Beiyang reactionaries

"Dengdengdeng-"

Just when Chen Jiongming and Deng Keng were having a headache about the issue of ammunition, an officer in his 40s walked in.Seeing Chen Jiongming and Deng Keng, he immediately saluted, "Commander, Chief of Staff."

"Xiangchen is here, sit down. How is it going?"

"Commander, the domestic arms market is now priceless. The price of Japanese-style rifles has climbed to [-] silver dollars, but there is no source of supply at all."

The person who came in was Chen Jiongming's general Hong Zhaolin.He has been out these days, contacting the major arms dealers in the country to see if he can buy some weapons.

"Really do not have?"

"Commander, I came here today because a batch of munitions suddenly appeared on the market. It's just that the source of this batch of munitions is a little suspicious, so I hope the commander will make a decision."

"A batch of munitions appeared? What's going on."

Chen Jiongming regained his spirits immediately.

I have contacted so many international arms dealers, but I have no choice, so I can only look for it in China.But the same is true of the domestic arms market.Because of the sudden arms embargo, many warlords were stunned.

Everyone wants to hurry up and search for arms in the domestic arms market.

But it was discovered that there was no ammunition at all.

are anxious.

"Commander, this batch of munitions came out too strangely. It seemed that they came here specially for us, and the other party came to us directly. They told us that they had a batch of munitions in their hands, a total of 120 Hanyang made, and [-] machine guns. And [-] million rounds of ammunition. It's just that they came to us so directly, I feel too surprised."

"[-] rods made in Hanyang?"

Chen Jiongming and Deng Keng looked at each other, but couldn't hide their surprise.

At present, the domestic arms market is in a situation where there is a price but no market. Suddenly, [-] guns made by Hanyang came out.This is not a small amount of arms. Even before the arms embargo, the transaction of [-] rifles was not a small transaction.

For example, Chen Jiongming and the others bought weapons before, but they only bought a few thousand rifles.Most of the arms deals of local warlords are just these, no matter how high they are, they can't use them.Only the big men of the Beiyang Army, with hundreds of thousands of troops under their command, would buy [-] to [-] rifles at a time.

In the current domestic arms market, there are many people who want weapons.

[-] rods are made in Hanyang, and it is easy to sell.

Very strange indeed.

"Are you a liar? Are there really [-] poles made by Hanyang?"

"No, Commander, they do have this batch of munitions. Our people have experienced the goods at the Shanghai wharf, and they are indeed made in Hanyang. A mix of old and new, half new, half old. Even if it is not enough, it is old. It works, no problem. I just don't feel right why they just found us."

"What conditions do they have?"

"There are no conditions, they only want money. Five million, General, they want five million. As long as we pay five million, then this batch of weapons will be shipped to us immediately."

"Is it reliable?"

"Swire Pacific is willing to act as an intermediary and give us both guarantees."

Strange.

It is indeed strange.

Both Chen Jiongming and Deng Keng felt that something was wrong.Chen Jiongming thought for a while and asked, "Zhong Yuan, what do you think of this matter?"

"Someone wants to add fire to Guangdong, and wants us to fight earlier."

"I think so too. I think it's either Duan Qirui's side or Duan Xun's side. The Beiyang Army is really powerful, and it can easily produce [-] Hanyang-made guns. Tell me, do you want it?"

Chen Jiongming and Deng Keng judged in an instant that this batch of arms was specially for the Cantonese Army.Otherwise, how could such a large number of arms suddenly appear at this time.

"Is there enough money?"

expensive.

Not expensive.100 rods made in Hanyang, plus more than 500 million bullets, will cost 500 million.If it was before, [-] million can buy double the amount made in Hanyang.However, given the current market price, this is already a very favorable condition.

"Money is fine."

Recently, the price of opium in Guangdong has continued to rise, and there are more and more opium merchants in Fujian, and the opium tax is also constantly rising.Therefore, Chen Jiongming still has some money in his hands.Chen Jiongming is not a miser.

Know when to spend money.

[-] shots.

With these arms, it is entirely possible to form two divisions of the Cantonese Army.At present, the First Army of the Cantonese Army under Chen Jiongming, although it is said to be the first army, actually does not have [-] rifles in total.

What are you afraid of spending money on?

As long as Guangdong can be won, with the wealth of Guangdong, this money can be easily earned back.

"Then buy it. It doesn't matter which side he wants to stir up trouble, with this batch of weapons, our strength can be doubled. Brother Jing Cun, don't miss this opportunity."

"Correct."

209 Contradictions between Guangdong and Guangxi 2

"Overseer, it's not good."

Guangzhou.

Shen Hongying rushed to the Governor's Mansion in Guangdong.

There are many direct descendants in Lu Rongting's army, or for people like Lu Rongting who are from bandits, the main generals of the following troops are his old brothers for many years.Like Tan Haoming, the governor of Guangxi, and Mo Rongxin, the governor of Guangdong, are Lu Rongting's good brothers for many years, and they are both Lu Rongting's direct descendants.Including Ma Ji in Guangdong, who is Lu Rongting's adopted son.

Although Shen Hongying has a high status, she is not Lu Rongting's direct descendant.Because Shen Hongying's background has nothing to do with Lu Rongting, it is completely a semi-independent force.It's just that Lu Rongting ruled Guangxi later, so he took refuge in Lu Rongting.He was able to advance step by step in Lu Rongting's camp, relying on his excellent flattering skills and excellent comprehension ability.Shen Hongying's ability to read the situation is very strong, he can guess Lu Rongting's thoughts every time, and can make accurate decisions every time.

So although he is not Lu Rongting's direct descendant, his status has always been very high.

Lu Rongting also likes such a sensible subordinate.

"Guannan (Shen Hongying), what happened?"

Mo Rongxin is 17 years older than Shen Hongying, and they are almost 66 years old.Ever since Mo Rongxin became the governor of Guangdong, Shen Hongying has always been very flattering and obedient to Mo Rongxin.

Shen Hongying is like this.

Because he rose slowly from a small power, he knows how to flatter people very well.When he was in Guangxi, he flattered Lu Rongting.The troops were transferred to Guangdong, and they also flattered Mo Rongxin.

In comparison, Lu Rongting's other boss in Guangdong, Ma Ji, is arrogant and domineering in Guangdong just because of Lu Rongting's love for him.In addition to seeing that Mo Rongxin is very old and Lu Rongting's direct lineage for many years, give Mo Rongxin some face.Completely disdainful of other troops.He didn't even listen to Mo Rongxin's orders.

So Mo Rongxin didn't like him very much.But he is Lu Rongting's godson, and Mo Rongxin has nothing to do with him.

So Mo Rongxin likes Shen Hongying the most among these generals in Guangdong, and has always supported Shen Hongying.
