Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 244 Selling Arms

In modern times, the army is not allowed to do business, because the army is prone to corruption when doing business.

However, in this special period, the army's business and operation of a certain industry was forced by the situation, and it was also advocated by the superiors.

The chief concluded: "The independent group has made a fortune by collecting salt, but we don't want to rush to collect salt! There are 10 people, all of whom go to collect salt, and there are more people than salt!"

These words are in line with the specific situation at that time.

On the one hand, if too many people follow suit, it is easy to cause excess salt and the price will drop, and as a result, no one can make money.

On the other hand, even salting has seasonality and even depends on the weather: rain is needed to dissolve salt, and sun is needed to dry salt. Otherwise, the precipitation and quality of salt will be affected, and it is not possible to mine at any time.

Later, the problem of rainwater was solved...a regiment of the Eighth Route Army sent to Dingbian drilled a well near Yanchi. When there was no rain, the brine in the well was used to make salt artificially. Salt flaws.

But still can't squeeze away in a swarm.

So the cadres had their own ideas, some said they wanted to start a quilt factory, some said they wanted to open a lumber mill, and some planned to collectively open up wasteland, establish farms, pastures, and so on.

For a while, the meeting room was full of enthusiasm, and groups of three and five were discussing how to make money.

Li Yunlong was surrounded by a lot of people. Anyone who had mules and horses in the army hoped to get some experience in salt hunting from Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong is not stingy in this regard... This guy is not greedy for money, he is greedy for equipment, afraid of running out of battle, and afraid of running out of wine.

For other things, it's not about going out of the rivers and lakes to talk about loyalty, and everyone who has money can make money together!

So I happily told everyone how to operate, how to be a "bodyguard" for the fellow villagers, and charge some salt for hard work, etc.

The cadres mentioned are all gearing up and can't wait to go back to organize immediately.

Another person not involved in the discussion was Zhang Wanhe.

His arsenal was already busy enough, and he couldn't spare his hands to do other things, so he took this time to report to the chief.

Everyone in the conference room was busy, only Wang Xuexin was sitting on a chair with his back against the wall and frowning.

He knew that although there was no problem with what the soldiers did, such as opening up wasteland and growing food, of course it was urgent.There are also quilts, logging, furniture factories, etc., all of which can solve the problem of self-sufficiency in the base area.

but……

They are also labor-intensive industries with extremely low added value, and a considerable part of them cannot even be traded with the enemy and cannot fundamentally break the blockade.

For example, is furniture so big that it is convenient to transport?
There are also quilts, how many cars does it take to change a radio station?
To put it simply, Wang Xuexin knows the development of history and knows that doing these things will not change the situation that the base area will be in trouble in the future and the Eighth Route Army will drop sharply.

Salt is no exception.

"Comrade Wang Xuexin!" At this time, the chief noticed Wang Xuexin's strange expression and asked, "Do you have any different views on what the comrades are discussing? Feel free to raise your opinions!"

"Report to the chief!" Wang Xuexin replied, "I have no problem with these, it's just..."

"Just what?" asked the Chief.

Other cadres also looked in Wang Xuexin's direction.

At this time, Wang Xuexin was a popular person. Everyone knew that this guy had a lot of tricks and was good at fighting, so when they heard that he had something to say, they stopped talking.

Wang Xuexin replied: "It's just... I was thinking, is the money coming in a bit late for doing these things?"

The chief said "Yo" and said with a smile: "It's not a small tone, do you have a way to get money quickly?"

"Yes, yes, but..."

"But what?" said the chief, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't hesitate!"

"Chief!" Wang Xuexin said, "I was thinking, can we sell the bazooka to the stubborn army!"

The conference room was silent for a moment, and all the cadres were stunned, even Li Yunlong and Zhang Wanhe were surprised.

After a while, Li Yunlong smiled "hehe" and said to his surroundings, "I'm sorry, everyone! Xiao Dongbei drank a few bowls of wine before he came out, and now he's on the top, he's a gangster!"

Then he gave Wang Xuexin a wink, are you not afraid that others will label you a traitor?Can this rocket launcher be sold to the enemy casually like salt?

The chief ignored Li Yunlong. After a moment of thought, he said: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, this bazooka may be a quick money grab, but...how can anyone sell arms to the enemy?"

"Yes, Comrade Wang Xuexin!" The chief of staff criticized with a straight face: "Selling arms to the enemy, and it is our secret weapon, is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. The enemy turned around and used these weapons on us. At that time, we will have to pay a heavy price! This idea is inappropriate, and we can't violate the principle just to make money!"

The chief of staff is being polite when he says this. If he doesn't know Wang Xuexin well, even the bazooka was made by him, then he will have to enter the review process.

This is exactly what Wang Xuexin is worried about. Selling arms is indeed more sensitive, so he has been considering whether to say it or not.

But now that we've started, let's get to the bottom of it.

"Chief, Chief of Staff!" Wang Xuexin puffed out his chest and said, "This bazooka is mainly used to hit tanks. We don't have tanks. How useful will it be if we sell them to the stubborn army?"

The chief was taken aback for a moment, secretly thinking that there was some truth in what he said, but he still added: "Isn't there an anti-infantry rocket launcher?"

"Chief!" Wang Xuexin asked back: "The stubborn army can buy anti-infantry rocket launchers?"

When the chief heard it, he felt that it made sense, so he nodded slightly in agreement.

Li Yunlong also understood, his eyes lit up immediately, and then he laughed a few times.

Kong Jie asked suspiciously: "I said Xiaobei, why don't the stubborn soldiers buy anti-infantry rocket launchers?"

"Old Kong!" Li Yunlong replied on his behalf: "What is the stubborn army most afraid of? Is it the charge of our Eighth Route Army, or the devil's tank?"

"Of course..." Speaking of this, Kong Jie said "oh", then nodded and said, "That makes sense, if it were me, I wouldn't buy an anti-infantry rocket launcher either!"

"I definitely won't buy it!" Li Yunlong raised his chin and said proudly: "We have the bazooka in the whole world, and the price will not be whatever we want at that time? If the price is expensive, the stubborn army will have to worry about it." I measured it, and then I thought about it... Why use expensive bazookas to fight infantry with machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers? They don’t have any anti-tank weapons, so they have to bite the bullet and buy them for any money!”

As he said that, he smiled "hehe", and gave Wang Xuexin a thumbs up: "You have two hands, Xiao Dongbei, you are making money from the stubborn army, and let the stubborn army fight devils..."

Enough!

Poisonous enough!

His mother is also strong enough!
