The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

"Hey, we're... Shit, there's ruins all around, so we can't tell. Anyway, we've captured those two bastards, Matsui Iwane and Asakamiya. Mission accomplished."

At this point, all the war criminals who participated in the Nanjing Massacre have been arrested and brought to justice, and what awaits them will be the players' creative death penalty.

When the tanks driven by Gengwu and Ziwuxian arrived at the coast, they saw the Japanese devils who had surrendered in large numbers and had lost all their fighting spirit. The two men got out of the tanks, looked at each other, and then reached out and clapped their hands.

Geng Wu said with emotion: "You know what, I really feel like I'm fighting against Japan and saving the country."

Meridian smiled and sat next to Gengwu. The two of them admired the sea in the distance and the Japanese fighter planes that occasionally fell from the sky.

This is a rare sea view, which will be hard to see in the future.

On July 15, 1938, the Third Battle of Shanghai ended and Shanghai was liberated.

In this battle, the Volunteer Army and the Japanese Army successively deployed more than 1.5 million troops, and the entire Shanghai was completely reduced to ruins. This Eastern Magic City was forced to withdraw from the stage of history in such a miserable posture.

However, since it has a deep-water port and Shanghai's geographical location, it later developed as a district under Suzhou, namely Shanghai District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province.

Congratulations to Suzhou for becoming the capital of Jiangsu Province in this world line, Nanjing for becoming the capital of Anhui Province, and Hefei for becoming the second largest.

Nanjing: As long as I am in Anhui, you will always be the runner-up. So what if you beat me? Do you understand the value of the word "Jing" in Nanjing?

Hefei: (International friendly universal gesture).

But that is all in the future. The most important thing right now is to deal with the prisoners and repair Shanghai's construction.

The volunteer army captured 300,000 Japanese prisoners. Shanghai happened to need reconstruction, so the task of clearing the ruins and dealing with unexploded hazardous materials was given to these prisoners. This was their atonement, and it was not sad to see them die.

But what the players never expected was that the captured Japanese soldiers were not only obedient, but also worked very hard, as if each of them was caught up in some strange frenzy.

At the beginning, the players thought that every Japanese soldier was a masochist. After being defeated, their collective masochistic attributes exploded. However, it turned out that this was not the case. How could a normal person like to be a masochist? The real reason was the food distributed to them by the volunteers.

The Volunteer Army will distribute rations according to different combat needs, which include sufficient energy and various vitamins to ensure that officers and soldiers have balanced nutrition on the battlefield. But when facing the Japanese devils, damn it, you still want to eat good food? You are so beautiful, go eat canned food!

The problem lies with these cans.

As the major shareholder behind the scenes, Liu Qi purchased some materials that did not need to be produced by himself directly from the Earth in 2025, such as food. After simple processing in the production workshop of the dimensional ship, these foods became various canned foods.

Therefore, the food for the volunteer army was very rich, including canned bread, canned fruit, canned braised pork, canned vegetables, etc. There were more than a hundred kinds of dishes. As long as it could be put into the can, Liu Qi would put it in randomly.

This naturally includes canned rice.

It is the kind of dehydrated rice that can be eaten after soaking in water. It is very cheap.

There are even cheaper ones, which are the expiring and expired canned goods that merchants use to clear their inventory.

You can eat it too. Canned food is very special. As long as it is not bulging and the smell is not disgusting after opening (canned herring is an exception), there is basically no problem eating it. In order to reduce inventory pressure, merchants will not only not charge you money if someone helps them deal with these things, but will also give you money.

It must be the kind of large-scale ones. Let's not consider producers at the level of China National Grain and Oils Corporation for now. There are a lot of small canning factories in various provinces and cities. Their customers are basically local consumers. The output is definitely enough, but they cannot guarantee the accurate clearance of inventory. When Liu Qi said that he could take them all away and relieve their pressure, those bosses regarded Liu Qi as their reborn parents.

Dad, this is our filial piety, please take it all away!

These things are definitely not available in China, but if they are brought to poor areas abroad, the locals will scramble to get them. If they were brought to the Earth in 1938, they would be a luxury for wealthy families.

The improved taste of modern canned food due to the seasonings alone is incomparable to that of canned food from this period.

For example, the taste of Spam luncheon meat in the original can is really...

