Chapter 20 Arms Deals
The big war is coming, Hu Fei came to the headquarters to wait for the order to lead the army, but there were only a few people in the conference hall of Lu Daonuo. Zhang Haitian sat on top, next to him were Zhang Hechun, Zhang Binglin and several other generals close to the Zhang family, there were only five or six people in total. Xiang Qingshan, Gai Zhonghua and other generals were all gone.
"Hu Fei is here." Seeing Hu Fei coming in, Zhang Haitian hurriedly raised his hand to greet him, "I was about to ask someone to call you, but I didn't expect you to come." Hehe, come, come and sit. ”
After beckoning Hu Fei to sit down, Zhang Haitian looked at several confidants and generals in the conference hall, and his face turned pale, "The arms of Fengtian Yangxing are almost here, and only Hu Fei knows those people." Since this deal was pulled by Hu Fei, then you can work harder, and the handover with the foreign bank will be handed over to you! Despite the ill-intentioned intentions of those Japanese, we volunteers could not afford to lose their credibility. Hu Fei, you bring the money to trade with them and pay for arms! ”
"Huh? Be! Hu Fei was stunned for a moment and hurriedly agreed. originally thought that he was going to send him into battle to fight, but he didn't expect Zhang Haitian to let him do business with the Japanese. However, what Commander Zhang said also makes sense, others don't know Shizuji Takahashi, and even if they go, they don't know what Lu Dao said. Except for Hu Fei, it really can't be done by another person!
"You can go to the finance office to get how much it costs, I've already said hello to them. Just now, the scouts reported that the military train team has passed the leek platform, so you should get the money to meet them now. ”
Hu Fei originally wanted to stay here to listen to how Lao Beifeng divided his troops and sent generals, but Commander Zhang, who knew that Commander Zhang of the Daoist family would let him go to meet Takahashi Shizuji now! Hu Fei was assigned a task without even knowing whether the troops were fighting or leaving, and he was in a hurry! He wanted to ask again, but Zhang Haitian waved his hand and motioned for him to go quickly. Hu Fei had no choice but to arch his hand and leave the chamber to go to the finance office.
The finance department is quite smooth here, Hu Fei said how much money, how much people give, no discount at all. The arms were all discussed by Hu Fei and Takahashi Shizuji, how much money did he know? It's a lot of money, but you don't necessarily get enough of it!
Although weapons were rampant in those years, there were craftsmen who traveled from village to town to make weapons privately. However, the only weapons that could be bought from gunsmiths were unicorns, firecrackers, shotguns, and other earth-made weapons. Well-made, high-quality weapons are hard to come by, and you can't buy them with money! The ones Hu Fei bought from Takahashi were all standard weapons being used by the Japanese Kwantung Army, and there was no place to buy them!
Lao Beifeng also saw the preciousness of this path, so Hu Fei brought the money. You gave the money this time, and you can buy it next time! Otherwise, it's time for both sides to fight, and what else will they pay? If you grab it, you can get it!
After packing the money in two big pockets and putting it on a horse, Hu Fei and Li San returned to his brigade headquarters first on a horse. Commander Zhang asked him to trade, he had to arrange things at home? After going back, tell Ning Xiaocui to take Wang Wenhua to pack up the gold and silver, pack everything you can bring, and be ready to evacuate at any time!
In the war, if you don't expect to win and lose first, who knows if the Lu Daoyi Warriors can stop the attack of a wing of devils? Fengtian, which is guarded by hundreds of thousands of Feng troops, can't be saved, and a small Shaling town is estimated to be enough!
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Ning Xiaocui was not too panicked, Niuzhuang had experienced such a big change, and this woman had become strong! Not to mention Wang Wenhua, she is still wearing a military uniform. After the two women agreed, they began to clean up the house, and Hu Fei was relieved.
Call the six-eared monkey over, and leave the family's affairs to him to take full responsibility. Not only Hu Fei's family, but also many family members in the Volunteer Army, as long as it is the family of the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Brigade, they are all taken care of by Liu'er.
After arranging for the family to solve their worries, Hu Fei ordered Sun Laoliu and Feng Quan to command the troops to stand by. He himself took Li San, Ji Jinbiao, Gou Tianxiao, and Xiong Wei, and ordered another hundred cavalry, and rushed to Leektai Town with two pockets of money for trading.
The town of Leek Tai is in the southeast of Shaling Town, and the two towns are not far apart. It can be said that the sand ridge is the leek table. Hu Fei brought all the cavalry, and the war horses for dozens of miles arrived after a happy ride.
There were still several miles away from the leek moss, and I saw a convoy coming from the direction of Leek Tai Town. When I got closer, I saw that this was a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles. The carriage was not moving fast, and the horses did not look like they were in a hurry. The coachman drove the carriage forward slowly.
Hu Fei led his cavalry to the front like a gust of wind and stopped the convoy. The coachman who was driving the car hurriedly took the horses, and looked at the group of men and horses with panicked faces, and they thought they had encountered robbers.
"Is Manager Takahashi here? Let Manager Takahashi come out! Hu Fei rode a horse and carried a ghost head knife, and shouted at the large convoy with a sword raised by the horse.
"Hu Jun, Hu Jun, I'm Takahashi!" Hu Fei shouted twice, and someone in the convoy answered. Takahashi Shizuji jumped out of one of the carriages and ran ahead, but when he saw Hu Fei, he didn't dare to go over.
The main thing is that Hu Fei's current appearance is too scary! Riding a tall horse with hundreds of fierce cavalry, not to mention, the ghost-headed knife in his hand is too vicious! The wide, long, and hideous ghost-headed knife reflects the sun's shining eyes, and just looking at it makes people shiver in their hearts. Gao Qiao looked at Hu Fei now, and he was a little timid in his heart.
"Manager Takahashi!" Hu Fei also saw Gao Qiao, and as soon as he lifted the reins, the war horse "stepped on" and stepped forward.
Gao Qiao took several steps back, "Hu Jun, can you put the knife away first?" We are friends, we are here to do business, how do you hold a knife? ”
"So Manager Takahashi was afraid of my knife? Hahaha, this is my family heirloom sword! Well, since you don't like it, I'll put it away. Hu Fei wrapped the knife in a cloth and carried it behind his back, jumped off the horse and walked over to stand with Gao Qiao Jingyi.
The handover of arms is actually the same as ordinary bulk commodities, but it is just a few steps: ordering, inspection, delivery, and payment. There are more than a dozen truckloads of arms brought by Takahashi Shizuji, and Hu Fei can't test them alone. Among the cavalry he brought, some of them were more proficient in weapons, so a few people came over and looked at the goods next to the carriage.
After confirming the doubt, he casually drew a rifle and a light machine gun for random inspection. How to inspect weapons? Test firing, of course. Load your rifle and machine gun, shoot a few rounds into the open and pay for it.
Of course, Gao Qiao's weapons are no problem, and Hu Fei doesn't need to calculate how much money his subordinates have, he knows how much it should be. Move the two pockets of money to one of the carriages, which can be regarded as Takahashi's return transportation.
