Today's Akita family has Japanese soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition in charge of standing guard, and within a few tens of meters, not only Chinese, but even Japanese are not allowed to approach.

However, when Kagesa Zhenzhao and Inuyoken appeared outside Akita's house, the Japanese soldiers standing guard immediately let them go.

The two lifted the dark blue curtain and bent inside, only to find that there was already a person sitting in the lobby.

He was a middle-aged man, wearing a dark kimono and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and looked very thin.

Almost at the same time as Kagesa Zhenzhao and the two entered the door, the middle-aged man also looked up in the direction of the door, and Inukai Ken recognized it at a glance, this person was Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, the commander of the Eleventh Army.

"Your Excellency, General!" Shadow Zuo Zhen Showa Inu Yangjian hurriedly stepped forward and paused again.

"Hey, it's just a private party." Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said lightly, "Don't be too restrained. ”

"Hello!" Shadow Sazhen Showa Inuya Ken paused again when he heard this, then took off his wooden shoes, climbed on the tatami mat, and then knelt down opposite Okamura Ninji across the low table.

Okamura Ninji told the two of them not to be restrained, but Kagesa Showa and Inuyoken still kept their bodies straight.

There's no way, Okamura Ninji is a lieutenant general, and it is rumored that he will be promoted to general soon, and Kage Zuo Zhenzhao has just been promoted to Osa not long ago, and Inuyang Ken is just a small Shaoza, and there is a gap between the class status of the two sides, so Kage Sazhen Showa and Inuage Ken are really not at will.

Okamura Ninji understood the reason, so he didn't force the two of them.

Okamura Ninji's gaze first fell on Inu's face, but it was Kage Sage Zhenzhao who asked: "Kage Sa-kun, this must be what you mentioned, economics expert Inu-ken-kun, right?" ”

"Hello!" Inujian said, "Please take care of Your Excellency General!" ”

"Where." Okamura Ninji said, "Inukai-kun is too modest, it should be you who take care of me more, please help our Eleventh Army solve the problem of food supply no matter what." ”

Little Japan is now really facing a big problem with food supply.

Because of the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in the occupied areas of Northern, Central, and East China, the strategy of using war to feed the war formulated by small Japan before the war was completely nullified, so it could only transfer grain from the northeast and the mainland to China, and as a result, the price of rice in the northeast and even in the mainland soared.

Until now, the price of rice in Japan has risen several times.

As a direct consequence, a large number of citizens went bankrupt or even committed suicide.

Some people will ask, the price of grain in rice is so cheap, why doesn't Japan go to rice to buy it?

The answer is no! Because the people of the United States accept silver dollars, but do not accept Japanese yen, Japan must pay US dollars or pounds to buy grain in the United States, while the British pounds or US dollars of the Japanese government belong to foreign exchange, and these precious foreign currencies are used to import rubber, scrap steel and crude oil, and must not be wasted on grain.

Therefore, in order to alleviate the food crisis in the homeland, the Japanese army base camp could only let the invading Japanese army raise food on their own.

For example, the First Army stationed in Shanxi and the Twelfth Army stationed in Shandong basically had no difficulty in raising food, and the Mongolian Army and the 21st Army stationed in Guangzhou were slightly more difficult, but they could be overcome due to the small number of troops, but the Eleventh Army of Okamura Ningji was the most difficult.

Because the Eleventh Army now only controls the narrow areas on both sides of the Yangtze River and on both sides of the Pinghan Railway, and on the periphery of these areas, there are millions of troops entrenched in the two theaters of the Chinese! Therefore, there is no food to be collected at all, and on the contrary, the combat mission of the Eleventh Army is far more onerous than that of other armies!

It's really no way, Okamura Ningji can only go to Shanghai Huayuan.

Dog Yangjian didn't shirk either, and asked directly: "Your Excellency General, how many catties of food is still missing in the Eleventh Army?" ”

"200,000 troops, three months of combat needs." Okamura Ninji groaned, "How can I get 40 million catties!" ”

"40 million catties of grain, that is, 20,000 tons!" Inu Yangjian bowed his head lightly and asked, "Your Excellency, does it have to be rice or wheat?" Is corn okay? ”

"Corn?" Okamura Ninji was a little stunned.

"That's right." Inu Yangjian explained, "We are fighting a grain war with Zhong Yi through some grain merchants in China, and we are currently hoarding more than 100,000 tons of corn in our hands!" ”

"More than 100,000 tons of corn?" Okamura Ninji was even more stunned.

"Hello." Inu Yangjian paused again, and then said, "If corn can, then 20,000 tons of grain is not a problem at all, if corn can't work, then you can only exchange corn for rice from Shanghai, 2 tons is estimated to be no, it should still be possible to exchange it for millions of catties." ”

At this time, Okamura Ninji finally came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Inu-kun, it's okay, corn is okay, but if you can exchange corn for four or five million catties of rice, it will be great." ”

"Hello!" Inu Yangjian paused and said, "Your Excellency, this matter is on me. ”

After a pause, Inu Yangjian continued: "Half a month at most, oh no, at most ten days, 20,000 tons of corn plus 5 million catties of rice, it will definitely be loaded on the train to Jiujiang as scheduled!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Okamura Ninji was overjoyed when he heard this, "Inu-kun, you really helped me a lot this time!" ”

"Where." The dog was proud, but he said modestly, "It's just a gesture." ”

As he spoke, the proprietress of the Akita family had already brought the beef, and Okamura Ninji said solemnly: "Inukai-kun, and Kagesa-kun, this is authentic Kobe Wagyu beef, just shipped from Kobe, please!" ”

"Hello!" Inuyoken and Kagesa Yoshiaki pause and begin to enjoy beef.

Okamura Ninji cut a small piece of Wagyu beef, put it in his mouth, and tasted the freshness, tenderness and smoothness, and his face couldn't help but show an intoxicated look.

Kagesa-zhen, Showa, and dogs are similar.

Because Kobe Wagyu beef is indeed delicious, even with the salaries of the two of them, they are not often able to eat it.

After a long time, Okamura Ningji swallowed the wagyu beef into his stomach, and then asked Inuyangjian: "Inuyang-kun, you just said that you are fighting a grain war with Zhong Yi, to what extent have you fought?" When will the winner be decided? ”

"Hello." Hearing this, Inu Yangjian hurriedly swallowed the wagyu beef in his mouth, and replied immediately, "It should be soon, as long as the 200,000 tons of corn in Zhong Yi's hands are consumed, he can only let us slaughter it." ”

"What? The hundreds of thousands of tons of corn you just mentioned were eaten from Zhong Yi's hands? Okamura Ninji's face changed slightly, and then he said, "How did you eat it?" Zhong Yi didn't even stop it? ”
