Wang Dahu did not immediately agree to Wang Mo's plan to participate in the foundation of the elder brother's association, after all, this is a matter of his family's life, and if he doesn't get it right, not only his life will not be guaranteed, but his wife and children will also have their lives in danger.

Wang Mo didn't care much about this, he just asked Wang Dahu to go home and think about it. He believed that Wang Dahu would make the right choice, even if Wang Dahu retreated, he would definitely secretly suppress Wang Dahu and those coolies on the dock to force Wang Dahu to accept the arrangement.

It can be said that since the moment Wang Mo wanted Wang Dahu to implement the plan, Wang Dahu had no choice. Of course, unless it is absolutely necessary, Wang Mo will not choose to use his power to force Wang Dahu, after all, doing so will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the implementation of the plan.

After sending Wang Dahu away, Wang Mo went to the hospital again. There is a large smoke that acts as a temporary numb, drunken, and the treatment of the seriously injured is quite good, and most of them have successfully operated on and passed the dangerous period. As for the sequelae of the wounded's heavy smoking, they can only be dealt with separately after the injuries have healed.

After finishing the affairs of the hospital, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and Wang Mo dragged his tired body home.

Wang Mo thought that it was so late, and the family should have already rested, but he didn't expect that his father was still waiting for him.

Wang Haoshan instructed his subordinates to get some supper, and said to Wang Mo with some reproach: "Mo'er, you just led the troops to raid the Hefuxiang Tobacco House, and this thing was really reckless. ”

"Father, you can rest assured, that old guy Qian Sande doesn't dare to turn his face. Even if he really turns his face, it's not a big deal, and spending a little more time and energy can always settle it! Wang Mo said disapprerovingly, if he hadn't taken into account the social turmoil, he would have led troops to eradicate the Elders' Association.

Wang Haoshan is an old-school officer, and he has a deep understanding of the huge power of the Elders' Association, and in the past, the patrol battalion where he was in used to be filled with a large number of robed brothers. If it weren't for the fact that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army recruited mostly the children of peasant families in the countryside of Fushun, and if it weren't for the rapid rise of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army and the fact that the Elder Association did not have time to penetrate, I am afraid that the current Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army may not be able to get rid of the influence of the Elder Association.

"Mo'er, the elder brothers are not as simple as you think, their power is far greater than you think. Brother Pao is all over Sichuan, just in this Luzhou City, there are at least tens of thousands of Brother Pao, plus the relatives and friends of these Brother Pao, how can there be hundreds of thousands. If the elder brother will make trouble, this Luzhou City will be in a big mess. Wang Haoshan said earnestly.

Wang Mo sneered with some disdain: "What's the use of having too many people, the Elder Brotherhood is just a plate of loose sand, as long as the means are appropriate, it will be easy to dismantle the Elder Brotherhood of this scattered sand alliance." Father, just watch, it won't take two or three years for the Elders' Association to completely disintegrate. ”

Although his son has never disappointed him since the army, Wang Haoshan still couldn't believe the arrogance of disintegrating the huge elder association in two or three years, shook his head and said: "Mo'er, I don't care what you think in your heart, at least on the surface, you can't be too hostile to the elder association. I am going to issue an order in a few days that you will be appointed as the head of the Chongqing Zhenfu Prefecture, and the power of the Elder Brotherhood Renzitang and Yizitang in Chongqing is even greater than that of Lizitang. ”

"Let me go to Chongqing to take up the post of governor of Chongqing Zhenfu?" Wang Mo felt a little sudden, the job of taking over the military and political power of one side was not so easy to do. Although he had been mentally prepared for this, he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Wang Haoshan nodded heavily: "In this case, only you are the most suitable to serve as the head of Chongqing Zhenfu Mansion." Aren't you good at military training, I'll give you the establishment of an independent division, and train another division of elite soldiers in Chongqing. ”

Another division of elite soldiers?

Wang Mo smiled helplessly, spread his hands and said, "What about the money, where does the military spending come from?" As far as I know, the little money in the treasury of Chongqing Zhenfu has long been moved back by you and spent on the expenses of post-war pensions. ”

Speaking of money, Wang Haoshan was also a little embarrassed, the casualty pension of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army cost a lot of money, and the expenses for various aftermath matters after the war were not small. As for the military expenses for the formation of the Chongqing Independent Division, there is simply no one or two pieces of silver.

"That's why I told you not to make enemies with the Elders' Association, the remaining teams in Chongqing are basically the people of the Elders' Association Renzitang and Yizitang. As long as they have their support, this independent division can still be pulled. Wang Haoshan blamed Wang Mo again for his actions of making friends with the elder brothers tonight.

In Wang Haoshan's original plan, as long as Wang Mo obtained the support of the Chongqing Elders' Association Renzitang and Yizitang, borrowed their men, money, and guns, and integrated various teams in Chongqing, it would not be a problem at all to pull up the Chongqing Independent Division.

In fact, in Sichuan, relying on the team of Pao Ge is definitely the only way to quickly pull up a huge army. At the beginning of the Revolution, many revolutionaries did just that. As soon as the team of Brother Pao greeted, a large area of Wuyang came, with people, guns, money, food and materials. Including the 6th Division of the Sichuan Army of Xiong Kewu now, a large part of it is Brother Pao.

