Yan Laoxi rubbed his chin and thought for a long time, but he could not think of who Xia Tian was.
He smiled at Natasha." I'm sorry. I've never heard of your chief's name."”
" It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it now," Natasha said expressionlessly." You'll hear about it in the future."”
Yan Laoxi wanted to laugh. There weren't many people in China who could make his name resound like thunder.
Who knew where he came from this summer? Yan Laoxi might never remember him in this lifetime.
Yan Laoxi coughed. Although he did not care about Natasha's words, he was not only a soldier but also a businessman.
He was fighting against the Japanese and lacked everything. If there was business, he naturally had to do it.
"Then how much territory does your superior want?”
Natasha said," The chief said that it would be best if it was a big city, like Taiyuan.”
Yan Laoxi almost choked on his own saliva. Taiyuan had been occupied by the Japanese, and he himself was hiding in Luliang.
Would he not want a big city like Taiyuan?
"Your commanding officer's appetite is too big. Change to another one."”
Natasha said," Then let's go to a city like Luliang.”
This time, Yan Laoxi choked on his own saliva and coughed for a long time.
" Are you sick?" Natasha tilted her head.”
Yan Laoxi waved his hand and glared at him."If your commander wants territory, I'll give him a small county at most. Do you really think you can buy whatever you want? Do you want me to sell the position of commander to him?”
"If it weren't for the fact that my military budget is tight now, I wouldn't have given you any land at all, so don't push your luck.”
Natasha nodded. Actually, Xia Tian had already instructed her before they came. They were to tell the big deal first and wait for the other party to come and bargain. It would be fine as long as there was a county in the end.
Now that Yan Laoxi had agreed to give the county to her, Natasha had nothing to say.
"Then it's a deal. Which county town will you give us?”Natasha asked.
Yan Laoxi's eyes widened."How is this a deal? I only said that I can sell it to you, but you haven't said the price yet?”
" We don't have money," Natasha said calmly.”
Yan Laoxi stood up immediately."Are you kidding me?"
The nearby guards heard the noise and immediately rushed out, aiming their guns at Natasha.
Natasha didn't mind. She looked at Yan Laoxi expressionlessly and said,""But we have weapons. We can use weapons to exchange for territory with you.”
Yan Laoxi smiled brightly when he heard the word 'weapon'.
In this era, the Chinese army lacked weapons the most. Other than the German-style equipment used by Old Jiang's Central Army, the rest of the warlords mostly used old-fashioned weapons from the 20s and 30s.
Some of the soldiers even used spears and sabers.
Although Yan Laoxi was rich, only a portion of his elite troops were equipped with relatively advanced weapons.
On the whole, his troops were still very weak. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been defeated by the Japanese.
Therefore, to Yan Laoxi, exchanging weapons was much better than exchanging money.
"What weapons do you have?" Yan Laoxi asked.
"Mauser 98K rifle, MG42 general machine gun.”Natasha said.
Yan Laoxi was so shocked that his eyes turned red. Although the Mauser rifle was a single-shot automatic rifle, it had high accuracy and reliability. It could be said to be the pinnacle of rifles in this era.
Even if the M Nation's M1 was faster than him, its accuracy was not high and its range was not far. It was still inferior to the Mauser 98K.
As for the MG42, Yan Laoxi had only heard of it. It was said that it had just been produced in Germany and had not been equipped with troops yet.
However, the predecessor of this gun, the MG34, was known as a human flesh tearing machine that could make the entire Europe tremble under the machine gun.
Compared to the Maxim machine gun that the warlords of China liked to use, it was much more useful. Not only was it more powerful, but it was also more convenient to carry.
Usually, two soldiers could operate it. It was not restricted by the terrain and had high accuracy. It was a machine gun that warlords dreamed of.
Yan Laoxi almost drooled as he asked,"How many do you have?"
Natasha looked at him coldly." How many guns do you want for a county?"”
Yan Laoxi thought about it nervously for a long time. In the end, he said anxiously,""10 MG42s and 500 Mauser rifles. Can bullets be matched with two bases?”
"Deal!" Natasha said straightforwardly.
Yan Laoxi was stunned. He was still waiting for the other party to bargain, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly.
This could only mean one thing. This number was nothing to them.
Yan Laoxi was filled with regret. If he had known earlier, he would have asked for more.
Natasha stood up." Which county do you want to give us?" she asked." We can trade now."”
Yan Laoxi thought for a moment. Since the enemy had so many weapons, he would let them go to the place closest to the Japanese.
It could help him block the Japanese. If he died, it would be their people.
He chuckled." You guys can go to Wenshui County. It's not a small place. Your commander should like it."”
Natasha nodded and asked Yan Laoxi to wait outside Wenshui County. When the weapons were handed over, Yan Laoxi would announce to the county that Xia Tian was the new county head.
They had agreed to meet at Wenshui County one day later.
Natasha reported everything to Xia Tian. Xia Tian did not care about the amount Yan Laoxi wanted.
He had unlimited points anyway, so he could exchange them for as many guns as he wanted. What he needed the most now was territory.
That night, he had the system conjure 500 Mauser 98K rifles and 10 MG42 general purpose machine guns.
Early the next morning, Xia Tian hired some vehicles and loaded all the weapons in them. He then led a hundred men towards Wenshui County.
When it was almost evening, they finally arrived outside Wenshui County.
Yan Laoxi was already waiting there with his men.
The reason why he came personally was firstly because the weapons that were handed over this time were all good weapons. He had to see it personally to prevent himself from being fooled.
Secondly, he also wanted to see what kind of person would exchange so many good weapons for a broken county.
If it was valuable, he was willing to befriend him.
Xia Tian led his team to the outskirts of the county town. Yan Laoxi welcomed them with a smile and said to Natasha,""Where's your commanding officer? Quickly introduce him to me.”
Natasha pointed at Xia Tian respectfully.”
Yan Laoxi and his subordinates stared at Xia Tian blankly. They sized him up from head to toe and were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.
"H-he's Xia Tian?" Yan Laoxi asked in disbelief.
"It's the real deal." Xia Tian nodded.
"How old are you?" Yan Laoxi asked foolishly.”
"Ten years old!"
Yan Laoxi almost knelt down. He became a county magistrate at the age of ten?
