After hearing this, Zhang Tianhai's face immediately turned serious, and he said: "Our army does have a lot of trophies, but they were all obtained by the frontline brothers with their lives. I, Zhang Yulin, came here to give me something or something." In exchange for oceans, the price of one of our 38-meter caps on the black market is as high as 100 oceans. You have to think carefully."
Zhang Tianhai's words were so powerful that they were almost irresistible.
Chief Qin gritted his teeth and asked, "I wonder what price General Zhang wants to accept?"
Zhang Tianhai thought for a while and said: "One 38-gun shot with ten rounds of bullets, in exchange for ten sacks of rice!"
After hearing Zhang Tianhai's words, everyone present took a breath of cold air - please note that in this era, there is no hybrid rice developed by Mr. Yuan, and the output of rice is extremely limited. The price of ten sacks of rice is undoubtedly is extremely high.
The face of the patriarch of Qinjia Village is constantly changing. It is obvious that his little calculation is very loud.
After a long time, Chief Qin finally let out a long sigh: "General Zhang, please wait a moment! I will discuss it with the clan elders first. After all, so many sacks of rice are not a small amount. I have to ask everyone for their permission. Opinion."
Zhang Tianhai nodded and agreed to Chief Qin's request. He said, "Okay, then I will wait here. I am busy with military affairs. I hope Chief Qin can seize the time and not delay everyone's business."
"I thanked General Zhang." After saying that, the Qin clan leader bowed towards Zhang Tianhai, which was quite a legacy of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Zhang Tianhai did not stop Patriarch Qin at this time, but nodded slightly and said: "Chief Qin, you don't have to be polite."
Not long after, Chief Qin finally came out. He gritted his teeth and stretched out a palm, and then said: "General Zhang, we want five guns, but General Zhang, can each gun be equipped with twenty rounds of ammunition for us? Five guns." Guns, this is already our greatest ability.”
Zhang Tianhai also knew that Chief Qin was not lying, so he nodded and agreed. He said, "Then I agree. Let's make the deal! I will leave a squad of soldiers here to teach you how to do it, but you have to help with the food." We pull into the city.”
"Okay. I would like to thank General Zhang!" Chief Qin said seriously, and then bowed his head again, very politely.
"You're welcome." Zhang Tianhai looked calm.
…
When Zhang Tianhai's deal was concluded happily, the division commander Zheng Dongguo finally returned from the headquarters of the Honorable First Division in Lingling, Hunan.
"Master, there's an urgent call on the peak." Deputy division commander Hu Jiaji said directly when he saw Zheng Dongguo.
"Huh? Are there any combat missions again?" Zheng Dongguo put down the document package in his hand and asked Hu Jiaji.
"Reporting to the division seat, it is not a combat mission, but the commander's department wants to transfer about a battalion of troops from us. These more than 600 people are to support the theater guard troops who suffered serious losses in the frontline battle." Hu Jiaji reported briefly.
"Huh? Why should we deploy veterans from our army to support them?" Zheng Dongguo's expression was almost exactly the same as Hu Jiaji's just now.
Hu Jiaji's mind was racing, but with a smile on his face, he said: "Isn't this because we are all troops of the Central Army? And the important thing is that we are all direct descendants of Huangpu. I guess it is for this reason that we were transferred from our Honorary First Division Deploying troops."
"It seems that the commander-in-chief of the theater security force is Wu Yizhi! It turns out that Commander Xue is the chief of staff." Zheng Dongguo said with a frown.
"It is Director Wu of the Lushan Cadre Training Corps who also serves as their commander-in-chief, but the actual commander is Zhang Tianhai, the former enemy commander-in-chief. You should have heard of this person." Hu Jiaji slowly brainwashed Zheng Dongguo, and continued slowly Gradually.
"I have an impression. It seems that I have won several very good battles and is also very outstanding among our students in Huangpu." Zheng Dongguo admitted this.
"It's from his unit. I guess he was seriously injured when he killed a regiment of the Sixth Division a while ago, and the trauma was not light, so he wants people from us. I guess he went to the commander's department. When he came, he wanted veterans, so Commander Xue thought of us immediately." Hu Jiaji explained, "He is my old subordinate, and I still know Zhang Tianhai."
"You, you, after talking for a long time, you still want to help your old subordinates... Haha..." Zheng Dongguo smiled and pointed at the Hu family.
"Oh, Master, I'm not doing this just to favor my old subordinates. For example, aren't they responsible for guarding the area around Changsha now? Our troops are still undergoing training, and they probably won't be deployed to the battlefield for a while. , they in Changsha are the front line against the Japanese invaders. If they are rationed and wait for them to show their combat effectiveness first, it will also be a good thing for Changsha. As far as I know, the department is well-equipped and also has heavy equipment such as artillery battalions. , if they fight well on the front line, they may not need our Honorable First Division to step forward to support Changsha." Hu Jiaji analyzed.
"What you said is true and reasonable. To the north of Changsha is Dongting Lake, which is the northern barrier for our entire Hunan. If we keep Changsha intact, we can keep the whole of Hunan intact; if we keep the entire territory of Hunan intact, we can keep Guizhou intact; If Guizhou is not lost, Chongqing will be safe. Furthermore, soldiers must obey orders as their bounden duty." Zheng Dongguo said sternly, his face full of justice.
From Zheng Dongguo's face, Hu Jiaji could see something called righteousness, but he also knew that if the troops of this battalion were allocated to local armies such as the Sichuan Army, the Gui Army, or the Northwest Army, Commander Zheng would probably not I will agree. After all, they have the rules of the direct line of the Central Military Forces and cannot go beyond them.
"Master is wise." Hu Jiaji gave a loud flattery.
For a figure of Hu Jiaji's level, a battalion of troops is neither too much nor too little. The key lies in who is given it - after all, during the battle, facing the menacing and well-armed Japanese army, a single The troops of the battalion can only last for half a day at most. After this time, they basically cease to exist.
The troops of the Honorable First Division are indeed composed of veterans who have returned from injury. Normally, it would be difficult to find these veterans as supplements, but when is this time? When it's time for war, these veterans must be found to supplement them. Hu Jiaji believes that this is what Commander Xue Yue said.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you. After all, we are the old subordinates who are helping you. Go and tell him what we have done for him. Don't let this kid take any favors. All he takes is Commander Xue. If this really has nothing to do with us, I will deal with him urgently." Zheng Dongguo said with a smile, without any blame in his tone, because he felt that he could help his direct troops of the Central Military Commission regain their combat effectiveness. , this is also something that should be done.
Don't forget, the Whampoa Military Academy's motto contains the words "sincerity" and "unity". Therefore, Zheng Dongguo also felt that this was something that should be done.
"Yes! I will obey Master's order." Hu Jiaji grinned.
