Chapter 591: Forming a joint water force, the Ruan army stands up straight
Ruan Pan Fangxiu should be thankful that she took the initiative to come to Sun Moon City to discuss matters related to procurement.
We should also be thankful that Ding Wei is selecting the right people to help.
Whether it was because of tolerance or Zhang Dabiao's recommendation, Ruan Jun caught Ding Wei's attention.
This army is basically stationed in the northwestern mountainous area and has a relatively large say in this area.
Many things can be kept secret and done behind the scenes.
For example, Long State's vehicles are transporting rare earths in large quantities, and Ruan Jun can suppress this matter.
To be finalized through a formal trade event.
All the certificates and procedures are complete, one is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy, and no one can interfere.
If you want to put your hand in, there must be someone to take the lead in lubrication.
Let’s first see if Ruan Xiu can handle it.
That evening, Zhang Dabiao ordered people to prepare a dinner and specially invited Ruan Pan Fangxiu to attend.
I was a little flattered to learn that I was invited.
After all, Zhang Dabiao is the commander of the Southern Yunnan Corps, with 200,000 to 300,000 troops under his command, and he holds almost all the power in southern Yunnan.
Even if Ruan Kaitian came, he would not be qualified to show up in front of Zhang Dabiao.
Before the meeting, the female soldier was assigned separately and searched her from head to toe.
Make sure there are no listening devices.
Then someone led her to the reception room, opened the door, and motioned for her to go in by herself.
After walking through a long corridor, the light in the room became slightly dim.
All the windows were closed, but the room didn't feel stuffy.
Zhang Dabiao and Ding Wei were sitting there, listening to the sound of each other's high heels getting closer.
"Commander Zhang?"
Ruan Pan Fangxiu still recognized Zhang Dabiao. They had met and chatted a few times before, but they never spoke.
As for the person sitting next to Zhang Dabiao, he looks familiar. I wonder where I have seen him?
"Colonel Ruan, please take a seat."
Zhang Dabiao had no intention of getting up, but stretched out his hand to motion the other party to sit across the table.
Then he briefly introduced: "My boss is very interested in your army."
Only then did Ruan Xiu recognize him, Oh my God, isn’t this Commander Ding?
"Commander Ding, is that you?"
At the beginning, Ding Wei went to Beihouzi and brought a group of people with him to help form an army.
He also led the team in several small-scale offensive and defensive battles, stabilizing the Northern Monkeys' front line.
He was later transferred back to Manchuria, where his job was taken over by the brigade commander.
No wonder Ruan Pan Fangxiu felt that he looked familiar. She had just returned to China and had no qualifications to stand in front of Ding Wei.
Even though he has become a colonel through connections, he is still not qualified to talk to Ding Wei.
She won the jackpot simply because of an opportunity she saw by chance.
One important reason why people are willing to communicate with businessmen is that they have no bottom line and can give up many of their insistence for the sake of profit.
The secret conversation between the three ended quickly. After all, the Ruan army had only more than 10,000 people, which was not even a division in Ding Wei's hands.
The Northern Monkeys are not without people, what they lack is weapons and equipment.
As long as Ding Wei can provide a batch of weapons and equipment, Ruan’s army can quickly mobilize another 10,000 people.
The northwest and northern regions of the Red River need to be under the control of the Nguyen Army.
The northwest region is Ruan Kaitian's troops, but the northeastern region, the area around the Beibu Gulf, is another force.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to sell rare earth ore, Ding Wei can provide them with 20 MT52 tanks and 20 Polaris rocket launchers. This is provided free of charge, and the rest of the weapons, including mortars, light and heavy machines, 105mm howitzers, mules and horses, etc., need to be purchased by the Ruan army itself.
The price can be lowered slightly, making it easier for the Nguyen army to increase its strength.
In addition, we are considering selling a batch of automatic rifles, including 2000 automatic rifles, 2000 semi-automatic rifles, and 60 40mm mortars.
The rest of the heavy firepower weapons are basically impossible.
Automatic rifles can be used as submachine guns. If the other party still needs it, we can provide hundreds of PPSh submachine guns.
In the name of Nguyen Kai Thien's 11th Army, an upstream inland fleet was established, equipped with 21 small inland gunboats and formed into three formations.
Zhang Dabiao sent out two formations and Ruan Jun sent out one formation.
This type of gunboat is similar to the Japanese 20-ton gunboat, equipped with a 12.7mm heavy machine gun and a layer of armor protection.
It can be equipped with at most one 45mm gun, which makes it convenient to rush left and right in narrow rivers.
"This is the first batch of weapons compensation. I want to see the Nguyen army dominate the northern region."
"It will make it easier for my people to enter and exit the territory north of Yuanjiang River freely in the future."
"If you do well, it is not impossible to provide more weapons and equipment. Aircraft, warships, missiles, we can all talk about it."
Ruan Pan Fangxiu nodded vigorously, indicating that he would definitely consider Ding Wei's proposal carefully.
Then Zhang Dabiao left the room.
Ruan Xiu tied up her hair and skillfully rolled it into a ponytail to facilitate movement.
Some transactions can deepen the bond between both parties.
The Ruan army was originally stationed in the mountains. They were not loved by their grandmothers or uncles, and their equipment was relatively poor.
It is better to station troops in front-line cities, where they can gain some benefits from the local area, make money, and arm themselves quickly.
With Ding Wei's support, this group was the first to obtain 2000 automatic rifles, which were immediately equipped to each team, ensuring that each team had 1-2 automatic rifles.
Can greatly enhance the firepower of the team.
After all, it was a bolt-action rifle before, and it jumped directly to an automatic rifle. The firepower of one rifle is comparable to that of seven or eight bolt-action rifles.
A group of grassroots officers were introduced from southern Yunnan to serve as company commanders.
Quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.
With equipment and support, more than 3000 armed men were mobilized again.
At the same time, the defense along the current was strengthened and the Nguyen army launched inland river patrols.
They began to openly snatch people from the 12th Army in the north.
As long as soldiers come here to serve, their monthly subsidy will be doubled.
Under Ding Wei's guidance, Ruan Pan Fangxiu sorted out the remaining factories in the northwest region and took inventory of old equipment.
They couldn't do these things, but Ding Wei was able to provide technicians and equipment.
At least it is possible to build hydroelectric power stations in the middle reaches of Yuanjiang River and Honghe River.
Build several medium-sized steel mills and mines in the north.
Help exploit mineral resources in deep mountains and forests.
With Ding Wei's help, this is a gold mine.
Without Ding Wei's help, they would not be able to mine on their own.
Ruan Kaitian found a strong supporter in Long State and became very ambitious. He stepped up the annexation of the 12th Army and wanted to become the commander of the two armies in the north.
Gu Yue and Wu Jia immediately became alert.
Ding Wei first caused trouble at Bailongwei, pulled the Southern Fleet to his doorstep, and drew a line along the sea area.
Now they are cooperating with the Nguyen Army in the north. What are they trying to do?
Gu Yue had a keen political talent and was very accurate in judging the overall situation. He immediately discussed with Wu Jia that the 11th Army must be transferred and the connection with Ding Wei must be cut off.
But Wu Jia was in trouble.
At this moment, the battle with the Gauls had just ended, and most of the troops were gathered on the 17th parallel.
We must guard against the resurgence of the Gallic rooster and stabilize the situation on the front line.
If the Nguyen army is forced to transfer troops, it may cause great trouble in the rear.
Ruan Kaitian’s 11th Army is too close to the core plain delta area.
If Ding Wei takes the opportunity to arrange troops to rush in and launch a pincer attack from the north and the south, the Northern Monkey will be gone.
