October 23, 1940, Qijiang County, Qijiang County Garrison Headquarters

"Admiral Chen, I haven't finished talking about this yet, I said that it was packaged and sold, and there are 1,000 TL37 combat passenger cars in the weapons package provided this time, each of which is 10,000 oceans, totaling 10 million oceans; 500 Fiat Lancia 626BL multi-purpose trucks, each 30,000 oceans, totaling 15 million oceans; 20,000 tons of ammunition of various types of country F, 5,000 oceans per ton, 10,000 oceans, 10,000 rounds of 7.62mm rifle ammunition, 5 million oceans; 100 million rounds of lead-headed black powder 7.62mm pistol bullets, totaling 3 million oceans, plus the previous ones, a total of 190.74 million oceans. After Wang Yue finished talking about this number, he was also shocked, this is not much, it is close to 200 million oceans.

"Mr. Wang, isn't this a bit much?" Admiral Chen was also hesitant in his heart, he had a larger transaction volume than one time, and when the news came out, the one from the Ministry of Finance was afraid that it would be time to blow up again.

"Not much, not much, mainly those F country ammunition, but don't worry, I've tried them all, and they're still very reliable." Wang Yue patted his chest and assured that originally, he wanted to sneak around and find a place to throw away those ammunition from country F, but this time, the use effect in the Gulf of Aden was very good, and the rate of mute fire was lower than that of the alliance's inventory, which made him confident in those ammunition again.

"Okay, that's no problem, I'll let people transport the worth of the jade rough over later." Admiral Chen was ruthless, and he responded, the current jadeite rough in his hand is enough, and taking the opportunity to eat more is the right way, but it is a pity that the follow-up jadeite rough cannot be mined on a large scale.

I don't know which bastard got in the way, but let the Britons know that the national army has two divisions that are mining across the border, and sent five Anglo-Burmese divisions to expel those two divisions.

"According to what we said before, this time it needs to be discounted, so you need to pay me 250 million silver dollars worth of jade rough stones, but in order to celebrate our cooperation this time, I will give the Ministry of Military Affairs another 2 million sets of old bedding, 2 million sets of old work clothes, 2 million sets of old cotton clothes, anyway, the Ministry of Finance allocated this thing to the military." Wang Yue said a little teasingly, he also wanted to give more, but Zhao Gang's dyeing ability was indeed limited, and he had only saved two million sets of yellow overalls so far.

"Let Mr. Wang see the joke." Admiral Chen was a little embarrassed by Wang Yue, this is all a bad thing made by the Ministry of Finance, it is said that those high-quality sulfonamides have been sold by these guys at sky-high prices, and even the sulfonamides released by the Eighth Route Army to stabilize the market have been snapped up by them, which really makes everyone see the joke.

"It's okay, when the water is clear, there are no fish, I still understand this truth." Wang Yue waved his hand gently, since the Republic of China, where are there any clean officials, those officials who have a good evaluation in history are actually the same, but they are relatively better, that fat man is insatiable, but he has persevered in the War of Resistance for eight years, and if he is an uncle of the country, it is estimated that he is not as good as a fat man.

"Mr. Wang, the Air Force is very interested in the training planes and fighters you provide to the Eighth Route Army, and also hopes to purchase a batch, do you think?" Admiral Chen tentatively asked: Didn't Li Yunlong organize a military exercise before, and during the exercise, the training planes and fighters of the air force performed very well, which made everyone's eyes shine, and Commander Zhou of the Air Force made up his mind to buy a batch of them, and for this reason, he also approached the highest authority several times in a row.

"No problem, we have a gentleman's agreement, as much as the Eighth Route Army buys, you can all buy double copies, right, forty P-39 fighters, the unit price is 100,000 oceans, a total of 4 million oceans, 40 training aircraft, the unit price is 30,000 oceans, a total of 1.2 million oceans, plus spare parts and supporting maintenance equipment, a total of 5.5 million oceans, I want cash for this." Wang Yue is happy in his heart, Tasha got him 770 P-39 fighters before and after, squeezing a lot of his funds, it is naturally good to sell more, but he is very skeptical, the government buys hundreds of F fighters after there are still enough pilots, just like the Eighth Route Army, after the Battle of Beiping, they have been in a state of more fighters than people, this situation has not been solved until now, for this reason, ten training planes were also transferred from Li Yunlong to northern Shaanxi, It is said that a thousand pilots will be recruited at once.

"Five and a half million oceans?" General Chen also had a headache when he heard the word cash, don't look at the Minister of Military Affairs who is in charge of the 6 million army, but he really can't come up with this money, but if he wants to ask the Ministry of Finance for money, he has to go through the highest authority, anyway, he himself will definitely not be able to pay for it.

"If there is no ocean, give gold, it doesn't matter, two and a half tons of gold is fine, and I support the war of resistance by a fraction!" Wang Yue said very casually that the exchange rate of gold and silver fluctuated greatly during World War II, and here for the convenience of calculation, the exchange rate was framed at two million oceans to one ton of gold.

