Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Qin Huaiyi was busy recruiting soldiers, while Gu Chenghai from Zhonghai County had sent people twice to urge the security corps to deliver the ordered guns as soon as possible.

In desperation, Su Zhengyang had to arrange Liu Gangding to be responsible for the arms transportation.

After some preparation, Liu Gangding led the security soldiers, loaded the rifles purchased by Feng Dingshan onto a donkey cart, and rushed to the base of the 29th Regiment in Zhonghai County.

Two days later, Liu Kangding led a company of security soldiers and successfully delivered guns to the 29th Regiment’s base.

Gu Chenghai came up to him warmly and said, "Deputy Commander Liu, why are you in charge of delivering the goods this time? You must stay for dinner no matter what. Last time, Chief of Staff Qin left without even a sip of hot water."

Liu Gangding politely exchanged a few words with Gu Chenghai.

Then he said, "I would like to stay and feel the enthusiasm of Captain Gu, but unfortunately the security team is very busy right now, and I have to rush back with my brothers as soon as possible."

"Hurry up and arrange for someone to inspect the goods. After the inspection, pay me the balance. I won't stay any longer. Next time I have the chance, I will come to stay with Captain Gu for a few days."

The soldiers of the 29th Regiment unloaded the boxes of rifles from the donkey cart. The Chief of Staff, Li Jiashang, did not greet Liu Kangding, but opened the boxes impatiently and began to inspect the goods.

Looking at the brand new committee rifles in the wooden box, Li Jiashang was delighted. After inspecting the goods and counting the number, Li Jiashang stepped forward and said to Liu Gangding: "There is no problem with the number and quality of the goods. I didn't expect that your security team would have such a way. Our Captain Su is really worthy of being the young master of the Soviet warlord. A lean camel is bigger than a horse!"

Liu Gangding looked at this and turned to Gu Chenghai and asked, "Who is this?"

Gu Chenghai pointed at Li Jiashang and introduced him to Liu Gangding: "This is Li Jiashang, the chief of staff of our 29th Regiment."

Liu Gangding greeted Li Jiashang politely.

"Since you have counted this batch of guns and there is no problem, then settle the balance. I have to take my brothers back to Sanjiang County immediately."

Gu Chenghai nodded, and then said to Li Jiashang: "Chief of Staff, please go and invite Brigade Commander Feng over and ask him to settle the balance with the Security Corps."

Li Jiashang rolled his eyes, agreed, and turned to Feng Dingshan's residence.

"Commander, the rifles from the Sanjiang County Security Corps have been delivered. It seems that the Security Corps does have some weapons. I have seen the guns they have delivered. They are all 100% new Commission rifles. They are definitely imported guns without any flaws or defects."

Feng Dingshan lazily put on his military boots, put his hands behind his back, and said to Li Jiashang: "This Su Zhengyang is really a bit of a thinker. The purely imported committee rifle is a rare item in our northwest."

"The people from the Sanjiang County Security Group are still waiting for you to settle the balance with them."

"Let's go and see it together."

Feng Dingshan brought Li Jiashang and several guards to the open space in front of the warehouse of the 29th Regiment.

"Take one of the guns sent by the Security Corps and let this brigade commander personally inspect it."

Li Jiashang ran into the warehouse like a lackey, took out a committee rifle sent by the security team, handed it to Feng Dingshan and said, "Commander, look at this purely imported committee rifle, it's different."

Feng Dingshan held the gun in his hand, examined it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction after a moment: "Not bad, with this batch of guns, I can arm three more battalions."

Liu Gangding, who was not far away, came up and said to Feng Dingshan, "This must be Brigade Commander Feng, right? The guns of our Sanjiang County Security Corps are naturally no problem. If Brigade Commander Feng is satisfied, please settle the balance."

"Balance payment? What balance payment? When I asked Xiao Gu to go to your Sanjiang County Security Team, didn't I bring all the payment for the goods with me?"

Liu Gangding narrowed his eyes and said, "Captain Feng, please don't joke with me. These guns are worth more than 30,000 dollars."

Gu Chenghai on the side also thought that Feng Dingshan was just joking.

Feng Dingshan said seriously, "I'm not kidding. The payment I'll give you is 3 yuan. As for the balance, I won't settle it with you."

Liu Gangding finally realized that Feng Dingshan was trying to rob his fellow thieves.

Liu Gangding looked at Gu Chenghai with a cold expression and said, "Captain Gu, we are doing business with Brigade Commander Feng only because of your face. It is not appropriate for Brigade Commander Feng to do this."

Gu Chenghai also walked forward with an ugly look on his face and said to Feng Dingshan, "Captain, what do you mean by this? I went to Sanjiang County to negotiate this deal for you. Now you want to rob your fellow thieves. Isn't this a slap in the face of me, Gu Chenghai?"

Feng Dingshan calmly patted Gu Chenghai on the shoulder and said, "Little Gu, there is a saying that good things should be owned by virtuous people. Isn't it a waste of such good guns and ammunition in the hands of a local security group?"

Gu Chenghai spoke again: "Master, you have to be honest when doing business. If you do this, no one will dare to do business with you in the future."

"My business with the Sanjiang County Security Corps was just a one-time deal. Do they still have the committee rifles? They must have been emptied out by me."

Previously, through indirect hints from Gu Chenghai, Feng Dingshan thought that the security team should only have more than 1000 committee rifles left.

Su Zhengyang was also cautious when doing business with Gu Chenghai and did not specify how much goods he had on hand.

"I don't have the balance here. If you keep pestering me, I'll kill you."

Feng Dingshan clapped his hands, and two or three hundred soldiers from the guard battalion surrounded him from all directions with rifles in hand, pointing their guns at Liu Gangding and his soldiers.

Liu Gangding sneered, "You're trying to play this trick on our security team, right? Feng Dingshan wants to rob his fellow thieves, and he's not afraid of breaking your teeth."

Liu Gangding said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Everyone, get ready. Whoever dares to touch our goods today will be killed."

The soldiers of a company of security regiment under Liu Gangding showed no fear at all. They all raised their rifles and confronted the soldiers of the guard battalion under Feng Dingshan.

"You're still angry, aren't you? I'm telling you, I have two regiments of soldiers outside. Believe it or not, if I give the order, none of your men will be able to leave today."

Gu Chenghai had a gloomy face and was about to speak again.

Feng Dingshan slapped Gu Chenghai loudly in the face.

"You can't even tell the difference between a frown and a frown. You don't know who you are, right? Shut up."

"I'm telling you little brats from the security team that today I'm not only going to rob you, I'm also going to take your guns. Put down your equipment and get back to your Sanjiang County."

A chaotic sound of footsteps was heard, and a large number of Feng Dingshan's soldiers surrounded them again.

Liu Gangding's mind raced. After all, this was Feng Dingshan's territory, and it seemed that Gu Chenghai had little say in front of Feng Dingshan.

A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. He first recorded the account with Feng Dingshan and then dealt with it after returning to the security team.
