Only then did Zhou Changfeng remember that the confidentiality level of the Ming Dynasty's formation of special forces was not low. He was only informed of the existence of the covert "Yiluan Division" because he was the proposer.
Well, for Mu Yu, a mid-level air force officer, it would be strange if he knew about this. In that case, he would have to reflect on whether the Ming army's level of confidentiality was leaked from all directions.
Today's special forces generally refer to special types of units that are different from ordinary arms such as baggage, engineers, chemical defense, and epidemic prevention.
So Zhou Changfeng coughed twice and explained: "This special force is not a special force. What I am talking about is actually a lightly armed force. It is small in number, flexible and well-trained. It is the best of the best."
"Oh, that's it." Mu Yu stared at him, thought for a while, and guessed quite confidently: "According to the experience of suppressing bandits, it is indeed inconvenient for large troops to enter the mountains and they are easily fooled, so it is suitable for Contain and contain it on the outside, and then let such agile elite soldiers chase and intercept it, right?"
"That's right."
"I think it's really appropriate."
"Of course, this is just a tactical guideline, and it may be the key to victory, but in order to prevent the wildfire from burning out and regenerating in the spring breeze, supporting policies must be included, otherwise it will only be dragged out and burned."
"What kind of policy? To attack people's minds and destroy people's hearts?"
Zhou Changfeng, who was smiling, said: "The resistance army is in a difficult environment and has a lot of non-combat casualties. If it relies on itself alone, it will soon lose its combat effectiveness and collapse. There must be external support, such as the local people."
Mu Yu deeply felt the same and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the deep mountains and old forests are not a place for people. Snakes, insects, ants, jackals, tigers and leopards can hardly find a good place to repair. Without the support of others, it will definitely be difficult to survive."
He pondered: "Could it be that we just move the surrounding people away to cut off contact? Then burn down the houses and remove all usable items?"
Hey boy, are you naked as soon as you come up?
Zhou Changfeng, who was slightly speechless, replied: "Well... this is not impossible, but it is more extreme and can easily backfire. On the whole, it is better to eliminate the hostility of the local people, win over them, and then try to instigate people in the resistance army to act as internal agents. "
"Inducing him with benefits?"
"We will make a final conclusion after on-the-spot investigation on how to do it. However, given that Japan's excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes are many and heavy and the people are poor, a small tax reduction and distribution of property should not be bad."
The officers who can participate in the canonization ceremony and banquet are all commanders of an independent unit. Zhou Changfeng is the commander of the 1st Marine Regiment, and Mu Yu is the acting commander of the 20th Light Bombing Detachment, so although their military ranks are "not high" But can participate.
With the exception of these two, most of the officers were colonels and brigadiers.
As a result, these two young men became the most concerned people at the banquet when they talked about how to destroy the resistance army, which made everyone present quite embarrassed, because those members of the Japanese court and cabinet could more or less speak Chinese.
Moreover, Zhou Changfeng and Mu Yu were so interested that they did not notice the looks of others until Nie Quan coughed a few times and glared at them before stopping to eat properly.
After the banquet was over, Nie Quan called the two of them to the headquarters of the Second Army, which was temporarily located in the Army Ministry Building, and then gave the two of them a hard pass.
It's a lovely banquet, and you two guys are talking about wiping out the resistance in public. Isn't this bad for everyone's mood? Don’t you follow the basic rules of knowing etiquette and observing etiquette? Isn't this ruining the image of the royal military officers of the Celestial Dynasty?
The two people were so scolded that they finally left in despair.
Little did they know that this smooth canonization ceremony and banquet were so eye-catching to some people.
The "Land of the Sun", which has been independent since ancient times, has actually surrendered to China.
Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi also received canonization, it was only superficial. After all, the Ming Dynasty at that time had no control over the Japanese Islands, but now it is no longer the same.
Out of a desire for revenge and the purpose of publicizing their own existence, radicals among the defenders of the Turkish army secretly formulated attack plans.
They secretly selected seven people, prepared an 81mm mortar that had been dismantled into parts and a small number of shells, and quietly transported them to the second floor of a hotel about two kilometers away from the Imperial Palace.
The original plan was very simple. When the Ming Dynasty envoy and his entourage entered the Imperial Palace via the Erzhong Bridge, they would launch a rapid fire there, then immediately abandon their weapons and escape, hiding in the vast crowds of Tokyo.
However, in the end, someone was shaken and fled alone in the early morning. He betrayed and reported the situation to several military policemen of the 7th Division who were patrolling nearby.