Imagine luncheon meat that's under-spiced, under-flavored, and has a metallic taste that can't be removed.

Even so, it is still an industrial product, and still a good thing that other countries can only dream of.

The volunteer army had everything they needed, but there was no way to feed the Japanese soldiers well, so all the canned food that was unpopular among the volunteer army was thrown into the prisoner-of-war camp. As for the cooking problem, the Japanese soldiers had to solve it themselves.

Then the Japanese army ate canned rice, canned luncheon meat, and occasionally canned sweet fruit (expired).

Is this heaven for these Army horse shits who are recruiting for an average five cent postcard?

Then think about the crappy life I had led before. If I knew that I could eat such good food by surrendering, why would I fight so hard? Wouldn’t it be better to surrender earlier?

When it comes to eating, any normal person votes with their feet.

Otherwise, why do they say that good food is worth half an instructor? Good food and drink are more convincing than anything else.

While imprisoning these Japanese prisoners, the players had already picked out the officers among them in advance, and then publicly tried them in front of these people, and then killed them all as ingredients for the Jingguan.

This move successfully intimidated other Japanese prisoners and also eliminated the natural "backbone" among these prisoners.

However, humans are social animals after all. In this state, new idea kings will definitely emerge. These idea kings must be people who are active in thinking and willing to express themselves in their daily lives. They have active brains and immediately re-entered the self-thinking mode after leaving the high-pressure ruling environment of the Japanese army.

Any normal person will compare the changes before and after his life to judge whether his life is getting better or worse, and after reaching a conclusion, he will reposition his current life.

Sato is such a smart person. He is very satisfied with his current life. Although he has to work hard to clean up the ruins every day, he has white rice for three meals, canned meat to his heart's content, and even many snacks that are rarely seen in the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese army had very good food before the war, and for a period of time after the war, they were able to get a satisfactory supply by looting in China, but as the war progressed, their food became worse and worse. By the middle and late stages of the Battle of Shanghai (as the Japanese called it), they sometimes could only eat one meal a day, and they ate whatever was available. Many starving Japanese soldiers began to catch rats.

Fortunately, Shanghai is a good place and the rats here are bigger, so at least I can supplement my protein.

But compared with the volunteers, Sato felt that he was no different from beggars. Look at what they eat. If the volunteers were willing to put a few big pots in front of the Japanese positions to cook and let the aroma drift over, it is hard to say what others would do, but Sato would definitely drop his weapon and run over, and would rather die of starvation.

As Sato thought about it, he began to worry. The food for the volunteers was so good, and this was achieved even in such a fierce fighting situation. Did that mean that they had more resources?

Then Sato laughed, thinking that he was such a fool. The Volunteer Army had no shortage of planes and artillery, and even the Empire did not have super heavy artillery. It was natural that such an army could defeat the Imperial Army.

When he thought about this, the idea that the Japanese Empire was invincible was completely shaken, but he did not think about it any further. He was just a war criminal. Why should he care about these things? He should go to bed quickly because he still had to work tomorrow.

But fate is so wonderful. When you want to change yourself, there will definitely be an opportunity. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your subsequent efforts.

When the players discovered the changes in the mental state of the Japanese prisoners, they felt that these people were able to communicate effectively, so they decided to transform them according to the methods used by their predecessors to see if they could train a few Japanese Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Chapter 50: Blood Debt Repaid with Blood

(10,000 words updated! I did it! Where are your votes?)

America, what a white palace.

It is indeed very white, after all, it was modified from a burnt black template (laugh~).

Roosevelt, one of the greatest presidents in American history, was listening to reports from technical officials.

"Our latest aircraft performed very poorly on the battlefield and were practically targets for the volunteer army."

The technical officer who was reporting on his work was talking about the P-36 fighter jet provided to Japan. This thing really couldn't beat the Bf109 and FW190, not to mention the modified version made by players, which was definitely a big beater.

In addition, the United States also provided the Japanese army with equipment including submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles, tanks, etc., or these were purchased by Japan, and the US military wanted to test the actual combat performance of these weapons.

You don’t know until you try it. After trying it, you will be silent.

The light weapons were quite useful and received rave reviews from the Japanese army. The tanks were mainly M2 light tanks, with armor thickness of only a pitiful 5 to 22 mm. They were not enough to face the BT-7 and Type 4A commonly equipped by the Volunteer Army.

