Zhou Cheng didn't understand and frowned and asked, "This is not right! Grain merchants exploit the people the most, and grain is a necessity that ordinary people have to eat every day. The demand must be very large. According to the principle, the Japanese who sell grain should be the richest, but what you just said was a drug dealer."

The intelligence officer quickly explained: "I couldn't figure out the reason at first. After a long time, I gradually realized that selling a large amount of things does not necessarily mean that it is a big money."

"Although the demand for drugs is not as high as food, and is less than one percent, it is very expensive. Compared with food, it can be considered real violence."

"If the medicine that is purchased at one piece of ocean is sold in the hands of the Japanese, it is likely to be sold at ten pieces of ocean. It depends on whether the Japanese are happy or not and whether they are willing to sell it."

"Shit..." Zhou Cheng was so scared that he took a breath, and then asked another question: "The Japanese sell at such a high price, and the people can't afford it, so they can't sell the medicines in their hands. How can they make money?"

The intelligence officer explained very much: "I definitely can't make much money from ordinary people. Unless it is a fatal disease, the villagers must have taken traditional Chinese herbal medicines from our Chinese, and no one spends so much money to buy Western medicine!"

"The real goal of the Japanese to make money is our Eighth Route Army and the War Zone..."

"On the battlefield, whether in the war zone or the Eighth Route Army, a large number of wounded people will be generated every day."

"A gunshot wound is different from a common cold. Using Chinese medicine not only slows down, but also can easily lead to wound infection and eventually loses life. If you have Western medicine, it is best to use Western medicine."

"Especially for seriously injured people, a large amount of special medicine must be used to save their lives."

Follow the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow it and get cash and order coins!

"We can't produce Western medicine by ourselves, and we don't give it to the war zone. We can only find ways to buy it from the black market at a high price. The high-priced medicine on the black market was released by these Japanese!"

"We have limited funds and can only buy a small amount of medicines at a time. It is very simple to pay for one hand on the black market."

“There is a lot of demand for medicines in the war zone.”

"The drugs allocated by Chongqing to the Second World War Zone are not enough to meet half of the demand, and the remaining drug gap can only be purchased by the war zone itself."

"Because their demand for drugs is very high, they can negotiate directly with Japanese drug dealers and get the drugs at a price slightly lower than the black market."

"But even so, the price they bought medicines was several times that before."

"Comrade, do you know the two Western medicines, sulfonamide and morphine?"

Zhou Cheng nodded: "Sulphonamide is the most useful anti-inflammatory drug for our treatment of gunshot wounds. Because of its existence, the chances of the injured from infection are several percent lower."

"Momorphine is an anesthetic, and it is necessary for surgery. Without him, the surgery would not be possible."

The intelligence officer said, "You are right. These two drugs are essential for the army, and the gap is very large. Almost every wounded person needs to use it. But we in China cannot produce them, and it all depends on imports."

"The morphine and sulfonamide that can be assigned to the war zone every month are very limited, and they cannot reach the hands of our Eighth Route Army at all. But the Japanese have it, and they sell these two medicines on the black market at a price of ten times the price."

"But in order to save a few more wounded people, we have to buy them no matter how expensive it is!"

"We spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy morphine and sulfonamide this month alone. According to the current drug prices, these morphine and sulfonamide are only enough to treat two or three hundred wounded people."

"If it were the case before, the sulfa and morphine purchased by more than 20,000 yuan were enough for one or two thousand injured."

The things I just heard were Zhou Cheng’s first hearing, shocked and did not understand, stared at the intelligence officer and asked: “Isn’t this smuggling? Do the Japanese also have traitors… No, the Japanese should call them Japanese traitors…”

"Also, these Japanese people are reselling medicines privately, will the Japanese army ignore it?"

The intelligence officer shook his head and said something that shocked Zhou Cheng even more: "They not only don't care, but they will also secretly cover up and cooperate with both parties to complete the transaction!" The intelligence officer blurted out.

Zhou Cheng felt even more puzzled and continued to ask: "Why?"

The intelligence officer explained: "My thought at the beginning was the same as you, thinking that it was a reselling drug. Only after I was inspired by my superiors did I realize that I was wrong about this."

"No matter how stupid the Japanese are, they cannot do things that destroy the Great Wall and sell their own people."

"The reason why the troops fought in front and injured people and reselled medicines to us in the rear was that they wanted to defeat us on another battlefield."

As soon as the intelligence officer analyzed, three words popped up in Zhou Cheng's mind and blurted out: "Economic war, the Japanese want to drag us down through economic war!"

A hint of surprise flashed across the intelligence officer's face, but he didn't expect that Zhou Cheng also knew about the economic war.

Nodded quickly: "It's just an economic war."

"Let me give an example. It takes 100 yuan for the sulfonamide and morphine needed for the injured from the Japanese. If we leave this 100 yuan in the base area and exchange it for food, it will take a month for a camp to eat, which is equivalent to the Japanese selling the gunshot wound medicine of three of us and taking away the funds of our regiment for a month."

