Chapter 132 Two goods are sold
"Didn't you just want to give us a gun and then we have to buy bullets from you? A profiteer!" Guan Linzheng said bluntly.
Yang Feng laughed.
Zheng Dongguo said solemnly, "Brother Yang, no matter how much you joke, you have to promise us one thing. If you really fight with the Japanese, your cannon will have to provide us with support."
"Don't worry, what do I buy these things? Isn't it just used to fight the Japanese? If the war really starts, as long as you don't throw away tens of millions of people in Pingjin, let alone cannons, I'll send you all the planes!" Yang Feng said with his chest.
"Then we will thank you first!" Zheng Dongguo and Guan Linzheng quickly picked up their wine glasses and said.
After the three of them toast, Yang Feng began to complain.
"To be honest, if Chairman He hadn't allowed me to, I would have planned to buy more planes, more cannons, and even tanks. But many of the affairs of our country are awkward when I think about it, and I can't use them even if I have the energy."
Guan Zheng and the others smiled awkwardly.
Yang Feng was doing something nonsense this time, and neither the Japanese nor the bald man said much, but the pro-Japanese faction in Nanjing jumped out, asking the Peking Military Commission to severely punish him and ban his illegal armed forces. Some even said that Yang Feng should be arrested for the crime of destroying peace. Anyway, the words of the group were not useful, and they jumped up and down there to express friendship to friendly countries.
Zheng and the others are naturally aware of these matters, but as their identities, it is natural that they are not good to say more here. They can only persuade Yang Feng there: "Brother Yang, outsiders do not understand the truth, and there are some misunderstandings. The Chairman naturally knows it. Don't take this little thing to heart. If you get the cannon back for the Ministry of Defense as soon as possible, all misunderstandings will be resolved."
These are not the only people who are thinking about Yang Feng's cannons. After learning that the Germans might buy them from Yang Feng, Britain and France could not sit still, especially the French. They had long been scared by the German cannons. Although now everyone's artillery level is similar, and they don't lack 20 kilometers of cannons, they are all bulky and larger caliber, and they are long-barrel cannons. If their 150-level howitzers can shoot more than 20 kilometers, they will not let people survive, let alone self-propelled cannons.
The consuls of the two countries in Peking discussed and found Yang Feng together. They were all acquaintances, and they also knew Yang Feng's temper very well. There was no need to consider the twists and turns that they had with the Chinese in the past, so it was more convenient to go straight with him.
"Mr. Yang, as a friend, we really don't want to see you sell your self-propelled artillery to the Germans." The French consul said with a sincere look on his face.
"This is not easy to deal with. I have already agreed to Mr. Todman, and he has also contributed a lot to mediate the misunderstanding between me and the Japanese. If I violated my promise, I would be too sorry to my friend." Yang Feng said embarrassedly.
"Then we can only protest to your government. Your government will stop this transaction."
"Are you threatening me? You should know that my artillery is not produced domestically, and my government cannot bind me at all. They may be sent from any port along the Pacific coast and then sailing to Germany." Yang Fengzhen said with a smile.
This is also the most troublesome thing for Britain and France. Yang Feng usually goes out for a month now. Such a long time is enough for him to run to Hawaii and then run back. If he uses the method of reversing goods, he can run to the vast central Pacific Ocean, then contact any merchant ship in any country, and monitor every corner of the earth. Even for the British Navy, it is nothing different from a fantasy.
Even his small merchant ship could not keep an eye on it. After the conflict at Tianjin Port broke out, the Japanese Navy transferred more than a dozen warships to block outside Dagukou, hoping to catch Yang Feng's ship for revenge, but it still disappeared without a trace, as if it disappeared directly into the air.
So the British consul next to him quickly explained: "Mr. Yang, we have no other meaning. You also know that the current peace in Europe is hard-won. I don't think you want this kind of peace to be destroyed, right?"
"Of course, I am a staunch pacifist." Yang Fengyi said righteously, but he thought to himself that I wish you another fight and kill tens of millions of people!
