When everyone's mood calmed down a little, they put all their attention on Zheng Yi and saw what other good ideas he had. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zheng Yi leisurely lit a cigarette and made a suggestion to Zheng Xuan: "Eldest sister, after you go back, you can pay attention to the news between Jiang and Gui...... I speculate that around the Spring Festival next year, Lao Jiang is likely to make a move against the Gui family. ”

When Zheng Xuan heard this, she immediately cheered up: "Can you be sure?" ”

Zheng Yi nodded: "You only need to draw out two capable reporters to track the news of the four group armies...... In particular, the National Conference on the Deployment of the Army, which will be held at the end of the year, will be able to obtain a lot of news as long as you keep an eye on this meeting. ”

"Good! After I returned, I immediately proceeded to handle the matter, and the relationship between our Oriental News Agency and the upper echelons of the four major military groups of the National Revolutionary Army has always been very good, and we have conducted exclusive interviews with Commander-in-Chief Chiang, General Li Delin, and General Feng Huanzhang, and have always maintained a neutral and objective standpoint. ”

Zheng Xuan believes in her brother's prediction very much and is willing to follow his brother's advice.

Zheng Heng thought for a moment and asked with concern: "The Gui family has been expanding its army, is it because Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng have seen the impending crisis?" ”

Zheng Yi nodded solemnly: "That's right, not only is the Gui family preparing in secret, but Feng Huanzhang's Northwest Army is also actively expanding its armaments. ”

"The two major military groups of Li, Bai and Feng Huanzhang are different from Yan Laoxi in Jin Province, Yan Laoxi is an authentic businessman, it is precisely because of Lao Jiang's strong support that his army can squeeze Feng Huanzhang's Northwest Army out of the tax-rich Beijing and Tianjin regions, thus occupying most of Hebei and Beijing and Tianjin, thus triggering Feng Huanzhang and the Northwest Army's resentment against the Jin army, it can be seen that Lao Jiang's means of sowing discord and dividing opponents are very clever!"

"And the Gui family occupies the rich Lianghu region, forming a condescending strategic advantage over Nanjing and the southeast region, like a sharp blade held high on the head of Lao Jiang, plus the enmity between the two sides before the Northern Expedition, a fierce battle is inevitable, and I firmly believe that Lao Jiang must first clean up the Gui system to establish his authority, and absolutely cannot tolerate the continued development and growth of the Gui system."

Zheng Xuan nodded frequently, attaching great importance to Zheng Yi's opinion.

Zheng Heng finally understood at this time, and admired his younger brother's vision.

Feng Jingzhai said with a smile: "Second brother, did you decide to sell arms to the Gui family for the sake of your party's better living environment?" ”

Zheng Yi did not hide it: "This is only one of the reasons, the more important reason is that I am short of money now, so I must seize this opportunity and make a good profit, I am afraid that there will be no such shop in this village." ”

"Besides, even if I don't take the initiative to make this money, Xiao Yueben and the European and American powers will have to make it, and it's better for me to make money than to let foreigners make money."

"It's despicable! It's obviously hard to make a fortune, but you still say it so eloquently, I can convince you, haha! Feng Jingzhai made a joke, which made Zheng Xuan laugh non-stop.

Zheng Heng didn't smile, he pondered for a long time, slowly leaned back in the chair, and sighed with deep emotion: "No wonder my father always said that I lack talent in the business field, and I always can't grasp opportunities at critical moments, now it seems that this is really the case!" ”

Zheng Yi smiled slightly: "Big brother, don't say that, you are just restricted by your environment and status, and you do not lack business talent." The imminent conflict between Jiang and Gui is an excellent opportunity to make money, and at this time, we can quietly hoard food supplies and medicines and equipment. ”

Zheng Heng nodded frequently and smiled gratefully at Zheng Yi.

Feng Jingzhai had already thought of going with Zheng Yi, and immediately unceremoniously discussed with Zheng Heng and Zheng Yi the two brothers about the specific implementation measures.

……

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the north wind suddenly rose, and the temperature in the north and south of the river plummeted, and the day before I still felt stuffy in a single dress, and the next day I had to change into autumn clothes, and the full green seemed to be dyed a layer of dim yellow overnight.

Inside and outside the Hankou Customs Building, there are many sentry posts and heavy guards.

