Chapter 68 Gentlemen's Agreement
Chapter 68: Gentleman Agreement
Zhang Xuewu knew very well that this huge amount of opium was worthless in his hands, who was in a hurry to be short of funds. The "buying" he proposed to Chiang Kai-shek before had never had the opportunity to implement it. So far, Zhang Xuewu did not have a complete "buying" plan in his mind. To put it bluntly, he was short of money, and he was very, very short of money, so that Zhang Xuewu never felt that his hunger for money would make people fall into madness in his life.
Undoubtedly, selling big smoke is equivalent to drinking poison to quench thirst. However, in the face of the Japanese invaders' selfless ambitions, even drinking poison to quench thirst, Zhang Xuewu could only let it go. Before, Zhang Xuewu had always wanted to build a unit with a high mechanization component, and in the future large-scale corps battles, he used the tactics of rapid interweaving and division to give the Japanese army a fierce blow, using tactics to influence the strategy, so that the strategic forms of the enemy and us will change the historical process.
However, Tang Ziqiang, a mechanized regiment with experimental nature, disappointed Zhang Xuewu. One reason was that he lacked suitable tanks, and the other was that the backward industrial level in the country made him extremely worried. Not to mention the engines used by the tanks, even the gears in the gearbox can only be produced in the forging workshop of the Jinling Arsenal, and the quality and specifications often do not match.
Once the parts of the tank are damaged, it is like imported weapons in later generations that require waiting for accessories, shells, barrels, tracks, transmission mechanisms, driving mechanisms, and driving mechanisms. Whether it is overall casting or welding, the turret with riveting technology cannot be independently produced and maintained. Faced with the ever-changing battlefield situation, once the mechanized troops lose their advantage in mobility, the base will be held to a dead end, and it is probably not far from the end of the entire army.
Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said calmly to Zhou Ying: "Since you can bring hundreds of big trucks to carry out the so-called labor force today, I am afraid you have already prepared to transport the goods? If I propose the conditions now, you can satisfy me, and I will take away the things, and I will send a battalion of cavalry to escort you back?"
Zhou Ying didn't expect that Zhang Xuewu would directly offer the conditions? Instead of waiting for tomorrow morning, Zhou Ying knew that women are rare to be cherished in the eyes of men like Zhang Xuewu, especially those who are more proactive like her are even more unreserved. She was slightly stunned and said with a heart: "Please speak!"
Zhang Xuewu nodded and said, "I guess your boss has a certain influence in Shanghai and China, right? Is it considered 20% of the loss of this batch of goods normal to pass the goods?"
Zhou Ying smiled slightly and said, "The second percent is not much. If Teacher Zhang is willing to give convenience, the little girl will be really grateful!"
Zhang Xuewu smiled and said, "But I have one condition, that is, 20% of mine will be exchanged for US dollars or marks. Can you do it by purchasing arms in Germany?"
Zhou Ying was surprised and said, "Captain Zhang, you can tell the Central Army that the weapons and materials of the Central Army are allocated by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Why do you need to buy them yourself? Could it be that Commander Zhang also wants to be the king and break the land and the princes?"
Zhou Ying's unrestrained laughter made Zhang Xuewu frown and said unhappy: "If Miss Zhou can't meet my conditions, please go back! I will publicly destroy this batch of big smoke tomorrow morning."
Zhou Ying didn't expect that Zhang Xuewu would turn against him faster than reading books, so she said a little resentful: "Teacher Zhang really doesn't care about the beauty. He doesn't even give any face to a weak woman?"
Zhang Xuewu sneered: "Wulnerable woman? I'm afraid this is not suitable for Miss Zhou? Leading the convoy to go all the way into the war zone, so there is no fear of any accidents? You should know that in Rehe, soldiers are bandits, bandits are soldiers! You can even bite Miss Zhou without even taking off your military uniforms. Do you believe it? You won't really naively think that these tens of millions of oceans can be easily transported away by your more than 200 people? Another 300 kilograms of gold and seven million in oceans? If my cousin or Zhang Zuxiang and anyone of Tang Yulin knows, you Miss Zhou will become an affiliated toy. In the end, you will be rewarded to those soldiers, and you will not even have a trace of meat left."
