Few people knew what happened in the president's office that day, and they didn't see any orders from the bald president himself afterwards, which seemed to others to be inexplicably angry. www.biquge.info What is a little strange is that Yu Dawei, the director of the Ordnance Industry Administration, ran out two days after returning from a business trip.

"So we can work together?" Looking at the bundles of fiat currency in front of him, Wen Hui was a little dissatisfied, and he hoped that he could exchange it for small yellow croaker or US dollars.

"To be precise, a trial cooperation will only start when you make sure that you can guarantee the quantity and quality of supply." The government is not a fool who takes the bait when he sees it, and it is naturally a tentative cooperation in the early stage.

"No problem." Wen Hui is not a liar fishing, this condition is the same as nothing, "In addition to artillery, what else do you need?" ”

"Strictly speaking, everything is needed." It's a shame to tell the truth, but now is not the time to save face.

If Wenhui can provide weapons and equipment on a large scale here, then the title of adjustment division (the reorganization division that has not yet arrived is called the adjustment division) can be canceled. Not only light weapons, but also key artillery do not have to live with those pitiful few guns.

"No problem!" Anyway, the cooperation finally began, "Before that, I have a supplementary request, if you pay for the goods with not enough US dollars, you can replace it with precious metals, silver dollars, tungsten sand, etc., but fiat currency is not within our settlement scope." ”

"Yes." This is not a big problem, and the current international general settlement currency does not include fiat currency, Yu Dawei nodded in agreement.

"Here's what we might need based on market research, take a look." Wen Hui was not polite when he entered the main topic, and handed over a slip, which was a combination of history and the current actual situation, and the equipment list summarized by Long Si with his staff officers.

Yu Dawei took the list and looked through it, and after reading it, he suspected that the other party had other connections in the top of the government, and this document was more detailed than the Germans gave them.

In terms of individual equipment, M35 steel helmets, marching water bottles, military boots, gas masks, Mauser 98K with bayonets, M24 grenades, plus 20 barge guns (for officers), these are provided by Wen Hui, as for the military uniform, the current domestic military uniform of the German armorer, in addition to a small number of flamethrowers.

The light and heavy machine guns used in combat are mainly flower organs, ZB26 and Min 24 type, There are also some M2HB12.7mm heavy machine guns (equipped with battalion-level units) for suppressive fire and air defense purposes; the PTRD-41 14.5mm anti-tank rifle designed by Degtyalev (equipped with the company-level level), the air defense is mainly based on the Suroton (Swiss Arms Company, once the shell of German Rheinmetall) ST-5 20-mm machine gun, and the Bofors 40-mm army towed field anti-aircraft gun (M34 type, which has been authorized by Bofors to be imitated).

Mortars are mainly 60 and 82 mortars, supplemented by a small number of 120 mm mortars. The artillery includes various calibers from 37 mm anti-aircraft guns to 150 mm howitzers, so you can choose what you want.

As for the planes and tanks, that was later, and now the main task is to get the first deal done beautifully.

Yu Dawei saw from the beginning to the end, except for the lack of tanks and planes, other aspects of equipment were on it, even military rations and medicines! In this way, the integrated divisions can be armed beyond the plan, and the equipment that these units have eliminated can continue to arm the subordinate units, so that the combat effectiveness of the army can be improved on the whole.

Yu Dawei couldn't find anything wrong with this document, he was worried that the other party did not have enough goods, who knew that people came prepared, and everything was ready, so that he only needed to give as many divisions of equipment as he needed to pay for the goods.

"When will the equipment of the five divisions be available at the earliest?" Yu Dawei knew that except for the Central Teaching Corps, which was in accordance with the standards of the Germans, the other troops were discounted, and this discounted standard could not complete the refitting of all the troops at present.

"Five divisions?" Wen Hui rubbed his nose, "It's going to take two months." ”

"Then ......" Yu Dawei was pleasantly surprised, two months was already very fast!

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Hui, "General Yu, why are you in a hurry?" Can I wait until I'm done? Five divisions had too little equipment, so the shipment was not fast. If there is an order for ten divisions, it will arrive in a month. ”

"Cough~" Yu Dawei choked on his own saliva, this is really a businessman's greedy practice! I wanted to see their supply capacity, but I didn't expect people to dislike buying less!

