Chen Li's " Battlefield Encyclopedia " had also been completed. He had also added his thoughts from fighting these two battles and some of Zhao Gang's insights. In the end, the original manuscript was sent to the only shop in the county that specialized in printing and posting advertisements. The printing costs in this era were indeed not cheap, but Chen Li did not want to save this money.
A few days later, he received the sample book and had yet to think of how to spread it. Things that were too easy to obtain would definitely not be valued by people. On the contrary, valuable things, even if it was just a piece of wood, would still be studied by many people.
However, if the price of this book was too high, there would definitely be no one. After all, he was not a famous person. Even if he set it at a lower price, there would probably not be many people who would buy it. How could he make this book, which contained the experience accumulated by countless martyrs in his previous life, spread to the Chinese army?
Chen Li thought of the marketing in the later generations. They used high cost-performance ratio, limited time, explosive models, free purchases, bundled sales, and one-yuan exchange. In short, they were selling gimmicks…
Chen Li decided to use a comprehensive method to attract consumers with what they needed most, and then sell what he wanted to sell.
What was the most important thing for the Chinese army now?
Nine out of ten people would definitely say that it was a weapon or equipment.
Not to mention the local troops, even the central army was seriously lacking in all kinds of weapons and equipment.
In that case, he would change his method of selling books. Buying books and giving away cannons was a good method! Ordinary people wouldn't buy these things for no reason. Moreover, this wasn't considered an arms deal. The cannon was just a gift. The goods were books.
But how should he set the price?
Chen Li immediately rejected the idea of making mortars. Now, regardless of whether it was Gongxian, Hanyang, or Taiyuan, all the factories could make mortars. After all, the structure was simple, and the quality of the steel was not high. It could not cause a stir.
The cost of using Lanxi's 75-Cannon was too high. It cost 200 resource points in the system, which was 2,000 dollars. It would be worth at least 4,000 to 5,000 dollars. After all, this business was very dangerous. Whether it was the Japanese or the intelligence personnel of various countries, they would definitely be the first to target it.
Soon, Chen Li took a fancy to a cannon that was also very famous in the future. It was the 92 Infantry Cannon of the Japanese.
This cannon was only about 200 kilograms, which was about 400 catties. It did not need a tractor and could be pulled by a horse on a flat road. It was not a problem for a man to carry it on a horse. The requirements for the road were simply reduced to the lowest point.
70mm caliber, can be aimed directly, can shoot in a curved direction, the accuracy far exceeds that of mortars, the maximum range is close to three kilometers, the use and maintenance are very simple, the failure rate is extremely low, it is currently the most suitable infantry cannon for the Chinese army, there is no one else.
To Chen Li, the most important thing was that it was cheap enough.
Only 50 resource points were needed to exchange for such a cannon, which was only a little more expensive than the M2 heavy machine gun. In other words, the cost of the cannon was only 500 dollars. He wondered how the system set the price.
The ammunition for this cannon was relatively cheap. Whether it was high-explosive ammunition, shrapnel, or smoke grenades, they were all worth one resource point for five rounds, which was equivalent to two oceans for one round.
In other words, the cost of a cannon and a hundred shells was only 700 dollars. Chen Li felt that this cannon should be able to sell for 3,000 dollars.
The plan was then decided. The Battlefield Encyclopedia would be sold for 3,000 dollars, and the buyer would be given a 92-caliber infantry cannon. The first batch of printed books would only have 100 copies, so only 100 infantry cannons would be sold.
Then, Chen Li had a headache again. Who should he send to sell it? Where can I sell it? How to promote it?
Although he was buying books and giving away cannons, these things were still the standard weapons of the Japanese. If he were to sell 100 of them at once, it would definitely cause a big mess. It should be known that the Japanese only produced more than 3,000 92 infantry cannons in the entire World War II.
It was impossible to sell it in Wanping or the capital. Even if Song Zheyuan could afford it, there was no point in fighting against them. Besides Zhang Zizhong's troops, his troops did not perform well in the war.
The most ideal place was Shanghai. If anything went wrong, they could hide in the concession. Moreover, due to the Songhu War (not the Songhu Battle), China and the Japanese did not have many troops stationed here.
It was precisely because of this unique environment that most of the firearms in the black market of Huaxia, or rather, most of the firearms transactions through abnormal channels, were here.
Another problem was that the July 7 Incident would happen in more than a month. If he wasn't around, there would definitely be a big mess. It was impossible for such a large amount of firearms to be transported out of here. Otherwise, if the 29th division didn't detain them, the Japanese would definitely not let them go. After all, at this time, the Japanese intelligence agencies were much more well-informed than China's.
Fortunately, he could exchange for a profession in the system, which was called secretary.
