Chapter 162

"I think we should discuss some practical matters!" It was Waldeck who interrupted the two of them singing and singing. Fang Jianxiong seemed calm, but in fact he cursed this old devil in his heart. If I do enough tricks, I will die. Forget it.

Okay, this old fox will definitely not take the bait if you play tricks with him, so why not do something practical?

"Fifty cannons with a caliber of over 300, equipment and vehicles from twenty 150 heavy artillery regiments. Equipment from twenty 105 heavy artillery regiments, 500 120mm heavy mortars, and 500 81mm mortars." Fang Jianxiongxiong opened his mouth.

, the true nature of profiteers was exposed. The Germans were stunned after hearing this, especially Waldeck, why not be so ruthless?

Bob, on the other hand, was very calm, with an expression like I knew you would be like this. He said before the other Germans: "No way, you want so many large-caliber artillery, do you have so many shells? You can make a barrel."

Replacement? For artillery with a caliber above 300, a maximum of 10 pieces will be given. A maximum of 150 heavy artillery can be given to five regiments. A 105 heavy artillery can be given to 10 regiments. 120mm heavy mortars, 100 pieces, and 81mm mortars, 150 pieces.

"

Sure enough, people who are not from my race must have different minds. Other Chinese people think so. Even though this guy named Bob is usually brothers with the commander-in-chief, he is really on the side of the Germans at the critical moment. A good man like Jiang Fangzhen, looking at

Bob also wanted to use his fists, and his eyes were already on fire.

"No, no, no, Bob, you have learned bad things from Pierre. How can you learn to bargain with a profiteer? You are a soldier, a soldier of the German Empire. This is not good! Forget it. For the sake of our brothers

"Come on, I'll give in. I don't want any heavy artillery with a caliber above 300mm. You can give me enough equipment for twenty regiments of two kinds of heavy artillery. Two kinds of mortars, 200 pieces each." Fang Jianxiong rolled up his sleeves and put on a pose.

A posture of dancing with knives.

Bob was very calm, as if this was not the time to talk about brotherhood: "Ten heavy artillery regiments each, and two hundred mortars each." Such a serious conversation was successfully carried out by the two brothers.

Vegetable market.

"Bob, how could you do this? Are we still brothers?"

"Brothers are brothers, and national interests are above all else. I am an imperial soldier, and I will never compromise on issues of principle!"

"In this way, the quantity will be as you said, ten shells for each cannon." Fang Jianxiong was furious!

"Five cardinal numbers!" Bob was unusually calm, staying the same in response to all changes.

"Then a low-interest loan of 50 million gold marks! And help me train 3,000 gunners!" When Fang Jianxiong seemed to give in, Waldeck, who was listening with his heart beating so fast that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage, spoke first: "Deal

!That’s it!”

"Bob, today I'm going to show my dignity to the Governor, and I won't argue with you, a miser. In this way, as we just agreed. The transaction will be completed within two months, and I will give you the drawings of the chariot first. After all are delivered, I will give you

Relevant tactical data of Danmaku Xu Jin.”

A negotiation that seemed thrilling to other Germans ended like this. Bob, who usually didn't look like a profiteer, shined, severely damaging the ambitions of the Chinese. Before that, including Kazakhstan,

The other Germans, including Hausen, really don't know how to face this young Chinese army leader who was respected before but now disgusted. This guy's face just now was so ugly! He was like a dish.

A small trader in the market who is arguing with others about a mark.

An agreement was reached, and the Germans left with satisfaction. Fang Jianxiong was also very satisfied with the result. It was originally a deceptive deal, and Fang Jianxiong was looking forward to the consequences of letting the Germans use tanks first. In case the Germans were accidentally wiped out by the British and French

Well, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Russia will be the first to be unlucky when the time comes, and it’s estimated that most likely the Americans will intervene in advance.

"Hey, a man is poor but his ambition is short, and a horse is skinny and long-haired! I sold this trick for such a small benefit. I feel so sad!" After Marshal Fang saw the Germans off, he looked at the Germans leaving and felt very sad! He thought like this

It will be difficult to kill Kaizi in the future!

Jiang Fangzhen immediately turned his head away, indicating that he did not recognize this person. This is twenty heavy artillery regiments. Hundreds of mortars, what else do you want? Think carefully about the kind of person who worried about gains and losses when the price was originally proposed.

My mentality was too torturous. I was worried that the Germans would get angry and leave and miss the deal. I also hoped that the Germans would be fools and agree to the deal.

Cai E looked at Fang Jianxiong with a look that made me speechless. He turned around and left silently. He was thinking about a question in his mind. We just need to lead troops to fight. Fang Jianxiong's young shoulders

It carries too many things that ordinary soldiers can't imagine. It's like carrying two mountains, one side is military construction, the other side is industrial construction. There are even other things to carry, it is really difficult for him, you know

He is only 24 years old. In comparison, what have I done for this country? I am so ashamed that I can only bow my head and leave.

"Bob, I didn't expect you to have a talent for business!" Ludendorff said to Bob next to him while sitting in the car.

