Lin Feng had to admit that although the man in Jiangcheng was only average at fighting, he was extremely skilled at manipulating the political balance.

The commander of the Fifth War Zone was Commander Li, a bigwig in the Guangxi clique.

The troops under the Fifth War Zone have very distinct characteristics, consisting of a motley crew of different units.

The Northwest Army, the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, the Guangxi Army—all the warlords were here, but there were very few of the Central Army's elite troops.

Jiangcheng must have been extremely worried about entrusting such an important strategic hub as Pengcheng to Commander Li, who was not a direct subordinate.

Therefore, he would inevitably place people he absolutely trusted in the two vital areas of logistics and command.

Wang Tianlu, a money-making expert and logistics manager from the Central Army's elite faction, was assigned to this lieutenant general position as deputy director.

Officially, it was to assist Commander Li in coordinating logistics.

In reality, he was the old man's money bag and military supervisor planted in the Fifth War Zone.

Looking at Wang Tianlu's radiant face and triumphant expression.

Lin Feng knew that this old guy must be very adept at maneuvering among various miscellaneous armies, using his power to control the distribution of supplies to make a fortune from the war.

"Brother, you're now the god of wealth in the Fifth War Zone."

Lin Feng put down his teacup and looked at Wang Tianlu with a half-smile:

"The food, drink, and daily needs of the hundreds of thousands of troops in these five war zones all depend on you to leave a little room for them."

Wang Tianlu gave a wry smile, waved his hands repeatedly, and began to pour out his grievances:

"Brother, you don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household."

My job may seem glamorous on the surface, but it's actually a living hell.

Those ragtag troops in the Fifth War Zone were all dirt poor, and they blocked my door every day demanding guns and cannons.

They're desperately lacking, especially, anti-tank weapons and heavy firepower.

Wang Tianlu lowered his voice and leaned close to Lin Feng:

"But you know the rules in Jiangcheng."

Good things should be given to our core members first; there aren't that many weapons to share with them.

"Brother, I have no goods on hand; even a skilled cook can't cook without rice."

Lin Feng was overjoyed when he heard this.

With connections, this business is so easy!

Is the Fifth Theater Command lacking heavy firepower?

Lacking anti-tank weapons?

Lin Feng has a system.

As long as you have enough silver dollars and gold, you can have as many guns, cannons, tanks, and airplanes as you want in the system's shop.

He could easily become a middleman, using Wang Tianlu's official channels as the head of logistics in the war zone to sell weapons at inflated prices.

Lin Feng's eyes darted around, and he deliberately sighed, lowering his voice as he said:

"I understand your difficulties, brother."

But...

While I was fighting in Jiangbei recently, I unexpectedly made some friends with foreign trading companies overseas.

They happened to have a batch of goods on hand.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianlu's eyes instantly lit up like two searchlights, and his breathing became rapid:

"Oh? A friend from the foreign firm?"

Hey bro, what's the condition of the stock you mentioned? What kind of stuff does it include?

"The quality is absolutely top-notch."

Lin Feng held up one finger and said mysteriously:

"All of them are genuine products from Hans and Bluetooth countries."

It has everything: 37mm anti-tank guns, 81mm mortars, 75mm mountain guns, 20mm anti-aircraft guns, and more.

"As long as you need it, brother, I can arrange for them to transport the goods to Jiangpu anytime, load them onto a train, and deliver them all at once to the Fifth War Zone Command's warehouse."

Wang Tianlu was a smart man, and he understood immediately upon hearing this.

Such a large quantity, and all of it is in stock.

What overseas trading company friends? This is clearly Lin Feng himself having a secret arms supply channel!

"Oh, my brother, you're truly a lifesaver for me!"

Wang Tianlu slapped his thigh in excitement, his fat face trembling.

"Those generals of the Sichuan Army and the Northwest Army had a lot of real money in their hands."

Commander Li of the Guangxi clique was even worse off, having money in hand but unable to contact the seller.

In short, as long as there are good goods, the generals of the Fifth War Zone are willing to spend their entire fortunes to buy them.

Wang Tianlu was a shrewd man. As long as there was money to be made, what did it matter if he, a lieutenant general in the Central Army, sold weapons to irregular troops?

He chuckled and asked, "Brother, how do you plan to ship this batch of goods?"

Lin Feng, not wanting to spoil the mood, smiled slightly, picked up his teacup, and gently touched it to Wang Tianlu's teacup:

"The usual rules."

I'll handle the supply; you, buddy, are in charge of finding buyers in the war zone.

To outsiders, just say that you, Director Wang, are incredibly resourceful and purchased these items from overseas at high prices.

As for the price difference and profit in between...

Lin Feng extended his right hand and gestured:

"I'll give you the item at one price. As for how much you can sell it for, that's up to you."

However, let me make it clear first: I only accept yellow croaker and cash; I don't accept legal tender or antiques and paintings.

"I don't want opium either."

"happy!"

Wang Tianlu was so excited that his face was flushed. This was like a windfall for him, a risk-free and highly profitable opportunity.

Not only could he make a fortune from this, but he could also use these weapons to win over those miscellaneous military commanders and consolidate his position in the Fifth War Zone—a double win with one move.

The more he looked at the young man in front of him, the happier he became. This was his lucky charm!

It must be cherished and carefully protected!

"Brother, it's settled then."

And for your contribution this time, I will definitely put in my utmost effort to help you get up there…”

Wang Tianlu thumped his chest so hard it made a deafening noise.

Lin Feng wasn't too worried about having his credit stolen.

The achievement of annihilating the Kunisaki Detachment this time is too great; no one else could swallow it up even if they wanted to.

He appreciated Wang Tianlu's kindness, stood up with a smile, grabbed the other person's hand, and the two embraced.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

"It's a pleasure working with you, hahaha."

Two men, each with their own ulterior motives but sharing the same interests, exchanged a smile.

They were laughing so happily, and their understanding was so perfect.

-----

A few days later, Lieutenant General Xu returned from Jiangpu, travel-worn and without even taking a sip of water, and rushed straight into Commander Li's office.

"It's been investigated!"

Lieutenant General Xu could not hide the excitement on his face, and his voice rose several decibels:

"The results are real."

While a complete annihilation might not be guaranteed, the amount of captured supplies cannot be faked.

I saw with my own eyes the mountains of Type 38 rifles and the rows of Type 92 heavy machine guns.

Lin Feng dealt a severe blow, one could even say he crippled the Kunisaki detachment.

Commander Li was standing in front of the huge battle map when he heard this and turned around.

Lieutenant General Xu then said:

"I have carefully examined Kunisaki Noboru's general's sword, rank insignia, and bloodstained officer's ID card."

Furthermore, the photos taken by Lin Feng and his team are absolutely genuine.

Upon hearing this definite answer, Commander Li breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his previously tense face.

He walked to his desk, picked up several newspapers that smelled of ink, and handed them to Lieutenant General Xu.

"You're still a couple of steps too slow."

Commander Li pointed to the headline on the front page of the newspaper, his tone tinged with emotion:

"You had barely left when the news broke overseas."

Look, the New York Times, The Times...

Now the whole world knows that our Great Xia has won an unprecedented victory in Jiangbei.

When Lieutenant General Xu took the newspaper, he saw a picture of Kunisaki Noboru's corpse printed on it and immediately gasped.

"This Lin Feng is quick on his feet. He's practically ripped the Japanese soldiers' faces off and trampled them into the ground."

"Yeah, this kid is not only good at fighting, but he also knows a lot about propaganda."
