8-41 Medieval warfare
There were two letters, one was addressed to Dean Fang, and there were a lot of dense letters written on it, mostly about his experience in Africa, as well as his advice on infectious diseases and public health, while the other for Liu Ziguang only had a few lines written on it:
Stinky villain, when you read the letter, I may have been on the plane back to China for vacation, have you done anything to be sorry for me, I will check it when I get home, I won't write much, the car to Luanda is going to drive, miss you, wait for my call, 88.
The handwriting was very sloppy, it should have been done in a hurry, and it seemed to have Fang Fei's body temperature on it, Liu Ziguang felt guilty for a while, but he didn't show it on his face, and asked calmly: "Dean Fang, when will Fang Fei come back?" ”
"Every six months, the medical team has a group of people who take turns to visit relatives, and this time...... It should be the most recent one, but even if Xiaofei returns to China, she will go to her mother in the provincial capital first. ”
"Oh, that's right, thank you."
"Hehe, young man, hurry up." Dean Fang patted Liu Ziguang on the shoulder, said something inexplicably, and turned to leave.
Hu Rong's sour voice came from behind him: "My girlfriend's letter?" ”
"yes." Liu Ziguang answered, and folded the letter casually and put it in his shirt pocket.
Then there was an awkward silence, and finally Hu Rong silently closed the door, Liu Ziguang shrugged, and went straight out and went home.
……
African prince Martin Chen came to Jiangbei City again, this time the order brought is even more incredible, 500 pulley wire bows, 1,000 spearheads, this order made the business section chief and engineers of the Chenguang Factory scratch their heads, although the Chenguang Factory is not disgusted, any work is accepted, but what kind of product is this, the pulley wire bow is sports equipment, the spearhead is something that can be punched out of the blacksmith shop, and the price of Chen Martin is too low, such a low purchase volume, are not enough to open the mold.
However, Chen Martin was messing around, settled on the old tradition of Chenguang Factory and state-owned units, and attached importance to earning foreign exchange through exports, even if it was a small list of African brothers, he couldn't turn it away, so Lu Tianming brought Liu Ziguang to find out if he could find an alternative to meet the needs of international friends.
So Liu Ziguang came to the business department of Chenguang Factory and had a bilateral meeting with Martin Chen, Martin's suit was still the same as last year, the cuffs of his shirt were a little worn, and it seemed that the economic situation had not improved much.
"Martin, I'm afraid we can't do your order, five hundred pulley wire bows, you should go to a sporting goods equipment manufacturer, we don't have this product in Chenguang Factory, this kind of thing like spearhead can be purchased locally in Africa, why bother to go far." Liu Ziguang said openly and honestly.
"Brother Guang, the only one who can help me is you, sporting goods bows and crossbows, one will cost thousands of yuan, it is too expensive, I know that your imitation ability is very strong, as long as there is a finished product, it can be produced by reverse mapping and mapping; The spearhead is a low-tech thing, but we need it in a hurry, and what can be made in three months by a blacksmith can be produced in one night, and even if you add the time cost of shipping, it is cheaper than building it yourself. ”
Liu Ziguang wondered: "It's a bow and an arrow and a spear, do you want to fight or what?" ”
Martin Chen said solemnly: "Yes, we people of Western Sadamoa are facing a war, and it is the sacred duty of every Caye to resist tyranny. ”
"Wait, wait, wait, your hometown is at war? When is it, who are you fighting with? ”
"In the war with the Wendu people, the Wendu people killed the king, stole the position of the president, brutally oppressed our Caye people, tried in vain to exterminate us, and in order to survive, we had to fight to the death with them."
Liu Ziguang gasped: "How come I don't know about such a big thing." ”
Martin Chen shook his head: "No one in the world will pay attention to the things that happened in a small African country with 500,000 people. ”
"That's why you ordered bows and spears? What's the use of that thing, go straight to AK47, stupid you. ”
"Brother Guang, we are too poor, we don't have the funds to purchase arms, and we are an anti-government* army, and no country will sell us weapons, besides...... Our warriors are good at using bows and spears, sophisticated modern weapons...... Forget it. ”
Liu Ziguang finally understood, and said: "Okay, then I'll help you, go back and let the technical department buy two competitive bows to reverse mapping, and then make appropriate simplifications to reduce costs, spears are not as easy to manufacture as broadswords, and they can be produced directly by punching and adding steel plates, welding an iron pipe as a handle, sturdy and durable, and taking advantage of it, just say that it is a tool for harvesting rubber, and it is more convenient to declare customs, what do you say?" ”
Liu Ziguang said that the head was the Tao, and Martin Chen was overjoyed, "Thank you, Brother Guang!" He warmly shook Liu Ziguang's hand, touched his pocket, and said embarrassedly: "Can you lend me three hundred yuan, I haven't eaten for a long time." ”
"Okay, I'll give you five hundred, and have fun at night, by the way, Huaqing Pool is open again."
