Zhang Guochang said his request in one breath, then stopped to take a sip of tea, waiting for Gauss and James to answer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gauss and James were taken aback by Zhang Guochang's generosity, "Zhang! As far as I know, there are about 10,000 standard teachers in your country, right? ”

"Yes!" Zhang Guochang nodded.

"The batch of ordnance you want is enough to equip twenty-four divisions!"

"It's normal! The standard for a division I formed was 12,800 people! The extra ones are used as backups! Your country's army also has spare weapons, right? ”

"Yes! But you've got too many spare weapons! James questioned.

"What's the problem? Or are you afraid that I won't be able to pay it back? Zhang Guochang frowned.

It won't be long before World War II will start, and once the Japanese army attacks Pearl Harbor, the United States will definitely demand that it come to its own head, and at what time.

Hey! The loan or something will be waived first.

Gauss and James don't know the direction of history, only that there is a serious overcapacity in China, many manufacturers go bankrupt, and workers lose their jobs.

In order to absorb the excess capacity, the government has tried all means, but the effect is not ideal.

Now, finally, there is a war between China and Japan with a relatively high intensity!

War is the best opportunity to digest excess capacity, not only the United States, but also European businessmen are waiting to look for business opportunities on the battlefield between China and Japan.

With such a large order, how could Gauss and James give up, "No! No! Zhang, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that! ”

"Yes, yes! We still believe in Zhang's credibility! I just didn't expect the order to be so big! It's bigger than we thought! We are excited! ”

"Thank you both for your trust! If there is no problem, we can sign the contract right away! Then you arrange for the ordnance to be shipped! You must know that the situation in our country is very grim now! I want this batch of ordnance very urgently! Zhang Guochang did not continue to care, but began to urge to sign the contract as soon as possible and deliver the goods.

It is not close to China from the United States, and it will take nearly two months on the road.

"Good! Sign now! "Gauss and James didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

You must know that in the past, when the Chinese government purchased ordnance for government, it always gave preference to Germany, and rarely chose American ordnance.

"That's good! You go and prepare, and when you're ready, we'll sign the contract right away! Zhang Guochang laughed happily.

With such a huge amount of arms, it basically fell into their own pockets, although they need to sign a loan contract, but so what?

Didn't that person say that contracts are meant to be torn up!

Today's Chinese army, not only the Eighth Route Army lacks munitions, but the Central Army is not rich, that is, the equipment of Lao Chiang's descendants is better, and others, especially the Sichuan army, even two people can't share a rifle.

Many people fought with Japanese devils with big knives and even hoes!

Otherwise, the Sichuan army would not have died so much, more than the other provinces combined.

Of course, this refers to the military, not the common people.

Zhang Guochang is now fooling, fooling as many arms as possible.

Although after the start of World War II, the Entente countries will provide some weapons and equipment to the Chinese army in order to win over China, but it will not be until next year, what now?

The reason why Lao Chiang left the procurement of ordnance of the group army to Zhang Guochang was also requested by Zhang Guochang himself, and he assured Lao Chiang that he would not spend a penny on the state.

In this way, Lao Jiang handed over the power to purchase arms to Zhang Guochang, and of course Lao Jiang really had no money.

A group army's arms and equipment can be a lot of money, and you must know that Zhang Guochang wants a lot of money.

Browning pistol costs $30 each

M1918 Browning automatic rifle, Garand M1 semi-automatic rifle 50 dollars

Light machine gun 300 dollars

Heavy machine gun 1000 dollars

Battle defense gun (37mm) 4000 dollars

Light howitzer 10000 dollars

Heavy howitzer 40000 dollars

Mortar 400 dollars

$50 for 1,000 rounds of bullets

$3 for anti-aircraft gun/mortar shells

Light grenade 30 dollars

$50 for a heavy grenade

From the above price list, we can see how much the batch of arms purchased by Zhang Guochang is worth.

With the addition of ammunition, the amount of this arms contract is about half a billion dollars.

The key is that Zhang Guochang purchased a large amount of ammunition, one base is 200 rounds, 200 base is 40,000 rounds, one grab gun with 40,000 rounds of ammunition, and 240,000 automatic semi-automatic rifles is 2.2 billion rounds of ammunition, which is more than 100 million US dollars.

Gauss and James happily went to the room arranged by Zhang Guochang to contact China and prepare the contract.

It didn't take long for Angola. Merkel came back with a smile on her face, "Zhang! My friend! I have been authorized to do so domestically! We can meet your request, and the interest is still the same as last time! ”

"Great! Thank you so much, my dear Merkel, I know you must have said a lot of good things in the middle! Your friendship I will never forget! ”

"Zhang! Isn't it right to share your worries with your friends? Our great Führer has specially instructed that you will always be a friend of Germany, regardless of your future relations with China! ”

"So can we talk about orders now?" Angola. Merkel saw that Gauss and James were not there, and secretly rejoiced in her heart, thinking that this was an opportunity.

After he signed the contract with Zhang Guochang, it was too late for Gauss to want to talk.

"Of course!" Zhang Guochang nodded.

"I don't know what kind of arms you need? Is it equipped according to German standards or is it up to you? ”

"Let's equip it according to German standards! Plus I need 240,000 shell pistols! Ammunition is rationed according to five hundred bases! ”

"Ahh

"I need the equipment of thirty German standard divisions!"

"Isn't that too much? As far as I know, you have only twelve divisions in one army group! ”

"Merkel, my friend! You have not been in China for a short time, you should know that the current China has the right to speak only when it has an army! ”

"Since the chairman of our country has authorized me to form troops, of course I must prepare some arms and equip more troops! You must know that when I first made a brigade, I forced out a division of soldiers! ”

"Now that the situation in my country is so grim, I think it's better to find more soldiers!"

"Questions?"

"Nope! I'm just a little surprised! I didn't expect such a large number! Angola Merkel steadied herself and spoke.

Zhang Guochang's current mind is, don't care what weapon you have, only if you dare to give it, I will dare to ask for it!

Han Xin's more soldiers the better, as for the loan interest or something, I will talk about it later.

I can't use it myself, and I still need brother troops, but the Sichuan brothers are in dire need of weapons.

The Eighth Route Army's demand for weapons was also hungry.
