"Of course!"

Kong Jie couldn't have understood the potential value of the deposit drawings he had prepared.

John's excitement at the moment was all he expected.

"It's just, John, I don't think you saw it clearly, and this is only a third of the blueprints."

"In addition, no matter how much arms you send this time, I will pay you another price when it is handed over."

"As for the full version of this drawing, I think you know very well what it is worth, John, and it is difficult for me to promise you if there is not enough price."

John clenched the design drawings in his hand, which was only one-third, and nodded again and again: "Of course, Xu, don't worry, as long as you are willing to hand over this design drawing to me completely, I will definitely pay a price that satisfies you." ”

"Now let's talk, John, how many arms did you bring me this time?" Kong Jie asked.

John smiled apologetically and said: "Xu, after all, this is the first attempt, I am worried that it will arouse the suspicion of little Japan on the way, so I brought not much ammunition, only 200 M1917 rifles, 5 light machine guns, 2 heavy machine guns, 3 M2 60mm mortars, and 10 Springfield bolt-action sniper rifles, each rifle is equipped with 150 bullets of the corresponding caliber, the machine gun is equipped with 1000 rounds, and the mortar is equipped with a total of three base shells, a total of 180 rounds, There are also other types of guns, grenades, and the like. ”

The monk on the side secretly admired it, worthy of being the head of the regiment, and with the effort of moving his mouth, these Yankees sent such a large batch of equipment.

Kong Jie was not satisfied, "John, these arms are too far from the list I sent. ”

John hurriedly said: "Xu, please rest assured, next time I will definitely send you this batch of arms, even double, no, three times, as long as I can hide from the detection of small Japan, as long as the number of arsenals is enough, I will send it to you." ”

John was pleasantly surprised by Kong Jie's appetite.

Not only did he collect as much munitions as he could, but even the factories in China under his own name and the surrounding American businessmen, Kong Jie agreed to buy them without blinking.

Coupled with the potentially valuable design drawings sent by Kong Jie.

John is now afraid that his big money will run away.

As a result, the two had some discussions on the next cooperation, as well as the where, when, and how the first batch of arms sent over would be handed over.

After these discussions, Kong Jie suggested that there were some important matters to be discussed with John alone.

Jofus and the monk left the private room and waited outside the restaurant.

The secret conversation between the two lasted for more than 20 minutes before they walked out of the private room together, like old friends, put their arms on each other's shoulders, and talked and laughed.

In the end, both sides said goodbye and left.

……

After returning to the hostel, Jofus finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart and asked, "Boss, what is that drawing from before, and is it really of great value?" ”

John nodded and replied, "That's the design blueprint of a new submachine gun, the drawing itself is quite exquisitely designed, I can guarantee that with this drawing as a reference, this submachine gun will be produced smoothly." ”

Joeforth wondered, "Submachine gun? We have the best Thomson M1 submachine gun, isn't that enough? ”

John said: "The performance of the Thomson M1 submachine gun is very good, and it has always been favored by the troops, but its structure is too complex, the cost is very high, and the bulkiness of itself makes such a weapon not easy to sell, and it cannot supply troops in large quantities. ”

"But the design drawings of this submachine gun given by Mr. Xu, the designed submachine gun, have been specifically introduced in the first part of the design drawings.

The entire receiver is stamped with a steel pipe, and only the basic reentry machine, reentry spring, and chamber and firing pin need to be installed to form an improvised submachine gun, which also fires 11.43×23mm Colt pistol cartridges and is fed with a 30-round magazine.

It has a simple structure, strong and durable, and has strong reliability.

The performance in all aspects is not worse than that of the Thomson M1 submachine gun, and the most important thing is that it is low in cost, can be mass-produced, and can quickly supply a large number of troops. ”

What does this mean? This means that if we have a full set of design drawings for this submachine gun, we can completely monopolize the market for this low-cost submachine gun. ”

"Once a war breaks out in the future, this new submachine gun will become the standard for a large number of troops, which will not only help our motherland, but also bring us immeasurable wealth."

"So, while it's just a pile of drawings, the potential value is quite staggering."

