"Lao Yu, tell me how to solve this machine tool problem?"
The chief of staff saw that he was being called out by the chief. He had no choice but to stand up and answer.
"Chief, I read that Director Su can make machine tools by himself, so we just need to find a way to get a batch of raw materials for Director Su."
Compared with complete and advanced machine tools, it is undoubtedly much simpler to obtain the raw materials for manufacturing machine tools.
Hearing this, the chief shook his head in disappointment.
"I mean, do you have any other ideas? I have already thought of this. It will definitely take some time to make machine tools from raw materials."
"If possible, it would be best to get a batch of complete machine tools and send them directly to start mass manufacturing of DP light machine guns."
In response, Staff Officer Yu shook his head with emotion.
"Reporting to the chief, I have no better solution for the time being."
There was no other way, so the chief signaled the chief of staff to sit down, and then looked at the other person.
"Old Sun, what do you think?"
"Reporting to the chief, my thoughts are the same as those of Staff Officer Yu."
"Old Qin, do you have any good ideas?"
"Reporting to the head, I haven't thought of it yet."
For a while, the chief asked several people in succession, and the answers he got were all the same. They all said that he had not thought of a better way.
Seeing that no good solution could be found, the commander was about to leave the meeting, but at this moment, the commander of the 129th Division stood up and said.
"Chief, I have a good idea."
The commander of the 129th Division cheered up the leader and asked curiously in an instant.
"Oh? What's your idea?"
"Chief, have you forgotten the Fourth Division of the Little Devil? We can ask the Fourth Division of the Little Devil to purchase a batch of machine tools."
"Fourth Division?"
When he heard this name, the chief's eyes lit up, yes! How could he forget about the little devil army?
Speaking of this army, his reputation is huge. Of course, it is not a reputation gained through fighting, but rather a result of business.
Looking at all the little Japanese troops, only the fourth division is the most bizarre, even though it has the title of a Class A division.
But its combat effectiveness can be said to be hard to describe. The fourth division of the Little Devils is also called the Osaka Division and the Merchant Division, which can be seen from this name.
What the Fourth Division of the Little Devils is best at is not fighting, but doing business, when other Little Devils troops are fighting fiercely on the front line.
The Fourth Division is doing business in the rear area. The most important thing is that the Fourth Division never cares about the people it does business with.
Even if they are enemies, as long as the money is in place, they can still sell various weapons, equipment, supplies, etc. to each other.
It is said that as long as the money is given enough, the emperor can sell it. It can be seen that from the perspective of the Fourth Division, there is nothing that money cannot solve.
If there is, then the money is not enough. Simply put, as long as you have money, you can buy anything from the Fourth Division.
It is precisely because of this that the fourth division of the Little Devils was nicknamed by the United States as the peace messenger in World War II.
They are obviously the ace army of the little devils, but they only love doing business. As for fighting? Sorry, if there is no death order from above.
Then this Fourth Division will never fire a single shot. In their view, life is their own, and there is only one life. Once they die, that person is truly gone.
.............
Therefore, in the battle between the Osaka Division and the Chinese army, the principle of "I will not go to hell, whoever loves me will go to hell" was adhered to.
When it comes to fighting, you have to do whatever you can. If you accidentally encounter a counterattack by the Chinese army, then the Osaka Division will directly drop its weapons and equipment.
He just ran away, as fast as he could. As for why he had to throw away his weapons and equipment? That's not because you can run faster with empty hands.
In summary, the Chinese troops have a good impression of this Osaka Division, after all, every time they fight.
The Osaka Division will send them a large amount of weapons and equipment. On the other hand, the little devils are quite resentful of the Osaka Division.
It is for these reasons that the chief feels that the Fourth Division can solve their current predicament.
After all, for a unit that can even sell weapons and equipment directly, what does a few machine tools mean?
But what lies ahead is how to solve the problem of funds. The Eighth Route Army is poor not only in weapons and equipment, but also in funds.
Good guy, now the thing that gives the chief a headache has changed again, from advanced machine tools to funds, so the chief looked at the division commander in front of him and said.
"This is a solution, but how to solve the funding problem?"
Upon hearing this, the commander of the 129th Division smiled mysteriously.
"Chief, have you forgotten that we have placed some people in the Central Army? Several of them are already in high positions."
"These people can easily use their power to get us a batch of funds. As long as they are careful, they will not be discovered."
"At the same time, there are many comrades from the underground party. They have developed a lot of businesses, so they can raise a sum of funds."
"In this way, we will have a fund to purchase advanced machine tools from the Fourth Division of the Little Devils."
It has to be said that this proposal went to the heart of the chief and made him very satisfied.
It seems that his decision to hold this meeting was correct. No, let's sit together and discuss it a little.
In just a few moments, the headache he had was solved, and the chief nodded immediately.
"Well, your idea is good, but to be on the safe side, we can also use our own connections to get the batch of raw materials that Comrade Xiao Su needs."
"Two-pronged approach, get as many machine tools as possible. Only in this way can we increase the production of this light machine gun. Okay, let's break up."
"Yes! Chief."
Ever since, after the meeting ended, the entire headquarters of the Eighth Route Army began to get busy.
While the headquarters office was busy, Su Bei on the other side was not idle either. At this time, he looked at the words "Level 1" displayed in the upper right corner of the system mall.
This made him very curious, and Su Bei also discovered that there were only weapons and equipment from this period in the entire system mall.
To be precise, it is weapons and equipment from before 1945, but not a single weapon and equipment after that can be found in the system mall.
