Chapter 707, Business
“Who accuses me of a crime?”
"Don''t worry about who it is. Anyway, someone will sue you. They will all be brought before the committee."
“What are you suing me for?”
"Condescending. Lawless. Self-righteous. Self-righteous."
“Oh, not bad.”
“What does it mean to be okay?”
"I thought I was being accused of being greedy and lustful. That''s an accurate accusation."
“You are very self-aware!”
“Excellent award. Excellent award. That’s all I pursue.”
“Don’t be poor. Someone really wants to tell you.”
“What happened next?”
"My wife happened to be here too. I said, in that case, let''s transfer Zhang Yong to our empty team. We are all young people here, and we don''t have so many rules."
"Then what?"
Zhang Yong was very curious.
Mrs. is still very good at talking.
That''s right. The Air Force really doesn''t have that many rules.
Maybe it’s because there are many people who have returned from studying abroad. So does Madam herself. The pilots are also very young.
There are also many foreigners in the Air Force.
Including Soviet flight instructors and technical personnel from various aircraft companies.
You see, Chennault is about to go to Jianqiao Air Force Base to start training pilots. By then, another large group of Americans will definitely arrive.
Some old rules and so on are not applicable here. Foreigners don''t pay much attention to this.
Qualifications and other qualifications are not very important.
"I have no idea."
"you do not know?"
"No one else has said what happened next. Anyway, let me give you a heads up."
“Need a little banging?”
"Need not."
"fine."
“Otherwise, you should come to our Air Force and concentrate on your work.”
“Okay. Go and tell Boss Dai.”
“You can jump over here if you have the chance. During this time, Boss Dai, you have also been attacked by the crowd. You haven’t come out yet.”
“What happened to Boss Dai?”
"The commission asked him to concentrate on reading. Read Zeng Guofan''s "The Complete Works of Zeng Wenzhenggong". It is required to read it well. Recite it. Deeply understand it."
“Isn’t this annoying?”
“Hey, how can you talk? Don’t worry about your head?”
"I was wrong."
Zhang Yong’s resentful reply.
I secretly disapproved of it. It''s Zeng Guofan again.
??Commissioner likes to read Zeng Guofan all year round. There seems to be a lot of research. Highly recommended.
Unfortunately, the committee member seems to like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Oops…
Suddenly I remembered a very terrible thing.
In case the virgin is punished by the appointment, he is required to read Zeng Guofan. What should I do if Virgo wants to follow his example and ask me to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
Feeling not good…
Fortunately. He had already prepared his escape route.
If something goes wrong, run away immediately.
Carry the money in your carry-on space with you and run as far as you want. Fly far away. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away.
In any case, I am a small person. Limited effect. Presumably the big guys above won''t hold on to it. Then you can spend the rest of your life quietly.
Subconsciously check the money in your pocket. It seems quite a lot.
If you have no other pursuits and live a small life alone, it should be enough.
There is also a gun in the portable space. There are also some equipment provided by the system from time to time. Or a handful of ammo. Enough.
Being confident.
You don’t care about other people’s opinions anymore.
?It doesn’t matter who files the complaint.
?It doesn’t matter what the committee’s attitude is.
I don’t expect them to eat anyway. Be self-reliant.
have a bee in one''s bonnet.
?Of course, it’s not yet time to run away.
?Judging from the current situation, it seems that the lady is still protecting him. The Air Force Department may indeed need a "wizard" like him.
Can catch Japanese spies.
Can make money.
Almighty.
Isn’t this the talent that the Air Resources Department needs most? hey-hey.
Looking up at Yang Lichu.
?Yang Lichu frowned, "What do you want me to do? If you have anything to say, just say it."
“We have time, you teach me to study well. Let’s study at night...”
“You have a beautiful thought! Who will add fragrance to your red sleeves?”
“No. I’m serious.”
“You can go.”
"What?"
“I’ve finished what I have to say. You can go.”
"oh…"
Zhang Yong pulled her over.
?Want to run? No way. How much interest is charged. Even if we haven''t passed each other, you are still mine.
?Yang Lichu:…
?This bastard. Come again.
Can’t struggle. I had to let him have fun.
?However, Zhang Yong could not do anything in broad daylight in public.
In the end, Yang Lichu raised the corners of her mouth proudly, as if to say, besides making me drool, what else can you do?
Zhang Yong:…
This woman. It''s true. Little goblin.
