Spy War 1929

Chapter 310 Do you want to arm an army?
Chen Ledao didn't take Changqing's matter to heart, but accepted the interview with Shenbao in his free time.

The interviewing reporter was called Song Shi, and now Song Shi is quite well-known in the reporter circle in Shanghai.

Without him, because Song Shi can often get some news that others can't get.

Chen Ledao is now a celebrity in Shanghai. He has a high sense of presence no matter in the upper class circles or the ordinary people at the bottom.

People are very interested in his movements and news.

Whether it is a big newspaper that discusses current affairs like Shenbao, or some small newspapers that focus on parents' family affairs, there is no shortage of Chen Ledao on it.

There is no other reason, just because readers like it.

As for Song Shi, he has been singing praises for Chen Ledao in newspapers since the Jintai Mian incident.

Therefore, Chen Ledao also particularly likes to accept his interviews.

Nowadays, Song Shi has a tendency to become Chen Ledao's exclusive reporter.

In Chen Ledao's place, Song Shi can often get the news that others can't interview.

This time Changqing was no exception, Chen Ledao only accepted the interview with Le Songshi alone.

On the third day after Chang Qing's incident, Chen Ledao was sitting in a coffee restaurant waiting for someone, and there was a cup of steaming coffee in front of his table.

With a spoon in his right hand, Chen Ledao stirred unconsciously in the cup, taking a sip from time to time, then rubbed his brows and added a piece of sugar into it.

He was holding a declared newspaper in his left hand, and was looking at the reports about him with admiring eyes.

As a major national newspaper, Shenbao is one of the biggest brothers in the newspaper industry. The report on Chen Ledao does not take up a lot of space in it.

However, Chen Ledao couldn't help but smile when he saw Song Shi's objective report on him in the newspaper.Even the bitter coffee in his mouth seemed to have become a little sweeter.

Chang Qing said that he is not Chinese and that he is hypocritical.

Heh, what a fart he knows!

Let's do something good, can't we still publicize it?
Uncle Liu Huang has fought all his life, so he also wants to enjoy himself when he is at the end.

Besides, by doing this, isn't he also setting an example for the majority of compatriots?

Patriotic without guilt!

Not only did he want to publicize, but he also bought a few more copies of these newspapers and framed them properly.

After decades or hundreds of years, these things are taken out again, that is capital, capital that is more useful than money.

Even in the future, if you become a celebrity who spreads history, maybe you can leave a ancestral instruction, so that those unfilial children and grandchildren will open a [Chen Ledao Museum] for themselves in the future, so that future generations can admire their great deeds.

If Brother Xun could write an exclusive novel for himself, it would be really miserable for Ba Shi! !

I have to keep an autobiography, so that the unfilial children and grandchildren can make it into a film and television work, such as "Shanghai Beach" or "Legend of Chen Ledao".

You can let people like Zun Long, Fa Ge, Hua Ge, and Wei Ge play you, or lower your requirements. People like Xiao Ming, Hu Ge, Yan Kuan, and Jin Dong are not bad.

Well, find the ugliest one to play Chang Qing.

In this way, in the future, those netizens surnamed Chen on the Internet may have to select some clips of his videos and say that he is awesome! !

This is really beautiful to think about.

Chen Ledao stirred his coffee and read the newspaper with a faint smile on his lips.

He became more and more determined to buy the film company.

I don't know what's going on with Yanyun recently, why hasn't the acquisition of the film company been agreed yet?
"Henry, you have become famous again recently."

When Chen Ledao was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from beside him.

Tom stood behind him at some point, stretching his neck, looking at the newspaper in his hand.

Tom said that Chen Ledao became famous, obviously because of the reports in the newspapers.

Chen Ledao put down the newspaper, smiled, and said, "You should say that I offended you again."

"Hahaha, Henry, it seems that you have a very clear understanding of yourself.

"You don't know, my friends have asked me about you countless times, asking me if you are really as difficult to get along with as the rumors say.

"I can see that they are all in awe of you."

Nonsense, a person who is famous for teaching the Japanese, even shot and killed people, can such a person not be awe-inspiring.

