Chapter 192 Selling Weapons

Since everyone is so interested in investing, Zhang Yunfei decided to satisfy everyone's interest. Not only will he build a second batch of civilian factories in the industrial park, but he will also reclaim a large amount of wasteland to plant wheat, corn, potatoes, cotton, etc., which greatly enriches the agricultural product market in the base area so that everyone can have a full meal.

Now there is war, and the prices of grain are soaring. A hundred kilograms of wheat cost several yuan. At present, my 200,000 troops have to purchase a large amount of grain every month, which costs a lot of oceans. If the money from purchasing grain can be saved, it will be a considerable amount in that year.

So, Zhang Yunfei patiently told the three of them about the scene and significance of investing in agriculture. The three of them looked eager and eager to immediately take out a lot of oceans and hand them over to Zhang Yunfei to invest in what Zhang Yunfei said, the agricultural company that was about to be established.

After eating for more than an hour, the guests and guests were happy. With the compliments and eager eyes of the three of them, Zhang Yunfei left the restaurant and returned to his command center. As soon as he entered the command center, Zhang Yunfei saw Comrade Zuo Qingquan, holding a list, watching carefully, and smiling on his face. He seemed to be in a very good mood.

Zuo Qingquan, who was looking at the list, saw Zhang Yunfei coming in, immediately stood up and said happily: "Commander-in-Chief, we have seized a lot of weapons from the little ghosts. Look at this list just now. There are more than 10,000 rifles alone. A lot of weapons and equipment have been found in the warehouse of the little ghosts in Jining."

Zhang Yunfei took the list and looked carefully. This time, the First Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Annihilated this time, more than 12,000 Type 38 rifles were seized, and more than 100 crooked machine guns were used. The Type 92 heavy machine guns were relatively few, only 36. Perhaps it was the Japanese cavalry brigade, and there were very few heavy machine guns equipped.

There were 1.5 million bullets of various types, and there were 24 Type 92 infantry artillery and nearly 1,000 shells. These infantry artillery and shells were found in the warehouse of the Jining Japanese. The cannons were still very new. It may be that the Japanese rarely used them and retreated in a hurry, so they did not have time to destroy or take them away.

At the end of the list, it was also written that tens of thousands of cavalry sabers, more than 200 turtle box pistols, more than 5,000 Eastern war horses, and more than 10,000 war horses from the Japanese cavalry brigade were killed, leaving only these more than 5,000 war horses. These war horses can be just enough to be given to the cavalry division, and the cavalry division can also expand thousands more.

Although there were many weapons seized, Zhang Yunfei was still relatively calm. He had seized tens of thousands of Japanese weapons and equipment before, but this time it was only a drizzle. However, the Chief of General Staff Zuo Qingquan couldn't calm down. When he was the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, he had never seized so many weapons and equipment at once. It would be very good to seize one or two thousand Japanese weapons and equipment at a time.

So when Zuo Qingquan, the Chief of Staff who saw the list, was very happy and a little excited. After a long time, he calmed down his excitement and said to Zhang Yunfei with joy: "Commander-in-Chief, how do we deal with so many weapons and equipment? Should we ask the Central Committee for instructions?"

Zhang Yunfei knew that it would not work without asking the Central Committee. It would be impossible to conceal so much equipment to seize. Fortunately, most of the equipment he seized was given to the Central Committee or the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. In the minds of the main leaders of the Central Committee, he had a very good impression. This time, not only did he have to report the seized weapons and equipment truthfully, but he also had to report to the Central Committee, leaving half of the weapons and dealing with them by the 36th Army.

So, Zhang Yunfei said: "We have seized so many weapons and equipment, and we must report them to the Central Committee truthfully, but at the same time, we also recommend that the Central Committee only hand in half of the weapons and equipment, and we will handle the other half of the weapons and equipment ourselves."

Chief of Staff Zuo immediately said: "I think this method is OK. We will leave half of the weapons left, and we will dominate it. The central government will definitely have no objection. When I was in the 18th Army, all the weapons we seized were handled by ourselves. The weapons seized by the New Fourth Army were also handled by ourselves. As long as we report them to the Central Committee for filing, it will be done."

After hearing what the Chief of Staff left said, Zhang Yunfei was relieved and immediately decided: "Then send a report to the Central Committee immediately to report our seizure situation, and at the same time, hand over half of the weapons to the Central Committee, which can be regarded as our support for the brothers."

"Okay, I will immediately order the correspondent to send a report, but, Commander-in-Chief, we don't need these Japanese weapons left behind for the time being, and it's too wasteful to put them in the warehouse." Chief of Staff Zuo said regretfully.

Zhang Yunfei smiled mysteriously, "My Chief of Staff, how can these weapons be wasted? Our base is now carrying out construction and the funds are relatively tight. I am going to sell these weapons in exchange for the funds we need."

When Zuo Qingquan heard that Zhang Yunfei was about to sell weapons, he was shocked and said in surprise: "Commander-in-Chief, this is not good!"

