Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

After a small episode, Chu Feng's voice continued: "In addition to weapons and equipment and mechanical equipment, fertilizers and tractors are also major items. We purchased 200 million tons of fertilizers and 1000 tractors of three sizes, large, medium and small."

"We must keep our own grain in our own hands. We can purchase grain from abroad, but we cannot just buy from abroad. We must develop and utilize the arable land we have and increase per mu yield."

At this point, Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh and said, "There are too few irrigated lands in the river valley plains here. The land is still mainly mountainous and dry, so the per-acre grain yield cannot be guaranteed."

"If we can capture Suiyuan, Qiantao and Houtao are big granaries, and we won't have to worry about food problems."

After listening to Chu Feng's words, the others fell silent.

"We must get the machinery and equipment back from the Bear Country. This is our chance to build a basic industrial system."

After a few seconds of silence, Chu Feng's voice rang out: "With a basic industrial system, we don't need to talk about how advanced equipment and machinery we can produce. At the very least, we must have the production capacity."

At this point, he picked up two lists and said, "From the United States, I've ordered a batch of transport planes. Our air base only has fighters and bombers, so transport planes are also crucial."

"The transportation of many materials, including more expensive parts or spare parts, requires transport aircraft to transport them by air."

“In addition to that, I also purchased some engine production lines and some engine parts.”

"The amount involved on the US side is not much, just a few million dollars."

Chu Feng took out another list and said, "We need to pay special attention to Hans Country. I also ordered a batch of engines, about 1000 aircraft engines. Our flight base's primary trainer aircraft, if we want to transform it into a fighter, lacks a powerful heart."

"With these 1,000-horsepower engines, our 1st Independent Division won't have to worry about a shortage of aircraft in the next few years."

"In addition, I also purchased 30 Stuka bombers from Hans, as well as 100 Flak36 37mm anti-aircraft guns, as well as the corresponding shells, bullets, etc."

At this point, Chu Feng looked at Ge Dayong and Wang Tiezhu and said, "Weapons and equipment will take time to arrive, but I hope people will wait for the equipment, not the equipment waiting for people."

"Once the equipment arrives, it will be able to immediately form combat effectiveness."

"We can't just rely on the flight base. Once these production lines and machinery return, they will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese. We must protect them well."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Wang Tiezhu and Ge Dayong immediately responded and said, "Don't worry, Commander. We will continue to recruit new soldiers when we return. As soon as the weapons and equipment arrive, we will make them combat-ready as soon as possible."

After the meeting, everyone went about their own business.

On the second day, Chu Feng, who was inspecting a large automobile assembly plant, received a call from home saying that Major General Ivanov of the Bear Country wanted to see him!

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng knew that it was obvious that the two-day visit and the order worth tens of millions of rubles had completely impressed Major General Ivanov, oh no, it should be those people in the Soviet Union.

"General Chu, I just received a reply from the Ke Palace."

Now, after returning to Yuan County and meeting Major General Ivanov, before Chu Feng could speak, Major General Ivanov was the first to speak, saying, "After discussions with the Kremlin, they have provided the Independent 1st Division with an interest-free loan of 100 million rubles."

"The loan term is five years, and the loan can be paid in gold, minerals, or our rubles, dollars, pounds, or francs."

Chu Feng's eyes lit up when he heard Major General Ivanov's proposal.

Five years later, World War II has broken out. At that time, all the participating countries will face large-scale inflation.

One hundred million rubles today is worth 8000 million U.S. dollars. At that time, one hundred million rubles might have been worth 5000 million or 3000 million U.S. dollars, half of what it was worth. That was a huge profit.

Chu Feng said without hesitation: "Okay, I agree with this repayment method."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Major General Ivanov smiled happily and continued, "Of course, the condition for providing you with a loan is that if the Japanese army attempts to advance north, your Independent 1st Division must unconditionally go out and launch an attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army, involving some of their troops."

