Dreaming Back to 1937 Chapter 16: The Deal Is Closed
In the end, Lin Yanran accepted Li Weidong's suggestion and chose the Mosin-Nagant rifle. The reason was that the price was cheap as Li Weidong said. The main reason why her family was able to buy arms in China was because they bought them from foreigners.
It attracts people's attention, and the prices sold by foreigners are very expensive. The family's financial resources are limited, so they save as much as possible.
In terms of machine guns, Lin Yanran chose a light machine gun. It was the ZB-26 light machine gun developed in the 1920s by the Brno State Arsenal in Czechoslovakia.
The zb-26 light machine gun is actually the famous light Czech machine gun, and it is also a classic weapon used by the Chinese people to resist Japanese imperialist aggression. In later generations, it can be seen in many classic movies.
"The advantage of this machine gun is that it has a simple structure, is easy to transfer and carry, and can be carried by one person while marching. Moreover, it can shoot targets with a single shot and can also perform fire suppression!" As he said, Li Weidong got started personally. He took it from the guard and handed it to him.
The light Czech gun is propped up on a sandbag and fired in bursts, hitting the target in the distance. Then, it uses continuous fire to draw an arc on the ground in front, raising a layer of soil debris.
Li Weidong likes the light Czech weapon very much. Not only because it is light and durable, but more importantly because as a new generation of new China, he especially likes this weapon that made great contributions in the Anti-Japanese War.
In the end, Lin Yanran bought a total of 2,000 Mosin-Nagant rifles and 25 ZB-26 light Czech machine guns, and ordered two 75mm mountain cannons.
Li Weidong's rifle is sold at a price of 50 yuan each, and the unit price of the light Czech is 1,000 yuan. Including two 5,000 yuan mountain cannons, the total price is 135,000 yuan.
"As an after-sales service, we can be responsible for helping you safely transport it to the pick-up point! Miss Lin, do you plan to transport it now or wait two days to transport it with the mountain cannon?" Li Weidong asked Lin Yanran to see what she needed!
Could it be that Li Weidong has become addicted to being a salesman and is actually responsible for transportation? In fact, although Li Weidong has a good impression of Lin Yanran, he does not do things indifferently. He mainly takes this opportunity to smuggle one or two spies to the Philippines and give them to him
Construction of sub-bases and front stations.
Li Weidong still understands the truth behind the three nests of cunning rabbits. In future wars with the Japanese, Li Weidong does not want to be blocked on Hainan Island and unable to move! If there is an overseas base, he can give the Japanese a hard blow behind his back.
"Then thank you very much, Mr. Li! I will go back and inform the family to arrange the delivery!" Lin Yanran did not bring many people with her to Hainan this time. She originally planned to get one or two hundred guns from Liu Yongqi, which would be good.
Yes. I didn’t expect to meet a surprise here.
Just now, she was thinking about how to quietly transport this batch of arms back to the Philippines. She didn't have enough manpower, and the security of the shipment was too low. If the arms that the family spent all their money to buy were robbed halfway, it would be completely over!
Soon! Lin Yanran said goodbye to Li Weidong. She needed to go back quickly to bring the news back to her family.
Watching Lin Yanran leave in the car, Li Weidong's adjutant Jiang Tao came to him and asked doubtfully, "General! Why should we take charge of the transportation ourselves? Our number of soldiers has already exceeded the limit. If the Hainan Command finds out, it will cause trouble!
"
"It doesn't matter! We don't have much time left. Once we get the money, we should take action! Remember to prepare the arms to be traded!" Today is already July 16th. Since Li Weidong came here
It has been half a month since I arrived here.
Judging from his memory, Chiang Kai-shek was implementing the policy of calming down the country before resisting foreign aggression. The Nationalist Army failed to resist and retreated steadily. Therefore, Li Weidong needed to speed up the pace of development.
Arriving at the command hall, Li Weidong found "Xinhua" Zhinao. Xinhua was Li Weidong's new name for Zhinao. He always called a beautiful woman "Zhinao!", which made Li Weidong feel weird!
"Xinhua! Create a few spies in the barracks immediately and be on standby at any time! Speed up the construction of the Air Force Command. We need air superiority in the Hainan Island area and start building a tank factory!" Li Weidong kept issuing construction orders. Now that he has made up his mind,
To carry out an armed coup, Li Weidong did not intend to hesitate any longer.
"As you command, Your Excellency Commander!"
………………
After dinner, training camp lounge!
"Ah...! Daming, can you please be gentle? It's almost broken!" Wu Qiang grinned in pain. Chu Daming was helping him use ancestral massage techniques to loosen the stiff muscles in his shoulders. He was standing aside
Such nonsense, but luckily they have a life-long friendship, otherwise someone with a hot temper would have slapped him in the mouth.
"Absolutely! You're the only one who complains the most!" With that said, Chu Daming patted Wu Qiang on the shoulder in retaliation.
"Ah! You..." Wu Qiang screamed in pain and looked at Chu Daming with his eyes! However, Chu Daming turned his head and acted as if he didn't know anything.
"Just be quiet for a while and gather some strength. We will have to train again later!" the teammate on the side advised. The friendship between the men lies in: going to school together, fighting guns together, and visiting brothels together. They also do most of these.
We did it, so we are very united with each other.
"Alas! When I think of the black face of "Mad Cow", my teeth itch. How can there be such perverted people in this world? He knocked me down with one hand!..."
Chu Daming looked up and suddenly his instructor Niu Meng walked in. His face suddenly changed, and he immediately winked to Wu Qiang to shut him up. However, Wu Qiang was in the middle of talking and didn't notice Chu Daming's wink. He didn't know
Niu Meng has already arrived behind him.
On the side, the team members lying beside the bed also noticed the arrival of the instructor, and quickly sat up straight. They looked at the instructor Niu Meng with anxiety! Wu Qiang, wish yourself well!
"Alas! What a pity! I really can't get rid of him, otherwise I would have fixed him severely!... Uh, why don't you talk anymore? You look like you've seen a ghost!" He talked enthusiastically for a while,
Wu Qiang found that it was better to talk alone.
"stand at attention!"
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting from behind. The team members stood up with a "Wow!"
When Wu Qiang heard the familiar accent, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He thought to himself that he was really dead this time!
"Very good! Very motivated! But you still don't have the ability to defeat me now. In order to bring you closer to your ideal..." Niu Meng came to them and said. Wu Qiang felt like this when he heard this
Sure enough, the instructor patted him on the shoulder and continued.
"So, you go to the training ground now and run fifty laps with full weight. Remember, if you haven't finished running before dinner, you will wash all the tableware in the training camp tonight! Do you understand?"
"Yes! Sir!" Wu Qiang put his legs together and stood at attention and saluted! He felt that his calves were a little weak. Wouldn't this be life-threatening? After running for twenty kilometers with a full load, the skin would peel off even if he died.
