"How much munitions do we need?" Tang Dao swallowed and asked with some difficulty.
"It's not much. The arms for the two reorganized divisions were purchased from the German Habro Arms Company when the young marshal was in charge of the overall situation." Commander Wu said with a smile.
Then he shouted out the door: "Adjutant Zhao, bring over the arms list and show it to Commander Tang and others."
The colonel's adjutant whom Tang Dao had met walked in from the door, smiled politely at Tang Dao, took out a document wrapped tightly in brown paper from his bag and handed it to Zhuang Shisan.
Chief of Staff Zhuang opened the brown paper with trembling hands in excitement, and a two-page weapons list appeared in front of the three school officers.
"1. Twelve Bofors 75mm mountain guns made in Sweden, priced at US$16,000, totaling US$192,000, with 12,000 rounds of shells, priced at US$20, totaling US$240,000, totaling US$432,000;

"This, so much." Mr. Zhuang, who was relatively new to the world in Songjiang, was speechless as he held out the list.
The dazzling list of weapons and equipment, not to mention the heart of Lei Xiong, the former commander of the Royal Forest Army's cannon company, almost exploded. Even the well-informed Tang Dao was stunned by this big pie. Already.
If there weren't so many people in the room, Tang Dao would have really wanted to hug Comrade Wu and take a bite out of his already wrinkled old face.
What are the arms of the two reorganized divisions here? With this batch of arms as the core firepower, and if we step up the development of the arms factory, Tang Dao will be able to build an army that can compete with the three divisions of the Japanese army in less than two years.
At that moment, the captains and deputy captains of the Si Xing Regiment fell into great happiness because of the big pie falling from the sky. Especially the deputy leader Lei, the breath coming out of his nostrils was scorching hot. In his later words, at that moment , he was more excited than when he got on the kang on his wedding night.
Perhaps only Chief of Staff Zhuang Da is still a little calm. It's not that he is unhappy, but that he is naturally sensitive to data coordination and suddenly discovered something extremely fatal.
"Sir, the total price on the weapon list and the total price on the receipt don't match up! The total price on the list is close to 2.5 million US dollars, but the receipt is only 1.5 million US dollars. Could it be that this is a discount from Habro Company? ?" Zhuang Shisan licked his lips and asked with some uncertainty.
"What are you thinking about?" Commander Wu glanced at the uneasy Chief of Staff of the Fourth Army Regiment. "The goods haven't arrived yet. For those of you who have paid all the money, the US$1.5 million is just an advance payment. When the goods arrive, Then pay it off, and what you said is close to 2.5 million US dollars is incorrect, the shipping fee is calculated separately."
Tang Dao and his two subordinates looked at each other, with a bad feeling rising in their minds.
It seems that this pie is poisonous.
"Then what you mean is that the Northeast Army has a dedicated person responsible for the settlement! We will be responsible for the collection?" Tang Dao asked with a shy face.
"What do you think?" Comrade Lao Wu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and glanced at Tang Dao with a half-smile.
"I think that with the strong financial resources accumulated by the Northeast Army over the years, this is possible. Our regiment can definitely be used as a transport team. After transporting this batch of weapons and equipment back, we will share half of it with the brothers of the Northeast Army." Tang Dao bit the back groove. My teeth hurt.
The equipment here, let alone dividing it into half, even dividing some bullets and shells, is like cutting his flesh.
"I'm bash you, do you believe it or not? I have hundreds of thousands of brothers in the Northeast Army, but they are so good that they still need people to carry weapons? Why, you are the only one in the four-pronged group who are all big and round, how can one person withstand several hundred kilograms?" Lao Wu The comrade was completely offended by Minato's shameless Tang Dao.
"I'll tell you the truth. The remaining payment is 1 million U.S. dollars. You have to figure out who will accept the payment."
My head is buzzing!
This rhetoric, for the two army lieutenant colonels at this moment, was like falling from heaven to the floor.
One million U.S. dollars is equivalent to millions of silver dollars. If we chop and sell all the current 2,000 members of the Four Lines Group, we will have to sell the meat at a sky-high price of more than one dollar per kilogram.
