Chapter 183: Zhou Weiguo Wants To Equip His Troops With German Weaponry
After the first officer meeting ended, Zhou Weiguo immediately began to feel a headache for the poor weaponry and equipment of the troops he had taken over, because the weaponry and equipment of the 583rd Regiment he had taken over were all inferior, with many old sleeve rifles, and even some cold weapons, while although there were Zhongzheng Rifles from the main force, the quantity was not large,
“Phew! With such equipment? Once facing Japanese Army elite troops, it’ll be tough to fight!”
After looking over the weaponry and equipment of the troops he had taken over, Zhou Weiguo couldn’t help but sigh and say.
For him, who had received special forces military training in Berlin, he knew very well that although excellent weaponry and equipment could not completely determine the course of the war, it still had a great influence, at least before achieving victory, the side with inferior weaponry and equipment would pay a heavy casualty price.
Therefore, Zhou Weiguo felt a sense of crisis about this,
“How about re-equipping the troops?”
“Maybe my cousin Zhou Wenhua can help me!”
“This guy is familiar with many foreigners’ arsenal chairmen overseas!”
“Even arsenals like the German Army’s Mauser Manufacturing Factory, Skoda Arsenal, Rheinmetall Group, Krupp Company, and Brno Arsenal, he is very familiar with! And he seems to have business dealings with them!”
“Maybe he can re-equip my troops with German Weaponry and Equipment!”
“I’m not greedy, even if it’s just re-equipping the entire regiment with German Weaponry light weaponry and equipment, that would be fine!”
Facing the problem of poor weaponry and equipment in the National Revolutionary Army troops’ 583rd Regiment that he had taken over,
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Weiguo couldn’t help but think of the well-connected Zhou Wenhua,
So his eyes lit up, and he came up with the idea of asking Zhou Wenhua for help,
He even began to fantasize about his troops being re-equipped with German Weaponry light weaponry and equipment,
“Hey! I kind of feel like I’m dreaming, I don’t know if this cousin Zhou Wenhua can help me realize this small wish of mine!”
“If the troops are re-equipped with German Weaponry light weaponry and equipment, I will command them to fight even more fiercely, kill more Japanese Invaders more easily, after all, I am a top graduate from the Berlin Military Academy with military training background!”
“I’m familiar with German Weaponry and Equipment!”
However, soon after, Zhou Weiguo felt that his idea might be a bit unrealistic.
But no matter what, he became even more determined in his idea,
He must re-equip his newly taken over troops, the 583rd Regiment, into a unit with excellent weapons,
And in the future wars, be able to kill as many Japanese Troops as possible.
After making up his mind,
Even though Zhou Weiguo felt that Zhou Wenhua might not necessarily be able to fulfill his wish, he still picked up the telephone and called long-distance to Zhou Wenhua in Beiping City.
Soon,
Zhou Wenhua received Zhou Weiguo’s call,
“Today I officially took over as the new Regiment Commander of the 583rd Regiment under the 292nd Brigade of the 98th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and there’s also Battalion Commander Yao Ziqing of the Third Battalion that you once mentioned to me, he’s in my troops too!”
“It’s just that this unit’s weaponry and equipment is quite poor, even including cold weapons and old sleeve rifles, and they make up the majority! So I hope to re-equip them with German Weaponry and Equipment, I just don’t know if you have a way to help me!”
“Because I know you’re quite familiar with arms dealers from foreign powers and arsenal chairmen, and even have business dealings, so I’m calling you to inquire!”
After the call connected, Zhou Weiguo was the first to get straight to the point and frankly state his intention.
“Sure! When do you need it?”
As soon as Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, Zhou Wenhua agreed without hesitation.
“.”
Zhou Weiguo.
He was speechless for a moment,
Because he didn’t expect Zhou Wenhua to agree so readily and quickly.
