Chapter 525: Exchange

This arms and equipment deal is coming to an end in a friendly atmosphere between the two sides, and this time, both sides are happy.

As far as the Kuomintang is concerned, the fact that it has bought so many weapons and ammunition at one time has solved the situation of shortage of weapons and ammunition in one fell swoop, and at least for the next six months, there will be no shortage of weapons and ammunition for millions of national troops.

As far as the 36th Group Army is concerned, a large amount of gold has been obtained at once, and the 36th Group Army has become even more abundant in funds, and it has a solid financial foundation for the construction of base areas.

Comrade Fang Zheng next to him, seeing that such a large transaction had been completed, and it was still at a price two percent higher than the market price, suddenly, Fang Zheng's heart was also slightly excited.

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

Zhang Yunfei estimated that the gold reserves of the Nationalist Government were at least several hundred tons, which was nothing to Lao Chiang and the Nationalist Government, but to the 36th Group Army, it was a great wealth.

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

Half an hour later, the two 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 Group Army is undergoing a large-scale expansion, 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 now very short of officers, especially middle and high-level officers.

If Liao Yaoxiang is asked to be a division commander, I don't know if it is feasible? This idea suddenly flashed in Zhang Yunfei's mind.

Midday.

Zhang Yunfei is still in the "Kelaixiang" restaurant. Ordered two large private rooms, warmly entertained Chen Cheng and his party, today, things are basically finalized, everyone's mood is more happy and relaxed, the atmosphere on the wine table is more relaxed and cheerful than yesterday, everyone is more open.

Wine over three rounds of food over five flavors. Taking advantage of Liao Yaoxiang's toast, Zhang Yunfei picked up his wine glass and took a big sip of face. said with a smile: "Jianchu (Liao Yaoxiang alias Jianchu), you are all the elite of the country, graduated from Huangpu." Studying in France again was the time to contribute to the cause of the motherland's anti-Japanese war. ”

After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, a trace of loneliness flashed on Liao Yaoxiang's face, although it was only a flash, Zhang Yunfei still noticed it keenly.

Zhang Yunfei suddenly had a bottom in his heart, and then said to Chen Cheng: "Chief Chen, what do you think of our 36th Group Army?" ”

Now that a few glasses of wine are down, everyone has talked about a lot of topics, and when he heard this, Chen Cheng only pondered a little. He immediately said: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, the 36th Group Army is an anti-Japanese heroic division, an iron army that makes little devils fearful. ”

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

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Chief Chen, for your compliment, although our 36th Group Army has developed well. But we are now seriously lacking excellent commanders like Jian Chu! ”

Hearing this, Liao Yaoxiang was immediately flattered, but he didn't expect Zhang Yunfei to value himself so much, and talked about himself personally.

When Chen Cheng saw Zhang Yunfei say this, he was also thoughtful, and his head flew around. immediately understood what Zhang Yunfei meant, Chen Cheng thought, could it be that Zhang Yunfei wanted to dig into the corner of the wall and fell in love with Liao Yaoxiang.

Thinking about this, Chen Cheng couldn't help but straighten his waist, Liao Yaoxiang's performance in the Kuomintang troops is not very good now, although he graduated from Whampoa and studied in France, but the Kuomintang high-level did not really notice Liao Yaoxiang's military talent.

This time, since Zhang Yunfei wants to, that is, to be a favor, then it is not impossible, transfer Liao Yaoxiang to the 36th Group Army, Chen Cheng can call the shots, just a major general, and he can not alarm Chiang Kai-shek at all. …,

However, as a high-ranking Kuomintang official, it is also Chen Cheng's responsibility to strive for the greatest interests of the Kuomintang, so 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 play, now, the key is to care about Liao Yaoxiang's own attitude, although it is said that obeying orders is the duty of a soldier, Zhang Yunfei still hopes that Liao Yaoxiang willingly joins the 36th Group Army and willingly serves himself.

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

So, Zhang Yunfei said lightly to Chen Cheng: "Sir Chen, I heard that your army does not have a decent armored force, I wonder if Chief Chen is interested in preparing for an armored force?" ”

The national army now has only one tank regiment, only a few dozen tanks, these tanks are still tanks bought from abroad at a high price in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, basically products in the late stage of World War I, and their performance is relatively backward.

