Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 135: Canned Food for Cannons

The price of a German 150mm artillery piece is not cheap. It costs at least oceans to ship one piece to China, and each shell costs oceans.

"That's absolutely no problem. We can provide you with thirty guns, each equipped with a hundred rounds of ammunition. If the number continues to increase, I won't be able to make the decision. After all, we are still allies with the Japanese at this moment." Colonel Hans said, spreading his hands.

Although he was not very satisfied with this number, Mao Yuanshan knew that this was the limit of the Germans. Just as they said, they are still allies of the Japanese. If they continue to sell heavy artillery to China so unscrupulously, it would be embarrassing.

Some people may say that the Japanese may not know, but once these heavy artillery are pulled out and used on the battlefield, there are some experienced officers in the Japanese army who will quickly understand what models these artillery are. The Chinese definitely cannot manufacture such huge artillery now, so they must have been purchased from the Germans.

Although Germany was not afraid of the Japanese threat, since they were allies, they had to follow the agreement and would not break off relations unless it was absolutely necessary. In the subsequent transaction, the Germans doubled the number of shells without increasing the price, which was a disguised support for Mao Yuanshan's government. Of course, the Germans also had their own considerations. These artillery pieces could be used against the Soviets at any time.

After a simple lunch, both sides started to act separately. Colonel Hans had to go back to his country to arrange for people to receive the warships, and then arrange for the production of artillery. If there were any in the warehouse, they would be pulled directly here. What Mao Yuanshan had to do was to clear the transportation lines. Now he didn't have an outlet to the sea, and these artillery had to pass through the territory of the central government.

She knew the true colors of those people in the central government. They would take advantage of others and if there was no benefit, who knows where these artillery pieces would end up. She had no shortage of money but these heavy artillery pieces, so she had to give Hu Lian enough money so that he could deliver the artillery pieces as soon as possible.

In addition to this, the shipment must be arranged, and these warships must be sailed to the designated location.

The exchange location agreed by both parties was in the Yellow Sea. How to get there through Europe was still a problem. This was also one of the reasons why Mao Yuanshan did not ask for too much in this negotiation.

In fact, if the Germans are in urgent need of warships, they will definitely agree even if you ask for 600 million dollars.

But just like what Mao Yuanshan said, the Germans are their only customers now, so they can give them a slight discount. For the sake of long-term transactions in the future, they should not ask for too high a price this time.

This system also has a function that allows it to activate the teleportation function. Of course, the number of people teleported each time cannot exceed ten, and at the current stage the distance cannot exceed two thousand kilometers.

About a thousand clone soldiers who can drive warships have already gone there, so only nine guards will be needed this time.

Of course, the cost of transmission is also very expensive, just like this time it costs 100 million oceans, which is the price of one hundred Stuka bombers.

Although there are clone soldiers who can drive warships, they can only drive the ship to a place for fun. It is impossible to expect them to be like real navy. The system gives the answer. They can be trained. If you want to train them into a qualified navy, at least 5000 dollars will be needed for each person.

The German Navy needs at least 2000 people to drive these ten destroyers back, so it will take some time.

It is a good opportunity for the clone soldiers to take some ordinary soldiers to practice a little bit during this period of time. Because of the Japanese blockade, only about a few hundred people came over, but these few hundred people can also become a cradle of the Chinese Navy.

Recently, Mao Yuanshan has discovered several good functions of the system, such as the detection function.

It turns out that there were no coal mines in the Mongolian steppes as far as I can remember. Unexpectedly, with the help of the system, coal mines were discovered in these places. The reserves are not very large, only about 10 million to several tens of millions of tons, but they are buried relatively shallowly.

It cost Mao Yuanshan about 300 million oceans to purchase these coal mining equipment, but from the time they entered China to the time they were transported over, it cost 100 million oceans, a full 100 million oceans in surcharges.

Mao Yuanshan now has a new understanding of the central government's ability to skim off areas ruled by it. No matter what you want to transport over, whether it is something needed for the front line or not, these people will search it all. Even if you get the approval document from Prince Xiao Jiang, it will not be of much use.

It would be fine if they didn't know that this batch of stuff was ordered by the Chahar government. But if they knew, their ability to plunder would be enhanced several times. Now everyone in China knows that the Mao Yuanshan government has money. If it didn't have money, how could it have so many advanced weapons? That means you can definitely come up with the money.

Now the rest of China is extremely poor. Even if there is some money, it has been plundered and used for the war. It is so hard to make a fortune, so how can you miss this opportunity? Therefore, basically everything purchased by the Chahar government is subject to heavy taxes.

In the past, Mao Yuanshan argued with these people like a fool, but later he understood that no matter what use these things have, even if you use them to save your life, they will still take away your skin. Later, Wang Jincheng gave him an idea, don’t you have a lot of American canned food and Coca-Cola here? You can use these things as taxes to pay to the local warlords, and they will definitely be satisfied.

These local warlords are not fools, they certainly know the value of these things. Now the whole of China is short of various supplies, but those upper-class people still want to enjoy them, so they can only earn a part of the money from their hands, so these goods were immediately snatched up.

Just like the medium-sized generator currently used by the headquarters, its original value was 60 oceans. After arriving in China, it actually cost 5000 cans of American beef to be successfully transported from the seaside to here. This is quite a strange thing.

However, everyone in the headquarters knew that even if this was the case, it was still a good thing. If the Japanese really broke through the Yellow River defense line, it would be even more difficult to transport things over in the future.
