Even if I'm a useless bum at Whampoa Military Academy, I'll be invincible in the War of Re

Zhao Yunwen sold these spoils for over 7 silver dollars. The buyer ultimately paid in gold, and the security team received over 200 "big yellow croakers".

Both the customer and the client were beaming with joy.

Boss Tang gripped Zhao Yunwen's hand tightly, his voice trembling with excitement:

"Commander Zhao, it's a pleasure doing business with you! If you have any good goods in the future, just come to me. I, Tang, will buy them all, however many you have!"

Zhao Yunwen laughed heartily, his tone unusually casual:

"Boss Tang is quite generous, so I'm naturally happy to oblige. As long as the price is right, I can provide as much equipment and medicine as you need."

Wang Qingwan's eyes lit up instantly, her breathing quickened, and she stepped forward, asking urgently:

Do you have any anti-inflammatory medication?

Zhao Yunwen nodded slightly.

Wang Qingwan's heart warmed, and she pressed on with another question:

"What about the bullets made in Hanyang?"

"As many as you want, we have them."

Zhao Yunwen stood with his hands behind his back, his tone casual yet carrying an overwhelming confidence:

"Submachine guns, mortars, light and heavy machine guns, radios—as long as you can afford it, there's nothing I, Zhao Yunwen, can't get."

As soon as he finished speaking, he gave a self-deprecating laugh:

"Don't laugh at me, but I'm so poor I can barely afford to eat. My brothers need food, drink, and pay. I don't care about anything that can be exchanged for money."

Wang Qingwan and Boss Tang exchanged a glance, both seeing ecstasy in each other's eyes.

She took a deep breath and said:

"Commander Zhao, we don't have enough cash with us this time. I'll give you a list later so you can calculate the prices."

Three days later, we'll exchange money for goods, how about that?

Zhao Yunwen grinned, revealing a set of white teeth:

"Of course, no problem. You two are my major clients; it'll be a pleasure doing business with you!"

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

Wang Qingwan immediately wrote down the order list, and Zhao Yunwen roughly calculated the price and quoted the price.

The woman's eyes lit up—the price was ridiculously low!

It's 30% cheaper than on the black market!

Especially medicines, they're being sold off like crazy, with prices over 40% off – these are life-saving items!

She didn't even bother to haggle and finalized the deal on the spot.

The total amount was over 120,000 silver dollars.

Zhao Yunwen waved his hand grandly, his heroic spirit soaring to the heavens:

"Round it down, it'll be 120,000 silver dollars, or the equivalent in gold, either is fine."

Wang Qingwan was in turmoil.

I had long heard that Zhao Yunwen was a notorious spendthrift and extravagant spender, and seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved!

More than three thousand yuan was shrunk off so easily. She originally thought that she would be grateful if she could get a few dozen yuan off.

Little did she know that Zhao Yunwen had a "cheat code" that was very cheap to use, so even at that price, he was making a killing.

With the order finalized, Wang Qingwan and her companion dared not linger and hurriedly left Luodian.

These supplies were urgently needed by the Southern Guerrilla Forces to form the New Fourth Army, and could not be delayed for even a moment.

As Zhao Yunwen watched the two figures disappear into the distance, a burning intensity flickered deep in his eyes.

They were all meant for fighting the Japanese invaders. We should help them if we could, especially since they were paid for with real money, which was a valuable form of currency in chaotic times.

As for the future?

Zhao Yunwen hadn't thought that far ahead.

At worst, if the war is won, we can lead our brothers to flee far away, occupy a piece of land overseas, and live a carefree life.

The most urgent task is to survive in Luodian, this meat grinder!

He turned around and went back to his base, opened the Time-Space Mall, and frantically redeemed items according to the list.

[After deducting 4000 contribution points, the current balance is 874000 points]

The items in the Time-Space Mall are practically worthless in this era, like cabbages.

Within a few hours, the system delivered both batches of equipment and medicine.

Part of it was reserved for the security force to defend Luodian, and the other part was left for Wang Qingwan three days later.

With ample funds and supplies, the security regiment's fortifications were constructed at a rapid pace.

Zhao Yunwen directly took out a large amount of grain and silver dollars, mobilizing the people of the whole town to work together.