"But what surprised me even more was that Mr. Xu could easily come up with such exquisite design drawings, and the wisdom of the Chinese is really unimaginable."

"In addition, Mr. Xu told me that he even has drawings of the Japanese Zero fighter in his hand, and it may not be of great benefit to us to obtain such drawings, but it is too important for our troops, which means that in future air operations, we can even rely on our familiarity with the structure and performance of the Japanese Zero aircraft to occupy absolute air superiority."

"Why not make a big deal with the military?"

Joeforth also sighed with emotion, "It's incredible, there are too many incredible things about Mr. Xu." ”

"Boss, what did Mr. Xu talk to you about later?"

John said: "This meeting and negotiation once again proves that Mr. Xu is by no means a simple businessman, his appetite is too great, not only our factories, arms, and even want to contact the communication equipment of some telecommunications companies through us." ”

"Now it is completely certain that the person who robbed the small Japanese bank and the vault outside the concession not long ago should be the man arranged by Mr. Xu, and he even has bearer bonds of many companies in his hands."

"Mr. Xu said that some of the bonds can be used as funds to buy factories and arms if I want."

"Boss, what do you decide to do?" Joeforth asked.

John thought about it, spread his hands helplessly, and replied, "What else can I do?" We don't have as much power as Mr. Xu, so we can't also learn to run and rob the bank vaults of the Japanese army, right? ”

"It has also proved that with the funds from those banks and coffers as the backing, Mr. Xu does have the financial resources to carry out the cooperation he promised with us."

"Then let's work with him, this is our big customer."

There were also some things that John didn't say, and it was a secret negotiation between him and Kong Jie.

……

……

On the other side, Kong Jie was also explaining to the monk.

After hearing this, the monk suddenly realized: "Regiment commander, it turns out that this small submachine gun has such great potential value, and it can even change the direction of a war, which is also amazing." It's just, are we really going to give this design drawing to those Yankees? ”

Kong Jie thought for a while, gave an example and said: "Monk, let me ask you, if you have a priceless treasure in your hand now, but you can't find a place to exchange it for money, the only thing you can see is a bun shop, at this time you are already hungry, if you don't eat again, you will even starve to death, I ask you, will you exchange this treasure for some buns to eat?" ”

The monk thought for a while and nodded: "I'm changing, everyone is dead, what's the use of asking for a baby?" ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "In the same way, even if we have this design drawing, we simply don't have enough technology and equipment to produce this submachine gun, let alone mass production, and this drawing can't play much value in our hands." ”

"So, it's better to exchange it for more benefits from the Yankees."

The monk nodded happily, "Leader, I understand." ”

As for the design drawings of the submachine gun that Kong Jie showed John, it was actually the Gad M3 submachine gun developed by the United States at the end of World War II.

Anyway, if Kong Jie doesn't give the drawings, the Yankees will develop them sooner or later.

The factories of the Eighth Route Army did not have this production capacity.

It's better to get it out in advance and get more benefits from the Yankees.

When the Pacific Theater broke out, he suddenly faced the Yankees who were equipped with a large number of M3 submachine guns, thinking about the little devil's stunned expression at that time, Kong Jie's heart was quite expectant.

In addition, with that series of coaxing, and some alarmist words, such as a merciful promise to John to buy from him the factories of American and British businessmen in China.

As if he had suffered a big loss, John had inherited a lot of favor from Kong Jie.

In fact, Head Kong had already been secretly happy in his heart.

He is actually taking advantage of the fire in disguise, but it is much better than the ugly appearance of the little devil.

When all the production plants of these American and British businessmen were acquired, the business channels of the Independent Regiment could be further expanded.

This was of great help in breaking the economic blockade of the Japanese army.

Of course, in order to ensure safety, to acquire the factories of these British and American businessmen in China and the subsequent operation and management, Kong Jie must have asked Soviet businessmen to come forward.

Anyway, the Soviet-Japanese neutrality treaty was signed, and the banner of the Soviet businessmen did not have to be used in vain.

