Total War Predator

Bernard Russell wondered in his heart, are these people really going to buy arms?A few days ago, the guy named Archie Ryan found his brother-in-law and contacted him through him, saying that a delegation of warlords from China wanted to buy arms, and the order quantity was at least tens of thousands.To be honest, Russell didn't really believe in this kind of thing, but after asking someone to inquire, a warlord in Northeast China did send a military investigation team.

I am afraid that only China is fighting in the world now. If the arms can be bought in China, it will be like a shot in the arm for the current Springfield.From what I learned just now, this young man is the deputy chief of staff of that warlord. Compared with such a young deputy chief of staff, he is a relative of the warlord.If he can be persuaded, Chuntian He will be able to win a big deal, and he has some knowledge of the weapons and equipment of the squadron. I heard that some troops are still using the guns used to shoot birds decades ago.

In fact, there are not many things that Springfield can sell now, and many guns are produced under license during the war.The only thing that can be handed out is the M1903 Springfield rifle, also known as the Springfield rifle. Officially for Citigroup.

Russell led Zhang Anle and his party to the shooting range without any nonsense, and then led them to the shooting range. Zhang Anle took the rifle handed over by the staff. This rifle looked very similar to the G98 in his warehouse.

Skillfully pull the bolt and hold the gun to aim at a target 100 yards away, pull the trigger, and the shot is bang.The target reporter on the opposite side reported 8 rings, and Russell just wanted to praise Zhang Anle's accurate marksmanship.Zhang Anle pulled the bolt of the gun continuously and fired. A total of 5 rounds were fired.The target reporter reported a total score of 47 points, which surprised Russell a little. He didn't expect this young man's marksmanship to be so accurate.

"This is currently the best rifle in the world. It has a long range and high accuracy. The famous combat hero of our country, York, a hunter from Tennessee, used an M1903 rifle to shoot. He fired a total of 20 bullets and killed 21 enemies. " Russell said proudly.

Hearing what Russell said, Zhang Anle didn't take it very seriously. Yankees are so bragging that anyway, their things are the best.But this M1903 is really good, the accuracy is much higher than Mauser's Type 98, it is the best gun for China that lacks ammunition, and more importantly, the M1903 is the same as the M1919 machine gun and Brown that he has always wanted to buy. Ning automatic rifles use the same bullet Springfield 0.30-06 rifle ammunition.This is much simpler for the army to supply. In the future, it can also imitate this kind of bullet.

It's a pity that those guns in the warehouse should be given to the cheap old man to sell for money.

Zhang Anle, who was very satisfied with this manual rifle, called Archie Lane and told him so, and then led the somewhat inexplicable members of the inspection team away.On the car going back, Zhang Anle asked the technicians from Fengtian Ordnance Factory who followed him: "Is it difficult for us to imitate this kind of gun?"

The technicians of Fengtian Ordnance Factory thought for a while and said: "It's not very difficult, because we can now imitate the Mauser Type 98 rifle. This gun is an improved type of Type 98, but..."

"But what? Tell me what you want." Zhang Anle is a famous cold noodle in Fengjun, and his subordinates call him Leng Dianchang, and he is also called Leng Mian Hades.Zhang Anle's face was so frightening that the technician was terrified.

"However, our workers are unskilled, and the output is not high if we produce by ourselves." The technician said with some trepidation.

Zhang Anle fell into deep thought. If his memory is correct, the second Zhifeng war will break out next year, and Zhang Zongchang will be able to occupy Shandong at the earliest.However, how much Fengtian Ordnance Factory can produce in a year depends on the expressions of the technicians. Even if it is higher, Fengtian Army has 10,000+ people, when will it be its turn.Although Zhang Zuolin looked bold, he actually still had scruples about his subordinates who held heavy soldiers.There is no fixed time for the payment of military pay at all, and some will be paid if it can't be delayed any longer.

It seems that I can only rely on myself. The price of this gun should not be high if I buy it now. I don’t know if Archie Lane can surprise himself.After all, manual rifles are the mainstream now, and Browning's automatic rifles don't know how well they perform.The price must be expensive, and it is not one or two points. It is more cost-effective to buy a machine gun as fire support than to buy an automatic rifle.

Seeing Zhang Anle not talking, the technicians sitting together did not dare to breathe. The technical experience of Fengtian Ordnance Factory is really not good, and the monthly output is only a few hundred guns.Now the main task of the factory is to produce bullets, and the guns are all purchased from Japan.What Zhang Zuolin talked about with Japan was mainly about the production line of guns and artillery, but Japan has long regarded Manchuria as its own, so how could it make such a move to raise tigers.So there is no way to buy a gun if you want to buy a production line, which led to Zhang Anle's inspection team.

Back at the hotel, Zhang Anle felt the pain of not having a territory. If he had a territory, he could develop his own strength, how could he be restrained like this.Just when he was depressed, a dialog box popped up from the system that had not moved for more than ten days, saying that you have completed the research on the theory of concentrated fire.It's finally finished. I have studied the most basic theory for more than 3 months.