Zhou Ying heard Zhang Xuewu's words and immediately started a cold war. No wonder the gentleman told him that even if he paid 50% of the goods, he would have to send troops to escort him. Dayang and Huang Jin were not mentioned at all. The bastard named Li obviously wanted to kill him on his back. His heart was so vicious!
Zhou Ying realized that she was at an absolute disadvantage. The soldiers and bandits in Rehe dared to rob and kill even the administrative corps of the Nanjing government, let alone tens of millions of opium. I am afraid that the gentleman in Shanghai was also very clear, so he deliberately let the new first division seize it. Otherwise, if Zhang Xuewu took office as the commander of the security, there would be a problem here? Thinking of this, Zhou Ying straightened out her thinking. In the war in Rehe, the goods will increase by at least seven or eight times in Shanghai. Even if half of them are lost, it will definitely make huge profits. However, the premise is that the freight can be transported back to Shanghai. You must know that gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times are the most valuable things, especially at this time, opium is called black gold, which is a hard currency that can rank before the US dollar.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ying calmed down and still forced a smile, "Master Zhang is afraid that he will scare the little girl! Please tell me what conditions you have! I believe that Master Zhang must be the one who sent the Buddha to the West."
Zhang Xuewu nodded and said, "The weapons I want you to buy are not simple rifles, machine guns and other light weapons, which may include Germany's most advanced tanks, fifteen-heavy grenades, semi-track tractors and other related accessories. Can you do it?"
Zhou Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I say I can do it at this moment, do you believe in Teacher Zhang? Even if the Germans have them willing to sell these things to us?"
Zhang Xuewu smiled slightly and said, "These are not the questions I should consider. I will only ask you, Miss Zhou can do it?"
Zhou Ying said helplessly: "The current situation is that people are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the one
Zhang Xuewu nodded with satisfaction, picked up the phone and said, "Is the combat department duty room? Let the first regiment unload the labor supplies, load all the special materials and oceans and gold into the vehicle, notify the division headquarters cavalry battalion to stand by, and order Tang Zhiqiang, deputy commander of the Mechanization Regiment, to lead half of the company to follow and protect it."
Zhang Xuewu's successive orders made Zhou Ying completely relieved. She finally fulfilled her mission and did not disappoint her husband! It seemed that it was time for her to give.
Zhou Ying calmed down her mood. She originally wanted to stay with Zhang Xuewu and let him become her own man. She had been looking for an appropriate opportunity for this precious first time. She had no suitable opportunity when she was in Nanjing. However, after this contact, Zhou Ying had no choice but to find Zhang Xuewu was not something she could control! Perhaps this is the fate of a woman! It is difficult to be a human being in this troubled time, and it is even more difficult to be a woman.
A drop of crystal tears flashed at the corner of Zhou Ying's eyes. Her hands were trembling slightly unbuttoning her clothes. Her body was still the same as before, but was she still herself?
When Zhou Ying turned around with her eyes closed, waiting for the man like a wolf to pounce on her and tear her apart, what she heard was a scream, a coat draped over her?
Zhang Xuewu said slightly annoyed: "The premise of my love for women is that you are willing to wear your clothes quickly! Don't catch a cold in such a cold day!"
He was actually afraid that he would catch a cold? Zhou Ying felt a little grateful. Maybe he could be considered a gentleman! A gentleman who would not take advantage of others' danger? Maybe!
Zhang Xuewu lit a cigarette for himself and said leisurely: "This is a gentleman agreement between you and me. I will pretend to be all the goods for you. It is useless to keep them here. If I, Mr. Zhang, still have a breath in this battle, Miss Zhou, you and your boss will start to consider how to fulfill your promise! If I sacrifice my life for the country, our agreement will be invalid!"
Zhou Ying was slightly stunned. This was the first time she saw a general talking about her life and death so frankly. She wanted to comfort Zhang Xuewu for a few words, but she didn't know where to start. She hesitated for a while before saying: "The warlords fought in a melee, and the Central Plains had not seen a few regiment commanders. The brigade commander was killed, let alone the division commander. Moreover, you are a dignified elite army of the Central Army, so you will never be like this."
