Chapter 4 Selling Arms

In modern times, the army was not allowed to do business because the army was prone to corruption when doing business.

But during this special period, the military was forced to do business in a certain industry, and it was also advocated by superiors.

The head of the leader concluded: "The independent group made a fortune by making salt, but we shouldn't rush to make salt! There are hundreds of thousands of people, and they all go to make salt, and there are more people than salt!"

This is in line with the specific situation at that time.

In this regard, if too many people follow the trend, it is easy to cause excessive salt and the price will drop, and the result will be that no money will be made.

On the other hand, the seasonality of salt making is even depends on the weather: rainwater is needed when dissolved salt, and sun is needed when drying salt, otherwise it will affect the precipitation and quality of salt, and it is not possible to be used at any time.

Later, the problem of rainwater was solved... A regiment of the Eighth Route Army sent to Dingbian dug wells near the salt pond. When there was no rainwater, they used brine in the well to artificially simmer salt, which doubled the output of the salt pond and partially overcomes the defect of salt harvesting based on the sky.

But I still can't squeeze in.

So the cadres had their own ideas, some said they wanted to work in bedding factories, some said they wanted to open logging farms, and some planned to open land together, establish farms, ranches, etc.

The conference room was in full swing, and three groups of three, five were discussing how to make money.

There were a lot of people around Li Yunlong. Anyone with some mules and horses in the army hoped to get some experience in salt fighting from Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong is not stingy in this regard... This guy is actually not greedy for money, he is greedy for equipment, afraid of fighting without war and drinking without alcohol.

Other things are just about being loyal and everyone who has money makes money together!

So he told everyone how to operate, how to act as a "bodyguard" for his fellow villagers, and then collect some salt as a hard-earned fee, etc.

The cadres mentioned were all so hard that they wanted to go back to organize immediately.

Another person who did not participate in the discussion was Zhang Wanhe.

His arsenal was already busy enough to be free to work on other things, so he took this time to report some situation to the leader.

Everyone in the conference room was busy, only Wang Xuexin sat on the chair and frowned with his back against the wall.

He knew that although the soldiers did nothing wrong, such as land reclamation and grain cultivation, it was of course urgent. There were also clothing, logging, furniture factories, etc., which could solve the problem of self-sufficiency in the base area.

but……

They are also labor-intensive industries with extremely low added value, and a considerable number of them cannot even trade with the enemy and cannot fundamentally break the blockade.

For example, furniture is so large and convenient for transportation?

There is also a bedding, how many cars do you need to change to a radio station?

Simply put, Wang Xuexin knew the development of history and knew that these things could not change the situation where the base areas were in trouble in the future and the Eighth Route Army had sharply decreased.

Salt is no exception.

"Comrade Wang Xuexin!" At this time, the leader noticed Wang Xuexin's strange expression and asked: "Do you have any different opinions on what the comrades are discussing? Can you please raise any opinions!"

"Report to the Chief!" Wang Xuexin replied: "I have no objection to these things, just..."

"Just what?" asked the chief.

Other cadres also looked towards Wang Xuexin.

Wang Xuexin was a celebrity at this time. Everyone knew that this guy had many tricks and could fight, so he stopped talking when he heard that he had something to say.

Wang Xuexin replied: "It's just... I was thinking, is it a bit slower to do these things?"

The leader said "yo" and said with a smile: "You're not a small tone. Do you have a way to make money quickly?"

“Yes, but…”

"But what?" said the chief: "If you have something to say, don't hesitate!"

"Chief!" Wang Xuexin said: "I was wondering, can we sell the rocket launcher to the stubborn army!"

The conference room suddenly became silent, and the cadres were all stunned. Even Li Yunlong and Zhang Wanhe looked surprised.

After a while, Li Yunlong smiled and bowed to the surroundings and said, "I'm sorry, everyone! Xiao Dongbei drank a few bowls of wine before coming out. Now he's getting into trouble, he's just a foul!"

Then he gave Wang Xuexin a wink, aren't you afraid that others will put you on a traitor? Can this rocket launcher be like salt, and can be sold to the enemy at will?

The leader ignored Li Yunlong. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Comrade Wang Xuexin, this rocket launcher may have made money quickly, but... how can you sell arms to the enemy?"

"Yes, Comrade Wang Xuexin!" The chief of staff criticized with a stern face: "Selling arms to the enemy, and it is our secret weapon, that is tantamount to scam a tiger. The enemy turns around and uses these weapons on us. At that time, we will have to pay a heavy price! This idea is not appropriate, and we cannot violate the principle just to make money!"

The Chief of Staff is polite to say this. If it weren’t for the knowledge of Wang Xuexin, or even the rocket launcher was made by him, he would have to enter the review process.

This is exactly what Wang Xuexin is worried about. Selling arms is indeed more sensitive, so he has been considering whether to say it.

But now that it's already started, let's just talk about it.

"Chief, Chief of Staff!" Wang Xuexin raised his chest and made a desperate gesture, saying, "This rocket launcher is mainly used to fight tanks. We don't have tanks, so how much role can it play when sold to the stubborn army?"

The leader was stunned and thought that this was somewhat reasonable, but he added: "Isn't there any anti-infantry bazooka?"

"Chief!" Wang Xuexin asked back: "Can the stubborn army buy anti-infantry bazooka?"

When the leader heard this, he felt it made sense, so he nodded slightly to agree.

Li Yunlong understood, his eyes immediately lit up, and then he laughed a few times.

Kong Jie asked in confusion: "I said, "Little Northeast, why didn't the stubborn army buy anti-infantry bazooka?"

"Old Confucius!" Li Yunlong replied on behalf of the stubborn army, "What is the most feared by the stubborn army? Is it the charge of our Eighth Route Army or the Japanese tank?"

"Of course..." Kong Jie said this and said "oh", then nodded, "This is reasonable. If it were me, I wouldn't buy anti-infantry bazooka!"

"I definitely won't buy it!" Li Yunlong raised his chin and said proudly: "We only have this thing in the world. Then the price is not as good as we can. How can we open it? Once the price is expensive, the stubborn army will have to worry about it, and then think about it... if there are machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers in infantry, why do we need to use expensive rocket launchers? They don't have any anti-tank weapons, and they have to grit their teeth and buy them for a lot of money!"

As he said that, he smiled "hehe" and gave Wang Xuexin a thumbs up: "You have two hands, Xiaobeidong, you are making money from the stubborn army, and then let the stubborn army fight the Japanese..."

Ruthless enough!

Poisonous enough!

He is so strong!
