Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2747 Wugan Anda also has a dishonest side!

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the atmosphere around the campfire gradually became heated. The leaders, sitting or standing, formed a circle and began to talk about the situation of their respective tribes and their views on future battles against the Japanese army.

Although this step was very time-consuming, Wu Gan, as the leader of the tribe, had to give everyone the right to speak.

The tribal alliance is called a tribal alliance, but it is by no means a monolithic entity. Each of them has his or her own little thoughts.

Chahar spoke first: "The warriors of our Tabunang tribe are all brave and good at fighting, but their equipment is indeed a little behind. If we can get some better weapons, I believe our combat effectiveness will be greatly improved."

"Chahar Anda has a point."

Wurigeng Dalai Lama took over the conversation and said that he naturally also had a need for weapons and equipment.

And he wanted to see Wu Gan's reaction.

Wu Gan naturally knew these people's little thoughts.

He laughed and said, "Before, our Wugan tribe was the same as everyone else. But now we are so rich because I fought the Japanese. And just the day before yesterday, I fought a cavalry battalion of the puppet army and seized 300 war horses, various weapons, and sabers, a total of 400 sets.

I can lend you these war horses and weapons, but when you return them, you have to pay me 20% more. If you are willing, you can discuss it among yourselves. "

"You still need to pay it back?"

"Yes, and there is 20% interest."

········

Everyone sighed at once.

To put it bluntly, they wanted to get something for free and have Wugan give them weapons and horses for free.

But Wu Gan took the initiative.

If you want weapons and war horses, you can, I will lend them at high interest rates. And I will lend them to you, not give them to you as gifts.

Wurigeng Dalai thought for a moment and spoke first: "Wugan Anda, the war is imminent and all tribes are short of weapons and equipment. It's not good for you to lend money at high interest rates now, right?"

Others also turned their eyes to Wugan.

Wu Gan had expected this, and he laughed and said, "These weapons and equipment were bought by my warriors with their lives, and they are not my property. Besides, my cavalry also needs to replenish their war horses and weapons.

But I am willing to share them now. If you are still not satisfied, then I can do nothing about it!"

After hearing Wu Gan's words, everyone fell silent.

Because Wugan was right, the weapons and equipment of the Wugan tribe were also snatched back by the warriors of the Wugan tribe at the cost of their lives. If they want to get it for free, they have to risk their reputation.

But at this time, they had a new idea.

Chahar asked for advice and said, "Wugan Anda, I was rude just now. I didn't think of this. But your 20% interest is indeed too much for us to bear. So, I will directly pay for some war horses, guns and ammunition, and you can use the money to reward those warriors, which can be regarded as an explanation to them."

The other tribal leaders all looked at Wugan, because if Chahar could complete the transaction with Wugan, then they should be able to do it as well.

Wu Gan pretended to be hesitant, but in fact he was happy to sell those weapons and horses.

He no longer had any regard for Liao Shisan, the puppet army's warhorse. And the puppet army's warhorse was no match for the warhorses on the grassland.

But he couldn't let the other party feel that he wanted to sell these things, so he pretended to be deep. After thinking for a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay, but I can only sell 300 war horses, guns, and sabers!"

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then they began to discuss the matter. Chahar was the first to express his opinion: "We, the Tabunang tribe, are willing to buy 100 war horses, 150 guns, and 150 sabers. Wugan Anda, what do you think?"

When Wurigeng Dalai heard this, he frowned and said hurriedly: "Chahar Anda, your tribe's appetite is too big. Our tribe also needs these equipment. I want to buy 120 war horses, 180 guns, and 180 sabers."

Chahar's face darkened: "Urigeng Dalai, are you trying to rob us? We have many warriors in the Tabunang tribe, so we naturally need a lot of equipment."

At this time, Chahar was very disgusted with the sudden involvement of Wurigeng Dalai Lama.

But Urigeng Dalai Lama naturally has his own ideas. Now all the tribes are short of weapons and equipment, and war horses. If he doesn't fight for them, does he have to wait for others to give them to him?

Moreover, the tribal alliance had previously set a rule that most of the spoils of war on the battlefield would belong to each tribe.

Naturally, the stronger one is, the more spoils one will seize.

This is just like rolling a snowball. Other people’s snowballs are very big at the beginning, so they will naturally get bigger as they roll.

On the contrary, if your snowball is small, it will be difficult to catch up with the opponent no matter how hard you try.

So the Urigeng Dalai Lama changed his usual cautious attitude and started to grab things directly.

However, at this moment, another tribal leader, Erdeni, interrupted and said, "Don't be too greedy, my tribe also needs equipment. I think it's not too much for us to buy eighty war horses, one hundred guns, and one hundred sabers, right?"

"Humph, eighty war horses? You dare to ask for that?"

Chahar sneered, obviously dissatisfied with Erdeni's proposal.

Wurigeng Dalai also echoed, "That's right, Erdenianda, your tribe has benefited a lot from us, why are you so stingy now?"

When Erdeni heard this, he immediately became anxious: "How can you say that? Our Ordos tribe also has its own difficulties. Besides, Wugan Anda didn't say that it can only be sold to your two tribes. Everyone has a share!"

For a moment, the atmosphere around the campfire became tense. The leaders of each tribe argued with each other, their faces red and their voices rising one after another, and no one was willing to give in.

"Our tribe must buy at least one hundred war horses and two hundred guns!"

"What about our tribe? You can't let us return empty-handed, right?"

"Wugan Anda, you have to make the decision for us!"

Wu Gan watched the people quarreling, feeling secretly proud. He had expected this result, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Dear Andars, please stop arguing. I only have so much equipment, so you can decide how to distribute it. I don't want to hurt the relationship because of this."

Upon hearing this, Chahar immediately said, "Ugananda, how about this? Our Tabunang tribe wants fewer war horses and more guns and ammunition. How about keeping our 100 war horses and taking 200 guns and sabers each?"

Wurigeng Dalai immediately retorted: "No, my tribe also needs guns and ammunition. Our 120 war horses remain the same, but we need at least 150 guns and sabers each."

Ahari was not to be outdone: "Then my tribe needs at least one hundred war horses, and one hundred and twenty spears and sabers each."

Everyone fell into a fierce quarrel again, and no one gave in.

Wu Gan was drinking leisurely on the side, watching everyone fighting for equipment, secretly thinking about how to gain the greatest benefit from it.

Although Wu Gan is loyal, he has to know who he is dealing with. When the Japanese troops were approaching, he had already seen clearly the true faces of the people in front of him!
