During the Anti-Japanese War, the landlord's stupid son defied fate

After listening to what Mr. Situ said, Zhao Gang turned his gaze to the representatives.

At this time, it was obvious that a look of impatience had appeared on his face.

After a while, Zhao Gang was heard speaking slowly.

"Well, I understand why you came here.

But before that, I'd like to know how much equipment you need to be satisfied."

At this moment, Commander Li, who had been silent all the time, heard what Zhao Gang said and immediately responded.

"Currently, the vast majority of our soldiers are new recruits who have just joined the army. If we want to train them into a team with truly strong combat effectiveness, it will take a considerable amount of time!

Moreover, there is a big gap in weapons and equipment in our army now.

After some rough estimation, we estimated that we would need about two million people with all kinds of equipment.”

After saying these words, Commander Li paused for a moment, and then added an explanation.

"The reason for making such a demand is entirely based on comprehensive consideration of the current overall situation.

If we could truly possess such a large number of sophisticated and advanced weapons and equipment, we would naturally have more confidence and strength when dealing with those hateful devils! "

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else present nodded in agreement.

"Also, we are in urgent need of military equipment such as airplanes and warships!

Among them, the plane must be considered first!"

Commander Zhang added seriously.

The look of his frown made it clear at a glance how urgent and important the matter was.

After listening to Commander Zhang's words, Zhao Gang spoke and asked.

"So, with all these things added up, how much are you going to spend?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room fell silent and everyone turned their eyes to Commander Zhang.

Commander Zhang took a deep breath and then answered slowly.

"Before we decided to leave, the High Command and the Finance Department conducted a detailed calculation of the required expenses.

If you want to fully meet the current requirements, a rough estimate is that you will need about 2 billion Eagle Sauce coins!

This is not a small amount!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang nodded slightly, indicating that he had a preliminary understanding of this number.

Then he asked again.

"In that case, are you planning to purchase these equipment on loan this time?"

Commander Zhang looked at the people around him again, and finally stopped his gaze on Zhao Gang. He nodded seriously and said.

"Yes, that's exactly what we came here with. We originally thought we could easily obtain funds through loans to purchase the necessary armaments, but who would have thought..."

Having said that, Commander Zhang paused, a look of helplessness showing on his face.

Commander Zhang sighed and continued to explain.

"Alas, after we arrived here, we discovered that the clear reply from the Eagle Sauce side was that the loan could only be used for projects such as people's livelihood, and was absolutely not allowed to be used to purchase any weapons or other resources!

So this situation really puts us in a difficult situation right now!

That’s why I’ve come to you today to ask for your help and see if you can help us properly resolve this difficult problem.”

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Zhao Gang, who had been listening quietly, widened his eyes in shock, but even the knowledgeable and experienced old man Situ beside him was dumbfounded. For a moment, the entire conference room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Two billion!

This is not a small amount of money. It is too cruel to ask people to take it out all at once.

However, faced with such a huge amount of money, Zhao Gang did not get angry. He still maintained his proper composure and demeanor, and looked at the young and energetic man in front of him very politely.

Zhao Gang spoke slowly.

"Do you know how many years of fiscal revenue our Yan Nation has in store for these 2 billion?

To tell you the truth, even if the entire nation went without food and drink for twenty years, and the total output of all industries and other sectors in the country was added together, it would be possible to barely pay off this huge debt."

Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to respond to such sharp questions.

Zhao Gang continued to question while the iron was hot.

"Don't you really understand why?

The reason why they choose to provide you with financial support in batches in the form of loans and stipulate that it can only be used to purchase daily necessities is simply because they are worried that you will act recklessly and use the money indiscriminately.

Furthermore, even if you succeed in purchasing these daily necessities, how can you ensure that they can be distributed fairly and justly to those who really need them? "

A series of resounding rhetorical questions plunged the scene into silence.

Finally, Zhao Gang took a deep breath and added in a firm tone.

"So, I can only apologize here to tell you that I am really powerless and cannot provide any help regarding this matter.

After all, this matter involves a wide range of issues and has a significant impact. Given my current abilities, it is indeed difficult for me to undertake such a difficult task."

Zhao Gang's straightforward refusal not only showed his clear position, but also made many people present clearly realize that his attitude towards this matter was extremely firm and there was no room for negotiation.

"No, you are so rich, why can't you help out a little?

Are the interests of the country not as important as your personal gains and losses?"

A young woman said indignantly.

She widened her eyes and stared at Zhao Gang in front of her, as if she wanted to see through him.

Zhao Gang frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the young woman who spoke so fiercely, and he was secretly surprised.

Whose child is this?

How can you be so impulsive and reckless that you can't even understand basic principles!

This is not a place where you can act like a spoiled child or talk nonsense.

Zhao Gang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and responded slowly.

"Haha, the two commanders are naturally aware of the contributions I have made to the country.

Without my strong support, how could the country have so many advanced weapons and equipment and powerful artillery forces? "

Having said this, he paused for a moment, looked around at the people around him, and then continued.

"Moreover, my troops are not only distributed in important cities such as Jin Province, Jinling, and the Magic City, but their actions actually provide strong support and protection for you indirectly."

At this time, Zhao Gang changed the subject and raised his voice.

"Especially during the difficult period of the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese command system was largely paralyzed, and the contributions of my brothers were indispensable.

You can't be so naive as to think that all this is caused by the devils' own actions, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at each other with expressions of sudden enlightenment on their faces.

It turned out that he had never known the inside story before. Now, after hearing what Zhao Gang said, he finally woke up from his dream and understood the truth of the matter.
