Chapter 232 Ten divisions? Less, at least twenty divisions! (Second update!)
"Dear Cun, it's great to see you again." Cun Yunsheng, who had just returned to Bangkok, received the message before he had time to rest.

Alberts had been coming for several days, asking to see him.

This surprised Cun Yunsheng, but a smile appeared on his face.

I didn't expect this guy to keep his promise and come within a month.

"Mr. Alberts, it seems that you have been doing well recently." Cun Yunsheng judged from the other party's expression that this guy has been doing well recently.

Hearing this, Alberts chuckled, unable to suppress the smugness on his face.

It is obvious that the British army's disastrous defeat in Alexandria caused considerable turmoil in the colonies.

In some places, riots even broke out, and the British army was unable to suppress them and could only defend important cities first.

"I didn't expect that your guess was right. There really is a problem in Alexandria." Alberts said respectfully.

"So, are we going to complete the last transaction this time?" Cun Yunsheng did not continue discussing this issue, but asked back.

Hearing this, Alberts nodded, then asked doubtfully.

"Can Your Excellency provide us with the weapons and equipment we need?"

"Here is the list." Cun Yunsheng didn't waste any words and directly handed over a list he had just prepared.

After taking the list and taking a look at it, Alberts's expression did not look very good.

"Cun, many of these are Japanese weapons, which are far from the American equipment you mentioned."

After all, what the two sides were talking about before were American weapons and equipment, but now, they are all junk.

This huge contrast is naturally hard to accept.

"The price is very low, and there are so many American weapons and equipment. Are you sure you can afford it? The price is not cheap." Cun Yunsheng said, and took out another list.

It clearly states the price of American equipment.

Obviously the price is much higher than the previous listing.

Alberts looked at the list and gasped.

This price is indeed outrageous.

"If you can get ten divisions, can you sell their tanks and artillery?" Alberts gritted his teeth and offered the weapons and equipment for ten divisions.

This really stunned Cun Yunsheng.

You should know that a US infantry squad is equipped with two light machine guns.

A division has thousands of light and heavy machine guns.

In terms of machine guns alone, the number is several times more than that of the German-equipped divisions of that time.

An artillery company has six 105mm howitzers, and an artillery battalion has eighteen 105mm howitzers.

The arrival of ten American-equipped divisions now means that heavy artillery alone is a huge business.

Moreover, with the current capabilities of the Sichuan Army, it would be difficult to deploy ten American-equipped divisions.

Of course, if you give him some time, there will be no problem.

Because the number of tree fellings increased to eight times a day.

About two groups of equipment can be produced in a month.

Ten American-equipped divisions, that is, one year.

It seems slow, but it is actually very fast.

Could it be that the camel brothers around Persia are also unwilling to be lonely?
Want to jump out and drive away the British troops?
It is not impossible. After all, the British army is weak now, and these people who have been oppressed for a long time will definitely jump out.

The reason for this speculation is purely because of these ten American-equipped divisions.

You have to know that these ten American-equipped divisions, even if they are scaled at 15,000 people, still have 150,000 people.

Given the current situation in Persia, there is no need to equip so many people.

The only explanation is that this batch of equipment is probably going to be sold to other Camel brothers.

Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng narrowed his eyes, looked at Alberts in front of him, and said with a sneer.

"Mr. Alberts, you are dishonest. I always thought you were my friend, but this is how you deceive your friends?"

"Can you afford so many weapons? Ten divisions? That's at least a 150,000-man force, and even equip 200,000."

"Are you going to drive the British away? Or are you ready to go to war with the British?"

"My brother, you know what I hate most is dishonest people."

Seeing that he was exposed, Alberts' face turned red, but he quickly regained his composure and then said with a smile.

"Yes, we really don't need so much equipment."

"Did you buy it for those brothers?" Cun Yunsheng narrowed his eyes and continued to ask.

"That's right, my brothers. You know, the British army is weak now, but after all, they were once the world hegemon. Openly challenging them will definitely lead to retaliation." Alberts spread his hands and said helplessly.

"So, you purchased these weapons to let those brothers test the reaction of the British army?" Cun Yunsheng saw through the other party's true purpose at a glance.

