Chapter 525 Exchange

This weapon and equipment transaction is coming to an end in a friendly atmosphere between both sides. This time, both sides are very happy.

For the Kuomintang, buying so many weapons and ammunition at one time solved the shortage of weapons and ammunition in one fell swoop. At least in the next six months, there will be no shortage of weapons and ammunition in several millions of dollars.

For the 36th Army, a large amount of gold was obtained at once, and the 36th Army's funds were even more abundant. The construction of the base area had a strong financial foundation.

Comrade Fang Zheng next to him, seeing that he had completed such a large transaction and was still at a price of 20% higher than the market price, Fang Zheng suddenly became slightly excited.

The total value of this transaction is more than fifty tons of gold.

Zhang Yunfei estimated that the National Government's gold reserves were at least several hundred tons. These gold was nothing to Chiang Kai-shek and the National Government, but it was a great fortune for the 36th Army.

Fifty tons of gold! It’s exciting to think about it.

Half a small time later, both sides finalized some details and then successfully concluded this happy negotiation. Zhang Yunfei looked at Liao Yaoxiang's back and couldn't help but feel moved.

At present, the 36th Army is undergoing a large-scale expansion of its army, and the number of infantry divisions in each column will be expanded from the previous two to three, which makes Zhang Yunfei feel that he is very short of officers now, especially middle and senior officers.

If Liao Yaoxiang is asked to work as a commander, I wonder if it is feasible? This idea suddenly flashed through Zhang Yunfei's mind.

******************

noon.

Zhang Yunfei was still in the "Kelaixiang" restaurant. He booked two private rooms and warmly welcomed Chen Cheng and his party. Today, the matter was basically finalized, and everyone was in a happy and relaxed mood. The atmosphere at the table was more relaxed and cheerful than yesterday, and everyone was more open.

After three rounds of wine, the dishes and five flavors were served. While Liao Yaoxiang was toasting, Zhang Yunfei picked up his wine glass and drank a big sip of face. He smiled and said, "Jianchu (Liu Yaoxiang's nickname is Jianchu), you are all elites of the country, graduated from Huangpu and studied in France. It was the time to contribute to the cause of the motherland's war of resistance."

After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, a look of loneliness flashed across Liao Yaoxiang's face. Although it only flashed by, Zhang Yunfei still noticed it keenly.

Zhang Yunfei suddenly felt a clear mind, and then said to Chen Cheng: "Captain Chen, what do you think of our 36th Army?"

Now that a few glasses of wine have passed, many topics have started. After hearing this, Chen Cheng just pondered for a moment. He immediately said: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, the 36th Army is a powerful anti-Japanese army, which makes a Japanese terrified."

Chen Cheng was not stingy and was full of praise for the 36th Army.

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Chief Chen for your praise. Although our 36th Army has developed well, we now have severely lack of excellent commanders like Jianchu!"

Upon hearing this, Liao Yaoxiang was immediately flattered. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunfei valued him so much and talked about him in person.

When Chen Cheng saw Zhang Yunfei say this, he was thinking and his head flew around. He immediately understood what Zhang Yunfei meant. Chen Cheng thought, did Zhang Yunfei want to poach and fall in love with Liao Yaoxiang?

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng couldn't help but stand up. Liao Yaoxiang's performance in the Kuomintang troops is not very outstanding now. Although he graduated from Huangpu and studied in France, the top leaders of the Kuomintang did not really pay attention to Liao Yaoxiang's military talents.

This time, since Zhang Yunfei wants to do it, it’s okay to be a favor. Chen Cheng can make the decision by transferring Liao Yaoxiang to the 36th Army, just a major general, and he can never disturb Chiang Kai-shek.

However, as a senior Kuomintang official, it is Chen Cheng's responsibility to fight for the greatest interests of the Kuomintang. Therefore, although he already knew what Zhang Yunfei meant, Chen Cheng did not answer immediately.

Zhang Yunfei looked at Chen Cheng's expression and felt that there was a chance. Now, the key is to care about Liao Yaoxiang's own attitude. Although obeying orders is the duty of a soldier, Zhang Yunfei still hopes that Liao Yaoxiang will willingly join the 36th Army and willingly serve him.

Since this is the case, it is enough to deal with Chen Cheng and then send an invitation to Liao Yaoxiang himself. Through the observation just now, Zhang Yunfei felt that it is very likely that Liao Yaoxiang would want to join the 36th Army.

So, Zhang Yunfei said to Chen Cheng lightly: "Sir Chen, I heard that the army does not have a decent armored force yet. I wonder if Chief Chen is interested in building an armored force?"

**There is only one tank regiment, only a few dozen tanks. These tanks were still tanks bought from abroad at the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan. They were basically products from the late stage of World War I, and their performance was relatively backward.

