Chapter 266: Gunshots on New Year's Eve
Not only that, the county's Chamber of Commerce also organized people to send a lot of New Year's goods to the Black Wolf Army.
Many slaughtered pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. were loaded on the truck.
Looking at these things, the brothers of the Black Wolf Army were extremely excited.
Yuan Shuai was also moved and spoke quickly.
"Everyone, we appreciate your kindness, but we, the Black Wolf Army, feel really bad for letting you spend so much money!"
Zeng Dewen, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said while bowing.
"Brother Yuan Shuai, you are being too polite. If it weren't for your Black Wolf Army, our Linnan County would have been occupied by the devils long ago, and we wouldn't have the chance to stand here and speak. Not only did your Black Wolf Army help us drive away the devils, but you also helped us protect the county, opened factories in the county, provided jobs for the people, reduced taxes, and allowed the people to live a good life. This is a small token of our appreciation from the people of the city. I hope Brother Yuan Shuai and all the brothers in the Black Wolf Army don't think it's too little!"
"Yes, yes, we are here to thank you sincerely!"
"If you don't accept it, we won't be able to go back and explain!"
"I hope all the brothers can have a happy new year! Kill more devils in the future!"
Several wealthy businessmen who followed followed suit.
They all knew that only by keeping the Black Wolf Army could they ensure that their county would never be occupied by the Japanese devils, and only by keeping the Black Wolf Army could they continue to live a peaceful life.
This little amount of money, pooled together by so many businesses, is nothing to them.
The county magistrate also laughed.
"Brother Yuan Shuai, please stop wasting time. This is a token of our gratitude from all the people in the county. If you don't accept it, it will disappoint all the people!"
Yuan Shuai bowed and smiled.
"In that case, we the Black Wolf Army will respectfully obey your orders. Thank you very much, everyone, and thank you to all the elders and fellow villagers. I swear here that as long as we the Black Wolf Army are here, the devils will never think of occupying our Linnan County!"
"Well, the Black Wolf Army is worthy of being the Black Wolf Army!"
The county magistrate, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and all the people who came cheered.
This is exactly what they want.
With these words, they felt at ease!
Yuan Shuai continued.
"I was just thinking about building an alcohol factory. Now that you're all here, let's discuss it!"
"Alcohol factory, this is a good idea. This is what we need on the battlefield. We can use it to disinfect the wounded!"
"We agree!"
All the businessmen suddenly became excited.
After all, they all knew very well that some of them had made large and small investments in Yuan Shuai's previous factory. Although they had not made any money yet, the situation was very good and they would definitely be able to recover their costs in no time.
Moreover, the products produced by building these factories can all be used to support the front-line battlefield. They also feel that they have contributed to the anti-Japanese war and are very happy.
Yuan Shuai didn't waste any time and invited these people into a room to chat.
Alcohol is actually not difficult to refine. It can be made directly from starchy raw materials such as corn, wheat, potatoes, or sugary raw materials such as molasses, through processes such as cooking, saccharification, fermentation and distillation.
Even butanol can be extracted depending on the purity.
This is good stuff and can be used to replace gasoline.
Their team had a lot of captured cars, including some in the county, but fuel was a big problem.
If such a plant could be built, it would solve the fuel problem.
You can also make a lot of money by selling it to the national army and other troops.
In addition, fir trees can make oil, and you can dig up some rotten fir roots to make oil.
This oil can also be refined into gasoline and diesel, lubricating oil, and can be used in diesel engines such as tanks...
After hearing this, everyone was stunned.
No one expected that alcohol and butanol could be extracted from wine to replace gasoline.
No one would have thought that pine oil could be refined into gasoline, diesel and lubricating oil.
This is simply incredible.
Yuan Shuai originally wanted the Black Wolf Army to do it alone, but the investment was too large and it would take time to recover the cost.
He can only recruit people to join.
But his Black Wolf Army owns 80 percent of the shares, and the remaining 20 percent is left to the county governor and the Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, the county magistrate and the Chamber of Commerce had no objection at all.
After all, their money is just sitting there anyway, so they might as well invest it.
Once it succeeds, it will be a big business in the future.
Soon, Yuan Shuai assigned the specific tasks and sent these people away.
The county magistrate originally wanted to invite Yuan Shuai to the county town for dinner and New Year's Eve, but Yuan Shuai directly refused.
It was so hard to spend the New Year with his brothers, so of course he wanted to be with all of them.
The county magistrate had no choice but to stay and celebrate the New Year with Yuan Shuai.
In the evening, all the brothers gathered together and the whole camp was extremely lively.
The aroma of wine wafted everywhere.
However, in the woods in the distance, a squadron of Japanese soldiers were running fast in the snow and approaching here.
After Musashi's plan failed and only three of the twelve ninjas were left, Musashi was scolded by his superior over the phone.
Musashi vowed to kill all the Black Wolf Army and avenge his previous humiliation.
Today he finally got his hope.
Because he knows that the biggest festival in China is the Spring Festival.
Especially on New Year’s Eve, everyone will go home to have a reunion dinner with their families.
The troops do the same, they all have dinner together to celebrate.
So, he personally led a squadron of Japanese soldiers to carry out a decapitation mission.
However, although Yuan Shuai's camp was celebrating, sentries were arranged to stand guard. The usual shifts were two hours, but now they were one hour, to ensure that all the sentries could return to the camp to drink and eat.
After all, it has been a year of hard work and so many battles have been fought, Yuan Shuai also wants to make his brothers happy.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, people in the county, including wealthy families in many places, started setting off firecrackers to welcome the New Year.
The 9th Company Black Wolf Army Camp also gave up firecrackers.
Hearing the sound, the Japanese soldiers who were advancing quickly thought it was a gunshot and stopped one by one.
"Musashi-kun, have we been discovered? Shooting is happening in many places!"
The Japanese squadron leader was so scared that he was sweating profusely and ran to Musashi to warn him.
"Baga, that's not the sound of gunfire, that's the sound of firecrackers. How did you become the squadron leader when you can't even tell the difference between firecrackers and gunfire?"
Musashi's words made the Japanese squadron leader's face turn red with embarrassment and he was speechless for a long time.
Musashi continued.
"Since the Black Wolf Army camp is setting off firecrackers, they must have been drinking. We will reach our destination by two o'clock. Then we can rush in while they are sleeping and kill General Yuan!"
"Hey, Musashi-kun is still wise!"
The Japanese squadron leader gave a thumbs up and praised.