This trick of letting the younger brother test the reaction of the British army could not be hidden from Cun Yunsheng at all.

"That's right." Alberts admitted it directly without any embarrassment.

"My dear Cun, you know, if we succeed, we will become the leaders of the Persian world."

"Then we will have the possibility to reorganize the Persian Empire."

"So, our King sent me here in the hope of purchasing more weapons."

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng fell into deep thought.

He didn't expect that his idea of ​​reducing the strength of the British army would cause such a huge shock.

It even brought out Persia's ambitions.

As a result, the entire Persian world was undergoing changes.

Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng's brain kept working, he needed to figure it out.

What impact will the fluctuations in the Persian world have?

First of all, without the oil support from Persia, the so-called Royal Fleet of the British Empire would probably be laid to rest immediately.

But the problem is not big, because we still have the US military as our nanny to provide a safety net.

As long as the British Empire is willing to sell its assets, it will have no problem staying afloat.

As for the post-war period, it will probably immediately become a third-rate country.

This is a short-term disadvantage.

But in the long run, it will bring huge benefits to Cun Yunsheng.

The first thing must be to win the friendship of the Persian world, and in the future, oil will definitely be given priority in imports.

The second is to make the situation even more complicated.

Before that, he needed to determine Alberts' attitude towards the German army.

"I wonder what His Majesty the King of your country thinks of the German army?" Cun Yunsheng asked.

Before this, Persia had a great liking for the German army. Now that the people have changed, the route has naturally changed as well.

"Dear Cun, as a small country like ours that survives in the cracks, are we qualified to comment on these things?" Alberts did not answer, but used a clever word to let Cun Yunsheng understand the other party's attitude.

"So have you made up your mind completely?" Cun Yunsheng narrowed his eyes and asked again.

"Yes." Alberts nodded and said solemnly.

"Then I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are interested in listening to it?" Cun Yunsheng said with a smile. Hearing this, Alberts immediately became interested and waited for Cun Yunsheng's next words with a respectful expression.

"This is a British colony, South Yemen, and it is also an important exit to the Red Sea. If you can instigate the natives here to start a riot, it will definitely be enough to give the British army a hard time."

"As far as I know, the Allied task force will soon be heading to the Red Sea."

"If you can set up heavy artillery here, it will definitely be enough to give passing Allied warships a hard time."

Cun Yunsheng was seen pointing at the map and constantly expressing his thoughts.

To put it simply, it means setting up heavy artillery on the coast. With the range of the 155mm howitzer, there is still hope of hitting the enemy.

If a few fighter jets are added as reconnaissance aircraft, they can provide real-time coordinates.

That would definitely be enough to give the Allied warships a hard time.

"What are the benefits of this?" Alberts is not a fool. How could he agree to something without any benefits?
"You will naturally win the friendship of many people." Cun Yunsheng chuckled.

"The friendship of many people?" Alberts didn't react for a moment, but when he saw Cun Yunsheng's expression, he immediately came to his senses.

"Dear Cun, you are right. It will indeed win the friendship of many people."

Without waiting for Alberts to finish, Cun Yunsheng continued.

"And I think ten divisions are too little equipped. We need at least twenty divisions."

Twenty divisions?

This directly scared Alberts. He originally thought that ten divisions were enough, but who knew that the other party would directly give him equipment for twenty divisions, which could equip three hundred thousand people.

Cun Yunsheng looked at Alberts and chuckled in his heart.

Although he cannot produce equipment for twenty divisions now, he can complete it soon if he is given time.

As the golden finger is continuously upgraded, the number of tree cuts is also increasing, and the probability is also increasing.

I believe that it won’t be a problem to equip a division in a month or so.

Coupled with the arsenal built by Fettig, it means there will be no shortage of weapons and equipment in the future.

With so many weapons and equipment, why keep them instead of selling them and exchanging them for something else?
And although it may seem like a lot, one point is actually not much at all.

Considering Persia’s fighting skills, forget it!

After fighting for seven or eight years, the winner is still unknown.