Eventually, dozens of soldiers, covered by an armored vehicle, surrounded the hotel.
A few minutes before that, a squad of soldiers put on civilian clothes and suddenly broke in. They did not even fire a few shots, and six resistance members were captured on the spot.
The 81mm mortar and supporting equipment are all available - scope, level, range finder, six rounds of 81mm high-explosive ammunition, in addition to some Browning pistols and Webley revolvers.
Because it was unclear whether there were other resistance forces, the Second Army General Office suggested an emergency suspension of the canonization ceremony, but the imperial envoy refused.
As a result, people familiar with the matter were worried, fearing that an unexpected incident would end the ceremony, but fortunately, the canonization ceremony passed without incident.
Zhou Changfeng learned about this when he left the General Soldier's Office. Rather than being afraid, he felt that he had "guessed it right."
"Let me tell you, the group of people who fought desperately before will not disappear overnight. It is expected."
When he returned to the station, a group of military doctors from Nagasaki also rushed from the airport without stopping.
The barrier gate was slowly raised, and two off-road vehicles and three trucks loaded with supplies drove into the military camp.
"Someone come, someone come!"
"Issue notices and briefings and move these things down."
The nearby soldiers slowly crossed their rifles to the side, and then stepped forward to unload the wooden boxes from the trucks one by one.
Seeing Jiang Ning talking to several military doctors, Zhou Changfeng, who was passing by on a motorcycle with a sidecar, stopped the car and walked over.
"...This batch is mainly for September 14th, and there will be supplies shipped by sea later, so there will be no shortage."
"That's good, we're still following the guidance from the 31st edition." Jiang Ning thought for a while and added: "But I read in the newspaper that Nagasaki tried to introduce Yazisan, and the effect seemed to be OK? "
"Indeed, the reduction in the course of treatment for gonorrhea is not significant, but it can shorten the course of treatment for mild cases of gonorrhea by about ten days and a half."
Under the threat of death and strict military law, the high-pressure life has caused officers and soldiers to accumulate a huge amount of negative emotions and pressure. If this continues, it will easily lead to unstable military morale and loose morale.
A very effective outlet is to satisfy primitive physiological needs, and this undoubtedly has both advantages and disadvantages.
Chaotic behavior is very easy to contract the disease. After a moment of fun, the stress disappears, but the pathogens of syphilis and gonorrhea quietly come.
In this regard, the Ming army stationed in Nagasaki had rich "experience", or painful experience.
Before the progress of modern medicine and drugs, the classical medicine of the East and the West lacked the ability to effectively treat syphilis, which is also known as syphilis; gonorrhea was slightly better.
Neither bloodletting nor amputation, acupuncture or herbal medicine can treat Treponema pallidum.
According to statistics, in more than eight years from the beginning of the century to 7910, more than 70% of the Ming troops stationed in Japan were infected with syphilis and gonorrhea, and more than 2,500 of them died or became disabled due to the disease. Due to the development of After reaching the advanced stage, syphilis can cause significant damage to the human body's cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and internal organs.
It was not until 7910 AD that the Germans finally successfully developed the world's first specific drug for the treatment of syphilis. It took a total of 606 trials before it was successful, so it was named Drug 606.
Later, the 914 drug, which was slightly less effective but had greatly reduced side effects, was also developed.
At this point, the rampant Hualiu disease was finally under control, and the officers and soldiers no longer had to worry about venting their anger.
To this day, the Ming army stationed in Nagasaki has accumulated rich prevention and control experience through repeated propaganda and emphasis, word of mouth among officers and soldiers, and centralized control of prostitution.
The various units that make up the Second Army were drawn from all over the country and naturally had no experience or lessons in this area, so in the past half month there have been signs of the spread of willow disease.
To this end, the Ministry of War instructed the Nagasaki garrison to dispatch experienced military doctors and a batch of supplies for reinforcements.
The 1st Marine Regiment was assigned four people. Also arriving were 1,000 brochures on the prevention of willow disease, 200 propaganda posters, 2,000 914 medicines and 50,000 small rubber umbrellas.
"The common prescriptions we use over there are Bixie Fenqing Pills and Smilax Poria Baidu Powder, which are very effective." The leading military doctor, Major, was an old man with white hair and beard. He stroked his beard and said: "If the body is already healthy, some people He recovered in half a year."