But even these dozens of old tanks were considered treasures and had never been on the battlefield. However, if you say that, it is still unknown whether such tanks can compete with the Japanese tanks on the battlefield.

Now, after hearing Zhang Yunfei say this, Chen Cheng immediately became a little excited. Although his face was not very obvious, he was already thinking about it.

Is Zhang Yunfei ready to support us some tanks? Thinking of the tanks, Chen Cheng thought of Liao Yaoxiang again, Chen Cheng had a premonition that Zhang Yunfei might want to exchange tanks for Liao Yaoxiang.

Originally, Chen Cheng felt that as long as Zhang Yunfei gave him some more guns and ammunition, even if there were one or two battalions of equipment, Chen Cheng would make the decision and transfer Liao Yaoxiang to the 36th Army.

Unexpectedly, this time, Zhang Yunfei made a big deal and was planning to exchange tanks for Liao Yaoxiang. But I don’t know how many tanks it was. If there was a tank battalion, that would be great.

But soon, Chen Cheng waved this idea from his mind. At present, there is only one tank regiment in the whole **, and Zhang Yunfei can't give himself a tank in the tank battalion at once. Liao Yaoxiang is just a major general. I don't know how many major general-level officers are in the ***, and they catch a lot of them.

Zhang Yunfei looked at Chen Cheng a little confused. Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but smile and coughed twice.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei coughing, Chen Cheng immediately came to his senses and smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Yunfei smiled, "Captain Chen, if there is no armored force, it will be a disadvantage to fight with the Japanese. If a tank regiment charges in front, many battles will be much easier."

Upon hearing this, not only Chen Cheng, but also the several ** personnel next to him, such as Liao Yaoxiang and Lin Dong, nodded with conscientiousness. On the battlefield, everyone was bullied by the Japanese Iron Tortoise.

Zhang Yunfei continued: "Captain Chen, we have seized dozens of tank and armored vehicles from the Japanese before. We can give these tanks to you for free. You can form a tank regiment."

These tanks were seized when annihilated the Kwantung Army chariot brigade of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Zhang Yunfei always looked down on the Japanese tanks and kept rusting in the warehouse. It was a good choice for him to use.

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei gave himself a tank regiment's equipment in one breath, which was far beyond Chen Cheng's expectations, Chen Cheng was immediately excited, stood up immediately, raised his glass and said, "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, on behalf of the Chairman, I would like to thank you for the millions of soldiers on behalf of **!"

After saying that, Chen Cheng killed his glass of white wine in one sip.

Seeing Chen Cheng so excited, Zhang Yunfei knew that Chen Cheng had completely completed this level. For a tank regiment to exchange for Liao Yaoxiang, both sides were happy. The rest was the only way to look at Liao Yaoxiang’s own opinions.

So, Zhang Yunfei took the initiative to pick up his wine glass and warmly sent out an invitation: "Jianchu, we have made a good move in the past two days. Let's take a look. I think there are things you are interested in."

Zhang Yunfei's words were quite implicit, but Liao Yaoxiang immediately knew what Zhang Yunfei meant. Liao Yaoxiang was not good at expressing his opinion for a while, so he had to look at Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng tapped gently.

Seeing that Chen Cheng had no objection, Liao Yaoxiang immediately became excited. As a soldier, he naturally longed for the 36th Army. Now, seeing Zhang Yunfei personally sending an invitation, Liao Yaoxiang immediately nodded.

Zhang Yunfei and Liao Yaoxiang clashed with a cup and said enthusiastically: "Jianchu, on behalf of the 36th Army, I welcome you."

"Thank you!" Liao Yaoxiang was so excited that he said two words briefly, just a thank you.

However, at this time, Liao Yaoxiang's face was flushed and her heart was extremely excited. A heart that was already restless immediately became eager. Thinking about the fact that she could immediately gallop on the battlefield and go to the battlefield to kill the Japanese devils, Liao Yaoxiang's mood could not calm down for a long time.

When Zhang Yunfei saw Liao Yaoxiang's attitude, he was also full of joy and added another powerful general.

After the matter was settled, he exchanged dozens of garbage tanks from the Japanese for an anti-Japanese war. Zhang Yunfei felt that his business was making a big profit.

After lunch, Chen Cheng and his party, under Zhang Yunfei's warm invitation, went to Datong City to take a look and visited a base of the Guard Division.

Seeing that the guard division was well-equipped and intact, not only Chen Cheng, but also the entourages of **, all sighed from the bottom of their hearts! Seeing such a unit was really eye-opening.

Chen Cheng stayed in Datong for two days and two nights. Finally, Chen Cheng took his own plane from Datong Airport and started returning under the escort of a Mustang squadron and 24 fighter planes.
