Chapter 327 Equipment Do You Want It?
After Dio and the others left, Lu Chen immediately replied to Franklin, saying that he had taken over the road construction project. Then, after a period of bargaining, he secured a considerable loan for himself.
After talking to Franklin, Lu Chen immediately began to prepare for the road construction. He first found Fei Fuli and consulted him about the construction team. As for why he consulted Fei Fuli. I believe everyone knows that those who are engaged in construction will have some social nature. They must have some relationship with the local police station. So consulting Fei Fuli, the chief of the police, on this matter will definitely get a good candidate.
After learning about Lu Chen's needs, Fei Fuli recommended a construction team called Alpha to him. After thanking Fei Fuli, Lu Chen immediately contacted the Alpha construction team. After a period of negotiation over the price, they finally outsourced the road construction.
Then Lu Chen began his life of going between the construction site and home.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed, and Lu Chen's road had been repaired for one-third of the distance. One day, Lu Chen had just returned home from get off work and was about to take his work clothes covered in yellow mud to wash. Hans ran in hurriedly and said to Lu Chen:
"Boss, the little day of the second confinement in the mountain has come. Do you want to meet him?"
Lu Chen said in surprise at first.
"Who? Shan Zhong Er Bi! What is he doing here?"
Then he frowned and thought for a while before saying to Hans:
"Take him to the hall first, I'll see him later."
After saying that, Lu Chen took off his dirty clothes, went to the bathroom to wash his clothes, changed into a clean suit and went to the hall.
As soon as Lu Chen walked into the hall, Shanzhong Erbi stood up and said to Lu Chen:
"Mr. Lu, you are finally back."
Lu Chen looked at the two walls of the mountain with some confusion.
"Why, Mr. Yamanaka, you came early?"
Shan Zhong Er Bi said quickly: "It's not that early. I just came to your house an hour before you."
Lu Chen said "Oh" and then asked, "Mr. Yamanaka, what are you doing here this time?"
Shanzhong Erbi said: "I came here this time to ask Lu Chen to do us a favor."
"us?"
Lu Chen looked at Shanzhong Erbi with some confusion, not understanding who the "we" Shanzhong Erbi was talking about.
Seeing Lu Chen looking at him with a puzzled look, Shan Zhong Er Bi explained:
“It’s our organization.”
"What organization?"
Lu Chen looked at Shan Zhong Erbi without quite understanding.
"The Yamaguchi-gumi?"
Yamanaka Nibi quickly waved his hands and said, "It's not the Yamaguchi-gumi. I left the Yamaguchi-gumi a long time ago. I'm in the military now."
"What kind of organization are you talking about? The military? What does your military need my help with?"
Lu Chen picked up a cigar, lit it and asked.
Yamanaka Nibi still shook his head and said, "It's not the military either. I joined the organization founded by General Araki."
Lu Chen pondered for a while before remembering who this General Araki might be. He asked tentatively:
"Are you talking about Araki Maki?"
Yamanaka Erbi nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, it is General Araki Mafu. Lu Chen, do you know him too?"
Lu Chen thought to himself, you must know him, he was the leader of the Xiao Ri Zi Huang Dao faction, and then he failed in the factional struggle.
Thinking of the Imperial Way Faction, Lu Chen couldn't help but think of their ideas. They advocated that the Emperor should rule the country personally, defeat Big Bear, and dominate Blue Star. It's a pity that they failed in the end. If the people of the Imperial Way Faction were allowed to rule the country, and Xiao Zizi had to fight Big Bear first, Lu Chen thought it would be very good. However, there are not many people in power in the Imperial Way Faction. The top leaders are only Araki Mafu and Mazaki Saburo. The rest are mostly small military officers at the middle and lower levels. They can't fight against the ruling faction supported by the chaebols.
Lu Chen felt a little regretful. If the two sides were evenly matched, he could support the people of the Imperial Way faction and watch them get beaten up by the big bear.
Lu Chen glanced at Shan Zhong Er Bi, somewhat curious about what the people of the Imperial Way Sect wanted him to do for them. Although these people of the Imperial Way Sect were destined to fail, he could still take advantage of them while they still had some real power.
"I don't know what you want me to do for you, Mr. Yamanaka."
Shan Zhong Er Bi said a little embarrassedly: "This... this... this is that we are short of funds."
Lu Chen was somewhat speechless. He was still short of funds. He had to take out a loan to build the road, and now he had to pay for it. Lu Chen asked in some embarrassment:
"How much money are you going to ask for?"
Shan Zhong Er Bi said: "We don't want much, just a few million dollars will do."
Lu Chen felt like hitting someone after hearing this. Damn, with millions of dollars, why don’t you go rob the US treasury? Does he know what millions of dollars can do? You can buy more than a hundred planes. Lu Chen quickly said:
"Mr. Yamanaka, I'm also very short of money. All my money is now used to build warships for the empire. How can I have any money left?"
Shanzhong Erbi saw that Lu Chen was reluctant to give the money. He couldn't help but get anxious. He had promised his boss that he would definitely get the money. He hurriedly said:
"Lu Chen, you have nearly 100 million in assets in the United States. A few million shouldn't be a big deal for you."
Lu Chen curled his lips and said, "Damn it! I have assets worth over 100 million, but not cash."
"Mr. Yamanaka, you also said that it is an asset. Not cash. Who would keep so much cash on them?"
Lu Chen said in a speechless voice. After that, Lu Chen was a little curious about why the people of the Imperial Dao Sect wanted so much money. Are they going to buy people's hearts? If they want to buy people's hearts, they don't have to use money, anything else should be fine. And it doesn't make much sense to use money to buy people in high positions. With so much power, how can they be short of money?
Lu Chen asked with some confusion: "Mr. Yamanaka, you want so much money, what are you going to do?"
Shanzhong Erbi was very disappointed when he heard that Lu Chen did not have so much money. He thought that it would take a long time for the people of the Black Dragon Society to collect millions of dollars in East Asia. Hearing Lu Chen's question, Shanzhong Erbi said casually:
"General Araki wanted to build a few new infantry divisions, but the people in the cabinet simply refused to allocate money to us. So we decided to raise money for the expansion ourselves."
After hearing this, Lu Chen cursed in his heart: Damn, you still want to expand your army. Are you really going to kill Big Bear?
But when he heard that it was not to win people's hearts, Lu Chen's mind became active. He thought that Xiao Rizi was going to expand its army, and whether he could get a share of the armaments. For example, the rifles and machine guns he produced. Could he sell some to Xiao Rizi?
At this point, some students may say that Lu Chen is helping the enemy by selling weapons to Xiao Rizi. But what I want to say is that Xiao Rizi used the Type 16 rifle until the end of World War II in order to save some costs. The armor of the small bean-shaped armor is only mm, which can't even stop a machine gun with a stronger penetration. If the automatic rifle is sold to them, it can only serve as a facade. Xiao Rizi doesn't have so many bullets for the automatic rifle.
If Xiaori really equipped semi-automatic rifles on a large scale, Lu Chen thought it would be a good thing. In this way, when the war breaks out, Xiaori will not have so many resources to build airplanes and cannons. Then there won't be so many deaths in China.
You have to know that it is not rifles that kill the most people on the battlefield. Most people are killed by heavy weapons such as cannons and airplanes.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but say to Shan Zhong Erbi:
"To expand the army, do you want the armaments? I have several military factories and can sell you a batch of weapons and equipment."
