Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 34 Military Arms Procurement (4)

General Zhao and Captain Zhao looked at each other helplessly. It was not even ten o'clock in the morning and they had to go in to drink. If this got out, the reputation of the 29th Army would not be very good. However, we Chinese have such a habit, eating, drinking and talking at the same time, and if we can get a lot of people together at the table, then the thing we want to talk about will definitely be concluded.

The hotpot was authentic pickled cabbage and pork, with four cold dishes and two bottles of the best corn cake. The wine was not good, but it was just right for these soldiers. They didn't want to talk about things with a red wine glass, as that was too inconsistent with their temperament. They should drink this kind of spicy wine.

"How about it, two brothers, are you, the top leaders of the 29th Army, satisfied with the price I offered? How much arms do you want to buy this time? I made a promise to the Germans that I want large quantities." Mao Yuanshan poured wine for the two men.

"We are of course very satisfied with the price you offer, but you are also aware of the situation of our 29th Army. There is probably no army in the whole country that is poorer than us, and no army that needs weapons more than us. Now the Japanese devils are at the gates of the city, but each of our soldiers does not even have one weapon. We have encountered such a good opportunity, and you can't find such a cheap price anywhere else in the country. Of course, we will take out all our assets to buy weapons." General Zhao said with a smile. In today's society, whoever has a gun in his hand has the right to speak. If you don't have a weapon, the soldiers under you will not be willing to follow you.

"This time we want 3000 Mauser rifles, 1000 Mauser pistols, 200 Czech light machine guns, 100 Maxim heavy machine guns, 500 million bullets of various types, 50 Type 1000 mortars, and 29 artillery shells." After General Zhao said these numbers, Mao Yuanshan was also surprised. It was said that the th Army had no money, but the price of these weapons was definitely an astronomical figure.

The monkey on the side didn't have time to listen to the superiors chatting. After hearing General Zhao's numbers, he quickly started to calculate.

毛瑟步枪是100块大洋一只,这样要3000只的话就是30万大洋,毛瑟手枪是80块大洋一只要1000只的话就是8万大洋,200个捷克式轻机枪就是6万大洋,100个马克沁重机枪就是8万大洋,这么多的子弹和炮弹加起来也将近20万大洋了,总共要72万大洋的。

This is because Mao Yuanshan has not seen much of the world. You have to know that the central government spent several million yuan to purchase equipment for a German-equipped division.

More than 70 silver dollars sounds like a lot, but the exchange system only requires a few hundred thousand silver dollars to give you these goods. If you use merit points, more than 8000 merit points will be enough. This is nothing to Mao Yuanshan. Now his merit points and admiration points add up to more than 4.

"There should be no problem with these weapons. My German friend can provide them. The goods should be able to arrive at Tianjin Port in a few days. I also have a way to allow the 29th Army to obtain a large number of weapons. I don't know what you two think. Can we discuss it?" At this moment, Mao Yuanshan was like a wolf grandmother, luring them into his trap step by step.

"Oh?" General Zhao and Captain Zhao were a little confused. What else could the 29th Army have that would be worthy of the people in front of them? Arms were the most valuable things now, even more valuable than money. The war was about to begin. If you didn't have arms, no matter how much money you had, it would belong to others.

"It's like this. Our police station also has a security corps. If you can assign this organization to me and give me some well-trained officers, I would be happy to provide you with another batch of equipment." Mao Yuanshan's proposal made the two men a little alert.

Now the largest military force around the capital is the 29th Army. Although other military forces have also occupied some areas, they are not very powerful. Having the Japanese as a stronghold is enough to give them a headache. The man in front of them represents the central government. Although the organization of a security group is not a big deal, with only a few thousand people in total and unable to make any waves, this is like a beginning. If the tail is not out of control in the future, it will be enough of a headache.

"I didn't realize that Brother Mao is a man with great ambitions. To be honest, it's nothing to give you the organization of this security corps. Even the position of Beijing Police Chief that you want can be given to you. But there is one thing I don't understand. Why don't you ask the central government for officers when you want them? The Central Military Academy graduates a lot of people every year." It is never wrong to develop one's own power in this era, but what General Zhao doesn't understand is that the man in front of him can be said to be a direct descendant of President Jiang. Why doesn't he need people from the central government in his own team, but instead asks for people from a local warlord like them.

"Regarding this issue, General Zhao should understand that there are too many factions within the central government. I don't have any other ideas. The world is too chaotic now. If we don't have an army of our own, we will be worried about everything we do." Mao Yuanshan said this, and the two of them also expressed their understanding. The world is indeed too chaotic now. Many people hope to have their own armed forces. As for the factions in the central government, they understand them very well. There are too many cases of dog-eat-dog incidents there.
