Chapter 46: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!
"Hello, Sir Depps, I am the captain of the 88th Division Guard, Wei Zhengcai, first lieutenant, please take care of me!”
"Oh, so it's Boss Wei. He's really capable. He's promoted to the rank of first lieutenant at such a young age. Congratulations.”
"Thank you for your praise, Depps. Hahaha!”
Wei Zhengcai was overjoyed. He loved hearing this sentence the most.
Moreover, he had also heard people say that Westerners were arrogant and conceited. After seeing it today, it was indeed not true. Was this Depps easy to get along with?
"This is Madam Yang Huimin from our 88th division.”Wei Zhengcai's impression of Depps improved a lot, and he quickly introduced him to Depps.
"Miss Yang, you are very beautiful. I am very happy to be friends with you.”
"Me too." Depps said with a smile.
Yang Huimin naturally shook hands with Depps, but she didn't expect him to not let go. This made Yang Huimin very unhappy.
Just as Depps was holding onto Yang Huimin tightly, an Asian woman with a thick nose standing beside Depps spoke.
Hearing this voice, Depps immediately let go of his arm. The fields behind him had yet to be turned over. Therefore, he temporarily forgot about Yang Huimin.
"This is my friend, Madam Fanghua.”Depps introduced them again.
"Haha! Nice to meet you, Miss Fanghua!"
Wei Zhengcai shook his hand and glanced at his clothes. He realized that he was wearing a fashionable low-cut suit.
One could tell at a glance that this was a woman who had been to the sea and had a lot of experience.
Wei Zhengcai was dumbfounded, but it was obvious that the woman in front of him was more inclined to be a westerner.
Wei Zhengcai felt very regretful. He felt that such a good opportunity had been snatched away by a foreigner.
"Captain Wei, let's talk things out.”
At this time, Yang Huimin had to say something. Otherwise, Captain Wei would be mesmerized by the girl called Fanghua.
"Yes, yes, seriously.”
In order to avoid embarrassment, Wei Zhengcai quickly said. Then, he looked at Depps and said in a deep voice,""Sir Depps, we need a 37mm cannonball. How many do you have?”
"There should be only 24 left." Depps smacked his lips.”
"24?"
Wei Zhengcai frowned. This was really too little. It could not even be considered a foundation.
But it was better than nothing.
Wei Zhengcai said," We want all the ammunition. May I know how much each one costs, Sir Depps?"”
Depps raised a finger.
"Really?
Yang Huimin was a little surprised. Wei Zhengcai told him that weapons were very expensive now. A bullet cost at least ten dollars.
If that was the case, she could at least buy thousands of cannons with the money she had. With one shot, even those Wei Nation people would be blown to pieces.
But now, Wei Zhengcai was different. The value of a bomb was more than ten yuan, and it was for the sake of friends. She had never met Depps before, so how could he sell it for such a high price?
Therefore, Wei Zheng estimated that the price should be around 30 US dollars.
But now, he had only raised a finger. This was somewhat baffling.
However, Wei Zhengcai thought about it carefully. 100,000, 1,000,000, this price was too expensive.
"A hundred yuan?" Wei Zhengcai asked.
"A hundred yuan? Isn't this robbery?"
When Yang Huimin heard that, she was instantly furious.
But at this moment, Depps shook his hand and said,""No, I mean a piece of gold and a cannonball.”
"Team Leader Wei, where is the pistol?"
Yang Huimin asked Wei Zhengcai for a pistol, but Wei Zhengcai refused," Why don't you take out your gun?"
Wei Zhengcai tried his best to persuade Yang Huimin. He then said to Depps,""Mr. Depps, one cannon and one gold. Do you think you can leave China with this money?”
Depps didn't find Yang Huimin and Wei Zhengcai's reactions strange at all. He said slowly,""Boss Wei, you're in the army. I don't think I can hide some firearms from you.
Under normal circumstances, a bullet for a 37mm anti-war cannon would cost 23 dollars. If not, I can sell it for three dollars.”
"But isn't your price a little too much?”Wei Zhengcai retorted.
"Boss Wei, how old are you? The Wei Nation controlled all the sea routes. If I sell you ammunition. The Wei Nation people might never let me do business in China.
However, I've lived in China for so long, so I still have a lot of feelings for this place. This is also the reason why I risked my life to sell these ammo to you.
However, if I want to go back in the future, I'll need a huge sum of money. I want to live too."
Depps 'words were so subtle that even Wei Zhengcai, who was paranoid, believed him.
The Wei Nation had indeed controlled all the waterways around Shanghai. If Depps sold these bombs to the Chinese, the Wei Nation people would be furious and might even be hunted down.
Thus, Wei Zheng and Yang Huimin started discussing. However, where did Yang Huimin get so much money? One rocket launcher was worth one gold, so 24 gold was 24 gold.
Although the residents in the south donated a lot of things, most of them were food, clothes, medicine, and so on. They didn't donate much. Yang Huimin could not afford such a price.
She walked over to Depps and knocked on his desk.""Just ten gold pieces, are you willing?”
Depps smiled and reached out to hold Yang Huimin's hand." Since Ms. Yang said so, I'll give her a chance, but..."
Of course, Yang Huimin understood what the foreigner meant. She tried her best to suppress her nausea." Twenty-four cannons and ten gold bars. If I exchange them for money, I'll be friends with Depps."”
Depps nodded slightly, a gratified expression on his face. However, he did not expect that the gorgeous Fang Huazi next to him would actually step on him. He picked up his bag and left angrily.
Depps looked at Yang Huimin and endured the pain in his leg. He asked politely,""Ms. Yang? You see, I offended Miss Fanghua because of you.”
As he spoke, Depps reached out a small hand in front of Yang Huimin's desk.
At this moment, even Wei Zhengcai couldn't hold it in anymore. However, how could Depps have enough gunpowder? He had no choice.
Wei Zhengcai could only say,"Sir Depps, this matter has been decided. Can you help us get those cannonballs?"”
" Wait for my notice," Depps refused." The bomb isn't in the city. I need to think about how to get it."
You don't have to worry, Mr. Wei and Ms. Yang. I, Depps, always keep my word. Besides, if Beauty Yang is willing to be friends with me, I won't go back on my word, hahaha!”
