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

Chapter 22 The Gui army’s appetite is too scary!

I have to say that Lun Youlong is definitely a top expert.

But when it comes to making big promises, Lu Yuhua is definitely better than Long Wenzhang.

At least Long Wenjian really believed it.

There was no way. With so many weapons and equipment in front of him, how could he not believe it?
In the eyes of others, it may be an empty promise.

But for Long Wenjian, this is true.

Just as Lu Yuhua continued to chat with Long Wenjian, he was called away by Zhao Qidong's men.

On the way, Lu Yuhua reviewed the situation for a while and felt that Zhao Qidong's contact with him at this time could only be a good thing and not a bad thing.

After all, he is the only agent of the Germans.

If something goes wrong, the weapons and equipment will definitely be lost.

Do not!
Perhaps, the other party approached him to test his influence in Germany.

If the weight is not heavy, it will probably be discarded.

"It seems that I have to find a German as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be exposed sooner or later." Lu Yuhua knew that this situation could only be concealed for a while, and it would definitely be exposed after a long time.

After all, so many German equipment are not fake.

Moreover, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses at the hands of the German-equipped divisions in the Battle of Shanghai.

Now seeing the German-equipped division again, I must be scared.

More importantly, there are no merchant ships in Qinzhou Bay.

We can only wait until the shipyard is built and a ship is produced before we can make up for these lies.

Fortunately, Nanning is still in the hands of the Japanese army and cannot be recovered in a short time.

So don't panic, there is still time.

After figuring everything out, Lu Yuhua's face was full of smiles again and he came into Zhao Qidong's tent.

Sure enough, it was exactly as he guessed.

As soon as he entered the tent, Zhao Qidong took his hand and asked him all kinds of questions.

The core issue revolves around the relationship between Lu Yuhua and the Germans.

Fortunately, Lu Yuhua had a draft before coming, so he polished it a little and spoke directly.

"Sir, if I were to tell you how good our relationship is, you would definitely not believe me. But I believe that Mr. William must be very happy to have sold so many arms to him this time. I am still waiting to see if I can get some rewards from him. My garrison regiment is still short of a lot of weapons and equipment."

After these words were spoken, Zhao Qidong believed them completely.

Whenever Lu Yuhua said that he had a very good relationship with the Germans, he would not believe it at all.

Did you get along really well the first time you met?
Is that possible?

That's not how friendships are made.

The so-called friendship is accumulated slowly, bit by bit.

That's why Lu Yuhua said that buying so many arms this time would definitely win points with the Germans.

After finding out the details, Zhao Qidong thought for a moment and spoke directly.

"You are also a member of the Gui army. I believe you also know that although our Gui army is not so short of weapons, its equipment is not very sophisticated." "Commander Bai has always been worried about weapons and equipment. It is difficult to rely on the supply of Shancheng."

"For those people in the mountain city, weapons and equipment supplies, etc., will be given priority to the central army."

"Unless the miscellaneous troops have made great contributions, the people in Shancheng will give them some weapons and equipment for the sake of face, but most of them are light weapons."

"For example, during the Battle of Jiangcheng, a ragtag army made great contributions, but they were only given a thousand Mauser pistols."

“It seems like a lot, but it’s really very little.”

"You and I both know the function of the Mauser pistol. It's good for close combat, but not for field combat."

Zhao Qidong said a lot in a disjointed manner, but the implication of his words was that the Guangxi clique also needed German equipment.

He also hoped that Lu Yuhua could give a larger share to the Guangxi clique.

"We have almost 200,000 troops in the Guangxi clique. As the war continues, the size of the troops is still increasing. The weapons we stockpiled before the war are simply not enough," Zhao Qidong said frankly.

"Don't we have an arsenal?" Lu Yuhua wanted to slap himself in the face as soon as he finished speaking.

Didn’t they say that?
The weapons produced are just better than nothing, and are not enough to satisfy so many troops.

Moreover, the Gui army is constantly expanding its forces.

"The production capacity of the arsenal is too low. The rifles are fine, and the raw materials can still be gathered together, but there is really no way to deal with bullets, otherwise one person wouldn't have three bullets." Zhao Qidong sighed lightly.

"As for the Zhongzheng Rifle Factory in Rong County, the daily output is only 30 rifles, which can only equip a thousand-man regiment in a month. What can it do?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua sighed inwardly. If the Gui army was having such a hard time, then the other miscellaneous armies would probably have it even harder.

"Sir, how much does Commander Bai need? Please tell me the truth so that I can communicate with the Germans." Lu Yuhua stared at the other party and said seriously.

"I can only say that the more the better." Zhao Qidong said with a wry smile.

"Commander, I'm speaking my heart out to you, but you're not telling me the truth? What do you mean by "a lot"? It's not realistic to give it all to the Gui army." Lu Yuhua was speechless.

"I know that the ragtag armies in Guilin have been recruiting soldiers like crazy recently. They are also short of weapons. If you buy all the weapons, won't the ragtag armies that can't buy weapons hate the Gui army?"

"That's really the truth, but what you said makes sense. Let's put it this way. At least ten regiments of weapons. A regiment of two thousand people is not a regiment of one thousand people. At the same time, large-caliber artillery is also needed. In addition to 50mm mortars, we also need 81mm mortars and 120mm mortars."

"In addition, there are 75mm mountain cannons, 105mm howitzers, 150mm howitzers, and 128mm cannons." Zhao Qidong listed several types of artillery in one breath.

Especially the latter ones, all of which involved heavy artillery, which surprised Lu Yuhua.

"Sir, are you thinking too much? These are all heavy artillery, the Germans will not sell them to us." Lu Yuhua said speechlessly.

"I know, but without heavy artillery, it will be very difficult to recapture Nanning. The Japanese firepower is too strong. Our firepower is inferior to that of the enemy. We can only rely on our flesh and blood to fight, but the casualties are too great." Zhao Qidong also knew that there was little hope, but he still wanted to try.

"Well, I know, but I can only convey your request to the Germans. As for whether the other party has it or not, I have no idea." Lu Yuhua spread his hands helplessly and said.

"Okay, just report truthfully. If there really is such a thing, Commander Bai will definitely remember you. If you perform well, there will be no problem in letting you be in charge of the militia groups in several counties." Zhao Qidong patted him on the shoulder and made a big promise.

"Yes, sir." Lu Yuhua showed an excited expression, and then asked in confusion.

"Sir, those ragtag armies are really recruiting soldiers like crazy, nothing will happen, right? Will the mountain city be enraged and really use force to force them?"

"If they had no soldiers and no weapons, they would probably be lambs to be slaughtered. But if they had guns and cannons, Shancheng might have a different attitude." Zhao Qidong said meaningfully.

After hearing this, Lu Yuhua decisively recruited a thousand mobilized soldiers and planned to send all of them to various miscellaneous armies.
