Chapter 0049 Profiteer!
"Put down the gun, put down the gun, Miss Fanghua is one of our own."
But seeing that his men were nervous, Deps quickly stopped them, otherwise they would only be wiped out in the event of a firefight.
Along the way, he had gotten to know Fanghua and others to some extent.
Although Fanghua never revealed his identity, Deps felt that Fanghua and others should be agents.
So he brought the person back without any struggle. At the same time, it was also to establish a good relationship with the Japanese. After all, he would still do business in Shanghai in the future.
"You go and take out the shells of the 37th anti-tank gun."
Deps said in a commanding tone.
The two Germans looked at each other and finally decided to put down their guns, and then they went to move the shells.
Deps asked Yamamoto Fanghua to sit down, and personally made a cup of coffee for Yamamoto Fanghua and said: "Miss Fanghua, I am afraid I am going to offend the Chinese people this time. I will ask Miss Fanghua to help me in the future."
ah?"
Yamamoto Yoshika forced out a smile and said, "Wait until I see the cannonball. If it's true what Mr. Deps said, I will give it to you whatever you want."
After saying that, Yamamoto Yoshika also gave Deps a wink.
Deps felt as if he had been electrocuted, and the kitten in his heart began to itch again. He was not afraid that Yamamoto Yoshika in front of him was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Yamamoto Fanghua secretly laughed in her heart: "Man,..."
At this moment, Deps's men brought in the cannonballs. The wooden boxes outside were not only covered in ash, but also smelled of mold. The bottoms of some boxes were even ruined, with a pile of sawdust falling off.
Deps took a crowbar and opened a box with his own hands, revealing the patinated artillery shells inside and saying: "Miss Fanghua, please look at this, these are the 37 anti-aircraft artillery shells I want to sell to the Chinese."
Yamamoto Yoshika frowned slightly when she saw the cannonball. She didn't expect that Deps in front of her would be so despicable. Not only did she charge a high price to the Chinese, but she also sold such junk to others. Even if she was in an enemy country, she wanted to take a shot.
This Deps was destroyed.
However, this is beneficial to the Japanese Empire after all. Yamamoto Yoshika said: "Can these kinds of shells still fire?"
Deps said proudly: "It was difficult to start. When these shells were transported to China, water entered the cabin and they were soaked for more than a month. By the time I found out, it was already too late.
But I still mixed it with some unwatered cannonballs and sold some. You know, the Chinese are like this. Even if some cannonballs don't fire, they will think that they are dumb bombs that happened to be in a batch.
Next time, they will come to me to buy things. They think foreign artillery shells are reliable.
Therefore, Chinese people’s money is the best to earn. I really don’t understand why Japan doesn’t come to make money, but instead comes to this war. I really can’t understand it!”
After speaking, Deps spread his hands.
But Yoshika Yamamoto ignored it at all. Because the Empire of Japan wanted everything, how could it care about the small profits?
Moreover, Yamamoto Yoshika heard a detail in Deps' proud smile, which was that among these shells, there were probably still shells that could be fired.
Yamamoto Yoshika said in a commanding tone: "Mr. Deps, I need you to fill your cannonballs with sand instead of damp gunpowder."
"No, no, no, this is not allowed. I am a German businessman with a conscience. I cannot do this, God will not forgive me.
If it can be explained that the shells are damp, then if it is replaced by sand, I will never want to do business in China in the future. The Chinese will kill me."
Deps shook his head repeatedly, as if he had a conscience and was upright.
However, Yamamoto Yoshika didn't believe it at all. She accepted Deps's advice and said: "I will give you as much as the Chinese people give you for this batch of artillery shells. And, plus me."
"Bayer, Schwab, replace the inside of the cannonballs with sand, then wipe them, and then we sell them to the Chinese."
Without even thinking about it, Deps ordered directly. Then he turned to Yamamoto Fanghua and said: "Miss Fanghua, I have a Buddha tooth on the second floor of my warehouse. Are you interested in going up and studying it?"
"
"Very happy to."
Yamamoto Yoshika stretched out his right hand, and Deps licked it like a dog. Then the two of them carried each other up to the second floor of the warehouse to see the Buddha's tooth.
················
At the same time, Wei Zhengcai naturally didn't know that Deps had sold him, and was still promising Duan Wu that he would try his best to send the cannonball to the other side of the river tomorrow.
Duanwu said: "Brother Wei, thank you for your hard work. You are indispensable for the battle at Sihang Warehouse."
Wei Zhengcai was overjoyed, because he originally thought that his Duanwu brothers would look down on him because he was hiding in the south bank to oversee the army. But he didn't expect Duanwu to say such a thing.
Wei Zhengcai quickly promised: "Brother Duanwu, please rest assured that I will completely obey your orders. I will definitely provide you with a stable and good rear area."
"Okay Brother Wei, after we finish beating the Japs, I'll treat you to a drink."
After Duanwu said that, he hung up the phone. However, at this time, Xie Jinyuan said disdainfully: "Wei Zhengcai, a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, is hiding in the south bank to supervise the army. Brother Duanwu does not need to be so polite to him."
"Forget it, he did his part after all. And if he were here, we wouldn't be happy fighting."
Duan Wu advised, but Xie Jinyuan still snorted dissatisfied.
"Reporting to the regiment, a little Japanese translator said that the old Japanese soldier Konoe Xun wants to meet you in front of the battle. He is waiting for you on the central street of the war zone."
At this moment, a sentry came to report.
Dragon Boat Festival glanced out the window, it was almost dusk.
"Yes, it's time for him to come too."
Duan Wu murmured, recalling the plot of Sihang Warehouse, where the old Japanese soldier Konoe Hsun met Xie Jinyuan before the decisive battle.
It's a pity that although Xie Jinyuan made a gesture of decisive battle, he did not fight the battle in the end. Instead, he led the remaining troops to rush to the bridge, resulting in the loss of so many lives in vain.
But today is different. The Dragon Boat Festival must complete this battle and show the prestige of the Chinese people.
"Brother Duanwu, I can knock this old devil down at a distance of a hundred meters without you taking action."
Just when the Dragon Boat Festival was about to go to see Konwei Xun, Zhao Beishan couldn't help but picked up a rifle and wanted to kill Konoe Xun with one shot.
At a distance of one hundred meters, he has this confidence.
"Forget it, Brother Zhao, kill Konoe Isao and we will kill him on the battlefield. Kill him now and let the devils say that we Chinese soldiers are stingy."
The Dragon Boat Festival stopped Zhao Beishan with one sentence.
"Hmph, then let this old boy live one more day."
Zhao Beishan put down the gun with a cold snort. Xie Jinyuan stopped Duanwu at this time and said: "Brother Duanwu, be careful of fraud. Why don't I go and see for you what this old devil is doing?"
"No need, it's me he wants to see. If you go, he will think I'm afraid of him. We Chinese can't be underestimated. Don't say that Konoe is here, even if the Japanese Emperor is here, I