"In addition, we hope that the 100 million ruble interest-free loan will be used entirely to purchase products from our country."

"Also, we hope that the remaining 100 million rubles will be used to purchase products from our Bear Country. To show our sincerity, all supplies will be sold at a 30% discount, even for our latest equipment."

The current Bear Country seems to be a wealthy and powerful country, but it has just carried out a major purge. Not only is the country in chaos, but the economy is also not very prosperous. They also need a large number of orders to stimulate the economy.

The 200 million ruble order will naturally have a huge impact on the economy of the Bear Country.

These 200 million rubles did not earn any interest, but they were very valuable to them.

"Of course this is no problem!"

Chu Feng didn't expect that he just cheated Major General Ivanov, and the Russian Empire actually agreed to the huge request of 100 million rubles.

If the Nationalist government knew that I had secured an interest-free loan of 100 million rubles with just a few words, and that they were still negotiating with the people of the Bear Country, they would definitely be very happy.

Chu Feng readily agreed and said, "We will buy these supplies no matter whose they are, but my requirements are not low."

"I want a discount. I won't agree if you charge too much."

"I have to be guaranteed quality. I can't have the same product produced by multiple factories, only to have each one be different."

Major General Ivanov felt a little embarrassed when he heard Chu Feng say this.

indeed!

Compared with products from other countries, products from the Bear Country can be considered to be of high quality and low price, but there is also a problem, which is that they are crudely made.

Can you believe that parts of the same product produced in different factories are not interchangeable?

After the embarrassment, Major General Ivanov immediately patted his chest and said, "General Chu, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you with the product quality."

"Ok!"

After putting a tight ring around the bear countrymen, Chu Feng's voice continued to ring out, saying: "The new list of supplies worth 100 million rubles will need to wait a while. I need to discuss it here."

"However, I have a request. I plan to send a group of people to study in your country's military academies, factories, and research institutions."

“In addition, you must organize a group of technicians to come here to assist us in the installation and mastering of these production lines.”

"At the same time, these people are also responsible for issues such as personnel training on our side."

"Of course, don't worry. Their supplies are under the responsibility of our Independent 1st Division."

Talent cultivation has always been Chu Feng's main focus. When he encounters a neighbor like the Bear Country where he can fleece the sheep, he must fleece them all.

Moreover, production lines and mechanical equipment are not something that can be installed just by purchasing them; technical personnel are also needed for their installation.

He not only wants to send people to the Bear Country, but also wants the Bear Country to send people to work for him and provide him with training.

"no problem!"

When Major General Ivanov heard this question, he agreed without even thinking about it.

Next, the two discussed some other issues. After finding that everything was explained clearly, Chu Feng picked up a bottle of 60-proof Fenjiu that was sent to him.

Then he poured a glass for himself and Major General Ivanov, raised his glass with a smile, and said, "Major General Ivanov, to our friendship and our happy cooperation, cheers!"

Smelling the smell of alcohol, Major General Ivanov's eyes suddenly lit up, and he also raised his glass and clinked it with Chu Feng.

"cheers!"

The two of them drank the wine in their glasses with a smile.

"It's fucking hot!"

Feeling the spicy taste of the 60-proof Fenjiu, Chu Feng couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Major General Ivanov, on the other hand, had a look of satisfaction on his face. It was obvious that this high-proof Fenjiu was very much to his liking.

Chu Feng and Major General Ivanov did not need to worry about the follow-up matters. Chu Feng, who was in a good mood, hosted a banquet for Major General Ivanov.

Only after Chu Feng called two or three soldiers who could drink three or four kilograms of alcohol and got Major General Ivanov drunk did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He watched Major General Ivanov being carried away, leaving him alone in the room.

"Hahahaha!"

Chu Feng, who had been holding it in for the entire afternoon, finally couldn't help but burst into laughter at this moment.

"What do you mean by win-win?"

Chu Feng couldn't help but light a cigarette and leaned back in his chair: "It's a win-win situation. I win twice!"
