The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

This time, Chen Cheng came from a long way to buy urgently needed weapons and ammunition in bulk. At present, most of the millions of national troops lack ammunition and weapons, and the quantity to be purchased is not a small amount.

The Kuomintang did not disclose the demand for so many weapons and equipment to the No. 30 Sixth Army in advance. Now, Zhang Yunfei went straight to the point, and Chen Cheng seemed a little hesitant.

Chen Cheng pondered for a while, and said seriously: "Commander Zhang, this time, our needs are relatively large, so you must be mentally prepared."

Zhang Yunfei smiled calmly: "Mr. Chen, please tell us the quantity you need first. As long as the price is right, we will try our best to meet your needs."

Hearing this, Chen Cheng was completely relieved. Before coming, Generalissimo Jiang specifically confessed that as long as he could buy the weapons and ammunition needed by the troops, the price could be [-]% higher than the market price. [

Now, listening to Zhang Yunfei's tone, as long as the price is right, the quantity can basically be satisfied, so Chen Cheng felt relaxed for a while, but the expression on his face was not obvious, but Zhang Yunfei still accurately captured the subtleties of Chen Cheng's face Variety.

Noticing such a small change in Chen Cheng's face, Zhang Yunfei also laughed in his heart. Zhang Yunfei thought to himself, it seems that this time he can make a lot of money.

Chen Cheng, who was a little relieved in his heart, said slowly: "Commander Zhang, the price of the weapons and equipment this time is easy to negotiate, we will purchase all at the market price. How about it?"

Zhang Yunfei couldn't help smiling and said: "Mr. Chen, as far as I know, in our country's arms trading market, all kinds of weapons and equipment are now in high demand, basically because there are prices but no market."

Zhang Yunfei was right.Now, the whole country is at war, and there are quite a few underground arms trading markets throughout the country. These trading markets are only small in scale, but the prices are not ambiguous at all.One made in Hanyang has risen from dozens of dollars two years ago to hundreds of dollars.And it's also hard to find.

Now, in the coastal areas, except Beijing, Tianjin, Tang and Qinhuangdao, which have just been recovered by the No.30 Sixth Army.The rest of the area is basically controlled by the little devils, and foreign weapons and equipment are generally not available. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy satisfactory weapons and equipment.

Seeing what Zhang Yunfei said, Chen Cheng thought in his heart that what he said was completely correct, but there was still a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Director Zhang, even though that's what you said, we are purchasing in bulk this time. If the market price is used, it is already very expensive."

Zhang Yunfei couldn't help smiling and said: "Mr. Chen, in the current domestic market, you can't buy so many weapons and ammunition at one time, except for my No. 30 Sixth Army. There is no other one."

Zhang Yunfei has no fear, not afraid that Chen Cheng will not increase the price, it is completely a seller's market now, whether he wants to sell or not is just Zhang Yunfei's whim, if the price is not suitable.Zhang Yunfei doesn't have to sell it.

Hearing Zhang Yunfei's words, Chen Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Since this is the case, in order to show our sincerity, let's add [-]% more, how about a price that is [-]% higher than the market price?"

Zhang Yunfei said: "Mr. Chen, I also know that you bought these weapons and ammunition to fight devils. I won't make things difficult for you anymore. You will add [-]%."

"Okay! Deal!" Chen Cheng immediately agreed.

The price, which was [-]% higher than the market price, was completely within the scope allowed by Chairman Jiang, and Chen Cheng immediately agreed.

The price is only [-]% higher than the market price, and the Kuomintang has completely picked a big deal. This is mainly because Zhang Yunfei sees that this batch of weapons and ammunition is used for the sake of anti-Japanese.

Once the price is finalized, the subsequent negotiations will be much easier.

While thanking Zhang Yunfei for his national righteousness, Chen Cheng continued to say, "Director Zhang, we need to buy 7>

Hearing this, Fangzheng next to him looked shocked, and thought in his heart, what a big deal!

Fangzheng is responsible for the construction of the No.30 Sixth Army base and the production of various factories. He is very clear about the production and inventory of the No.30 Sixth Army's weapons and equipment. This time, the national army purchased so much ammunition at once. Most of the inventory will be emptied. [

7>

But Huanglongxia Arsenal has two 6>

Zhang Yunfei was also a little surprised when Chen Cheng reported such a large demand for ammunition in one go. Zhang Yunfei said to Fangzheng, "Old Fang, do we have such a large inventory?"

Hearing this, Fangzheng shook his head and said, "Commander-in-Chief, the quantity is too large this time. It may take us two or three months to provide these ammunition."

