Chapter 26: Whimsical (1)

Daniel: "Andre, he actually works for the Royal Spanish Arsenal—"

When Xiao Zhange heard this, his heart was half cold. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Spain is too foreign to him, and in World War II, Spain was a neutral country. A neutral country, if it does not fight, it will naturally not invest a lot of money in the research and development of weapons and equipment - etc., André said that the barge gun he used came from the Royal Spanish Arsenal, could it be -

In this matter, Xiao Zhange's negative attributes of the scumbag almost broke again. What he didn't know was that a large number of the shell guns imported from Europe to China came from Spain. During World War II, Spain was nominally neutral, but in fact favored Germany, otherwise Franco, the Spanish king, would not have organized the Blue Division (Note 1) to support Germany. As Spain and Germany got closer, their weaponry tended to be German, and it was for this reason that Spain's arsenals were keen to copy German weapons.

"Mengshan, bring Mr. Andre's revolver," Xiao Zhange shouted at Zhang Mengshan.

Zhang Mengshan responded, walked over quickly, and handed Xiao Zhange the revolver that had been captured from Andre. Xiao Zhange took a closer look at the shell gun in his left hand and a revolver gun in his right hand, then shook his head, looked at Andre and said, "Mr. Andre, to be honest, we don't lack short guns." But if you have artillery or some other type of weapon, or even a machine, I think we can make a big deal. ”

Andrey: "Mr. Karl, can you tell us who you really are?" You talk about big business, but as far as I know, there should be few people in North China who have the ability to do big business with us. ”

Xiao Zhange said that he wanted to do big business with Andre, but he didn't necessarily mean to fool him. And Andrei obviously knows the situation in North China very well, and in one sentence, he was beaten back to the prototype. Importing weapons from Europe, and given that Japan now has de facto control over the coastal ports in North China, freight alone will be a huge expense. According to this reasoning, if the amount is not more than one million, then the so-called big business can only be a joke. What is the concept of millions of silver dollars today? Take the 29th Army as an example, the 29th Army has 80 regiments and 100,000 people, and the monthly military expenditure is only about 500,000 yuan. In other words, the 10 officers and men of the 29th Army could only balance 1 million silver dollars in two months without eating, drinking, firing a single bullet, or giving a penny......

Xiao Zhange listened to Andre's words, and his face couldn't help but feel a little hot. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he was desperately thinking about where there were gold and silver mines in North China, and Daniel asked a question: "Mr. Carr, you mentioned penicillin before, and I remember that a friend of mine mentioned it in a letter last year, saying that it is very miraculous, and can effectively treat tuberculosis, and inflammation caused by wound infection - did you hear about it when you were in Germany?" ”

It took four or five hours for Xiao Zhange to mention penicillin, and Daniel reacted, Xiao Zhange didn't care to think about whether Daniel had a strange brain circuit, which caused him to react very slowly, so he hurriedly went down the stairs and replied: "Yes, yes-" He said "Yes, yes", and in his mind, the words "penicillin" and "soft gold" naturally jumped out, and he said: "Wait--Mr. Daniel, I thought, maybe we can cooperate to do a big business." ”

In just a few minutes, the word "big business" came out of Xiao Zhange's mouth for the second time, Daniel didn't feel anything special, Andre shrugged, and muttered: "Liar! ”

Xiao Zhange ignored him and asked Daniel: "Mr. Daniel, if my guess is correct, penicillin has not yet achieved industrial production, right?" Now, it should be in the lab small-scale production stage, am I right? ”

Xiao Zhange's understanding of penicillin comes from "Penicillin 1944". He didn't know exactly what year penicillin entered China, but he knew that during the Anti-Japanese War, penicillin was more valuable than gold for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.

Daniel: "I don't know - by the way, you said you could do a big business with me?" ”

"Yes. How about our partnership in the production of penicillin? ”

"Huh?" Daniel was stunned, Andrei laughed, and then said in Daniel's ear: "Don't believe him, this guy is a liar." ”

Xiao Zhange's ears were sharp, and when he heard Andre's words, he snorted coldly in his heart, called Jin Chunlin and Xin Guangjian, and when they came over, he said to them: "Take these two gentlemen, and we will hurry up and meet Adjutant Ma." ”

"What do you want to do? Carl, you can't-"

"Mr. Andre doubts my sincerity, and in order to convince you that what I said is true, I can only temporarily wronged you."

……

Six days later, Xiao Zhange and his entourage walked 450 kilometers in a circle, unloading the machine in Xishan in Beiping, leaving Xin Guangjian to take care of the machine with a few guards, and returned to the Nanyuan military camp that night.

At the gate of the Nanyuan barracks, Xiao Zhange and Ma Xiaotang jumped off their horses, and in the faint light, Huang Tangxian and a guard from Zhang Zizhong came up, and the latter whispered to Ma Xiaotang: "Adjutant Ma, Shizuo asked me to wait for you here, you are not returning, Shizuo is very worried." You go directly to the master's room and wait for him, and I will go and inform the master. After speaking, he walked into the barracks, jumped directly on his horse, shouted "Drive", and galloped towards the barracks.

Huang Tang's expression was slightly excited. He looked at Xiao Zhange's eyes, first grinned, and then secretly gave a thumbs up to his right hand. Xiao Zhange saw him give him a thumbs up, knowing that everything was going well with them, and couldn't help but smile on his face, and asked, "You have been waiting here all this time?" ”

"After I brought someone to escort the weapon, I stayed."

"Adjutant Huang!" Jin Chunlin came from behind, and when he saw Huang Tang, he was very excited, and when he came up, he gave Huang Tangan a bear hug.

"It's great that you're okay, you don't know, since we knew that the Japanese army in Luanxian County had killed dozens of people, we guessed that you did it, and we were very worried, and we were thinking about whether to kill Luanxian."

Jin Chunlin smiled: "It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise we would have gone wrong-"

"Let's talk about these things later," Xiao Zhange quickly interrupted them, then glanced in the direction of Daniel and the sentry, and whispered, "Be careful that the wall has ears." ”

Huang Tangfeng took Jin Chunlin back, Xiao Zhange followed Ma Xiaotang and the two Germans into the barracks, Ma Xiaotang asked people to arrange the two Germans to go down, and then took Xiao Zhenge to Zhang Zizhong's residence and waited for Zhang Zizhong to come back.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Zizhong and Li Yunxia walked in together. Xiao Zhange and Ma Xiaotang hurriedly got up and saluted, Zhang Zizhong and Li Yunxia did not return the salute, looked them up and down, noticed the wounds on their bodies, and then returned the salute and said, "Sit down." Injured? Is it serious? ”

Xiao Zhange has a total of three wounds on his body, none of which are serious, and Ma Xiaotang has two wounds on his body, one of which is on his right rib, which has been torn open, and it is estimated that it will take a little time to recover.

Note 1: The 250th "Blue" Infantry Division was formed in Spain at the end of June 1941, during the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Compared with other foreign volunteer divisions, this unit is a volunteer force in the true sense of the word, and all personnel volunteer to join, and there is no coercion.