Not to mention, there are so many third world countries waiting for him to dump arms.
He could complete ahead of time what the United States and the Soviet Union had not completed.

Single-handedly dismembered the British and French colonial systems.

Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng felt excited.

"What price do we need to pay?" Alberts looked at Cun Yunsheng, thought for a while, and asked.

His intuition told him that these weapons should not be so easy to obtain. More importantly, could the other party come up with so many weapons?

Although the most profitable things now are arms, food and medicine.

But if the equipment of twenty divisions was taken away at once, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the smile on Cun Yunsheng's face widened.

"Don't worry, it won't be a huge price, just a small agreement."

"What agreement?" Alberts' heart skipped a beat. Ever since the British army opened their country's door with guns and cannons, they have been resistant to this kind of agreement.

So when I heard Cun Yunsheng say this, I subconsciously thought that we would also have to sign some unequal treaty.

If this is the case, then you can consider canceling the cooperation.

As if he could see the worry in Alberts' heart, Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm not a British soldier who will make you sign all kinds of traitorous treaties. This is just a simple oil contract agreement. For a hundred years, I can have the best right to purchase oil, and the price will be settled at 70% of the real-time market price."

"In addition, I will need a supply port specifically for resupplying my fleet."

After hearing this, Alberts felt relieved, as he had thought the conditions would be harsh.

It's just a simple oil purchase agreement, there's no problem with that.

However, he had different opinions on the requirements for the port.

"Does your Excellency have a fleet?"

Cun Yunsheng did not answer Alberts' question, but spoke with a smile.

"There will be a fleet sooner or later."

"Cun, I need to understand clearly what the nature of this port is." Alberts continued to ask.

"Don't worry, the garrison in this port will not exceed 500 people. They are only responsible for the maritime supply of the naval fleet. I will not intervene in the rest. This can be written into the agreement." Cun Yunsheng knew the other party's concerns and said casually.

Alberts just didn't know how much oil was beneath their ground.

Once I knew, I probably wouldn't be so calm.

This trip alone cost a lot of money.

"If that's all, then I can agree to your conditions." Alberts breathed a sigh of relief. This condition was indeed much better than those offered by Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union.

"But can you really provide equipment for twenty divisions?"

In response to Alberts' question, Cun Yunsheng just chuckled.

"The equipment of a 15,000-man American-equipped division can be loaded onto the ship at any time. In addition, the old equipment can also be loaded onto the ship at any time. Not only that, a hundred guns of various calibers can also be loaded onto the ship."

Hearing this, Alberts' eyes suddenly lit up, although he looked down on those old equipment.

But when sold to those local chiefs, it is definitely a best-seller.

Not to mention hundreds of artillery pieces.

Meng Fanle next to him was a little anxious. Selling so many weapons would affect the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army. He wanted to speak, but considering the current situation, he chose to keep silent.

Only Cun Yunsheng knew that the reorganization of the Sichuan Army would only slow down by about ten days at most.

Because Long Wenjian sent him a telegram.

Two hundred thousand natives have been recruited, and they are still being recruited under the name of Rangoon to support the Allied forces in the war.

In other words, Stilwell had to accept these 200,000 people with a pinch of his nose.

Otherwise, it would undermine the confidence of the allies in fighting fascism.

In this case, it would not be a problem at all to deduct the weapons and equipment of one or two regiments.

After all, they are just a group of natives, what do they know about American weapons and equipment?

Giving it to them is pure waste.

In addition to the more than 1,000 rifles stored in the arsenal, some will be allocated from the Sichuan Army.

Weapons and equipment accumulated by Gold Finger.

It is not a problem at all to gather enough equipment for a division.

You can even take this opportunity to replace the Sichuan Army's old artillery.

Get it in one fell swoop!
The only drawback is that the reorganization of the Sichuan Army will be slower, and the arms business in the north will have to stop for a while.

However, compared with the trouble caused to the Allies, this impact is nothing.

Moreover, as Persia's strength grows, its ambition will also increase. Not only will it attack the British army, it may even go north to retake the territory occupied by the Soviet army.

When the time comes, we will go north directly to the Caucasus region, and that will be fun.
