Chapter 17 Huge profits from arms!
"It's really good." While walking on the road, Cun Yunsheng was still savoring the meal he had just had. The authentic Sichuan flavor left him with an endless aftertaste.
He and the four guards finished the whole pot of rice.
"Be smarter later." After sighing, Cun Yunsheng looked at the three guards behind him.
In order to ensure Chen Xiaozui's safety, he deliberately left behind a guard.
"Yes." The three guards nodded quickly in response.
After a while, the group arrived at the yard of No. 78 in the alley.
Before this, Cun Yunsheng had already put the weapons into the house.
He glanced at his watch and saw that there was still a quarter of an hour left before the agreed time. Cun Yunsheng was not in a hurry and just sat at the door.
After a while, the sound of dogs barking was heard in the distance, and a group of people gradually caught the attention of Cun Yunsheng and others.
"Coming, Commander." the guard said in a low voice.
"Be alert." Cun Yunsheng nodded.
Walking in front of the team was Milong, holding a lantern in his hand.
"Sir, the people are here." Seeing Cun Yunsheng, Milong became extremely respectful.
This made Cun Yunsheng a little surprised. Why did this guy change his personality?
Without time to think, Cun Yunsheng looked at the middle-aged man in a long gown behind him.
"Who is this?"
"Sir, this is Mr. Chen." Milong introduced quickly.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng's pupils shrank. His surname was Chen, and he kept wondering where the other person came from.
But he still looked enthusiastic and invited the other person into the room.
After entering the room and both parties sat down in turn, Milong couldn't help but speak.
"Sir, where are all the things?"
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands, looking impatient.
This left Cun Yunsheng speechless. He originally wanted to find out the other party's bottom line.
"They are all in the next room. Take some people to move them over." Cun Yunsheng pointed to the next room and said casually.
When Milong took people to move things, Cun Yunsheng looked at him again.
"Commander Cun, I'm very curious, why are you interested in Zenda?" Mr. Chen broke the awkwardness without waiting for Cun Yunsheng to speak.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was not surprised. Instead, he looked at the other party and asked back.
"How could you be interested in a small border town like Zenda? As far as I know, there are only a bunch of defeated soldiers here, and they can't make much money."
In response to Cun Yunsheng's question, Mr. Chen did not seem to be panicked at all, but spoke calmly.
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat."
"I'm just very curious. With Commander Cun's family background, he would be the leader of a main force wherever he goes. Even if it's the Central Army, he would definitely be an elite leader. Why would he come here to recruit soldiers?"
"The soldiers here are all defeated, bad soldiers, and useless."
"If such a force is deployed, it will definitely damage the reputation of the Cun family."
Cun Yunsheng was not surprised when his family background was exposed. Those who were able to work in the black market must have powerful influence, otherwise they would have been beaten to death long ago.
The reason why Zenda can only Milong do the black market is, on the one hand, because of his martial arts, and on the other hand, because this guy is good at research and took the opportunity to get close to people in the black market.
Otherwise, why is Milong the only one capable in the entire Zenda?
Why in the original book, in order to make money, Long Wenjian had to find Milong to sell weapons? Couldn't he sell them himself?
Otherwise, with Long Wenjian's ability, how could he not know about the black market?
Because he knew that it was impossible to work in the black market without a background.
It can also be seen here that Lai and Milong are still very capable.
"That also depends on who leads them. If it were me, I would definitely become famous and even several times stronger than those so-called aces." Cun Yunsheng said confidently.
Now it was Mr. Chen's turn to be surprised. He looked at Cun Yunsheng, hesitated for a moment, and then asked directly.
"I wonder what the relationship is between Commander Cun and General Cun Xingqi?"
"My great uncle." Cun Yunsheng said calmly, without any fluctuation. Hearing this, Mr. Chen nodded, and it was obvious that he was not surprised, and even looked as if he had expected it.
He is so young, he must be the third generation of the Cun family.
I just didn’t expect that the other party would come out to fight against the Japanese at such a young age.
At this time, Milong also moved all the weapons and equipment to the yard, and the two stopped chatting and walked towards the yard.
Three bicycles were placed in the center, along with fifty M1 Garand rifles, some ammunition, and a mortar.
Especially the 60 mortar. When Milong saw it, he was secretly amazed. This guy really has great power.
In fact, Cun Yunsheng was originally hesitant about whether to sell it, but after thinking about it, he decided to sell it first.
The main reason is that he currently has no artillery, and more importantly, he believes that there will be more such mortars in the future.
There will even be large-caliber artillery.
For now, we should first raise funds and build up the team. Weapons and equipment can be easily obtained.
According to his estimation, there was still a month before entering Burma to fight, which was enough time for him to do his work. If he was lucky, he could also gather all the weapons and equipment.
At the same time, he will strengthen the military discipline training of the troops this month.
Mr. Chen was obviously a man who had seen the world, so these weapons seemed a little surprising to him at most, but not too shocking.
"A brand new Wuqi bicycle, worth seven hundred dollars." Mr. Chen was obviously very knowledgeable. He could tell at a glance that the bicycle was imported and gave a quote immediately.
Seven hundred dollars. Cun Yunsheng nodded. He didn’t expect the bicycle to be so expensive.
Milong next to him was also a little surprised.
Three vehicles cost two thousand and a half dollars, not including the weapons and equipment.
"The M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle is a good thing. It costs one hundred dollars to import it. And that's just for import. On the black market, it costs one hundred and fifty dollars, which is five hundred dollars for one rifle." Mr. Chen picked up a brand new M1 Garand rifle and operated it skillfully, sighing at the same time.
"The superiors have just reached a cooperation agreement with the US military, and the US equipment has not yet been fully installed. I didn't expect that you could get so much. It's not easy."
Cun Yunsheng had no interest in answering the other party's question, but instead clicked his tongue secretly.
Is it so expensive?
Such huge profits?
No wonder everyone wants to make money from war, it's so profitable.
"Mr. Chen, don't you have too many questions?" Cun Yunsheng replied indifferently.
"Sorry, I said that out of turn. I want all these weapons."
"60 mortars, dollars, and shells dollars each."
"Rifle bullets, one thousand rounds, one hundred and thirty dollars."
"There are also three small yellow croakers, each of which can be exchanged for 850 dollars."
"The total is thirty-one thousand three hundred dollars." Mr. Chen gave a number quickly.
At the same time, he was secretly surprised. Fortunately, he asked someone to prepare some extra dollars before he came, otherwise it would not be enough.
However, when Cun Yunsheng heard this number, he seemed very calm.
Of course, I was still a little excited inside.
He also didn't expect that arms would be so expensive now?
In fact, it is mainly due to the successive wars that have led to a sharp decline in military output, and many troops simply do not have enough ammunition.
Without connections, getting arms is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
This is why the phenomenon of arms trafficking on the black market is very serious.
So when Cun Yunsheng sold the arms, the other party was not at all surprised.
Because every unit is reselling arms on the black market.
Even the Japanese army was no exception.
Cun Yunsheng thought that with the more than 30,000 oceans, his current difficulties would be solved.
