Chapter 342 Chu Yunfei's Big Order
The originally scheduled time was to start at 10 a.m., but unexpectedly, before 9 a.m., people started arriving one after another, and there were quite a lot of them.
The entire Ping'an County Arms Exhibition is divided into light weapons, heavy weapons and special weapons areas, and each weapon has a dedicated person to explain it.
Originally according to Yu Ye's plan, these people should be most interested in heavy weapons, but he didn't expect that after this group of people came in, they immediately went straight to the Gatling machine gun area.
Yu Ye was looking at the huge crowd through a telescope in a small dark room far away, and asked Xing Zhiguo next to him: "Old Xing, don't you think they are interested in heavy weapons?
Why do everyone go straight to Gatlin as soon as they come in? "
Xing Zhiguo was also a little slow to react: "Old Yu, isn't the 12.7mm caliber Gatling a heavy weapon? Shouldn't it be counted as a heavy machine gun?"
"How can this be considered a heavy weapon? In my opinion, anything with a caliber below 100mm is considered a light weapon."
Xing Zhiguo: “…”
Deputy Captain Xing didn't know how to respond to Yu Yecai. Minister Yu's fear of insufficient firepower had reached an advanced stage and there was no hope for him.
"Minister Yu, when I was in charge of the on-site inspection this morning, I saw that the headquarters sent people to deliver dozens of boxes of brand new border area tickets. What is this for?"
Xing Zhiguo's task today is to follow Yu Ye closely, stand in a safe position far enough away from the exhibition site and observe, and if any emergency occurs, escort Yu Ye to a safe enough place at all costs.
According to leaders at all levels, even if all the members of the independent regiment were killed, Yu Ye would not be spared a single hair.
"Oh, this is Lao Zhao's idea. He said that all transactions today can only be conducted using Border District Tickets."
"Ah? Will these people agree? And will they agree to use our border area tickets?"
Xing Zhiguo opened his eyes wide, with disbelief written all over his face.
"You have to agree to that. Our old Zhao has said personally that anyone who doesn't abide by the rules of our independent regiment and Liaoyuan Arsenal will be kicked out."
"What? When did our political commissar become so domineering? Who did he learn this from?"
Xing Zhiguo muttered to himself while glancing at Yu Ye. According to his understanding, only Yu Ye could do such a thing.
"What the hell are you looking at? Let me tell you, it wasn't me who led Old Zhao astray."
Yu Ye said unhappily.
Xing Zhiguo nodded meaningfully, but looking at his expression, it seemed that he didn't quite believe it.
"Old Yu, let's not dwell on this issue. I am a little confused. Why do all transactions here today have to use our border area tickets?
I also heard that if you use border zone tickets for transactions, you can get a 10% discount when you exchange them.
Originally, one could only exchange ninety silver dollars and gold for border area notes, but now one can exchange one hundred.
Isn’t this a losing business?”
Xing Zhiguo is a good fighter and understands political rules very well, but he is a little confused about economics.
Hearing this, Yu Ye smiled and turned to the young man next to him and said, "Xiao Gu, why don't you have a good talk with our Deputy Head Xing?"
Gu Siwei, the young man who has been in charge of economic work, said softly: "Captain Xing, Political Commissar Zhao actually did this for a reason, and it was my suggestion to him.
You say currency is just a piece of paper, how can it be equivalent to gold and silver?
In fact, the most important thing is the credit behind each piece of banknote, which is guaranteed by the credit of the country or the regime.
In a sense, the hearts of the people are reflected behind each banknote.”
“In fact, the political commissar did this to make those who came to participate in the arms exhibition have a deep-seated understanding that the value of our border area notes is very strong and can be equated with gold and silver.
If they have Border Region Tickets, they can buy what they need from our Eighth Route Army.”
Gu Siwei spoke eloquently, and Xing Zhiguo suddenly became enlightened after listening. He did not expect that the seemingly unnecessary behavior actually had a deep meaning.
And the intention is so far-reaching.
Yu Ye also looked at the young man beside him with approval, and saw a youthful spirit in him, which was exactly what the declining country he was in needed.
"Old Xing, I'm looking forward to the day when the Japanese will use our border area tickets to do business with us."
Yu Ye squinted his eyes and looked at the bustling venue in the distance. Everything in the future would start from here.
To sweep away the Japanese is not as simple as conquering them by force, but to break their backbones from every aspect so that they dare not even look up at China.
While a few people were still discussing, Lao Li came back from the scene and started talking in a loud voice: "Lao Yu, I saw it, the scene was very lively.
Our products sell very well. We have sold nearly 500 sets of Broadsword Mine alone.
Not to mention, we have quite a few Zhongzheng rifles here, and they sell very well. It is said that our craftsmanship is better than that of other arsenals, and the accuracy is much better.
Moreover, the price of bullets was relatively reasonable, nearly 30% cheaper than the price on the black market. Several large Shanxi-Suiyuan Army families nearby bought bullets by the tens of thousands.
By the way, Lao Yu, why did you set the minimum sales volume for 56 Chong and 56 Ban to be units?
There aren't many forces around that can handle 56 Type rifles."
Li Yunlong expressed his disbelief about some of Ye's plans.
Yu Ye laughed and said, "Old Li, let me ask you a question. How long do you think it will take for our Type 56 to be copied?"
"One or two years, I guess?"
Li Yunlong said somewhat uncertainly.
"You are too optimistic. The Type 56 submachine gun has demonstrated its power on the battlefield. More than half a year has passed. If the Japs can't produce a replica in another three months, then I can only say that they are a bunch of idiots and there is no way they can occupy China.
I guess the Japanese have already manufactured our Type 56 submachine gun in the laboratory and are just waiting for large-scale production.
So, I thought that instead of letting the Japanese copy it and fight us, it would be better to sell it to the surrounding armed forces and give the Japanese a head start first.
Old Li, you have to remember that once you start the arms race, there is only one way to go, and that is to go all the way to the end.
War is an unparalleled force in the advancement of technology.”
Yu Ye said calmly.
In fact, he was already very confused as to why the Japanese had not yet copied the Type 56 submachine gun. Was it because we were too ruthless and all the Japanese who had seen the Type 56 submachine gun were dead?
It shouldn’t be that case.
Just when Yu Ye was about to ask what weapons the devils had used recently, Zhao Gang ran over from a distance and said with uneven breathing, "Old Yu, Old Yu, Chu Yunfei from the Shanxi Suiyuan Army must look for you. He said he has a big order to discuss with you!"
"A big order? How big can it be?"
