Chapter 168: Planning the Arsenal

Su Daojing looked at Lei Tianzheng blankly, not knowing what he wanted? Sending his son into the army, and there is a reason why Su Dao can't refuse. After graduating from the Royal Naval Academy in the United Kingdom and returning to China, this identity alone is enough to make Su Dao pay enough attention to it, Su Dao wants to build the 99th Army into an all-round iron army, whether it is sea, land and air, there must be the shadow of the 99th Army, and there must be a share that the 99th Army can speak.

Among them, the development of the navy is the most difficult, not only needs to have a huge industrial system to support, but also every naval ship is also a big spender, just like a bottomless pit, no matter how much money you invest, how much manpower and material resources, it will always be unable to satisfy its appetite.

Compared with warships and factories, talent is the most urgent shortage of Su Dao, warships he can use the atlas to exchange, surface ships can't do it, let's come to the submarine, with the help of the atlas, if you lose one, he can immediately replenish two, this is not the slightest problem, but only in the area of talent, he can not be replenished at any time.

Before, it was nothing, the troops were still relatively small, and there were just a few people, just rub it and knead it, and have their own full command, as long as there is no mistake in the general direction, it doesn't matter if there is a mistake in the small direction. But not now, with more and more troops, and more and more types of troops involved, Su Dao simply doesn't have the energy to take care of every unit, and the large corps is not like before, a slight mistake may subvert all the previous efforts.

After thinking about it for a long time, Su Dao decided to fight, no matter what the level of this Lei Tianzheng's son is, see it first, the naval officer who graduated from the Royal Naval College in the United Kingdom, even if it is worse, should not be much worse, and he is only a trainee who has just graduated and has not been on a warship.

As for why his son has never been on a warship, Su Dao doesn't have to think about it and knows very well, with the arrogance of the British, it would be good to let Lei Tianzheng's son enter the Royal Naval Academy to study, as for going to the warship, don't even think about it, it is a confidential surname issue of the British, and it is impossible for him to be known by an outsider.

"Okay, Su should do these two things." Su Dao really couldn't find a reason to refuse him, whether it was money or talents, Su Dao was in short supply now, and the Ninety-ninth Army had just arrived, and he was not familiar with the place here, so he would get twice the result with half the effort in Jinxi City after dealing well with the Chamber of Commerce.

However, Su Dao suddenly changed his words and continued: "But I think we also need to say the ugly things in front first, so as not to make us unhappy at that time." ”

"It should be, it should be." Lei Tianzheng nodded confusedly, he couldn't figure out what Su Dao was singing, sending you money and giving away people, and saying ugly things in front of him, I really don't understand what he thinks.

"I accepted this money on behalf of the 99th Army, and at the same time, in order to ensure the transparency of this money and let you patriotic businessmen rest assured that they donated, the Jinxi Chamber of Commerce must send a few people to our army's financial department to supervise the use of this money throughout the process. As for the logistics materials, there is no need, everyone is in business, and the minimum profit must be guaranteed, otherwise how can so many guys live? Therefore, if there are logistics officers of our department to buy materials in your store, Su does not want you to only sell us at the cost price, which is one or two percent lower than the market price, which can be regarded as a discount for our big customer, and you will not lose too much. Su Dao carefully replied to Lei Tianzheng's first question.

This seems to be a very stupid, silly and cute answer, in fact, it is also Su Dao's ulterior motive answer, the reason why the Chamber of Commerce sent people to the 99th Army Finance Department, Su Dao mainly takes into account two aspects, one is to make those members of the Chamber of Commerce rest assured, and they can be more assured and bold to donate money for them in the future, and after a long time, everyone knows the integrity of the 99th Army, and more and more people will inevitably join the donation, which undoubtedly has a very important role in improving the financial situation of the 99th Army.

At the same time, there is another consideration, through the personnel of these chambers of commerce stationed in the financial department, the welfare of the 99th Army can be well spread, and the people in the army may not believe it, but through the mouths of these chamber of commerce personnel, the credibility is another matter, with their propaganda, the next expansion of the 99th Army will not encounter any great difficulties, and it is estimated that everyone will join the army if they break their heads.

As for the last answer, Su Dao naturally went in line with the principle of not letting them suffer losses, if he just came to take advantage of others, this is really a bit unreasonable, and once the 99th Army decides to procure, it must be in large quantities, enough for more than 100,000 people to use for a few weeks, or a month or two, so many goods, the price for them to be cheaper by one or two percent is also reasonable, and it will be cheaper for the people to go out to buy things, not to mention that the army purchases such a large quantity?

