The German weapons purchased will take at least three months to arrive. This batch of weapons is mainly light weapons. Leng Feng wanted to buy the latest 75mm Bofos mountain cannon from the Germans, but the Germans did not refuse or agree.

In fact, the Germans were frightened by Leng Feng's desire to buy. They asked to buy one hundred doors in one breath, each door equipped with at least two hundred shells.

A Bofos mountain cannon costs about 15,000 US dollars, and a shell costs 25 US dollars. If it is special ammunition, the price is even higher, with an order worth 20,000 US dollars, and a total value of 2 million US dollars.

(Readers who know about the 75mm Bofos mountain cannon know that this mountain cannon is equipped in the country J. and is the best mountain cannon in World War II. It has a long range, high firing rate, and is easy to load and unload, and can be put into battle at any time. It is very suitable for combat in areas such as China with complex terrain. It is better than the Japanese mountain cannon. I don’t know where to go. However, this mountain cannon was produced by Sweden’s Bofos, but it received technical support from the German Krupp Company. Although Sweden is a neutral country, selling Chinese weapons is not restricted.

It is greatly influenced by Germany. If Germany does not agree to sell it, Sweden will not be able to sell it. The country once purchased four regiments and 96 Bofos mountain cannons, which lost only half of the losses in the battles of Songhu and Nanjing. The excellent performance of this mountain cannon was loved by Chinese soldiers. Sweden also helped China realize the production of shells at that time. It would also be said that if you buy this kind of cannon, the domestic supply of ammunition will be able to afford the supply of ammunition. At least this will not be the dilemma of having a cannon but not having ammunition.

The order of two million US dollars is not small, and it seems that there is still a chance of subsequent cooperation. Of course, Hans will not let it go. Once the transaction is successful, his commission will be quite large.

What's more, although Germany has formed an alliance with Japan, the Head of State still has a high impression of China. He has said more than once that the Chinese and Germanic people are the best races in the world.

Besides, Sweden sells weapons, what does it have to do with Germany?

Hans was very anxious to send an urgent telegram to Berlin through the German liaison agency in China. At this time, the Head of State also knew about the atrocities of the Japanese army in Nanjing, the capital of China, and was also a little dissatisfied with the Japanese government. Although he discriminated against Jews, he still agreed with the Chinese.

Such a large military purchase cannot be carried out behind the German government. Krupp quickly contacted him, and he got a tacit attitude, but he could not let his allies find a handle to protest.

Krupp is not a fool, so he doesn't make any money. Besides, this Bofos mountain cannon was produced by a Swedish company, which is a neutral country and there are no obstacles to exporting Chinese weapons.

The problem is the transportation and payment. In terms of payment, it must be on-the-payment. Otherwise, if the situation occurs halfway, the money is given and the weapon is ruined, what should I do?

Sweden is not able to handle transportation, so Germany has to coordinate the matter.

It will take one or two months to produce a hundred Bofos artillery, and the transportation needs to be coordinated. The shipment of these artillery will be transported to China at least until the end of the year.

It doesn't matter if it takes a longer time, as long as it can be transported, but Leng Feng is worried that the Japanese army may soon land in Qinzhou Bay and cut off China's seaport. It is hard to say whether this batch of artillery can be transported ashore. Even if it is transferred to Hong Kong, it will be very difficult to transport it back to China, unless the transportation channel is changed and from the Indochina Peninsula will be too variable.

Leng Feng asked to complete the transaction within four months.

After communication and consultation, Germany and Sweden agreed to deliver the goods around November, while the payment method was to transfer cash through Citibank in the United States, with the settlement location in Hong Kong.

When Chiang knew about such a large military purchase, he was jealous, but now that Germany has withdrew its advisory group, it will soon end diplomatic relations.

If there is any military purchase agreement with the National Government, the bearded head of state is unwilling to have diplomatic disputes with Asian allies.

But even if they trade through agents in private, the Germans are more worried about whether the National Government has the ability to pay, and if there is a conflict in the future, the money will not be collected.

Although Leng Feng is also a general of the Chinese army, he has the ability to pay. In Hans' telegram to Berlin, he also changed his concept, which made German senior officials think that Leng Feng is just a newly emerging warlord in China.

With a good reputation foundation, and Xiao Wangzi seemed to have a little appreciation for Leng Feng, the military purchase was unexpectedly achieved.

