Chapter 232 Ten divisions? Less, at least twenty divisions! (Second update!) “Dear Cun, I’m glad to see you again.” Cun Yunsheng, who had just returned to Bangkok, received the news before he had time to rest. Alberts had been coming for several days, asking to see him. This surprised Cun Yunsheng and at the same time, a smile appeared on his face. Unexpectedly, this guy actually kept his promise and came within a month. "Sir Alberts, it seems that you have been doing well recently." Cun Yunsheng judged from the other person's expression that this guy was doing well recently. Hearing this, Alberts chuckled, unable to restrain the pride on his lips. Obviously, the disastrous defeat of the British army in Alexandria caused considerable turmoil in various colonies. In some places, riots broke out directly, and the British army was unable to suppress them, so they could only defend important cities first. “I didn’t expect that your Excellency would guess that there is really a problem in Alexandria.” Alberts said respectfully.
“So, are we going to complete the last transaction this time?” Cun Yunsheng asked instead of continuing the discussion on this issue. Hearing this, Alberts nodded and then asked suspiciously. “Can you please come up with the weapons and equipment we need?” "This is the list." Cun Yunsheng didn't waste any time and handed over a list he had just prepared. After taking the list and taking a look at it, Alberts’ face didn’t look very good. “Cun, many of these are Japanese-style weapons. They are far from the American-style equipment you mentioned.” After all, the two parties were talking about beautiful equipment before, but now, they are all junk. This huge contrast is naturally hard to accept. “The price is also very low, and there are so many beautiful equipments, are you sure you can afford them? The price is not cheap.” Cun Yunsheng said, and pulled out another list. It is clearly written on it what the price of the art equipment is. Obviously the price is much higher than the previous listing. Alberts couldn't help but take a breath as he looked at the list. The price is indeed ridiculously expensive. “Ten divisions, can you sell the tanks and artillery?” Alberts gritted his teeth and offered ten divisions of weapons and equipment. This time Cun Yunsheng was really calmed down. You must know that an infantry squad in the US military is equipped with two light machine guns. A division combined has thousands of light and heavy machine guns. There are several times more light machine guns than there were German weapon masters back then. The artillery battery has six 105mm howitzers, and an artillery battalion has eighteen 105mm howitzers.
Now that there are ten art mechanics coming directly, it means that the heavy artillery alone is a huge business. Furthermore, with the current capabilities of the Sichuan Legion, it is still difficult to come up with ten art masters. Of course, if you give him some time, there will still be no problem. Because the number of tree fellings increased to eight times a day. Equipment for about two regiments can be produced in a month. Ten art masters, that is, one year. It seems very slow, but it is actually very fast. Could it be said that the camel brothers around Persia are no longer willing to be lonely? Want to jump out and drive away the British army? It is not impossible. After all, the British army is now weak, and these people who have been oppressed for a long time will definitely jump out. The reason for this guess is purely because of these ten art masters. You must know that these ten art masters, even if they are based on the scale of 15,000 people, they are still 150,000 people. Given the current situation in Persia, there is no need for so many people and equipment. The only explanation is that this batch of equipment is probably going to be sold to the other Camel brothers. Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng squinted his eyes, looked at Alberts in front of him, and said with a sneer. “Sir Alberts, you are so dishonest. I have always regarded you as my friend. So this is how you deceive your friends?” "Can you afford so many weapons? Ten divisions? At least 150,000 troops, and even 200,000 troops." “Is it possible that you want to drive away the British? Or are you ready for war with the British?” “My brother, you know what I dislike most is dishonest people.” Seeing that he had been exposed, Alberts blushed, but he quickly regained his composure, and then said with a smile. “That’s right, we really don’t need so much equipment.” “Did you buy it for those brothers?” Cun Yunsheng narrowed his eyes and continued to ask. "Yes, those are my brothers. You know, the British army is weak now, but after all, the other side was once the world's hegemon. If you challenge the other side openly, it will definitely lead to revenge." 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 kind of trick of letting the little brother try the British army's reaction cannot be hidden from Cun Yunsheng at all. "That's right." Alberts admitted directly without any embarrassment. “Dear Cun, you know that if we succeed, we will become the leaders of the Persian world.” “At that time it will be possible for us 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 did not expect that his original idea of reducing the strength of the British army would cause such a huge shock. Even brought out the ambitions of Persia. The entire Persian world also experienced changes. Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng's mind kept spinning. He needed to figure it out. What will be the impact of fluctuations in the Persian world? First of all, without the support of Persian oil, the British Empire will probably lose more than half of its so-called royal fleet. But the problem is not big, that is, there is still a wet nurse in the US military who can take care of everything. As long as the British Empire is willing to sell its bottom line, there will be no problem in sustaining it. As for after the war, I am afraid that it will immediately become a third-rate country. This is a short-term disadvantage. But in the long run, there are huge benefits for Cun Yunsheng. First of all, we must win the friendship of the Persian world. From now on, priority will be given to importing oil. The second thing is to make the situation even more treacherous. Before this, he needed to determine Alberts's 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 impression of the German army. Now that the people have changed, the route has naturally changed. "Dear Cun, is a small country like ours, which lives in the cracks, 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 completely made up your mind?” 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 hearing it?" Cun Yunsheng said with a half-smile. Hearing this, Alberts immediately became interested, with a respectful expression on his face, waiting for Cun Yunsheng's next words. “This is a colony of the British Army, South Yemen, and it is also an important outlet for guarding the Red Sea. If you can instigate the indigenous people here to launch a riot, it will definitely be enough for the British Army.” “As far as I know, a task force formed by the Allied forces is about to rush to the Red Sea.” “If you can set up heavy artillery here, it will definitely be enough to give the passing Allied warships a drink.” I saw Cun Yunsheng pointing at the map and kept saying what he was thinking. To put it bluntly, it means setting up heavy artillery on the coast. With the range of the 155mm howitzer, there is still hope that it can hit the opponent. If a few more fighter planes are used as reconnaissance aircraft, real-time coordinates will be provided.
