Chapter 187 Seeing Monroe
Just when Wang Yue's hand was cramping when he signed the sign, in the distant Siberia, Irkutzk Prefecture, a certain army base of the Soviet Far East Army, Rodrei Shelfsky had just entered his uncle, Monroe Shelfsky's house...
"Haha, Rodre, my dear nephew, what is the important thing that makes you eager to come to me from Mongolia excitedly?" Monroe welcomed Rodre into the house and laughed.
Since last December, Rodrei personally inspected the Advance Army, the Advance Army has started preliminary cooperation with the Soviet military (more appropriately, the Rodrei family). Although Monroe wanted Rodrei to stay in Yalushan base and watch the development of this small warlord, he was shirked by Wang Yue. In the end, Wang Yue brought Rodrei to Suiyuan, and then sent Rodrei to Solangkoll, a small border town in Mongolia and Suiyuan.
Because with the growth of the 201st Regiment in the Daqingshan Base Area and the strong rise of the Hule Security Group, Wang Yue's troops have successfully infiltrated and controlled a section of border between Mongolia and Suiyuan. This section of border is now the channel for cooperation between Wang Yue's troops and the Soviet Union, and Solankoll Town is a trading distribution center. It has now been completely taken over by the Soviet military and has become Rodre's territory.
Several transactions that have been conducted a few days ago, including a large number of weapons, steel, oil and other materials, were also transported to Suiyuan through the town of Soronkol. Although only a few transactions have been conducted, Rodre and the Shelfsky family have made a lot of money.
As soon as Wang Yue sent a telegram to Rodre, asking to meet Monroe in person. After discussing the intention to further cooperate, Rodre rushed to Monroe without stopping.
"Hehe, uncle, my savior, Brother Wang Yue, is coming to see you, and it will be here tomorrow morning. Uncle, you said last time that Brother Wang can come to see you at any time." Rodrey smiled.
"Oh. That guy is finally coming. It's a bit interesting." Monroe said.
...
I was speechless all night, early the next morning.
Wang Yue turned into an eagle again, spread his wings and soared in the sky under the rising sun. He headed northwest and flew straight to Irkutzk Prefecture.
After more than an hour of flight, Wang Yue landed smoothly in the suburbs of Irkutzk Prefecture. Soon Rodre's people came to Wang Yue and several military vehicles drove the way. He directly led Wang Yue to the military base.
"Brother Wang, welcome to Irkutzk." As soon as we met, Rodrei gave a warm hug and greeted him with some excitement.
"Hello, Rodre, thank you for your selfless help over the past few months, so that our cooperation can go so smoothly. Thank you sincerely." Wang Yue thanked.
"Haha, it is my honor to be able to help Brother Wang. Let's go, I will take you to meet my uncle. My Uncle Monroe has always wanted to see you, and is waiting for you at home." After Rodre said that, he pulled Wang Yue into Monroe's courtyard.
Monroe Serfsky is currently the deputy chief of staff of the Soviet Far East Army. He is about 50 years old. He is a typical Europa race. He has a medium figure, a huge head shape, a high nose, a narrow and high bulge, and his light-colored eyes are bright and bright. The first impression he gave Wang Yue was that this guy was definitely an old fox.
"Hello, General Monroe," Wang Yue said respectfully in pure Soviet Russian.
"Haha, hello, little guy, welcome to my house as a guest." Monroe seemed very approachable and took the initiative to hug Wang Yue, patted Wang Yue's back gently, and then smiled and said, "Good guy, you are too strong. Standing here, like a hill, is a soldier's material, which is very good."
"General Monroe has been awarded too much." Wang Yue said respectfully.
"Okay, little guy, don't be so restrained. You saved Rodre's life. You are the distinguished guest of our Shelfsky family. Relax and come and have a drink for our friendship." Monroe picked up the vodka that had already fallen on the table and took the initiative to hand it to Wang Yue a cup.
A large glass of vodka, at least half a pound, is the best way for the Soviets to entertain friends. Although Wang Yue does not like this kind of hospitality, he can only follow the local customs, not to mention that he still wants others. He respectfully took the wine glass and smiled: "Thank you, for friendship."
After the friendship and politeness ended, Wang Yue began to go straight to the point. After all, they may not have time to share with him here. This time he came to ask for Monroe, and he had a clear goal. Everyone is a soldier, so he doesn't want to do anything to beat around the bush.
"General Monroe, Wang Yue came here uninvited this time, mainly because he wanted to strengthen the cooperation between our two sides." Wang Yue said frankly.
"Haha, little guy, I like your honesty. Tell me, how can I help you if I need us?" Monroe smiled.
"I want to buy tanks and aircraft from your country, form an aviation team and mechanized force." Wang Yue said bluntly.
