With Yegorov joining and reaching a consensus with him on the issue of organization, for Li Xiaofeng, it is equivalent to solving a big problem. With the assistance of professionals, he basically doesn't have to worry about military training, military command, etc.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Xiaofeng can cross his legs and be a hand-shaking manager. Although Yegorov is very powerful, he is not omnipotent. For example, the funding issue is not something Yegorov can handle.

It should be said that there is a big problem in funding. Although the tutor has stated that it will allocate financial funds and the central government will reimburse two-thirds of the expenses. However, it must be noted that the Bolshevik finances are very difficult. To deal with the harsh financial environment, to purchase food to deal with the crisis, and to arm the Red Army in large quantities, which one does not cost money?

Anyway, the door of the Ministry of Finance has been squeezed out in recent times. The reason is that the funds are limited, and even the funds approved by the central government are difficult to allocate as scheduled. All departments have to directly send specialists to the Ministry of Finance to collect accounts.

Li Xiaofeng is really not interested in doing the money when he goes to the department to ask for money, and he also knows how much money he can't afford. With more people asking for money, the Ministry of Finance will not be able to meet everyone's requirements, and at most it is only a few oats and two oats. The funds for these three oats and two oats are simply a drop in the bucket for establishing a border police force. Instead of asking others to waste time and energy and work hard, it is better to rely on yourself.

In fact, from the beginning, Li Xiaofeng was ready to be self-reliant, and even the tutor said that this is what he meant. The reason why he asked Li Xiaofeng to raise one-third of the expenses by himself was very clear - boy, it was not that I didn’t help you, nor did I not give you money. In fact, even if I approved the note, the Ministry of Finance would not have money. So, if you really want to build such an army, then pay it out of your own pocket and find a way to reimburse it in the future!

Li Xiaofeng was naturally unhappy with this result. But there was no way. A clever woman could cook without rice. The central government really had no money. If she didn't rely on herself, she would not be able to do anything. Without new armed forces, she would not be able to ensure her interests in Finland. Finland is too important to a certain immortal, so she could only grit her teeth and admit it.

So does Li Xiaofeng have the money to build an armed force? It should be said that there is no! Because there is a Red Eagle Group under his name to support him. Over the past year, the Red Eagle Group has already made him anxious. Moreover, the newly built enterprises of this brother Taiwan have not made any profits. They are all in the construction period and are still waiting for new investment!

To be honest, if it weren't for stealing grain from the strategic reserve warehouse, I'd made a lot of money. If it weren't for the Nobel family and the Popov family, a certain immortal would have gone bankrupt long ago. Now, in addition to the Red Eagle regiment, a new border police force was built. To be honest, Li Xiaofeng had the intention to steal the bank.

A penny stumped the hero. For the sake of ideals and a better life in the future, Li Xiaofeng had to sacrifice his life. If he could rob the bank, he would have done it long ago. Unfortunately, the Russian banking and financial industry had been snatched by the Bolsheviks, and it would not cost much money to grab it. As for foreign banks, you are not polite, except for a few banks, such as the US and the Japanese, making a fortune. Others, Britain, France, Germany, Austro-Hungary, are on the verge of debt and bankruptcy, and there is really no money.

Since the road to robbery of banks is not easy, a certain immortal does not have the ability to turn stones into gold and sprinkle beans into soldiers, he can only go to black on a dark road. In addition, how can money be quickly in this world? Smuggling arms and drug trafficking can definitely be among the top ones.

Li Xiaofeng is more interested in being an arms dealer and has long-term plans for this aspect. But at present, this path cannot be understood. The little arms that northern industry can produce can meet the needs of the border police force, so what to talk about export exchange?

And even if it can be sold, to whom? Whether it is the SKS45 or the PK machine gun, they are typical Russian weapons. They cannot be used if they buy them in Britain, France, the United States, Germany and the Austrians. They can't bear to export and produce patents, and some people can't bear to sell them. We can't sell weapons to the counter-revolutionaries and the White Army in China, right? Then even if we can make money, the mentor will probably chase a fairy with a kitchen knife and kill a few streets.

So there is definitely no chance to sell weapons. After thinking about it, Li Xiaofeng could only reluctantly do the drug business. That's right, comrades, you are not wrong. It's really doing the drug business, not drug trafficking!

Why do I say that? Because in this era, a lot of addictive narcotics regulated by later generations can be legally sold. For example, heroin, when the German Bayer Group invented this thing, it was the sign that it would not be addictive. It believed that this thing could replace morphine and treat morphine addiction, and was once used to relieve cough in children (a trick!). However, what is more embarrassing is that heroin directly turned into morphine after being converted into liver, which made Bayer very embarrassed at that time.

