    The captain¡¯s name here is John. He is a bearded man wearing a shabby captain¡¯s uniform and a black captain¡¯s hat.

    Seeing Xia Yang and the others arriving, John tidied his clothes symbolically, but it seemed as if he had not tidied them at all.

    "Sir, the goods are all here. You can count them."

    With that said, John handed a list to Xia Yang and the others.

    "grateful."

    Xia Yang nodded slightly to him and took the list over.

    On this list, what is recorded is the cargo on this freighter.

    In addition to these goods, there are also some weapons and equipment on other cargo ships, but they are not recorded on this list.

    Xia Yang took a quick look and saw the list of weapons recorded on it, mainly artillery and some trucks.

    After reading the list, Xia Yang said: "Mr. Captain, can you take us to see those weapons and equipment?"

    Hearing that Xia Yang¡¯s English turned out to be very authentic, John narrowed his eyes in surprise.

    He touched the bushy beard on his chin with his palm and said, "Of course, sir."

    ¡°With that said, he walked in front, dragging his black leather shoes that didn¡¯t fit well, and walked on the rusty deck of the freighter.

    Director Liu then whispered into Xia Yang's ear: "Commander Xia, I didn't expect that your English is so good."

    Xia Yang smiled softly and nodded to him, but did not speak. He just followed John's guidance and came to the front of the container.

    A few sailors opened one of the containers, and the dazzling tropical sunlight, like a big hand, tore open the darkness inside the container, revealing the weapons loaded inside the container, which was a military truck produced by General Motors.

    Seeing this truck, Xia Yang walked directly in and jumped into the cab.

    Entering inside, Xia Yang smelled an unpleasant smell.

    That is the smell of sweat, cigarettes, and engine oil, which are mixed together all year round and eventually accumulate in the truck.

    Xia Yang picked up the flashlight and looked inside the cab. He found that this truck had been used.

    Simply put, this is a second-hand car.

    Sure enough, Americans will not be so generous and give us new trucks.

    Xia Yang thought this in his heart, then turned around and asked John about the situation.

    John shrugged his shoulders and said: "Sorry, sir, I am only responsible for transporting these weapons and equipment here. As for the quality of these goods, it is not within my jurisdiction."

    As he said this, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with a silver-gray lighter full of oil stains.

    Xia Yang took a deep breath, then turned and walked towards other containers.

    After some inspection, he found that these weapons and equipment, as well as the trucks used for transportation, were basically newly produced, while others were obviously obsolete.

    However, these Americans still have a conscience. At least the second-hand products that were eliminated were replaced with new engine oil and some damaged parts.

    Of course, the service life of these second-hand goods is destined not to be too long.

    Xia Yang also knew that he could not find anyone to hold him accountable for this kind of matter, so he could only report the matter to the chairman of the committee.

    ¡°As for whether the Chairman can resolve this matter, it depends on the face of the Americans.

    ¡°It¡¯s uncomfortable to look at other people¡¯s faces, even if the two countries are nominally allies.

    But even this kind of military-strategist alliance was only formed after a large amount of exchange of interests.

    Afterwards, Xia Yang checked several other cargo ships, and the conditions on them were also very different.

    The condition of tanks and armored vehicles is much better than the trucks here.

    Because of the strong industrial production capacity of the United States at this time, instead of maintaining some obsolete second-hand tanks and armored vehicles, it is better to directly give them new ones.

    That actually saves a lot of manpower.

    After confirming that the weapons list basically matched the supplies on the cargo ships, Xia Yang and the others began to unload the ships.

    As for the soldiers of the Fourth Army, they drove these tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks directly to the temporary warehouse of the Fourth Army at this time.

    There, these trucks and armor?, as well as tanks, will be directly dismantled into multiple parts.

    Then they are loaded into the transport aircraft in batches for transportation.

    After arriving in North China, these tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks will be assembled again.

    They are already familiar with the disassembly and assembly of these tanks, locomotives, and trucks.

    The restored tanks they transported before were also transported using this method.

    As the containers were hoisted down one by one, tanks and armored vehicles were also driven to the temporary warehouses of the Fourth Army by the tank and armored vehicle drivers of the Fourth Army.

    Seeing such a scene, the other soldiers of the national army had envy or even jealousy in their eyes.

    With so much equipment, how great would it be if all were given to them?

    But they also think, if these weapons and equipment are really given to them, will they really be able to confront the Japanese head-on?

    It is better to give it to the Fourth Army with the strongest combat effectiveness. At least they can recover North China.

    It is better than their troops. After fighting for so many years, not much lost land has been recovered, but there are quite a lot of newly lost cities and land.

    It¡¯s really shameful to think about such a thing.

    But they can only keep these words in their hearts and will not say them out loud.

    Xia Yang sat on one of the Sherman tanks, slowly passing through the dusty roads of Mumbai, passing through the airport with roaring planes, and finally arrived at their temporary warehouse.

    These Sherman tanks will be dismantled here.

    This is a huge project, although they hired a lot of people here and sent a lot of soldiers themselves.

    But it will take at least half a month to complete them all and finally transport them to North China and equip them with troops.

    That night, the first batch of weapons and equipment had been packed and loaded onto the transport plane.

    These weapons and equipment are basically mortars, cannons, howitzers, field guns and other weapons. After being disassembled, they are directly mounted on trucks and finally transported to transport aircraft.

    The remaining weapons and equipment will also be dismantled and transported to North China in batches.

    Eventually the troops were deployed and became their powerful weapon against the Japanese invaders.

    The loading and unloading of the goods took three days in total.

    The temporary warehouse that Xia Yang and the others built here is not even enough.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
