The rifle that Zhuo Fei bought was indeed an imitation Mauser rifle, and it was also copied by the Chinese arsenal, and Hansen only said that it was an imitation Mauser rifle, but did not say the Chinese name of this rifle - Hanyang-made rifle. The prototype of the gun was the German 1888 Committee rifle, which was replaced by the Mauser 1898 rifle in 1898 due to the difficulty of loading and reloading, poor reliability of the shell, and easy to explode.

The Germans then resold the rifle in large quantities to the Qing government in Turkey, some African countries and China, and based on the superstition of the Qing government's Western-style party about the German "Mauser" brand rifle, the German businessman falsely claimed that the 1888 rifle was a Mauser rifle, and successfully sold the design materials and production machinery to the Qing government. Therefore, from 1896, the Hanyang Arsenal began to produce this type of rifle, which was then designated as the 88 type.

In 1899, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau also began to produce this type of rifle, until 1944, this type of rifle was produced in China for nearly 50 years, which was the longest production time of a small weapon in China at that time.

At the same time, because the German-made 1888 rifle imported in the early stage used a full-length barrel sleeve, and the domestic imitation in the early stage also used a full-length barrel sleeve, so its early gun type is also called the "old sleeve". In 1904, the Hanyang Arsenal improved this gun, removed the sleeve of the barrel, replaced it with the upper handguard, changed the bayonet court under the front guard, and the others referred to the German 1898 rifle, improved the door, and changed the strip to the handguard, etc., Zhuo Fei spent a lot of money to buy the rifle from the teahouse is the improved Hanyang-made rifle Zhuo Fei did not explain to Hansen, he bought this rifle only to add a scope on the rifle, the sniper rifle first appeared in the American Civil War morale, It is said that during the American Civil War, some Confederate soldiers were equipped with British Weyworths rifles with triple scopes, and set a long-range sniper record of 800 yards. The earliest sniper rifles were even equipped with "sighting barrels", and the shooter used the barrel to "spy on the object".

Since the Boer War and the Winter War, the sniper rifle has officially become the equipment of the troops, only Britain and the Soviet Union, because the British soldiers were injured by the Boers who were mostly sharpshooters, and the Soviet troops were injured by the shooting technology of Finnish soldiers, so the two countries officially trained a large number of infantry or special mission personnel with sniper expertise, which began to have a profound impact on countries around the world, and then followed suit.

However, although the armies of various countries slowly began to recognize the value of sniper rifles, it was not until after the stalemate of trench warfare in World War I that sniper rifles were discovered to be able to exert one-sided tactical flexibility and effect in trench warfare, so a large number of them were turned out of the armory and sent to the front, as for the first official military sniper rifle, it should be the Lee Enfield rifle MKIII rifle.

As an auxiliary sight for snipers in World War I, an improved version of the trench rifle of the First World War, only a periscope sighting device with a mass of 5.6 kg consisting of a small periscope and an additional bracket was mounted on the butt part. Today, military sniper rifles are no longer the bulky style of World War I, and the bolts affected by sighting devices are designed to be safer, simpler, stronger and more reliable, and the scope multipliers specially developed for sniper rifles have also become larger.

The Hanyang-made rifle that Zhuo Fei bought was no different from the Hanyang-made rifles he wanted to sell on the black market, Zhuo Fei had used the Hanyang-made rifles captured from the bandits several times on the way to Xuzhou to shoot prey, but none of them allowed him to lock on to a target 500 meters away. Of course, Zhuo Fei knew that this was not a problem with the rifle, and the main reason why his locking distance increased to 500 meters was because of the scope attached to the rifle.

The scope is now in Zhuo Fei's hand, and at this time, a 2.5x scope, and his style has used the Hanyang-made rifle in his hand to calculate, if this 2.5x scope is added to a real Mauser rifle, maybe his accurate firing range can be increased to at least 600 meters. Zhuo Fei was going to Nanjing, only he knew that the city of Nanjing would be attacked by the Japanese army in the future and be captured, and a weapon with strong lethality was extremely important to Zhuo Fei.

The weapons seized from the bandits were sent to the teahouse at night, including some gold and silver jewelry, but what Zhuo Fei didn't expect was that Hansen, who was responsible for transporting these things to the teahouse, did not bring back the money, but drove Zhuo Fei back a car. "Boss, this is an eighty percent new car, if this thing is new, it can't be bought back for just a few hundred yuan." didn't care at all about Zhuo Fei's gaze at him, and Hansen praised the car he got back.

