Chapter 68 Gentleman's Agreement
Zhang Xuewu knows very well that this huge amount of tobacco is worthless in his hands when he is in short of funds. The "purchase" he proposed to Chiang Kai-shek before has never had a chance to implement it. So far, there is no complete "purchase" plan in Zhang Xuewu's mind. To put it bluntly, it is a lack of money, which is very, very scarce. Money, so much so that Zhang Xuewu didn't feel that his thirst for money in his life would make people crazy.
There is no doubt that selling smoke is equivalent to drinking poison to quench thirst, but in the face of the obvious ambition of China, even drinking poison to quench thirst, Zhang Xuewu can only let it. Previously, Zhang Xuewu has always wanted to build an army with a high mechanized composition, and in the future war of the army, he will use the tactics of rapid interspersed division to give it to the Japanese army. A fierce blow uses tactics to influence the strategy, so that the transformation of the strategic form of the enemy and us changes the course of history.
However, Tang Ziqiang, a mechanized group with experimental surname, has extremely disappointed Zhang Xuewu. First, there is a lack of suitable tanks, and second, the backward industrial level in China makes him extremely worried. Not to mention the engines used by tanks, even the gears in the gearbox can only be produced in the forging workshop of Jinling Arsenal. And the quality and specifications often do not match.
Once the parts of the tank are damaged, they need to wait for accessories, such as those imported weapons in later generations. The shells, gun barrel, tracks, transmission mechanism, driving mechanism, whether it is the overall casting or welding, riveting process of the turret can not be read for production and maintenance in China. In the face of the rapidly changing battlefield situation, once mechanized The army has lost the advantage of its mobile name, and I'm afraid it's not far from the collapse of the whole army.
Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and calmly faced Zhou Ying and said, "Since you can bring hundreds of big cars to carry out the so-called labor force today, I'm afraid you are ready to transport the goods, right? If I put forward the conditions now and you can meet me, how about I send a battalion of cavalry to escort you back?
Zhou Ying didn't expect Zhang Xuewu to make conditions directly? Instead of waiting for tomorrow morning, Zhou Ying knew that it was rare for a woman to be cherished in the eyes of a man like Zhang Xuewu, especially a more active woman like her, who could not be cherished. She was slightly stunned and said, "Please speak!"
Zhang Xuewu nodded and said, "Your boss must have a certain influence in Shanghai and China, right? According to the normal loss of this batch of goods, is it more than 20%?
Zhou Ying smiled and said, "Twenties is really not much. If Master Zhang is willing to give convenience, the little woman will really appreciate it!"
Zhang Xuewu smiled and said, "But I have one condition, that is, my 20% should be exchanged for US dollars or marks to buy arms in Germany. Can you do it?"
Zhou Ying was immediately surprised and said, "Master Zhang, you can use the Central Army. The weapons and materials of the Central Army are uniformly allocated by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. Why do you need to buy them yourself? Is it possible that Master Zhang also wants to become a king and a prince?
Zhou Ying's unbridled laughter made Zhang Xuewu frown and said unhappily, "If Miss Zhou can't meet my conditions, please come back!" I will publicly destroy this batch of cigarettes early tomorrow morning.
Zhou Ying didn't expect that Zhang Xuewu would turn his face faster than turning over the book, so she said with a little resentment, "Master Zhang really can't pity Xiang Xiyu. How can he leave no face for a weak woman at all?"
Zhang Xuewu sneered and said, "Weak woman? I'm afraid it's not appropriate to use this for Miss Zhou, right? If you lead the convoy thousands of miles deep into the war zone, aren't you afraid of any accidents? You should know that in Rehe, soldiers are bandits, and bandits are soldiers! You don't even have to take off your military uniform to bite Miss Zhou. Do you believe it or not? Don't you really naively think that these tens of millions of goods can be easily transported by your more than 200 people? The other 300 catties of gold and 7 million in the ocean? If you are known by my cousin or Zhang Zuoxiang or Tang Yulin, you, Miss Zhou, will be reduced to a subordinate plaything. In the end, you will be rewarded to those soldiers, and there is not even a trace of meat left.
After listening to Zhang Xuewu's words, Zhou Ying immediately had a cold war. No wonder the gentleman said that even if he paid 50% of the goods, he wanted Zhang Xuewu to send troops to escort him. The ocean and gold were not mentioned at all, and the bastard bastard surnamed Li obviously wanted to kill himself behind his back. How vicious he was!
