My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Although these model machines are called model machines, they are not real models. They are called model machines only because they are not equipped with weapons.

But he couldn't care less about that now. Something was better than nothing. He just had to get the plane first and then equip it with some weapons.

At worst, he could just give up the weapons and hang some bombs on it to use it as a bomber. Anyway, real aircraft carriers have not appeared yet, so he doesn't have to worry about the threat from British fighter planes.

As for the anti-aircraft guns on the ship, they can be avoided as long as the plane flies higher.

So he immediately put forward his proposal, and Jack thought about it for a while, then agreed and told him that there were no suitable weapons at the moment.

If necessary, it will have to be transported back to the country by ship, and the round trip may take about three months.

Jiang Li had nothing to say about this and agreed.

But he suddenly remembered what Jack had said before, so he quickly asked, "Manager Jack, didn't you just say that your branch in China has a batch of training aircraft?"

"I wonder how long it will take for them to be delivered if I buy them?"

Jack nodded and smiled when he heard this. "That's true, Commander Jiang. We currently have eight training aircraft in the warehouse of our branch in Shanghai. If you want to buy one, it will only take one and a half months to deliver it."

Jiang Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bought the eight training aircraft. After signing the contract, he gave some deposit and then treated him to a banquet.

When they were almost done eating and drinking, Jiang Li, pretending to be drunk, leaned close to his ear and said, "Jack, you've seen it too. There are wars everywhere in China right now. I don't feel safe at all!"

"Uh," he burped and continued, "I heard that there are many companies in your country that can produce guns and cannons. If you can help me contact the seller, I will give you this amount as the middleman!"

As he spoke, he pointed his index finger at Jack.

Jack's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he asked tentatively, "Ten thousand dollars?"

Jiang Li shook his head when he heard this, but before Jack could get disappointed, he said firmly, "One percent!"

"And light and heavy machine guns, tanks and cannons are all fine. If you can get the production drawings of various machines and help me complete industrialization, I will also give you a large thank-you fee!"

When Jack heard that it was not 10,000 but 10%, his face immediately showed ecstasy and his breathing became rapid. He had heard about it when he came here. Jiang Li's territory is very large and he has 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers under his command.

The amount of arms needed is enormous. If I do my job well, I won’t be able to spend all this wealth in this lifetime, let alone in ten lifetimes.

So he immediately stood up excitedly and was about to pat his chest to make a promise, but Jiang Li held him down and said, "If it tastes good, eat more. If you go somewhere else, you may not be able to eat it."

Jack calmed down a little after hearing this.

This kind of thing really should be known by as few people as possible. If it were heard by his followers, there is no telling what might happen.

So he immediately smiled and assured Jiang Li, "Commander Jiang, don't worry, I will tell the company when I go back this time that your batch of goods must be delivered as soon as possible!"

When Jiang Li heard this, he smiled and chatted with Jack while eating, talking about some irrelevant things.

As for why Jiang Li didn't let Jack publicize it, it was because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed. After all, Jack was taking private jobs.

If his followers knew about this, they would probably blackmail him or report it to the headquarters. Boyne headquarters learned about this.

Either it's a monopoly or he becomes a second-hand dealer and makes a fortune in the middle, but he doesn't want to see either of these two.

He still hoped that Jack would do it himself in order to have a monopoly on the business. Then, maybe he could help bargain for him in order to increase the transaction volume.

After a good meal, he had the drunk Jack taken away to rest, and he returned home, where he started to criticize the cultivation issues of his two wives.

...

The next morning.

He practiced with the two women in the middle of the night, but instead of feeling tired, he felt refreshed because he had released the stress.

So he got up early, took a Essence Pill and started practicing, leaving the two women lying on the bed to continue resting.

As soon as the training ended, Ah San came in to report that Jack had come to say goodbye and asked if he wanted him to see him off.

Jiang Li laughed out loud upon hearing this, "Hahaha, it seems that the cake I painted is very tempting. We are already on the road without even taking a break!"

"Let's go and see him off!"

As he said that, he led the people to the dock. When he saw Jack, he walked up to him quickly and said, "Jack, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you take a rest first before you continue on your journey?"

"No, no, I see you're in a hurry, Commander Jiang. Why don't you leave earlier so as not to keep you waiting for too long?"

Jiang Li was just being polite and certainly wouldn't insist on keeping him, so he took a small box from Asan and gave it to Jack.

"Take those local specialties that Manager Jack brought yesterday and show them to your wife and children. Maybe they will like these little gifts from China!"

Jack was a little confused when he heard this, but he still took the box of "little gift". However, he immediately felt his hand feel heavy after he took it, and he instantly had some guesses in his mind.

Then he nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Commander Jiang, I will go and find out for you. In addition, I will have the company produce and deliver the 80 Boyne s and trainer aircraft you ordered as soon as possible."

"But have you really thought it through? Although the Boeing 80 has good performance, it may not be able to perform combat missions!"

That’s right, Jiang Li has ordered ten Boeing F2B-1 fighter jets and ten Boeing B-9 bombers.

Thirty civilian passenger aircraft and thirty training aircraft were also ordered, not for any other reason but because Boyne's current production capacity is limited.

He estimated that they would not be able to deliver all of them within one or two years, so he simply bought dozens of passenger planes and removed the seats when the time came.

By making some slight modifications inside and letting the soldiers push the shells inside with a fixed pulley, it can be directly transformed into a manually-delivered civilian bomber.

At worst, I can just fly lower. Anyway, there are not many forces in China that have fighter jets these days. It is not bad to use this modified bomber to bully those warlords who have no fighter jets.

So he didn't explain too much, "Don't worry about it, I know it myself, just send it to me!"

Jack didn't know what to say after hearing this, so he said goodbye to Jiang Li and turned away.

As Jiang Li watched Jack leave, he immediately thought of one thing, that is, he only had one airport now, and this would not do.

So he immediately took his men to the Qinghe County Branch of the Infrastructure Bureau and issued an order to allocate manpower to build twenty airports one after another.
