Chu Yunfei was already very satisfied with this business at this time.
Because the Eighth Route Army was able to defeat Yuncheng on its own, and had nothing to do with the Jinsui Army, he originally thought that it would be good if the Jinsui Army brought artillery into the war and could get one-third, but now it is half on one side.
But Chu Yunfei didn't expect that the good show was yet to come.
"Brother Chu!" Li Yunlong complained while serving Chu Yunfei a full glass of wine: "You don't know, it's really not easy for our Eighth Route Army. The grain was robbed by several blockades over there, and the grain harvest here is poor. Still.
Your Jinsui Army is so good. Not only can you receive food from the people, but you can also get money and equipment from the superiors. I can't even envy you!"
"Brother Yunlong is joking." Chu Yunfei didn't take Li Yunlong's words seriously. He glanced at Wang Xuexin and said, "Aren't you all related to Mao Xiong and Yingjiang? Are you going to be short of food?"
"Hey, you don't understand this!" Li Yunlong put on a bitter face and said: "We are all trading with Mao Xiong and Yingjiang, either using technology or real money, which can be exchanged for tanks or production lines.
Who is willing to change a mouthful of food? No, the little grain we have saved will not last until next year's harvest, and everyone is drinking sweet potato soup!"
Then Li Yunlong approached Chu Yunfei again and said, "How about Brother Chu help with some more food?"
Chu Yunfei didn't know what kind of medicine Li Yunlong was selling in this gourd, but he still cooperated and replied: "I'm sorry, Brother Yunlong! Chu is also a errand, earning military pay to make ends meet.
There is nothing I can do to help, there is nothing I can do to help!"
After a pause, Chu Yunfei tentatively said: "Unless Brother Yunlong has something valuable, then Chu can discuss it with the commander!"
"Yes, yes..." Li Yunlong raised his head towards Wang Xuexin and said, "Xiao Dongbei, show those things of yours to our Captain Chu!"
So Wang Xuexin told Chu Yunfei all about bullet mines, directional mines, etc.
But of course, Chu Yunfei was not interested.
It’s not that these things are bad, but they are easy to imitate given the capabilities of the Jinsui Army.
Why buy one if you can imitate it?
In what age do we still need to pay you royalties?
Among them, the only thing that cannot be imitated is sticky gasoline bombs.
Li Yunlong also strongly recommended gasoline bombs.
"Brother Chu!" Li Yunlong proudly raised his thumb and shook it, tilting his head and said: "Don't look down on this sticky gasoline bomb, it doesn't even have Eagle Sauce. We rely on this thing to get in touch with Eagle Sauce. You know
How much did this thing cost?"
"Oh, really?" Chu Yunfei asked curiously: "How much is it?"
Li Yunlong stretched out his palm and raised five fingers.
"Fifty thousand?" Chu Yunfei was a little surprised. If it were US dollars, it wouldn't be too small.
Li Yunlong smiled and shook his head.
"Half a million?" Chu Yunfei couldn't believe it. Just one gasoline bomb could be sold for half a million dollars. Is Yingjiang stupid?
Li Yunlong laughed "hehe" and said: "It's five million dollars!"
As he spoke, he took a sip from the wine bowl and shouted proudly: "Brother Chu, you don't know how happy it is, let alone how happy it is. Our production line and everything else were all paid for with this thing!"
Chu Yunfei was a little confused. One gasoline bomb could exchange for so many things? Then this gasoline bomb must have some tricks.
But in the end Chu Yunfei still didn't respond.
Li Yunlong and Wang Xuexin had expected this a long time ago.
Wang Xuexin had discussed this issue with Li Yunlong before... Yingjiang needed gasoline bombs because they could be used to drop aerial bombs on planes in batches. The Jinsui Army had no planes, so it naturally didn't need them.
Another example is using incendiary bombs to attack bunkers and gun towers like the Eighth Route Army... The Jinsui Army has howitzers, so there is no need to engage in close combat.
Therefore, the needs of the Jin-Sui Army are irrelevant to both ends, and it is useless to buy them. The same goes for the Stubborn Army.
The reason why Li Yunlong spent so much time talking about it was actually because he was planning to sell Yuncheng in a roundabout way... If he were to sell it directly, Chu Yunfei would definitely be suspicious. Now after all the hard sales, there was really no other way.
Only by selling Yuncheng can there be no leakage.
After Chu Yunfei refused, Li Yunlong's face became a little confused.
"Brother Chu!" Li Yunlong said, "You are so uninteresting. You don't buy anything. We are so hungry that we are skin and bones without food. We have guns and bullets in our hands but we can't use our strength!"
"Brother Yunlong!" Chu Yunfei replied half-jokingly: "It's not that I don't want to buy it, but I don't have any use for what you are selling. Chu can't go to the commander for business! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"How about this!" Li Yunlong put down the wine bowl and said, "Brother Chu, please clear the way. I want food. Tell me what you want. Let's make a deal. What do you think?"
Chu Yunfei thought for a while and said, "I do have something I want, but I'm afraid... Brother Yunlong won't do this deal!"
"It doesn't matter what you say!" Li Yunlong raised his head: "Business and business, there is buying and selling, only if you are willing to buy and I am willing to sell can we make it happen!"
Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "How about Brother Chu take over the east gate of Yuncheng..."
"How can this work!" Li Yunlong pretended to be surprised: "Brother Chu, aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass me? I have already let the west gate out, and you still want the east gate..."
"Let me just say it!" Chu Yunfei said: "I am willing to buy it, but Brother Yunlong may not be willing to sell it!"
Li Yunlong's expression became serious, and the wine bowl in his hand was so heavy that he couldn't lift it. After a while, he asked Zhao Gang in a muffled voice: "Old Zhao, you said... if all of us starve to death,
Why are you still defending the city?"
Zhao Gang didn't expect Li Yunlong to make this move. He said "ah" and then said: "Old Li, isn't this right? If we take the city, there will be people. If there are people, won't there be food?"
Wang Xuexin felt funny, and Zhao Gang also acted.
"Political Commissar Zhao!" Chu Yunfei retorted: "What you said is wrong. Let the Japanese occupy the city, and the people will be plundered. Even if we take it back... I'm afraid there will be nothing in the hands of the people.
A few grains of grain! Not only will there be no grain, but there will be many more mouths to eat!"
Li Yunlong objected: "Isn't this right, Brother Chu! The common people don't have it in their hands, but the Japs have it in the warehouse! I heard that the Japs use Yuncheng as a supply base for Zhongtiao Mountain, and there must be a lot of stuff in the warehouse! Not only
Food, as well as rifles, bullets, artillery shells, and maybe even tanks!"
Chu Yunfei pretended to be generous at this time: "If your army is willing to hand over Yuncheng to our army, even if all the supplies in the warehouse are given to your army...what's the harm?"
When Chu Yunfei said this, he thought to himself, these bumpkins only think about food and ammunition, they don't know how important this Yuncheng is!
But it's no wonder that the Eighth Route Army was used to fighting guerrillas and digging tunnels in mountainous areas, so how could they know this.
