Chapter 197 One hundred million? Is it US dollars? No, it’s Japanese yen! (Second update!)
"Sichuan Army Corps? Do you want to buy arms?" Major Nojiri looked at Yuta Inoshita in front of him with a puzzled look.
He had heard that the Sichuan Army had a large amount of fine art equipment, as well as aircraft, artillery and tanks.
Logically speaking, there should be no shortage of weapons.
All they can sell are weapons.
In other words, the Sichuan Army wants to buy rice?
The rice in Siam is said to be pretty good, but they don’t have much money on hand.
There is naturally not a lot of rice that can be sold.
"No, no, no, Major Nojiri, the Sichuan Army Corps is not short of weapons and equipment, but they are interested in something else." Yuta Inoshita shook his head and said.
"Something else? What?" Major Nojiri looked at him in confusion.
What else could it be?
The emperor?
It’s not impossible!
As long as you can afford the price!
If they are not allowed to fight, the Emperor is not unreasonable to sell them.
Thinking of this, Major Nojiri became even more curious about what the other party wanted.
“Well, the commander of the Sichuan Army wants to ask you what the price of Siam’s navy is.” After Yuta Inoshita said this crazy idea, he lowered his head unconsciously.
When he first heard about this mission, he didn’t want to be known by acquaintances.
I was shocked by Cun Yunsheng's wishful thinking.
What a joke.
Buy Siam’s entire navy?
Is this crazy?
All right!
It is indeed crazy.
Major Nojiri was shocked at first, then touched his chin to estimate the price.
It’s not that it can’t be sold.
As I said before, as long as the price is right.
Everything is for sale.
"Huh? It's not impossible, but what price can I pay?" Major Nojiri thought for a while, but couldn't estimate the price.
The main reason is that he does not know what the battleships of the Siamese Navy look like.
If it were based on the battleships of the Japanese Navy, it would be a sky-high price.
But Siam’s navy obviously cannot compare with the imperial army’s warships.
He had seen it when he landed. It was dilapidated and old, and there were a lot of small ships, which he didn't like at all.
What price can these be sold for?
He really doesn’t know yet.
"Ah? Can this be sold?" Yuta Inoshita said incredulously.
"Why can't it be sold? It's not mine?" Major Nojiri looked puzzled. This thing doesn't belong to them, so why can't it be sold?
All right!
Hearing this, Yuta Inoshita instantly felt that he was being hasty.
I am still too timid.
Underestimating the psychology of Osaka vendors.
As long as the price is right, anything can be sold.
“Don’t be in a daze, tell me quickly, what price can you offer?”
To be honest, Major Nojiri is really interested.
Having been a soldier for so long, this should be the biggest business.
If this is completed, it will definitely go down in history.
Even became a legend in the entire Osaka business community.
"Ah..." Yuta Inoshita held out a finger and was about to speak, but Major Nojiri's eyes lit up and he said quickly.
“One hundred million yen? Sri Lanka…”
Major Nojiri became excited instantly. One hundred million yen.
This is a huge wealth.
If this was divided equally among everyone in the Fourth Division, it would be a huge sum of money.
You should know that the highest-ranking general only gets 550 yen per month, the assistant officer gets more than 300 yen, and the lieutenant gets more than 100 to 200 yen.
Two hundred is the navy, and the army is only a little over a hundred.
This is also the reason for the conflict between the two parties.
As for the big soldiers, there are even fewer. The lowest is three yen, which can’t even buy a chicken.
This little money is enough for what you can do.
That’s why for many divisions, after fighting a battle, the first thing they do is burn, kill, and loot.
The Osaka Division looked down upon these, so they specialized in business.
One hundred million yen, on average, each person can get several thousand yen.
Even the smallest amount is one or two thousand yen.
They have been serving as soldiers for ten or twenty years.
I am definitely willing to do this kind of crazy business.
High risks can lead to high returns.
As for the risks?
What kind of business can you do without risk?
On the opposite side, Yuta Inoshita was a little confused.
What he just wanted to say was 100 million US dollars.
Because when leaving, Cun Yunsheng revealed the bottom line.
That means no more than 100 million US dollars.
In the end, the other party only wanted 100 million yen?
All right!
According to the current exchange ratio, one hundred million . dollars is equivalent to more than 400 million yen.
Seeing how excited the other party was, Yuta Inoshita decided not to tell the other party.
One hundred million Japanese troops were so excited.
If this were more than 400 million yen, wouldn't it be crazy?
