Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 45 Arms Dealer - Depps!
"What's the matter? Why is it so strict all of a sudden?"

"I do not know?"

Yang Huimin, a boy scout, was discussing with Wei Zhengcai, the captain of the 88th Division Gendarmerie, about the purchase of arms, but he didn't want to suddenly see the patrol outside the window clearing the pedestrians on the street.

At this moment, one of Wei Zhengcai's team captains pushed open the door and rushed over with a newspaper in a panic, "Sir, something has happened."

Wei Zhengcai took the newspaper and read: "The Japanese people are arguing that they will take down the Sihang warehouse within three hours tomorrow. The consuls of various countries expressed their shock. In order to ensure the safety of the concession, no one is allowed to approach the bank of the Suzhou River."

"Captain Wei, what can we do? Do you still want to buy arms?"

Yang Huimin couldn't help but said, after all, they were going to buy artillery shells to send to the North Shore.But nowadays, the British are not allowed to get close to the Suzhou River, how can they send it?
Wei Zhengcai was still calm, and said to Yang Huimin, "The top priority is to buy artillery shells. The little devil said that he will take down the Sixing warehouse in three hours. Then we have to ask our independent regiment to agree or not."

Having said that, Wei Zhengcai directly dialed the number of Sihang Warehouse.

It was Xie Jinyuan who answered the phone: "Hello, I'm Xie Jinyuan."

"Brother Xie, I'm Wei Zhengcai. Where's Brother Dragon Boat Festival? I have some bad news to tell you right now."

"Hold on!"

Xie Jinyuan said to wait a moment, and answered the phone at the Dragon Boat Festival when he was young: "I'm the Dragon Boat Festival, if you have anything to say!"

Wei Zhengcai hurriedly said, "Brother Dragon Boat Festival, we just received information that the little devil boasted about Haikou, saying that he would take over the Sixing warehouse within three hours."

"Don't worry, I'll give him 30 days, but he won't be able to take over the Sixing Warehouse. Concentrate on your business. Besides, I'm looking for you for one thing."

Duanwu replied that Wei Zheng was overjoyed at this time, because as long as his Duanwu brother had such confidence, it would be fine.

So at this time, let alone one thing, even if it is a hundred things, he will agree.After all, it's about his career.

Wei Zhengcai said a little excitedly: "Brother Dragon Boat Festival, please tell me, don't say one thing, even if it is a hundred things, I, Wei Zhengcai, will do it for you with my head down."

"This matter is very simple."

At this point in the Dragon Boat Festival, he picked up a death list and read: "Su Beiwen, from southern Hokkien, aged 25, first battalion of the 88th Division Independent Regiment, senior soldier.

Zhou Fangbai, from Hebei, aged 23, is a private in the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment of the 88th Division.

Ding Yi, from Shanxi, aged 32 years old, the corporal squad leader of the Independent Battalion of the 88th Division Independent Regiment,
······················
Zhang Hongyu, from Hubei, aged 20 years old, 88th Division, recruit battalion, private soldier,
Zhang Fa, from Shandong, aged 36 years, the second battalion of the 88th Division, sergeant platoon leader,
··················
The above list of deceased, I have to report to the newspaper tomorrow, and my family members want pensions, can I do that? "

"This,."

Wei Zhengcai was a little embarrassed.First, the newspapers in the concession are controlled by the British, not what he wants to publish.And secondly, Wei Zhengcai really has no money.He had to ask Yang Huimin to discuss the money for the shells.

Otherwise, what does Yang Huimin, a boy scout, mean to him, Wei Zhengcai?
Therefore, Wei Zhengcai could only use a negotiating tone: "Brother Dragon Boat Festival, I can only report this list to the teacher, and as for the newspapers and pensions, it is beyond my ability."

"Then find someone who is capable and tell me. Three hundred soldiers died at the hands of enemy bandits. I can't even ask for a pension after their death. How do you let me deal with the dead and the living? people.

Tomorrow I will read in the newspapers reports of their heroic killings.I want everyone to know that they died to defend this country!

This is not a plea, this is an order! "

After all, the Dragon Boat Festival directly dropped the phone.

"This this?"

Wei Zhengcai was embarrassed there.

"Captain Wei, I think what the Dragon Boat Officer said is right. They are helpless. They have been able to fight against the devil until now. What are you fighting for?"

Yang Huimin asked Wei Zhengcai at this time.

Wei Zhengcai thought for a while, sighed, and said to Yang Huimin, "It's not that I, the commander of the gendarmerie, are inhumane. I have to discuss with you the money to buy artillery shells from the Germans, where will I have the money? Print newspapers, and what kind of pensions are you going to give to soldiers who died in battle?"

"What about the 88th Division? Can you report this to Mr. Sun?"

"It's useless, all the troops are retreating now. The war is still too busy, who has time to deal with this kind of thing? Even if I report it up, it's not down, the division commander just let me find a way.

But what can I do?I'm not a bank, can I print out the money? "

Wei Zhengcai asked Yang Huimin, but Yang Huimin was looking at the emerald ring on Wei Zhengcai's hand.

Yang Huimin said deliberately, "Captain Wei, is your ring nice?"

Wei Zhengcai looked embarrassed, thought for a while, then took off the ring and said, "Things outside the body should support the War of Resistance."

After all, Wei Zhengcai threw his hands at Yang Huimin, which meant that he was destitute now.

"Report captain, found the German, he is now at the 'Crimson Bar'. Brothers have contacted, he really has the shells of the 37th anti-aircraft gun, should we buy them?"

At this moment, another Wei Zhengcai's subordinate hurried back to report.

Wei Zhengcai smiled helplessly and said, "Then we have to ask our grandma, the God of Wealth?"

Wei Zhengcai was referring to Yang Huimin.

Yang Huimin said firmly: "Then we will go to meet Mr. Depps."

"go!"

Wei Zhengcai made a gesture of invitation, Yang Huimin walked in front, Wei Zhengcai followed, and then a group of five went straight to the Crimson Bar.

The Scarlet Bar is also a bar run by a German businessman.So many Germans like to drink here.

Depps is also a frequent visitor here. He is in his thirties, and he is drinking with an Asian girl with black hair and exquisite appearance who is less than 20 years old.

The Asian girl was very talkative, and Depp was always laughing, stroking the other's thighs quietly from time to time.

The girl wanted to refuse and greet them, but the two of them seemed like no one else in front of everyone.

However, at this time, Wei Zhengcai and Yang Huimin arrived.

Depp stopped his movements and said to the Asian girl on the side: "Little baby, do you see? My big business is coming. Look at how I make Chinese money, they have to tell me. thanks!."