Zhang Yunfei was a little surprised when he saw Zuo Qingquan, so he explained: "The current anti-Japanese forces include not only our Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, our 36th Army, the Kuomintang Central Army, the Jinsui Army, etc. Everyone is our national defense force. I plan to sell these weapons to Yan Laoxi, and they can also play their role in the hands of the Jinsui Army. At the Taiyuan Battle at the end of last year, the Jinsui Army destroyed a lot of Japanese devils on the Zhengtai Road."

"However, the Jinsui Army is an army led by the Kuomintang, and we are troops led by the **. We have different political views. I am afraid that one day we will meet each other." Zuo Qingquan said worriedly.

Zhang Yunfei said lightly: "I have long been very indifferent to political struggles. Now I just want to fight against Japan. In my eyes, as long as I am determined to fight the Japanese, I am our friends. Anyone who is a traitor who sells the country and seeks honor is my enemy. As for whether we will fight in the future, we don't know, but I will work hard to not let the Chinese kill each other and avoid civil war."

After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, his eyes were firm and his face was firm.

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's words, Chief of Staff Zuo thought for a long time, and then said: "I hope so, the two parties will not have civil war. As a ** person, we don't want to see the Chinese kill each other."

When Zhang Yunfei saw Chief of Staff Zuo say this, he felt a little relieved, knowing that most people do not want civil war. However, it is too early to talk about this topic now. The most urgent thing is to drive the Japanese out of China as soon as possible. Zhang Yunfei was unwilling to have a deep conversation on this topic, so he said to Chief of Staff Zuo: "Comrade Qingquan, then send a newspaper to Yan'an as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I'll order the correspondent to send a report right away." Chief of Staff left quickly walked out of the office and walked towards the confidential room.

The next morning, the weather was clear, the sky was blue, and the visibility was very high, with only a few white clouds floating in the sky. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yunfei, dressed in military uniform, appeared at Datong Airport with a few mighty special forces. This time, Zhang Yunfei was about to take the plane to Taiyuan, then drive to Yan Xishan's official residence, visit Yan Laoxi in person, and sell some arms and exchange for some oceans.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhang Yunfei sent a telegram to Yan Xishan saying that he wanted to visit his brother. Yan Xishan, who received the telegram, was enthusiastic between the lines, and welcomed Zhang Yunfei and said that he would sweep the bed and wait.

As for selling weapons and equipment, Zhang Yunfei did not mention it in the telegram. Zhang Yunfei still felt that it would take a face-to-face to explain it clearly. It would not be too late to talk to Yan Xishan himself. Zhang Yunfei was not worried that Yan Laoxi would buy his own weapons. Now Yan Laoxi no longer has an arsenal, and the bullets consumed every month were bought from his own hands. Yan Xishan would definitely buy this batch of weapons.

Before Zhang Yunfei set off, he convened a brief meeting with the senior management of the 36th Group. Everyone agreed to sell the arms to Yan Xishan. Seeing that everyone agreed to agree, Zhang Yunfei felt relieved and prepared to take the plane to Taiyuan the next morning.

Gao Zhihang, who was greeting at the airport gate, saw the majestic Zhang Yunfei walking towards this side surrounded by several special forces. Gao Zhihang quickly walked forward, respectfully held Zhang Yunfei's hands, and said enthusiastically: "Hello, Chief, welcome to Datong Airport. The transport plane you explained is ready and can take off at any time."

"Okay, then let's board the plane." Zhang Yunfei said happily.

Gao Zhihang immediately took Zhang Yunfei and his party to the transport plane on the runway. Zhang Yunfei saw the transport plane parked on the runway and was itchy for a moment, so he said to Gao Zhihang Road next to him: "Zhihang, how about you be my co-pilot this time?"

"Commander-in-Chief, you mean you want to fly the plane yourself. This is not possible. If something happens, I can't afford it." Gao Zhihang was a little surprised at first, and then hurriedly persuaded Zhang Yunfei.

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, opened the cabin door and sat in the cab. Gao Zhihang had no choice but to enter the cab and act as the co-pilot for Zhang Yunfei. When Gao Zhihang was about to tell Zhang Yunfei how to operate the plane, he found that Zhang Yunfei had already operated and seemed to be very skillful in his movements.

Gao Zhihang was a little surprised. Seeing that Zhang Yunfei's skill was not as good as himself, he looked a little impressed and said in admiration: "Commander-in-Chief, I didn't expect that you could even drive the plane, and you were so skillful in operating. It really made Zhihang admire him."

Zhang Yunfei had driven Japanese aircraft several times before, and in his previous life, he was the most outstanding special forces soldier in China, and his flight training was no less than ordinary pilots. He could fly complex aircraft in later life easily. Not to mention that such aircraft with very simple structures and equipment, Zhang Yunfei was naturally a piece of cake to drive.

In Gao Zhihang's admiring gaze, Zhang Yunfei drove the transport plane, slowly accelerated, and after gliding for hundreds of meters, he left the runway and flew into the blue sky, and flew towards Taiyuan.