In addition, Leng Feng also spent $300,000 to purchase an old production line and bullet production line for Mauser rifles, as well as a batch of steel for producing guns and cannons, etc.

The payer is a "cool" company in the United States. As long as it does not have a relationship with the Chinese government, the Germans are really not afraid of the Japanese. If the weapons are sold, they will ignore it.

Although the "cool" company in the United States has been established for only two months, it has been booming in the US stock market and securities industry. With Leng Feng's secret guidance, he used the money he cheated from the Japanese and whitewashed it and invested it in the stock market and securities, with low entry and high exit.

In just two months, the capital of tens of millions of dollars suddenly increased from tens of millions of dollars to fifty millions of dollars. Their vicious eyes are simply creepy. They want to increase whatever they buy, and they are about to become a mythical company in the financial investment field of Wall Street.

In addition to the financial field and industrial field, "Cool" companies are also acquiring some potential small companies, small factories, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. They are generally holding shares but do not interfere with operations. After these small companies are supported by "Cool" companies, they will burst out with strong development potential.

This is the confidence to buy arms with the domineering attitude. If you don’t have money and want to buy something, who will look at you right?

"Military, we sent a technical team to Lanzhou to receive Soviet Russian equipment from a call, saying that the equipment aided by Soviet Russia, except for light weapons, are all old products eliminated from the Tsarist Russian era. They were renovated and shipped over. Some of them cannot be used yet. Do we still want this?"

"You must, don't want to spend money for nothing. Besides, we don't need to equip the security brigade. Local defense can still play some role. It's better to have it than not."

"good."

"But the number they promised was at least 30% less than the number they gave us..."

"Tell Lan Shouqing that the things will be brought back first and then the accounts will be settled later. There is no need to argue with people there. Also, remind them to pay attention to safety. There will be no peace along the way."

"yes."

Leng Feng knew that even if Chiang Kai-shek was generous, the people below would try to get stuck. Although he was not the kind of young wife who was willing to be angry, his own people would suffer losses if they really made trouble on their territory.

There is a saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and there will always be a chance.

Although the weapons provided by the Soviet Union are good, only by cooperating with each other can we exert combat effectiveness. Although relying on other people's assistance, it is not a long-term solution.

Leng Feng has basically stopped fighting with the Japanese army now, and his equipment is all Japanese weapons, and the ammunition does not match the ones produced in the National Government arsenal, especially rifle bullets.

The Type 38 rifle is 65 caliber, so it is urgent to get a bullet production line, even if it is reinstalled, at least it can be replenished by itself after being fired.

Not everyone can afford to play an arsenal, it must have money, machines, and talents.

Leng Feng ordered the logistics department to house civilian gun repair craftsmen while purchasing production machines through various channels and establishing a gun repair shop in Xinxiang.

He successively purchased some scattered civilian machines, gathered up some craftsmen for firearm manufacturing, and hired an engineer named Liu from the original Gongxian Arsenal with a high salary.

In this way, Xinxiang Gun Repair Factory was established.

At present, the gun repair shop is mainly divided into two major departments: the construction department and the ammunition department. The construction department is divided into gun production, artillery repair, carpenter and model tools.

The ammunition department is divided into four departments: gun bullets, artillery shells, grenades and fireworks fuses.

It mainly consists of reinstallation of bullets and the manufacturing of wooden handle grenades.

With the machines in place one after another, in addition to reloading bullets, future gun repair shops can independently produce Type 38 rifle bullets, as well as some mortar shells, etc.

The raw materials required for production are purchased through the Dadong Industry and Trade Company (a subsidiary of the Holding of Vanguard Company) in Hankou and transported to Xinxiang by train and other means of transportation.

China's current industrial production and technical level are too low, so many raw materials can only be imported, so the price is naturally quite expensive.

This is a matter of no choice. Even if you start solving it now, it will take three to five years to achieve results.

Now, if you want to get stable supplements, you can only buy them. Some have purchased a lot through Sato's line, and accumulated combat preparations through various methods.

After the "Second Five-Year Plan" rent reduction policy has been piloted in the villages near Xinxiang after the early publicity. Farmers obviously support this policy very much because this policy will make their annual grain increase of 25%.

With this 25% of the grain, the whole family will not go hungry. In addition to reducing rent and interest rates, the taxes imposed on farmers are also reduced, and taxes are levied on acre of land.

