Chapter 221 Are you guys mutinying? (Second update!)

Major Nojiri thought it would be in Japanese yen, after all, they were talking about 100 million yen.

Unexpectedly, the deposit was paid in US dollars.

At this time, the US dollar can be exchanged for gold at an equal amount.

So it is also called US dollar.

This made Major Nojiri swallow his saliva.

The US dollar is much more valuable than the Japanese yen.

At this time, one US dollar can probably be exchanged for more than seven Japanese yen.

That is to say, the two-month salary of a Japanese soldier was less than one dollar.

In fact, after the war, the exchange rate of the US dollar to the Japanese yen was even more terrifying.

In the end, the ratio reached 1 to 360 yen.

In other words, if Major Nojiri keeps the US dollars for a few years, his assets can increase dozens of times.

"This place is worth about 20 million yen." Yuta Inoshita said with a dry mouth.

When he was carrying the box, his first reaction was to run away with the box.

Twenty million yen, enough for him to spend for ten lifetimes.

However, thinking of Cun Yunsheng's terrifying methods, he still took the box and completed the task obediently.

When he heard that it was worth 20 million yen, Major Nojiri swallowed his saliva again.

As a businessman in Osaka, I naturally know that the Japanese yen is depreciating against the US dollar day by day.

The other party trades in US dollars, which is profitable for them.

Seeing that the Sichuan Army was so sincere, Major Nojiri thought about it for a while.

"Please rest assured. Osaka merchants value credibility the most. We will definitely hand over the Siamese Navy's warships to you intact."

Major Nojiri patted his chest and swore a promise, but felt that it was not sincere enough, so he took out a pen and paper and wrote a contract.

It was clearly written on it that the 4th Division guaranteed to deliver the Siamese Navy's warships to the Sichuan Army Corps intact.

Finally, there is the signature of Major Nojiri.

If this thing gets leaked, Major Nojiri will definitely be shot.

Therefore, it is enough to see that Major Nojiri really wants to complete this deal.

"As long as the Sichuan Army arrives in Bangkok, we will be able to hand over Bangkok to the Sichuan Army. It will be considered a gift from me." Major Nojiri said sincerely again.

If Cun Yun was born here, he would definitely say it is open and bright.

Just based on this business attitude, we will definitely cooperate more in the future.

"Within three days, the main force of the Sichuan Army will move south to Bangkok. Uncle Nojiri, please don't forget to fulfill your promise at that time." Inoshita Yuta said.

"Yes, there will be absolutely no problem." Major Nojiri said confidently.

After Yuta Inoshita left, Major Nojiri immediately found the other officers of the regiment.

We all come from the same city and are basically related to each other.

I'm not bragging.

If you really think about it carefully, they are definitely relatives.

Even if they are not relatives, they are always that kid from so-and-so's family, or your father is so-and-so.

"Is this a deposit?" A captain looked at the US dollars in front of him and couldn't help swallowing.

"That's right, three million US dollars, worth more than 20 million yen." Major Nojiri had calmed down his previous excitement, but the others were full of excitement.

They have never seen so much money in their lives.

"If it's converted into 20 million yen, how many boxes would it take to hold it?" another major asked puzzledly.

"I don't know, but it will take at least ten boxes." Major Nojiri was not sure either, but he made his judgment based on his own experience.

"Hiss, if I do this, I can live off it for several years at least."

This statement won the approval of many people.

Wherever they go, they work so hard to do business. Isn't it just to make more money so that their families can live better?

The military pay is so low, how can we survive without doing some business?
Who doesn’t have a few people to support at home?

"Let's talk about it first, what should we do?" Major Nojiri's words calmed everyone down.

This is only 20 million yen, and there are still 80 million yen to come.

All they had to do was hand over the Siamese naval warships to others.

For them, as long as they paid enough money, they could sell the emperor.

Not to mention, what they are selling are naval warships of other countries. What does it have to do with them?
"What should we do? We have to sell it. We still have 80 million yen." The captain said with red eyes.

Now he will kill anyone who cuts off his source of income.

"Baga, I mean how do we deal with those regiment commanders?" Major Nojiri yelled in annoyance.

These children of Osaka merchants were able to serve as middle and low-level military officers, while officers above the rank of regiment commander were appointed by the headquarters.

