Chapter 22 Wealth and Silk Touching the Heart
After solving the matter, Zhou Cheng did not leave immediately, and hesitated for a while and continued to talk.
"Company Commander Zhang, I have another unhappy request here. If you can get your help, we will definitely pay a lot of money!"
Of course, Zhang Fugui would not refuse the benefit of sending it to his mouth, and asked, "Did you say?"
Zhou Cheng pretended to be grateful and replied: "That's right. The last time the Eighth Route Army crossed the Eighth Route Army, our Donghui Town, scared my uncle very much. If the Eighth Route Army enters Donghui Town in the future, Zhouzhuang will definitely become their primary target of attack."
"Although our Zhou family has more than 20 people, there are only sixteen guns, and there is not a light machine gun. My uncle heard that a light machine gun can match more than ten rifles, so he thought about whether he could buy a machine gun from the Imperial Army to increase the strength of the guards. I wonder if Company Commander Zhang has any channels."
Selling guns is a good deal, especially in the eyes of military officials like Zhang Fugui. If they operate properly, they don’t even need capital and make a profit in vain.
Zhang Fugui's mind quickly turned around, thinking about how to operate this matter to maximize his own interests.
Finally, he really thought of it. He looked at Zhou Cheng and answered readily: "I can help you, but the machine gun is not a rifle, it is very expensive."
"If I remember correctly, the second-hand gun in the Imperial Army will cost at least 300 yuan, and the bullet will be calculated separately."
The price is not high, but from the expression on Zhang Fugui's face, it can be seen that this is better than the transaction, he will definitely gain a lot.
Zhou Cheng didn't care about this, he wanted a machine gun.
As long as you can exchange Zhou Xuhui's finances for weapons and ammunition and increase the strength of the village protection team, it doesn't matter who earns this money.
He quickly answered: "Three hundred oceans are only three hundred oceans. Let's buy two, and then buy two hundred oceans of machine gun bullets, two hundred oceans of grenades, a total of one thousand oceans!"
Zhang Fugui was shocked by Zhou Cheng's big moves.
In order to prevent him from arguing suspicion, Zhou Cheng immediately explained: "My uncle understood one thing when he went to the mountain to deal with the Eighth Route Army these two days. No matter how much money he has, he can't be as good as a gun."
"No guns and no strength, the Zhou family compound may be captured by the Eighth Route Army at any time, and there will be nothing in the end."
"Instead of guarding a bunch of useless oceans all day long, it's better to replace them with guns and bullets to increase your strength."
"With guns, the strength of the Zhou family's guards can continue to expand and completely control several surrounding villages. In less than two years, the Zhou family's income in these villages can earn back the guns that bought them."
Zhou Cheng's explanation was reasonable and well-founded, and Zhang Fugui nodded repeatedly when he heard it.
As a traitor, he knows better than anyone else the importance of strength in this troubled times.
If it weren't for the fact that they had troops in their hands, the Japanese wouldn't have attached themselves so much importance to them. The reason was the same as what Zhou Cheng said just now.
I immediately replied: "I support your uncle's idea. I will agree to buy a gun. If you bring the ocean here three days later, we will pay the money and deliver the goods here."
Zhou Cheng left Donghui Town stronghold with a smile.
Although more than a thousand dollars of oceans were spent today, and more than half of the money seized from Zhou Xuhui was spent in the blink of an eye, Zhou Cheng confirmed that these oceans were worth the money.
Not only did he buy a precious machine gun for the village guard team, but he also won the village guard team for at least one month of rest.
As long as the village protection team can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible and their overall strength will become stronger and stronger, the ocean spent today will not take too long to return to the village protection team.
At the Donghui Town stronghold, Okazaki can already work and walk normally in the office, but he can't exercise vigorously.
These days, as long as you have time, you will stand in front of the map of Donghui Town, thinking about how to wipe out the Eighth Route Army hiding in Xiaoling Village at the minimum cost and take revenge.
"Report..." Zhang Fugui suddenly appeared at the door.
Seeing Okazaki nodding, he immediately walked in with a flattering smile: "Tajun, Bei Zhi just received good news."
