What appeared in front of Wu Ming was boxes of neatly stacked munitions, the most conspicuous of which was the parts of the Suomi submachine gun.

This kind of submachine gun was sent more than 2,000 pieces last time Lu Jingshi brought people here, and all of them were placed in the arms warehouse under the Phoenix Mountain base that was almost hollowed out of the belly of the mountain. ”

Wan Molin explained: "The last time the goods were purchased from the Danish Chamber of Commerce, our boss heard that Master Wu liked this submachine gun very much, so he asked the Danes, only to learn that this submachine gun was made by the Finns. However, due to its high price, even the Finnish army itself rarely procures, resulting in the Leidi Arms Company, which produces this weapon, on the verge of bankruptcy, with a large number of Suomi submachine guns in stock"

"The price of buying arms directly is too expensive, and our boss has an extraordinary mind, and immediately sent someone to inquire about the specific operation of the Leidi Arms Company. Previously, the Suomi submachine gun had experienced the baptism of local wars in South America, Bolivia and Paraguay, and also participated in the Spanish Civil War last year, but its performance was not impressive, and the shares of the Leidy Arms Company plummeted, and it only took less than $200,000 to complete the holding. ”

"In this case, our boss Yu Crisp spent money to buy all the shares of the Leidi Arms Company on the market, quickly realized the control of the company, and then sent someone to transport the arms from the warehouse of the Tikakoski Arsenal under the company back to China. This batch of Suomi submachine guns is a total of 5,462 units, and the supporting bullet production line has been shipped to Shanghai, and it is expected to be delivered to Maoliangwu in a week."

Wu Ming was overjoyed, looking at the gun parts in the wooden box that exuded a gray metallic luster, he couldn't help but step forward, quickly assembled after squatting, and installed seventy rounds of drums at the back, and a strangely shaped submachine gun was formed. Wu Ming stood up and took it in his hand and tried it, the submachine gun weighed about eight or nine catties, and the total length was about eight hundred millimeters, which was very handy. As soon as Wu Ming pulled the safe, there was a "creak", and the gun made a crisp sound

Zhang Dongning was even more surprised than Wu Ming when he saw this batch of weapons, after all, the War of Resistance was imminent, if there were so many Suomi submachine guns of good quality and firepower not much inferior to machine guns to help, supplemented by the skills of the officers and men of the New Second Division, and strafing at the attacking or defending Japanese troops, they would definitely be able to beat the little devils crying wolf.

Wu Ming forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, put down the submachine gun in his hand, and said to the people around him: "This gun has a perfect ammunition feeding system, high reliability, and can maintain an extremely high accuracy rate within 300 meters, compared to the range of other submachine guns of 50 meters, it can be said that it is all-encompassing." The only headache is that it won't take long for seventy rounds of ammunition to be used up in one drum, and the logistics will be a headache."

"yes"

Zhang Dongning said with regret: "We can't afford the huge consumption of ammunition, so we can only equip the troops in small batches." I think it is difficult for a platoon to be equipped with one, and the others can only be equipped with a small group of elite troops for the time being."

Wu Ming asked quietly: "Brother Mo Lin, how do you count this batch of arms?" ”

Wan Molin patted the wooden box and said to Wu Ming with a smile: "Senior Commander Wu, our boss said that this batch of firearms and the subsequent bullet production line were given to the new second senior brother by us, please accept it with a smile." ”

"This ...... This gift is too expensive, isn't it? ”

Wu Ming was a little puzzled, with Du Yuesheng's position in Shanghai to call for wind and rain, there was no need to send things to confront him

When he was in Shanghai, although Wu Ming helped the Qing Gang drive the Japanese out of Zhabei, he also received Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong's 2.5 million ocean benefit fees, and everyone owed each other, and then helped the Qing Gang train the "Tsing Yi Team", which also belonged to the scope of the transaction, why is Du Yuesheng so generous now, and sent so many arms?