"To defeat the superior with the inferior?" the captain asked without hesitation.

Anyway, this isn't the first time I've done this.

Clear out the emperor's side!

They are old and mature.

However, they were clearing out the king, while for the Japanese army, they were clearing out the side.

Who is the side?

These are the senior military officers.

It’s an old tradition.

When he was purging the court, he not only killed the Deputy Minister of the Army, but also several naval generals.

As a result, the navy drove the warships directly into Tokyo Bay and took away the senior naval generals without saying a word.

As for the mutiny, the navy pretended not to see it and let them do whatever they wanted.

Therefore, it is common for them to defeat their superiors with the inferiors.

If there was anything wrong with the emperor's orders, they would question them and refuse to execute them.

Nowadays, money is the key to success, and a mere victory of the weak over the strong is nothing.

"Isn't this a bad idea?" A major hesitated, feeling that this was not a good idea.

As a result, he was angrily rebuked by the captain.

"Sato family, this is 100 million yen. Do you know how many years it will take to earn that amount with your military pay? Even if we divide it equally, we can at least get tens of thousands of yen. How many years of military service will it take to earn that much?"

"Besides, you graduated from the Army Officer Academy. Lieutenant Colonel is your limit. Don't you consider your family?"

Normally, the Japanese army had a strict hierarchy, and low-ranking officers would never dare to speak to middle-ranking officers in this way.

But the 4th Division is an exception, as many people in it are related to each other.

Normally, you can pay attention to strict hierarchy.

But at this time, we don’t care about these things.

After all, no one can resist money.

After being reprimanded by the other party, Major Sato had no choice but to bow his head and apologize.

"Then arrest them all? Execute those who don't cooperate on the spot?" Major Sato thought about it. With his military salary of only four or five thousand yen for twenty years, if he succeeded in this mission, he would earn more money than he could ever earn in his entire life.

So it’s no wonder that he is so cruel.

It’s because these senior military officers are not from Osaka.

Not to mention, the conflict between Kanto and Kansai has existed for hundreds of years.

"Yes, all those uncooperative regiment commanders will be executed. As for the division commander, arrest him first. After all, we still need him for external liaison." Major Nojiri agreed with Major Sato's suggestion.

"Okay, let's do this. I'll contact other squadrons and it'd be best if they act in a unified manner." Major Sato said.

"I'll also contact other squadrons."

The 30,000-plus people, except for the senior officers, were basically all from Osaka, so everyone was related.

Soon, all the officers and soldiers, except for the senior officers, agreed to defeat the superiors.

Anyway, these are all old traditions and they don’t have any psychological burden.

The result was that when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division, who had already connected themselves up, took down their respective regiment commanders directly.

"Baga, are you planning a mutiny?" The commander of the Eighth Regiment looked confused as he saw his residence was surrounded.

Of course he knew about the tradition of the weak defeating the strong.

I just didn't expect that it would happen to him one day.

"Your Excellency the Commander, the Sichuan Army Corps offers 100 million yen to purchase Siam's naval warships. I'm sorry, we have agreed to this deal, but you are not from Osaka, so we can only send you to see Amaterasu." Major Nojiri spread his hands and said helplessly.

The commander of the Eighth Regiment was dumbfounded.

What does it mean to spend 100 million yen to buy Siamese naval warships?

What is this all about?
What does this have to do with your mutiny?
Can you be bribed with just this little money?

Ok!

That's a lot of money indeed.

But you are a Type A division, right?
How could someone be bribed?
Also, when did the Sichuan Army bribe its own subordinates?
For a moment, the commander of the Eighth Regiment was confused and had no idea what was going on.

"Baga, you are committing treason. Return to the barracks immediately, otherwise..." The commander of the Eighth Regiment wanted to scold them and send them back.

As a result, Major Nojiri was seen pulling the trigger.

Gunshot!

The captain of the 8th Squadron widened his eyes in disbelief and then fell to the ground.

He didn't quite understand until the moment of his death.

Why did they dare to shoot?
"Well, as long as we can capture the division commander, this mutiny will be a success." Major Nojiri said with satisfaction.

When the other soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but smile.

With 100 million yen, everyone can get at least a few thousand yen.

Compared to their military pay of a few yen, this is a huge sum of money.