"Hans, I didn't say that the car you drove back was bad, I just wanted to say, what's the use of you getting this thing back? What we lack now is money, not face and pomp. Obviously, Zhuo Fei was not very satisfied with Hansen driving back a car, but in front of Jin Dabiao and them, Zhuo Fei did not blame Hansen, but waited for Hansen to give a reasonable explanation.

Han Sen had obviously already thought of how Zhuo Fei would react, looked at Zhuo Fei slightly embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Xuzhou is not very far from Nanjing, I just thought that if the boss and the Zhao family fall out, the car is much more comfortable than the carriage, and the speed of the car is not slow." It's a big deal that when we get to Nanjing, we can sell it cheaply, and I think there will be many people willing to take advantage of it. ”

After listening to Han Sen's explanation, Zhuo Fei didn't speak immediately, but just lowered his head and pondered. "Okay, forget it this time, next time if there is something like this again, I hope you can tell me beforehand." Zhuo Fei didn't open his mouth to reprimand Hansen, in fact, he already understood what Hansen meant. Rather than rushing with a lot of money, it seems more appropriate to buy such a valuable car, which, in Hansen's words, is a big deal to wait until it arrives in Nanjing.

Seeing that Zhuo Fei didn't reprimand himself, Hansen, who was full of smiles, asked Zhuo Fei for some money again, so he drove a car and pulled Zhuo Yan, who was full of surprise, and walked away, saying that he was going to get oil. Xuzhou is still more than 300 kilometers away from Nanjing, although there will be some villages and towns on the way, Hansen does not know if there is a possibility of buying oil on the way, so he must buy enough fuel for a car to drive to Bengbu before leaving Xuzhou.

"Brother Zhuo, I didn't say you, although this big-nosed foreigner promised to work for you, you shouldn't give him the money. In case this big nose has bad intentions, I'm afraid that your money may be wasted, and we have earned it back with our heads. I know that Brother Zhuo, you are a person with great ability, but I have to experience more things in the rivers and lakes than you. Seeing that Zhuo Fei gave Hansen a lot of money without the slightest pause, Jin Dabiao, who had been watching coldly, decided to persuade Zhuo Fei.

Jin Dabiao's persuasion sounded more like preaching to Zhuo Fei, but he also knew that Jin Dabiao had good intentions, so he didn't show impatience and irritability. Time passed little by little, and it wasn't until Han Sen returned with Zhuo Yan that Jin Dabiao let Zhuo Fei go. "Boss, don't you need money? I'm going to give us a chance to make a lot of money? Hansen, who came out of the car, was very energetic, pulled Zhuo Fei into the room and spoke.

"I went with Stone to get oil, and I bought enough oil at an Englishman's trading house, and the manager of the trading house accidentally saw a pistol pinned to Stone's waist, and he haunted me with that, and I thought he was thinking we were gunmen." Han Sen said a lot of things in the fog cover of Yunshan Mountain, and saw that Zhuo Fei was a little impatient, so he turned to the topic. "The manager of the comptoir is an Englishman named Henry, and it is said that a few days ago he was threatened by a group of Japanese Lang people to buy oil from other merchants' luggage, and Henry did not agree to the deal proposed by those Japanese Lang people, but he was afraid of being threatened again, so he wanted to ask me to help him solve this trouble."

Proudly slapping Zhuo Fei, Hansen smiled, "Henry said that if the matter is done, he will pay me 50 yuan as a reward." "Jinan has long been one of the areas that the Japanese army wants to control, because the Jiaoji Railway will pass through here, and when Zhuo Fei entered the city, he had already seen Japanese people wearing kimonos on the street, but he just didn't expect that what Hansen said would be related to the Japanese.

Zhuo Fei, who had already shot 100 Japanese soldiers, was not as afraid of the Japanese as other Chinese, and he even had some expectations that he would be able to shoot Japanese soldiers again, otherwise he would not have run to Nanjing. After listening to Hansen's report, Zhuo Fei smiled, "Hansen, I think you can take over this business, but we need information related to those Japanese Lang people." If Henry can give us accurate information, maybe we can help Henry out of trouble tonight. ”

Zhuo Fei got two authentic German original 20-shot fast and slow machines from Jin Dabiao, but he never had the opportunity to test the gun, if the manager of the trading house named Henry provided information about those Japanese Lang people, Zhuo Fei would not mind testing these Japanese Lang people. In Zhuo Fei's heart, there is no difference between good and evil, all he has is hatred between countries, and he can kill the Japanese and get a lot of money in turn, Zhuo Fei feels that this kind of behavior is no different from being a killer in his later life.