Wan Molin smiled: "In addition to the Suomi submachine gun, our boss also entrusted the United States to pick up a batch of good goods from the US troops stationed in Tianjin and Shanghai, and the follow-up will be sent to the boss one after another, saying that Master Wu is sincere in resisting Japan, and this batch of arms is a little bit of our Youth Gang brothers."

After speaking, Wan Molin took a list of munitions from his entourage, stretched out his hands and handed it to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming picked up the list and looked at it, his heart beating violently.

In addition to more than 5,000 Suomi submachine guns, the weapons sent by the Green Gang included 3,000 Nl Garand rifles, 500 Thomson 19IA submachine guns, 200 Browning Nl918AI light machine guns, 50 Browning HH large-caliber heavy machine guns, 100 NlUU3 sniper rifles equipped with optical instruments, about 50,000 NAPK11 grenades, and 80 flamethrowers.

Wu Ming handed the list to Zhang Dongning, pondered slightly, and asked with some surprise: "Brother Mo Lin, why have you emptied all the armories of the US troops stationed in Tianjin and Shanghai?" Could it be a problem? ”

Wan Molin shook his head: "The United States is seriously isolated, neither the people nor the army want to fight, and these arms shipped to China are not used at all." As long as China and Japan go to war, the United States will inevitably drastically reduce its troops stationed in China, and these weapons will not be able to be taken away at all. Instead of cheapening the Japanese, let's buy them and support the war of resistance."

"Don't worry, the Americans have a master of accounting, and when the time comes, all the materials will be marked as normal wear and tear, or some natural and man-made disasters and other accidents that cause loss, everyone has something to make money, no one will break it, and it is estimated that there will be arms sent next."

Wu Ming was full of suspicions, these weapons were exactly what Wu Ming's new Second Division urgently needed, and he didn't want to push them out at all. However, although Du Yuesheng puts righteousness first everywhere, after all, he is the food and clothing parents of hundreds of thousands of young gangs in Shanghai, and it is impossible to waste the money in vain and buy weapons for no reason to send them to himself.

Wu Ming said quietly: "Brother Du is anxious for justice and righteousness, and he can be called a model for my generation. Brother Merlin, does Brother Du have any explanation? ”

Wan Molin's face was grim, and he hugged his fists and saluted Wu Ming: "Our boss only wants a promise from Master Wu."

Wu Ming waved his hand, and his face became serious: "Please also ask Brother Mo Lin to make it clear, as long as Wu can do it, please just speak." ”

Wan Molin sighed, and then said: "In the past month, the Japanese marines in Hongkou and Yangshupu have been frequently mobilized, and the Japanese expatriates in the public concessions have wantonly provoked, and five Chinese-funded factories and more than 10 Chinese-funded shops have been burned down, and the ships of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet have continuously knocked over our civilian ships on the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River. The boss hopes that in the future, if possible, Master Wu can lend a hand, and if Songhu falls, our boss can also come to western Zhejiang to take refuge for a while. ”

Wu Ming nodded with relief, he didn't expect Du Yuesheng to be so alert to the Japanese, it seems that his success is not accidental, and he can judge the future trend of the situation from the clues.

Wu Ming said: "With Brother Du's reputation, it's too late for us to welcome it, so let's do it, I'm preparing to build a new residential community at the foot of Guxi Mountain in the south of Maoliangwu, and when the time comes, I will leave a few villas for Brother Du and Brother Mo Lin as temporary residences, what do you think?" ”

Wan Molin was very moved in his heart, but he still made more requests: "Our boss didn't come to western Zhejiang alone, he wanted to bring some brothers over, but he ......"

Speaking of this, Wan Molin couldn't say any more.

After several years of operation, Mao Liangwu has already been run by Wu Ming, if Du Yuesheng brings someone to come, whether Wu Ming will think that the Qing Gang is coming to seize the territory, no one can say. Moreover, the disciples of the Green Gang came from complex sources, and most of them were roosters and dogs, and Wan Molin was afraid that Wu Ming would turn them away.