Fangzheng also said this on purpose, not wanting to expose the production capacity and inventory of the No. 30 Sixth Army, and deliberately said that it would take two or three months to get the ammunition together.

Zhang Yunfei also nodded understandingly, and said a little embarrassed: "Mr. Chen, the quantity you need is too large, so how about supplying it to you in batches in three months?"

Chen Cheng thought for a while, and agreed: "Director Zhang, no problem, you can provide us in batches, but the first batch of ammunition should not be less than one-third of this amount. Delivered to us within days."

"No problem, as soon as your payment arrives, we will deliver it to you immediately, and your plane can transport the ammunition away from Datong Airport."

Zhang Yunfei immediately agreed readily, and did not get entangled in this issue.

The Kuomintang has received support from the United States. Although there are not many fighter jets, there are still dozens of transport planes. These transport planes are much smaller than the transport planes of the No.30 Sixth Army, but each transport plane transports nearly ten tons of ammunition at a time. 』, not a problem at all.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei's willingness to agree so readily, Chen Cheng also said happily: "Commander Zhang, thank you for that. In addition, I don't know if there are machine guns and artillery for sale."

The national army is very short of heavy weapons such as machine guns and artillery. This time, Lao Jiang also wants to buy some from the No.30 Sixth Army.

No.30 The Sixth Group regained the Beijing and Tianjin areas, and seized countless little devil weapons. The weapons and equipment of the two 10,000+ little devils, except for a small part of the weapons and equipment of the local police brigade, sent part of the Eighth Route Army. Most of the weapons and equipment are still Lying in the warehouse and sleeping.

Zhang Yunfei thought, anyway, these weapons and equipment are useless for the time being, it is better to sell them all to Lao Jiang, which can be regarded as making use of the role of these weapons and equipment, and go to the battlefield again to beat the little devils.

Therefore, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly: "Mr. Chen, last time we liberated the Beijing and Tianjin areas, we seized some little devil's weapons and equipment. I don't know about these Japanese-style equipment. Are you interested?"

Japanese-style equipment is naturally better than domestic weapons such as those made in Hanyang and Zhongguan. Hearing this, Chen Cheng showed a very interested look, and said happily: "Commander Zhang, if it is Japanese-style equipment, of course we will I am willing to buy, but I don’t know how much you are selling?”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, and Fang Zheng said: "Old Fang, how much Japanese equipment do we need?"

Fangzheng immediately said seriously: "Commander-in-Chief, we still have more than 15 Type 7000 rifles, more than 3000 crooked machine guns, more than 300 Type 60 heavy machine guns, and more than 500 Type [-] infantry guns. , more than [-] [-]mm Japanese mortars."

Seeing that the No.30 Sixth Army still had so many Japanese-style equipment, Chen Cheng was also taken aback, and immediately said, "Director Zhang, your batch of weapons is too large. I need to ask the Chairman for instructions."

Zhang Yunfei made an excuse gesture, "Mr. Chen, it's okay, you go and ask for instructions. We'll just take a break and wait for you."

Chen Cheng took his own people, hurried out of the reception room, and used the radio station carried by his own people to send a report to Lao Jiang, reporting the situation here, and asking Lao Jiang for his opinion.

Zhang Yunfei saw Chen Cheng and his party going out, with a smile on his face, he picked up the hot tea on his table and took a sip, looking very leisurely and calm. [

Zhang Yunfei is sure that Lao Jiang will definitely pay for these weapons, Zhang Yunfei just needs to wait patiently.

Sure enough, about half an hour later, Chen Cheng and his entourage came in. After entering the door and sat down, Chen Cheng immediately said: "Commander Zhang, we just asked the committee members for instructions. We want all of your Japanese-style equipment. In terms of price, we still follow the high price." [-]% of the market price, what do you think?"

"Okay! Deal!" Zhang Yunfei readily agreed.

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei agreed, Chen Cheng said again: "The amount involved in this transaction is too large. It would be too troublesome to use Dayang. I'll see whether to use gold."

"Okay, then convert it all into gold."

There must be a lot of gold in the national government's treasury, and it would be best if it could be traded in gold. Gold is now a hard currency, whether it is domestic or international, it is very strong.

At present, the gold reserves of the No.30 Sixth Army mainly rely on the seizure and extortion of little devils. The total amount is only nearly a hundred tons. Gold is what Zhang Yunfei urgently needs. If he wants to establish a bank in the future, he must have a large amount of gold as a backing.

Zhang Yunfei stood up, took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, and said with a happy face: "Mr. Chen, happy cooperation!"

Chen Cheng also stood up immediately, and held hands tightly with Zhang Yunfei. This negotiation, after some haggling, was finally finalized.
