Chapter Eighty-Three: Borrowing Money from a Devil
Of course, Li Han's remarks were not unscrupulous and untargeted, but after some careful consideration. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At present, the 145th Brigade has nearly 7,000 soldiers, and the 14th Regiment and the 15th Regiment alone need 4,000 rifles and more than 400 pistols, plus the teams directly under the brigade headquarters also need nearly 2,000 rifles, which requires 6,000 rifles.
He also planned to equip each regiment with a mortar company of ten 80 mortars and a machine gun company of twelve heavy machine guns. In this way, when facing the Japanese army again, it can have some advantages in light weapons.
Besides, the brigade headquarters always had to keep some spare, because there were battles almost every day in the past few years, and the weapons and ammunition were worn out very quickly, and he did not have his own arsenal, so he had to buy all the weapons and ammunition.
However, the arms dealer is not raised by Li Han, and the weapons are ready to arrive, and he may be in urgent need of replenishment here, and the weapons and ammunition are still on the other side of the sea. Besides, the arms trade is not simply a matter of buying guns and cannons.
Although he had already thought that Li Han would buy a much larger number of weapons this time than last time, Will was still dumbfounded.
Could it be that Li Han's soldiers were fighting with wooden sticks before, the number and scale of these weapons were so large that in addition to the lack of artillery, other weapons were enough to equip a division even in the German army.
If this business is completed, Will knows that his status in the company will immediately increase, and he may even become a high-level figure in Lihe Foreign Company.
"Li, Mr. Li, are you sure you need so many weapons?"
Will stuttered a little, although he knew that it was a bit inappropriate to ask such a question to the customer, but the stakes were high, and Will had to reconfirm it with Li Han.
"Why, is Mr. Will worried that I won't be able to pay?" Li Han said with a smile.
"No, no, I have completely believed Mr. Li's credibility, but I only have 4,000 rifles there, and there is no problem with the other weapons, and they can be delivered within a week."
Will hurriedly replied, the huge impact of interests has made Will lose the performance of a businessman, and until now he still has a feeling of being in a fog.
"That's fine, but I'm asking for half of the cost for the time being, and when all the weapons are ready, we'll settle the balance."
Li Han thought about it and felt that there was no problem, there were four thousand guns and rifles that were enough for the time being.
The two regiments were each armed with 2,000 Mauser rifles, and each regiment was equipped with a submachine gun company, and when the Bofors mountain guns were in place, Li Han also planned to equip the two regiments with six Type 92 infantry guns.
Each regiment has three infantry guns, so that without the help of aircraft, it should be no problem for each regiment to deal with a Japanese brigade alone.
After the remaining 3,000 rifles were in place, they were equipped with artillery battalions and reconnaissance battalions, and the brigade headquarters guard company had two guns each, one submachine gun and one rifle.
"Li, it's hard for me to explain to the company by doing this."
Hearing that Li Han was only willing to pay half of the fee, Will was also entangled in his heart, if this business was completed, fame and fortune would definitely be no problem, but Li Han asked to suppress half of the ocean, and the risk was a bit big.
Will was not worried that Li Han would not give money, but that during this period, Li Han was defeated by the Japanese army, and who would he ask for money at that time.
"Then there is no way, now you have two choices, either all the weapons will be shipped in a week, and I will pay the full amount; Either I'll have to cut half of the payment, or you can choose not to make this arms deal. ”
Li Han waved his hand indifferently, although he was also worried that the deal would not be successful. But isn't it like doing business like this, if you don't take a little shelf, it is easy for the other party to see through the bottom line.
Of course, it is still the fault of money, if you have millions of oceans, let alone this weapon, you will buy and buy the equipment of a mountain artillery regiment, and you will pay the account without blinking.
"Okay, Lee, but I'm asking for payment in Ocean."
After careful consideration, Will was unwilling to give up this big business, and it was foreseeable that as long as Li Han was still on an errand in the Chinese army, this cooperation would definitely not be the end.
As an arms dealer, not only must he be more courageous than the average businessman, but he also has to have some gambler nature, and it is obvious that Will has put the treasure on Li Han.
"No problem. Glad, Mr. Will, you made a wise choice. In return, I will pay an additional five thousand oceans as your personal remuneration for this transaction. ”
Five thousand oceans were sent out at once, and usury was not so fast. Although his heart was painful, Li Han still pretended to be indifferent, as if he had only sent out five oceans.
"Oh! Li, you are so polite, it is a pleasure to do business with you, I promise that I will try to apply to the upper echelons of the company and strive to give you a base amount of ammunition reserves for free. ”
In a word, five thousand oceans were credited to the account, and Will's eyes were about to narrow with laughter, and his annual salary was not five thousand oceans.
