"Director Yan, don't worry, this transaction is a bit special." Li Hao stopped Yan Youjin who was about to leave.
"Our garrison does not want the ocean, only supplies."
"The Jinsui Army will provide supplies, and we will provide artillery and shells to complete this transaction."
With that said, Li Hao handed a list to Yan Youjin.
This list was specially prepared by Li Hao for the Jinsui Army. It contains some scarce raw materials that are difficult to obtain from the garrison base and the surrounding Eighth Route Army. The price is clearly marked, the quantity required, and the specific conversion of the ocean are all clearly written on it.
Chu.
"These are all the raw materials needed to produce weapons and ammunition!" Yan Youjin was in charge of logistics, and he could see the fishiness in the list at a glance.
Li Hao did not deny: "Yes, this is indeed a manufacturer of weapons and ammunition."
"Our Eighth Route Army has built some small arsenals, but due to insufficient raw materials, we have been unable to produce them on a large scale."
"Your Jinsui Army has a large arsenal in southwestern Shanxi, and it is backed by the rear area. It has abundant raw materials. It is easy to obtain the materials on the list."
"Director Yan should be able to see that all the prices on the list are market prices. I haven't lowered them even by a single cent. You will definitely not suffer any loss if you exchange supplies for the heavy artillery in my hand."
Yan Youjin's mind started spinning rapidly.
The Jinsui Army controls the military and political power of the entire World War II zone, so it is not difficult to raise these supplies.
During the collection process, a lot of manpower and material resources are free of charge.
If these supplies were really converted into oceans, they would only be 50% of what is on the list at most.
Relatively speaking, you will lose a lot if you directly use Dayang to purchase these heavy artillery and artillery shells.
More than half of the territory in the war zone is in the hands of the Japanese, and the tax revenue they can obtain is very limited, but more and more troops can be fed.
Therefore, funds in the war zone are very tight. If materials are used to replace funds, in normal times, Commander Yan will definitely agree.
But it's different now.
Chongqing became more and more fearful of the Eighth Route Army and secretly requested the Jinsui Army to blockade the Eighth Route Army and not provide materials, weapons and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army.
If Commander Yan decides to exchange supplies for the Japanese heavy artillery captured by the garrison, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in Chongqing.
What Chief Yan is best at is dancing on the three eggs of Chongqing, the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese. He doesn't provoke anyone and just protects his own interests from being infringed.
Once you help the Eighth Route Army and break this balance, you will definitely cause serious dissatisfaction from the other two parties.
Therefore, no one knows whether Chief Yan will take risks and exchange supplies for cannons in order to save money.
Li Hao knew Yan Youjin's worries well. Seeing his hesitation, Li Hao continued: "If Commander Yan agrees to use the materials on the list to purchase heavy artillery and artillery shells, after this transaction is completed, our garrison will still receive the goods."
In the next three months, we successively sold a thousand heavy artillery shells to the Jinsui Army, 600 shells in the first two months, and 400 shells in the last month. We still used the materials on the list to trade."
Yan Youjin was immediately moved.
Artillery shells, like heavy artillery, are equipment and ammunition that the Shanxi-Sui Army, and even the whole country, cannot produce.
The difference from heavy artillery is that heavy artillery can be used multiple times within its service life, but artillery shells cannot.
It is a consumable item. If you buy one, you will lose one.
Without artillery shells, no matter how powerful the heavy artillery is, it is just a pile of scrap metal and is useless.
Therefore, no one would complain that they have too many cannonballs, and Commander Yan is no exception.
If these thousand rounds of heavy artillery shells are added, in order to ensure that the heavy artillery regiment always has combat effectiveness and can act as a deterrent to the enemy, there is at least a 70% chance that Commander Yan will agree to exchange supplies for heavy artillery.
Yan Youjin himself also wanted to facilitate this deal, so that he could gain more military exploits.
Looking at Li Hao, he replied: "Captain Li, I will send a telegram to Commander Yan right now and I will definitely find a way to facilitate this deal."
At the headquarters of the Northwestern Shanxi Base Area, a very unfamiliar face appeared here and strode into the headquarters under the guidance of the guard battalion commander.
After entering, the guard battalion commander looked at a middle-aged man and reported: "Chief, this is the guard company commander Sun Jiawu sent by the Lingqiu garrison!"
After introducing Sun Jiawu, he pointed at the middle-aged man and continued the introduction: "Company Commander Sun, this is our leader and the person you named to see."
"Hello, Chief!" Sun Jiawu quickly saluted and said respectfully.
The middle-aged man in front of him was several levels higher than his captain, let alone himself.
"I heard that your garrison's tentacles have reached Datong, directly opening up the connection with our base area in northern Shanxi?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.
"Yes, Chief!" Sun Jiawu quickly replied.
Without any concealment, he introduced loudly.
"Three days ago, our regiment commander issued an order asking the troops of the garrison lurking in Datong to open a communication channel between Lingqiu and the base area in northwestern Shanxi. Then he sent me over to contact the commander. I hope the commander can do us a big favor?"
The chief asked readily: "What are you doing? As long as the base area in northwestern Shanxi can do it, we will definitely help."
"The last time we attacked Datong, if the garrison regiment hadn't been so upright and distributed most of the seizures to us, the northwest Shanxi base area would not have been able to expand several main regiments in such a short period of time. Therefore, our northwest Shanxi base area still owes the garrison a huge favor."
"I've been thinking about how to repay this favor, but I didn't expect you to come, Captain Sun."
Sun Jiawu didn't expect the leader to be so easy to talk to, so he quickly took out the list prepared by the leader and handed it over, and then introduced: "We would like to ask the leader to mobilize all his strength to help us raise the materials on the list."
"The more, the better."
"At the same time, our garrison will not let the comrades in the northern Shanxi base area work hard in vain."
"All the supplies raised by our garrison were exchanged for weapons and ammunition."
"The exact details of the exchange are all written on the list."
"Ordinary supplies can be exchanged for machine guns, matching bullets, grenades, and grenades."
"Marked important materials can be exchanged for heavy machine guns, mortars, heavy machine gun bullets, and artillery shells!"
After carefully reading the items on the list, the chief replied: "If I guessed correctly, these materials are used to produce weapons and ammunition."
"The base area of the garrison is limited, and it is difficult to collect the materials there. Without raw materials, the arsenal cannot produce at full capacity."
"I will accept this matter. Even if I cannot exchange weapons and ammunition, I will order the base area to collect these supplies."
"You can now exchange weapons and ammunition, and even precious mortars and artillery shells. When the news spreads, without my giving orders, the brigade commanders below will go crazy with joy, and then try their best to collect the supplies on the list.
"
"Thank you, chief!" Sun Jiawu was very happy. He didn't expect the task to be completed so quickly.
