Under Yang Xingguo's gaze, it didn't take long for Murakami Shaozuo to regain a smile on his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
affirmed to Yang Xingguo: "Commander Yang is right, these materials are a congratulatory gift from our Great Japanese Empire to the Liaodong Army...... As a friend, I, the Imperial Japanese Empire, hope that the Liaodong Army will make persistent efforts to defeat once again a new round of encirclement and suppression that the Russian army may launch......"
"In addition, there is another reason why I came this time: that is, I was entrusted by the Ministry of War to further deepen the cooperation between the Liaodong Army and the Japanese Empire......
It turned out that after the news that the Liaodong Army had defeated Lao Maozi again and eliminated 4,000 Lao Maozi reached the Japanese military headquarters, the Japanese military headquarters had to readjust its assessment of the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army......
After analysis, the Japanese military department had to admit that in just half a year, the Liaodong Army had developed into an armed force that no one could underestimate.
If Japan can control this force, train them and make them stronger.
This so-called Liaodong Army is likely to play a decisive role in the next Russo-Japanese War.
Therefore, the Japanese military headquarters, which was bound to win the Liaodong Army, immediately issued an order to Murakami Shaozo, who was far away in Liaodong.
Ask Murakami Shaozo to control the Liaodong Army at all costs.
For Murakami Shaozo, the best way to control the Liaodong Army is to break into the Liaodong Army under the pretext of training the Liaodong Army.
As long as he enters the Liaodong Army, as an excellent officer of the empire, he has a way to make Yang Xingguo believe in himself, so as to win the training rights of the Liaodong Army step by step, and finally win the military power of the Liaodong Army through the training rights.
In Murakami's original plan, the materials and ammunition he brought to the Liaodong Army were some benefits for the Liaodong Army in order to break into the Liaodong Army.
Now, those benefits are gone.
Then he can only find a way to get Yang Xingguo to agree to enter the Liaodong Army through other channels and interests, and lay the foundation for himself to control the Liaodong Army step by step in the future.
So, after only a short period of contemplation, Murakami Shaoza spoke again: "As far as I know from the Imperial Japanese Military Department, there are almost no officers who graduated from regular military schools in the entire Liaodong Army......"
"In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, the military training of the Liaodong Army was formalized. The Imperial Japanese Military Department hopes to send some officers to join the Liaodong Army to assist Commander Yang in military training......"
"Not only that, but these soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire who joined the Liaodong Army, if they encounter a battle, they will definitely participate and assist the Liaodong Army in defeating the possible offensive of the Russian army......"
"Training ......" is indeed a very nice pretext.
If it weren't for Yang Xingguo's understanding of the Japanese in later generations, and knowing that in later generations, the Japanese would have mastered the command of many domestic armies through these means, and through the command power, they would have caused the bad deeds of one war after another.
Yang Xingguo would really be grateful for the actions of the Japanese, and did not hesitate to allow the Japanese to join the Liaodong Army and help the Liaodong Army train its troops.
However, at this moment, Yang Xingguo, who has hundreds of years of experience in the later world, will not be fooled by anything, and walks into the trap that the Japanese have set for him.
Seeing Yang Xingguo's hesitation, Murakami Shaozo continued to speak.
"Commander Yang, there is a greater benefit for our Imperial Japanese Army to join the Liaodong Army and help the Liaodong Army......"
"In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, our Japanese Empire will provide a batch of weapons and ammunition to the Liaodong Army free of charge......
"In addition, because the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army is linked to the honor of the Imperial Japanese Army, the Empire of Japan will definitely spare no effort to support the Liaodong Army......"
"The Japanese are simply wolf ambitions...... this is the only thought in Yang Xingguo's mind at this moment.
However, Yang Xingguo did not directly refuse.
Because, the conditions that Murakami Shaoza put forward later were too tempting......
Whether it is weapons and equipment, or the support that the Japanese have spared no effort to support them, they need now, and even in the Russo-Japanese War that is about to break out.
As for the Japanese who joined the Liaodong Army and wanted to seize the command of the Liaodong Army under the guise of military training. As a reborn, Yang Xingguo has a way to deal with them.
Therefore, under the gaze of Murakami Shaozuo, it didn't take long for an idea to appear in Yang Xingguo's mind.
Since the Japanese wolf is ambitious, then I will give them a lion to open his mouth......
If the Japanese retreat in the face of difficulties, nothing will happen......
If the Japanese agree to their lion's big mouth, then wait until they get the weapons and ammunition supported by the Japanese, and then find a way to deal with these Japanese who joined the Liaodong Army.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth quickly flashed a trace of an imperceptible sneer Yang Xingguo, and he spoke directly.
"Can ......"
"However, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army and ensure that the Liaodong Army can smoothly defeat the new round of encirclement and suppression that the Russian army may launch. I hope you can provide me with a batch of equipment and ammunition for the Liaodong Army first......"
"As long as the weapons and ammunition arrive, the people sent by your military headquarters can join the Liaodong Army and give me the Liaodong Army training ......"
Murakami's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Commander Yang, I don't know what the weapons and equipment you need are ......?"
"Six mountain guns, two thousand shells...... Twenty heavy machine guns, 100,000 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition...... 100 Madsen light machine guns, corresponding to 200,000 rounds of ammunition...... In addition, I want a set of machine tools and equipment that can repair weapons......"
"What...... Baga ...... Commander Yang, you are simply a lion with a big mouth......" Murakami Shaozo almost couldn't believe it
asked with an incredulous look in his eyes.
Yang Xingguo didn't speak, just looked at each other quietly.
To Yang Xingguo's surprise, Murakami Shaozo was angry and angry, but he did not reject Yang Xingguo's condition that he could be called a lion's mouth.
Because, in Murakami's opinion...... As long as the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire who joined the Liaodong Army could win the command of the Liaodong Army through training...... Even if the Great Japanese Empire equipped these weapons and ammunition with the Liaodong Army, it would be for the service of the Great Japanese Empire, and it was not wasted.
At this moment, Murakami Shaozo only hesitated for one thing......
Yang Xingguo's appetite is really too big, so many weapons and ammunition, and they are all heavy equipment...... Even if the Great Japanese Empire promised him, there was no way to take it out in a short time.
You must know that for the war that is about to break out, the Japanese army, which is already very short of heavy weapons, has already equipped all the troops with limited heavy weapons, and there is no surplus that can be sent to the Liaodong Army......