Chen Ledao smiled: "Then you should tell them that I am actually a very kind, friendly, and upright person."

The two chatted for a while, ordered a meal, and then chatted about business while waiting for the meal.

"Tom, I need one thousand M1921 submachine guns and matching M1911 pistols. I also need twenty sniper rifles and twenty light machine guns." Chen Ledao said bluntly.

"."

Tom looked at Chen Ledao with a slightly strange look in his eyes, and remained silent.

"What's the matter, is there a problem?" Chen Ledao said.

Tom shook his head.

"Of course no problem, my friend has been expanding the channels of those arms companies during this time, they can get any gun you want.

"But, my friend, do you want so many guns to arm an army?"

Tom looked like you were not joking.

"Don't worry about it, as long as you can get these guns."

"Okay then," Tom shrugged, "what kind of sniper rifle do you want?"

Chen Ledao thought for a while and asked, "I heard that a designer named John Garland in Springfield Armory is working on a semi-automatic rifle. Has there been any results yet?"

John Garland, there may not be many people who know this name, but the word "Garland" in this name should be vaguely familiar to many people.

The famous M1 Garand rifle in later generations came from this person.

Chen Ledao knew this person's name, and he also knew about the Garand rifle.

But that was mainly because the US military used Garand rifles on the North Korean battlefield.

As for when the Garand rifle came out, Chen Ledao was not very clear about that time point.

After all, he didn't bring Du Niang over.

here we go again!here we go again! !

Tom yelled in his heart, his eyes looking at Chen Ledao became weird again.

John Garland is researching semi-automatic rifles. Although he dare not say that no outsiders know about it, it is definitely not known to everyone.

I am an arms dealer myself, and I am also an arms dealer in the United States, so I know John Garland, which is understandable.

But Henry, how did he know this? ? ?
Tom's mind was full of question marks.

It was not once or twice that Chen Ledao said this kind of thing that should be very secret in front of him.

Tom really didn't know where Chen Ledao got the information from.

Tom looked at Chen Ledao, at this moment, Chen Ledao became more and more mysterious in his heart.

He seemed to see a huge and mysterious organization behind Chen Ledao.

I heard that in the history of China, there used to be a spy organization called Jinyiwei who killed people without blinking an eye.
"Henry, how did you know this?" Tom swallowed his cigarette and asked tentatively.

Chen Ledao didn't know that because of his own problems, Tom even thought of such things as the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.

But he knew that Tom would probably be his very important collaborator in the future, and it would definitely not hurt to keep a kind of mystery in front of Tom.

Therefore, Chen Ledao just pursed his lips, showing a curved arc, and smiled mysteriously at Tom.

"Tom, don't ask me any more, I can't tell you some things." Chen Ledao said.

Chen Ledao felt that he was not lying, and it was really inconvenient to tell Tom about the time travel.

Tom was smart when he heard the words, and he was even more firm in guessing that there was a mysterious organization behind Chen Ledao.

Mysterious organizations often represent danger.

Tom didn't dare to continue asking this question. During his time in Shanghai, he had heard too many mysterious stories and met too many mysterious people.So much so that he felt a sense of awe towards all the mysterious things in the East.

He heard that there are people in Xiangxi, China who can walk with corpses;

He heard that there are people in Yunnan, China who can drive all kinds of insects to control the human body;

He also heard that in Changsha, Hunan Province, there is a mysterious organization called Jiumen, which specializes in robbing tombs for a living, and has many magical abilities, which also confirms the mysterious statement of the Xiangxi corpse hunters.

this is too scary!

Thinking about it!
Could it be that Henry also came from such an organization?
Tom didn't dare to think about it. He didn't know that the legend of the Nine Gates was actually a tomb robbery story that Chen Ledao told Zhang Xiaojun and Chen Xiaojun when he was bored, but it was spread out somehow, and it spread more and more widely.

Tom just wanted to get back to the original topic quickly.

"Okay then, but you may have to be disappointed."

Tom took a sip of his coffee to suppress his shock, and then went on:

"The rifle that John Garland researched has not been successful, so there is no place to buy it."

"Is that so?" Chen Ledao nodded, not disappointed.

"Then use Springfield sniper rifles, twenty of them." Chen Ledao said.

