"It makes sense, it makes sense!"
At this time, Mutaguchi Lian was completely trapped in the mindset induced by Wei Wu.
That is, if the locals say that the rainforest is impassable, then the locals are stupid.
If it were the Japanese soldiers who were as hard-working as horses and oxen, it would be nothing more than a rainforest, not walking on plain ground.
Although the woods are dense and vehicles cannot pass through, it is better to use cattle and horses.
Oxen and horses were used to transport ammunition and weapons, and soldiers only had to carry their own rations.
As for drinking water, is there still a shortage of water in the rainforest?
Cattle and horse feed?
Isn’t there grass everywhere in the rainforest? You can eat it wherever you like.
Mutaguchi Lian, who had never entered a rainforest in his life, also fell into the fantasy of taking things for granted.
The Battle of Malaya has proved that the combat effectiveness of Miying and other ghosts is very weak.
They were vulnerable and had no determination to fight to the death.
You will surrender if you encounter even the slightest difficulty.
Nothing to worry about at all.
As soon as his army passes through the rainforest and enters the Indian subcontinent, those British and American ghosts will surrender.
And he will also receive the honor of conquering the Indian subcontinent, and even be promoted to marshal, fulfilling his long-cherished wish.
What's more, there is also Wei Wu, a logistics expert.
People have already guaranteed that if supplies are insufficient, the Air Force will be called for airdrops.
Now that the logistics are satisfied, what is there to hesitate about?
Just get on it and that's it.
"Great, I will ask people to buy cattle and horses."
Mutaguchi Renya said excitedly.
"Just leave these trivial matters to us. General Muta only needs to prepare weapons, equipment and personnel. We will take care of the rest."
Wei Wu quickly stopped Mutian from buying cattle and sheep.
This was not a sign of kindness on his part, and he was ready to help Mutian share the work.
Rather, whenever it comes to procurement, there is plenty of money to be made.
This kind of money-making job cannot be left to Mutian.
"Really? That would be great."
Mutian had always been a frontline officer and rarely paid attention to the twists and turns of logistics. Naturally, he didn't know Wei Wu's little calculations.
I thought Wei Wu really wanted to help him.
Offer to help him with these chores.
He was still sighing in his heart. It was indeed a logistics division from the Ace Army. The professionalism was just different.
After leaving Mutian, Wei Wu immediately asked his men to buy cattle and horses.
Especially disabled and sick cattle and horses need to be purchased in large quantities.
These cattle and horses are cheap, and he can reimburse the military department in the name of high-quality cattle and horses, which is a huge profit difference inside and outside.
As for the fact that these cows and horses died of illness in the rain forest, it was due to improper management by the soldiers. What did he have to do with it?
Next, Wei Wu ordered a large number of rice balls.
Wei Wu added a lot of salt to these rice balls in the name of preventing them from spoiling.
The consequence of this is that after eating rice balls, soldiers will become thirsty and need to drink a lot of water.
If this was next to a plain river, it might be nothing.
But this is in the rainforest.
There is a lot of water, but it is scattered, and there is not that much flowing river water.
Even if there were, it would not be able to supply 100,000 Japanese troops.
These Japanese troops could only find water sources on their own.
And coincidentally, the Japanese army did not have the habit of boiling water for drinking.
This virtually greatly increases the risk of suffering from malaria, dysentery, cholera, and typhoid fever.
After the food was hooked, Wei Wu started working on medicines.
He purchased a large amount of gauze, anti-inflammatory drugs and "love work", but he was not prepared at all for the prevention and treatment of malaria, dysentery, typhoid and other common diseases in the rainforest.
Instead, they purchased a large amount of medicines to prevent heatstroke.
The reason was that after the Japanese troops entered the subcontinent, they would not be accustomed to the local environment and would be prone to heatstroke.
After being prepared, Wei Wu handed the list to Mutian.
After Mutian saw the list of supplies, he praised Wei Wu for his thoughtfulness.
He actually even thought of the situations he might encounter in combat after entering the subcontinent.
As expected, he is professional.
I have found a treasure.
"Xingxi, Mr. Dongye, you are indeed a professional. With your help, my attack on the Indian subcontinent will be an immediate success. Once I conquer the Indian subcontinent, I will help you apply for first-class merit."
Mutaguchi Lian also said with satisfaction.
"Thank you very much."
Wei Wu looked smiling.
Mutaguchi Lian was also preparing to lead his troops and set out the next day.
Wei Wu asked people to start the storage business overnight.
All soldiers can store their valuables with him.
He would give the soldier a note.
As long as you hold the receipt, you can take away the things stored here.
All the soldiers need to pay is a little rent.
As soon as this business was launched, it won unanimous praise from a large number of soldiers.
Because their combat conditions are usually very difficult, if they have any captured trophies, they are not easy to carry and can easily be lost.
It would be much more convenient if there was a place to store it.
A deposited note is much easier to carry than a large pile of stuff.
Many soldiers, especially those from the Westward Regiment, lined up to store their belongings.
They all knew they were about to enter the rainforest to fight.
It's easy to lose things on your body, so it's better to store them here with Wei Wu and take them out when he comes back.
While they were lining up to deposit their things, a group of Osaka vendors gathered around them: "Hey, brother, I have a good black cloth bag here, do you want one?"
"What do I need a bag for?"
The soldier who kept the things was puzzled.
"You don't understand this, don't you? People in the subcontinent like gold and silver, especially wearing it on their bodies."
"If you kill the enemy, don't you want to collect the loot?"
"Where do you put all this gold and silver?"
"Can't you find a light-proof bag to put it in?"
"Look at this bag of mine. It's strong and not transparent. It's a good choice for holding gold and silver jewelry."
"I have specially asked eminent monks to consecrate these bags. As long as you carry them with you, your military fortune will be prosperous and you will be able to seize a large amount of gold and silver."
"A bag can be used as both a storage item and a talisman. It has two uses. It's so suitable."
"Such a practical bag, isn't it expensive to sell it to you for 50?"
An Osaka vendor said bewilderedly from the side.
"Fifty, that's so expensive." A soldier hesitated.
Fifty can be worth three months of his salary.
But he was a little reluctant to part with it. After all, the bag was really beautiful, soft, velvety, and embroidered with golden lotus flowers.
It looks very high-end.
"This was consecrated by the eminent monk himself. As long as you bring it with you, I guarantee that you can fill it with loot. If you seize a gold ring at will, you will get your money back. Could it be that you can't even seize a gold ring?"
said the vendor.
"Why not, let's do this. I think you are destined. I will suffer a little loss from this bag. I will sell it to you for 40, no more."
"40, that's okay."
The soldier was obviously moved and took out the 40 yuan he had saved to buy a cloth bag.
"Thank you for your patronage."
The hawker collected the money, came to the next soldier, and took out a similar cloth bag: "Brother, I think you are destined. There is a cloth bag consecrated by a monk here, and it only costs 50 yuan..."
Soldier from before: "..."
