Chapter 33: Trends
Wen Hui's current mission is to expand the amount of business (logistics materials) as much as possible, so as to unlock more weapons and develop the local industrial base along the way. When he was fine, he calculated that the bullets he purchased from the military factory were one-third more expensive than the bullets produced by the local arsenal, and although the quality was 100% guaranteed (no duds), this third was not a small amount. You must know that most of the current equipment expenditure is Wen Hui out of his own pocket to purchase from military factories, without Wen Hui's support the next day the army will be finished, as the scale will become larger and larger in the future, the expenditure will naturally rise, and the cost will always be unaffordable, so getting rid of the "self-funded army" is an urgent problem, a healthy industry and a sound economy is the first step in the source of military spending.
Don't look at the current income is a lot, but Wen Hui is currently one of the buyers of the military factory, and most of his dividend profits have become arms materials, and this problem will be solved when Wen Hui does not have to take a lot of money out of his pocket.
"Alas! It's not right when I came, if I came over at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it would be nice to do the mites at that time, and there would not be so much trouble in stepping on the Republic of China, and there would be no too serious external threats, which would be like being pinched with Japan right now. Wen Hui sighed that the one-year development period is still too urgent.
"Don't complain, let's think about how to deal with the Japanese, the barbecue was really cool that day, and now the protests are coming."
"Huh? The government didn't carry it? ”
"The government said that it can't control the independent warlords, and let the Japanese solve it with you themselves. It says that the murderer will be handed over, compensation will be given, and a public apology will be made......"
"Listen to him fart!" Wen Hui didn't even have the interest to take a look, and wanted to come over to find trouble with him, so he would knock Nanjing down first, otherwise he could only shout two words. This is not the first time that such an annoyingly harshly worded diplomatic order has been received, so can the Japanese expect to achieve their goals by relying on it?
Originally, this matter was over, Wen Hui submitted a disappearance report, saying that the Japanese on the ground were lost in the mountains, and he mobilized the masses to conduct a carpet search (interesting enough), but only found some bones, which were probably taken by wolves. I said don't run around, you see how the businessmen of other countries are fine.
It's not a big deal, a few businessmen (spies) are missing, and at most a funeral fee and an apology statement. What's more, the Americans and the Germans are covering for Wen Hui, these two naturally have to say good things when they take the benefits, they don't want the business to end because of the death of a few Japanese, and the Japanese embassy staff who came to inquire were vague, they didn't see it, they didn't know, they didn't know, it seemed to be ...... Coupled with Wen Hui's unilateral detailed accident report, the Japanese side was also ready to pinch its nose and admit it.
But there is a-stirring stick that can't see the situation that ends in harmony, and the British "inadvertently" leaked the truth, and said that he leaked his mouth at the drinking party (also has the attribute of eight women), and now the Japanese are unwilling, and they want an explanation for jumping up and down.
Find Nanjing, play ball in Nanjing, as long as you can deal with that warlord leader, whatever you do, don't cover up or shirk, this is interesting enough. But Wen Hui is squatting in the central hinterland, what to do? Military means can't be used, political pressure is equal to nothing for a warlord who is not afraid of boiling water for a dead pig, and this freak has no external needs, and the Japanese have nothing to do with Wen Hui, who is squatting at home and self-sufficient.
In the end, I thought of assassination, for those who dare to do it against themselves, the Japanese have always played assassination if they can't deal with it with their own means, but if they really send someone to assassinate, it can test Wenhui's household registration joint defense, strict foreign population review system, there are no people in the county seat at all, and I don't know how they are going to infiltrate.
In the end, the assassination did not work out, not because of the generosity of the Japanese, but because of the stupid decision of a certain soil fat circle to stop the army red deer. This matter is looking at Wen Hui, a warlord in the mainland, who slapped them in the face, and the government played the ball regardless of everything, but on the other hand, this is also an opportunity, the central government cannot restrain him, if he can raise the flag to make an independent and openly confront the central government, it will be very beneficial to their future plans.
The fuss went on and on, and finally it became a diplomat's joke, and apart from a few verbal fights in the newspapers from time to time, it seemed that it was over. In addition, everyone sings and dances, but there is a little more talk after tea and dinner - a brave guy dares to attack the Japanese.
