Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 7: Arms Trading

Chen Feng did go out, but he didn't go to the military camp, let alone Daqingshan, but to Beiping.

There are two purposes for Chen Feng to go to Beiping this time. The first is of course for weapons and ammunition, and the other is for medicines. These two things are necessities for war and must be obtained before the war breaks out.

Chen Feng met the German that Chen Binggong mentioned at Beiping Chen Jiliang. Chen Feng knew that the Japanese had infiltrated China to the point of pervasiveness, so he didn't dare to meet this German in a big hotel.

Von Delisch, a typical European, but not as rigid as a German.The first time he saw Feng Chen, the German expressed his surprise at Chen Feng's youth.

"Fon Delixi, I'll call you Delixi. You are very clear about my purpose. Now we can talk?" Chen Fengmo said straight to the point.

"Hahaha, Chen, you are more straightforward than I imagined. As you wish, please tell me what you want and how much you want. You know that if the quantity is less, I will not trade with you." Feng . Delixi Road.

"You don't have to worry about the quantity, I'm just worried about whether the goods in your inventory can satisfy my appetite." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"No...no...no, Chen, you are doubting the ability of a great German fire dealer, aren't you?" Von Delisi said dissatisfied.

"Really, then let me tell you the great Mr. von Delisi, I need 2000 pistols produced by Mauser in your country, each with 500 rounds of bullets. 1924-style rifles, each with 1000 bullets Ammunition. In addition, I need 1000 Czech light machine guns and 500 Maxim heavy machine guns. In addition, I also need 80 100 mortars, 80 mountain guns, and as many sniper rifles as I want. Do you have any in stock?" Chen Feng Said disdainfully.

"No, no, Chen, you are joking, you know, such a large batch of munitions is enough to equip two infantry divisions, it is impossible for me to have such a large inventory, and no arms dealer will have so many , God, I swear!"

"Not necessarily. As far as I know, the Yankee in Shanghai can provide such a large batch of arms in a short period of time, or even more. It's just that I only like German goods, that's all. If you can't meet my requirements, I have to I'm looking for that American cowboy." Chen Feng said.

"No, Chen, you know, American products are rough industrial products, while our German products are exquisite handicrafts. The two products are different concepts. They are different. You can't choose them. .”

"No, in my opinion, as long as it can kill people, everything else is the same." Chen Feng retorted.

"Well, Chen, to be honest, I really don't have so many stocks here. I only have 1924 50-style Mauser rifles you mentioned, but there are quite a few Czech-style light machine guns, a total of 36. You know, you Chinese like this guy very much. In addition, there are 12 Maxim heavy machine guns, only 25 mortars, 6 mountain guns, and not many sniper rifles, only 120, but there are [-]x scopes. Quite a few, about [-] or so, I only have so much in stock." Feng Delixi said.

"Don't you have a pistol?" The Mauser pistol is a kind of pistol with very good performance. This kind of pistol, which is commonly known as the box cannon or the bastard box, has almost become the symbol of this era, and Chen Feng has admired it for a long time.

"I'm sorry Chen, the pistol you mentioned is indeed very popular in your country, and I've already sold it out here." Delixi said apologetically.

Chen Feng was sure that this guy must have something to do with the German army. On the one hand, it was because Germans with the word Feng in their names were all nobles, and those who were not nobles would not dare to use this word at all.In addition, there are significantly more Czech light machine guns in this guy's inventory than other goods, which also illustrates this problem.

Chen Feng knew that the reason why the German army was able to recover in just a few years after Hitler came to power, and even almost wiped out Europe a few years later, was related to an arsenal.This arsenal is the Skoda arsenal in the Czech Republic. At that time, the production capacity of this arsenal ranked first in Europe, and it was also a comprehensive large-scale arsenal.

After the First World War, the German military industry was seriously injured, including Krupp, Germany's largest military industry company. It was not until [-] that it was barely able to recover to the production capacity during the First World War.However, after Hitler annexed the Czech Republic in a dangerous move, Krupp recovered after absorbing all the essence of Skoda, laying the foundation for Germany's rapid rise, and the Czech light machine gun was produced by the Skoda Arsenal.

Reminiscent that it is not long before Germany annexed this huge arsenal, and the weapons produced by the Skoda arsenal are not appreciated by the German army, so the only way is to sell them abroad through arms dealers, so there are so many Czech light weapons here. The machine gun went off, so Chen Feng concluded that this guy must have something to do with the German army.

After figuring this out, Chen Feng let go of his courage and said, "Tell me about your price. If it's suitable, I can eat all the goods in your hand, and at the same time, I can order more weapons with you."

"God, great Chen, you are really a blessing from God. According to your domestic prices, each rifle with 100 rounds of ammunition is only 80 silver dollars, a light machine gun with 10 base bullets is 200 silver dollars, and a heavy machine gun with 10 base bullets is 350 silver dollars Silver dollars, 500 silver dollars for mortars, 800 silver dollars for mountain cannons, 5 bases each for shells. As for sniper rifles, since there are only 25 of them, I can decide to give them to you, how about it?"

