Duanwu has always taken a serious attitude towards transactions with Americans, because Americans are accustomed to cheating, which they call humor.
As a result, many Chinese people were deceived by such humor.
I remember that an American sold a batch of children's toys as metal detectors to the Chinese, and the profit reached 10,000%.
So this kind of stupid thing will not be repeated in Dragon Boat Festival.
He checked the pistol and opened another longer weapons box. All of them were rifles.
General Philip explained at this time: "Mr. Duanwu, I know that there is no shortage of rifles in China, but our rifles are different from yours..."
"The M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle has eight rounds of ammunition, high reliability, high shooting accuracy, easy to disassemble and clean, and is suitable for a variety of combat environments. It is very good."
Just when General Philip was about to introduce the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle to Duanwu, Duanwu had already finished speaking first.
This is Duanwu’s way of telling Philip that not all Chinese people are sticks. You’d better not fool me.
At the same time, Philip was quite surprised, because at Duanwu's age, he actually knew about this kind of rifle. He was very surprised.
Philip said in admiration: "Mr. Dragon Boat Festival, you are so knowledgeable and knowledgeable!"
"Mr. Philippe is outrageous."
Duanwu was polite, but Tang Jiujiu also took out a rifle and asked, "How can this gun be used without a bolt?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "Pull this, and you can keep firing when the bullet is pressed inside, so it is called a semi-automatic rifle. Go outside and play, don't shoot randomly here, this is an arsenal."
"Okay, Arou, let's go, I'll take you to hunt rabbits."
Tang Jiujiu asked A Rou to hunt rabbits, and then the two of them left.
Dragon Boat Festival continued to flip through, and when he saw that the rifles were about the same size, he asked: "How many M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles are there?"
"More than two hundred! There are more than 20,000 bullets, but Mr. Duanwu doesn't have to worry, because I am still a good friend of Philip. Come and take a look, here is the Thompson submachine gun you want, although he only has more than two hundred.
, but each submachine gun has twenty fifty-round drums, so you won’t lose money this time, right?”
"Haha, it's not bad!"
Duanwu nodded, because according to the quantity calculation given by Philip, these submachine guns alone were enough to kill a Japanese division in two rounds.
Of course, this is based on killing one enemy every four to five rounds. But in fact, on the battlefield, it is considered good to kill one enemy every thirty rounds.
Continuing to walk inside the warehouse, Duanwu saw the m1919a4 heavy machine gun again. Although there were only four heavy machine guns, they had 60,000 rounds of ammunition.
Regarding this point, Duanwu felt that Philip was a good friend. If Philip had shipped a bunch of weapons without ammunition, then those weapons would be no different from scrap metal.
Duanwu patted Phillip on the shoulder and said, "Happy cooperation, this box of money is yours."
Duanwu took out the money and gave it to Phillip. Phillip laughed and said, "It's fun to do business with people like Mr. Duanwu."
Duanwu said: "I also like to do business with people like General Philip. But there is one more thing, you have to help me."
Philip asked back: "What do you think, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Duanwu said: "I need trucks to transport these weapons and equipment to the front line, but last time I begged my grandfather and grandma, I only got more than 30 trucks, and they have all been driven away. So I still need 30 trucks to transport these weapons and equipment."
Transport the equipment to the front line."
Philip said in embarrassment: "Brother Duanwu, this is indeed difficult. There are so many places where cars are used now. Even though I am a military adviser, I can't say what to do, just what to do."
Duanwu smiled and said: "How can I embarrass Mr. Philip?"
As he said that, Duanwu stretched out his hand and handed over a rectangular brocade box. When the brocade box was opened, there was a painting inside.
Gugan
When the painting was unfolded, Philip was stunned because he had seen this painting before.
I remember that during the Dragon Boat Festival investiture ceremony, an auction was held during the Dragon Boat Festival. The second auction item at that time was the painting in front of me - an early landscape painting by Zheng Banqiao.
Philip also participated in that auction, but he was not as rich as Watt, an Englishman. In the end, the painting was sold by Watt for 200,000 oceans.
Later, Watt was killed by the Japanese, and the antiques were intercepted during the Dragon Boat Festival.
In order to destroy the evidence, Duanwu burned part of the antiques in the spy's lair because they were all fake.
It was claimed that Japanese spies had stolen these antiques, and the money was collected. The antiques were snatched away by the Japanese and then burned.
However, this fake landscape painting Dragon Boat Festival remained because he was the one in charge of the auction at the time. He saw with his own eyes Philip and Watt competing to buy this painting.
So, Duanwu kept the painting until it was time to trade it. He went back to the 3rd Military Police Brigade to pick it up and showed it in front of General Philip.
Philip was very surprised. He did not expect that the painting would eventually return to his hands.
"Ok, ok! Very ok!"
Mr. Philip kept saying it, his voice even a little excited, because he liked this painting very much.
"Mr. Duanwu, I will not only find you a car, but I will also give you some other things. Although these things are not weapons and ammunition, they can still be regarded as my little thoughts.
Come here, we have our m1-style steel helmet, which has very high bulletproof and anti-fragment functions.
And here are uniforms, which can be waterproof and warm. Although these are aid materials, they are not for you. I can only take out part of these things, which is two hundred steel helmets, plus two hundred
Uniform, water bottle, food, boots, combat backpack, etc."
Philip and Duan Wu introduced each other, but at this time Duan Wu put his arm around Philip's shoulders and said, "I'm so angry, so I'll be the end of it."
Philip shook his head and said: "Mr. Duanwu, I'm not stingy, because these supplies are indeed donated to your government. I can explain the missing part because of transportation losses. There are too many, and I can't explain it to your government. Of course, I, Philip, are not
For those of you who are not friends enough, I will definitely bring more and better things to you next time."
"hey-hey!"
Dragon Boat Festival didn't wait for next time, what he wanted was this time. His eyes caught sight of more than thirty boxes placed aside, and he walked over.
Phillip said quickly: "These are also ordered by others."
Dragon Boat Festival didn't care about that. He picked up the crowbar and pried it open. There were oval grenades inside.
"Hahaha! This thing is pretty good. Give it all to me, hahaha! Give me another two hundred sets of helmets and clothes, hahaha!"
Duanwu asked directly, Phillip gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, who said we are friends?"
Duanwu shook hands with Philip and said: "This is natural. We are friends. There will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future. I wish us a happy cooperation forever."
“A pleasure to work with!”
The two shook hands, indicating that the transaction was successful. Then General Philip called the headquarters to ask for the car.
Thirty trucks are not a small number, and even if they are dispatched by the headquarters, it will be very difficult.
But they dare not offend the Americans, not to mention that Philip is a military adviser.
Therefore, Commander Tang could only order cooperation.
Duanwu and his party drove trucks back to the city, and Duanwu ordered all the trucks to be driven to the courtyard of the Third Military Police Brigade.
Liu Hongzhang saw so many trucks coming in and rushed out to greet them.
Duanwu got off the car at this time, Liu Hongzhang's face turned into a flower with a smile: "Hahaha, brother Duanwu, you are back, you miss me so much!..."
