After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.
Chapter 76: Arms trade, using Japanese officers as commodities?
Hearing what Chen Changhe said, Qin Feng's eyes couldn't help but fall on him.
Planes, cannons, tanks? Yan Laoxi himself lacks these things, how could he get them?
Cannons are fine, but airplanes and tanks are especially not common goods. There probably aren't any decent troops armed with them in the entire northwest of Shanxi.
"Come." Chen Changhe waved his hand, motioning Qin Feng to follow him, "This is not the place to talk, come to my place."
Qin Feng didn't think that Chen Changhe would harm him, and he was also interested in the deal that Chen Changhe mentioned.
So he followed Chen Changhe's steps and walked forward.
After passing through a corridor and bypassing several buildings, the two arrived at an office.
When they arrived at the office, Chen Changhe took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and poured a glass for each of them: "Try it, Fenjiu, which is unique to Jin Province."
Seeing Chen Changhe raise his glass, Qin Feng had no choice but to raise his glass as well, and they both drank it all in one gulp.
He thought that this glass of wine would be very spicy like the white wine, but he didn't expect it to be soft in the mouth and sweet in the aftertaste.
Although Qin Feng didn't know much about wine, he knew that the taste was top-notch. At least this Fenjiu was not something that ordinary people could afford.
After a glass of wine, Chen Changhe opened up the conversation: "Just now at the military commander's place, Brother Qin had something to say, right?"
Chen Changhe was naturally present at the division-wide meeting just now, but he did not speak, so naturally not many people noticed him.
In response to Chen Changhe's question, Qin Feng also admitted openly: "Yes, I was planning to ask the commander for equipment."
Chen Changhe smiled playfully: "Then I guess, the equipment that Brother Qin wants this time should not be ordinary equipment, at least not some common goods that can be seen everywhere, right?"
Chen Changhe is worthy of being the minister in charge of logistics. He is very good at observing people's words and expressions and directly told Qin Feng what he was thinking.
Qin Feng was not panicked: "Minister Chen is right. I really don't plan to get ordinary equipment this time. Those things can no longer satisfy my troops."
To Chen Changhe's ears, these words sounded as if Qin Feng had given too many supplies and had no shortage of ordinary guns and bullets.
Chen Changhe couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that Brother Qin now has sufficient supplies and is full of confidence."
However, Chen Changhe did not delve into this, but immediately changed the subject: "As far as I know, Brother Qin, you still have a group of Japanese officers under your command, right? I'll be frank, I want these Japanese prisoners, name your price."
Qin Feng said calmly: "Minister Chen can really get me planes, tanks and cannons?"
Chen Changhe looked at Qin Feng suspiciously: "Brother Qin, I just said that, do you really want this kind of equipment?"
You have to know that things like airplanes and tanks are technical equipment. They don't mean you can use them immediately once you have them. You need to have corresponding technical soldiers.
Looking at the entire northwest Shanxi now, where are the conditions to train people for aircraft and tank soldiers? Even if he can really get them for Qin Feng, can Qin Feng use them?
Qin Feng did not explain Chen Changhe's doubts, but directly put forward another request: "Then please, Minister Chen, get me a set of military factory production equipment. I want to produce arms myself."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Changhe's eyes widened instantly: "Brother Qin, are you going to rebel?"
The equipment in this military factory is no joke. Whoever controls the production of munitions controls the lifeblood of an army.
This kind of thing is of utmost importance to their Jinsui Army, and private sales are absolutely not allowed. Even if Chen Changhe exchanges his head for it, he cannot get a set of equipment for producing arms.
Qin Feng was well aware of this. In fact, if he wanted to produce arms himself, the only possibility was to seize them from the Japanese, because the Japanese had seized a large amount of military equipment from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and there must be a lot of surplus.
At the moment, Qin Feng was just saying this. He knew that it was impossible for him to get military equipment from Chen Changhe. But after all, there is a saying that goes, if he wants to open a window, he must first propose to poke a hole in the roof.
Qin Feng smiled at Chen Changhe and said, "Minister Chen, if the production equipment is not possible, then let's go back to the planes and tanks. I want to ask if you have any relevant channels to get them?"
Chen Changhe gritted his teeth. He was extremely conflicted at the moment. On the one hand, he really wanted those Japanese officers and prisoners of war, but on the other hand, he was not sure if he could get the bargaining chips that Qin Feng wanted.
Qin Feng just looked at Chen Changhe quietly. It was originally a transaction led by the other party, but now he took the initiative with just a few words.
After some hesitation, Chen Changhe took a deep breath and said, "I can only try my best. After all...Brother Qin, you know this kind of thing is not easy to get. We have to deal with Shancheng. Currently, Shancheng is the only place in the whole Xia country that imports it."
When Qin Feng heard about Shancheng, he immediately understood. It seemed that Chen Changhe had established connections with Shancheng. No wonder he could boast that he could get planes and tanks.
From this perspective, it is not surprising why Chen Changhe wanted this group of Japanese officers. It was simply because Shancheng wanted the credit and wanted to make it work in this way.
Qin Feng's mind was full of thoughts, but on the surface he remained calm: "No problem, Minister Chen, as long as you can get them, I can provide you with a steady supply of Japanese officer prisoners."
"Continuously?" Chen Changhe's eyes lit up, "Brother Qin, are you serious?"
Qin Feng just smiled slightly. He certainly did not lie. With the combat effectiveness of his troops, Japanese officers were not rare.
"You will know later, Minister Chen. By the way, will there be any risk on Chief Yan's side?"
Qin Feng was referring to this matter, which might damage Yan Laoxi's credit. What if Yan Laoxi found out?
Chen Changhe shook his head: "This is why I came to you now. Commander Yan is busy preparing for the counterattack against the Japanese, so your affairs have naturally been put on hold."
"If Commander Yan wins a great victory, then these Japanese prisoners will naturally not be a big deal. If Commander Yan loses a great defeat, then he will have no time to care about these Japanese prisoners. In short... you know."
Qin Feng understood it immediately. It didn't matter to him anyway. He just needed to get the planes, tanks and equipment. As for whether it would harm Yan Laoxi's interests, he didn't care.
Anyway, it's all for the purpose of fighting the Japanese, so it doesn't matter who gets the credit and fame.
"Then let's settle the deal for now. I'll make it happen right away." Chen Changhe was very generous. "Once there is any news, I'll inform you as soon as possible. Brother Qin, remember to prepare the goods."
"Don't worry." Qin Feng nodded, and the deal was settled.
The once arrogant Japanese officers had become "commodities" in his mouth, used to trade for aircraft, tanks and other weapons and equipment.
After finishing the transaction, Chen Changhe started to make faces again:
"And Brother Qin, you have to perform well tonight and tell our Jinsui Army's top brass about your winning formula."
"And there are many big shots who are looking for a rich son-in-law. Would you like to consider it?"
