My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 79 The Birth of Friendship

"Mr. Fang, I want to ask how many weapons you need, or how many armed forces you will have to save yourself?"

Liao Mingyu took a sip from the teacup, and after listening to Fang Jingyao's words, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel anything at all.

In history, overseas Chinese have never failed their motherland.After the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, countless overseas Chinese anti-Japanese national salvation groups united tens of millions of overseas Chinese.

Take the overseas Chinese in Nanyang as an example. In the first half of 1939 alone, the Association of Overseas Chinese in Nanyang provided 50 sets of cotton padded clothes, 210 seven planes, 23 tanks, and [-] ambulances to the anti-Japanese front line. The magnitude of the assistance surprised the world.

In addition to helping military supplies, overseas Chinese also supported the war by donating money and subscribing for anti-Japanese national debt.During the war of resistance against Japan, overseas Chinese donated more than 13 billion yuan to the country, subscribed for 11 billion yuan of national debt, and remitted 95 billion yuan.Half of the 5 million treasury bonds issued by the National Government in the first phase were subscribed by overseas Chinese.In addition, the national debt subscribed by overseas Chinese was not repaid due to internal reasons, which is exactly the same as direct donation.

During the Anti-Japanese War, more than 400 million overseas Chinese participated in the Anti-Japanese War donations. Among them were wealthy businessmen like Tan Kah Kee, street vendors like Zheng Chaojiong, and beggars and prostitutes.No matter where they are or what their identities are, they have never forgotten their Yanhuang blood.

They are worthy of respect, Liao Mingyu thought in his heart.And now millions of overseas Chinese are struggling to survive under the Japanese butcher's knife.How could he be completely indifferent.

"Actually, our Nanyang Self-Saving Association is not only in terms of military and armed forces, but also includes workers, peasants, and commerce. The provisional council jointly established by seven major families is in charge. Each family leads countless overseas Chinese and Japanese to resist in the industries they are good at. "

"As for military power, our Fang family is relatively good at it. The family has an old relationship with General Tang Jiyao, and Fang was admitted to the Yunnan Lecture Martial Arts Hall under the arrangement of the family in his early years. After graduation, he followed General Tang to train in the Yunnan Army. Participated in the National Defense War. Haha, I'm not afraid of Captain Liao's jokes. Fang was only 18 years old at that time."

In order to express honesty, Fang Jingyao slowly revealed his identity:

"After the National Defense War, I quit the Yunnan Army and returned to Singapore to manage the family business. So far, Fang has returned to Yunnan for the sake of the nation."

"Now we will have two troops for self-rescue, one in Brunei, and the other in the south of Siam, near Kuala Lumpur. The Siam force has more than 3000 people, but it is limited by strength. We have to organize Zero, focusing on containment and not confronting the Japanese army head-on.”

It turned out that he was fighting guerrillas in the jungle south of Siam. After listening to what he said, Liao Mingyu nodded and understood.This Fang Jingyao was a bit unexpected.I have read the lecture on martial arts, and in 16 years in the Yunnan army, I also led soldiers to fight the war of protecting the country.Is a rare talent.

But now Siam has fully compromised with Japan and acted as a servant state for the Japanese.I'm just afraid that the life of these Nanyang guerrillas will get worse and worse.

"Sorry, bring all the Japanese-style weapons in our warehouse, as well as the 7.7 caliber weapons from the British, and sell all the firearms to Mr. Fang below the market price!"

Liao Mingyu thought for a while, and then gave Mengfan an order.

"No way! Captain Liao." Liao Mingyu's generosity won Fang Jingyao's favor again, but he was not someone who didn't know the good and the bad.

"Your army's trophies were also won through hard battles, how can I take advantage of you!"

"Don't worry, although our strength is not strong, the seven major families have been operating in Nanyang for many years, and they have considerable financial resources. Compared with Luzi, this money aspect is really not worth mentioning."

"I know the situation of the Sichuan Army to some extent, and it's not easy for you. Brother Meng, later, the firearms will be charged [-]% more according to the original market price. Don't be polite to me. What we say will never change. Hehe, if you return it in the future If you have arms to sell, please don't forget Fang Mou, Captain Liao."

Fang Jingyao snorted haha ​​and expressed his sincerity very boldly.If they can take the path of Liao Mingyu for a long time, then their arms will be guaranteed.Coupled with the admiration for Liao Mingyu, there is no harm in spending more money.

