Chapter 792: There Is No Free Lunch in the World
Lincoln and Grant wanted to cry without tears, now their control over the Sixth Army is almost equal to zero, as long as Chen Hai does not transfer the control of the Sixth Army to the Federal Army, then Grant, the chairman of the Federal Government's Military Joint Conference, will not be able to control the Sixth Army for a day!
"General Chen, let's have a meeting, don't be so decisive......"
Grant said with a bitter face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Humph!"
Chen Hai sneered: "Of course you don't have to be so decisive, I understand your difficulties, and I understand your temporary change in signing the covenant, but you also have to show corresponding sincerity, right?" ”
Lincoln hurriedly replied, "Of course, of course!" General Chen, let's not talk about the personal friendship between you and me, just talk about justice, without you and General Guo, we would not be able to complete the reunification so quickly, and we will never forget this affection. We will fully support your war of resistance when your country fights with Britain, France and Spain, lack of weapons, we provide weapons, lack of ammunition, we provide ammunition, lack of warships, and even we can provide warships to you! It's just, it's just, you want to take the Sixth Legion, which is really something we can't afford, and you also know that the combat power of one Sixth Legion is enough to top the other two legions of the Federation Army......"
Chen Hai nodded and replied: "Of course, I will not transfer the entire Sixth Army Corps, all of it, I just hope that I can draw a part of it, my plan will definitely not cause your country to suffer huge losses, let alone make your country be criticized by European countries......
"I want to hear about it!"
Chen Hai said in a deep voice: "First of all, I need your Ministry of War to issue an order for some soldiers of the Sixth Army Corps to retire from active service, now the Sixth Army has the strongest strength, with nearly 60,000 people, and the Sixth Army will arrange for 20,000 of them to retire from active service, this is just a normal military change, no one can say anything." ”
Lincoln glanced at Grant, and Grande nodded, indicating that there was no problem, just a part of the soldiers of the Sixth Army retired from active service, which was completely an internal affair of the United States, and no one could interfere.
Lincoln replied, "Okay, General Chen, there is no problem with this order, and I can promise you on behalf of the federal government!" ”
Chen Hai continued: "After 20,000 veterans retire from active service, I will issue a military employment proposal in the United States, recruit mercenaries in the United States, each soldier will get a corresponding high salary, and go to China with me to participate in the war, I think, no soldier of the Sixth Army will refuse my employment with our commander, 20,000 retired soldiers, I will take all the orders, among them, except for the training we brought, all of them are citizens of your country, and they will come back after the end of the war." ”
Mercenary?
There is no problem with this, in Europe and the United States, mercenaries are very popular, and some private owners or groups engaged in smuggling, drug trafficking and other gray businesses will recruit mercenaries in society, but the scale is not so large.
Lincoln replied, "General Chen, there's nothing wrong with that. ”
Chen Hai continued: "20,000 veterans, including some officers, even if I borrowed them from your country, they voluntarily joined the Chinese mercenary corps in their private name, and at the same time, I will also issue a proposal in the eastern region, among the Chinese citizens, call on Chinese workers to follow my country to fight and defend the country!" I want to recruit 10,000 Chinese workers to join the Chinese mercenary corps in the next half a month and follow me back to China! ”
Lincoln and Grant's hearts were shocked, 20,000 veterans, plus 10,000 Chinese laborers! This is completely a downsized Sixth Legion! 20,000 backbones lead 10,000 recruits, and now there are no less than hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers in the United States, and it is easy to find 10,000 Chinese workers who are physically strong, not to mention, almost all Chinese workers are now under the control of Xue Fucheng's headhunting company, so it is not a matter of course?
Lincoln smiled bitterly and said, "General Chen, you have already made up your mind, I'm afraid that your country's fleet will also return at this time, right?" ”
Chen Hai smiled and replied: "That's natural, the ships of the three Western countries are strong and artillery, and they are definitely not something that China's current coastal defense battery group can resist." Now it's time for our Chinese Shandong Naval Division to make an appearance. ”
Since the completion of the Shandong Water Division, it has been staying in the United States, and now the countries of the world have long forgotten about this water division that exists in the agreement, which is completely the killer weapon left by Guo Ye!
"Mr. Lincoln, General Grant, and above all, I ask your country to provide us with thirty thousand rifles, which must be the Liaoyuan No. 1 rifle of the agreed specifications, five thousand boxes of corresponding ammunition, one hundred and fifty new 12-pounder Napoleonic guns, and thirty thousand shells! And in addition to this, there was a regiment of cavalry equipment! ”
Hiss! Hiss!
Lincoln and Grant kept inhaling the cool air, damn, the lion opened his mouth, the lion opened his mouth! As soon as Chen Hai opened his mouth, he asked for a weapon worth no less than three million dollars! Moreover, these weapons are only at the factory price, not the price on the arms market, if they are put into the international arms market, the value of these arms is not less than four million dollars!
"General Chen, you have such a big appetite......"
Grant replied with a smile in his eyes.
Chen Hai said with a smile: "Of course, we can't take these weapons in vain, after all, your country's finances are still very tight, in this way, we plan to withdraw shares from the Colt Arms Company, within a year, we will withdraw all the Chinese technicians and Chinese apprentices in the Colt Company, and at the same time select 20 American technicians to return to China, this 40% equity of the Colt Company, I will transfer it to your country free of charge on behalf of General Guo Ye......"
Lincoln and Grant's eyes widened! Forty percent of the shares of the Colt Arms Company! Although Colt's investment is certainly not four million dollars, Colt's forty percent equity is a huge income, even if it is a million dollars a year, four years later, it will be in vain!
"General Chen Hai, just say, what kind of help do you need from us? But if we do what we can, we will never shirk! ”
Grant exclaimed excitedly, it's so exciting, it's so exciting, if the government can directly control the Colt Arms Company, it will definitely be great news for the federal government!
"It's very simple, the strength of our fleet is still too weak, I want to temporarily borrow three main ironclad ships from your country to return to China to participate in the war, and, according to my requirements, provide sufficient ammunition and combat personnel for the fleet......"
Forehead......
Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch!
