The Bund in Shanghai, located on the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai's Huangpu District, is also known as Huangpu Beach.

Since it was designated as the British Concession in 1844, it has become a true portrayal of Shanghai's Shili Yangchang, a concentration of Shanghai's financial and foreign trade institutions, and the starting point of the old Shanghai Concession and the beginning of the entire modern city of Shanghai.

Moreover, it is the political gathering place of the world powers in the Far East.

Since last year, after the conflict between Yamato and Huaxia in the northeast, foreigners here can often see the big parades of the Chinese people and the clashes with the Yamato people, but what does it have to do with them? They are just here to make money, and there are not a few foreigners who have the attitude of watching the show.

But since the sudden sound of gunfire last night, all the foreigners in the Shanghai Concession know that Yamato and Huaxia have once again entered a military conflict, and this time it is in the international metropolis of Shanghai, countless people no longer have the mentality of watching a play, but have begun to worry, worrying that the war will spread to the concession.

But there is another part of the people who are very happy, that is, the arms dealers of the major foreign companies.

They all know how backward the Chinese army is, and the Yamato people have become one of the world's great powers since they defeated the Russians, who are known as the European gendarmes, in the 27th century, and their navy is the third largest in the world.

For example, Mr. Zhuang Weigang from the 19th Route Army in front of the foreman of John Xun in the hall of Qichang Foreign Bank.

John Xun was dressed in a white suit and smiled at Zhuang Weigang, who was dressed in civilian clothes, and said: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Zhuang, this price is already our bottom line, it's really very, very convenient~ appropriate!"

"Your offer a few days ago is not this!" Zhuang Wei, the logistics director of the 19th Route Army, just put down the price list, looking very angry, when I came to talk about the purchase of weapons and equipment a few days ago, the price was only -one-third of what it is now!

In just a few days, the price has increased by almost 150%, which is simply - a money grab!

John Xun stirred the coffee with a silver spoon and shrugged slightly, "There was no war a few days ago. "

"Mr. John, this is not a war! It's just a conflict!" Zhuang Weigang said solemnly.

"Who knows? If an armistice is signed tomorrow, the price of my weapons will be the same as the other day. John Xun held up his coffee cup and smiled.

Facing his smile, Zhuang Weigang seemed to see a tiger that eats people and does not spit out bones!

"Hmph!" Zhuang Wei got up angrily and left Qichang Foreign Bank with a few plainclothes guards.

Walking out of the building of the foreign bank and coming to the Bund Street, which was praised by people, Zhuang Weigang let out a long sigh.

Several guards behind him asked with concern, "Director Zhuang, let's change the next one." "

Zhuang Weigang shook his head, before the war, he had already run more than a dozen large foreign companies, just to prepare arms, but after a few days of understanding, he learned that there were only a few on the Bund in Shanghai that could provide tens of thousands of guns, ammunition and even artillery, and most of them were United States foreign companies.

Because of the overcapacity of the United States during the First World War, a lot of equipment was produced but it encountered the disintegration of Tsarist Russia, and after the end of the First World War, there were as many as five or six million Mosin Nagant rifles and Springfield rifles hoarded in the United States alone, most of which were ordered by Russia!

But before it was sent, Russia collapsed, and the guns and artillery were smashed in their hands, and the United States Arms Company was so angry!

Just as Zhuang Wei was about to take the guards to take a look at the foreign store, a young man in a suit walked up.

Zhuang Weigang's guard immediately stopped him, the man smiled, spread his hands slightly to show that he had no weapon, and then asked Zhuang Weigang: "Excuse me, you are Director Zhuang?"

Zhuang Weigang, who was in plain clothes, immediately became vigilant, at this time, 80% of the people who revealed their identities were spies of the Yamato people, or traitors!

He was about to ask, but the man took out a piece of paper and said to him: "Mr. Zhuang, Lin Yongchang, a contemptible overseas Chinese in Nanyang, I can help you solve your troubles." "

"Oh, Nanyang overseas Chinese?" Zhuang Wei just became interested, took the paper he handed over and looked at it.

I saw that there was a huge list of arms purchases, including 20,000 Mosin Nagant rifles, 1.5 million rounds of ammunition, 130 light and heavy machine guns, 130 60mm mortars, and even 75 mountain guns of 24 meters, and 12 105 cannons!

Hiss!

Seeing this list, Zhuang Weigang gasped.

Then he immediately checked the list of weapons and found that they were actually sold by the Qichang Foreign Bank that he had just come out of!

"Mr. Lin, with all due respect, you, or your forces, have purchased so many weapons...... What are the plans?" Zhuang Weigang asked solemnly.

These weapons are enough to arm two integrated divisions! Not to mention the expensive 75 mountain guns and 105 cannons inside, which local forces may not be able to buy even if they have money!

········ Ask for flowers·······

But the person in front of him, who claimed to be an overseas Chinese in Nanyang, was able to buy so many weapons, equipment and ammunition from a foreign company!

Zhuang Weigang had to be suspicious.

But Lin Yongchang didn't give him a chance to doubt, took two steps back and bowed: "I have already delivered the things, and please Mr. Zhuang, please don't let down these weapons with the brothers of the Nineteenth Route Army, we will meet again if we have a fate." "

Subsequently, Lin Yongchang turned around and left, leaving Zhuang Weigang baffled.

"Eh, wait!" Zhuang Wei just wanted to step forward to inquire clearly, but a few coolies squatting on the side of the road suddenly stood up and stopped them.

This made Zhuang Weigang even more puzzled, and he could only watch the man open the door of a car, smile at him, his lips moved slightly, and then get into the car and disappear into the crowd.

And those coolies immediately pulled rickshaws and disappeared into the flow of people.

Only Zhuang Weigang, who was holding a huge and expensive list of arms, was left for unknown reasons.

He recalled the movement of the man's lips before he got into the car.

"North...... Fang ......, "What does this mean?" Zhuang Weigang was even more puzzled.

But looking at the list of weapons and the shipping address in his hand, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately returned to the headquarters of the 19th Route Army, and took a battalion of soldiers to a dock warehouse not far from the position of the 19th Route Army.

When they arrived, a group of coolies, who were all on the bandwagon, had just left.

Open the warehouse, inside are boxes of neatly stacked rifles and ammunition, and a door covered with canvas cannons and light and heavy machine guns makes everyone stunned.

When the 19th Route Army was carrying this batch of mysterious munitions, at the Shanghai wharf, a huge merchant ship flying the flag of the United States slowly sailed away from Shanghai after being reinforced.

On the bridge, Tanya, who had just picked up the person, said to Lin Yongchang: "Anyway, how did you buy so many weapons from the people of the United States? "

Lin Yongchang had already changed into a white captain's uniform at this time, stood on the bridge blowing the comfortable and familiar sea breeze, and smiled at Tanya: "In this world, there is nothing that gold can't buy. "