"It's too expensive. If the retail price is barely acceptable, the price is completely unacceptable for such a large quantity like mine. A rifle with 500 rounds of bullets costs 60 silver dollars, a light machine gun with 20 base bullets costs 180 silver dollars, and a heavy machine gun with 20 bases costs 300 silver dollars." Silver dollars, 10 silver dollars for 500 mortar shells, and 10 silver dollars for mountain cannon shells. In addition, you will give me 800 grenades and three radio stations as gifts." Chen Feng said.

"Chen, the price is too low, it's totally unacceptable, it won't work."

"It's okay. This single order alone is enough for you to do for a year. Think about how much money this will be, 85 silver dollars. In addition, I can also order the same amount of ammunition from you, except for light machine guns. The quantity doesn't need to be so large, [-] is enough, and the heavy machine guns need to be increased to [-]." Chen Feng said loudly.

"The price is still too low, I can't explain it to my boss when I go back..."

"Delixi, if you can't do it, I have to go to the Americans. I believe they will trade with me at this price. At most, it will take a little longer. It doesn't matter, I can afford it."

"No...no, Chen, you are really a cunning businessman, just like your father. Well, I agree to trade with you, but I need you to pay in cash, and you need to pay a 10% deposit in advance for the armament you ordered ,what you think?"

Chen Feng thought for a while and then said: "Cash payment is fine. As for the deposit, it is not impossible to pay, but I also need a guarantee. In this way, I heard that you can get medicines. As long as you can get me medicines worth 30 silver dollars , I can pay you a deposit of 10 silver dollars in advance."

"Yes, but the medicine will take a while!"

"How long, I'm afraid it won't work if it's too long?" Chen Feng was worried that it would be delayed until the war broke out, and even if he could get the medicine, he wouldn't be able to ship it back.

"Not too long, a week at most."

"Okay, that's it."

"Chen, happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

The transaction with Delixi went smoothly, and it only took five days for this guy to mobilize all the goods.Worried about being discovered, Chen Feng ordered people to pick up the goods from German foreign firms in batches, and then slowly transport the general ammunition to Xinghe County through the carriages of the Chen family's grain transportation team.

Anyway, all the checkpoints along the road, big and small, knew about Chen Ji grain store, and there were usually a large number of grain store horse-drawn carriages passing by.

Chen Feng is not afraid of these squadrons, whether it is Song Zheyuan's No.20 Ninth Army or Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army, as long as they have money, they can buy them. What Chen Feng is worried about is attracting Ri's attention.If Ri himself knew that there was such a large batch of arms flowing into Saibei at this time, maybe he would send a bomber to intercept it halfway. ah.

But what Chen Feng didn't expect was that even though he did it in such a secret manner, Ri himself still discovered the clues.

Peking. Yamato Martial Arts Field.

A middle-aged man with a grim expression sat at his desk, carefully wiping his gleaming samurai sword.

"Report!" A young man in black samurai uniform reported.

"Come in!"

"Say it!" the middle-aged man said with care.

"Report to Commander, our people just sneaked into the German foreign company, and all the goods there have been shipped out, but we found the shipment list of the foreign company that day. The goods shipped out of the German foreign company in the past few days are arms and medicines. "

"Nani, Mr. Takeda, can you find out the quantity of this batch of arms and the details of the buyer?"

"Report to Colonel, the number is unknown, but it is estimated that the number will not be too much. Because we only found 80 rifles and 10 light machine guns on today's shipment. Although the actual number may be much more than this data, but overall It seems that the quantity will not be too large, and the impact on the empire will be minimal. But on that shipment list, we found a large amount of medicines, especially penicillin and anesthetics for surgery, as well as painkillers and some medical equipment. "

"Then who is the buyer? It can't be Song Zheyuan, could it be Zhang Xueliang or Yan Xishan who worked here?"

"Report to Commander, it should be Yan from Shanxi. Because the convoy of the Chen Family Grain Company was in charge of transporting these supplies, and the identity of the person who traded with the Germans has already been found out. This person's name is Chen Feng. He is the head of a local security regiment in Suiyuan Province, China, and a subordinate of Fu Zuoyi in Suiyuan Province, and Fu Zuoyi is Yan Xishan's confidant. If you use it yourself, then the buyer behind the scenes should be Yan from Shanxi."

"Yo Xi, Takeda-kun, your analysis is very correct." The Japanese Army Colonel said with satisfaction.

"Then did we send someone to destroy this batch of supplies?"

"No, the imperial jihad is about to begin. We must not cause any trouble at this time, let alone have a direct conflict with the Chinese people. Chen Feng, this is a key person. Send someone to watch him, and try to get close to this person if possible. "

"Hay!"