"No problem," Tom nodded. "Light machine gun? Which one do you want?"

"There are also twenty ZB26 light machine guns made in the Czech Republic."

"ZB26, yes, although it is not a product of the American arms company, but it can be obtained." Tom said confidently.

Although he was busy with the Paramount business in Shanghai during this period, he also did not let go of the munitions business. The United States was in an economic crisis, and some unemployed people were helping him with errands.

"Well, let me see, one thousand M1921 submachine guns and matching M1911 pistols, and another twenty Springfield sniper rifles, twenty ZB26 light machine guns, and matching bullets. Well, let me do the math. How much is it?"

Tom pondered for a while, tilted his head, and calculated in his mind, his head was about to crash, and he couldn't figure out a specific number.

"Forget it, you prepare 50 oceans first, and it's best to convert it into US dollars, which is 20 US dollars. The final price should not be much different from this amount."

"."

50 oceans.
Chen Ledao forgot to drink the coffee brought to his mouth.

"What's the matter, is there a problem?" Seeing that Chen Ledao was silent, Tom asked.

Chen Ledao put down his cup, sat upright, and looked at Tom seriously.

"Tom, are we friends?"

Seeing Chen Le's serious look, Tom was stunned for a moment, and then said equally seriously:
"If we don't talk about money, then we are best friends!"

Tom said emphatically.

"."

Chen Ledao looked at him speechlessly, this guy seems to have become cunning recently.

"Tom, $20, tell me, isn't that too expensive?"

Tom nodded, "It's a bit expensive."

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Ledao to speak, he hurriedly said again.

"But, Henry, you know, I didn't make a dollar out of it.

"We are going to cooperate to open an arms company, and I will not use arms to make money from you.

"Actually, the US$20 I mentioned is not the final figure. It is only the approximate cost of purchasing the arms and does not include shipping costs. So the final figure may be larger."

"."

50 oceans, which already made Chen Ledao feel a little bit of liver pain, now tell him it may be even bigger.
It's not that Chen Ledao can't afford 50 oceans, the property left to him by his former father is still lying in the bank, the DuPont money he robbed back then is still there, and the money from the chamber of commerce hacked back is also gone use.

In addition to Ye Weiyang's earnings during this period, it still adds up to a lot.

Ye Weiyang is not only a dance hall, it also has a casino inside, which brings in money very quickly.

Akun's intelligence business is also in full swing.

Although it is not the kind of information that is worth tens of thousands of gold, the information between men and women is still very interesting.

Especially those rich people, in order to prevent the concubine at home from cuckolding themselves, but they are as ignorant as a fool, they are very willing to pay that little money.

In particular, Wei Zhengyun is still a business genius, and he and Akun have created a monthly, seasonal and yearly subscription business, which has made the club a lot of money.

Finally, there is the shooting club. Although it has been open for a short time, it is really making money every day.

This world is not peaceful, and those rich second generations will not mind that they have beautiful marksmanship.

So Chen Ledao really has 50 oceans.

This amount of money is not too much for a real rich person.

For example, the Zhang family, they talk with 500 million at every turn.

The 50 ocean that Sheng Qi shared back then was only a small part of the Sheng family's property, and it was used for their daily expenses.

The bulk of the Sheng family property is in the Sheng family foundation.

Just asking Chen Ledao to pay so much money at once really made him a little distressed.

Chen Ledao frowned, thinking in his heart, after a while, he didn't know what to think, and his brows suddenly relaxed.

"Okay, 50 is 50, no problem, the money will be given to you soon, and you can arrange for me to get the gun as soon as possible." Chen Ledao said.

Ye Weiyang's guns at the beginning were only enough to equip more than 300 people, but now there are 800 people on the bright side, more than half of them use shell guns, and some even don't have guns at all.

It took a lot of effort to train people out, and it would be useful if they were not equipped with equipment.

And those guns of all kinds also hinder Ye Weiyang's image.It's better to have a clean one.

Chen Ledao admits that in this regard, he himself still has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder.

What's more, after Ye Weiyang's 800 people are fully equipped, who will not give him three points of face in Shanghai Bund?