"But canceling this deal will cause me a lot of losses, not only economic but also reputational, but also affect my personal friendship with Mr. Todman. You should give me some compensation for such a big loss!" Then he said with embarrassment.
It’s easy to ask for money. Both families are rich and powerful, so naturally they won’t refuse on this issue.
"Of course, the compensation will definitely be given to you. If you ask for an amount, we will see if it is appropriate." said the French consul.
"I'm not really short of money. I'm just missing something now. You know I'll travel around the world frequently, but the cruise ships are too slow and have to wait, which is a waste of time, so I need a faster ship." Yang Feng said.
"Don't you have a ship?" asked the French consul.
"That is a special transport ship of Yanhuang Laboratory, I have no right to use it." Yang Feng shook his head and said.
"You mean we build a private yacht for you," said the British Consul.
"There is no need to be so troublesome. Anyone of you has a cruiser who is ready to retire may as well send me one. It is very troublesome to get scrap iron to dismantle. Thousands of tons of steel can't be sold much. It's better to give it to me and I can pay for it to transform it. As long as it can guarantee a speed of thirty knots, it's fine to drive from Shanghai to Hawaii."
This is acceptable. Steel is very cheap now, and retired cruisers have to be dismantled. This is another big fee. The money for selling steel may not necessarily be able to dismantle the ship fee. Giving favors is very cost-effective.
"But now retired are old-fashioned protective cruisers or armored cruisers. No matter how they are modified, it will be difficult to meet your speed and endurance requirements." The British Consul obviously knows more about naval knowledge.
"Then give me a new one!" Yang Feng said indifferently.
Damn, who is willing to give you the new cruiser?
"The new cruiser is very troublesome. First of all, it will be difficult for us to pass the naval side. Of course, if you can give us a few of your self-propelled artillery, I believe the Ministry of Defense will be easy to talk to," said the French consul.
"No. No, this is absolutely not possible. Just as I said just now, I am a staunch pacifist. I will not do anything that affects peace in Europe. I will not sell it to Germans. I will not sell it to others." Yang Fengyi said righteously.
"Of course, with our friendship, I will not refuse if you want to send someone to visit or help with some repairs." Yang Feng changed his mind and continued.
"I understand, understand, we can fully understand your spirit of peace." The two identical old foxes held back their smiles and said seriously.
With their industrial strength, they are naturally very confident that they can dismantle, survey and map and then copy it. Of course, they cannot really give Yang Feng a new cruiser, find a few light cruisers that have just been launched from the ship platform, and then directly transform it. A 5,000-ton cruiser will not cost more than one million US dollars, and it will be cheaper without adding weapons. Then increase the fuel capacity and transform the internal layout. The total cost is only hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even if you buy the current towing howitzer, you can't buy a few.
It just so happens that Britain has just launched a Linxian-class ship. At worst, it’s okay to embezzle it first. I believe that the Ministry of Defense will agree to the temptation of a 152mm self-propelled cannon with a range of more than 20 kilometers.
Looking at their backs leaving, Yang Feng also sighed with emotion. These people are not easy to deceive. They are not bald guys. The bald guy is willing to accept his outrageous offer because he has no choice. Just like he spent 20 million to form a heavy artillery regiment, even though he knew that he had paid several times the price, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.
But Britain and France are different. They are fully capable of creating 150-level self-propelled artillery themselves. The main purpose of finding themselves is to make the twenty-kilometer range. Of course, there is no bottom-row extended range bomb. If they can't shoot that far, it doesn't matter to them. What they promised them was artillery, not shells.
He would never sell the shells to them. Armed Britain and France is not within his strategic plan. His principle is to try his best to help Adolf. To be honest, it is really a pity that such a great hero fell so quickly. It would be great if he could have been tossed for a few more years.
