The so-called 'a penny is difficult to defeat a hero', even if the Eighth Route Army implements the battlefield discipline of capturing and returning to the public. However, the Eighth Route Army, which lacks military funds, will store the funds captured on the battlefield for emergency use at critical times.

If you want to expand the troops, in addition to weapons and ammunition, you need to spend money on food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. It is undoubtedly not enough to rely on battlefield captures alone to maintain the expenses of the growing troops. Many times, the Eighth Route Army also needed to spend money on supplies.

Looking at the medicine brought by Hu Biao, Mr. Zhu and others knew that it was a good thing, and the price Hu Biao also gave it very affordable. But the problem is that if they have to pay so much money at one time, it will inevitably affect the development of the army and the supply of materials.

In fact, for Hu Biao, it didn't hurt to give this batch of medicines to the Eighth Route Army. But he felt that others didn't cherish the things they gave away for free. Even if he has a heart to give it away, I'm afraid that some people will think that he has bad intentions.

Thinking of this, Hu Biao took the initiative to speak: "General Zhu, are you still satisfied with the price of medicines?" ”

"The price is fair! It's just that Captain Hu should know that it is difficult for us to pay so much money at once. Since the formation of the unit, we have received very little military salaries, and it is indeed difficult for us to pay such a large sum of money in terms of funds. ”

Regarding what Mr. Zhu said, Hu Biao pretended to hesitate for a while before saying, "Jin Suijun should be richer than you, right?" ”

"That's nature! They have received a lot more pay and supplies than we do. In addition, Yan Laoxi is a rich man, and it should not be a problem for him to feed this little army under his command. What does Captain Hu mean? ”

"I have a suggestion that you might want to consider. This is my first time in the north, and I should have a chance to come back in the future. If you want to do business with me, then the northern drug market can be handed over to you.

Although I have no control over the nationwide drug trade, I believe that other people must sell drugs at a higher price than me. I can give you some of this batch of medicines on credit. You can sell the rest of the medicine to Jin Suijun.

The price is yours to set. You can save the extra money for me first, and then pay it together for the next transaction. I also need to pay silver dollars and gold to buy these medicines. Advance a part, but it's not a big problem.

Just for the next deal, I hope your army will raise enough cash. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to sustain this kind of business. This is our first transaction, and I've already made a lot of profits, so I can't lose all my money! ”

Listening to what Hu Biao said, Mr. Zhu and the others immediately rejoiced: "Captain Hu is not afraid that we will repay the debt?" ”

"I believe that the credibility of your army is still guaranteed. I believe that your army will not do such a thing. This money for medicine has been lost, and I can still earn it back from other places. But for your army, it is impossible to buy such a cheap medicine! ”

"Good! How much deposit do we need to pay for this transaction? ”

"General Zhu, let's talk about it! But I hope that it cannot be less than 30% of the total amount! ”

Knowing that Hu Biao had already given money to the cabbage for these medicines, if he sold a batch of medicines to Jin Suijun, I believe that the Eighth Route Army would also be able to earn back the money to buy all the medicines. The extra medicine is equivalent to not spending a penny. Who would refuse such a good thing?

The price of 30%, although it is more than 30,000 oceans, but Mr. Zhu feels that it is okay to squeeze it. Sell a batch of drugs first, and the money paid to Hu Biao can be quickly recovered. Therefore, he didn't say anything more.

Just after negotiating the conditions, Tutor Deng suddenly said: "Captain Hu, take the liberty of asking, there will be no other buyers in the north, right?" ”

"You can rest assured! In the south, I only deal with the military commanders, and they are also in urgent need of medicines. If you are in the north, I will only trade with you. At least I can guarantee that the medicine sold from my hands must be so! ”

"As far as I know, the Japanese army has strengthened drug control, and the bulk drug trade is strictly controlled. How did Captain Hu buy so many medicines? I know this question is a bit presumptuous, and I ask Captain Hu to forgive me! ”

Faced with Mentor Deng's questioning, Hu Biao said with a smile: "Earlier I participated in the Battle of Songhu, and I had a good relationship with an American businessman in the concession. I entrusted him to purchase these medicines on my behalf, and then used my channels to ship them out of Shanghai.

Although the little devils restricted the circulation of Western medicine, they still could not prohibit it in the concession. The difficulty is not in buying the medicine, but in how to get it out. I have this channel, and I am not afraid of the inspection of the little devils, so I can naturally ship the medicine out of Shanghai.

There are no more than three transactions like this in a year. If possible, trade semi-annually. I only do bulk trading, and I don't have much interest in selling in bulk. Like all of you, I have to support the people around me on my own! ”

"So, you can get other things besides medicines?"

"It depends on what you need! Radios, small machinery, small batches of weapons and equipment, nothing is a problem! ”

It is clear that the Japanese army controlled the coast of China, and many military supplies were strictly controlled by the Japanese army. There are some things that you can't buy even if you have money. Even if it is a civilian machine tool and equipment, at present, the little devils are strictly forbidden to enter the area where the anti-Japanese war troops are located.

