"No! Didn't you say that the enemy has two or three tank divisions in the direction of Zhang Jiakou? Why are there more here in Suiyuan? Just how strong are they?"
" This…" Boss Dai was also at a loss. He really didn't know about this.
"Principal, we don't know how strong they are exactly. Every time we receive information, it shows that their strength is getting stronger and stronger.”
The bald man said angrily," F * ck! It looks like there must be someone behind them. Otherwise, how could they expand so quickly?"”
"According to their situation, the only ones who support them are probably the Russians!" Chen Bulei said.”
"It's hard to be sure," said Boss Dai. The tanks used by the enemy did not look like those of the Russians, but the enemy's planes looked like those of the Russians.”
"This is not impossible. The Russians must have designed a new tank for them to cover up their actions. The plane was even easier to explain. It was possible that they had bought it from Germany and transported it over through the Russians.”
The bald man agreed with this statement, but she could not understand why the Russians would choose to cultivate another force.
Although they had all sorts of questions, they still sent someone to discuss the purchase of military supplies with Xia Zilong.
This time, it was much more convenient. After Xia Zilong recovered Suiyuan, they could go north from Shaanxi to Suiyuan and then enter Chahar.
With such a safe supply channel, as long as they could get sufficient weapons, equipment, and ammunition, Baldy's confidence in the war would be even greater.
This time, in order to appear solemn, he sent his trusted aide, Zheng Jiemin, over.
When Xia Zilong saw him for the first time, he felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
It was only after he introduced himself that he remembered.
He had indeed seen this person's information and photos before, but it was too late for him to remember them all.
"Director Zheng, welcome!”
"Marshal is too polite! I'm just a division chief of the General Staff Department, an insignificant person. I'm not worthy of the marshal's kindness.”
" Hehe," Xia Zilong laughed." If the trusted general of the commission is just a nobody, then what are we?"”
"Aha, Marshal must be joking!"
"Let's not talk about these empty words anymore. Chief Zheng, please get straight to the point!" Xia Zilong said.”
Zheng Jiemin said,"Good, the marshal is indeed as straightforward as the legends say." In that case, let me tell you…"
This time, he didn't carry a recruitment quest. He only wanted to purchase weapons and equipment and investigate the situation here.
In terms of weapons and equipment, the demand for baldies was still very high. Whether it was machine guns, cannons, aircraft, tanks, or even ordinary bullets, there was a huge demand.
Xia Zilong nodded and said,""Sure, I can sell these things to you, and the price is much lower than the ones outside.”
"Oh? Marshal's bid is…"
"How about this, a machine gun costs 500 dollars, a submachine gun costs 200 dollars, and each gun has 1,000 rounds of bullets. If he still needed to buy it, he would sell it for 10 yuan and 5000 yuan.
The 75mm cannon was 30,000 yuan each, and the 105mm cannon was 50,000 yuan each. Each cannon was equipped with 20 shells, and the shells were 10 yuan each. There was no limit!
The Russians 'MT26 tanks cost 150,000 yuan each, equipped with artillery shells, machine guns, and bullets.
There were American P36 fighter jets, Japanese Type 95 fighter jets, Russian I-16 fighter jets, and so on. Each plane was worth 200,000 yuan, so they could choose any plane they wanted!”
Xia Zilong listed the conditions calmly as if he was drinking water.
Zheng Jiemin was very excited. Even though he was an experienced person, he could not help but feel emotional when faced with such a situation.
Unfortunately, these things were relatively outdated to Xia Zilong. He did not care about them at all.
The prices he listed were not very high. Many things were cheaper than those sold overseas.
What he valued the most now was the large amount of gold and silver in Baldy's hands!
In the 1930s, in order to deal with the impact of the Old Rice and Silver Act, they began to issue legal currency and banned the use of gold and silver.
Of course, they could not completely ban it, but for ordinary people, other than some copper coins in their hands, most of their money was exchanged for legal currency!
As a result, a large amount of gold and silver in the country flowed into the hands of the bald man. It was estimated that the amount should be quite a lot.
Rather than letting the foreigners take advantage of these things, it was better to let them flow into their own hands.
Moreover, they couldn't buy these things even if they had money now. As long as he lowered the price a little and gave them a little discount, would he be afraid that they wouldn't take the bait?
"Marshal is so generous! These weapons and equipment are cheaper than the ones sold by foreigners, but can we take a look at the goods first?”
"Sure! Daniu, take our guest to the military camp to take a look at the goods.”
"Yes, Marshal!"
Qian Daniu had become a qualified battalion commander after some training.
He was no longer as surprised as before when he saw something new or when he saw some big shots.
The events that had happened during this period of time had a huge impact on him. He was already a little numb.
After Zheng Jiemin went to take a look, he was very satisfied.
He seemed to have obtained the full authority of the baldy. After some consideration, he finally decided to buy it.
"Marshal, this is the quantity and variety we want to buy.”
Xia Zilong took it and was quite satisfied with the number.
He purchased 5,000 machine guns, 10,000 submachine guns, 100 million rounds of machine gun ammunition, and 300 million rounds of rifle and submachine gun ammunition, totaling 5.3 million dollars.
He purchased 300 75mm cannons, 30 105mm cannons, and 60,000 rounds of ammunition, totaling 7.5 million.
He bought 100 tanks, including the ammo and ammunition, as well as related maintenance parts, for a total of 1.8 million.
Buying 300 P36 planes, plus related bullets, aerial bombs, and maintenance parts, a total of 62 million.
In addition to the purchase of some cars and other military supplies, he had spent nearly 5 million yuan, making a total of nearly 86.5 million yuan.
Xia Zilong did a rough calculation and felt quite satisfied.
These things were taken out from the system and sold for double the price. The firearms were indeed profitable!
However, he still felt that such a transaction amount was a little too little. The bald man definitely had a lot more gold and silver.
"You only bought so little. How can it be enough for a few million soldiers?”
"Marshal, it is precisely because there are millions of soldiers that we are unable to fully equip them.
Sigh, as the saying goes, one doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are if one doesn't take charge. If one were to get serious, one would realize that raising so many troops was also very costly.”
Xia Zilong said," Well, if you had bought more, I could have given you a better discount. However, it's just this little bit. My transportation fee is not worth it. What a pity!”
"What kind of preferential treatment?" asked Zheng Jiemin.”
