Republic of China 1927

() It is May in a blink of an eye. The current situation in China is changing rapidly. The National Revolutionary Army after the cleansing and splitting did not merge as the warlords in the north expected. On the contrary, they used the Northern Expedition again to prove to the world He is the real revolutionary and the only descendant of Zhongshan Qiao.The difference is that the Wuhan side marched northward along the Beijing-Hanzhou line, attacking the remnants of the Zhijun Army and the Fengjun Army entrenched in Henan; the Nanjing side moved northward along the Jinpu Line, attacking the remnants of Sun Chuanfang and the Zhilu Allied Forces entrenched in Jiangbei.

However, the changes in the situation did not affect Du Yan's plan. At least in his memory, it would take nearly a year before Shandong was fully recovered. The National Revolutionary Army, which was full of internal conflicts, was unable to completely complete the Northern Expedition. On the contrary, it suffered a lot of defeats. , It was not until the reorganization was completed a year later that the National Alliance Army of Feng Christ and Yan Laoqi's Jinsui Army resolved the remnants of Sun Chuanfang and the Zhilu Allied Forces entrenched in the two provinces of Zhilu in one fell swoop, and drove Fengjun back outside the pass.

At the end of April, Governor Jiang of Linqu County was successfully elected as the head of the six-county joint defense regiment. At the same time, a mobile detachment nominally affiliated to the Yifang General Regiment was also established in a low-key manner.Same as the previous recruitments, the vacancy of [-] people was quickly filled, and the formation was completed very quickly. With the training outline written by Du Yan and Zhu Yunfu as his right-hand assistant, the training work was on the right track. .

Qingdao in May is obviously more lively than when Du Yan passed by his hometown last time, especially the number of oriental prodigals walking around on the street. It is rumored that Zhang Zongchang has invited the orientals to send troops to Shandong to stop the approaching Northern Expeditionary Army.

"Uncle An, are you sure this is the place we are looking for?" Du Yan, dressed as a businessman on Bismarck Street, pointed to an unremarkable shop and asked Uncle An beside him suspiciously.

"Yes, it can't be wrong." Uncle An said cautiously. After not seeing each other for a few months, the Eldest Young Master faded away from the uneasiness in the travel and dust, and his whole body was filled with the demeanor of a superior.

"Go in and have a look." Du Yan took another look at the signboard of "Dehua Foreign Firm" at the door, which seemed to be newly made, and he didn't know whether it was reliable or not.

"Gentlemen, please come in!" The people inside also saw Du Yan and the others, and hurriedly opened the door to greet them politely: "Although this store has not been open for a long time, it is full of genuine German goods inside!"

"Haha, German products, what I want is German products." Du Yan laughed with a pun, and he wouldn't have searched for so long if it wasn't for buying authentic German products.

"This is a newly arrived sewing machine. It is very popular with customers and has sold several of them."

"This telegraph belongs to Siemens, but it is well-known."

"This phonograph is not bad, but the price is negotiable." A young Chinese man was in charge of the store. Seeing that Du Yan and his party were dressed like big customers, he yelled hard. Obviously, the business here is not so good.

"Is all the goods sold in the store here?" Du Yan looked around, but couldn't find what he wanted, and said casually, "Is there anything else?"

"It's all here, that's all for the time being." The young man's heart turned cold, he dared not find what his lover wanted in the store.

"But our boss has just bought a batch of goods, you just have to wait for two or three days to get what you want." The young man was afraid that the customer would just leave.

"Your boss is here! I want to talk to your boss directly." Du Yan shook his head and said, thinking about his question just now was quite funny.Even in the Republic of China, it was impossible to sell such things as arms clearly.What's more, the United Kingdom has led the arms embargo against China since 1919, and heavy weapons, especially large-caliber artillery, cannot enter at all.

"Then wait a moment, I'll go to the back to see if the boss is free to see you!" The young man hesitated a little and said: "Xiaode, hello to the guests!"

"Okay, I'll wait here." Du Yan grabbed a chair and sat down carelessly.The purpose of his trip to Qingdao is very simple, which is to buy arms.

Although it was said earlier that the mobilized detachment can basically achieve one shot per person, the guns are very different. There are all calibers from 6.5mm to 9.00mm, and there is no shortage of sources from domestic products to Britain, the United States and Germany. Suppressing small groups of bandits can still make a living, but if there is a big war, the others will not be able to bear it, not to mention the logistics.After eliminating the bandits Li Mantang and Wang Baichuan successively, First Young Master Du has a lot of money on hand, and it is very necessary to purchase a batch of firearms to strengthen the strength of the mobile detachment.

Although countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States impose an arms embargo on China in name, they can't help it at all. Even businessmen in their own countries are secretly smuggling weapons to China, let alone countries such as Japan and Germany that have not joined the embargo. .Nowadays, there are countless large and small arms agents in China, and there are no less than fifteen companies in Qingdao alone that are doing this business openly and secretly, among which Taiping Group in Japan, Dennis Matheson in Denmark, and Changqi Matheson in the United States are the most Be active, especially behind the Taiping combination is the consortium of large Japanese consortiums. As long as you can afford the price, the Japanese army can sell you weapons that the Japanese army itself has not prepared.

