After some discussion, Zuo Boyang made a detailed analysis of the countries that participated in World War II at that time listed by Dong Ku, based on the reference of the strength of these countries provided by Dong Ku, the weapons and purchasing power of Dancun, and finalized the order of these countries. Of course, the premise is to have a dinner, so that everyone knows that Dong Ku is busy and comes to give benefits.

The night was very calm, in Heilongjiang, the wind in Mongolia is getting stronger, and Mongolia has snowed the night, and it is safe to live.

The bearded man is really the same as Dong Ku guessed, there is absolutely no big move, he knows the snow too well, he will not make any moves in this season, and the defense line is very stable.

As soon as the morning dawned, Dong Ku finished washing, took No. 5 and Zuo Boyang into the concession in a classic car, and checked into the Longxiang branch of the concession. At the same time, the bigwigs of the concession were informed, and at noon, a luncheon was held in Longxiang, inviting consuls, ambassadors, and generals from various countries to attend. Of course, those businessmen are no exception, and they are all handled by Zuo Boyang himself, making phone calls, sending invitation letters, and not leaking.

The arms trade called Shang Shang Jia is nothing more than Zuo Boyang jokingly said last night that these guys must have gotten a lot of good things recently, and they took this opportunity to collect them.

Dong Ku has always been committed to collecting cultural relics that were plundered by various means by foreign powers, especially those of the Eight-Nation Alliance. In the task he arranged for Du Fei and Guo Weiquan, there was a collection of these aspects, according to the information of some cultural relics in his memory of later generations, such as the owner of the bronze head of the Chinese zodiac, he found them one by one, and did not hesitate to get them back and destroy the holders.

Dong Ku is not narrow-minded, if these people don't die, these cultural relics of his will not be able to see the light, at least until they have absolute strength, they will not be able to see the light.

Sure enough, the invitations were everywhere, and the chickens flew and the dogs jumped. Those who are waiting for further negotiations and cooperation have already reaped some of the benefits of penicillin and some medicines, and are waiting for Dong Ku, a busy man who is busy fighting with Japan and Russia, to further expand the amount. Deepen engagement. When they were busy fighting in Dong Ku, they collected a lot of good things, and they all knew Dong Ku and Zuo Boyang, as well as his hobbies of reporting reports that barely spoke, fine wine, and good tea. Cultural relics and ink treasures have been prepared with fine products, and some people even buy them from China or other countries and stolen them to use as bargaining chips to deepen their feelings.

Receiving gifts, there is no need to list the meals, which is destined to be very lively and fruitful. Of course, the happiest person is not Dong Ku, but Liu Ruji. Because, she not only met Dong Ku, but also received a considerable amount of fine wine and high-grade tea. There is no shortage of domestic and foreign tribute wine and imperial wine, and there is no shortage of famous tea, all of which have become reserves in her warehouse.

After three rounds of drinking, Dong Ku stood up with a glass of Yanwo Island and raised a glass to make a gesture, and the topic directly talked about the purpose of this visit.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Dong has two things to do when he comes to Shanghai this time. The first thing is to thank you for your help to the advance force in Shanghai during this period. ”

"It should. General Dong, you're welcome. ”

Henry, as the leader, hypocritically raised his glass and did not continue, waiting for Dong Ku's second thing.

All of them knew that this money-greedy guy was destined to have something, otherwise he would not have rushed to Shanghai in the war with Soviet Russia.

Dong Ku smiled and returned the salute. He continued: "You should have heard that I am defending against foreign enemies, but I have come back with a mandate. ”

Seeing that everyone was listening intently, he continued, "ARMS and I have been doing business for a long time. As a result, I was fortunate to come into contact with the scientific research company of the Heart of Science and Technology, and I came back to visit you this time, but in fact, I also shouldered the entrustment of the two companies, and asked Dong to act as an intermediary to discuss the purchase of weapons with you. ”

Oh......

Dong Ku's words fell, and the people at more than a dozen tables in the entire dining hall on the third floor let out a low shout.

