Wu Peifu took a sip of the teacup and said, "Well, I can have today because of your father Hu Xingbang, and my father should take care of you when his father is not there." Go and call me your betrothed daughter-in-law, and I'll take care of your father. ”

"It's easy to say, Wen Kai asked Carotta to fly over in the afternoon." Liang Qichao said for him.

"I thought that the Wen Kai family was so big that I didn't want to recognize my uncle, it turned out to be like this, I saw that Wujiang and Nantong did a good job, and my uncle thought you were better than your father. These buildings are also first-class in China. ”

"It's one thing for me to come here to confess my relatives this time, the key thing is that you kid is very clear, Zhang Zuolin's weapons in the northeast can't be sold anymore, especially artillery, if you sell them, you can only sell them to me, Adjutant Zhang came in." Wu Peifu shouted his adjutant.

Hu Wenkai knew that the Zhifeng War was about to start after April, and the company, as the main supplier of weapons to Zhang Zuolin in Northeast China, no wonder Wu Peifu was in a hurry.

"You kid is ruthless, Qi Xieyuan's three brigades will be eaten if you say you say to eat, if it weren't for my nephew, Cao Kun and Cao Laoshuai's army of more than 100,000 would have been pressed over a long time ago."

Hu Wenkai knew that this was also part of the truth, but even if Cao Kun's troops came over, he didn't care, didn't he want it in the rear, his own troops were not vegetarian, and the fully mechanized troops did not have such a configuration when looking at the whole world.

There is no way to get this favor, only a smirk.

Liang Qichao saw that they started to talk about business and got up to find a reason to go out, Hu Wenkai glanced at Wang Changrong, and Wang Changrong stood up and left with interest.

"Nephew Wen Kai, don't blame Wang Changrong, this kid, he has been afraid of me since he was a child, I don't let him say that he doesn't dare to tell you. He didn't have two hearts this time, after all, we are uncles and nephews. ”

"Uncle, how can my nephew blame Evergreen, thank you for it is too late, it is a happy event for our uncle and nephew to meet."

The adjutant took out the list from his official bag and handed it to Hu Wenkai, looking at the list, Hu Wenkai gasped, this amount is too big to be able to get it, and the price is slightly higher than that given to Zhang Zuolin.

Hu Wenkai also has his own small abacus, if he seriously destroys the strength of the Feng army in the first Zhifeng War, then he will have more room for maneuver in the northeast.

Picked up the phone in the conference room: "Pick me up Li Congshan, well, I'm Hu Wenkai, you will bring a detailed list of Zhang Zuolin's arms transactions in the northeast, as well as a few Type 20 rifles." ”

"Uncle, I read this list, the caliber of the artillery you want is too big, the maximum caliber we trade with the Northeast is 75 guns, you let me think of a way to reply to you before you leave, the tank is only traded to the Northeast six or seven, if you want, there are more than 30 French "Renault" FT-17 light tanks in the warehouse, but they are all used. I have the latest rifle here, which should be considered the best afternoon of the day, and I can test the gun and inspect the goods. ”

"105 caliber is more difficult to do, I want to get a tank to Hebei within a week, and if I am satisfied with the afternoon inspection of the rifle, I will order 5,000 and 2 million rounds of ammunition."

"You kid tell your uncle the truth, what the hell do you want to go to? I am as close as a brother to your father, and even Cao Kun is not as affectionate as me and your father. You are my son. ”

"Uncle, I have only one thought: to build China into a prosperous and prosperous country, so that the people can stay away from the war and regain the lost land." Hu Wenkai replied calmly, he has already taken the first step to forcibly occupy most of Jiangsu, and it would be too good to show his fangs again.

"I'll stay here for two days, you kid let me see your strength, let's discuss this topic again, how are you going to receive your uncle at noon?"

"At noon, my nephew thinks it's okay to order a light meal and a formal banquet in the evening?"

"That's okay, there's something to do in the afternoon, and I definitely can't have fun at noon, so I finally want to see my nephew, well, it's better to put it in the evening."

Walking out of the conference room, I saw Wang Changrong and Wang Changhui standing in the corridor with a little trepidation: "How is the boss talking?" ”

"After sending my uncle away, the two of us have an account and slowly settle it."

Hearing Hu Wenkai's answer like this, Wang Changrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Changhui took Wu Peifu's arm and walked forward with a smile.

Chen Jiaxiang had already arranged the accommodation, led Wu Peifu to take a short rest, Hu Wenkai returned to the office, and his teacher and Wu Hongxia sat there, reading the newspaper and listening to the radio.

After briefly explaining the situation just now, he said to Liang Qichao: "Teacher, I know you have a lot to say, first of all, you will help the students accompany Wu Peifu today." ”

Liang Qichao immediately relieved himself when he heard that Hu Wenkai did not call Wu Peifu his uncle: "Wenkai, you don't say that I can't leave today, but I think the benefits outweigh the disadvantages." ”

Hu Wenkai nodded, this teacher is a good person, grabbed the phone and asked the staff of the Yanyang military camp to immediately roughly analyze the strength comparison between Zhang Zuolin and his direct family, and give the results before the afternoon.

The office was quiet, and Hu Wenkai pondered what the ultimate goal of this cheap uncle was, and what pros and cons he could give him at this stage. The First Great War ended with a direct victory over the British mediators, and the British mediation should have been Japan's private efforts to protect Zhang Zuolin in order to safeguard their interests in the Northeast.