"Also, do you want to make some adjustments to your military formation? Is the battle defense artillery company and howitzer company expanded? For the sake of their own business, Wen Hui certainly hopes that they can be expanded, after all, the artillery battalion of the troops directly under the division of the German Armament Division currently has only 3 howitzer companies (a total of 12 75mm mountain guns); 1 anti-aircraft artillery battery (4 37-mm anti-aircraft guns); 1 anti-aircraft artillery battery (4 20-mm anti-aircraft guns), such a degree of armament is also too shabby. Artillery regiments equipped with 105 mm or 150 mm howitzers are organized separately and are generally used in battalion units.

In view of the above situation, Wen Hui would like to suggest that they integrate 105mm howitzers into the divisional units, with one company equipped with four 105mm guns, and one division equipped with twelve or twenty-four guns (the size of one battalion or two battalions). The existing division directly under the division was reorganized into regimental units (the first division has four regiments), so that the division has a total of 12 105 mm howitzers, 48 75 guns, 12 37 mm anti-aircraft guns, and 12 anti-aircraft guns. Separate heavy artillery regiments were then formed, armed with a mix of 105 mm and 150 mm guns, so that the level of heavy firepower of these German divisions would exceed historical levels.

Yu Dawei thought about it and felt that he could consider it, after all, according to Wen Hui's selling price, he could buy more weapons from him if he bought things at the previous price, so that the number of heavy weapons equipped by the army could be appropriately increased. Wen Hui's ideas can only be used as a reference, and as for how to expand it, it will have to be decided after the research of the above people and the advisory group.

In the end, Yu Dawei placed an order for ten divisions, even if Wen Hui could only provide equipment for ten divisions, they would earn it. According to the contract, the deposit is paid in advance, and the payment is paid in batches after the arrival of the goods in one month, and 90% of the payment is offset by raw materials.

The procurement of infantry units was quickly over, and the focus of the trip was next. The government has always been in need of artillery, especially heavy artillery! Yu Dawei listed the purchase table according to the list of artillery given by Wen Hui (see Chapter 250 for details, see pirated copies at the outstation), and the low-profile version: M1919 75 mm mountain gun, M1919 105 mm mountain gun; High-end version: Bofors 75 mm mountain gun, Le.FH18 105 mm howitzer, these four models of artillery are in the greatest demand.

And the larger tube, they decisively chose the cheap and modest-performing M1928 155mm howitzer, although the range is not as good as the latest SFH18 howitzer, but the cheap M1928 can be installed on a larger scale, and the cost performance is very good (3.9 tons of weight is attractive). This is the low-end version, the high-end version is still the German SFH18, after all, the 10th Artillery Regiment has been equipped with this artillery, and the pressure on logistics with a heavy gun is not ordinarily great (finally considering logistics).

After the heavy artillery was completed, Yu Dawei began to purchase transportation, and heavy artillery required strong traction equipment for both transportation and rapid transfer, and the domestic pony could not pull these iron lumps. But at this point, Yu Dawei made a difficulty, he had spent almost the budget on the purchase of weapons before, and he was powerless to buy enough trucks.

At this time, Wen Hui gave a mix and match plan very intimately: the M1928 and SFH18 howitzers are towed by trucks (this six-ton guy can only be pulled by trucks), and the rest of the artillery is towed by mules and horses. There's a mule and horse option in the transport toolbar in the arsenal (amazing, isn't it?).

Yu Dawei adopted Wenhui's proposal this time, and made some adjustments by the way: he also purchased a batch of Willis Jeep, which he had seen here in Wenhui before, and he felt that it could be used to tow 75mm mountain guns.

In this way, ten divisions of equipment (artillery overpurchases), three SFH18 howitzer regiments, a regiment of 25 guns, 20,000 dollars / gun (35,000 for the Germans), 1,000 shells for each gun and 25 dollars per round (35 for the Germans); Five M1928 howitzer regiments, one regiment of thirty guns, fifteen thousand dollars / piece, twenty dollars per shell. There are also corresponding horses, jeeps, trucks.

Although it is a test transaction, Wenhui has also discounted it, and the transaction volume of this order is large enough for the national government. In the past, the government would definitely not be able to purchase so many weapons with more than 10 million US dollars in cash at one time, but Wen Hui not only has discounts here, but also can use mineral raw materials to offset the account, which is much easier.
