Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 14 Alarming Little Zhuge?
"Cannon?" Lu Yuhua was stunned and pretended to be thinking hard.

Just as he expected, these military commanders all wanted cannons.

This is normal, after all, we have been bombed by the Japanese.

Now when we hear about arms dealers, our first reaction is whether they have cannons.

If you want to have cannons, you have to buy a few of them.

Damn it!
Next time, we’ll let the Japanese have a taste of what it feels like to be bombed.

"Yes, it was artillery. Any kind of artillery would do, as long as it was artillery. Damn it, you don't know if you haven't been to the frontline. The Japs' artillery shells were everywhere, like they were free. I tell you, half of my troops were killed or wounded, and most of them were killed by the Japs' artillery shells." When talking about the sad part, Zhao Qidong couldn't hold back his tears.

"If I had artillery at that time, I would have made sure to let them have a taste of the bombing."

"Sir, didn't your superiors give you any artillery support?" Logically speaking, the Security Corps is not a second-rate unit and its combat effectiveness is pretty good, so it should be given some artillery support.

"The superiors? Who the hell cares about your life or death? So many troops need artillery support, where can we get so many artillery shells? So, it's better to ask yourself for help than to ask others. If I had artillery, would I need to ask others for help?" Zhao Qidong couldn't help but complain.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua nodded and even gave a thumbs up.

"You are wise, sir."

"Okay, do you have a gun? Show me your aim." Zhao Qidong rolled his eyes and continued to ask.

"Let me think about it. I think I said something like a mortar or something. You know my financial situation. It was not easy for me to gather a platoon of German equipment at that time."

"I don't even dare to think about a mortar. Besides, even if I bought one, no one would use it." Lu Yuhua said awkwardly.

"Well, it's good to have this self-awareness. Mortars require professional artillerymen to use them, and they are very expensive. Generally, people who don't have the means simply cannot afford them." Zhao Qidong patted the other person on the shoulder and advised kindly.

"Is this merchant still in Liuzhou? You can ask him to come to the Guilin camp. There are quite a lot of defeated troops nearby. Some have been cancelled and merged into other troops. Some have lost a lot of weapons and equipment and cannot be replenished for a while, so there is a great demand here."

Lu Yuhua naturally knew all of this. Wasn't he here just to sell arms?
Use the money earned from arms to increase the number of troops crazily.

All this preparation with Zhao Qidong was done just to get him to help him sell arms.

"You are wise, sir. It's a pity. If I were an arms dealer, I would definitely make a fortune." Lu Yuhua couldn't help rubbing his hands, so that the other party would think that he was a greedy person.

Sure enough, after seeing this scene, Zhao Qidong immediately relaxed his vigilance.

"You can send someone back to ask the arms dealer if he's interested. His shipload of arms can definitely equip several regiments, so we can definitely make money."

"Ah? Then I'll send someone to ask?" Lu Yuhua hesitated.

"It would be best if he could come here in person." Zhao Qidong reminded.

"I don't think it's likely. He doesn't seem to want others to know about his existence. He said that if the Japanese knew about it, he would be arrested and taken back to his country, and he wouldn't be able to sell arms. He doesn't want to cause any disputes."

"The last time we met, he was just an intermediary, and I didn't see the real person."

"If it weren't for the fact that the weapons were real, I would have suspected that they were trying to rip me off."

At first, Zhao Qidong was a little skeptical about Lu Yuhua’s words, but after hearing the rest, he burst into laughter again.

"Your money may seem like a lot, but it's nothing compared to the arms deal."

"You are so enthusiastic about helping others sell products, there must be some benefit."

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua pretended that his thoughts had been seen through, and said with some fear.

"Sir...I..."

"Nothing happens without profit. You're selling so hard, but I wouldn't believe it if there's no benefit." Zhao Qidong smiled.

"Okay, you stay in this barracks for the next two days. I'm going to go see Commander Bai first. If this German guy really has a lot of German equipment, it would be a good opportunity."

Having said that, without waiting for Lu Yuhua to speak, he directly gestured for him to leave first.

Lu Yuhua did not expect that the matter would actually reach Bai Chongxi, which really surprised him.

It was mainly his fault, saying it was a shipload of ammunition. This sounded like it must have been several regiments.

According to the standards of a German-equipped division, it also has heavy artillery.

It’s definitely a big business.

Zhao Qidong definitely couldn't handle it all by himself.

Only the Gui army can take over the entire Guilin area.

As for the Guangdong Army?

Maybe give them some soup.

Forget about the Central Army.

"Damn it, wealth and honor come in danger. Isn't it just a ship of arms? It's not a big deal. As long as this batch of arms can be sold, we can make at least hundreds of thousands. With this money, even a ship of arms is not a problem."

"Besides, no one stipulates that we have to deliver it immediately? Make up an excuse. The Japanese are still occupying Qinzhou Bay." Lu Yuhua, who was originally a little scared, suddenly felt that he was fine again.

On the other hand, Bai Chongxi was troubled by the tragic victory in the Battle of Southern Guangxi.

The battle seemed to be won, but in fact it was lost.

The Fifth Army was an elite force, and they suffered heavy losses.

Not to mention other troops.

Now these troops are reaching out for supplies.

In front of him was a thick stack of telegrams.

Basically, they asked for soldiers, weapons and equipment, as well as military pay and food.

"Sir, Major General Zhao Qidong from the Security Corps wants to see you." At this time, the adjutant walked in and reported in a low voice.

"What is he here for? Let him have a good rest, as there will be a big battle coming up." Bai Chongxi frowned slightly. He has had a lot of troubles recently. It is said that Shancheng will hold him accountable.

He really wanted to curse.

Is it because he failed to lead the team?
But of course these cannot be revealed in front of his subordinates.

"He said he wanted to report something about arms." The adjutant thought about it and decided to help because they were all from the same hometown.

"Arms?" Bai Chongxi was already worried about arms, so when he heard the news about arms, he naturally became interested.

"Okay, let him in."

"Yes."

Not long after, Zhao Qidong came before Bai Chongxi, and with him came the gift given to him by Lu Yuhua.

"What is this?" Bai Chongxi saw the weapons held in his adjutant's hands at a glance.

"Sir, this is the munitions I was talking about." Zhao Qidong simply repeated the conversation with Lu Yuhua in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

After hearing what Zhao Qidong said, Bai Chongxi's eyes lit up. He quickly stood up and walked to the adjutant, looking at the weapon in front of him.

He picked up the Mauser K98 rifle.

"Yes, it is indeed made in Germany." Bai Chongxi naturally knew about guns and recognized it at a glance.

"Is this the MP38 submachine gun? Have you tried it?"
