Chapter XXXVII
With Ren Laifeng's order, one-third of the guerrillas' strength was always maintained in combat readiness during the night when they rested in Shimen Village. However, not a single Japanese soldier was seen in the view of the observation post until the next morning. Even Ren Laifeng himself felt that Shi Shouren was chasing after the wind.
After breakfast, the guerrillas gathered neatly at the entrance of the village, ready to embark on the unfinished journey. The villagers, led by Shi Shouren, once again showed unprecedented enthusiasm and warmly welcomed the departure of the anti-Japanese guerrillas in Northeast China.
Feng Wenying was already waiting while sitting in the snow. Ren Laifeng turned over and jumped on horseback, sat behind Feng Wenying, and waved to the villagers of Shimen Village. One hand hugged the woman's waist, and the upper bodies of the two people were tightly pressed together.
Ren Laifeng just smelled the fragrance of the woman's hair, Feng Wenying had already shaken the reins and shouted, "Drive!" Feixue's body jumped forward suddenly, Ren Laifeng's body shook, and he quickly hugged Feng Wenying's *** with two hands, and followed the team to the north with one horse and two horses.
By the afternoon, Ren Laifeng had already entered the territory of Chik County. Further north of Qike County is the Heilongjiang River, and beyond the river is the territory of Soviet Russia. The place of the transaction agreed upon by the parties is not within the county seat. After Chike County was occupied by the Japanese Kwantung Army, there was a Japanese garrison in the county seat, and the Soviet Russians did not dare to openly engage in nonsense in the county seat. The location of the transaction between the two parties was in a wasteland northwest of the county seat.
Out of the county to the northwest, all the way to watch the Heilongjiang River rushing and flowing, looking at the north bank of the river, Ren Laifeng can't tell what it feels like in his heart.
In front of it is a forest, densely packed with conifers I don't know how many years it has grown, and the thickest tree has more than three people hugging each other, and the tree is more than ten meters high.
The troops carefully bypassed the pine forest, and Ren Laifeng's eyes suddenly widened! On the bank of the river in front, there is a modern army parked in the open air! Armored vehicles, artillery, and trucks are visible to the naked eye. By the way, next to these modern weapons and equipment, there are no large groups of soldiers. To be exact, there should be no one, at least on the surface, invisible.
Is this the weapon that the Russians promised to sell us? Ren Laifeng has always thought that his mentality is the best among the guerrillas, but when he sees these armored vehicles and artillery, his heartbeat is still involuntarily much faster, and even Ren Laifeng himself can hear the pounding heartbeat.
The equipment was seen by the wind, and so did the soldiers. Especially Yao Wenlong and his Flying Tiger Battalion, seeing so many vehicles, many people even cheered excitedly on the spot. The Flying Tiger Battalion is about to become a mechanized army again, and they will once again become the wings of the anti-Japanese guerrillas in the Northeast! All that needs to be done now is to walk over and drive these vehicles.
The troops quickly rushed to the front of the equipment, and finally there was a person in the convoy, who was a Soviet Russian. The bearded man in the lead looked familiar, and the bearded man also saw Ren Laifeng, "General Ren, General Ren!" The bearded man shouted as he waved his hand at Ren Laifeng.
Ren Laifeng recognized it this time, isn't this guy the Ivanovich, why did this big nose come here?
"Ivan, is that you? How did you get here? Ren Laifeng jumped off his horse, and Ivan enthusiastically stretched out his hands.
"General Ren, I didn't expect you to come in person. I'm really happy to meet you. The General knows that I have been in contact with you for the longest time, so he sent me to be the commander-in-chief of this transaction. General Ren, we are all commanders-in-chief. ”
Ivan told a joke that was not funny, and Ren Laifeng smiled politely. With this Ivanovic in charge of the transaction, things are much simpler. Both of them basically know each other's bottom line and way of doing things, so they didn't encounter any big obstacles when paying for the inspection.
Ren Laifeng paid the money, and Ivan was responsible for handing over the car keys. There is a driver in the Flying Tiger Battalion, who takes the key to the car and starts a qualified one. Ivan originally wanted to show off to Ren Laifeng how much effort he had made to transport so much equipment to Jiangnan, but he didn't know that General Ren had no interest in talking to him at all.
Ren Laifeng held his strength to test the car, he was afraid that there was a problem with one of these vehicles, in case he drove back, which car broke down and broke down halfway, wouldn't it be troublesome? Fortunately, the Soviet and Russian sides seem to attach considerable importance to the vehicles of this transaction, and none of the nearly 100 vehicles cannot be started.
All the vehicles were started, and the machine guns, artillery, and armored vehicles were checked. After checking everything that could be checked, Ren Laifeng expressed satisfaction with the sincerity of the Soviet and Russian sides in this transaction.
Pay for the goods as soon as you receive them. Ren Laifeng brought a lot of money this time, and the iron box contained two full boxes. Each chest contains brand new fiat currency. Anyway, this thing can be used in any city in my country.
It is estimated that the Russians are probably more willing to accept fiat currency, after all, with fiat currency, they can come to any market on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River to buy goods at will. Ren Laifeng felt that the fiat currency was much stronger than the ruble.
When Ivanovich received the money, he saw that it was fiat currency, and his face immediately pulled down, his face stopped smiling, and his eyes widened, "General Ren, why not a silver dollar?" Yuan Datou? "This guy even knows about Yuan Datou? Ren Laifeng paid another half point to Ivanovic.
"Ivan, don't you know that fiat currency is the most important legal tender in our country? Silver? Yuan Datou has been dead for many years, and the coins issued during his lifetime have been declared illegal by the county government of our country. I give you legal currency, you don't want it, you want to get illegal? ”
Ivanovic was fooled by Ren Laifeng's illegality. In his impression, it seems that the silver dollar is the hard currency, but how can it be said from Ren Laifeng's mouth that the silver dollar has become an illegal currency?
But if you think about it carefully, what Ren Laifeng said also makes sense. Yuan Shikai has been dead for so many years, and the coins made with his head as an image, the current government says that it will be abolished? Receiving fiat currency or cashier dollars, such a major matter Ivan himself did not dare to make the decision, he had to ask the big boss behind him.
Ivan had a wireless phone with him, and he used the phone to get in touch with Jiangbei's big nose and ask people questions about which was more valuable, the silver dollar or the fiat currency. The reply from the person on the other end of the phone is conceivable, silver dollars and fiat currencies can buy things, as long as you don't collect fake money, it doesn't matter which one.
With the answers of high-level people, Ivan naturally has nothing to worry about. Continue to inspect the car, inspect the armored car, inspect the artillery!
