Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Chapter 106: Dongchuan Army Gets Rich Overnight

Liu Xiangnong was speechless when he heard his commander's words. He didn't know how Fan Shaozeng came up with the idea of ​​grabbing credit.

Wang Hongchang took the battleship so far not only to put pressure on the Sakura Kingdom, but also to clear obstacles for the Dongchuan Army.

Those coastal defense forts and coastal towns were destroyed by battleships. It would be easier for the Dongchuan Army to attack there in the future and occupy them.

This is clearing the way for the Dongchuan Army. How come it turns into a grab for credit when it comes to Fan Shaozeng?

Liu Xiangnong wanted to explain to Fan Shaozeng, but when he thought of Fan Shaozeng's bad temper, he felt that he could wait a little longer.

At this time, a messenger quickly ran to Fan Shaozeng.

"Reporting to the commander, a businessman just said that there are weapons and ammunition prepared for us by the prince at the No. [-] warehouse in Hucheng Port. Let us go and receive them now!"

"Ge Lao... cough cough cough..." Fan Shaozeng had just half of a mantra popping out of his mouth, but then he thought that the other person seemed to be a prince. It was disrespectful to say so.

So, he swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly.

"You're such a bastard, why are you waiting for a ball? Why don't you send an order and let the brothers go to Warehouse No. [-] to collect the equipment?"

"Where is the quartermaster? Let him receive the equipment as soon as possible, and then distribute the equipment to the brothers!"

"Tell him, slow down, I'll hang him on the flagpole!" Fan Shaozeng said with some excitement.

Fan Shaozeng believed that his Dongchuan Army was no worse than other local armies. The only weakness was its weapons.

Due to his conflict with the military, the military has not replaced equipment for the Dongchuan Army for many years. Many of the weapons currently used by the Dongchuan Army are old-fashioned weapons.

There was no artillery, even the bullets for daily training, Fan Shaozeng asked people from Pao Gehui to help solve the problem.

Unlike now, the Hankou Arsenal provided them with two million rounds of ammunition, military uniforms and some 37-caliber combat anti-aircraft guns.

Prince Rui also provided him with a large amount of equipment and ammunition.

Fan Shaozeng heard that Prince Rui had prepared more than two hundred 75-caliber Schneider artillery pieces for him, as well as a certain number of heavy machine guns and light machine guns.

Besides a few, I heard there were surprises waiting for him.

At this time, Fan Shaozeng was already a little impatient.

"Commander, the quartermaster has already passed by, I'm here to inform you." The messenger also said with a smile on his face.

"Brother Ge, what are you waiting for? Let's go, Xiangnong, come with me to see what good things the prince has prepared for us!" Fan Shaozeng touched his bald head and immediately headed towards the so-called Walk to Warehouse No. [-].

When Fan Shaozeng came to Warehouse No. [-] and saw the weapons and ammunition in the warehouse, he stood on the spot.

He swore that in all his years as a soldier, he had never seen so many weapons and ammunition.

Looking at the brand-new 98K rifles and the 75-caliber mountain cannons, Fan Shaozeng felt like he was dreaming.

In addition to some guns and cannons he recognized, he also saw two strange guns.

"What kind of gun is this?" Fan Shaozeng pointed at a Maxim and asked the quartermaster next to him.

"Back to the Marshal, the person who handed over said that this is a Maxim heavy machine gun. As long as you keep pressing the trigger, you can keep firing!" The quartermaster looked at the information in his hand and introduced it to Fan Shaozeng.

"That one?" Fan Shaozeng asked, pointing to a ZB-26 light machine gun next to him.

"The commander's gun is a ZB-26 light machine gun. The gun is to supplement the firepower. It can be operated by one or two people and is a supplement to the heavy machine gun. However, the disadvantage is that the magazine has fewer bullets, only thirty rounds."

"Brother Ge, thirty rounds of ammunition is not enough for you, a turtle? You know my soldiers are going to fire out thirty rounds of ammunition now. It will take a long time!" Fan Shaozeng heard the quartermaster's words and immediately turned around and cursed.

"Take a gun, leave one for me, and give the rest to me!" Fan Shaozeng fell in love with this weapon immediately when he saw the ZB-26.

"Yes!" Upon hearing Fan Shaozeng's words, the quartermaster held Fan Shaozeng in his arms and saluted him with a military salute.

"Yeah, didn't you say that the prince has prepared a surprise for us? A surprise?" Fan Shaozeng suddenly thought of the surprise that the messenger had told him.

"Commander, we are at the edge." The quartermaster pointed in another direction and said to Fan Shaozeng.

"My dear, lead the way!" Fan Shaozeng raised his foot and kicked the quartermaster, but the quartermaster dodged it very lightly.

Although Fan Shaozeng sometimes had a bad temper, but now, it was obvious that he was in a good mood and did not care that the quartermaster avoided his kick.

After the quartermaster escaped Fan Shaozeng's kick, he did not waste any time and led Fan Shaozeng to a corner.

In the corner here, there is something that is tightly covered by a waterproof canvas.

"What the hell, it's so mysterious. Come on, lift up the canvas for me." Fan Shaozeng motioned to the quartermaster to lift up the canvas.

The quartermaster was also unambiguous. Although he knew what it was from the information, he had never seen it in person, and he was also very curious.

The quartermaster called over several logistics soldiers, and they worked together to lift the canvas.

Suddenly, the VZ-14, 149.1 caliber cannon appeared in front of everyone.

Looking at the ferocious muzzle, everyone present swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.

"Ge, what kind of cannon is it? Is the muzzle thick? It's a bit scary." Fan Shaozeng looked at the VZ-14's large muzzle and murmured dullly.

"Commander, Commander, from the information, this is a VZ-14 heavy howitzer, with a caliber of 149.1 and a gun weight of 2746 kilograms." At this time, the quartermaster didn't know what to say.

Such a big cannon is really scary.

"What? Less than three tons? You son of a bitch, are you cleaning the pot with me?" Fan Shaozeng said in surprise when he heard the quartermaster's words.

"Commander, I didn't rinse the jar. The information clearly stated that it was less than three tons." The quartermaster was also a little dumbfounded. This thing really only weighed more than 2700 kilograms and weighed less than three tons.

Fan Shaozeng ran over immediately after hearing the quartermaster's assurance. He hugged the VZ-14 heavy howitzer and even kissed the barrel.

"Oh, what belongs to me is really my heart and soul."

"Come on, come on, push all the cannons back to me! Wherever I go from now on, the cannons will follow me. Damn it, Leha, the Dongchuan Army has exchanged cannons for cannons."

"It's still a stupid cannon! Oops, I'm the darling of Mr. Ge." Fan Shaozeng said to the quartermaster while stroking the cannon.

When the quartermaster heard Fan Shaozeng's words, his face suddenly turned dark.

Although his own commander said that he would drag the cannon back to his headquarters, the quartermaster was not worried at all.

Based on his understanding of his commander, as soon as the battle starts, the commander will definitely be on the front line, and there is absolutely no way he can hide in a safe area dozens of kilometers away.

The artillery given to him is the same as the artillery given to the two divisions below.

What he was worried about was that with Fan Shaozeng's current distress about artillery, it might be difficult to convince the commander to fire artillery support when the time comes.
