Chapter 177 Shocked by Yang Jiakai's Generous Dowry, the Wedding is Official
Looking down, the shocked and delighted expression on Yang Jiakai's face became more and more obvious. Looking at the envious expressions of Jiang Dapao and Duan Jinshu beside him, they even wanted to turn Su Zhengyang into their son-in-law. Unfortunately, they had no daughter, so it was destined to be just a luxury.
“道奇WC51军用吉普车200辆，道奇WC53军官指挥车30辆，道奇WF-32军用卡车200辆，汽油600吨。”
“克虏伯75mm山炮288门，克虏伯105MM榴弹炮108门，150MM重型榴弹炮36门。”
"360 sidecar motorcycles, 10 French Renault light tanks, and 221 Sd.kfz. light reconnaissance armored vehicles."
"Supporting bullets, shells, and wooden-handled grenades."
It took Yang Jiakai a quarter of an hour to finally finish reading the list in his hand. Su Zhengyang was very sincere. From imported rifles to light and heavy machine guns, to artillery, cars, and even armored vehicles, which are the most lacking in major domestic warlord forces.
Especially for artillery, 75MM mountain artillery is extremely common, but 105MM howitzers are difficult to get. As for 150MM heavy howitzers, except for the problem of mobility, they are absolutely killer weapons on the battlefield. Previously, Yang Jiakai proposed to the Bird Empire to purchase a batch of 150MM heavy howitzers at the price of one ocean, and the shells had to be purchased separately, but the Bird Empire rejected it without hesitation.
As for the large number of jeeps, trucks, command vehicles, sidecars, and even armored vehicles, these are not something the current domestic regime can even hope for.
It is true that on the streets of Shanghai, one can see celebrities and even gang leaders riding in cars to show off their status, but in reality, vehicles that can be used by combat troops are extremely scarce, resulting in extremely poor mobility of the combat troops under the command of the major warlord forces in the country.
"Okay, okay, okay! I, Yang Jiakai, really didn't make a mistake about you. Zhengyang, you are really a good son-in-law of my Yang family. With such a large amount of military equipment, you must be under a lot of pressure."
In the opinion of Yang Jiakai and others, the price of this batch of military equipment is at least worth more than 60 million oceans. Even for Su Zhengyang, who has a wealthy family, it must be a huge effort to take out such a large number of arms.
After all, Heping Company is not Su Zhengyang's biological father. It is reasonable to provide free assistance in the early stage, but no one will believe it if it does not charge any fees in the later stage.
"Brother Yang, can we discuss something?"
Jiang Dapao rubbed his hands nervously, stared at Yang Jiakai and said, "Can you give me some of the profits from this 150mm caliber heavy artillery? Not too much, twelve is enough, and I won't let you give it away for free, I'll buy it for 3 yuan a piece."
The 119th Artillery Brigade of the Northeastern Army under Jiang Dapao had a large number of artillery pieces, but there were only a dozen or so 150MM heavy artillery pieces in the entire brigade, which they had obtained with great effort. When looking at the list in Yang Jiakai's hand, they were like a cat seeing fish, with their eyes shining with excitement.
"Go, go, go. I have to tell you two in advance that this is the betrothal gift my son-in-law gave to our Yang family. No one can take a share of it. Wait for Zhengyang to act as a middleman. We can use him to buy a batch of arms and equipment we want from the Heping Company."
Seeing that Yang Jiakai's attitude was very firm, Jiang Yanlin and Duan Jinshu looked at each other and immediately came to Su Zhengyang.
"Zhengyang, how does your Uncle Jiang treat you? You have to pay attention and find a way to buy Uncle Jiang a batch of heavy machine guns and heavy artillery with a caliber of 105 or above from the Heping Company. The more the better. I will buy them at a price % higher than the market price."
"Zhengyang, I have no other requirements. Our Duan troops are in great need of artillery of various calibers and military trucks. Please take the trouble to get some for Uncle Duan from the Heping Company. The price is negotiable..."
Seeing that his pretentious moment had turned into an arms sales negotiation, Yang Jiakai coughed twice in dissatisfaction, and then said: "We can discuss these matters after the wedding. You are all Zhengyang's elders, can he not help you find a solution?"
Yang Jiakai's words were equivalent to putting Su Zhengyang on the spot, but it was exactly what Su Zhengyang wanted. This astonishing number of arms was actually only a small part of the large amount of equipment currently accumulated in the warehouse of the Northwest Revolutionary Army. A considerable portion of the arms from the large number of task rewards given by the system before were still gathering dust in the warehouse.
Of course, as the Northwest Revolutionary Army continues to expand, the gap in firearms, ammunition, and all kinds of munitions will certainly become larger and larger, but Su Zhengyang is already prepared to gradually replace the main forces, such as the original three combat divisions of the Northwest Revolutionary Army, with more advanced MG42 general-purpose machine guns to replace the current complicated light and heavy machine guns, and replace their submachine guns with Chicago typewriters in the system mall, and carry out a series of unified updates and iterations.
The equipment they replaced can be given to new recruits in training first. As Su Zhengyang continues to obtain new system points, it won't be long before the entire army's equipment will be replaced. By then, these replaced Maxims, Czech light machine guns, and the Type 88 committee rifles that have been accumulated in large quantities but never used from beginning to end can be slowly dumped out, bringing more development funds to the Northwest Revolutionary Army.
It seemed that Su Zhengyang was very generous in giving such a valuable betrothal gift, but in fact, he also had his own purpose. First, this batch of valuable equipment won the joy and attention of his future father-in-law. Second, this batch of equipment would eventually be equipped in the Yang family's six direct troops. When he became the son-in-law of the Yang family, the so-called six towns in the northern border would sooner or later be integrated into his own Northwest Revolutionary Army. Third, the advertising effect was simply unparalleled. Just look at the excitement of Jiang Dapao and Duan Jinshu.
In the future, Su Zhengyang will definitely make a lot of cash from them.
Of course, the people to whom Su Zhengyang sells arms will also undergo strict screening. Currently, he will only focus his sales targets on his close allies. This will prevent the arms he sells from hitting his soldiers one day.
After a whole day of busy work, a large number of soldiers finally finished unloading the goods. This time, many high-ranking officials of the Northwest Revolutionary Army, such as Tang Zhengqi, followed Li Yunlong and rushed to Beilong City to attend Su Zhengyang's wedding.
As the arms sent by Su Zhengyang filled up the warehouses of the six towns in Northern Xinjiang in Beilong City, some gossip also spread. When the guests who came to attend the wedding heard that Su Zhengyang was actually giving a large amount of arms as a betrothal gift to the Yang family, they were all stunned with surprise. This truly set an unprecedented precedent.
