Xu Chongzhi entered with the front foot, and Boss Dai followed in with Tang Cong. The boss gave him a look, Dai smiled slightly, and the two of them picked a table near Xu and sat down.

Don Cong picked up the recipe and called the waiter, "Los Angeles chicken, two plates of top-notch oysters, and finally a bottle of Casteldo vermouth." ”

Boss Dai pretended to be angry and knocked on the table, "What are you kid doing?" ”

"Order!"

"I know you're ordering, why are you ordering such an expensive dish."

Tang Cong quietly turned his head, looked at Xu's table, and deliberately raised his voice, "Anyway, the expatriate work of our Blue Coat Club uses public funds, so let's treat ourselves well." ”

This sentence attracted Xu Chongzhi, who listened intently while cutting the beef in front of him.

"Hmph, comrade, I didn't say you. Foreign forces and warlords colluded to harm China. My generation should serve wholeheartedly, how can I be greedy for public and private interests. The weapons of our Cantonese army are still very backward, and the soldiers are suffering. We should save these unnecessary administrative expenses and feed them back to the military. ”

Xu nodded, and his impression of Boss Dai was not bad.

Tang Cong knew that the time had come, and he began to complain again, "Don't mention the Yue army, it is unorganized and undisciplined. Boss He asked us to get through the arms dealers in Hankou to get them so many underground munitions, when I inspected the goods today, good guys, the cannon is engraved in Italian, it looks like a good cannon, and it also equips us with so many shells. But what about their Cantonese army, Chief Li actually ran to northern Guangdong with people. Well, it's the troops of Chief Li and Chief Xu who received this batch of munitions at the same time! Now we can only wait for Chief Li to come back with the troops, and then we will distribute them uniformly. I don't know how much time it will take. ”

As soon as the word cannon came out, Xu's heart trembled. There are many talented artillery units under him, but unfortunately when Chen defected, he took a lot of heavy weapons with him, so Xu didn't have much decent firepower. He often sighed, I don't dare to think about the German Krupp heavy artillery, even if I can add more Italian mountain artillery.

The waiter saw Dai Tang and the others grinding and chirping, and he asked, "Those two gentlemen, do you still want the meal you ordered just now?" ”

Boss Dai waved his hand again and again, "Don't want it, bring us two some croissants, and then make a soup casually." ”

The waiter was just about to leave, but was stopped by Xu, "Slow, the dishes they just ordered are served, and I will pay for them." ”

Dai was very calm in his heart, but he still looked back at Xu with a feigned surprise on his face, he stood up and hurriedly saluted, "Sir Xu, we didn't know you were here." ”

Xu picked up the wine and sat down on Boss Dai's table, "Oh, this is not the Executive Yuan, nor is it a military camp, so what are you doing so restrained?" ”

Boss Dai smiled bitterly, "Chief Xu, you heard what the two of us just said. ”

Xu nodded, "Let me correct it, although the Italian cannon you just mentioned is engraved with Italian characters, it is not actually made in Italy, and his real place of origin is in France." ”

Tang Cong was very surprised, "That arms dealer is actually shoddy, I, I'll kill him now." ”

"Hey, don't be so reckless. Obedient to listen, during the First World War, France produced a lot of these guns, and later many of the guns were exported to Italy when they were not used, and Italy engraved their own brands and then resold them to China. During World War I, France, the United States, and Germany were all powerful countries side by side, so this 'Italian cannon' cannot be regarded as shoddy. Xu told the origin of this cannon.

"Listening to Chief Xu's words is better than reading a book for ten years!" Boss Dai said respectfully.

"I heard from you just now that this batch of arms will not be distributed to our Cantonese army until Li Fulin and the others come back! Then where is the time, the Guangdong army Chen is eyeing the Dongjiang River together, we have new weapons that should be replenished to the front line immediately, how can we keep throwing them in the rear? ”

"What does Chief Xu mean?" Dai asked cautiously.

"Pull directly to my front-line artillery battalion!"

"But these cannons have not been tested yet, and they have not been officially handed over."

"Oh, can't you just pull it to the front line and hand over it for a test! When I open the way for you, I will say that it is at my commandment, and they will cooperate with you well. ”

Tang shook his head in embarrassment, "I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules, if Boss He knows." ”

Boss Dai glared at Tang Cong angrily, "You pig brain, what is not in order, Chief Xu's order is the rule." You should do it immediately according to Chief Xu's instructions. ”

Xu waved his hand, and his adjutant opened the way for Tang Cong on the spot. Tang Cong was extremely excited, he nodded at Dai and left in a hurry.

Dai looked at Chief Xu politely, "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

"Hey, why are you so polite by your own people. You are the boss of the Blue Coat Society! ”

Dai hurriedly waved his hand, "Sir, don't call me that, this makes me lose my life, you can call me Xiao Dai, Xiao Dai." ”

The waiter served the dishes, and Xu Bi made a gesture of please, "Let's eat quickly." ”

Outside the headquarters of the Blue Coat Society, several trucks were ready to go, and Jia Aiguo looked at his watch and was very anxious.

Tang Cong got out of the car and asked, "How are you preparing?" ”

"Captain, according to Boss Dai's orders, the submachine guns for Mr. Sun's guard troops have been transported to them. Now these trucks are transporting artillery to the front line, but we can't get through without the warrant of Chief Xu! ”

"Look what this is!" Tang Cong proudly handed over the warrant to Jia Aiguo, "Get in the car, it's time for us to show our skills!" ”

On the eastern side of the defensive position of Chen Tong, the position of the artillery was the most insignificant. Although the artillery battalion commander is a battalion commander, it is a pity that there are few cannons under his command, but even so, he will still lead his subordinates to simulate artillery training every day, and he has never stopped for a moment.

"Direction 350, one round loading, loader, hurry up, gunner, loader, don't stand there like a dead man when you load, okay, dodge." The battalion commander reprimanded him severely.

The loader had nothing on his hands, pretended to be heavy, and stuffed a cloud of air into the barrel.

"Pull the arquebus and prepare, put!" The battalion commander shouted. "Okay, good, rest."

The gunner took off his hat and complained to the battalion commander, "Battalion commander, let's do this set of actions every day, I can operate it with my eyes closed, when do you think we can give a real shot to the troops on the opposite side of Chen Tong." ”

The battalion commander smiled and rubbed the gunner's head, "Do you know how many enemies there are in Freshwater City?" They have more artillery than we do. Our current artillery reserves are not even enough for a base, and if we really fight, these broken copper and scrap iron in front of us are not as useful as a rifle of the army! ”
