"Mr. Fang, I want to ask how many weapons you still need, or how many armed forces you will have to save yourself?"

Liao Mingyu took a sip of the teacup, and listened to Fang Jingyao's words, if he didn't feel it at all, it was fake.

Historically, overseas Chinese have never lived up to their motherland. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, countless overseas Chinese anti-Japanese and national salvation organizations united tens of millions of overseas Chinese to jointly support the domestic anti-Japanese resistance.

Taking Nanyang overseas Chinese as an example, in the first half of 1939 alone, the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association provided 500,000 sets of cotton clothes, 217 airplanes, 23 tanks and 1,000 ambulances to the anti-Japanese front.

In addition to providing military supplies, overseas Chinese also supported the war of resistance by donating money and subscribing to anti-Japanese national bonds. During the entire period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, overseas Chinese donated more than 1.3 billion yuan to the state, subscribed 1.1 billion yuan in national bonds, and remitted 9.5 billion yuan in overseas Chinese. Half of the 500 million yuan of treasury bonds issued by the Nationalist Government in the first phase were subscribed by overseas Chinese. In addition, the treasury bonds subscribed by overseas Chinese were not repaid in the end due to internal reasons, and they were exactly the same as direct donations.

During the Anti-Japanese War, more than 4 million overseas Chinese participated in the Anti-Japanese War, including wealthy businessmen like Chen Jiageng, street vendors like Zheng Chaojiong, and beggars and prostitutes. No matter where they are or what their identities are, they have not forgotten their Yanhuang bloodline.

They are worthy of respect, Liao Mingyu thought in his heart. And now millions of overseas Chinese compatriots are struggling to survive under the butcher's knife of the Japanese. How could he be completely indifferent.

"In fact, our Nanyang Self-Salvation Association is not only in terms of military armament, but also includes industry, agriculture and commerce, and is run by a temporary council jointly established by the seven major families. Each family led the resistance of countless overseas Chinese and Japanese in their profession. ”

"As for military strength, our Fang family is relatively good. The clan has an old relationship with General Tang Jiyao, and Fang was also admitted to the Yunnan Lecture Hall under the arrangement of the family in the early years. After graduation, he followed General Tang to train in the Yunnan Army and participated in the Patriotic War. Hehe, I'm not afraid of Captain Liao's jokes. Fang was only 18 years old that year. ”

In order to show his honesty, Fang Jingyao slowly revealed his identity:

"After the Protectorate War, I quit the Dian Army and returned to Singapore to take care of the family business. At this point, Fang returned to Yunnan for the cause of the nation. ”

"Now we have two units, one in Brunei and one south of Siam, near Kuala Lumpur. The Siamese army numbered more than 3,000 people, but it was limited by strength. We had no choice but to break it up into pieces, focusing on containment and not engaging in a head-to-head confrontation with the Japanese army. ”

It turned out that he was fighting guerrilla warfare in the jungle south of Siam, and after listening to his words, Liao Mingyu nodded and understood the roughly. This Fang Jingyao was a little unexpected. I have read the lecture hall, and in 16 years, I have led soldiers to fight in the Protectorate War in the Yunnan Army. He is a rare talent.

However, now Siam has fully compromised with Japan and acted as a client state of the Japanese. I'm afraid that the life of these Nanyang guerrillas will become more and more difficult.

"I'm annoying, bring over all the Japanese-style weapons in our warehouse, along with the batch of 7.7 caliber weapons of the British, and sell all the guns to Mr. Fang at a lower price than the market price!"

Liao Mingyu thought for a while, and then generously instructed Meng Fu.

"I can't do it! Head Liao. Liao Mingyu's generosity once again won Fang Jingyao's favor, but he is not a person who knows good and bad.

"The spoils of your army were also won by a hard battle, how can I take advantage of you!"

"Don't worry, although our strength is not strong, the seven families have been operating in Nanyang for many years and have considerable financial resources. Compared to the road, this money aspect is really not worth mentioning. ”

"I know more or less the situation of the Sichuan Army, and it is not easy for you. Brother Meng, the guns will be counted by two percent more than the original market price, don't be polite to me, I will never change what I say. Hehe, if there are still arms to sell in the future, please don't forget about Fang Mou, head Liao. ”

Fang Jingyao snorted, and also showed his sincerity very magnificently. If they can take Liao Mingyu's path for a long time, then their arms will be guaranteed. Coupled with the admiration for Liao Mingyu, what's the harm in spending more money.