What's more, the Volunteer Army's tanks have also begun to upgrade and iterate. Some players have already made T34-85 tanks by hand, but it is currently limited to a small number of equipment. However, the corresponding manufacturing plants have begun construction, and the supporting industrial chain is also busy.

Players have now exploited a system loophole, which is that as long as there is a production line for corresponding weapons in the liberated areas controlled by the Volunteer Army, the price of the weapon will plummet to a very cheap level. So even if it is slower and the production quantity is smaller, as long as the entire industrial chain is opened up, the system mall will automatically solve the remaining problems. Anyway, players don’t need to worry about the weapon configuration on hand.

As for the actual production lines and industrial chains, just take it slow. As long as the system is established, it is only a matter of time before the supporting facilities are improved. Besides, there are players watching us.

After listening to the technical officer's report, Roosevelt calmly said: "The current world situation is gradually developing towards a new world war. The United States must be prepared before the war approaches. It is necessary for us to have technical reserves of advanced weapons. We can slow down, but we must have them when needed."

Roosevelt's attitude was equivalent to tacitly approving the military's idea of ​​sending new weapons to the battlefield for testing, and also allowing a certain degree of foreign trade in domestic products, but the necessary work must not be left behind.

This president, who temporarily brought the United States out of the shadow of the economic crisis, now has authority that no other American president has. He can basically do whatever he wants, but he also knows that the current recovery of the United States is temporary. To completely get out of the shadow of the economic crisis, it still needs a blood-feeding food that can feed the United States.

Nothing is more lucrative than the asset transfer brought about by the European war. This is what the US government before Roosevelt did, continuing to disrupt Europe and making the United States truly bigger and stronger.

As for the isolationist sentiment in the United States, we need to pay attention to it, but we don't need to pay too much attention to it. The people's thoughts can be guided and the enemy's greed can be exploited. Everything just requires the right timing.

Isolated overseas, the United States has plenty of time to wait.

So the United States is an enlarged version of Britain, implementing a continental balance policy across the entire Eurasian continent.

At the same time, in the east of the world, the news that the volunteer army had recaptured Shanghai made all Chinese people excited.

"Shanghai is liberated! Shanghai is liberated!"

"The Volunteer Army won a great victory, capturing 300,000 Japanese prisoners!"

"The Japanese army shed blood like a river, and China's revival is hopeful!"

"Long live the International Volunteer Army!"

This victory was of vital importance to the whole of China. It is no exaggeration to say that from this time on, the Chinese people truly realized that the Japanese invaders could be expelled and that they were qualified to say no to the great powers.

But there are also some strange concerns that the victory of the Volunteer Army will greatly stimulate the Japanese army, allowing them to continue to escalate the war at all costs, making the scale of the war even more terrifying. After all, the Volunteer Army is a "guest army". If they leave one day, then the impoverished and weak China will still face the wrath of Japan. At that time, right? -p

This statement is actually weird, but it makes sense. The Volunteer Army is a guest army, and its full name is "International Volunteer Army Sixth Column."

The Kuomintang government seized on this point for propaganda, saying that the volunteer army would only fight for a while and would leave China soon. At that time, our country would have to face Japan on its own. Japan is a powerful country. If our friendly countries are surprised, our life will be difficult. The volunteer army only cares about killing and not burying.

So these people never thought about what they would do if the volunteers did not leave?

How to say it, people will subconsciously ignore the reality they least want to face. The upper-level rulers in the Kuomintang government certainly do not want the volunteer army to compete with them, mainly because they really cannot win.

The Chairman has been very busy during this period, contacting foreign powers, including Britain, France, Germany, the United States and the Soviet Union.

The content of the communication was not complicated. I just hoped that the great powers would support me as the only legitimate government in China, and that other governments were counterfeit and shoddy products. When the time comes, everyone must help me fight against counterfeiting.

In order to strengthen the relationship between the National Government and other powers, both official and private, the National Government has been spending a lot of money during this period, giving out benefits in real money, for fear that its allies would not understand its friendship.

It’s really gold, that kind of small yellow croaker.

These are all the people's hard-earned money that they sucked blood from, and they just gave it away for nothing. Fuck you!

