Chapter 66: Receiving weapon

It was broken yesterday, I am sorry, and I thank the lazy readers, Nanyang Empire, Jiangbian Zhi for the reward,
At noon, a long convoy was driving on the road leading to the port of Balanga. In front of the team, Sun Bin and Zhao Yan rode on horses and were ready to receive weapons at the port.
"Congratulations to Brother Sun for rising," Zhao Yan rode on the horse and laughed at Sun Bin.
After Sun Bin was promoted to chief of logistics, he contacted the local indigenous people through the descendants of Chinese of Peru, and found 6,000 alpaca within one week, which exceeded Li Mingyuan's task.
He was praised by Li Mingyuan and promoted him to be deputy chief of staff and concurrently chief of logistics. Sun Bin stepped into the core of the Chinese Independent Army.
Chinese independent military personnel are lacking. Before Sun Bin was promoted to deputy chief of staff, there was only Liu Pu, the chief of staff at the staff headquarters. Most of the vacancies were in the deputy chief of staff and the chief of the subordinates. The chief officer is responsible.
初 In the early days of the army, there was a shortage of talents. At this time, raising people with insufficient capabilities to high ranks is prone to problems.
So Li Mingyuan adopted the method of rather lacking excesses to reduce the number of clerics in the army, and waited until they made achievements in the deputy post.
In this way, the officers in the staff have room for improvement, and they are more cautious in doing their work, reducing incidents of erroneous operation of the army.
"Brother Zhao is polite, but I was fortunate enough to complete the task before I was wrongly loved as the Deputy Chief of Staff." Sun Bin modestly said.
"Brother Sun is too humble. Everyone's performance in the staff is very important. Therefore, the position of Deputy Chief of Staff is the place for Brother Sun."
During the feudal period, the court paid attention to the officials' appearances. It is said that Sun Bin lost one leg and was not likely to be an official. However, the Chinese Independent Army was first established without so many rules. Therefore, after a preliminary inspection, Liu Pu transferred him. Help yourself to work.
Sun Bin cherished the hard-won opportunity and seriously assisted Liu Pu in managing the logistics of the Chinese Independent Army. He completed the job at hand very well and was favored by Liu Pu. He was promoted step by step, and finally fell into Li Mingyuan's eyes. Only today's position.
"Oh, don't say anything about me, how is Brother Zhao's work done?"
The burden on Zhao Yan is also not light. He is responsible for drug procurement, Langzhong management, and food allocation.
In order to work in these days, Zhao Yan is too busy to stay on the ground, so when he heard Sun Bin asking about work, he smiled bitterly, "The problem of food is easy to handle. The food in the occupied area has been shipped to Arequipa. But the medicine It took a lot of effort to make up the sum. "
"Talk about the specific situation."
"During the transfer of troops, they have to go through the sweltering forest areas, so there are many medicines for controlling tropical diseases and insect pests on the list of purchased medicines.
Furthermore, Shizi specifically instructed to purchase a lot of cinchona cream. These medicines are very large in quantity. In order to complete the task, I not only visited the merchants of various European countries one by one, but also collected the medicines personally to make up the demand for medicines. "
延 Zhao Yan said he rolled up his sleeves, exposed his bruised right arm, and said, "These scars are all for the collection of cinchona cream."
"Tropical forest areas are susceptible to various diseases. Ample supply of medicines and drugs is very important for the troops to reach their destinations safely. Therefore, brother Zhao, purchasing medicines is a big deal, and it should be bitter."
"Hehe, I understand what Brother Sun said, this is not what I said in front of you, when I really do things, I am not sloppy."
延 Zhao Yan smiled and joked, "Looking at my hard work in collecting medicine up the mountain, Brother Sun doesn't blame me?"
行 "Okay, after busy receiving weapons, I invite you to drink at night."
When Sun Bin was promoted to deputy chief of staff, Zhao Yan was also righted as the director of the military affairs department. The gap between the two was not so great, so they still got along well as they did before, and there was no obvious difference.
"Brother Zhao, as far as I know, there are only a few people in the Chinese who know how to heal. How do you get enough people?"
Discussed dinner at night, Sun Bin asked.