With money to earn and food to eat, the people naturally worked hard, and the construction progressed at breakneck speed.

Since the security regiment moved into Luodian, the entire town has become a huge construction site, with tens of thousands of people working day and night to turn the town upside down.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Wang Qingwan arrived as promised, followed by a fully equipped caravan specifically for transporting supplies.

Bullets and grenades were piled up like small mountains, and although the anti-inflammatory drugs were small in size, they were priceless, valued at the price of gold.

Everything had already been agreed upon, and the transaction was simple and efficient.

Zhao Yunwen made a fortune, and Wang Qingwan obtained the scarce strategic materials she had been dreaming of. Both were overjoyed!

Zhao Yunwen was in a great mood and sent dozens more boxes of bullets.

Wang Qingwan's captivating phoenix eyes instantly curved into crescent moons, and her gaze towards him carried a hint of warm affection.

This man was handsome and dashing, a true tall, rich, and handsome guy, but he was too extravagant and a reactionary... What a pity.

"Commander Zhao, that's quite a large undertaking. You've conscripted almost all the able-bodied men in the town to build fortifications. How much money must have been spent on this?"

Zhao Yunwen grinned, completely unconcerned:

"I'm not good at anything else, but I'm terrified of dying. Isn't the point of making money to spend it? I have to thank you for the money you sent, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle such a big event."

Wang Qingwan smiled gently:

"We've settled the payment. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and I wish Commander Zhao a resounding victory, that he will rout the Japanese devils!"

"No problem."

Zhao Yunwen raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of roguishness:

"I've invested so much money and supplies, I have to make it back from the Japanese with interest. You know I, Zhao Yunwen, never do anything that loses money."

Wang Qingwan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

With his extravagant spending habits, how dare he say he doesn't make money at a loss? If everyone followed his example, everyone would lose everything.

Having gotten a great deal this time, she didn't hold back and praised him a few times with a smile.

Zhao Yunwen cooperated with a simple and silly smile, looking a bit dim-witted, but not at all annoying.

"Commander Zhao, farewell. This is our contact point in the International Settlement. Remember to send someone to contact us if you have any more spoils."

Wang Qingwan handed over a small note, then turned and led her team away.

Zhao Yunwen waved and watched the convoy drive away. The simple smile on his face vanished instantly, and his eyes became sharp as knives.

There were only three days left before the Japanese invasion.

A bloody battle is about to begin.

Countless people will be buried on this land, but Zhao Yunwen and his brothers in the security regiment will not retreat an inch!

Just then, a series of hurried and cheerful footsteps approached; Chief of Staff Lu Ping's voice preceded his arrival.

"Commander! Commander Chen Cixiu has sent a shipment of supplies! Not only is there a large quantity of ammunition, but also medicine, food, and even meat!"

Zhao Yunwen's lips curled up slightly, a cold smile playing on his lips.

This junior chairman really went to great lengths to win me over.

The Nationalist government was riddled with factions and incessant infighting, which was especially deadly during wartime.

For elite troops, replenish as many losses as possible.

Even if a ragtag army wins, the credit goes to others; if it loses, it doesn't even get any replacements, and may even be directly disbanded and absorbed.

In another timeline, the Jiangsu Provincial Security Corps and the Shanghai Security Corps fought valiantly on the Battle of Shanghai, achieving numerous military exploits. However, after the war, they were directly disbanded, and their remnants were incorporated into the Central Army.

If one really needs to find a powerful patron, Chen Cixiu is undoubtedly the best choice.

They have strong backing and won't easily discard you after you've served your purpose; they've always been loyal to the civil engineering lineage.

However, he is not yet qualified to truly attach himself to the Civil Engineering faction; he must prove himself in the Battle of Luodian.

At that time, what will arrive will not be supplies, but Chen Cixiu's personal inspection.

"System, does clinging to a powerful figure conflict with my goal of lying low and doing nothing?"

Of course they don't conflict. Only by clinging to powerful figures can you lie more comfortably!

Zhao Yunwen felt reassured and shouted:

"Chief of Staff Lu, come with me to receive the supplies sent by Commander Chen!"

The Japanese invaders are approaching, and a major battle is imminent.

But Zhao Yunwen's legend in Luodian has only just begun.
