The various departments of the Beiyang Army began to assemble on a large scale, and such a big movement could not be concealed from people at all, especially the spy officers of the special service department who were always staring at the Beiyang Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Almost at the same time as the various units of the Beiyang Army were moving, the special service personnel lurking in various places sent this information back to the south through radio waves.

"What! The Beiyang Army began to assemble on a large scale? The special service personnel in charge of receiving and sorting out the information in the Secret Service Department couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the special emergency information gathered from all over the north at almost the same time, and immediately picked up the phone next to him without hesitation, "I must personally report the first-class special emergency information to the director or the young marshal, where are the director and the young marshal?" Okay, I got it! ”

Syllable!

Withholding the phone, the secret service personnel grabbed the telegram that recorded the intelligence of the large-scale build-up of the Beiyang Army, and rushed out of the office in a puff of smoke.

To the west of Nanjing, the Southern Coalition Arms Reserve Warehouse.

The huge munitions warehouse was full of all kinds of guns and ammunition, long guns, short guns, grenades, and artillery, and boxes and boxes of bullets and shells were piled up. Everyone who saw this arms warehouse for the first time had to sigh at the strength of the Wang family, the Sichuan army was able to rise strongly in such a short period of time, and sufficient and powerful armaments were undoubtedly the most important reasons.

"Uncle, this is one of the largest arms storage warehouses of our Southern Coalition Army at present, just pick what kind of arms you want." Wang Mo walked into the arms warehouse and introduced his uncle beside him.

"This ...... This ......" Liu Jingcheng was stunned by the dazzling array of arms in the warehouse on the spot, I am afraid that the arsenals of Western powers are nothing more than that.

Wang Mo smiled slightly, and didn't care about Liu Jingcheng's shocked gaffe, he intended to show his strength, and it was best to relay it to the Nanyang Chinese through Liu Jingcheng, which might be of unexpected help to him in the future.

"Let's pick a rifle first, because of the need for logistics and supply, all units of our Southern Coalition Army have realized the standardization of rifles, and at present, we mainly use the two rifles made in Hanyang and imported Mauser 1898." Wang Mo said, casually opened a box next to him, grabbed a brand-new rifle, pulled the bolt with a "click", checked the preservation of the rifle a little, and then handed it to Liu Jingcheng, and continued to introduce, "This is the Hanyang-made rifle produced by the Hanyang Arsenal in Hubei, the imitation of the German 1888 committee rifle, although it is not as good as the imported foreign gun, but the performance in all aspects is also stable and practical, and it has passed the test of the domestic battlefield." The most important thing is that it is cost-effective, and the current price of Hanyang-made rifles is less than half of the price of imported foreign guns. ”

Wang Mo tried his best to recommend a high-quality and inexpensive Hanyang-made rifle, but Liu Jingcheng rejected it without much thought, shook his head and said: "Money is not a problem, as long as the best gun." Xiao Mo, you don't have to think about money, the Nanyang Chinese United Chamber of Commerce is definitely much richer than you think, and now they are willing to spend money in this area. ”

The Nanyang Chinese are now like children holding gold ingots in the downtown area, whether their lives can be saved is a problem, as long as they are not fools and idiots, they really will not be stingy with the money to buy arms.

Wang Mo originally wanted to sell some Hanyang manufacturing, so as to train the military team of the Hanyang Arsenal and give a little help to China's industrialization process. However, since the Nanyang Chinese want to give money as the wronged leader, he is naturally happy to see it.

Wang Mo walked to the other side, opened a box again, took out a brand-new rifle, "clicked", also checked the situation of the rifle, handed it to Liu Jingcheng, and then said: "This is an imported Mauser 1898 rifle, the current elite active rifle of our Sichuan army, using pointed bullets, long range, strong penetration, and great lethality, even in the world, it is a first-class military rifle." ”

"Good gun, really good gun!" Liu Jingcheng praised with satisfaction, pulling the bolt from time to time.

"Because it is an imported foreign gun, the price is more expensive, and each Mauser 1898 rifle costs 70 oceans." Wang Mo said.

