In the days of waiting for Juan's return, Wang Sirui waited for the return of Juan's subordinates sent to Europe first.

In Europe, they did not achieve very good results, in addition to continuing to help various factories recruit some technical personnel, in terms of Wang Sirui's most needed military talents, this is almost zero.

Those who have been famous for a long time refuse to come, and all of them are young guys, the highest status of these people is that they once worked as R&D designers in the R&D department of the Mauser Rifle Factory.

And when Wang Sirui asked, he felt a little disappointed, this 'elite' recruited by Juan's subordinates was actually one of the technical team members responsible for the development of gun barrels in the R&D department of the Mauser Rifle Factory.

As for the data on other aspects of the weapon, he did not know at all, and the factory did not allow them to talk to each other about the progress of their respective developments and any data.

Therefore, after encouraging the so-called 'technical talents', Wang Sirui asked him to be in charge of research in the arsenal that was about to be commissioned.

However, before the official production, Wang Sirui still has a very important thing to solve, that is, the technical problem of producing rifles. The factory has been built, but at present, its own strength is not able to develop it, so it is necessary to purchase foreign technology in the short term.

But before that, Wang Sirui also had to deal with the difficulties of the Japanese.

At the end of April, as the number of recruits for Wang Sirui's Han army increased, Komura Shoutaro, who had been hiding in the capital and waiting for news, was also a little anxious.

The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the Japanese, and he must take advantage of Wang Sirui's unprepared war to quickly take the minerals in the Northeast, otherwise once Wang Sirui is given time to react, it is difficult to say whether the Japanese can get those minerals later.

So, on April 30th, Komura Shoutaro finally made up his mind to visit Wang Sirui.

And Komura Shoutaro's greeting post has also been sent out for nearly half a month.

"Your Excellency still has something to say!" Wang Sirui squinted slightly and looked at Komura Shoutaro, this experienced old fox was a little difficult for Wang Sirui to guess, and even more uncomfortable.

And Wang Sirui has inherited the traditional nature of a soldier very well, so he doesn't want to wait, let alone waste his limited time in this silent confrontation.

"Well, I won't go around in circles. Actually, I am here to discuss a business with you on behalf of the Empire of Japan. In your words, this business will be a win-win cooperation for the Japanese Empire and you. Komura said with a smile.

Obviously, when talking to Wang Sirui, Komura Shoutaro obviously regained the feeling of being a strong man, which is much cooler than pretending to be a grandson in Sa Daoyi.

"Business? Do I still have business with you Japanese? Wang Sirui said with a disdainful face.

"Hehe, actually, we're already good partners now, aren't we?" Komura Shoutaro said pointedly, and then saw that Wang Sirui didn't understand something, so he continued to say: "Your army is equipped with a large number of standard weapons of the Great Japanese Empire, isn't this a cooperation between our two sides?" ”

Wang Sirui burst into tears in an instant, what the hell is this called cooperation? If Lao Tzu hadn't seen that you Japanese devils had the largest number of people coming to China, it would be easier to find you than to find German devils, so it would be easier for the troops to get supplies, and in addition, Japan was relatively close to China, so it could also save some freight costs.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Wang Sirui does not have time to wait for those weapons to be shipped from distant Europe, and he does not dare to guarantee that those weapons can be shipped smoothly.

In short, this is the reason why Wang Sirui chose Japanese weapons, which are easy to replenish and cheap, it's that simple.

If there is a second choice, Wang Sirui will never choose Japanese weapons, what the hell is it, the magazine is very easy to enter the dust, and as a result, the rifle cannot be fired, and when it is not used, he has to find a piece of cloth to wrap it.

"Do you think I'd use your weapons if I had a choice?" Wang Sirui asked rhetorically.

"In any case, the Imperial Japanese Army's weapons have been equipped with a lot, if you replace them at this time, I'm afraid it will waste a lot of money in your army, and your army doesn't seem to have an arsenal, and it is currently expanding its army, and there are not enough weapons, which may affect Your Excellency's next plans." Komura Shoutaro first pointed out Wang Sirui's weaknesses, and then continued:

"So, the Great Japanese Empire is coming. The Empire of Japan has always felt that Your Excellency is a trustworthy person and a friend of our Empire of Japan, so if you wish, the Empire of Japan can provide you with 20,000 rifles and 2 million bullets free of charge. You can even send instructors to help you train your army. ”

"Hmph, 20,000 rifles want to send Lao Tzu away, but I don't know if I really think that Lao Tzu is called Huazi. As for sending instructors, do you think you Japanese are qualified? Or is it that you were the victors on the battlefield before? Wang Sirui directly rejected the Japanese proposal.