"They were all taught by the boss. We also have a joint venture in Germany, a pharmaceutical group. All the money earned by the boss from selling drugs over the years has been turned into military equipment. Frankly speaking, apart from being greedy for money, I learned from him

I can't find any flaws in quality. Even if he is greedy for money, he is doing it for his motherland! Thinking of this, I feel deeply ashamed of the contest I just had with him. But I don't regret it, I did it for the benefit of the German Empire!"

When Bob spoke, he even showed a painful expression. Is that the torment between friendship and national interests? Ludendorff judged it this way.

"Bob, thank you for what you have done for the German Empire!" Ludendorff said in a solemn and sincere tone. As a talented commander, Ludendorff knew exactly what he got from Fang Jianxiong. According to his price, this was a gift.

A hugely profitable transaction.

In fact, Fang Jianxiong also feels that he has made a profit. In fact, he can order something else, but the timing is not easy to grasp. If he trades too early, he is afraid of leaking secrets. If he trades too late, it will be inconvenient for him to return to China. Weapons and equipment, etc.

There are quite a lot of Germans, and some of them are in stock. The war will not affect the trade.

When both China and Germany were happy, one person was furious. This person was Stilwell, because he was under house arrest. Before the exercise, he was locked in a yard and could only use a pair of binoculars to observe the battlefield. The problem was that this yard was very immoral.

, he could see very few details, and could only see the barrage slowly advancing.

Even so, Stilwell was already going crazy with anxiety. As a soldier, he knew very well what would happen when the barrage Xu Jin suddenly burst out on the battlefield. And this tactic was definitely not that simple an artillery tactic, otherwise

Other countries have already mastered it. The U.S. Army has only a few hundred thousand people in total, and its equipment is not very good. However, the United States has sufficient industrial capabilities. Once these capabilities are activated, they will definitely be able to meet the needs of the army.

Stilwell took it for granted. The United States was not humiliated in the slightest during World War I. How else would the British still bully the Americans after the war? As far as the United States' military industrial capabilities are concerned, it only produced 400,000 rifles per year in 1918. You also

Are you embarrassed to say that you have the best industrial capabilities in the world? It is precisely because of the baptism of World War I that the American military industry has made great progress.

After Stilwell was released, Fang Jianxiong had already left. After inquiring, he learned that Marshal Fang had begun another inspection. The first stop of the special train was Tai'an, where a Class A division was stationed. The equipment was produced by Wuhu and had been completed.

The second stop was Xuzhou. Three Class A divisions were stationed in Xuzhou with a very clear purpose: to reinforce Jinan at any time and prevent Japanese troops from landing at Lianyungang.

After the Americans handed over the first batch of goods, the equipment problem of the 24 Class A divisions was solved, and they began to comprehensively replace 7mm rifles, light machine guns, and submachine guns. Submachine guns could not be equipped with all, and could only be equipped with one per squad, following the example of Germany in World War II.

Let's put it this way, in this era, the weapons of Fang Jianxiong's 24 Class A division teams are so powerful that they can be counted in the world.

The replacement of other troops has to wait for the next batch of American goods. This is a very helpless thing, but there is no way. The country is too backward and there are too many places to catch up. Fortunately, all the artillery can be equipped, and this must be thanked.

The generosity of the Germans. Otherwise, the output of Wuhu and Hanyang would be really poor.

After Xuzhou, Fang Jianxiong transferred to Shanghai. The Wusongkou Fortress has been completely completed. Thirty large-caliber artillery pieces and more than a hundred artillery pieces of various calibers are facing the sea. Even if the Japanese combined fleet does not come, it will definitely not be a favor if it comes.

The Nanjing Military Region has two Type A divisions, ten Type B divisions, and more than 100 regiments of local security forces. Even if the Japanese land, they can last for a month or two. Not to mention that Japan may not have a full-scale attack on China.

The courage of war, the Japanese are still thinking clearly.

After inspecting Wusongkou, Fang Jianxiong went to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which specializes in the production of various artillery shells. The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has not been idle in the past two years, and the production tasks are full every day. The produced shells are shipped to Xuzhou, Shandong, Northeast China, etc.

Fang Jianxiong has been preparing crazily for that battle. He must win that battle, otherwise it will be difficult for China to stand up.

After Shanghai, we took a boat along the river and inspected all the way. All the military industrial enterprises were producing like crazy. Even the broken manufacturing bureau in Anqing, after some rectification, replaced it with new machinery and equipment and was also producing rifle bullets. In fact, production

Bullets are a very troublesome thing, even more difficult than producing guns. Some processes are extremely complicated and must be done manually. However, China lacks everything except people. The layout of the entire military industry enterprises along the Yangtze River has changed over the past year or so.

Shanghai produces artillery shells, Nanjing and Anqing produce bullets, and Wuhu and Wuhan produce guns.

With the steel on the saddle, life was much easier. Even so, there were still a lot of raw materials to be imported. Almost every day, freighters came in from Wusongkou and went up the river. It was a hot 1914!
