Chapter 754: All the pie in the sky is poisonous!
"How much munitions do we need?" Tang Dao swallowed and asked with some difficulty.
"It's not much. The arms for the two reorganized divisions were purchased from the German Habro Arms Company when the young marshal was in charge of the overall situation." Commander Wu said with a smile.
Then he shouted out the door: "Adjutant Zhao, bring the arms list to Commander Tang and others for review."
The colonel's adjutant whom Tang Dao had met walked in from the door, smiled politely at Tang Dao, took out a document wrapped tightly in brown paper from his bag and handed it to Zhuang Shisan.
Chief of Staff Zhuang opened the brown paper with trembling hands in excitement, and a two-page weapons list appeared in front of the three school officers.

“This, so much,” Master Zhuang, who was relatively new to the world in Songjiang, couldn't even speak clearly after holding the list in hand.
The dazzling list of weapons and equipment, not to mention the heart of Lei Xiong, the former commander of the Royal Forest Army's cannon company, almost exploded. Even the well-informed Tang Dao was stunned by this big pie. .
If there weren't so many people in the room, Tang Dao really wanted to hug Comrade Wu and take a bite out of his already wrinkled old face.
What are the arms of the two reorganized divisions here and there? Using this batch of arms as the core firepower and intensifying the development of the arms factory, in less than two years, Tang Dao will be able to build an army strong enough to compete with the three divisions of the Japanese army.
At that moment, the captains and deputy captains of the Four Lines Troupe fell into great happiness because of the big pie falling from the sky. Especially the deputy captain Lei, the breath coming out of his nostrils was scorching hot. In his later words, at that moment , he was more excited than when he got up on the kang on his wedding night.
Perhaps only Chief of Staff Zhuang Da is still a little calm. It's not that he is unhappy, but that he is naturally sensitive to data planning and suddenly discovered something extremely fatal.
"Sir, the total price on the weapon list and the total price on the receipt don't match up! The total price on the list is close to 2.5 million US dollars, but the receipt is only 1.5 million US dollars. Could it be that this is a discount from Habro Company? "?" Zhuang Shisan licked his lips and asked with some uncertainty.
“What are you thinking about?” Commander Wu glanced at the uneasy Chief of Staff of the Fourth Army Regiment. "The goods haven't arrived yet. For those of you who have paid all the money, the $1.5 million is just an advance payment. You will pay it off when the goods arrive. Also, what you said is close to $2.5 million is incorrect. The shipping fee is calculated separately. "
Tang Dao and his two subordinates looked at each other, with a bad premonition rising in their minds.
It seems that this pie is poisonous.
"What do you mean, the Northeast Army has a dedicated person responsible for settlement? We will be responsible for collection?" Tang Dao asked with a shy face.
“What do you think?” Comrade Lao Wu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and glanced at Tang Dao with a half-smile. "I think that with the strong financial resources accumulated by the Northeast Army over the years, this is possible. Our regiment can definitely be used as a transport team. After transporting this batch of weapons and equipment back, we will share half of it with the brothers of the Northeast Army." Tang Dao bit the back groove. My teeth hurt.
The equipment here, let alone being divided into half, even dividing some bullets and artillery shells, is like cutting his flesh.
"I'm bah, you kid, don't you believe it? I have hundreds of thousands of brothers in the Northeast Army, but they are so good that they still need people to carry weapons? Why, you are the only one in the group who are all big and round, how can one person withstand several hundred kilograms?" Old Wu The comrade was completely offended by Minato's shameless Tang Dao.
“I'll tell you the truth, the remaining payment is 1 million U.S. dollars. You have to figure out who accepts and pays.”
My head is buzzing!
This statement, for the two army lieutenant colonels at this moment, was like falling from heaven to the floor.
One million U.S. dollars is equivalent to several million silver dollars. If we chop and sell all the current 2,000 members of the Four-Hong Group, we will have to sell the meat at a sky-high price of more than one dollar per kilogram.