That is definitely enough for the Allied warships to drink a pot. "What's the benefit of this?" Alberts is not a fool. How can he agree to something that has no benefits? “You will naturally win the friendship of many people.” Cun Yunsheng chuckled. "Friendship among many people?" Alberts didn't react for a while, but he immediately came back to his senses after looking at Cun Yunsheng's expression. “Dear Cun, you are right, you will indeed win the friendship of many people.” Before Alberts could finish speaking, Cun Yunsheng continued. “And I think ten divisions are too little equipped. At least twenty divisions are needed.” Twenty divisions? This moment shocked Alberts. He originally thought that ten divisions would be enough, but who knew that the other party would directly use the equipment of twenty divisions, which could equip 300,000 people. Cun Yunsheng looked at Alberts and chuckled inwardly. Although he can't get the equipment for twenty divisions now, as long as he is given time, it will be completed soon. As the golden finger continues to upgrade, the number of trees cut down also increases, and the chance of it also increases. I believe that it will not be long before one division is equipped with equipment a month, which will definitely not be a problem. Coupled with the arsenal built by Fertig, it means that there will be no shortage of weapons and equipment in the future. With so many weapons and equipment, if you don’t sell them and exchange them for something, why keep them? And it seems like a lot, but in fact one point is not much at all. Given Persia's fighting skills, forget it! Even after seven or eight years of fighting, there is still no winner. Not to mention, there are so many third world countries waiting for him to dump arms? What the United States and the Soviet Union failed to accomplish, he can accomplish in advance. Single person dismembered the British and French colonial systems. Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng felt excited in his heart. "What price do we need to pay?" Alberts looked at Cun Yunsheng, considered it, and asked. Instinct told him that these weapons should not be so easy to get. More importantly, can the other party come up with so many weapons? Although the most profitable things now are arms, food, and medicine. But it is the equipment of twenty divisions in one breath, which will definitely cause quite a stir. As expected, when he heard this, the smile on Cun Yunsheng's face became even bigger. “Don’t worry, it won’t be a huge price, it’s just a small agreement.”
"What agreement?" Alberts' heart trembled. Ever since the British army opened the country with guns and cannons, they had all kinds of resistance to this kind of agreement. So when I heard what Cun Yunsheng said, I subconsciously thought that I was going to sign some unequal treaty. If this is the case, then you can consider canceling the cooperation. Cun Yunsheng said with a smile as if he could see Alberts' worries. "Don't worry, I am not a British soldier. I will make you sign various traitorous treaties. It is just a simple oil contract agreement. Within a hundred years, I can have the best right to purchase oil at a price based on the real-time market price. 70% to settle.” “In addition, we need a supply port specifically to supply my fleet.” After hearing this, Alberts breathed a sigh of relief. He thought there would be some harsh conditions. It’s just a simple oil purchase agreement, so there’s no problem. Only regarding the port requirements, he put forward different views. “Do you have a fleet?” In response to Alberts' question, Cun Yunsheng did not answer, but said with a half-smile. “There will be a fleet sooner or later.” “Cun, I need to know clearly what the nature of this port is.” Alberts continued to ask. "Don't worry, the garrison at 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. It can be written into the agreement." Cun Yunsheng knew the other party's worries and said casually. . Alborz just doesn't know how much oil there is underneath their ground. Once he knew about it, he probably wouldn’t be so calm. This is a lot of money lost. "If that's the case, then I can agree to your terms." Alberts breathed a sigh of relief. This condition is indeed much better than that of 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. “A 15,000-person artillery force can be loaded onto a ship at any time. In addition, the old equipment can also be loaded onto a ship at any time. Not only that, a hundred artillery pieces of various calibers can also be loaded onto a ship.” Hearing this, Alberts' eyes suddenly lit up, even though he didn't like those old-style equipment. But when sold to those local chiefs, it is definitely very popular. Not to mention hundreds of artillery pieces. Next to him, Meng Fan 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 shut up. Only Cun Yunsheng knew that it would only slow down the reorganization of the Sichuan Army by about ten days at most. Because, Long Wenwen sent him a telegram. Two hundred thousand natives have been recruited, and they are still in the name of Yangon to support the Allied operations.
In other words, Stilwell had to hold his nose and recognize these 200,000 people. Otherwise, it will undermine the confidence of allies in fighting fascism. In this case, it is not a problem at all to deduct the weapons and equipment of one or two regiments as they come and go. After all, a group of natives know nothing about beautiful equipment. Give them a pure waste. Including the more than a thousand rifles saved in the arsenal, some will be transferred from the Sichuan Army Corps. The weapons and equipment accumulated by Goldfinger. It is not a problem at all to gather the equipment for a division. You can even take this opportunity to replace the old artillery pieces of the Sichuan Army. Achieve multiple things with one stone! The only drawback is that the reorganization speed of the Sichuan Army will be slower, and the arms business in the north will have to stop for a period of time. But compared to causing trouble for the Allies, this impact is nothing. Moreover, after Persia's strength expands, its ambitions 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. At that time, it will be fun to go north and penetrate into the Caucasus region.
