All of this was still hidden from Zhao Gang. After all, Zhao Gang had just joined the independent regiment and was not familiar with the current situation. He could not be on the same side as the independent regiment. If he knew that the Independent Regiment had a small firearms production line, he would probably report it to his superiors.
The entire 8th Route Army was in urgent need of military equipment, weapons, and ammunition. It was impossible for Zhao Gang to not report this.
He would only tell him when Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong peed in the same pants. Tang Wan Yue's estimate of this time should be after defeating the Yamazaki Brigade. He still needed to hide the military factory from Zhao Gang.
The next day, the brigade commander called Li Yunlong.""Li Yunlong, congratulations on making a fortune!”
Li Yunlong quickly said,"What wealth? I'm so poor that I almost have to eat."”
"How can you hide this from my eyes? Let me tell you, I'll know the next day. Tell me honestly, how much did you get this time?”
" Ah, not much," Li Yunlong said." Just enough for a cavalry battalion. I'm going to build a cavalry battalion."”
The brigade commander said," Let's see what you can do. If you want to mess with a cavalry battalion with just one regiment, then shouldn't my brigade have a cavalry regiment?"”
"Sigh, that should be the case. With your reputation as a brigade commander, it wouldn't be much to get a cavalry division.”
The brigade commander smiled." Alright then. Leave behind a company's worth of bootlicking equipment and send the rest to the brigade headquarters."”
Li Yunlong shook his head and said,""What are you doing? Robbery, why don't you just shoot me to death? No, no, no!”
The brigade commander heard this and said," Alright, then we have to talk about it. You mobilized the troops without asking for permission. This is not a small crime!"”
When Li Yunlong heard this, his expression changed and he quickly said,"" I used to be... Sigh, Brigadier General, you've agreed..."
"I agreed," the brigade commander laughed."Who can prove it to you?"”
"Brigadier, you have to admit it!" Li Yunlong said with grievance.”
The brigade commander said directly," Cut the crap. You have two choices now. Either you send me the horses and equipment, or I'll report it to the headquarters and investigate the matter of you mobilizing the troops without authorization." What do you think we should do? What's the matter? Why do you want me to go to your place to get it personally?”
Li Yunlong quickly said,""Don't, don't, don't. A higher rank is too much. Fine, fine, fine. I'll admit to being the brigade commander. If you want to rob me, just say it.”
"Hahaha, if I don't find an excuse, will you give it to me? Ah, I say, why did you learn to be like a rich man from Shanxi? You only have three walnuts and two dates, but you still have to dig and search for me. Do you look like a man?”
"Aren't you afraid of being poor?"
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. When will the equipment be delivered to me? I'll go and get it myself.”
"Ah, no, no, there's no need." "It's just a small matter," Li Yunlong quickly said,"How can I trouble your brigade commander with such a small matter?" Tomorrow, no, this afternoon. I'll get someone to send the equipment to you. Is that okay, brigade commander?”
"Hahaha, you're quite generous this time. It's not like you.”
Li Yunlong laughed and said,"You've already robbed me anyway." Why do you have to be so stingy to let you say it? He might as well deliver it directly to his door. In case your brigade commander finds trouble."
After the brigade commander heard it, he was shocked. "You should have done this earlier."”
After hanging up, the brigade commander was still puzzled."This time, why has this old fellow become so easy to talk to? It was not his style to give away the equipment of a cavalry battalion just like that. If it was in the past, wouldn't he have stirred up trouble for me for a long time and haggled?”
The brigade commander could not understand why Li Yunlong was so easy to rob this time. However, it cost almost an entire cavalry battalion's worth of equipment. He was in a good mood, so he ignored this problem.
The cavalry unit that Li Yun Long had obtained this time was a reinforced unit. There were over four hundred warhorses. If he took away the remaining three hundred warhorses of a company, he could still form a cavalry unit. No wonder the brigade commander was so happy. However, he would definitely regret his decision in the future. He would regret not visiting Li Yun Long personally.
The reason why Li Yun Long agreed so readily was because he heard that the brigade commander was going to come personally to collect the equipment, so he quickly agreed.
Anyway, the brigade commander was going to rob them. Even if they haggled for a long time, they would definitely be robbed of a lot of equipment in the end. Instead of doing this, it was better to be more straightforward. This was one of the reasons.
Secondly, Li Yunlong did not want the brigade commander to join his regiment. If the brigade commander came to their regiment and found Tang Wan Yue's small military factory, then he would be finished.
From Tang Wan Yue, he got more than a hundred 38 big covers. In addition, he had robbed a reinforced cavalry battalion of equipment this time, even though he could only keep one company. In addition, Tang Wan Yue repaired some broken guns. It was barely enough for all the warriors in the team to use guns.
Therefore, Li Yunlong's demand for guns was not very strong now. It was fine as long as there were enough guns. Any more would just be an additional fire stick. Moreover, they could be seized from the battlefield in the future.
However, ammunition was a completely different story. That was a consumable that was needed at all times. Every battle required a large amount of ammunition.
However, the Eighth Route Army lacked ammunition the most. A main force like the Independent Regiment could only receive 20,000 bullets per month. There was not much left in the team after the training. And of these 20,000 bullets, 10,000 were manufactured in the border region.
One had to know that Tang Wan Yue could produce 10,000 bullets for him a day. They could produce 300,000 bullets for him in a month, and they were all of the same quality as the Japanese bullets. If the brigade commander found out, he would definitely kidnap Tang Wan Yue to the brigade headquarters.
Therefore, Li Yunlong knew very well which side of the deal was the one who made the profit and which side was the one who made the loss. Now, let alone leaving behind a cavalry company's horses and equipment, even if he had to send the entire cavalry battalion to the Ministry of Travel. As long as the brigade commander didn't come, their regiment would be fine.
