"You can change it!" Chief of Staff Zhou gave the other party an affirmative answer.

The lieutenant general borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and returned to his position.

Take out the list that the Eighth Route Army gave them two days ago and analyze: "The economic pressure in the theater is too great, and you will be given a pension of 200,000 oceans at most, and the rest of the pension will be replaced with grenades." ”

"Produced by the regular arsenal, a grenade with a wooden handle and a layer of iron shell to increase its power, a total of three oceans, we will deduct it at this price, and all the pensions owed to your army will be replaced with grenades and iron shells."

"The mountain artillery will be done according to the proposal just now, no matter how many are negotiated, all of them will be replaced with mortars to compensate your army."

"The heavy machine-gun combat zone can't give that much."

"I will compensate you for a maximum of twelve, and all the remaining heavy machine guns will be replaced with light machine guns, and one heavy machine gun will be replaced by three light machine guns."

"In addition, if your army is in need, and the theater of operations cannot take out so many light machine guns, we hope to replace light machine guns with submachine guns."

"There is not so much ammunition to be compensated to your army, especially artillery shells, not only for you, but also for the war zone."

"In addition to three thousand mortar shells, all the remaining shells were replaced with grenades!"

A logistics cadre sitting next to him quickly recorded the lieutenant general's proposal, and then spent ten minutes changing things and reorganizing them into a list.

After reading the data on the list, Chief of Staff Zhou handed it to the other party: "This is a list that we have re-made according to your requirements. ”

"Including a pension of 200,000 oceans, 350,000 grenades, 3,000 artillery shells, 1.5 million rounds of ammunition of all kinds, 44 mortars, 12 heavy machine guns, the same number of light machine guns and rifles, and an additional 500 submachine guns."

Having just taken over the list, the lieutenant general was in a very good mood.

The grenade is a melee weapon, and it is a one-time consumable, and it will be lost if it is used, and it will not increase the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

Replace the ocean and artillery shells with grenades, and the theater of operations will definitely raise both hands in favor.

Although the current arsenal in the theater only has less than 30% of the production capacity of the Taiyuan Arsenal, many weapons cannot be produced.

But a simple weapon like a grenade can.

If we go all out, we will be able to produce 350,000 grenades in a month at most.

The deduction criteria on the list are three oceans, one grenade and a matching iron shell, which is the market price.

In fact, the grenade is produced by the war zone itself, and many raw materials do not cost money, and the cost of producing a grenade and the matching iron shell may be less than two oceans.

This coming and going is equivalent to saving more than 300,000 oceans for the war zone.

But looking at it, the lieutenant general couldn't laugh.

Adding up all the compensation on the list, he found that the Eighth Route Army had not lowered its asking price, and it was still eighty percent of the initial asking price.

This is equivalent to saying that the bargain with them at the beginning is in vain, and there is no meaning.

His expression returned to seriousness, and he looked at Chief of Staff Zhou and said, "No, compared with the old list, the new list is just that things have changed, and the total amount has not decreased." ”

"Chief of Staff Zhou, you guys are too inauthentic, I have spent so long talking about it, even if I am compensated by one percent!"

Chief of Staff Zhou replied very firmly: "One percent can't be lowered." ”

"Eighty percent is our bottom line, and if we descend again, I and Commander Li will become sinners of the Eighth Route Army, and I am sorry for the soldiers who died and were injured in the Datong War."

The atmosphere in the conference room, which was still relaxed just now, instantly solidified.

Both sides fell into deep thought with calm faces, and the whole negotiation seemed to be at an impasse again.

At this moment, Li Hao suddenly spoke, and asked very dissatisfiedly: "General Zhou, it would be too unauthentic for you to let us lower the compensation." ”

"Considering that the war zone is really difficult, we will replace the pensions and shells that we can't get out with grenades according to your requirements, which is cheap enough for you, what do you want to do!"

"Don't think I don't know the cost of producing grenades."

"Our Eighth Route Army also has its own arsenal, but the production equipment is not as good as yours."

"In our arsenal, the cost of producing a grenade and a matching iron shell is two and a half oceans at most, and your production cost will definitely be lower."

"This means that the 350,000 grenades we agreed to exchange have already saved you nearly 300,000 oceans, and you can't be dissatisfied."

The lieutenant general was embarrassed again, but he didn't expect Li Hao to even know the cost of grenade production, and directly said the little abacus in his heart.

But even so, the asking price of the Eighth Route Army is still too high, and the war zone will definitely not agree.

can only be cheeky and shake the pot: "Commander Li, I admire you for your knowledge, and you even know the cost of grenade production." ”

"But we don't know, and the theater commanders don't know, they will only calculate these compensation based on market value, not at cost."

I would like to put forward another thought: "According to the compensation data on the new list, there are 10 fewer mortars, 30 less light machine guns, 500,000 fewer rounds of ammunition, 1,000 fewer rifles, 200 fewer submachine guns, and nothing else. ”

Before Li Hao could open his mouth to refuse, Chief of Staff Zhou had already spoken.

"No......"

"You guys have cut too much, and you open your mouth to be the equipment of a regiment."

"Our Eighth Route Army has a weak foundation, and according to your approach, the troops have already been wiped out, I don't agree."

At this moment, Li Hao suddenly spoke, breaking the atmosphere of the conference room that had been re-solidified: Chief, "General Zhou, I have a proposal, if you agree, we don't need the equipment of this regiment." ”

"What's the solution?" The lieutenant general hurriedly asked.

As long as the compensation in the new list can be subtracted by one more regimental equipment, then they will be worth less than a main division, and the theater of operations will definitely agree.

Li Hao did not answer, but laid a map flat on the negotiation table.

Pointing to the two areas marked with pencils on them, he introduced: "These are the four towns in Datong that are close to the garrison regiment base area and the northwest Shanxi base area, and the theater has assigned these four towns to our Eighth Route Army for management, and we don't need the equipment of this regiment." ”

"What the war zone wants is Datong City and large and small coal mines in the territory."

"These four towns are far away from Datong City, not only is it inconvenient for you to manage, but there are only a few small coal mines, if you give us something, you will not have any loss, and you can save the equipment of a regiment."

"As long as you agree, we will sign an agreement now, and promise to hand over Datong to your army within three days."

The lieutenant general did not know what the purpose of the Eighth Route Army was in these four towns.

But one thing Li Hao said is right.

It is true that these four towns are too far away from Datong City, and there are only a few small coal mines, which are not of great value.

More importantly, they are close to the base area of the Eighth Route Army, and if they are controlled by the war zone, they will also arrange a large number of troops to defend and prevent the Eighth Route Army from infiltrating Datong.

After a few minutes of thinking, the lieutenant general agreed to Li Hao's proposal.