Sure enough, women who wear glasses, especially beautiful women, are really. hey-hey. Indescribable.
“Zhang Ping is here.”
?Yang Lichu suddenly broke away from him.
Zhang Yong looked sideways. It was discovered that Zhang Ping was indeed here.
?However, he was thick-skinned enough and didn’t think it was a big deal. Zhang Ping had known about him and Yang Lichu for a long time.
Zhang Ping''s attitude can be summed up in three words: he has no eyes to see.
One is unmarried and the other is unmarried, no one can care about them. He didn''t bother to care.
The Air Force is full of vitality. There are many pilots. Most pilots have very good family backgrounds.
It can be said that there are absolutely no illiterate pilots. Almost all of them have experience as international students. How can someone who can study abroad come from a poor family?
?Or a high-ranking official.
Or landowners and gentry.
At the worst, the family is still relatively well-off.
Young, with a good family background, and of course a very comfortable personal life. Naturally, countless girls jumped on him.
??Yang Junjian’s accident actually caused many people behind the scenes to express incomprehension. It seems like he is in need of women. You definitely don’t need to figure it out yourself. Maybe it''s because serious girls don''t have enough tricks and are not as charming as Tian Yuman. As a result, I got tricked.
??Yang Lichu was thin-skinned after all and left first.
Zhang Yong waited for Zhang Ping to come over as if nothing had happened. Without blinking an eye.
“Shaolong.”
“Zhang Chu.”
“Are you free?”
"have."
“Then let’s go talk to MacFarlane.”
“Who is MacFarlane?”
“That’s the salesman from Springfield Armory.”
"good."
Zhang Yong remembered.
??It turned out to be the American guy who promoted the Garand semi-automatic rifle.
By the way, he actually came to Hangzhou? Weren''t you in Shanghai before? So active? It seems that his sales performance is not good.
somewhere?
“MGM Cabaret.”
"good."
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
MGM Cabaret? Is that where Jin Bufan is? Interesting.
“For a private visit, just bring a few people with you.”
“That won’t work.”
Zhang Yong shook his head. Be careful when sailing the ship that lasts forever.
Jin Bufan is a Japanese spy. If the other party knew that he was only taking a few people with him, he would definitely use his brain.
These are definitely extraordinary times.
?Zhang Yong became more and more convinced that the sniper he killed was not the same one as before.
??The Japanese invaders most likely had multiple snipers. Their target is Zhang Yong. If Zhang Yong was a little careless, he might lose his life.
It’s not a joke.
The wound on his back is still hurting.
??Yang Lichu, this little goblin, used to be extremely concerned about her, but later found out that it wasn''t serious, so she really didn''t care.
At any time, you can bring as many people as you can. Safety first.
Without saying anything, the three teams started walking directly.
Two teams are waiting outside. A small team followed him in.
Zhang Ping:…
?This guy. As expected, he was super afraid of death.
We are going to discuss business. Not to go to war. You are fully armed and ready to go to war.
?What, even the grenade launcher. This is too much!
?Who goes out with a grenade launcher?
There is no one who is so cautious.
Others will laugh when they see it...
However, the three intelligence services operate independently. He can''t control it either. It seems right to bring more people.
Set off.? ? ? Came to the MGM Cabaret.
?Compared with the MGM Dance Hall in Shanghai, the one in Hangzhou is much smaller.
Although it was evening, there were not many guests.
The cold wind and rain will seriously affect the travel of guests. It’s such a climate that you can’t drive a dog out! Freeze to death.
I found a red dot in the distance. Then I found a yellow dot.
Zhang Yong''s energy suddenly rose. Yellow dot? Underground party?
??There is actually an underground party around Jin Bufan?
Wow! Awesome.
It is said that for highly poisonous things, there must be an antidote within ten feet.
The underground party is the antidote. Actually lurking next to the Japanese spy. Even Li Shiqun is around.
In a moment, we want to see what kind of person can lurk under the noses of Japanese spies. Definitely a master among masters. Zhang Yong definitely admires him. Maybe they are really as powerful as the protagonists in spy dramas?
Enter the MGM Cabaret.
The first thing I saw was Jin Bufan. This guy is very enthusiastic.
“Director Zhang, Team Leader Zhang, welcome, welcome.” Jin Bufan smiled with a smile on his face. Just right to lead them to the private seats inside.
"Thank you. We would like to talk to Mr. MacFarlane." Zhang Ping got straight to the point.
“I’ll go and notify him right away. Wait a moment.”