Although this equipment is still a little insufficient, it is better than nothing, right? You know, the guerrillas in southern Siam still used breech shotguns.

"Since Mr. Fang is so insistent, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate. I, Liao Mingyu, thank you here. I'm not going to tell you the truth, my troops have been having some trouble lately. This is the reason for this decision, you can rest assured, if there are any extra guns in the future, I will definitely contact you. ”

Liao Mingyu wants to do his part, but every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and his own troops are about to be unable to open the pot. Since the other party doesn't care about money, he is happy to accept it. To be polite, it looks hypocritical.

"Come on, remove the tea! Today I am going to have two drinks with Mr. Fang. ”

"Haha, Captain Liao is a lover of personality, and he has a certain appetite for the other party. Today, I will not get drunk with Captain Liao. ”

Fang Jingyao laughed, it can be seen that he is also a bold person.

"Sir, it's still ......" The hooked nose next to him gestured to Fang Jingyao without saying anything.

Fang Jingyao waved his hand: "Don't get in the way, Head Liao believes in me, and I can trust Head Liao." ”

A table of simple wine and food was quickly served, Liao Mingyu raised his wine glass and said to Jingyao: "Mr. Fang and I hit it off at first sight today, come, I toast you." ”

"!"

"Please."

Drink the glass in one gulp. Fang Jingyao put down the cup and said freely: "Hehe, if you call Mr. not Mr., it's weird." Head Liao, don't be polite, just call me Jingyao. ”

Liao Mingyu also had this intention: "Mr. Fang should be more than ten years older than me, junior brother, I am thirty years old this year, call you old brother don't mind, you don't want to be the head of the regiment, just call me by my name." ”

"Haha, where to say, it's my pleasure. Fang Mou is forty and two this year, but he is more than ten years old for you. However, Ming Yu was already a general when he was established, and he was really a dragon and phoenix among people! The future is limitless."

……

After a full meal, the two also deepened their impression of each other. Although Fang Jingyao is superficially gentle, he is also a man of temperament, and Liao Mingyu is also happy to make friends with him. I also learned a lot about Nanyang in my conversation with him, maybe... In the future, I will really use his resources.

The guns were quickly pulled over by Meng Annoying, and in addition to the Japanese-style weapons on the list, there were also more than 100 Lee Enfeld and more than 10 Bren light machine guns, as well as a batch of 7.7mm bullets.

The troops are about to be reequipped, and this batch of 7.7mm caliber weapons has become chicken ribs in their hands. It is better to take this opportunity to sell them all to Fang Jingyao and them.

Compared with Japanese-style weapons, Fang Jingyao and the others prefer British firearms, after all, it is easier to obtain British-style equipment in Nanyang.

In the end, the total number of guns was more than 32,000 oceans, and Fang Jingyao, the son-in-law, said very boldly that he would pay 35,000, which annoyed Meng and said that the head of the regiment drank this meal is really worth!

Fang Jingyao asked Hooknose Gui to find a group of his retinue, and they sent these weapons away in batches in an orderly manner. Because the ocean is inconvenient to carry, Fang Jingyao didn't bring too much this time, and after paying 15,000 yuan, Fang Jingyao replaced it with more than 300 small yellow croaker.

Looking at a large box of real money, Rao is Liao Mingyu couldn't help but look a little straight, not to mention a few Tie Hanhan next to him.

That little yellow croaker is a hard currency that is harder than the ocean. On the eve of the war, a small yellow croaker can be exchanged for 30 to 40 oceans, and in the past 42 years, one can even be exchanged for more than 60 oceans.

"Mingyu, that's it. I don't feel at ease with this batch of equipment on the road, and I have to personally escort it on the road to feel at ease. I'll leave a few people here as liaisons, and I'll just be in touch with them if I have anything. ”

Fang Jingyao said goodbye to Liao Mingyu. He was worried that something would happen sooner rather than later, and he wanted to escort the weapons back to the unit as soon as possible. They went down the Nu River into Siam, and when they arrived in Siam, they were picked up.

"The coming day is long, the next time I have the opportunity to come to Zenda, I will definitely have a good drink with you again. Leave! ”

"Brother Jingyao, take care! Be careful on the road. ”

Liao Mingyu nodded, and said goodbye to this arrogant old brother.
