Chapter 32 Seeking Help
"Boss, I heard that you plan to recruit people? And you need Germans like me?" Schuchman rushed to Lu Yuan's residence early the next morning, and Lu Yuan knew that Hogg must have gone to find Schuch last night. Man, and told Schuchman that he was going to recruit more Germans.Lu Yuan didn't answer Shu Heman, but ate breakfast leisurely. Shu Heman, who was ignored by Lu Yuan, was a little restless at the moment, wondering if his little boss would have a grudge against him because of this matter.

Lu Yuan secretly watched Shu Heman's reaction, and couldn't help laughing inwardly. At the same time, Lu Yuan still ate his breakfast calmly, and Fu Bo, the housekeeper who pretended to be busy in the dining room, also suppressed his smile, saying that he was comfortable. Herman, a foreign devil, is a simple-minded person.After finally waiting for Lu Yuan to finish his breakfast, Schuchman came up again and asked, "Boss, you haven't answered my question just now."

"Shu Heman, do you know why I hired Mr. Hogg?" Lu Yuan took the coffee from Faber, sat down comfortably on the sofa, and motioned for Shu Heman to sit down and talk. "Because I need someone who can help me think about things. You may be a good soldier, but you are not a very good executive, especially when dealing with people. Mr. Hogg should be more serious than you." suitable."

Lu Yuan's answer made Schuchman shake his head repeatedly, "No, boss, you may have misunderstood me. I'm not jealous of Hogg, I just want to know, boss, how many Germans like me are you going to hire? If you need more people, I can recommend some to you, and I promise, their character is absolutely reliable."

It wasn't until this moment that Lu Yuan finally understood the reason for Schuchman's visit. Lu Yuan couldn't help laughing inwardly, it was really someone bringing a pillow just after dozing off. "Shu Heman, I can tell you clearly that I will need a lot of people this time, but I have no way to determine the specific number of people. I will not be able to determine the final number until after Hogg and you go to Nanjing. The number of people." Lu Yuan's words were not a polite refusal, and Schuchman could naturally hear it.

About going to Nanjing, Lu Yuan didn't want to hide it from Shu Heman. Originally, Lu Yuan planned to call Hogg and Shu Heman to his residence today to discuss the plan. Save a lot of time. "It's not as good as this, Schuchman, you can go back and help me recruit 30 people, as long as you can trust them, you can recruit them. You can also tell them that this employment may last from August to February next year." Monthly, except for you and Hogg, the others have a monthly salary of 8 US dollars, and at the same time, we cover room and board."

From August to February next year, it will be half a year. With a monthly salary of 8 U.S. dollars including board and lodging, you can get 2 U.S. dollars in half a year. This is definitely a huge sum for those who are in the same situation as Schuchman. payment.Schuchman, who got the exact answer from Lu Yuan, left happily, and Lu Yuan also interrupted his daily training for the first time, and calculated all the money he could mobilize in the study with the housekeeper Fu Bo .

"Master, our family now has 3000 US dollars, 2000 French currency, 1200 British pounds, and another 400 yuan. In addition, there are 5 large yellow croakers for 24 taels, 12 small yellow croakers for one tael, and some gold and silver jewelry. Big and small yellow croakers It can be regarded as hard currency, but those gold and silver jewelry have to be sold by experts so as not to be undervalued. The current market price of gold bars is 30 yuan for a small yellow croaker. I roughly estimated that the money our family can take out now is about No more than 8000 oceans."

"Uncle Fu, if you are like this, do the math, if our 8000 yuan is used to buy food, how much can you buy?" Knowing that the money that he can mobilize is actually as much as 8000 yuan, Lu Yuan was very excited for a while, but he didn't know the current prices very well, so he could only turn to Forbe for help in the calculation.

Uncle Fu naturally didn't know why Lu Yuan had to calculate this by himself, but this was what Lu Yuan meant, and Uncle Fu could only follow orders. "The rice on the market now costs 15 catties per piece of ocean, and the flour will be slightly more. It is about 17 catties for one ocean. Our family can buy almost 8000 catties of rice or 12 catties of flour for 13 yuan." Based on the result estimated by Fu Bo, Lu Yuan has a bottom line in his heart. Converting 12 catties of rice into the public standard is 60 tons.