Which theory should we study next?Now there are not many theories that suit me. After looking for a long time, only the infantry division of World War I is the most suitable, but I can only order this.

Archie Lane returned later, and Russell happily accepted an order for 5 guns and 2000 million rounds of ammunition.Only then did Zhang Anle's mood improve, and he finally had a harvest. This success made him full of hope for his trip to Europe and America.

Colt's manager, Edie Bateman, is considering the company's transformation in his office. Like all American industrial companies, Colt is facing the problem of a sharp drop in orders after the war.He now regrets why he didn't go to the Springfield Armory. His ignorant cousin is doing well there now. After all, Springfield is a state-owned enterprise, so even if there are not many orders, there is no way out.

Just when he was thinking wildly, the phone rang, and when he answered, it was the ignorant cousin Russell that he had just thought of.

"How is my cousin?" Russell didn't like his cousin just as much as his cousin didn't like him.His cousin was too proud and thought he was the best, so this time when Russell received the order, he called to anger him.You must know that when I came to Springfield, my cousin said arrogantly, oh, that company, they invited me and I didn’t go.

"Haha, of course the business is going well. How about you? My dear cousin hasn't started work for a few days." Bateman laughed dryly and asked.

"Yeah, but I just received an order. Unfortunately, the order is too small. If you are a cousin, you will definitely not like it. There are only [-] guns. It is really not worth mentioning. Haha, I will not tell you, cousin, I will go Arranging for delivery." Russell hung up the phone triumphantly, and went out to work while whistling.

"A list of [-] guns, which country will have such a big deal at this time?" Bateman thought for a while and then dialed a number.

Chapter 9Everything goes well

Zhang Anle did not expect that Colt Company would take the initiative to contact him. If he hadn't brought samples, he would have suspected that he had met a liar. Although he didn't understand, there was someone who knew.As soon as the two parties talked, they knew that there was nothing wrong. This was indeed the manager of Colt Company. Bateman didn't think that he was almost regarded as a liar. Thinking about it, he was really too impatient.

Since they came to the door, Zhang Anle would naturally not be polite, and followed Bateman to Colt Company.

Dating back to after the American Civil War, there was a well-known saying in the United States at that time: "Lincoln gave freedom to all slaves, and Colt made them equal." This is the high evaluation of the American people on Colt , and the most beautiful "music" Colt had ever heard in his lifetime.

Colt Company is no longer run by the Colt family, its owner is a group of investors.However, Colt's status in the United States has not changed. The guns it produces are still the standard equipment of the US Army.

When he arrived at the company, Batman regretted even more for his impatience. They were always picky about what they took out, such as why this machine gun was too heavy, and that rifle had too little ammunition.This pistol is not beautiful enough, in short, it makes Colt's products worthless.

Finally the young leader spoke: "Mr. Bateman, we came from America with sincerity, please don't fool us with such outdated things."

What Zhang Anle said made Bateman a little uncertain. Could it be that this young man knew some inside information.The things I have produced are definitely top-notch products in the world now, but seeing this young man's confident appearance, it should be something to rely on. It seems that I can't take out some good things from his pocket today. Here comes the money.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang is indeed a person who has seen the world." Archie Lane's translation is only very in line with the habits of Chinese people.

"To tell you the truth, I do have some new guns here. These guns are approved by the U.S. government, but I haven't placed an order yet. If the quantity you want is acceptable, it's not that we can't produce it for you first." Bart Mangan laughed twice and continued.

"As long as the guns are good and the order is not a problem, our Fengtian Army's 20 troops need more than a little bit of equipment." Zhang Anle's appearance that he has money made Bateman very relieved.He turned his head and gave a few words to the staff. After a while, there were a few more guns similar to the ones in the exhibition hall.

"These guns are all improved versions of the guns shown to you earlier. This is a modified version of the M1911 based on real feedback from the US War Department. Compared with the 1911, it has a slightly rearward trigger, a larger trigger guard, and a wider The front sight, the position of the grip near the trigger guard and the groove, the protruding part above the safety of the grip is extended to prevent the shooter from being injured by the hammer, the tail of the grip is thickened, the hammer is lengthened to facilitate operation, and the grip is simplified In short, it is better than the 1911, and this gun model has been approved by the Ministry of War." Bateman picked up a gun that was almost exactly the same as Zhang Anle's gun and said, it seems that Bateman is a very qualified gun. The manager, he is very familiar with his products, and even improvements are open-mouthed.

"This is the M1918 Browning automatic rifle. Its structure is very simple, and it is easy to disassemble and combine for easy maintenance. As an individual automatic rifle, it can shoot on the move, conduct assault operations, suppress enemy firepower, and provide fire support for one's own side. You can even use it as a light machine gun. More importantly, it is an improved model of 1918, which is only 1918KG lighter than the 6.8. If equipped with this drum that can hold 250 bullets, it can be used as a light machine gun immediately ’” Bateman introduced, grabbing another rifle.

