"Captain, is this little foreigner any good? Seeing how his eyes widen when he sees money, why do I think our money will go down the drain?"

Matthew Wen was very worried about this foreigner.

He has never had contact with foreign countries before, and he does not know much about foreigners, so he must have some resistance in his heart.

"As long as you like money, what I'm most afraid of is that he has no desires or demands." Zhao Zhiguo said, "It's not a bad habit to like money."

Money is a very vulgar thing, but there are very few people in this world who don't like money.

"That's right!"

"If he can't do it, I will only lose one gold bar, which is still within the price I can bear."

Zhao Zhiguo used his own money.

"If we can get the equipment we want and rely on Pingcheng's advantages, wouldn't we be able to produce 20,000 rounds of ammunition per day?"

Matthew Wen felt like he was about to wake up laughing from his dream.

In the past, their weapons and bullets mainly came from two sources: one was from seizures, and the other was from picking up bullet casings and then going back to refill them.

If you can produce 20,000 rounds of ammunition per day, you will indeed transform from a beggar to Jack Ma or Wang Jianlin overnight.

"It's too small!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

"What's too small?"

"The layout has become smaller. Bingzhou Arsenal can imitate Thompson submachine guns, Japanese mountain cannons and artillery shells. In addition to aircraft in the sky and tanks on the ground, we can make whatever weapons you want," Zhao Zhiguo said.

They all look forward to being able to make their own weapons, so that the soldiers no longer have to carry swords and spears to fight against the Japanese army who are armed to the teeth.

"I wish I could see our own tanks galloping around."

"It's not possible now. Our defense area is too small and is completely within the bombing range of Japanese aircraft. There are too many tanks and will become a living target for the Japanese army."

Zhao Zhiguo and his team's entire defense area was within the firepower range of Japanese aircraft.

It's just that most of the Japs' air power is now deployed to southern China.

"That's right. A tank can never outrun an airplane. If the Japanese army drops a bomb, the tank's armor will not be able to protect it."

Matthew has experienced the power of aerial bombs. The power of the explosion is definitely unstoppable to tanks.

"You once told Deputy Commander Xu that there is a talent studying aerodynamics in the south, right?" Matthew said.

"There is indeed one person, his surname is Qian, he has a Ph.D. from MIT and is an expert in aerodynamics. What he has in his head is top-notch in the world," Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Can you invite him?"

If there really is such a powerful person who can build an airplane, he will give him whatever he wants.

"He is now a colonel in the Central Military Army!"

"Central Army?"

"Yes." Zhao Zhiguo nodded.

In fact, Zhao Zhiguo doesn't know whether he has the ability to change history.

Because this man named Qian did come back from abroad with the intention of serving the motherland.

The purpose of his return was naturally to build China's own aircraft so that China could have its own air force.

However, the money raised to build the aircraft was embezzled by a group of grandsons of the Central Army, and the money that came into his hands was only a few hundred yuan.

In his last breath, he returned to the other side of the ocean and never returned to his country.

If you want to recruit such talents, you can't just say a few nice words.

"Is it very difficult?" Matthew continued to ask.

"It's very big, and poaching it is more difficult than building an airplane ourselves."

Even though the Central Army's side was full of chaos, he was still a colonel, ate imperial food, and had coordination and funding from various parties, so he was indeed better off financially than Zhao Zhiguo and the others.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Zhiguo and others have a very good reputation, but they still survive in the cracks of the Japanese army.

"How about forget it? Without Butcher Zhang, we still have to eat pigs with hair on them?"

Matthew Wen was worried that Zhao Zhiguo would be leaving. Not to mention that he would have to pass through dangerous enemy-occupied areas. If the Central Army found out, Zhao Zhiguo would definitely be detained.

"To be honest, putting such talents in the Central Army would be a waste, and I am not willing to do so!"

If Matthew knew that with this person, China's aircraft would be able to dominate the entire Asia in ten years, he would not be content unless he poached him.

"How about making a report to the headquarters first? Let the headquarters arrange for someone to contact him?"

"Well... sure, if there is a chance, I will bring someone to kidnap him directly."

"Are you really going to use force?"

It was the first time that Matthew Wen saw Zhao Zhiguo being so crazy about Chinese people.

However, Zhao Zhiguo understands very well that a country's air power is too important.

The quality of an airplane can completely determine a country's status in the world.

"Don't worry, if I think about it, I will definitely report the matter to the headquarters."

Bringing a person back will allow China's aircraft technology to develop decades earlier, and allow China to usher in better long-term peace and stability.

Even if he violated discipline, Zhao Zhiguo would still try to kidnap people in the Central Army.

"I'll write the report. Maybe things will go smoother than we thought."

Matthew Wen watched the changes in Zhao Zhiguo's expression. He knew the importance of the person Zhao Zhiguo was talking about.

In fact, Zhao Zhiguo is also worried. After all, we are now cooperating against Japan, and poaching people may cause trouble at any time, making the already fragile cooperative relationship hostile again.

The next day, a telegram from the Jinsui Army was received in Pingcheng.

Within today, the special commissioner sent by the Central Army and Qiu Zian, the liaison secretary of the Shanxi-Sui Army, will arrive in Pingcheng, and Zhao Zhiguo's troops will be responsible for the security work.

"It's said that Cao Cao has arrived. We do know Qiu Zian. What does this special commissioner of the Central Army mean?" Tian Kezhi asked.

When Zhao Zhiguo and others eliminated a Japanese regiment for the first time, Qiu Zian was ordered to go to Anyang Town.

They had a good impression of Qiu Zian. Although he was with Mr. Yan, he did not suffer from Mr. Yan's temper.

Moreover, Qiu Zian had secretly assisted Bingzhou's underground personnel when they contacted the technical staff of Bingzhou Military Factory.

Qiu Zian did not tell Mr. Yan about contacting the technical staff.

Zhao Zhiguo almost mistakenly thought that Qiu Zian was the person they placed next to Mr. Yan.

"They're not here to ask us for military factory equipment, are they?"

Matthew Wen looked as if other children were trying to snatch the candy from his hand.

The current arsenal is really the treasure of the independent regiment. Anyone who dares to take advantage of the arsenal, Matthew Wen is the first to refuse.

"Political Commissar, you are too nervous. Even if Mr. Yan himself comes, he is too embarrassed to ask for this batch of equipment. Does he really think I hold a grudge?" Zhao Zhiguo said.

Even if Mr. Yan himself stood in front of Zhao Zhiguo, Zhao Zhiguo would dare to say "no" to him!

The love and hatred between Zhao Zhiguo and Mr. Yan is probably only understood by those who have experienced it together.

"This is what Mr. Yan owes us, so we can charge some interest."
