Chapter 136 A great harvest!
Seeing this, Qin Hai's eyes couldn't help but shrink. The quantity of this batch of armaments was quite considerable. In order to ensure that these large mechanical facilities could be escorted back safely, Deputy Commander Xu even transferred back the main transport team.
in addition,
There was also a big gain this time. Deputy Commander Xu spared no expense to purchase an entire company of anti-aircraft machine guns, which were imported products. The specific model was unknown, but it was a heavy machine gun that could fire both horizontally and high-altitude!
"Awesome, we even got the anti-aircraft machine gun, so cool!" Qin Hai slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
Although before leaving,
Qin Hai once instructed Deputy Regiment Commander Xu to pay special attention to the purchase of anti-aircraft machine guns, because the current air defense combat capability of the Guard Regiment is relatively weak. To make up for this shortcoming, anti-aircraft machine guns are the best choice.
However, anti-aircraft machine guns are not popular in the country and it is difficult to buy them even if you have money.
therefore,
Qin Hai did not hold out much hope that Deputy Commander Xu would be able to buy it when he went to the rear of the Second War Zone. Unexpectedly, this time he received such a big surprise.
"With so many supplies, I'm afraid I'll have to lead the troops to pick them up myself!" Qin Hai touched his chin and quickly made a plan in his mind.
Even if there is a main transport team escorting them, these materials and a large number of technical personnel are too conspicuous. In order to avoid accidents, it is necessary to go there in person!
of course,
In the lower right corner of the telegram, Deputy Head Xu also marked the total expenditure this time. Qin Hai took a look and his temples couldn't help but throb.
This amount of money is really not small, a full two million dollars was spent just like that!
Although the cost was huge this time, Qin Hai did not feel bad about the money. He just deeply realized the meaning of the saying "spend money like water".
"Old Chiang, we have discussed the problem of weak air defense forces many times before. In order to build an air defense force, we even dismantled the Maxim heavy machine guns and formed an anti-aircraft machine gun company."
"Now that we have a professional anti-aircraft machine gun company, we can say that we have upgraded our old guns to new ones. The Japanese have the advantage of air support, and these anti-aircraft machine guns come at the right time. In the future, we will finally have the capital to fight against the Japanese planes and artillery."
At this point, Qin Hai's words were full of emotion. Although the overall strength of the Guards Corps has reached the top level,
But compared with the Japanese air strikes, the gap is still obvious.
therefore,
The weak air defense force has always been a hidden worry in Qin Hai's heart. This time, Deputy Commander Xu purchased a company of anti-aircraft machine guns, which finally made him feel relieved.
After hearing the commander's words, Jiang Dali smiled. It was beyond his expectations that Deputy Commander Xu could achieve such great results in the rear of the Second War Zone.
"Old Xu has worked really hard this time. Now he is rushing to the rear of the government without stopping. He must have tasted the sweetness and doesn't want to let this opportunity fall into the hands of others for nothing."
"I'm still confident in Old Xu's work. He has really worked hard this time. He has sent back the main transport teams. This time I plan to personally lead people to meet them. After the materials and personnel are transferred, these transport teams can just rush to the rear of Pidu and maybe even catch up with Old Xu's pace."
In this regard, Qin Hai has considered it very carefully.
Old Xu sent back all the main transport forces, and this time they hurried to the rear of Pidu. Even if they had the purchasing power, it would be too conspicuous to carry so much money around in such a chaotic time.
not to mention,
This time, Lao Xu bought so many supplies that he may have been targeted by someone. In this case, he must be followed by the main force, otherwise it will be easy to encounter a situation where the thieves rob the thieves.
After hearing what the team leader said, instructor Jiang Dali also understood the team leader's concerns and naturally nodded in agreement.
"That's it. We will go pick up the transport team in person. It just so happens that we brought back large-caliber mortars and some 60mm mortars. These are all good stuff and can be distributed to the battalions and companies to fill the gap in firepower!"
As the instructor finished speaking,
Qin Hai nodded slightly. Instructor Jiang Dali was very thoughtful in this regard. "Very good. I will bring these technicians back when the time comes. I will not expand the staffing and let each department solve the problem on their own."
"The adjustment has just been made, and the soldiers in various departments may still be in the adaptation stage. It is okay to enhance the firepower configuration, but the staffing must be slowed down for the time being." While speaking, Qin Hai was also thinking in his mind.
At the same time, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and with his other hand he handed the statistical sheet to Chiang Kai-shek.
The latter took the order,
With just one glance, the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Just by going to the rear of the Second War Zone, we have gained such a great harvest. If we go to the southwest region, Lao Xu's harvest this time will definitely not disappoint us!" At this point, instructor Jiang Dali's words were full of determination.
Now the government is in turmoil.
The old leader was extremely worried due to the successive defeats on the front line, especially W's betrayal and surrender to the enemy, which made the government lose the support of the people.
Without the support of the people,
The government will soon fall apart. Under such circumstances, I am afraid that the subordinates who hold military power have already begun to take action.
but,
Precisely because the government is unstable, we must not take security issues lightly, for fear that the chaotic situation will lead to a situation where gangs rob gangs.
"Well, you have a point. After we receive the equipment, weapons and large equipment of the transport troops, we will send these main transport teams to the government as soon as possible to ensure Lao Xu's safety."
Hearing this,
Jiang Dali nodded repeatedly, agreeing that the team leader had indeed considered this aspect more thoroughly than he did.
"There is one more thing. Purchasing supplies really costs money like water. Those things are indeed good, but the money is spent too quickly. Just one trip and more than two million dollars is gone."
Although Qin Hai said it lightly, one could tell from his tone that he felt a little pained about spending the money.
Two million dollars.
This is simply an astronomical figure, a number that ordinary people can hardly imagine. Deputy Commander Xu took such a large sum of money to the rear area just to buy necessary supplies and various mechanical equipment.
Although the harvest is rich,
But seeing the money flowing out so quickly, Qin Hai, as the helmsman, truly felt what it meant to spend money like water.
After hearing this, Jiang Dali's eyes were full of helplessness.
"Yes, just a trip to the rear of the Second War Zone, and two million dollars are gone. When I come back from the government, I'm afraid my family's assets will be emptied." At this point, Jiang Dali's words were a little bitter.
of course,
Although the money was spent, at least useful things were bought, and the quantity of these weapons, equipment and supplies was not small, so they were worth the money. This was the only thing that comforted Jiang Dali.
"Haha, isn't the purpose of making money to spend? Now the war is in full swing. At this time, the most important thing is to strengthen the overall strength of the guards. Everything else is secondary."
