" Oh, no problem, no problem," Advisor Li immediately said. At this time, the person who would talk back to him was definitely MelonRind."I wonder if Commander Chen can purchase these weapons on behalf of others or if there is any channel? Our division is facing great pressure and needs some weapons. If Regiment Commander Chen can give us some convenience, I believe the commander will not treat Regiment Commander Chen unfairly.”
'What? Want to buy weapons? Why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you act so pretentious just now? Now he was writing a blank check? Am I, Chen Li, that easy to fool? Moreover, Maxim was extremely expensive. Even without the shield and wheels, it would cost 20 resource points, which was 200 dollars. Who could afford it? I still have to earn some money. Song Zheyuan embezzled the 500,000 yuan for the construction of the fortifications and deducted the taxes in the capital. If I want to be more ruthless, then with the shield and the wheel, 800 yuan for 10,000 bullets doesn't seem too much.
Once Chen Li's thoughts were clear, he said proudly,"These things are nothing. As long as the conditions are right, even if you want cannons, I can get them. Just tell me what you want to buy. However, let's be frank. Although I like you, we have to be clear about the accounts. This business requires a deposit.”
" I don't know how powerful these weapons are. I want to see how powerful they are first," Advisor Li said.
In fact, he also knew that he did not have the ability to make decisions on such military purchases. However, the people who helped China from Yizhi had all left. In addition, the Japanese had used their international influence to restrict the purchase of weapons from China. It was already very difficult for the Chinese army to obtain weapons from overseas.
Not to mention the local warlords like the 29th Division, even the Central Army under Old Jiang did not have a fair way of purchasing. The products produced by the domestic factories were not only of good quality, but also of inferior quality. It was impossible to buy them even if one wanted to.
If it was any other time, Advisor Li would have ignored the new head of security when he said that he could even get a cannon. Anyone could brag, and there were many people in the capital who relied on deception to survive. If he believed them, he would not be able to survive.
However, when he saw the machine guns that were obviously different from the standard equipment in the country, Staff Officer Li still had some hope.
After all, a machine gun like Maxim's was common in the Chinese army. Although he had never seen any army add shields or wheels to it, the basic appearance was easy to recognize.
As for the M2, Staff Officer Li felt that it was a little exaggerated. Although the barrel was a little big and he did not see the bullets, he did not know what they looked like. However, there were some things that could not be said with certainty. What if they could really do it?
As for the cannons, that was nonsense. The most powerful force in China was Old Jiang's army, and how many cannons did they have? Every warlord had a clear idea in their hearts, because aside from the righteousness of protecting the country, they were likely to be the victims of these weapons sooner or later.
"Let's go to my training ground and take a look!" Chen Li said indifferently, then quickly followed his team without looking back.
There was no need to say too much about many things. It was good to just do it.
As long as the facts were right in front of them, they would be much more convincing than words.
————————，
Beijing, 29th Division.
"What did you say? How could the son of that rich man Chen get a machine gun? And it's a Maxim heavy machine gun?" Although Song Zheyuan's expression was calm, his tone was a little hurried.
He had expanded his army from 60,000 to 100,000. Other than the equipment that Old Jiang had approved, he had also purchased more than 100 shell guns and 10,000 rifles from various sources. However, he could not get machine guns.
Now, his adjutant and an adviser were saying that the son of a rich man who had just spent thousands of dollars to buy the title of a security regiment in his place and had a family with a mine could get a heavy machine gun. How could he not be surprised?
At this time, countries around the world were restricted from selling heavy weapons to China due to the restrictions of Japan. Yan Laosan's arsenal could only imitate the light machine gun of the Soviet Republic, while Old Jiang's arsenal could imitate Maxim (the imitation was called the Min-24 heavy machine gun), but the production was not high.
" General, I've seen it with my own eyes, but the Maxim is different from what we usually see. The body of the gun is only about 30 pounds, but the frame is about 60 to 70 pounds," the adjutant said.
" Yes, the gun rack is equipped with a towing iron wheel and a shield to protect the machine gunner. It's so thick that ordinary rifles can't penetrate it." Advisor Li imitated Chen Li and used two fingers to measure the thickness of the shield."This kind of gun is extremely well-made and its shooting is very stable. It's much better than the Min-24 we're using now!”
"Oh!" Song Zheyuan muttered, as if he was thinking about something.
"He also has a machine gun with a large caliber of 12.7mm. The bullets are specially made and are very powerful. A tree with a diameter of more than 20cm will be broken into two with one shot. According to him, this kind of gun is specially used to shoot tanks and planes.”Staff Officer Li said vividly.
Upon hearing this, Song Zheyuan immediately asked with great interest,""Is it an anti-aircraft machine gun?"
It was no wonder that Song Zheyuan was tempted. If it was light and heavy machine guns, there were at least replicas in the country. They could get their hands on them with some effort. However, anti-aircraft machine guns and artillery were things that the country could not make themselves. They could not even make bullets.
Now, the domestic fighter planes could not be compared to the Japanese. The air defense force could only rely on the pitiful number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns on the ground.
Staff Officer Li rubbed his head and said slowly,""The barrel of that machine gun isn't too long, and the rate of fire isn't too high, but it's powerful and has a long range.”
"How's the price?"
"Maxim, 1,000 dollars, 10,000 bullets for free. Browning, 2,000 dollars, 5,000 bullets for free.”
"Yes, contact him as soon as possible and buy five of those Browning heavy machine guns. See how they work!”Song Zheyuan slapped the board on the spot. The war hadn't started yet, so he still had some money on hand.
"Oh right, the leader of the security team also said that if there are suitable conditions, he can even get a cannon.”the adjutant suddenly added.
