Chapter 181 Material Aid

"Sorry, I apologize for my behavior just now. Please calm down. I am not your enemy. Our enemies are on the west bank of the Nu River."

Smith, who had just been scolded, still gave in. After all, he was the one who swore first and really angered the other party, so he didn't want to cooperate later. He didn't want to stay in this stuffy and hot place any longer.

The Sichuan Army is at least more worthy of investment than the Yu Division, and as the commander said, the strength of this unit cannot be underestimated.

These foreigners are just mean. Like Yu Xiaoqing, the more you kneel down and lick him, the more arrogant he becomes. If you slap him in front of everyone, he will start to respect you.

The law of the jungle is an international practice. Gringos have always been straightforward. They worship the strong. The stronger they are, the more confident they will be. Otherwise, they will only be restrained by others and unable to stand up.

"I accept your apology, but please recognize the current situation. I can accept equal cooperation, but I cannot tolerate others' weakness and arrogance!" Liao Mingyu replied with his head raised.

Smith nodded and began to re-arrange his posture and said cautiously: "Then can we continue to discuss it?"

Liao Mingyu shrugged noncommittally and motioned for him to continue.

"We can provide assistance in terms of weapons and ammunition. I hope you can solve the problem as soon as possible in the next military operation to counterattack the West Bank. Of course, you can ask me if you have any questions or requests." Smith changed his arrogance and spoke more cautiously.

.

The more indifferent Liao Mingyu's attitude is, the less he dares to be unreasonable. In the final analysis, whether the counterattack on Nantianmen can succeed or not depends on them.

Liao Mingyu expressed that he was very satisfied with this attitude. Wouldn't he have been scolded less if he had said this earlier? He was really out of his mind.

"In terms of supplies, our Sichuan Army Corps is close to saturation, but we still need a large amount of ammunition and reserve weapons. Especially ammunition, 100,000 rounds of ammunition per week is no problem, right?"

"This..." Smith felt a pressure. This commander was indeed difficult to deal with.

Without waiting for him to speak, Liao Mingyu continued: "There are not many requirements for beautiful weapons. You can provide 2,000 people first. But I need a large amount of 7.62 caliber bullets, at least 100,000 rounds a week. There are also 60mm and 81mm

Mortar shells, these shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?”

Not asking for much? You must know that what Master Yu got was not even enough to equip a regiment. This made Yu Xiaoqing happy for several days.

Yu Xiaoqing and others looked at Liao Mingyu as if he were a fool. How could a Yankee agree to such a request?

"I can accept this, but I want to know your attack plan. After all, our purpose is the same. We both want to capture Nantianmen and open the Burma Highway as soon as possible."

What is unexpected is that Smith only hesitated for a moment before graciously agreeing. This unexpected result made Tang Ji and others feel as uncomfortable as eating flies.

"I will discuss the specific attack plan with you before launching the operation, but not now." Liao Mingyu said expressionlessly with his hands behind his back:

"As a mid-level officer of the US military, you should know what military secrecy is, right? All I can tell you is that the time for counterattack is coming soon."

Smith thought about this and could only nod helplessly.

"Colonel Smith, you...how could you? Our Yu division also needs these supplies." Yu Xiaoqing was anxious and quickly asked the translator.

"We will discuss your matters later. Don't be too greedy. I have already given you a batch of supplies."

Smith replied coldly. He had a completely different attitude towards Yu Xiaoqing. This obvious differential treatment made many officers of the Yu division extremely angry, but they were unable to do anything about him.

Yu Xiaoqing wanted to say more, but Tang Ji grabbed her arm.

"Forget it Xiao Qing, there is no chance today, don't hit the gun again, let's discuss it with him in the future." Tang Ji whispered, he finally saw it, this Smith is a realist, he can say good things

It doesn’t matter, everything depends on your strength.

"By the way, your US military's 105mm howitzers and 155mm howitzers are famous, so why should we have more than a dozen?" Liao Mingyu continued to speak loudly.

"I'm sorry, Commander, our supplies are all airlifted through the Hump Line. Small-caliber mortars can be provided, but heavy artillery is really unavailable."

As he spoke, Smith asked an accompanying officer to hand over a document: "About all the supplies we can provide are on it. Unless the Burma Highway can be opened, more supplies will be delivered."

"What about fighter jets? We should arrange a few for air support, right?" Liao Mingyu asked while flipping through the pages.

"Well... if you need air support, you have to report it to the Flying Tigers. I don't have direct authority here." Smith touched his nose and said awkwardly. This commander was too difficult to deal with.

"We don't have artillery, and we don't have air support, so we can't even talk about cooperation!" After saying this, Liao Mingyu threw the documents on the table with an unhappy look on his face.

"Haha, I can give you the greatest assistance in terms of individual weapons, as long as you can counterattack the West Bank as soon as possible." Smith said with a dry smile.

Three sentences are inseparable from counterattack. It can be seen that he cares about this issue more than the Chinese military officers sitting here.

"Forget it, you don't have the heavy firepower like I do. Give me some 155-caliber grenades."

"Do you have an M114 howitzer?" Smith was shocked. The US military has just started to install this howitzer this year.

"Don't worry about those, just arrange the shells in place."

"But this shell is not in our logistics list and needs to be re-planned." Smith said it was very difficult.

"Then you can figure it out yourself. The more supplies you have, the greater your chances of counterattack will be. I think you don't want to stay here and accompany us to face Little Japan."

Liao Mingyu seemed to have caught his tail, and threatened him sideways.

"Your Majesty Commander, let's discuss this further."

This scene is really funny, just like a rich man begging the other person to accept his donation, but the person who was originally given the charity is picky about him like a creditor.

Time passed quickly. After most of the day's discussion, Smith was willing to provide 1,200 Garand rifles, 300 Thompson submachine guns, 200 M1 carbines, and 500,000 rounds of various types of ammunition. However, the bullets had to be delivered in batches.

, supplying up to 100,000 rounds per week.

Smith also promised to increase the supply of ammunition in the future. After all, what the Sichuan Army wanted was not guns but ammunition.

In terms of light weapons, there are also 60 mortars, 81 mortars and corresponding artillery shells. These are all things that the Sichuan Army needs. Although they are not many, they are better than nothing.

There is no need for machine guns and the like, they already have their own support fire system, and too much clutter will affect logistics.

With systematic support, Liao Mingyu didn't care much about those second-hand weapons. Apart from ammunition, the most important thing he cared about was the flamethrower, which was a Japanese fortress and a true nemesis.

It's a pity that Smith doesn't have many in his hands, only four or five sets. They have been given to Yu Xiaoqing and other troops, and they can only wait for the later supplies to arrive.

It was almost evening when everything was over. Except for Yu Xiaoqing and others who had always had a dark face, Smith and Liao Mingyu were quite satisfied.

Just like a big bet, Smith has no choice but to regret it. He can only see whether the profits from the Sichuan Legion's next actions are worthy of his investment.
