After hearing the answer from the special envoy Zhang Zhidong, Yang Xingguo subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Because the limited rifle in his hand has been sold to Yuan Shikai. There is no extra rifle at all and then sold to Zhang Zhidong.

However, Yang Xingguo didn't want to give up such a big business.

Outside the pass where people are rarely visited and resources and materials are very scarce, everything is urgently needed by the Liaodong Army.

Now some people take the initiative to deliver the materials and resources they need to themselves. If they miss it, maybe there is no such good opportunity.

However, I didn't have any extra rifles in my hand to sell them to Zhang Zhidong for exchange for resources and supplies...

Just when Yang Xingguo looked hesitant and thought about solutions.

A very bold idea immediately flashed through Yang Xingguo's mind.

Japan and Russia are in a life-and-death war in Liaodong.

In such a large-scale battle, it can be said that there are weapons as many weapons as you want.

Since I don’t have any extra weapons on hand, I will snatch them from Japan and Russia and become a fisherman in advance...

Thinking of this, Yang Xingguo's eyes lit up and he asked the special envoy directly. "When do you plan to get these rifles... "The faster the better..." The special envoy Zhang Zhidong answered without thinking.

After a brief hesitation, Yang Xingguo decided to say: "Then it will be one month later..."

"However, for this batch of weapons, I want half of the food and half of the money..."

"In addition, you'd better bring hundreds of thousands of taels of silver here. At that time, I'm happy and maybe I can sell you some heavy machine guns and artillery that you can't even buy."

The special envoy's face was happy and replied excitedly: "Commander Xie Yang... In one month, we will deliver the food and silver to Liaozhong through sea transportation."

At the Liaodong Army Headquarters, Yang Xingguo said his thoughts. Sun Lichen, who had gradually adapted to the role of Chief of Staff, reminded Yang Xingguo bluntly.

"Commander, you are betting..."

"Two-thirds of the troops in the entire army are expanding and reorganizing. How can we fight against the two major powers of Japan and Russia in such a short period of time?"

Zhou Zhongju also reminded him worriedly: "Yes. Commander..."

"The two major powers of the Russians and Japan have deployed more than 50,000 troops on the battlefield. As long as our Liaodong Army can move this little force, after entering the battlefield, the entire army may be destroyed without even a splash of water..."

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "The frontal battlefield, whether it is the Japanese or the Russians, we are not opponents..."

"So, even a fool, I will not let my brothers go to the eggs and touch the stones, and fight on the frontal battlefield between the Russians and the Japanese."

Zhou Zhongju, who was relieved, quickly asked: "Then commander, do you want it?"

"We now have three infantry regiments, one cavalry battalion and one field artillery regiment to use." Yang Xingguo analyzed. "I decided to bring two regiments and one cavalry battalion, touch the rear of the Japanese, and take down a Japanese arsenal..."

"In order to win the decisive battle in Liaoyang, the Japanese have transported a large number of weapons and ammunition from the country every day for a month."

"Anyway, these weapons and ammunition were all stored in several counties that were just occupied by the Japanese."

"If we can take one of the county towns and get a Japanese arsenal. We can get it at one time, whether it is a rifle or ammunition."

Sun Liechen frowned and reminded: "Arsenal... Commander, the Japanese will definitely defend the target of the arsenal as big as a large target. You only have two regiments and one cavalry battalion, can you take it down?"

"Also, the Japanese have arranged tens of thousands of people on the front line. If you cannot take down the arsenal in a short time, wait for the Japanese to react, commander you will be surrounded by heavy Japanese troops."

"At that time, the forces of the two regiments will definitely not be able to overcome the Japanese interception..."

"This action is really too dangerous. As the Chief of Staff, I don't agree with this plan!"

Sun Lichen's opposition not only did not arouse Yang Xingguo's slight anger, but also made Yang Xingguo feel very pleased.

Because, Sun Lichen's words have already told Yang Xingguo invisibly.

Sun Lichen has completely integrated into the role of Chief of Staff of the Liaodong Army. Not only that, even Sun Lichen's heart has been tied to the rise and fall of the Liaodong Army and has begun to consider things for the Liaodong Army.

So, at this moment, Yang Xingguo actually laughed. He also laughed very happily.

Just as Sun Lichen and Zhou Zhong raised their faces and showed confusion expressions on their faces, Yang Xingguo spoke.

He asked in his tone as relaxed as possible: "Heavy Army... Chief of Staff, you are too arrogant to the Japanese."

"The Japanese army gathered in Liaozhong with tens of thousands of troops. However, these tens of thousands of Japanese troops were all arranged on positions that confronted the old Russians. Even if the arsenal behind them was important, they wanted to send heavy troops to protect these arsenals, and they did not have any extra troops to send out..."

Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo continued to say to the two: "Don't worry, I, Yang Xingguo, have always been a person who only takes advantage but not suffer losses. I will never be impulsive to take risks with my own lives and thousands of brothers..."

Having said that, Zhou Zhongju and Sun Lichen were obviously relieved.

However, Sun Lechen did not intend to let Yang Xingguo go.

After a brief hesitation, he said to Yang Xingguo: "Commander, I dare not stop you from sticking to this. However, the Intelligence Department must first investigate. After having intelligence, then decide whether to take action..."

"Yes..." Yang Xingguo ordered casually while affirming.

"The Special War Detachment also went over... and ordered Zhang Shanlin to draw 200 team members, and he would lead the team to investigate in person."

"I'll give him five days, and in five days, I'll have a result..."

When Yang Xingguo began to prepare for the next war, the first transaction between the Liaodong Army and the Beiyang New Army had already begun.

Because there is too much food, even if Yuan Shikai is capable, he will not be able to deliver hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain to Liaozhong at one time.

Therefore, the first transaction between the two parties was only 1,000 rifles and 100,000 bullets.

But even so, the Beiyang New Army transported more than 40 million kilograms of grain at one time.

Even if Zhou Zhongju transferred all the carriages that could be used in Liaozhong, it would take a whole day to transport all the food from more than a dozen large ships back to Liaozhong.

The Liaodong Army did not break its promise either.

As soon as the grain was transported, the top ten trucks of weapons and ammunition were sent to the Beiyang New Army for acceptance.

Although these rifles are not brand new, they are still 80% new.

The Beiyang New Army officer led the team picked up an empty rifle without bullets, pulled the bolt, aimed, and pulled the trigger...

After a series of very sophisticated movements, I opened my mouth and sighed.

"A good gun... is simple and practical, and is easier to maintain than the rifle we bought from Germany."

After listening to the officer's evaluation, the envoy Yuan Shikai, who organized the entire transaction, breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
