Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-seven The Problem of the People and Husbands
PS: Ahem... A Ding made a miscalculation in the last chapter. The power of the 155 howitzer is not a radius of 40 square meters, but a radius of 40 meters without any human or animals. Khan... I accidentally wrote it as the explosion of a grenade.
range.
The power of the 155-caliber howitzer conquered everyone present. Chief Li was also very satisfied and immediately asked his adjutant to take out the check and hand it to Suri on the spot.
Taking the two million check, Su Rui smiled inwardly. His expenses during this period were actually quite large. The pension for the fallen soldiers of the 300 Brigade alone was a large amount of money, as well as the disabled soldiers.
The subsidies and follow-up arrangements are also a lot of trouble.
These things alone have accounted for nearly 30% of the profits he has made from selling medicines these days. Now he has made a huge sum of two million from selling sixteen cannons. How can this not make him happy?
Seeing the smile that couldn't be concealed on Su Rui's face, Xu Zuyi couldn't help but joked: 'Commander Su, today you have taken advantage of Duke De's head, aren't you going to show something?'
Su Rui, who had just put the check in his pocket, said boldly: "No problem, I will give you thirty rounds of high-explosive bombs for each gun. That's okay!"
Xu Zuyi silently calculated in his mind, if this was the case, the total attack of sixteen guns would be 480 shells, and these shells were enough for one fire coverage. So he nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "That's about the same!
"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zuyi turned his attention to the ten-wheel trucks passing around him. He rolled his eyes and said, "Zhongxin, otherwise, we won't want the cannonballs you gave us, so you can just
He just needs to equip each of our cannons with one such truck. Do you think that will work? You also know that these artillery pieces are big. Without trucks, we can’t pull them by manpower."
"Chief of Staff Xu, we don't do this."
When Su Rui heard this, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He smiled bitterly and said: "Chief of Staff Xu, these trucks are authentic American goods. They are large trucks with a load of four tons. Each one costs 12,000 oceans. As soon as you say it.
Nearly 192,000 yuan, if this happens, I will lose money in this business."
After all, Chief Li was a kind man. When he saw Su Rui being haggled by Xu Zuyi, he broke into a cold sweat and couldn't help but help him out: "Yan Mou, please don't embarrass Zhongxin. The discount he gave us is enough."
Su Rui glanced at Chief Li gratefully, thought for a while and said: "Mr. De, it's not because the staff department is stingy. This truck is not like a cannonball, and it's not cheap. Well, if you really want it, the staff department can
If I give you twenty trucks, you can just give the ministry an additional 220,000 yuan. This is the biggest concession the ministry can make."
"Well, that's good." Chief Li glanced at Su Rui and nodded with satisfaction. He knew that the price Su Rui gave was already very fair, compared with what those black-hearted foreigners who raised prices sold to Chinese people.
The price has nearly doubled. Nowadays, trucks in China are very rare, and it is often hard to find one. He is a seasoned veteran. These ten-wheel trucks look very solid. If you buy them,
There will be many places where he can play his role in the future.
After negotiating the deal, both parties were happy, and both got what they wanted. Commander Li got the equipment of a heavy artillery regiment, and his strength increased. And Suri got more than two million yuan, and his pockets were bulging again.
After a few minutes, both parties were happy
Su Rui, in particular, was even more happy. This transaction was not just for this one deal. Although Chief Li bought artillery back home, he would have to buy artillery shells in the future. There were 155-caliber artillery shells all over China.
, only Su Rui can be sold, and the money from the shells alone will be a steady source of money in the future. When doing business, the only way to do business is to make a steady stream of money, and those who only do one-off transactions are destined to fail to achieve great things.
of.
After completing the deal, Su Rui, who was in a good mood, sent dozens of trucks to help Sun Lianzhong transfer his 2,000 rifles, 50 Maxims, 30 mortars and the corresponding 300,000 rounds of ammunition and
One thousand artillery shells were delivered to the 31st Division's garrison.
After discussing the business, Su Rui left everyone behind for a light meal before sending the big guys away.
When Su Rui sent everyone out of the military camp, he returned to the brigade headquarters combat command room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Liang Zhi sitting aside and looking at him. Although he couldn't see the look on his face, Su Rui could tell from the
It could be seen in his eyes that he, the chief of staff of Liang Da, was still in a good mood.
Liang Zhi had been in the 300 Brigade for quite some time. Because of his shrewdness and ability, Su Rui also valued him more and more. The regiment and battalion commanders below also secretly had a secret feeling about this straightforward and ruthless chief of staff.
He is called "Iron-faced Wolf with Heart", which means that not only is he ruthless on the outside, but he is actually even more ruthless in his heart.
