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

The Fourth Division's favorite thing now is to conduct live-fire training and large-scale tactical live-fire exercises. The amount of ammunition consumed is simply incalculable.

However, the top brass of the 4th Division also understood that too much is as bad as too little, and generally conducted regiment-level exercises, and they did so in turns.

Every exercise is the happiest day for the 4th Division, as it means everyone can make a lot of money.

In addition, there were medicines that were relatively scarce in China, and the soldiers of the Fourth Division tried every possible means to obtain them.

For example, some people deliberately catch a cold and get sick, and then go to the military hospital to get a lot of cold medicine. However, they don't take the medicine after receiving it. Instead, they use their bodies to carry the saved medicine to the market to exchange for money.

There are even some cruel people who injure themselves and go to the hospital to get anti-inflammatory drugs directly, and they often prescribe sulfonamides, the most expensive drugs.

The 4th Division is a permanent division with the highest treatment and the most abundant supplies. No matter how much ammunition and medicine it consumes, the logistics department will replenish it as soon as possible.

This is a business. As for whether these bullets and artillery shells will fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army and eventually be used to kill the Japanese soldiers.

Everyone in the Fourth Division said that it didn't matter as long as they were paid.

As the saying goes: "A friend dies rather than a poor one."

Their Fourth Division rarely went to the battlefield, and at most served as a reserve force in the rear, and it was not their turn to perform general garrison tasks.

There is a saying: "The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish."

After selling an ordinary mortar shell, it can allow a family in their country to live comfortably for a month.

Moreover, the risk of doing this kind of thing is very low, only a fool would not want to do it.

What's more, if such stubborn fools appear in the Fourth Division, they will be quickly squeezed out and sent to the front line to die.

In the Fourth Division, the belief is "The sky is big, the earth is big, and making money is the biggest."

Anyone who dares to stop them from making money will become everyone's mortal enemy, and the fight will definitely end in a fight to the death.

This is what Kong Hao was waiting for. He smiled and said:

"I need five tons of refined pure copper. Can you get it?"

"I know a company that specializes in producing telephone lines. They need a lot of pure copper."

"Big business, it's really a big business."

When Fujita heard Kong Hao's first request, gold coins flashed in his eyes. This kind of prohibited materials was his favorite, mainly because the stricter the ban, the greater the profit.

However, he still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Mr. Jingguchi, I believe you also know that strategic materials such as pure copper are not allowed to be bought and sold casually, and the price will definitely not be based on the market price."

"The price of pure copper is about 1,200 dollars per ton, and 6,000 dollars for 5 tons."

"That's no problem, but I need it urgently. Can it be ready within a day?"

"No problem at all, we have it in our warehouse and can ship it out at any time."

"Okay, then we'll need the things on this list, take a look."

After he finished speaking, he took out a list from his pocket, which was filled with all the supplies he needed.

Fujii took it and looked at it, and saw that it said:

The required materials are: 500 kilograms of nails, 2 kilograms of peanuts, 2 kilograms of soybeans, 5000 kilograms of bacon, 1000 pieces of grey cloth, 2 kilograms of fertilizer powder, 2000 kilograms of kerosene, 500 cartons of cigarettes, 200 pens, 1000 bottles of ink, 1000 flashlights, 1000 pencils, 20 watches, 500 kilograms of salt, 500 bottles of soy sauce, 20 vernier calipers, 20 tape measures, etc.

In fact, this is a list of supplies that Kong Hao specially compiled based on the actual situation of the independent regiment. Basically, they are daily necessities. After all, this is a trading company owned by the Japanese, so it is better to be careful.

Fujita picked up the abacus and began to calculate carefully on the paper.

About 20 minutes later, he raised his head and said with a smile:

"Mr. Jingkou, we have all these supplies in our county, and the total price is 8 yuan."

After hearing this, Kong Hao nodded and said generously:

“There’s nothing wrong with these, and the prices are quite reasonable.”

When Fujita heard Kong Hao was so straightforward, he hurriedly started to promote some sensitive materials.

After all, these materials are basic daily necessities, and he didn't dare to ask for a high price, otherwise the sugar supply channel would be cut off, and he could only earn hard-earned money.

"Mr. Jingguchi, I have some good stuff here, are you interested?"

"Tell me, what are these things?"

Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Fujii quickly said:

"We recently obtained some medical supplies from other channels, such as alcohol, bandages, anti-inflammatory drugs, and some scalpels and hemostatic forceps. I wonder if you are interested in these things?"

When Kong Hao heard these things, he was immediately overjoyed. After laying so many baits, a big fish was finally caught.

It is estimated that these are the medical supplies "saved" by the 4th Division, and it is not easy to sell them, so they found him as a scapegoat.

However, he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "These things are contraband. It is forbidden to sell them. If I accept them, it will cause a lot of trouble. I dare not take this risk easily."

Fujii also understood from Kong Hao's words that the man in front of him was also a veteran in the business world and was just waiting for him to take the initiative to lower the price.

But he didn't care. It was better to sell the things in his hands as soon as possible. As long as there was money to be made, pure businessmen like them didn't care who to sell the things to.

It doesn't matter even if these things fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, as long as they don't hit their Fourth Division.

Besides, if you want to fight against the 4th Division, you also need luck.

"Fujii-kun, of course I'm interested in these things. As long as the price is right, I'll take them all."

"It just so happens that I want to build a hospital in a remote place, and these things can be used."

Fujii certainly didn't believe a word of the latter sentence, but he didn't go out of his way to expose it.

Everyone is here to make money, not to be shabby.

"I have thirty-eight scalpels, forty-two surgical hemostats, one hundred and fifty syringes, two thousand two hundred needles, one thousand bottles of anesthetic, twenty-five bundles of sutures, three thousand bottles of alcohol, two thousand rolls of medical bandages, and most importantly, five hundred tablets of sulfa tablets, a miracle drug for treating wound infections."

Having said that, he deliberately emphasized the three words "sulfa tablets" in an attempt to attract the attention of the people in front of him and prepare to sell these supplies at a high price.

After all, sulfa is hard currency in China at present, and in many places it is in short supply. Especially in the Chinese military, this miraculous anti-inflammatory drug is extremely sought after.

After hearing this, Kong Hao immediately showed great interest and said with a smile:

"How much do these things cost together?"

"It will cost about twelve thousand dollars. Adding the previous things, it will cost ninety-two thousand dollars in total."

At this point, he seemed to be afraid that Kong Hao would think it was too expensive, so he deliberately said:

"Among these supplies, the most expensive is the sulfa tablets. This is a miracle drug used to treat wound infections after surgery. If you bring back so many, it will definitely be a big help."

After saying this, he winked at Kong Hao, his purpose was self-evident.

However, coincidentally, Kong Hao was also preparing to come here to sell sulfa tablets, so they could be considered colleagues.
