Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

A phalanx of light tanks and a phalanx of medium tanks. In order to increase the deterrence of this military parade, a phalanx of heavy tanks was carefully selected from thousands of captured Soviet tanks.

After the three tank phalanxes, it is the air force air show...

Fighter planes without ammunition, dive bombers, transport planes, torpedo attack planes... like eagles soaring in the sky, appeared in the military parade one after another.While shocking the major warlord forces in the country, it also deeply shocked the representatives of various countries who came to participate in the military parade.Let the European powers know that the Chinese National Defense Force at this moment is no longer a poorly equipped cold weapon force ten years ago, but a modern army equipped with a large number of advanced equipment.Not only defeated the Japanese army, which claimed to be the most powerful in Asia, but also defeated the Soviet Far East Red Army supported by the troops of the great powers...

The military parade that lasted for more than two hours was almost carried out amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of Shenyang people.When the tens of thousands of people from the three eastern provinces who came to watch the ceremony were still unsatisfied, they left the venue with a look of reluctance.The major domestic warlord forces headed by He Yingqin have all gathered in a meeting room of the General Command of the National Defense Forces.

Li Guosheng, who was wearing a general uniform, just walked into the conference room. Including He Yingqin, more than a dozen warlords who can be ranked in the country have all focused their attention on Li Guosheng at the same time.

After finding a place to sit down, Li Guosheng directly took out a list, distributed it to Liu Xiang and others with a hot face beside him, and said, "Minister He, everyone, this is the list of all kinds of Soviet-style weapons seized by our National Defense Forces this time." And the unit price of Japanese-style weapons. As for how much you want to buy, it depends on your financial resources...."

Everyone's attention was quickly attracted by the unit price of the weapons on their lists.

"One Soviet-made rifle with one hundred rounds of ammunition. 50 yuan..."

"A Soviet-made light machine gun with 500 rounds of ammunition, [-] yuan..."

"A Soviet-made heavy machine gun with 2000 rounds of matching bullets. [-] yuan ocean..."

"A Soviet-made mortar with fifty rounds costs 5000 yuan..."

"A Soviet-made 75mm caliber field gun with fifty rounds of shells. 1 yuan ocean..."

..........

"A Soviet-made 150mm caliber heavy howitzer plus fifty rounds of shells costs 5 yuan..."

After reading the list of quotations, the official of the national government responsible for the import of weapons and equipment sighed and analyzed to He Yingqin with emotion: "Minister He, the price is indeed not expensive, only about [-]% of the market price. And it is also free configuration With so much ammunition, the cost of purchasing this batch of equipment is only about half of the usual cost. It is definitely a bargain..."

He Yingqin nodded, and after a short thought, he said to Li Guosheng: "Commander Li, since the price given by the National Defense Forces is so cheap, I will not be polite. The central government purchased a total of 75 rifles and 120 light machine guns. , 150 heavy machine guns, 120 mortars, and [-] [-]mm field guns. Three regiments of [-]mm heavy artillery, that is, [-]... Do the math, how much is the total..."

Without Li Guosheng speaking, a staff officer sitting behind Li Guosheng.Already started to count up quickly.

Soon, a list full of various data was sent to Li Guosheng.

Li Guosheng nodded.Facing He Yingqin in front of him, he said: "Minister He, 500 rifles are worth 150 million yuan. Light machine guns are worth 200 million yuan, heavy machine guns are worth 250 million yuan. Mortars are worth 120 million yuan, field guns are worth 600 million yuan, and howitzers are worth 820 million yuan. Add up all the contents, and the total is 800 million oceans. In this way, I, Li Guosheng, make the decision, and I will erase the odds for you, and it will be an integer of [-] million oceans..."

After speaking, Li Guosheng handed the list to He Yingqin in front of him.Then, he asked meaningfully: "Minister He, the central government purchased more than 100 heavy guns at one time, so don't they need trucks to tow them... You know, a heavy howitzer weighs far more than five tons , Ordinary mules and horses can't transport at all..."

