Once again, the sky turned dark. Chen Li once again brought the group of guards who had been exhausted by his training...
Uh, no, now they could officially be called members of the Wanping Security Corps.
After all, Chen Li had the appointment letter signed by the commander of the 29th division.
Although the value of this appointment letter was definitely not comparable to the appointment letter issued by Old Jiang, it was still a public security organization that could legally carry guns. At least it would not be treated as a bandit.
Early in the morning, he brought the two staff officers of the 29th division to test their guns. Although it wasn't the wasteland that he had designated as his training base, he found a random place by the roadside and it was still a feast for their eyes.
To be able to become an advisor in the 29th division, which was considered a regular army, he was naturally not a simple person. At the very least, he knew what was good for him.
Chen Li was completely confident that the other party would be moved by the performance of the weapon he provided. The performance of the system's products had already been verified in the past few days of training.
Even if Qian Duoduo, the system officer who was so bored that he didn't even want to say a word, taught these illiterate soldiers about the maintenance of guns every day, these guns never had any " small faults " that were common in products of this era, such as duds, jammed shells, parts falling off, or exploding barrels.
Chen Li, who had the confidence of the system, was even more convinced that even if they did not like it this time, they would definitely be envious of it the next time they got a cannon or something!
Sure enough, Chen Li, who had just returned home with his troops, received his first firearms order: Five M2 heavy machine guns.
Chen Li was curious why the other party did not buy more bullets. After all, although the firing rate of the M2 was not fast, it could still consume 100 to 200 bullets per minute in battle.
Although 5,000 rounds of ammunition seemed like a lot, they could not withstand a few battles. A heavy machine gun without bullets was not even as good as a fire stick. A rifle could at least be equipped with a bayonet to fight. A heavy machine gun that weighed dozens of kilograms would not be used in a fight if there was nothing wrong with its brain.
After all, this kind of 12.7 caliber bullet could be said to be the first in China. Before the introduction of the Lend-lease Act in the United States, China had no other way to obtain this kind of bullet.
However, when he saw the deposit of 40 yuan (50 yuan per letter), Chen Li waved his hand. The goods would arrive in two days.
The reception was naturally handed over to Butler Huang again. Chen Li did not feel any pressure from this method of throwing pots. Anyway, he was familiar with it.
The reason why he had dragged it out for two days was because he didn't want others to think that it was too easy for him to get this item, or that he had some stock. Although the 29th division wouldn't do anything like this, if they lowered the price, the game wouldn't be fun anymore.
Originally, the effect would have been better if it had been delayed a little longer. However, in more than a month, the July 7 Incident would have happened. After that, the 29th division would have to take the brunt of it and withdraw.
After all, in the entire capital, the only bridge that could be connected to the outside world was the bridge outside Wanping County. Since ancient times, it had been called Lugou Bridge.
This matter was akin to giving up on the three eastern provinces and still fighting the Great Wall. Until Old Jiang sent him to Shanghai to force him to quit. It didn't matter much if he poisoned Little Six Zhang. This was a problem left behind by history.
Back then, the result of Cixi's courage to declare war on the world's eight powers was: China's largest garden was burned down. According to the Xin Chou treaty, foreigners were allowed to station troops in Beijing's Dongjiao Min Lane and two kilometers along the railway.
As time passed, the Will Nation was defeated in World War I, so they lost the right to station troops. He Lan had never been here, and the Russians were defeated because of a revolution. Their lives turned red and they retreated. Thus, the garrison became five countries: Japan, Mi, Sun Never Sets, Lanxi, and Noodle Country...
There were still many things that happened after that, the Wei Nation kept pushing, and the Chinese army kept retreating.
In short, by this time, the Fengtai Military Camp had been lost, and the capital had been surrounded.
In fact, the so-called traitor Li Hongzhang, who was scolded by later generations, also left some foundation for his descendants.
In his hands, there was basically no decision to cede territory. It was nothing more than allowing troops to be stationed, opening up trade, allowing preaching, and the worst was renting land.
After all, this was a problem that could not be solved in this era. Under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, China had already fallen behind. However, he at least left some things for his descendants to operate, but most of them were still corrupted later on.
During the Republic of China period, there were many people like Song Zheyuan in the Chinese army, but they were in high positions. Although they had indeed experienced the baptism of some eras, some of their views were still worth investigating.
For example, after the Northwest Army lost the war in the Central Plains, he occupied Beijing and Tianjin. He said that he was under the central government and listened to Old Jiang's orders. In fact, he was a local emperor there. During the early days of the July 7 Incident, Old Jiang wanted to send the Central Army to strengthen the defense, but he directly refused. Then, he was allocated money to build fortifications, and he was directly greedy.