Anyway, drug trafficking in this era can hold a legal protective umbrella. For example, methamphetamine (meth) was once considered a good medicine that can improve work ability and prevent fatigue. During World War II, the bearded head of state used this thing as a stimulant, and pilots and truck drivers also used this thing to refresh themselves.

This was in the early 20th century when methamphetamine was just invented in the 1940s. I am afraid that there was no understanding of the harm to it. Under this circumstance, both sides in the First World War were probably happy to see a good medicine that could make the soldiers energetic and full of fighting spirit.

Umbrella is doing this work. Although the unpleasantness and disputes with Henry Eugen have caused the factory to waste a lot of valuable time. However, compared with the other two drugs that can truly save people (streptomycin, BCG), the production process and cost of methamphetamine are simply not worth mentioning.

There are almost no technical requirements for the production of methamphetamines. As long as there is a little chemical knowledge, as long as there is a field, and sufficient raw materials, anyone can make it (comrades who have watched "The Deadly Bad" must have an impression).

For drug dealers in later generations, the real problem that troubles them was the raw materials and hidden places, and for Umbrella in this era, this was not a problem. If it weren't for the production process to be standardized, it would take time for production technicians to conduct relevant training and apply for related patents. A certain immortal's drug trafficking industry had already opened, but in fact he had even found customers, and the Germans were the first user.

"Mr. Akimovich, how effective is the methamphetamine?" Li Xiaofeng asked with a smile.

A month ago, in order to express his joy of signing a Brest contract with Russia and Germany, a fairy generously gave a batch of methamphetamines to the Germans for trial. Now, a month has passed, and it is time to officially start this business.

Akimovich was called in a hurry by someone. He thought something extraordinary had happened, but who would have thought that someone was just asking a question about an inconspicuous little pill. This made him a little angry.

"It's OK." Akimovich replied coldly.

Li Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Is it okay?"

Akimovich was very disliked by someone's exaggerated expression, but he did not dare to explode the thorns, so he could only answer in a muffled voice: "For the brave and warlike soldiers of our country, they can win this war without the assistance of medicine!"

Li Xiaofeng nodded silently and continued to ask quietly: "In other words, your country does not need methamphetamine?"

Akimovich nodded proudly and said confidently: "That's natural!"

The expression on Li Xiaofeng's face seemed a little entangled. He murmured to himself: "It's bad now. The methamphetamine that has been produced may be..."

Although Akimovich said so confidently and decisively, in fact, he attached great importance to methamphetamine in his heart. That's right. German soldiers are indeed good in combat, but after nearly four years of fierce battle, it would be nonsense to say that they are still vigorous in fighting spirit. In fact, the war-weariness has spread among the armies of various countries (excluding the Americans and the Japanese).

In the German army, especially in the front-line trenches, pessimism and war-weariness constantly weaken the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops. Although the Prussian tradition made the German army's willpower slightly higher than the British and French coalition forces of the same period, it was also limited. It was only a level of fifty steps and a hundred steps.

At this time, if there is a way to significantly improve the morale and mental outlook of the troops and have the possibility of general promotion, the German government will pay the bill without hesitation. In fact, Akimovich knew that the trial of methamphetamine on the front line was very successful, which greatly improved the troops' resistance to fatigue and mental outlook. The troops strongly demanded that they quickly meet the current urgent needs.

Once you understand these, everyone will understand why Akimovich pretended to be indifferent just now. The reason is naturally that he also knew that a certain immortal was very difficult to deal with. That guy was not good at soft and hard, and was strong, so he was more careful when doing business with him and praised the effect of the methacrylamide. Isn’t that equivalent to handing the knife to the other party and letting the other party bleed at will?

Akimovich would definitely not do such a stupid thing, so the best way is to belittle the efficacy of methamphetamine and make the other party think that it is optional to the German army, so that it is easy to bargain!

It should be said that Li Xiaofeng's mutter just now made Akimovich feel the pleasure of succeeding his trick. It is obvious that the other party has said he has gone. If the other party really has accumulated a large amount of methamphetamine, then he can get it at an extremely low price.

When Akimovich thought of this, he was a little excited. If he could make this deal and cheat someone once, the shame of failure in the past would be completely washed away, and this would be a great achievement!

Akimovich was excited at that time. If it weren't for the remaining sanity that told him that he had to calm down, this guy would probably be impatient.

"What, Mr. Andre, has Umbrella built up a lot of methamphetamines?" Akimovich tried hard to calm down, but his shaking calves revealed that this guy was very nervous.

Li Xiaofeng replied calmly: "The backlog is not enough, but Umbrella is making full use of methamphetamine production. We are investing globally and preparing to promote this epoch-making drug to the whole world."

