Half an hour later, Captain Wang slumped down on his chair with a tired look on his face.
Negotiating with Huang Yu is too tiring.
If you keep digging holes for yourself, you will step into them if you are not careful, losing your wife and losing your troops.
As a result, Captain Wang had to work up his energy to bargain with Huang Yu.
"Captain Wang... let me inform you of the results of our negotiations just now: a battalion commander is worth 750 dollars, and we have captured four battalion-level officers, a total of 3,000 dollars."
"A company-level officer is worth 200 yuan, and we captured 18 of them in total, a total of 3,900 yuan!"
"A platoon-level officer was worth fifty dollars, and we captured a total of sixty-two, for a total of three thousand one hundred dollars!"
"Twenty dollars for a squad leader. We captured a total of 253 people. After excluding fractions, the total is five thousand dollars!"
"Considering the initial establishment of your army, you will definitely need a large number of veterans as the backbone!"
"If Captain Wang needs it, we can give your regiment another 600 former soldiers of the 354th Regiment at the rate of five yuan per person, for a total of three thousand yuan!"
"A total of eighteen thousand yuan!"
Captain Wang's heart was bleeding, but Huang Yu's previous analysis was not wrong.
If we don't redeem these officers and veterans, we have to start everything from scratch, train officers ourselves, rebuild the 354th Regiment, and spend 30,000 to 40,000 oceans to do it.
With Chief Yan's stingy character, as long as he analyzes the gains and losses and makes Chief Yan feel that he has saved money, he will definitely be willing to pay this huge sum of money.
He reluctantly replied: "I agree..."
"Next let's discuss the equipment issue..."
"Without equipment, no matter how many officers and soldiers I have, the 354th Regiment will not be able to form a combat effectiveness!"
Huang Yu said bluntly: "As long as Commander Wang is willing to pay...Rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenades, mortars, everything!"
"Even if you want mountain artillery and Japanese-equipped infantry artillery, I can get them for you."
"But you also know...weapons and equipment are also very important to our Eighth Route Army...many times you may not be able to buy good equipment with money...so the price must be a bit expensive!"
As soon as Commander Wang heard this, a bad premonition flashed through his mind and he asked nervously.
"Deputy Chief of Staff Wang makes the price first... As long as the price is right, Wang will buy some firearms out of his own pocket!"
"A rifle sells for 40 yuan a piece... A light machine gun sells for 380 yuan a piece... A heavy machine gun sells for 1,200 yuan a piece, a mortar sells for 2,000 yuan a piece, an infantry gun sells for 4,000 yuan a piece, and a mountain cannon.
Five thousand yuan per door, ammunition not included..."
“The price is fixed, there is no room for bargaining!”
"After all, our independent group also lacks weapons!"
"Deputy Chief of Staff Huang... you are robbing money, not selling equipment..." Captain Wang was frightened by the price and shouted in disbelief.
"It has to be half the price before we have any need to continue the negotiation...otherwise I would have gone to the war zone to buy a new gun at this price!"
Huang Yu shook his head: "I have to remind Commander Wang: In the past, you could indeed buy a new gun at this price..."
"But it's wartime now, and weapons are needed everywhere... It's good if you can buy weapons at the price I'm offering!"
"To put it bluntly, if I announce this price, there will definitely be a lot of people carrying oceans to grab the gun... I only offer this friendly price because the 354th Regiment is our friendly army..."
"If other people want to buy guns from our independent group, we won't sell them at twice the price!"
Captain Wang knew that what Huang Yu said made sense, but the price he offered was indeed too expensive... If he didn't talk about it, Commander Yan would not agree even if he came.
Looking at Huang Yu, he looked confused: "It's too expensive, we can't afford it!"
"I have a way to solve Captain Wang's urgent need. I don't know if Captain Wang wants to hear it!" Huang Yu suddenly changed the subject and said mysteriously.
"Speak quickly!" Captain Wang asked anxiously, thinking of treating a dead horse as a living horse.
"I have a batch of old guns and broken guns with almost smooth rifling. I wonder if Captain Wang is interested!" Huang Yu introduced with a smile.
"An old gun that can fire but has smooth rifling costs ten dollars a piece, probably more than two hundred."
"There are six to seven hundred rifles that were damaged by the bombing. I will charge you two thousand yuan!"
"There are also twenty or thirty damaged light and heavy machine guns, several damaged infantry guns, and mortars, which are worth a thousand yuan at a discount..."
"If Captain Wang is interested in sex, I will give it all to you for only five thousand dollars!"
Captain Wang was dissatisfied and asked: "Deputy Chief of Staff Huang, are you humiliating me?"
"No matter how difficult the situation is, the 354th Regiment will not use broken guns to show off... If they go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese, those broken guns are worse than fire sticks. What use do I want them to do!"
Huang Yu shook his head: "Commander Wang, don't be angry...these broken guns are indeed of no use to equip the troops, but Commander Wang can send them to the Jinsui Army Headquarters to be dealt with as battle damage!"
"I ask Commander Yan for equipment for no reason, and Commander Yan will definitely not give it to me!"
"But if you take a weapon that was damaged on the battlefield and exchange it for a better one, the command headquarters has no reason to refuse, and it doesn't dare to refuse rashly. Otherwise, in order to prevent the weapon from being blown up in the future, no troops will dare to go to the battlefield to fight against the Japanese!"
One word awakens the dreamer.