"Zhou Xuhui from Zhouzhuang went into the mountain the day before yesterday to capture all the troublemakers in Xiaoling Village who were hiding inside, and used the troublemakers as hostages, forcing the Eighth Route Army lurking in Xiaoling Village away."
"In order to retaliate against the unruly people in the village, Zhang Fugui also snatched 1,500 kilograms of grain from them and sent it to the Imperial Army. Bei Zhi has already accepted the Taijun Dai!"
"Zhou Xuhui hopes that Taijun can surround Xiaoling Village once. He promises that in the future, Xiaoling Village will hand over Taijun at least 100,000 kilograms of grain every autumn harvest!"
If the Japanese want to completely control the occupied areas, support wars and support larger-scale wars, they cannot do without the Chinese people in the occupied areas.
If all the people were killed and no one grew food, they would lose their meaning if they occupied such a large area.
After listening to the guarantee that Xiaoling Village will pay 100,000 kilograms a year in the future, Okazaki's anger that was suppressed in his heart instantly calmed down more than half.
As the best commander of Donghui Town, in addition to ensuring the safety of Donghui Town, there is no trouble for the Eighth Route Army. How much grain is paid to the superiors every year is also an important indicator for the superiors to assess whether he is competent.
If a village can hand over 100,000 kilograms of grain, this year's autumn harvest will definitely bring the most grain to the captain of the Shangjiao team in Donghui Town.
Although this contribution is not as good as military achievements, it will also help you in your future promotion.
The only bit of anger that was not calmed was that the Eighth Route Army lurking in Xiaoling Village had escaped.
If you can't find someone, you will have no place to avenge your blood and you can't help but scold me.
"The cunning Eighth Route Army, sooner or later, I will tear them into pieces."
"Order all Chinese people in Donghui Town who are doing business for the Imperial Army to closely monitor this mountain. After discovering the traces of the Eighth Route Army, I will report it immediately. I will lead my troops to kill them myself."
Zhang Fugui knew that Okazaki's hatred for Xiaoling Village had disappeared, so he quickly replied: "Don't worry, Taijun, I'll make arrangements later."
"There is another thing that requires Taijun's consent, which is also related to Taijun's orders just now."
"explain!"
Although the ending was not very perfect, it was also good news. Okazaki's mood was obviously much better, and he looked at Zhang Fugui and asked.
Zhang Fugui reorganized the thoughts in his mind before speaking: "Taijun, this time we can take down Xiaoling Village and get so much food, Zhou Xuhui's guards have made a great contribution. They are familiar with the terrain of Donghui Town, understand the mountains, and dare to enter the mountains."
"Bizhi thinks we should support these local snakes more so that the imperial army can completely control Donghui Town."
"Just just now, when Zhou Xuhui gave food, he asked Bei Zhi to do a favor. I hope the Imperial Army can sell them two light machine guns, increase the strength of the guard team, and better control the place."
"I think this idea is very good. Many weapons seized by the Imperial Army and the Central Army were piled up in the warehouse and rusted. Not only can they increase the strength of the Imperial Army, but they can get a few troops that obey the Imperial Army's orders without any money and food, but they can also exchange a lot of military expenditure for the Imperial Army."
"Bizhi and Zhou Xuhui offer a light machine gun of two hundred oceans. If Taijun can get these equipment from the county town, these oceans will be yours!"
Ten minutes later, Zhang Fugui left Okazaki's office, his face full of smiles, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
Okazaki was moved by him, to be precise, wealth should be touching.
In front of Zhang Fugui, he promised: Tonight he would call the county town and request the expansion of the escort teams of each village and ask the county town to send a batch of weapons and ammunition.
The weapons and ammunition that Zhou Cheng wanted to buy came to Zhang Fugui's mouth, and it changed from a thousand oceans to six hundred yuan.
But Okazaki was not dissatisfied with any dissatisfaction because the six hundred oceans would eventually fall into his hands.
As for Zhang Fugui, it would be difficult to make 400 yuan in vain if he just talked.
