Chapter 392: Sell more stuff to the Japanese army! Next, Cun Yunsheng began to think about how to help the Japanese army survive. After all, he still needs the Japanese army to hold back the US military. And so far, the number of casualties in the US military is not many. It's not a little worse than expected. After pondering for a long time, Cun Yunsheng didn't even think of how to help the Japanese army. "What do you think the Japanese army lacks most right now?" Cun Yunsheng, who had no thoughts, asked Meng Fangli at the side. Meng Fangli, who was confused by the question, looked at the other party in confusion, not knowing what he meant. What does the Japanese army lack most now? What do they lack?

I really don’t know. "What I mean is, what does the Japanese army lack? Let's send them some supplies. No, we should sell them some supplies to help them improve their strength and continue to consume the US military." Cun Yunsheng stated his purpose. It was nothing more than thinking that the Japanese army could hold on. Otherwise, if the Japanese army is gone so quickly, then the next step will be to lose its use value. Hearing this, Meng Fangliao thought for a while, and then said slowly. "It's nothing more than resource supply, right?" "Huh? That's right. Japan is an island country that is short of resources, especially oil resources." "The Nanyang region is relatively rich in oil resources, which will help the Japanese army establish a stable oil mining and transportation system in Nanyang." Cun Yunsheng nodded and agreed with the other party's view. Especially Kalimantan, where oil production is still very abundant. So what he has to do is to increase mining efforts, increase oil production, and organize a specialized transport fleet to ensure that oil can be continuously produced from the production area. Then sell it to the Japanese army, so as to ensure that the Japanese army has sufficient fuel for its warships, aircraft, vehicles, etc. in various battlefields. Ensure the mobility and operational sustainability of the Japanese army. Mainly the Japanese combined fleet must ensure that they have enough fuel to continue fighting. In addition to oil, there are mineral resources. It is rich in copper, iron, tin and other mineral resources. Then your own mineral mining and smelting factories can convert these mineral resources into raw materials for weapons and equipment needed by the Japanese army. For example, iron ore produces more steel, which is used to make tanks, warships, guns and other weapons; copper is used to make bullets, artillery shells and other ammunition parts to improve the Japanese army's weapons and equipment production capacity and ammunition supply level. It's just that I can never come forward for these things, so Anjia is a good choice. They have cooperated with the Japanese army many times, and both sides still have a good foundation. Coupled with the last bazooka rocket launcher, the Japanese army experienced the advantages of this weapon.

Presumably the Japanese army should start to imitate them, but with the production capacity of the Japanese army, they may not be able to produce too many for a while. If you want to inflict greater damage to the rice beast, you can only rely on him. Thinking of this, the corners of Cun Yunsheng's mouth raised slightly. Everything I did was for General Stilwell. Otherwise, when MacArthur reaches Nanyang, Stilwell will have nothing to do. For General Stilwell, I was really heartbroken. After so much self-comfort, Cun Yunsheng naturally felt happy. "Well, in addition to mineral resources, we can also provide support in other aspects, such as food. I remember that many Japanese soldiers can only eat one rice ball a day, which is really too little." Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but shake his head. Although he wished that the Japanese soldiers would starve to death more, it would be more appropriate to let them go shopping with the US military directly. "Are you still going to support them with food? No, you're selling food." Meng Fanlian asked in surprise. "Of course, we can't eat all the food anyway, so we might as well sell some. Don't look so surprised. The Japanese army can't fall yet, otherwise we won't be able to use it." Cun Yunsheng patted the other party's shoulder. "I guess I don't need to say more about this, right?" Hearing this, Meng Fangli fell silent immediately. He knew what Cun Yunsheng meant, so he acquiesced. At this time, although Nanyang is not a traditional main food-producing area, it can still increase food supply through various ways. For example, a large number of farmers were previously organized to carry out large-scale agricultural development, reclaim more farmland, and plant crops suitable for the local climate, such as rice, cassava, etc. Especially cassava, the yield of this thing is very high, it is definitely an excellent food to feed the Japanese army. Anyway, the Japanese soldiers can eat grass, so what’s wrong with eating more cassava? Isn’t this stuff much more delicious than grass? In addition, the fishery resources in Southeast Asia are used to develop fishery production and make canned fish. Although it is not as good as canned beef, it is definitely much better than the canned beef offal produced by the Japanese army in the later period. After all, this thing can provide rich protein. As for whether the thorn will get stuck or not, it has nothing to do with him. If there were no herring here, Cun Yunsheng might have asked them to try canned herring. These are material support that can ensure the Japanese army's protracted operations. But compared to these, Cun Yunsheng felt that the Japanese weapons were weapons. In particular, the army's weapons should be updated. Now the production capacity of his arsenal has begun to gradually increase, and he can appropriately provide some weapons and equipment to the Japanese army. For example, bazooka rocket launchers, mortars, etc. increased the firepower of the Japanese army.