The price was only the death of a few senior officers.

If it were any other division, this situation would never happen.

But for the 4th Division, especially the '8th Regiment that is not afraid of defeat'.

Sprinkle some water!
Anyway, the dead person was not from Osaka, so what does it have to do with them?
Only Kitano Kenzo is the most confused.

Originally, he was still worrying about how to repel the Sichuan Army.

He even came up with a series of reasons to coax the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division into fighting.

result?

Not long after he fell asleep at night, his residence was surrounded by his own people.

More importantly, his own guards actually joined in the mutiny.

"Baga, this is a mutiny, what on earth do you want to do?" Kitano Kenzo had obviously experienced that mutiny and knew what these crazy soldiers would do.

But he still suppressed his inner fear and scolded him.

Who knew that the soldiers who were scolded by him had no expression at all until Major Sato came out and looked at Kitano Kenzo.

"Mr. Division Commander, don't worry, we won't execute you." Major Sato's words made Kitano Kenzo break out in a cold sweat.

These crazy people!

I'm used to the inferior defeating the superior.

So, he could only force himself to calm down and figure out the needs of these soldiers.

"Baga, what on earth do you want to do? The Sichuan Army is about to attack. As the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan, why are you mutinying at this time?" Kitano Kenzo asked again.

Who knows, Major Sato said lightly.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, this is not a mutiny, but we are doing this for our own benefit."

"The Sichuan Army offered 100 million yen to purchase Siamese naval warships."

"Is this the reason for your mutiny? It's ridiculous. The Sichuan Army is our enemy." Kitano Kenzo thought these people were crazy, just for one hundred million yen.

Ok!

One hundred million yen is indeed a lot!

He really has no right to say that!
At least, he himself thought it was a lot.

"But the Sichuan Army did not engage in battle with us? All they wanted was a Siamese naval warship, and it was 100 million yen. Do you know how much 100 million yen is?"

"It's enough for soldiers like us to earn in our lifetime. Even for you, it would take you thousands of years." Major Sato said crazily.

Apart from anything else, the other soldiers also went crazy when they heard so much money.

Everyone looked at Kitano Kenzo with red eyes. If Kitano Kenzo said anything else, he would probably be killed.

Looking at these somewhat crazy soldiers in front of him, Kitano Kenzo fell silent.

He didn't dare to provoke these soldiers again.

"What exactly do you want to do?" After a moment of silence, Kitano Kenzo asked.

"All you need is to give an order to invite the officers and soldiers of the Siamese Navy to come ashore to attend the banquet." Major Sato said.

Upon hearing this, Kitano Kenzo instantly understood what they were thinking.

This was done by using one's own name to lure the enemy ashore, and then shoot them all, so that the warships became ownerless.

Kitano Kenzo believed that those people would definitely arrive at the banquet on time.

Because the strongest force in Bangkok now is the Japanese 4th Division.

Therefore, Kenzo Kitano is the most powerful person in Bangkok.

No one dares not to listen to his words.

Only Kenzo Kitano knows the actual situation.

He is just a puppet.

From beginning to end, he was unable to command the 4th Division.

These vendors from Osaka are a bunch of bastards.

For money, they dare to sell anything.

Are you not afraid of death?
Once the headquarters knew about their mutiny.

They will all be executed by then.

and many more!

Haven’t these guys considered the attitude of the base camp?
Thinking of this, Kitano Kenzo seemed to have thought of a way to break the deadlock.

"You have executed so many high-ranking officers. If the headquarters finds out, you will all die."

Who knew that Major Sato would say this with confidence.

"So the division commander needs to send a telegram to the headquarters to indicate that those senior officers died in an accident."

Hearing this, Kitano Kenzo was completely paralyzed.

So this is why you keep me here?
So I can still be alive?

Just because it has this little effect?
These bastards.

But what can he do?
Don't agree?
Then you must die!

I still don’t know what crime these bastards will charge him with?
After all, most of the members of the Fourth Division are from Osaka.

As long as they work together, the base camp will have no way to deal with them.

It's impossible to execute all these 30,000 people?
The sensation caused would probably be too much for even the base camp to handle.

Thinking of this, Kitano Kenzo's face became extremely ugly.

　There should be more! Let’s go and put the baby to sleep first!
