Wang Yue still underestimated the stimulation of the big pipe to the Ministry of Military Affairs, because on the evening of the same day, a platoon of air force gendarmes was stationed in Qijiang County, not to grab the artillery, the reason why people rushed here in a hurry was to assist the provisional 68th Division to immediately conceal the two cannons, and at the same time strengthen air defense, because according to the feedback from the military command investigation department, the Japanese spies had already passed on this information, and the Ministry of Military Affairs judged that the devils were very likely to launch an air attack to destroy these two artillery.

Early the next morning, General Chen of the Ministry of Military Affairs came to Qijiang County in person, briefly condolences to Li Yunlong and then ran to visit the two heavy guns, for these two B-4 M1931 203 mm heavy howitzers, that is not inferior to Li Yunlong and the three, look at that, if this gun is not Li Yunlong's, General Chen will definitely immediately pull the cannon away, regardless of whether you bought it yourself or not, such a militaristic weapon is what you can have as a C division? Do you know that the devil's division is now equipped with about 30 75mm guns?

Subsequently, General Chen also took a group of officials from the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Finance to visit the provisional 68th Division and observe the training of the troops, especially the training of artillery and armored troops. And what did you say about the M1938 type 120mm mortar of that regiment?

As for the tank battalion? Do you think it's Europe? 12 Valentine tanks, 24 T38 amphibious reconnaissance tanks, you can fool a tank battalion here in the Ministry of Military Affairs, and you bastard Li Yunlong, what are you doing with the T38 amphibious reconnaissance tank drill across the Qijiang River? The north of Qijiang County is the Yangtze River, what is the north side of the Yangtze River? That's the capital, you have a B-17.5 howitzer that can hit 17.5 kilometers, and a T38 amphibious reconnaissance tank that can cross the Yangtze River, uh, well, and a few advanced boats, which already have the initial ability to attack the capital, okay?

Nima, last night, the principal called himself to the Huangshan Mansion and talked for more than two hours, just to let himself avoid irritating you while suppressing you Li Yunlong next, this is a contradictory instruction is good, to put it bluntly, I am afraid of your kid's provisional 68th Division, if it weren't for your Li Yunlong's ability to save the driver, the principal wants to set a model for the army leaders below, and the provisional 68th Division will now be transferred to the front line in Hunan Province.

But no matter how angry you are, the negotiations with the Eighth Route Army on the purchase of weapons and equipment will continue, you have advanced weapons, as long as you are willing to sell them to the government, the government may have such and such problems, but compared with the Eighth Route Army, there is one thing that you can't compare, that is, the government has money, although only half of the country is left, but the financial resources are not comparable to the Eighth Route Road.

But the negotiations with Zhao Gang lasted less than five minutes and encountered a problem, the old M1910 type 122mm howitzer, you actually dare to ask for 100,000 oceans, 100,000 oceans, that is not legal currency, that is the ocean, the Hans 150mm howitzer purchased by the government is only 100,000 oceans, I admit that the price of arms has risen, and I also admit that it is not easy to transport, but a M1910 type 122mm howitzer is 100,000 oceans, is it a bit too shameless, it is an old artillery during the First World War

But what General Chen didn't expect was that several officials of the Ministry of Finance actually agreed after talking to each other for a while, and Lao Tzu's emotions were brewing in vain, but several officials of the Ministry of Finance explained a little General Chen also understood, because the Eighth Route Army once again reduced the proportion of cash payment, promising that as long as the government provides 10% of the total amount of gold as a deposit, it can be used to offset the rest of the part in kind, and also expanded the scope of physical discount, especially adding some special products of Sichuan Province, such as aquamarine, chrysoberyl, Beryl, garnet, tourmaline, southern red agate, salt source agate, Longxi jade, Ya'an green, peach blossom jade, Shu crystal are all added, although the price is not high, but the problem is that these things are special products of Sichuan Province, easy to obtain, for the government, it consumes some cheap labor, it is not much money.

And then they still send shells, right? Two hundred shells for one cannon, that's tens of thousands of oceans, and for the national army, artillery shells are much more expensive than artillery. Coupled with the freight, loss or something, after calculating it, several officials of the Ministry of Finance felt that this was simply not too suitable, so they couldn't wait to agree to this price, which made General Chen angry.

