Chapter 468: Price

The list that James had obtained was compiled by Yu Feipeng in his room the previous night, and it clearly indicated the weapons and ammunition needed;

120,000 Mauser 1924 rifles, 4,000 Czech light machine guns, 1,000 Maxim heavy machine guns, 80 mortars, 60 mortars, 60 mortars, 200 75mm Bofors mountain guns, 2,000 Mauser military pistols, and 10 supporting ammunition!

"Oh, Kong, you think I'm running an arsenal! I'm a small workshop! No, I think that on the land of China, no one can come up with so many weapons and equipment except for the Japanese; I'm sorry, I can't help you!" James said,

"James, I know that American friends are philanthropic and fraternal; My country is suffering right now, please help! Yu Feipeng said,

"We Americans don't have so many twists and turns, and now you have lost the port of Guangzhou; Our last port of import of specialty steel from the United States was occupied by the Japanese, and now we don't have so much material to produce weapons; Moreover, the machine tools and production lines are seriously worn, and now the lives of our engineers and technicians are threatened, and I am preparing to return to China after emptying the inventory; The current Nanchang garrison commander, Mr. He Jianye, is an old friend of mine, we have known each other in the United States, and he has only received 3,000 rifles from me; Yesterday Mr. Ho Chien-ye rejected the offer to return to the United States with me, and he wanted to save the last drop of blood for his motherland, so I took it upon myself to sponsor him with my family's funds the equipment of a division, and the firepower was configured according to the American infantry division; So there's really not much stock left! James shook his head and said,

"What? Ho Jianye? He got the equipment of a division? Minister Yu, you have to let He Jianye let a little out! He's so well equipped for a local garrison! Why don't you beat the Japanese for us! The logistics officer of the third theater said to Yu Feipeng,

"Are you going? And what can he give to you? Yu Feipeng said angrily, then turned to James and said,

"My friend, we've got all the stock you have; Please give us a list of what you need to prepare! Yu Feipeng said,

"What you need on this list, 55,000 Mauser 1924 rifles, 2,000 Czech light machine guns, 500 Maxim heavy machine guns, 200 80 mortars, 400 60 mortars, 96 75mm Bofors mountain guns, 2,000 Mauser military pistols, and ten base ammunition matches! In addition, I have a little other goods, I don't know if you are interested! James said according to Yu Feipeng, and the adjutant in charge of recording next to him was already smiling, the equipment of the five German armament reassemblers! There will be a lot fewer brothers dying on the battlefield!

"My friend, if you have anything else, please feel free to say; We all wanted it. "Yu Feipeng has expectations on his face!

"20 German 88mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 50 M2 anti-aircraft machine guns! I don't know what price you charge! James said,

"How about the last price?" Yu Feipeng asked,

"Haha, Yu, I'm so sincere; Why are you still like this? I know the price that your government buys in other places, and you are bullying me as an honest man? James said, the last price was a friendship price, at that time you can also get the United States special steel from the sea, now it is not possible, relying on the Geling Steelmaking Plant to produce special steel, the cost of the factory's production equipment has at least doubled, not to mention James, even He Jianye can not sell it to you at a loss!

"Floating up two percent?" Yu Feipeng asked tentatively, James's face was getting worse and worse, and he already felt that he had been fooled;

"I don't think you're sincere at all, so let's send someone who can call the shots to talk! I think you're not the only one interested in this piece of equipment! James didn't bother to grind with the gang, so he walked straight out the door, where the car was already waiting......

"Wait, Mr. James! Give us three days, and someone with enough power will come and talk to you; How about we continue here in three days? Director Kong from the Executive Yuan chased him out and said pleadingly,

"OK, give you one last chance! See you in three days! James got into the car and drove away......

James is gone, and this American makes Yu Feipeng and the others in the hall look at each other!

"Minister Yu, don't blame the Americans for your price! That's too low, isn't it? "The logistics officers of several theaters of operations looked at the price list and rolled their eyes; At this price, you still want to buy arms, and people don't even have to give you ammunition.

"It is estimated that more than three times will be enough, the current market is like that, and now the only Soviets who can sell us weapons are more than five times the price!" An adjutant asked,

"Minister Yu, how much floating right do you have? There were no problems with the quality of the weapons provided by the Americans, and the soldiers at the front were very happy; If you can, take it down as soon as possible! The logistics officer from the 6th Theater said,

"I only have the right to float 20%, I'll go and ask for instructions!" Yu Feipeng had no choice, before they came, they had always thought that James was a philanthropic person, so they had this price, but they didn't expect James to buy it at all this time;

"These Americans want to run away, so they want to eat all at once! The point is that they only accept cash transactions, which is difficult! Chiang Kai-shek had already received Yu Feipeng's telegram, and kept sighing,

"Chairman, since James is good friends with that He Jianye, he also sponsored the equipment of a division to him; Can we let He Jianye talk? Qian Dajun, the director of the chamberlain, suggested,

"Hmph, Americans, still businessmen; Maybe he had a good personal relationship with He Jianye, but he had already sent him a division's equipment; This is the idea of making our government pay the bills! Even if He Jianye is sent, it is estimated that the effect will not be good; But we are bound to get the equipment of these five divisions, so let's let Jing go! He is also He Jianye's father-in-law, I give him enough rights; Try your best to keep the price down! Chiang Kai-shek finally remembered He Yingqin at this time, and decided to let He Yingqin go to Nanchang to get the equipment of these five divisions;

He Yingqin, who received the order, served as the chief of staff of the Military Commission and the minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs; Of course, he knew what the equipment of these five divisions meant to the officers and men on the front line, so he boarded the plane overnight and headed for Changsha......

As for James, after dinner, he had already quarreled with He Jianye; If nothing else, just for the price of this batch of weapons!

"Boss, businessman! We are merchants! This price is a loss, and we can't even get back the cost of producing these weapons; And there are no cheap special steel from the United States, and now Guangzhou is in the hands of the Japanese; At this price, you know in the world, the Soviets, the British, the French, the Germans, the Swedes, and all other possible countries, they will not be able to sell weapons in large quantities; If it were for your price, we Americans would be laughed at, laughed at like fools! James exclaimed excitedly,
