After listening to Wang Haitao's report, Bai Chongxi said with a smile: "Good job, this time you kid has made a great contribution to my Fourth Army, my Fourth Army needs these heavy weapons, take us to see these treasures." Wang Haitao replied: "Yes, the commander-in-chief and the commanders, please." After speaking, he turned sideways and let Bai Chongxi and the others go first. He accompanied Bai Chongxi and explained the parameters of various artillery to the sitting people.

Bai Chongxi and the others listened to Wang Haitao's explanation and observed the artillery one by one. When I saw these brand-new guns with a metallic luster, and touched the mark of Krupp on the guns, I couldn't help but be overjoyed and nodded again and again. After reading the artillery, Wang Haitao came to the armored vehicles, and explained the performance and parameters of these armored vehicles. The army commanders and division commanders who talked about it had their eyes shining, as if they were two heavy armored vehicles, and they were already the prey of the two army commanders.

After reading them all, Bai Chongxi decided on the spot to use these artillery pieces to form an independent heavy artillery regiment, which would be directly under the command of the Fourth Army Headquarters. And two heavy armored vehicles were given to the two army commanders unexpectedly, and the rest of the division commanders divided five light armored vehicles. There are more wolves and less meat, and the seven division commanders are divided into five armored vehicles, how can they be divided, and in the end they have to solve it by drawing lots.

As a result, Xu Qiming, the commander of the 170th Division, and Qin Lianfang, the commander of the 131st Division, did not catch the back of their hands. The two division commanders who were depressed came to Li Pinxian to complain, and Bai Chongxi and Li Pinxian, who were watching this scene with a smile, and the two army commanders said that there was no way. Wang Haitao saw that Xu Qiming didn't get an armored car, and Xu Qiming would be his immediate boss, so he had no choice but to smile and say: "Two division commanders, I originally left two armored vehicles and wanted to use them myself, but since the two division commanders didn't have them, how dare I use them? When I go back, I will order someone to send them to the two division commanders' station." ”

The two of them smiled and thanked Wang Haitao vigorously. At this time, Bai Chongxi and Li Pinxian and the two army commanders were going back to the headquarters, and Wang Haitao naturally went to the headquarters to report the situation together. After everyone came to the headquarters in several cars, they came to the small conference room and sat down, and Ye Qi, the chief of staff, also came to the small conference room at this time.

After everyone sat down, Li Pinxian said: "Colonel Wang Haitao, let's talk about this overseas trip, and also talk about the purchase of arms. Wang Haitao replied immediately: "Yes." Then he took out a set of rhetoric that he had thought of on the road and began to tell it.

Wang Haitao said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it has been more than five months since I boarded the ship and left Guangzhou on the 22nd of the lunar month. I first went to New York, USA, to find a way to get in touch with Germany. My uncle's steel mill had some business relations with the German Krupp company, and while I was in the United States, I made friends with the manager of Morgan Bank, Pitt, by chance.

After being introduced by Mr. Pitt, I learned about the production managers of Krupp, and that Mr. Lucas and Mr. Diner were friends of Mr. Pitt. Then my family secured a steel mill and got a million-dollar loan from Morgan Bank. When I arrived in Germany, I met with Mr. Lucas and Mr. Dina and explained to them that I wanted to buy a batch of arms.

Mr. Lucas and Mr. Diner agreed to report my request to my boss in the face of Manager Pete. But because Germany is also equipping the army with this weapon, it has not given me an answer for a long time. After learning about my situation, my family used their connections to find Fritz and Lieutenant General Todd, the head of the armaments department of the German General Headquarters, and Lieutenant General Fritz and Todd came forward to find the top management of the Krupp company, and then agreed to sell me this batch of weapons, but the delivery was about to be half a year later, and this was a purchase agreement. ”

After speaking, Wang Haitao took out the agreement to purchase weapons from the leather bag beside him. The agreement was handed to Bai Chongxi, Bai Chongxi nodded after reading it, and passed it to Li Pinxian and Ye Qi. Then Bai Chongxi asked again: "Then what happened to those artillery and armored vehicles?"

Wang Haitao replied: "Report sir, my family has borrowed one million dollars from Morgan Bank as collateral for the steel plant, which is intended to be given to me to support the development of our army. When I was in Germany, I saw that the German army not only had excellent infantry and light weapons, but also artillery units and armored units, so the combat effectiveness of a German division was very strong.

Therefore, I found the head of the German armaments department, Fritz and Lieutenant General Todd, and bought all the heavy weapons and a few armored vehicles for a million dollars. It's a pity that the money is too little, and second, these two armored vehicles of the Germans have just been developed and are being equipped with troops, and there is nothing superfluous, otherwise I would have to buy more and bring them back, so that our Fourth Army can also have an armored unit. ”

After Wang Haitao finished speaking, several generals nodded in approval, and finally Bai Chongxi said: "Okay, Colonel Wang Haitao, we all understand what you said, you go down and rest for a while, we still have something to discuss." Wang Haitao saluted and replied, "Yes." Then he turned and left the small conference room.

As soon as Wang Haitao left, Li Pinxian said: "Great, our Fourth Army has this heavy artillery regiment, and we have a little more confidence to speak." Bai Chongxi also smiled and said: "Yes, with this heavy artillery regiment, we will be equipped with new weapons at the end of the year, and we will have more confidence to confront Jiang in Nanjing." Didn't Jiang just ask German advisers to help him build a few German mechanics, you see he was proud. Now at the end of the year, we also have a German mechanic, see what he is proud of. ”

Ye Qi said: "It seems that Wang Haitao's family has a very deep background abroad, and it is not a small fact to be able to find the head of the armaments department of the German General Headquarters. This time, he has indeed made great contributions to our Fourth Army, how to reward him, and it is up to Commander-in-Chief Bai to decide. ”

Bai Chongxi said: "Yes, first, this Wang Haitao's family does have some background overseas, and he may have to use this relationship in the future, and second, I promised him before that I would reward him after the arms procurement was completed." Thirdly, his family has offered us so many heavy weapons, which cannot be bought in China with money. It's time to reward him. ”

Bai Chongxi thought for a while and said: "Commander Liao, isn't there a regiment under the 170th Division of your army stationed in Binyang County? That county should be a relatively wealthy county among the several counties in Nanning, you give up this county, how about I give priority to your 170th Division when the weapons come back this time?" As soon as Liao Lei heard Bai Chongxi's words, although he used a consultative tone, he should have already made a decision in his heart, so he had to nod and agree.
