With Wei Wu secretly pushing the situation, the base camp passed the "Plan on Improving the Combat Quality of Imperial Soldiers" after some discussions.
The most important one is to classify mushrooms as military rations.
And special funds have been allocated in advance.
Used for self-purchase in each war zone.
As for the source of this funding, we can only make it harder for the people and add some war taxes.
The tax is already very high anyway, so it doesn’t matter if it is higher.
What? You don’t pay?
Then you are hindering the emperor's grand plans and must be severely punished and exiled.
After all the rebels were exiled to Iwo Jima, all that remained were the voices of submission.
The documents were quickly distributed to various war zones.
Shinozuka Kazuo was very happy after getting the document.
He didn't expect that things actually worked out.
It was smoother than he imagined.
The most difficult level has been solved, and now it's just waiting for Wei Wu to slowly replace the cans with mushrooms, so he can sit back and reap the profits.
Seeing that the plan was about to succeed, Shinozuka Kazuo actually became a little worried.
He had someone call Wei Wu over overnight.
"How is the plan going? Is it going well?"
Shinozuka Kazuo asked worriedly.
When it comes to his future pension, he has to be careful.
"Don't worry, Commander, we are completely prepared." Wei Wu smiled and took out a document and handed it to Shinozuka Kazuo.
"The first batch of mushrooms has been purchased and can be distributed to the troops at any time."
"I suggest that a military exercise be organized immediately in the theater, and that all troops be provided with combat-standard meals, and then take this opportunity to start implementing the mushroom replacement canned plan."
"Xinxi, this plan is very good."
Shinozuka Kazuo is very satisfied with this plan.
Cans are only distributed during battles.
If the troops don't fight, how can they replace cans with mushrooms?
Therefore, the troops must be allowed to fight.
Only in this way can they make profits.
"Very good, I approve this plan. From now on, I appoint you as the commander of the Osaka Independent Transport Brigade in the Southeast Theater Zone. You will be fully responsible for the transportation of mushrooms and cans!"
"As for the troop members, with your current Ninth Regiment as the core, a transport regiment will be formed from various units. Is there any problem?"
Shinozuka Kazuo asked.
"Make sure to complete the mission."
Wei Wu felt happy in his heart.
Although his military rank was not promoted, his position was greatly improved.
He jumped directly from a regiment commander to a brigade commander.
Generally speaking, brigades are temporary independent establishments, and their ranks are only half a level lower than divisions.
In Japan's army sequence, it is the mainstay.
More importantly, his transportation brigade is under the direct jurisdiction of the theater and has great authority.
In principle, he could go anywhere within the war zone without being investigated.
This alone was a great convenience to Wei Wu.
He can take advantage of this to enter and exit the city at will and resell various supplies.
As long as money is transferred to Shinozuka Kazuo's account regularly, Shinozuka Kazuo will not ask anything.
Shinozuka Kazuo quickly signed the order.
Wei Wu left happily.
After getting the order, Wei Wu began to organize his men to pack the mushrooms and prepare them for transportation to various troops.
In each box of mushrooms, Wei Wu also thoughtfully gave a small paper bag and a booklet.
The small paper packet is marked with the Empire's newly developed body-building powder. It is recommended to mix it with mushrooms and eat it with rice.
But in fact, all the bread inside is antidiarrheal medicine ground into powder.
As for the booklet, it was compiled by Wei Wu from domestic experts on how to eat mushrooms.
There are more than a dozen ways to eat mushrooms written above.
Of course, Wei Wu also had private goods in it.
At the end of the book, there is a summary line.
"In view of the Japanese people's long-term eating habits of eating cold food and the characteristics of mushrooms, experts recommend that all mushrooms be eaten cold and raw, which can preserve the nutrients in the mushrooms to the greatest extent."
"It is recommended to mix it with the dispensed body-building powder."
"Note: You will feel excited after eating it. This is a normal reaction. Don't be too alarmed. Just enjoy it."
Distributing the "Food Instructions" one by one into the boxes, the first batch of mushrooms has been loaded into the car.
In order to ensure the success of the plan, Wei Wu personally led the team for the first transportation.
Wei Wu rode on the truck and led the team towards the first target, the Morishita Regiment's station.
The Morishita Regiment belongs to the Fifth Division and is also one of the Class A divisions.
Because of its glorious record, it is also quite arrogant among the Japanese army, and often leaves other friendly forces to work alone.
But because of his excellent fighting ability, even if he got into trouble, he didn't receive any punishment.
This further encouraged his arrogant style.
Wei Wu knew the strength of this army before he came.
"Are you arrogant? Arrogance is good. When the time comes, I will turn you into soft-footed shrimps. Let's see how arrogant you still are."
Wei Wu sneered in his heart.
Because the place where the Morishita Alliance was stationed was not far from Modu, Wei Wu's convoy arrived quickly.
Morishita's camp used civil structures, dug a large number of trenches, and even laid out barbed wire, making it look heavily guarded.
"Whoever is there, stop immediately. If you come over again, we will shoot."
A guard saw Wei Wu's car and raised his gun.
"Baga, I am Higashino Takeshi, the brigade commander of the independent transportation brigade in the southeast theater. I am here to deliver wartime supplies. I will call your regiment commander out immediately."
Wei Wu jumped out of the car and slapped the guard directly.
In Japan, being too affable is not a good thing.
This will make the other person think you are weak and can be bullied.
Becoming more and more unruly, even engaging in various transgressive behaviors, and even developing into subversion.
Therefore, you must use thunderous means to let the other party know your position when they have the slightest clue.
Sure enough, after the slap, the guard didn't even dare to say anything.
He put down his gun, saluted Wei Wu, and quickly ran in to report.
After a while, Captain Morishita walked out of the camp.
He looked at Wei Wu and frowned, but he still saluted Wei Wu first, and then asked: "Why did the personnel change today? In the past, the transportation wing directly under the division did these things, right?"
"Because this time involves some reforms of the army by the empire, a direct transportation brigade was established to be responsible for following up on this matter."
Wei Wu said half truthfully.
After speaking, he called on his men to transport boxes of mushrooms and bags of rice into the camp.
Morishita casually opened a wooden box.
I found that it was full of mushrooms, and my frown deepened.
"Why are they all mushrooms? According to combat regulations, shouldn't they be canned beef?"
"The combat regulations have been updated and will be issued in two days."
"In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, His Majesty the Emperor specifically asked the Imperial Academy of Sciences to conduct research. After tens of thousands of experiments and hundreds of millions of dollars spent, this latest mushroom was finally cultivated."
“Even though it looks ordinary, it is rich in nutrients and has six times the protein content of beef.”
"Especially for men, it has indescribable benefits."
"His Majesty the Emperor knows that you are brave in battle, and he specially rewards you for being the first to try new food?"
"What? Do you want to disobey His Majesty the Emperor's will?"
Wei Wu slapped a big hat on his head.