"With less funding, we can support fewer troops, and the economic pressure in the base area will become increasingly greater. Even if we cannot achieve the goal of dragging us down, at least we can use these high-priced drugs to weaken our overall strength a little."

"In contrast, the Japanese make at least ten times the profit with very few medicines. After more money, they can support more troops and produce more equipment and ammunition to attack us."

"One rises and the other falls. If this situation continues, the Japanese's economic and military strength will increase, and our strength will become weaker and weaker!"

Zhou Cheng understood that while the Japanese used military forces to attack the Chinese army, they were also secretly using various means to fight economic war with China, weakening the war potential of the entire country, and finally dragging China down.

At this time, the intelligence officer in front of him continued to speak: "In addition to reselling drugs at high prices, the Japanese are also secretly robbing us of bad luck."

"We sold our medicines in the first place, and immediately notified the Special High School to snatch the medicines back in the name of reselling military supplies. At the beginning, we did not prepare. The two consecutive drugs purchased were snatched away by the Special High School in the second place halfway, and a large number of intelligence personnel were also lost."

"We only began to pay attention to drug transportation after taking two losses. We planned the transportation route in advance, and transferred the medicines when we got them, avoiding the eyes and ears of the special high school courses. Even so, a lot of drugs were still lost in the middle."

"After the Special High School snatched the medicine back, it continued to be sold to us on the black market, which was equivalent to the Japanese getting a large amount of money from us without paying anything."

Zhou Chengdu was confused when he heard this. The Japanese sold their own medicines, and then notified the Special High School to grab the medicines they sold. This method of black eating is too shameless.

Since everyone knows that the Japanese are eating badly, why do you still have to buy medicine from them with money? Isn’t this just throwing yourself into the trap and giving money to the Japanese for nothing?

Zhou Cheng couldn't figure it out and couldn't help but express his inner doubts.

The intelligence officer's face was full of helplessness: "Comrade, we don't want to buy medicine from these people, and then be slapped by them. They compensated their wife and soldiers. But there is nothing we can do!"

"There are only the only ones in Shanxi who have medicine in their hands. If we don't buy it from them, we will have no medicine. Do we watch the wounded die of illness because there is no medicine?"

"Although we know that the Japanese will use economic war to drag us down, and we also know that they will further increase our losses through black eating, in order to get the medicine, we can only drill into this trap. The only way to break the situation is to find ways to send the medicine back to the base area, and not give the Japanese a chance to eat black eating and reduce the losses."

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng's face became even more angry.

He thought of the current situation of the National Salvation Army.

Since the war zone did not like the National Salvation Army, the regiment has never received a pill allocated from it.

If some were not seized from the Japanese army, the national rescue army would have faced the dilemma of no medicine available.

The war zone will definitely not be able to count on it. The troops will either continue to seize it from the Japanese or buy it from the black market at a high price.

Zhou Cheng likes the first method the most, but this takes time. Not all the Japanese have large batches of medicines in their hands.

Therefore, after the remaining medicines in the army were used up, they must use the second method, like the Eighth Route Army to purchase medicines from the black market, and then they will also face the economic war and black eating of the Japanese.

I finally came to Taiyuan, but my original idea was to deal with the bank controlled by the Japanese and seize a large amount of funds and go back.

Now that the bank can't move, he can only settle for the second best, and attack Japanese drug dealers and grain dealers to make up for the losses.

Thinking of this, a very bold plan suddenly flashed through Zhou Cheng's mind.

Japanese drug dealers can eat bad things during the transaction process. Why can't they go against the rules? Let Japanese people taste the taste of eating bad things. In the end, they lose their wife and soldiers, and they can't get anything.

He quickly asked the intelligence officer in front of him: "The Japanese drug dealer has the support of him, and the Special High School Course cooperates with us to get rid of the bad guys during the transaction. Then the drug dealer has a very good relationship with the military. It will definitely be unobstructed in Taiyuan City, and no one dares to bully him!"

"Of course!" the intelligence officer nodded and replied.

"Because of frequent transactions outside the city, this drug dealer can not only enter and exit Taiyuan City at any time, but also does not have to be inspected by the city defense forces."

"As far as I know, this drug dealer not only resells medicines with the cooperation of the Japanese army and the Special High School, but also does some arms business in private."

"Because there is no need to check when entering and leaving Taiyuan City, he would hide some arms on the loaded car every time he entered and exited the city."

"Most of the income from selling medicines has to be handed over, only 10% or 20% can be put into his own pocket. But all the income from reselling arms belongs to him. We also bought a gun from him once, a total of ten box cannons and five submachine guns, 60% or 70% new, and it is obvious that it was seized by the Japanese on the front battlefield."

After hearing this, Zhou Cheng looked thoughtful: "Even the dare to sell arms, and it was seized by the Japanese from the battlefield, which means that the Japanese have a very good relationship with the military headquarters. Otherwise, he would not have such a big courage and would not have got so much arms."

After saying that, he stared at the intelligence officer and continued to ask: "Then is this Japanese afraid of death!"

"Very scared!" The intelligence officer nodded quickly.
