"Luo, I think you are right. Taking your destiny in your own hands is the best way to do it." Tan Ni said firmly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, "But you should also understand the risks. As a warlord, Deng Benyin will not let you develop your own strength. He will not allow you to have sufficient financial resources and a huge army. If that is the case, what chance do you have? Even if you train the security team to become the world's number one elite, he only has one team after all, and the number is too small! If you want to expand the scale, Deng Benyin will definitely cause trouble for you. He is not a fool! We must be foolish!"

Roger nodded: "That's true, but why should I fight with him? Deng Benyin is not a person who is content with the status quo. Don't worry, he will definitely make moves in less than two years. When he leads his army to fight in a war, we will do it in the empty Hainan. Of course, if there is no such opportunity, I will not do anything. In addition, in addition to the ground troops, I also want to form a navy recently. Although it may be just a few gunboats, it is enough to deal with Deng Benyin's troops. With gunboats, it will not be so easy for Deng Benyin to fight back to Hainan."

Although Tanny was still a little worried, Roger's words did make some sense. As long as he could take advantage of the emptiness of Deng Benyin's rear, he could still rely on the barriers of the strait and an elite army to defend Deng Benyin's counterattack. However, even so, the strength of a security regiment is obviously too small.

"So, you came here this time to seek support from the US government? But this is impossible. The risk of doing this is too great. Even if our relationship is good, it is useless. The US government cannot support you. If it is supported, it is just my personal support."

"No, I don't mean this, and I don't expect to rely on other people's power to accomplish this." Roger paused and continued, "In fact, I have a big trouble that you need to solve - arms! You know, China is under a military embargo now. Because of the lack of arms, many warlords have even formed troops with only pistol equipment. Except for the Soviet Union and Germany that did not sign a treaty, it is difficult for other countries to enter China, unless it is smuggling, but I don't like the Soviets, but I have no way to smuggle German weapons."

"This is indeed a problem..." Tanny frowned. Although even with the restrictions of the embargo treaty, many arms dealers still smuggled to make money. Even if these people are caught, they will not be sentenced to heavy sentences. It seems that the heaviest thing will only be released in more than a year. It can be said that everyone turns a blind eye. However, smuggling is smuggling. It cannot be too large. There must be a way out, otherwise no one will help if they are caught.

After thinking for a while, Tanni said, "I should be able to help you. Give me the list and I will find a way to help you contact the German arms dealer."

Roger nodded and smiled, "Haha, if you help, it shouldn't be a big problem. Here is a list of 5,000 Mauser 1898, 10 Maxim, 5 million rounds, plus 20,000 grenades, 5 mortars and 1,000 rounds of shells. If it's convenient, give me some "Chicago typewriter". In addition, training will consume most of them in the future, so you should pay attention to ordering more ammunition in the future. Of course, if these can be hidden from Deng Benyin, try to hide them as much as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome to attract his attention."

"I will hide this batch of goods in the supplies of the US Embassy. I think Deng Benyin would not have the courage to check my things. In addition, I am a shareholder of the factory, so it is convenient to transport supplies in this name. It is not difficult to hide from General Deng. However, this cost is not a small amount." Although Tanny is not an arms dealer, as a consul in China, he is quite familiar with the price of arms. After estimating it for a moment, he exclaimed: "Oh my God, these equipment actually cost more than 400,000 US dollars. How much do we need? Is there more than 5,000 people in a group? And this does not include food and clothing and military pay! I finally know why the people in Congress always dislike the military! This army is simply made of gold!"

"If the security team is in the limit of one thousand people, it will definitely be suspicious. Although the excess guns are not available now, it is always useful to keep them. The team will be expanded in the future. It is not possible to have no guns, so follow this list." Roger said.

Tanni shrugged and said, "I can guarantee that the arms will be delivered as soon as possible, but you'd better guarantee that Deng Benyin won't see the flaws."

Roger smiled and said, "Isn't you still there? If he has objections to the scale of our security team, if you are tough at the beginning, he will not dare to do anything to me. Then, after a year or two, he may not have much time to take care of me."

Tanni did not travel through time, so he naturally doubted Roger's words. However, Roger knew clearly that in less than two years, the Northern Expedition would break out. At that time, Deng Benyin would stand on the other side of Beijing and stab Jiang's bald chrysanthemum. As a result, not only did he not stab Jiang's chrysanthemum but also got beaten to the end of his nest. Finally, he took the poison and pretended to die and went home to be a residence. And this period was Roger's opportunity!

………………………………………

Although Tanni promised to help with arms, building an army is not just a matter of firearms, so it is easy to get a general in a thousand troops. This is true in ancient and modern times. A big-headed soldier who doesn’t know a big word is easy to use, but qualified officers with tactical qualities are really too lacking in China, and even more so in Roger’s security regiment. He can’t rely on German instructors to lead the troops to fight.

Therefore, in order for his own security regiment to have a few officers who can make a move, Roger decided to go to Guangzhou. The Huangpu student naturally did not dare to expect it. He could only target those who failed to be elected in the second phase of Huangpu in August, hoping to bring in two officers to support the store.

However, although the target was those who failed to be elected, Roger was still worried about whether he would come to his small temple to recite scriptures. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to increase his salary. But how could those who were greedy for these be first-class officers? Moreover, most of the people who took the Huangpu exams these days have a little money at home, so how could they care about how much your salary is? These days, there are more businesses that make money than the soldiers.

In the midst of helplessness and entanglement, Roger still came to Guangzhou to make up for his luck. Even if he really couldn't deceive the officer, he would at least have to make a relationship with Jiang Guangtou and his Huangpu students. He should just treat it as a trip. Even if he had no gains from this trip, as long as he saw the famous people and Shanshan Jiangxing, it would be worth the fare.