After Dong Ku left Shanghai, they used various means to inquire and search, but there was no clue, as if it did not exist, so they took a look at the mystery and confidentiality work of these two companies, especially the research base, and wanted to know about it. But today, Dong Ku said that he was entrusted by the two families to negotiate the purchase of weapons, can they not be excited and surprised?

Dong Ku was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, knowing that they were thirsty for knowledge, and their determination to dominate was not ordinarily small, he raised his glass again and said: "In the next few days, I will discuss with everyone who is interested one by one, and sell you what you need within the scope of authorization." I hope we have a happy cooperation, but there is one point, I am just a middleman, regardless of the price, I will hold the two with one hand, and you don't have to pay Dong. ”

"Ha Lu Ha!"

Dong Ku's words made the hall burst into laughter, and the atmosphere reached its peak in an instant, and everyone stood up, toasted across the table, and wished the meeting a happy one.

As they drank, the minds of those who had been thinking about the weapons for a long time began to work, and they began to figure out what they could buy. But there is one thing they all know, Dong Ku is just a middleman, regardless of the price, and it seems that the price should be set, that is to say, it is a fixed price, and it is a shelf of whether to buy or not.

During the banquet, everyone showed their means individually, intending to deepen their relationship with Dong Ku, hoping to obtain something exclusive to strengthen themselves. They have all received orders from the base camp for a long time, and they will never let go of what they can buy.

Dong Ku didn't talk about this topic anymore, but turned to the wind and snow, and kept his mouth shut about business, so that the atmosphere of the banquet was warm, but there were no substantive problems.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet ended successfully, and Dong Ku sent away to the banquet, but none were left.

Although the bigwigs of these countries are anxious to contact Dong Ku, they also know that it is impossible for Dong Ku to call everyone together to discuss, so what secrets do the countries have? Dong Ku designated that he would summon him alone, and then go back to prepare gifts.

It's not that they know how polite they are, but Dong Ku's words that he doesn't have to pay him are pointing at them, and they don't have a penny to make up, so they must always give some compensation, so as to calm down Dong Ku's long journey and let go of the hard and depressed mood of the battle.

Dong Ku waited for everyone to leave, took a short rest, and sat down with Liu Ruji for a while, estimating that those guys should go back, and let Zuo Boyang start to call according to the list.

The first to receive the call was Captain William Lower Turner, Canada's military chief in Shanghai, a country that was not well-known in World War II, but also contributed to the death of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Canada had only 4,500 soldiers in World War II, and its weapons were still outdated, so there was nothing to handle. But the productivity is amazing, so Dong Ku preferred his home.

And William Lower Turner did not officially establish diplomatic relations with China, but was purely invited by the British Major General Smolley, and as for the purpose, there is no way to verify. It's not about Dong Ku's business.

William Lower Turner had just returned to his residence, and he received a phone call unexpectedly, hesitated slightly, and quickly prepared gifts, two exquisite jade Buddha statues, packed gift boxes, and dared to forget the Longxiang Hotel.

William Lower Turner saw Dong Ku, who was only two sides of the relationship, in Dong Ku's personal room, and politely handed over a second gift, a two-pound bag of tea leaves, and two large bottles of Canadian imperial wine. There are also two jade Buddhas bought in the hands of other people, which can be described as a comprehensive ceremony.

"Captain William, you're so polite, what's so embarrassing."

Dong Ku hypocritically pushed, but reached out to take the gift and handed it to Zuo Boyang.

"Ha Luha, it's a little meaning, don't dislike it."

William Turner knew this, and slandered Dong Ku, a money fan. While speaking politely in English.

"General William."

Dong Ku didn't draw any more ghost talismans, and said bluntly: "Please come here to be the first to ask if you are interested in buying weapons here?" ”

See getting down to business. William sat down and said solemnly: "General Dong, we lack individual weapons, I wonder if we can ......?"

"No, no, no......"

Dong Ku said after William had stated his intentions: "General William, I don't think the main problem is the point of individual weapons, you see. Your country now has less than 10,000 soldiers, and if there is a war, it will be very passive, you are peace-loving, but you will not necessarily be invaded, so. I think we should improve the overall combat effectiveness, don't you think? ”

"That's right."