However, it is still cheap for them. You should know that this is the technology of the 1970s. There are many things that cannot be imagined in this era, including the loader and the chassis system. However, with the current material level, it is definitely a fantasy to imitate it. Yang Feng is still very confident about this. Even the Tiger King tank built by the Germans in the late World War II, wouldn’t it be too late to get off the ground if they didn’t run far? It is said that the t34 they imitated now seems to have a lot of trouble, and this is still the case when they provide a complete set of technical information.
Then Yang Feng made a special trip to Nanjing and apologized to Todman himself, explaining that he had to cancel the transaction. Todman reacted calmly. He had already guessed that the deal could not be saved since he heard that the consuls of Britain and France were going to find Yang Feng, but he didn't care too much. Germany was not very eager for Yang Feng's self-propelled artillery.
Besides, with his understanding of Yang Feng, things cannot be that simple.
"Yang, I think you ran from Peking to Nanjing. You wouldn't just tell me this unfortunate news, right?" he said lightly.
“How is it possible, although I have to succumb to their pressure, with the friendship between us, how can I not reserve a solution?
In fact, my artillery is not important. It can be made with your country's technology. What is important is the shell extension technology. I can sell a batch of shells to your country alone. I now have two thousand range extended-range shells, and I can sell one thousand to your country, which is enough for you to conduct research." Yang Feng said.
"Where is the price, you should know that in the last transaction, you made a lot of money for us."
Yang Feng's face turned red with a rare moment. He completed the last T34 transaction before the depreciation of the US dollar and the introduction of the Silver Act. Moreover, it was a silver transaction. If the current silver price is calculated, the Germans paid twice the price.
"That was purely an accident. I didn't know that Americans would do it like this. Let's exchange shells for planes. Give me five more ju52. It just so happens that my airline plane is not enough now, so I plan to set up a branch in Tianjin." He thought for a while and said that the Japanese joined forces with a few traitors to set up an airline in Tianjin, and at the same time asked to rent Tianjin Airport. Previously, the airport was partly leased to Pan American Airlines, taking off and landing flights from Shanghai to Tianjin. However, because of the emergence of Jinyuan Airlines, the business was depressed. If their airline was opened, it would be natural to arrange a bunch of armed personnel at the airport.
As soon as the war begins, the Japanese army in Haiguang Temple seizes the railway station and cut off the transportation channel of the Zhongxun team on the Luanhe defense line. Then they seize the airport. The Japanese army can use planes to transport troops here on a large scale, and can also drive fighter jets and bombers to bomb Peiping with Tianjin as a base.
What Yang Feng has to do is to open a family by himself, and then build a battalion from the security guard brigade and guard it every day. I see how you can grab it.
"Yes! But we have to test it." Todman nodded. The business was not a loss. Five Junkers were only more than one million marks. It was very cost-effective to exchange for a thousand 152mm extended range bombs. Even ordinary shells cost more than one hundred thousand marks. He knew that Yang Feng had a great apology in it, otherwise it would be impossible for this profiteer to be so generous.
Of course, the test is necessary. I will find a few artillery officers from the German Affairs Consultative Group, and then Yang Feng took him to Peking, and found a place to bounce a few shots with ordinary shells and extended range. It just so happened that Yang Feng's plane was also there, so he flew directly to Jiangxi to pick up people. Yang Feng took his bodyguards to visit Nanjing City, and before he was in trouble with Japan, it would be better to see a few more beauties.
It was a bit hot, and this guy was wearing a pair of big shorts, half a sleeve, and a toad mirror on his face. He was holding his tickling scepter in his hand, followed by two bodyguards, and went up the street with his eyes and wandered all the way to Confucius Temple.
As soon as I got there, I found a platform in front of me, with a banner on it. There were four big characters written on it. A pretty girl was holding a paper tube in her hand and shouting loudly: "Comrades, now in the crisis of the country, foreign enemies are eyeing us, and we should do our best to alleviate the national crisis. Now, Mr. Yang from Peking is capable of purchasing the world's first-class cannon from abroad, and can offset the price of jewelry and medicinal materials. However, the country's financial resources are difficult, and only ten cannons cannons cannons cannons cannons. I, a student from Zhongyang University, hereby asks all of you to donate useless jewelry and jade to replace them with this cannon to defend the country."
