Chapter 432 The Best Cannon Fodder (Second update, please subscribe)

What kind of rewards will an accidental idea bring?

It's a success!

Nakajima's sudden idea solved the last problem in the development of the Grasberg copper mine. Soon they began to experiment with cast iron pipes. By constantly adjusting the proportion of copper concentrate powder and water, they finally found the right ratio. proportion of slurry.

In return, after the test was successful, Nakajima finally received their long-awaited naturalization.

Just an invention makes their dreams come true!

Nanyang is fair and everyone can be treated fairly here.

This is why many people come here.

Not to mention engineers like Nakajima who made outstanding contributions to Nanyang, even prisoners of war in prisoner-of-war camps, they were also treated fairly.

A points system is implemented in the prisoner-of-war camp. The daily workload will be converted into corresponding points according to the type and difficulty of the work. As long as the points are reached, you can leave the prisoner-of-war camp and return to Japan. In addition to labor, you can also exchange for corresponding points by exposing and reporting comrades' cheating, cheating, and other behaviors.

As long as you reach 15000 points, you can return to Japan.

Although the cold rain was pouring down on him, Yamaguchi still sawed the trees in the rainforest with a chain saw. There was only one number left in his heart - 11326!

These are his points. In order to get these points, he has been working hard and working hard. While working, he also keeps his ears open and his eyes open, ready to report those "backward elements who resist transformation" at any time.

"Actively reform, work hard to atone, and strive to return to society as soon as possible!"

"Someone wants to see you,"

From the Red Cross?

It doesn't look like... they're soldiers.

see me?

After returning to the camp, before Yamaguchi could go to eat, he heard news - people from the International Red Cross were coming!

"Really?"

Everyone looked at the chief's office with great anticipation. The International Red Cross would not only bring letters from their families, but also cigarettes, candies and other things.

Why do you call it this name?

Could it be a trial!

Yamaguchi looked at these Westerners nervously. He couldn't think of any other crimes he had not been punished for.

Yamaguchi trotted over quickly, stood at attention and bowed.

"Westerners, they are Westerners! They must be from the Red Cross."

"Please take a seat, Captain Yamaguchi."

Once again, Yamaguchi read these words in his heart. In the prisoner of war camp, these words were his hope! There are also numbers that are getting closer and closer. As long as you don’t make mistakes and work hard, you can go home in a year and a half at most.

who is it?

Just as people were eagerly waiting for letters and condolences from their families, a guard soon came over and shouted.

"Have!"

Soon, Yamaguchi entered the chief's office, where he saw three Westerners.

After a hard day's work, the exhausted Yamaguchi, like everyone else, returned to the camp with tools. On the way back to the camp, a few guys saw the bare-breasted natives on the roadside. Although they They looked like a yaksha, but they still went over happily, gesturing and taking out their collection of cigarettes, candies and other things. Soon, those guys pulled the dark-skinned women into the rain forest. .

"Yamaguchi Ichiro!"

"Xinxi, now there are cigarettes and candies!"

"What are your orders, sir?"

The other person spoke Chinese. Yamaguchi Ichiro, who had not heard this name for a long time, was stunned for a second or two before he realized what he was saying.

There was laughter all around. For these men in the prisoner of war camp, meeting such an indigenous woman was simply a gift from heaven. In fact, most of them had tried it. And that's why Aboriginal women are here.

In the dense rainforest, the sound of chain saws and the sound of rain mixed into a symphony. In this way, these prisoners sawed down the trees bit by bit, then used explosives to blow open the rock wall, and dug a path along the mountain leading to the mining area on the top of the mountain. path of.

When he sat down, he heard the other party say.

"Captain Yamaguchi, you graduated from the Japanese Army Military Academy and entered Southeast Asia with the army in 41..."

After looking through Yamaguchi's files, Hank finally closed the files, looked at him and said.

