Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

military purchase

The more than 3 elites of the Ninth Army were personally drilled by Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, and Li Guosheng combined the infantry training manuals that had been completed by later generations as a reference.Army commander Li Guosheng doesn't need to worry about the troops at all.

In terms of civil affairs, since a "big shake-up" of all local officials in the entire SAR, coupled with the continuous advancement of land reform.All the "government" officials in the entire SAR, under the leadership of the vice "chairman" Mo Bin, are developing step by step in the direction that the people want...>

Li Guosheng, who had really become a hands-off shopkeeper and was slowly relaxing, finally had time to start thinking about his next plan.At the same time, according to your current strength, determine your new journey in the future... >

In order to be able to give the Japanese army a thunderous blow in the upcoming September [-]th Incident...>

As far as the Ninth Army under his command is concerned, in terms of equipment, it can be regarded as second to none among all the armies in the country.However, even so, his own army has a very huge disadvantage that may even kill him, that is, there is not enough logistical support.

In the battle against Lao Jiang, although a large amount of ammunition was seized.but.Under the Ninth Army's live ammunition training one after another regardless of consumption, even the capture of blood volume, there are times when it bottoms out...>

Just when Li Guosheng was thinking about how to develop his army and solve various problems.Li Guanghua, the old partner in charge of logistics, walked into his office quickly.

"Old Li, what's the matter. So anxious...>

"Army seat, the troops can't continue training like this regardless of consumption... Continue to practice like this. Even if we have more logistics reserves and more ammunition, we can't afford the troops' consumption... >

Seeing Li Guosheng who didn't understand for a while, Li Guanghua continued to speak: "Senior, the live ammunition training of the troops is really a waste of ammunition. For a 15 army, even if no one consumes five rounds of ammunition every day, all of them add up." A full [-] rounds of ammunition will also be used...>

"Used so fast...>

500 million rounds of ammunition, at first glance, looks like a lot.However, after the real average is in the hands of 160 elites, it will only look like [-] rounds per person... >

After a brief period of contemplation, Li Guosheng directly asked with a solemn face: "Lao Li, apart from the reserves for war, what is the most ammunition we can use...>

"100 million rounds, this is already the limit of the limit...>

With 100 million rounds of ammunition, Li Guosheng immediately thought of a specific countermeasure.Facing Li Guanghua, he ordered in a deep voice: "Well, take out 50 rounds of ammunition and give it to the chief of staff, so that the chief of staff can save some money...>

"In addition, after you go back, immediately report all the ammunition and the quantity that we lack in the logistics warehouse to me, I will be useful... >

"Army, what do you mean...>

"Military purchases...>

"We don't have it ourselves, and if we can't carry out our own production, then there is only one way to buy arms. Use the ocean to exchange all kinds of equipment and materials we urgently need from arms dealers. Of course, if possible, exchange materials At the same time, we will directly purchase several ammunition production lines from abroad, and we will produce the ammunition ourselves, at least to the point of self-sufficiency in rifle bullets...>

Having said this, Li Guosheng seemed to have thought of something.He turned to Li Guanghua and asked, "Old Li, sufficient funds are necessary for military purchases. After such a long time, I don't know how much funds we have in our hands. Now that we have said this, you Butler, let me know the truth first, so that I have an idea... >

Speaking of funds, Li Guanghua's dignified face just now became relaxed, and he said with a smile on his face: "Military seat, when it comes to the funds in our hands, I can only use one word to describe it, that is super more than you can imagine."

"Since we became an army until now, there are several main sources of large funds: the first is the property of Sun Chuanfang that we accidentally seized on the battlefield during the bloody battle in Longtan last year...>

"All of these items added up, after deducting the army's expenses over the past year and the huge amount of land purchased and redeemed from local governments a few days ago, we still have a total of 893 kilograms of gold left in our hands. The total amount of foreign exchange is about 540 U.S. dollars...Of course, in addition to these real hard currencies. We also have a large number of antiques and gold and silver jewelry that cannot be valued.”[

Shocked, even though Li Guosheng came from later generations, after hearing this number, he fell into deep shock.However, after the shock, a hint of surprise quickly covered Li Guosheng's face.

Abundant capital.It means that for this military purchase, I have sufficient backing to purchase all kinds of materials that the entire Ludong Special Zone urgently needs.It also means.During the arms purchase process, I have enough cards to bargain with the other party.

Thinking of this, Li Guosheng thought.Immediately, a specific idea of ​​using money emerged.Facing Li Guanghua, he directly ordered: "Lao Li, gold, foreign exchange, and antiques, these are the guarantees for the future development of our Ludong Special Zone, and they must not be touched... >

"However, we are bound to win this military purchase. So, my idea is to prepare 2000 million oceans to deal with this military purchase...>

"Please rest assured, the military seat, I will go to prepare immediately... >

"Well, after we go down, let Dean Lan from the field hospital come to my office. In addition to equipment and ammunition, this military purchase is also the focus of our procurement. However, we 』I don’t know anything about the product, and Dean Lan is proficient in several languages. In order to make this military purchase go smoothly, I plan to take Dean Lan to Qingdao to complete this military purchase...>

A strange smile flashed across the corner of Li Guanghua's mouth.Facing Li Guosheng, he replied directly with a smile on his face: "Please rest assured, the military seat, I will call my sister-in-law right away... >

After finishing speaking, before Li Guosheng could react, he walked out of the office...

