Originally, the old abacus had finished counting the Japanese military tickets. Although the accuracy was a little lower, Duanwu still knew the approximate amount. Otherwise, how could he do business with the Soviets?
But when Tang Jiujiu came, he was afraid that she would cause trouble for him, so he found such a good job for Tang Jiujiu.
Tang Jiujiu was already in a state of ecstasy after hearing Duanwu's flattery, and said he would start ordering these military tickets right away.
But naturally we can’t say during the Dragon Boat Festival: Well, you order it!
In this way, he will not only lose a girlfriend, but also accept a cold war for no reason, or be baptized by a violent storm.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival must not do that. Instead, he held Tang Jiujiu's hand and said distressedly: "That's it for today. You have been tired for a day, and I don't want my baby to be tired."
"Well!"
Listening to the old abacus on the side, not only did he get goosebumps all over his body, but he also felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
But Ah Rou, who had been standing behind Tang Jiujiu, didn't think so. Instead, she thought it was romantic and envious.
As a result, Tang Jiujiu was fooled by the Dragon Boat Festival again and obediently stayed in the warehouse full of copper smell to count money.
Duanwu naturally found an excuse to leave, and Lao Abacus followed Duanwu, giving him thumbs up.
But the old abacus then thought about it, no matter how much money there was, there would always be a time when the money would be counted, and asked: "Member of the group, what if Miss Tang counts all the military notes?"
Duanwu put his arm around Lao Baanpan's shoulders, then pointed at the stacks of empty ammunition boxes and said, "Did you see it? Count the boxes. After counting the boxes, count the bullets. When she finishes counting the bullets, we will have trophies for her to count." "
"Wonderful!"
Lao Abacus suddenly realized that he didn't expect Tuan Zuo to be so clever and get out of trouble with just a number.
Dragon Boat Festival was rejoicing, but at this moment, the communications soldier came in a panic and said: "Report to the regiment, the Japanese army on the northern front has begun to attack. They crossed the Yellow River and seized Jiyang."
"What? The Japs crossed the Yellow River?"
I really didn’t expect the Dragon Boat Festival to be so fast, and the Yellow River is a natural chasm, so the Japanese army flew over so suddenly? This is hard to believe.
But little did he know that although Han Fuju had promised that he would try his best to defend the northern front during the Dragon Boat Festival. But from the beginning, he never thought about serious defense. Therefore, the Yellow River's defense line is full of loopholes.
Even if he thought of defending again, the little devil had already found the loophole in the defense and killed him in one fell swoop.
Jiyang was quickly captured by the Japanese army, and the Japanese poured in like a tide.
Han Fuju could only order the defenders on the Yellow River to retreat across the line, preparing to rely on the important town of Jinan to carry out successive resistance.
"Han Fuju, this bastard, can Jinan be able to hold on if he loses the Yellow River defense line?"
I was so angry that I wanted to kill someone.
Of course, even killing Han Fuju at this time would not help. If Jiyang is lost and the Japanese cross the Yellow River, they can only protect Jinan with death, because once Jinan is lost, Xuzhou will be in danger.
"Let's go back to the headquarters. And tell the soldiers to prepare for the expedition."
After the Dragon Boat Festival gave the order, the communications troops immediately went to deliver the order, and the atmosphere in Bengbu instantly became tense.
When Duanwu returned to the headquarters, the first thing he did was to call Li Zhongren.
Li Zhongren was holding a combat meeting, and he was caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Japanese troops on the northern front. Moreover, the Yellow River was a natural chasm, and he didn't know how Han Fuju managed to defend it.
But how did he know that Han Fuju had no intention of defending from the beginning. So this natural chasm was thrown away by him so easily.
Han Fuju's two divisions are now retreating to Jinan, but it is only a matter of time before they are captured by the Japanese.
Does the Dragon Boat Festival proposal require an independent regiment to go to reinforce and defend Jinan, at least to buy time for the Xuzhou Battle?
However, Li Zhongren believes that Jinan now has two divisions of Han Fuju, and Han Fuju is mobilizing troops to rush to Jinan. Although Jinan may not be able to defend it, it is still possible to hold on for ten days.
And with this time, he can gather his troops to fight a battle in Jinan.
Duanwu felt that Li Zhongren might be too optimistic, and Han Fuju's troops might not be that strong.
Moreover, Li Zhongren later brought up the artillery brigade. Li Zhongren said: Han Fuju attributed the loss of the Yellow River entirely to his inferior firepower to the Japanese, which caused the defeat of the Yellow River front line.
So it is obvious that Han Fuju is using the lack of firepower as an excuse. At the same time, he is also giving Chongqing a warning. Is it time to give me the artillery brigade that promised me?
Duanwu knew that the battle in Jinan might be dangerous. It's just that Li Zhongren didn't agree with the independent regiment's emergency support, and he had no choice. Dragon Boat Festival could only order Lao Abacus to cancel the order for the entire regiment to set off.
But at the same time, another thing is also on the agenda during the Dragon Boat Festival, and that is to bring back an artillery brigade.
He didn't have to think about Chongqing. The Chairman of the Generalissimo was determined not to give Han Fuju the artillery brigade, so if he wanted Han Fuju to work hard, he had to find a way on his own.
But Ma Ping'an didn't come back, so he had no choice but to wait.
However, there was good news. Late on the 28th, Marklov sent a telegram telling Duanwu that the business could be done. However, Dragon Boat Festival requires an additional shipping fee.
Dragon Boat Festival said: No problem. And he said to Marklov: Long-term cooperation is possible. As long as Marklov has good things, just contact him. Whether it is weapons, ammunition, aircraft, cannons, tanks, as long as Marklov buys it, Duanwu will buy it.
Of course, what Dragon Boat Festival wants is advanced weapons, not junk.
Marklov was very happy. After all, this time, not only could he make a lot of money, but he also found a way to make money.
However, can Marklov really spend the little devil’s military tickets?
Yes, because what Duanwu said is right. Although the military tickets of the little Japs cannot be exchanged for Japanese yen, the Japs soldiers still use them. As long as they slightly reduce the proportion and sell them, there is no problem at all.
What's more, the prices offered by Dragon Boat Festival are simply too tempting. With a 50% discount, they are simply making money while lying down.
What's more, if Duanwu buys their weapons at three times the price, as long as Marklov and his superiors are not fools, they will definitely trade.
Moreover, Dragon Boat Festival finally gave them a reason that they would never refuse again, that is, Dragon Boat Festival even paid for the freight.
Of course, Dragon Boat Festival is not crazy or stupid to spend such a high price to buy Soviet-style weapons. Because these are all waste paper.
When the Dragon Boat Festival came back with the money, Zhou Weiguo said: What are you doing with so much waste paper? It's better to set it on fire.
But at this time, the Japanese military tickets that Zhou Weiguo was about to burn could be used as real money and silver, and exchanged for the most advanced weapons of the Soviet Union. If Zhou Weiguo knew about it, he would probably regret it! .....
