Chapter Twenty-Five: The First Business
"Heavy artillery? I remember my friend's factory, it seems that heavy artillery can't be produced! Liu Yuan suddenly thought of this question, and immediately wanted Yuan Xiuwen to explain.
"I'm afraid he doesn't, so what can I do? Once this is purchased separately, the price will be high! ”
Yuan Xiuwen's voice trembled a little when he spoke, he thought he could share his father's worries, but it turned out that he still had to purchase things from other powers, what a grievance!
"Let me ask the second son, what do you say you are buying heavy artillery for? a foreigner? ”
"How dare I fight with foreigners, it's good if people don't come to do it, and dare to fight foreigners, isn't this looking for death? I know in my heart how many pounds and taels I have! ”
"Then there is no need to purchase heavy artillery, the minimum fucking heavy artillery is 1.5t. to put it bluntly, it is 3000 catties, 3000 catties of heavy artillery is a problem in our country, ordinary mules and horses are useless, and special cars must be purchased to consign! Besides, we originally purchased so much artillery, and we were already invincible in the country, so why did you purchase heavy artillery? You can't use that thing at all, that thing is used to fight a national war, and if it is used to suppress bandits and maintain local law and order, ordinary artillery is enough! ”
Liu Yuan popularized the knowledge of military equipment to the two of them, in the military field, the two of them are illiterate!
Ignorance of military equipment!
I thought that the larger the caliber, the more powerful it was, but it was also heavy! How do I check it in? These need to be considered! Logistics is also part of fighting a war!
"Is that so? I asked my father if he had to buy heavy artillery, and if he agreed, I thought it would be fine! ”
"That's great! As long as this business can be successful, I don't want any of the shares, all of them belong to the second son, and it should be a gift to make friends with the second son! ”
"Well said, well said! Commander Liu, that's so kind! In that case, then I am disrespectful! Yuan Xiuwen said with a smug smile.
……………
On the way back for Yang Kuan and Yuan Xiuwen, the two rode in the same carriage.
"Childe, is it too polite to this person?" Yang Kuan broke the silence and asked.
"You don't understand! Now the great powers are preparing for a big war, and weapons from all countries will no longer be exported. Therefore, the arms on the market are more than twice as expensive as usual, and since he knows his arms dealer friends and can transport them here, it shows that his arms dealer friends not only have strength, but also have very great energy, otherwise they would not have radiated to the Far East! This kind of person can only be a friend, not an enemy! Uncle Yang, if you disagree with him in the future, try to accommodate him and don't have conflicts! ”
After hearing this, Yang Kuan immediately said: "Second son, don't worry, I know." ”
Looking at the carriage that was getting farther and farther away, Liu Yuan, who was still drunk just now, immediately recovered, and all the wine he drank was thrown into the system space by him, and now the system space is full of the smell of wine.
"Start the system warehouse!"
"Open!"

"According to the establishment of the imperial court, it takes 5 million points to purchase the equipment of three divisions, where can I find so much money."
When Yuan Shuwen returned to his residence, he immediately sent a telegram to his father in Kyoto, which contained nothing more than the right to purchase this batch of arms.
At first, Prime Minister Yuan was reluctant, but when Yuan Xiuwen promised that he could purchase arms at the lowest price, he quoted a price at random, so that the prime minister had to delegate his power to him, because this would save a lot of money! So that he can make up a few more divisions!
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the second young master came over.
"If you have something offended, don't bother, please Haihan, I won't say much when the situation is urgent, this is the procurement list!"
Liu Yuan took the list and looked at it: Damn!
It reads: "50,000 1888 commission rifles, 2,000 Makoqin heavy machine guns, 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition, 100 mortars, half each of 50mm and 60mm, 5,000 mortar shells!" 24 75mm field guns with 100 shells, 24 70mm mountain guns with 100 shells! 92 infantry guns 100 guns, 10,000 shells. ”
Yuan Xiuwen saw that Liu Yuan was a little unhappy, and just signaled to him that this was only the first batch of purchases, and there would be three more batches of purchases in the future, so that he could rest assured!
"In that case, take a look at our offer too!"
1888 Commission Rifle: The market price is 120 oceans a shot, we are 100 oceans a shot, you have checked 50,000 rods, that is about 5 million oceans.
Maxine machine gun: The market price is 5,000 oceans each, ours is 3,000 oceans each, and 2,000 units is 6 million oceans.
100 mortars: light mortars are about 10,000 oceans for one, which is another 1 million oceans.

The purchase of artillery is a total of 13 million oceans
This purchase is a total of 28 million oceans!
"General Liu, this is the artillery on the weapon list, it's still too expensive!" Yuan Xiuwen still felt that it was too expensive when he saw the offer.
"Second son, now all countries are preparing armaments to fight a big war to seize the world's resources. On the list, these weapons and equipment are worth at least 50 million oceans if they are put on the market, and my friend only sold them for half the price, just to make friends with the second son. In addition, I still have a 5% commission in it, and 1.35 million oceans are all owned by the second son, as long as the second son facilitates this deal! ”
"If you look at it that way, this deal isn't expensive?" The second prince asked with some doubts, but from the bottom of his heart, he had already agreed to the deal.
"It's not expensive!" Liu Yuan said affirmatively.
"Yes! Not expensive! Yang Kuan also echoed beside him.
"In that case! I'll send a telegram to my father right away, and as soon as he agrees, I'll trade it immediately! Pay with one hand, deliver with the other! The second son got up and said.
"Of course! As it should be! Liu Yuan immediately sent this son out.
Someone said, why not use the radio in the barracks, isn't that faster?
In fact, in his time, even if he used a civilian radio station, he would not use the radio station of the trading party, so it was easy to leak the news!
If the other party grasps its own information, and then trades, the other party changes the number casually, and the money we lose will be immeasurable!
In order to avoid walking messages, basically both parties to the transaction will have a backup radio station each.
