Chapter 272: Their Own Accounts
When Minister Jia's secretary came in, Dong Yueyan had already left. Minister Jia was standing behind his desk. The secretary hurried over to pick up the chair and stood by, not knowing what to do. This was the first time he had seen such a situation.
Minister Jia may not be able to decide the positions of many military personnel, after all, there are too many bigwigs involved.
But for some people in the government, this is much simpler. As long as Minister Jia has his eyes on a certain position, he can just exchange interests with a few people and it will basically be done.
This time, it can be said that the firewood was cut off from the bottom of the pot. Li Shaoyi also found Minister Jia's weakness and talked directly to Dong Yueyan.
Minister Jia couldn't refuse...
Dong Yueyan just said that after the commissioner of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs arrives in Peiping, he will first go to inspect the arms. After the arms are inspected and accepted, he will pay Li Shaoyi and issue a letter of appointment.
In just one night, things had developed to this point, but Minister Jia was still thinking about who to send over, thinking that it was just a rumor or something.
I didn't expect that Li Shaoyi, a military man, could play such a sophisticated trick. The rumors he spread were just to deceive him. The real thing was that he was negotiating with Dong Yueyan, and now even the military commissioner had gone there.
Even if I wanted to stop it, I probably don't have the ability to do so.
Adjusting the division to purchase equipment is to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Central Army.
It's not just a matter of one or two people. Many people within the entire Nationalist government support this matter. This is also the simplest way for the Nationalist government to improve its status in the country.
Not to mention one Minister Jia, even if there were three Ministers Jia, they would not be able to stop this matter, not to mention the external threat from Japan. The formation of the adjustment division is also to ease the tension for everyone.
Of course, the most important thing is that it is only half the price, which means there is a room for maneuver of tens of millions of dollars. With so many people watching, who wouldn't want to get a good deal? If Minister Jia still wants to stop it, these people will tear him to pieces.
"Take this piece of paper and go find..."
Minister Jia picked up the paper on the table and asked his secretary to go to the Executive Yuan to find his people and then recommend Li Shaoyi.
Minister Jia experienced today what it means to slap oneself in the face. It hurts so much, but he can't resist at all. That's the feeling.
The second round failed again.
Minister Jia was unaware of the first round, so he was unwilling to accept the defeat. He thought that his son was incompetent and too young, so he lost to Li Shaoyi.
The second round was carefully planned by himself, but he didn't expect it to be crushed by Li Shaoyi again, and the way it was crushed was something Minister Jia had never anticipated.
The secretary ran out quickly and closed the door. When the door was closed, there was a crackling sound in the room. It was obvious that Minister Jia also needed to vent. Those precious decorations were in trouble today.
This is the first time that a rift has appeared between Minister Jia's siblings. However, when some people learned about the inside story, they thought that if they were in that position, they would probably have to let their brother suffer a little bit, as the profit was really too great.
Chengde
"Brigade Commander, aren't we losing out? We only collected half of the money. This is half of the money."
Wang Zihan repeated it twice in succession, feeling like cutting flesh from his own body. It was clearly a deal worth more than six million oceans, but he turned it into more than three million oceans, the equipment of three infantry divisions, so the loss was even greater.
"Some deals are based on economic benefits, but some deals may not be so serious. There will be a battle between us and the Japanese sooner or later. We can't rely on ourselves for everything. There are so many troops in the south. The weapons and equipment we sell to them at half price will most likely be used against the Japanese. As long as we can defeat the Japanese, this little money is nothing."
Some people only consider the immediate future, but Li Shaoyi doesn't do that. He considers the long-term future.
What's more, the equipment he exchanged from the system was only a few percent of its actual value. Even so, it was still a huge profit.
"Commander, I suddenly feel that you are truly great."
There were already stars in Wang Zihan's eyes. Li Shaoyi silently waved his hands, indicating that this was what he should do and he pretended to be perfect.
"Stop talking about useless things. How's the inspection going with the military and political department's specialists?"
In order to do this, Li Shaoyi traveled back to Peiping for more than ten hours and placed the weapons and equipment in a large warehouse. Fortunately, the first batch of transactions was for a division.
According to Li Shaoyi's idea, the equipment of three divisions should be traded at one time, but the National Government did not have that much money in its account. Moreover, they did not trust Li Shaoyi very much, so they tried it with one division first and then traded the next batch after a month.
"I received a telegram five minutes ago. The inspection of the goods has been completed and the money will be transferred to our account this afternoon. Also, the letter of authorization is on its way to Chengde."
When Wang Zihan answered questions, his mouth was like a machine gun. Li Shaoyi liked that his secretary was so efficient. Anyway, when he asked questions, he could basically answer them.
Li Shaoyi nodded with great satisfaction. The efficiency of the Nanjing National Government was still very high this time.
Of course, there is a reason why it was done so quickly. It mainly concerns their own affairs. If they can finish these things sooner, they can get this batch of arms sooner, and they can arm their own army sooner, so that they can stand up straight in front of various warlords.
There's another benefit for Li Shaoyi, too. Where did this batch of arms come from? Now that the warlords know about it, and the price is only half of what it used to be, they'll definitely actively buy from Li Shaoyi. We can resell it and make a huge profit. This batch of arms can also increase the combat effectiveness of various armies. When a full-scale war breaks out, it can deal a heavy blow to the Japanese. This really kills two birds with one stone.
When Li Shaoyi was thinking about this proudly, the sound of Natasha's unique high heels came. It seemed that there was something important again, otherwise Natasha would not come to report in person.
"Let me guess first, have the Japanese increased their troops?"
There was a question on Li Shaoyi's face, but Natasha nodded heavily, Li Shaoyi guessed right.
"The 14th Division and the 7th Brigade."
While Natasha was speaking, she handed Li Shaoyi a piece of paper, which listed all the troops that were to be reinforced. The main force was the 14th Division and the 7th Brigade, as well as some auxiliary troops from various places, totaling nearly 40,000 people.