If calculated on the basis of one catty of rice per person per day, the 12 catties of rice can guarantee the consumption of 4 people within three months at most. Refugees, the money is probably enough to buy food.But the money that Lu Yuan needs to pay is not just the 4 oceans, because the refugees not only need food to survive, they also need enough medicine and other supplies, and even fuel and clothing to survive the winter , so Lu Yuan had to prepare more money.

"Uncle Fu, bring me all those gold and silver jewelry, I will use them later." After thinking about it secretly, Lu Yuan decided to take those gold and silver jewelry to Hansen for sale, after all, he could trust it in Shanghai The only capable person is that weird old man Hansen.Lu Yuan took a bag of gold and silver jewelry to find Hansen. In addition, Lu Yuan also brought a few weapon blueprints that he drew in his spare time, and these weapon blueprints were specially prepared by Lu Yuan. .

"Mr. Hansen, I know that you are not as simple as a black market dealer, and I don't want to know too many things, but I need you to do me a favor now, which is very important to me." Lu Yuan used the bag The gold and silver jewelry was exchanged for a stack of banknotes from Hansen, but this time he did not leave immediately, but handed the few weapon blueprints to Hansen with a serious expression. "Here are a few infantry weapons I've designed during this time that I thought would be of interest to the German government."

Hansen's expression became equally serious following Lu Yuan's words. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the drawer with the pistol in front of him, but Hansen didn't take out the pistol in the end.Reaching out to receive the weapon blueprint handed over by Lu Yuan, Hansen's expression became more exciting as the blueprint unfolded, especially when he carefully looked at the blueprint of the Garand rifle, his eyes were full of excitement.

"This is the design drawing of the American Garand rifle. According to the information I have so far, the Americans had finalized this 10mm caliber semi-automatic rifle as early as October last year, and named it the M7.62 Garand rifle. .Because this rifle has powerful firepower, high accuracy and is convenient for soldiers to maintain their firearms, the US military has been equipped with this semi-automatic rifle since the beginning of last year.”

Seeing that Hansen's eyes were all focused on the blueprint of the American Garand rifle, Lu Yuan secretly called him negligent, and at the same time explained Hansen very attentively.This blueprint of the American Garand rifle was copied by Lu Yuan from his memory when he encountered difficulties in modifying the rifle. It was an auxiliary means for him to solve the confusion and find a solution. Entrainment brings Hansen here.

"Compared with your country's Mauser rifle, this Garand rifle is slightly heavier in weight, but its effective firing range is almost the same. And the Mauser rifle is still a bolt-action rifle until now. , and this Garand rifle is already a semi-automatic rifle that can shoot continuously once it is loaded, and the ammunition capacity has also been increased to 8 rounds of bullets. I have the honor to see this Garand rifle shooting once In the scene, I can say responsibly that only four Garand rifles are needed to completely suppress a Bender soldier's cross-fire attack."

Hansen's face was already very ugly at this time, so Lu Yuan automatically chose to block what he was going to say next, but Lu Yuan secretly laughed in his heart, it seems that his purpose of this trip has been achieved. "What do you want? Or what exactly do you want me to do for you?" Hansen is worthy of being a scheming old fox. He just took a breath and understood the purpose of Lu Yuan's bringing these weapon blueprints.

"Mr. Hansen, since you have already asked this question, I will not hide it from you anymore." Lu Yuan continued to take out a map from his purse with a smile and spread it out on the table. "The situation in Shanghai is becoming more and more chaotic, and the intention of the Japanese to send troops to Shanghai is becoming more and more obvious. I believe you, Mr. Hansen, have heard of it. This is Nanjing, the capital of the Nationalist Government, but Nanjing is far from Shanghai is too close, I think, once the Japanese army takes Shanghai, they will definitely attack Nanjing.”

"Because Nanjing is the capital of the National Government, the Japanese will think that as long as they take the capital of the National Government, they will force the National Government to surrender to Japan. What I want to say is that I am not worried about the National Government or the city guards , what I am worried about are the civilians living in Nanjing. If the national government gathers heavy troops to defend the city, then of course everyone will be happy. After the city, they may vent their anger on those innocent civilians."

Hansen's expression was still dismissive at first, but as Lu Yuan's analysis unfolded little by little, Hansen's expression began to become serious. "What I want is to send these weapon blueprints to the German consul through you. After Hogg and the others bring people into Nanjing, provide them with convenience and help within their ability. If what I worry about really happens, I will I hope the German Consulate in Nanjing can help Hogg and the others set up a refugee camp and prevent the Japanese army from harassing the refugee camp."
