The Flames of Resistance Against Japan in Jiangnan

Xu Wenqing held the other person's hand, feeling incredibly warm at the support of his comrade.

"Reporting to the division commander and the director, the 58th Regiment has sent people to bring the foreigners over!"

A trembling voice came from outside the door:

"My God, it's a blond monster!"

Xu Wenqing immediately guessed that the guard was frightened by the foreigner's strange appearance, and burst into laughter. He turned to Director Li and said:

"When the foreigners come in later, don't be intimidated and embarrass our Red Army!"

"When we were in the Central Soviet Area, we often saw foreign advisors, didn't we? Aren't they just foreigners? Actually, once you get used to them, they're all the same!"

Director Li of the Political Department curled his lip in disapproval and retorted.

Seeing that he hadn't managed to intimidate Director Li, Xu Wenqing felt deflated. After pondering for a moment, he started the conversation again:

"Intuitively, I feel that this foreigner is very useful to us, and may even solve many of our problems!"

Just as Director Li of the Political Department was about to ask the reason, someone suddenly rushed in from outside the door, which startled Director Li for a moment.

First to burst in was a blonde girl with an innocent face, but a voluptuous figure and large blue eyes. She glared angrily at the two people in the room. Next came a middle-aged man, burly and with shrewd and worldly eyes. Upon seeing Xu Wenqing, he clasped his hands tightly and bowed deeply.

"General, it's a pleasure to meet you. Andrew greets you!"

Xu Wenqing was somewhat amused and exasperated by the foreigner's awkward, neither-Chinese-nor-Western etiquette. He could only reach out and take the other's deep bow, smiling as he said:

"I didn't expect you to speak Chinese?"

The foreigner immediately became smug:

"I have lived in this beautiful and mysterious country for six years, and my Chinese is excellent!"

"What kind of beautiful business are you doing in this mysterious country?"

Xu Wenqing looked at the foreigner who was showing off with a mocking expression and asked:

"Don't tell me you're in the business of selling guns and drugs, will you?"

The foreigner, struck in a vital spot, immediately fell silent. His eyes darted around, clearly fabricating a lie, and he said:

"Traveling, I'm traveling all over China, and it's beautiful everywhere!"

"I'm afraid he's not traveling around, but rather selling guns, ammunition, and artillery, isn't he?"

Xu Wenqing grabbed the pistol from the table and strode over to Andrew, asking a question. Suddenly, a fragrant breeze wafted into his nostrils, and then the foreign woman squeezed between the two, repeatedly calling out:

"Don't hurt my father!"

Xu Wenqing suddenly noticed that the voluptuous waves pressing against him were quite elastic, so he quickly took a step back. Looking up, he saw that the other person had delicate skin that most Caucasians didn't have. He smiled and said:

"I won't hurt him for now, I'm just reminding your father not to lie!"

"I am an American and I deserve protection!"

When Andrew, the foreign devil, realized he couldn't fool him, he tried another trick:

"You barbarian! If you harm me, my country will send troops to retaliate. You will start a war!"

Xu Wenqing said with a sneer:

"You want to start a war for me? Who do you think you are? President Roosevelt? Or Queen Elizabeth's husband?"

Perhaps not expecting the other party to know about Roosevelt, and finding them difficult to fool, the foreigner lost heart.

"I don't have time to beat around the bush with you, just say it!"

Xu Wenqing brandished his pistol in front of the foreigner Andrew, waving the muzzle in his face.

"You're an arms dealer, that's for sure. Think it through before you tell me, what weapons are you planning to sell in Jinhua?"

"I really came here for tourism!"

Andrew continued to stubbornly argue.

"Peng!"

Xu Wenqing slammed his fist on the table with a loud thud and shouted directly to the door:

"Waiter, come in and take some men to drag this foreign devil out and shoot him!"

"Don't hurt my father! I'm telling you, we're selling a batch of rapid-fire Mauser military pistols!"

The naive foreign girl was terrified, thinking that the Red Army was really going to hurt her father.

Xu Wenqing waved his hand to dismiss the soldiers who had rushed in, then said to the pale-faced foreign woman:

"Beautiful lady, don't be afraid. I'm just trying to lighten the mood. I won't really shoot him."

"Thank you!"

The foreign girl seemed quite frightened; after thanking him, she hurriedly returned to her father's side.

"How many Mauser pistols did they bring this time? What models are they? Maybe I can buy them."

Xu Wenqing became interested. The rapid-fire Mauser rifle, known in China as a "fire-and-slow-fire machine," had a fully automatic function. If a batch of these were equipped for a special operations squad, each soldier carrying two fire-and-slow-fire machines and a large sword, they would be invincible in close combat!

Upon hearing that Xu Wenqing wanted to buy guns, the foreigner Andrew felt relieved. Seeing that the other party wasn't going to harm him but was instead discussing business, he looked at the furnishings in the room with a businessman's eye, shook his head, and said:

"It's not that I look down on you, but your Chinese army is very poor. This time, I had two thousand Mauser pistols that I was going to sell to Chairman Gu Zhutong, but unfortunately he only wanted one thousand. I had one thousand left, so I had no choice but to come to Jinhua to see if there were any other customers!"

"Waiter, take Mr. Andrew to Director Chen and let him see if we have the means to buy his gun!"

After seeing the real gold and silver at the Logistics Department Director Chen's place, American businessman Mr. Andrew met with Xu Wenqing, commander of the 19th Division, at the 19th Division's forward command post at 9 p.m. local time. The two sides had in-depth talks in a frank and friendly atmosphere.

Xu Wenqing first conveyed the warm greetings from the officers and soldiers of the 19th Division to Mr. Andrew. Andrew expressed his gratitude and asked Commander Xu Wenqing to convey his best wishes to the officers and soldiers of the 19th Division.

Mr. Andrew welcomed Xu Wenqing's visit to his family, who had recently immigrated to the United States from Germany. He expressed his great honor in meeting a Red Army commander from a mysterious country and believed that the visit would greatly promote the development of relations between the two sides. He said that the 19th Division had achieved remarkable success and would play an increasingly important role in the affairs of the Anhui-Zhejiang-Jiangxi region. Mr. Andrew valued the relationship with the 19th Division and was willing to strengthen cooperation with the Division in various fields.

Commander Xu Wenqing stated that Mr. Andrew is a new friend of the 19th Red Army Division. Maintaining and developing the friendly relations between the two sides is not only in the fundamental interests of both sides, but also conducive to regional and even global peace and development. The 19th Red Army Division values ​​its relationship with Mr. Andrew and is willing to work together with him to implement the consensus reached by both sides and continuously enrich the content of their friendly partnership.

Both sides also exchanged views and reached an agreement on major issues such as the price of Mauser pistols, the purchase of electronic equipment, high-magnification telescopes, and the price, delivery location, and method of sniper rifle scopes.