William was sitting precariously, surprised in his heart, but also wanted to know the real purpose of Dong Ku, why he came to himself, or the first.

"General William, I can provide you with ready-made individual weapons, but that will not help your own development, and it will cost too much national strength, after all, I don't think it's cost-effective to buy finished products, of course, I'm just an intermediary, I will convey your needs, just out of friendship, to give you some pertinent advice."

"Tell me about it."

William leaned forward and said with interest.

"You see, your country is not densely populated, so popular weapons will not increase your strength, the most important thing is that you do not process this piece yourself, it is difficult for your military industry to have a healthy development, if you produce your own weapons, it will drive the relevant industrial chain, not to mention, for the future weapons research also has a foundation?"

"You mean to develop the cutting-edge and take the elite route?"

William's body leaned forward again. His heart was already happy. Listening to Dong Ku, he meant that he had the idea of selling him good things.

"Yes, not entirely."

Dong Ku waited for Yan'er to put down the coffee and said affirmatively, "Individual weapons can be sold to your country's fully automatic AK submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles, which will be sold to your country's drawings and production rights." ”

"Too ...... Okay......"

William Lower Turner was a little incoherent. He knew the weapons of the advance army of the Dao Dao, which was an advanced individual weapon that they could hardly match, and it should be the most advanced in the world world at present.

Of course, Dong Ku knew about the situation in Canada, he didn't care about William's reaction, and continued: "Your country's production technology and technical strength are not weak, and I believe that these weapons, including airplanes and tanks, will be available in half a year and will be produced on an assembly line. ”

"Airplanes, tanks, ......"

William clearly didn't think about it, it seemed a bit big.

It is important to know that they produced a lot of tanks and airplanes in World War II, including 1,032 "Mosquito" fighter-bombers, 676 "Blenheim" bombers, 430 Lancaster heavy bombers, 3,657 Avro "Anson" coastal reconnaissance planes, 3,985 T-6 training planes, 6,308 PT-19 trainers and their various modifications.

A total of nearly 6,000 tanks were produced in World War II, the first of which was the British Van Luntai tank, a total of 1,420 were produced, and most of them were supplied to the Soviet Union. The Ram tank was developed in 1941 by the Montreal Locomotive Company of Canada, and by 1943, when Canada decided to equip the Sherman, it was discontinued, and a total of 1,948 units were produced.

Other weapons included 2,150 Shexton self-propelled guns, 10,552 artillery pieces, 251,925 machine guns, 1.7 million small arms, 815,729 military vehicles (second only to the United States and more than the entire Axis countries combined), and 3,742,100 tons (about the same total tonnage as Japan). But mostly frigates and transports). In terms of resources, Canada supplies more than 100 million tons of coal, 8.4 million tons of oil, and 40 percent of the aluminium and 95 percent of the nickel of the allies.

Although Canada is not famous in World War II, it is one of the countries that received a lot of benefits, and it can be said that it is a lot of money.

Tungku's intention is very simple: to let Canada continue to play the role of producer. Help Britain and the United States to fight against Lao Xi, balance the existing gap between Lao Xi and Britain and the United States, and exchange quantity for quality. And he, the current factory has not yet been fully perfected, and the most important thing is that many are in the colony country, and he dare not be too ostentatious. In the early stage, he was not suitable for selling weapons directly, but in the later period, the war broke out completely. When no one in the colonies cared about it, his factories had the opportunity to send large quantities of weapons out of the country without the attention of the foreign powers.

Dong Ku knew that William could not call the shots, but if someone provided him with skills and some raw materials, he believed that the Liberal Prime Minister would gladly accept him as a partner.

"General William, I think it may not be clear to me that the intention of the arms company to inquire about your country is to cooperate. It's not just about selling weapons to your country, there's tanks here. Self-propelled artillery, trucks, warships, airplanes, guns and a range of all-round weapons, some of which are also available from the weapons company. to produce these. ”

"This ...... So how do weapons companies work together? ”

Looking at William, who had received the impact, Dong Ku knew that he was almost flickering, and it was time to measure the hole cards.