A year ago, it was a majestic customs office held by the British, but now it has become the seat of the Wuhan political branch of the Kuomintang Party, where the military and political center of the two lakes and the base camp of 150,000 Gui troops are located.

"Report to Degong, Mr. Xu Maofu, the manager of Huafeng Company, asks to see you."

Confidential secretary Yin Bingyan quietly arrived.

Li Zongren nodded, put down the brush in his hand, and smiled slightly: "It seems that this Xu Maofu has a lot of eyes and ears in Wuhan, I only rushed back from southern Henan yesterday evening, and he came to visit this morning, it's not easy!" ”

Yin Bingyan said with a smile: "Maybe the arms we ordered are about to arrive." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Zongren nodded again, stood up and expanded his chest, thinking deeply: "It's time to arrive, you go and invite him in." ”

Xu Maofu, who had shiny hair and leather shoes, slowly came in under the guidance of Yin Bingyan, and saw Li Zongren carrying a small copper kettle to water the two pots of Junzi Orchid on the windowsill, Xu Maofu praised with a smile: "Degong is so Yaxing!" ”

Li Zongren laughed, put the small copper kettle on the edge of the flower plate, clapped his hands and turned around, and kindly instructed Xu Maofu to sit down and talk.

Yin Bingyan skillfully brewed a cup of welcome tea, gently put it on the coffee table in front of Xu Maofu, and then poured out the tea in the teacup for Li Zongren and replaced it with a new cup of tea.

Xu Maofu did not sit down, but stood in front of the sofa humbly, took out a letter, and presented it with both hands: "Duke De, this is the list of the first batch of goods to be shipped, including the 50,000 rounds of 75 shells specially instructed by Duke De, please take a look at Duke De." ”

"Sit down, sit down and talk, we're all old friends, where do you need to be so polite, haha!"

Li Zongren took the envelope, enthusiastically instructed Xu Maofu to sit down, took out the list in the envelope and examined it carefully, and said with satisfaction after a while: "Fifteen Siemens radio stations have also been shipped, and nearly half of the goods on the list are important materials that our army urgently needs to replenish, thank you very much!" ”

Xu Maofu explained apologetically: "Due to the shortage of goods and the fact that the British colonial army is being equipped one after another, 3,000 British-made M1928 machine guns and 800,000 rounds of 9mm ammunition will need to be delivered a month late. ”

Li Zongren was quite surprised when he heard this, looked at Xu Maofu in surprise and asked, "Is the British army also equipped with M1928 machine guns on a large scale?" ”

"Yes! At present, the British Marines stationed in Hong Kong have been equipped with two battalions, and the response after using them has been very good, and there is also a regiment of Indian colonial troops in urgent need of equipment, and the British garrisons in Singapore and Malaya will not be able to obtain a sufficient number of machine guns until the first half of next year, and it is very good that our Huafeng Company can get 3,000 units. ”

Xu Maofu replied truthfully, without exaggeration.

Li Zongren put the list and envelope on the coffee table on the side: "This new machine gun is indeed very easy to use, simple to operate, reliable in quality, the few sample guns you gave last time are deeply loved by the officers and men of our headquarters, almost every day people go to shoot a few shots to enjoy themselves, each of them has fired at least 5,000 rounds of ammunition, so far not a single gun has gone wrong, the news has reached General Jiansheng......

"The day before yesterday, General Jiansheng sent me a telegram, asking if I could send him a batch, and it is estimated that I will increase the number of purchases."

Xu Maofu thought for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't General Jiansheng lead his troops to garrison the line from Shanhaiguan to Tangshan?" You can contact the British foreign company in Jinmen! ”

Li Delin waved his hand in annoyance: "Because the French occupy Annam and our Gui Province border, there have been frequent contacts between them in recent years, and the British have always had little contact with our Gui army, and they continue to support Commander-in-Chief Chiang and General Feng Huanzhang behind their backs, so they will not sell us weapons and equipment." ”

"Then there is the fact that the arms embargo treaty on China has not yet been lifted, and the great powers will not officially trade arms with us on the surface, and most of them sell weapons to local armies through smuggling, but we are in the interior and do not have the geographical advantages of other armies, so we have to rely on your help!"

"The words of morality are heavy, there is mutual communication, and everyone will get rich together." Xu Maofu said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
