Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

"The third draft of the Japanese list is pretty good. Let's call them back and tell them that we agree. As long as they prepare according to the details on this list, we will withdraw immediately."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Li Yunlong stopped forcing the Japanese.

He flicked the detailed list with his hand and handed it to Zhang Dabiao.

The corner of Zhang Dabiao's mouth twitched. He really didn't expect that the regiment commander could take so many things from the Japanese on a whim. It was really beyond his imagination.

In the past, he always believed that the head of the group had the potential to be a profiteer. After this negotiation under the city of Taiyuan, his guess was finally confirmed.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Yunlong glanced at his trusted general and asked.

"It's nothing, Captain. I just admire you, nothing else. It has to be you. Or is it that only you can be the leader of the independent regiment?"

Zhang Dabiao's flattery continued one after another and never stopped.

"Don't flatter me, kid. Do you need me to tell you that I'm the only one who can be the leader of the independent regiment? Go ahead and do it."

"Captain, why don't we talk to the Japs again?"

"There's nothing much to talk about. We have been delaying them for more than four hours from the beginning to now, and they are actually very cooperative and even tacitly delaying time with us.

I can only say that the Japanese didn't hold their fart well, that's enough.

Do you really think that this thing on paper can feed us?

Hey, I, Li Yunlong, am not even enough, and you still expect our commander to take these trivial matters into consideration?"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Dabiao on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Da Biao, these things originally belong to us. Letting the Japanese keep them for two days is giving them face.

You're using my stuff to get rid of me, how the hell is that justified?"

Li Yunlong asked back.

"outrageous."

"Okay, let's do it."

......

"Your Highness, the Eighth Route Army has responded. They agree to the price of our third draft. What do you think?" Yoshio Shinozuka reported to Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko holding a telegram.

"What's the price? Let me see."

"300 million silver dollars, 1 small yellow croakers, 400 electric motors, 600 industrial bearings, 30 sets of industrial tools..."

Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko was muttering the list.

"Can we come up with so many silver dollars and gold in such a short time? And these industrial components?"

Ningji Okamura listened to Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko muttering the list, and turned around to ask Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko.

"We in the First Army rarely use silver dollars to pay our soldiers. We do have some silver in reserve, but it is not enough for 300 million silver dollars, and we have no gold at all.

If you really need to make up some money, you can "borrow" some from the bank under the North China Political Affairs Committee.

As for these industrial products?"

Yoshio Shinozuka didn't know how to answer and could only stammer.

"Humph, you want to borrow some? They are already dependent on the locust army to survive, so it's fine to ask them to send it to you. Why are you asking them to borrow some? As for industrial products..."

Ningji Okamura was also troubled when he mentioned this issue. He had already seen that the military industry behind the Independent Regiment was very strong at that time. The focus of the Independent Regiment's request this time was on these industrial products rather than gold and silver. He knew that the Independent Regiment and even the Eighth Route Army had great ambitions.

If these industrial products were really handed over to the Independent Regiment at this time, it would be aiding the enemy and they would be sinners of the Locust Army.

"Industrial products? Are you really going to pay these Chinese troops in full?"

After reading the list, Prince Asaka Naruhiko flicked the paper and said meaningfully.

“Let me tell you two, don’t forget the purpose of our negotiations with these guys. We are trying to delay time, not to really give them these things.

Go, withdraw 200 million silver dollars and 2000 gold bars from the bank under the North China Provisional Political Affairs Committee, and send them to the Independent Regiment first.

Remember, the more fragmented the items you send to them, the better, and the less convenient it is to transport, the better.

They could even deliberately spill some of it so that the soldiers escorting them can see it. I don't believe their internal military discipline is that strict!"

Prince Asaka Naruhiko made the final decision.

"Hai!"

Neiji Okamura and Yoshio Shinozuka bowed at the same time in response.

"Remember, we only give them these things for them to keep temporarily. When our locust army reinforcements arrive, I will make them spit out what they ate with interest!"

Prince Asaka Naruhiko said coldly.

......

"No, did the Japs really send the silver dollars over here?"

Li Yunlong received a report from the front-line soldiers, saying that the Japanese had sent a small team to transport several large baskets of silver dollars. It seemed that they were all put together hastily, without any red envelopes, and were all scattered.

There was even a basketful of it sprinkled in front of the formation, it looked very silver and beautiful.

Old Li didn't expect this. He just wanted to talk nonsense with the Japanese. He was just using this thing to buy time. He didn't expect that the Japanese would actually send real gold and silver.

No, are the Japanese serious about this?

The Japs are really panicking.

"Yes, Commander. The leader of the Japanese said this is the first batch and they are still collecting more. It seems that the Japanese are collecting them sincerely. The scattered silver dollars are scattered all over the ground."

Zhang Dabiao had just returned from the front line and reported to Li Yunlong.

"Bullshit, sincerity is bullshit, if they are sincere, they will not take these scattered silver dollars, they will take the silver dollars in sealed envelopes, which is convenient for transportation and counting.

This damn thing has spilled all over the ground in front of our battle line. Are you testing our soldiers with this? Are you trying to disrupt our morale?"

Li Yunlong saw through the Japanese's intentions and started cursing at them.

"Captain, what should we do?"

Zhang Dabiao can understand these complicated things, but he can't be as thoughtful as Lao Li.

"What should we do? Go, give that Japanese squad leader who delivered the silver dollars a slap in the face, and tell him to go back and tell the Japanese leader that if he tries to be so clever with me again, I will fire my guns directly at their headquarters."

Li Yunlong said swearingly.

In fact, since the Japanese airport was bombed, these senior Japanese officers have moved their command positions. Lao Li doesn't know where the Japanese headquarters is now. He said this purely to intimidate these Japanese.

"Yes, Captain."

"When you slap him in the face, use more force. I want to make sure this leader of the Japanese squad can't have any hard food for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that the monk is not here, otherwise he would have given the devil a good beating."

Li Yunlong instructed.

"Okay, Captain, if I fail to complete the task you assigned to me, you can deal with me when I come back." Zhang Dabiao's mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear.
