Chapter 180: Generosity
After Chen Jinghui returned to the seal, he began to assist Chief of Staff Xu in planning the infrastructure construction of the control area. In particular, Chen Jinghui attaches great importance to road construction.
Because now the territory under their control is beginning to grow, and the previous path is simply not affordable when it comes to large-scale troop movements. So the first thing Chen Jinghui planned was to start overhauling roads in the areas under his control, building a 10-meter-wide cement road between all the major towns. It can not only promote local economic development, but also meet the needs of large-scale troop movements, and has passed large-scale heavy equipment.
This morning, Chen Jinghui had just finished breakfast, and before he could go out in a hurry, Huang Erwa ran to their house.
"What's the urgency when you're here?"
When Chen Jinghui saw him coming over in a hurry, he thought that something urgent had happened to the special combat team, so he immediately stopped his hand and asked, which was packing up the drawings.
"Commander, that's the thing. Do you remember that when we attacked Nanchang, the old man who assisted us in besieging the devil's artillery position was the one on the Yan'an side. Huang Erwa reminded.
"I know, what's wrong, is it possible that the old man asks you for payment?" Chen Jinghui asked suspiciously.
"No, military commander, that old man said that he had something very important and wanted to talk to you alone. But he felt that he was not familiar with you, and he was afraid that he would suddenly find you, and you would ignore him, so he asked me to convey the news.
Huang Erwa told him the news that Lao Yu met Chen Jinghui, and hoped that Chen Jinghui would agree to see him with expectant eyes. After all, when attacking Nanchang, people tied up their own big favors.
And as soon as Chen Jinghui heard that Lao Yu was looking for him, he felt that there must be something, and it was still something from Yan'an. He thought about it for a while, but decided to meet and see what was going on.
"You go and invite Lao Yu to the meeting room of the headquarters, where I will wait for him."
Half an hour later, Huang Erwa took Lao Yu to the headquarters. After explaining the situation to the doorman, he went directly to the meeting room of the headquarters.
"Old Yu, this is the commander of our Flying Fox. Army commander, this is Lao Yu, the liaison officer of Yan'an in Nanchang. ”
Entering the living room, Huang Erwa wanted to introduce the two to each other.
"Hello to you, welcome. Thank you very much for your help last time in Nanchang. ”
Chen Jinghui immediately stepped forward, covered Lao Yu's hands with both hands, and kept welcoming and thanking.
"Commander Chen is polite, the purpose of our party is to unite all forces that can be united, and to maintain the national united front. In attacking Nanchang, we just did what we should do as sons and daughters of China. ”
"Well said, all my Chinese sons and daughters should have the spirit of defending the land and serving the country."
Although it was all a scene, it was comfortable to listen to in the historical context at that time.
"Old Yu, I heard the report from the second baby that you are in a hurry to find me, compared to what is difficult."
After the politeness, Chen Jinghui returned to the topic and began to ask what was the matter with this old man looking for himself.
And when Chen Jinghui asked this old man what he was looking for him, Huang Erwa immediately turned around and left, closed the door of the living room, and then personally became a guard outside the door. He knew that what was going to happen next was not what he should know, so he knew each other very well.
"Commander Chen, you also know that our Yan'an side has always been short of supplies. We are indeed experiencing some difficulties and would like to ask you for help. At this time, we sent a telegram from Deputy Commander Zhou the day before yesterday, and I would like to ask you to take a look at it. ”
Lao Yu did not say anything directly, but handed Chen Jinghui a telegram that had been prepared early.
Chen Jinghui turned out to be old and read Yu's telegram. Deputy Commander Zhou said in a newspaper that due to the relatively rapid development of the troops on the Eighth Route Army's side, there is now a serious shortage of materials, especially weapons and ammunition. It is hoped that the liaison officers in the various provinces will find a way to see where they can buy their continued arms and ammunition, as well as some other supplies, at lower prices.
After reading the telegram, Chen Jinghui deeply felt the bitterness of the predecessors. In order to fight against the Japanese invaders, they continued to fight on the front line despite such difficulties. He felt that he had to help him, and no matter who was in that name, he had this obligation and responsibility.
In one case, the weapons such as the devil's 38 big cover and crooked handle inside were originally prepared for Yan'an. Since Yan'an needs it now, it is better to be a favor and sell it cheaply.
"Old Yu, I'm sorry, we don't have much of this medicine for the time being, so we can't help you much. But we do have some of these weapons, and I don't know how many you need. ”
Chen Jinghui told Lao Yu what he meant, hoping that it could come up with a more specific list, and he would see if he could output so much.