Then he pointed to the gun on the ground and said: "This is the M1919A4 machine gun, which can be said to be the most powerful weapon for killing people. It is an improved version of the M1917A1 Browning heavy machine gun. It is no longer the previous water-cooled machine gun, but an air gun. Cold type, its weight is only 14.05KG, an adult can easily lead him around. Two people can become a combat team instead of the previous three. It can fire 1-450 rounds of ammunition in one minute, which is It is the best choice to suppress the opponent's firepower, or fire support."

After listening to Bateman's introduction, Zhang Anle knew that this machine gun was much better than the MG08 German Maxim heavy machine gun in his warehouse, but the weight was not of the same level.It seems that it is correct to come to the United States first. The gun purchase plan can be completed in the United States. It seems that going to Germany only needs to look at the artillery.

"More importantly, the bullets of these guns are completely compatible with the M1903 you bought." Bateman took the opportunity to say again.

Zhang Anle smiled: "Congratulations, Mr. Bateman, you have successfully convinced me that this Mr. Archie Lane will be my plenipotentiary representative to discuss the purchase with you."

Bateman was overjoyed when he heard that, the factory finally had an order.

After completing the task in the United States, Zhang Anle suddenly felt much more relaxed. The technicians who came with him according to his request participated in the gun production process. Both Bateman and Bernard agreed to this request. Anyway, let you follow If you don't have a production line, you still can't produce it.

Without any pressure, Zhang Anle stayed in the United States for a while, and soon he heard the name of Katie Kergan. Even Bateman was very fascinated by her and called her the most beautiful woman in the world.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Anle, who had been in the United States for almost half a year, suddenly discovered a piece of domestic news when he was reading the newspaper one day. On May 1923, 5, the second special express train from Pukou to Tianjin was speeding on the Jinpu Line. On board, there are more than 5 Chinese and foreign tourists on board, including dozens of foreign journalists and foreign tourists who participated in the inauguration ceremony of the Gongjiaba embankment of the Yellow River in Shandong.In the early morning of the next day, when the train reached Shagou Mountain, which was 200 miles away from Lincheng Station, it was suddenly stopped by more than 3 people from the "Shandong Jianguo Autonomous Army" led by Sun Meiyao, who took away 1000 foreign passengers and 39 Chinese passengers.Except for the Englishman Na Enman who was beaten to death on the spot, all the others were escorted to Chaoyun Temple at the foot of Baodugu Mountain in Fengxian County and imprisoned.

Lincheng robbery!I actually forgot about this, at this moment the system popped up a dialog box.

"The Lincheng robbery happened, and the favorability between China and the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico and other countries dropped by 10."

But Zhang Anle, who calmed down, suddenly smiled, what does this have to do with me, it's not something I should worry about.But I have stayed in the United States long enough, it is time to leave the United States and go to Europe.

Chapter 10 Autumn Exercise

Zhang Zongchang, who is lying in bed and smoking opium, has been living a comfortable life recently. Since his son Zhang Anle went to a foreign country for inspection, his life has become more and more comfortable.It was only then that he realized that his son had helped him so much when he grew up. Just yesterday, that brat sent out several more ammunitions.Now, even if I don't grow opium and just rely on ammunition, I can live a comfortable life. After the salary increase, the soldiers under my command are working harder than before.Then again, this kid has been away for almost a year and he doesn't know when he will come back.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief to send an order." The correspondent shouted outside the door.

"Damn it, what's the matter at this time." He muttered, put down the pipe, and put on his clothes.

"Come in!" Zhang Zongchang lazily replied after packing up.

A 5-year-old correspondent came in outside the door, first saluted Zhang Zongchang, and then read: "The third brigade of the Jilin Defense Army is now ordered to go to Huaide County to participate in the autumn military exercise within [-] days, Fengtian Army Command, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Zuolin."

"Go and call the regiment leaders and the chief of staff to the brigade headquarters for a meeting, and I'll be there right away." Zhang Zongchang knew that this matter was sloppy, so he hurriedly ordered.

"Yes!" The correspondent went down, and Zhang Zongchang also began to put on his military uniform and prepare to go to the brigade headquarters.

"Marshal, where are you going in such a hurry?" Seventh Aunt who was lying on the bed asked softly.

"It's not something you should worry about, just sleep on your own." Zhang Zongchang put on his clothes, buckled his belt, turned and went out.

The conference table at the brigade headquarters was already full of people, including the chief and deputy chief of staff, the three regimental heads, the chief of military supplies, the chief of ordnance, and the chief of the military doctor.

"I received an order, and the commander wants us to drive to Huaide County to participate in the autumn exercise within five days. It is said that the autumn exercise has nothing to do with our motley army before, and the old sun also talked about what is going on?" Seeing Sun Qihe, Zhang Zongchang seemed to have found a backbone, and asked as soon as he sat down.
