Chapter 967: German Munitions
Hankow. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On the dark river, the ships were like shuttles, and during the day, the Japanese planes visited the airfield, and our ships were destroyed by bombed ships from time to time, so many cargo ships went out at night.
Although it is more dangerous to sail at night than during the day, it is better than being bombed.
Some large cargo ships, taking some familiar waterways, the risk can still be controlled, so, at night, a searchlight on the river sweeps over, you can see thousands of ships sailing, spectacular.
After the Nanjing government moved westward to Chongqing, Wuhan almost became the second capital, and some shipping companies with the government also moved westward to Wuhan, Chongqing and other places.
At this time, a large number of people and materials withdrew westward, and the capacity of the steamers was insufficient, and fishing boats and wooden sailing boats along the coast also joined in.
Shipping and trading are almost the most profitable businesses at the moment.
Dadong Shipping is not conspicuous, there was no big movement at the beginning of its establishment, and the manager is also very young, in just ten months, it actually has fifteen or sixteen large and small ships, including a passenger ship dedicated to carrying passengers.
Where there are interests, there are fights, seeing that Dadong Shipping Company is operating well, and there are even some rich customers, some people want to make bad ideas.
There are many people who want to eat Dadong, but in the end, Dadong is doing well, and those who have illegal intentions are all loaded.
Some disappeared without explanation, and some did not dare to make any more moves.
At this time, Zhao Ziliang's people naturally saw that there were people behind Dadong Company, and there was strong energy, and such a small shipping company could take root in Wuhan, which was not something that ordinary people could do.
The general manager of Dadong Company is none other than Nie Mingyu.
At the beginning, the Luo and Nie families decided to go south with Leng Feng, the Luo family first went to Yunnan to make a front station for the Invalids Company's lair, and the Nie family stayed in Wuhan to find something to do first, one internally and one externally.
The Invalids Company has not yet fully surfaced, and it has to operate slowly.
In this way, the Luo and Nie families are completely tied to the battleship of the First Division of Honor and Leng Feng.
It's a big gamble.
With the shipping company as a cover, there are many things that Wu Xiaoyun can't come forward, so he can let the shipping company come forward, and if the shipping company is in trouble, Wu Xiaoyun will also secretly help solve it, and those black hands that secretly want to stretch out to Dadong Company are all cut off by Wu Xiaoyun.
Otherwise, Dadong is such a small company, without a strong relationship, and would have been eaten clean by other shipping companies such as robbers.
Nie Xiaohui's management ability is still very strong, but if she doesn't have a strong escort, she can't survive as a weak woman at all, even if Dadong Shipping is ostensibly Nie Mingyu in charge.
Of course, the honorary first division in Wuhan is not only Dadong Shipping.
With Leng Feng's forward-looking vision, you only need to dial it a little bit and lay out in advance, and you will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the future, and these industrial layouts are all for the future.
Acquire some factories, those who can turn losses into profits, first self-sufficient, and those who cannot, directly pack and ship away.
The work done by Nie Xiaohui is also to lay the foundation for the construction of the base, and if there is a place, there must be an industry, otherwise, it is still an empty word.
Dadong Hotel is one of the properties of the Nie family and the Invalids Company, and the brothers and sisters of the Nie family live here.
"Uncle Liu, I'll go out and prepare the car!" After answering a phone call, Nie Xiaohui came down from upstairs dressed neatly and instructed the housekeeper Liu Yangdao.
"Miss, it's so late, it's so messy outside, do you want to inform Miss Wu?"
"No need, I'm not far from where I've been, I'll be back in a moment."
"Okay."
A white car stopped at the back door of the Dadong Hotel, after Nie Xiaohui got into the car, the driver started, and the car turned a corner at the intersection and disappeared.
"Uncle Liu, is my little sister going out so late?" Nie Mingyu came out in a nightgown.
"Miss go out on some errands, and I'll be back in a moment."
"Did you send someone to follow?"
"Wait for the opportunity, Ah Cheng and Xiao Hai follow." Liu Yang replied.
"Oh." Nie Mingyu nodded.
On the ground in Hankou, after the Hankou Garrison Command has rectified public order over the past month, the security aspect is much better than that of Wuchang County on the other side.
If this traitor falls into the hands of the Hankou Police Department, he may still be able to live, but if he falls into the hands of the detective team of the Inspectorate of the Hankou Garrison Headquarters, he will be shed if he does not die.
If this is verified to be a Japanese spy, he will never be seen again.
The local gangs, the head snakes, at the beginning, there were still people who did not believe in evil, and the result was one. In the middle of the night, the gang was razed to the ground, and all the gang leaders and people with human lives on their hands were sentenced to death.
In the past month, although a large number of refugees have poured in from Hankow, the public order situation has been surprisingly good, and the common people would rather go to the Hankow Garrison Headquarters than the police station if they have any problems.
This was a month ago, when a young girl was really afraid to go out alone at night, but now, at least in some major sections, there are army and police patrols, and there is no problem with safety.
"Beautiful Miss Nie, we meet again?"