Obviously, they are still too young in the face of the cruel world. Is there such a thing as pie-in-the-sky good things in this world?
However, there is a saying that goes well: I thought my life had reached a low point, falling from the ceiling to dust, but little did I know that there was **** under the floor, and there were eighteen levels of hell.
Tang Dao, who had at least seen the cruelty of the capital market, looked at Comrade Wu with a smile on his face, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger. He said with difficulty: "Besides paying the balance, are there any other restrictions?"
“That's not the case, just see the receipt and pay the balance before receiving the goods!” Comrade Lao Wu said with a smile. "It's just that the delivery location is the Habro Company's warehouse in the Italian Concession in Jincheng."
Like being struck by lightning! Tang Dao and his two subordinates were stunned.
Peat! At this moment, Tang Dao just wanted to give this word to Wu Old Fox.
That place is now an enemy-occupied area. Let's not talk about whether we can get the balance together. Even if we can, two reorganized divisions and weapons, do you think the Japanese are blind or stupid? Do you want two trains for you and a farewell procession?
This good thing is worse than not talking about it, okay?
"Why, you don't want it anymore, and you're so good at scolding me in your heart that you even gave me a gift and you turned it into a grudge. Come on, just give it back to me. Just pretend I didn't say anything and give it back to me." Commander Wu Dajun saw Tang Tang. Dao looked speechless and simply stretched out his hand.
"How can that be possible? How can that be impossible! It is unreasonable to give out a gift and take it back. This is unreasonable!" Tang Dao quickly put the receipt into his pocket and returned the weapon list. Zhuang Shisan clapped his hands. "Lao Zhuang, go and notify the cooking team in person that a distinguished guest is coming. Make the dried chicken for lunch as an extra meal!"
This gift is like a pufferfish. The meat is delicious but highly poisonous. But as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Doesn't the end result of good cabbage always end up being eaten by pigs?
It is not Tang Dao's character to shrink back when faced with difficulties.
"You stingy bastard! My dear, if there were no gifts, you would have sent me potatoes with potatoes, wouldn't you?" Hearing what Tang Dao said, Commander Wu could only say something speechless. The Tang Dao of Hell.
Turning to look at his adjutant, he said, "Adjutant Zhao, please remember to take the wild boar legs that Commander Tang has prepared for us when you leave later."
It seems that the old man and the young man were stuttering, as if they had no idea that what they just talked about was a big deal worth millions of silver. Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh.
While the colonel's adjutant nodded with a smile, he was greatly envious of Tang Dao. He had followed the commander of the army for ten years and was already a close confidant. However, in terms of intimacy, he was still not as close as Commander Wu to Tang Dao. The knife is like the attitude of a nephew.
Of course, the colonel's adjutant knew very well that he really couldn't envy this.
Tang Dao was able to receive such treatment because the two had similar personalities. More importantly, Tang Dao had the strength to be recognized by the commander of the army.
When the entire 67th Army faced the 100,000-strong force of the Japanese Tenth Army, more than 30,000 people from the commander on down were already prepared not to return. Unexpectedly, Tang Dao came out of nowhere. Because of his suggestions and desperate fighting, the 67th Army still has half of its troops. Although it suffered heavy losses, it is many times better than the previously expected total army.
Although Commander Wu never mentioned the great kindness of saving the lives of more than 10,000 troops under his command, the colonel adjutant who was familiar with him knew that if it weren't for this, how could he spare no effort to help Tang Dao.
As for that seemingly impossible receipt, it is also worth tens of millions of gold. If it is handed over to the Military and Administrative Department without giving Tang Dao, a second-level general will not be able to escape.
Perhaps, no other person will be treated like this.
However, the colonel's adjutant, who did not even dare to envy Tang Dao, never expected that Commander Wu's tolerance for Tang Dao had almost no bottom line, and that Tang would be so aggressive.
With sesame seeds, even the sesame seeds are not left out.
