"Hello Mr. Deps, my name is Wei Zhengcai, captain of the 88th Division Military Police with the rank of major. Nice to meet you!"
"Oh, Mr. Wei, you are young and promising. You are already a major at such a young age. Congratulations."
"Mr. Deps, that's ridiculous, hehehe!"
Wei Zhengcai was very happy. He liked to hear the four words "young and promising" the most.
And he feels that many people say that foreigners are arrogant, but today it seems that the rumors are untrue. Isn't Deps in front of him very approachable?
Wei Zhengcai became more fond of Deps and quickly introduced him: "This is Miss Yang Huimin. Our Eighty-Eighth Division now relies on her."
"Ms. Yang, hehe, you are very beautiful. It is my honor to meet such a beautiful woman like you."
"Me too."
Yang Huimin shook hands with Depps generously, but she didn't want to let him go if he caught him, which made Yang Huimin a little disgusted.
"hold head high!"
Just as Deps was holding on to Yang Huimin's hand, the Asian lady next to Deps made a very obvious nasal noise.
Deps quickly let go after hearing this nasal sound. Because he had not plowed the field behind him yet, he could only give up on Yang Huimin in front of him first.
Moreover, Deps introduced everyone: "This is Miss Fanghua, and she is my friend."
"Haha! Hello, Miss Fanghua!"
Wei Zhengcai shook hands with the other party, but glanced at the other party's fashionable low-cut dress.
At first glance, she looked like a woman who had studied abroad and had seen the world.
Wei Zhengcai was deeply attracted to the other party, but unfortunately, the woman in front of him was obviously more inclined to foreigners.
Wei Zhengcai felt very sorry, thinking that all the good cabbage had been taken away by foreigners.
"Captain Wei, let's talk about business first, shall we?"
At this moment, Yang Huimin had to give a warning, otherwise Captain Wei's soul might be taken away by Miss Fanghua.
"Yes, yes, we should get down to business."
Wei Zhengcai said quickly to cover up his embarrassment. Then he said to Deps: "Mr. Deps, we are in urgent need of a batch of 37 anti-aircraft artillery shells. I don't know how many you have there. We want them all."
Deps smacked his lips and said, "Probably, there are still twenty-four shells, well, that's all."
"Twenty-four rounds?"
Wei Zhengcai frowned, because it was too little, not even enough to build a base. But having it is better than nothing.
Wei Zhengcai said: "We want all the cannonballs. Mr. Deps, what is the price of these cannonballs?"
Deps held up a finger.
"A piece of ocean? So cheap?"
Yang Huimin was surprised because he heard Wei Zhengcai say that arms are very expensive nowadays, with a shell costing at least a dozen oceans. But he didn't expect that Deps only only wanted one ocean. Then the money in her hand could at least be enough.
If you buy several thousand rounds of artillery shells, you can kill all the little devils by hitting them with them.
But at this time, Wei Zhengcai didn't think so, because the price of a cannon shell was displayed there. It was a friendly price of more than ten yuan. He and Deps were strangers, so why did they give him this friendly price?
Therefore, Wei Zhengcai guessed that the opponent would cost at least thirty yuan for this shell.
But at this time, the other party only extended a finger, which was puzzling.
But Wei Zhengcai then thought about it. If it wasn't ten yuan, it would be one hundred yuan. This price was simply ridiculously high.
Wei Zhengcai asked tentatively: "A hundred yuan?"
"A hundred yuan for a cannonball? Why don't you go and grab it?"
When Yang Huimin heard this, she became angry.
However, at this moment, Deps repeatedly waved his finger and said: "No, you all guessed wrong. I said it was a gold bar and a cannonball."
"Captain Wei, where is your gun?"
Yang Huimin asked Wei Zhengcai for a gun, but Wei Zhengcai advised him, "Wait a minute, and I'll ask him again. If not, you're pulling out the gun."
Wei Zhengcai finally calmed Yang Huimin down, and then said to Deps: "Mr. Deps, one cannonball and one gold bar. Do you think you can leave China after taking this money?"
Deps was not surprised by Yang Huimin and Wei Zhengcai's reaction, and said slowly: "Mr. Wei, you are a soldier, and I don't think I can deceive you about weapons and equipment.
The normal price of 37 anti-tank artillery shells is around 23 yuan. If they are out of stock, I can sell them for 35 yuan each."
"But you are too tall, right?" Wei Zhengcai asked.
"Mr. Wei, don't look at what time it is now. The Japanese have occupied all the shipping channels. If I sell the shells to you, the Japanese may never allow me to do business in China again.
But I have lived in China for a long time and am very affectionate about this place. That’s why I decided to take the risk and sell the cannonballs to you.
However, please forgive my selfishness, because I also need a lot of funds to return to my country. I also need to live. Do you think my request is too much?"
Deps said it so tactfully that even the suspicious Wei Zhengcai believed it.
Because it is true that the Japanese have occupied all the sea lanes near Shanghai. If Deps sells the artillery shells to the Chinese soldiers, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Japanese. When the time comes, Deps will be wanted.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhengcai could only discuss it with Yang Huimin. But Yang Huimin didn't have that much money at all. One cannonball and one gold bar, twenty-four rounds equaled twenty-four.
Although people in Nan'an did donate a lot, many of them were food, clothing, medicine, etc., and not many people actually donated money. Therefore, Yang Huimin simply couldn't accept this price.
She came to Deps, slapped the table and said, "There are only ten gold bars, will you sell them?"
Deps smiled and touched Yang Huimin's hand and said: "For Miss Yang's sake, it is not impossible to consider, but..."
Yang Huimin knew what the foreign devil in front of her wanted. She held back her nausea and said: "Twenty-four shells and ten gold bars. After the transaction, I am willing to become good friends with Mr. Deps."
Deps nodded with satisfaction. However, he didn't want to be caught off guard. The gorgeous young lady next to him gave him a hard stamp, then took his bag and left angrily.
Deps endured the pain in his feet, but said to Yang Huimin in a gentlemanly manner: "Miss Yang? Look, I offended Miss Fanghua for you."
While talking, Deps touched Yang Huimin's hand on the table.
At this time, Wei Zhengcai couldn't stand it anymore. But Deps had the artillery shells they needed in his hands. There was nothing he could do.
Wei Zhengcai could only say: "Mr. Deps, since we have made a deal, why don't you take us to get the cannonballs?"
Deps refused: "You have to wait for my news, because the cannonballs are not in the city, and I have to find a way to transport the cannonballs here first.
Don’t worry, Mr. Wei, Miss Yang, I, Depps, always keep my word. What’s more, there is such a beautiful Miss Yang who wants to be friends with me. I will never go back on my word, hahaha!...
