readx;? After the metal materials were sent to the military factory, Wang Haitao went to the military factory again to inspect and take some weapons and ammunition from the military factory, and then left Longzhou County and returned to Binyang County. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The first thing he did when he returned to Binyang County was to report to Bai Chongxi that the materials had been shipped to the Longzhou County Military Factory, and that German munitions would be delivered to the port of Guangzhou in late December. So when Wang Haitao, who arrived at the Binyang County military camp, didn't take a break, and after saying hello to Su Zuxin and them, he drove straight to the headquarters of the Fourth Army.

When Bai Chongxi met Wang Haitao in the office, Wang Haitao saluted when he saw Bai Chongxi, and said, "Good commander-in-chief Bai!"

Bai Chongxi smiled back and asked, "You came to see me today, what's the matter?"

Wang Haitao replied: "Report to Commander Bai that the metal materials I purchased last time have been shipped to the military factory in Longzhou County, and the military factory has begun to use these materials to start producing guns and bullets. In addition, when receiving materials at the port of Guangzhou, a telegram was sent to the Krupp headquarters in Germany through the Krupp firm in Guangzhou, asking about the situation of the arms, and the Krupp headquarters called back that the arms would be shipped to the port of Guangzhou in late December. Commander-in-Chief Bai was also asked to be ready to receive arms. ”

Bai Chongxi said happily: "It's finally time to wait for this batch of arms, and now the domestic situation is tense, and it is the time when this batch of arms is needed, it is really too timely." Okay, I know everything, you go first, I'll be ready to receive the arms. ”

Wang Haitao saluted and said, "Then retire from your humble position." After speaking, he left Bai Chongxi's office.

Towards the end of the year, the government of the Republic of China issued a notice of national financial reform, banning the circulation of silver dollars nationwide and replacing them with legal tender. After the news reached Nanning, it caused a wave of fluctuations from all walks of life. But Guangxi is Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi who have the final say, and it is Li Zongren who is in charge of Guangxi's civil affairs. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi ignored the decrees of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, so what should be done in Guangxi.

After fluctuating for a while, all walks of life saw that there was no change in Guangxi, and gradually calmed down. In late December, Wang Haitao, who was in the military camp in Binyang County, suddenly received a telegram from Hans, the manager of the Krupp firm in Guangzhou, according to the band left by Wang Haitao. The telegram informed Wang Haitao that the German freighter would arrive at the port of Guangzhou within two days, and asked Wang Haitao to rush to Guangzhou immediately.

Because there were artillery and armored vehicles purchased by Wang Haitao on the freighter, Wang Haitao did not immediately inform Bai Chongxi, but told Su Zuxin that he had something to do and returned to Longzhou County, and then drove to Guangzhou. Wang Haitao and the guards took turns to drive, and it took a day and a night to rush to Guangzhou. When the Hans manager of the Krupp firm saw Wang Haitao, he said to Wang Haitao: "Mr. Wang, after the German freighter entered the China Sea, it sent me a telegram.

The telegram reported that the freighter was in a position and that it should arrive at the port of Canton by the evening of the to-morrow evening, at a normal rate, so I sent you a telegram. Wang Haitao first thanked Manager Hans, and after inspecting the chemical raw materials, he paid off the payment, and then found a hotel with the guards to stay.

Early the next morning, Wang Haitao went to the Guangzhou Municipal Port Authority and told the director of the port authority that a German freighter would enter the port of Guangzhou tomorrow evening, loaded with munitions purchased by the Fourth Group Army, and that he would now rent a large warehouse and ask the port authority to arrange for people to unload the ship.

Wang Haitao had already dealt with the people of the port authority many times, and the director of the port authority knew that Wang Haitao, the major general and brigade commander, was very bold, so he agreed to Wang Haitao's request and asked his subordinates to do it as soon as possible. At noon, Wang Haitao sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Fourth Army, informing them that the German freighter was about to arrive at the port of Guangzhou, and that the headquarters would send receiving personnel and troops to receive it.

In the evening, a German freighter sailed into the port of Guangzhou, and after the freighter docked and anchored, Wang Haitao boarded the freighter with the guards. On the freighter, Wang Haitao met the person sent by the Krupp headquarters, who was actually the deputy manager of the finance department who accompanied Wang Haitao to Hamburg when Wang Haitao was in Germany. Since they are acquaintances, everything is much easier.

After Wang Haitao received the two cargo lists, he asked the deputy manager to get off the ship and go to Guangzhou City to rest. The deputy manager, who had been on the ship for a month, just wanted to get off the boat and relax, so he readily agreed to Wang Haitao's invitation. Wang Haitao drove the deputy manager to one of the best restaurants in Guangzhou, and ordered a table of Chinese food for the deputy manager to taste.

After a table of banquets with all colors, aromas and flavors was served, the deputy manager was dumbfounded, and after tasting the taste, he was full of praise. It's just that after the deputy manager drank a sip of the Moutai wine that Wang Haitao was asking for, his face was choked and his face was red. When Wang Haitao saw it, he had to change to light fruit wine, and the deputy manager continued to eat and drink with Wang Haitao.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wang Haitao began to explain what the deputy manager should and should not say when receiving the officers who came to hand over the arms, and the deputy manager agreed one and one by one. Because the agreement that Wang Haitao handed over to Bai Chongxi was written in accordance with the arms offer made by Wang Haitao during the negotiations in Longzhou, the actual price of these guns was only $252,600, and the actual price was $300,000 plus freight. The agreement was $511,000, plus shipping for a total of $550,000.

The payment for the arms had been deducted from the accounts deposited in the Krupp Company, so Wang Haitao received the money brought by the Fourth Army this time.

The next day, after Wang Haitao got on the ship and checked the numbers, he asked the people from the port authority to arrange for the unloading. To Wang Haitao's delight, thirty armored vehicles were also in the cargo this time. After these armored vehicles were unloaded from the ship, Wang Haitao and the guards drove them back to the warehouse one by one. Two days later, all the munitions had entered the warehouse, and the deputy manager could leave as long as he waited for the people sent by the Fourth Army Headquarters to sign and accept them.

Wang Haitao looked at hundreds of artillery pieces and dozens of armored vehicles, and thought about how much he would give to the Fourth Army. After thinking about it, Wang Haitao came to the warehouse at night, and after arranging for the guards to guard at the door, Wang Haitao walked into the warehouse.

75 infantry guns 150 rounds with 3,000 shells, left for Bai Chongxi 50 guns and 1,000 shells; 105 howitzers with 8,000 rounds of artillery shells, left for Bai Chongxi 20 guns, a total of 2,000 shells of various shells; 150 heavy guns with 3,000 shells, left for Bai Chongxi 5 guns and 500 shells; 30 armored vehicles, left for Bai Chongxi 10 guns and accessories. The rest of Wang Haitao was all packed into the storage ring.
