Chapter 39: Changing Shotguns (2)
Xiao Zhange only saw that the weapons of the 29th Army in Nanyuan were all in tatters, coupled with a lack of understanding of this history, so he thought that the 29th Army was poor and white, and it was a beggar army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoActually, he really underestimated the economic strength of the 29th Army. Without food and clothing, it was the 29th Army just after the end of the Central Plains War. Now, at least the 29th Army, which Pingjin has in hand, is actually not short of money. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Song Zheyuan to expand the 29th Army from 20,000 to 100,000 in just a few years. Take the formation of a military training regiment as an example, a cadet's salary for a month is two oceans (although the cadet only gets one piece), plus the salary required to hire a cultural instructor is expensive, and an additional nearly 30,000 silver dollars are paid every month, which is not a small amount.
Xiao Zhange stood in the position of the 29th Army, so he naturally wanted to do his best to help Song Zheyuan bargain. He was exhausted in his saliva, and finally pushed down the unit price of some weapons by a full third, and then, when Song Zheyuan reported the amount to be purchased, his eyes blinked wildly, and he was directly stunned.
"Tap fire (barge guns), a thousand are good, a million bullets; I think this submachine gun is good, 10,000 pieces, 30 million bullets; Artillery, you can help me find out, whether it is new or old, and if it is new, come with 30 guns (Note 1)...... Brother Xiange, you can help me calculate how much it is. ā
"A total of 3,320,000 ......"
"It's acceptable. Junior brother, you ask the Spaniards if you can give me a little more - hey, what's wrong with you? ā
What happened to Xiao Zhange? Xiao Zhange was stupid.
He used penicillin's future shares as collateral, and he didn't want to be cheeky, so he owed one million on credit from Fan Xudong, and Xiao Zhenxi reported a figure of more than three million, Song Zheyuan didn't frown, but said "It's acceptable". , Song Zheyuan, no, when did the 29th Army become so rich?
Daniel was obviously willing to facilitate this deal, after all, Dias was "abducted" to China by him, and when he saw Xiao Zhange's appearance, he stretched out his hand and stabbed him, shouting: "Carl! ā
Xiao Zhange came back to his senses, licked his lips first, and then translated Song Zheyuan's words to Dias.
After listening to this, Dias silently calculated for a while, then looked up and said, "Mr. Karl, please tell Chairman Song that if he can advance half of the payment, I will give you an additional twenty anti-tank guns and some matching ammunition." If he can pay the rest of the money in a lump sum when the goods arrive, I will give away forty more anti-tank guns. ā
Dias is a businessman, and he gave an additional anti-tank gun, on the one hand, to meet Song Zheyuan's request, and on the other hand, to advertise the anti-tank gun that has been produced. It is conceivable that if the anti-tank gun is really useful in actual combat, then Song Zheyuan will definitely purchase it aggressively. Xiao Zhange translated truthfully, Song Zheyuan listened, discussed a few sentences with Xiao Zhenying in a low voice, and nodded in agreement.
The business is initially reached, and the next step is to find a guarantor and sign a contract. Xiao Zhange is obviously not qualified to participate in these things.
Xiao Zhange, who was a little in a trance, took Daniel and the others to say goodbye and left, after he stepped out of the threshold with one foot, Song Zheyuan called out to him, waited for him to return, looked at him and said meaningfully: "Little junior brother, now I regret selling those guns to Zhang Xinchen, right?" ā
Xiao Zhange was startled, sweat immediately appeared on his back, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Junzao, what are you talking about-"
Song Zheyuan's face was blank and he shouted: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me!" If it weren't for your original intentions being good, and being the only disciple of Uncle Si, I would have tied you up and handed you over to the RB people a long time ago. You know? The RB people are already suspicious of you, you - be careful. ā
Xiao Zhange's forehead also began to sweat, and after thinking about it, he immediately figured it out. Song Zheyuan is in Pingjin, and he is the same character as Tongtian. What he did in Zhigu may be able to hide Song Zheyuan for the time being, but after a long time, with Song Zheyuan's energy, it will definitely not be difficult to discover the truth. Song Zheyuan is now trying to survive in the gap between Lao Jiang and the RB people, and he certainly doesn't want any accidents. And the arms bombing case of the garrison was a big incident that almost caused a riot by the devils, and the devils and Song Zheyuan had enough reasons to investigate it strictly, so what he did at the beginning is simply a cover-up now.
