"What? How much? How is that possible?" Mr. Zhou stood up, and General Peng next to him also stood up in surprise.
"Hahaha, you see." The great man laughed loudly, handed the telegram to the two people, and said, "You see for yourselves."
Mr. Zhou took the telegram, read it, and said, "Are you sure the people below didn't report a mistake? This is enough to equip our existing troops."
"I suddenly remembered that the Japanese lost a large amount of supplies in Nanjing." General Peng frowned and said, "It seems that this little guy is really capable."
"The most important thing is that he promised that if we eat them all, he will be responsible for transporting the equipment to our base." Mr. Zhou put down the telegram and sighed, "What an amazing young man."
"Haha, not bad." The great man looked very happy. The equipment problem has always been a big problem for them to develop their troops. Now with this batch of equipment, he can immediately pull up a team of nearly 150,000 people. "But the problem is, with our
With the financial resources, it is obviously difficult to purchase all the equipment.”
"No, you must eat it." General Peng said, "Even if you drink porridge every day and every meal from now on, you still have to eat this batch of equipment."
"Lao Peng is right." Mr. Zhou sighed. He had always been in charge of financial management in the organization. Now that he saw this batch of equipment, he was happy but also distressed at how much it cost. "It's just that according to the list,
The price is such that even if we sell all of us, we still can’t make up the money.”
"Eh." The great man also sighed. The places they control now are all poor and ugly, and the time is short, so they can't come up with this money at all. "The army is a money-eating machine. No matter what, this
All this batch of equipment must be captured. Once captured, our combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, which will be of great benefit to us whether on the anti-Japanese battlefield or in anything in the future."
"It's not that I don't know, but where's the money?" Mr. Zhou spread his hands and said helplessly, "You can't owe such a big sum of money. That guy is so young, and it won't sound good if he talks about it."
"Hey, let's think of a way. First tell Comrade Zhang Chu and ask him to tell that guy that we want all this batch of equipment, but the price must be cheaper. No, Lao Zhou, you have to go there and negotiate the price.
." The great man took a puff of his cigarette and said, "We have never seen this kid after so many times, so one of us three must go. The other two are responsible for raising money."
"You think I have iron teeth and bronze teeth, how much price can I negotiate?" Mr. Zhou said in disbelief. Obviously, the great man expected him to cut the price to an acceptable level. In fact, the price offered by Zhou Weiguo now is
It's acceptable, and it's much cheaper than what's on the market. "This price is much cheaper than what's on the market. How do you want me to tell you, and why do you have the nerve to go? If you want to go, you can go by yourself."
"It's fine if I go, you go and raise the money. Let's divide the work." The great man nodded and said.
"Hey, you two, don't make trouble." General Peng said helplessly, "It's okay for Lao Zhou to go see him. Lao Mao, aren't you afraid of being in danger as soon as you go out?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of in danger." The great man stood up, "I really want to meet this little guy, firstly, to negotiate the price, and secondly, to see if we can get him to join us. After all, he
Although he is now a division commander of the Kuomintang, his station is behind enemy lines, which coincides with our policy."
"Three, what do you want to say, if he is willing to join us, can the money be enough?" Mr. Zhou said with a smile.
"Hahaha, if he is willing, I will accept it and compensate him later." The great man said with a smile, "But it really doesn't sound good to say it out loud, but we are really in difficulty now."
"Hey, I'm thinking, if that thing hadn't happened, he would be our comrade now." General Peng suddenly sighed, "If he was our comrade, I'm thinking, how should he raise the money?
Son."
"So my idea is right." The great man smiled, "So, look, who is going?"
"It's better for me to go." Mr. Zhou sighed, "After all, it's all about money and it's within my scope of work, so I won't let you go."
"If you have the chance, invite him to come to Yan'an." The great man smoked a cigarette. "It's really not suitable for me to go out now. I will go see him again when the situation gets better."
"Report!" A voice sounded, interrupting several people's chat.
"Come in."
"I've met the chief."
"Comrade Liu Yuan, why are you here?" Mr. Zhou asked.
"Comrades, this is what my brother, Comrade Zhou Weiguo, dragged me to bring to the organization." Liu Yuan took out a pile of papers from a file bag.
Several people took it. Although they were not majoring in this field, they could still tell that this was a drawing of something, and it seemed to be a drawing of something very important.
"This is?"
"Weiguo said that this is the complete set of blueprints for the most advanced industrial machine in foreign countries."
"What?" the three leaders said in surprise at the same time. Then they looked at each other and laughed.
"We underestimated him." The great man said first, "Really, this time, I want to see him."
"No, no, you can't go, I'll go." Mr. Zhou shook his head, denying the great man's words.
"I want to go too." General Peng said from the side, "I'll stop by to see Lao Zhu."
"It's enough for me to go alone." Mr. Zhou said, "You two can't leave for the time being."
Liu Yuan was on the side, listened for a while, and finally understood, and felt happy in his heart. With any of these three people taking action, there is a high possibility that Zhou Weiguo will join the party, and it sounds like it is not just a matter of drawings.
, then he asked, "Chief, I don't know why you want to see Weiguo?"
"You are such a great brother." The great man said with a smile, "Now, take a look." He then handed the previous telegram to Liu Yuan.
After Liu Yuan looked at it, he also looked in disbelief and said, "With this quantity, I can't imagine how Weiguo obtained this batch of things."
"So, your brother is very capable." Mr. Zhou also smiled, "At least now, he still maintains goodwill toward our party."
Liu Yuan heard Mr. Zhou's words, hesitated, and said, "I asked Wei Guo his views on the two parties, including asking him why he handed the drawings to us instead of the Kuomintang. He said that he had no hope for the Kuomintang.
, the Kuomintang is rotten to the core, but he doesn’t want to see civil war, which is why he actively supports us now.”
"Hey. That's it."
"I also asked him if he would join our party, but his answer..." Liu Yuan was silent for a moment.
"What is it?"
"He didn't answer. He only said that when the anti-Japanese war is over, he will be disarmed and return to his fields." Liu Yuan sighed and said.
"Hey, it's hard for him." The great man frowned and sighed, "After all, he is from the Kuomintang, and Chiang Kai-shek is very good to him. From his standpoint, it is extremely difficult for him to help us like this."
"In the future, don't ask him questions like this." Mr. Zhou said, "As long as he maintains a good relationship with us, it doesn't matter whether he is a Communist or not."
"Too."
"So, Lao Zhou, when are you leaving?"
"Haha, Comrade Liu Yuan, I will give you a task now."
"yes!"
"From now on, escort Mr. Zhou to Qingfeng Village in Laiyang to meet Zhou Weiguo to discuss weapons and equipment."
