Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Molov was a little unhappy when he heard Zeng Jiwen's words.

“Zeng~ You have to know that everything over there has been paid for, and only a portion of the equipment is available.

What we provide you is the full configuration."

Zeng Jiwen curled his lips as he listened to what Molov said.

"Mr. Molov, with what you've provided, are we going to lure the Northeastern Japanese troops southward?"

Hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, Molov felt a little embarrassed.

“Okay, Zeng, let’s go through them one by one.

Let me make it clear first, what you originally wanted is impossible!"

Zeng Jiwen immediately perked up.

He said to Molov: "Let's talk about the infantry divisions first. Fourteen fully staffed infantry divisions!"

"Impossible, I'll take a step back, six!"

"Less than thirteen!"

"No, seven at most!"

"Let's each take a step back, ten!"

"Impossible, there are only ten of us! Eight!"

"Then nine!" Zeng Jiwen said firmly.

Molov thought about it, then nodded.

"Okay, nine!"

"The tanks should be arranged according to the mechanized brigade's configuration!"

"Zeng, impossible, there's only one in the Far East!"

"But it's hard to get supplies there in the winter, North China is just right!

We can also help you verify weapons tests, and you can send officers!"

"Then one!"

"Less, at least 3!"

"No, I can only give you one! The South will be dissatisfied with this."

"Then give us two in the early stages! If the Kwantung Army really moves south, you'll need five more!"

"No no no~ Impossible~ Two at most."

"Three!"

"Row!"

"We don't want the equipment and production line for free, we'll pay in installments!"

"This is acceptable!"

"At least 1,800 people!"

"No! We don't have that many people in the south, only 500 at most!"

"Too few, 1,700 people!"

"Impossible, eight hundred at most!"

"........."

Finally, Zeng Jiwen and Molov reached a consensus after negotiating the number of support personnel to 1,200.

After discussing the support equipment and personnel, Molov spoke to Zeng Jiwen in a serious tone.

"Zeng~Now I need your commitment. We have already met most of your requests.

I think you should know our requirements."

After hearing what Molov said, Zeng Jiwen was silent for a while.

Seeing Zeng Jiwen didn't say anything, Molov suddenly became anxious.

"Zeng~ You don't think that we paid such a huge price and got it for nothing~"

After listening to this, Zeng Jiwen shook his head.

"Mr. Molov, I was just wondering how to tell you."

Then Zeng Jiwen continued.

"I have a schedule, and I wonder if Mr. Molov would like to hear it."

"Oh, Zeng~ tell me." Molov was a little surprised when he heard Zeng Jiwen's words.

Then Zeng Jiwen said to Molov.

"First, our main enemy at present is the Japanese army in North China.

I plan to recover North China within two to three years!

Then, at the end of 42 or 43, we marched towards the Northeast.”

"I believe you should be able to maintain the border for two to three years.

Moreover, if the Japanese army in North China is in crisis, the Kwantung Army might move south, which would also relieve your pressure."

Zeng Jiwen said to Molov with a sincere face.

When Molov heard Zeng Jiwen's words, he immediately felt that it made sense.

After thinking about it, he said to Zeng Jiwen.

"That's not enough, Zeng~ I need you to launch a large-scale campaign against the Japanese army at least by the end of this year."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Jiwen immediately pursed his lips.

"Mr. Molov, are you kidding?

Let’s not talk about whether all your equipment can be delivered this year. Even if it expires, there will be training for equipment personnel and tactical drills.

Tell me these!

Not even a year or two, is that possible?"

Hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, Molov suddenly felt embarrassed.

But he still said.

“Zeng~You are now able to cause such great damage to the Japanese troops in North China.

With all the equipment we've provided, I believe your combat effectiveness will be greatly improved."

However, Zeng Jiwen looked embarrassed.

"Mr. Molov, you should know that the Japanese air force, heavy artillery and other units went to the south because of the Southern Campaign.