"Thanks."
“Please sit down.”
?Jin Bufan settled them down and then went to find MacFarlane.
Zhang Yong sat down first. Look around. Find the character represented by the yellow dot. Found out to be a bartender. Concentrating on making cocktails.
A young man with skillful skills. He plays with each delicate and fragile glass to perfection. A master indeed.
??Without the yellow dot reminder, Zhang Yong would never have imagined that he was actually an underground party member.
?It’s so unexpected. sharp.
Withdraw your gaze.
The waiter quickly brought lemonade.
Zhang Yong picked it up and tasted it. It was discovered that Zhang Ping was not used to drinking.
hehe. It seems that Zhang Ping is indeed not young anymore. Lemonade is still a rarity now.
Soon, MacFarlane arrived.
greeting.
sit down.
?McFarland seemed to have a cold and kept sniffling.
?It seems that this American is very unaccustomed to the weather in Hangzhou. It was cold and rainy. No heating yet. It''s so hot in the summer. It freezes to death in winter.
“Mr. MacFarlane, we are very interested in your Garand semi-automatic…”
“That would be great. What are your intentions.”
“One thousand. Each one comes with 1,000 rounds of bullets. What price do you think you can give?”
“Too little. Too little. Too little.”
?McFarland shook his head.
Zhang Yong did not participate in the discussion. Think about your own things.
He didn’t know why the Air Force wanted to buy the Garand semi-automatic rifle. The price of this gun feels quite expensive.
The price of a brand new Springfield M1903 rifle is only a dozen dollars. In-stock items are also available at a discount. But a Garand semi-automatic costs about $100. You can buy half a class of Springfield M1903. Even though the beautiful country has a lot of money, the speed of changing clothes is quite slow.
If I remember correctly, the US military should have gradually switched to the Garand semi-automatic by now. But the speed of changing clothes is very slow. Whether there will be 10,000 replacements is unknown. After all, the entire U.S. Army totaled only 300,000 soldiers. Pure infantry may be less than 100,000.
??The beautiful country also has an armed force called the Marine Corps. Nicknamed Fourth Class. It seems like they were the last to switch to Garland. By the time of the Battle of Guadalcanal in 1942, the uniform had not been changed. Still using the Springfield M1903 with the extended bolt. It can be seen that the change speed is very slow.
If the beautiful country is like this, China is even more unrealistic.
Can’t afford it. Can''t afford it either.
Garand''s power is based on a strong logistical foundation.
Requires an almost unlimited supply of ammunition. Otherwise, the bullets will run out quickly. When it comes to bayonets, it''s not as good as the Springfield M1903!
Unrealistic.
However, if the Garand semi-automatic is used to arm the Fourth Air Police Regiment. Undoubtedly an excellent idea. There are few people in the Fourth Air Police Regiment. Equipped with a bolt-action rifle, there simply isn''t enough firepower. Even facing a squadron of Japanese invaders, it may take half a day to fight, and it may not be possible to win.
??However, if all of them are equipped with Garand semi-automatics, the battle can still be quickly ended when encountering a squadron of Japanese invaders. Equipped with a small number of mortars, it is possible to defeat a squadron of Japanese invaders. This is the largest battle envisioned by Zhang Yong.
What?
To deal with a large group of Japanese invaders?
joke.
The Japanese invaders had a large group of thousands of people. Has infantry artillery. Beat an egg.
The Fourth Air Police Regiment is not the main force.
They are just special forces that perform special tasks. Including going on missions behind enemy lines and so on.
The purpose of its original establishment was to extend the mission of the Air Force. It is to ensure the air force''s operations. Notice. It''s a guarantee. It''s an auxiliary force.
The most routine task is to rescue downed pilots.
Including but not limited to infiltration, raids, etc.
Each action can involve up to one or two hundred people. Not even a hundred people.
The general requirements are similar to those of later generations of special forces. But it''s definitely not as professional as a special forces unit.
Let’s talk about the next thing later. But, for now, it’s definitely a good idea to get some Garand semi-automatic. Not too many. About a thousand is enough. The strength of the Fourth Air Police Regiment is at most about 1,500. If you do more, others will become jealous.
Besides, bullets are not in supply.
I don’t know how much ammunition the system can randomly produce. It may not even be able to sustain 1,000 Garands.
have a bee in one''s bonnet.
“Young dragon!”
Zhang Ping''s voice came.