Seeing the expression of approval on He Yingqin's face, Li Guosheng continued: "Our National Defense Force still has a batch of captured Soviet cars in its hands. I don't know if Minister He needs them. If so, I will make the decision again. With 200 million oceans The price is 150 units sold to the Central Army. This price can definitely be called cheap. If you don’t believe it, you can ask your weapon and equipment procurement quartermaster....”

Seeing that the purchasing manager around him made a purchase gesture for himself, He Yingqin nodded affirmatively, and said: "Okay, then add a car purchase plan, 200 million oceans to buy 150 cars..."

In a blink of an eye, 2000 million oceans were in hand.Li Guosheng, who personally made the deal, couldn't help but sigh Lao Jiang's huge financial resources while being excited.After all, the central government army under the command of Lao Jiang is occupying the most affluent southern region in the country at this moment, and its financial resources are definitely not comparable to that of ordinary local governments.

With the leadership of the Central Army, the other warlord forces did not hesitate any longer and began to place orders with Li Guosheng.

Soon, another order with a total value of more than 2000 million oceans was placed in front of Li Guosheng.

When the total number of orders reached 4000 million, it may be due to concerns about one's own financial resources, and it is estimated that others will be suspicious, and no one party will place another order.At this moment, the national defense force has just sold less than [-]% of all weapons and equipment.

Thinking of the weapons and ammunition that are still piled up like scrap iron in the munitions warehouse.Li Guosheng quickly said the method he had already planned in his heart, hoping to do everything possible to squeeze out the funds in the hands of these warlord forces.

After glancing at the list in his hand, Li Guosheng said: "I know that there are still many people here who want to buy weapons and equipment, but they can't buy them because of limited financial resources. Here, I have a plan, which is to use people to exchange weapons... "

Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Li Guosheng explained with a smile on his face: "As you all know, our National Defense Forces have just recovered a large area of ​​land in the Far East. In addition, there are very few people in the three northeastern provinces. The large area of ​​fertile land is unavoidable." To reclamation. Therefore, the current three northeastern provinces urgently need a large number of immigrants transferred from the customs."

Just when everyone had suddenly realized expressions on their faces, Liu Xiang, the chairman of Sichuan Province with a huge population base.His eyes lit up, and he asked bluntly: "Commander Li, what is the price..."

After Liu Xiang finished speaking, other people's eyes also focused on Li Guosheng, waiting for Li Guosheng's answer.

Li Guosheng smiled and replied: "A household with one young and middle-aged person is 30 yuan, and a household with two young and middle-aged people is [-] yuan... and so on... In addition, our National Defense Forces will Set up an immigration office in each province. You only need to send the people who need to immigrate to the immigration office for registration, and then our national defense forces will transport them to the three northeastern provinces. In addition, during the entire immigration process, the local governments prohibit any fraudulent behavior. Once found , Our National Defense Forces will unilaterally cancel all orders and contracts, and at the same time, this local government will also be listed as a hostile force of the National Defense Forces...."

Seeing the looks of eagerness on everyone's faces, Li Guosheng changed the subject and continued: "Of course. To obtain weapons through immigration, which costs almost no money, there must be a prerequisite. That is, you use How much value of weapons did Dayang buy before he could exchange immigrants for weapons of the same value..."

The National Defense Forces directly set up immigration offices in each province, which means that they only need to spend a certain amount of manpower and financial resources.You can send tens of thousands of people under the rule to the Immigration Office of the National Defense Forces in exchange for the weapons and equipment you urgently need.

Compared with the value of these weapons and ammunition, these payments can be said to be insignificant.It's as if the National Defense Forces gave themselves so many weapons and equipment for nothing.

Thinking of this, the faces of all the heroes who were already eager to try.It has been gradually replaced by contemplation.Think about whether you can increase your purchasing power, because your purchasing power has increased.You will increase the amount of equipment that the National Defense Forces give you for free.It also means that I use double the funds to buy twice the weapons and equipment from the National Defense Forces.

More importantly, this rare opportunity may only be encountered once in a lifetime.After all, it is impossible for the national defense force, which is in full swing, to destroy so many foreign enemies and capture so many weapons and equipment in the future.