Zhou Ying realized that she was at an absolute disadvantage. The soldiers and bandits in Rehe dared to rob and kill even the administrative commission of Nanjing Political Axe, not to mention tens of millions of smoke. I'm afraid that the gentleman in Shanghai is also very clear, so he deliberately let the new first division to be detained, otherwise it will wait for Zhang Xuewu to take office sooner or later. Commander of the Guard, is there something wrong here? Thinking of this, Zhou Ying smoothed her mind. Together with the Rehe war, the goods will increase by at least seven or eight times in Shanghai. Even if they lose half of them, they will definitely make huge profits. However, the premise is that they can ship the goods back to Shanghai. You should know that the gold in troubled times and the antiques of the prosperous times are the most valuable things, especially at this time. Called black gold, it is a hard currency that can be ranked before the US dollars.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ying stabilized her mind and still forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid Master Zhang is scaring the little woman!" If you have any conditions, please ask Master Zhang to say it together! I believe that Master Zhang must be a trustworthy person who sent Buddha to the west.
Zhang Xuewu nodded and said, "The weapons I want you to buy are not simple light weapons such as rifles and machine guns. They may include Germany's most advanced tanks, fifteen heavy grenades, semi-track tractors and other related accessories. Can you do it?"
Zhou Ying said with a wry smile, "Even if I say I can do it at this moment, Master Zhang, do you believe it? Even if the Germans have these things, will they sell them to us?
Zhang Xuewu smiled and said, "These are not the questions I should consider. I just want to ask you, Miss Zhou, can you do it?"
Zhou Ying said helplessly, "At present, this situation is a man-made knife and I am a fish. Can I say no?"
Zhang Xuewu nodded with satisfaction, picked up the phone and said, "Is it the duty room of the combat department? Let a regiment unload labor materials, load all the special materials and ocean and gold, inform the cavalry battalion of the division to be on standby, and order Tang Zhiqiang, deputy of the mechanized regiment, to personally lead half of the company to follow and protect.
Zhang Xuewu's series of orders made Zhou Ying completely relieved. Finally, she did not disgrace her mission and did not let her husband down! It seems that it's time for me to give.
Zhou Ying calmed down her mood. Originally, she wanted to pull Zhang Xuewu into her man. She was hungry and looking for an appropriate opportunity for this precious first time. There was no suitable opportunity in Nanjing, but under this contact, Zhou Ying had no choice but to find that Zhang Xuewu was not what she could drive at all. I can control it! Maybe this is the fate of women! It's hard to be a man in this troubled world, and it's even harder to be a woman.
A drop of crystal tears flashed at the corners of Zhou Ying's eyes. Her hand trembled slightly to unbutton her clothes. This body was still the original body, but was she still herself?
When Zhou Ying turned around with her eyes closed and waited for the wolf-like man to rush up and tear herself to pieces, what she heard was an exclamation, and a coat was over her body?
Zhang Xuewu was slightly annoyed and said, "The premise that I like women is that you and I want to. Put on your clothes quickly!" Don't catch a cold on such a cold day!"
Are you afraid that you will catch a cold? A trace of gratitude came to Zhou Ying's heart. Maybe he can be regarded as a gentleman! A gentleman who won't take advantage of people's danger? Maybe!
Zhang Xuewu lit a cigarette for himself and said, "This is a gentleman's agreement between you and me. I will load all the goods for you, and it's useless to stay with me. If I still have a breath in this battle, Miss Zhou and your boss will start to think about how to fulfill your promise! If I die for my country, our agreement will be invalidated!"
Zhou Ying was slightly stunned. It was the first time she saw a general talking about her life and death so frankly. She wanted to comfort Zhang Xuewu, but she didn't know where to start. After a long time, she hesitated for a long time before she said, "In the melee of warlords and the Central Plains, there were not many regimental commanders and brigade commanders killed in battle, let alone the division commander, and you It's still a dignified direct force of the Central Army, and it will never be like this.
Zhang Xuewu glanced at Zhou Ying and said, "It's different this time! It is said that the bandit came from China with selflessness. Defeat is equivalent to the destruction of the country, so we can only fight with death. In the future, there will be an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood. The country is weak and backward, and the people are insensitive. Only with blood can we wake up and defend the freedom of our nation with the Great Wall of flesh and blood!"
