Eighteenth Army Headquarters
"The deputy commander-in-chief, the 129th Division and the 120th Division have reported that most of their preparations have been completed, and they will be completed in one day."
The chief of general staff reported to the deputy general command briefing, "The 115th Division is a little slower, but in two days at most, there will be no problem."
"Hmm." The deputy commander hummed, looking at the plan map produced by Wu Ze, and slammed his fist on the table: "Next, we will wait for Xiao Wu to sort out the situation of the remaining large fortress villages. Clear."
The supplies and food of these large fortress villages together can account for more than 30% of the total fortress villages. If they cannot be dealt with together, I will not be reconciled.
If you want to eat, you have to eat them all.
"For Xiao Wu, there is definitely no question in two days..." The chief of general staff did not finish his words.
Someone quickly came to report: "Report to the leader, Captain Ding of the 28th Regiment is here in a hurry. There is urgent information."
Upon hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of general staff looked at each other and smiled: "Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here."
"Let Ding Wei come in."
"yes."
Ding Wei quickly came in in high spirits and saluted the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of general staff: "Hello, chief."
"Ding Wei, looking at your expression, I have already guessed what good news it is. Give it to me." The deputy commander smiled and extended his hand towards Ding Wei.
"Here." Ding Wei held up the information with both hands.
The deputy commander in chief received the information and quickly took a look. The chief of general staff also immediately looked over.
"Detailed, detailed, so detailed, even the ponds outside Lijiazhuang have been clarified." The chief of general staff was full of praise, "Our think tank is really born to do this job. "
"Yes, with this supplementary part, we are more confident that we can eat all the fortress villages." The deputy commander said solemnly, "We will immediately formulate an action plan according to it. It is already the harvest season. If the delay continues, The workers in the fortress harvest the crops and transport them away."
"Ding Wei, go back to the 28th Regiment and wait for orders." The chief of general staff said to Ding Wei.
"Yes." Ding Wei saluted and said goodbye.
The chief of general staff quickly called in several other important staff officers to help the deputy commander designate a plan of action.
…
Station 23
Wu Ze was looking at the information in Ma Wanpeng's office. Ma Wanpeng died. If Wu Ze wanted to take over, he must also know a lot of Ma Wanpeng's work.
For example, leading the logistics department to do things for the Japanese, you don't have to look at these tasks on the table.
But you must know what methods and channels Ma Wanpeng uses to make money for Pu You.
Moreover, one must know how much money Ma Wanpeng earns for Pu You in a month and how much money he puts in his pocket.
Of course, some people may question whether Ma Wanpeng would leave evidence of how much money he had packed into his pocket in the office?
It doesn't matter if he doesn't stay, Wu Ze is very good at intelligence analysis.
As for checking accounts, it doesn't matter.
Wu Ze quickly found out that Ma Wanpeng was very courageous.
He actually dared to put 70% of the money he earned for Pu You every month into his own pocket, leaving the remaining 30% for Pu You.
Since Ma Wanpeng made a lot of money, even 30% was more than what the previous logistics section chiefs gave Pu You.
Therefore, Pu You was not suspicious.
Of course, it is also possible that Pu You pretended not to know. After all, when something happened to Ma Wanpeng, his Pu You ransacked Ma Wanpeng's house. Wouldn't all the money belong to Pu You?
Wu Ze thought it was the latter, and Pu You pretended not to know.
Otherwise, upon learning of Ma Wanpeng's death, Pu You would have rushed back in person without stopping for a moment.
"Deputy Section Chief Zhong." Li Mu's voice sounded outside the door.
"Chief Li, what's the matter?" Wu Ze asked.
"The stationmaster will be arriving soon. You and I should hurry up and greet him." Li Mu said.
"Oh, okay, okay." Wu Ze put down the information and walked out quickly.
There are railway tracks here on the 23rd, and Puyou came back by train.
Wu Ze, Li Mu and others were waiting on the platform together.
Of course, Kamayu's wife Saki Inoue is also here.
Saki Inoue wore a white cheongsam, which outlined perfect lines, like a spotless lotus.
Her face was bathed in a smile like the spring breeze, without tears or sadness.
It was as if nothing had happened between Ma Wanpeng and her.
In fact, she didn't even look at Li Mu from beginning to end.
"Chief Li, congratulations." Wu Ze whispered to Li Mu.
"Deputy Section Chief Zhong, what do you mean?" Li Mu turned to look at Wu Ze.
"Look at how beautiful and innocent the station elder's wife is now. I can't see any seeds of hatred in her eyes." Wu Zedao, "It seems that she has let go of Ma Wanpeng. In this way, behind her I probably won’t cause trouble for you anymore.”
