Wang Bin was indeed surprised that the Japanese found themselves trading in Ke Lao Maozi.

If the Japanese chose to make it public directly after discovering this matter, then they would neither admit it nor deny it, anyway, if Japan and Russia start a war, they will desperately win over themselves and do not want the Qing court behind them to join the war, and the same Japan and Russia do not want the Qing court to join the war, so there is no chance of making a big scene, and once it makes a big fuss, it will only push Wang Bin to the other side, In Wang Bin's original plan, whether the Russians found themselves providing logistical support to the Japanese or the Japanese found themselves supplying arms to the Russians, he would remain silent, because the other side would definitely not give up this good opportunity to win over him.

But what Wang Bin didn't expect was that after the Japanese found out about this incident, they did not raise any diplomatic protests, but found themselves very directly, and they sold nearly 300,000 taels of silver!

Will you take this money or not? Wang Bin's heart was very entangled.

If the Japanese win the war in the future and take over the interests of the South Manchurian Railway and the Liaodong Peninsula from the Russians, Wang Bin estimates that if he wants to stay in the Northeast, the Japanese will only be afraid that they will continue to embarrass themselves.

If you take it, it means that the deal with the Russians is officially over, and the Russians will not get arms support from them, which will make their already extremely bad logistics even worse, and at this time, the hope that the Russian army can hold this war for a longer time is gone, and they will not be fishing in troubled waters.

Sato Ichiro saw that Wang Bin did not speak, and thought that the conditions he gave were not as generous as those of the Russians, so he continued to speak: "Please rest assured, General Wang, we will give the most favorable price for this transaction." ”

This sentence is actually telling Wang Bin in disguise that we will give a higher price than the Russians.

After saying this, Ichiro Sato took a sip of tea, because he believed that he could reach this deal with Wang Bin, thus cutting off the source of ammunition supply for the Russian army from Wang Bin.

After Sato Ichiro came to Liaoxi, after a period of observation, he found that Wang Bin was very close to the Russians and was not a staunch anti-Russian as advertised in the newspapers.

But at the same time, he also found that Wang Bin's series of actions after arriving in Liaoxi were all revolving around two things, the first was to make money, and the second was to expand the army.

Considering that Wang Bin's armaments to the Russians were generally nearly 30 percent higher than those in the international market, this made the Japanese even more convinced that Wang Bin was taking a huge risk for money.

In addition, Wang Bin was also very active in cooperating with the Japanese to carry out activities in western Liaoning, so Sato Ichiro would try to use the silver bullet offensive to buy Wang Bin and let Wang Bin help the Japanese.

Anyway, Wang Bin is trading arms to make money, so it is the same if they buy it at a higher price, so as to avoid some other accidents.

But what Sato Ichiro didn't know was that there was a deeper reason why Wang Bin made a deal with the Russians.

Wang Bin was silent for a moment before he spoke: "If your armament is really tight, then it's not like I can't sell some ammunition here to supply your battle, is it just a matter of this price?" ”

Ichiro Sato was overjoyed after listening to Wang Bin's words, and immediately raised three fingers and said, "General Wang, no matter what the original price is, we will increase the price by 30% on the original basis." ”

After listening to Ichiro Sato's words, Wang Bin nodded with satisfaction, relatively speaking, he was relatively satisfied with the price quoted by the Japanese.

Although the two did not mention the Russians now, there are many things that everyone knows and does not need to be singled out.

This original basis is not the ex-factory price or the price in the international market, but refers to the offer made by the Russians to Wang Bin, and if the Japanese want to snatch the ammunition from Wang Bin's hands, they have to get Wang Bin to agree willingly without causing other turmoil, and there is no other way than to increase the price.

Originally, they sold to the Russians by 30 percent more than the international market, but now the Japanese have raised the price of the Russians by 30 percent, and they are making double money!

Although the content of this conversation was very simple and did not last too long, it involved a lot of things, and I knew that in the end, Ichiro Sato watched Wang Bin accept the check for 40,000 pounds, and then left the reception room in the fifth town with great confidence.

What Sato Ichiro didn't know was that as soon as he left Wang Bin on his front foot, he asked the guards to call Sun Chuanfang and Ma Zikai into his office.

Not long after, Sun Chuanfang and Ma Zikai arrived at Wang Bin's office.

"My lord, I don't know what happened to the job department and others?"

Ma Zikai asked first.

Then Wang Bin told him about the deal that the Japanese had reached with him, and Sun Chuanfang asked with some curiosity after listening to Wang Bin's words: "My lord, since this is a deal with the Japanese, what should I do with the Russians?" ”

The implication is that the deal with Lao Maozi should not continue.

"If we trade with the Japanese, our monthly income will increase a lot, and if we do it in a few months, I'm afraid that we will be able to organize some patrol battalions under our own control."

Sun Chuanfang then expressed his opinion, in Sun Chuanfang's view, this arms sales are purely for the purpose of making money, and now the Japanese are paying a higher price, so they naturally want to sell them to the Japanese.

"It's just that the deal with the Russians will have to stop from now on."

Ma Zikai added on the side.

It's just that as soon as Ma Zikai and Sun Chuanfang's words fell, Wang Bin said: "Why don't you do business with the Russians?" We have to do business with both the Japanese and the Russians. ”

After hearing this, Ma Zikai was stunned for a moment before he said: "If you do this, the department is afraid that this transaction will be a little more than enough and not enough." ”

"If you don't have to worry about this for the time being, you can directly use all the resources in the arsenal, if it's not enough to take a step back, we can also buy it from a foreign bank, you must know that the price of both parties is much higher than that of a foreign bank!"

You must know that as long as Wang Bin can provide sufficient arms, then he can get a lot of money from the hands of the Japanese and Russians, even if the supply is not enough, Wang Bin still has a golden finger in his hand.

After listening to Wang Bin's words, Ma Zikai and Sun Chuanfang on the side thought in their hearts: If the matter of this transaction is leaked, maybe they will label the adult as a traitor.
