After shaking hands, Riddle smiled at Yan Guangdao. "Yan, you really gave us a problem this time."

"But that's a problem that many people are rushing to do, isn't it?!"

Hearing Yan Guang's answer, Riddle and Charlie both smiled and didn't speak. Because as he said, this business is indeed a problem, but this problem in Shanghai is a problem that many people want to rush to solve, because the profit that can be brought by solving the problem is too rich, which is why they hurried to Shanghai after receiving the telegram.

Although Jardine Matheson and Rite & Co. are the largest British and German foreign companies in China, this does not mean that they have no competitors in China. In other words, as long as Yan Guang is willing, there are many foreign firms that can replace them in Shanghai...

"You're tired of traveling, do you want to take a break first, and wait until tomorrow to talk about business?" Looking at his watch, although it was only 10 o'clock in the morning, Yan Guang still asked the two people.

However, in the face of Yan Guang's kindness, the two of them shook their heads with a smile. "Thank you for your kindness, Yan, but let's talk about business first." The two are different from Yan Guang, as natives of this era, they have long been accustomed to the bumps of the carriage on the primitive road, so when the carriage drove onto the concrete road, the two of them felt very comfortable...

Although I don't understand it very well, since Charlie and Riddle said so, of course Yan Guang will not insist on asking.

"Since you say so, let's talk about business first." After sitting down with each other, Yan Guang faced the two people. "You shouldn't have any problems with the things on the order form."

Charlie and Riddle looked at each other, and finally Riddle spoke first. "Rifles and pistols, although we don't have them in stock in China, can be shipped from Germany and the UK, so there's no problem. However, the number of light and heavy machine guns, mountain artillery, and field artillery is a bit large, and I am afraid that it will need to be customized in the arsenal..."

"That's right." Charlie also spoke. "The last purchase of the Madsen light machine gun alone has already emptied the inventory on the Danish side, so this time we have to wait for the temporary production of the arsenal..." You know, between 1903 and 1914, Russia only purchased 1,500 from Denmark, and then Bulgaria only purchased 600...

There is also the War of Resistance that we are all familiar with, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Ordnance Bureau of the National Axe also ordered two batches of Madsen from Denmark, which arrived in 1938 and 1940 respectively, and the two batches all added up to only 3,300 pieces...

In other words, the 5,000 Madsen machine guns ordered by Yan Guang are even much more than the Russian and Nationalist axes combined, and although such a number can be called big business, it is also a pressure on the Danish Rekylriffelsyndikata/S arsenal...

"In that case, how soon will the batch of arms I ordered arrive at the earliest?" Although Yan Guang was not in a hurry to get all the goods arrived, he still asked.

"Is it time to arrive?" said Charlie, after a deep sigh. On the way here, I have already discussed with Mr. Riddle that the 100,000 1888 Commission rifles you are asking for will take at least 2 to 3 months to ship from Germany, and the Browning M1900 pistol, which will also take 2 to 3 months to arrive from London. ”

"As for the Maxim and the 75-mm mountain artillery and field artillery, although the number of these arms is somewhat large, because the demand is also large, there should still be stocks in Britain, Germany, and France, and if they are shipped to Sichuan from the above three countries in batches, it is believed that they will be delivered by July or August. The only thing that is more troublesome is the Danish Madsen machine gun, because this machine gun is not in great demand, and it needs to be produced in the arsenal on an improvised basis, so we don't know how much time it will take ...

"And what is the maximum time limit?" Yan Guang didn't talk nonsense and asked directly.

Charlie and Riddle glanced at each other, and finally Riddle replied. "If you place an order now, the first batch should be able to be shipped to China in May, as for how much the first batch can ship, and when all 5,000 will arrive, I'm sorry, because we don't know very well, so we need to send a telegram to the Danish side to ask..."

"That's it..."Yan Guang nodded. Then you can use my wireless telegram here to send an inquiry. ”

Sichuan and Guizhou are mountainous, and the Makqin and 75-mm mountain guns and field guns are too cumbersome and obviously not as practical as mortars and light machine guns, so the most urgent Yan Guang among the above-mentioned equipment is the Madsen light machine gun. As for mountain artillery, field artillery and Makqin are still very good for deterrence, such as some miscellaneous armies in surrounding provinces, get a few artillery groups out, maybe a round of shell rain can be used as the opponent's morale collapse...

The two sides then discussed the details, and when the general framework was agreed, Charles and Riddle sent a telegram to their respective foreign firms using the wireless telegraph here in Yan Guang, asking them to send a telegram to London, Berlin, Paris, and Copenhagen asking about weapons.

After learning that Yan Guangzheng was preparing to purchase 20 million yuan worth of arms from the Germans and the British (the exchange rate between the Yuan and the Silver Dollar was basically 1:1 at that time), Kobayashi Li asked Kobayashi Hideko to inquire about more details from Yue Chang, after all, the purchase of 20 million Yuan of arms was too exaggerated for a warlord. If you add to this the fact that more than 10 million yuan of arms and industrial equipment were purchased earlier, then this Yan Guang can no longer be described as an exaggeration...

In fact, if it weren't for the lack of confidence in grabbing business with Britain and Germany, I'm afraid that Kobayashi would have the idea of sending the news back to let his family get involved.

It's just that although Kobayashi asked Kobayashi Hideko to go to Yue Chang to find out the information, but the relationship between Kobayashi Hideko and Yue Chang is only a quasi-couple after all, and this kind of thing is not something that a girl should care about, and deliberately going to inquire will only seem very abrupt and cause unnecessary suspicion, so Kobayashi Hideko can only knock on the side when the two are dating...

But even so, Kobayashi Hideko still heard a lot of useful information, after all, as Yan Guang's personal adjutant, Yue Chang will still know some secrets more or less, and the current sense of secrecy within the Sichuan army is not very strict, or in this era, few people have such a sense of secrecy...

"Sichuan Industrial Base..."Listening to the information that Kobayashi Hideko had just gotten, Kobayashi nodded after motioning for her to sit down first. I wonder how Yan Guang senses the empire will be, and it will become an obstacle to the Manchurian plan? It's hard to say..."
