Chapter Thirty-Nine: An Alliance with the Wei Family
At around 10 o'clock in the evening of 17 May, in a bungalow in a military camp not far from Kangshan Port, Wei Jingrong and his two nephews, Wei Ningkun and Wei Ningyi, had not yet slept.
Wei Ningkun looked at the four suitcases on the bed, and said to Wei Jingrong: "Second uncle, you and Ning Yi can sleep, I'm not sleepy at all, I'm looking at the money here." ”
Wei Ningyi hurriedly said: "Brother, you and the second uncle sleep, I'm not sleepy, let's take a look at the four boxes of money!" ”
Wei Ningkun and Wei Ningyi are both the sons-in-law of Wei Jingrong's eldest brother, but they are not sons-in-law.
Wei Jingrong waved his hand and said to his two nephews: "Sleep, if Su Yi wants to swallow the eight million dollars directly, can it be useful for the two of you to watch without sleeping?" ”
At this time, Wei Ningkun hesitated for a moment and asked: "Second uncle, our Wei family has almost put the treasure on Su Yi's body this time, is it a little too reckless, just these eight million British dollars, you can buy two dreadnought battleships!" ”
Wei Jingrong patted the suitcase beside him, "Ning Kun, is our Wei family short of money?" ”
Wei Ningkun shook his head and said, "There is no shortage of money, and it can even be said that it is rich and rivals the country." ”
Wei Jingrong immediately sighed and said: "Yes, our Wei family is not short of money, even if we let the Wei family pay for ten dreadnought battleships, or even ten super dreadnought battleships, our Wei family can also afford it, but which country will sell us the Wei family's dreadnought battleships or super dreadnought battleships?" ”
Wei Ningkun said with a wry smile: "Although our Wei family is rich, it is only a rich businessman, and there is not even a hereditary nobleman in the family at present. ”
Wei Jingrong continued: "Now the fleet under Su Yi not only has six super dreadnought battleships and four dreadnought battleships, as well as a number of former dreadnought battleships, but also in the Kangshan Port Shipyard, there are also four dreadnought battleships, four former dreadnought battleships and two ironclad battleships captured by the Jisk Imperial Navy, which means that the strength of the fleet under Su Yi's command has surpassed the navies of Cangyu, Liuyun, Tianxing, and Ziyue, and has become the most powerful naval fleet in the Eastern Continent. ”
Wei Ningyi frowned and said, "Second uncle, will Su Yi sell us the Wei family battleship?" ”
Wei Jingrong smiled and said: "There is no need for Su Yi to sell us the Wei family battleship, according to the family's new plan, our Wei family will occupy a certain port city in the future, as long as the fleet under Su Yi's command can help, even if the enemy army has thousands of troops, our Wei family can also hold this port city, and use this port city as a starting point to achieve the hegemony of our Wei family." ”
"Second uncle, will Su Yi agree to our Wei family's request?"
Wei Jingrong patted the suitcase beside him again, "Su Yi will definitely agree." ”
The next morning, in a study in the county guard of Kangshan City, Wei Jingrong and his two nephews saw Su Yi again, and Su Yi immediately agreed to the two conditions of the Wei family, and in the details, Su Yi and Wei Jingrong also reached an agreement.
The two sides agreed that the Wei family would send 400 people to serve in the Su family's army, including 200 in the army and 200 in the navy, and the bottom line in Su Yi's heart was 1,000 people, but he didn't expect that as soon as Wei Jingrong opened his mouth, there were only 400 people, so Su Yi agreed without hesitation, and promised that the 200 people who entered the army would be the deputy squad leader, and the 200 people who entered the navy would enter the battleship service.
The people that the Wei family is going to send to the Su family's army, in addition to the children of the Wei family, are the sons of the Wei family who have been loyal to the Wei family for generations, these people have absolute loyalty to the Wei family, and according to the current situation of the Wei family, such people can only barely make up four hundred, and the more than 200 people who came to Kangshan City with Wei Jingrong this time will be the first batch of personnel to enter the Su family's army, and the remaining more than 100 people will have to arrive in Kangshan City about a month later.
In addition, Su Yi also promised that after the Wei family occupied a port city, the independent fleet would help the Wei family resist the enemy from the sea, and provide strong fire support for the Wei family's army.
After Su Yi agreed to the Wei family's two conditions, Wei Jingrong immediately handed over eight million dollars to Su Yi.
Su Yi then took out 5 million British dollars of it to set up a welfare fund for demobilized soldiers, and the remaining 2 million British dollars were temporarily set aside for military expenses, and 1 million British dollars were allocated to Xu Haoming, the acting county warden of Kangshan County, which immediately made Kangshan County's finances richer.
After Xu Haoming took refuge in Su Yi's command, he almost took over all the government affairs in Su Yi's hands, and handled them in an orderly manner, and Su Yi was also willing to be the shopkeeper, so he directly appointed Xu Haoming as the acting county guard of the entire Kangshan County.
For the two hundred people from the Wei family who entered the army, Su Yi was not ready to let them enter the newly expanded infantry brigade, but let these two hundred people enter a unit composed of all cyborgs officers and soldiers, so that Su Yi would not need to worry about the Wei family's people doing things, and it was absolutely impossible for the cyborgs officers and soldiers to betray Su Yi.
As for the two hundred people from the Wei family who entered the navy, Su Yi was going to disperse them to several battleships of the captured Jisk Imperial Navy, and now the officers and men of the independent fleet were all cyborgs, and Su Yi didn't need to worry about what trouble the Wei family who had entered the navy.
Now the ten battleships of the Jisk Imperial Navy have been captured, and they are still being overhauled in the Kangshan Port Shipyard, so Su Yi threw the Wei family's personnel who were preparing to enter the navy into the Marine Corps first to receive recruit training.
Before Wei Jingrong left Kangshan City, he found his two nephews in a secluded place, and then said to them in a deep voice: "The two of you will enter the army and navy of the Su family army respectively, in addition to working hard to learn military skills, don't forget to make friends, don't worry about money." ”
Wei Ningkun nodded and said, "Second uncle, we know what to do, and we must try our best to have a good relationship with the generals of the Su family." ”
Wei Ningyi followed and said: "Second uncle, don't worry, make friends, my brother and I are very good." ”
Wei Jingrong then lowered his voice and said: "If it is possible, it is best to figure out the location of Su Yi's shipyard, but you must be careful in your actions, after all, you are in Su Yi's army, and you can't do things too publicly." ”
Wei Ningkun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Second Uncle, if there is a chance, will our Wei family replace Su Yi?" ”
Wei Jingrong was silent for a moment and said: "Don't think about this matter first, now you are in the Su family's army, you have no foundation at all, it's too early to talk about these things, you can't do anything in a hurry, our Wei family can still exist for more than a thousand years after the fall of the country, the most important thing is to be patient." ”
