Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

The affairs of the 51st Arsenal have come to an end for the time being. Follow-up research and development, data proofreading, etc. are not matters that Dragon Boat Festival needs to worry about. Dragon Boat Festival only needs to provide support when the arsenal needs to introduce new stamping equipment after the submachine gun passes the test.

But don’t even think about it, this must be a big expense. Duanwu even felt that the Ministry of Finance might not be able to come up with the money.

So at this time, Dragon Boat Festival has another task, which is to get some money to use for purchasing equipment at the 51st Arsenal.

But now is not the time for Duan Wu to command the troops. He is trapped in the mountain city. Where can he find money?

I don’t have any good ideas for the time being, so I don’t think about it at Dragon Boat Festival. Return to the mountain city to receive the first batch of weapons and equipment for a regiment sent by Watt Company.

Since it was transported by air, the first batch of weapons and equipment was not very large.

But Dragon Boat Festival can also understand. Moreover, it is probably a matter of time before some heavy weapons are shipped, and even if the Dragon Boat Festival subsidizes some of Watt's shipping costs, they will not hesitate.

Because when the Dragon Boat Festival returned to the mountain city, it was already April 4. In one month, the Battle of Wuhan would inevitably begin. Even if the little devil knew that he had purchased weapons and equipment from Germany, it was not certain that he would launch the Wuhan Battle in advance.

Of course, this depends on how many troops the little devil can mobilize. If there are not enough troops, the little devil will fight this battle unless his brain is rusty.

But in any case, Watt Company acted very quickly this time. It took three days, and the weapons and equipment were airlifted by noon on the 26th.

There was no time to rest during the Dragon Boat Festival, so we took the bus directly to the airport. August was waiting at the airport early. And when the Dragon Boat Festival arrived, the weapons and equipment had already been unloaded.

August walked over with a smile and shook hands with Duanwu and said: "Mr. Duanwu, you came at the right time. The weapons and equipment have been unloaded. The weapons and equipment of the first batch of regiments are all here. There are submachine guns and sniper rifles. , light machine guns, heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars, and two Type 88 combat anti-aircraft guns."

Duanwu laughed and said: "Watt Company is really an honest company, so let me see these weapons and equipment!"

At this time, Duanwu said that Watt Company was an honest company, but he had to check the weapons and equipment carefully.

This is no joke. These weapons and equipment are used to kill the enemy in battle. If there is any problem, it will be a joke with the lives of the soldiers.

For example, in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, at the beginning of the naval battle, the soldiers discovered that the cannonballs sold to them by foreigners were filled with sand. This led to the almost complete annihilation of the Chinese navy.

Therefore, when doing business with foreigners, you must be more cautious.

So Duanwu asked the soldiers to open the boxes one by one and check them, and he also took out one of the neatly stacked MP28 submachine guns, inserted a magazine and fired.

Chuchuchu! Chuchuchu!

After one round of bullets was fired, it was very smooth.

88 war anti-aircraft guns, grenades, mortars, light and heavy machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns were all tried out during the Dragon Boat Festival.

There was no problem with all the weapons, and Duanwu finally felt relieved. But he also needs to arrange the next thing. When receiving weapons and equipment, he must follow his process.

Ammunition needs to be randomly checked, and you can't just take it wherever it is conveniently placed. That won't work. Because it is possible that what others send to you is good, but bad ones, such as expired ammunition, are placed underneath.

In other words, the other party directly filled the ammunition with sand, and you can't tell anything from the outside.

So it is very necessary to try it out like this. And the other party couldn't say anything. Because who buys weapons and ammunition without trying them? Unless the person's brain is not working well, what others say will be whatever it is.

However, at this time, Duanwu had to admit that Germany was the most reliable when it came to military industry during World War II. There was no problem with the inspection. Duanwu and August said: "Call all your German brothers. I will treat them to dinner at the airport today."

August said: "They have to fly back immediately."

At this point, August deliberately lowered his voice and said: "To be honest with Mr. Duanwu, hiring a military transport plane this time is not cheap. We pay by the hour."

Duanwu smiled and said: "Since you are August's friend enough, I, Duanwu, will not be stingy. I paid for this hour and asked the brothers on the plane and the pilot to come down. We will go back after eating. And This will be the treatment from now on. Although I don’t have much money, I can still afford this hour’s meal.”

Hearing this, August said very gratefully: "Thank you. On behalf of the company's employees and our German pilots, I am very grateful to Mr. Duanwu for his hospitality."

After saying that, August quickly went to ask the company's employees and pilots to follow Dragon Boat Festival to eat.

Those Watt Company employees and pilots were naturally very happy. They were still thinking before, flying all the way here, not even eating a meal, not drinking a sip of water, and just going back like this? Although they make money, they always feel uncomfortable. They even wanted to protest to August.

Of course, they will not protest to the Dragon Boat Festival, because they are buyers and they have already paid for the goods.

They were protesting against August, because he was in charge of the arms business in East Asia and it was he who took over Clemens's duties.

Therefore, the issues of eating and rest also need to be arranged by August.

But August had no choice. The company could not make much money from this business deal, but because of his assassination, the company was so angry that it even gave Duanwu a regiment of weapons and equipment.

As a result, the company's profits are even lower, and there is even no profit, so the company really doesn't want to spend more money on food and transportation.

And August was directly ordered by Watt Company. The company asked him to do this. Would he dare not to do it?

Unless he uses his own money to fill the hole.

But although August is a general agent in East Asia, his salary is not even 8,000 US dollars a month. If he is responsible for the meals of so many people and the shipping costs, then he will probably have to go to the northwest in the second half of the year. The wind is blowing.

So August knew that it was never good to do things like this, but he had no choice.

But I don’t want to say a word in Dragon Boat Festival and the matter will be solved perfectly.

Of course, real money will also be spent during the Dragon Boat Festival.

After calculation at Dragon Boat Festival, August gave himself a total of 200,000 US dollars, 100,000 US dollars to Philip, and the remaining 100,000 US dollars was probably only enough to receive these German transport teams.

So Duanwu suddenly became poor again. In addition to the 80,000 yuan in the bank, he only had a few hundred yuan left at his disposal.

However, Duanwu believes that the money is well spent. Because as long as the pilots and those Watt Company employees are captured, it will not be easy for Watt Company to do anything with the arms.

After all, as the saying goes, if you eat someone else, your mouth will be short, but if you take advantage of someone, your hands will be short! .
