my bright sword career

Chapter 54 Talking about business

"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, today's battle situation is like this, I failed to complete the task you gave me, please punish me!"

Standing in Shigeharu Fujino's office with his head down, Ryoichi Yamagami finished reporting today's battle in a low voice, with a look of remorse and grief on his face, and tears could not stop falling down.

Shinozuka Yoshio sat on a chair with a saber in his hand, without any expression on his face. Fujino Shigeharu asked with a straight face, "You mean, you were attacked by Chinese anti-aircraft guns as soon as you arrived in Kenanpo?"

"Yes, Your Excellency." Ryoichi Yamagami choked up, "When we arrived at Kenanpo, we were flying at an altitude of 6500 meters. As soon as I gave the order to lower the altitude and prepare for bombing, the shells of the Chinese people came up. The speed was very fast, and we lost two bombers and one Falcon in less than a minute."

"and many more……"

Kazuki Yamamoto interrupted Ryoichi Yamagami.

"Mr. Shanshang, if I heard correctly, you were at an altitude of 6500 at that time. Ordinary anti-aircraft artillery should not be able to hit such an altitude?"

"Yes." Fujino Shigeharu nodded: "To reach such a height, the caliber of the anti-aircraft artillery must be at least 60 mm.

But as far as I know, the Chinese government has purchased very few anti-aircraft artillery over the years, generally 20mm, 37mm or 40mm artillery.

Not even Chongqing has artillery with a caliber above 60 mm. Where did Yan Xishan get those large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery? "

Kazuki Yamamoto and Yoshio Shinozuka looked at each other, and suddenly said in unison: "Gao Hongming's militia!"

In the evening, Gao Hongming arrived at Yan Xishan's residence on time.

Although Yan Xishan was talking about a family banquet, the entourages were not of low status. Apart from his old acquaintance Sun Chu, there were also Commander of the Thirteenth Army Wang Jingguo and Commander of the Seventh Army Zhao Chengshou.

All in all, anyone at this table would be a bigwig who could shake the land of Shanxi by stomping his feet, but today they were all willing to serve as a foil.

Of course Gao Hongming knew that he didn't have that much face, and what made Yan Laoxi and these big guys put down their face to accompany him was of course the shining silver dollar.

Today I ate Shanxi’s famous dish assorted hot pot. Looking at the red charcoal fire coming out of the hot pot, the pork belly, crispy pork, vermicelli, yam, bean bubbles, etc. rolled in the hot pot. The chopsticks stopped after three bowls.

Seeing how Gao Hongming was eating, Yan Xishan pointed at him and smiled and said, "Look...look, young people can eat, very much like when we were young."

Sun Chu also said with emotion: "Yes, I still remember that in 26 years, under the order of the chief, the Ministry led the 12th regiment to retreat to Yanmen Pass, fought fiercely with the chairman's troops for three days, and finally repelled their army. attack.

Afterwards, one person in the staff department ate two lamb legs and one chicken, and drank a big bowl of pimple soup by himself, but it can't be done now. "

"Hehe..." Everyone laughed.

Gao Hongming looked at a few people, although these people are either old or potbellied now, but who knows that these people were all brilliant men when they were young.

After eating a slice of ham, Yan Xishan put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then said, "Gao's son, I thought you were a talent, but after today's incident, I think you are underestimated."

Gao Hongming didn't speak. The people sitting in front of him were all old nurses who had practiced for decades. If you want to play tricks with them, it's no different from playing big swords in front of Guan Gong. just fine.

Seeing that Gao Hongming was silent, Yan Xishan put a piece of ham into his bowl, and said slowly: "A few days ago, Cuiya (Sun Chu) got a batch of penicillin and sulfa powder from you, and signed a contract with you. A long-term supply contract, you don’t have any grievances in your heart, do you?”

Gao Hongming smiled: "Sir, you are joking. There is no end to money in this world. It is better to have fun with others than to have fun alone, so that money can be earned for a long time."

"Hahaha……"

A flash of admiration flashed in Yan Xishan's eyes, he pointed at him and said to everyone with a smile: "Look...look...Let me tell you, the kids from Liantai County don't have such shallow eyelids, they just have promise."

Zhao Chengshou and Wang Jingguo also laughed, and Wang Jingguo patted Gao Hongming on the shoulder: "You little doll insists on it. If there is anything that needs our help in the future, just ask, as long as we old guys can do it." I'll do it for you easily."

After hearing the words of these old foxes, Gao Hongming suddenly realized that the five people here are all from Shanxi, needless to say, except for Sun Chu, the other four people including himself are all from Liantai County. People of this age How obsessed with the concept of native land.

For Gao Hongming who grew up in later generations, this custom is not very cold, but it is a matter of course for people of this era.

Not only Yan Xishan, but Chairman Jiang, isn't he only from Zhejiang?If you are both a Whampoa student and a native of Fenghua, congratulations... Even if you are a pig, the chairman can make you fly.

After expressing his gratitude to the big brothers, Yan Xishan asked: "Son of the Gao family, today I see that almost all the weapons equipped by your troops are German products. It seems that you have a very wide range of opportunities."

"This one……"

Gao Hongming hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Yan Xishan laughed, "Don't get me wrong, we didn't mean to test you. As the saying goes, cats have the way of cats and snakes have the way of snakes. If you have the ability to handle arms, that's your ability. We haven't yet. Worked down to the point of coveting the business of the younger generation.

Old man, I just want to ask, can you get another batch of anti-aircraft guns, I can buy them at the market price. "

"That's okay." Gao Hongming replied without thinking, "How much do you want, sir?"

"As much as you want?"

"Yes... as much as you want!"

"Well, I want one hundred, and each anti-aircraft gun is equipped with one shell after another."

"No problem, one gun is equipped with one hundred shells, five thousand oceans, one hundred is 50 oceans!"

"Deal... Let's pay with one hand and deliver with the other."

The two talked to each other, and in less than 2 minutes, a business of 50 yuan was negotiated, and the other three people present were stunned.

Wang Jingguo wiped the sweat from his brow, "My dear, are all the kids so powerful now?"

He turned his head and asked Sun Chu and Zhao Chengshou who were beside him with emotion, "Cuiya, Yinfu, what were we doing when we were as old as Gao's children?"

Sun Chu thought for a while before saying: "At that time, I should have just graduated from Baoding Military Academy, and I was working as a trainee platoon leader under the hands of Lord Baichuan."

Zhao Chengshou shook his head: "I should be better than Cui Ya, and be the company commander in a regiment."

The three of them looked at each other, and looked at Gao Hongming, who was discussing business with Yan Xishan, and they all smiled wryly...
