Republic of China 1927

Chapter 35 Arms Trading

() "Please sit inside." Marcos tried his best to hide his excitement and let Du Yan into the living room.I have been in China for nearly a year, and I have done a few small arms business orders (through brokers), but this is the first time that a customer has come to buy on their own initiative.

"My name is Marcos, I don't know what this gentleman's name is?" After the two sat down as guest and host, Marcos may realize that he was too enthusiastic just now, so he asked back to normal.

"My surname is Du, and I have already told you about my intentions." Du Yan said straight to the point: "Mr. Marcos has nothing to say."

"Not busy, not busy, let's have a cup of coffee and talk slowly!" Marcos hurriedly evaded, his performance was a bit too much just now, and it will definitely suffer if he starts talking about business now.

"You should tell me what kind of goods your foreign firm has!" Du Yan was sure of him, and said pressingly, and it could be seen that Marcos was eager to make this deal.

"This, this..." Marcos said with a troubled face, "Whatever you need, just tell me." Obviously he didn't want to throw the cards to Du Yan all at once.

"Boss, your coffee is ready." Just as the two were arguing, a tall, thin and pretty Chinese girl came over with a tray.

"Just put it on the table." Marcos gave the Chinese girl an ambiguous look and ordered. This girl was hired by someone else, except that she is not enough to let go, everything is good, and her hands and feet are quite dexterous.

The girl backed out slowly, and before she left, she didn't forget to take a look at Du Yan, wondering why this stingy boss was so generous today, and brought out all the Brazilian coffee that she was reluctant to drink on weekdays.

Drinking good Brazilian coffee, the two of them chatted with each other, ranging from the international situation to the details of life in China.

"Mr. Du, it's a great honor to meet you. I have gained the most from this year in China." After talking in detail, Marcos' mood improved a lot, and he said with a smile: "Just tell me what you want, the price will be higher." I will take good care of you!"

"Since Mr. Marcos is so polite, I won't hide it." Seeing that it was getting late and it was time to talk about serious business, Du Yan took out a piece of paper from his coat pocket and handed it over.This purchase list he drew up based on the memories of his previous life and the needs of the army, he was not sure whether the other party could get so many new items.

"It seems that Mr. Du has already prepared!" Marcos took the paper and said without looking at it: "Don't worry, I guarantee that you will return home satisfied!"

"That's right! Mr. Marcos, wait until you read it." Du Yan said with a faint smile. There are a few of the latest products in it, and he is not sure whether he can buy them.

"Such a large quantity!" Without looking at the models of the guns and weapons in front, Marcos was taken aback by looking at the quantity at the back, and then became ecstatic.

"1898 Mauser 1898 rifles, each with [-] rounds of bullets." The first item on the list is the rifle, which is also one of the most classic rifles in the history of firearms. The German army began to equip them in [-] and served until World War II. Finish.

This first item made Marcos a little embarrassed. There is really no such a large quantity, and there are only less than [-] in the warehouse in Qingdao.

"One hundred Mauser 1898k rifles must be equipped with a six-fold optical sight, and each has five hundred rounds of bullets!" The Mauser 1898k rifle is an improved version of the Mauser 1898 rifle, which was newly improved by Mauser in 1924 Yes, it is much shorter than the Mauser 1898 rifle. Du Yan bought it for use as a sniper rifle.

Marcos was completely dumbfounded when he saw the second item. He had done a lot of homework on arms when he came here. This Mauser 1898k rifle has not yet been produced in Germany. It seems that the Mauser factory in Spain only produces it.

"One hundred Mauser shell guns, each with two hundred rounds of bullets!" box gun.The pistol has the advantages of high power, reliable action, and convenient use, and is widely spread in many countries in the world.

Even so, it cannot conceal the fact that this pistol is the failure of the Mauser Brothers. Due to the high price of the pistol, the size of the pistol used by the European army is too large, and it is difficult to control the jumping of the muzzle as a submachine gun until 1939. Until the Mauser factory stopped producing box guns, no country in the world has adopted shell guns as standard weapons for the army.It's really a dilemma.

There is no problem for Marcos to solve this item. His inventory in Qingdao warehouse is enough. There is no market for this item in Europe. In China, it is the most sought-after item. He has done several deals before This gun is inside.

"Fifty mp-18 submachine guns, each with 18 rounds of bullets!" The mp-20 submachine gun is the Bergman submachine gun. It is the first submachine gun to be installed on a large scale. It began to appear in China after the war, and soon became the standard equipment of the warlord guards.Yan Laoxi's arsenal began to imitate on a large scale in the late [-]s, and even installed it at the squad level.

"The fifth item is fifty zb26 light machine guns, each with a thousand rounds of bullets!" The zb26 light machine gun is the famous Czech light machine gun, and it is also the standard weapon of the squadron of World War II. There are 274 pieces of equipment for each elite division. The Brno State Arsenal in the Czech Republic began mass production in 1926, and it has already begun to appear in some squadrons.

