Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

"Jin Dou, sometimes we have to think long-term. Even though it's easy for us to kill that old guy, we don't even need bullets, we can just use a dagger to do it."

"But even if we kill Gao Jincai, Li Jincai and Wang Jincai coming up won't be of much help in solving the current difficulties of our troops."

"Plus, there are only two of us. We can't take much away. On the contrary, it will alert the Japanese and the puppet army, which is not good for my future plans."

"Now that we have this old guy's leverage, we can use him to buy a lot of things that our base urgently needs."

"Let Gao Jincai go for now. The resources we get from him can completely wipe out hundreds or even thousands of Japanese soldiers. Which one do you think is more cost-effective?"

Obviously Liu Jindou had been persuaded by Kong Hao. Although traitors were hateful, it was not unacceptable if he could kill more Japanese devils in the process.

The next morning, after Kong Hao finished his breakfast, he took Liu Jindou out of the city in a swagger. He now had a special pass, and the puppet army did not dare to check him.

When he arrived at the abandoned village, he found that all the members of the special forces were there, and there was even one more person.

"Captain Kong, why did you come here in person?"

Kong Jie asked excitedly, "Xiao Kong, how is it? How much benefit did you get from this vote?"

"You may not know that when I got the news, I was so excited that I didn't sleep well the whole night. I was just waiting for the daybreak so that we could come and see it together."

"Old Li wanted to come here originally, but I persuaded him not to. The regiment needs to retain talents, otherwise it will be troublesome if there is an urgent mission."

Since teaming up with Li Yunlong, Kong Jie has changed a lot. He is no longer as honest and dutiful as before, and is always looking for something to do.

After all, the crying child gets the milk. If you want to improve the combat effectiveness of your troops, sometimes you have to take the initiative.

If things continue as they were before, the independent regiment's combat effectiveness will not improve at all, and they will still have to bear the label of "dough" and will not be able to hold their heads up in front of the leaders.

"Captain Kong, we have to wait a moment according to the agreed time, but you should not come forward dressed like this. I am afraid you might scare others."

"The person I traded with today is a little special. I will tell you and Captain Li in detail after I return."

Kong Jie’s greatest strength is that he listens to advice, and he generally won’t object as long as it’s reasonable.

Now hearing Kong Hao say this, he also felt that this matter was not simple, and quickly stepped aside.

At about ten o'clock, a long transport convoy arrived at the agreed location. The leader was also from Fujii Trading Company and had to speak fluent Chinese.

This was Kong Hao's special request. It was best to keep a low profile outside the city, otherwise it would be easy to be shot by someone.

But this also made Fujii very satisfied. He was a timid man and would never put himself in danger. It was best to send his subordinates to take over.

After they chatted for a few words, Kong Hao took out another cargo deposit slip and handed it over. Then everyone in the caravan left most of the carriages behind, and the others took a few empty carriages back to the city.

Kong Hao took the opportunity to exchange 1200 kilograms of fat meat and put it in the carriage. The amount of food was also increased by a kilogram, and 500 kilograms of sugar was added.

Fortunately, he had also agreed with Fujii in advance to load less into each car, so now they were all full.

This consumed another 49 merit points. He currently had 721 points left, so he had to spend them sparingly.

After doing all this, he waved his hand back, and more than 40 special forces team members stepped forward and drove the carriage towards the headquarters of the independent regiment as planned.

After the team advanced for half an hour, they met Shen Quan's support troops. Then, under the cover of the Second Battalion, they headed towards the headquarters of the Independent Regiment.

Ever since the nearby Xiaowangzhuang artillery tower was destroyed last time, the Japanese defenders on the artillery tower have lost their former arrogance and basically will not leave the artillery tower.

This was especially true for those artillery towers that were manned entirely by puppet troops. Facing the fully armed Second Battalion, they pretended not to see them and did not even make phone calls into the city.

After all, their lives are their own. If they really angered the troops of the independent regiment, their fate would not be much better than that of the Xiaowangzhuang artillery tower. They would die silently.

Besides, there are no Japanese soldiers monitoring the artillery tower, so you can be lazy if you can. Doing more does not necessarily mean you will get any credit, but doing less will definitely be easy and safe.

It was not until one o'clock in the afternoon that the entire convoy arrived at the headquarters of the independent regiment.

Kong Jie jumped out of the car immediately, asked the regiment’s kitchen staff to start a fire, and asked everyone else in the regiment to help.

Mainly on the way, Kong Hao told him that this batch of goods contained 1300 kilograms of high-quality fat meat, most of which were pork fat and water oil that could be used to make lard, and there was also a kind of fat with skin.

This was something Fujii specially sent people to buy in the market, and Kong Hao also asked the system to exchange it for pork fat according to this ratio so as not to arouse other people's suspicion.

Kong Jie even secretly opened the bag and took a look on the road. To be honest, he had never seen so much lard piled up in his life.

But it seemed like it had been there for a few days, which was why he was so impatient. This kind of thing would affect the taste even if it had a little flavor.

Although the soldiers can eat it if it has some taste, who would eat bad food when there is good one?

After hearing the noise, Li Yunlong also came out of the regiment headquarters. He originally thought that Kong Jie was shouting so loudly and was unsophisticated, so he was about to laugh at him.

When he saw the kitchen staff carrying large bags of fat meat from the truck, his cry was even louder than Kong Jie's just now.

"Guard, go to the fellow villager's house and borrow a pot. We need to refine the oil as soon as possible."

"Everyone, put down everything you are doing and go out to collect firewood. Make sure the fire doesn't go out."

"Also, send people to collect everything that can be used to store lard, and then go to the nearby market to buy it, so as not to waste a drop of oil."

This kind of fat is the best nutritional product currently available. One pound can produce six to eight ounces of lard. These 1,300 pounds of fat can produce 1,000 pounds of oil, which can be used to improve the soldiers' food.

Moreover, after lard is refined from fat, the remaining oil residue is also delicious. If used for cooking, the taste will make you swallow your tongue.

At that time, the head of the regiment's cooking squad, Old Sun, was the most powerful person in the regiment. He commanded the regiment's staff to work around, and everyone was very happy to follow his orders.

Soon, the entire regiment was filled with the unique aroma of lard, which made everyone sniff it hard, and they could never get enough.

Of course, there are some brave people who would secretly pick up a piece of oil residue when refining the oil, quickly put it into their mouths, and then keep inhaling the cool air, but they would never spit out the oil residue in their mouths.

Then came the laughter and scolding of Old Sun, as well as the mocking voices of other comrades, and the entire regiment was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Kong Hao went to the independent regiment's material warehouse together to take stock of their gains over the past two days.