Yang Feng's eyes were in a daze, as if countless stars were surrounding him.
"Sir, sir!" A cute little girl with round face, wearing a blue student uniform, stood in front of him in a donation box, looking at him shyly, her eyes staring at him from time to time. The huge diamond on his scepter in his hand shines brightly in the sun.
Yang Feng looked down and saw that there were still a lot of things in the donation box, including jade bracelets, pearl necklaces, even earrings, jade pendants, etc. It seemed that he had gained a lot. Although he felt a bit unlucky, he felt much better when he thought that these things would be snatched away by the Japanese sooner or later.
Yang Feng looked at the scepter and looked at her again. Whether to donate or not, although theoretically he had to return to his own hands after donating it, he probably might not be able to return to his own hands when he was in a dilemma. Suddenly, a chaotic scream came from the crowd.
He and the little girl raised their heads at the same time, and saw a frightened horse rushing towards him not far away, and the crowd on the street hurriedly dodged.
This matter was just as Yang Feng's wish. He quickly pulled the little girl to hide aside. Then the two bodyguards took out their pistols and shot several shots without hesitation. The bullet of Bolanging m1911 was extremely powerful and he drew several holes in the horse's head. Then he heard a cry of sorrow. The expensive white Ying Pure Blood fell down with a bang. The rider was thrown several meters away and just smashed into a pile of watermelons.
The watermelon, which was more than one meter high, protected him well. This guy was completely unscathed and stood up quickly, but he couldn't watch it anymore. It was like someone splashed with red and green dyes. It was very suitable to play heavy-tasting zombie films.
"Bastard, I want you to pay your life if you dare to kill my horse!" He stood up and kicked Yang Feng's bodyguard. He was short, had a sharp voice, and couldn't see clearly, but he was very imposing. He knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary family, and of course ordinary people could not afford to raise the pure blood of Ying.
Yang Feng's bodyguard was 1.9 meters tall. The child was at most at his chest. He could not helplessly pinched his neck and pushed it aside.
As soon as he let go, his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly slashed the guy's neck with a palm. Then he heard a sound of betrayal, and a German PPK pistol landed on the ground.
"Twist him in the water and wake up!" Yang Feng said with a gloomy face.
There was a ditch next to it. The bodyguard directly pinched the guy's neck and picked it up, and then threw it into the ditch.
The guy was furious and flew inside. As soon as he got up, two cars rushed towards the street when he came. They stopped abruptly next to the horse corpse. Six bodyguards surrounded a middle-aged woman and rushed out of the car door.
Yang Feng's two bodyguards calmly changed the pistol to a fast and slow machine.
When the guy saw the middle-aged woman, he immediately cried and threw herself into his arms, and then cried about how Yang Feng's bodyguard abused him.
The middle-aged woman stood up with her eyebrows and turned her head to signal. The bodyguard next to her took out a gun and was about to move forward, but then she did not dare to move. The four machine heads with the openings opened directly facing them. This thing was fired continuously. When she pulled the trigger eighty bullets, she threw them out. No master was wasted.
"It's a rebellion. I dare to use a gun in this Nanjing city!" The middle-aged woman obviously saw the market and shouted angrily with her eyebrows raised.
"This lady, it seems you are the ones who drew their guns first?" Yang Feng kicked the ppk on the ground and said with a sneer.
The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment and looked at him with some confusion. Her big shorts and half-sleeved sleeves looked no better than street gangsters. The sunglasses on her face were Jin Yuan's high-end goods. When she looked at the scepter in his hand, her face immediately became a little serious. She was aware of the goods, so she naturally knew that the big diamond alone would cost tens of thousands of oceans, but she really couldn't think of anyone among the top rich people in China who were so alternative, and who would like to play with the scepter that European talents liked.
At this time, the police arrived. When the police officer in charge saw the middle-aged woman, he immediately shivered. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
