Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 117 Others store food, but I store guns!
Anyone who is not a fool would know that this must be a conspiracy of the Japanese army.

But he didn't understand what the Japanese army meant by doing this?
Don’t you want to continue like this?
Or what?
This reminded him of the Three Alls Policy, except that the Japanese army implemented this plan in order to wipe out the guerrillas.

How come it is used here?
Although he was very confused, Lu Yuhua thought about it and decided to send people to deliver food first, and let the troops on the front line to investigate and find out what was going on.

He always felt that there was some conspiracy, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Could it be that the Japanese army is committing another massacre?
Or was it to raid the countryside for food?
"Need food again?" The officer from the logistics department frowned slightly as he looked at the application form.

In the past few days, more than 200,000 kilograms of rice have been sold. Even though the Security Corps is wealthy, it cannot afford this.

"Yes, sir. This is an application form written personally by Captain Zhou of the Qinzhou Security Corps. More than 200,000 refugees have been found in the direction of Zhanjiang, and most of them are hungry." said the officer in front.

"Another two hundred thousand refugees? What on earth do the Japs want to do?" The officer in charge of managing food frowned even more.

Just now, Long Wen's department also sent in an application form. They have also accepted tens of thousands of refugees. All in all, there are more than 300,000 refugees.

You have to know that their warehouses only have more than one million kilograms of rice stored, but during this period of time they were recruiting new soldiers and suppressing the skyrocketing food prices in various places, so only a few hundred thousand kilograms were left.

After driving out the Japanese troops, they found that various places were suffering from food shortages, so they transported food to various places to curb the increase in food prices.

After all, people’s lives are already hard enough, and if food prices go up again they really won’t be able to survive.

And now more than 200,000 kilograms of grain have been taken out, making the already limited grain supply almost exhausted.

More importantly, if hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food could solve the problem, that would be great.

Now, with the increase in the number of refugees, more and more food is being spent.

Not only that, the refugees were homeless and had no food at all. It would take another three or four months for them to survive until the summer harvest.

This means that these refugees will have no food to survive for the next three or four months.

If they run out of food, they will definitely cause trouble.

So we have to take out food to feed them.

In this case, the amount of food needed would be several million kilograms, or even tens of millions of kilograms.

As a small logistics officer, he was simply unable to handle so much food.

Thinking of this, the officer felt his scalp tingling instantly, and he suddenly realized that this was definitely not an accidental event, but must have been planned and large-scale.

"Sir, are we still going to distribute the food?" the officer asked.

"Distribute it first. After all, there are so many refugees. If they have no food, there will definitely be trouble. I will go to the general manager right away. We must find a way to get more food." Lu Yuhua thought about it and decided to distribute the food first.

After all, the people's hearts must be stabilized first, otherwise if chaos occurs, wouldn't all the efforts of these days be in vain?
"Yes."

Not long after, Zhang Shun, the officer in charge of logistics, found Lu Yuhua and scared Lu Yuhua as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Boss, there is something I need to report to you."

Hearing his words, Lu Yuhua frowned slightly. He could feel that it was definitely not a good thing.

As expected, Zhang Shun’s next words surprised Lu Yuhua.

"Boss, we are running out of food. We only have 300,000 kilograms of food left in stock."

"What? What did you say? We are running out of food? There are only 300,000 kilograms left in stock?"

"Yes, it should only be enough for a week." Zhang Shun continued.

"No, including the refugees, there's only enough food for three days, or even less!"

"Say it again?" Lu Yuhua looked at the other person in disbelief.

Fortunately, he is surrounded by his trusted confidants, so he doesn't have to worry too much about the news getting out.

"What's going on?" Lu Yuhua knew there must be other reasons.

As for the other party embezzling these grains?

That’s not the case, because they are all my trusted confidants.

After all, how could he hand over a matter concerning the lifeblood of the entire army to someone else? It must be a mobilized soldier, and an officer who is proficient in logistics, so he specially exchanged for a hero template for this purpose.

"Boss, this is the application form I just received." After saying that, Zhang Shun handed over the application.

After reading it, Lu Yuhua frowned slightly.

"Do you need so much food?"

