Chapter 205: Is Hongmen preparing for war?
After Lu Chen finished speaking, Wu Xuance smiled and said to Lu Chen:
"Brother Lu Chen, actually, I came here this time because I also have something I want to ask you for help with."
Lu Chen had just received Wu Xuance's promise and was very happy. He said with a smile:
"What's the matter, Gang Leader Wu, tell me and see if I can help you."
Wu Xuance said: "Brother Lu Chen, you can definitely help us."
"Then just tell me. If you don't, I don't know how to help you."
Wu Xuance said: "We at Red Gate would like to buy another batch of weapons and ammunition from Brother Lu Chen."
It turned out that they were looking for me to buy arms. Lu Chen smiled and said:
"I see. How much are you planning to buy this time?"
Wu Xuance said: "We need 10,000 rifles, 200 mortars, 200 heavy machine guns, and 10 bases of bullets."
Lu Chen was a little frightened. With so many weapons and ten bases of ammunition, what was Hongmen preparing for? Was it preparing for a war?
Lu Chen swallowed his saliva and asked, "Boss Wu, can I ask, you want so many weapons and ammunition, are you planning to fight a war?"
Wu Xuance thought for a moment, then said, "Since you asked, Brother Lu Chen, I won't hide it from you. You are right. We are indeed preparing to fight a war."
When Lu Chen heard the news, he was stunned. Damn, they really have to fight with others. Lu Chen thought about the forces that might fight with the Red Gate group. He thought it should not be in the United States. If it is not in the United States, then the most likely place is in Southeast Asia.
Lu Chen thought back to the history he knew. It seemed that there was no record of Red Gate fighting with that force. This made him curious. He was curious about whether Red Gate was going to go to war with that force.
Lu Chen asked in a low voice: "Boss Wu, can you tell me which force you are going to fight with? You brought so many weapons over, I guess the scale of this war will not be too small."
Wu Xuance said: "In fact, Brother Lu Chen, if you go to Nanyang and ask around, you will know that we are going to fight that war."
Lu Chen was surprised. Is it such a big deal? I'll know if I ask around. Why don't I know about it until now? Lu Chen smiled and said:
"I'm not in Nanyang now. Since I can find out, it shouldn't be a secret. Gang Leader Wu, if you tell me directly, there shouldn't be any problem."
Wu Xuance smiled and said, "Since Brother Lu Chen wants to know, I will tell you. We are fighting with the locals in Jakarta."
Yadaga, isn't that the territory of East India? That is Indonesia in the future. The people of Hongmen are actually fighting here, and they are fighting with those locals. Lu Chen has to support this. Damn, these locals are not good people. They should be severely taught a lesson.
"So it's in the Dutch East Indies. OK, I'll have someone send a telegram right away and ask the factory in the Philippines to prepare the weapons. When they're ready, I'll notify you, Boss Wu. Then you can arrange for someone to pick up the goods."
Wu Xuance immediately said, "Thank you so much. Brother Lu Chen, please calculate how much money you want and I will have someone send it to you."
Lu Chen said, "Ten thousand rifles, still at the last price. That's 350,000 yuan. Mortars are more expensive. We need 1,200. Two hundred is 240,000. Maxim, one is 800, two hundred is 160,000.
Rifle bullets, one base number is 60 rounds, ten base numbers are 600 rounds. Ten base numbers of rifles are sections of million rounds. "
Lu Chen paused for a moment after calculating here. Damn, there were so many bullets. Lu Chen didn't even know if his factory had so many rifle bullets. He said to Wu Xuance awkwardly:
"Boss Wu, you want too many rifle bullets. I don't know if my factory has that many bullets. How about this, I'll give you one million bullets first, okay?"
Wu Xuance was also shocked by the number of six million. He was just following the list given to him by Old Hong. He had no idea about the number of bullets in a basic number. It was not until now, when he heard Lu Chen's calculation, that he knew how many bullets a rifle had in a basic number.
He quickly said, "Okay, give us one million rifle bullets first."
Lu Chen nodded and continued, "One base of mortar shells is 120 rounds, ten bases are 1200 rounds, a total of rounds. Each shell is five yuan, a total of .
The Maxim heavy machine gun has a base of 1000 rounds, and 1 bases of rounds, for a total of million rounds, or .
The total cost of this arms shipment is $240 million.”
After Lu Chen finished the calculation, he gave a thumbs up to Hongmen in his heart. Damn, with so many shells, those locals would probably be blown to pieces. Hongmen was preparing to grind them to dust.
But Wu Xuance had another thought after hearing this. Damn, this is too expensive. Two million and four hundred thousand, if this amount of money is used to improve the lives of the brothers, I guess everyone can eat meat for every meal. He thought for a while and said:
"Brother Lu Chen, this is too expensive. Can you please give me a little less?"
Lu Chen thought about it and decided to support the fight against the locals in the Dutch East Indies. The cost of this batch of weapons was only about one million yuan. If he gave less, he would earn less. If the Red Gate could gain a foothold in the Dutch East Indies now, there would be no large-scale anti-Chinese incidents there, and there would not be so many Chinese killed.
After thinking carefully for a while, Lu Chen said:
"Boss Wu, I can give you a discount on this batch of arms, but I have a request."
Wu Xuance immediately said, "Brother Lu Chen, if you have any requests, just let us know. We will try our best to satisfy them."
Lu Chen said, "My request is actually very simple. I just don't want these weapons to pass through the hands of Wei Zhengyi. Well, let me be frank. I don't want my weapons to appear in the Philippines. Gang Leader Wu, can you do this?"
Wu Xuance immediately said, "Brother Lu Chen, you can rest assured this time. We will never let a single bullet appear in the Philippines."
Lu Chen asked, "How can you guarantee that Wei Zhengyi will not detain another batch of weapons?"
Wu Xuance said: "I will go to the Philippines to pick up the weapons myself this time. Then I will escort them to Jakarta. We didn't intend to let Wei Zhengyi and his men touch these weapons this time."
Hearing that this batch of weapons would not pass through Wei Zhengyi's hands, Lu Chen felt relieved. If Wei Zhengyi used so much heavy firepower in this batch of weapons to deal with him again, he would definitely not be able to deal with them as easily as last time.
Lu Chen smiled and said to Wu Xuance:
"In that case, I'll give you a 192% discount. The final price of this batch of weapons is 20 million. In addition, for the million rounds of ammunition other than the rifles, I only want US dollars from you. After I hand over the bullets to you, you can pay the US dollars."
"In that case, thank you so much, Brother Lu Chen."