Facts have proved that money can be used to understand people, no matter which country it is aimed at, this sentence is a last word.
After the two negotiated the payment method, how to pay, this began to enter the bargaining link. At this time, Will finally knows what it means to eat other people's soft mouths and take other people's short hands.
After some bargaining, the two finally agreed that one Bofors mountain cannon was 30,000 oceans, one heavy machine gun, one heavy machine gun, one light machine gun, and one rifle.
In this way, the total amount of this arms transaction still reached 838,000 oceans, and even if half of it was paid in advance, it would cost nearly 420,000 oceans.
After the price was negotiated, Will went back to prepare, this time the volume of arms transactions is relatively large, with Will's current rights, he will definitely not be able to eat this batch of orders, he must report to the senior leaders of Lihe Foreign Bank.
But Li Han was embarrassed here, his original plan was to leave 100,000 oceans as an emergency fund. After all, now there are only a few hundred brothers in total, and 10,000 oceans is enough for them to spend months.
Now that he is in charge of the jobs of more than 7,000 brothers, if he has no money to spare, maybe one day the war breaks out, and he fails to receive the military salary from the government on time, and the soldiers below will not make a fuss.
They gave up their lives to fight devils again, but the commanders didn't even pay the military pay they used to support their families, what would they think?
You must know that during the Republic of China, many soldiers regarded being a soldier as a profession, relying on military salaries to support their families.
In addition to military salaries, it is not a matter of money to improve the food of the troops, the ammunition consumed in daily training, and the renewal of the military uniforms of the soldiers and soldiers, and it is good to be able to maintain the normal operation of the troops by relying on the little money issued by the military government, not to mention improving the combat effectiveness of the troops.
But this time when he bought weapons, Li Han patronized and bought more guns and cannons, and he didn't grasp the balance all of a sudden. Now let alone reserve 100,000 oceans, even if you use all of them, it will not be enough to pay the bill.
However, the weapons have been bought, and the seller has also prepared them, so it is not good to regret it at this time, and Li Han is also very greedy for this batch of weapons.
When the troops are replaced with this batch of weapons and equipment, they can immediately turn old hens into ducks. No matter which one he abandons, Li Han is unwilling and unwilling.
After thinking about it, Li Han sadly found that he could only borrow some money from a Japanese friend, but he promised to pay off the debt before the Qingming Festival next year.
After the goal was clear, Li Han began to think that the money of the gang of devils was better and easier to borrow, but he planned to repay the money during the Qingming Festival, and if he didn't send the devils down first, how would he repay the money during the Qingming Festival.
The devil closest to him is in Chengde, and of course the devil on this side of the Great Wall is closer. However, there are too many devils there, and Li Han doesn't want to go for the time being. If you ask them to borrow money, you should be the one who collects money on the Qingming Festival next year.
Besides, the devils there are all fighting, and if they can have a few dollars on them, who will go to war with all their family property, so Li Han decisively ruled out this choice.
In this way, the target is only the Japanese who are still in Chengde, anyway, the Japanese are now big and big, and they have robbed a lot in Rehe during this time, and they don't care about the more than ten or two hundred thousand oceans.
Of course, the Japanese are low-quality and barbaric, and when they see something they like, they don't care whether it has an owner or not, and they just grab it.
Can Li Han learn from them, he is also a college graduate, and there is nothing to say about his personal quality.
Since it is borrowing money, it has to be borrowed and repaid, and Li Han has always paid attention to 'the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates'. If the devil is willing to lend more than 100,000 yuan to himself, then there is no need to say, he must burn a little more during the Qingming Festival, and at least one million will be collected and returned to the devil.
I just don't know if Japan's Amaterasu is willing to accept it, after all, he and our Lord Yama are not in the same system, if you don't want to accept it, then you can't blame me, anyway, the money will definitely be hit by yourself.
On this day, three young people in their twenties came to Chengde City, and the three of them walked side by side, the one in the middle, the shortest, looks okay, and the eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and he looks like a young master, but his skin is a little dark.
The two next to him are about 1.8 meters tall, one is tall and mighty, with muscles on his body, and he looks like a practitioner.
The other one has been looking left and right since he entered the city, and he was originally considered to be dignified, but this thief's behavior ruined the first impression of passers-by on him.
Naturally, even if Li Han and his party were gone, Li Han wanted to enter Chengde to investigate the situation, and the commander of the guard company would of course accompany him. The other is Li Yong, who is now the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, and of course he is in charge of intelligence work.
With the smoke of the war gone, Chengde has gradually returned to its former calm, but from time to time there are groups of devil patrols and plaster flags planted in all corners of the city, indicating that the city has been occupied by the Japanese.