When the Japanese calculated how much money they had invested in Wen Hui, the other parties were not idle, Britain and France were still in the dream of peace in the world, making money was the current thing, and the European war was indeed a few years away from them; The Americans have always wanted to enter the Chinese market on a large scale and get a piece of the pie from the British, and now there is an opportunity how not to seize it, although it is not an economically developed place, but it is also the first step to continue to expand cooperation There will always be a day when the goal is achieved; And the Germans, in addition to normal trade, paid attention to the sudden appearance of weapons.
Lindemann returned to his superiors and gave a detailed report on what he had seen and heard on the trip, and then an objective report was sent back to Germany, and the unusual actions of the Nationalist government were supposed to be reported to the country, and the tank matter was only part of this report.
Tungsten sand this strategic resource output decline will directly affect the expansion of the German military, in the face of the advisory group's survey response, the Germans ridiculed the absurd conclusions in the report, but compared with the previous quarter, the government's output of various raw materials are declining This is an indisputable fact, and from the current situation, the decline has an aggravating trend (ten divisions of equipment arrived, do not hurry up to give money, how to carry out the business in the future)!
In this way, a new power has really emerged to replace Germany! They gradually squeezed the Germans off the trading table with cheaper prices, huge supplies, and shortcuts to transportation. Looking at the three five and three six types of light tanks, judging from the currently known data, the performance of these two types of tanks does not seem to be bad, combined with the cancellation of the order for the No. 1 tank by the government, this ridiculous report does not seem to be telling a lie, someone is really digging their corners!
Compared with the government's suspicion, Hebu Lou Company is the most direct victim of this change, and the company's interests will be slow to react! Since Wenhui supplied as promised, the government's attitude towards Hebu Building was not so eager, and the orders that could be canceled were cancelled and handed over to the "domestic manufacturers". For the high price, the government here is a "drag" word, anyway, there is a second choice, the price and service attitude are better than yours, and there are preferential discounts, now the uncle of the government has time and you to grind foreign workers on the price, anyway, the procurement of arms This kind of thing must not be completed immediately, and it is normal to drag on for a year and a half.
Moreover, Mr. President has done a rare job of secrecy, ignoring the complaints of the guys who have suddenly been smashed in the country, and the armed forces in his hands have been strengthened, making it easier to clean up those people. The bald head also knows what is the foundation of the foothold.
Therefore, whether it is for the interests of the enterprise or the country, it is necessary for the German side to send people to take a look, and at the same time instruct Hebu Lou to give some preferential treatment appropriately, don't patronize to make money, and they are very interested in Wenhui's factory, the price of goods in the report is very attractive to them, and the raw materials must be processed when they are pulled back, and if they can spend money to purchase finished products from him, it seems that it is not a loss. A combination of several factors, the Germans paid a rare attention to the raw material production areas of the Far East, and a team of 20 people secretly set off, if the situation is true, it can warm up the relationship between the two sides, as for the feelings of the Japanese, it is not that they have not yet formed an alliance.
Wen Hui, who has unconsciously become the target of attention from all parties, is currently having a headache, he can deal with the problems in the business field, but he can't play this aspect of industrial co-ordination at all! In the past, it was easy to manage a small stall, but now the scale of the industrial zone is getting bigger and bigger, and the daily management alone is a big job, not to mention the overall planning and gradual expansion of the industrial zone.
"I need a god-level manager!" Lying on the table, Wen Hui was very unloving to the traditional Chinese document in front of him, but where is it so easy to find a talent who controls the overall situation and daily management, Wen Hui plans to develop this place into a national industrial zone, and the helmsman cannot be sloppy.
Combined with its own requirements, it is unrealistic to poach people from the current society, so it can only be recruited. But the conscription ...... I can't say anything, but I don't have to say the price. For personnel of this level, it is estimated that ten goods like Ryuzaki are worth a bundle of goods, and no one is worth anything.
"Master, what's the matter?"
"It's fine." It's a good thing to follow the people who started the business, and it's a bit unkind to return the depreciation for money, so you can only continue to pay for it, it's really painful!
