Squadron Leader Yokoi handed the phone to Lin Sichen: "Oda Ichiro, our captain asked you to answer the phone."
Lin Sichen took the phone, put it to his ear, and pretended to say: "Captain Watada, this is Ichiro Oda. I did not try hard to stop Captain Yokoi. I am responsible for this..."
Facing Lin Sichen's words, Watada Daqi immediately felt a sense of irony in his heart.
Even Yokoi Shino drove an armored vehicle to force his way in, who could stop him? You're still pretending!
Watada Daqi didn't want to listen to the other party's nonsense, so he interrupted directly: "Oda Ichiro, the military situation is urgent now, can you help repair the bridge?"
"Captain Dutian, the bridge in the defense area is broken. As the top person in charge of the Licun stronghold, it is my unshirkable duty to repair the bridge." Lin Sichen said with sonorous words, "I will immediately issue an order to the soldiers and ask them to hurry up. Build bridges and restore open roads."
Watada Daqi was a little stunned after hearing this. The other party didn't want money?
Watada Daqi still took the opportunity to praise and said: "Oda-kun, I am very happy that you have such an awareness. Then you should seize the time to build the bridge."
"Yes, Captain Watada." Lin Sichen responded, and then handed the phone to Captain Yokoi, "Captain Yokoi, here it is."
Captain Yokoi was listening to the phone next to him. He still didn't believe it when he heard that Lin Sichen was so happy to take the initiative to repair the bridge.
After taking the phone, Captain Yokoi said to the inside: "Captain, did I hear you correctly? Oda Ichiro wants to take the initiative to repair the bridge?"
"Stop listening to the nonsense of these Osaka bastards. Just keep watching to see what they are pretending to be." Watada Daqi was very sober.
"Yes." Squadron Leader Yokoi responded.
The call ended, and Watada Daqi put the phone back on the stand.
He did not leave, but continued to wait by the phone.
Whether Oda Ichiro really wanted to help build the bridge or not, Yokoi Shino quickly figured out.
"Kodera-kun, why are you still standing there? The bridge has collapsed, so hurry up and have it repaired. Captain Yokoi's reinforcements are still waiting to pass." Lin Sichen gave an order to Kodera-kun.
"Yes, captain." Kodera Kuma nodded and immediately led the people to dig out rocks and cut wood.
Seeing this scene, Captain Yokoi couldn't help but point to some buildings in Li Village stronghold and said: "Oda Ichiro, don't we have ready-made stone and wood? Why do we need to dig and cut it? It will waste too much time."
It would take at least ten days and a half to dig out rocks and cut wood. Who can afford it?
Faced with Captain Yokoi's question, Lin Sichen answered seriously: "Captain Yokoi, these are the private property of our team."
"Can't private property be requisitioned urgently?" Squadron Leader Yokoi said.
"Captain Yokoi, let me ask their opinions for you." After Lin Sichen said this, he summoned some Osaka soldiers and said, "Everyone, you have all seen that the bridge has collapsed and we need stones and Timber, you are willing to contribute the stone and timber of your private houses..."
Before Lin Sichen finished speaking, the soldiers shouted:
"For the war of the empire, we risked our lives to come to this land. We have contributed our lives. We are also asked to contribute our houses. The empire must have some limits!"
"I'm not such a selfish person. I have tens of millions of rooms in Guangzhou, and I am willing to contribute them all to the empire! I will do what I say! My loyalty to the empire is evident! I only have this one room now, I'm sorry, I need it."
"Didn't you say that after this war is won, all of us will live a good life? This is how we live a good life, and we still need to contribute?"
…
The soldiers were so excited that Lin Sichen helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said to Captain Yokoi: "Captain Yokoi, you saw it, this is the attitude of the soldiers."
"Humph, you bastards are not loyal to the empire at all!" Captain Yokoi immediately thought of this sentence, but he did not say it out loud.
In any case, we still need to rely on the other party to build the bridge, and we can't talk nonsense.
Captain Yokoi is not that rigid. It is not easy to cut the stone, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
We can fish out the rocks from the river and reuse them.
As for wood being washed away by water, just replace it with stones.
Therefore, Captain Yokoi immediately ordered: "Fetch the stones from the river immediately."
"Yes." Captain Yokoi's men immediately followed suit.
As a result, salvaging stones is not that easy.
Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, I fished out a few rocks.
According to this progress, it will take at least two days to collect enough rocks.
It takes two days to fish for stones and two days to build a bridge. What is the difference between this and a detour!
"Squadron Captain, we can consider looking for it. Maybe we can find ready-made stones from other places?" the previous squad leader suggested to Squadron Leader Yokoi.
"Then you go look for it quickly." Captain Yokoi heard it right and immediately asked the squad leader to look for it.
As a result, the team leader took the people around and couldn't find a single hair.
"Oda Ichiro, you don't even have a ready-made stone here. Isn't that something wrong?" Captain Yokoi asked Lin Sichen.
"Captain Yokoi, this is wartime. In order to strengthen the defense of our Licun stronghold, I sent people to find all the ready-made stones for use. Is this wrong?" Lin Sichen asked in a serious tone.
"Huh?" Captain Yokoi was speechless for a while, but what he said made sense.
There are no ready-made stones anymore, so the topic comes back again.
Captain Yokoi looked at Lin Sichen: "Oda Ichiro, if the private property of your soldiers is expropriated, what kind of compensation will be required?"
Lin Sichen thought to himself: Hey, you could have just said compensation.
"Let me ask for you."
Lin Sichen pretended to look at these soldiers: "Everyone, Captain Hengjing said that we can compensate you for expropriating your private property. How much do you want?"
The soldiers said sincerely:
"The construction of my house only cost less than ten oceans. Just compensate me for ten oceans."
"My house cost less than twenty oceans, just give me twenty oceans."
"My stones were all transported from far away with great effort. I want a cost price, fifty oceans."
…
When Captain Yokoi heard this, his eyes bulged out!
I have seen sky-high prices, but never such an outrageous one.
You want ten oceans from me for a shabby thatched house!
A house with rotten tiles costs twenty oceans!
The most outrageous thing is that the roof of this half-renovated house has not yet been completed, and you want fifty oceans!
idiot!
You bastards have never seen money!
Why not grab it!
Seeing that Captain Yokoi was about to go berserk, Lin Sichen pretended to say: "Everyone, how can you ask for random prices?"
"Captain, in your opinion, how much should we ask for?" The soldiers looked at Lin Sichen.
Captain Yokoi also focused his attention on Lin Sichen.
