That day, Thomas and Chu Xiong got into a small room. The 500-meter area around them was cordoned off by the Tigers Special Forces, and no one was allowed to get close.
I don’t know what the two of them did or talked about inside. Anyway, Thomas came out two hours later with a satisfied look on his face, so Chu Xiong naturally wanted to give him a gift.
"Chu, I have to report this matter to Ying Palace. You must know that the price you offered is beyond my authority to make decisions. I suggest you consider changing your career to a diplomat!"
"Thomas, don't put on a sad face, be willing to give up. Only when you give up can you gain;
You believe me, as long as you report it, Mr. Franklin will praise you, remember to buy me a drink! "
Thomas said OK and returned to Willow Town, where they had a dedicated radio station, which was looked after by Aaliyah.
Three days later, Thomas came to see Chu Xiong, carrying a bottle of champagne in his hand, and greeted Chu Xiong from afar:
"Hey Chu, would you like a drink later?"
As soon as Chu Xiong saw the expression on Thomas's face, he knew that his lion's big mouth must have been approved by the Eagle Palace, and the champagne was ready.
"Thomas, it's necessary!"
Chu Xiong's tone was also cheerful. 100 million eagle dollars (the default value of the work is approximately 200 million silver dollars) or equivalent supplies and equipment can be paid in installments. Damn it if Chu Xiong is unhappy.
Of course Chu Xiong knew that the "Mulan" drawing was not worth the price at all, but Ying Gong agreed;
He also signed a patent transfer agreement in a serious manner, and also authorized the Eighth Route Army to use the patent for free for ten years.
Eagle Palace just needs a reason to support Chu Xiong and the Eighth Route Army. The two parties are now in a normal transaction. Chu Xiong has transferred the patent for the mass murder weapon. This price is easy to operate!
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The Japanese, Shuzhong and Gosying country’s gentlemen have nothing to say;
Because of the terrifying lethality of the "Mulan" rocket launcher against tanks, the congressional gentlemen in Goshawk will cheer Franklin's decision. This is a great deal!
After the Goshawk Kingdom obtained the patent and drawings of "Mulan", they handed it over to the most powerful military factory in the country, and guaranteed the interests of the military factory, achieving multiple goals with one stone;
The "Bazooka" of the Goshawk Country had appeared three years in advance. With their terrifying industrial productivity, they had indeed gained a certain strategic initiative. From this perspective, the Goshawk Country did not suffer in terms of interests. Everyone is happy.
Of course, Chuxiong will not suffer a loss. What the Eighth Route Army and Yanzhou are most lacking now is money. Half of the money in this transaction belongs to Yanzhou, and the Goshawk Kingdom is responsible for paying them;
With this huge sum of money, Yanzhou will not be short of money in a few years. Several big guys in Yanzhou were so happy that they praised Chu Xiong, the baby leader, for his business skills.
The remaining 50 million Eagle Dollars are naturally at the independent disposal of the independent group. In order to facilitate them to spend this money, Goshawk Country sent Aliya, a reporter, to be stationed in the base area. Her public identity is Goshawk Country reporter. Even if the Japanese are caught She didn't dare to embarrass her!
Chu Xiong can roughly guess her actual identity, but he won't tell her. The right way is to see through it but not tell her.
Goshawk Kingdom opened an account for the independent groups of Yanzhou and Chuxiong at Citibank in Shanghai, and deposited 100 million eagle yuan into the two accounts separately. Yanzhou and Chuxiong can use it at any time. This trick is still Chu Xiong came up with it.
After having money, Chu Xiong wanted to buy something, but unfortunately he couldn't buy equipment;
The Japanese will not let it come in. The Eastern Japanese and the Goshawk Kingdom have not yet broken up with each other. If the Goshawk Kingdom sells equipment to China, it will cause a diplomatic turmoil or even war between the two countries. Franklin does not dare to make it too obvious.
Weapons are not allowed, but materials such as scrap steel can still enter Hedong Province and then be transported to Liu Town through black market channels;
Before the Japanese could react, Chu Xiong placed an order for 5 million eagle yuan, including 40 mm seamless steel pipes enough to produce 1,000 rocket launchers;
A large amount of scrap copper, iron and other materials, 500 empty gasoline barrels, 1,000 6x optical sights, a large amount of medicine and 20 latest radio stations, this radio station is much easier to use than the Japanese.
The supplies ordered by Chu Xiong were transported into the base area in multiple batches through the underground smuggling network. As long as the weapons were not directly transported in large quantities, Goshawk Country's energy in China could still be transported in.
This guy spent one-tenth of the money, and the distressed Gao Wancheng began to talk about Chu Xiong again:
"Lao Chu, save some money. We are rich now, but we can't be spendthrifts! There will be many places to use money in the future."
"Lao Gao, don't worry about money. Don't you know my Lao Chu's ability to make money?
This time, before the Japanese react, we must buy more supplies. With this batch of supplies, the base area will not have to worry about medicines, copper, iron and other raw materials for two or three years. Our "Mulan" rocket launchers and flying thunder cannons The production bottleneck will no longer exist..."
Chu Xiong began to brainwash Gao Wancheng again. An hour later, Gao Wancheng looked at Chu Xiong again and there was something shiny in his eyes.
"Lao Gao, you can't look at me like this. Our Eighth Route Army doesn't engage in personality worship!"
Chu Xiong said in a very disgusting manner.
"Old Chu, what's the matter with your skull? I really want to take a hammer and crack it open to see what's hidden inside!"
"Lao Gao, are you so violent? Shouldn't the political commissar be a bookish mother-in-law?"
"Old Chu, you have the nerve to say it. If I hadn't boarded your thief ship, I would be the commander of the main battalion. Now that I'm fine, I'll be reduced to being a housekeeper for your kid, so you can be content!"
Chu Xiong thought about it. The wisest decision at the time was to kidnap Lao Gao to the independent camp to be his housekeeper. Yang Wei could do it, but compared to Gao Wancheng, he was still a little inferior.
Yang Wei is too down-to-earth and not as thick-skinned as Lao Gao. People who partner with Chu Xiong must be principled but also flexible. Gao Wancheng still makes Chu Xiong very satisfied in this regard.
Gao Wancheng is a complete realist. As long as Chu Xiong does not oppose the organization or join the Japs, he will support him. Such a political commissar is hard to find.
"Okay, Lao Gao, I'll leave it to you to receive the supplies. Just communicate with Aaliya more; Thomas promised to deliver them all within a month!"
Gao Wancheng nodded after hearing this. With this batch of supplies, he would be able to serve as a political commissar.
After solving the major problem of the development of the base area, Chu Xiong could finally be a hands-off shopkeeper for a few days.
"The plan for the year lies in spring. I have to find something to do. I can't let the devils be too idle..."
After being free, Chu Xiong began to think about plotting against the Japanese again.