If the Nationalist government was not reactionary, they would not be destroying the Kuomintang. However, it is still questionable how much effect these golds can have. After all, it has happened more than once that Western politicians took the money and then broke their promises. Only the idiot Chairman thinks that he can win over some people by doing this.

What a joke, conversations between strong people are considered to be winning over each other, while promises made by the weak to the strong are called filial piety.

Since it is a gift given to me as a gift, if I take it and don’t acknowledge it, what can you do to me?

For the great powers, the cost of breach of contract is absolutely zero. Even after multiple breaches of contract, it can trigger the outbreak of the Nationalist government's masochistic nature, and it will lick the boots even more thoroughly.

At this time, Apple fans stood up and said, "Are there no real heroes in our party and country?"

Yes, for example, people with the surname Guo, Qian, Li, Hu, Xiong, Shen, and Chen. They are all pillars of the party and the country. At least they can ensure that if the chairman does not make any mistakes, the national army will only lose tens of thousands of people instead of losing 800,000 people.

From this perspective, the Chairman is indeed a peerless hero. The last person who dared to lose like this was Fu Jian, the third generation of the Han-style group of the Former Qin Dynasty.

The sound of gunfire in Shanghai has temporarily stopped, and the game has not released any new tasks for the time being. However, there is a notice saying that the new world created by "Age of War" has entered the normal operation process and does not require a major version update. Next, new areas and tasks will be opened through task guidance. The countdown is thirty days. During this period, everyone can freely explore the surrounding areas, but if you leave the liberated area too far, various buffs will be gone, including discounts in the system mall.

If you want to enjoy the discount, the method is very simple, just build a highway or railway.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa, we don't have a war to fight. This is so boring."

"If you're bored, come and farm with me. We need people to build the road over there."

"I'm not interested in building roads. Forget it. I'll take some people out to fight guerrilla warfare."

"Count me in as one of the guerrilla fighters!"

"Forget it. I prefer farming."

"Farming +1."

In this way, the players of the farming and berserker types were temporarily divided into two groups. One group worked hard to make the liberated areas better and expand to the surrounding areas, while the other group acted as guerrillas to cause trouble for the Japanese.

"It's strange, why is there a red dot here? The Japanese army can't be coming from the southwest."

He Shigeng, who was strolling around Xuancheng, noticed a red dot on the tactical map in the upper right corner of his vision.

Although I don’t know what the red dot is, since there is a red dot, there must be a player.

When the update comes, join the hunt!

"Get on the tank!"

He Shigen is now a platoon leader, so he can use NPC officers to form an extra squad. Players don't feel bad about using these NPCs who read the bar and wait for resurrection after death, so when going out on a mission, this is basically the configuration, but the number of people is not fixed. After all, some NPC officers must be left to command the local troops composed of conscripts. These veterans are the flesh and blood of the players, and they are reluctant to lose any of them.

They exchanged for a Panzer IV Type A tank on the spot, and then six people boarded the tank and advanced towards the target location.

"Listen up to me, spit out what you ate from me, hand over what you took from me. Don't think that you can occupy my land just because you have the support of those red-headed people. The volunteers are far away, but I am right in front of me!"

The local rich man who was shouting had barely finished his words when an explosion was heard nearby. Six of his own lackeys with guns were killed on the spot, and several others were wailing on the ground, clutching their wounds.

The local rich man was stunned by the sudden artillery fire, and the villagers fled in all directions. Then, a tank with the Volunteer Army flag drove in front of the local rich man.

"It turns out they weren't the Japs, they were the Homecoming Corps."

He looked at the local rich man in front of him with even more disdain. It was obvious without thinking that he was a "victim" of the Volunteer Army's land distribution movement.

This group of returning home corps is worse than beasts. The evil deeds they have done in history are too numerous to list. Many of their processes have to be muted by using "beep beep beep" just to describe them. Compared with their actual operations, R18G can only be regarded as "Pleasant Goat", and it is a castrated version after being reported.

"Kill them all!"

At the command of the next moment, the Type 4A tank began to shoot at the lackeys brought by the landlord.

These people usually just bully ordinary people. When faced with armed forces of the tank level, they had no choice but to beg and run away, and soon they were killed everywhere.

"With such little ability, you dare to come to the liberated areas to cause trouble? You must be tired of living."
