Rebirth of the National Marshal

Although he knew that arms was an unavoidable topic, Mao Yuanshan did not expect Mr. Chen to bring up the issue so soon. From this aspect, it is not difficult to see that the National Government really needs arms too much, especially at this time of national crisis. Arms are much more important to them than anything else.

"Mr. Chen, you have seen that Chahar is a province to put it nicely, but it is a wasteland to put it bluntly. Everything has to start from scratch. I have hundreds of thousands of people spread out over 20 square kilometers of land, but I can't see anything. So I want to form some security teams in various places. What do you think?" Mao Yuanshan took out an American cigar and lit it for Mr. Chen. He did not answer Mr. Chen's question, but poured out his own grievances first.

Mr. Chen glanced at Mao Yuanshan. Several people in power in the central government had discussed the issue raised by Mao Yuanshan. The final result of the discussion was that this guy could be allowed to expand the security corps, but he would never be given a regular organization, because the security corps was to maintain peace in an area, and without the central government's mobilization order, they could only operate in the same place.

I had originally thought of using the national crisis to get this guy to take the initiative to suggest weapons, but I didn't expect her to be so patient. She hasn't raised this issue to me for a whole day, and I have to bring it up myself. Why don't you bring it up yourself? You don't talk to me about this issue, but you are talking about expanding your security team. You are really a little fox. When I was his age, I didn't think so much. Talents emerge in every generation!

"Now, Chahar's geographical location is very important. It can be said that it is the only large piece of land in the north of our country that has not fallen. It is indeed not easy for you to defend this place, and the central government has not given you any support and has no way to give you any support. You can only rely on yourself. In principle, the central government supports your desire to build a large number of security corps, but you should understand that the central government is spending money everywhere now..." Mr. Chen's words were very clear at this point. If you want to expand the security corps, that's fine, but the central government doesn't have much money. It all depends on you.

This is like letting the horse run without feeding it grass.

Mao Yuanshan could neither say he was satisfied nor dissatisfied with this result. Even if the central government allocated funds to him, it would only be two dollars a month per soldier, which would not play any important role in the training of the entire army.

However, being able to obtain the consent of the central government means that the troops under his command are legitimate. Although it sounds bad without a number, they are still under the government sequence, not those bandits or something.

"Thanks to the strong support of the central government, although I can obtain some weapons through the weapons channels behind me, the Japanese have blocked us now, so there are definitely not many weapons in quantity." The central government has not yet stated its bottom line, so Mao Yuanshan cannot state his bottom line either. This is an art of negotiation.

Some people may say, your things are exchanged through the system anyway, and the price is so cheap, and people all over the country are resisting the Japanese invaders, so what's wrong with you giving some to support them? Why be so stingy?

Mao Yuanshan wanted to do this, but in this era, there is another truth. Everything you do is for reward. If you don't seek reward, others will wonder what you are pursuing. There is no fool who would contribute what he has without asking for any conditions. Besides, the weapons Mao Yuanshan sold seem to be very expensive, but now even if the central government offers a higher price, no one will sell it to you, right? With this money in Mao Yuanshan's hands, he can run Chahar better, which is better than those central officials spending it.

"Of course we know this. The Japanese devils are now imposing an economic blockade on us. Not only trade with the Germans, but also trade with countries around the world has basically come to a halt." Mr. Chen also expressed his understanding of this. This is the current actual situation and it is not an excuse by Mao Yuanshan.

"I wonder how many security regiments the central government has approved for me?" In the eyes of others, Mao Yuanshan's ideas were a bit fanciful. He was just talking about weapons, and instantly came to the issue of establishment. Mr. Chen realized at this time that it was not that Mao Lianshan's ideas were fanciful, but he knew that you were about to submit a procurement list, so I'll put the ugly truth in front of you. If you give her less, I will also give less. If you can give more, I will increase the limit accordingly.

"Taking into account the local population and economic situation, the central government has decided to give you ten security regiments." After Mr. Chen finished speaking, Mao Yuanshan's face immediately turned ugly. We are just asking you for some empty positions, not asking you to really pay any money. Why are you so stingy?

"Yes, ten security regiments are already a lot. I received news that there are a large number of Mauser rifles and Mauser pistols. I wonder how many the central government is going to take?" Since you are going to give me ten security regiments, I will just display the goods to you accordingly. Ten security regiments will only allow you to buy pistols and rifles. As for other weapons and equipment, let's not talk about it.