Su Rui sat down next to Liang Zhi, picked up the water glass on the table and drank the boiling water in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and asked: "My Chief of Staff Liang, how is this deal going?"
Like? You won’t lose money, right?”
Liang Zhi nodded and said with approval: "Yes, by sending weapons to Chief Sun, he owes you a big favor, and also selling artillery to Chief Li. This not only pleases Chief Li, but also builds our reputation. It is a great achievement."
Three arrows and three eagles!"
Regarding this matter, Liang Zhi also had to praise Su Rui for doing a good job. It was very beneficial for the 300 Brigade, which had almost no foundation, to have good relations with the big bosses in these war zones.
Coming to the fifth theater, the 300 Brigade is no longer a lonely ghost at the mercy of others.
But from beginning to end, Liang Zhi never asked Su Rui about the origin of these weapons. Because he could see clearly that Commander Su seemed to have no scheming and used people casually, but there was one thing he did very well.
To be clear, that is to clearly separate the power to lead troops and the power to provide logistical support.
All the officers in charge of the army, including him, are only responsible for leading troops to fight, and they don't need to worry about anything else. The logistics officers are only responsible for transporting supplies, and they don't want to interfere with military matters. As for Su Rui's relationship with foreign companies and the channels for transporting military supplies
Suri even grabbed it personally. Except for the mute foreign officer Smith, no one knew the origin of the weapon. Even he, the second-in-command of the 300 Brigade, had no idea.
In this way, it can be said that Su Rui has firmly controlled the 300 Brigade in his hands. If someone wants to betray the enemy or take his subordinates to change jobs, he will soon find that the gun in his hand will not be used for long.
They will become a pile of scrap metal because they have no ammunition. And the first ones to oppose them must be those soldiers who have been fed up by Suri with a lot of money.
Seeing Liang Zhi's rare compliment, Su Rui smiled but remained silent. To be honest, Su Rui was not good at how to manage an army, but Su Rui, who had studied management in later generations, at least knew that in fact, management
There are similarities between an army and later generations managing a company. The key to a company is nothing more than financial and personnel rights, and the same goes for an army. That is to master the distribution rights of military supplies and the personnel rights of the army. As long as we grasp the
Without these two things, this army will not be able to escape.
The two were silent for a while, and then Su Rui ordered: "Brother Ziran, we have just returned from Linyi. I estimate that we will have a few days of peace and quiet, so you must take advantage of these few days to recruit our full staff first."
, it doesn’t matter even if some of them are overstaffed, we can incorporate them into the civilian staff.”
No one who leads troops despises having too many soldiers under his command, they only despise having too few soldiers, and Su Rui is no exception to this.
There are strict regulations on the establishment of the army, and over-staffing is not allowed. However, there is no limit on the number of civilians who accompany the army to help carry goods or do handymen. As long as you can afford it, you can recruit them. That's why Su Rui ordered Liang Zhi like this.
.
Liang Zhi thought for a while and said: "Sir, the cost of recruiting civilian husbands is not low. A civilian husband does not even have to eat and drink for a day, and he has to pay his salary. If we open up the cost of recruiting us, it will be very high.
Are you sure you want to do this?"
What Liang Zhi said is indeed the truth. Although the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs and other higher-ups will not allocate a dime to the troops below regardless of how many civilians they recruit. Therefore, the number of civilians recruited by the general army will not be too many, even for a brigade.
It's just a few hundred people, that's enough.
"Yeah, that's what you said!"
Su Rui thought for a while and then said: "Let's do this. Ziran, you first recruit four thousand civilians. They will work when there is work. If there is no work, let them participate in training. The content of the training is the same as that of the army. In this way, it will be used
I estimate that I will be able to become a qualified soldier in a few months, do you think this will work?"
When Liang Zhi heard this, he immediately said with a bit of laughter and tears: "But aren't you worried that these civilian workers will leave after they are trained? You must know that they are just civilian workers we hired, not soldiers. If they are not satisfied, they can leave at any time.
.Otherwise, do you think that the method you think of will not be thought of by others?"
"But have you ever thought about whether those civilians are willing to leave?" Su Rui asked with a smile.
"Well……"
Liang Zhi was stunned, yes. If these civilians were still willing to leave after being given such high treatment, they could only blame the 300 Brigade for their poor treatment.
Without waiting for Liang Zhi to answer, Su Rui sneered: "They eat our food, wear our clothes, and receive high salaries. When they need to go to the battlefield, they have to support me, otherwise I will eat for nothing."
Do you want to raise such a bunch of idle people?"
Liang Zhi thought for a while, then nodded in agreement: "Yes... okay, I'll do it right now!"
