Rebirth of the National Marshal

Before the general went out, he chatted with Hu Lian for a few more words. General Zhao also knew that everyone has desires. It is impossible for Captain Mao to give him so many weapons for no reason. Even if it was to express his respect for the soldiers who fought in the Great Wall War of Resistance, he would not use so many things. After talking to Hu Lian for a few words, he understood that this man had his eyes on the position of Chief of the Beijing Police Department.

General Zhao also knew the current Director Ma. He had no good feelings towards the pro-Japanese Director General Zhao. Although Captain Mao had a bad record in the past, he has proved with facts in the past few days that he is here to fight the Japanese, not to waste time. Besides, so many weapons were produced today, and if the 29th Army wants to replace its equipment in the future, it still has to rely on him. This is just the position of police chief, which can't cause any trouble. Even if he has the support of the central government behind him, they can't make the decision here. The 29th Army still has the final say here.

When leaving the house, Mao Yun shook Hu Lian off. He knew that Hu Lian must have had no good intentions when he came to him, and he just wanted to buy weapons. Originally, the people in the central government looked down on the weapons in his hands, but as soon as he made a quotation, those people must have their own plans in mind. Although they could also imitate some German weapons, the quality of their products was too far from the original ones. If other products had a small quality problem, you could ignore it, but this was a weapon, a sharp weapon to kill the enemy on the battlefield. If there was something wrong, you might lose your head. Since the price of imported original goods was almost the same as that of imitations, why not buy some original goods? The quality was reliable, and the weight of victory would be more in your favor when fighting.

It's not that Mao Yuanshan doesn't want to quickly expand his arms trade, but he only has a few merit points now, and he still needs to expand his team and do business with the 29th Army. Although the central government's arms are tight, it is not as tight as the 29th Army. Things have their priorities, so he should finish this deal with the 29th Army first.

Tonight, it was not only Commander Song's home that was not peaceful. Several senior officials of the central government also received the news that a security captain in the capital actually had German-made weapons in his hands, and in quite a few of them, and the price was super cheap. This made them think hard. You know, the most elite army in the central government is called the German-equipped division because they are equipped with all German-made weapons. If Germany stopped selling weapons to China, they could equip more German-equipped divisions, which would greatly improve their combat effectiveness. This army would be a powerful weapon both internally and externally.

The central government cannot influence the German government’s foreign policy, but it can ask the security captain in the capital to sell a large number of weapons to itself, which is also very important for improving its own strength.

It was already late at night when Mao Yuanshan returned to the security team. The place had been almost cleaned. The local residents came voluntarily to clean the place. They knew that the people here had fought a fierce battle with the Japanese, so they helped the security team build some necessary facilities without any compensation.

When Mao Yuanshan came back, he saw the security team members still on guard as if they were facing a great enemy, so he immediately asked them to go back to sleep. Of course, the security team members did not know how many troops the Japanese devils had in the capital, but Mao Yuanshan knew very well that from now until 1937 it would basically be a peaceful period. There would be constant small frictions everywhere, but there would basically be no major movements. This would give him time to develop well. As for the space for development, that would depend on the results of the 29th Army's discussion tonight.

Monkey also brought back an important piece of news, that is, the leader of the Green Gang in the capital wanted to talk to Captain Mao.

In some documents that were declassified in later generations, Mao Yuanshan knew clearly the status of the Qing Gang in this society and some of their methods. It can be said that many things that the central government could not do could be done by the people of the Qing Gang. They had infiltrated every corner of the society. For Mao Yuanshan, who lacked sources of information, the Qing Gang was an important partner and he must attend tomorrow's meeting.

"I'm surprised you're so determined that you even quit smoking opium. From today on, you will be the eyes and ears of our security team. You must collect all the information, no matter it's useful or useless." Mao Yuanshan has seen Monkey's efforts in the past few days. Now he lacks such a person. Intelligence work is the top priority. He doesn't have any capable people at hand, so he might as well train Monkey.

"Don't worry, captain. No matter what happens in this city, I, Monkey, will know. If there is anything you want to know, I will go through fire and water to find it out for you." The boy quickly expressed his loyalty to Mao Yuanshan. He also realized that his captain would definitely not be a small security captain, but would have a bright future. As long as he followed him well, he might become a general or a prime minister.
