Zhang Tinglan initially talked with Fred about the development of the North Market. He had not yet thought of how to bring the topic to the arms issue, but now Fred actually brought it up. Zhang Tinglan was so perceptive that he immediately guessed what happened to Fred.
Red had already taken action against Russian arms.
If you think about it, how corrupt Russia is now. It is rotten from top to bottom. How could Fred, who has control of the power to purchase arms and supplies, give up this piece of fat? When he asked this question, he probably wanted to ask Zhang Zuolin.
Selling arms. Zhang Tinglan secretly cursed himself as a fool. If he had thought of this in the first place, why bother to go to the North Market? He could just resell the arms!
However, Zhang Tinglan thought again. In fact, these two things are complementary to each other. Without a fixed market, how can we resell military supplies in large quantities? It is too inefficient to rely on Fred's method of finding a home.
.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan was very happy. She made the right choice to cooperate with Fred. The unscrupulous Jewish banker and the bold bandit leader were a perfect combination, and they also had an excellent opportunity for a battle.
, it’s difficult even if you don’t want to make a fortune.
Zhang Tinglan suddenly interrupted: "Mr. Fred, what weapon do you want to sell? Is it a rifle, a machine gun, or a cannon! And what model is it?"
"The rifle, the brand new Mosin Nagan rifle, is what you call water-linked rifles, and there are bullets. I think as a local general, Commander Zhang must be interested in these weapons!"
Fred was right. Zhang Zuolin's eyes were already gleaming at this time. The two things that moved Zhang Zuolin the most were money and guns. Now that the problem of money has been solved, it would be too much if the problem of guns were solved again.
So cool.
Zhang Tinglan secretly tapped the excited Lao Zhang with her toes, and then said to Fred: "If my guess is correct, these rifles should be for Russian soldiers. They are currently fighting the Germans on the battlefield in Eastern Europe."
Try your best, there are many soldiers who don’t have rifles, and they can only pick up the weapons of their dead comrades. But you are stealing and selling their arms here, isn’t it a bit unethical?”
"This is not purchased by the Russian government, it is just purchased by an arms dealer friend. I can guarantee that it will be of high quality and low price!"
"Mr. Fred, do you think I will believe it?"
Fred shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Zhang, although you are very smart, you'd better not interfere in other people's normal business, otherwise there will be problems with our loan agreement!"
Zhang Tinglan was not frightened at all, but the mocking smile on his face became even stronger, "Mr. Fred, in my impression, Jewish bankers are bold people. As long as they have enough profits, they dare to do anything."
, but after seeing your work, my opinion of Jewish bankers has dropped a lot!"
Fred frowned and said in a low voice: "Zhang, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't use such crude methods to provoke generals. I have also read Sun Tzu's Art of War!"
"Haha, Mr. Fred, if my guess is correct, the way you make money now is to do some tricks on the arms and supplies imported from Russia, intercept some of the weapons, and then sell them to customers in China to make a profit!"
Fred smiled and said: "Your guess may be right, but I won't admit it, and you can't find any evidence, and the Russian side won't meddle in these nosy matters!"
"Mr. Fred, what I want to say is that you are too timid and your courage is too small. Leave three or five guns today and a few boxes of bullets tomorrow. It is too slow to make money like this! As long as we both cooperate
Get up, we can keep all the guns and ammunition in the truckload, and we will be responsible for the sales, and you can just count the money!"
Fred was finally tempted. Why didn't he want to earn more? But in China, he was still an outsider after all. It was too difficult to find a suitable partner, so he delayed it. Now that Zhang Tinglan said this, he also felt
The three people in front of me may be good partners.
"Zhang, what you said is very tempting, but if the quantity difference is too large, Russia will also pursue it!"
"Mr. Fred, there will be no mistake in the quantity. Our 27th Division does not have any. We still have a lot of old broken guns, and there are also a lot of weapons in China's arsenal. We have
By exchanging old ones for new ones, all the numbers will be replenished. You also know that many of the Russian soldiers are new recruits. They don’t know how to shoot. It’s such a waste to give these gray animals new weapons!”