Xiao Zhange figured these things out, and his perception of Song Zheyuan was different. He saluted Song Zheyuan and said, "Thank you, senior brother!" ā
Song Zheyuan showed a smile on his face, and pointed his finger at him and said, "If you dare to say thank you Junzuo just now, don't think about coming to me again in the future." Go, if this is done, I will do you a great credit. By the way, you are still young, and you still can't understand many things, so it's good to train your soldiers with peace of mind, and the above things are less harmonious! ā
Xiao Zhange left the Song Mansion in a cold sweat. After he left, Xiao Zhenying asked: "Is it really this kid who did the explosion of the RB people's arsenal?" What a boldness! ā
"It's more than that. Hiroshi Sato, you know, the head of the RB secret service in Zhigu, and the deputy director of the Zhigu Police Department, Liu Sanhei, who was very close to the RB people, all died at his hands. Heh, I just found out about this not long ago. At that time, I was really shocked. ā
"What's the matter with him selling weapons to Zhang Xinchen?"
"Why do you think he blew up the RB people's arsenal? That's because he stole a lot of weapons from the RB people, and he was afraid of being exposed, so he simply blew up the arsenal. You know the Hashimoto group, the chief of staff of the cantonment garrison was directly killed! The reason why Tada Jun was demoted to the chief of staff of the Qu Zhitun garrison, and why Kenji Dohihara was transferred to the head of the Beiping secret service was dragged down by this incident. ā
"Hashimoto is dead?"
"The RB people should be afraid of losing face, so they deliberately concealed the news. However, in the final analysis, Pingjin is still the Pingjin of our Chinese, and what happened in Zhigu, how can it be hidden from me? ā
Xiao Zhenying blinked his eyes twice and said with emotion: "So, this kid is simply a troublemaker?!" The descendants of the military training regiment are more radical, people like him are placed in the military training regiment, and they are so close to Zhang Xinchen-"
"My uncle has a life-saving grace for me, he treasures this kid like a precious son, for the sake of his old man's face, let's see-"
Because Dias was waiting for the signing, Daniel suggested staying directly at the Six Nations Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane for a night. Everyone was waiting outside, and after Xiao Zhange came out, Si Yuangong and Wu Zheng saw him looking sullen, and Si Yuangong asked, "Boy, what's wrong?" Song Zheyuan gave you little shoes to wear?! ā
Xiao Zhange was thinking about things.
After listening to Song Zheyuan's words, he thought about it seriously and figured out at least three things. First, Song Zheyuan's control over Pingjin was far stronger than he thought; Second, there should be a certain contradiction between Song Zheyuan and Zhang Zizhong, and it seems to be irreconcilable; Third, the relationship between the 29th Army and the Japanese army does not seem to be as simple as friend or foe (Note 2).
"Ah, Master, no, Commander Song just reminded me, saying that the little devil already knew that I did the explosion of the arsenal, and let me be careful of the little devil's revenge."
"It's a bit of a big brother."
Note 1: Before the 77 Incident, the 29th Army's weapons were actually quite sophisticated. Among them, it is well documented that more than 30,000 people from the Rehe Tang Yulin Department were recruited, and the weapons obtained were all guns made in the Northeast; Abducted RB weapons, such as the 143rd Division, which once let the RB people transport weapons to the puppet Mongolian army through their defensive areas, from which 2,000 brand-new Han Linchun-style rifles and 8 field guns were seized, and also sent troops to participate in Wang Ying's puppet Han rebels, taking advantage of the chaos to abduct more than 1,000 guns; asked Lao Jiang for 2,000 rifles, 8 infantry cannons, and 4 million bullets made in Hanyang (Xiao Zhenying's credit); The equipment of the Dagu shipyard was used to manufacture a large number of light and heavy machine guns, mortars and grenadiers, and it was also making its own bullets in Zhigu; 10,000 Czech rifles, 12 anti-aircraft guns, and 400 pistols were purchased from abroad...... By the time of the July 7 Incident, the 29th Army had light machine guns, grenadiers, heavy machine guns, and mortars, as well as artillery, antiaircraft artillery, and cavalry, and had become a force that could not be lightly humiliated.
Note 2: Before and after the 77 Incident, the relationship between the 29th Army and the Japanese army in North China was extremely complicated, on the one hand, the 29th Army was very resolute in resisting Japan from top to bottom, but at the same time, the top leaders of the 29th Army headed by Song Zheyuan were reluctant to Pingjin, a treasure land, so they still had illusions about the peaceful settlement of the 77 Incident, which led to the occurrence of some phenomena that later generations could not understand. For example, on the night of the 77 Incident, a brigade of the Japanese army stationed in Dongjiaomin Lane happened to be exercising outside the city of Beiping, because it did not bring enough ammunition, so it let the army in the city operate supplies, and after the five supply vehicles were intercepted in the city by the garrison of the 29th Army, the Japanese army brazenly launched an attack on the 29th Army, and after the attack was frustrated, the Japanese army asked diplomats to come forward and put forward a request for a ceasefire and return to Dongjiaomin Lane, and Song Zheyuan and Zhang Zizhong had very different attitudes on this matter, and in the end, Song Zheyuan still agreed to the Japanese army's request.