This guy is just like what Hu Lian said, he changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. When Mr. Chen came, he talked to Hu Lian for a while. Hu Lian also told Mr. Chen about Mao Yuanshan's personality. Sure enough, he was just as Hu Lian described. He was smiling just now, but now he sits upright, as if the two of them have no friendship at all except for business.

"However, in areas close to the Northeast and North China, you can form a few more security groups, and it would be best to control the number to around 15." Mr. Chen thought for a while and said, this loophole cannot be left too wide, otherwise it will be troublesome if another big warlord emerges.

Besides, 15 security groups are not a small number. In other places, a security group has at most a few hundred people. According to the organization under Mao Yuanshan, a security group has as many as tens of thousands of people. 15 security groups are definitely not a small number.

However, there is another voice in the central government. That is, how capable is Mao Yuanshan? He can organize a few security groups according to that large organization, but if he organizes more than a dozen security groups, can he still organize them according to that large organization? The money required is not something that a local government, let alone the central government, can afford.

"We also have Czech light machine guns and Maxim heavy machine guns, but there may be some restrictions on the quantity. I will try my best to meet the needs of the central government." Mr. Chen shook his head helplessly. It's like squeezing water out of you, little by little. This guy also used this trick on me, and he played it better than an old guy like me. I really don't know where this kid learned it from.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending in front of me. I'm going to tell you straight out that the bottom line the central government has given you is thirty security teams, absolutely no more." Mr. Chen really couldn't stand this guy anymore.

"Haha, so that's how it is. Mr. Chen, you're having tea. What do you want to buy? Just say a word. We are all family." Mao Yuanshan was happy to hear the number of 30 security teams. This number was already not small. It couldn't be the same as he said, one for each county. If that were the case, with more than 80 security teams, it would be enough for him to get into trouble.

The items purchased by the central government this time are mainly artillery. They have been using the Type 1000 mortars for a while and think they are very good. They want to purchase 5 guns and 1000 artillery shells. The price is 20 yuan per gun and 200 yuan per artillery shell, for a total of million yuan.

The Japanese devils' grenade launchers are also a good thing. The central government also purchased 5000 of them this time. There is no need to purchase the shells fired by this thing. Some arsenals under the central government can make them. The price of this thing is not even as high as a Mauser rifle, but it was sold at 80 yuan each, with a value of 40 yuan.

500 Type 2.5 infantry guns and 1 rounds of ammunition were also to be purchased. Mao Yuanshan directly held a tearful sale at this price, with each gun costing 30 oceans and each round of ammunition costing 575 oceans, for a total of million oceans.

As the most important infantry support weapon, the Maxim heavy machine gun must have been purchased in large quantities by the central government, and the central government’s arsenal could also produce some, but due to substandard steel, the utilization rate of these weapons was very low.

The central government plans to purchase 1500 Maxim heavy machine guns and 3000 Czech light machine guns.

The price of a heavy machine gun is also 1000 yuan each, and the price of a light machine gun has dropped to 400 yuan each.

Together with the required bullets, the price was 400 million oceans.

Although the central government also wanted to purchase 100mm mortars, Mao Yuanshan had no intention of selling them, for fear that they would change the course of history. However, he made a concession on the plane and agreed to provide another 109 BF250 fighters and the supporting weapons and ammunition they needed, for a total price of million yuan.

The central government also purchased other types of bullets for 800 million oceans. In addition, the central government also purchased aircraft, each costing oceans, plus various types of ammunition for a total of oceans, a total of million oceans.

A military procurement project worth about 2500 million oceans in exchange for Mao Yuanshan's 30 security groups, which was considered very good. Both sides got what they needed. Mao Yuanshan got a position and the central government got a large amount of weapons and ammunition.

In fact, the central government is also very interested in things like trucks, and Mao Yuanshan could sell them to them, but the problem is the same as what Mao Yuanshan encountered, the central government does not have much fuel, and all of it is imported.

The next day, Mr. Chen took Mao Yuanshan to meet with a group of Chahar government officials. Most of the government officials expressed their obedience, only a few showed dissatisfaction, but that was just dissatisfaction. No matter how powerful you were in Chahar before, if you dared to make trouble under the watchful eyes of 10 troops, bullets would not spare you.

Among them, the director of the Chahar Police Department was the most opposed. The security group should be under her name, so Mao Yuanshan dismissed this guy when he took office. Monkey became the director of the police department, and he actually led his men to prepare for an assassination. Later, when Mao Yuanshan found out, he shot him directly. This guy had never done anything good in the past, and he had killed more than a dozen people. By the way, his house was raided, and various things worth more than 100 million oceans were taken away.
