"The central government has always hoped that our air force could join the 5th Theater and obey Li Zongren's dispatch, but the military commander blocked it. He hoped that we could have enough time to rest and train..." Jiang Mengyun said to them eloquently.

Li Liqian and Nie Linhai also pricked up their ears and listened to her words carefully.

"And people from Shanxi are coming today. We guess that one of their purposes is to buy some arms. On the other hand, they may hope that we can join forces with them to help them withstand the Japanese attack."

"The military leader has always hoped to have a stable strategic rear area, so he has always been worried about the Japanese airfield in Taiyuan. Although he may not necessarily send an army unit to join the Shanxi battlefield, he will definitely send an air force unit to join it.

Shanxi War. And he told me yesterday that he intends to send a bomber force to carry out a preemptive strike on the Japanese airport in Taiyuan, but the time has not been finalized."

"In addition, your bomber unit will definitely have a very interesting mission." Jiang Mengyun glanced at Nie Linhai and said.

"What interesting mission?" Nie Linhai said quickly.

"He wants B29 bombers to airdrop newspapers into enemy-occupied areas, not only in North China, but also in Northeast China."

Jiang Mengyun said a little helplessly. She didn't understand why Lu Mingxuan always had so many fantastic ideas in his mind. Is he really from Earth?

Using strategic bombers to deliver newspapers? Li Liqian and Nie Shuhai couldn't help but look at each other. The military commander was really creative.

"The military has always believed that this can increase the visibility of the 98th Army in the occupied areas, and it will play a very important role in recruiting local troops when the lost territory is recovered in the future. And when the Japanese found that they had absolutely nothing to do with our bombers,

It will give them an extremely fearful mentality, which will be of great help to enhance the self-confidence of the people in the occupied areas."

Jiang Mengyun continued.

At this time, Yanagita Yuki had already entered a secret room through the kitchen tunnel. A Japanese spy was monitoring their conversation through a copper pipe. He also held a pen in his hand and kept recording their conversation.

Yanagita Yuki did not disturb him, but quietly watched the content he recorded. However, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after seeing the content.

The enemy might launch an air raid on Taiyuan's airport! This news was so important that he must send it out as soon as possible.

At this moment, a shrill air raid siren suddenly sounded in Jiyuan City.

"What's going on?" Li Liqian and Nie Linhai stood up in shock and asked.

"Is Japan going to bomb our place?" Jiang Mengyun also stood up and said.

But the air raid siren stopped soon after, which confused them even more.

They were all soldiers and knew that the air raid siren was not something that could be raised casually. Something must have happened.

"No, I have to go back to the air force base first," Li Liqian said.

"Let's go back together." Nie Linhai also said.

Both of them are the top commanders of the Air Force. It would be bad if they were not there if something happened.

"Okay then, let's all go back and see what happened." Jiang Mengyun also stood up and said.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Jiang Mengyu had a sad face and finally came out to relax for a while, but was disturbed by an air raid siren. This air raid siren was really abominable.

Even Yanagita Yuki kept cursing, what a great opportunity this was, it might only take half an hour for him to get countless important information, but he was disturbed by this air raid warning.

When he walked up, he found that all the officers had left, which made him sigh heavily.

"Haha! I don't know which gust of wind brought Brother Zhao here today."

In Lu Mingxuan's private reception room, a group of uniformed Lu Mingxuan laughed and said to Zhao Daiwen.

"It's hard to explain. I came here this time to ask for your help with something, brother." Zhao Daiwen said with a wry smile.

"Brother Zhao, if you need anything, just tell me. As long as I, Mr. Lu, can do it, I will never refuse."

Lu Mingxuan said generously.

In fact, he admires Zhao Daiwen very much. He has been working hard for the prosperity of China all his life, and at such an old age, he is still running around fighting against Japan. He can definitely be called a respectable person.

old man.

"Then I'll tell you the truth. We felt very good about the weapons we bought from you last time, so we hope to order another batch of weapons. I don't know..."

Zhao Daiwen said to him that after the Jinsui Army took back the weapons last time, they found that the performance of the firearms was simply great!

Almost everyone who has used it is full of praise. They all think it is the best rifle they have ever used. It not only has stable ballistics, but also has small recoil. It is a very good rifle.

Moreover, since his Taiyuan arsenal was occupied by the Japanese, the source of his weapons has become problematic. Recently, he has been recruiting a large number of troops, so Yan Xishan hopes to buy another batch of weapons from him.

