Chapter 64 Pro-Japanese Anhui Warlords
(Thanks to the artist Hermit!) The book finally has a cover! It's not easy! Not easy! οΌ
"Then I'll speak!" Zhao Yun thought for a while and said some of the things that were needed most at the moment, "This time, we have to cash the ocean or gold bars, of course, foreign currencies are also fine, because we need to find someone to help." β
"Is it okay to use any foreign currency?" The adjutant had stayed in the ocean and knew that there was a great difference in currency between countries.
"There are nine kinds of dollars, pounds, German marks, French francs, Swiss francs, Japanese yen, Italian lira, Canadian dollars and guilders, and I mainly ask them for help, and other countries probably don't have this strength." When the adjutant heard this, he was stunned.
Obediently Longdidong, I know people from so many countries! Although I also went to study abroad, I also knew that foreigners looked down on Chinese people, and I didn't even soak in a French girl. It is rare for Chinese people to make friends with foreigners from so many countries, and there are even fewer who are willing to sell you face when they have something.
"In terms of price? I don't think it will be less than 120,000! Zhao Yun continued to chatter!
"So expensive!" The adjutant is also called poor, and he negotiates the price with the arms dealer, which time can he say that you can make a good offer!
"It's already cheap! You're in a hurry, and the ammo is included. β
"Oh! That's fine! "At first, the adjutant thought that the ammunition was counted, and 500 shells would cost a lot of money, 280 calibers! The cannon is fast to burn money, and the well-known cannon is ten thousand taels of gold when it goes off!
Zhao Yun estimated in his heart that this cannon would definitely have to be replaced if it could not hit 200 rounds, and he would not be looking for himself at that time, so he would talk about it later! "But the money has to be paid first, and foreigners can't start work if they don't see the money." Zhao Yun is in urgent need of cash now, especially foreign exchange, and people who go to Europe have a lot of expenses, and they have to spend more money in various identities.
Of course, now is the upfront investment, and when they have obtained a certain status, they can use the power in their hands for welfare.
finally sent away the "buzzing" adjutant, but Zhao Yun lay on the bed and didn't sleep all night.
Looking at a map over and over again, this is a very simple map from the adjutant of the Zhejiang Overseer, which was drawn by the adjutant to Zhao Yun from the groom of the Overseer's Mansion, who ran through the north when he was young and walked through the ancient tea horse road in Outer Mongolia.
Now, what Zhao Yun is hesitating about is the direction, and the team to harass must be sent. And what base is planned to be established there.
But at most, for the time being, it is necessary to build a "gas station" in Siberia in the future. But where should this "gas station" be built? At present, the resistance forces opposing the independence of Outer Mongolia have been driven to the south of Outer Mongolia by the Outer Mongolian People's Party Army, and the entire northern part of Outer Mongolia is basically the sphere of influence of the Outer Mongolian People's Party Army.
If the "gas station" is built in the south, the main task is to help the resistance groups resist, and then fight back to Outer Mongolia together, but only to consume some Soviet Russians.
The main task of the north was to attack the logistics of the Soviet invasion team, and their food could be provided by Outer Mongolia, but the guns and ammunition could only be provided by Soviet Russia.
In the end, Zhao Yun thought about it all night and decided to learn the glorious tradition of the older generation, guard the logistics line to eat them, and use theirs. In this regard, Zhao Yun's so many anti-Japanese war films are not in vain, at least with some small experience.
"Woo woo" five planes came to the airport outside Hangzhou with the unique rotor sound of aircraft in this era. Lu Dujun is an old man from the Beiyang Anhui family, and he has a lot of international students, and he has long heard of foreign planes, so he also got an airport and bought some planes to decorate the faΓ§ade.
However, it is the first time since the construction of this airport that it has received so many foreign planes.
Five Handley Pedy 0/400 modified transport planes actually flew from Yixing, but they went around the open sea and flew into Zhejiang from the sky over Zhoushan.
Two Krupp cannons were dismantled into parts and transported by plane. The two cannon barrels had already been transported by a small boat in Taihu Lake, and of course they were hidden in a large log and transported to Hangzhou.