Just when everyone was deep in thought, as the Central Army gradually took control of Henan and other places, it was precisely because of how to relieve the refugees and hungry people in Henan and other provinces, and get rid of He Yingqin, who might drag down the central government's burden, and had a headache.

His eyes lit up, and he suddenly found a good opportunity for the central government to kill two birds with one stone.Without hesitation, he was the first to stand up and speak: "Commander Li, what you said is true... You know, Henan and other places are currently suffering from famine due to drought, and there are hungry people everywhere. If the National Defense Forces really agree to exchange the hungry people for weapons and equipment, the central government will immediately organize manpower and material resources to send all the hungry people in these provinces to the three northeastern provinces and hand them over to the National Defense Forces for relief..."

In a few years, because of the drought, the two kept fleeing to Henan and other places in Shandong Province, although the number of hungry people has exceeded 500 million.However, because of the unique geographical environment of the Central Plains and the huge population base, at this moment, the number of hungry people who are still in these provinces in urgent need of treatment is still more than 2000 million, or even more...

Such a large number of hungry people, if they were all sent to the three northeastern provinces, would almost exceed the aborigines in the three northeastern provinces.More importantly, the food and supplies that tens of millions of hungry people need every day is absolutely astronomical.

At that time, the arrival of tens of millions of hungry people will not only not increase the strength of the National Defense Forces, but the National Defense Forces will also be overwhelmed by the huge burden of disaster relief, and even the economy will go bankrupt.After all, the three northeastern provinces have just fallen into the hands of the National Defense Forces, and they cannot provide any help to the National Defense Forces.Facing tens of millions of starving people, what the National Defense Forces can rely on is the base area in Shandong Province.

Relying on the strength of a single province, after already relieving more than 2000 million victims of disasters, another 2000 million victims of disasters will be rescued. Even if gold and grain are everywhere in Shandong Province, it is impossible to feed so many people.

Therefore, in the eyes of all the heroes, as long as Li Guosheng is not a fool in front of him, he will not agree to take on this burden that may overwhelm him.

However, what is surprising is that the smiling Li Guosheng was not frightened by the figure of 2000 million.After smiling, he replied to He Yingqin: "As long as the central government agrees to cooperate, our National Defense Forces can take over these disaster victims. However, because the central government only purchased 2000 million ocean weapons. Correspondingly, these victims can only be transferred from the National Defense Forces. In exchange for weapons and equipment worth 2000 million oceans..."

Li Guosheng answered readily.Although it made He Yingqin feel a little bad.However, He Yingqin has already been hit by the golden egg of 2000 million weapons and equipment.His whole body was being shrouded in surprise from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't think about it at all.After a brief moment of excitement, he continued to speak firmly to Li Guosheng.

"Commander Li, in order to show the central government's support for the National Defense Forces and these disaster victims, on behalf of the central government, I have decided to increase the total purchase of these weapons from 2000 million to 5000 million..."

A one-time purchase of weapons and equipment worth 5000 million yuan is a huge pressure even for the central government that controls Jiangnan.visible.In front of him, He Yingqin attached great importance to this opportunity and the large amount of Soviet-made weapons and ammunition in the hands of the National Defense Forces.

Faced with this unprecedented super order since the founding of the Republic of China, while Li Guosheng showed surprise on his face, a trace of expectation gradually appeared in his heart.

The central government, which said just now that its financial resources are limited, more than doubled the amount of weapons purchased without even thinking about the huge pie it offered.What about other people, other people who are deep in thought, will they get enough weapons and equipment.Do you not hesitate to spend your own money?

In fact, just after the group of heroes heard He Yingqin's decision, a new idea and worry suddenly rose from their hearts.They had to increase the quantity of weapons purchased this time.

Weapons and equipment worth 2000 million yuan are enough for the central government army to equip 15 troops.But He Yingqin in front of him was not satisfied, and bought equipment worth 5000 million oceans in one go.Coupled with the almost 5000 million weapons and equipment that the National Defense Forces gave away for free, it is completely sufficient for the central government to form a well-equipped army of 80 at one time.

