Chapter 36: Finalize arms deal

After Li Mingyuan led the cavalry regiment, Sun Bin and Zhao Yan also set off for Baranga.
He first negotiated a small business with several countries in the Netherlands and Belgium, and then the two came to the Prussian business office in Baranga.
Prussians are rigorous in character and even build houses
Is also a simple and practical style. The Prussian Commercial Representative Office is a three-story castle building.
The exterior of the castle is well-defined, and the doors and windows and arcades are semi-circular, barrel-shaped or cross-vaulted, giving a thick, solid and stable feeling.
"Please inform Mr. Huffman that a representative of the Chinese Independent Army is here to visit." Sun Bin asked the gatekeeper of the Prussian guard in front of the castle.
"Wait a moment, I'll tell Mr. Huffman." After the guard said, he turned towards the castle,
"How sure is Brother Sun to persuade the Prussians to cooperate with us," Zhao Ting asked after the Prussian guards left.
"70% to 80% assurance, we want a lot of goods, and the Prussians will not give up the deal with us easily."
"Let the Prussians us with the navy keep it secret and not let anyone in other countries know."
"I will explain to them during negotiations." Sun Bin nodded.
"Two gentlemen, Mr. Huffman invites you in." Sun Bin and Zhao Ting said a few words, and the Prussian guard who guarded the door said.
Sun Bin, Zhao Ting followed the guard, bypassed more than a dozen rooms, and came to Huffman's office.
"What's wrong with the two gentlemen looking for me?" Entering the room, Huffman opened the door to see the mountain road.
Huffman is a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and thin, with a traditional Prussian beard and wearing a German trench coat.
I glanced at Huffman, and Sun Bin said, "Nothing can go to the Three Treasure Hall. I am here today to negotiate a big business with yours on behalf of the Chinese Independent Army."
"You've found the right place for business. Prussians have the highest credibility in doing business." Hoffman laughed.
"We need more supplies. This is the purchase list. Please take a look." Sun Bin handed the list.
Huffman glanced and said, "You need a lot of goods. I need to take time to arrange from other places. It will take at least a month for the items on the list to be shipped to Baranga."
"We waited for a month. The key is to ensure the quality of the weapons we need." Sun Bin said.
"You can rest assured about the quality of the weapons. What we do is a long-term business. We will not smash our own brand in order to make more money."
"We are now negotiating the price of weapons," Sun Bin said.
"Okay," Huffman sat down, pointing at the list. "Mauser breech guns are twenty-two silver each, 75 millimeter steel cannons are two hundred and two, and nine pound hill guns are one hundred and two. There are 822 machine guns.
The weapons you want to buy this time are 20,000 rifles, 300 pistols, 100 machine guns, 50 9-pound guns, 30 75-mm mountain cannons, 1 million rifle bullets, and 30,000 machine gun bullets. 2,000 rounds of nine-pound shells, five hundred rounds of twelve-pound shells, 100,000 sets of customized military uniforms, and 1,000 marching tents,
Add up the fractions and count your one million two silver. "
One million two silver, if converted into gold, it is twelve thousand, two thousand pounds of gold. Taking out so much money, all of a sudden the house of the Chinese Independent Army was emptied.
"Mr. Hoffman, we believe in your credit. Since you say one million two silvers, we will not bargain with you, but you must agree to one of our conditions."
Sun Bin listened to the price of one million two silver, and felt pain in his heart, but the money was spent for the future development of the Chinese Independent Army, so he would not be willing to spend the money.
"Please," Huffman said politely.
后 "After the transaction is completed, I would like you to send several warships to help our fleet escort."
"Mr. Sun, I cannot agree to your request. Prussia adheres to a neutral position and will not interfere in the war between you and the Peruvians."
Huffman thought that Sun Bin wanted the Prussian navy to help them beat the Peruvians, and decisively refused.
"Mr. Huffman has misunderstood. I have no intention of letting your army fight the Peruvians. I just want your army to our fleet and help us through the Pacific Rim."
"I can promise you then."
As long as you don't get involved in the war between the Chinese workers and the Peruvians, Huffman need not worry. As for the Chinese hiring the Prussian navy to the Pacific coast, Huffman thinks that the Chinese want to escape, so they simply agree.
呵 "Oh, thank you very much for your sincerity and congratulations on our successful cooperation."
完成 Successfully completed the task, Sun Bin was very happy, stood up with a smile and shook hands with Huffman.
"I am also very happy to cooperate with you, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate next time." Huffman shook hands.
"Looking forward to our next cooperation." Sun Bin said.
A Chinese figure emerged from the rugged Lake Titicaca and the clear, dark blue lake.
Chen Chen took a breath and said, "Shizi, there is no trace of the treasure in the lower part of the lake."
森 Chen Sen is a captain of the Chinese fleet, and he is deeply acquainted with water, so Li Mingyuan specially brought him a dozen underwater experts to explore the bottom of Titicaca.
"Call up your brethren, it won't go into the water today." Li Mingyuan was disappointed when no gold was found. UU Reading Books www.uukanshu.com
"Seiko, is the legend of the treasure true? The brethren searched and edited the place thirty miles away and found nothing."
After searching around Lake Titicaca for seven or eight days, no clues about the treasure were found, and Li Dawei was anxious.
"Treasure is not so easy to find, we search for two more days nearby, if we can't find it, we will go back." Li Mingyuan did not want to return without any effort, he said.
"Yes" knew that there would be another two days to find, and all the soldiers around him stepped back to rest.
Thirteen or fourteen Chinese Independence Army sailors gathered and talked under a forest on the rugged Lake Titicaca.
"Mr. Chen, after seven or eight days of searching, I haven't found a treasure yet. Is this treasure stolen by someone else?"
"I think it's possible. The Inca Empire has been dead for more than three hundred years. Treasures can't be hidden," said another soldier.
"Whether the treasure is still there or not, we wait two days at the request of Shizi." Chen Sen said.
"Boss, I believe the treasure is here."
噢 "Oh, why are you sure?" Chen Sen curious.
"I found a gold jewellery under the waterfall not far from Lake Titicaca today at noon today."
"Li Ergou, why didn't you hand in the gold?" Chen Sen said darkly.
"Boss, I'm not reporting to you as soon as I pick it up." Li Ergou laughed and took out the gold gesture, which was a bracelet made of gold.
"Your boy is very lucky, others haven't found anything, you just picked up gold." Chen Sen weighed 踮 the weight of the bracelet, about three or two.
"Boss, do you want to report to Shizi now?" Li Ergou said.
"Don't disturb Shizi first, let's go to the waterfall and find out about the whereabouts of the treasure before telling Shizi."
