Just when the Great War of the Central Plains was in full swing. In the French Consulate in Shanghai, several Western consuls, military attachés, counselors, and arms dealers from various countries are gathering together.

Everyone hugged their beautiful dance partners, listened to beautiful piano music, ate exquisite food, and discussed the great battle that took place in various parts of the Central Plains.

"Mr. Melson, you Americans are moving too fast, and before we French can do anything, you have sold 100,000 guns to the National Army, and now you are not making any less money." The French consul smiled at a tall American in front of him.

"Oh, how much money do I make? Mr. Dawson of England sold 200 cannons and 50,000 rifles to the warlords of the Gui family, and he earned much more than me. The U.S. ** fire merchant said unconvinced.

"No matter how much I sell, I don't make as much money as the Soviets, who sell all the old weapons, but the Northwest Army collects all the orders at the price of new weapons." Dawson, a British fire merchant, said jealously.

"Don't stand and talk, don't be idle, your back hurts, the weapons you sell to China are either old weapons that are to be treated as garbage, or backward weapons that have been eliminated from your army.

Where we are like the Japanese, all we sell to the Northeast Army are the latest weapons of the Japanese style that are temporarily new. We Japanese are known for our honesty and reliability in business. Said the ambassador of the Japanese consulate.

"Forget it, you only sold Zhang Xueliang new weapons because the weapons made by Zhang Xueliang's own Shenyang Arsenal are also of high quality.

If it weren't for Zhang Xueliang's entire output being spent on the production of heavy weapons, and the production capacity of light weapons was insufficient for a while, their Shenyang Arsenal would not have needed to purchase your backward Japanese-style weapons from outside. The U.S. ambassador pointed out that Japan was also making money this time.

"Who said that? Our Japanese weapons are the best, and the Type 38 rifles we produce can kill and injure targets for 1,000 meters, while your rifles can only hit 500 meters. "The Japanese ambassador complained about his country's weapons.

"Your 38 type is also a good gun? At best, it's just a shotgun that hits a little farther, the rifle can hit the target from a distance of 200 meters, and it's all stray bullets, and our automatic rifle can fire in bursts or singles, and the rate of fire is five times that of your 38 type. "The American ambassador belittled the Japanese rifle.

"However, the speed at which your American arms waste ammunition is also very large, and it is far less economical than our Japanese arms." The Japanese ambassador said disdainfully.

"Joke, we Americans have a lot of money, countless resources, just a few arms, we consume, unlike some small countries, the territory is narrow, this person is also narrow-minded, even the weapons we make are defective products that cut corners." U.S. arms dealers refer to Sang and scold Huai.

"Baga! Who said that our arms cut corners, that is the latest technology, you white-skinned pigs don't understand. ”

Seeing that the Japanese ambassador did not give in, the two of them fought from rifles on both sides to machine guns, artillery, and finally to race, spirit, and land, and finally developed into a personal attack.

"Well, there's no need for us to point fingers at each other. Everyone is just trying to earn more money from the Chinese while the Chinese are fighting.

Anyway, it will cost a huge amount of money to destroy these backward weapons in their own country, and now the backward Chinese are willing to buy them at a high price, and it is good that we can sell one more.

Now that there is a war of millions of people, we should fully support them to fight for a few more years. In this way, we sell more arms and earn more. The Soviet ambassador said

"Hearing you say that, I think about why all of us together didn't sell 300,000 guns in a war of millions of people.

It stands to reason that for a war of one million troops, if you count the attrition, according to the internationally accepted standards, they should purchase at least 500,000 guns.

Where did the 200,000 or so shares that disappeared go? Also, have you noticed that we have sold very little of our cannons in the past two years?" This was stated by the US ambassador.

Hearing the American ambassador's statement, everyone in the audience turned their attention to the German ambassador and the French ambassador, because they found that the national army was now equipped with a large number of German and French equipment. And these things should naturally be their responsibility.

I saw that the German and French ambassadors said embarrassedly: "You should know that Li Tie signed an arms cooperation agreement with us two years ago that is valid for 10 years.

During these ten years, we sold Li Tie a batch of arms at a low price every year. In fact, Li Tie sold all those arms to the Nationalist Army, and we didn't know about them in advance, and his arms sales did steal a little of your business. ”

"Dare to love us here desperately you rob me of what I grabbed, all together, and the share of arms accounted for is only a little more than Li Tie.

Could it be that he now accounts for half of China's arms business? Didn't he earn all the money? In that case, we should work together to deal with Li Tie. The Japanese ambassador provoked.

In fact, not to mention half, their Huaxing company also purchased all kinds of living and military materials from all over the world at low prices, which were all transported to China by him and sold to the Chinese people at a low price. For this alone, his Huaxing company earned much more than he sold arms. The Soviet ambassador also said jealously.

"Baga, Li Tie's conscience is greatly broken, he actually robbed all of us from business, we should refuse to provide him with goods again, and when necessary, we should take action against him. It would be better if he could be made to disappear. "The Japanese ambassador actually wanted to kill Li Tie.