Seeing these two new cannons, Lu Dujun's doubts also dissipated. Zhao Yun also made it clear that he had just started to build, and a lot of materials needed to be prepared, so only two were built for the first time, but there were a lot of shells, and the plane would be shipped again and tomorrow.
Three days later, the two cannons were test-fired in Hangzhou Bay, and the results of the test firing were very satisfactory to Lu Dujun. With these 280-caliber cannons, the eastern coast of Zhejiang will rest easy.
At noon that day, Lu Dujun ate an extra bowl of rice.
"What about Zhao Yunren? I'm going to reward him well! "It's been a long time since Lu Dujun has been so happy.
"In Langxi, people are arranged to farm on the eastern slope of the south of the county all day long, and I don't know what they plant. Kinds of 24-hour shifts a day. The adjutant replied.
"Hmmm! I heard about this last time, and I asked people to take a look at all the things they planted, such as food, but after I sent someone to plant it, they couldn't grow anything, and it is estimated that it was also specially treated, or he would not have only made 400 pieces of farmland. You send someone to pick him up for me, let him live in Hangzhou for a while, and I will treat him well. β
"Yes!" The adjutant is upright.
Two days later, Zhao Yun was pulled out of Zhou Village in Langxi by the adjutant. His troublemaking plans on the steppes of Outer Mongolia could only be put aside for the time being.
"Dashuai, are you free? Can I see him! "Zhao Yun got a good thing from Outer Mongolia this time, a flashlight.
Not to mention the flashlight, even in the fifties and sixties, it was the only electrical appliance in many homes of Chinese people. It was also taken out by the old man. In the 20s, many families still used kerosene lamps, and very few people could use electric lights. It's a good thing but has a lot of drawbacks, but after the development of the technology of "chemistry" in the camp academy, batteries are also a product that can be manufactured. Don't underestimate this thing, this technology will be used in many places in the future, such as radio.
So this time, Zhao Yun wanted to find some new good things in the Overseer's Mansion that he could go back and copy.
At Zhao Yun's request, he was taken directly to the Overseer's Mansion, and as soon as he got out of the car, Zhao Yun found something good.
The Overseer's Guards are being lectured in a clearing in front of the door. All of them wore big caps, five-colored Beiyang military emblems pinned to their caps, wore very earthy uniforms, pinned to Zhao Yun's shell guns at their waists, leggings on their legs, and black cloth shoes on their feet. These are all normal, the problem is that they are all pushing a bike on their right side.
"Bike!" Zhao Yun didn't go with the adjutant, he walked directly to the guard, pushed one from the hand of a guard, looked at it, and rode again, similar to the old phoenix he saw when he was a child. The person who lectured on the stage wanted to curse when he saw that a mischievous person wanted to scold people, but after seeing the adjutant, he shut up again, and a group of people stood there watching Zhao Yun do things around.
After a while, Zhao Yun returned the car to the guard and walked to the adjutant next to him, "Adjutant Sun, this is your best bicycle?" β
"Yes, Boss Zhao, these are all bought by Lu Dujun from the Germans."
"How many?"
"That's all there are more than 40 cars here."
Just kidding! In the future, China will be a big bicycle country, how can I forget this stubble! Many people write novels and say that the mechanized army was developed after the crossing, but even in World War II in this era, there were few teams in China that were all bicycles as a means of transportation. Of course, the night raid team and the detective team are not counted, they were armed by the Japanese.
"I want one for this, and I'll be able to travel for me for the next few days. The next time I deliver a cannon, I'll give you one back. Zhao Yun began to make up his mind again.
"You have that too?" Adjutant Sun was surprised, could his family build anything?
"No, but you can buy it, and it's the factory price, it's definitely cheaper than you." Zhao Yun still has this confidence.
After entering, he said a lot of nonsense, and then arranged for Zhao Yun to go around Hangzhou. Looking at Hangzhou under the rule of Lu Dujun, it also means letting Zhao Yun see the strength of Lu Dujun.