"Inoshita-kun, is this true? Is it really 100 million yen?" Major Nojiri still couldn't believe it and confirmed again.
“It’s true. As long as we can capture the Siamese Navy, we will offer you 100 million yen immediately.” Yuta Inoshita quickly nodded in confirmation.
“Ishita-kun, you know that if you cheat on me, you will know the consequences.” Major Nojiri asked again.
"Uncle Nojiri, can I lie to you? This is true." Yuta Inoshita said helplessly.
Taken together, the two of them do have a certain relationship.
This is also the reason why he was able to successfully enter the Fourth Division.
"Okay, if you can say this, it means you didn't lie to me. I didn't expect that Siam's navy could be sold for so much money. The Sichuan Army is really rich." Major Nojiri said to himself.
Hearing this, Yuta Inoshita rolled his eyes secretly. He was still too ignorant, and a mere 100 million yen was taken away.
However, he was also surprised by the Sichuan Army's ability to make money.
How long will it take for you to be able to spend 100 million US dollars?
This is a huge amount of money.
Actually, Yuta Inoshita didn’t know that Cun Yunsheng had made a lot of money during this period.
In addition to the deduction of military pay from Stilwell, there were also seized gold, silver and jewelry, as well as money earned through the black market.
Otherwise, why would he be working so hard to make money?
I just want to try to see if I can buy a battleship from the Siamese Navy.
For him, everything has a price, and it depends on whether he can afford the price.
As long as the price is right, it is possible to buy a big fried pie.
After all, you are so poor that you can sell anything.
Especially, when Cun Yunsheng learned that the Fourth Division had arrived in Bangkok, his desire to capture the Siamese Navy became even stronger.
“Uncle Nojiri, do you have a way to capture the Siamese Navy?” Yuta Inoshita asked curiously.
To be honest, Cun Yunsheng gave him a task, saying that it would not exceed 100 million US dollars, and asked the Fourth Division to find a way to sell the Siamese Navy to them. As for how to sell it, he didn't say anything at all, leaving him to figure it out on his own.
He wanted to curse at that time, how the **** could he think of a solution?
If he was so powerful, why bother being a prisoner?
Fortunately, if he can't think of a way, he can leave it to the other party.
Major Nojiri had no doubts. After all, the employer had spent 100 million yen to buy a battleship, so what they had to do was help the employer solve these problems.
This is the excellent quality that Osaka vendors should have.
But before he could think of a solution, he had to ask something else.
“Is the situation in Myanmar very corrupt?” Major Nojiri asked seriously.
Hearing this, Yuta Inoshita was very puzzled as to what this had to do with buying a battleship.
But he still said it honestly.
"It has indeed been irreparably corrupted. There is only one 55th Division left in Myanmar struggling to support itself. The 56th Division has been completely wiped out. The 18th Division and the 33rd Division are attacking Tianzhu. ”
“That means the Allies can take over the entire Burma at any time?” Major Nojiri narrowed his eyes and said.
The Fourth Division will not fight a losing battle.
If it is a must-win battle, maybe you can consider it.
But the enemy is too strong and it is impossible to agree to die.
Even if it is an order from the base camp.
Even if it is the emperor's order, they have to consider whether to implement it or not.
After all, the pride of the Class A Division is that it can refuse the emperor's order.
"That's right, when I came, the Allied forces had transferred the new Indian Army back to Imphal and were speeding up their reorganization in preparation for the attack on Mandalay. The 55th Division was not far from defeat." Yuta Inoshita Said honestly.
Hearing this, Major Nojiri narrowed his eyes and sneered.
“Huh, no wonder they want to transfer us here. They really don’t have good intentions. They want us to go to Burma to be cannon fodder.”
Since the base camp is unkind, don’t blame them for being unjust.
What kind of war should we fight?
Isn’t it good to make money by doing business?
“Uncle Nojiri, how do you think we can capture the Siamese naval battleship?” Yuta Inoshita asked again.
Major Nojiri asked in return.
“When will the Sichuan Army march south to Bangkok?”
"ah?"
"As long as the Sichuan Army goes south to attack Bangkok, I can invite the officers and soldiers of the Siamese Navy to the station in the name of a banquet, and then I can send people to control those warships." Major Nojiri said confidently.
I have to say, this plan is really good.
After all, Siam still relied on the Fourth Division at this time.
They proposed a banquet, and it was hard for the other party to refuse.
Otherwise, it means not giving face to the Japanese army.
Don’t forget, the glorious record of the Fourth Division was even defeated by its own people.