"Yes, and how should we deal with the follow-up arrangements for these people? Should we continue to distribute food?" Zhang Shun asked.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua's face looked unhappy, as if he had thought of something.

"And, Commander, there are so many refugees. If we don't provide follow-up assistance, they will starve to death," Zhang Shun said.

"And I suspect this is a conspiracy of the Japanese devils."

"Wait... Are you saying you suspect the devils did this on purpose?"

Lu Yuhua was not a fool and immediately understood what he meant.

"Yes, Commander, I seriously suspect that this is a conspiracy of the Japanese devils. They hope to use these refugees to slow down the speed of our attack and our logistical supply capabilities." Zhang Shun quickly expressed his opinion.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua fell silent, thought for a while, and suddenly realized.

He felt that something was strange, but he never figured out what was strange. Now he finally understood.

"You are right. This must be the conspiracy of the Japanese. They are trying to use refugees to slow down our attack. It seems that this is a new trick that the Japanese have come up with."

"With the delay caused by these refugees, our offensive speed will indeed be much slower."

"And those refugees are all our compatriots. We can't just watch them starve to death. The Japanese are taking advantage of our kindness and deliberately trying to delay our logistical supply."

As he spoke, Lu Yuhua took out the telegram sent by Zhou Weiguo again.

As expected, there was another sentence in the telegram saying that the number of refugees might increase and hoped that the speed of supply would be increased in the future.

He didn't care at that time, but now after connecting all the information, he finally understood that the Japanese were trying to use these refugees to slow down their attack.

"These damn Japanese devils are the ones who are playing dirty tricks. If they were an ordinary army, it would have been a troublesome matter. It's a pity that they met me." Lu Yuhua said disdainfully.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Zhang Shun asked hurriedly.

"Give as much as you want. We must ensure that the refugees do not starve to death, and the soldiers on the front line do not go hungry." Lu Yuhua said.

"But..." Zhang Shun wanted to say something, but was interrupted.

"No need to say more, do it immediately. I will find a way to solve the lack of food." Lu Yuhua waved his hand. Isn't it just food?

He really had no shortage of food, as the free army in Annan had plenty of food.

Even if there were ten times more refugees, he would be able to support them.

However, it is not a good idea to just keep it like this, as problems will definitely arise.

People cannot be lazy, or they cannot be idle. Once they are idle, all kinds of trouble will arise, so we have to find something for them to do.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuhua felt that he should build some factories to accommodate these people.

"Yes." Zhang Shun replied quickly. After Zhang Shun left, Lu Yuhua couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had opened a branch base in Annan in advance.

Otherwise, he would definitely be in a mess now.

Others hoard food, but I hoard guns!
My neighbors are my granary!
Although this is a joke, its main meaning is the deterrent power brought by weapons.

He didn't have that much food at the beginning. The reason he had more than one million kilograms of food was because they were sent by the Free Army from Annan.

Grain in Indochina is harvested three and a half times a year, and the yield is much higher than here.

It can be said that there is no shortage of food at all, so the best way to solve the food problem is the Indochina Peninsula.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuhua went straight to Zhang Fakui.

In order to have a legitimate reason to attack, he must have the support of Zhang Fakui, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble.

"More than 300,000 refugees?" Zhang Fakui frowned slightly, but his expression seemed very calm, which made Lu Yuhua a little surprised.

Did he already know?

It shouldn’t be!

"Are you curious about why I am so calm?" Perhaps seeing Lu Yuhua's confusion, Zhang Fakui handed over a telegram.

After taking the telegram and taking a look at it, Lu Yuhua was stunned for a moment. It turned out that this situation was not only happening here, but also in other war zones.

Large numbers of refugees appeared in various war zones, constantly consuming food reserves in various places.

The remaining provinces are originally poor areas and not grain-producing areas.

It was already very difficult to barely support the front-line troops in the war of resistance, and many people were still struggling to survive with hunger.

As a result, there are now a large number of refugees. We can’t let these refugees starve to death, right?
There was no other way. Each war zone could only distribute a small amount of food to barely keep the refugees from starving to death.

The young and strong can still hold on, but the old, weak, women and children cannot.

It's okay to not have enough to eat occasionally, but after a long time, people will starve to death.

