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

Just as Major General Zhang and Major Qin left, Commander Yang Wu of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army arrived.

"Captain Chu!"

After seeing Chu Feng, Commander Yang Wu greeted him with a smile, then handed him a telegram and said with a smile: "This is a telegram from our Eighth Route Army Headquarters."

"Oh?"

Chu Feng was stunned when he heard this, and took it to have a look. The content on it was the Eighth Route Army commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief and other leaders congratulating Chu Feng and the Shanxi-Northern Anti-Japanese Independent Regiment on their victory.

And the Eighth Route Army Headquarters hopes that everyone can join hands to fight against Japan in the future.

"hehe!"

After quickly reading the telegram, Chu Feng smiled and put it aside, saying, "Thank you for the congratulations from the Eighth Route Army. I would love for you to join forces to fight against Japan."

"The War of Resistance is not just the responsibility of Chu Feng and the Eighth Route Army alone. It is the shared responsibility and obligation of the 400 million Chinese people. I am naturally very happy for everyone to join hands in the fight against Japan."

Chu Feng expressed his attitude with a smile, and Captain Yang Wu couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

Just as Chu Feng was chatting with Captain Yang Wu, Uncle Zhao Wu hurried in with a look of joy on his face. He was about to say something, but when he saw Captain Yang Wu was present, he held it back.

"What's wrong? Uncle Zhao Wu?"

Seeing that Uncle Zhao was hesitant to speak, Chu Feng asked with a smile.

Uncle Zhao glanced at Captain Yang Wu and finally spoke, "Captain, our sale of the Japanese uniforms, command swords, and weapons and equipment has been very popular. In just a few days, we've sold 23 sets, with prices ranging from 300 to 1 yuan. We've earned a total of 5 yuan in cash and 10 yuan worth of supplies."

"Many people who buy our weapons and equipment tend to choose damaged ones. The reason is simple: these damaged ones are cheap, and they buy them back to collect rewards and get promoted."

"Oh?"

When Chu Feng heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay!"

"Then we'll increase our efforts. After all, we don't need the Japanese's weapons and equipment for the time being. Apart from the artillery and light and heavy machine guns, the rest can be sold."

"Those damaged weapons and equipment are useless if they can be sold for money, which is waste utilization."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Uncle Zhao nodded immediately and said, "Yes, Captain, I understand!"

"That's right, Captain!"

Uncle Zhao Wu's voice rang out again. He looked at Chu Feng and said, "There's one thing I'm a little unsure about."

"you say!"

Chu Feng was a little surprised when he heard this. As the logistics manager, even Uncle Zhao Wu was not sure.

"Wasn't the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army ordered to come to Shanxi Province to fight the war? They are still on the way, but someone arrived first."

"We contacted them during another transaction, and they said they wanted to buy a batch of weapons and equipment from us, including about 2000 rifles, 50 light and heavy machine guns, and 30 rounds of ammunition."

At this point, Uncle Zhao Wu looked at Chu Feng with some embarrassment and said, "Captain, are we still going to do such a large order? Besides, our weapons and equipment are very popular now, so we don't have to worry about selling them."

"The Sichuan Army has just left Sichuan to fight the war. By the time they arrive in Shanxi Province, it will probably be the end of October or November. If they don't buy, we will squeeze out a lot of inventory."

Hearing Uncle Zhao Wu's concerns, Chu Feng said without hesitation: "Sell, the brothers of the Sichuan Army came thousands of miles to our Shanxi Province to fight the war. To put it more narrowly, we, the people of Shanxi Province, should thank the brothers of the Sichuan Army."

“Making money is important, but we can’t just make money.”

"Contact the brothers in the Sichuan Army and tell them that I'm keeping this batch of weapons and equipment for them. The price is 10 yuan per rifle, 100 yuan per light machine gun, 300 yuan per heavy machine gun, and 10,000 rounds of ammunition for 100 yuan."

"When paying for the transaction, you can choose to use gold, or you can choose to use supplies such as grain and salt. Of course, if the Sichuan Army brothers don't mind, you can provide us with soldiers who have undergone six months of training. For every 3,000 Sichuan Army recruits, I am willing to exchange them for 1000 rifles, 150,000 rounds of ammunition and two radios."

Sichuan Army!

That is a golden signboard built with patriotic beliefs and one bloody battle after another!

If given the chance, Chu Feng hopes that his troops will also have the bloodline and resilience of the Sichuan Army.

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Uncle Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Captain, I know what to do. I will go back and contact my Sichuan Army brothers and tell them your idea." After that, he hurried away, his eyes full of eagerness and excitement.

"Captain Chu, aren't you going to keep these Japanese-style equipment for yourself?"

Captain Yang Wu simply ignored what Chu Feng and Uncle Zhao Wu said at the beginning. He knew very well what was going on. Captain Yang Wu looked at Chu Feng expectantly and asked him his doubts.

"Yes!"

Chu Feng smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said, "You can see that our Jinbei Anti-Japanese Independent Regiment has only so many people, and our weapons and equipment are mainly Soviet and American weapons."

"We currently have no plans to use small weapons like rifles ourselves. Keeping them in the warehouse would just take up space. It would be better to sell them for cash or other supplies."

"Material's value can only be realized when it is in circulation. Otherwise, if it is kept in a warehouse, it will just be a firewood stick, a dead object."

After receiving Chu Feng's accurate answer, Captain Yang Wu's eyes were filled with excitement and excitement. He looked at Chu Feng and said, "Then I wonder what the specific price is? Can our Eighth Route Army buy it?"

The Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment were notoriously poor. They couldn't afford artillery, but they were willing to buy rifles, light and heavy machine guns if the price was right.

"sure!"

Chu Feng nodded immediately upon hearing this and said, "As for rifles, each one is 10 yuan, each light machine gun is 100 yuan, each heavy machine gun is 300 yuan, and as for bullets, 1 rounds are 100 yuan each."

"Captain Yang, you've heard it too. The price is the same as our Sichuan Army brothers. In addition to monetary transactions, we can also trade in materials."

"Of course, if you, the Eighth Route Army, can also help me train new recruits, 3,000 new recruits in exchange for 1000 rifles, 150,000 rounds of ammunition, and two radios."

"Of course, in addition to new recruits, if you are willing, you can send me experienced soldiers, military cadres, and your political cadres. I would welcome them very much."

Although Chu Feng was not planning to join the Eighth Route Army, he wanted to fight against Japan independently.

But it does not mean that he will not interact with the Eighth Route Army. On the contrary, he will maintain good relations with the Eighth Route Army. For example, the weapons and equipment captured from the Japanese devils can be traded with the Eighth Route Army in the future.

Most importantly, Chu Feng was envious of the veterans of the Red Army who had traveled 25,000 miles. Each of them was a treasure. Not only were they both civil and military, but most importantly, Chu Feng wanted to use the Eighth Route Army's hand to help him strengthen his ideological work in the troops.

"hiss!!!"

After hearing Chu Feng's words, Captain Yang Wu could no longer sit still.

It’s so cheap!!!

It’s really cheap!

The most important thing is that if you don’t have enough money, you can use other materials to make up for it. If you don’t have money or materials, you can use people.

"Captain Chu!"

After the excitement, Captain Yang Wu was still a little hesitant. He looked at Chu Feng and asked solemnly, "Others are wary of and distrust our Eighth Route Army. Are you sure you can accept people from our Eighth Route Army and our party?"