Obviously, in the face of the cruel world, they are still too young. Is there such a thing as pie-in-the-sky good things in this world?
However, there is a saying that goes well: I thought that life had reached a low point, falling from the ceiling to dust, but little did I know that there was hell under the floor, and there were even eighteen levels of hell.
Tang Dao, who had at least seen the cruelty of the capital market, looked at Comrade Wu with a smile on his face, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger. He said with difficulty: "Besides paying the balance, are there any other restrictions?"
"That's not the case. Just show the receipt and pay the balance to receive the goods!" Comrade Lao Wu said with a smile. "It's just that the delivery location is the warehouse of the Habro Company in the Italian Concession in Jincheng."
It was like being struck by lightning! Tang Dao and his two subordinates were stunned.
Peat! Tang Dao just wanted to send this word to Old Fox Wu at this moment.
That place is now an enemy-occupied area. Let’s not worry about whether we can collect the final payment. Even if we can collect the two reorganized divisions and weapons, do you think the Japanese are blind or stupid? Do you want two trains for you and a farewell procession?
?
Isn't this good thing even more embarrassing than not saying anything?
"Why, you don't want it anymore, and you're so good at scolding me in your heart that you even gave me a gift and you turned it into a grudge. Come on, just give it back to me. Just pretend I didn't say anything and give it back to me." Commander Wu Dajun met Tang Tang.
Dao looked speechless and simply stretched out his hand.
"How can that be possible! How can that be impossible! It is unreasonable to give out a gift and take it back. This is unreasonable!" Tang Dao quickly put the receipt into his pocket and returned the weapon list.
Master Zhuang clapped his hands together. "Old Zhuang, go and notify the cooking team in person that a distinguished guest is coming. Make the dried chicken for lunch as an extra meal!"
This gift is like puffer fish, the meat is delicious but highly poisonous. But as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Doesn’t the end result of good cabbage always end up being eaten by pigs?
It is not Tang Dao's character to shrink back when faced with difficulties.
"You stingy bastard! I'm sorry, if I don't have a gift, your baby will send me potatoes with potatoes, right?" Hearing what Tang Dao said, Commander Wu could only say something speechless.
The Tang Dao of Hell.
He turned to look at his adjutant, "Adjutant Zhao, please remember to take the wild boar legs prepared for us by Commander Tang when you leave later."
Well, the old man and the young man stuttered so hard, as if they had no idea that what they just talked about was a big deal involving millions of silver dollars. Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh.
While the colonel's adjutant nodded with a smile, he was very envious of Tang Dao. He had been following the commander of the army for ten years and was already a close confidant. However, in terms of intimacy, he was still not as close as Commander Wu to Tang Dao.
The knife is like the attitude of a nephew.
Of course, the colonel's adjutant knew very well that he really couldn't envy him.
Tang Dao can be treated like this because the two have similar personalities, but more importantly, Tang Dao has the strength to be recognized by the commander of the army.
When the 67th Army was facing the 100,000-strong Japanese Tenth Army, more than 30,000 people from the commander on down were already prepared not to return. Unexpectedly, Tang Dao was born.
, because of his suggestions and desperate fighting, the 67th Army still has half of its troops. Although it has suffered heavy losses, it is many times better than the previously expected total annihilation of the army.
Although Commander Wu never mentioned the great kindness of saving the lives of more than 10,000 troops under his command, the colonel's adjutant who was familiar with him knew that if it weren't for this, how could he spare no effort to help Tang Dao.
Even that seemingly impossible receipt is worth tens of millions of gold. If Tang Dao is not given and handed over to the Ministry of Military Affairs, a second-level general will not be able to escape.
Perhaps, there will never be another person treated like this.
However, the colonel's adjutant, who didn't even dare to envy Tang Dao, never expected that Commander Wu's tolerance for Tang Dao had almost no bottom line, and that Tang would be so aggressive.
With sesame seeds, even the sesame seeds are not left out.
