Two hundred and four bargaining

I asked, "Can I know what's in your warehouse?" โ
Angelia pulled out a piece of printer paper and handed it to me: "It's all on it." โ
It's a list. As soon as I saw it, my eyes couldn't help but widen, except for a few ordinary rifles and pistols, the list was full of machine guns and sniper rifles, as many as 100 pieces, as well as RPGs, high-speed grenade launchers and anti-tank missiles, individual anti-aircraft missiles, and even strategic rifles of experimental models in Poland, Japan, Saudi Arabia and other countries, I don't know how the Japanese got them.
I silently read it and said, "Well, it's okay." Then I took a pencil out of my pocket and wrote a score after the quantity of ammunition for each weapon and handed it back to Angelia.
Angelia quickly glanced at the proportions I had written, and her eyes widened suddenly: "James, how can you do this?" It's too dark, right? โ
I waved my hand to signal her composure, and then said, "Listen to me first." I decided this way for several reasons. First, you said that you only have 10 men under your command now, can you guarantee that you will soon be able to recruit a large number of people who are proficient in military affairs? Who do you use this technical equipment for? โ
โโฆโฆโ
Of course, I wouldn't say that I would leave this equipment to the Japanese. Without waiting for Angelia to refute me, I continued: "Second, you think about the problem too simply, if you want to gather a large number of Japanese to occupy a place by yourself, you will need a huge amount of supplies at the beginning. And then the generator you need or not? Municipal facilities have been paralyzed, there are still many corpses, do you need disinfectant water? And a lot more. And these things are all bought by my people with their lives, so I have to exchange a suitable price, otherwise I can't convince anyone else. โ
"And ......"
As I pondered what other reason there was, Angelia pulled a pen out of her pocket and scratched it on the paper for a while, then stood up and pushed the list in front of me again: "In this proportion." โ
Now we need to get this batch of weapons as well. Otherwise, with Angelia's current ability, he won't be able to get much back, and after a long time, he doesn't know who the remaining weapons will fall into. So I'm going to have the upper hand. Coupled with my natural distrust of the Japanese, I can't let the Japanese be too powerful to do anything I can't control, so I'm not going to budge. So I deliberately didn't look at that list and instead stared at Angelia in the eye and said, "I'm short on time and don't want to waste time haggling." โ
Angelia's eyes were filled with rage, and she involuntarily propped up the table, her back slightly arched, like a big cat ready to attack, so that my gaze could penetrate her neckline. It was very tempting, and I quickly focused my gaze on her eyes.
After just a few seconds of staring at each other, Angelia's gaze began to move. Then her body relaxed a little and said, "Okay, you can divide it according to the proportion you said, but my request must be met." One is that I'm going to start recruiting people this afternoon, and you're going to have to provide the vehicles and the necessary personnel. โ
I could say yes, so I immediately nodded in agreement.
"Second, before I have chosen a suitable area, draw a special area here to house the people I have recruited. The provision of my personnel must be paid according to the standards of your people. โ
I immediately said, "Then your men must be involved in the work and defense of the barley fields." โ
Angelia nodded and said, "Okay." Workers can be mixed with your people. But the combatants must be individually formed. โ
I agree with that. Even if the Japanese form a team alone, I don't believe they dare to stay out of it if something happens.
Angelia continued: "After I have chosen a suitable area to be stationed, I hope that you will provide the necessary supplies and send workers to help build the defenses. โ
I nodded yes. Unexpectedly, as soon as the girl stretched out her hand to her maid, the maid immediately opened a folder and took out a few pieces of white paper and put them on the table. Angelia buried herself in the paper, writing quickly for a while, and then pushed four sheets of paper in front of me. I almost laughed when I saw what was written on the paper, and I quickly held back.
It turned out that Angelia had written a contract with all the terms we had just discussed. But is it useful to conclude a contract in this case? Did it work? Who will guarantee the execution of the contract? Isn't it just who has the big fist and who has the final say? Entering into such a contract is nothing more than signing a name on waste paper. If I had a deal with a Chinese, or a gang that was now stronger than me, I would have to think about whether or not I would abide by it. But what does Angelia have now? Just ten of her men? I don't know why Angelia is confident that I will abide by the terms on this piece of waste paper. I really don't understand the thoughts of the Japanese.
But I still smiled on the surface, made a solemn look, read the two contracts, and signed. Angelia also signed both contracts and gave me one for herself to keep. I said to her, "Can you tell me where your secret warehouse is now?" I'm worried that if I'm late, those things will end up in someone else's hands. โ
Angelia stretched out her hand to her maid again, and the maid handed her a piece of paper. She handed me the paper and said, "It's all over here." โ
This piece of paper not only has the address of the warehouse, but also how to open the warehouse. I said to Angelia, "Good. If you want to move as quickly as possible, meet at the gas station in an hour, not leaving one minute earlier and one minute late. โ
Angelia left the cafeteria without saying a word. I also ate the rest of the food in a few bites, then walked out of the cafeteria and hurried to the command center. There I called out to Wild Boar and Big Eye over the walkie-talkie, and asked them if they had just unloaded their cargo at the base. I briefly explained the agreement with Angelia and told them to go to the secret warehouse and get the weapons out.
Matthew sneezed and swallowed a glass of Chinese medicine with tears in his eyes, saying, "It's good to get a lot of weapons, but do you really want to allow the Japanese into this community?" The Japanese don't have a good reputation. โ
I assured him, "The Japanese are obedient when they cannot have an advantage, and this is a merit that no other ethnic group can match." They will contribute to this community. I now need to call in four trucks from the remaining vehicles in the transport company. โ
Matthew picked up a phone and dialed a number and said, "The transport company sent four trucks to the command center. โ
I hurriedly said, "Let them drive the car to the warehouse first, I need to call for some food and water." โ
Matthew put down the receiver after delivering the order, and when he saw me staring at the phone, he explained: "Yesterday a few engineers brought some equipment from the neighborhood, and this morning the community can make calls." I forgot to tell you. It's really convenient. โ
This is the embodiment of the power of many. It seems that I really don't have to worry too much about internal things, as long as I find enough food for everyone to keep this place safe, and everyone will figure out ways to make their lives better.