"I'm talking to Deputy Section Chief Zhong, can you not pick up any of the pots?" Li Mu's expression was cold and his tone was very bad.
So what if Kamayo's wife Saki Inoue has forgotten Ma Wanpeng now, will there be no more trouble for Li Mu?
No, the trouble is still there!
Since Saki Inoue did it the first time to cuckold the webmaster, there will definitely be a second and third time.
As the head of the intelligence section, Li Mu knew that Saki Inoue was cuckolding the webmaster, so he could only continue to help the webmaster cover it up.
But there is no airtight wall in the world. Inoue Saki has cheated too much, and sooner or later her flaws will be exposed.
When the webmaster finds out, he will definitely question himself, the head of the intelligence section.
"Deputy Section Chief Zhong, don't forget that we are grasshoppers on a rope now. If something happens to me then, don't blame me for biting you out!" Li Mu said to Wu Ze.
"Chief Li, it's really pointless to talk to you." Wu Ze pretended to be angry and stopped talking.
Not long after, a train came roaring and slowly stopped at station 23.
Pu You got off one of the carriages and walked over with a hurried expression.
Like a little bird, Inoue Saki quickly flew towards Kamuyo.
Pu You hugged his beloved wife's shoulders, his face full of pride.
Yes, Puyou is proud.
She is in her forties, and our wife is so young and beautiful. It is very honorable.
However, when he walked in front of Li Mu and Wu Ze, Pu You's expression immediately darkened again, mainly staring at Wu Ze sinisterly: "If I find out that you killed Ma Wanpeng, even if your father is Huang Xie Even the 1st Division Commander of the Army cannot protect you!"
Obviously, Ma Wanpeng wanted to kill Wu Ze, and Pu You also knew about it. Pu You might even have secretly instigated this.
"Webmaster, please investigate in detail!" Wu Ze quickly said solemnly: "I believe that the Webmaster will not unjustly accuse a good person!"
"Hmph!" Pu You snorted, then looked at Li Mu: "How are Section Chief Ma's family members being comforted?"
Pu You said this very cleverly. He did not directly ask where Li Mu had driven the people away, but asked for comfort.
As a leader, you have to pay attention to how you speak in front of your subordinates.
"Section Chief, according to your instructions, I have sent them all away. They should be on their way to Taiyuan now." Li Mu replied quickly.
"Well, that's right. Section Chief Ma unfortunately died in the line of duty. We should do a good job for the family members. It's good or bad for them to leave this sad place." Pu You nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go back."
"yes."
The group immediately returned to Station 23.
As for Inoue Saki, she naturally stopped following her, and Kamuyo asked her to go home.
I have to say that this woman is very good at disguise, and there is no flaw in her appearance.
Even if Ma Wanpeng is just a... to her, people have forgotten about Ma Wanpeng, maybe they are thinking about how to give Pu You a second cuckold, and what are they talking about.
Pu You returned to Station 23 and saw that the situation in the logistics department was very stable.
Even the people in the logistics department are working harder than before, and Pu You's gloomy expression has softened.
It seems that this Zhong Ze is not a waste, at least his working ability seems to be no weaker than Ma Wanpeng.
I just don’t know how to make money.
Pu You personally checked the wounds on Ma Wanpeng's body and saw the woman's body. Li Mu also quickly showed Pu You all the woman's information.
Pu You eliminated his doubts about Wu Ze and cursed: "Ma Wanpeng, I really didn't expect him to be such a person. He already has a wife, but he still cheats on someone else's wife. It's almost unjust to die. Thanks to me before And you treat him so favorably!"
Does Pu You really know that Ma Wanpeng likes to fuck other people's wives? Only a fool would believe it.
Pu You is a realistic person, and Ma Wanpeng may be very valuable to him.
Dead people have no value to him. What's wrong with slandering others and using a few words to set off himself?
"In the past, I also advised Section Chief Ma. I told him that if he does this, even if he doesn't care about other people's families, he should at least take care of his own family. But he doesn't listen, and there's nothing I can do about it. Ah." Li Mu said pretentiously.
"Chief Li, you should have told me about this earlier. You have a certain responsibility for Ma Wanpeng's death." Pu You pretended, "As the chief of the intelligence section, you can't just focus on the anti-Japanese elements outside. You also We need to keep an eye on our internal affairs. Many times, internal problems are more threatening than external problems. Look, if Deputy Section Chief Zhong hadn’t been able to quickly stabilize the logistics department, the logistics department would have been in chaos. It’s not good for us, is it?”
