Just as Shouichi Terauchi was at his wit's end, the advancing army continued to expand their strength. At the same time, a rather important "big shot" was welcomed into the Laiyang City's advancing army.
"Mr. Lenzo, on behalf of the commander of the advance army, Mr. Qin Yuxuan, I welcome you to Laiyang County.”As a car slowly stopped in front of the military headquarters, Zhou Weiguo greeted them with a smile.
"Haha! Weiguo, we haven't seen each other for so long, and you're actually speaking to me in an official tone? Ha…To be honest, how have you been these past few years?”When he saw Zhou Weiguo, the foreigner who got out of the car said excitedly in broken Mandarin.
"Of course it's good. Oh right, there are too many people outside. Let's not reminisce here. Let's go to the military headquarters.”Zhou Weiguo patted Renzo's shoulder and said…
"Oh my god, I didn't expect that the local armed forces of your advanced army would have such elite equipment like submachine guns! Weiguo, this must be your credit, right?”As he was about to enter the reception room, Renzo glanced at the submachine gun hanging on the guard's chest and asked in amazement.
"I want to get two to play with, but I don't have any channels, right? Although the Japanese infantry was well-equipped, that was only in Asia, where the countries were poor. They could not be compared to Germany and North Korea. Therefore, it was impossible to rely on the loot. This gun was actually purchased by our commander from a foreign country. There are thousands of soldiers in the entire advance army, and only the guards in the guard platoon have equipment. He had no choice. He had to protect his boss, right?”Zhou Weiguo shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"You bought it from overseas? God, your commander is really capable. As far as I know, the current submachine gun technology is still at the level of a few military powers and small-scale equipment. Your commander, on the other hand, equipped an entire platoon. It seems that you've really helped me a lot by asking me to talk to him about the machinery factory.”Renzo sighed.
"That's true. Renzo, you also know that our country's industrial strength is weak, not to mention that our advance army is the newest rising force in Qilu. Now, no matter what, it's in a state of chaos, so don't take the opportunity to argue with me!”Zhou Weiguo said seriously.
"Don't worry. As long as your needs are sufficient, I believe that the headquarters will agree to the method of small profits but high turnover. Besides, this is your business, Zhou Weiguo.”Renzo patted Zhou Weiguo's shoulder confidently.
"I heard that Mr. Renzo is here to visit. I, Qin Yuxuan, apologize for not welcoming you!”Suddenly, the door of the reception room was pushed open from the outside, and Qin Yuxuan came to Renzo's side with a smile.
"Come, Renzo, let me introduce you! This is the commander of our advance army, Qin Yuxuan, Commander Qin! Commander, this is Mencino Renzo, the sales manager of the Krupp Arms Company in Peiping, whom I have often mentioned to you. He was also my classmate at the Berlin Military Academy.”Seeing Qin Yuxuan come to Renzo's side, Zhou Weiguo quickly stood up and introduced the two of them.
"Although Wei Guo mentioned your age in the letter, I really didn't expect the famous commander of the advanced army to be so young.”Renzo, who had always regarded absolute facts as his standard, could not help but sigh after seeing Qin Yuxuan's mature face for the first time.
"Haha, Mr. Renzo, you flatter me. To be able to become the head of a branch of the Krupp Military Company at the age of less than thirty, Mr. Renzo's experience is truly worthy of my admiration.”Qin Yuxuan smiled and replied.
"Mr. Renzo, although I haven't been to your country, your country has always been known for being rigorous and pragmatic. So, let's skip the unnecessary pleasantries and get straight to the point.”Qin Yuxuan pulled out a chair and gestured for Renzo and Zhou Weiguo to sit down.
"Mr. Qin is indeed straightforward. Good! To tell you the truth, I only contacted Weiguo a few days ago. At that time, he sent me an invitation, saying that the famous commander of the advanced army in North China wanted to do business with our company. Originally, due to the current relationship between Japan and China, I didn't want to take the risk. However, this is the first time that the State of Wei has asked for my help. Also, on the same day, an overseas Chinese friend of mine who was far away in the United States and North Korea also sent me an invitation. He said that there was a need to set up a factory here and asked me to come and take a look no matter what. Just like that, I hurriedly set foot on the road to the south.
I wonder what kind of list Commander Qin will give me?”After Renzo told the whole story, he stared at Qin Yuxuan with a deep gaze and asked.
"The list of requirements is very simple. I need equipment, a large number of heavy industrial equipment. In addition, the 81mm mortars, 75mm and 150mm infantry cannons, coastal artillery, anti-aircraft artillery, etc. that your country's national defense forces are equipped with, our army is also very interested.”Qin Yuxuan said with a smile.
"Hiss…Although Krupp belongs to the firearms company, we're still a military company. However, other than mortars and infantry cannons, without a letter of authorization signed by the Prime Minister, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to supply your army. As for industrial equipment, it will depend on your army's funds to meet the risk of our company crossing the Japanese blockade.”Upon hearing Qin Yuxuan's huge appetite, Renzo couldn't help but gasp.
"For the first cooperation, our army prepared 500,000 silver dollars, of which 20% was paid in advance as a credit guarantee for our army. What do you think, Mr. Renzo?" Qin Yuxuan said with a sly smile.
"50,000…500,000?" Renzo licked his slightly dry lips. Obviously, he was tempted!
Ever since the damned Wei Nation surrounded Beiping two years ago, in two years, the Beiping branch that Lenzo was in had only received a total of 900,000 yuan worth of arms and equipment orders. This time, Qin Yuxuan had opened his mouth and ordered 500,000 yuan. It was no wonder that Lenzo was tempted.
"Mr. Qin, your price is indeed very attractive to me, but for personal reasons, I'm very curious. Why did you buy so much industrial equipment? As the leader of an army, aren't brand new guns and sufficient bullets what you want?”asked Renzo.
" Haha, Mr. Renzo, you're right. As the highest leader of an army, weapons and equipment are indeed things that I'm particularly interested in. But I also know that if I can't let the people under my jurisdiction live a stable, stable, and prosperous life, even if I have powerful weapons, they will only be a pile of old iron…" Qin Yuxuan smiled and replied with a meaningful tone.
