Zhou Xian and Ze Anzhi chatted for several hours, and it was only after they finished their meal that Zhou Xian left the Security Team's base.
A few weeks later, nearly ten thousand people arrived in Manchuria, all carrying clearance documents from the Royal Guard command. These individuals were all arranged by Zhou Xian, along with other members of the Security Team.
Takatsukasa Chikurin was amazed at how quickly Asuka-kun had managed to recruit members for the Security Team and came to ask him how he accomplished it. Ze Anzhi provided a simple reason: food!
Takatsukasa Chikurin nodded in agreement. In this era, hunger was a common phenomenon, especially in populous countries like China, where starvation was not an uncommon occurrence. Takatsukasa Chikurin had heard of such tragedies. Moreover, it wasn't just China; Japan faced similar issues as well.
As an island nation with more mountains than plains, Japan had limited arable land and a low food self-sufficiency rate, often relying on large imports to meet domestic demand. The hunger situation in rural areas was particularly severe due to weak economic foundations and insufficient food reserves. During wartime, rural areas bore the brunt of grain requisitioning to supply both the military and urban residents. While urban dwellers also faced hunger, their situation was somewhat better due to a certain level of resource allocation and support.
During the Russo-Japanese War, there were instances where entire villages starved due to grain requisitioning. Although Takaishi, born into a top noble family, had never experienced hunger himself, he was aware of human suffering. Thus, he fully understood Asuka-kun's method of recruiting soldiers by providing food.
In a way, Japan's occupation of Northeast Asia was closely linked to food shortages. The emergence of the Security Team would significantly alleviate the pressure of Japanese rule in Northeast Asia. According to Ze Anzhi's plan, after completing their training, the Security Team would venture out to strike or eliminate the Anti-Japanese forces spread throughout Northeast Asia.
However, little did they know that the Security Team's role was not solely about combat but rather about making connections! Subsequently, these Anti-Japanese forces would be persuaded to join the Security Team and would be integrated through monthly border patrols that would exchange some personnel.
Once the members of the Security Team had improved their physical condition and completed their tactical training as Red Party warriors, they would conduct exchanges under the guise of border patrols or exercises along the Manchurian border or on the Mongolian steppe.
They would put down their Type 38 rifles and change out of their khaki uniforms into camouflage uniforms sent by Thomas Mellon Rockefeller through Port Arthur, ready for action in the Red Zone! Meanwhile, some weaker warriors from the Red Zone would don khaki uniforms and carry Type 38 rifles at the Security Team base, where they would eat well, drink well, and train well before starting the next round of exchanges in a few months.
In just three months, Thomas Mellon Rockefeller had sent over one hundred thousand rifles from Germany into their hands; ammunition production lines and reloading facilities were established in a mountain hideout in Bayan Nur for testing production. This group of bandits had grown significantly; they rarely ventured out for robbery but would often see Japanese trucks coming and going.
For this group that had seemingly allied with the Japanese and boasted ample firepower, neither the Guomindang nor other bandits dared to provoke them.
