"40%!" Li Chenglong said, "This is the bottom line!"

"One percent!" Zhong Yi said, "No more!"

"Thirty percent!" Li Chenglong said, "Otherwise, our military command would not take the blame!"

"Twenty percent!" Zhong Yi gritted his teeth, "It's only 20 percent, there's no more!"

"Okay, 20% will be 20%!" Li Chenglong said, "Brother Ziren, I really didn't see it before. You are a stingy person. You can't give me too much of this benefit. I'm useless to treat you as a good brother!"

Zhong Yi said: "Brothers are brothers, and business is business, so it's better to make it clear."

While speaking, the gunshots in Xu Mansion ahead had already subsided.

After a while, the action captain Meng Jiayou ran over excitedly.

"Webmaster!" Meng Jiayou said, "Catch Xu Yuanquan!"

Li Chenglong nodded and said, "No one is sacrificed, right?"

"No." Meng's family said, "The only two brothers have been crowned."

"Okay." Li Chenglong said, then stood up and said to Zhong Yi, "Brother, the next question is Xu Yuanquan, and he squeezed out all the money and cream he had accumulated over the years. Do you want to participate?"

"How can I have this time?" Zhong Yi said, "I asked, and I sent 90% of it to the garrison headquarters. In addition, it is best to be hard currency such as US dollars, pounds and gold."

Li Chenglong smiled and said, "Brother, aren't you afraid of me doing things?"

Zhong Yi turned around and glanced at Li Chenglong, turned around and left.

Watching Zhong Yi's figure go away, the smile on Li Chenglong's face slowly disappeared, and told the Meng family to say, "Go and bring me Xu Yuanquan. If you are useless like him, there must be a bamboo tube pouring beans under the three woods."

"Yes!" Meng's family responded and turned around to take people.

...

Let’s talk about Zhong Yi, leaving Jianghan Academy and heading straight for the wharf.

When we arrived at the pier, we boarded the river ship again, crossed the Yangtze River to Hankou, and then headed straight for the US Embassy in Wuhan.

When he heard that Zhong Yi was visiting, Jansen and Stilwell immediately welcomed the embassy gate in person, and then welcomed Zhong Yi into the living room with great enthusiasm.

"General Zhong, I finally saw you real person!" said Jansen.

Stilwell also said with emotion: "General Zhong is so young and promising."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yi said in surprise: "Ambassin Jansen and Colonel Stilwell know me?"

"Of course." Stilwell said, "When your 367th Regiment guards the Xinjiekou of Nanjing, we both stay in front of the radio and listen to the sound of Nanjing every day."

This surprised Zhong Yi.

Unexpectedly, I am still my own fan?

"Shame." Zhong Yi said, "Nanjing was still unable to defend it in the end."

"That's not your fault," Stilwell said hurriedly, "and it is wise to retreat and preserve the vitality."

While speaking, the waiter had already brought three cups of coffee. Jansen said, "General Zhong, please have coffee. This is the coffee I brought back from the United States."

"Thank you." Zhong Yi took the coffee and turned his head politely.

After taking a sip of coffee, Zhong Yi didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the topic: "Ambassador Jensen, Colonel Stilwell, this time I came to the door to ask you to do a favor."

Jansen said: "Please tell me, as long as we can do it, we will definitely help."

Zhong Yi said: "The battle to defend Wuhan is imminent, but our Wuhan Garrison Command does not even have a decent howitzer, let alone a large-caliber fortress cannon!"

Jansen and Stilwell looked at each other and asked, "Do you want to buy cannons from the United States?"

"If possible, that's the best!" Zhong Yi also knew that the United States was trapped in isolationism at this time, and said now, "If it is inconvenient, can we help us contact the British or Belgian arms dealers? As long as it is a good performance howitzer or large-caliber fortress cannon."

Jansen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is absolutely no problem. As long as the money is in place, no matter how big the caliber can be purchased from the international market."

After a pause, Jansen said again: "I happen to know a few arms dealers, and I can come forward to order for you now."

"Really, this is really great!" Zhong Yi was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he knew that Jensen and Stilwell were representatives of pro-China, he still did not expect the two to be so friendly. In fact, this is normal. The reason why Jensen and Stilwell were pro-China is not because they really like Chinese people, but because they were just wary of the Japanese.

At that moment, Zhong Yi said: "I hope to order at least 12 Krupp Fortress Cannons above 200mm caliber and at least 24 155mm caliber grenades! As for shells, at least 12,000 fortress shells above 200mm caliber grenades, and at least 120,000 fortress cannons above 200mm caliber grenades, and at least 120,000 fortress cannons above 155mm caliber grenades! Even more!"

"Oh, the cake seller!" said Jansen, "You need so many shells?"

Stilwell also said: "General Zhong, you may not be able to use so many shells."

"Okay, okay." Jansen said, "Then, the fortress cannon will be chosen from Germany's Krupp 280mm fortress cannon. Germany is an ally of Japan and may not be willing to sell it, but we can still buy it from Belgium. As for the large-caliber howitzer you want, choose the M1918 155mm caliber howitzer."

After a pause, Jansen continued: "But General Zhong, the transaction must be a cash transaction, and it cannot be used in fiat currency, it must be US dollars, pounds or gold directly."

"This is no problem." Zhong Yi said, "but Ambassador Jansen, in terms of price..."

"Don't worry about this," said Jansen. "I know your Chinese government is in trouble, so the price must be the lowest price, friendly price! In this way, please go back and wait for the news first. I will contact the Belgian arms dealer in Shanghai as soon as possible, and if there is any news, I will immediately notify you."

After a pause, Jansen continued: "But you'd better prepare the money first. The specific number is not clear, but I estimate that it will cost at least six million dollars to buy the arms you need!"

Zhong Yi has read the historical materials of World War II and is familiar with the arms prices in this era. The number mentioned by Jensen is not much different from the number he expected. This shows that Zhan Zhong did not intend to do anything to gain benefits from it.

Jansen said again: "General Zhan, my arms dealer friends not only supply various types of cannons, but also various types of firearms, rifles, machine guns, and submachine guns. Don't you plan to buy a batch?"

Zhong Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this. Of course he wanted to buy it, but the problem was that he was short of money!

But this batch of arms will probably run out of funds obtained from cracking down on pornography, gambling, drugs and smuggling.

In the case of insufficient funds, you can only use good steel on the blade and give priority to purchasing cannons!
