The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 185 Spring is here
When Hu Biao picked up Annie and returned to the Deyue Building shop, Sister Lin and Siyan had already closed the shop and gone home.

After getting off the car, Annie immediately started walking around the store, especially looking left and right at the two storefronts under the new property next door, looking very interested.

Even the various furnishings and arrangements were something she had seen countless times in previous videos with Hu Biao.

However, this girl, who unconsciously and successfully put herself into the role of the future boss lady, felt that she could never get enough of it.

The sense of accomplishment in my heart is greater than becoming the spokesperson for a brand.

Even in the 26th year of the Republic of China, the beating given to Yoshiko Kawashima in Shanghai was even more intense.

While Annie was walking around, Hu Biao smoked a cigarette to calm himself down before starting to prepare dinner for Annie.

In order to have a good meal at Deyue Building, this girl not only skipped the free in-flight meals, but she even skipped lunch today.

It’s just to save space in my stomach for the big meal in the evening.

During the day, Hu Biao also prepared the ingredients for dishes such as twice-cooked pork, Maoxuewang, and pork stewed with vermicelli early, waiting to be put into the pot for processing.

At this moment, he was in high spirits and showed off his cooking skills, skillfully making several of his best dishes one by one.

Among them, Hu Biao learned how to make pork stewed with vermicelli at the Sihang Warehouse.

I made it again after I came back, and it tasted surprisingly good. Today, I just wanted to let Annie, a girl who grew up in Northeast China, taste the taste of her hometown.

As for why Hu Biao took time to smoke a cigarette before cooking after returning?
Of course, it is because although the Wuling Zhiguang, which is owned by many people, also has a heating function, the temperature in the capital city is close to zero degrees at this moment, so the effect is really not that great.

But in order to look beautiful, Annie's windbreaker was not very warm; after Hu Biao put his coat on her, he was freezing all the way back.

After going to the island country, Anne, who was very greedy, finally had a satisfying meal.

After the meal, it was almost 12 o'clock, but Hu Biao was not asked to send it back immediately.

Well, don't overthink it.

So far, Hu Biao and Annie's relationship has only developed to the point of holding hands and hugging, and both of them are enjoying this natural pace of development.

The reason why Annie was not sent home immediately was simply because they, the time travelers, had to hold a video conference later which required everyone to participate.

The main topic of the meeting was to discuss what preparations should be made for the next time travel in the next twenty days...

******
At 12 o'clock in the evening, a group of old men carefully hid behind their families.

In the study, in the bathroom, or in a remote corner of the office, they log into an APP and the video conference begins.

The first person to speak was Black Star, who had already confirmed that he would not participate in the next time travel.

Let him speak first because the ten people who participated in this mission brought back spoils.

Everyone has a copy of the photo of Captain Xie and the brothers of the 524th Regiment in the warehouse, and the photo with the message written by the great man.

Apart from these, what everyone brings back is different.

There were weapons, helmets, binoculars, gas masks, bayonets, etc., but the quantity was not large.

Especially in terms of weapons, Hu Biao brought back Young Master Feng's pistol, Uncle Bo brought back the Type 97 sniper rifle, and Chen Tang brought back Black Star's Czech light machine gun.

And then, there were no other weapons.

It just so happens that something like the Hetian jade boy pendant in Black Star's hand is valuable and something they are willing to spend, and it is the only one of its kind.

Annie was unable to bring back the other twenty or so valuable items she bought in Shanghai in 1937.

In this case, the funds for purchasing weapons and supplies next time I travel through time can only come from such a Hetian jade boy pendant.

Otherwise, asking everyone to pay money to fight the Japanese is not a solution, right?

Fortunately, after Black Star opened his mouth, he also said some very good news: "I have asked around these past two days, and this jade pendant is an absolute masterpiece and can be sold for a good price.

If it were to be put up for auction, the estimated selling price would be no less than 160 million.

However, the auction needs to be warmed up, and it takes a certain amount of time for buyers to make payments; the earliest it can be auctioned is next month, and it will take at least one and a half months to get the money, or even later.

If you sell it to a private person, you can get the money immediately.

However, the highest bid is only 135 million. There is a huge difference of 25 between the two operations. How do you think it will be handled?"

"Sell it to a private individual. The money will be gone by the time you get it in a month and a half." Big Fat Huang A-di suggested.

In response to Huang A-di's statement, others also spoke up and agreed, and the main idea was to deal with the next time travel first.

Seeing this, Hu Biao spoke and confirmed, "Black Star, let's just get rid of that 135 million. As for what to do with this money? Take out 15 and pay off the credit card debts we incurred for the purchases before our last time traveling."