"Young master, why do we have to buy German products?" After waiting for a while and the young man came out, Uncle An said impatiently: "There are foreign firms in the city, and Germans have been everywhere for more than ten years. After the defeat in the third year of the Republic of China, They all went back, and only a few have come back in the last two or three years."

At this time, the Chinese people, especially the people in Shandong, have no better impression of the Germans than they have of the Japanese themselves.

"I can't explain this to you, but you will understand in the future." Du Yan smiled nonchalantly, and Uncle An spent a lot of time trying to find out about this German firm that is said to be engaged in arms trading.

Du Yan's choice of a German foreign company was not because he had a good impression of Germany in his previous life. On the contrary, in his opinion, these imperialist powers did not have a good thing.The culprit behind the occupation of Jiaozhou Bay and the turmoil to carve up China was Germany, and the culprit behind the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces was also Germany.It's just that after World War I, Germany lost all its privileges in China, so it didn't look so hateful.

The reason for choosing German-style weapons is also a helpless choice. Don't look at the guns made by all nations in China today, but there are still rules to follow in general.The Fengjun and Zhilu coalition forces in the Northeast mainly use Japanese weapons and imitation Japanese weapons, mixed with old Beiyang German weapons and equipment; Japanese weapons; Feng Christ’s National Alliance Army was born out of the Zhili Warlords, and obtained a lot of weapons from the Soviet Union. The Central Yang Army of Chiang Kai-shek in the south mostly used weapons aided by the Soviet Union. Because there are a lot of British and French goods imported from near Annan and Myanmar; the troops under the command of Wuhan Nationalist Government mostly use Hanyang, which can be regarded as German weapons.Generally speaking, in the land of China, the German and Japanese armaments occupy the largest share, and the guns and ammunition produced by the large and small domestic arsenals are mostly 90.00 and [-] calibers. More than [-]% of the weapons used by Du Yan's security team Also these two.

Originally, it is the most cost-effective and convenient to buy Japanese weapons directly. The same grade of weapons made in Japan is at least one-third cheaper than German weapons, not to mention that the so-called German weapons are not made in Germany.It's just that Du Yan bought too many weapons this time, the mobile detachment and Zhu Qigui's battalion needed almost enough for a regiment.There is definitely no problem with this amount at the Taiping Group. I am afraid they can get you even a division in a short time, but as long as you buy weapons from them, it will definitely attract the attention of the Japanese military and secret agencies.Now Du Yan's power is still very weak. Right now, he just wants to hide in the countryside secretly to accumulate strength, and he doesn't want to attract the attention of all parties, especially the Japanese secret service.

"Sir, our boss invites you in." The Chinese boy finally came out, but his face was full of frustration, and he had just been scolded severely by the German boss Max inside.

Du Yan nodded and quickly followed the Chinese guy in. The two of them walked through the back door of the shop, walked through a narrow alley, and came to a small courtyard with a German style.

Marcos, the owner of Dehua Foreign Bank, lives in this small yard, and this yard is also his office, but today he seems to be in a bad mood, especially when looking at the financial statements of the foreign company.Marcos is the son of a wealthy businessman in the Ruhr area, but his family was impoverished during the Ruhr crisis a few years ago, and his father committed suicide because of the humiliation of bankruptcy. In desperation, he could only work for someone else.Since the year before last, the German economy has recovered rapidly, and the situation of the Marcos family has improved a lot, but it is difficult to restore the former splendor in Germany.Last year he sold his family property and came to Qingdao, where his father had been, to develop his business. On the surface, he ran a German-made electrical, electromechanical, and household department store, but in essence he wanted to run an arms business.

However, the business in China is not so easy to do, and arms smuggling is even more difficult. Most of the large businesses in Shandong are robbed by Japanese foreign firms, and most of the small businesses are monopolized by some local brokers. Foreign firms couldn't get in at all, and even ordinary commodities couldn't be sold for a long time. Seeing that his dream of getting rich was shattered, he was very anxious.

"The boss is this gentleman looking for you." The Chinese guy said cautiously, for fear of offending his boss again.

"You go down first." Marcos ordered with a blank face, and then said to Du Yan coldly: "What do you want from me?"

"I heard that your foreign company sells arms, so I just want to buy them." Du Yan said indifferently.

"What, what, what! Army, army, arms!" Marcos thought he heard it wrong, so he stood up suddenly, and after getting confirmation from Du Yan, his face burst into a smile, and he shouted to the outside: " Chunlan, make me two cups of coffee, the best kind!"

Continue to ask for votes from the brothers. It is a matter of the year of the monkey for those of us who rush to the streets. I just hope that the brothers will vote for a few more recommendations, so that I know that there are still many people who like to watch.
