I raised the telescope and found a freighter flying the Union Jack. Oh, it belongs to the British. That should be right.

A British freighter departing from Singapore successfully landed ashore with an artillery battalion.

There is another prompt on the map. A marked white point enters the range.

I checked and found that it was Catherine.

It's a real deal. It's given to me. She's here to hand it over.

"James Zhang!"

"Beauty."

"Zhang, I have already delivered the artillery battalion you requested."

"Thanks!"

"I didn't break my promise, did I?"

"No."

"Then arrange the unloading!"

"good."

Zhang Yong immediately called Yuan Zheng to arrange the unloading.

That's right, twelve 75mm field guns, plus 500 rounds of artillery shells.

I went up and touched it carefully and found that the cannon was indeed a good cannon. The quality was very good, but the number of shells was a little less. It was only 500 rounds.

In a small-scale battle, it might still be useful. In a big battle, it would stretch the crotch.

"Zhang, we have artillery shells."

"what price?"

"Only twenty pounds a round."

"Very cheap……"

Zhang Yong replied bitterly.

A shell costs twenty pounds. You might as well grab it!

After conversion, it has exceeded 250 oceans. Even if it is 10,000 oceans, it can only buy 40 rounds of artillery shells.

too dark.

However, the artillery shells at that time were so expensive.

This is still the most common 75mm artillery shell. If it is those 105mm artillery shells, the price will be several times higher.

No way, you can't mass-produce it yourself.

Can only buy.

The quantity purchased was not large.

The unit price is naturally extremely high.

The same goes for heavy artillery imported from the Germans.

Because of the high price, the number of matching shells is very rare and not enough for use.

It is impossible to use live ammunition in daily training.

One 105mm artillery shell costs hundreds of dollars! Who can afford it?

Not to mention those 150mm artillery shells. They can easily reach thousands of oceans. They are simply golden lumps. Only the theater commander is qualified to use them.

"I can give you a discount."

"How many?"

"One fold."

"hehe."

Zhang Yong laughed dryly.

One percent off in English is actually ninety percent off in Chinese. It means a 10% reduction.

Cannonballs are so expensive that even with a 50% discount, you can't afford them. Let alone only a 10% discount?

90% is not more than a hundred oceans?

"can not afford."

"That would be a shame."

Catherine blinked, full of shrewdness of a profiteer.

She is not afraid that Zhang Yong cannot afford it.

As long as you need to use those field guns, you must buy shells.

Otherwise, what do you want those field guns for?

Bought as a decoration? Then captured by the enemy? Is it equivalent to giving it to others?

"yes!"

Zhang Yong was indifferent.

This woman is also a profiteer. She tricks herself.

Later generations used this same method to sell printers...

Printers are cheap.

Original ink cartridges are expensive.

However, the printer also has non-original ink cartridges, but the cannonballs do not.

Large-caliber artillery shells can only be produced by a few industrially powerful countries. You can't buy them at all. No matter who sells them, they are sold at sky-high prices.

Under the control of others!

well……

"I'm looking forward to your good news!" Catherine said goodbye with a smile.

"It's better to leave without seeing him off." Zhang Yong waved his hand angrily.

Call Commander Qian back.

Zhang Yong would definitely not dare to handle these Italian cannons privately.

After all, this is a cannon, not a gun. There are so many of them. Moreover, there are German munitions next to them. There are three 105mm howitzers!

With so much arms involved, if anyone handled it privately, Chiang Kai-shek would not be able to sleep well.

"Shaolong, what's the matter?"

"Commander Qian, the British gave me a batch of artillery..."

"What did you say?"

Commander Qian thought he heard wrongly.

What did the British give you?

artillery?

Are you talking in your sleep in broad daylight?

If the other party was not Zhang Yong, he might have already started to reprimand the other party.

"It's a 75mm mountain gun."

"real?"

"It has been unloaded at Wusongkou Pier. There are twelve guns in total. There are also 500 rounds of artillery shells."

"Wusongkou Pier?"

"right."

"Wait a minute. I'll send someone over immediately to check."

"good."

"It's not that I don't believe it. It's that I have to confirm it and then report it to the committee. I believe the committee will be very happy."

"clear."

"I'll send someone right away."

"etc……"

"what else?"

"In addition, there is a batch of German arms..."
