Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

Jiang Feng on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. Adjutant Tan was only a major. He originally thought that the other party was just here to test the waters, but he didn't expect that he had the power to make the decision!

Xu Le put down the water cup, extended his thumb and pinky finger and said, "It's a flat price. A Lee Enfield rifle is 60 yuan, a ZB26 machine gun is 150 yuan, a Type 1000 heavy machine gun is 1 yuan, and a Bofors mountain cannon is yuan. Of course, the free ammunition I just mentioned is included!"

Upon hearing the price, Adjutant Tan showed a look of pain on his face. It was not that the price was too high, but the normal market price, and even more cost-effective.

Nowadays, the price of a Hanyang machine gun is about 40 oceans, and the price of an imitation Czech machine gun is about 100 oceans!

He also felt that the Type 8 heavy machine gun was sold at a low price. As for the Bofors artillery, the National Guard had previously purchased it from abroad for yuan each.

He even felt like he might have heard it wrong!

"Hey, are you serious, Marshal? Is it really this price? And you also give away bullets and shells?"

"That's right. We are all members of the Tang army, defending our territory. I can't ask for an exorbitant price, otherwise I'd be no different from a traitor!"

My quotation is low, you may think you have made a profit, but I will never lose money, and even make hundreds of times the profit!

"Well, Marshal! Is the Bofors mountain gun really only 1 dollars? Marshal, don't get me wrong. We are all soldiers. I might as well be honest with you. The Bofors mountain gun we bought is not as good as yours. It costs 8 dollars to buy one, and the shells are not included!"

This is the first time in business that the buyer raises the price himself.

Adjutant Tan really found it too unbelievable. With such a cheap price, he would never believe that there was no other conspiracy behind it!

It’s a pity that he thought too much, Xu Le had no other plans!

"Adjutant Tan, my young marshal is a lieutenant general of the National Guard. Even if your regiment commander comes, he has to salute respectfully and call him sir. Is there any need to fool a major like you?"

Jiang Feng scolded with a cold face, thinking that Adjutant Tan was disrespectful.

Adjutant Tan also suddenly came to his senses. He had been thinking from the perspective of a buyer and a seller from the beginning to the end, but he forgot that Xu Le in front of him was a member of the National Guard just like himself, and was even a lieutenant general.

He and several colleagues beside him immediately straightened up and saluted: "I'm sorry, sir, I was reckless!"

Xu Le waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. We are doing business now. You are the first customer. Otherwise, I would not come to see you in person! I wonder if Adjutant Tan has made up his mind whether to buy my weapons or not?"

Adjutant Tan still didn't dare to put his hand down: "Sir, this matter is beyond my expectation. I can only order 500 rifles, 50 light machine guns and 10 heavy machine guns first. As for the artillery, the amount is too large. I need to go back and discuss it with the regiment commander!"

Xu Le nodded: "Okay, but let's make it clear first, you come to get the arms yourselves, and it's up to you whether you can bring them back intact! By the way, rifles and light and heavy machine guns can only be accepted in US dollars or gold bars. Artillery can only be accepted in iron of equal value."

Xu Le really wanted to have all the steel, but the army needed money to buy food and various daily necessities, and also to pay military salaries and bonuses.

The Tang Dynasty was rich in various resources, but the mining conditions were poor, so the output of iron ore was always low. At that time, one dollar could buy about 10 kilograms of pig iron, and only 2 kilograms of steel at most.

[No matter what the fictional world is, everything is subject to the settings in this book! ]

The system does not distinguish between the components of iron, whether it is pig iron or steel, it treats them equally.

Adjutant Tan was overjoyed again. Although the artillery only cost 1 oceans, their regiment could not afford to buy several of them. If they used iron, it would be much better.

"I will report your words to the captain truthfully. Can we trade now?"

"Okay, please hand over the specific matters to the people in the logistics department!" After giving the last sentence, Xu Le turned around and left.

The military ranks are not equal. He finally became a general above thousands of people. Even if he has to pretend, he has to pretend to be so!

On that day, Adjutant Tan signed a purchase agreement on behalf of the 358th Regiment and the 176th Division of the Shanxi Army, with a total value of 50 oceans, and also paid large yellow croakers as a deposit.

[Small gold bars are small yellow croakers, 50 grams, exchanged for 20 dollars. Large gold bars are large yellow croakers, 500 grams, exchanged for 200 dollars! ]

The first arms deal of the 177th Division has been finalized!

"System, exchange all the trucks and motorcycles in the space for military merit points!"

Watching the vehicle disappear from the space system on his personal panel, Xu Le gave a monkey-like grin.

These vehicles were damaged during combat, and he didn't want to repair them, wasting time and energy. Moreover, he looked down on the Japanese trucks, which had poor performance and small load capacity!

It would be better to exchange them for military merit points to buy trucks produced by the system, which is much more cost-effective!

"Ding, exchange successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining military merit points!"

Personal panel:

Host: Xu Le

Military Merit Points:

System space: Homemade 75mm mountain cannon [2], shells [28]; Lee Enfield rifle [3400], bullets [ ].

"Great, we are finally back to where we started!"

Afterwards, he took out all the things in the space. The troops already had a base and would not move in the short term.

Moreover, he believed that as long as the first order was successful, there would be continuous orders afterwards, and all these weapons would be sold out in no time!

然后他又兑换了100挺ZB26轻机枪、50挺九二式重机枪、20门博福斯山炮、20门九二式步兵炮。

又兑换了7.7口径的步枪弹70万发，7.92毛瑟步枪弹10万发，鬼子的7.7有坂子弹5万发，75毫米榴弹1000枚。

The military merit points dropped drastically.

"Luckily the ammunition was almost free, otherwise I would have gone to my grandma's house!"

The Type 92 infantry gun is very suitable for the current situation of the troops, and it is also expensive, so it is not for sale to the public for the time being!

.....

Adjutant Tan was also very efficient and returned again in 5 days. Because they had to pass through the enemy-occupied area, Qiao Zhuang dressed up as businessmen and there were more than 200 of them.

He also brought the balance, 138 large yellow croakers.

In addition, they contacted several nearby merchants and secretly purchased 50 tons of pig iron.

Their troops have pig iron and even steel, but if they are brought from the troops, they will be too big and easily attract the attention of the Japanese.

They certainly could have bought more iron than this. 10 tons of iron could buy a Bofors mountain cannon, and they could have bought a total of 5.
