies.

"Do business with them, buy supplies, forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you so much, this group of devils is different from other devils,
Don't attack them unless they harm the people. They just don't like fighting, but that doesn't mean they can't fight!" Lu Changgong warned.

After saying that, he turned around and left with Ge Xiaoer and Yu Dachun.

Only Zhang Li and Liang Qi were left, both of them looking confused.