"The meaning of the arms company is that the profit is divided into four or six parts, and the company needs to buy the technology and the materials need to be paid for. No longer within the cooperation. ”

"Four-six?"

William is not an expert negotiator, so naturally he doesn't know how to fight for interests, he only understands it openly, and gathers information to ask for instructions. This matter is a bit big, so he is still confused, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

"Yes, four or six points. Your country invests material and manpower, taking the lion's share, taking six, and the arms company taking four. ”

Dong Ku's affirmative answer made William feel at ease, he knew that there was nothing to talk about, he needed to ask for instructions, and he needed instructions from home. But at the same time, he understands more that if this cooperation is completed, he will no longer be a captain, and fame and fortune will be gained.

"General Dong, can I ask, are planes and tanks new technologies, new products, or not?"

In the face of William's question, Dong Ku already knew that he would ask, so he smiled and said: "You can see the samples of weapons now, as for tanks and planes, tanks are more advanced than the tanks of various countries at present, and the aircraft is our advance army has completed the experiment and passed the inspection, and it has defeated the helicopter of the Soviet Russian Air Force, and it is also the only helicopter in the world." ”

"Helicopters?"

William Turner was stunned. There really isn't a helicopter at the moment, and the name sounds like he's heard.

"General William, I will send someone to take you to the airport in a moment, personally watch the helicopter and see the individual weapons, as for the tanks, these are not finished here, but I think, not to mention the reputation of my advance army, the weapons company alone will not be fooled, General William does not need to doubt this."

"Ha Lu Ha! I don't mean that, how can I doubt the truth of things, as you said, your reputation alone can't go wrong. ”

Dong Ku ignored William's politeness and said: "By the way, General William, the technique needs to be paid, but the provision of materials can be paid after the finished product is sold, so that the weapon company is sharing the risk with your country, after all, the technique is eternal, but the product will be backlogged." ”

"That's great!"

William's heart immediately brightened when he got off Turner. As long as the risk is borne by someone, even if the weapons cannot be sold, it will also provide experience for their country's technical and technical strength. At the same time, he, who is not a negotiator, has a high view of the weapon company, and he also looks up to Dong Ku for being so trusted by this weapon company.

William had only been out for more than half an hour, and he hurried back. He didn't tell Dong Ku in detail, he said goodbye directly, and left Long Xiang in a hurry.

After William left, Zuo Boyang asked puzzledly: "Captain, don't we have a large-scale weapons production base ourselves, why do we ......?"

Glancing at Zuo Boyang, Dong Ku explained: "Canada is next to Soviet Russia, and if there is a war in the future, I hope that he will cut off the hegemony of the United States in arms exports, so that the United States will not make a fortune in the war." It is necessary to know that there needs to be a place to test the manufacture of weapons, and the more you manufacture, the more experience you accumulate, and it is not the same that someone pays for scientific research and studies and eliminates it yourself. ”

"Helping Soviet Russia? Could it be that there will be a war in Soviet Russia besides us? ”

"There should be, it's just that the timing is uncertain."

Dong Ku didn't explain too much. He couldn't tell Zuo Boyang that he knew that World War II was about to begin, and it would only take a year or two.

"Then help Soviet Russia, we ......"

Zuo Boyang still didn't understand, so he asked again.

"Don't worry, adjutant, how can I be strong against our opponents, but making money is a must, making war money doesn't have to be on the battlefield, there are many ways. There aren't many opportunities like that. ”

Zuo Boyang was still confused, but he didn't ask again. He knew that Dong Ku must be in his chest, and he would not support his opponent.

Dong Ku didn't worry about William going back to ask for instructions, he knew that Canada would agree to such conditions, this is a good deal with little loss and extremely high profits!

In fact, Dong Ku expected it well, and he told William to wait for his reply before dinner, and to meet guests after dinner. But William won't let him wait for a few hours at all, William's telegram was sent back, and the results came out in a few hours at most, this condition doesn't need to be studied too carefully, except for the sharing, the other can be said to be absolutely preferential, and it is harmless to Canadian Bailey.
