Under the instruction of Shinozuka Kazuo, the entire southeast theater was put into operation.
Shinozuka Kazuo promulgated the Southeast War Zone Provisional Ordinance.
Published in accordance with temporary decree.
All expatriates must be fully registered.
All male expatriates over the age of 16 must undergo one month of military training in accordance with the provisions of the temporary decree.
The public statement given is to train expatriates in the ability to defend themselves and protect their property.
After completing the training, the corresponding weapons will be issued.
In order to fish from the marsh, Shinozuka Kazuo even introduced a tax reduction policy.
The temporary decree stipulates that all families will receive tax reductions in proportion to the number of people participating in military training.
After seeing this decree, the expats rejoiced.
Although they relied on the protection of the Japanese army, they misappropriated a large amount of wealth that did not originally belong to them.
Many poor people in the local area have also lived a relatively wealthy life here.
However, the locals have always been very hostile to them.
Sneak attacks and arson occurred from time to time.
Therefore, they urgently need the ability to protect themselves.
In addition, although they live a relatively wealthy life, they also have to bear corresponding taxes.
In the occupied areas, various temporary assessments and taxes were also very heavy.
If it could be reduced accordingly, that would be a great thing for them.
Moreover, military training only lasts for one month.
Nothing can be delayed.
Therefore, the expats were extremely enthusiastic and there was a long queue at the registration point.
After these people signed up, they were issued military uniforms and weapons and sent to the training camp.
Shinozuka Kazuo's tax reduction policy was very effective. In just ten days, 100,000 foreign residents were recruited.
Now that everyone is here, another problem emerges.
That means there is no training instructor.
The southeast theater is not a training base in the first place, so it is not equipped with training instructors.
I want to mobilize regular troops for training.
But most of them were transferred to form the troops going south.
They were all gathered in Magic City, waiting to board the ship and head south.
The remaining 50,000 people were all piled on the front line to stabilize the front.
Don't dare to move at all.
There is simply no manpower available for training.
Wei Wu rolled his eyes and had an idea.
He directly wrote an official document and outsourced the training work to the security guard.
Let Lao Li train these Japanese expatriates.
In addition to outsourcing, Wei Wu also did not forget to take a hand.
On the bill, the daily meals for each expat are three bowls of white rice, one pound of pork, two pounds of vegetables, a bottle of sake, 100 rounds of bullets, and two grenades.
But in fact, in the hands of the expatriates, each person only has two rations and one dilution every day, and they are all sweet potatoes, millet and rice.
There was no meat at all, and the vegetables were only wild vegetable soup made from some rotten vegetable leaves. There were enough various mushrooms.
The wine and bullets were nowhere to be seen.
As for where they are going, just look at the trucks that drive to the base area every day.
Now, with the help of Wei Wu, many small factories have been established in the base area.
In addition to some weapons and ammunition that can be produced by oneself, some industrial products can also be produced.
The most important of these are cigarettes and alcohol.
These were in short supply in cities controlled by the Japanese army.
Earn a lot of "foreign exchange".
In addition to satisfying the transactions with Wei Wu, he can even purchase some things overseas.
The results are impressive.
Lao Li brought his men to the training camp.
Looking at the neatly arranged group of expats below, everyone felt a sense of absurdity in their hearts.
They were originally opposites.
However, they are now training each other's expatriates.
No matter how you look at it, it has a sense of black humor.
"Teacher, do we really want to teach them?"
A group leader asked in a low voice.
"Teaching is definitely necessary, but if you don't teach well, how can you still teach badly? Teach in reverse according to the situation on the battlefield. Don't teach the ability to eat."
Lao Li whispered.
"clear."
Everyone knew what was going on and headed towards their own teams.
Lao Li walked directly to a group of Japanese expatriates, cleared his throat and shouted: "You are all subjects of the empire. You enjoy the blessings of the emperor. You must train hard and serve the emperor. You must remember what I teach you. "
"On the battlefield, avoiding is a coward's behavior. As long as you act braver than others, the enemy will be scared away."
"So, as soon as the battle begins, everyone must form a dense formation and launch a plank charge."
"Everyone raise your bayonets, charge in tight formation!"
Lao Li raised the long knife in his hand and waved it forward.
"Give me the press!"
"Plate!" A group of expats held bayonets and rushed toward a group of straw targets in a dense formation.
Stab the bayonet in your hand into the target.
In an instant, a straw target was smashed to pieces.
"Accounting, ten targets were damaged during training, and the pre-purchase fund is 300 yen."
After hanging out with Wei Wu for a long time, Lao Li also mastered this set of accounting tips.
When reporting accounts to the Japanese army, this trick was played skillfully.
The purchase price of each straw target increased tenfold.
This kind of charge was trained 20 times throughout the morning.
Lao Li's team alone damaged 200 training targets.
Lao Li earned 6,000 yen with tears and blood.
This is just a small team.
Zooming in to the entire 100,000 overseas Chinese in training, it becomes an extremely exaggerated number.
But no one cares.
Shinozuka Kazuo received kickbacks, Lao Li and others received additional funds, and the overseas Chinese received the military training they thought they had.
Everyone is happy.
Happy times are always short-lived.
When the training reached 29 days, Lao Li recruited everyone.
"Now, we have to conduct the last subject, long-distance march training. Everyone goes to the station and practices boarding the train."
After a month of training, these expatriates learned to obey orders in addition to charging with plates.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he still went to the station under Lao Li's order.
Then, these people were stuffed into iron carriages.
In order to prevent someone from escaping halfway.
After each carriage is filled with people, they will be tied up with wires from the outside.
After reaching the front line, it will be opened by the soldiers on the opposite side.
Under the cover of darkness, these expatriates were transported to the front line by train.
It's just a scam to say that you can go home after a month of training.
After arriving at the front line, they will be informed that an emergency mission has occurred, and they have been temporarily recruited by the empire to supplement the front line.
Everyone has become a soldier of the empire. Anyone who dares to escape will be punished as a defector.
I was executed by firing squad and the whole family was exiled.
Under this situation, even if these expats don't want to, they can only pinch their noses and become cannon fodder.
Otherwise it is death.
As for the so-called tax cuts, they don’t even exist.
How could Shinozuka Kazuo give up the wealth he had acquired?
Now that we are in a wartime state and so many soldiers have been recruited, shouldn't we also increase some tax items to meet the new expenses?
Adding up all the tax items and giving a discount, the new tax payable is even a little more than before.
For a time, the residents of the entire Southeast War Zone were filled with resentment.
