After smoking half of his cigarette, he slowly said,""I heard that you're looking for me for something. Tell me, what is it?"
"These days, our brothers have been earnestly doing everything you instructed us to do. We have done everything you said. But now that the weather is getting colder and colder, our brothers haven't seen oil for a long time. I hope we can have a meal of meat.”
Li Hongjian, the president of the Labor Union, looked at Liu Chuan and said in a deep voice.
"A meal of meat?"
Liu Chuan said as he threw the cigarette butt on the ground,""You have more than thirty thousand people. How much meat do you need to eat for a meal? Even if each of you has two taels of meat, this would still require six thousand catties of meat.
One pig weighs 200 catties, but you have to eat 300 pigs. We don't have 300 pigs. You're just a group of captives. It's already a blessing that you can fill your stomachs with three meals a day. You're so beautiful ~"
Liu Chuan said indifferently.
"But if you don't eat meat for a long time, no one's body will be able to withstand it.”
Li Hongjian said in a deep voice. He had expected Liu Chuan to reject him before he came, but he did not expect Liu Chuan to reject him so directly. As expected, a traitor was more ruthless than a devil.
"Can't hold on? That was simple. He just had to drag them out and fight for a few days.”
Liu Chuan said casually, as if he didn't care.
"If your body can't take it, don't blame us if you can't complete the production task you gave us.”
Li Hongjian looked at Liu Chuan and said in a deep voice.
Liu Chuan looked at it seriously and pondered for a moment before saying,""We can't afford pork. We don't have the money for 300 pigs. However, I have an idea. It depends on whether you do it or not.”
"What method?"
"I can't afford pork, but it doesn't mean I can't eat meat. In Weishan Lake, Zhaoyang Lake, and the rivers around Xuzhou, there were many yellow dishes, loaches, and all kinds of fish.
You can pick out a group of people who know how to swim and fish. I allow you to go fishing in the lake and river under the watch of the imperial army every once in a while. If you agree to this method, you might be able to drink some fish soup.
"But if you're unwilling, then I have no choice. If you want me to buy pork for you, don't even think about it. I don't have the spare money to spend on you.”
Liu Chuan said slowly. Sometimes, there were things that had to be done. Just like this, Liu Chuan also wanted to buy some big bones and pork from time to time for them to eat.
But could this thing be bought just because it was said to be? If you treat them too well, will the Japanese not suspect your motives? The Japanese were all around him. If he was not careful, he would lose the game. This was the situation that Liu Chuan was facing now, so he had to be careful with every step and every word he said.
Li Hongjian pursed his lips and said,"Sure, but we need tools."?
"Don't worry, I'll arrange the tools for you."
Liu Chuan stood up and left. What happened just now gave him some inspiration.
Sitting back in the carriage, he looked at the time and ordered the carriages to rush back to the division headquarters. There were some things that he could use to his advantage.
When they arrived at the division headquarters, it was noon. It was time for lunch. Eternal Turtle Shiro had not eaten yet, and the kitchen was still cooking. However, it was already time for lunch.
Seeing that Liu Chuan had arrived, Yongsheng Kameshiro asked the kitchen to add a few more dishes. His student had arrived.
Whether it was Liu Chuan's mansion or the old devil's mansion, they were all decorated in Japanese style. Don't ask Liu Chuan why he didn't use Chinese style decoration.
You have to remember clearly, what is Liu Chuan's current identity? The traitors in the eyes of the Chinese were people that the Japanese could trust for the time being. Since they were going to do it, they would do it the whole way. Anyway, it was disgusting. It would be fine as long as they got used to it.
Liu Chuan knelt on the cushion and looked at Yongsheng Kameshiro, who was wearing a kimono, and said with a smile,""Teacher, it's almost noon and you're still here to disturb me. I've troubled you ~"
Liu Chuan used Japanese etiquette. He bowed and spoke fluent Japanese. Those who didn't know better would think that he was a Japanese.
"Hey, we have a teacher-student relationship, so we should be close. Let's not talk about military matters for now, but how can you disturb your teacher in private? It just so happens that an old man like me seems a little lonely. I'm very happy that you can come ~"
Yongsheng Kuishiro waved his hand and said. After a while, a woman in a kimono came in with a tray. Although he couldn't bring a woman along on the battlefield, he was still a little worried.
However, Yongsheng Guishilang was the lieutenant general, and this was not the front line. Naturally, he would gather some Japanese women to serve him. Let me ask you a very simple question. Would you rather have a few burly men serve you, or would you rather have a few beautiful women serve you? There was no need to say anything, right?
"Yanagawa-kun, you're in luck this time. I found a chef from the Empire in Beiping. He's very good at cooking. I brought him to Xuzhou. You have to have a good taste today ~"
Yongsheng Kuishiro said with a smile. Liu Chuan nodded, and the two of them began to eat and drink.
To be honest, Liu Chuan really didn't like to eat this stuff. How could the Japanese's food culture compare to ours? Not to mention the eight major cuisines in the country, even those small cuisines could not be underestimated.
Food culture was really rich and colorful. Moreover, he was from Sichuan and liked spicy food…
However, it didn't matter whether it was delicious or not. Today, he came with something to do, so he ate almost everything in a few bites. This made Yongsheng Guishilang, the little Japanese, smile bitterly and say," You young people are fast eaters, but good food should be savored. It's a waste for Yanagawa-kun to gobble it up like this."
" Teacher, I can't help it. I'm used to it. I can finish a meal in ten minutes. I can't take it anymore."
He spread his hands. He was telling the truth.
"I'm the real Old Luo. I can't eat as well as you young people now. However, why did Liu Chuan-kun come today?”
Yongsheng Guishilang, this old devil, asked slowly while eating side dishes and drinking sake. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
"Actually, I've been thinking about a question these past few days. The empire hopes that our troops in the north and central regions can be self-sufficient and no longer transport resources from the empire. Not only will there be ammunition supplies, but there will also be food supplies.
During the ninth month, I distributed a large portion of the grain tax collected this year to the imperial army. It can be used to feed the thirty-fifth division, thirty-second division, and the current 109th division for half a year.
But didn't Teacher feel that there was something missing?”
Liu Chuan looked at Eternal Tortoise Shiro.
"Missing something? Could it be that someone dared to take the Empire's military rations for themselves?”
Eternal Turtle Shiro's expression became serious.
"Hey, teacher, you misunderstood. How could they dare to take the Empire's military rations for themselves? This time, I sent the imperial army to supervise the tax payment. Even if those officials had ten leopard guts, they wouldn't dare.
Don't you think there's no meat in these grains? The Empire doesn't want to spend more military funds on us and hopes that we can be self-sufficient, but we can't afford to eat meat.
The warriors of the empire were brave, but they couldn't go without meat for long. I do have a way. Not only can it increase our annual military rations, but it can also provide meat for the Empire's soldiers.”
Today's incident with Li Hongjian reminded Liu Chuan that the third step of the plan could not only be done with the guerrillas and the Imperial Association Army. Sometimes, it was possible to think of other methods.