Zhang Fakui spoke only after Lu Yuhua finished reading the telegram.

"Now do you know why I am so calm?"

"Now it seems that this is a deliberate conspiracy by the Japanese devils, with the purpose of dragging us down."

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua nodded, and this time he agreed with Zhang Fakui's words.

"The Japanese can't defeat us completely on the front battlefield, so they can only use these conspiracies and tricks to win the war. I have to say, this trick is really good. If it continues like this, it won't be long before all the war zones will be out of food, especially now that we are in the spring plowing season and there is a shortage of food."

"The Japs have some capable people."

Lu Yuhua couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Fakui didn't say anything about this because he also agreed with the other party's point of view.

"Now all the war zones are worried about food, and Shancheng is also trying to find ways to raise food. Some people suggest that we don't care about these refugees and drive them back to the Japanese-occupied areas."

"How hateful! This man deserves to be killed." When Lu Yuhua heard this, he became furious. Wasn't he pushing those refugees towards the Japanese army?

When the Japanese army provides food relief to these refugees, won't the number of puppet troops increase again?

"I think so too, but the solution proposed by the other party has been recognized by many people. Now the primary task is to ensure that the army does not run out of food, otherwise the morale will be completely lost, and the so-called war of resistance will become a joke." Zhang Fakui's tone was a little sad.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua also fell silent.

"So, I can't support you. There is a shortage of food in all the war zones now."

The implication is that without food, you can only find a way out on your own.

Lu Yuhua had no dissatisfaction with this, and he also knew the current difficulties.

"Commander, I have a way to solve the food problem."

Zhang Fakui was stunned. Is there any way to solve the food problem?

You know, all the war zones are worried about food now, but he actually has a way to solve the food problem?

So Zhang Fakui was very curious, how should he solve it?

Go rob the Japanese army?

The Japanese army was not fools. Since they came up with such a sinister and vicious plan, they must have a backup plan. Who knows, the food might have been transported to some secret place.

"Commander, we don't have food, but others do." Lu Yuhua explained quickly.

"Are you talking about the Japanese army? Don't even think about it. Since the Japanese army came up with all these conspiracies and tricks, they must have a backup plan. How could they let you find food easily?" Zhang Fakui shook his head.

"Ah? I'm not talking about the Japanese army." Lu Yuhua was stunned. Why was he talking about the Japanese army again?

"Ah? Not the Japanese army? Who else could it be?" Zhang Fakui was really confused. Who else could it be if not the Japanese army?

This is not a small amount.

There are almost a million refugees in all the war zones, and the number is increasing every day.

Even if we calculate based on two meals of porridge a day, it would take tens of millions of kilograms of grain to last until the summer harvest.

This is the case when the refugee population is growing at a slow rate. If the rate is too fast, tens of millions of kilograms of food may not be enough.

"Annan." Lu Yuhua said directly.

"What? Annan?" Zhang Fakui was completely confused. This guy never gave up attacking Annan.

Can we attack there at will?
Aren’t you afraid of causing trouble?

"Yes, it is Annan. The grain there is harvested three and a half times a year, and the grain yield is very high. There is no problem in feeding these hundreds of thousands of people. Not only that, there are also places like Siam, where there are also a lot of grain reserves. I believe that with the grain from these places, we will never have to worry about food again."

"Even if the Japanese army sends millions more refugees, there is no need to worry." Cun Yunsheng said confidently.

Hearing this, Zhang Fakui was completely speechless.

This guy has set his sights on this place and is thinking of getting food from the neighbors.

But this idea is quite good.

So Zhang Fakui did not scold him immediately, but wondered whether this would work.

"Commander, we are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. We can't even eat shit while it's hot." Seeing that Zhang Fakui was still thinking, Lu Yuhua said anxiously.

What time is it? Are you still thinking so much?

If there were only 200,000 or 300,000 refugees, we could get through it by gritting our teeth.

As a result, he was told that this situation existed in all war zones, which made him suddenly feel that one or two million kilograms of food was not enough. He must get more food, otherwise a large number of people would starve to death.

He doesn't believe in the moral integrity of those people in various war zones.

Who knows, someone might be reselling grain to make a profit.

Therefore, he must get more food as soon as possible to rescue more refugees.
