Rebirth of the National Marshal

"Nonsense, I also know that this place is not very attractive. The only thing that can bring you in is my plane." No matter what, this guy was also from the central government, so Mao Yuanshan quickly gave him a seat.

"Is that an ordinary plane? The one you have is the most advanced plane in the world. The Japanese planes are just outdated compared to it. Don't try to hide it from me. Just look at your 12:0 and you will know." Hu Lian said after taking a sip of water.

"I admit what you said. These are indeed the most advanced aircraft in Germany, but the problem is that there are too few of them. I only have 15 of them. As you know, the Japanese devils have hundreds of them. If it comes to a contest of consumption, I am no match for them. So if you have any ideas, just swallow them back. It's not that I don't want to sell them to you, I just don't have any." After saying this, Mao Yuanshan acted as if it had nothing to do with him, as if these planes had nothing to do with him.

"I say, Brigade Commander Mao, this is not fair of you. I have done everything you entrusted me to do, but I am having a hard time over there with the central government. I haven't even told you how difficult it is. Why is it so difficult for me to come to you to do something? If you have any problems in the future, just solve them yourself and don't come to me." Hu Lian became anxious when he heard this, because he had promised the principal.

In fact, there are still many more planes, but Mao Yuanshan didn't want the other party to feel that it was too easy for them to get these things. If it was too easy, they would ask for more in the future, and they wouldn't be able to sell them at a high price. Even though he is very rich now, when he really goes to Chahar, there are so many places to spend money, but basically no places to make money.

"Don't be anxious. I'm just complaining to you, but what I said is also the truth. You don't know how much effort it took me to get these dozen planes. They're thousands of miles from Germany to here." Hu Lian's face looked a little better when she heard Mao Yuanshan's words that sounded a little relieved.

According to Hu Lian's idea, what Mao Yuanshan said was also correct. The central government once bought dozens of 150mm heavy artillery from the Germans. At that time, all the money was paid to the Germans, but because of the Japanese, only half of them came, and the remaining half was basically gone.

You know, the Germans attach great importance to the spirit of contract, but in the end they returned the money. There was nothing they could do. They needed an ally in Asia, and this ally would definitely not be China.

"I know a little about dealing with the Germans. I also went to see the batch of cannons purchased by the central government. I also know that German weapons are the most reliable. Otherwise, our central government would not have armed the central army with all German equipment." Not only the Chinese central government, but also some local warlords believed in German equipment.

"Okay, we two are not outsiders, so let's stop talking about useless things. I'll tell you the truth, this batch of weapons is definitely not cheap. I'll quote a price and if you can afford it, buy it. If you can't afford it, then just pretend we never talked about it. Let's go for a drink later, and I'll send you back to the central government tomorrow." Mao Yuanshan had a lot of things to do here, and he didn't have the time to talk nonsense with Hu Lian.

"I knew you were a straightforward person. Don't worry, this time we brought all the money from the national treasury. You have to know that the central government still has money, but there is no channel to purchase. Although the things you sold before were not bad, they were not taken seriously by the central government. This plane is different." Hu Lian said with a smile. The higher-ups have instructed that no matter what, as long as they are willing to offer a price, don't bargain, just buy it directly. Otherwise, you will have a lot of money, but when the Japanese attack, you will not be able to buy anything, and the money may even be robbed by the Japanese devils.

"But we have to say this in advance. You can't ask for an exorbitant price. You have to know that it is not easy for the central government to save this money. Now we are facing a powerful enemy and there are many places where money is needed. I can't just spend all the money directly." In order to prevent Mao Yuanshan from asking for an exorbitant price, he had to add this sentence.

"After all, I am a Chinese. I will not do such a thing as making money from the national disaster. But its price is really not cheap. Even if our central government or the German government buys it, whether they will sell it to you or not is another matter. I estimate that the price they sell it to you will be at least not less than 15 oceans." The price Mao Yuanshan mentioned is absolutely possible.

Hu Lian nodded and let Mao Yuanshan continue.

"I can only provide you with ten planes at most, and the price of each plane will be 15 yuan." Hu Lian thought that Brigade Commander Mao would at least offer a price of 30 or even higher. You know, in this era, arms are a highly profitable product, especially these big ones. No matter how much you offer, there will be many buyers, because this is a seller's market.

There is no free lunch in the world. When dealing with people like Mao Yuanshan, one must be more careful. Hu Lian is not a kid on the street. He has been in the central government for so long that he naturally knows that this matter will not be so easy. Mao Yuanshan will definitely have other conditions, so he is not in a hurry to express his opinion, but waits for Mao Yuanshan to continue speaking to see what his ultimate goal is?