"How does this guy know so well!" Marcos's heart tightened. Last time, he just bought [-] guns from a friend in the Czech Republic (also an arms dealer). on.

"The sixth item is twelve mg08 Maxim heavy machine guns, each with 08 rounds of ammunition." The mg[-] Maxim heavy machine gun was a major killer in World War I. On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, [-] British soldiers Falling under its guns, the Treaty of Versailles listed it as a heavy weapon that prohibited Germany from developing and producing it. However, after World War I, German arsenals produced it in Sweden and other countries through overseas cooperation.

"The seventh item is six Stokes-style 81mm mortars, each with 75 rounds of shells!" This item was proposed by Du Yan after careful consideration. As a weapon for battalion-level fire support, it is so light that a single soldier can It is more than enough for the current task of the mobile detachment.Originally, he wanted to get a few 20 mountain cannons, but after thinking about it, he gave up. It was too public, and it might not end well if it spread.There are more than 20 people in the Zhilu coalition army, more than [-] armies, and many divisions do not have a single gun.

"Eighth Item Five Wireless Telegraphs"

…………

It was full of eloquence, and Du Yan explained to Max in Chinese mixed with German. It took him half an hour to figure it out one by one.

"What's the matter, is there any question for Mr. Marcos?" Marcos Du Yan, who looked at the cloudy and uncertain, said lightly: "Make a price!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Du, I can't satisfy all your requirements for the time being." After thinking about it, Max said truthfully: "Especially the mortar you want, I'm afraid I can't make an order for a while, but the rest is fine."

"I can give you time, but it can't exceed two months at most!" Du Yan said generously. Originally, he didn't plan to buy everything in one go.

"There should be no problem in two months!" Marcos said happily: "Mr. Du bought so many firearms at once, are you afraid they are from the military?"

"That's not what you should ask!" Du Yan said coldly, "Make an offer!"

"Okay, I was talking too much." Marcos quickly apologized, and quickly listed the prices of various firearms and equipment on the paper, but after the list was finished, he felt that there was a problem and crossed out and marked again.

"At this price, I'll give you the telegraph and other miscellaneous items for free!" Marcos pretended to be generous and handed the note to Du Yan.

"Based on this price, we can't continue the negotiation!" Du Yan just glanced at it and said lightly: "There are at least a dozen foreign firms in this city, and there are quite a few people who are interested in my list."

"This price is already very favorable. If it is less, I will lose money." Marcos said with a frown. In fact, his quotation was almost three or four times the ex-factory price.

"Huh! Mr. Marcos, if you don't say anything else, how dare you sell me this Mauser 1898 for 120 oceans." Du Yan said with a sneer, "The [-]-type rifle of the Taiping combination only sells for [-] oceans!"

"How do Japanese products compare with our German products!" Marcos said plausibly as if he had caught something.

"Don't talk about these nonsense, the German weapons are really good, so why did they lose the European war?" Du Yan deliberately hit Marcos and said, there is a lot of controversy about whether the 1898th type or the Mauser [-] is better. I can't tell the difference for a while.

"Mr. Nadu, make a price!" Marcos said with a blushing face, asking for a price and paying back the money on the spot, which is a common thing in the business world.

"Mauser 1898k is at your price, and the rest must be at my price!" Du Yan took the slip of paper that Marcos had scratched and quickly wrote on it, almost cutting the price of Marcos by nearly half.For example, the Maxine heavy machine gun dropped from the original 1898 to 120, the Mauser 75 dropped from [-] to [-], and the Bergman submachine gun dropped from [-] to [-], and the corresponding bullet prices also dropped. few.

"I'm afraid I can't at this price..." Marcos said while shaking his head after seeing the revised quotation.

"The price I gave you is very fair, and you can at least double the profit!" Du Yan interrupted Marcos and said confidently: "Besides that, I have one additional condition."

"What conditions?" Marcos was overwhelmed by Du Yan's aura, forgot to bargain any more, and instead cared about the additional conditions.

"I hope you can help me recruit a few German officials from Germany. I want to hire them as military advisors." Du Yan said bluntly. The German Army in this era is still a model for all countries to emulate.

"There is no problem with this, I can help you. I have a few friends in the army who are unemployed at home now." This condition is nothing more than a trivial matter to Marcos. Millions of German troops are limited to less than [-]. It was good officers who were excluded from the Wehrmacht.

"Then it's a deal! If it's in stock, I'll pay the full price. I'll leave a [-]% deposit for you." Du Yan said without rebuttal, and he was quite satisfied with the trip.

"Okay, I'll take you to see the goods now!" Marcos was overjoyed when he heard that. This business can earn at least 10,000+ marks, which is several times more than what he earned in a year.

The holidays are coming, and the gods are shouting for the monthly pass, and we call the brothers Chong to order the recommended pass!This is really important to us!
