Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Li Qinwu agreed to the visit to Germany and planned to send 10 heavy grenadiers led by Li Xiang as the visiting team.

They would carry full sets of heavy ceramite armor, full weaponry, and dress like the Astartes to give Seer a little super-masculine shock.

The visiting team will also bring a Spitfire II submachine gun, a Type 2 modified tank, and one ton of ceramic steel powder.

Li Qinwu hopes to use these successful cases of ceramic steel weaponization to attract the attention of the German military and increase their intention to purchase ceramic steel items.

All expenses for this trip were borne by the German side. They chartered a merchant ship and secretly transported the goods and the giants to Germany.

Before Li Xiang and others left, Li Qinwu gave Li Xiang some instructions. In addition to asking them to use their giant bodies to shock Xier, they also had to actively contact the German military.

Only soldiers know the quality of weapons. Let them see how good the performance of tanks made of ceramic steel is, and then they will definitely strongly support the purchase of ceramic steel armor.

Of course, he also had some secret missions, some assassination missions, but that's for later.

After seeing off the German consul, Li Qinwu planned to go to the island space to take a look. The Punishment Army’s fleet was still parked in the island space, and the Pioneer was waiting to undergo a major modification.

The clones headed by Li Zhenghe were discussing how to modify the Pioneer. Li Qinwu was quite interested in the modification plan and planned to go and watch.

However, before he opened the portal and left, Li Jin reported to him that someone else had arrived.

"Boss, people from Chongqing and the national service are here."

Li Qinwu asked: "Who are these people?"

Li Jin took him to another reception room. After sending away one wave of people, another wave came. Li Qinwu felt that the plate of the Punishment Army was opened and it had become an organization that could be put on the table.

"The people from Chongqing include Vice Mayor Tao and Captain Wang. They should be here to discuss future cooperation. The person from the national server is more important. He's the one who does intelligence work. You know him."

"he?"

Li Qinwu stood where he was and cast an inquiring look at Li Jin, who nodded.

"Yes, that's him, the intelligence king of the Republic of China!"

Li Qinwu narrowed his eyes and continued to walk forward. As he walked, he said, "I remember that the Renaissance Society was established in March this year, and he served as the director. This incident allowed him to successfully enter the core circle of that person. Now that he is here, it seems that the Nationalist government is going to have a direct contact with our Punishment Army!"

Since the Punitive Army came to power, the Nationalist government has been trying to win them over and suppress them at the same time, sending people to recruit them from time to time, giving them numbers, and saying that the Punitive Army is the national defense force of the Republic of China and so on.

From time to time, newspapers say that the Punitive Forces are an illegal armed force and launch a wanted warrant for the main leaders of the Punitive Forces.

However, no matter how the Nationalist government clamored in the newspapers, it never took any action against the punitive army. It was like a lot of noise but no rain, and it was all empty talk.

And now, this intelligence king has been sent over, and the following conversation may very likely determine the relationship between the Nationalist government and the Punitive Forces.

Li Qinwu and Li Jin pushed open the door of the reception room. Several guests inside were already seated and chatting about something. When they saw Li Qinwu and Li Jin arrive, they all stood up and gave them enough face.

Li Qinwu went up to shake hands and greet them one by one. Everyone knew the officials from Chongqing, so they just exchanged a few words and left.

After shaking hands with the intelligence king, Li Qinwu looked at him twice more.

"Director Yu, I have long heard of your name. I did not expect to see you here. Nice to meet you."

Li Qinwu's words were not sincere. The main reason was that the other party was an intelligence agent who had been involved in many dirty things. He did not want to have a close relationship with him, especially since this person's beginnings were not so glorious and he sold out his classmates to get to the top.

Director Yu also had a smiling expression on his face, but upon closer inspection, it didn't seem very sincere.

"Director Li Qinwu, should I call you Director Li, or should I call you by another name?"

As an intelligence officer, Director Yu had already figured out Li Qinwu's background.

Li Qinwu had been working as a technician at the Fengtian Arsenal since his parents passed away. After the Japanese launched a surprise attack on Northeast China, he suddenly changed.