Rested overnight at the Overseer's Mansion in Hangzhou, which was actually very small, and Overseer Lu usually worked in Jiaxing, near Shanghai, where he could take care of both. This time in Hangzhou was entirely for the Krupp cannon thing.
Of course, the next day, Zhao Yun didn't have a chance to go out on a bicycle, so Lu Dujun directly sent him a new Rolls-Royce. Under the protection of a large group of guards, Zhao Yun began a two-day tour of Hangzhou. And the guard I saw yesterday was behind his car.
Cars of this era have already been born with famous brands such as Rolls-Royce and Citroen.
Sitting in such a classic car, watching his travel team hugging back and forth, Zhao Yun's mood was extremely comfortable.
Cars! I didn't have a car before, but now someone has given it to me.
Sitting on the comfortable calfskin seat, Zhao Yundu was about to doze off, and a group of people arrived at the West Lake in Hangzhou.
Zhao Yun also came to Hangzhou several times in later generations, and each time he came and went in a hurry. I haven't played in West Lake, but I have held a few meetings in hotels around West Lake.
This time it's good, there is an open road in front, and there are clusters in the back, a scene of a big official going out on patrol.
The ten scenic shapes of the West Lake, the spring dawn of the Su Causeway, the wind and lotus of the Quyuan, the autumn moon of the Pinghu Lake, the remnant snow of the broken bridge, the oriole in the willow waves, the fish watching the flower port, the sunset of Leifeng, the twin peaks inserting the clouds, the evening bell of Nanping, and the moon in the three pools, none of these are left behind in Zhao Yun's plan.
Zhao Yun was full of interest, and was ready to spend two days walking through all the places, which dragged the guards behind him enough.
Zhao Yun is also a person who has mixed up in state-owned enterprises, and immediately announced that he would drink flower wine at night. The guards behind him were thunderous and went to visit the West Lake with Zhao Yun.
The surroundings of the West Lake do not seem to be as lively as in later generations, and there are few scenic spots around, only the Great Compassion Pavilion of Lingyin Temple built in the 6th year of the Republic of China, and the renovation of Yue Wang Temple and Yue Tomb several times.
However, there are many students and couples who come to the lake.
There is a very punctual person in front of him, even if he is placed in the next generation, he is also a school flower. Of course, it is at the junior high and high school levels.
A little girl under the willow tree by the lake was reading a book, staring at the student skirt of the Republic of China girl for a while, and Zhao Yun remembered that there was a group of people behind him now, and she had to pay attention to her image! But when I turned around, I saw that the guards behind me were staring in the direction that Zhao Yun had just looked!
"Uh-huh!" After coughing, the perverts came back to their senses, and the girl in the skirt also turned around and glared at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun is embarrassed now, he is not a person inside and outside! But the girls of the Republic of China are really tough! A group of big men here dare to be so fierce!
"Huh? Don't look at it, don't look at it! Suddenly, an older guard interrupted the others' gaze. Many people were upset about his behavior of disturbing the beautiful woman.
"That's Adjutant Sun's daughter!" The older guards whispered, and now all the guards looked around, and no one dared to look.
Only Zhao Yun looked at the girl again, the girl was estimated to be only 16 or 17 years old, and the adjutant was about the same as himself, how could it be his daughter?
Seeing Zhao Yun's doubts, the guard, who was about thirty years old, said, "I am Adjutant Sun's cousin, her name is Sun Jiamiao, I have seen her in her home, because Adjutant Sun was going to be sent to France to study at the age of 16, so the family gave him a marriage at the age of 14, the girl was born when he was 15 years old, and Adjutant Sun is only 31 this year." β
After listening to Zhao Yun, his jaw was about to fall to the ground, he got married at the age of 14 and gave birth to a baby at the age of 15, so strong, he was in his 20s and no longer an old man. The 31-year-old guy is almost as well maintained as himself, but his daughter is so old! The world is really crazy!
I also want my happiness, I now have a car, a house and a deposit, I want my happiness!