Hearing this price, Liu Jingcheng couldn't help but be stunned, just when Wang Mo thought he was too expensive, he shook his head and said, "Xiao Mo, this is a normal market price, right?" At present, where is the arms trade at the normal market price, especially in the case of the Nanyang Chinese United Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Uncle, what do you mean......" Wang Mo looked at Liu Jingcheng with some puzzlement, is it too expensive to be so fair?

"70 oceans is too cheap, well, I think it's 100 oceans." Liu Jingcheng said unexpectedly, and very unjustly increased the price of each rifle by 30 yuan.

This is not a small amount, the rifles purchased this time are at least tens of thousands, and the price of each rifle is increased by 30 yuan, which is hundreds of thousands of oceans.

How could there be a buyer who took the initiative to hemorrhage like this, Wang Mo suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, after all, he was his uncle, and it was not good to pit him so ruthlessly, so he said: "Uncle, is this price too ......?"

didn't wait for Wang Mo to finish speaking, but Liu Jingcheng waved his hand and said undoubtedly: "It's so decided, I have said it again and again before, money is not a problem, and there is no need to save it!" Speaking of this, he smiled slightly, "And I also said that this money was made up by the princes of the Chamber of Commerce, and your uncle and I can't spend a few more dollars." ”

In this case, Wang Mo is not embarrassed if he does not eat the fat delivered to the door, and with the current situation of the Nanyang Chinese, the price of buying arms is not too much compared with the black market price.

After picking out the rifle, Wang Mo then introduced several light and heavy machine guns one after another, and Liu Jingcheng was also very arrogant, waved his hand, and placed a large number of orders one after another.

After a while, when everyone walked to the area where the artillery was stored, Liu Jingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and without waiting for Wang Mo to introduce him, he took the initiative to walk over.

"What kind of artillery are these, Xiao Mo, sell us a batch of artillery too. As long as there is artillery, what Nanyang natives, what Westerners, who else dares to touch us? Liu Jingcheng gently stroked the metal Guan Ze's cannon body, as if he was caressing his lover's delicate skin, and did not hide his love and thirst for artillery.

SEEING THE GUN THAT LIU JINGCHENG WAS TOUCHING, WANG MO ROLLED HIS EYES HELPLESSLY, BECAUSE IT WAS A 120MM CALIBER HEAVY ARTILLERY.

I really dare to pick, the Nanyang Chinese Self-Defense Force has not yet been formed, and there is not a single artillery, so it is actually eyeing heavy artillery.

ALTHOUGH HE DIDN'T WANT TO SHATTER LIU JINGCHENG'S BEAUTIFUL FANTASY OF HEAVY ARTILLERY, WANG MO STILL SAID TACTFULLY: "UNCLE, THIS IS A 120MM CALIBER HEAVY ARTILLERY, A HEAVY WEAPON AT THE STRATEGIC LEVEL. Even if the Westerners are a little negligent, and the transportation channels of your Chamber of Commerce are very secretive, I am afraid that it will be difficult for such a heavy weapon to be transported into the South Seas quietly. ”

THE FOREIGNERS WHO CAN COLONIZE ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE NOT IDIOTS WHO EAT DRY FOOD, AND THE TARGET OF THE 120MM CALIBER HEAVY ARTILLERY IS TOO LARGE, AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO SMUGGLE THEM INTO THE NANYANG WITHOUT THE MONITORING OF FOREIGNERS. Unless Wang Mo goes to Nanyang in person and then buys it with an industrial machine tool, but now that the war is imminent, he obviously has no way to leave the country.