"I still want this place." Mao Yuanshan pointed to Chahar on the map and said that the central government has basically given up Chahar. You know, Chahar is now in a very remote location. There is no oil in this place, and now it is surrounded by Japanese devils. The central government will not want it even more.

Hu Lian was not a simple man. He could tell from the map what Mao Yuanshan wanted to do. The situation in North China was getting worse and worse, and a great retreat was imminent. Mao Yuanshan must have wanted a foothold. But what Hu Lian did not understand was why Mao Yuanshan did not retreat to the south? There were a large number of central troops there, and Mao Yuanshan would definitely be promoted with his status. There was no need to go to Chahar.

"Brother, this place is not small, it's more than 20 square kilometers. If you want this place, ten planes are not enough." Hu Lian now represents the central government. Although he has a cooperative relationship with Mao Yuanshan, he must know who his master is. It's time to bargain for the central government.

"Add two more planes, 3000 Type 100 rifles, 20 Czech light machine guns, 10 Maxim heavy machine guns, and Type mortars." Mao Yuanshan increased his bargaining chips.

"I'll reply to you in the evening." Hu Lian left in a hurry after saying this. He wanted to discuss it with the people from the central government. After all, it was a land of more than 20 square kilometers. A mere colonel like him was not qualified to decide such a big thing. It was a matter of national territory.

Wanting to exchange ten of Germany's latest BF109s and a batch of such weapons for 20 square kilometers of land would definitely make people call him an idiot under normal circumstances.

But now is not an ordinary time. Now is the most dangerous time. North China may fall at any time. Once North China falls, Chahar will become the Japanese. It is just a matter of time. Now a blank check can be exchanged for so many things, the most important of which is the Germans' most advanced aircraft. Thinking of this, the central government will definitely agree.

Moreover, the territory was in Mao Yuanshan's hands, which was much stronger than in the hands of the Japanese. At least he would listen to the central government's orders. If the Japanese occupied it, it would mean the loss of territory, just like the Northeast. Maybe it would be written in history books and he would be scolded. Principal Jiang knew the difference clearly.

Although the central government was very annoyed by Mao Yuanshan's bargaining attitude, is there any other way to get planes now? You know, in modern warfare, if there is no strong air force support, no matter how powerful your army is, you will be passive and beaten.

The principal did not ask too many questions about letting Mao Yuanshan become the chairman of Chahar Province. In his opinion, his nephew was indeed very capable. He could even get the latest aircraft from the Germans. Although the quantity was a little small, there would definitely be an endless supply in the future. This road could not be cut off. Although he did not know how he got this channel, it must be protected. This channel would become very important if China went to war with Japan in the future.

Of course, this appointment cannot be announced now. If it is announced now, it will expose the central government’s unresolute resistance policy.

The original world had a policy of non-resistance, but here it has become a policy of not firmly resisting. Although there is only one word difference, the difference in attitude is indeed huge.

In the hearts of the common people, even if North China could not be defended, they would not give up. They would rather die on the battlefield than escape.

After seeing Hu Lian off, representatives of major domestic leaders also arrived.

Unfortunately, no matter how much you offer, I can only give each of you five planes. If you offer more, it won't work. The central government won't agree. Besides, if the Germans get upset, it will be troublesome for them to investigate. I don't want to be caught as a guinea pig now.

In this way, 40 aircraft were sold sporadically.

Earned 600 million in cash.

Reselling arms is indeed a highly profitable industry, but reselling large arms is the most profitable among the highly profitable ones, especially when there is an exchange system like ours, we can make more money from you. Of course, there is only one such company in the world, and there are no other branches.

After the Japanese lost 12 planes, they began to investigate the matter. When they learned that those planes were all the latest German planes, they protested to the German ambassador. However, the Germans responded by saying that they didn’t know what was going on. At least they did not export the most advanced aircraft to China because they themselves were not yet fully equipped.

What the Germans said is true. The Japanese also have their own intelligence network in Germany. They know very well how many Germans are equipped with this type of aircraft. The German Air Force is only equipped with 1/5 of it. If they had such productivity, they would definitely equip their own country first instead of selling it. If they want to make a profit, selling some of the previous generation of products to China may make more profit instead of this latest model.

However, the Japanese are naturally fearless. They sent more planes and wanted to shoot down these advanced German planes. Anyway, we have controlled the surrounding areas, so you definitely won’t have any more planes.