Because compared to the firepower of the US military, the firepower of the Japanese army is not generally weak. The two sides are not on the same level at all. Therefore, he plans to expand the export of artillery next. The Japanese army couldn't afford heavy artillery. For example, mortars could be sold more. In fact, there are many things that can enhance the Japanese army, such as the Japanese army's communication technology, which improves the confidentiality and stability of its communications so that the Japanese army can better coordinate operations during operations. Forget about the so-called theoretical tactics, the Japanese army doesn't need them at all. He still felt that the Japanese army's pig surprise tactic was quite suitable. Beyond that, it’s intelligence. Fortunately, Cun Yunsheng had a lot of information about the US military. As for the specific military deployment, he didn't know. But he can still provide general information, such as weapons and equipment, as well as the numbers and strength of each unit. He is still relatively clear. In addition, fortifications were built on some islands, especially some key islands and strategic points, so that the Japanese army could establish strong fortifications in advance. At the same time, troops should be deployed rationally to form an effective defense system to resist the attack of the US military. It has to be said that the Japanese army still needs to improve a lot. "If you help the Japanese army so much, what will happen if the Japanese army becomes stronger?" Meng Fanglia asked worriedly. "Do you think it's possible? With the little steel production capacity of the Japanese army, how can it compete with the US military? That is to say, the US military is now held back by the European battlefield. Otherwise, if the main force is transferred to the Pacific War, it will be able to push back in one year at most. Japanese army." Cun Yunsheng sneered. If he hadn't known that the strength of the US military was terrifying, how could he have helped the Japanese army improve its strength. "Besides, the Japanese army still has millions of troops. If they are not allowed to fight with the US military, how can we let them surrender alive? Even if we agree, I am afraid the Australian army will not agree. They hate the Japanese army even more than we do. No, it should be said that the level of hatred is no less than ours." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said. "Okay, don't be afraid of this or that. Just be careful and no one will know. Everything will be done by the An family. Even if they are found out, it will have nothing to do with us." Seeing Meng Fanglia's hesitant expression, Cun Yunsheng said again. "Come on, can I ask why?" Meng Fan was really curious. He always felt that Cun Yunsheng had always been hostile to the US military. wrong! It should be that they look down upon the US military. "Nothing, everything is profit. How can such a big piece of Nanyang be given away to the US military so easily? Are you willing?" Cun Yunsheng did not answer, but asked instead. Hearing this, Meng Fangli couldn't help but be startled, thought for a while and shook his head. "Not willing to give in." "If you don't want to, then the US military will not be able to let us get it easily, so we have to let the Japanese army deal with the US military more. When the strength of the US military is weakened, Stilwell will rely more on us and at the same time provide us with assistance. It will also increase." Cun Yunsheng patted the other party's shoulder and said happily. "You have to know that the US military gives us the smallest share of aid to its allies, and all of this aid needs to be repaid." "We have held back so many Japanese troops, and we haven't seen the US military give us any more assistance. On the other hand, what about the British? They tried all kinds of tricks on our expeditionary force, but in the end they still received so much assistance." "Boy, you have to know that everything I do makes sense. I believe you will understand it in the future."

