Chapter 35 Gambling

That night, Lemonlokov rushed back to three stores from Xi'an and brought a radio station to contact the general consultant at any time.

On the other hand, the general consultant who was in Chongqing's training troops was waiting in the office without leaving the radio station, worried about missing any details or wasting time that should not be wasted.

Wang Xuexin was called out from the bed by the correspondent.

Since coming to this time and space, Wang Xuexin quickly developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

No other reason, in this era, it is impossible to do anything when it gets dark at night. Unless you have to spin cotton and weave cloth or handle official duties, it would be a pity to light an oil lamp during this difficult time.

Do you have to go to bed early if you have nothing to do at night? Then get up early at dawn the next day, so you can save some money on gas... This seems unimaginable in modern times. How much money can that little oil be worth? But when life is difficult, it saves it bit by bit.

When Wang Xuexin was initially looking for a few people to play cards and chess, but most people in this era had this habit. It was difficult to find someone to join him when it was dark, so he gradually became accustomed to the local customs.

It was only eight o'clock that night, and Wang Xuexin had already fallen asleep for a while, and then the little boy quietly walked to Wang Xuexin's bed and shouted: "Battery Commander, Battalion Commander?"

Wang Xuexin grabbed the box cannon beside the pillow and jumped up. He habitually raised his gun and pointed it at the black figure in front of him. He was so scared that he hurriedly shouted: "Battery Commander, don't shoot, don't shoot! It's me, kid!"

At this time, Wang Xuexin heard the voice of the cat and asked in confusion: "Caozi? Why don't you scream outside the door? It's good to knock on the door a few times!"

"Why didn't you scream?" Maozi replied aggrievedly: "I knocked on the door several times, and you were yelling inside so happily. I didn't respond for a long time, so I came in!"

Wang Xuexin said "Oh" and thought to himself that he hadn't been used to the name of "battalion commander" during this period. If he called "company commander", it would be like a conditioned reflex to wake up.

This thing is a bit strange, or it can be said to be a habit developed on the battlefield.

Sometimes Wang Xuexin had to sleep on the position, where there were guns and cannons, and various shouts from the soldiers. To sleep in this environment, he had to block the useless noises, that is, to force himself to ignore them.

If you hear your name or identity, such as "Comrade Wang Xuexin" or "Company Commander", you will jump up immediately like you are stabbed by a needle, no matter how deep you sleep.

Now, Wang Xuexin should take some time to adapt to the call of "battalion commander" and form conditioned reflexes, and at the same time block the "company commander".

At first, Wang Xuexin thought that Li Yunlong had some instructions when he asked him to go there. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the regiment headquarters, he saw Lemonrokov and the translator whom he had met in the morning.

Wang Xuexin was so happy that he was so anxious to get a rocket launcher, he must have been forced to do so!

If you are in a hurry, then our price will not be higher?

When Li Yunlong saw Wang Xuexin coming in, he smiled and said, "The real master is here. This is a skilled thing in the Northeast. If you don't understand anything, just ask!"

Wang Xuexin entered the door and saluted everyone, and then sat down at the table at the gesture of Li Yunlong.

Wang Xuexin noticed that Lemonrokov had prepared his pen and notebook, and seemed to not want to waste any time, which made Wang Xuexin believe that Mao Xiong was anxious to ask for technology.

The tired Staff Officer Ye seemed reluctant to make the deal.

Wang Xuexin guessed that he must have contacted his superiors and knew that the Eighth Route Army had something that the bear needed.

Obviously, if Mao Xiong contacted the Eighth Route Army directly, it might affect its assistance to the stubborn army, and it would be normal that he would not be happy.

But this matter cannot be decided by the stubborn army. After all, the stubborn army has resources in hand, so the stubborn army has to consider the interests of the stubborn army.

Therefore, Staff Ye said with a helpless expression: "Battleman Wang, we want to know some information about the rocket launcher, but I don't know if it's inconvenient for you!"

"Convenient, of course!" Wang Xuexin nodded with a smile. There is no reason to bring customers out when business comes.

Then he started a question and answer, and Chief Ye translated:

"Have you ever participated in actual combat with this kind of bazooka? How effective is it?"

"I haven't participated in the actual combat! The reason is that the Japanese armor is thin, and the old bazooka can meet the needs!"

"So why do you develop this kind of bazooka?"

"Prepare for the future! We can't wait until the Japanese use tanks with thicker armor before developing this rocket launcher!"

"Do you have the supporting tactics to use the bazooka anti-tank?"

"Of course!" Wang Xuexin nodded with certainty: "If you buy, we will truthfully inform the full set of tactics and experience, and there are also relevant data."

"Can you reveal one or two?" Lemonrokov asked.

Wang Xuexin understood the concerns of the Russians. They were worried that they would not be able to play a role in the battlefield in the end, or they would not be able to do so as to what they imagined.

In this way, it will be a small matter if you waste money and supplies, and it will be a big deal if you waste time affecting the entire battle situation.

From this we can see that the Maozi and Eagle Sauce are somewhat different.

Eagle sauce is rich and powerful, and millions of dollars are a drop in the bucket. At the same time, they do not have a sense of urgency in war, so they can take it slowly.

The Russians were not that wealthy. At this time, they all needed the assistance of Yingshang themselves, and they had to be cautious under the pressure of the war.

Therefore, before purchasing this technology, Lemonlokov wanted to determine whether this equipment is suitable for a bear or not. It is really anti-tank.

Wang Xuexin was 120 times in this regard... How could this thing be developed by Mao Xiong based on the "Bazuka" rocket launcher and iron fist based on the habits of the Russians? How could it not be suitable?

Wang Xuexin did not hesitate and immediately replied: "Comrade Lemonrokov, let me say that! The disadvantage of this equipment is that its accuracy is not high, but it does not affect its use. Because it is cheap and can be mass-produced. If the war between it and the tank is compared to a gamble, it is to bet on the enemy with one dollar for ten thousand dollars. If we lose, we lose one dollar and win, we will destroy the enemy with ten thousand dollars."

As he said that, Wang Xuexin raised his head at Lemonrokov and asked, "Major, if it were you, would you be willing to bet?"

(Note: The tank cost at this time was generally around tens of thousands of dollars, and the t34 cost in 1941 was $27,000)

Lemonrokov nodded with satisfaction, and he was even a little surprised because Wang Xuexin's statement was exactly the same as what the general consultant expected.

So, the general consultant said right, this is the equipment they need, which is very suitable for the wars facing the country.
