Chapter 192: Selling Weapons

Since everyone's interest in investment is so high, Zhang Yunfei decided to satisfy everyone's interest, not only to set up the second batch of civilian factories in the industrial park, but also to reclaim a large amount of wasteland to plant wheat, corn, potatoes, cotton, etc., greatly enriching the agricultural product market in the base area, so that everyone can have enough to eat.

At present, his 200,000 troops have to purchase a large amount of grain every month, and it will cost a lot of ocean, and if he can save the money for purchasing grain, it will be a lot of money in the next year.

So, Zhang Yunfei patiently told the three of them about the scene and significance of investing in agriculture, and when they heard the eagerness on the faces of the three of them, they couldn't wait to immediately take out a large amount of ocean, hand it over to Zhang Yunfei, and invest in the agricultural company that Zhang Yunfei said was about to be established.

In the compliments and eager eyes of the three people, Zhang Yunfei left the restaurant and returned to his headquarters, as soon as he entered the headquarters, Zhang Yunfei saw Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, holding a list, looking at it carefully, and with a smile on his face, it seemed that he was in a very good mood.

Zuo Qingquan, who was looking at the list, saw Zhang Yunfei coming in, immediately stood up, and said happily: "Commander-in-chief, we have captured a lot of weapons from the little devils, you look at the list that has just come out, there are more than 10,000 rifles alone, and a lot of weapons and equipment have been found in the warehouse of the little devils in Jining." ”

Zhang Yunfei took the list and looked at it carefully, this time the first cavalry brigade that annihilated the little devils captured more than 12,000 Type 38 rifles, more than 100 crooked machine guns, and Type 92 heavy machine guns are relatively few, only 36, it may be that the cavalry brigade of the little devils is equipped with very few heavy machine guns.

There are 1.5 million rounds of ammunition of all kinds, in addition to 24 Type 92 infantry guns and nearly 1,000 shells, these infantry guns and shells were found in the warehouse of the little devil in Jining, and the cannon is still very new, it may be that the little devil rarely uses it in ordinary times, and he retreated in a hurry, and he did not have time to destroy and take it away.

At the end of the list, it is also written that tens of thousands of cavalry sabers were captured, more than 200 pistols in the Wangba box, more than 5,000 Oriental war horses, and more than 10,000 war horses of the Little Devil Cavalry Brigade, many of which were killed, and only these more than 5,000 war horses remained, and these war horses could just be given to the cavalry division, and the cavalry division could also be expanded by several thousand people.

Although there are a lot of weapons seized, Zhang Yunfei is still relatively calm, the weapons and equipment of tens of thousands of little devils have been seized before, and this time it can only be regarded as a drizzle. However, Zuo Qingquan, chief of the general staff, could not calm down, when he was deputy chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army in the past, how could he have captured so many weapons and equipment at one time, and he could capture the weapons and equipment of one or two thousand little devils at a time, which would be very good.

Therefore, Zuo Qingquan, the chief of the general staff, was very happy in his heart, and he was a little excited, and after a long time, he calmed down his excited mood a little, and said to Zhang Yunfei with joy: "Commander-in-chief, how can we deal with so many weapons and equipment, do you want to ask the central government?" ”

Zhang Yunfei knew that it would not be possible to do so without consulting the central authorities, and that it would be impossible to conceal the seizure of so much equipment from the central authorities; fortunately, most of the equipment he had seized in the past had been sent to the central authorities or the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and he had a very good impression in the minds of the principal leaders of the central authorities.

So, Zhang Yunfei said: "We have seized so many weapons and equipment, we must truthfully report to the central authorities, but at the same time, we also suggest that the central authorities only hand over half of the weapons and equipment, and we will handle the other half of the weapons and equipment ourselves." ”

Chief of Staff Zuo immediately said: "I think this method is okay, we will leave half of the weapons at our disposal, the central government must have no opinion, when I was in the 18th Group Army in the past, all the weapons we seized were handled by ourselves." The weapons seized by the New Fourth Army are also handled by themselves, as long as they are reported to the central authorities for the record. ”

Hearing what Chief of Staff Zuo said, Zhang Yunfei was very relieved and immediately decided: "Then immediately send a report to the central authorities to report our seizures, and at the same time hand over half of the weapons to the central authorities, which can be regarded as our support for the fraternal troops." ”

"Okay, I'll order the correspondent to send a report right away, but, Commander-in-Chief, we won't need these little devil weapons for the time being, and it's too wasteful to put them in the warehouse." Left Chief of Staff said regretfully.

