Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

Chapter 261 Another debate

Europa, banquet hall.

After the arms auction ended, this huge banquet hall suddenly became deserted.

At this time, the banquet hall had been re-decorated, and a gorgeous European-style long table was placed in the center of the banquet hall, covered with exquisite silk.

The flickering candlelight on the golden candlestick on the table illuminated the dim banquet hall and the three people dining at the banquet table.

Captain Hoffman had now put on a sophisticated dark blue aristocratic uniform, and the golden badge on the chest showed the other party's aristocratic status.

Opposite Captain Hoffman, Ryuichi Ikeda and Colonel Hirano were sitting with calm faces, looking unpredictable.

"Bah"

The sound of a lighter sounded.

Captain Hoffman lit a cigar, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the smoke. He stared at Colonel Hirano.

"Gentlemen, for you today, I violated the credibility of the businessman, lost a lucrative business, and also offended a potential customer."

Captain Hoffman's deep voice echoed in the banquet hall.

"So, shouldn't we have a serious talk about compensation?"

Colonel Hirano frowned, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and said:

"Didn't we already agree? I will arrange a special purchase channel for you in the next few days. I guarantee that your ship will be fully loaded when it returns."

This is the agreement reached by Colonel Hirano and Captain Hoffman just now. With the existing channels at hand of Colonel Hirano, Captain Hoffman can easily purchase a large amount of goods.

Things like smuggling naturally come and go.

China needs European arms and industrial products, while European customers also like handicrafts, jewelry, antiques and other items from the Far East.

This is also the reason why European and American smugglers like Hoffman have always maintained cooperation with the Japanese. In some ways, the Japanese are the agents of these European and American smugglers.

The $110,000 offered by Lu Feng certainly made Captain Hoffman excited, but in the face of the conditions offered by Colonel Hirano, a mere $110,000 was not enough.

"Mr. Hirano, if it's just a channel for goods, you should know very well. As long as I open my mouth, countless middlemen in Shanghai will come over to introduce me to the source of goods."

Ikeda Ryuichi also stopped what he was doing. He understood that this ghost guy wanted to raise the price.

"So Captain Hoffman, what do you want to do?"

"You want to buy that machine gun, and there's no way I'm going to transport it back.

As for the price, I don’t want the second highest price, I just give it a 30% discount, which is US$77,000, which will be deducted from the payment. "

"impossible!"

Colonel Hirano just slapped the table.

If such a machine gun could be specially copied and produced in Japan, the cost would not exceed US$10,000. Why should I spend more than US$70,000 to buy it?

Have you taken yourself for granted?

"Colonel Hirano, please calm down first."

Ikeda Takashi looked at the bloodshot eyes of Colonel Hirano and had to comfort him first.

Then, he said to Captain Hoffman:

"Your Excellency, Captain, we have cooperated before, so we'd better give a reasonable price, otherwise it will be bad for everyone if there is a stalemate, right?"

Captain Hoffman looked at Colonel Hirano's condition, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and then nodded:

"Thirty thousand dollars, deducted from the payment."

"make a deal."

After reaching an agreement, Ryuichi Ikeda and the others stood up to say goodbye and left the Europa cruise ship.

Leaving with them was a truck loaded with containers.

In Class A, Captain Hoffman looked at Ryuichi Ikeda and the others who were walking away, with a satisfied smile on his face.

After this trip, I can earn at least more than two million U.S. dollars, which will be just in time to renovate the old castle I just bought in Poland.

After this voyage, I have reached the age where I should retire and enjoy my old age.

Suddenly, Captain Hoffman thought of his treacherous act today, which made him feel a little unworthy of the noble medal on his chest.

Therefore, Captain Hoffman decided in his heart that he would go to church tomorrow to confess to God. He believed that God would forgive him as a lost lamb.

As for why not go today?

Because I have to be busy counting money today! Baoshan County, the headquarters of Songhu Tax Police Corps.