"There's no problem, I'll figure out a way to do this, and one more thing is that the government wants to purchase a batch of field rations, I don't know if it's okay?" General Chen inquired that at the strong request of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Finance finally relented and distributed part of the food expenses directly to Dayang, and General Chen, who had a little money in his hand, thought of hoarding a little field rations to deal with emergencies.

"Oh, I don't know which ration the Ministry of Military Affairs wants, and how much does it need?" Wang Yue was a little surprised, but he was still a little relieved in his heart, no matter what, the old men of the Ministry of Military Affairs still wanted the soldiers to eat better, and according to the current situation, the situation was definitely good.

"D meals, 10 million servings!" Admiral Chen was ruthless and said.

"It's a lot, generally a two-cent ocean, a total of one ton of gold, this is really a little tight at the moment, and I will gradually open up the physical value in the future." 10 million copies is indeed not much on the base of 6 million troops, but such a large number must be prepared for ordinary soldiers, and buying the cheapest one also means that it is not prepared to engage in differential treatment, which is indeed progressive.

"Can it be cheaper?" Admiral Chen suddenly felt that it was a bit expensive, and he could buy a lot of fish in this portion, although the price of fresh fish in Qijiang County had risen, it was still very cheap.

"Admiral Chen, it's not expensive, really, but I can call the shots and send another 10 million catties of fishmeal, but only this once, not as an example." After Wang Yue left the Gulf of Aden, he rarely sent seafood to the side in 1940, and the price of fish in the mountain city had long exceeded the price of grain, and 10 million catties of fishmeal was not cheaper than 10 million servings of rations.

"Okay, that's it!" Admiral Chen also knows that Qijiang County uses those fishmeal to feed pigs and chickens, but anyway, fishmeal is better than black beans.

"Admiral Chen, if you still have any needs for weapons in the future, you can come to me at any time." Wang Yue made a rough calculation in his heart, and before he knew it, he had saved 71 tons of gold, and he could be regarded as a rich man in any world.

"Mr. Wang, the Ordnance Industry Agency hopes to purchase some raw materials, you see?" Admiral Chen hesitated for a moment and said, Wang Yue is an arms dealer, and the purchase of raw materials by the Ordnance Industry Department must have a conflict with Wang Yue's business, originally he didn't want to speak, but the transportation volume of the Yunnan-Burma Highway is far from meeting the needs of the Ordnance Industry Bureau.

"Buy raw materials? The raw materials are not cheap, and the things I make are not as cheap as what I sell. Wang Yue was surprised.

"But in the end, it is more stable to produce by yourself." Admiral Chen replied.

"But don't you have to import raw materials for your own production? Even those weapons that don't import raw materials are also very wasteful? As far as I know, the weapons produced by the Ordnare Industry Department are far worse than they were before the war. "Wang Yue also figured it out after he came to this world, the Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army used steel rails to make gun barrels, and the Shancheng government was actually similar, after losing almost all of the large steel facilities, the arsenal in the rear was also unable to produce qualified barrels, and because of the simplification of the process, a rifle would often be scrapped after a thousand rounds of ammunition.

"Mr. Wang, I also know that those people in the Ordnance Industry Department are not doing a good job, but they still have to maintain the weapons manufacturing and research and development team, Huaxia is a big country after all, although-" General Chen also knew what Wang Yue meant, there was an accident in Wanxian last week, and there was a big explosion in the factory where the Ordnance Industry Department produced grenades, the reason is that the black powder used for loading is too flammable, and it was ignited by static electricity during the loading process, if it is yellow explosives, there will be no such problem, but even yellow explosives need to import detonators separately.

"Admiral Chen, I have to say that there are still some far-sighted people in the Ministry of Military Affairs, you can give me a list of what you need when the time comes, and I will help you find it as much as possible, but there is no guarantee that you can buy it." Wang Yue nodded, no matter how the actual operation is, at least Admiral Chen is in the right direction, and they can't just ask all the raw materials to be produced by themselves, but a little bit of effort, a little bit of progress is still very important, if the military industry is completely abandoned, what if foreign aid is completely cut off?

"There is also the fact that the Ordnance Industry Administration is very interested in the 140mm mortars of the Eighth Route Army, and also hopes to obtain a batch of kits and raw materials." Admiral Chen continued, the Eighth Route Army has spread the 140mm mortar out of Jin Province, although it is not a direct-fire gun, but thanks to its huge power, it is not too ferocious to fight the devil, and then in the northern Henan region, it has even created a record of killing a squadron of devils with one cannon, and the national army is hot-eyed.

The Ordnance Industry Administration also got one back, and found that it was not too simple, they could also build it, but if you looked closely, they couldn't make it, whether it was a seamless steel pipe gas tank or fertilizer sugar, it needed to be imported.

"No problem!" What Wang Yue thought in his heart was that the spread of this thing would never stop here, and he believed that it would not be long before this thing appeared on more battlefields.

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