Hearing what Hu Biao said, Mr. Zhu also quickly said: "In this case, if we have the materials we need in the future, can we also entrust you to buy them?" Can you also purchase such things as machine tools? ”

"If you want to see what kind of machine tool, a large machine tool will definitely not work. For small machines, the problem should not be big. You should know that the transportation of large machine guns must use cars and trains, and it is difficult to avoid the inspection of the little devils. ”

"This is natural! How can we get in touch if we need it? ”

"Send a telegram! If you need to purchase in the future, you can send me a telegram first, and then I will ask my friends for a quote. Confirm the price and I'll call you back. If you think it's a good deal, then you can place an order to prepare funds.

Wait for me to deliver the goods, and you can pay for it. It's just that I work part-time in business, and fighting wars is my job. After all, the north and south are a bit far away, and the time for each round trip is too long, so the number of transactions cannot be too much. ”

"Good! We'll make a note of this, and we'll get back to you if we need it in the future! ”

After talking about business, Hu Biao also accepted Mr. Zhu's invitation and had a light meal in this small farmhouse courtyard. Although they are all home-cooked dishes, Hu Biao still knows that such a hearty meal is rare for the people present.

Taking this opportunity, Hu Biao also took out a few bottles of good wine. Seeing the wine brought by Hu Biao, everyone also felt very happy. For them, even if they are high-ranking commanders, there are really not many opportunities to really drink wine and eat meat.

After eating, Hu Biao also took Mr. Zhu and his entourage to the school outside the village to conduct a gun test. Regarding the resettlement of the Huang family, Mr. Zhu also personally said that he would send someone to send the Huang family to Yan'an so that the rear could be properly resettled.

After listening to Mr. Zhu's promise, Hu Biao also said directly: "Mr. Zhu, they are all ordinary people, and they don't need to give any special treatment." At the very least, I hope that they can live a peaceful life without too much attention. ”

Understanding the meaning of Hu Biao's words, Mr. Zhu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I've written it down!" No one will bother them! ”

Arriving at the temporarily deployed shooting range, looking at the wine bottle hanging from the tree 600 meters away, Mr. Zhu, who was holding a sniper rifle, looked at it and said, "This scope is really far away!" But is this distance too far? ”

"It's hard for an ordinary sniper to get a single shot! At six hundred meters, the bullet is also affected by the wind speed, and the longer the range, the greater the deviation of the bullet. If you want to become a qualified sniper, you also need to feed it with bullets, and you need to find more feelings! ”

"Yes! Sharpshooters, in fact, are fed with bullets, right? ”

Deputy Division Commander Xu, who was standing on the side, also held a sniper rifle and tried it, and found that with the naked eye alone, the wine bottle 600 meters away was too blurry and basically couldn't be seen clearly. If you look through the scope, you can see it clearly.

If you just want to hit a wine bottle with one shot, you must also have the ability to shoot accurately. Knowing that the sniper team around Hu Biao was actually trained by Hu Biao, Deputy Division Commander Xu also smiled and said, "Captain Hu, can you show your marksmanship?" ”

"That's fine! These guns are all calibrated by me, and I should be more sure. After the sniper rifle is fired, it is best to use it with a special person. Only by controlling the theft of the gun can we achieve the realm of the unity of man and gun. ”

Hu Biao, who said this with a smile, did not refuse to demonstrate his marksmanship. Chaotian Tiezhu stretched out his hand to ask for five bullets, and after putting them into the magazine, Hu Biao pulled the bolt to load the bullets, and then picked up the sniper rifle in his hand to aim.

The requirements for shooting in a standing position are naturally higher than those for shooting in a lying position. But in Hu Biao's opinion, these guns were calibrated and modified by him personally, and in terms of the familiarity of the guns, those members of the sniper team are naturally inferior to him.

After a little aiming, Hu Biao shot decisively. Gunshots rang out, and a crisp popping sound was soon heard ahead. Through the binoculars, Mr. Zhu and others also said loudly: "Okay! One shot hits, Captain Hu's pistol technique is really amazing! ”

"Practice makes perfect! If you don't try it all, 600 meters is a bit difficult, and the goal of 3 or 400 meters should be better. ”

"Okay, let's try it too! Hit the 300-meter target first, then try the farther target! ”

knew that Hu Biao was not provocative, but wanted them to experience the power of the sniper rifle for themselves. Mr. Zhu and the others did not refuse, they picked up a sniper rifle one after another, and listened to Hu Biao explain the essentials of aiming. These shooting essentials are not much different from ordinary rifles.

The only thing that needs to be done is that the gun must be steady when firing, and the slightest shaking of the bullet may knock it off. Fortunately, Mr. Zhu and others are all battlefield veterans, and their marksmanship is naturally extraordinary. For a time, gunshots rang out from time to time at the shooting range.

Looking at the wine bottles that were burst one after another, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were in charge of vigilance were also extremely happy. In their opinion, with such a rifle with a scope, there is nothing to be proud of in a hundred steps. This gun should be a must-have for sharpshooters!
