Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Zhang Yunhe took off his hat, took off his suit, walked to the desk and sat down.

A staff member immediately brought tea.

After taking two sips of tea, Zhang Yunhe said, "Nostok has given me an armed merchant corps of 2500 men. I will be the commander and will report directly to the Governor-General's Office. A slightly larger number of men, around 3000, should be no problem. Anyway, we will cover the military expenses ourselves, and the Governor-General won't have to pay a penny."

Everyone was delighted after hearing this, especially Tian Tao. He said happily, "Now I can sleep peacefully. The brothers have only started training for two months and haven't even touched a gun yet. If Noskte really sends people to forcibly disperse us, we really have no way to deal with it!"

"Boss, what about the remaining 8000 people? Do we really have to disband them?"

"Of course not. Now that we have recruited them, how can we disband them so easily? We should continue training as usual, but not as blatantly as before. However, the subjects of firearms shooting training must not be deducted. Artillerymen and pilots must also be trained. We don't have much time left!" Zhang Yunhe said with a serious face.

Everyone's faces changed slightly after hearing this. Tian Tao couldn't help but ask, "Boss, could it be that the Japanese really dare to attack here? Do they dare to turn against the British?"

Zhang Yunhe lit a cigarette. "Western interference in Eastern affairs has long made the Japanese extremely dissatisfied. Now the fighting over there is so intense that they have no time to look east. Anything can happen. We are doing this on the one hand to protect ourselves and prevent those foreigners from taking advantage of the rich. On the other hand, of course, it is to prevent the Japanese."

"If the Japanese really attack us, we won't just sit there and wait to die!"

Someone immediately chimed in: "Boss, you're right. I've finally figured it out over the years. These days, you can't trust anyone. You can only rely on yourself. Those foreigners may seem to be mediating, but ultimately, aren't they doing it for their own benefit?"

"If we didn't have weapons and armed forces, even without the Japanese attacking us, those foreigners would definitely slaughter us like fat pigs!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

At this time, Tian Tao asked: "Boss, when will the weapons and ammunition be distributed to the brothers? How much will be distributed? According to what organization will the equipment be equipped?"

Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "I'll think about this first. We'll have a meeting tomorrow morning to decide. You all go back and discipline everyone. Since we're about to form an army, we absolutely cannot allow our brothers to engage in ruthless behavior like bullying men and women. If anyone's subordinates make a mistake, I'll punish them. Do you understand?"

"Yes, boss!"

In the evening, Zhang Yunhe sent someone to deliver a bank cash draft of 400,000 pounds to the Governor's Office.

A bank draft is issued by a bank. When the holder goes to the bank, the bank must unconditionally pay the money upon sight, regardless of who the holder is. This thing has a higher credit guarantee than a cash check. When the holder of a cash check goes to the bank to withdraw cash, the bank must verify with the check issuer.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Zhang Yunhe has sent someone!" The secretary in the Governor's office knocked on Nosket's door and reported.

"Invite him in!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!"

The person sent by Zhang Yunhe was Ah Gui. He had come with Zhang Yunhe in the morning. He did not enter the office at that time, but when the office door was opened, Nosket had seen his appearance and therefore had an impression of him.

"What's the matter with Zhang sending you to see me?" asked Noskette.

Ah Gui glanced at the secretary, and Noskte understood and waved to the secretary.

After the secretary left the office and closed the door, Ah Gui took out the bank draft from his pocket, walked over, put his hands on the desk, pushed it in front of Northcutt and said, "Sir, this is my boss's order for me to deliver it. It's a HSBC bank draft for four hundred thousand pounds!"

Northcott glanced at the bank draft, then calmly put it away in the drawer. He looked up at Ah Gui and said, "Go back and tell Mr. Zhang that I will personally present him with the letter of appointment at the Governor's Mansion in two days. I will also invite all the senior officials, gentlemen, and wealthy families in Hong Kong to attend!"

Ah Gui immediately said, "Thank you, sir. I will tell the boss the truth!"

After returning, Ah Gui repeated Northket's original words to Zhang Yunhe.

Zhang Yunhe smiled and said to everyone, "Look, this is what money makes the world go round!"

Someone nearby was puzzled: "But Noskte is a human, not a ghost!"

"He is a foreigner, and also a ghost!" said another person.

Everyone laughed.

The next morning, Zhang Yunhe called a meeting with Tian Tao and other subordinates to discuss the organization of the armed merchant corps.

Zhang Yunhe gave a general opinion on the organization. After discussion among everyone, it was decided that the armed merchant corps would be organized into a regiment. The nominal number of people was 2500, but the actual number was 3100, equivalent to the size of a reinforced regiment.

The armed merchant corps consists of three infantry battalions, a reconnaissance company, a guard company, an artillery battalion, a tank battalion, an engineering company and a baggage company, with an additional pilot company.

"That's basically the situation. Regarding the issue of military pay and allowances, I'll have someone formulate reasonable regulations for military pay and allowances and announce them to each unit later!"

"As for the remaining nearly 8000 personnel, assign them all to the reserve force and conduct the same military training. The training intensity and treatment will be reduced compared to the regular force!"

Tian Tao asked, "Boss, what about the weapons?"

Zhang Yunhe glanced at the plan and said, "An ordinary soldier will be issued a Garand rifle, a steel helmet, two sets of uniforms, boots, and socks, a water bottle, an aluminum lunch box, a bayonet, an ordnance shovel, a belt, and an ammunition pouch!"

"In addition to the above equipment, squad leaders and platoon leaders are also issued a Browning pistol. In addition, officers in combat units starting from platoon leader onwards are issued a pair of binoculars!"

"In addition to rifles, each squad is also equipped with a squad light machine gun. During combat readiness and combat, each soldier is issued a basic number of bullets and five grenades!"

"Starting from the platoon, there is a heavy machine gun squad and a mortar squad providing fire support!"

"Starting at the company level, there will be a communications squad equipped with a radio and two landline telephones, and an additional firepower platoon..."

一个加强团，3100多人，硬是给张云鹤整出来一个师的感觉，一个炮兵营就配备了60辆边三轮、五十辆卡车，24门75山炮、12门105野炮、12门155野炮、36挺高射机枪和18门高射炮。

A tank battalion was equipped with 36 medium tanks and 12 trucks.

Seeing such weapons and equipment, Tian Tao and others couldn't help but swallow their saliva, "Boss, with this kind of weapons and equipment, I'm afraid a battalion of soldiers won't have enough manpower. These weapons are more than enough to equip an entire division!"

Zhang Yunhe waved his hand and said, "I have no shortage of weapons and ammunition. Now is the era when firepower is king!"
