Chapter 109 Windfall

  Colonel Malik’s special visit to the expeditionary army barracks for investigation originally made the soldiers of the expeditionary army a little worried, and they were all considering whether to restrain themselves.

  The Japanese people also thought that things would change after the US military came forward.

   As a result, on the second day, before the soldiers of the expeditionary army went out to patrol, they found a new announcement posted on the bulletin board at the gate of the camp.

  When everyone was in a nervous mood, after reading the content of the announcement, they couldn't laugh or cry.

  Of course, the content of the announcement made all the soldiers very happy. It turned out that the Japanese government established a comfort station in Osaka in order to meet the physical needs of the occupying troops.

  The so-called comfort stations are actually government-run brothels. Historically, the Japanese Communist Party organized and recruited about 55,000 Japanese women to provide comfort services for the US troops stationed in Japan.

  The comfort service priced at 15 yen a time is really not a lot of money for the US military.

   So, this service did reduce incidents of Japanese women being coerced by American soldiers.

   Moreover, it found a source of livelihood for many Japanese women who could not eat enough, and indirectly promoted the recovery of Japan's post-war economy.

   Regarding the content of this announcement, the soldiers of the expeditionary force were very excited at first, and some soldiers even went together.

  But when they came outside the comfort station, they saw a long queue outside, and many soldiers turned around and came back.

   As for Colonel Malik's investigation, Fang Lang did not explain anything, nor did he take any follow-up actions.

  Everyone understands that without actions and new orders, the chief has already dealt with the US military.

  Then there is nothing to say, the song should be sung, the dance should be danced, and the task must be resolutely completed.

   Time passed slowly amidst all the complaints from the Japanese.

   On October 3rd, the weather was fine, and Fang Lang finally waited for his father.

  As early as the end of July, Fang Lang had already notified his father that he would personally set off from Brazil with the fleet and bring the urgently needed supplies to his hometown.

  Because it took some time to raise supplies and recruit crew, it didn't arrive in Shanghai until around September 20th.

  After arriving in Xinshan, after arriving in Shanghai, the materials were unloaded and handed over to the personnel in charge of the immigration work of the fleet. After that, they took the recruited crew and rushed to Osaka non-stop.

  After the fleet arrived in Osaka, it was directed to berth next to the House, and the recruited crew began to get acquainted with the two Japanese cargo ships received from Colonel Malik.

  Fang Lang and his father were alone in Fang Lang's office in Osaka, talking behind closed doors for three hours, and no one knew the specific content of the discussion.

  For a while, Fang Lang had a cargo ship brought by Brazil, two Japanese cargo ships, and two fleet supply transport ships in Fang Lang's hands. A total of five transport ships.

  After dinner that day, Fang Lang took the $100,000 in cash brought by his father to Colonel Malik's office.

   Colonel Malik has been waiting very anxiously.

   "Fang, you are finally here. Yesterday, General MacArthur set up 10 management offices responsible for managing various fields of life of the Japanese regime. I expect that they will arrive in Osaka to start work the morning after tomorrow at the latest.

  We must move our equipment immediately, or let them interfere, and we will never get it. "

  This is the so-called Allied Forces Headquarters in the United States, referred to as the Allied Forces. It was established on October 2 and is headquartered in Tokyo.

  There are 9 bureaus including the Staff Department, the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Legal Affairs Bureau, the Statistics Bureau, the Economic Sciences Bureau, the Civil Intelligence Bureau, the Civil Communications Bureau, the People's Intelligence and Education Bureau, the Natural Resources Bureau, and the Public Health and Welfare Bureau.

  Responsible for deciding and handling relevant matters in Japan, and division of labor to formulate various plans for post-war reforms and guide the implementation of various reforms.

  All management work of the Japanese government is carried out under the guidance of these departments.

  The so-called alliance is nominally composed of all the victorious countries against Japan among the allied countries. But in fact, other countries have no time to take into account the situation in Japan now, and basically the United States is in charge.

  And the first person in charge of the League is really General MacArthur, the Supreme Emperor of Japan.

  The establishment of the Union General Assembly represents the end of separate military control.

   This is why Colonel Malik is in a hurry to get angry.

   Of course, Colonel Malik is not the only one who is anxious. Fang Lang is actually more anxious than Malik.

  Once Meng Zong enters Osaka, it is impossible for Fang Lang to continue to maintain the vacuum of the two roads.

   That is to say, if Fang Lang wants to do something, it must be completed within these two days.

  Fang Lang patted the military package he was carrying in his hand, and closed the office door casually.

   "Oh! I can't help it, I'm also in a hurry. Look around, it's yours. There are five ships in the port now, and we've been transporting and loading them day and night for the past two days. I hope they come in a hurry."

  Marik was not polite, he reached out and opened the package, only to find a bag full of US dollars inside.