As soon as Wang Yue said that, the smile on Monroe's face disappeared immediately. This joke was a bit too big. Monroe was able to make the decision by buying chariots and planes, especially since China and Japan are fighting fiercely, and their country is fully committed to developing the economy and are unwilling to offend the Japanese.
Of course, if the Chinese government comes forward and applies for some from the Soviet Union, it may be necessary to discuss it, but the little guy in front of him is clearly a guy who is active in the Japanese war zone as a bandit. To put it nicely, he is at most a little warlord. Why is his appetite so big?
"Ahem, Comrade Wang Yue, as far as I know, you often move in the mountains. Do you want tanks and planes? Is it useful?" Monroe asked back.
"General Monroe, although we are still in the mountains now, this does not mean that we will always be in the mountains. By the same token, although the Japanese dominate for a while, they will definitely not be able to dominate for a lifetime. Perhaps, my troops are still weak now, but we are growing every day and we are improving at all times. We have to look forward, are you right?" Wang Yue said confidently.
"Young people are energetic and motivated. This is great, but you must keep your steps steady. In the words of you Chinese, don't start to run without learning to walk. This is easy to fall." Monroe smiled and reminded.
"General Monroe, thank you for your kind reminder, but I really want to develop these two troops. You also know the future war. Whoever controls air supremacy will take the initiative, and whoever controls mechanized forces will be the king on the battlefield."
"Although our troops are still weak, we always have to start preparing and always take the first step. There is an old saying in China that is good, stupid birds fly first, in short, I hope General Monroe can help me. As for the price, everything is easy to discuss." Wang Yue said bluntly.
Monroe shook his head helplessly and said, "Little guy, I know you are not short of money, but many things cannot be solved. It's like you want to apply for planes and tanks. I think your hope is very slim. Of course, if you want to buy one or two to play with, I can help you, but I think you shouldn't just want to play with it."
After hearing this, Wang Yue's face suddenly showed disappointment, but his heart was shiny. This result was expected. How could a big killer like tanks and aircraft be sold to a small warlord who had never even shown his face on the world stage, and he would also help you form a mechanized army and an aviation team? This is not a dream, so what is it?
As for money, no matter how rich Wang Yue is, he is really worth it at the national level.
Wang Yue pretended to be disappointed, and after a moment of silence, he continued to say, "Mr. Monroe, is this really difficult?"
Monroe nodded and said certainly: "It's hard."
"Okay, since General Monroe is embarrassed, I will take a step back. I want to hire some military experts from General Monroe for a high salary, or those who retire. I wonder if General Monroe can help?" Wang Yue finally revealed the real purpose of this trip.
"It's easier to deal with people, but the Soviet Union does not want to intervene in the Sino-Japanese War now. I hope you can understand this." Monroe said.
"General Monroe, don't worry, I hired experts from your country and must be protecting them like treasures. How could I let them go to war? You said yes." Wang Yue said with relief.
"Okay, let's talk about it, what kind of military experts are needed?" Monroe asked.
"The engineers about airport construction and management, as well as pilots, armored vehicle operators, maintenance and ground crews, etc.," Wang Yue said bluntly.
"Haha, little guy, there are no planes or armored vehicles. Why do you want to repair the airport? You should hire a pilot?" Monroe said helplessly.
"General Monroe, an outstanding pilot and an expert in construction and management of the airport, has an annual salary of 100,000 US dollars, and an annual salary of 50,000 US dollars, of course, this is only for the employees, and General Monroe had to hire one for me, so we will pay the same commission. Do you think this is OK?" Wang Yueyan said.
The Russians are a greedy nation, and they are their favorites, whether it is land or money. Of course, most of the Russians in this era still have something they insist on in their hearts, but as long as they do not violate this persistence, as long as they have sufficient benefits, the Russians will surrender.
Such a high salary and such a high commission, the Shelfsky family would not make money, that would be a fool. Isn’t it just a few people? It’s not easy. Just let them retire and ask them to go to Wang Yue’s army to guide. Anyway, it’s not about letting them go to war, and the Japanese cannot know. This matter does not need to be passed through the above at all. Monroe can do it alone.
To be honest, if Wang Yue had time, it would not be difficult to go directly to the West to hire some retired pilots, and he would not even need one-tenth of his salary. However, Wang Yue was obviously not a person who valued money too much. Instead, Wang Yue believed that if he could solve the problem with money, it would not be a big deal.
Although it costs more money, as long as Monroe can really help, Wang Yue’s aviation brigade will probably not be far from the day of flying into the sky. After all, Monroe has so many benefits, so he must have to dig a whole set of people. After all, he is short in his hands and soft in his mouth.
"Haha, the little guy is very ambitious, okay, I'll help you with this." Monroe responded readily.
"Thank you sincerely to General Monroe." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
