On the way back, Liu Qingyang expressed his doubts to Zhao Jian. The other party is just an accountant who is a little cautious, he is better at accounting, and in other respects he is ashamed of being inferior to Zhao Jian, who is half his age.

"Young Master, why don't we try to order from the arsenal? Isn't there an artillery factory in Osaka? ”

"Qingyang, you must know that we are now arms dealers, not arms dealers."

"Uh...... Does it make a difference? ”

"Yes, and it's huge! Arms dealers produce their own weapons, backed by an official background. But they need the government's approval from production to trafficking, and sometimes they even have to sacrifice their own interests for the sake of government, while arms dealers are much freer! We don't produce weapons, we're just porters of arsenals. There is no official backing, but as long as the money is paid, it is our customers. ”

In Zhao Jian's view, the arms dealers who belong to serious businessmen are definitely more than one level higher than the arms dealers. They don't have to risk their lives, and they can also go through formal channels to get large orders. But the threshold for becoming an arms dealer is also very high, and Zhao Jian still has a long way to go in this regard.

"If we order from a regular arsenal, the authorities will inevitably ask, what will we say then? Do you want to order a bunch of cannons privately and go back to the collection? ”

"Can't you just say that you bought it for Ethiopia?"

"Then I promise they won't even sell us a screw! Today's international situation is very unfavorable to Ethiopia, and the mainstream countries are either staying out of the matter like Datang, or appeasement of Italy like Britain and France, and supporting third-world countries that sympathize with Ethiopia and are basically poorer than Ethiopia. Otherwise, why do you think Haile Selassie is willing to pay such a large price to order from us? ”

At the beginning of the year, Italy had reached an "understanding" with Japan, and Japan officially supported any Italian military action in Ethiopia.

According to a person familiar with the matter who did not want to be named, the Italian ambassador took the "upper route" to get Japan through guò this time. They sent a guy who could speak well to meet Emperor Hirohito, and then slapped each other's ass for a full 2 hours, and "took down" the second middle school boy on the spot.

I have to mention here that Emperor Hirohito, who is only 14 years old, is really a year with great potential for "faint monarchs"! He was a full 20 years younger than his "self" in another time and space, and his premature succession to the throne made the bear child arrogant and empty-eyed, and trusted the militarists who supported him to come to power. At the same time, Hirohito was also full of hostility to the Tang Dynasty, which had supported the Tokugawa Shogunate, and had made disrespectful remarks in public more than once, saying that he would defeat the Tang Dynasty in his lifetime, and be ashamed of the 500 years of power during the Snow Shogunate.

In 1935, in the process of actively breaking away from Asia and joining Europe, Japan had not yet felt the warmth of capitalism, but the severe cold of the financial crisis had been experienced first. Japan itself lacks industrial raw materials, but it is actively developing its industry, and it can be said that any disturbance in the international market will turn into a storm when it comes to them.

Under these circumstances, not only the Japanese government, but also many people were looking forward to war. They believed that war would revive a flagging economy, as it did in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I.

"It's so sweet! From the people to the dim sum, it's so sweet! (Note: The pronunciation of sweet and innocent in Japanese is similar)

found a dessert shop with decent decoration, Zhao Jian planned to eat some supper to replenish the sugar, but he ate a mouthful of saccharin in the first bite, and then he couldn't swallow the whole bowl of sweet porridge.

Perhaps because he had seen too many food safety problems in his previous life, Zhao Jian has always been very particular about eating, and his family's food factory is stricter in this regard than state-owned enterprises. You must know that the so-called "green food" has not been advocated in this era, and even some admirers of industrialization are clamoring that in the future, the world's factories will replace farmland, and synthetic food is the mainstream on the table.

For these people, Zhao Jian just wanted to say...... "If you have the ability, you stand up, Lao Tzu promises not to kill you!" ”

Zhao Jian left Yi Xiang 3 days to think about it, but the other party only used one night. When the bloodshot Yi Xiang came to the Pingbo early the next morning, Zhao Jian, who had just woken up, knew that his deal was half in half.

"Mr. Ichijo, I'm really glad you made up your mind so quickly."