"Your transformation points are 11326. Oh, by the way, a few more points have been added today. However, even so, according to the smoothest outcome, it will probably take about 500 days to leave here."

"Yes, sir, I will work hard to reform and actively perform meritorious services to atone for my sins!"

Yamaguchi replied respectfully.

“Good attitude.”

Hank smiled. In the prisoner of war camp, he often heard such answers. In any case, these people's transformation was very positive, at least on the surface. As for their inner thoughts.

Only God knows. "However, I don't care about this. I only have one question, which is what will you do after you finish the transformation and return to Japan?"

what?

Yamaguchi Ichiro was a little confused and didn't even know why the other party asked this.

"Hunger, poverty, disease and unemployment...you should know what Japan is like now!"

Hank stood up, took out a box of Camel, smoked one and handed it to Yamaguchi. After helping him light it, he lit another one himself and took a drag, Hank said.

"Do you think you will be able to find a job when you return to Japan? What will your wife, who is looking forward to your return home, get?"

The continuous rhetorical questions made Yamaguchi keep smoking. From his wife's letters, he knew what Japan was like now. He used to hate the Nanyang people, but now he doesn't hate them anymore, because at least they can eat well here. meal. There is no need to worry about livelihood, but in Japan...if there is no job, how can we support our family?

"Perhaps I will be even more disappointed..."

Yamaguchi Ichiro sighed and said.

"It doesn't have to be like this. Now, you have a chance. Not only can you leave the prisoner of war camp, but you can also get a job and a monthly salary of 30 US dollars! According to the official exchange rate, that is eleven thousand yen. Bar!"

what!

With his eyes wide open in shock, Yamaguchi Ichiro was speechless!

Earn 11,000 yen a month!

From his wife's letter, he learned that in Japan, even college graduates can only earn more than 1,000 yen a month, and ordinary people only earn about 1,000 yen, which is barely enough to survive.

This is the annual income of an ordinary person!

And also be able to leave the prisoner of war camp immediately.

"Sir, is it true?"

Yamaguchi's eyes became fanatical, not only because of the money, but more importantly because of being able to leave the prisoner of war camp. In the prisoner of war camp, the most fatal thing was not labor, but disease. People died of various diseases every day.

Although points are everyone's hope, facing the disease and leaving here alive is simply a luxury! But even so, no one has given up hope. After all, it is the only thought that supports their survival. Once they give up hope, people will soon die in this rain forest.

"Of course, not only can you leave, but you can also pick some more people!"

"You can also choose someone else!"

Surprised, Yamaguchi realized that there was still a very important question that he had not asked.

"Can you tell me what kind of job it is?"

"I'm a recruiter for Black Knight Corporation, well, it's a private military company that provides security services."

"Private military companies?"

Looking at the confused Yamaguchi, Hank explained.

"Well, they're just mercenaries. How about it? Are you interested?"

mercenary?

Yamaguchi looked up at the Westerner in front of him, his eyes full of confusion.

What kind of mercenary?

Are you going to fight for them?

It seems that there has been no war in Nanyang for a long time.

Despite his doubts, Yamaguchi agreed without hesitation.

Because he knew very well that this was his only choice to survive, and more importantly, if he survived, he could bring a sum of money back to Japan.

At that time, the wives and children who are struggling to survive in poverty can live a good life.

"very good".

Hank nodded.

"I hope they have the best fighting qualities!"

"Please rest assured that the best soldiers will be selected."

Yamaguchi stood up quickly, stood at attention and bowed.

"There are many veterans here like me who have served in the military for a long time, and they will definitely do their best to serve the company."

Soon the news of recruiting mercenaries spread in the prisoner-of-war camp. For those Japanese prisoners of war who were suffering from diseases in the rain forest and were dying, they were all eager to be selected. After all, this was their A chance to get out of here alive.

It's a pity that there are too few people. At the end of the selection, Yamaguchi only picked a few dozen people...