Although this equipment is still not enough, it is better than nothing, it is better than nothing, right?You know, there are still people in the guerrillas in southern Siam who use breech shotguns.

"Since Mr. Fang insists on this, it is better to be respectful than to obey. I, Liao Mingyu, thank you here. I will not hide from you that my troops have been in some difficulties recently. This is the only way to make this decision. Don't worry, if there are more firearms in the future, Will definitely contact you."

Liao Mingyu wanted to do his part, but every family had a hard-to-read scripture, and his troops were about to be incapacitated.Since the other party doesn't care about money matters, he is happy to accept it.Be polite but appear hypocritical.

"Come on, remove the tea! Today I want to have two cups with Mr. Fang."

"Haha, Captain Liao is a man of temperament, and he has a very good appetite for the other party. Today, I will not return with Captain Liao if you are not drunk."

Fang Jingyao laughed and said, it can be seen that he is also a generous person.

"Sir, it's still..." The hooked nose next to him motioned to Fang Jingyao, hesitating to say anything.

Fang Jingyao waved his hand: "It's okay, Head Liao believes in me, and I can trust Head Liao."

A table of simple wine and dishes was quickly served. Liao Mingyu raised his glass and said to Jingyao, "Mr. Fang and I just met each other today. Come, I'll toast you."

"Dry!"

"Please."

Drink this glass of wine in one gulp.Fang Jingyao put down the cup and said freely, "Haha, it's a strange thing to call you a gentleman. Leader Liao, don't be more polite, just call me Jingyao."

Liao Mingyu also had this idea: "Mr. Fang should be more than ten years older than me. My brother, I am thirty years old this year. I don't mind calling you old brother. You don't need to be the head of the regiment, just call me by my name."

"Haha, what the hell, it's my honor. Fang is forty-two this year, but he is more than ten years older than you. But Ming Yu was a general when he was established.

……

After the meal was full, the two also deepened their impression of each other.Although Fang Jingyao is gentle and gentle on the surface, he is also a man of temperament, and Liao Mingyu is also happy to make friends with him.In the conversation with him, I also learned a lot of information about Nanyang, maybe... I will really use his resources in the future.

The firearms were quickly pulled over by Meng Fan. In addition to the Japanese weapons on the list, there were hundreds of Lee Enfields and a dozen Bren light machine guns, as well as a batch of 10mm bullets.

The troops are about to change their outfits, and these 7.7mm caliber weapons have become tasteless in their hands.Might as well take advantage of this opportunity and sell them all to Fang Jingyao and the others.

Compared with Japanese-style weapons, Fang Jingyao and the others prefer British-style firearms. After all, it is easier to obtain British-style equipment in Nanyang.

In the end, the batch of guns was calculated to be more than 3 yuan in total. Fang Jingyao, the young man, said boldly that he would pay [-] yuan, and Meng was so annoyed that he happily called the head of the group that the drink was really worth it!
Fang Jingyao asked Hook-nosed Agui to find his entourage, and they sent these weapons away in batches in an orderly manner.Because the ocean is inconvenient to carry, Fang Jingyao did not bring too much this time. After paying 1 yuan for the ocean, Fang Jingyao replaced it with more than 5 small yellow croakers.

Looking at a large box of real gold and silver, Liao Mingyu couldn't help but straighten his eyes, not to mention the few Tie Hanhan beside him.

That little yellow croaker is a hard currency that is harder than the ocean.On the eve of the war, a small yellow croaker can be exchanged for 30 to 40 yuan of ocean, and in the past 42 years, one can even exchange for 60 yuan of ocean, do you think this thing is worthless?

"Ming Yu, just come here. I don't worry about this batch of equipment on the road. I have to escort me on the road to feel at ease. I will leave a few people here as contacts, and I can contact them if there is anything."

Fang Jingyao bowed to Liao Mingyu and said goodbye.He was worried that Chi would change, and wanted to escort the weapons back to the army as soon as possible.They walked down the Nu River and entered Siam, where they were greeted by someone.

"It's a long time coming to Japan. Next time I have the opportunity to come to Zenda, I will definitely have a drink with you again. Farewell!"

"Brother Jingyao, take care! Be careful on the road."

Liao Mingyu nodded, and clasped his fists to say goodbye to this arrogant elder brother.