"Go and go and cheat!" Akimovich thought he had seen through the disguise of a certain immortal, and scoffed at someone's calmness, "Is that right? But why did I hear that your company's sales seem to be not very good?"

Li Xiaofeng still called out indifferently: "It's new medicine! It always needs a promotion process, but we are full of confidence in methamphetamine!"

Akimovich felt that someone was hypocritical, but he was always so annoyed that he would not get into the topic. He decided to put some pressure on a certain immortal to force a certain immortal to get into the topic. "In this case, then I wish Umbrella can open up sales as soon as possible... Do you have anything else? If not, please allow me to say goodbye first. The embassy still has a lot of work waiting for me!"

When Akimovich said this, he smiled even more like a fox. He felt that Li Xiaofeng would definitely give in. He would definitely keep him, and he would definitely get to the point. He could finally fight a turnaround.

Unfortunately, he was too naive and underestimated the IQ of a certain immortal. Li Xiaofeng had no intention of keeping him at all, nor did he mean to get to the point. He shook hands with him enthusiastically and wished him a good journey.

Akimovich was completely stunned. His single-threaded mind could not understand why? Why did Li Xiaofeng not try to keep him? This makes no sense!

For a moment, the guy was stunned on the spot.

At this time, the initiative had basically fallen into Li Xiaofeng's hands. He asked unexpectedly: "What's wrong? Don't you still have work to deal with?"

Akimovich was a little embarrassed. How could he want to leave? But he immediately swallowed up what he had said, and felt embarrassed. After a moment of entanglement, he tried hard to pretend to be careless and asked: "About methamphetamine, if Umbrella is under too much pressure, our government is interested in helping!"

But now it was Li Xiaofeng's turn to show off. He waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, Mr. Akimovich, we are all old friends. Since your government is not interested in methamphetamine and has no intention of buying, I will not force it. Doing business, you can't force it to buy, right? I am very clear about your government's difficulties. In order to maintain the friendly relations between the two countries, I am willing to understand the difficulties of your government."

Akimovich wanted to interrupt several times, but he was blocked by a certain immortal. When a certain immortal finished this big passage, he was so angry.

But no matter how angry he is, he still needs to do his job. Akimovich could only bite the bullet and asked: "How to deal with the produced methamphetamine? Or..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xiaofeng interrupted him: "Oh, those methamphetamines are not a problem at all. Your government is not interested. We can completely resell them to third countries! In the war years, drugs that can improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers are still very popular. Yesterday I heard Miss Victoria say that the French government is very interested in this..."

Akimovich's face turned pale. He now realized that from the beginning, he had fallen into the other party's trap. The reason why the other party mentioned this was actually threatening him - you Germans don't want methamphetamine? That's very simple. We sell it to the Allies. I believe that the Allies are willing to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

This was simply a nasty threat. Even honest people like Akimovich thought it was too much to deceive others. He snorted in anger: "Mr. Andre, you seem to be suspected of violating the Brest contract, right?"

Li Xiaofeng looked at him in surprise, "Where does this start? Drugs are humanitarian materials and not war contraband. It has nothing to do with the Brest contract when exporting drugs to any country, right? And Umbrella is a joint venture between Sweden and Finland, and has nothing to do with the Chinese government. Even if the company sells arms, it doesn't hinder the Brest contract, right? Are you wrong?"

Akimovich was so hungry that he didn't spit out a mouthful of blood. According to a certain immortal, Germany had no choice but to use Umbrella's company, but fools could see the relationship between Umbrella and Russia. Damn, this is simply too much!

"Then our government has acquired all the drugs backlogged by Umbrella. Has your company agreed not to sell methamphetamine to the Allies?" Akimovich asked in a muffled voice.

Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly and asked back, "Aren't your government uninterested in this?"

Akimovich was so angry that he didn't even look at someone's hateful face and said in a muffled voice: "In order to maintain the cooperative relationship between our government and your company, our government does not mind solving some troubles for your company within its ability! This explanation, Mr. Andre, you should be satisfied!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled again: "Then I will thank your government for your good intentions first, but I must remind your government that the production patent of methamphetamine belongs to Umbrella. We do not want to see other companies infringe on our company's patents..."

Akimovich's anger was already churning. After obtaining methamphetamine, Germany immediately handed over this "good medicine" to Bayer for research. The intention was naturally obvious. According to the German government's idea, after cracking the formula for methamphetamine, it immediately organized production in China. And now, someone seems to be waiting for them here.

"Are you doubting the sincerity of our government?" Akimovich asked in anger.

Li Xiaofeng smiled indifferently and said slowly: "I am just explaining the facts. Umbrella will spare no effort to protect the production patents of methamphetamine and severely punish those moles who do not respect intellectual property rights... Mr. Akimovich, I think you should understand what I mean?"