But even if it is these dozens of old-fashioned tanks, Lao Jiang treats them as baby bumps and has never been on the battlefield, but, then again, whether such a tank can compete with the little devil's tank on the battlefield is also unknown.

Now, hearing Zhang Yunfei say this, Chen Cheng immediately became a little excited, although the expression on his face was not very obvious, but he already thought about it in his heart.

Could it be that Zhang Yunfei is ready to support us with a little tank? Thinking of the tank, Chen Cheng thought of Liao Yaoxiang again, and Chen Cheng had a hunch that Zhang Yunfei might want to exchange the tank for Liao Yaoxiang.

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

Unexpectedly, this time, Zhang Yunfei was generous and was ready to exchange tanks for Liao Yaoxiang, but I don't know how many tanks there are, if there is a tank battalion, it would be good.

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

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

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

Zhang Yunfei smiled, "Chief Chen, if you don't have armored troops, it will be too much of a loss to fight with the little devils, if there is a tank regiment charging in front, many battles will be much easier to fight." ”

Hearing this, not only Chen Cheng, but also several national army personnel next to him, such as Liao Yaoxiang and Lin Dong, etc., all nodded approvingly, on the battlefield, everyone was bullied by the little devil's Iron King Ba.

Zhang Yunfei continued: "Chief Chen, we have captured dozens of tanks and armored vehicles from the little devils before, and we can give these tanks to you free of charge, and you can form a tank regiment." ”

These tanks were captured when the little devil Kwantung Army tank brigade was annihilated before, and the little devil's tank, Zhang Yunfei has always looked down on it, and has been rusting in the warehouse, and it is a good choice for the national army to use.

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei gave himself the equipment of a tank regiment in one go, which far exceeded Chen Cheng's expectations, Chen Cheng suddenly became excited, immediately stood up, raised his glass and said: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, on behalf of the chairman of the National Committee, on behalf of the millions of soldiers of the national army, thank you!" ”

After speaking, Chen Cheng drained the liquor in his wine glass in one gulp.

Seeing that Chen Cheng was so excited, Zhang Yunfei knew that Chen Cheng had completely completed this level, and if he exchanged a tank regiment for Liao Yaoxiang, both sides would be happy, and the rest would depend on Liao Yaoxiang's own opinion. …,

So, Zhang Yunfei took the initiative to pick up his wine glass and enthusiastically invited: "Jianchu, go to our 36th Group Army in the past two days to take a good look and take a look, I think, there is something you are interested in." ”

Zhang Yunfei's words were more subtle, but Liao Yaoxiang immediately knew what Zhang Yunfei meant, and Liao Yaoxiang couldn't express his position for a while, so he had to look at Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng nodded lightly.

Seeing that Chen Cheng had no opinion, immediately, Liao Yaoxiang became excited, as a soldier, he naturally longed for the 36th Group Army for a long time, and now, seeing Zhang Yunfei personally sending out an invitation, Liao Yaoxiang immediately nodded.

Zhang Yunfei and Liao Yaoxiang clinked their glasses and said enthusiastically: "Jianchu, I welcome you on behalf of the 36th Group Army." ”

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

However, at this time, Liao Yaoxiang's face was flushed, and the excitement in his heart was incomprehensible, a heart that was already restless, immediately became eager, thinking that he could gallop on the battlefield again and go to the battlefield to kill the little devil, Liao Yaoxiang's mood could not be calm for a long time.

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

The matter was done, and dozens of garbage tanks of the little devil were exchanged for an anti-Japanese warrior, Zhang Yunfei felt that he had made a lot of money in this transaction.

After lunch, Chen Cheng and his entourage, under the warm invitation of Zhang Yunfei, went to Datong City to have a look, and also visited a station of the guard division.

Seeing that the guard division was well-equipped and neatly organized, not only Chen Cheng, but also these entourages of the national army, all sighed from their hearts! It was an eye-opener to see such troops.

Chen Cheng stayed in Datong for two days and two nights, and finally Chen Cheng took his own plane from Datong Airport and began to return under the escort of a Mustang squadron and 24 fighters.
