Chapter 13: A large yellow croaker, to give the militia some pay.



A grove of trees on the southern hillside of Songta Town.

Lin Feng leaned against a large tree, his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.

"Commander, should we send the brothers from the Second and Third Battalions to go around to the rear?"

"If Zhang Shide double-crosses us, we'll take over Songta Town!"

Battalion Commander Zhang Xiaowu stood aside and offered suggestions to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and said calmly, "No need. We're here to do business. There's no need to cause trouble. Besides, Zhang Shide isn't stupid. He would never turn against us under these circumstances."

He knew that Zhang Shide must have made a lot of money from the last arms deal.

Right now, they can't wait to send the weapons over!

"Yes, Commander, I understand."

Zhang Xiaowu responded.

About two minutes later, footsteps could be heard coming from a distance.

"They're here!"

Lin Feng turned his head and saw Zhang Shide appear in the grove with his adjutant Wang and a dozen guards.

Zhang Shide walked over, his face beaming, and said, "Brother Chen? What brings you to my Songta Town?"

"You don't actually want to do arms deals with me, Zhang, do? I'll definitely support you!"

He reached out and pulled Lin Feng's arm, feigning enthusiasm.

Lin Feng shifted his body to the side, avoiding Zhang Shide's groping hands.

Zhang Shide awkwardly withdrew his hand, but inwardly sneered, "Pretentious bastard, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

But he still wore a smile on his face.

Lin Feng glanced at Zhang Shide and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang, I almost lost my life last time, it scared me to death!"

"Oh dear, it's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

Zhang Shide quickly patted Lin Feng on the shoulder: "Brother Chen, don't mention it. I didn't think things through last time. This time you've brought hundreds of people with you, how could I dare to have any ulterior motives towards you again?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together vigorously.

The meaning is already very clear.

He needs the goods.

Lin Feng nodded and pulled him aside.

Zhang Shide asked in a low voice, "Brother, how much weaponry did you get this time?"

"Do you have a Type 92 heavy machine gun? A Type 11 light machine gun? And a Type 94 90mm mortar?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Yes, of course! But you're being a bit unfair, brother. A big yellow croaker is worth eight hundred silver dollars. You ripped me off quite a bit last time."

"Well……"

Zhang Shide's face twitched, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

But the thought of weapons made him forget his embarrassment.

With a smile, he said, "Brother, as long as this batch of goods is the same as last time, don't worry, Zhang Shide will make up the price difference for you, and I'll give you two big yellow croakers as compensation!"

"Hehe! No problem!"

Lin Feng nodded with a smile: "Then it's a deal!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Shide couldn't wait to ask, "Brother, how much weaponry have you prepared this time?"

"100 Type 11 light machine guns, 80 Type 94 90mm light mortars, and 40 Type 92 heavy machine guns."

? ? ? ? ?

!! !! !!

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhang Shide's eyes widened in disbelief. He wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

Last time, it was only 40 Type 96 light machine guns, 20 mortars, and 5 heavy machine guns.

This time the price increased several times over, and it should be noted that heavy machine guns and mortars are in high demand on the black market.

Heavy machine guns, in particular, are something that all armed groups need.

Zhang Shide never expected that Lin Feng would actually procure a full 100 Type 11 light machine guns, 80 Type 94 90mm light mortars, and 40 Type 92 heavy machine guns!

He excitedly grabbed Lin Feng's arm and said with a beaming smile, "Brother, you're truly my lucky charm!"

After saying that, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Lin Feng.

"Want one?"

"Um."

Lin Feng took the cigarette, and the two sat down to one side, smoking and chatting.

"Brother Zhang, business is about long-term, steady progress, not a one-off deal!"

Zhang Shide nodded quickly, "That's right, that's right."

"To be honest, brother, I've had a lot of people asking me to do arms deals lately, and I've been looking for the right buyers."

Lin Feng's words contained a hidden meaning.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shide immediately understood Lin Feng's meaning: "Brother, do you think the price is too low?"

"Don't you think it's low?"

Lin Feng countered with a question.

Zhang Shide felt a sudden pang of pain, his heart aching terribly.

But the thought of making a fortune from arms sales made him grit his teeth and say, "Fine! Bro!"

"In that case, I'll give you 420 silver dollars for each Type 94 90mm light mortar, 950 silver dollars for each Type 92 heavy machine gun."

"Isn't this price good?"

Zhang Shide looked at Lin Feng, waiting for him to nod in agreement.

Lin Feng chuckled and said, "Brother Zhang is straightforward!"

"Shall we make the deal now?" Zhang Shide asked quickly.

"Um."

Lin Feng didn't waste any time. He waved his hand, and Zhang Xiaowu led the soldiers to move the weapons.

Lieutenant Wang, meanwhile, was using a small notebook to record the number of transactions and calculate the transaction amount.

Seeing so many weapons being brought out, Zhang Shide was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling.

"Commander, the items are all new and there's no problem with them."

After finishing his inspection, Wang, the adjutant, whispered in Zhang Shide's ear, "100 Type 94 light mortars cost 100 silver dollars, 80 Type 94 90mm light mortars cost 100 silver dollars, and 40 Type 92 heavy machine guns cost 60,000 silver dollars. That's a total of 100 silver dollars."