Zhang Yunfei smiled mysteriously, "My chief of staff, how can these weapons be wasted?" We are now engaged in large-scale construction in the base area, and funds are also relatively tight, so I am ready to sell these weapons in exchange for the funds we need. ”

Hearing that Zhang Yunfei was going to sell weapons, Zuo Qingquan was taken aback, and said a little surprised: "Commander-in-chief, this is not good!" ”

Zhang Yunfei was a little surprised when he saw Zuo Qingquan, so he explained: "The current anti-Japanese forces, not only our Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, our 36th Group Army, but also the Central Army of the Kuomintang, the Jin Sui Army, etc., everyone is our national defense force, these weapons I plan to sell to Yan Laoxi, in the hands of the Jin Sui Army, can also play his role, at the end of last year's Taiyuan Campaign, the Jin Sui Army in Zhengtai Road but eliminated a lot of little devils." ”

"However, in the end, the Jin Sui Army is a force led by the Kuomintang, and we are a force led by [***], and we have different political views, so I am afraid that one day, we will meet each other in arms." Zuo Qingquan said worriedly.

Zhang Yunfei said lightly: "I have long looked down on the political struggle, I just want to fight with all my heart, in my eyes, as long as they are bent on fighting little devils, they are our friends, and anyone who betrays the country to seek glory when the Han Dynasty annihilates is my enemy." As for whether they will meet each other in the future, we don't know, but I will try not to let the Chinese kill each other and avoid civil war. ”

After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, his eyes were full of firmness and his face was firm.

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's words, Chief of Staff Zuo pondered for a long time before saying: "I hope so, the two parties do not want a civil war, and we, as [***] people, do not want to see the Chinese killing each other." ”

When Zhang Yunfei saw Chief of Staff Zuo say this, he was also a little relieved in his heart, knowing that most people did not want a civil war. However, it is still too early to talk about this topic, and the top priority is to drive the little devils out of China as soon as possible, and Zhang Yunfei is not willing to talk deeply on this topic, so he said to the chief of staff of Zuo: "Comrade Qingquan, then hurry up and send a report to Yan'an!" ”

"Okay, I'll order the correspondent to send a report right away." Chief of Staff Zuo walked out of the office quickly and walked towards the confidential room......

The next morning, the weather at Datong Airport was clear, the sky was blue, the visibility was very high, and there were only a few white clouds floating in the sky. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yunfei, dressed in military uniform, appeared at Datong Airport with several powerful special combat personnel, this time Zhang Yunfei was ready to take a flight to Taiyuan, and then drove to Yan Xishan's official residence to personally visit Yan Laoxi, and by the way, sell some arms and exchange some ocean.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhang Yunfei sent a telegram to Yan Xishan saying that he wanted to visit his brother, and Yan Xishan, who received the telegram, was full of enthusiasm and welcomed Zhang Yunfei to come, and said that he would wait for him.

As for the sale of weapons and equipment, Zhang Yunfei did not mention it in the telegram, Zhang Yunfei still felt that he needed to make it clear in person, and it was not too late to talk about it when he saw Yan Xishan himself. Zhang Yunfei is not worried that Yan Laoxi will not buy his own weapons, now Yan Laoxi has no arsenal, and the bullets consumed every month are all bought from his own hands, and Yan Xishan will definitely buy these weapons.

Before Zhang Yunfei set off, he convened a short meeting of the top leaders of the 36 th Group, and everyone unanimously agreed to sell this batch of arms to Yan Xishan.

Gao Zhihang, who greeted him at the gate of the airport, saw the majestic Zhang Yunfei walking towards this side surrounded by several special combatants, Gao Zhihang hurriedly walked forward, respectfully held Zhang Yunfei's hands, and said enthusiastically: "Hello chief, welcome to Datong Airport, the transport plane you explained is ready and ready to take off at any time." ”

"Okay, let's get on the plane." Zhang Yunfei said happily.

Gao Zhihang immediately took Zhang Yunfei and his party to the transport plane on the runway, Zhang Yunfei saw the transport plane parked on the runway, and he was itchy for a while, so he said to Gao Zhihang next to him: "Zhihang, how about you be the co-pilot for me this time?" ”

"Commander-in-chief, you said that you want to fly the plane yourself, this is not good, in case of any accidents, I can't afford it." Gao Zhihang was a little surprised at first, and then hurriedly persuaded Zhang Yunfei.

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, opened the hatch by himself, and sat in the cab, Gao Zhihang had no choice but to enter the cab and act as a co-pilot for Zhang Yunfei. When Gao Zhihang was about to tell Zhang Yunfei how to make a plane, he found that Zhang Yunfei had already done it, and he seemed to be very proficient.

Gao Zhihang was a little surprised, seeing that Zhang Yunfei's proficiency was not inferior to his own, his eyes were a little admiring, and he said admiringly: "Commander-in-chief, I didn't expect you to even be able to drive a plane, and you are so proficient in your work, it really makes Zhihang admire." ”

Zhang Yunfei had flown a few little devil's planes before, and in his previous life, as China's most outstanding special forces, his flight training was no less than that of ordinary pilots, and the complex planes in later generations could be piloted freely, not to mention this kind of aircraft with very simple structure and equipment, Zhang Yunfei naturally flew it was a piece of cake.

Under Gao Zhihang's admiring gaze, Zhang Yunfei piloted the transport plane, slowly accelerated, taxied for a few hundred meters, left the runway and flew into the blue sky, flying towards Taiyuan.
