Chapter 902 Arsenal
Winchester Jr. said again: "Where is the ammunition reserve? What are the standards?"
Zhong Yi said: "In the case of ammunition reserves, in this way, machine gun bullets are 35 million, submachine gun bullets are 15 million, m1 rifle bullets are 9 million, 60 mortar shells are 50,000 plus 81 mortar shells are 5,000."
"Okai." Winchester Jr. took the notes and then quickly calculated the results, "The total price is $2.05 million!"
Zhong Yi's eyes went dark. It was really a cannon, and it was a thousand taels of gold. The price of this ammunition was even more expensive than weapons!
The weapons and equipment of the three American weapons were only $1.65 million, but the ammunition reserves of only two medium-intensity battles cost $2.05 million!
If this is a high-intensity battle like the Battle of Songhu, wouldn’t it consume tens of millions of dollars of ammunition?
So it is no wonder that at the end of 1938, after the end of the Wuhan Battle, Japan stopped its frontal attack.
So, a rich war is really impossible to fight. At that moment, Zhong Yi sighed again and said helplessly: "Can the ammunition reserve be reduced by half according to this standard."
"It's OK," said Little Winchester cheerfully, "even if it's $1 million."
After a pause, Winchester continued: "The total price of ammunition reserves and weapons and equipment is US$2.65 million, but Mr. Zhong, you should also know that the United States does not allow the export of weapons and ammunition to China, so it has to find a middleman, which will generate a commission, so the final cost should be US$2.7 million."
"Okai." Zhong Yi nodded, "Then let's just $2.7 million."
"Okay." Little Winches nodded and said, "Mr. Zhong, are you really not considering buying other weapons? For example, the Sherman tank? The technical performance is pretty good."
"No." Zhong Yi waved his hand, "I really don't need this."
"Okay." Little Winchester said with some disappointment, "Okay, then forget it."
Looking at Little Winchester with a disappointed face, Zhong Yi suddenly felt a little moved and said, "Mr. Winchester, if you really don't want to pay the remaining patent transfer fee, there is actually a compromise."
"Is that?" Little Winchester asked inexplicably, "What's the solution?"
"Help us build a small arsenal!" Zhong Yi said, "it's built in Yinjiang!"
"Oh Tfak?" Little Winchester couldn't help but swear, "Help you build a small arsenal in Yinjiang? Arsenal?"
No wonder Winchester was furious. The funds needed to build an arsenal were astronomical. Even a small arsenal would cost at least tens of millions of yuan!
Zhong Yi was not angry and said with a smile: "Mr. Winchester, don't worry. The small arsenal I mentioned does not require the production of cannons or tanks, or even firearms. It is enough to produce bullets and shells, but the technical workers still have to send a few."
The anger on Little Winchester's face disappeared in an instant.
If you only produce bullets and shells, the machinery and equipment required will be much smaller and the investment will be much smaller.
The most important thing is that their Winchester arms manufacturing company has a bullet workshop that needs to be upgraded, which can transport the eliminated equipment to Yinjiang.
This will save another cost.
At that moment, Winchester said, "Okay, that's it."
After a pause, Winchester said again: "However, this matter must be kept highly confidential. You must not reveal any slightest remarks before the machinery and equipment is transported to Yinjiang! Otherwise, the Japanese will definitely put pressure on the US government, and our Winchester arms manufacturing company will also be severely punished!"
"Don't worry!" Zhong Yi nodded, "It must be kept confidential."
Commod also raised his hand and swore, "I swear in the name of God."
"Okai." Little Winchester was in a good mood and said happily, "Mr. Zhong, then, can we sign a cooperation agreement next?"
"Of course." Zhong Yi agreed happily.
Immediately afterwards, Commod drafted a two-fold cooperation agreement.
After a while, after signing the cooperation agreement, Zhong Yi and Little Winchester shook hands again.
Little Winchester seemed very happy because he only used a weapon ammunition worth only $700,000, plus a batch of eliminated mechanical equipment to exchange three valuable weapon patents from Zhong Yi. There is no doubt that these three weapon patents will inevitably create huge profits for their Winchester company.
Zhong Yi was also very happy because he exchanged the full set of weapons and equipment of three American Armored Masters with only three concept maps, two medium-intensity battle ammunition reserves, and a small arsenal!
Knowledge is power, and what you say is really reasonable! Unfortunately, there is no more knowledge to sell.
At that moment, Zhong Yi said again: "Mr. Winchester, I wish you a prosperous business and a prosperous source of wealth."
"Thank you." Little Winchester said happily, "I also wish Mr. Zhong a victory and defeated the Japanese."
Commod even proposed: "Two, you have reached a win-win business. Isn't it worth celebrating well? I'm just letting someone open champagne! How about it?"
Zhong Yi and Winchester Jr. readily agreed.
...
That night, Little Winchester left Yinjiang on the Mid-range ship.
The business has been negotiated and the purpose of coming to Yinjiang has been fully achieved. Little Winchester immediately returned home. He couldn't wait to return to the United States, first apply for patents for rocket launchers, anti-infantry directional thunder and reaction armor, and then use the patent to make a plan, and then start lobbying investors.
But Little Winchester has reason to believe that this time will be extremely relaxed.
Because of the value of the bazooka, anti-infantry directional thunder, and reaction armor, it can be seen by blind people.
Zhong Yi and Commod also rushed to China Merchants Dock to see off Little Winchester. It was not until the American Navy's destroyer disappeared into the distance that they turned around and went back to their respective homes.
That night, Zhong Yi had a beautiful dream.
In the dream, Zhong Yi discovered that Yinjiang had become a super-class city with a population of more than 4 million. Yinjiang's industrial park had also been built, and tens of thousands of enterprises had settled in, which led to the prosperity of Yinjiang's real estate industry. Yinjiang Municipal Government successfully formed the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps and the Zhejiang Province Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps just by selling land.
As the picture changed, the Japanese dispatched the army and navy to invade. Zhong Yi led three divisions of the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps and more than 60 regiments of the Zhejiang Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps to launch a counterattack on the Japanese army.
In one battle, the two invading Japanese divisions were wiped out.
