Chapter 170 170 [Arms procurement]

Fengtian City, this is the center of the three northeastern provinces, the governors of the three northeastern provinces are here, more than half of the troops of the three northeastern provinces are stationed here, and the most prosperous economy of the three northeastern provinces is also here.

Yuan Pengfei was going to buy some more weapons and equipment. He had to get a batch of grenades, and try to get two light machine guns. If he had the chance, he would also like to get a small cannon.

The last time they attacked Du Lisan's old lair, if there was a cannon, the casualties could be reduced by half. Having a cannon can play a big role in critical times.

His old friend who sold his weapons had returned to Russia, but Fengtian City had everything for him, and he was definitely not short of arms dealers.

"Brother, Mr. Yao recommended by Mr. Liu is here."

"Please come in!"

Yao Tianxiong is a well-known business donor in Fengtian City. He has lived in foreign countries and can speak Russian, Japanese, English, and French. He can basically speak to foreigners in Fengtian City. If you can’t find a partner for any big business, you can come to him. Pull the strings and make sure it works.

This person was introduced by Liu Zhengping, and Yuan Pengfei exchanged a few words of friendship with him, and then got straight to the point: "Mr. Yao, I want to buy a cannon. I wonder if there are any arms dealers who can recommend it?"

Yao Tianxiong was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Master Yuan speaks quickly, so I will speak directly.

The one who can sell you a cannon is the Russian Owen, a lieutenant colonel, who turned into a businessman after the war, and has a lot of Russian army standard equipment in his hands.But buying from him is risky, the Japanese are staring at him!

German Edward, American George, these two are speculators who came to the Far East to try their luck, and they have dumped a batch of munitions in their warehouses. If you want to negotiate prices, it is more appropriate to find them.

Suzuki Kengo, a Japanese, has a background in the Japanese military, and he can provide standard equipment from Japan and Russia.It is easier to buy arms with this person, maybe he can give you a little cheaper. "

The Russian's arms were snatched from the Japanese. It is normal for the Japanese to stare at him.

But if you buy from the Japanese, you can get a discount today, and you will definitely spit it out ten times and a hundred times in the future. That is a loss-making business.

There was not much room for him to choose. Yuan Pengfei lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Does Mr. Yao have a good relationship with the Japanese?"

Yao Tianxiong didn't know why he asked the question, but he answered truthfully: "Yao is studying in the United States, and he can talk better with Americans, and the Japanese are just like that."

Yuan Pengfei asked again: "What is Mr. Yao's attitude towards Japan?"

"Heh" Yao Tianxiong smiled, "It seems that Master Yuan has to find out. To be honest, from the perspective of a businessman, I don't exclude anyone. As long as it can bring me profits, whoever I do business with is not a business." .

However, from the perspective of Chinese people, the Japanese I hate the most are ranked first, and the Russians are ranked second.These two wolves are not good things. How many people were brutally killed by them when we fought on the land of the Qing Dynasty.

But hate turns to hate, I can't change anything as a small person, at most I won't do business with them.But when a client like you asks me to pull the thread, I still have to think about the client. "

Yuan Pengfei nodded. Hatred is hatred, but it is meaningless to demand too much. Ordinary people still have to survive. At least they have this attitude, which shows that Yao Tianxiong is not the kind of person who has no bottom line.

"Then I'll leave it up to Mr. Yao. First invite the Germans, and then try the Americans. I'll also compare the two to see the prices." Yuan Pengfei paused for a moment, "Besides, this business After it's settled, I have another business I want to talk to Mr. Yao about."

This is a radish hanging in front of a donkey, but it is also money that can be pocketed. Yao Tianxiong has no reason to refuse, and readily agreed.

Afterwards, Yuan Pengfei also met these two arms dealers one after another. The little things in the hands of the Germans were the standard equipment of the New Beiyang Army. Except for the Mauser pistol that caught his eyes, everything else did not meet his wishes. .

The only function of the Germans is to use them to suppress the prices of the Americans, so that the prices of the Americans fall to the lowest point, which makes the Yankee grit his teeth, wishing he had to do this deal.

But he couldn't keep this batch of munitions in the warehouse indefinitely. If the goods were kept for a long time, not only would he not be able to make money from the business, but he would also have to lose money to pay for the rent of the warehouse.

Of course, this was also the reason why the Yankee didn't know Yuan Pengfei's heart. If he knew, he would have to shout the price to the sky.

Because what he was holding were two French 75mm rapid-fire guns, and Yuan Pengfei had actually used them before, so he was bound to win.

Needless to say, the performance of the French Miss Seventy-Five is the most advanced gun in the world at this time, and it is much stronger than the German guns in the same caliber.

This kind of artillery has always been the secret weapon of France. It was not until the Eight-Power Allied Forces dealt with the Boxers that the French exposed it.

In this war, the whole world was shocked by the epoch-making invention of the French, and followed up one after another.

Countries such as Britain, the United States, Russia, and Japan soon followed suit by importing 75 rapid-fire guns to France and launching imitation or authorized production imitation.

The Germans were the only losers in the rapid-fire gun revolution, because France always refused to authorize the design drawings of the 75 rapid-fire guns to the Germans because of its obsessive hatred for Germany.

Therefore, without the best munitions, the Germans had no real choice to include Yuan Pengfei in this arms sale, and it just fell through.

And Yuan Pengfei also purchased two cannons, three light machine guns, fifty boxes of grenades, and one hundred thousand rounds of various bullets from American George at an extremely cheap price.

This is also a good time to catch up. When it was pushed to the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, there were no light machine guns at all.This Danish Madsen M1902 is the world's first light machine gun.

This light machine gun has high shooting accuracy and reliable performance. Its weight of 10 kg allows it to accompany the infantry charge, just like the Czech type, it can hold the enemy suddenly.Moreover, the 30-round magazine has better durability than the Czech style.

But this kind of gun also has a disadvantage. The production cost is relatively high, and the price is also surprisingly expensive. He originally wanted to buy a few more guns, but once he settled the account, he stopped thinking about it.

In general, this batch of munitions purchased and armed to his subordinates can directly increase their combat effectiveness by several levels, and they can teach them how to behave in the face of several times the number of enemies.

But the money spent on arms purchases directly turned him from a landlord into a poor peasant. The seizures from Du Lisan, the income from Zhang Zuolin's business, and the gold sand mined last year were all thrown into it.

Although he is not unable to uncover the pot, his lack of money will definitely be implicated in the subsequent plans.

Still a word, poor.

If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful. You must also do some business that can make money quickly.