Generally speaking, the international mainstream standard is that gonorrhea needs to be treated for 40-45 days and syphilis about 240 days. However, the experienced Ming army stationed in Japan is at the forefront of the world in this regard. The former can almost recover in thirty days, and the latter is also significantly higher than the mainstream level.
Before antibiotics such as penicillin were widely used, it was an unimaginable miracle to reach this level.
All I can say is... Ming Dynasty’s medical science is unrivaled in the world! Now the old military doctor really cures sexually transmitted diseases.
"You still need to pay more attention to this matter. It is too troublesome to treat syphilis, so we must take warning." Zhou Changfeng took out a pamphlet from one of the wooden boxes and started to read it.
The booklet is full of pictures and text, and only has a few pages. In addition to briefly describing several common STDs, some suggestions are also given.
First, it is best to go to a place designated by the army, which is specially managed and the recruited prostitutes must undergo regular physical examinations.
Second, you can also find a fixed partner on your own, but there is a risk of infection due to the other party concealing their physical condition.
Third, it is most inappropriate to go to unknown and informal local places to look for flowers and willows, as the risk of illness is the highest.
Fourth, under any circumstances, it is not advisable to carry a gun directly into battle. A small rubber umbrella is a solid and reliable protection, even if it is not comfortable.
5. Once related symptoms occur, you should not hide them because you are worried about your appearance. You must seek medical treatment immediately for early detection, early treatment and early recovery.
Okay, that's quite thoughtful.
On this night, when Zhou Changfeng was preparing to go to have dinner, Xiao Li came to report that someone wanted to see him.
"who?"
"It's an American. This is a letter from him, saying he sincerely invites you to go out for a meal."
He took the letter and tore it open. Inside was a check for a fixed amount of 500 yuan and a business card.
Phillip Williams?
Ucheved Import and Export Services?
A foreign businessman privately invited the chief officer of the occupying army. What did he want to do?
Zhou Changfeng didn't want to go at first, but he soon swayed, because these days were monotonous and boring, why not go and have a look?
To ensure your own safety, you must decide where to eat dinner by yourself.
So he randomly picked an ordinary Italian restaurant on the map and set off with a squad of guards.
Since it would take some time for the other party to rush over after receiving the news, he just ordered some macaroni to satisfy his stomach.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Phillip, who hurriedly arrived on the second floor, immediately locked eyes with Zhou Changfeng at the window on the left.
"Colonel Zhou, I'm glad you can accept the invitation."
Rather than being happy, it was more unexpected - I had never met him before, but I was invited out for the first time.
This American young man, who looked younger than thirty years old, was wearing a suit and leather tie. He spoke fluent Chinese with a Zhejiang accent. Zhou Changfeng extended his hand to motion for him to take a seat, and then said casually: "There is an old saying in China: 'Nothing goes wrong without going to the Three Treasures Palace.'" So...does Mr. Phillip have anything to do with me?"
Because Zhou was too proactive in accepting the invitation, Philip misjudged the Ming army officer in front of him.
He originally planned to get acquainted with each other for a while, and then slowly test whether the other party was willing to resell supplies together.
"In your country, the income of military officers is not low, but I think money is never too much. Lieutenant Colonel, would you like your wallet to be thicker?"
Good guy, let’s get straight to the point, right? Do I look like someone who does bad things?
Although Zhou Changfeng remained calm, he still couldn't help but doubt himself.
"What do you want? Information?"
Hearing this, Philip waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I have no connection with the country's military. I just want to purchase supplies from your army."
oh?
Zhou Changfeng had previously wondered why there was such a stupid agent, as if he had no brains. He invited himself out openly and openly, as if for free. He turned out to be a second-rate dealer who resold military supplies to make a profit.
"Did you come into this business alone?"
"To tell you the truth, my father ran a company in Seattle. I went to China alone but failed, so I started this business in Tokyo."
In just ten seconds, he thought a lot, and then suddenly came up with a long-term plan.
After chatting happily for a while, the two of them became more familiar with each other.
Zhou Changfeng, who looked as usual, cut a small piece of steak and asked casually: "What should I do if I establish a new company in the United States?"
"The laws are different in different provinces. Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, where are you referring to?"
"Provinces of New Mexico and Tennessee."
Philip, with a puzzled look on his face, wondered: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, you may not know the United States. These two provinces are very poor and not suitable for business."
"I'm just asking." Zhou Changfeng smiled.
Of course it's not business, because it is known that the main manufacturing and processing bases of the Manhattan Project are in New Mexico and Tennessee.