"Oh, as an ambassador of the British Empire, as a gentleman of the Empire, and even more so as a nobleman with a title in the Empire. I must give a warning to Mr. Jiro Koizumi.

You have just made a statement threatening the life of an Imperial Viscount, and I warn you on behalf of the British Empire. You are absolutely not allowed to hurt a single hair of Li Tie. Otherwise, you, Japan, will have to bear the wrath of our British Empire. The British ambassador straightened up and said solemnly.

"Let's not talk about whether Li Tie is good or not, now is the time of the global economic crisis, the country is eager to sell all the surplus materials to China, you still want to refuse to sell, you think that the domestic politicians know about this matter, will they fight with you." The Soviet ambassador explained again.

"Ah, when you say that, I remember. Li Tieke is not only a member of your British aristocracy, but also seems to have a good relationship with your two princes. The French ambassador said.

"Mr. Koizumi, on behalf of the U.S. government, I also warn you not to do anything to hurt Mr. Li Tie, although we are competitors in business competition, he is also the largest investor in our U.S. securities, and we don't want you to do anything that harms our U.S. investors." The U.S. ambassador also came up to join in the fun.

"Oh, Li Tie also invested in the United States." The Japanese ambassador deliberately pretended not to know.

"Of course, the whole 200 million US dollars may be billions in the future, so compared to the millions of dollars he robbed us of our business in China, the Chinese business is a drop in the bucket." The U.S. ambassador sincerely wants to defend Li Tie.

"Yes, we, the German government, warn you Japanese as well." This was stated by the German ambassador.

"And our French government." The French ambassador also came to join in.

"Oh, you misunderstood, when I said dealing with Li Tie, I just said that from a business point of view, we can compete fairly with him.

Although Li Tie has destroyed a lot of our industries in Shanghai, our Yamato nation has always been a nation with a big belly, and we will not do anything to damage the glorious image of our Yamato nation because of such a trivial matter. The Japanese ambassador said insincerely.

"That's the best, come, let's toast to the Chinese civil war that is getting bigger and bigger, and our money is getting bigger and bigger." The French ambassador proposed.

"Cheers!" And all the people joined together.

Jiro Koizumi had just finished drinking and was looking for an opportunity to call a young adjutant beside him. "Kubo-kun, you immediately call back to Dohihara-kun and provoke the ministers of various countries to deal with Li Tie's plan to fail. Li Tie has people in various countries as a guarantor, and we can't move him for the time being.

In addition, I gave him a suggestion that it would be more convenient to deal with his parents in the Northeast than to deal with Li Tie openly. It just so happened that the Black Dragon Society had been haunted by the destruction of the Hongkou Dojo, so it was better to send the news of Li Tie's parents in the Northeast to the Black Dragon Society. The Japanese ambassador whispered.

The adjutant nodded vigorously in agreement, and immediately returned to the Japanese consulate, where the adjutant went to the consulate's telegraph room and sent the order to Tohihara in the northeast.

After that, the adjutant returned to his residence by car, and when he passed by the vicinity of Huaxing Foreign Bank, he suddenly remembered that the cigarette was gone. So he stopped the car, went to a cigarette stall, and bought six packs of cigarettes in one go, one pack of China, two packs of Daqianmen, and three packs of pandas.

The adjutant got into the car after buying the cigarettes, and generously gave the driver a pack of pandas. The driver happily sent the adjutant back to the house he had rented in Shanghai.

When the adjutant saw that the driver was far away, he immediately returned to the study, found a Western masterpiece, took out a blank piece of paper and wrote a bunch of numbers.

Then, early the next morning, taking advantage of the opportunity to go out to buy breakfast, he slipped the note into the hollow of a large locust tree not far from his home.

Not long after the adjutant had finished buying breakfast, the young man who had been selling cigarettes on the street where Huaxing Foreign Company was located yesterday hurried to the big locust tree.

He sat next to the tree hole and pretended to rest, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he secretly took out the note from the tree hole and immediately disappeared into the street.

An hour later, the cigarette dealer returned to his home after turning around several times and finding that there was no suspicious person following him, and immediately pulled a radio station out of the kang hole and sent the numbers on the note at a unique frequency.

After that, the cigarette dealer stuffed the radio back into the kang hole. After cleaning the traces, he picked up the cigarette stall and walked to the street, and came to the street of Huaxing Foreign Bank again, selling cigarettes as usual.

At this moment, the basement of the Golden Tiger Club received a special secret report again, which was also sent to the Thousand Tails Scorpion by a red paper envelope, and after the Thousand Tails Scorpion deciphered it again, it immediately drove to Hua Xingyang's luggage iron office.

As soon as he entered the door, the thousand-tailed scorpion said anxiously: "The Seven of Spades is calling, and the Japanese want to ask the people of the Black Dragon Society to deal with their parents who are far away in the Northeast." What are we going to do? ”
