Chapter 68: A Gentleman's Agreement
Zhang Xuewu knows very well that this huge amount of tobacco is worthless in his own hands who are in urgent need of funds, and he has never had the opportunity to implement the "line purchase" he proposed to Chiang Kai-shek, and so far Zhang Xuewu has not had a complete "line purchase" plan in his mind, to put it bluntly, he is short of money, very, very short of money, so that Zhang Xuewu has never felt that his hunger for money will make people fall into madness in his life.
Undoubtedly, selling big smoke is tantamount to drinking to quench thirst, but in the face of the obvious ambition of forgetting China, even if it is to drink to quench thirst Zhang Xuewu can only let it go, before Zhang Xuewu has always wanted to build a high mechanized composition of the troops, in the future of the large corps of operations using the tactics of rapid interspersed division to give the army a fierce blow, with tactics to affect the strategy, so that the transformation of the strategic form of the enemy and us will change the course of history.
However, Tang Ziqiang, a mechanized regiment with an experimental surname, made Zhang Xuewu extremely disappointed, one was the lack of suitable tanks, and the other was that the backward industrial level in China made him extremely worried, not to mention the engine used in the tank, and even the gears in the gearbox could only be produced in the forging workshop of the Jinling Arsenal, and the quality and specifications often did not match.
Once the parts of the tank are damaged, just like those imported weapons in later generations, it is necessary to wait for accessories, shells, barrels, tracks, transmission mechanisms, driving mechanisms, whether it is the whole casting or welding, riveting process of the turret can not be read in the production and maintenance of the country, in the face of the rapidly changing battlefield situation, once the mechanized troops lose their mobile surname advantage and defend the stronghold, I am afraid that the annihilation of the whole army will not be far away.
Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said calmly to Zhou Ying: "Since you can bring hundreds of carts to carry out the so-called labor army today, I'm afraid you are ready to transport the goods, right?" How about if I make a condition now that you can meet my words, and the things are pulled away, and I will send a battalion of cavalry to escort you back? β
Zhou Ying didn't expect Zhang Xuewu to directly prescribe conditions? Instead of waiting for tomorrow morning, Zhou Ying knew that in the eyes of a man like Zhang Xuewu, it was very rare for a woman to be cherished, especially a more active woman like her, so she was slightly stunned and said, "Please speak!" β
Zhang Xuewu nodded and said, "Presumably your boss has a certain influence in Shanghai and China, right?" According to the normal loss of this batch of goods, I want to be 20%, is it much? β
Zhou Ying smiled slightly and said: "Ercheng is really not much, if Master Zhang is willing to give convenience, then the little woman will really be grateful!" β
Zhang Xuewu smiled and said: "But I have one condition, that is, my twenty percent will be exchanged for US dollars or marks to buy arms in Germany, can you do it?" β
Zhou Ying was suddenly surprised: "Division Commander Zhang, you can be the Central Army, the weapons and materials of the Central Army are uniformly allocated by the Ministry of Military Affairs, why do you need to buy them yourself?" Could it be that Master Zhang also wants to seal the king and tear the earth, and the princes are on the side? β
Zhou Ying's unbridled laughter made Zhang Xuewu frown and said unhappily: "If Miss Zhou can't meet the contemptible conditions, please go back!" Tomorrow morning, I will publicly destroy this batch of cigarettes. β
Zhou Ying didn't expect Zhang Xuewu to turn his face faster than turning a book, so he complained a little: "Master Zhang really doesn't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and he doesn't save half face for a weak woman?" β
Zhang Xuewu sneered: "Weak woman? I'm afraid it's not appropriate to use this on Miss Zhou, right? Lead the convoy thousands of miles into the war zone, and you are not afraid of any accidents? You have to know that in this place of Rehe, soldiers are bandits, and bandits are soldiers! You don't even have to take off your military uniform, you can tear Miss Zhou to the bare light, do you believe it or not? You wouldn't really be naΓ―ve to think that these tens of millions of oceans of goods could be easily transported away by your more than 200 people? Another 300 pounds of gold and 7 million of the present ocean? If it is known by my cousin or Zhang Zuoxiang or Tang Yulin, your Miss Zhou will also be reduced to an attached plaything, and in the end you will be rewarded to those soldiers, and there will not be even a trace of meat left. β
Zhou Ying listened to Zhang Xuewu's words and suddenly had a cold war, no wonder Mr. confessed that even if he paid fifty percent of the goods, he asked Zhang Xuewu to send troops to escort him, and Dayang and Gold didn't mention it at all, and the bastard surnamed Li obviously wanted to put himself to death behind his back, how vicious his heart was!