Wu Ming was very direct: "Brother Du can bring a large group of people over, naturally it is great, but there is one point, Brother Mo Lin must truthfully tell Brother Du, but if the Qing Gang brothers come to Maoliangwu, they must be incorporated into the militia group and receive formal military training with our brothers, otherwise pulling out the Lu will not only not help, but will pull them back."

"That's nature"

Wan Molin agreed, not thinking that this request was too much at all.

Wu Ming also has his own considerations, the disciples of the Green Gang are so brave and ruthless, and if they are allowed to wander around Maoliangwu, they will definitely disturb the people and harm the people, but if they are incorporated into the Maoliangwu militia group, then they will be bound by military regulations and military discipline, and if they commit crimes, they will naturally be dealt with by military law. At that time, they will be given strict training, and they may be able to perform well on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.

Wan Molin was very grateful: "Xie Lu Xie Master Wu, I will definitely tell the boss your words truthfully, and I believe that the boss will never forget the deep friendship of Master Wu."

Wu Ming shook his head and said magnificently: "Brother Mo Lin is polite, can you still believe Brother Du's personality Wu?" If Brother Du can come to Mao Liangwu, Wu will definitely entertain him well and make him feel at home. By the way, Brother Merlin, since Brother Du has acquired the Finnish Leidi Arms Company, in addition to the bullet production line, have you invited some weapons research experts and skilled technicians to come back? ”

"Mr. Leddy, the founder and weapons designer of the Leidy Arms Company, is reluctant to leave his home country, but there are people at the Tikakoski Arsenal under the name of the arms company who can't stand the poverty and want to change the environment. If we can make a big profit, maybe we can hire some talent. ”

Wu Ming said with a smile: "What can be solved with money is not a problem, please Mr. Du help contact me, I am willing to pay a high salary to hire weapons research experts and skilled technicians from the Tikakosky Arsenal to come to China, if possible, they had better bring a complete Suomi submachine gun production line, and then we can produce it ourselves." ”

"I'll report to the boss when I go back, and I think people and machines will be there by mid-August at the latest."

Wan Molin didn't think there was any problem, anyway, now that the boss of the Leddy Arms Company has been replaced, what do you want to do is not Mr. Du's words?

Wu Ming advised: "When you come back, it is best to choose American and German freighters, and the target port is not Shanghai, but Ningbo Port."

Wan Molin's eyes widened: "What do you mean ......?"

Wu Ming nodded heavily: "It is estimated that Shanghai will already be at war by then, and we can't take this risk."

Wan Molin's face turned pale, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid the factories and enterprises in Shanghai will have to be relocated ahead of schedule."

Wu Ming simply came back with some fierce information: "Brother Mo Lin, I estimate that there will be beacon smoke in North China in the first half of next month, and there will be war in Songhu in August, and the central government will definitely organize the relocation of factories and enterprises in Shanghai at that time, I would like to ask you and Mr. Du to do more propaganda to those national capitalists, so that they can relocate factories and enterprises to western Zhejiang as much as possible."

"In addition, help me call more skilled workers, if those companies want to deal with machinery and equipment, please also help us order, we have a fleet to transport to the west of Zhejiang, and then choose a place to install when you can't wait, the Japanese iron hooves may set foot in Shanghai at any time, we must race against time, otherwise it will only be cheaper for the Japanese"

Wan Molin didn't say a word and immediately agreed.

Anyway, in addition to the Yangtze River and the seaside, you can move anywhere, from what he has learned, now Maoliangwu and the surrounding areas have good infrastructure construction, hydropower stations and thermal power stations are readily available, I heard that in order to meet the demand for electricity, Wu Ming is also preparing to build two thermal power stations, so that the electricity demand of the factory can be fully met.

If there are many factories and enterprises in Maoliangwu and the surrounding areas, Wu Ming's strength will expand rapidly, and the safety of Maoliangwu will be more guaranteed.

The Japanese attack is imminent, if there is such a safe haven as Maoliangwu, it will naturally be better for the Qinggang who are now in turmoil.