Since ancient times, China has been levied on taxes. Then in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng reformed and distributed taxes to acres. Then in the Qing Dynasty, gentry worked as a whole to pay grain. Although gentry had their own ways to evade taxes, they finally made progress.

The implementation of the "Second Five-Year Plan" rent reduction is the most fatal to these landlords and gentry, not to reduce the rent, but to remeasure the land and determine the level.

This is no longer controlled by them, and false reporting and concealment are basically impossible. The working group is assigned by the top, and it has little to do with the local area.

After training, these people will not favor landlords and gentry, nor farmers and tenants. They will be impartial and will not find any mistakes.

And there are soldiers with live ammunition to protect you. How about you trying to move?

If there was no force to protect it, the working group would have been driven away by these local snakes by various methods before they arrived. Even so, the situation still occurred frequently.

Some people pretend to be ghosts and scare the working group, and some people throw snakes in the room where the working group is resting in the middle of the night...

There were girls in the working group, and they were all scared and cried on the spot.

However, these small actions cannot stop Leng Feng from implementing the "Second Five-Year Plan" rent reduction. Those who dare to block and destroy will be punished more severely.

Leng Feng used tough measures to implement the "Second Five-Year Plan" rent reduction policy. Some landlords and gentry felt that their interests were damaged and dared not speak out.

The "Second Five-Year Plan" rent reduction has reduced taxes for farmers and tenants, and the people at the bottom also benefited and quickly received support from the people in northern Henan.

With the implementation of the policy of rent reduction and interest reduction in the Second Five-Year Plan, Leng Feng's reputation has become increasingly higher among the people in northern Henan, and the number of young people who sign up for the army at recruiting sites in various places has also increased rapidly.

According to the new tax policy, farmers in northern Henan generally reduced their burden by more than 30%, while landlords and gentry in northern Henan suffered considerable losses.

Of course, their losses are just based on the exploitation of farmers. Even the rent they collect now can allow them to live a very generous life.

As for those who conceal and misreport the land, they had missed taxes before, and it would be good that Leng Feng had not pursued them before. If he was ungrateful, then don't blame the knife in his hand for not falling on his own head.

Leng Feng did not impose heavy taxes. On the contrary, he also exempted some unreasonable taxes, especially in order to support industry and commerce, all the messy expenses were all exempted. This move greatly encouraged the industrial and commercial people.

Industrial and commercial people are enthusiastic and thriving, farmers are benefiting, and everyone is benefiting except for a small group of people.

In areas where the "Second Five-Year Plan" reduction of rents and tax exemptions have been implemented, the taxes (grain and industrial and commercial taxes) have not only not decreased, but have also increased.

Especially the collection of grain tax, summer grain was just collected, and it was the time when tenants paid rent and collected summer grain. After the implementation of the "Second Five-Year Plan" rent reduction policy, farmers enthusiastically handed over summer grain.

In the past, it was very difficult to collect summer grain, and it was already very good to collect 50 or 60 percent. This year is different. According to the policy, the collection will be reduced by half, and the landlords will also have to reduce it by half. In this way, the enthusiasm of farmers will increase.

In a few days, almost 50% of the total was collected. After the landlord remeasures the land acres and sets the level of land acres, and then reduces the summer grain in half, even though he feels unhappy, he still pays summer grain taxes according to the new policy.

After counting this, the land that conceals and misses the reports is actually not much summer grain paid, and the loss is only 25% of the rent that the tenant should pay.

Xinxiang area is already in full swing. Although other areas are a little slower, when farmers taste the sweetness, they will naturally spread.

The tenants who did not know the policy had already paid the landlord's rent and beat their chests and stamped their feet with regret, but soon they became happy again.

The working group told them that the rent payment of summer grain this year must be in accordance with the newly formulated "Second Five-Year Plan" rent reduction policy. If you pay more this year, you can pay less next year.

In this way, the tenants still don’t support the new policy of supporting the Northern Henan Administration?

"Leng Guoguang is really brave enough to do what we want to do but have not done." Zhang Yuejun, who once promoted the "rental reduction and interest reduction" policy in Zhejiang, couldn't help but sigh in admiration when he saw the newspaper's report on the new policy in northern Henan.

"Because he has a gun in his hand." The secretary told a truth.