Lu Feng, who had just finished his meal, was called to the conference room by Zhang Wenbai, who asked him to explain his argument.

At this time, Zhang Wenbai and others had changed back into officer uniforms. Lu Feng discovered that except for Tan Zhongshu, the remaining few people were all generals.

Several people also announced their names, including Commander Huang Jiehuang of the Tax Police Corps, Commander Yang Huyang of the Songhu Garrison Headquarters, and Commander Zhang Jingjiu of the 87th Division.

Each one of them can be regarded as a military boss-level figure in the Songhu area.

In front of them, Lu Feng's rank of major was indeed a bit unsatisfactory, but Lu Feng didn't feel any restraint. He just tapped on the blackboard and started talking.

"Why I say that the weak has never defeated the strong in this world is because in my opinion, victory does not only depend on the strength of the two warring parties.

It's more about how to use your own strengths and discover the enemy's weaknesses. Everyone will have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it's the same when enlarged into an army.

These seemingly insignificant qualities often become decisive factors in determining the outcome of a war. "

Lu Feng's words made everyone, including Zhang Wenbai, look thoughtful.

Later, Zhang Wenbai said:

"Let's talk about it in detail."

Lu Feng nodded and said:

"Just like the example we just gave, you have a thousand soldiers holding swords, and I have a hundred soldiers holding flower traps.

Normally, you definitely can't defeat me, right? "

"Yes."

"So, what if we refine the conditions? If my hundred soldiers are all forcibly recruited strong men, many of them don't know how to use the guns in their hands, and the thousand of your soldiers are all hundred men. Veteran Zhan, then, is the outcome reversed for both sides?"

Zhang Wenbai and the others were a little stunned.

"To be more detailed, let's assume that both sides are soldiers who have undergone certain training, but your one thousand people are all locals and are familiar with the surrounding environment, while my one hundred people are all foreigners, and they don't even have their own positions on the battlefield. I don’t know, is it hard to decide the outcome again?”

While several people were thinking, Lu Feng wrote a few words on the blackboard:

Military morale, morale, training, equipment, intelligence, and logistics.

"There are many factors that affect the combat effectiveness of an army. I have roughly listed a few of them. They are all veterans of the battlefield. They can understand the meaning without even thinking about it.

In my opinion, the winning side is constantly developing its own favorable factors, and then working hard to avoid its own unfavorable factors, so as to finally win.

That's why I say that the weak can never defeat the strong.

As long as there are factors that make one's side stronger than the other side, then there is a chance to defeat the other side. If one side is weaker than the other side in all conditions, then there is no possibility of victory at all. "

(Pah, a slap from the great mage Liu Xiu.)

Zhang Wenbai and others naturally understood what Lu Feng wrote at a glance, and everyone felt that they had some ideas in their minds.

Lu Feng looked at the generals in front of him and wondered whether his words could have even the slightest effect.

Later generations have never evaluated the Songhu Battle highly. In addition to the high praise of military morale, the remaining aspects such as pre-war planning and combat coordination can be said to be a mess.

The soldiers are not well trained, the equipment is not distributed in place, the intelligence work is not in place, the logistics and supplies are not in place, and the superior command is even more chaotic.

As long as there are one or two points here that are slightly better, the Battle of Songhu will be much better.

Lu Feng is currently devoted to intelligence work, and as for more, he is not able to take care of it.

I hope that after listening to what I said, Zhang Wenbai and the others can pay more attention to it. I don’t ask them to do everything well, but I hope they can do a little bit better in one of them.

In this way, even if the final result cannot be changed, the national army can make the Japanese devils pay a heavier price on the Songhu battlefield.

"Everyone, please share your opinions. This is not a formal meeting and no records will be taken. You can speak freely if you have any ideas."

As Zhang Wenbai finished speaking, other people's voices soon sounded in the conference room.

Such a discussion started by Lu Feng lasted until the evening.