In the eyes of people like him, territory was of course very important. However, even if he lost his territory, as long as he had the troops in his hands, he would have the capital to survive. The central government could not do anything to him. This was where his confidence lay.
After all, the law did not punish the masses. There were many people like him in China. In the south, there were people from the Li clan, Long Fei, Liu Xiang in Sichuan Province, Yan Laosan in the West Mountain, Han Fuqu in Lu Province, and Zhang Xiaoliu, who had lost his place in the three eastern provinces and was wandering everywhere.
All in all, what Chen Li felt at this moment was: Old Jiang was so pitiful. He had a feeling that he had no place to use his strength.
However, when he found out that the officer Qian Duoduo that he had spent 1,000 yuan to exchange in the system did not know how to fire, he felt powerless again. He was even more pitiful.
The French-style Type 75 Cannon was actually not too difficult to operate. Anyway, it was a direct-fire cannon. On the battlefield, push it up, aim, and fire. After a few more rounds, the feeling would naturally come up, and the accuracy would also be there.
That was how Chen Li had figured out the cannon. However, if a direct-fire cannon could be played like this, what would these illiterate people do if they used a curved cannon? (Howitzers, mortars, etc. are all curved cannons.) How do you calculate the parabola? How to set the angle?
These were all problems.
They lacked talent! A trained artillery talent!
Chen Li thought of Uncle Li's words and felt that he needed to correct them. Not only was talent the most important in the 21st century, but it was also the same in the 20th century.
More importantly, the order from the 29th division was only for five heavy machine guns. This made him feel the difficulty of making money.
In this godforsaken place, the only buyer was the 29th division. Although 10,000 yuan was nothing to Song Zheyuan, it depended on whether he was willing to give it to him.
Chen Li had seen things like bullying customers in the future, but bullying customers in the future was also a common occurrence.
Even if there were good things, they had to be sold before they could be turned into money. Without money, how could they make more good things?
With Song Zheyuan's purchasing power, it didn't seem possible at the moment. Chen Li recalled the process of the July 7 Incident in his previous life and knew that Song had wanted to negotiate from the beginning to the end. Of course, his slogan was not bad. He was a patriotic general after all.
One had to know that he was also in his hometown on the day of the incident. It was Old Jiang who sent a message to his subordinates. Anyway, he did not remember who pulled him out of his hometown. After he was pulled out, there were peace talks, peace talks, and repeated concessions. In the end, when he signed the contract, he pulled Zhang Zizhong into the water and tens of thousands of troops withdrew from the capital.
When he quit, he didn't want to run to the state-controlled area. Instead, he wanted to run directly to Tianjin City. He still wanted to continue his life as a local tyrant…
If it wasn't for the fact that the Japanese had gotten what they wanted and wanted to keep him to give Old Jiang a taste of his own medicine, his tens of thousands of men would have been wiped out near Jincheng.
It was hard for a modern person to make an evaluation of a person in this turbulent era, such as Chen Li.
What should he do next?
Even with the income of more than 100 resource points per day, how long could they last after the 29th division retreated? Chen Li was doubtful.
How many of these soldiers didn't want to run away when they started fighting? He wasn't sure either.
Based on the current development of the situation, when it came to a real fight, what could these hundred people do? After all, the 29th division was only fierce for a moment and then ran away.
How many weapons could they sell to the 29th division in a month or two? Regarding this, Chen Li did not hold much hope either.
The money earned from selling a machine gun was not enough to exchange for a sergeant like Qian Duoduo. There was no way to recruit soldiers. After all, the security corps was not like the regular army, where they could openly recruit soldiers or even recruit strong men.
This meant that if the 29th division retreated, it would be impossible for the 100-strong security team to protect Wanping County.
If there was no base at that time, it would be a big problem. Without a source of resource points, it would not be enough to consume just money. If a small wealthy person wanted to compete with a country in terms of consumption, he would die no matter what.
Therefore, Chen Li's first step to survival was to protect the encampment. This was a place to farm resource points.
They definitely had to fight the Japanese. Then, Chen Li, who had just received 2,000 yuan, set an example.
It was time to do something!
A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its nest!
Therefore, we can't fight the Japanese in front of us first. Let's go to Chahar to kill the Japanese!
The officer exchanged by the system cost 100 resource points, which was equivalent to 1,000 dollars.
After receiving the two thousand yuan from his father and the two thousand yuan deposit from Song Zheyuan, he could do whatever he wanted.
The three sergeants were exchanged.
Each of these three people was worth more than 100 resource points. Killing an ordinary Japanese only cost five resource points.
In other words, if one person did not kill 20 Japanese, they would lose money.
Could this deal be even? In fact, Chen Li also had a lot of doubts in his heart.
This was a gamble for Chen Li.