The central government spared no expense.What is the purpose of forming so many troops at once?Is it to deal with the National Defense Forces, or to eliminate these small warlords... After some comparison and analysis.The latter is significantly more likely than the former.

Therefore, in the face of the strong military pressure that the central government may bring to them, more than a dozen warlords, big and small, had to bear the pain and give up their own money, and began to increase the amount of weapons they purchased from the National Defense Forces.

Liu Xiang, chairman of Sichuan Province, has a huge population base, but because of the backward equipment of the army, the army in his hand cannot be developed.After briefly analyzing the various financial resources in his hands, he said firmly: "Commander Li, I want to increase the purchase of equipment for the Sichuan Army..."

Under the guidance of Li Guosheng and everyone around him, Liu Xiang continued to say with a look of heartache: "The total quantity purchased by our Sichuan Province this time has increased to 1000 million oceans. In addition, to show our Sichuan Province's support for the development of the three northeastern provinces and the Far East , decided to immigrate 500 million people to the Northeast in batches within the next year..."

After Liu Xiang finished speaking, there was no hesitation on the faces of the others.They all reported to Li Guosheng their latest weapons purchase quantity...

Soon, the total amount of arms procurement worth 5000 million yuan increased to 3000 million yuan because of He Yingqin's leadership and exemplary role.Of course, the number of immigrants involved has also changed from more than 2000 million hungry people in Henan and other places to 4000 million today...

Looking at the weapons procurement list just calculated by the combat staff in his hand, Li Guosheng could hardly believe his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, making sure that he didn't look at the eyes.Li Guosheng had to sigh with emotion, at this moment, the strong financial resources in the hands of various warlords.In a situation where starving people are everywhere in the sphere of influence and starving to death can be seen everywhere, these warlords still have so much wealth in their hands, but they are reluctant to give out a little money to help the people under their rule.

After feeling a bit of sadness for the people and warlords of this era, a bit of relief also slowly surfaced on Li Guosheng's face.Because, the 4000 million people who are about to immigrate to the three northeastern provinces will completely get rid of hunger and cold, get rid of the oppression of warlords from now on, and truly become a Chinese who can hold their heads high.

After glancing at the group of tycoons in front of him who were excited because they bought a large number of weapons and only cared about their own power, Li Guosheng's disappointment grew even stronger.However, as the commander-in-chief, he has learned how to hide his inner thoughts.

When everyone's eyes focused on him again, Li Guosheng said with a smile on his face: "For the transaction process of these weapons and equipment, my thoughts are as follows.... The transaction will be divided into two batches. The first batch is everyone. Use this batch of weapons and equipment purchased by Dayang."

"As long as everyone prepares the funds properly, our national defense force will immediately send a transport ship to send the same amount of weapons and equipment to your control area, pay with one hand, and deliver with one hand... Of course, those who follow this batch of weapons and equipment to your control area will also There are relevant personnel of our National Defense Forces who are preparing to establish immigration offices in the areas under your control. Of course, in order to reassure everyone, the number of troops sent by our National Defense Forces to each immigration office will never exceed one company, so as not to threaten the security of the areas under their respective control..."

"After the completion of the first batch of transactions, the second batch of transactions will be carried out. However, the location of this batch of transactions is set in the three northeastern provinces. That is to say, after the immigrants sent from various places are sent back to the three northeastern provinces by the navy fleet of our National Defense Forces, our navy fleet When the next batch of immigrants is received, the corresponding amount of weapons and equipment will be brought back to you...until the transaction is completed...."

After discussing in low voices with each other, more than a dozen people responded in unison: "Commander Li, there is no problem, just follow what you just said."

And at this moment, he thought of the central government army that had suffered heavy losses in the battle against the red party army.He Yingqin, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, followed up and said: "Commander Li, here, I will first deliver 1000 million oceans to the National Defense Forces. I hope that the National Defense Forces will ship the corresponding weapons and ammunition to Nanjing immediately. Our central government urgently needs these batches." The addition of weapons and equipment..."

"No problem..." Li Guosheng responded readily. (To be continued..)