"Master Chen, are you telling the truth? Are you really willing to sell us weapons? ”
Lao Yu didn't expect that Chen Jinghui would directly promise him without thinking about it, and asked him for a specific amount. It was so fast that he couldn't believe his ears and immediately reconfirmed.
"Hehehe, you sit down first, don't get excited. What I just told you is true, just tell me the exact number and I'll see if there are so many of them. ”
Chen Jinghui smiled and pulled Lao Yu, who stood up excitedly, to sit down. And reconfirm this matter to him, but that he does not have many chiefs, and hopes that their number is not too large.
"Okay, okay, I'll sit down. Thank you so much, Commander Chen, for solving our big problem. But...... I don't know what price Commander Chen is going to sell to us. ”
Although Lao Yu was very happy to sit down again, he did not faint. This weapon deal is a big deal, he doesn't dare to be sloppy, especially the price, he must first determine it, lest he can't afford to buy it and rejoice.
"It's good to say the price, what is the price you bought for the right person before, and can you tell me about the layout."
Chen Jinghui naturally knows why he is always worried about the price. Because Yan'an's economic resources are not much, and military purchases are very large expenses, they can't accept too high prices at all.
"Don't hide it from Commander Chen, we only bought rifles before, which were 35 oceans a piece."
"What? 35 oceans. ”
Chen Jinghui stood up in surprise when he heard the rifle of 35 oceans, this price is really too pitiful. He knows that there are currently a maximum of 20 oceans for a rifle on the market, and it is already a huge profit. Because a rifle costs a little more than an ocean. And Yan'an actually bought it at a price of 35, which also shows that few people are willing to buy them weapons.
"That's right, it's 35 oceans. And after buying it back, many of them are broken, they can't be used at all, and we have to repair them again. ”
Lao Yu lowered his head helplessly, he knew why Chen Jinghui was surprised. Because the price at which they used to buy arms was so high that those who did not understand would think they were fools. His Lian was so hot that he didn't dare to look up at Chen Jinghui at all, for fear that others would look down on him.
"Old Yu, you raise your head, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. I know a little bit about your situation, so you don't have to worry too much. And in order to be fair to you, the price I give you is this. There are 5 oceans for rifles, 10 oceans for light machine guns, 30 oceans for heavy machine guns, 50 oceans for mortars, and you will be given enough ammunition for a base. As for bullets and shells, the price is like this. I'll give you 150 rounds of bullets and one round of shells for one ocean. What do you think. ”
Chen Jinghui originally had no intention of sending these weapons to Yan'an, but now considering that he also needs money to develop, he will sell them for some money, and at most he will grow stronger in the future, and give them better things for free
"What? So cheap. ”
When Lao Yu heard Chen Jinghui's price, he couldn't believe his ears again. This kind of price is outrageous, and no one in the world will sell it at such a price. He began to wonder if Chen Jinghui had any weapons, or if the weapons that Chen Jinghui bought for them were rotten.
Chen Jinghui knew what he was thinking as soon as he looked at the old Bai Qing, he smiled himself, and then shouted at the door.
"Huang Erwa, come in."
Huang Erwa, who had been standing at the door, heard Chen Jinghui calling herself, and immediately pushed the door in to see what was going on.
"Erwa, this is a slip, you go to the warehouse and move a box of devils' weapons, hurry up."
Huang Erwa took Chen Jinghui's approval slip and immediately turned around and left. Ten minutes later, he led two warriors into the parlor carrying a wooden box. After putting the box down, he took two warriors to guard the door.
"Old Yu, open it and see if you are satisfied."
Crunch
Lao Yu was not polite at all, and directly stepped forward to open the box. But the moment he opened the box, he was stunned. Because there was nothing else in the box, but a brand-new 38 lid, all wrapped in oiled paper and lying there.
Click
He immediately picked up a random rod from it and pulled the bolt, and the bright chamber of the gun immediately appeared in front of him.
"Good gun, good gun!"
While he was playing with the 38 big cover in his hand, his mouth kept praising it. Some of the ones they bought before were all made in Hanyang, or medium formal, and there were no devils' 38 big covers at all.
"How's that, you're satisfied!"
Chen Jinghui interrupted Lao Yu's interest and immediately asked him if he was satisfied with such a weapon.
"Satisfied, satisfied, I don't know if Commander Chen is such a new product?"
"Huh...... Truth be told, we don't have a lot of new goods, the others are used. But you can rest assured, I will not sell you any bad goods. ”
Chen Jinghui told him the truth and let him decide for himself.