But soon, these officials of the Ministry of Finance were bitter-faced, because the Eighth Route Army actually gave a package price, 300 artillery pieces, 60,000 shells, and required the Ministry of Military Affairs to buy this batch of artillery at one time, which means that just a deposit, the Ministry of Finance will have to pay an additional 3 million oceans worth of gold, which is still the deposit for the first transaction.

This time, it was General Chen's turn to be decisive, three hundred heavy artillery pieces, it must be no problem, the national army is really short of artillery, hundreds of divisions of troops, a division may not even have an artillery company on average, and some of them are simply not easy to use, you can supplement three hundred heavy artillery at one time, it must be a good thing, no matter, buy it, you must buy it, as for the funds may be tight? You go to the principal and explain.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Gang listed the types of tanks that could be provided to General Chen, and the Valentin tank was sold for 100,000 oceans, and 240 tanks were sold in a package, not just for sale. T38 amphibious reconnaissance tank, 50,000 oceans one, 120 units for sale. T27 tanks, 30,000 oceans one, 600 units for sale. This series of numbers almost scared General Chen to death, knowing that your Eighth Route Army's weapon channels are powerful, but is it already so powerful? There are almost 1,000 tanks coming and going, you tell me, does the Japanese army invading China have 1,000 tanks?

The firepower of the 76.2mm tank gun can almost defy the heroes, and the thickness of the front armor can also be immune to the vast majority of the Japanese attack, as for the rear and side armor is too thin, in General Chen's opinion, this is not a problem at all, but it can effectively deter the troops from escaping, which is absolutely beneficial and harmless.

T38 amphibious reconnaissance tank, this is also a good thing, the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, this kind of tank is simply not too suitable, what you want is the incomparable passability, and the most important thing is that Li Yunlong has a lot of this kind of tank in his hands, if the Ministry of Military Affairs does not have an absolute advantage in the hands of the T38 amphibious reconnaissance tank unit, it will definitely not work, so it must also be bought!

General Chen's most tangled is the T27 light tank, this tank has weak firepower, thin armor, slow speed, and the shortcomings can be said to be a basket, but there are many advantages, light weight, good passability, relatively low fuel consumption, and the most important thing is that it is cheap, 30,000 oceans sounds like a lot, but in fact, according to the algorithm of those guys in the Ministry of Finance, it is really fragrant, 600 tanks, enough to strengthen a tank company of 12 tanks for all the descendants, and you can also cooperate with those Valentin tanks to form several armored assault regiments, Strengthening the assault capabilities of the troops, the war in Europe has shown that the assault of armored clusters is the template for future wars.

Bought! Isn't that 48 million oceans combined? Buy it, don't hesitate, just buy it! At this time, the people in the Ministry of Finance are already crying, Boss, don't play like this, although these still need to be submitted to the top for approval, but where will the one above care whether the Ministry of Finance has money in his hands, you have decided to buy it, and the one above must agree.

Next, under General Chen's expression of wanting to speak several times, Zhao Gang finally threw out the B-4 M1931 203mm heavy howitzer, 500,000 oceans, each with 100 rounds of blasting grenades, 24 packaged for sale, and if you buy shells in the future, one big yellow croaker will be one.

For this price, although General Chen has a toothache, he doesn't think it's too outrageous, this kind of heavy artillery is not something you can buy with money, he understands the B-4 M1931 203mm heavy howitzer, and he tentatively asked the northern powers at that time, but people don't care about you at all, this thing is said to be the favorite of Comrade Steel, the mainstay of the alliance army, the output is not high, and there are dozens of doors a year, but Zhao Gang is good, as soon as he opens his mouth, there are 24 guns, 24 guns, according to the establishment of the national army, you can form two artillery brigades.

After a little thought, I made up my mind and bought it! After this village, there is no such shop, you have to buy it! The most important thing is that the principal has a clear explanation, we must avoid weapons from flowing into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, how to prevent weapons from flowing into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, I can only buy them on my own side.

In General Chen's view, the power that sells these weapons must have an upper limit of ability, and the current number must be the maximum capacity of the other party, and the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be able to eat such a huge number, so it will test the government's financial strength.