"Hello, Mr. Hans." Nie Xiaohui smiled indifferently, she was fluent in German, and she was the German translator of the honorary first division of this secret meeting.
"Okay, everyone is here, can we talk?" A cold voice rang out.
"Colonel Wu, I hope you can make some concessions on the price, if we pay for the transportation of these weapons, then we will not have any profit." Hans went straight to the point and said, "As you know, our German Empire and Japan are now allies, and it will be very troublesome if they find out that we are buying weapons for you. ”
"Are you Germans afraid of the Japanese too?"
"No, no, we are not afraid of anyone, but as allies, we must keep our promises, this is the rule."
"Don't talk to me about the rules, the price we give is already very generous, even if you bear the freight, you will earn a lot, not to mention, Mr. Hans has also made a lot?"
"Well, if you're willing to raise ten percent, this time we did the deal, if you don't, then forget it." Hansdau.
"No, it can only be the current price!" Wu Xiaoyun cut the railway.
"Wu, aren't you in business?" Hans said abruptly.
"For the same price, we can buy twice as many weapons and ammunition from Soviet Russia as yours, and they have promised to transfer our equipment for the production of bullets." Wu Xiaoyun said indifferently.
"I know that your government has received a large amount of aid from Soviet Russia, but this is your government's behavior, and if you want to buy weapons from Soviet Russia, you must go through your government, otherwise, you will be suspected of colluding with the Communist Party......" The corners of Hans's mouth turned up slightly.
As a German arms dealer who has been in China for many years, he already knows the situation in China very well, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.
"So what, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have already cooperated to resist Japan."
"But your Chairman Chiang may not like Red Soviet Russia, he just doesn't have a choice." Hansdau.
"We don't have a choice, if you don't sell it, we can only look for Soviet Russia, they are also short of money now, I spend money on their weapons, it's better than them giving them away, what do you say?"
"Well, I agreed to this price, but I can only promise to give you a brigade of equipment, as for the artillery you need, I can't promise you." Hans thought about it seriously, he was an arms dealer, and he naturally knew the situation at home, and perhaps it would not be long before Germany would completely sever diplomatic relations with China.
At that time, it will be impossible for him to sell arms to the Chinese.
"Mr. Hans, if we can, we would like to buy some of your obsolete rifle and bullet production lines, and we can negotiate the price."
"You're going to build an arsenal?" Hans was slightly startled.
"Sort of."
"Okay, I can help you ask, but it won't work out." Hans thought for a moment and nodded, he was very selective about his partners.
Although Xin Yijun is his new customer, this customer is very committed to other aspects in addition to high quality requirements and price.
"According to the custom, we will pay 30% of the price first, and the remaining 70% will be paid after your goods are fully delivered?"
"Yes!"
"Happy cooperation, if Mr. Hans has anything, you can contact this Miss Nie directly, she is my agent, and I don't want the cooperation between you and me to be known by the fourth person."
"Understand, we Germans are the best at keeping secrets." Hans assured.
"I hope so." Wu Xiaoyun left with Nie Xiaohui.
Survey and Statistics Bureau of the Second Department of the Military Commission.
"Boss Dai, the witch met with the German arms dealer Hans in the No. 2 box of the Kyushu Hotel tonight, and the sister of the manager of the Dadong Shipping Company passed through......"
"I see, don't tell anyone about this, tell the brothers below, and keep your mouth shut, understand?" Dai Yunong solemnly commanded.
"Yes, but Boss Dai, doesn't this matter need to be reported to the chairman?"
"The Headmaster will know, it's not something you have to worry about." Dai Yunong said, "By the way, Qi Wu, what is Shen Shuyi's attitude towards going to the New First Army?" ”
"He doesn't have any opinions, but Deputy Director Yu doesn't seem to be very happy." Mao Qiwu said that Shen Shuyi had returned, and he also escorted back Ryosuke Isoya and some important officers of the captured Japanese 10th Division.
This is a great achievement, Lao Jiang was very happy when he heard this, and he was very satisfied with the actions of the military commander this time, especially Shen Shuyi, who was recommended by Dai Yunong to go to the New First Army, basically agreed.
"Deputy Director Yu, I will tell him personally, as long as this kid Shuyi is willing to go." Dai Yunong nodded.
"Yes."
"Dadong Shipping Company, you have to pay more attention." Dai Yunong commanded, "That's it, you go." ”
It was not uncommon for the New First Army to privately contact the Germans and buy arms, and the government could not buy German weapons through official channels.
If the new army privately buys weapons from the Germans, it will still be equipped with the Chinese themselves, and the weapons will also be used to fight devils.
Dai Yunong is happy to see such a good thing come true, even if it is reported to the principal, the principal will only add a little jealousy, and will never order to stop it.
It is basically impossible to buy weapons from Germany on a large scale, and the number of weapons that the new army can buy will not be too much, since there is not much of it, why should he be that villain?
Besides, he also wants to get a batch of German-made weapons and equipment, and if the deal for this weapon is negotiated, he may also be able to gain some benefits from it.
