The most expensive part of Zhou Wen's previous purchase list for Delman has been offset by patents, so now Zhou Wen has updated the purchase list again.
We added 1,000 German M1918 lined bulletproof steel helmets, purchased 3,000 pairs of German round-nailed infantry boots, and 2,000 German infantry military backpacks. Telescopes, artillery scopes and radio stations have all been purchased in greater quantities.
There is no way. Now Zhou Wen has more than 1,000 soldiers under his command. Zhou Wen trained them according to the elite soldier route. In the future, every soldier will be a treasure. Of course, one cannot favor one another in terms of equipment.
The good news in Delman's telegram is that Zhou Wen's favorite Somi submachine gun has been contacted. It is said that this is the world's first bulk order for Somi submachine guns, and even the Finnish army has not yet made up its mind to purchase it. Therefore, the Finnish company is very happy, but hopes that the quantity will be increased to 100, which will make production more convenient and reduce costs. But despite this, the price of each gun including the matching drum and shipping is still as high as $500.
What's more, the price of one gun is as much as that of two Thompsons, and the Thompson was already the most expensive submachine gun before it. 100 guns actually cost 50,000 US dollars. Zhou Wen couldn't help but gnashed his teeth in distress. It wasn't until I saw that the Finnish company presented 100,000 rounds of 9 mm Magnum bullets as a gift to express its gratitude that I breathed a sigh of relief. But overall, my goal has been achieved.
All arms and equipment will be transported to Shanghai in July and then directly transported to Taiyuan by train. Zhou Wen also needs to clear all links in the name of the Taiyuan Provincial Party Headquarters. But with the help of Liu Ruoshui, the big brother behind the scenes, the problem won't be too big.
Because Liu Ruoshui is now famous among Nanjing's top brass. Think about it, how long did it take before you came to Taiyuan to take charge of the provincial party headquarters? Less than half a year, right? Count how many contributions he has made?
As soon as they entered Shanxi, they wiped out the bandits and solved the disappearance of Japanese scholars in Jincheng. The conspiracy of the red bandits to riot was crushed in Lishi, and grassroots party organizations were established at the township level in Lishi County. Now the party work in Lishi County has become a model for the whole country. The Central Party Committee has issued a document calling on party committees across the country to learn from Lishi County. Not to mention the successful takeover of the Shanxi police system and the cracking of a major case of abduction and trafficking of Chinese women that shocked China and the world.
Even the principal in Nanjing enjoys the compliments and admiration of people from all walks of life for his insight into talents and his ability to employ people appropriately. So now that Commissioner Liu Ruoshui is already a big celebrity in the eyes of senior people in Nanjing, how could someone so blind come forward to cause trouble at this time?
However, the equipment Zhou Wen was looking forward to has not yet arrived, but the American equipment purchased by Henry has arrived.
In early June 1931, Taiyuan Railway Station was busy and lively. I saw trucks or small bridge cars being unloaded from the train one after another, and tall and sturdy machines filled up the large and small transfer warehouses around the train station. Basically all the hardworking stevedores or other laborers inside and outside the South City Gate were mobilized by the cattle gang and worked day and night for three full days.
Niu Yidao, the leader of the Niu Gang, also participated in the unloading with his gang brothers, who had expanded to more than 400 people. Niu Yidao is now very different from before. Although he has begun to feel soreness in his back and back after several days of hard work, he has no complaints in his heart and is filled with waves of satisfaction and enrichment.
Ever since he was brought out of death row by his benevolent chief, Niu Yidao felt like he was in a dream. He had easily taken back the territory in the West District. In just a few days, the Nancheng District that he had never dared to think about before was also taken back. It's up to you. The behemoth of the Hebang that used to make me breathless at any time just thinking about it disappeared overnight. As long as other gangs are slightly dissatisfied with themselves, they don't need the Niu Gang to fight tooth and nail. The police in Nancheng District will teach him how to behave in a minute.
The chief has clearly explained the gang's management regulations to you. Every street and alley has been planned one by one. Who is in charge? How much protection fee should each shop charge? Those who cannot be collected and those who can be collected are clearly explained. We no longer call it the Niu Gang to the outside world, it’s just called the community. Xicheng District and Nancheng District are divided into various communities. All the caring brothers under me are sent out to be the presidents of the community, and I am the chief president.
What does the community do? In addition to collecting various protection fees, the community must maintain the public order of the community. The chief also made it very clear that if you take other people's money, you must do things for others. If there are fights, abductions and abductions in the community, you have to take care of them. We must also actively cooperate with the police to control the situation. You also need to send people to cooperate with the police investigation and household registration investigation. You should also take care of the public health of the community, and regularly organize street residents or store clerks to clean the streets.
What? Is anyone unwilling? Then you become a gangster and teach him how to behave.
Looking at these not-so-complicated management regulations, Niu Yidao discovered that not only was the amount of money he should receive not less, but it was significantly increased than before. This was after most of the income was handed over to the benefactor. You don't have to deal with the police and other official relations that you needed to manage before, and someone will naturally coordinate them. But you have to take good care of your subordinates and pay them their monthly salary, but if you reach out for things you shouldn't take, there will naturally be help to deal with them.
In just two months, the entire Nancheng District and Xicheng District became in order. The streets are much tidier, social order is much more stable, and Niu Yida is much more fulfilling. In the past, I was busy running around all day long without a clue, living day by day. Now that responsibilities and rights are clearly defined, each community can be managed with ease, and it feels a bit like being an official.
"Brother." When Niu Yidao was taking a breather and thinking with emotion, a man in green came over, handed him a water bag and said: "Come and drink some water, brother, you are also a helper now. How can you work as hard as your brothers? You have not been tired for several days in a row, and now you are almost done with your work, so just take a rest."
This man in Tsing Yi is Niu Yida’s good brother Dou Ya. He used to be a smart and capable person in the Niu Gang. Later, after experiencing the murder of the girl he recognized, Tong Xiaomei, he became more mature and stable, and is now the number two figure in the community. .
Niu Yidao looked at the trucks loaded with goods and machines passing by one after another. He waved the smoke and dust coming from his nose with his hand and said, "Douzhao, I don't dare to rest. The past few months have been like this." It's like a dream. Now when we go out, we are all well-dressed and look like humans. But when I think about how this day came, I don't dare to relax. I'm afraid that if I have too many comfortable days, I will forget about it. The entrustment and teachings of the benevolent officer. So I would like to remind you that you must help me take good care of our group of brothers. You cannot forget your roots after a few days of peaceful life. "
