Chapter 454: Fengsheng's troubles

Feng Sheng'a, who wears military uniforms but does not need to lead soldiers, has always been the most carefree person in the military circles of North Manchuria, and his status is even higher than that of Guoxing'a. Whether it is Bi Yuntao, who likes to show his qualifications, or Bo Ritu, who likes to count credits, or even Tan Shaoguang, who is afraid of Guoxinga, they all have to be polite to Fengsheng. The reason is simple, Fengsheng A is not only in charge of the development and manufacturing of weapons, but also in charge of distribution. Whoever dares to offend him will immediately let you change your clothes three years late.

But Fengsheng, who has been going well, has also been in trouble recently, and it is not that there is trouble in the army that he can't think of, but a lawsuit between two businessmen. Manchurian arms are now sold all over the world, but in addition to state-run sales, the main sales system has not changed, and it is still dominated by two major arms dealers, Peter and Ma San. The distribution scope of the two monopoly vendors was determined by Guo Xing'a according to his personal feelings, and it was inevitable that there would be some trouble.

According to the division of Goxinga, Europe and North America belonged to Peter, the Chinese market belonged to Ma San, and some small countries in Asia and the private market in Manchuria were operated by some small traders trained by Manchuria itself. This routine has been implemented for several years without much problem, but after Ma San's joint non-staple food business opened into South America, the problem came out.

Although the United Non-staple Food Commercial Bank is mainly engaged in the non-staple food business, Ma San is from an arms background after all, so of course he wants to bring his old business with him. Big Peter was playing Tai Chi back and forth between the north and south of the United States, and naturally Ma San was the first to get the moon in Central and South America. At first, Big Peter didn't care too much, the big cake of the United States was enough for him to eat, and he didn't care about the little mosquito legs. But as soon as the market in Central and South America opened, Big Peter quit, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and other countries had too much demand, and Ma San's order volume surpassed him in an instant. The unwilling Big Peter immediately beat some good people and slaughtered Central and South America in a hurry, but Ma San had already laid a good foundation, and of course Big Peter who realized it later couldn't get anything. Seeing Ma San's windfall, Big Peter was jealous, and immediately appealed to Feng Sheng'a, who is currently in charge of arms, Guo Xing's original promise, Europe and the United States were his territory, and Ma San's invasion of South America was obviously a cross-border behavior.

Fengsheng Ake, who received the complaint, was embarrassed, because this matter was not clear at all, and Guoxing's original promise was too general and did not make a clear distinction at all. In Goshinga's understanding, the so-called whole world, that is, East Asia, Europe, and North America, and other places are at most equal to the origin of raw materials, which is meaningless at all. Therefore, when he divided the arms business area, he divided it according to East Asia, Europe and the United States, and Central and South America, which is now causing conflict, is similar to Africa in the eyes of Goxinga. But in fact, South America is full of powerful countries, many of which far surpass their European overlords before them, and these countries are also in the period of replacement of front-loading guns, and the demand for arms is very huge.

Feng Sheng'a is Chinese, Ma San is also Chinese, but Big Peter is Italian, so Feng Sheng'a will inevitably be a little biased towards Ma San. The handling of disputes has become non-handling. Feng Shenga ruled that Central and South America were previously undivided, and Ma San and Big Peter could compete freely there. If Big Peter wins Ma San in free competition, he will not complain, so he is not satisfied with Feng Sheng's ruling. Big Peter originally thought that as long as he appealed, even if Fengshenga didn't give him the entire Central and South American market, he would at least have to make peace and give him a few countries. I didn't want to appeal once, but I didn't even get a single hair, which is really unbearable.

Ma San occupied Central and South America, and Big Peter thought that Ma San had robbed him of his business, and this revenge could not be avenged. Mixed-race children in Central and South America recognize the yellow race, and there are a large number of people in China who recognize the white race, and Big Peter sold a batch of arms replaced by the United States to the Qing court, which can be regarded as an invasion of his market by Ma San. Although Ma San is in South America, he has a lot of younger brothers in the Guannei, and Feng Zicai's army was suddenly replaced with a batch of American-style arms, and Ma San didn't know it for long. Thinking with his heels, Ma San also knew who did this, and he thought that he had opened up the blank market in South America, but he couldn't suffer this dumb loss. It just so happened that some non-governmental organizations in the United States had a need, and Ma San immediately sent a large number of civilian arms to the United States.

Although he didn't know where Ma San got the batch of civilian munitions, there was a witness who could prove that Ma San was sending arms to the United States. Therefore, after collecting the testimony of witnesses, Big Peter found Feng Sheng'a confidently and asked Feng Sheng'a to severely punish Ma San to give him justice, and it was best to allocate the arms market in Central and South America to himself as compensation.

However, this time Fengsheng Abi was even more ruthless than last time, and he didn't even let Ma San explain, and directly ruled that Big Peter's complaint was invalid, and the reasons given were also unacceptable to Big Peter. First, Feng Sheng'a argued that Peter's act of selling arms to the Qing court was illegal, even if the arms were not produced in Manchuria, because there was an exclusive arms supply agreement between Manchuria and the imperial court, it was regarded as a violation of the law. Second, Ma San sent arms to the United States, but these arms were civilian arms and there was no illegal cross-border behavior.

Big Peter can only not make any comments on Feng Sheng's conclusion, because Feng Sheng'a is complete nonsense. Ma San's big revolver and lever rifle in the United States are indeed civilian firearms in North Manchuria, but if they are definitely military firearms in the United States, and they are very advanced military firearms, if Fengsheng's double standard can fool the past, then there is one thing that cannot be explained by this standard. Ma San not only sold guns and ammunition to the United States, but he also got dozens of artillery pieces, and they were more advanced Jinxi guns than the Armstrong guns that Big Peter was authorized to sell. There are civilian firearms, but there are no civilian artillery! Ma San sold all the guns, but Feng Sheng'a also said that it was civilian equipment, which was not a little favoritism.

Fengsheng's favoritism towards Ma San, in addition to the fact that Ma San has the same hair and skin color as him, there are two important reasons. First, Ma San is not just an arms dealer like Big Peter, and he also undertook a certain secret mission for the North Manchurian government, and the second is that the middleman of Ma San's arms resale this time is very important. Ma San sold arms to the United States, but this deal was not found by Ma San himself, but was introduced by someone, and this middleman was Mu Shun, an old acquaintance of Feng Sheng'a.