Now that it has been confirmed that Ma Wanpeng died accidentally and Wu Ze has the ability to take over, Pu You's attitude towards Wu Ze must be different.
In Pu You's view, people with strong work ability are also very capable of making money.
This is related to your future financial prospects, so you must be harmonious to make money.
"Yes, yes, what the webmaster criticized is that Li Mu must pay attention, must pay attention." Li Mu said quickly.
"Zhong Ze, I was a little suspicious of the tone of your words before, so don't take it to heart." Pu You said to Wu Ze with a smile.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Wu Ze quickly cooperated, "You are the webmaster. Even if I am not wrong and you doubt me, it must be because I did not do well and it is my problem."
Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.
Wu Ze also needs to learn and use Ma Wanpeng's ability to flatter him now.
"Li Mu, look, look, Zhong Ze is so good at talking." Pu You smiled even brighter and said to Wu Ze, "Let's go to Ma Wanpeng's house and have a look. His family must be leaving in a hurry. , something must have been left behind, we have to help them clean it up quickly."
Pu You is going to take Wu Ze directly to the road.
"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Ze nodded and thought to himself, if this Puyou was born in later generations and was not an actor, his talent would be buried.
The group of people arrived at Ma Wanpeng's home, which was a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits. The door had a seal from the Intelligence Department.
Li Mu personally stepped forward and tore off the seal, pushed the door open and stood aside while Pu You went first.
Pu You came in, and then came the Japanese military police from Station 23.
The Japanese military police went in first to search, and then Li Mu and Wu Ze entered.
"Look, this Ma Wanpeng is so corrupt. He even keeps ornamental fish at home. In this era, when supplies are so scarce, it's really abominable that he feeds the fish with food!" Pu You pointed at the ornamental fish in the pond. He cursed bitterly.
"Come on, take all the fish back." Li Mu was already familiar with this kind of thing, and immediately asked people to catch the fish.
"yes."
People who fish for fish don't just use nets to catch them, but use buckets.
It won't do if the fish dies.
These are all sent to the webmaster's home, even if the fish pond in the webmaster's home is already overflowing with fish.
The Japanese military police quickly took out many valuable things from Ma Wanpeng's house, including antiques, jewelry, and a lot of money.
Looking at this scene, Pu You felt happy in his heart, but he cursed: "I can't believe it. Ma Wanpeng is so rich. It seems that I was negligent in my work and my supervision was not good enough."
Pretending to criticize himself, Puyou corrected his attitude: "Take all the property back and seal it up."
"Hai!" the Japanese soldiers responded and filed out carrying their things.
"Zhong Ze, there is an old saying from your ancestors that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. I suspect that Ma Wanpeng's family wealth is more than this. You can search again and see." Pu You said to Wu Ze.
"Yes, stationmaster." Wu Ze responded and quickly took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of underwear.
First, it was too hot today, so I took off my clothes to cool down.
Secondly, Wu Ze didn't know that Pu You was deliberately testing him.
Naturally, Wu Ze had to act extremely polite. Taking off his clothes would show that he would never hide anything.
Seeing Wu Ze entering the house wearing a pair of underpants, Pu You's eyes were filled with admiration: Not bad, this Zhong Ze is quite good at getting things done.
Li Mu looked at Wu Ze like this and said in his heart: This is the second Ma Wanpeng again.
At the beginning, when Ma Wanpeng was tested by Pu You, Ma Wanpeng did the same thing.
However, Ma Wanpeng has no bottom limit than Wu Ze.
Wu Ze at least had a sense of shame, unlike Ma Wanpeng who took off his pants.
Wu Ze observed carefully in the room. In his previous life, before he served as a military attache stationed abroad, he had also done the job of robbing corrupt officials' homes.
The ability of those corrupt officials in previous lives to hide their wealth is really not a boast.
In this era, the ability of these corrupt officials to hide their wealth is completely incomparable to that of later generations of corrupt officials.
With rich experience, Ma Wanpeng's treasure was quickly found.
This is a box. When you open it, you will see a shiny yellow box inside, filled with small and large yellow croakers.
Small yellow croakers are gold bars, and large yellow croakers are gold bricks.
Wu Ze had no intention of keeping this gold privately.
Let’s not talk about whether the little trick of hiding gold in front of Pu You can be hidden from him. We will also raid Pu You’s house later, so why bother now.
One of Wu Ze's arms was injured and he was unable to carry it.
He walked out and said to Pu You: "Stationmaster, I found a large amount of gold hidden by Ma Wanpeng."
