Chapter 87 Li Yunlong Borrows Equipment
Li Yunlong said angrily: "Brother Yang Lin, I applied for our brigade commander."
"When he asked me to take over the mess of the independent regiment, I told him that he had to equip me with all the weapons and equipment, otherwise I would not be able to be the commander of the regiment."
"Hey! Brother Yang Lin, guess what our brigade commander told me?"
"He said, Li Yunlong, you have to do this as the regiment commander whether you want to or not. I don't care what method you use, you must make the independent regiment a success for me, otherwise you won't even have the chance to make military uniforms for me!"
"He also said that he had no weapons ready, but he only had one life left, and asked me if I wanted one."
At this point, Li Yunlong almost cried: "Brother Yang Lin, I really have no other choice. If you don't help me, I won't be able to survive!"
Yang Lin was almost amused by Li Yunlong, but he held it back and showed an expression of pretentious embarrassment.
Li Yunlong got a little anxious and said, "Brother Yang Lin, you promised me when we were at the Eighth Route Army Clothing Factory that you would help me make a fortune together.
You can't just turn your back on me just because I got the military uniform, right?"
Yang Lin smiled and said, "Brother Yunlong, don't worry. I, Yang Lin, always keep my word. If you don't believe me, go out and ask around.
When talking about me, Yang Lin, everyone would give me a thumbs up, especially when it comes to my character.
As for what you said about getting rich with you, I not only haven't forgotten it, I've always kept it in my heart."
"It's just that I haven't found the right opportunity yet. I can't take you to Taiyuan to raid Shinozuka Yoshio's lair, right?"
"Hehehe! Brother Yang Lin, of course I know your character very well." In order to please Yang Lin, Li Yunlong could only say some flattering words against his conscience.
Then, he changed the subject and said, "This time, I have my own way, so I don't need you to help me. You just need to lend me a batch of weapons and equipment as start-up capital.
I don't need to borrow too much, just one Type 92 infantry gun, three or five 90mm small steel cannons, and ten or eight light and heavy machine guns will be enough.
Of course, we also need to equip ourselves with some more ammunition.
After the mission is accomplished, I will not only return all these weapons and equipment to you, but also give you a share of the captured spoils.
This is a sure win business!"
"Brother Yang Lin, you have to think about this carefully. You have to think about this carefully. You have to think about this carefully..."
"If you don't lend me the equipment, I, Old Li, won't leave..."
In the end, Li Yunlong even resorted to rogue tactics.
He didn't ask for too much, because he knew that Yang Lin had just won a victory and must have seized a large amount of Japanese equipment. Yang Lin could still give him this amount of weapons and equipment if he gritted his teeth.
Of course, that was because Li Yunlong didn’t know that Yang Lin had Italian cannon, otherwise, he would have shamelessly added it to the list.
As for Yang Lin's lies about handing over weapons and equipment to the regiment headquarters, he didn't believe it at all. Besides, Chu Yunfei was not that kind of person, and he didn't lack these weapons and equipment.
Yang Lin sneered in his heart. Anyone who has seen Bright Sword knows that Li Yunlong's words are simply deceptive.
Anyone who believes him must have been kicked in the head by a pig.
If Yang Lin lent the equipment to Li Yunlong, it would be like Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou and never returning it.
However, Yang Lin had always intended to make friends with Li Yunlong, and sponsoring Li Yunlong with weapons and equipment to enhance the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment would be extremely beneficial to the War of Resistance. Therefore, under Li Yunlong's constant persuasion, Yang Lin gradually softened his stance.
However, he would not let Li Yunlong get away with it for nothing. He had to get some benefits out of it.
Weaponry?
The independent battalion is not short of supplies at the moment, and even if it seizes something good, Li Yunlong will definitely hide it and will not share it with him.
Ocean?
Li Yunlong is so poor that he is almost penniless. He has no money at all. It would be better to fight some rich people instead of making money from .
Yang Lin's thoughts were turning rapidly, and soon, he had an idea.
"Brother Yunlong, it's not impossible for me to lend you weapons and equipment, but... you have to agree to one condition of mine."
When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Brother Yang Lin, you are really my relative. Just tell me what your conditions are. Don't just say one condition. Even if it's eight or ten, I will agree to it."
Yang Lin sneered in his heart: "I'm afraid you will just agree verbally, but will immediately turn your face and deny it after getting the weapons and equipment, and you may not even plan to return the weapons and equipment I lent you, right?"
However, Yang Lin was not afraid that Li Yunlong would not agree to the condition he proposed.
On the contrary, he was actually solving a big problem for Li Yunlong.
"Brother Yang Lin, what are the conditions? Tell me now!"
Seeing that Yang Lin was slow to speak, Li Yunlong couldn't wait any longer, so he made an urgent suggestion: "Brother Yang Lin, don't bother thinking about conditions, aren't you still single?
How about I introduce the most beautiful girl in our Eighth Route Army Clothing Factory to you as your wife?
You’ve been to our clothing factory, the girls there are so pretty…”
Li Yunlong was so self-boasting that he almost praised the girls in the bedding factory as fairies.
However, Yang Lin didn't believe Li Yunlong's nonsense. He had been to the clothing factory, but there were no girls there at all. It was basically all middle-aged women. It would be more appropriate to introduce the middle-aged women's daughter to him.
"Brother Yunlong, no no no, you should keep the girl from the clothing factory as your wife."
Yang Lin immediately shook his head and refused, then said: "My request is actually very simple, that is, after the battle, you just leave those captured puppet soldiers to me.
As for the weapons and equipment I lent you, consider them as gifts for your reinstatement, so you don't have to return them!"
The reason why Yang Lin said this was because he knew Li Yunlong's character. If he lent this batch of weapons and equipment to Li Yunlong, he would never get them back.
In this case, you might as well be generous and do the other person a favor.
Li Yunlong was stunned. He knew Yang Lin's character to some extent. He was also a guy who would take advantage of others. He didn't understand why Yang Lin was so generous today. He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Brother Yang Lin, those traitors can't do anything except bully the common people. What do you want those idiots for?"
"Don't worry about that. Just capture the puppet soldiers and send them to me!"
"Okay! Brother Yang Lin, let's make it a deal then!"
Li Yunlong never dreamed that it would be so easy to get the equipment, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands excitedly.
Sure enough, if you follow Brother Yang Lin, you will get to eat meat!
This made him even more determined to establish a good relationship with the other party.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that the deal he made with Yang Lin when he was in the clothing factory was really a good deal.
Compared to military uniforms, weapons and equipment are more practical.
What's more, those military uniforms didn't belong to Li Yunlong, but to Ding Wei...