Zhang Tinglan's proposal not only tempted Fred, but also Zhang Zuolin's eyes flashed. Now the equipment of the 27th Division is not very good. The most proficient equipment is the old-fashioned Martini rifle. If one fights alone, it is already
Seriously outdated, the best is the Russian-made Shui Lian Zhu. However, these rifles were scattered in the Northeast during the Russo-Japanese War. They have been used for many years, and the rifling has been worn away, and they have also lost their accuracy.
Even so, the soldiers still regarded these guns as treasures. They wiped them clean every day and cared more about them than their wives. There was no way the soldiers just pointed at these things to eat! Knowing the value of weapons, Zhang Zuolin at this time
Hearing Zhang Tinglan's words, he almost went crazy with joy. If the rubbish of Fengjun's equipment and the rags in stock could be replaced with brand-new Shui Lianzhu, the 27th Division would really be able to replace cannons with shotguns, and its combat effectiveness would skyrocket.
Zhang Zuolin barely controlled his excitement. Zhang Zuoxiang behind him had turned his face half way on purpose. Zhang Zuolin was afraid that Fred would see his joy, and he did not expect that his son would have such a brilliant idea. He even
I am already looking forward to the scene of getting the weapons. I must first change the equipment of my artillery regiment. All of them will be equipped with the latest rifles. The weapons will be neat and the spirit of the soldiers will be very different. The artillery regiment will definitely become the twenty-seventh.
The strongest force among the divisions.
Zhang Zuolin and the others all focused on Fred. At this time, Fred did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he picked up a cup of coffee and sipped it carefully. Of course, he did not have this leisurely elegance. Fred
De's brain was also running wildly. He was evaluating the feasibility of this matter and tampering with arms. This was a taboo. If any news leaked, it would definitely not end well. Therefore, he could not make up his mind and remained silent for a long time.
.
Zhang Tinglan became a little impatient and coughed slightly: "Mr. Fred, you are familiar with Chinese culture, and you must also know that in Chinese official circles, there are people who think twice, think about danger, think about change, and think about retreat! What is the situation in Russia now?
In this way, you also know that the Russian army is retreating steadily on the front line, large areas of the country have fallen, and domestic uprisings are occurring one after another. The majority party is making waves. Now Tsarist Russia is completely racing against time. If it can end the bloody war before Russia collapses,
Maybe we can still maintain this empire, but if we can't, this empire will collapse in the war."
Zhang Tinglan relied on the known history to follow the script. No matter how he said it, it made sense, because the facts were there. However, these words were a great shock to people of this era. Fred kept thinking about Zhang Tinglan.
If so, the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank is controlled by the Russian government. If there is a problem with the Russian government, the existence of this bank will also be a big problem. He is very aware of the internal situation in Russia, so he agrees with Zhang Tinglan's judgment from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Tinglan saw that Fred was a little loose and continued: "Russia is full of internal corruption. As long as we are willing to spend money to deal with it, there will definitely be no problems in a short time. Although our 27th Division is not a big force, after all,
There are also tens of thousands of gun barrels, which can completely protect you when necessary. As long as you take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you can earn millions or even tens of millions of wealth, and you will be a leader wherever you go!"
The last few words finally moved Fred, and he finally made up his mind. He nodded sharply and agreed to Zhang Tinglan's proposal.
Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang on the side finally put their hearts in their stomachs, and then their faces showed uncontrollable joy. Zhang Zuolin waved his hand and said: "Mr. Fred, I, Mr. Zhang, am a loyal person. I don't have anything like you."
We can't do it, and besides, you still have to deal with domestic relations in Russia. I, Lao Zhang, make the decision and I will share 60% of all profits with you!"
After saying these words, Fred's face suddenly lit up with joy. Zhang Tinglan also secretly admired Zhang Zuolin's heroic spirit. It was clear that Zhang Zuolin was a powerful person and his power was naturally greater than Fred's, but he was still willing to take advantage of others.
Head, how can you not satisfy Fred? This is the style and courage of the Northeast King.
"Mr. Zhang, since guns can be exchanged, food, cloth, military uniforms, cotton-padded clothes, cans, etc. can also be made in the same way. As long as all the materials passing by this railway are meat in our bowl!"