Qingdao, as an important treaty port, especially has been leased by Germany for a period of time.The proportion of foreigners in the entire urban area is almost the highest in the entire Shandong Province.The military purchase that Li Guosheng wanted to carry out was directly selected in Qingdao.

Although the current Qingdao is still in the hands of the Japanese army, with the end of the war, the vigilance of the Japanese army staying in Qingdao has also decreased.In addition, there are still a large number of foreigners in the city, especially the Germans.In Qingdao, which is not big, except for the military port which is under heavy martial law by the Japanese army, the rest of the area, including the entire urban area, is almost completely open to the outside world...>

Under the protection of a whole squadron of the 'Snow Leopard' Special Forces, Li Guosheng and Lan Ruoxin, who pretended to be lovers, hardly encountered any obstacles, and directly stayed in a hotel where a large number of foreigners gathered...

After the test of life and death in the flames of war and the revealing of their hearts on the battlefield, neither of them showed any discomfort regarding their current couple identities...

In the lobby of the hotel, under Li Guosheng's special instructions, two people dressed as a rich man and a young lady are eating dinner while paying attention to the foreigners who are chatting and laughing... >

To be clear, at this moment, in the eyes of many foreigners, China is simply a country full of gold.Almost every foreigner who comes to China, relying on his status as a foreigner, is doing very well... >

As a result, in the entire restaurant, looking around, every foreigner's face unconsciously showed a hint of arrogance and excitement.

And among all the foreigners talking and laughing, two Germans who were less than ten meters away from him caught Li Guosheng's attention>

Different from others, these two people were facing the two bottles of white wine on the table, drinking heavily.Obviously, the two people in front of them must have been greatly stimulated, and they are drinking away their sorrows...>

Just when Li Guosheng wanted to know the identity of the other party and the reason for drinking to relieve his worries.One of them complained loudly to his colleague sitting in front of him with the influence of alcohol.

"Jack, if we can't receive a big business next month and sell the batch of goods in our hands. The two of us will be fired by the head office... >

"It's all the damn Japanese and Chinese security divisions. Without their war, with this Jiaoji railway line that runs through the entire Shandong, there will be many people rushing for the weapons and ammunition in our hands. But , since the Jiaoji railway line was cut off because of Champa, our weapons... can no longer be transported...>

"Could it be...>

"Tom...>

Call in the waiter, after a simple inquiry.Combined with the conversation the other party just had.Li Guosheng directly affirmed that the two Germans in front of him were the ones he was looking for...

With the end of World War I, the demand for weapons in various countries in the world also decreased suddenly.And the war-torn China has undoubtedly become a dumping ground for weapons from all over the world.As the number one arms company in Germany, Knuber, of course, the focus of arms dumping has shifted to China.At this moment, whether it is Shanghai or Guangzhou...>

Put it before.That is, before Li Guosheng officially entered Shandong.Relying on the chaos of Shandong, whether it is warlords big or small from all over the country, or those powerful armed servants who want to buy weapons and equipment, they are the best customers of these two people.In other words, weapons in the hands of two people.There is no need to worry about sales.

But now, with his arrival, Ludong Special Zone has completely become his jurisdiction.The weapons and equipment in the hands of the two of them immediately lost their marketability and became unsalable items... >

As a sales manager, if you can't sell the goods in your hands.Then, waiting for him, there is only one result left, to be fired directly by the head office...>

Thinking of the loss he caused to the other party with his ban on guns, a strange smile immediately appeared on Li Guosheng's face.Turning to Lan Ruoxin who was beside her, she said, "Ruoxin, wait for me here, I'll come back when I go...>

When Li Guosheng walked up to the two of them, the two Germans were still frowning, drinking away their worries...>

Li Guosheng smiled, and said to the two of them: "You two gentlemen, I wonder if I can sit here...>

"Sit down...>

Because what the two of them talked about was not a secret, facing Li Guosheng who was sitting next to him, they still had no scruples, and continued to complain to each other in front of Li Guosheng... >

When he learned from the two people that there were more than a thousand rifles in their hands that were not sold, Li Guosheng directly interrupted the other party's complaints and said, "Mr. weapons and equipment, I wonder if you can give me a discounted price...>

"What, you buy weapons...>

Li Guosheng shook his head with a smile, and continued: "This gentleman is very correct. If it is an outsider, even if he buys a weapon, he will not be able to pass through the defense area of ​​the Ninth Army...>

"The Ninth Army...>

"Of course, otherwise, what do you think I'm here for?" Under the expectant eyes of the two, Li Guosheng nodded with a smile.

"Jack...>

Li Guosheng nodded acquiescingly, then waved his hand again, and suggested: "Of course, but, do you think the restaurant is a suitable place for us to do business...>

"Of course, we also have this intention..." Hearing the generous reward, the two of them nodded their heads in agreement as if seeing a handful of dollars dangling in front of their faces. (To be continued..)