Oh yes, the design drawings of the Gad M3 submachine gun that I promised to sell to John can also get another copy and sell it to the Soviets!

Anyway, it's all the same thing, our head Kong doesn't know what patent rights are not patent rights.

Near noon, the monk and Kong Jie returned to the base area smoothly, and even caught up with the lunch of the regiment headquarters.

Li Wenjie, who was waiting for news at the regiment headquarters, breathed a sigh of relief, and kept worrying about Kong Jie!

Seeing Kong Jie and the others returning with a spring breeze on their faces, Li Wenjie asked: "Regiment leader, looking at you like this, this time the past is quite smooth?" ”

Kong Jie laughed and said, "That's pretty smooth. Wen Jie, look at it, if this line goes smoothly, our independent regiment, and even the entire Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang base area, may undergo earth-shaking changes because of this. ”

Anyway, ignoring Li Wenjie's shock, Kong Jie's side immediately arranged a team, and according to the time agreed with John, he was ready to receive the first batch of arms and equipment sent by John.

The next morning, the equipment that was handed over at night arrived at the regimental headquarters compound smoothly.

Looking at the American-style equipment in this place, the eyes of the battalion and company commanders who heard the sound turned green.

"Good boy, regimental commander, this is the American Enfield M1917 rifle we saw on the picture, right?"

"According to the performance introduced in the book, this gun is much more powerful than the devil's 38 rifle, it can hit far, the performance is good, and the accuracy is higher, if we can all use this gun to fight the devil, then don't you beat the little devil to scream?"

Tao Shunmin, the commander of the seventh company, opened his mouth and said, he couldn't put it down and touched this and looked at that.

Thanks to military education within the Separate Regiment, various books were opened, and many were translated Japanese books, in which many weapons were introduced.

Therefore, the cadres are not unfamiliar with the American-style equipment in this place.

"Good guys, this is an American M2 60mm mortar! A lot of shells were also given, more than a hundred! This thing is much more powerful than the devil's grenadier, plus it is small in weight and powerful, and it is much lighter than our usual running around the mountains with a heavy 82mm mortar. ”

"This is too suitable for our cold artillery combat, as a hidden fire strike, a sneak attack on the past, and the little devil is not directly confused?"

"Oh my God, the scope of this sniper rifle is too exaggerated, it's bigger than a quadruple scope, right?"

In an exclamation, Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, stared at a unique shotgun that was not inconspicuous.

"American-style pump-action shotguns, almost invincible from 20 meters to 40 meters, are simply the king of close combat, and can even fire incendiary bombs, if you fight trench warfare, it is definitely the best weapon, a few incendiary bombs will be reimbursed to him!"

After the introduction, Shen Quan immediately sighed with emotion.

"Commander, you said that if our team can be equipped with such weapons, it will be his turn to be a little devil all these years?"

The cadres nodded in agreement, and then recalled the situation of weapons and equipment in the regiment a year ago, and their hearts were full of sorrow.

Kong Jie said: "I don't want to attack you, but the facts still have to let you know that these American-style weapons you see in front of you are weapons that are about to be eliminated by the Yankees, and they are even inconspicuous." ”

"The elite army units of the U.S. military are far more sophisticated than these standard weapons."

"The most we can get from the Yankees is these guns, but we have no way to do those real battlefield meat grinders, tanks, planes, and heavy artillery."

"Well, this is really more popular than people!"

Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, couldn't help but scold.

Kong Jie was relieved in turn: "Of course, fortunately, the equipment of our opponent is not much better. ”

"With these guns and equipment, it's enough to deal with little devils."

"More importantly, what kind of troops are using such weapons, and the same weapons are placed on different troops, and the power they exert is completely different."

"You just gave all the most advanced weapons of the United States to the national army, can they win this war?"

In the courtyard, the cadres were stunned for half a second, and then burst out with an echo:

"Regiment commander, what you said is too good, even if it is a little devil with millet plus rifles and aircraft cannons, we still can't make mistakes?"

"Why? Because we are the Eighth Route Army! ”

What proud words, the warriors all subconsciously straightened their chests and raised their heads......