Zhang Yong took back his thoughts.
“Shaolong, come and talk.”
"say what?"
"casual."
Zhang Ping and Zhang Yong communicated in Chinese.
Zhang Yong''s English is not very good. However, I can barely communicate.
?Perhaps the system has secretly strengthened part of it? strangeness. Why doesn’t the system strengthen my Japanese?
“Mr. MacFarlane, I want to buy shares in your company.”
“Very welcome.”
“Mr. MacFarlane, how much is your current weekly salary?”
“This is my personal privacy.”
“So, Mr. MacFarlane, do you have any plans to resign in the short term?”
"No."
"That''s good. Mr. MacFarlane, I have calculated that in four years, your income will be greatly improved."
“Four years later? Why do you say that?”
MacFarlane became interested.
?Who doesn’t want to increase their income? Who doesn’t want a promotion and a salary increase?
Foreigners also think about it.
“Because I infer that the production of Garand semi-automatic rifles will exceed 10 million.”
"What did you say?"
?McFarlane’s expression didn’t change much.
He thought Zhang Yong had said the wrong number. After all, Zhang Yong’s English is not very good.
“Ten million.”
Zhang Yong repeated the emphasis. Take out paper and pen at the same time.
He wrote the number 10,000,000 on a piece of paper. Written specifically according to the habits of foreigners.
“Ten million?”
?McFarlane finally believed that Zhang Yong was right.
Soon, he shook his head and laughed.
10 million is simply a fantasy. What kind of weapon can sell 10 million units?
More than 1 million is already a miracle. There are only a handful of them in history.
“That’s right.”
Zhang Yong nodded.
He knew that the other party would not believe it.
He didn’t even think about convincing the other party. This business is not led by him.
In fact, in this kind of business, verbal negotiations are ineffective. Ultimately it comes down to adding money. Even fifty cents can make a difference in whether a business is closed or not.
MacFarlane was silent.
Zhang Ping next to him hesitated to speak.
He also felt that Zhang Yong was talking a bit freely.
10 million. What is that concept? Who needs that many rifles?
How much more semi-automatic?
“Actually, Mr. MacFarlane, have you ever thought about designing an intermediate-power bomb?” Zhang Yong changed the topic.
Now that we’ve talked about it. It seems like it would be a bad idea not to talk about the M1 Carbine.
??Garand semi-automatic is indeed a sharp weapon among rifles. However, ordinary people may prefer to use the M1 Carbine.
?The Garand is powerful, has a long range, has strong recoil, and is bulky. Suitable for use by American "GIs". That is, it is suitable for people who are tall and strong.
??If you are an Asian with a thin body, a carbine is more suitable. It is lightweight and has low recoil.
“What mid-power bullet?”
“That’s more powerful than pistol bullets. Less powerful than rifle bullets.”
“Team Leader Zhang, you may not know that designing a type of ammunition is much more difficult than designing a type of firearm.”
"I really don''t know. But I also know that if an ammunition design is successful, it can be used for decades. You don''t have to do anything from now on. Just lie down and collect the dividends."
“You are right, but...”
?McFarland hesitated to speak.
Zhang Yong is not in a hurry to convince the other party. He just talks casually.
??With the world war in full swing, it soon became clear that rifles were overpowered and needed to be changed. As a result, the intermediate power bomb came into being.
?Of course, this is all a matter for professionals. He Zhang Yong is not. Therefore, he is only responsible for making suggestions.
He is a small person and can only do so much.
Turn your head. Looked at Jin Bufan.
?Jin Bufan didn’t know if he heard what they were saying.
?However, it is estimated that Jin Bufan would not be interested even if he heard it. The army''s small arms and other things actually have no impact on the war.
The Second World War was a stage for aircraft, warships, tanks, and heavy artillery.
Infantry, completely a auxiliary role.
Basically, they cooperate in combat. Cleaning up the battlefield after the war.
Of course, except for the Asian battlefield.
In the Asian battlefield, infantry plays a slightly larger role. Because both sides of the war are fighting each other, they are basically infantry tactics.
?However, these national strategies have nothing to do with Zhang Yong.
He can''t even handle the Fourth Air Police Regiment, let alone others?
Suddenly…
At the edge of the map, there is another yellow dot cutting into it.
Observe quietly. I found that the other party was actually coming towards the MGM Dance Hall.
curious.
Are you here to join us?
Ten minutes later, the yellow dot entered Zhang Yong''s field of vision.
