Huang Ke drew up a plan to expand the army, he first planned to recruit about a hundred soldiers, and made a detailed list of weapons to buy to Zhao Tinghui.

Huang Ke, the source of the soldiers, planned to recruit from the local fishermen and farmers in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the brave soldiers of the Guangdong and Guizhou armies had already seen and heard in the Anti-Japanese War. Huang Ke believed that the people's hearts were available, but the illiterate could not.

He first went to find Xie Asi and explained his intention to him, Xie Asi greeted the young man in the village without saying anything.

"Mr. Huang, although I, Xie Asi, have no culture, but from the time I saw your performance in the market that day, I knew that you must be a person who can do great things. Take these kids with you, and if you choose them, I'll make sure he'll come with you. ”

After hearing this, Huang Ke was a little inexplicably moved.

In rural China, young adults are the main productive force of labor, and people who can send their family labor out to serve as soldiers naturally have a hundred trust in you.

Huang Ke knew that only the Eighth Route Army of GCD could do this, but he didn't expect him to do it in advance now, which really made him excited.

However, no matter how enthusiastic they are, Huang Ke can't all be under his command.

These people had to be hand-picked by Huang Ke, and they must not only be literate, but also not have a criminal record. At the same time, he recruited mainly seventeen or eighteen-year-old youths, and he knew that such people were easy to be refreshed.

With these dozen people, Huang Ke planned to start practicing first, and as for the specific training methods, Huang Ke referred to some of his memories of visiting the special forces in that era.

There are definitely not enough people at this point, Huang Ke knows that it takes at least more than 100 people to encircle and annihilate Qiu Ba.

The initial more than 100 people were only his initial stage, and during this period, he planned to cultivate some military backbones to lay the foundation for the great cause of stealing the country in the future.

But the difficulty lies in the fact that the cultural quality of the fishermen is too low, and if they want to recruit officers, they may not be able to do it. If it were to be recruited from a larger school, it would be a bit unrealistic to use it in the name of the merchant army. Forget it, no matter what, you can recruit as much as you can.

Huang Ke prepared to draw up a list of weapons, and he listed 100 Lee-Enfield rifles and two German Makqin MG08 heavy machine guns.

In the choice of weapons, Huang Ke weighed several famous guns in World War I for a long time, and he found news reports and introductions about rifles during this time. It's a late one, and it's not hard to find the news.

After the comparison, the German Mauser and the old Maozi's Mossinagan were abandoned, because the Lee-Enfield rifle not only had a short body, but also had a large ammunition capacity, which was an advantage. Needless to say, the Maxim heavy machine gun, the meat grinder in World War I and this thing have a lot of credit, and it is understandable to choose it.

After drawing up the list, Huang Ke handed the list to Zhao Tinghui, and at the same time he told Zhao Tinghui about his plan to expand the army by 100 people, Zhao Tinghui couldn't help frowning after hearing it, and after a while, he asked Huang Ke: "Brother Huang, is this too big?" For the time being, the entire merchant group did not have more than 100 guards. ”

Huang Ke glanced at Zhao Tinghui with disdain in his heart, this guy's businessman nature was exposed, picking! What a fucking pick!

"But Lao Tzu still wants to help you avenge your father's murder and keep these properties, so that I am also your brother-in-law in the future," Huang Ke thought to himself.

"I'm afraid Mr. Huang has returned from the West, I don't know the rules on our side," Steward Wang next to him spoke again.

Huang Ke secretly scolded this old ghost in his heart, and then pretended to be humble on the surface and said: "Huang is not talented, there are some things I don't understand, please Mr. Zhao for advice." ”

Steward Wang cleared his throat and said, "We are businessmen, and the most important thing for businessmen is to be profit-oriented. Also, what will they think if we train so many soldiers? If we anger them, how do we end up? ”

"What a businessman wants is to be comfortable, if the world is chaotic, how can we do business?"

After Steward Wang finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Tinghui next to him, and saw that Zhao Tinghui's expression was a little acquiescing to his expression, and he smiled happily.

Huang Ke picked up the cup of tea in front of him after listening to it, and after taking a sip, he said simply: "What you said is just two words." ”

"What two words?" Steward Wang asked.

"Bullshit!" After Huang Ke finished speaking, he turned to Zhao Tinghui, completely ignoring Steward Wang, who was already angry and his eyes were green.

Huang Ke pointed outside and said, "Brother Zhao, Huang Ke has no other requirements, according to the above requirements, you buy weapons, help me pay my salary, and let me and I gather enough for a hundred soldiers." ”

"One month, you give me a month, I will train these people into the army, today next month, I will put Qiu Ba's head in front of you, if not, Huang Ke I will take the initiative to leave!"