A lot of gold?
When Pu You heard this, his eyes flashed with gold for a moment, but he soon calmed down and said, "Take me in and have a look."
"Yes." Wu Ze responded and quickly entered with Pu You.
Pu You looked at the big box containing gold and was immediately elated.
He said to Wu Ze: "Wait for me outside."
"Yes." Wu Ze exited in response.
"Yoxi, yosi, yosi..." Inside the house, Puyou was counting the amount of gold while continuing to feel happy.
"Deputy Chief Zhong, you have really good eyesight. You immediately found Ma Wanpeng's gold for the stationmaster." Li Mu congratulated Li Mu.
"What's there to congratulate? This bastard Ma Wanpeng has been greedy for so much money. My work will definitely be under great pressure in the future." Wu Ze pretended to complain while getting dressed.
"Deputy Section Chief Zhong, there is no need to be humble." Li Mu congratulated again, "I have already seen that compared to the ability of Ma Wanpeng in the past, Deputy Section Chief Zhong is definitely better than him. This kind of work pressure is nothing to you."
"Li Mu, if you have time to make sarcastic remarks about me, why not be careful with the stationmaster's wife." Wu Ze deliberately whispered.
"Aren't you afraid that the stationmaster will hear you?" Li Mu's expression immediately darkened.
The two of them stopped talking nonsense, and Pu You came out of the room again. Although his expression was pretending to be serious, the excitement and smile in his eyes could not be stopped.
"This bastard Ma Wanpeng really deserves to die!" Pu You pretended to curse Ma Wanpeng again, and then sanctimoniously ordered the Japanese military police: "Seal the box in the house and carry it back to me."
"Hayi!" the Japanese military policeman responded, and immediately entered the room and carried the box back.
"Not bad, Deputy Section Chief Zhong, your ability is very outstanding. If you are appointed as the Deputy Section Chief, I think you must have buried your talent." Pu You patted Wu Ze on the shoulder and admired it very much, "From now on, you will be the deputy section chief." He’s the head of the logistics department.”
Wu Ze was still surprised when he heard this.
Pu You directly asked himself to be the section chief, why didn't he act as an agent first?
Wu Ze still pretended to be surprised: "Webmaster, I just came here, is this appropriate?"
"Is there anything inappropriate? I trust my vision!" Pu You said, "Chief Zhong, do your job well, and if you do it well, you will be rewarded greatly in the future!"
"Thank you, stationmaster, for your support. Zhong Ze will definitely serve the imperial army with all his heart!" Wu Ze quickly pretended to show his loyalty.
"Let's go back. I still have to tell you some things about your work in person." Pu You said.
"Yes, webmaster." Wu Ze nodded. He still didn't know what Pu You was talking about at work. It must be at least how much money he had to contribute to him every month.
…
In the evening, Wu Ze met Wang Damao again.
"I can't believe it. This old devil Pu You actually promoted you to be the logistics section chief. This is simply unbelievable." Wang Damao said to Wu Ze in surprise.
This afternoon, Pu You specially summoned all the staff and announced the order.
This made Wang Damao sigh again.
He has been lurking here for almost three years, but he has only become a clerk, and a marginalized clerk at that.
In the logistics department, department members and department members are different.
Some people are section members, but the things they come into contact with are much more important than others.
For example, Wang Damao, he usually supervises the general transportation of grain, and sometimes inspects roads and so on.
Some staff can search for grease or come into contact with emergencies for Ma Wanpeng.
As for Wu Ze, although he came in in the name of deputy section chief, his starting point was a bit higher.
But Ma Wanpeng is difficult to deal with, and at the beginning he wants to avenge Wu Ze and kill him.
If it were Wang Damao, faced with this situation, he would have no other option except to simply take this batch of supplies and return them to the 28th Regiment to end the hiding.
He couldn't be like Wu Ze, who easily killed Ma Wanpeng with a knife in just a few days, and quickly climbed to the position of logistics section chief, even supplanting Ma Wanpeng's position.
"By the way, how much money does Mr. Pu ask you to give him at least every month?" Wang Damao asked again in surprise.
If you want to secure the position of Logistics Section Chief, work ability is not important. What is important is to get Puyou enough money every month.
"You don't have to worry about this." Wu Ze said casually, "Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep. Isn't it just trying to find ways to plunder the traitors? It's just a piece of cake. However, there is something you have to hurry up and do. .”
"What's going on?" Wang Damao asked.
"Send the information back to the headquarters. After they take the Fortress Village, if they can seize the sugar, seal it all and don't touch it. I will be of great use!" Wu Zedao.