  Fang Lang watched Malik take out bundles of dollars and put them on the table. In fact, at a glance, they were in denominations of one hundred dollars, and there were one hundred bundles each, ten bundles in total. It can be seen that it is one hundred thousand dollars.

   But Malik counted one by one very carefully.

  Fang Lang was not in a hurry, he took out a cigar, lit it, and smoked slowly beside him.

  He knows that Americans don't mind talking about money, and they also count money in person and will not avoid it.

  Fang Lang has never seen the factory equipment that Malik mentioned so far.

   It would be a lie to say that he is not worried about being cheated.

  However, everyone is a soldier, and some things need not be said too clearly. If you want to cheat money from a soldier.

  Then, you must be prepared to earn money but not spend your life. Don’t think that you can sit back and relax because you are an American.

  The Rebel Army is the best shield.

   Colonel Malik finally counted the banknotes in his hand, and stretched out his hand to Fang Lang with satisfaction.

   "Fang, happy cooperation! I'll take you there now. All the equipment has been packed and ready to be transported at any time."

  Fang Lang also got up and shook hands with him:

   "That's good, we're going to inspect the goods now, and I'll trouble you about the transportation."

   After watching Malik lock the US dollars in the safe behind him, the two went out together, got into a Willys jeep, and under the protection of a group of US military and expeditionary force convoys, they came to the foot of a hill near the ancient city of Osaka.

  There is a large-scale factory at the foot of the mountain, and most of the factory building has been bombed and collapsed.

  But Fang Lang saw a large number of trucks parked in the factory.

   The two got out of the car and walked through a factory building that was built close to the mountain. The side of the mountain was not a wall at all, but a huge passage.

  Fang Lang has always known that the Japanese like to dig holes, and he never thought that there would be such a large project in downtown Osaka.

  At this time, the depths of the cave were brightly lit. Except for the American soldiers with guns on guard, Japanese workers in overalls were packing equipment in wooden boxes.

  Most of the equipment has been packed, and the rest of the equipment will definitely be packed tonight depending on the situation.

  Fang Lang was not polite, and looked carefully before walking into a few devices.

  It was found that most of the equipment was made in Germany.

   couldn't help turning his head to Colonel Malik and said:

   "Germany?"

  Marik shrugged and said:

  “As far as I know, more than 65% of the machining equipment are German products. There are also 20% American products. The rest are Japanese products. But as far as I know, the quality of Japanese products is very poor.”

   This is really an unexpected surprise. Fang Lang would not have hesitated to eat this batch of equipment if he had known that there were so many German and American products!

  Even if he doesn't produce artillery, Fang Lang can use these equipment to produce a lot of things.

  Fang Lang knew very well that the Japanese machine tool industry in later generations was very developed, and it was basically as famous as Germany and Switzerland.

   But Japanese machine tools during World War II were synonymous with poor quality.

  Take the Japanese military officer’s eight box guns as an example, basically copying the homework of the German Luger P08.

  However, due to the unqualified processing technology and material technology, Japanese military officers used it to commit suicide and it would get stuck.

  You can see the Japanese machine tool processing technology.

  So Fang Lang thought that this so-called artillery factory also used Japanese machinery. If the price was not too low, Fang Lang might not be willing to take over.

   Now seeing so many German and American machine tools, Fang Lang's mood is almost the same as picking up leaks.

  Fang Lang just randomly checked a few packaged devices, and didn't say anything more, directly saying that he could start loading the car.

  It is already dark now, but time is tight and tasks are heavy, and darkness can also provide a good cover for this shady business.

  Colonel Malik also ordered directly without hesitation, and everyone began to load the trucks to the dock.

  Fang Lang didn't stay here and wait, but left the factory directly with Colonel Malik.

   Instructed the soldiers of the first company of the Marine Corps to **** them with the car.

   This can be regarded as private use of public equipment. However, the soldiers of the Marine Corps have no complaints.

  Because Fang Lang is also the boss who gives them allowances, whoever pays and works for whom is a matter of course.

  However, Fang Lang deliberately ordered a company of soldiers that all vehicles must pass through the two streets they had emptied.

   Moreover, there are other vehicles joining in on the way, and it is not allowed to mention to anyone.

   You only need to ensure that all the materials are transported onto the ship smoothly.

   After returning to the Brazilian Expeditionary Force station, Fang Lang was not idle, and directly organized the soldiers of the second company in the camp to line up with the guards, and went out by car in the dark night.

  No one knew the destination of the trip. Fang Lang, who was sitting in the lead car, guided the convoy along one of the two roads cleared by the soldiers of the expeditionary army.

   Soon, all the vehicles came to a dilapidated factory with a very long history.

  The entire factory is a masonry structure, a two-story building, an independent factory building about ten meters high, thirty-five meters long, and less than twenty meters wide.

  Under the lights of the car, you can see that the walls are covered with moss, telling you that this factory has a long history.