Wang Mo knew the harm of the Pao Ge organization to the army, so he refused without thinking about it: "No, if it is an independent division formed in this way, don't do it." Father, there must be no such organization as the Elders' Association in the army, otherwise will the army listen to their leader, or will it listen to us? ”

"Then I can't help it, I can't make money anyway. The establishment of independent divisions is for you, and you have to figure out how to solve the military expenses yourself. Wang Haoshan simply played a scoundrel, but he didn't have the consciousness of being a father at all.

Hearing this, Wang Mo was full of black lines, and he wanted to complain on the spot. However, he also knew that it was useless to complain no matter how much he complained, and Yinzi Chuannan would definitely not be able to take it out, so he had to find another way.

Until he went back to his room to sleep after supper, Wang Mo thought about breaking his head, except for taking the special operations battalion to rob the road, he couldn't think of any way to get the money. No way, who called him a soldier and not a businessman, and learned how to kill people, not how to make money?

Two days later, Wang Haoshan officially issued an order appointing Wang Mo as the commander of the Chongqing Zhenfu Prefecture and the commander of the Chongqing Independent Division, and at the same time gave Wang Mo a hopeful opportunity to solve the military expenses of the Independent Division.

"Mo'er, Yin Changheng knows that we have a channel for arms purchases, and hopes to buy some artillery from us. They made it clear that the high price was acceptable, and they were willing to pay me a layer of the transaction amount as a middleman fee, do you think this business can be done? Wang Haoshan was a little undecided, after all, Chengdu was now the most important opponent of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army to unify Sichuan in the future, and it was obviously unwise to increase the enemy's strength. I'm afraid that Chengdu just mentioned it casually, and I don't expect the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army to really agree.

Wang Mo was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Sell, why don't you sell!" The Stoke trench mortar has one 5,000 oceans, the 50mm field gun is 15,000 oceans, the 75mm field gun is 50,000 oceans, and the 77mm field guns are 55,000 oceans, and the shells are counted separately. As long as they can afford to pay, we sell as much as they want. ”

I have to say that Wang Mo is ten times blacker than blacks. Except for the mortar, which is a bit outrageous because it is beyond the times, the rest of the guns of all calibers are basically comparable to the highest price on the black market. What's more, Wang Mo's purchase of artillery from the industrial machine is only the cost price, which is generally less than half of the normal market price.

For example, if Wang Mo sold 100,000 oceans of artillery, then the profit he earned would be at least 60,000 or 70,000 oceans. Coupled with the intermediary fee of 10,000 oceans, this is 70,000 or 80,000 oceans, what a huge profit.

Wang Haoshan didn't know the huge profits, and in his opinion, the intermediary fee was not comparable to the threat from Chengdu. Therefore, he didn't agree with this, shook his head and said: "I don't think it's even better, our Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was originally at a disadvantage in terms of troops, and it only relied on a strong firepower advantage to make up for the disadvantage in troops." If we sell artillery to Chengdu and compare it with our firepower, then I am afraid that we will be in big trouble in the future, and we will be defeated. ”

Wang Mo laughed confidently: "Chengdu will buy dozens of field guns if they die, and the shells are also a lot of consumption, how much can they store?" Once the war starts, as long as the shells are fired, they have no place to go. Besides, even if we sell them 77mm caliber field guns, we can get 105mm howitzers, 120mm cannons, and 150mm heavy guns! If you want to fight with us for a firepower advantage, it will definitely be a choice that will make them miserable! ”

Want to use the artillery purchased from Wang Mo to fight the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army? This is definitely a fool's dream, because for every time the other party buys an artillery gun from Wang Mo, Wang Mo will get the cost of buying the same two cannons. The more the other party buys, the stronger the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army will only become. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to expose the powerful arms procurement channels of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army too early and attract the attention of the Beiyang Group, I am afraid that Wang Mo would have opened the door to arms sales and started a profiteering industry that made him covetous.

In fact, Wang Mo still has a reason not to say, that is, Yin Changheng will soon no longer be the main opponent of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army to unify Sichuan. If he remembers correctly, the British should have been planning a rebellion in Tibet at this time, and Yin Changheng would soon march westward, and the military and political power in Chengdu would probably fall into the hands of others.

"I still don't think it's appropriate, even if we have a place to buy those howitzers, cannons and heavy artillery you mentioned, we don't have the money, presumably these guns are not cheap." Wang Haoshan still felt that it was not a wise move to sell artillery to Chengdu.

On the surface, Wang Haoshan is not wrong, after all, the intermediary fee income of just one percent of the transaction amount will not be much, and it is really nothing compared to the threat from Chengdu.

Helpless, Wang Mo had no choice but to say: "Father, in fact, the arms I bought from foreign arms dealers are discounted to a certain extent at the market price, and there is also a generous sales commission. Let's put it this way, if Chengdu buys 100,000 oceans of arms, we can get at least 30,000 or 40,000 oceans. ”

"What? Mer, what you said is true? Wang Haoshan didn't expect that just as a middleman for arms procurement, he could have such a huge income.

Wang Mo nodded solemnly and said: "That's right, as long as the amount of artillery purchased by Chengdu exceeds one million oceans, then the military expenses for the formation of the Chongqing Independent Division will be guaranteed." ”

"In that case...... Well, it's good to use the money to pull up the independent division. Wang Haoshan thought about it again and again, and finally agreed.

This is not difficult to choose, as long as the Chongqing Independent Division can be pulled up, with Wang Mo's means, it will not be a problem to double the overall strength of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.