"This ......" The indecisive Zhao Tinghui was still thinking in his heart, and he didn't answer for a while.

"I support Brother Huang!" Zhao Xiaowan, who was in the side room, suddenly rushed out, the revenge of killing her father in her heart was even more incompatible, and she had a chance to take revenge, of course she supported it.

"What are you doing here? What are you messing around? Get back! Zhao Tinghui was naturally unhappy when he saw his little sister coming out to stir up the situation. Although he had experienced in Europe and the United States, Zhao Tinghui still had a bit of feudal thoughts in his heart, and the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women still had some residues in his mind.

Zhao Xiaowan pursed her lips and stubbornly said that she would not go back.

Huang Ke looked at this little "Guan Zhilin", he couldn't help but think in his heart, he looked so cute when he was angry, it seems that Lao Tzu must take you down.

Huang Ke stood up and smiled, he shook his head and said, "I didn't expect Brother Zhao's bearing, but he is not even as good as a woman?" Although I advocate equality between men and women, in some things, women are not as good as men physically, psychologically, but today, Brother Zhao, what is your performance? ”

Speaking politely and ruthlessly has always been Huang Ke's basic style, even in the face of his future brother-in-law Zhao Tinghui.

After a few days of contact, Huang Ke had a rough judgment about Zhao Tinghui, although this person can be regarded as a righteous and affectionate person, but he is still a bit of a businessman's treacherous in his bones, and his personality is a little indecisive.

After Huang Ke said these words for no reason, Zhao Tinghui's face was a little unbearable. His hands were tightly clasped on the armrest of his chair, and he was going to stand up, but then he changed his mind.

"Brother Huang, it's not good for me for you to use such a radical method, why don't I want to take revenge? It's just that your plan is too big, and not only is it difficult to manage in terms of funds, but besides, training so many soldiers will attract the attention of the government, and not only will it not do us any good at that time, but it will also bring endless trouble, businessman! It's about stability. ”

Zhao Xiaowan wanted to continue arguing with her brother, but Huang Ke signaled her to stop talking. Huang Ke shook his head and said, "Since there is no room for the little brother here, the little brother has no choice but to leave!" But it's a pity, I'm afraid that this good family business will encounter another bloody disaster. ”

Huang Ke stood up and was about to leave, he felt that there was no room for hope for such a person: "It's a pity, Miss Chen is as beautiful as a fairy, I'm afraid she will be ruined by that Qiu Ba, let's go out and avoid it." ”

After speaking, Huang Ke stood up and left, without looking back.

Zhao Tinghui sat motionless in his chair, didn't he know that Qiu Ba would come to him again to trouble him after his vitality recovered, but he was afraid that training too many soldiers would provoke the government, and besides, she seemed to see that Xiao Wan was a little interested in that weirdo. This is not good, if the two develop feelings over time, according to Xiaowan's temperament, they will definitely not marry the Overseer's Mansion.

Besides, if this is known to the Overseer, will he still have a good life?

Zhao Tinghui thought back and forth, and didn't know what to do? Can you think of a compromise?

Zhao Tinghui quickly caught up with Huang Ke: "Brother Huang, it's not that I don't want to train soldiers, it's just that it's really ...... to practice too much" "That's it, let's practice thirty first, you don't have to worry about money, soldiers, and guns." ”

Huang Ke stopped, he looked at Zhao Tinghui, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "A hundred soldiers and a hundred guns are only a lot more!" Without these, I wouldn't be able to win against Qiu Ba in a month. Also, I'm not staying here for your 100,000 oceans of newspapers, I'm for her. ”

Huang Ke said, pointing to Zhao Xiaowan standing next to her, Zhao Xiaowan couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect Huang Ke to mention liking herself on such a public occasion, this is simply a naked confession of love.

Zhao Tinghui's face turned from joy to anger, the essence of this guy was exposed, he grabbed Huang Ke's arm and scolded loudly: "Huang Ke, you ......"

Huang Ke grabbed his arm and asked him to let go, and he said firmly: "Whoever Lao Tzu likes is Lao Tzu's freedom, and no one can interfere; Lao Tzu not only likes it, Lao Tzu also wants to pursue her, I want to stay here to protect her now, and I can't let her big brother, who is afraid of things, ruin her life. ”

"Didn't you let him marry the son of a high-ranking official of the Gui Army just to protect your family's business? Tell you, give Lao Tzu five years, Lao Tzu will lay down a world! ”

After Huang Ke finished speaking, he shook off Zhao Tinghui's arm, and then strode forward.

Walking on the road, Huang Ke scolded in his heart,! Lao Tzu crossed over and fucking met this kind of scared kid, let's go, Lao Tzu wants you to see, what is a real man!