Zhao Yun shouted in his heart! Zhao Yun looked back at the girl again, and the girl saw that Zhao Yun was still looking at herself, and glared at Zhao Yun fiercely. Zhao Yun felt really embarrassed, and he also understood why Wang Yougui and Wang Dashao always looked at themselves like that, the times are different!
Zhao Yun turned his head in frustration and prepared to return to Hangzhou City, comforting himself in his heart, thinking about whether he would be like Xiang Shaolong!
In a hurry, Zhao Yun walked to the flower port to watch the fish, and suddenly there was a burst of chattering around him!
Zhao Yun looked for the sound and left, and it was the two tourists who were watching the fish there.
One is a tall and thin man with gold wire glasses, and the other is a short and fat man with round glasses.
The Humpty Dumpty man was asking the tall and thin man, "Buckle-Hugh-Plug-Plug-Buckle Mud... Alimasca? β
"Plug-buckle on-keye-sentao-just-keya-that shake Alimas!" The tall and thin man replied fluently.
Humpty Dumpty nodded, the tall and thin man made a gesture of please, and the two passed by Zhao Yun.
"Who are they?" Zhao Yun saw that the entourage behind them was no less than the one behind him, and it was estimated that they were also big shots, so he immediately asked the escorts around him.
"The fat one doesn't know, but the thin one is the translator from our Overseer's House!" It was the relatives of Adjutant Sun who came up and replied just now.
"Oh!" Zhao Yun nodded and looked at the two thoughtfully. They were also looking at the flowers, and it was not far away, Zhao Yun immediately stepped forward and walked a few steps and stopped the tall and thin man, "This brother, may I ask where you just spoke in which dialect?" β
"Three yards of Keyaku?" The thin and tall man didn't answer Zhao Yun, but said something he didn't understand, but not to Zhao Yun, but to the guards of the Overseer's Mansion behind Zhao Yun.
"Speak human words!" Zhao Yun was displeased, and dared to underestimate Uncle Ben.
The tall and thin man also realized that what he said was wrong, and immediately said, "A guest?" However, he still didn't say anything to Zhao Yun, and he was still asking about the guards of the Overseer's Mansion.
After receiving an affirmative reply, he bowed to Zhao Yun and apologized, and said, "I, Yuan Yang, am the translator of the Overseer's Mansion!" β
"Oh, it's Yuan Translator! Disrespectful, disrespectful! I'd like to ask, what dialect did you just speak? I didn't understand a word? Zhao Yun already had a little bottom in his heart, but he still wanted to verify it.
"It's Japanese! Just now he asked, what are the scenery of Hangzhou West Lake? I replied that there are ten views of West Lake and ten views of Qiantang. The last thing I say to the guards is what the guests mean! This guy is also a slippery head, and immediately repeated everything he just said, and in order to avoid Zhao Yun's misunderstanding, he also translated the last sentence.
"So, that is the Japanese official?" Zhao Yun smiled tentatively.
"Hehe, the little one can't say." Yuan Translator was stunned, but did not answer Zhao Yun's topic.
"Don't worry, I'm an arms dealer from your Overseer, I just want to know if he's my colleague. You know, peers are enemies! Zhao Yun took advantage of introducing himself, grabbed the translator's hand, and stuffed a large bill while shaking hands.
Sure enough, being rich is different, the other party's face didn't change, so he accepted it, and said, "Oh, you are Boss Zhao, the little one who has admired his name for a long time!" This is a military attache of the Japanese Consulate in China, not a Japanese arms dealer. β
"Hehe, thank you Yuan for translating..."
Zhao Yun still wanted to talk, the fat man was already waving to this side, shouting "Yuan Sang, Yuan Sang!" β
"Oh, Boss Zhao, the little one went first. I will definitely visit you next time I have the chance. The tall and thin man said hello and immediately rushed to the fat man.
"Well, Yuan Yi will go slowly, next time we must talk in detail!" Zhao Yun also replied with a smile.
Wait until they are all far away, and then turn back to the city. Zhao Yun has been thinking all the way, "What is the matter with Lu Dujun that there are Japanese?" Could it be that he is pro-Japanese? This water is so muddy! β