LIU JINGCHENG UNDERSTOOD THE KEY AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE, AND RELUCTANTLY LOOKED AT THE 120MM CALIBER HEAVY ARTILLERY THAT EXUDED A STRONG DETERRENT POWER ALL THE TIME, AND ONLY AFTER A WHILE DID HE "DIFFICULT" TURN HIS HEAD TO LOOK AT A SMALLER CALIBER ARTILLERY NEXT TO HIM, AND ASKED WANG MO: "XIAO MO, THEN THIS KIND OF SMALLER ARTILLERY IS ALWAYS FINE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT IS, I HAVE TO BRING BACK DOZENS OF THEM!" ”

LIU JINGCHENG CHOSE THE 75MM GRUSSEN MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY THIS TIME, THE MAIN FIELD GUN INSTALLED BY THE ELITE OF THE SICHUAN ARMY, THE PRICE IS NOT EXPENSIVE, THE POWER IS NOT SMALL, AND THE COST PERFORMANCE IS VERY HIGH.

The opening is dozens of guns, at least tens of millions of oceans, Wang Mo really wanted to agree, but considering the situation in Nanyang, he still shook his head and gave his own suggestion: "Uncle, even if you can successfully smuggle these artillery pieces into Nanyang, the Nanyang Chinese Self-Defense Force is not suitable for field artillery in the early days of its formation, because the field artillery is too cumbersome and inconvenient, which is easy to drag down and cause the nascent Self-Defense Force to be exposed, thus attracting the encirclement and suppression of the foreign authorities." ”

"That doesn't work, this doesn't work, if the Self-Defense Forces don't have artillery, I'm afraid their combat power will be greatly reduced, can they still do anything?" Liu Jingcheng frowned and said, it was not that he didn't believe Wang Mo's words, but he just wanted artillery too much and was worried about the combat effectiveness of the Self-Defense Forces.

"Artillery...... Of course, there are also those for you. Wang Mo's tone changed, and he pointed to an artillery not far away and said, "In the early days of the formation of the Nanyang Chinese Self-Defense Force, I suggest that you install this kind of artillery. ”

Liu Jingcheng followed Wang Mo's expectation, but his expression was a little stunned, and he asked suspiciously, "Is this......?" Can such a small artillery do anything? Xiao Mo, although this is bought for the Chamber of Commerce, the princes of the Chamber of Commerce are not so easy to fool. It's okay with the money, but the things have to be easy to use. ”

Hearing this, he suspected that Wang Mo was shoddy and made such artillery to fool the Nanyang Chinese United Chamber of Commerce.

Wang Mo smiled and explained: "This is a Stoke trench mortar, which can be disassembled and assembled by individual soldiers, with curved ballistics, and is most suitable for jungle operations with complex terrain. Uncle, don't underestimate this kind of mortar, I can give you a packing ticket, the Self-Defense Forces are definitely better equipped with this kind of mortar than a large-caliber field artillery. ”

"In that case..... Well, it's better to have this kind of small cannon than nothing. Liu Jingcheng didn't doubt Wang Mo's words, but after all, he hadn't seen the power of mortars with his own eyes, so he was always a little suspicious.

After selecting the artillery, Liu Jingcheng was still in high spirits, and still walked around the arsenal for more than half an hour, listening to Wang Mo introduce him to arms such as grenades and mines that opened his eyes.

"Report!"

A special service officer of the Secret Service Department trotted into the fire warehouse in a hurry.

Seeing that it was the secret service officer of the Secret Service Division, the blue wolf, who had been following Wang Mo, immediately walked towards the door of the warehouse.

The secret service officer, who was stopped by the guards at the gate of the munitions depot, immediately handed the telegram of the emergency information to the blue wolf and at the same time made a detailed report on it.

Hearing the news of the large-scale assembly of the Beiyang Army, Rao was the city government that the blue wolf had tempered in the secret service department over the years, and he couldn't help but change color, and he didn't dare to delay in the slightest, so he hurriedly walked to Wang Mo with the telegram, handed the telegram over, and said in a low voice: "Young marshal, first-class urgent information!" ”

Wang Mo took the telegram and looked at it, unlike the blue wolf and the special service personnel of the secret service department, he was not too surprised by this, but just smiled coldly and said: "Most of the foreigners have put pressure on our President Yuan, this battle will be fought sooner or later, since he has gathered troops, we can also move!" ”

Just as Wang Mo was about to say something, another special service officer trotted to the door of the munitions warehouse and reported loudly: "Report! (To be continued.) )
