Although the United States also provides some assistance, the transportation lines are unstable and the amount is very small. Therefore, such foreign companies, or trading companies, have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Even spending a lot of money to purchase various supplies that are urgently needed in the country is considered a last resort. After all, money is becoming less and less valuable now, so it is better to maintain the value of various in-demand goods.
Fan Keqin is also worried about this situation, but as a small agent, he has done well enough in the face of the wheel of history. He can only integrate into this environment and protect himself first, and then talk about other things. Therefore, Fan Keqin believes that if you want to see the light, you must first learn to blend into the darkness.
Fan Keqin chatted with Donovan for a while and said, "Donovan, can you get a sniper rifle? I think we need this kind of firearm."
Donovan said: "My family is still very influential in New York City. I think I can get the sniper rifle you just mentioned, and if the batch is not large, I can deduct the money from your share. How? ?”
Fan Keqin glanced at Qian Jinxun, who obviously had never heard of the word sniper, so he asked: "Sniper rifle? What do you mean?"
Fan Keqin said: "A high-precision rifle, equipped with an auxiliary sight. It can kill accurately from a long distance. It is similar to our sharpshooters."
Donovan nodded and said, "Yes, money, that's a great gun." Sniper rifles were actually widely used during World War I, so Donovan naturally knew about it. It's just that China was indeed lagging behind during this period, and only a very few people had heard of the term sniper rifle. However, by the end of World War II, the role of snipers became more and more obvious. The famous snipers and sniper rifles have just entered China's sight.
Fan Keqin said: "Very good, how many can you get?"
Donovan smiled and said: "My friend, I have said before that my family is very powerful in New York City. How about you give me the number first?"
Fan Keqin said: "The quantity is not large. I only need a hundred brand-new sniper rifles and related bullets. If you can, how about you help me bring them back together with the next purchase?"
Donovan said: "Of course, I will send a telegram to the United States and ask them to prepare your little hobby."
Qian Jinxun said at this time: "Lao Duo, I hear what you mean, the first batch of goods is ready to be sent here?"
Donovan said: "Of course not, but it will be soon. Last time Carl replied to me and said that they were ready at the dock and contacted a five-thousand-ton cargo ship. Believe me, friend! The cargo will definitely be the best." Ship it quickly, after all, time is money. And Fan, my new friend, your special requirements can also be met. I believe there must be some space on the ship, enough to fit your gun."
Qian Jinxun said: "Tell me, what kind of goods do you have?"
Donovan smiled: "Cloth, wine, cigarettes, chocolate, grain, leather, various types of wires and cables, and even a few cars. In short, a lot, my friend."
To be honest, there is nothing that is in short supply in China now, and many things are even in urgent demand. Therefore, anything brought in will be used up very quickly, and it may not even make a splash at all, let alone Five thousand tons of various materials, even fifty thousand tons, half a million tons, five million tons are fucking like Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts, far from enough.
This kind of money is not clean, but Fan Keqin didn't say anything, and he didn't even feel any fluctuation in his heart. He nodded and said: "These things are very good, but I am afraid... that the sea will be unsafe."
Donovan said very arrogantly: "Don't worry, Fan, no one in the world dares to touch our American ships. We are going to make a fortune."
What this says...well, at this stage, the United States is indeed awesome, with the world's number one industrial capacity, supplies like clouds, and weapons like rain. So damn rich.
Although the British are still nominally number one in the world. But this time next year, as the Germans attack Poland, they will soon beat the British until their noses are crooked and their eyes are crooked, and their teeth are everywhere. To be honest, Britain, the long-established world's number one power, really doesn't live up to its name. If it weren't for the United States, an industrial country that provides endless logistical support of all kinds... well, there would be no ifs in history.
We can't say bad things about our future allies now, even though they are indeed scumbags. How bad is it? Look at the future expeditionary force. In order to safely retreat, the British did not say anything, leaving our expeditionary force to fight with little Japan.
The British are defeated, and since we are allowed to hold back little Japan, even if our expeditionary force has no complaints, it will be a fight to the death. But you would rather put all kinds of supplies, such as guns, ammunition, gasoline, tanks, etc. A large amount of heavy equipment is still in place, left to little Japan, and they are not even handed over to our ally. How scumbag do you think they are? Even if you support a batch of ammunition, the result will be nothing, as if it is natural for our expeditionary force to use human lives to cut off their rear.
In contrast, Fan Keqin prefers the old beauty at this stage, of course! It's only at this stage. After the end of World War II, to use Northeastern dialect, Americans began a decades-long history of pretending to be a fool around the world.
Donovan was able to get supplies, and Fan Keqin was a pragmatist, so he naturally felt that he was someone he could cooperate with.
Then why not use this ship to transport more weapons? Wouldn't that be more pragmatic? You have to look at the identity of Fan Keqin or even Sun Guoxin? After all, Donovan is not the kind of foreign businessman with a government background. If you want to transport weapons in large quantities, Sun Guoxin may not be able to withstand it.
If the old American government knows about it, it will definitely take action, either notify or warn Chiang Kai-shek. At this stage, Lao Jiang has to look at Lao Mei's face. Can he help Fan Keqin and the others? impossible. And if you want to get a large number of weapons, just go to a foreign company, and there will be no problem. But Fan Keqin and the others started this company just to make some "little money", do you understand? This kind of product tends to be more popular, and with Sun Guoxin's identity, there is no problem in handling it.
As for Fan Keqin's hundred guns, that's even more okay. After all, the quantity is very small, and in the end, Fan Keqin didn't use it himself. They were all prepared for the agents of the Intelligence Department. Even if Dai Yunong knew about it, not only would nothing happen, he might even be praised.
After they finished talking about business and drank a few more glasses of wine with Donovan, the two brothers Fan Keqin stood up and left. However, Qian Jinxun walked out of the company door and said, "Keqin, don't go back yet. Let's find a place and I'll tell you something else."