"In the Chinese, there are only 27 people who can cure medicine. Shizi asks me to make up a hundred people. This problem is really difficult to handle, but Shizi ordered it. If it is not easy to do, I will do well. So I took it from the prisoners. The Peruvian army picked out more than 20 medics, and then ransacked the occupied area. Until yesterday, it was not enough for a hundred people. "
The Shan Chinese Independent Army has strict discipline and has not committed any crimes against ordinary Peruvians in the occupied area. However, for the urgently needed doctors and other talents, they will be taken to the army and leave with the army, whether they like it or not.
Sun Bin nodded in agreement with Zhao Yan's approach. The importance of military doctors to the army is obvious. Although Zhao Yan's approach is simple and crude, it is also suitable for the situation of the Chinese Independent Army.
He chatted along the way, unconsciously, the two arrived at the port of Baranga. On the sea, dozens of ships were parked in the port, and boxes of weapons and ammunition were being removed from the ship.
"Brother Sun, we came early, they have not unloaded their weapons." Zhao Yan pointed his whip at the busy Prussian sailor in the port.
"The other troops are still waiting for new weapons. Let's not waste time, let the brothers behind them help them take down the weapons."
"Okay, I understand," Zhao Yanqi glanced at the port immediately, and found that a Prussian business representative was talking with a middle-aged white man in a military uniform.
"Brother Sun, the Prussian commercial representative is there, we directly approach him to discuss the handling of weapons." Zhao Yan pointed at Huffman and the middle-aged white man.
"Well," Sun Bin responded, dismounted and walked over there.
"Mr. Hoffman, hello, I am the person in charge of handing over the weapons to you, this is my deputy." When Sun Bin and Zhao Yan approached Huffman, he also talked to a white middle-aged officer, Did not notice the arrival of the two.
"Oh, Sun, Zhao, I'm glad to see you again." After hearing the voice, Huffman turned to see Sun Bin and Zhao Yan, and recognized them as the two people who last talked about arms sales with him. So enthusiastically.
"I'm also glad to see you, Mr. Huffman," Sun Bin shook hands with Huffman with a smile.
"What is this gentleman?" After Huffman's greetings, Sun Bin looked at the middle-aged humane beside him.
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce you, this is Mr. West, Captain of Prussia."
"Hello, Your Excellency Colonel." Sun Bin offered his hand.
"Last time we had a cooperation, do you remember?" West said.
"I remember, you are the Prussian fleet commander who traded with us for the first time."
"Haha, this is our second cooperation."
"Yes, thank you for trading weapons with us. UU Reading at www.uukanshu.com" The first time we traded weapons with Prussians provided Chinese workers with expanded weapons. Without the weapons, the Chinese Independent Army would not have With the current scale, Sun Bin still has a good opinion of West, which was the weapon sold to the Chinese Independent Army.
"No, you exchange money and mines for weapons, don't thank us." West shook his head.
"This foreign devil can't even hear polite words, and it's still pretty bad." Sun Bin scorned in his heart, but his face was still smiling: Mr. Hoffman, Colonel West, I want to let your soldiers help you carry weapons, May I?
"Thank you very much for your kindness." Huffman simply accepted Sun Bin's kindness and sent a subordinate to lead the Chinese soldiers to carry weapons.
"Mr. Sun, I'm curious that you can defeat tens of thousands of Peruvian regulars with a group of laborers. How did you do that?" When West came to trade, I heard Huffman talk about the Chinese expansion process, so I was curious. Asked.
"Oh, we defeated the Peruvians under the leadership of Shizi. Shizi is a great leader. Under Shizi's leadership, we have never failed." Sun Bin said with a smile, with an expression of worship on his face.
"Your son is a wise and wise general, and I want to meet him," West said earnestly.
Prussian military atmosphere is strong. For a general who leads his men under constant adversity, West admires such people from the heart.
"If the colonel wants to see the son, I can introduce him for the colonel." Before Sun Bin came, Li Mingyuan told him to have a good relationship with the Prussians, because after the founding of the country, there are still many aspects that need to cooperate with Prussia.
"That's okay. After the arms trade is completed, you and I will see your son."
"It's all about one word." ...