Wang Sirui is not one of those leopards who has never seen the world, don't look at the conditions given by the Japanese, but he may not be able to calculate you behind his back.

Support some weapons, but what about the others? It's impossible to buy other weapons, right? This will greatly drag down their logistical supplies.

Then you need to buy all the remaining weapons from the Japanese, and the more you buy, the more it proves that you can't do without the Japanese, and once you leave the Japanese, you will lose all the sources of supplies.

The trick of sending instructors is actually to put it bluntly, the Japanese hope to train Wang Sirui's Han army into a pro-Japanese army in this way, at least they will not be disgusted with the Japanese.

"30,000 rifles, and when Your Excellency makes the next plan, the Empire of Japan can support and even help Your Excellency complete that plan." Komura continued to increase his stacks.

"I'm sorry, I don't need the support of the Japanese, and I don't have a plan for the next step, even if I do, it's to drive out all the invaders and reclaim all our lost land. If your country is really sincere in cooperating, then please return the DPRK first, otherwise there is no need to talk about it. Wang Sirui did not hesitate to reject Komura Shoutaro again's bargaining chips.

Of course, there is another reason why Wang Sirui is not impressed, that is, Wang Sirui no longer plans to continue to equip Little Japan's Type 30 rifles.

"In other words, Your Excellency will not cooperate with the Great Japanese Empire under any circumstances?" Although Komura Shoutaro felt a hint of disappointment, he was not too surprised.

If Wang Sirui is the kind of person who will follow you if he gives some benefits, then he will not stand up and fight the coalition forces in such a dangerous situation last year.

was rejected by Wang Sirui, this was something that Komura Shoutaro had already expected, and even before coming back, he was ready to be rejected.

"That's right, the Chinese nation will not cooperate with those hypocrites who are bullying us while pretending to be good people." Wang Sirui said happily.

"In that case, then I have no choice but to take my leave. However, I hope that you will consider it carefully, and if you change your mind, you can go to the embassy of the Imperial Japanese Empire and tell us, and I will come to discuss the specific matters with you immediately. With a regretful expression, Komura Shoutaro stood up and said goodbye.

Wang Sirui didn't answer Komura Shoutaro's words, let alone stand up to see him off, so he let Komura Shoutaro and his translator leave here under the watchful eye of the soldiers.

…………

"Hua Ren, it's very unwise for you to reject the Japanese like this, at least you should hold off for a while, and then refuse them after a certain amount of time." After Komura Shoutaro left, Wang Shizhen shook his head helplessly and walked out from behind.

Hua Ren is the word given by Wang Shizhen to Wang Sirui, Hua is naturally taken from the head of the Chinese nation, and benevolence represents benevolence and righteousness, which is his hope that Wang Sirui can firmly control his emotions and not have too harsh requirements for the Chinese people.

"In Europe, the British and French wore a pair of trousers, the Germans were squeezed and had no room to survive, and the Russians were mighty, but they were only paper tigers, and they could not protect themselves. Americans live alone in North America, with an extremely advantageous geographical location, no strong enemies around, and no war at home.

Although the European powers put too much pressure on us, once there is a crisis in their own country, then our pressure will naturally disappear. The Far East is a land that cannot support the two super empires, and now the Japanese are stronger than us, but their territory itself has become their biggest limitation, and in the entire Asian region, only China has a vast land and resources, and if the Japanese want to dominate, they must take more materials from us. Wang Sirui explained.

"Well, you're still trusting your instincts too much." Wang Shizhen shook her head helplessly.

He heard the meaning of Wang Sirui's words, Europe will inevitably have a big war in the future because of the territorial factor, the Russians are unable to protect themselves, the Americans are watching from across the sea, and there is probably a big war between them and the Japanese.

Theoretically, this is possible, but it's too far away and hard to believe.

"No, I'm not trusting my instincts, but I feel like we have what it takes to push this war back on our feet." Wang Sirui stood up with a smile.

"What? Do you want to ......? Wang Shizhen looked at Wang Sirui in disbelief, with a ghostly look.

"Yes, help me contact Mumo......"
