Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

At night, a young man in a dark gray suit suddenly appeared at the military spy observation point diagonally opposite Guifu Tower.

He wore a black marching hat with the brim pushed low. On her feet she wears a pair of pure cowhide leather shoes imported from Italy.

The young man looked very energetic. After entering the surveillance point, all the agents looked solemn and saluted the visitors.

The person who came at this time was none other than Dragon Boat Festival.

After leaving Zhang Mansion, Duanwu went back to the Economic Development Office.

Originally, he wanted to have a brief explanation with Wei Qin and then go back to the apartment to change into casual clothes and meet Zheng Yaoxian. But Wei Qin said that a British businessman wanted to see him.

This British businessman is a woman, only in her early twenties, named John Smecta. The heavy makeup is very attractive. He said he was here to do business during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Duanwu chatted with the other party for more than half an hour before he understood the purpose of the other party's trip. John Smecta turned out to be an arms dealer. She came to discuss cooperation, and the price she directly gave was very favorable.

Obviously, this John Smecta should also know about Dragon Boat Festival doing business with Germans and Americans.

Duanwu guessed that she had been watching before, waiting for Duanwu to be unable to buy weapons, so he would ask her to be John Smecta, and then she would sell her weapons and equipment at a high price.

But he didn't want Dragon Boat Festival to be one step ahead. Not only did he buy German weapons and equipment at low prices, but he even rushed to send weapons from the United States.

So John Smecta was a little anxious, after all, her weapons and equipment had arrived on the high seas.

It is obvious that this John Smecta is also very good at business. She shipped the weapons and equipment early, and when the Chinese were impatient because they couldn't buy weapons, she directly threw out her trump card: My weapons and equipment are on the high seas. If you Chinese want them, I can't get them. It will appear in your Chinese port in 12 hours.

And even if Duanwu purchased weapons and equipment, she felt that no arms supplier could supply them as fast as her.

Unexpectedly, the Germans and Americans both used transport aircraft to transport weapons and equipment by air, which made her little plan fail again.

So in desperation, John Smita could only come here to look for the weapons and equipment that Duanwu swallowed her. There were two weapons and equipment in a regiment, including two 100 mm caliber cannons.

But Dragon Boat Festival doesn't want it.

China does lack weapons, but the weapons are too mixed. Nowadays, all the troops use Japanese weapons and equipment, as well as weapons and ammunition manufactured by major arsenals in China. Including 79 rifles, there are Liao 13 rifles, made in Hanyang, Zhongzheng rifles, etc.

And machine guns are even more diverse, with many even having different calibers.

This makes it difficult for the logistics support department to distribute ammunition to the soldiers on the front line. Sometimes the ammunition is even distributed, but when it is transported to the front line, it is discovered that the ammunition is not the same model as their guns at all. In other words, the ammunition is available, but the soldiers on the front line can only watch and cannot use it at all.

So this creation of all nations is also very deceptive.

Nowadays, German-style equipment is available, and American-style equipment is also available. And if we purchase British equipment, it will greatly increase the burden of logistical support.

However, John Smecta's weapons and equipment are indeed very cheap, and Duanwu thinks he can buy them. And even if he doesn't use it, he can still return it to Commander Yan as a favor.

When he jumped out of the Japanese encirclement, Commander Yan helped a lot. Moreover, the last time he purchased weapons and equipment from the Germans, the little devils destroyed him and suffered a lot of losses. Therefore, it is most appropriate to give this batch of weapons and equipment to Commander Yan as a favor.

However, Duanwu did not directly agree to John Smita, but said that he still had to think about it.

After all, he still doesn't know whether Commander Yan will want this batch of weapons and equipment. On his side, Minister Wang of the Ministry of Finance is still operating, and borrowing money from the international community will not happen overnight.

So after sending John Smita away, Duanwu immediately called the Second War Zone.

The person who answered the phone was Commander Yan's secretary, and when he heard it was the Dragon Boat Festival, he immediately transferred the call to Commander Yan.

Commander Yan was murmuring in his heart when he heard that Duanwu had handed over an arms business to him. He thought to himself: "How kind-hearted is this guy Duanwu? And he just gave up the good arms business to himself?"

Commander Yan didn't believe it, so he said directly: "Why don't you swallow such cheap weapons and equipment yourself? Do you have all the weapons and equipment for the main divisions of the Central Army?"

Duanwu smiled proudly and said: "Although the weapons and equipment have not arrived, the contract has been finalized. So do you want the British equipment for this regiment? I would have called Lao Li if you didn't want it? If it weren't for the fact that you Yan tried his best to rescue me from the Japanese encirclement, so I didn’t even bother!"

Commander Yan laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, Dragon Boat Festival, I don't feel at ease when you say that? You must be more cautious when dealing with your kid, so as not to be betrayed by your kid, I will help you count the money!"

Duanwu pretended to be angry and said: "In that case, don't buy this weapon and equipment, lest I trick you again, I will ask others."

With that said, Dragon Boat Festival was about to hang up the phone.

At this time, Commander Yan quickly said: "Okay, okay, I believe it, I believe it. I will ask Xuanwu to go to your place tomorrow to discuss the purchase of weapons. By the way, you are sharper than a monkey, help me take a look at those Weapons and equipment, these foreigners are very tricky. Last time, I suffered a lot of losses. This time, you should pay more attention. When you come to the second theater, I will treat you to a drink."

Duanwu smiled and said: "Hahaha, okay, let Xuanwu come tomorrow, and I will take him to meet the seller."

After that, Duanwu hung up the phone and asked Wei Qin to contact John Smecta tomorrow morning.

The Dragon Boat Festival cannot give John Smecta the illusion that they are in urgent need of this batch of weapons and ammunition, otherwise John Smecta will not know what trouble will occur.

In his interactions with arms dealers from many countries, Duanwu has discovered that each of these arms dealers is more cunning than the last. Even if they get the slightest hint that you must buy their weapons and equipment, they will immediately raise the price.

So Duanwu asked Wei Qin to delay John Smecta for a day while he returned to his apartment, changed into plain clothes, and came to meet Zheng Yaoxian again.

Faintly, Duanwu had already noticed that the little devil might jump over the wall and risk his life. And it is very likely that they will take action tonight.

So when he came to the military surveillance point outside Guifu Tower, the first thing he wanted to do was to see what the little Japs were doing. The second thing is to see if there is any progress on Zheng Yaoxian's side.

It would be great if Zheng Yaoxian could take the initiative here and catch all the spies who are still lurking in the mountain city first.

Of course, this "catch them all" is a false accusation, because it is impossible to kill all the spies in the mountain city. After killing a group, another group of spies will come in. And those traitors are like leeks, once they are cut, another one will grow! .