"Yes, take a seat." Meng Fan took a deep breath and responded immediately. … On the other side, on an isolated island in the Pacific, Japanese commander Major Yamada stood on a dilapidated bunker, staring at the rough sea in the distance. His face was full of fatigue and worry, and behind him were a group of soldiers with equally solemn expressions. The war has entered a stalemate, and the Japanese army's material shortage problem has become increasingly serious. The shortage of ammunition, food, and medicine was like a heavy shackle, tightly restricting their actions. The once arrogant Japanese army is now in deep trouble. Major Yamada recalled that a few months ago, the Japanese army was still galloping wantonly in this area of ​​​​the sea, quickly occupying one island after another with its powerful military power. But as time went by, the . military's counterattacks became more and more fierce, while the Japanese supply lines became riddled with holes under the constant attacks of the . military. "Your Majesty, Major, we have very little ammunition left, and the food can only last a few days." A lieutenant officer reported worriedly. Hearing this, Major Yamada frowned. He knew that if the material problem could not be solved as soon as possible, they would not be able to continue to compete with the US military. It's just that since they were thrown to this island, it seems that the base camp has forgotten them. Yes! Just forgotten. No more ships came. In the past, supplies were delivered once a month. As a result, it has been two months now and no ship has been seen. This made Major Yamada a little worried. Could something be wrong? Thinking of this, Major Yamada summoned his officers to discuss countermeasures. Everyone sat in front of an old map, and the atmosphere was heavy and depressing. "We must find a way to obtain more supplies, otherwise we will not be able to persist." Major Yamada broke the silence. "But, Your Majesty Major, we don't have ships, so it's difficult for us to obtain supplies from the outside world." said a captain officer. "Then let's find a way from the island." Another officer suggested, "We can organize the soldiers to hunt and gather and find as much food and resources as possible." This proposal was approved by some, but also questioned by others. "After all, the resources on the island are limited, and hunting and gathering also require a lot of time and energy. We may not be able to wait until the time of harvest." "Then we will attack the US military transport fleet." Major Yamada said decisively, "Although this is very dangerous, it is our only choice at the moment." Everyone was silent for a moment, and then nodded in agreement. They knew this was a big gamble, but they had no way out.

"But we don't have a boat." Someone whispered. Attacking the transport fleet is indeed a good idea. But the prerequisite is that they have a boat. And if there is a boat, they can leave here themselves. "You can use cut trees to build rafts." Someone suggested again. As a result, he received a lot of looks. A raft as a boat? Do you think you are playing Robinson Crusoe? Are you going to attack the transport fleet? A machine gun can kill them. "Send a telegram to the division headquarters and request material reinforcements." Finally, Major Yamada said helplessly. "Hai." In fact, this situation is not limited to the island where Major Yamada is located. The same situation occurs on many islands. That means no one sends supplies. Not that there is no one. But the Navy felt it was not worthwhile. Not to mention the shortage of supplies, the fuel needed by a fleet is a big problem. Weapons and ammunition, as well as food, fresh water, etc. were transported from the mainland. With such a long distance, who will provide the heavy oil needed? It was precisely because of this problem that the Navy stopped delivering supplies. "We are now short of supplies and can no longer waste fuel. There are animals, leaves, etc. on the island. I believe they can survive." Since Mutaguchi Renya's famous saying about eating grass spread, many Japanese generals have tried to let their subordinates eat grass. As it turns out, it's actually pretty good. "Baga, don't you care about those people on the island?" "Hmph, what do you care about? Mi Zhu's warships are wandering around every day, looking for our main fleet. We must have enough fuel to deal with Mi Zhu." As soon as these words came out, everyone shut up. Compared with the minor issue of supplies, the duel with the rice beast battleship is the key issue. "Perhaps we can buy supplies." Someone mentioned weakly.

"Nani?" Many people were confused. Can they still buy supplies? "Recently, a businessman appeared in Xiangjiang. He has a large amount of food and mineral resources in his hands, including providing steel, oil, etc., and even weapons and equipment." The person who spoke before said again. "Nani? Is this true?" "Hai." (End of chapter)