The secretary profession was basically a useless existence in the system. It did not have any combat skills and only knew basic document organization. It could use a simple foreign language. In addition, it cost 500 resource points, so Chen Li had never thought of exchanging for one to see what it looked like.
That's right, no one would want to spend 5,000 yuan on a vase. This kind of simple administrative work could be done by anyone who had studied for a few years. Moreover, the salary was extremely cheap. A few yuan a month was enough. 5,000 yuan could almost last him a hundred years, not to mention how many years a system secretary could live. It was a completely different feeling to buy it in installments and in full.
However, this class had a unique function. After obtaining authorization, it could exchange resources and resource points on behalf of the host. Simply put, it was a mobile weapon exchange station and ocean recycling station.
This time, Chen Li seemed to have discovered a new continent. He felt that he had picked up a treasure.
Five thousand dollars? It was worth 50,000 dollars!
This was simply a bug-like existence. One person was responsible for the supply of an entire army. As long as she was around, as long as there were resource points, there was no need to worry about the problem of supplies.
Unfortunately, unlike the system officer, Chen Li could only exchange for one secretary at this stage, and he did not know what conditions he had to meet to activate the second one.
Chen Li, who was in the room, opened the system panel without hesitation. He looked at the two boxes of money in the corner with a little heartache. These were the remaining money from the last time Song Zheyuan and the others bought the guns and the deposit this time.
Chen Li remembered that he only had 300 resource points in the morning. He had no choice but to use a portion of this money. He had originally planned to use it to pay the army and purchase daily necessities after the war. After all, the prices of many things, especially daily necessities, in the system were a little too high.
However, Chen Li was soon dumbfounded. The original 300-plus resource points had now become nearly 800 points.
As the security captain, he could get 118 resource points every day, and the refresh time was 12 pm. There were only three ways to get resource points: There were those that refreshed at night, those that were exchanged for money, and those that killed the devils.
In other words, Zhao Gang and the soldiers from the eighth squad had killed at least 70 to 80 Japanese soldiers in the morning.
Thinking of this, Chen Li could not help but worry about the casualties. However, there was nothing he could do about it. Those people had not returned, so there was no way to know the situation over there. It was useless to be anxious.
However, he had enough resource points to exchange for a secretary. Without hesitation, he immediately exchanged for it.
Race: Caucasian. Foreign language: English. The reason was simple. In a place like Shanghai, a Caucasian identity could avoid a lot of trouble.
Name: Lucy--
Good!
A 1.7-meter-tall ocean horse appeared. It had a good figure and thick pores.
Chen Li spent another 200 resource points to hire two sergeants as her bodyguards. These people were a little stupid, but fortunately, their combat skills were good and they were 100% loyal.
Of course, this wasn't the final team that would go to Shanghai. Chen Li had also recruited a few people who were still in training.
Chen Liujin weighed six pounds when he was born, so he was called Chen Liujin. The previous incarnation of the body in front of him was mischievous and mischievous. He was very clever and had many tricks up his sleeve. Otherwise, Chen Li alone would not have been able to create such a bad reputation in Wanping City.
It was said that Yong Wang had gone on a escort mission when he was young. Later, the escort agency was disbanded, so he came here and became the head of the guards. He was a very honest person.
There were also a few people who had settled down here. They usually trained very hard and were people who did not talk much but were capable.
The small team was finally organized. Chen Li naturally called Chen Liujin, Wang Yong, and Lucy, the leaders, together and gave them instructions.
To put it simply, Lucy was Chen Li's good friend. She was going to Shanghai to do some business, but she was unfamiliar with the people and the place. In addition, it was currently chaotic, so she asked them to accompany her and protect her. In any case, whether it was money or things that were lost, it was fine. Her safety was the most important. They had to protect Lucy at all times and ensure her safe return.
Wang Yong and Chen Liujin nodded their heads readily. However, Chen Liujin relied on his close relationship with Chen Li. He sized up Lucy and Chen Li from time to time with an understanding smile on his face. In the end, he attracted Chen Li's attention.
After Wang Yong and Chen Liujin left, Chen Li finally taught Lucy the real trick.
If the same mission was given to any normal person, that person would definitely call it ridiculous. The greatest advantage of the characters produced by the system was that they would not question orders.
To Lucy, she was willing to sell a book for 10,000 dollars, let alone 3,000 dollars. The outcome was not something she cared about.
Thus, early the next morning, Ruth, who was dressed in a western dress, left Wanping with her companions and headed for Shanghai.
Buy books and get cannons officially launched

I don't have the authority to reply to reviews. I applied to sign a contract, but no one cares about me until today. I want to ask for some flowers or collectibles. Every chapter of mine has at least 2,000 words, if not 3,000, but it's really lonely to be a single-player without any results!!!
