After listening to Hu Fei's words, Hosokawa hesitated. After a fierce debate, in the end, he agreed to Hu Fei's request. 500,000 silver dollars to buy "parts" capable of assembling ten Type 92 infantry guns, along with 5,000 shells!

The two parties signed a detailed sales contract, and Hu Fei paid a deposit of 20,000 yuan. Of course, he would definitely not have so many silver dollars on him, and Hu Fei paid in paper fiat currency. It was only after the Nationalist Government abolished unrestricted foreign exchange trading in 1940 that the fiat currency began to depreciate. It's 1939, and the value of fiat currency is still quite strong.

After the contract was signed, it was equivalent to confirming the sales relationship between the two parties, and the head of Hosokawa was happy in his heart, and invited Hu Fei and his party to a nearby famous restaurant to go to Missy. Of course, Hu Fei is also happy, his artillery battalion is just around the corner, and a small celebration should naturally be.

At the banquet, the guests and hosts talked happily. At the time of the staggering, Section Chief Hosokawa raised his glass to Hu Fei with a red face: "Hu Sang, we have a great cooperation. Yours, friends big. In the future, there will be work on collaborative projects. Cheers! ”

And a collaborative project? Hu Fei's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, and after clinking glasses with Hosokawa with a smile, his brain turned away, what else can he buy from the devil in the future? Is it a heavy machine gun? Or armored vehicles, tanks? Or is it a war horse? Oriental war horses are a good thing, not to mention the tall legs, that thing is not afraid when it hears the sound of guns. If you use Oriental horses to form a cavalry unit, it's fascinating to think about.

However, whether it is a Toyo horse, a machine gun, or a tank, it will not be cheap, and it can be seen from the purchase of a cannon only this time. Hu Fei weighed the money in his hand, I am afraid that it may not be enough to buy so many things. Where do you get the money? Hu Fei stared at the devil Hosokawa and pondered.

Hosokawa didn't know that his business partner was making a bad idea, and he thought that Hu Fei was curious about future cooperation projects. "Hu San, the future cooperation project has not yet been decided, and I can't sue you for the time being. Here, cheers. ”

Hu Fei's amount of wine is good, and it is more than enough to deal with both Hosokawa and Yang Song. Hosokawa is a typical Japanese, he loves to drink, but the amount of alcohol is not very good, and the guy is confused when he burns a knife for half a catty. After saying a few words in a mess, he smirked for a while, and lay on the table by himself.

Yang Song looked like he was drunk at first, but after Hosokawa got drunk, he came to his senses, and he drank a cup of Hu Fei and Yuan Fang. This kid was hiding his clumsy just now.

A few people drank four bottles of liquor, and the meal was almost eaten before checking out and leaving. Section Chief Hosokawa drank too much alcohol and couldn't walk. Although this restaurant is not far from the foreign company, Yang Song's small body really can't stand the short and strong Hosokawa. There was no way, Manager Yang had to turn to his partner for help.

Hu Fei took a look, come on, since the two sides are cooperating happily, let's help. Of course, by the way, exploring the way in the foreign company is also one of the reasons.

Yuan Fang set up Hosokawa, and Hu Fei and a few people accompanied him out of the restaurant and returned to the foreign bank. The people in the foreign bank seemed to have gotten used to Hosokawa coming back drunk, and the group of them went inside, and the people they met on the way just casually said hello to Manager Yang, and they didn't even have the effort to take a look at Hosokawa.

Yang Song led the way, and Yuan Fang put Hosokawa into the bedroom. Thrown on the bed and covered with a quilt, Hu Fei and the others planned to leave. Yang Song felt that he couldn't go, and warmly stayed with the guests to drink tea.

Closing the door in the reception room of the foreign bank and slowly sipping the fragrant tea, Hu Fei inquired about the origin of this batch of goods. Of course, it is understandable that he is worried that there is something wrong here, and that he is afraid that something will go wrong in the transaction process. After all, this is not ordinary cotton grain and oil, this is munitions, artillery and shells!

In order to dispel the customer's concerns, Manager Yang Song, as the supplier, naturally explained in detail the cause and effect of the coming and going.

These cannons and shells are really being used by the active forces of the Japanese army. In the Battle of Nanchang, the main force of the Japanese army was the 101st and 106th Divisions that were disabled by Xue Yue in the Battle of Wuhan.

What everyone knows is that the 106th Division of the Japanese Army was almost wiped out in Wanjialing, and what is not clear is that the 101st Division was also semi-crippled.

The two main wings of the 101st Division, the 101st and 103rd Wings, from the brigade to the squadron and the squad, were all annihilated, and the joint commanders of the two wings were also killed in battle. Its cavalry, artillery, engineers, and baggage wings were ambushed by our army many times.

Although Okamura later replenished a large number of reserves for these two divisions, and used these two divisions as the main force to launch the Battle of Nanchang and won the victory, the heavy losses suffered by the past still cast an indelible shadow on these two divisions.

The Battle of Nanchang was the two divisions holding back their strength to be ashamed, and when the battle was over, that momentum would be discharged. After all, these two ad hoc divisions are not as famous as the Sixth and Ninth Divisions, and they do not have many people and strong combat effectiveness. Not long after the battle ended, they were no longer valued by Commander Okamura Ninji.

Just like now, it is clear that the 101st Division is the main force in the Battle of Nanchang, and the battle was won, but they were sent to the countryside of De'an. Far away from Nanchang and Wuhan, it was difficult for even the commander of his division, Lieutenant General Masaki Ito, to see Commander Okamura once.

In particular, news has recently come from within Japan that it seems that some people in the base camp are preparing to abolish the establishment of the 101st and 106th divisions, and intend to restore all the remaining officers and men on active duty in these two divisions!

The victorious troops were not only not taken seriously, but were also in danger of being dismantled, and this news was a bit of a big blow to the officers of the 101st Division. From Lieutenant General Masaki Ito to every officer and soldier who knew the news, everyone was panicking every day, and everyone was thinking about finding a way back for themselves, and no one was thinking about the future of the division anymore.

Under such circumstances, some people in the division and regiment who were thoughtful had thought of those heavy weapons. Rather than waiting for other units to be cheaper after disbandment, it is better to find a way to exchange it for cash and prepare a little more living expenses for the officers and men of the division and regiment after retirement.

The officers of the division and regiment did not know how to sell these big guys, and they did not know who to sell to, and to whom there would be no risk. It just so happened that there was a Mitsubishi foreign company in De'an City, and the 101st Division was in contact with the foreign company. Foreign banks are professional in trading, and people understand this, even if they let the foreign banks make a difference, wouldn't the officers and soldiers be able to get benefits?

As for who was actually operating this matter, some people say that it was the head of Ito Masakishi's division, some people guess that it was the commander of the two brigades, and some people think that the wing commander below did it himself. Anyway, it would never be wrong that these artillery pieces and shells were coming out of the 101st Division, and Mitsubishi was just earning some labor fees.
