In Li Yan's office, Li Yan and Zhou Zhihua, the deputy director of the Jiuzhan Military District, started chatting.
Zhou Zhihua was very understanding. He kept praising Li Yan, saying that he was a rare talent. In the past, he would be on the same level as Huo Qubing and Wei Qing.
The two of them chatted for about half an hour. Zhou Zhihua organized his words and whispered,"Commander Li, other than escorting the new recruits and military pay, I have another mission!”
"Oh, what mission?" Li Yan asked in surprise.
"Commander Li, didn't you say in the telegram that you could provide weapons and equipment to the 9th Battle Area if they needed them?”
Zhou Zhihua stared into Li Yan's eyes and continued,""Xia Zhong has already mobilized more than 100,000 troops to gather in the surrounding areas of the provincial capital of E Province. The defense of Chang City is imminent.”
"Although the 9th Battle Area has close to 500,000 soldiers, the 9th Battle Area's jurisdiction is too big. For this Changsha defense battle, the 9th Battle Area can only mobilize a total of 250,000 soldiers.”
"However, although these 250,000 people are twice the strength of the Japanese army, their weapons and equipment are very backward.”
" Therefore, Commander Chen Cheng hopes that Commander Li can consider the overall situation and provide a large batch of weapons and equipment to the Ninth Battle Area!”
Hearing this, Li Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly.
The jurisdiction of the 9th Battle Area was very large, including Jiangxi, Hubei, and Hunan.
Since it was the Anti-Japanese War, the 9th Battle Area was in charge of the military and the people's livelihood of these three provinces.
In short, the Ninth Battle Area was so big that it had three provinces. If the Ninth Battle Area wanted to buy weapons and equipment, they could just squeeze in a few million dollars!
Li Yan was excited when he thought of this number.
He could exchange weapons and equipment from the system and sell them to the 9th Battle Area. During this process, Li Yan naturally couldn't sell them at the original price. He wanted to earn a portion of the difference in price to supplement the 108th Division.
One had to know that the weapons and equipment in the system were all at cost price. Even if Li Yan sold them to the 9th Battle Area at double the price, Chen Cheng would probably still think that it was very cheap and worth it!
On the sofa, Zhou Zhihua saw that Li Yan didn't say anything and was smiling to himself. This made him a little confused.
After a while, seeing that Li Yan had no reaction, Zhou Zhihua frowned and asked,""Commander Li, did you hear what I just said?”
" Ahem, ahem…" Li Yan coughed twice and wiped away the smile on his face."Division Chief Zhou, the 108th division is also under the leadership of the 9th battle area. I will not reject Commander Chen Cheng's request. As long as the 9th battle area can pay me the equivalent amount, I can provide you with rifles, machine guns, and cannons!”
Li Yan wanted to say something about planes and tanks, but he stopped himself.
Planes and tanks were too expensive. Losing one would make one's heart ache for a long time. With this money, it would be better to buy more machine guns and cannons in the 9th Battle Area.
"Commander Li, don't worry. As long as the price isn't too outrageous, the Ninth Battle Area will accept it!”Zhou Zhihua said with a smile.
He knew very well that at this time, foreign arms dealers could no longer transport weapons and equipment to the inland areas because the northeast and southeast areas of Xia City were all occupied by the Japanese army.
If foreign arms dealers wanted to ship weapons and equipment to the Xia City army, they only had one way to go, and that was through Myanmar, Vietnam, and other places.
However, these two countries were too backward. They didn't even have normal roads. The cost of transporting weapons and equipment was too high. Foreign arms dealers had already given up on the Xia City market.
Although he didn't know where Li Yan got his weapons and equipment, as long as Li Yan could provide them to the 9th Battle Area, it was already very good news.
Opposite him, Li Yan looked at Zhou Zhihua's expectant eyes and stood up.""Director Zhou, wait for me for a while. I'll give you a list of what I can provide and mark their prices!”
"Sorry to trouble you, Commander Li!" Zhou Zhihua quickly stood up and thanked him politely.
Then, Li Yan left the office and went to another empty room.
"What weapons and equipment should we sell to the 9th Battle Area?”Li Yan's eyes flickered as he pondered.
The 9th Battle Area might not be willing to buy it because it was too expensive. Secondly, Li Yan did not want to see the 9th Battle Area become too powerful. After all, his 108th Division was also in the 9th Battle Area's jurisdiction.
Li Yan wasn't very assured about Principal Jiang. Although the whole country was cooperating to fight against the Japanese army, they had to unite against the outside world.
However, Principal Jiang was also very smart.
Ever since the war against Japan broke out, the warlords all over the country had to obey the orders of the national government. Under Principal Jiang's calculations, the strength of the warlords had been greatly consumed, and many of the warlords 'forces had disappeared.
However, on the other side, not only did Vice-chancellor Jiang's troops not weaken, but their numbers grew even stronger. From this, it could be seen how well Vice-chancellor Jiang had calculated.
Principal Jiang controlled the government of the Republic of China, which was a legitimate big organization. Under the environment of the national war of resistance, the various warlords were really exhausted.
For example, the Northeast Army, which used to be the most powerful army, had almost been completely disintegrated!
After thinking through these key issues, Li Yan opened the system store. He didn't choose advanced weapons, but some weapons and equipment that shone during World War II.
Weapons and equipment that could shine in World War II were enough to deal with the army sent by Xia Zhong.
It should be known that the most elite army of the Japanese army was not the Central China dispatched army. The Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast was the most powerful combat organization of the Japanese army.
After half an hour, Li Yan finally chose some reliable, powerful, and affordable weapons and equipment.
Then, Li Yan found a piece of white paper, took out a pen, and began to record the attributes and selling price of these weapons and equipment.
Not long after, Li Yan finished recording all the information and walked to his office with the piece of paper full of words.
In Li Yan's office, Zhou Zhihua had been waiting for more than an hour.
Hearing footsteps, Zhou Zhihua immediately perked up.
Soon, Li Yan walked in.
"Director Zhou, sorry to keep you waiting!" Li Yan smiled, walked to the sofa, and sat down.
" It's alright. I didn't wait long…" Zhou Zhihua replied with a smile.
Although he had waited for more than an hour, Zhou Zhihua did not dare to be dissatisfied. Li Yan was a lieutenant general, two ranks higher than him. Just his military rank alone was enough to crush him.
Furthermore, Li Yan was in control of an army, and he was a local power. Zhou Zhihua naturally did not dare to be dissatisfied with such a person.
