After another busy day, Zhao Zhi stood alone on the hillside, quietly looking at the picturesque mountain scenery in front of him, and suddenly entered a state of selflessness. I don't know when Zhao Zhi developed the habit of walking on the hillside after dinner, and the heavily armed Ye Kong scattered around with a few mercenaries to protect Zhao Zhi's safety.

The setting sun is like a huge red basin, quietly falling on the edge of the mountains in the distance, dyeing the undulating mountains far and near into purple and brown, and the mountain streams and the clouds in the sky have turned into blood-like colors, exuding a unique afterglow of the evening; The dense bamboo forests on the hillside all seem to be plated with a layer of gold, shaking off the glow of the ground under the blowing of the evening breeze; Birds at dusk flew past the hill, leaving behind strings of crisp chirps.

Ye Kong, who was carrying a sniper rifle on his back, quietly walked over, stood next to Zhao Zhi, and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what are you thinking?" Ye Kong was extremely puzzled by Zhao Zhi's habit of walking, especially Zhao Zhi's habit of walking on the barren hillside covered with thatch, which made Ye Kong even more puzzled, he didn't understand what was better in such a barren hillside.

Zhao Zhi, who was a little stunned, came to his senses, shook his head and said: "I didn't think about anything, I just feel that my spirit is a little dignified these days, it's rare that this will be a little free, I feel much more open-minded when I look at the scenery here, and I feel a little dizzy."

Ye Kong smiled warmly: "I can't see it, sir, you still have the demeanor of a literati." But in my opinion, sir, you miss Miss Rowling, don't you? There was a sour smell in Ye Kong's words, Zhao Zhi and Rowling's matter was not news among the mercenaries, three days ago, Rowling, who had already visited Yangon, went to Mandalay with a team of mercenaries, and Zhao Zhi, who was busy thinking about how to make money all day long, became a loner, no wonder Ye Kong would think that Zhao Zhi was thinking about Rowling.

Zhao Zhi, who couldn't cry or laugh, raised his foot and kicked Ye Kong, "Tell me what you think about every day in your head, if you have this time to ponder, it's better to give me some ways to get money, if you can't get money again, after a while, we will all have to drink the northwest wind."

Ye Kong patted the sniper rifle on Zhao Zhi's back, and said with a hippie smile: "Commander of the march, I don't know anything, and I don't have the number of ways to get money, I'm just a sniper, according to the original words that Rowling gave me when she left, my task is to protect your safety, and other things have nothing to do with me" Seeing that Zhao Zhi seemed to be kicking him again, Ye Kong continued to laugh and said, "We didn't seem to have any money when we first started, if we really don't have any money, it's a big deal that we are still like we were in Zhangwu County, Wouldn't it be over if you find a few rich rich people to hang a layer of land?"

"You, you have all learned to become bandits with Dazhi" Facing Ye Kong's rogue face, Zhao Zhi was really speechless, "That's in China, and besides, the rich people we started are all guys who follow the Japanese army to help and abuse, this is Myanmar, and the leaders of these locals are not easy to deal with." I have a way to make money, but I haven't figured it out yet, and I have to think about it again."

Ye Kong said with a smile, "What's so difficult about this, the British troops stationed in Burma have some gunboats in their hands, the tonnage of warships is generally not large, I think it is about 1,000 tons, these gunboats are not the opponent of the Japanese Navy at all, but those gunboats are almost all high-quality steel, if you use these as raw materials to make steel, it is much more cost-effective than using iron ore." If we can dismantle these gunboats into iron materials and send them to Kunming, it should be very easy for the steelworks to increase their output, and then reserve our inexhaustible steel, so that we don't have to spend money on buying iron ore from Capone, won't this save money? ”

Zhao Zhi said in a tone of disbelief and surprise, "Ye Shengun, you are really amazing, you even dare to calculate the gunboats of the British army, why don't you want to raid the house of the human Capone, wouldn't it be faster to get money that way" What Ye Kong said, Zhao Zhi had already thought about it, but Zhao Zhi's idea hit the ships that were destroyed by the Germans in Britain and France, Zhao Zhi has a lot of ships that can be used now, and the cabins of the ships from the port of Marseille are mostly carrying Jewish refugees and weapons and equipment, Zhao Zhi wanted to let these ships drag a few bad ships to Myanmar in a towing way, but Germany also needed steel, so Zhao Zhi couldn't line up at all.