Zhou Ying realized that she was at an absolute disadvantage, the soldiers and bandits in Rehe even dared to rob and kill the administrative commissioner of the Nanjing political axe, not to mention tens of millions of tobacco and soil, I am afraid that the gentleman in Shanghai is also very clear, so he will deliberately let the new first division check and detain, otherwise it will not be sooner or later to wait for Zhang Xuewu to take up the position of garrison commander, and there will be a problem here? Thinking of this, Zhou Ying smoothed out her thoughts, the Rehe War, the goods in Shanghai will rise at least seven or eight times, even if you lose half, it is an absolute big profit, but the premise is to be able to return the freight to Shanghai, you must know that the gold in the troubled times and the antiques in the prosperous times are the most valuable things, especially at this time at this time, the tobacco is known as black gold, which is a hard currency that can be ranked before the US dollar.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ying stabilized her mind and still said with a smile: "Master Zhang, I'm afraid I'm scaring the little girl!" If there are any conditions, please tell Master Zhang together! I believe that Master Zhang must be a trustworthy person who sent Buddha to the West. β
Zhang Xuewu nodded and said: "The weapons I want you to buy are not simple rifles, machine guns and other light weapons, but may include Germany's most advanced tanks and fifteen heavy grenades and half-track tractors and other related accessories, can you do it?" β
Zhou Ying smiled bitterly: "Even if I say that I can do it at this moment, do you believe it, Senior Zhang?" Even if the Germans had them, would they sell them to us? β
Zhang Xuewu smiled and said, "These are not the problems I should consider, I just ask you, Miss Zhou, can you do it?" β
Zhou Ying said helplessly: "The current situation is a man-made knife and I am a fish, can I say no?" β
Zhang Xuewu nodded with satisfaction, picked up the phone and said, "Is the combat department duty room?" Let a regiment unload the materials of the labor army, load all the special materials and the ocean and gold that have been withheld, notify the cavalry battalion of the division headquarters to be on standby, and order Tang Zhiqiang, deputy commander of the mechanized regiment, to personally lead half of the company to follow and protect. β
Zhang Xuewu's repeated orders made Zhou Ying completely relieved, and finally fulfilled his mission and did not disappoint his husband! It seems that it is time to pay for yourself.
Zhou Ying calmed down her mood, originally she wanted to hold Zhang Xuewu and make him her man, she was hungry and had been looking for the right opportunity for this precious first time, there was no suitable opportunity when she was in Nanjing, but under this contact, Zhou Ying helplessly found that Zhang Xuewu was not something she could control at all! Maybe this is the fate of women! It's hard to be a man in this troubled world, and it's even harder to be a woman.
A crystal tear flashed in the corner of Zhou Ying's eyes, her hand was trembling slightly and unbuttoning her clothes, this body is still the original body, but is she still herself?
When Zhou Ying turned around with her eyes closed, waiting for the wolf-like man to pounce on her and tear herself apart, what she heard was an exclamation, a coat draped over herself?
Zhang Xuewu was slightly annoyed and said: "The premise that I like women is that you love me, quickly put on your clothes!" Don't catch a cold on such a cold day! β
Afraid that you will catch a cold? A trace of gratitude floated in Zhou Ying's heart, maybe he can be regarded as a gentleman! A gentleman who doesn't take advantage of others? Maybe!
Zhang Xuewu lit a cigarette for himself and said leisurely: "This is a gentleman's agreement between you and me, I will load all the goods for you, and it is useless to stay with me, if I still have a breath in this battle, Miss Zhou, you and your boss will start to think about how to fulfill their promises!" If I die for my country, our agreement will be null and void! β
Zhou Ying was slightly stunned, it was the first time she saw a general talking about his life and death so frankly, she wanted to comfort Zhang Xuewu a few words, but she didn't know where to start, she hesitated for a while before saying: "The warlord melee and the Central Plains have fought repeatedly, and I haven't seen a few regiment commanders and brigade commanders killed, let alone division commanders, and you are still a dignified elite descendant of the Central Army, it will definitely not be like this." β
Zhang Xuewu glanced at Zhou Ying and said, "This time is different!" It is said that Kou is to come with selfless China, defeat is equivalent to the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, so we can only fight to the death, the future is indispensable for an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood to the death, the country is weak and backward, the people are insensitive, only with blood can we wake up, with the Great Wall of flesh and blood to defend the freedom of our nation-state! β