If there is no British mediation, what will be the outcome of the direct family's triumphant march to the Northeast? Even a bite in the Northeast is a huge benefit. He has changed a lot when he came to this time and space, and he doesn't care about changing the key to look at the afternoon and tomorrow Wu Peifu's attitude, the warlords are all based on their own interests, and they can't be trusted.

After lunch, the motorcade drove to the Yanyang barracks, and Hu Wenkai drove the car along the way to introduce Wu Peifu's experience in Shanghai and Haimen and the disturbance of the people by Qi Xieyuan's troops.

"Wen Kai, your development in the past two years is also a miracle, but you still have to be careful not to be too popular. Uncle's troops can't take care of you in the north, and Qi Xieyuan is not so easy to talk Beware of him joining forces with Lu Yongqiang. ”

He nodded and said, "I'm not afraid of Lu Yongqiang sending troops, I'm just Qi Xieyuan, I don't know how to deal with this person, after all, I am a friend in the same camp as my uncle, and I am afraid of causing trouble to my uncle." ”

"Wen Kai, you should be quiet during this time, the entire direct line is fully busy with the decisive battle with the Feng family, and you can do this with Qi Xieyuan's actions. I can let him settle for the status quo and not provoke you when I go back, and then transfer his two brigades to the north, if you really want to move, you can find Lu Yongqiang to start, but I am not optimistic about you, Lu Yongqiang has tens of thousands of horses, to say the least. ”

What can I say, the bottom line is drawn, that is, the Jiangsu situation that the Beiyang government has recognized as a fait accompli.

After passing through three identification cards along the way, they entered the Yanyang barracks, and the officer on duty trotted over to report that the various departments were training according to the training plan, and asked Hu Wenkai for instructions.

He said: "The training was carried out according to the original plan, and we were taken to the tank training site to observe"

The "Renault" FT-17 light tank was not ready to be wanted, and the price offered by the French side was too low, which was equivalent to half buying and half giving away, so it is no wonder that the French side wanted to sell the military funds to support the Russian army in the Far East at half price. The ship has been parked in Shanghai Port, so Hu Wenkai picked up a bargain.

The Renault FT-17 light tank has the engine, gearbox, and driving wheels in the rear, and the driving and other control devices in the front, and only one driver is needed. Its advanced turret is located in the middle and front of the hull, which has the commanding height of the whole car and can rotate 360 degrees. Both models of Yanyang barracks are equipped with one 8-mm machine gun with 4,800 rounds of ammunition, and the other is equipped with a 37-mm short-barreled gun with 237 rounds of ammunition.

The performance of this light tank is 108,000 miles worse than the armored infantry vehicles used by his own troops, but it is this kind of tank that Wu Peifu can't leave his eyes.

The Renault FT-17 slowly climbed down the dirt slope, and the machine gunner fired at the bullseye in the distance.

In the center of the shooting range was a lone "Renault" FT-17 light tank, and Wu Peifu's entourage was lying on the ground and firing only to hear a clanging sound, and the bullet hit the tank's 22mm armor and bounced off.

Li Manqiang handed Wu Peifu a grenade, which made an arc in the air and hit the tank and exploded. The tanker trotted on, climbed onto the tank, started and drove over for Wu Peifu and his party to inspect.

There were only some scratches left on the tank, everything was normal, Wu Peifu carefully touched the scratches on the tank armor and said: "Wen Kai, how many tanks can be sold, the price is not a problem." ”

Hu Wenkai opened the list sent by Li Congshan and said: "Uncle, we sold seven of these tanks with relatively poor performance to Zhang Zuolin, and his model only has a machine gun and is not equipped with a 37mm short-barreled gun. Now we have thirty-two more here, seventeen of which are armed with 37-mm short-barreled guns. The performance is better than that of Zhang Zuolin's batch. ”

"Let's take a look at the tanks with 37mm short-barreled guns." Hu Wenkai nodded at Li Manqiang, who waved a small red flag and a tank equipped with a 37mm short-barreled gun drove slowly over.

The tank's 37-mm short-barreled gun was constantly spitting out flames, and the sound of dense explosions in the distance could be heard from bursts of dirt billowing smoke. Much more ferocious than the 8mm machine gun.

Wu Peifu put down the binoculars and said to him: "Wen Kai, you can tell me a price, my uncle wants it all." ”

Hu Wenkai handed him the list and glanced at it and said, "Uncle add 10%, you send a few people over to help me train tank soldiers." ”

Without waiting for him to speak, Li Congshan said on the side: "There should be no problem, but what do we use to train tank soldiers, they are all sold out." ”

Hu Wenkai glared at Li Congshan fiercely: "Is there a place for you to speak?" ”

Wu Peifu is also a little embarrassed, after all, he has hollowed out all his family resources.

"Wen Kai, let's go test the gun."

A wooden box of ten Type 20 rifles on the shooting range had been opened, and after Li Manqiang demonstrated how to reload and aim and shoot, Wu Peifu couldn't help but pick up a reload and shoot when he looked at this beautifully made rifle.

Clapping the rifle in his hand and looking at it over and over again, Hu Wenkai casually disassembled a rifle on the side and said: "This is a Type 20 rifle, which uses 5 rounds* to reload bullets, and the bullets are pressed into the magazine through the top of the receiver, and can also be loaded in a single shot." It features a down-curved pull handle for easy carrying, a curved ruler, a "V" notched door, and an inverted "V" crosshair with a round shroud. The caliber is 7.92, the effective firing range is 800 meters, and the empty gun weighs 7 catties. ”
