Chapter 11 Flour for Rifles
Last year's stale grain? Zhang Gongjin hesitated, in fact, he was thinking about whether to detain these people and force them to hand over all the grain in his hand. But the thought took a turn and finally gently put it aside.
You don't even see a bag of flour, and you want to detain people for food, what if these people only have a few hundred bags of flour on hand? Here, the Xingshi mobilized the crowd to detain the people, but the food was not asked to come, and there were rumors that the Third Army was doing business and eating black, and who would dare to sell grain to the Third Army in the future?
He frowned and pondered, and several people over there exchanged glances with each other, and the shrewd little man in the lead suddenly picked up a briefcase from under him. Pulling the zipper, he took out a long strip of white paper from his briefcase and handed it to Zhang Gongjin.
Zhang Gongjin took it with his hand, and it was very heavy. He was stunned in his heart, he had seen this weight. Gently open the wrapping paper halfway, revealing the yellow and golden treasure inside, the gold bar! This is a two-pound big yellow croaker! This is, are you going to buy weapons with gold bars? Section Chief Zhang quietly took his hand away from the gold bar, poured himself a glass of wine, and took a sip slowly.
"This is a slight expression, please don't misunderstand Section Chief Zhang. It's not a payment, it's just a little meaning. When our deal is over, there's another one as a thank you. Please put this one away from Section Chief Zhang, so as not to let outsiders see it and misunderstand. ”
The little man was very good at talking, Zhang Gongjin hesitated, his eyes quickly glanced around, and with one hand, he grabbed the gold bar on the table and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.
As Zhang Gongjin expected, these people planned to exchange two hundred bags of flour for one hundred Chinese rifles! At a time when food is scarce, this price is not unacceptable. However, the bandit leader named Ma Sheng also asked for an additional 10,000 rounds of ammunition.
This request is a bit excessive, but seeing that there are several batches of this kind of business after the other party's promise, especially the face of the heavy gold bar in his trouser pocket, Section Chief Zhang reluctantly accepted this matter.
With the joy of eating and the smooth negotiation of business and business, Section Chief Zhang gradually relaxed his vigilance, and under the other party's clever questioning, he unconsciously talked a little about the deployment of the Third Army. In his opinion, these boys are a bunch of unsuccessful bandits at best, can they still threaten the Third Army of the dignified National Army?
However, what Zhang Gongjin didn't expect was that the few so-called business partners who were at the same table with him and laughing Yan Yan were not the bandits they said, and the real identity of these people was the spies of the Taiyuan Special High School in Japan! That seemingly shrewd little man is the head of the special high class, Ichiro Aso of Japan!
Aso Ichiro heard that the Nakajo Mountain Army was short of food, but he didn't know what was missing, so this time he came to test the Third Army. As a result, after a try, sure enough, the chief of the procurement section of the Third Army was able to exchange a hundred rifles for two hundred bags of flour! Who, if not the extreme shortage of food, would exchange the new rifle for food?
Of course, the most important thing is that Tong Guò has a relationship with Section Chief Zhang this time, and Ichiro Aso has a lot of things to fall on this procurement section chief. If it weren't for the ability to reach the sky, would Section Chief Zhang be able to get a hundred rifles and 10,000 rounds of ammunition at will?
Inquire about the names of the thugs who robbed the foreign company and shelled the headquarters and their hiding places, and inquire about the deployment intelligence of the Zhongtiao Mountain National Army, the situation of the Third Army, and even the recent situation of Wei Lihuang, the commander of the First Theater of Operations.
In short, Section Chief Zhang Gongjin's role as Section Chief Aso Ichiro is very important. It's so important that you can't worry about buying it with a gold bar, and Section Chief Aso must always get in touch with Section Chief Zhang. For several days in a row, every day when it was dark, Aso Ichiro came to Zhang Gongjin on time and invited Section Chief Zhang to drink and eat.
Zhang Gongjin was also worried about the two hundred bags of flour, so as soon as this Ma Sheng came, he invited him to go. Every time he was on the wine table, Section Chief Zhang urged Ma Sheng to hurry up and transport two hundred bags of flour. At the same time, Zhang Gongjin also expressed his desire to need more food in addition to himself.
"Brother Ma, if you can get more flour, we have more good things here." That means that in addition to rifles, machine gun grenades can also be considered.
Aso Ichiro naturally agreed to Zhang Gongjin's meaning, "No problem, just rush to Section Chief Zhang's boldness, I have made up your friends." The flour business, we will continue to do it. I have a lot of friends in Henan and Shandong, who are engaged in flour trading. Not to mention hundreds of bags, even thousands, tens of thousands of bags are no problem! ”
Zhang Gongjin, who was obviously bragging, smiled at what he said, and the relationship between the two sides quickly warmed up. On the third day, Ichiro Aso's 200 bags of flour arrived. Not to mention, in order to win over Zhang Gongjin for a long time, the two hundred bags of flour that Aso Ichiro brought over this time were all high-quality wheat flour!
Zhang Gongjin randomly opened two bags to check, and the fine white color and the unique fragrance of fresh flour made Section Chief Zhang understand that this is a year's worth of old flour, which is obviously the best white flour newly harvested and ground today. It's only a shame to take this thing back!
When Commander Tang ate fragrant steamed buns and noodles, he asked where the flour came from, it was me Zhang Gongjin who bought it! The other side is self-earning. Section Chief Zhang's mind was full of fantasies about the envy of his colleagues and the happiness of his soldiers.
After the flour was inspected, and the rifles and bullets were inspected over there, the deal was settled. Before pulling the guns and ammunition away, Taro Aso invited Zhang Gongjin to dinner, saying that it was a send-off banquet. Zhang Gongjin took his two clerks to the banquet happily.
The two sides happily reviewed the past and imagined the future. When he was half drunk, Ichiro Aso wanted to talk about what happened in Taiyuan City a few days ago like a piece of lace news.
A group of armed men entered Taiyuan City at night, robbed four foreign companies in a row, and fired several shots at the headquarters of the First Army. This kind of thing is so rare!
"Section Chief Zhang, I heard that it was the guerrillas of the National Army who did the shocking case, do you know who did it? That's a good job! As he spoke, Ichiro Aso gave a thumbs up.
Zhang Gongjin also heard it with disbelief, which way is this so bold? However, since people ask him who did it, they think he has the ability, if he casually says that he doesn't know, won't he be underestimated? I can't say it, Section Chief Zhang has to organize the language to deal with this well-informed and curious bandit Ma Sheng.
"Well, ah, the guerrillas may be from Nakajo Mountain. We're not short of food now. As for some of the people in this guerrilla group, they went to Taiyuan to get food, and by the way, said hello to Yoshio Suzuka. Well, that's pretty much it. ”