After hearing what he said, Lu Mingxuan looked embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't want to sell it, but that Chiang Kai-shek wouldn't let him sell it.

"Brother Zhao, you know what happened last time. It's not that I don't want to sell it to you, it's because the central government doesn't agree. As long as you can convince the central government, I have no objection to how much I sell it to."

Lu Mingxuan said to him with some embarrassment.

"Brother Lu, aren't you making things difficult for me? You also know how difficult it is to get weapons from the Central Army, and they have been purchasing weapons from everywhere recently. In addition, the quantity we need is very large. They

I will never agree." Zhao Daiwen said with a wry smile.

"Besides, with your current strength, are you still afraid of the central government? Besides, we are just secretly trading. If you don't tell me and I don't tell, who will know."

After listening to his words, Lu Mingxuan also thought carefully.

It is absolutely impossible for him to obey Chiang Kai-shek's words and not sell arms, let alone sell them to Yan Xishan for use in resisting the Japanese.

He has always hoped to have a stable strategic rear area, but the Japanese army in Shanxi has posed a very serious threat to his territory. If he wants Yan Xishan Mountain to withstand the Japanese attack, he must provide him with sufficient arms support.

.

Lu Mingxuan pondered for a moment, and then said to him: "Okay, I don't know how much you want."

"The equipment of four German weapon divisions, plus 36 105mm howitzers, 24 150mm howitzers, 50 20mm anti-tank guns, 24 37mm anti-tank guns, 50 Type 97 tanks, and 36 Type Zero fighters

.”

Zhao Daiwen said to Lu Mingxuan with a smile.

"I don't know how Brother Zhao knew I had a 150mm howitzer."

Lu Mingxuan said curiously.

"We have known about the scandal between you and the central government for a long time, and not only us, but also Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Xue Yue probably know about it."

Zhao Daiwen said to him.

After hearing his words, Lu Mingxuan could only smile bitterly. The central government of the Kuomintang was the biggest enemy during the Republic of China. No matter which force it was, they tried their best to insert their own spies.

"Then the price will be the same as last time." Lu Mingxuan said calmly.

"Is this..."

Hearing this, Zhao Daiwen showed a bitter look on his face.

"What? Does Brother Zhao have no money?"

Lu Mingxuan said a little surprised.

"Brother Lu is right, we are really strapped for money recently."

Zhao Daiwen said with a smile.

Since losing Taiyuan and several nearby Shanxi's wealthiest counties and cities, Yan Laoxi's life has been very tight.

In order to withstand the Japanese attack, he had to rebuild a large number of troops, and some soldiers who died in battle also needed to be compensated, which required a lot of funds.

Compared with Chiang Kai-shek, he did not have a money printing machine. In his words, even the landlords had no surplus food.

"Then I'll give you a 10% discount." Lu Mingxuan said very generously.

"This, see if it can be cheaper..."

Zhao Daiwen said very embarrassedly.

"Then it's 20% off." Lu Mingxuan said with a wave of his hand.

"Thank you so much, brother. Just see if you can..."

Zhao Daiwen said with a blushing face. After all, he was a bit thin-skinned. He already felt very embarrassed after Lu Mingxuan lowered the price twice in a row.

Lu Mingxuan looked at Zhao Daiwen with a strange expression, and then said to him: "Brother Zhao, are you really short of money?"

"Yes, as the saying goes, when a cannon goes off, there is ten thousand taels of gold. The recent battles have emptied our Shanxi coffers. In addition, we have to recruit more troops. We are really short of money.

ah."

Zhao Daiwen said with a wry smile.

Lu Mingxuan nodded, and then said to him: "In this case, then I will find a way for you."

"Oh, what can I do?" Zhao Daiwen asked quickly.

"You use physically qualified recruits in exchange for weapons."

"Trading people for guns?"

"That's right, an illiterate recruit can be converted into 50 oceans, a recruit who graduated from elementary school can be converted into 200 oceans, a recruit who graduated from middle school can be converted into 800 oceans, and a recruit with a college diploma can be converted into 4,000 oceans. How?

Well, brother, this is a good idea."

Lu Mingxuan smiled and said to Zhao Daiwen.

"As far as I know, your Shanxi has a population of 11 million. Even if a lot of space is occupied by Japan, I think you should be able to mobilize a lot of manpower. In this way, you can get the weapons you want, and we can also