Ye Kong rolled his eyes and said in a mocking tone, "Don't look at me with such adoring eyes, my goosebumps are rising." You see that Japan is just a small projectile country, but the steel output can reach 4 million tons a year, if it is all iron ore refining, it is difficult to achieve such a high output, people mainly rely on the import of scrap steel from the developed industrial countries in Europe and the United States to have such a high output, the Japanese can do this, why can't we? ”

"That's national trade, and besides, the Japanese Navy is very strong in blockading the sea, and the ships that haul scrap steel can't get through at all, so you still have this idea in your stomach first, we are just a small mercenary company, and those American companies will not do business with us, let alone in the name of the national government."

Ye Kong listened to Zhao Zhi's words, but thought of another question, "European countries have huge investments in China, and it stands to reason that they should oppose Japan's invasion of China, but why haven't there been any substantive actions so far?" There is no arms embargo on Japan, nor is there an absolute cut off Japan's trade in exporting strategic materials, so why can't they export these materials to China, and what kind of medicine are they selling in their gourd? ”

Zhao Zhi kicked a thatch under his feet and said with a sneer, "China has always been a piece of cake in their eyes, whoever wants to eat it can take a bite, since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the performance of the world's major powers is very intriguing, the Soviet Union has provided China with weapons and equipment, and even sent aviation teams to directly participate in the war." Anglo-American law has put on an attitude of not caring about itself, and has always stayed out of the matter, Germany is obviously ready to abandon China, and if it were not for our role in the middle, Hitler would not be willing to set his sights on China at all now"

"The ancients said: The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit. The European countries that sold steel to Japan were all motivated by their own interests, and all of this was just a trick. The reason why the Soviet Union would provide supplies to the Nationalist Government was nothing more than to use China to contain Japan so that it would not have the spare strength to continue its northward advance, and Britain, the United States and France deliberately connived at Japan precisely in the hope that it would burn the flames of war to Siberia. As for Germany, if it wants to seize dominance on the European continent, of course it wants to use Japan's powerful navy to contain the United States, and a poor friend like China will naturally have to abandon it."

Ye Kong nodded thoughtfully, "I didn't think about this, but now that I listen to your words, I feel that my mouth is suddenly opened." According to what you mean, Chongqing has been trying to win us over for the sake of profit, they should have taken a fancy to our combat strength, if we are like other national army units, Chongqing will not provide us with so much convenience, then in this case, why do we still have to speak for the Nationalist Government in Germany, anyway, we are not fellow travelers with the Nationalist Government, it doesn't matter if they live or die?"

"You are stupid, we still have too few people, for now, we need an ally, a rear that can provide us with troops and supplies at any time" Zhao Zhigao's raised hand frightened Ye Kong retreated several steps away, "In fact, Germany does not really want to abandon the Nationalist Government, although they have issued a recall order to those German engineers and technicians who assisted China, but now there are still a third of them who have not returned, I guess Germany should still be waiting, they are watching the contest between Japan and China, They will only support the winning side"

At this time, the sunset has completely disappeared behind the mountains, leaving only a brilliant glow in the sky, and the sky above the sky has begun to take on a vast white, and a few stars emit a faint light. A gust of wind blows, and the thatched grass all over the mountains makes a 'whooshing' sound, bringing a deep coolness. "See?" Zhao Zhi pointed to this hillside, "When I was in Shanghai, I actually just wanted to live a rich life, you see how beautiful the scenery here is, I hope that when I am old, I can have such a place to retire with Rowling, now I think about it, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Ye Kong glanced at Zhao Zhi with contempt again, and muttered to himself in his heart, is there a rich man like you? Good guys, with more than 80,000 Jewish soldiers in your hands, an armored unit in the training camp that is about to take shape, and a weapons lab in the United States that produces weapons all day long, how can you stop. Ye Kong, who originally returned to China with enthusiasm, has also changed his mood after repeated bloody battles, only when he has the power can he have the right to speak, and only when he has absolute strength can he have the opportunity to drive the Japanese out of China, so Ye Kong will follow Zhao Zhi willingly, because he feels that Zhao Zhi has such an opportunity.

"It's getting dark, let's go back" Ye Kong muttered dryly, and pulled Zhao Zhi down the hillside with a few mercenaries, the recruits trained in the barracks had already fallen asleep, except for the light and dark sentinels, only the patrol sentries were still walking around the camp. When going down the mountain, Zhao Zhi didn't say a word, Ye Kong and they all followed him silently, many years later, Ye Kong still remembered this evening when he was dying, and in the past few decades of intersecting with Mr., he asked himself if he could not understand what kind of person Zhao Zhi was, and only that evening did Ye Kong have a real understanding of Zhao Zhi.