"Sugar?" Wang Damao paused and said, "This stuff is classified as a strategic material by the Japanese as salt, and it is precious. Do you want all of it? Even if so many fortresses are captured, the amount of sugar seized is estimated to be very small. many."
"Yes!" Wu Ze said solemnly, "You must state solemnly in the information that you will not use the seized sugar as much as possible and leave it all to me."
Wang Damao looked at Wu Ze suspiciously, "You want sugar, what's the use of it?"
"It's a Japanese plane." Wu Ze said.
"A Japanese plane?" When Wang Damao heard this, he was immediately confused.
Can this sugar fly the Japanese plane?
Shouldn't the Japanese planes be shot with anti-aircraft guns?
Or attack the airport and destroy it on the ground?
Sugar and airplanes are not related at all, right?
"You think the Japanese airport information is so easy to get? Even if you get it, even if you see the defense of Station 23, it will be very, very difficult for our team to attack Station 23, let alone the airport. "Wu Ze said.
"But, but, how can Baitang fuck the Japanese plane?" Wang Damao was still confused.
Wu Ze did not hide it. He knew that sugar was a very valuable material for the 18th Army.
Without explaining the importance, it’s hard to get all the sugar.
"You also saw Station 23. It is an important material transportation station for the Japanese, including transporting oil." Wu Ze said, "The Japanese transport oil. We add sugar to the Japanese oil, and the sugar is mixed with the oil. , once the Japs are added to the plane, the Japs plane will break down quickly. If the amount is right, the Japs plane will stall in the sky and fall directly. Think about it, can this plane still be saved?"
In fact, you can also add sugar to the fuel, but the effect is not as fast as that of engine oil.
This method will actually be nothing in future generations.
Many people who seek revenge on their enemies or unscrupulous repair shops who want to make some unscrupulous money will secretly add sugar to the engine oil of the other party's car.
Engine oil, also called engine lubricating oil.
This function is to relieve friction and high temperature, reduce mechanical wear, and also has anti-rust buffering and cleaning functions.
Once an appropriate amount of sugar is added to the engine oil, the sugar will become sticky when heated, but it will have no lubricating effect.
When the engine runs very fast, it will soon cause the engine to pick up tiles, and may even cause the engine to be scrapped.
"Can sugar be mixed with motor oil to stop a Japanese plane in the sky?" When Wang Damao heard what Wu Ze said, it was like hearing a fantasy.
Adding sugar to engine oil can destroy Japanese aircraft. This is simply unheard of.
"I've told you too much and you won't understand it. Anyway, just note it in the information." Wu Ze said.
"Wu Ze, your method is not effective. White sugar is important to our army, but..." Wang Damao still couldn't digest this shocking news in a short time.
Just relying on sugar, you can kill the Japanese plane. This, this, this... can it be done?
"Don't I know the importance of sugar to our army?" Wu Ze interrupted Wang Damao, "Think about it again, even if we can figure out the airport's defense, how much will it cost to destroy it? Now we can have Why not give it a try to severely damage the Japanese plane at the minimum cost!"
"Wu Ze, if your method is really effective, not only the Japanese planes, but also their mechanized troops and cars can be destroyed, right?" Wang Damao perked up. In addition to the Japanese planes, their mechanized troops and cars can also be destroyed. Need engine oil.
Even Wang Damao's tricycle needs engine oil.
"Let's first find a way to destroy the Japanese planes as much as possible." Wu Ze said, "This guy Pu You promoted me to the logistics section chief in advance. I now have enough rights to have access to the Japanese oil transportation. I have to thank Pu You. "
Of course Wu Ze hoped to destroy the Japanese mechanized troops and cars together.
The Japs are advancing so fast, and the role played by their mechanized troops and vehicles cannot be underestimated.
However, sugar is a strategic material for the Japanese.
After taking down more than 20 fortress villages, the amount of sugar must not be much.
There is not enough sugar, so you can only use it on the edge of the knife, and use it to deal with the biggest threats first.
"Okay, okay." Wang Damao nodded heavily, his eyes full of hope.
This hateful plane always bullies us because we have no air superiority and no anti-aircraft firepower.
Every time they appear, our troops have to pretend to be grandsons and lie on the ground passively being beaten.
Many important actions are affected by aircraft.
Many brave soldiers did not die in the face-to-face confrontation with the Japanese, but were killed by bombs dropped by planes. This is really unacceptable.
If one day, the Japanese plane falls into the sky by itself, what an exciting scene it will be.