The Eighth Route Army was not a direct descendant of Commander Yan, and it was guarding the Eighth Route Army from all aspects. For fear that the Eighth Route Army would continue to grow and develop, the Eighth Route Army's ammunition supply and military pay would have been cut off.
Weapons and ammunition that cannot be repaired have no other use than being disposed of as scrap metal.
It will be different if it is handed over to the 354th Regiment.
Commander Wang is a confidant of Commander Yan, and the logistics department of the Jinsui Army will definitely not dare to embarrass him.
As long as he is willing, he can always send the scrap metal he bought at a low price to the headquarters as battle damage and exchange it for better guns, and then he will have the equipment of the 354th Regiment.
He nodded immediately: "I agree with Deputy Chief of Staff Huang's proposal!"
"Purchase all the scrap firearms in your hands for five thousand oceans, the more the better!"
After hesitating for half a minute, he continued: "I also want to buy the evidence from your army that the 354th Regiment was incorporated by the Japanese... Please give Deputy Chief of Staff Huang a price!"
Huang Yu was worried about how to get more benefits from Captain Wang, but he didn't expect that he would bring it up himself. In spite of his excitement, he forced himself to answer calmly!
"Five thousand dollars!"
"A few pieces of paper cost 5,000 yuan... It's too much. I'll give you 3,000 yuan at most..." Captain Wang hesitated before answering.
This is a secret mission assigned to him by Chief Yan. No matter what the cost, he must get the evidence from the Independent Regiment to prevent them from using this matter to blackmail the Jinsui Army and suppress the newly established 354th Regiment.
"Then let's each take a step back. The price is four thousand yuan!" Huang Yu said in a compromise!
Spending 4,000 yuan to buy peace of mind and eliminate the hidden dangers of the 3, 5, and 4 regiments was worth it no matter how you calculated it. Captain Wang no longer hesitated and nodded on the spot.
"I agree, just four thousand yuan..."
"But I have a request!" Huang Yu suddenly interrupted!
"Let's trade prisoners first, then trade equipment, and finally trade evidence..."
"Pay one hand and deliver the goods..."
"A total of 27,000 yuan, all of which are traded in small yellow croakers to facilitate transportation!"
Commander Wang left the assault camp in a hurry. As soon as he disappeared from everyone's sight, Kong Jie looked at Huang Yu, with a shocked expression on his face and said with emotion: "You are such a profiteer... If you hadn't joined the Eighth Route Army and gone to hurt people, you would definitely be able to do it."
Make big money!"
"When I was selling those scrap coppers and iron just now, I was stunned for a moment when I said that!"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that those broken guns that could only be treated as scrap metal could be sold... Judging from Captain Wang's reaction, he seems to think that he has made a lot of money!"
"This is so unexpected!"
"Your mouth is even more powerful than that of Li Yunlong. You can turn anything black into white!"
"I will send a telegram to the brigade commander now..."
"He is also paying attention to our negotiations with the 354th Regiment!"
"If he knew that we exchanged a bunch of useless prisoners and damaged weapons for 27,000 yuan, he would definitely go crazy with joy!"
The brigade headquarters and Chief of Staff Zhou's first reaction after receiving the telegram was disbelief.
After rubbing his eyes and covering his eyes for a long time, he sighed to Brigadier Chen: "Brigadier Commander, why do I feel that Comrade Huang Yu is not only the lucky star of the Independent Regiment, but also the God of Wealth of the Independent Regiment..."
"A bunch of useless prisoners can be replaced by him into a white ocean!"
"There are also those damaged weapons and ammunition...if we dispose of them as scrap metal, we will be able to get back two to three hundred yuan. Thank God!"
"In Huang Yu's hands, he actually got back five thousand yuan..."
"This is simply better than turning stone into gold...it's amazing!"
Brigadier Chen nodded: "Comrade Huang Yu is a person who is good at creating miracles and surprises."
"From the moment he took the initiative to negotiate with the 354th Group, I knew that this guy would not stop until he squeezed out a layer of oil from the 354th Group... I just didn't expect that he would bring back such a big deal!"
"Not only will the newly appointed Commander Wang of the 354th Regiment bleed, but Commander Yan who was elected in southwest Shanxi will also bleed heavily!"
"Including the financial assets seized from the Independent Regiment's raid on the headquarters of the 354th Regiment, the funds held by the Independent Regiment have exceeded 160,000 yuan!"
"This is too much money, and it is not a good thing to put it all in their hands!"
"Call Kong Jie right away: Immediately prepare 150,000 yuan and send it to the brigade headquarters, and we will hand it over to the general headquarters!"
"Only in the hands of the chief can they play their greatest role!"
"By the way, I would like to remind Kong Jie: "They have been in the limelight too much during this period...first defeated the Japs, and then thwarted the Japs' move to integrate the Shanxi-Sui Army, causing Yoshio Shinozuka to lose his wife and troops!"
"With the traitor's vengeful nature, we will definitely not let them go easily!"
"Let them expand their troops and strengthen their vigilance when preparing for war!"
"The Japanese cannot use conspiracy to deal with the Independent Regiment, so they will definitely use conspiracy to deal with them..."
"The Yamamoto special agent team that was wiped out by them before is a lesson from the past... You must not be too happy and end up with a tragic ending!"
"I heard that both Li Yunlong and Ding Wei secretly defeated many Japanese troops' efforts to integrate the Shanxi-Sui Army and gained a lot...send them a copy of the same reminder telegram!"
