Equipment Is Here!
Wang Yizhe's equipment from the 3rd Army, as well as the surplus equipment from Fengtian, Ji Province, Hei Province, and other provinces, totaled more than 80,000 rifles, including 50,000 Liao 13-type rifles, 20,000 Sanba rifles, and 10,000 Hanyang rifles!
When all of them were piled up together, the number was also very spectacular!
"Commander-in-chief, you want to sell these rifles to Yan Laoxi and Feng Yuxiang? There were too many of them. It was enough for them to arm three more legions!”Guo Songlin asked in surprise when he heard that Zhang Xuemin wanted to sell firearms!
After all, there had never been such a large-scale arms deal before!
Zhang Xuemin sighed helplessly." If I don't sell more to them, where am I going to earn money from?!"”
“……”
Guo Songlin and Wang Yizhe looked at each other and immediately understood that Zhang Xuemin was preparing to make a fortune from the war. Under unfavorable circumstances, Yan Laoxi and Feng Yuxiang would buy this batch of equipment even if they had to go bankrupt!
"Quick, help me calculate how much these rifles can be sold for!”
"This…"
Guo Songlin's face immediately revealed a troubled expression as he muttered softly,"Commander-in-chief, the brand-new Liao Type 13 and Hanyang rifles are only worth about 100 yuan at most. The 38th cover is slightly more expensive, but these…are all old. Some of the rifling is so old that it doesn't look like it anymore.”
Zhang Xuemin frowned. If it could only be sold for three to four million dollars, it wouldn't be worth his effort." Wang Yizhe, go and find me a batch of newer rifles. They have to look good. Coat them with gun oil and put them all in a box. Also, pick out the light and heavy machine guns from your 3rd Corps that have older rifling lines and make a total of 500 of them. You have to be honest when doing business. We can't just sell rifles to others and keep the light and heavy machine guns for ourselves!”
A series of black lines appeared on Wang Yizhe's forehead!
He muttered in his heart, You're so honest, and you want me to pick the heavy and light machine guns with old rifling!
Of course, he would never dare to say this out loud!
Following Zhang Xuemin's instructions, he quickly smeared all the rifles and light and heavy machine guns with gun oil and placed them into crates. He even lined them with straw, pretending that they were new guns!
Three days later, Wang Yizhe received a telegram from Yan Laoxi, inviting Zhang Xuemin to Yuan City for a meeting!
With 10 boxes of brand new Type 38 and Liao Type 13 rifles, Zhang Xuemin led Guo Songlin and Zhao Xishun to fly to Shanxi in five planes and landed at Yuancheng Airport at noon!
……
Damn it!
This was Yan Laoxi's old nest. Ever since he took charge of Shanxi in 1911, he had been painstakingly managing it for more than ten years. His power was deeply rooted, and he was no different from a local emperor!
Yuan Datou, Duan Zhiquan, Feng Huafu, Wu Peifu…The Beiyang warlords rose and fell, but Shanxi had always been Yan Laoxi's old nest. It had never changed, and it was because Yan Laoxi had always been a fence sitter. He would rely on whoever had power!
After receiving Wang Yizhe's message, Yan Laoxi naturally thought that Zhang Xuemin wanted to join the army to attack the Central Army. He was instantly excited and rushed back to Yuan City from the front line!
At the same time, he sent a telegram inviting Zhang Xuemin to Shanxi for a face-to-face meeting!
When the plane landed, Yan Laoxi had already led the Shanxi government officials to welcome them. Even though Zhang Xuemin was much younger than him, he had a strong army and a strong background!
"Commander-in-chief Zhang, I've heard a lot about you!"
Seeing Zhang Xuemin get off the plane, Yan Laoxi immediately greeted him with a smile and held his hand tightly!
Zhang Xuemin pulled his hand out without leaving a trace. He didn't have the hobby of brokeback with this old man. He laughed dryly." I've heard a lot about Leader Yan!”
Yan Laoxi was the head of Shanxi Province!
When they arrived at the Shanxi Provincial Government office building in Yuan City, Yan Laoxi quickly invited Zhang Xuemin, Guo Songlin, and the others to sit down. He then said impatiently,"It is great that Commander Zhang can send troops to attack Jiang. Ever since the principal became the chairman of the Jin Ling City National Government, he has been implementing a dictatorial rule. There is no such thing as a democratic rule.
General Feng Yuxiang and I really couldn't stand it anymore. On the same day, we issued a denunciation of Jiang, listing the ten crimes that the principal had committed after he took office. We officially decided to send troops to crusade against the central army and break his dictatorship!”
Zhang Xuemin took the initiative to ask Wang Yizhe to send him a telegram and even said that he had something good to take care of. Yan Laoxi naturally thought that the northeast Feng army was going to lead their troops into the pass and jointly attack the principal. They even thought of the name of the army and the important positions of the generals!
" Cough cough…" Zhang Xuemin coughed awkwardly." That…Leader Yan, during the battle at Shanhaiguan, the Northeast Army suffered heavy losses. Even though they wanted to go after Jiang, they were too weak to fight!”
Depleted?
Heavy losses?
Yan Laoxi was stunned. The information he received was that the Northeast Army had defeated the three divisions led by Jiang Dingwen in half an hour. They had even sent out a new type of tank with extremely powerful firepower. How did it turn out to be a huge blow to Zhang Xuemin?
" So, Commander Zhang is here to…" Yan Laoxi asked tentatively.
"I'm here to give you some equipment!" Xuemin said with a smile.”