He went from being a cautious technician to the director of the weapons design department. He also led the technicians of the Fengtian Arsenal to move south to the Xiaoyi Arsenal, and later went to Chongqing to open a steel plant.

It is abnormal for an ordinary person to suddenly have the power to control his own destiny.

Director Yu suspected that Li Qinwu might be the spokesperson for the Punishment Army. As for who is behind him and whether the Shenyin Jushi organization is real or nonsense, it is unknown.

After exchanging greetings, both parties sat down and Deputy Mayor Tao took out a contract and placed it on the table.

He smiled and said, "Director Li, our superiors have agreed to the arms business we discussed before, so we will use the price plan given to us by Julong Company. Here, this is the contract."

"Oh, do you agree?"

Li Qinwu picked up the contract and read it carefully. The content of the contract was that Julong Company sold 35 ceramic steel tanks and 23 aircraft to Chongqing, with a total business value of more than 1000 million yuan, which was rounded off by Li Qinwu to 1000 million yuan.

Faced with this batch of advanced weapons, Deputy Mayor Tao and Captain Wang were drooling, but they were short of money and could not afford it.

After contacting his superiors, they agreed to find a way to raise funds, but they only gave him 500 million yuan.

Li Qinwu understood their situation and suggested that they pay 500 million yuan first and use the land to pay the remaining 500 million yuan.

He took a fancy to a 5000-square-meter piece of land on the edge of Chongqing city. It used to be a large park with a good flow of people. He hoped to turn the land into a museum.

The Punitive Army has been fighting the Japanese for such a long time that they have accumulated a lot of good stuff. Together with the cultural relics seized from the Great Wall, they are all good things worth exhibiting.

However, there has never been a good place to exhibit his works. Li Qinwu does not trust existing museums and is afraid that the works will become the private collection of foreign rich men. So Li Qinwu thought about building a museum himself.

At that time, he told Deputy Mayor Tao and Captain Wang about the payment plan, and the two went back to the leadership, but there was no word on whether the land would be approved or not.

Later, Li Qinwu was busy seizing the Great Wall battleship and didn't care about the land. He didn't expect that this matter would be accomplished today.

Li Qinwu smiled and handed the contract to Li Jin for him to sign. He said to the two of them, "Then this deal is done. You can send someone to take the tanks and planes away anytime!"

Deputy Mayor Tao said with a smile: "Director Li, we are also planning to hold a press conference to promote these heavy weapons we bought, so that all the young and old in Chongqing can join in the fun and have some fun."

Li Qinwu understood what he meant. The two Lius in Sichuan were about to fight. At this point, if they put the purchase of heavy weapons in the newspaper, it would undermine the morale of Liu Wenhui's troops.

Li Qinwu had no objection and asked Vice Mayor Tao to set a date for the press conference and let Li Jin attend it.

After talking about tanks and planes, Captain Wang took out another contract.

"Director Li, we want to place an order for 300 million rounds of ammunition with Julong Steel Plant. We hope to deliver the goods before August. I wonder if Julong Steel Plant can take this business?"

"Yes! Of course!"

Li Qinwu saw that there was still business to be done, so he quickly took the contract and saw that the other party had paid 300 million rounds of 6.8x57mm Mauser rifle bullets. This bullet was the most common bullet used in the Multi-Year rifles equipped by the Sichuan warlords.

Previously, Li Qinwu wrote a list to the Chongqing government, detailing what the Julong Steel Plant could produce, including this bullet.

Li Qinwu set the price of this bullet at 10 dollars, which was already a very cheap price. The bullets produced by other arsenals were 4 to 5 dollars per round, but the price here at the Julong Steel Plant was more than half the price.

(ps: I was a little surprised by the price of bullets I found on Baidu. They are so expensive. I thought one dollar could buy at least 1 rounds of bullets, but it turned out to be just this much.

I often heard that an anti-Japanese fighter only had two or three bullets in his bag. Now it seems that they are really expensive!)