As for the Eighth Route Army's price difference, General Chen is not worried, as for the other party's wants, even if you give it to the Eighth Route Army, it is not easy to make a move, now is the war period, weapons and living materials are the most precious, jewelry rough stones, cherish wood or something, who wants it, as for antique calligraphy and painting, it is even more of a joke, except for a small number of fine products, the others can be sold to one-tenth of the pre-war is amazing.

After getting the B-4 M1931 203mm heavy howitzer, General Chen felt that it was about the same, but he didn't expect Zhao Gang to add another item - rifles, second-hand Mosin Nagant rifles M1891 rifles, a total of 30,000 pieces, plus 10 million rifle bullets, a total of 10 million oceans. Or sell it in a package, not just sell it.

General Chen is not calm again, in recent years, there are a lot of rifles in the materials purchased from the loan of the northern powers, but because the air force occupies a large share of transportation, there are not many rifles that can be transported to the country, in 1939, only 50,000 Mosin Nagant rifles M1891 rifles were shipped, which is not enough to make up for the gap of domestic rifles, and the rest must be purchased and supplemented from Europe and the United States through the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and 300,000 rifles at once can almost make up for the rifle gap of the main force of the national army.

Second-hand? What's wrong with the second-hand, Mosin Nagant rifle M1891 rifle he also used, that thing is different from domestic rifles, the steel mouth is particularly good, the accuracy will not be reduced for many years, even if it is a second-hand rifle, the quality will not be inferior to the domestic rifle, and the price is too fragrant, lower than the price of self-produced rifles, and domestic rifles, since the withdrawal to the rear, the barrels of many rifles are made of rails, and the quality is indescribable.

No surprises, bought! In the end, I calculated the price, a total of 10,000 oceans, Rao is General Chen was a little frightened, 10,000 oceans, just spent so easily, but when I thought that the combat effectiveness of the national army would be greatly improved after the arrival of these weapons, I didn't feel that there was anything, the country was like this, what was the money?

Of course, there are also conditions attached to this deal, which are as follows:

1. After confirming the details of the transaction, the Ministry of Finance needs to pay a 10% deposit in the form of gold as soon as possible.

2. Due to the huge quantity and variety, this order will be delivered in 12 installments, and the payment for each installment must be settled in time after delivery, without delay, otherwise the transaction will be frozen.

3. In order to facilitate the transportation of materials, the Ministry of Military Affairs will hand over a wharf along the Yangtze River in the north of Qijiang County to the Qijiang County Garrison Command for management, and at the same time, the Ministry of Military Affairs will station a military police platoon at the wharf to be responsible for supervision.

4. The transaction is guaranteed by the Eighth Route Army, and the premise of the guarantee is that the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the authorities is harmonious, if the supplier judges that the relationship between the two parties is at risk, the transaction will also be frozen, the deposit will be withheld, and the follow-up ammunition will no longer be provided.

5. The Qijiang County Garrison Command will assume responsibility for public security in the Qijiang River Valley, and the Ministry of Military Affairs will come forward to solve the corresponding problem of overlapping management.

6. The Qijiang County Garrison Command is allowed to suppress bandits within the territory of Qijiang County, but the size of the troops mobilized must not exceed one company, and it must be accompanied by personnel sent by the county party headquarters.

7. The quality and price of all the materials for the transaction shall be jointly determined by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Eighth Route Army before they can be finally confirmed.

8. For the subsequent purchase of weapons and equipment, the Eighth Route Army needs to report to the Ministry of Military Affairs in a timely manner, and at the same time allow the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Eighth Route Army to enjoy the same purchase qualifications.

9. The provisional 68th Division is allowed to recruit troops locally in Qijiang County to meet its 12,103 C-type division posts, but this number shall not be exceeded.

In this way, Wang Yue's first nine-figure order after coming to time and space in 1940 was preliminarily finalized, if you want to say that these weapons, he can deliver them in a month or two, the reason why it is delayed for a year is that I don't want the other party to be too frightened, and at the same time to avoid the next crisis, as for what the crisis is, I won't go into detail here, they are all siblings, and it's okay to calculate it at ordinary times, but it's not good to fight life and death.

Some people died, but not completely......