"As for your son, I can't guarantee if I can convince him, I can only do my best." Regarding the last question, Su Dao's answer was somewhat ordinary.

"Okay, there's no need to send someone to the finance department of your ministry, since General Su is a sincere devil, then I won't say anything more, everything else is in accordance with General Su's intentions, if General Su needs help from our Chamber of Commerce in the future, please just ask, as long as the old man and others can do it, they will never refuse." Lei Tianzheng was overjoyed in his heart, and he was very satisfied with Su Dao's answer.

He knew that Su Dao said that sending someone to the Finance Department to supervise the use of this money must be a test for a few of them, if he really sent someone to the Finance Department, then what was the point of sending this money himself? In fact, to put it bluntly, this money was given to Su Dao personally, one million Manchukuo Yuan seems to be a lot, but it is not much to let nearly 100 merchants spread it evenly, they just hope that Su Dao can keep Jinxi safe after taking the money.

That's why he directly rejected Su Dao's request for them to send someone to the finance department, and the local garrison, since ancient times, has been paid for the troops by the top and the local political axe, and now Jinxi has no political axe, and they have also discussed it, all the ninety-ninth army to buy things will be given at cost price, and if they don't make their money, it is equivalent to paying them a part of the military salary, which can be regarded as achieving the purpose of raising the army.

"President Lei, this person, you must be sent to the finance department of our department, and if you are a person who is proficient in accounting, this money is for him to do the accounting, if President Lei does not send someone, or if he sends someone to shake a shot and not do the right thing, then please ask President Lei to forgive me, this money Su does not dare to accept it." Su Dao took a step back, lowered his head, and replied forcefully.

"This ......" Lei Tianzheng was a little confused about Su Dao's intentions for a while, this person who had been in the shopping mall for decades was also confused by Su Dao at this time, and he didn't know how to answer this question for a while.

"Chairman Lei, you may not know the rules of our 99th Army, our army has always been strictly disciplined, and all the items captured by the soldiers in the battle from the enemy army, except for some trophies representing the surname that need to be handed over, the rest belong to individuals. If you know our army, you may find that there will be gendarmes in all departments of our army, and once the phenomenon of corruption is discovered, once it is verified, no matter how much the amount is, they will be immediately shot. Therefore, President Lei, let the Chamber of Commerce send someone to supervise the use of this money, because we have to be responsible to every patriot, and we can't let them not know where their money is being used. Su Dao smiled slightly and explained.

At the same time, Su Dao also believed that when the people they sent saw the huge pension bill paid by the 99th Army, they would definitely be surprised and couldn't even speak, and at the same time, these members of the Chamber of Commerce would find out that the original 1 million was not enough for the 99th Army to pay the pension for a major battle.

"Okay, since that's the case, then the old man might as well be respectful." After Lei Tianzheng heard Su Dao say this, the previous doubts disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the puzzles that he had seen outside before also disappeared together, a military discipline seems to be scattered, but it is so strict, maybe this is the reason why this army can always win big battles, right?

"Haha, since there is nothing wrong with this matter, let's do it this way, this money will come with the people sent at that time, let's talk about another thing, this time it is Su Mou's turn to ask the seniors to do something." Su Dao laughed, he had originally planned to go to the business for a talk in the afternoon, but now that the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce are here, and they have a good chat with each other, Su Dao also feels that it is better to arrange this matter as soon as possible.

"General Su asks for the general, it's still the same sentence, if the old man and the others can do it, they will never shirk half a point." Lei Tianzheng pointed at Su Dao and smiled, as if he understood what Su Dao meant.

"You may not know that some of the equipment of our department mainly comes from abroad, and the logistics supply is also more troublesome, so Su bought a batch of machinery and equipment from abroad some time ago, and now it is about to be shipped to our Jinxi, so Su wants to implore all of you seniors to help Su find some suitable factories, of course, the rent is good to discuss." Su Dao told the military industry, and if this military factory is not built for a day, Su Dao will not be able to let go of his hands to supply the troops for a day.

"The old man has a factory under him, and the business has not been good in recent years, so in order to keep those workers alive, it has not been closed, but I don't know how many factories General Su needs?" Lei Tianzheng frowned slightly, in fact, his factory business is not bad, at least it is profitable every year, but Su Dao also made it very clear that it was to establish a military factory, so Lei Tianzheng almost didn't think about it, so he decided to give up his factory.

"Naturally, the more factories the better, and there will be a large number of machinery and equipment that need to be placed." Su Dao thought about it, anyway, if the factory building is not used up, it can be used as a warehouse or something, but it will not be too wasteful. (To be continued.) )