"Zhao Jun, I hope to hear your plan first. In addition, you have to assure me that these weapons will never be used against us Japanese, otherwise if something happens, I will not be able to escape it, and I will feel uneasy in my conscience. ”

Stealing weapons from the armory is a serious crime in any country that can be shot, but driven by interests, there are many people who are willing to take risks, and now there is an economic crisis, and there are even more soldiers who are wavering in their hearts.

For the same amount of weapons and ammunition, Zhao Jian resold them from the soldiers, usually only one-third of the factory order price, and the Mao Zi who was exhausted was even more exaggerated. Zhao Jian once used only ten boxes of two-pot heads + 5000 rubles to exchange for 7 tons of ammunition, if it wasn't for the adjutant to stop him, the commander of the regiment who drank high even wanted to give Zhao Jian a BT-5!

After figuring out the routine, this kind of "black trade" is actually not difficult, but it is limited to light weapons and consumable ammunition, and the difficulty of reselling heavy weapons is much higher.

"I can use my personality as a guarantee that these weapons are going to be sold to Africa, and you don't have a colony there, and no matter how the locals fight, they won't hurt you Japan. As for the plan, first of all, we need to buy a lot of people......"

"This is not a problem, the garrison team of the warehouse is my final say, and the deputy captain Aida-kun is my brother-in-law, and he also helped us in our last transaction. Of course, he also shared some money that time. ”

"Have you figured it out, what if anyone in this area is unreliable and betrays us when the time comes? I'm from the Tang Dynasty, as long as I can run back to China, your Japanese government can't help me, and I won't come to Japan again in the future, but Mr. Ichijo, you're going to finish playing! ”

"This ......"

"Think again, think about who is most likely to betray you this time, especially those who don't usually have a good relationship with you."

Following Zhao Jian's guidance, he thought very seriously for a while, and soon remembered a person.

"Yes! There's a kid who doesn't deal with me very well! That guy's name is Si Bo Daya, he is a military Cao, he doesn't have any big skills, and he is just a little white face. Relying on my sister being the mistress of the squadron leader, I usually don't take me as a top boss in my eyes at all. ”

"And what about his relationship with the others?"

"He doesn't even pay attention to me, let alone anyone else. dragged 2580,000 all day long, and those who didn't know thought he was the commander of the division! To tell you the truth, there are more people who want to beat him, if it weren't for the fear that his sister would blow the pillow wind to the squadron leader, this kid who loves to hook up with other people's wives would have been castrated! ”

Speaking of this Si Bo Daya, Ichijo's face was full of disdain, and it seemed that he did have a deep grudge on weekdays.

"Then choose him! This plan needs a black pot, and it is not appropriate to betray one's own people, and this kind of goods is just right. ”

The two conspired for a long time, and Ichijo did not leave until noon. And Zhao Jian only found out after sending the other party away that he had forgotten to wash, and he really didn't even want face for money!

Taking advantage of the time when the other party went back to prepare, Zhao Jian purchased some local products from Osaka like an ordinary businessman, so as not to make people suspect that he was acting suspiciously. By the way, he also sent a telegram to the country, reporting his safety to his family.

Interestingly, Osaka is a "territory" belonging to the Japanese Army, and the discord between the Japanese Navy and the Army is rare in the world. Therefore, in some local army-run newspapers, reporters described the ongoing Tang-Japan joint military exercise as an "extravagance and waste" of the navy, and they were sourly carrying out all kinds of verbal and written criticisms.

The huge gap between the first-class navy and the third-rate army makes it difficult for local tyrants to be friends with **silk!

The navy is a super expensive service, and the cost of one battleship is enough to arm several divisions. Therefore, in the context of Japan's all-out development of the navy, the army has always lived a hard life of "raising a mother." If World War II had not broken out, the conflict between the Japanese Navy and Army would have continued to intensify and turn into a civil war.

Of course! If you really do it, it will definitely be the navy that wins. In terms of heavy firepower alone, the naval side has an overwhelming advantage! Unless the army can grab all the giant gods belonging to the Japanese imperial family, it will not be enough for a destroyer to fight with the navy with only those 400 Type 89 armored aircraft.

PS: Next week, I will go to Sanjiang and decide to fight for a week's "three watches a day", and I hope that readers can give Sanjiang tickets fierce "firepower ♂" support.

Another P: There is a change in the evening, and I am ready to adjust the number of words in each chapter to 2500, and then use 5000+ per day as the standard output.
