Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

At table No. 16 of the Rose Western Restaurant, opposite the Dragon Boat Festival, a fat middle-aged foreigner was sitting.

This middle-aged fat foreigner can be described as an out-and-out "heavyweight" figure.

He was huge, with an astonishing waist and hip circumference, at least four feet or more. A chair could not fit him in. It was visually estimated that he weighed at least 350 kilograms.

Compared with him, even three of them could probably fit in the Dragon Boat Festival.

A big face with a kind smile and dark brown skin.

This color looks healthy, but due to age, his hair has begun to thin and become gray.

However, this did not make him look older, but rather gave him an affable image.

His eyes are deep blue, like a clear lake, showing a kind of calmness and wisdom.

Faced with such a person, Dragon Boat Festival did not dare to let down his guard even for a moment.

August is far from being as simple as he seems. Duanwu asked Wei Qin to check this person's information. This person was also a soldier, but not an army but a navy. It is said that he was also a general.

So Duanwu didn't believe that August was just as he seemed, a kind and kind fat old man, and a foreign old man at that.

Behind August were two equally fat and muscular bodyguards, wearing black suits and sunglasses.

August waved them aside slightly, but asked Wei Qin to sit down.

He praised: "Miss Wei is getting more and more beautiful."

Wei Qin responded with a polite smile, and then said to August: "Mr. Aogu, our director has always been very sincere about this business, and is very willing to start long-term cooperation with Mr. Aogu." .”

August nodded and said: "Like Mr. Duanwu, I am very sincere. I also benefited a lot from the last discussion with Mr. Duanwu. But the number and price of the arms are still difficult for me to accept. I must have You also know that before me, Clemens of the company made a lot of money for the company."

Duanwu sneered at this moment and said: "Then what happens? Clemens died, leaving a huge mess. Commander Yan of the second theater is still angry now? I wonder how your company will end up? ?”

August said: "We have delivered the goods to China, and your Commander Yan has sent someone to receive the goods. Then the goods were robbed, so we can only say it is a pity."

Duanwu shook his head and said: "You may not know the temper of this Chief Yan. What he values ​​most is money. This time he spent a high price and didn't get what he wanted. I don't think he can count. Finished."

August said nonchalantly: "So what? I didn't sell the arms to him, and Clemens is dead. Will he blame me? So Mr. Duanwu, let's come here Let’s talk about our affairs! The quantity you want is huge, so I can give you some discounts. I’ll give you all the weapons and equipment of a German weapon master, and you only need to pay 200 million US dollars, which is much better than that of Yan The commander’s price is much lower.”

But at this time, Duanwu was still not satisfied with the price.Because the fiscal expenditures of the Republic of China government simply could not afford such huge military expenditures.

Duanwu once asked Wei Qin to investigate how much tax could be collected in a year.Wei Qin’s survey result was a little over one billion.

Based on the exchange rate between legal tender and US dollars at that time, this more than one billion legal tender could only be converted into more than 500 million US dollars.This seems like a lot, but the key point is that it is impossible for all of the two five million US dollars to be used for military expenditures, and will your military pay be paid?
Therefore, the Ministry of Finance is generally very cautious in allocating funds.

Therefore, August’s price is difficult for Duanwu to accept. Duanwu must lower the price to about 150 million US dollars.

He signaled August to eat steak while thinking about countermeasures. However, at this moment, he saw two sturdy but short men with crew cut clothes outside the window. They looked into the restaurant and left. .

Duanwu smiled, and then said to August: "Mr. Ogu, your price is still too high. I can only offer 120 million US dollars."

August shook his head frequently and said: "This is not possible, even if you buy the weapons and equipment of two German weapon masters, it is impossible."

But at this time, Duanwu said indifferently: "Perhaps if there is a chance, I will save your life, and you will agree to come?"

August shook his head repeatedly and said: "Mr. Duanwu, you will not have this chance. The two bodyguards behind me are all retired from the special forces. Do you know the special forces? That is a kind of execution Special mission troops, the people who come out of them can each be as good as ten.

By the way, it seems that there is no such army in China.So I am not saying that China is too backward and cannot defeat the Japanese, so there is nothing surprising about it.

Of course, if we have the weapons and equipment of our Germans, it will be a different matter.For example, Mr. Dragon Boat Festival, hasn’t he been using our German submachine guns to fight?Hahaha! "

August's implication was that Dragon Boat Festival's victory was entirely because Dragon Boat Festival used a German submachine gun.

In other words, the name "Chinese Madman" has been used by arms dealers as a propaganda sign.

They keep saying, do you know that Chinese lunatic?They were able to win only with the weapons of our Germans!

As for the Dragon Boat Festival tactics, they had long been ignored.

Dragon Boat Festival did not argue with August, but continued to smile at August, because he knew that something bad might happen to the fat man.

Of course, before that, Dragon Boat Festival still had to negotiate his own business.

Duanwu suddenly said: "Mr. August, I will make a condition, weapons and equipment for one division at US$120 million. I want two divisions. The total price is US$240 million."

August refused quickly: "No, no, no, I will give you a maximum of 380 million US dollars for the two divisions. And I have already received the news that your main division in China is now very short of weapons and equipment. You are You can't fool me. And isn't my selling price already much lower than Clemens's?

And even if the profit is 20 US dollars, I still have to convince the company, otherwise I won’t even get this price.

Mr. Dragon Boat Festival, I say this because I regard you as my friend and long-term partner, otherwise I would never waste so much saliva. "

Duanwu smiled again and said while eating steak: "It's okay, Mr. Ogu, we can all think about it again. And although I am the director of the Economic Development Office, I don't have the money here. I want to buy weapons and equipment." You need to apply for funding from the Ministry of Finance. So even if we reach an agreement on this matter, I will have to convince the Ministry of Finance."

But at this moment, August suddenly smiled evilly and said: "Haha, Mr. Dragon Boat Festival, I heard that the Minister of Finance is your father-in-law?"