Take out another 10 to buy various supplies.

There are still 110 million left, so let's find a way to transfer it to the soldiers to purchase weapons.

Now let's move on to the next topic. According to the latest exchange rate, these 110 million RMB can be exchanged for a little over 15 US dollars. Let's all suggest what weapons can be purchased.

When hearing Hu Biao's question, Annie remained calm.

Every one of the others, especially Black Star, Chaozi, AT, Huang A'di, Dachui and others who participated in the second time travel, had indescribable excitement on their faces.

Goodness! When have they ever fought such a prosperous war?

Last time, in order to raise money to buy weapons, equipment and supplies, they even lowered the quality of their smoking by one or two levels, and finally they only managed to raise more than 20,000 US dollars.

I have a lot of better equipment but I don’t have the money to buy it. The depressing feeling is so painful just thinking about it.

With their spirits lifted, everyone put forward their own opinions based on the valuable experience gained in the mission.

Black Star: "I'm thinking about light firepower. We can't continue to purchase Thompson submachine guns. The main reason is that only Yan Laoxi produces 11.43mm caliber bullets, and it's quite difficult to replenish them.

So my suggestion is that Lao Huanggua should purchase some MP18 or MP28 submachine guns.

And the caliber is preferably 7.63mm, because it is compatible with the ammunition of the Mauser pistol. At that time, many small factories in China could produce this kind of bullet, so it was much easier to find. "

Faced with this suggestion, everyone quickly adopted it.

The main problem was that the 11.43mm bullets were difficult to replenish, which they had clearly experienced last time at the Sihang Warehouse; a Thompson submachine gun without bullets was no more useful than a fire poker.

Amidst the chorus of approval, Hu Biao concluded with a general summary:
"I won't buy the Thompson submachine gun. I'll switch to the MP28 this time.

After all, it is an improved version of the MP18. I remember that the firing mechanism has a rate of fire selector function, which allows single and continuous fire, and the sights have been improved, so it is somewhat easier to use.

While Hu Biao was speaking, Annie, who was sitting next to him, took out a small notebook and wrote this down.

After this meeting is over, the content discussed by everyone will be compiled into a memorandum and sent to all participants to avoid forgetting.

Although she was not wearing the iconic skirt and socks of an office lady and dressed as a female secretary, she looked exactly like Hu Biao's secretary.

Dead Fish also suggested, "We should get at least a few German MG34 general-purpose machine guns, right?

Its ammunition is the same as that of the Zhongzheng rifle and the Czech machine gun, which are all 7.92*57mm Mauser rifle bullets. It is easy to reload and has a strong firepower.

"Yes, but only two this time. We can't handle too many if we buy more."

After hearing this, Hu Biao agreed to the suggestion almost immediately.

Then, after thinking of something, he added, "Old Cucumber, remember to buy more K-type bullets that can be used against armor, at least 300 rounds. These bullets can hit the enemy armored vehicles with a single shot.

Oh, and buy an anti-tank gun to fight the enemy tanks. I won't specify the model, just buy whatever you like."

Uncle Bo nodded and agreed to Hu Biao's request.

Through the purchases before his last time travel, he had found these antique weapons and channels to buy imitations; now as long as he has enough US dollars, he can buy them without any effort.

The only question he raised was:
"Based on our previous experience, we cannot use any means of transportation when crossing. All supplies must be carried by manpower, and the maximum limit per person is 100 kilograms.

There's so much equipment and weapons being procured this time, I'm afraid I can't carry them all by myself."

"Buy it first. Then I'll see who to send to help you carry the supplies across the river." Hu Biao answered, which was considered to be a settlement of another issue.

Uncle Bo's voice had just fallen, and Chen Tang, who still had a fresh memory of the Japanese planes, raised a very critical question:

"Dead on the street, what should we do with our anti-aircraft weapons..."

In the following time, with everyone's continuous and enthusiastic speeches, the list of weapons and equipment needed for the next crossing was gradually finalized one by one.

Compared to the discussion before the last time we traveled through time, everyone was obviously much more at ease.

And as the number of time they travel through time increases, Hu Biao and the others will become more and more familiar with the routines of that mysterious place. One day, they will be more relaxed and can make a bigger noise.

In the end, the meeting lasted until 1:, and by the time Hu Biao sent Annie to the gate of the community, it was already : in the middle of the night.

After reluctantly parting with Hu Biao, Annie walked in the community dragging a large suitcase.

Only then did I realize that although the cold wind was howling and making me feel cold, the trees had already quietly sprouted some new buds. It turned out that spring had arrived...