So, in order to take care of the Japanese army’s face, the Siamese Navy would really agree.
The only troublesome thing is that it requires the cooperation of the entire division.
This is not difficult.
As long as Major Nojiri says 100 million yen, everyone will definitely agree.
The only trouble is the credibility of the Sichuan Army.
This is to destroy them all in the name of buying warships.
That would be a loss.
Hence, Major Nojiri looked at the other party seriously.
“Can the Sichuan Army guarantee our safety?”
“It doesn’t matter what you say, we need the signature of the commander of the Sichuan Army Corps.”
This time it was Inoshita Yuta's turn to be completely confused.
So you agreed?
Don’t think about the risks anymore?
But I think of the tradition of the Osaka Division.
There seems to be nothing to consider.
After all, 100 million yen, even if divided equally, everyone would have three to four thousand yen.
It’s definitely a huge sum of money.
"But, the cost of the banquet will need to be reimbursed by the Sichuan Army." Major Nojiri said confidently.
One yard owned by a yard!
They provide plans, but the cost of the banquet must not be included in the 100 million.
Otherwise, you will lose a lot of money.
Shrewd and cunning, this is the true performance of Osaka businessmen.
"Ah? I need to report these, but it should be fine." Yuta Inoshita said uncertainly.
But it should be no problem. After all, Cun Yunsheng's bottom line is 100 million US dollars, and he only spent a quarter of it. The mere expense of a banquet is nothing at all.
"Okay, you can send the telegram here. Don't worry, we are absolutely safe. We are all our own people." Major Nojiri said confidently.
Not long after, Cun Yunsheng received a telegram from Yuta Jingxia.
Meng Fangliao’s first reaction was that he didn’t believe it, it was a lie.
Absolutely cannot be true.
How could there be such a Japanese army?
Only Cun Yunsheng thinks this is definitely true.
After all, only the Fourth Division can do this kind of thing.
“The Fourth Division is still the Fourth Division, it’s still the same young man it once was.” Cun Yunsheng said with emotion.
“Tanzuo, do you believe this is true?” Meng Fangna still felt a little unbelievable.
This is simply nonsense.
Buy a Siamese warship for 100 million yen?
This is nonsense, what is it?
"Why don't you believe it? This is the Osaka Division. They don't like fighting by nature, they just like doing business." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.
"But, is this nonsense? It's so simple? As long as we go south to attack Siam? They can sell us the warships in a package? The only requirement is to promise not to attack them? And then we will make up for part of the banquet fee?" Meng was annoyed? I feel so incredible.
To be honest, Cun Yunsheng wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't known about the glorious history of the Fourth Division.
There is such a weird division?
After all, only the Fourth Division can sell trophies in front of the US military camp.
“Don’t think it’s incredible, it’s actually true. They will weigh the pros and cons when fighting a war. If it is not beneficial to them, they will find various reasons to refuse to send troops.” Cun Yunsheng began to tell Meng the glorious history of the Fourth Division.
As expected, after listening to Cun Yunsheng's popular science, he also fell silent.
My eyes widened, the Japanese army actually has such a weird division?
Hunted to cancel the number?
Change a division commander every year?
Then from the military headquarters to the front army and finally to the base camp.
All right!
It is indeed quite outrageous.
"So what you are saying is that when they learn that entering Myanmar is to be used as cannon fodder, they will refuse to send troops, and if we provide 100 million yen for Siamese warships and guarantee their safety, they will agree to our request. ?" Meng Fangliao asked again.
"Yes, that's what it means, but I didn't expect that I originally wanted to ask for 100 million . dollars, but who knew that it only cost 100 million yen. This Fourth Division really has a conscience." Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh. .
Only Meng Fanlao rolled his eyes. Don’t you know what a hundred million US dollars is?
All right!
In total, the value of the battleship seems to be more important than 100 million US dollars.
At the same time, he also understood why he had been trying so hard to make money during this period.
If they don’t have money, I’m afraid they won’t be able to buy warships if the Japanese army sells them at this time.
“Master, what do you want a warship for? We don’t have a navy.” Meng Fangliao asked in confusion.
"It's not there now, won't it be there soon? And when we go back to fight Leapfrog, how can we do it without naval escort? I'm not used to letting others control my life and death." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.
“So, you agreed to the other party’s request?” Meng Fangliao asked again.
"Why don't you agree? One hundred million yen can buy Siam's navy. It's a good deal. Although they are all old and obsolete warships, they are better than nothing." Cun Yunsheng chuckled.
There is one more update, please wait a moment!