"Oh maygod, Huaqing Pool has finally reopened." Martin Chen's face was intoxicated, and he danced again.
……
Liu Ziguang returned to the office, turned on the computer and searched for relevant information about Western Sadamoa on the Internet, to his disappointment, there was extremely little information about this small West African country on the Internet, only a few strokes, saying that this country was originally a Portuguese colony, and was also greatly influenced by France, and became independent in the mid-sixties of the last century, adopted a constitutional monarchy, and the country's pillar industries were rubber forests and rubber plantations, and the economic foundation was extremely poor.
"Bang bang." There was a hurried knock on the door, Deng Yunfeng broke in angrily, slapped the drawings in his hand on Liu Ziguang's table, and shouted, "What is this?" ”
Liu Ziguang picked up the drawings and blinked: "This is a tool knife, an agricultural tool, for cutting bananas." ”
"Come less, this is a banana cutter, it's clearly a head cut, photon, don't hide it from me, our factory has done less to support the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America, but this technical level is also a little worse, our Chenguang factory is not bad at this technology."
"Old Brother Deng, what should I do according to your wishes?"
"According to what I mean, what kind of bow and arrow machete to order, directly on the armored corps, our factory ready-made Japanese small tanks, give them at the cost price, equipped with high-pressure water guns, spray gasoline, and spit fire tanks! Our factory is a military enterprise! Just get a few iron rulers out and don't make the black class brothers laugh off their big teeth. ”
"Stop, stop." Liu Ziguang hurriedly grabbed Deng Yunfeng, who was spitting stars, and said patiently: "I know the strength of our factory, but the people of Western Sadamoa have limited funds, and these iron rulers are sold on credit, and they can't afford 200,000 small tanks, even if they can afford to use them, no one will drive them." ”
"That's right." Deng Yunfeng thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll go back and improve it for you, and the blade will be heat treated to reduce the possibility of curling the blade as much as possible." ”
"I'm sorry for you, old Brother Deng, go back and go to Huaqing Pool to sit in the evening."
"No, then your sister-in-law has to strip me if she wants to go to that place." Deng Yunfeng smiled and left.
After Deng Yunfeng left, Liu Ziguang suddenly became enlightened, no matter how poor Western Sadamowa is, it is also a country, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is unknown whether he can make a pot of gold from this civil war.
……
After a long wait, Huaqingchi finally opened, in fact, not only Huaqingchi ushered in spring, since Song Jianfeng left, hundreds of entertainment venues in the city have reopened, for a time the city's flower baskets and firecrackers are in demand, industry insiders are overjoyed, running to tell each other, the crackdown that lasted nearly a year is finally over!
The welcome girl wearing a high-forked cheongsam stood by the glass revolving door and smiled professionally, greeting the guests who woke up from hibernation.
In the private room on the third floor, Chen Martin, who was wearing a bathrobe, hugged left and right, and held a bottle of 25om1 Carlsberg beer in his hand.
The door was pushed open, and two people in black suits walked in, so startled that Chen Martin almost jumped up, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Zhuo Li and Bei Xiaoshuai, followed by Liu Ziguang and Li Jianguo, wearing bathrobes and slippers, and two waiters carrying beer crates behind them.
"Martin, I haven't seen you for a long time, have a good drink and talk about something." Liu Ziguang said.
The two technicians picked up their small bags with a lot of eyes and went out with a twist.
Martin Chen's eyes stared at the technician's round buttocks reluctantly, until the person disappeared at the door, raised the wine bottle and said, "If you have something strong, it will be even more beautiful." ”
Pei Xiaoshuai snapped his fingers, called the waiter outside in and ordered, "Bring five bottles of Chivas Regal." ”
Drinking mellow Chivas Regal and smoking cigars, Liu Ziguang opened his mouth: "Martin, what is the situation in your country now?" ”
"Our Western Sadamoa was originally a free and beautiful country, and the people lived and worked in peace under the patronage of His Majesty the King. After the Kuba rebellion, the country was plunged into war, and the Kuba obtained the support of the Wendu and the army, proclaimed himself president, and started a war against our Kaya, and we Kaye have reached the most dangerous moment......"
"Wait, the captain of the army can start a rebellion and kill the king, how many people are there in your Western Sadamoa army?" Liu Ziguang asked.
"About two hundred ...... Or three hundred, the highest rank in the army is colonel, and after Kuba proclaimed himself president, he also served as the commander of the army, with the rank of general. ”
"Two or three hundred, that's the level of a reinforced company, so how many of you Caye are there?"
"It's about the same as the Wendu clan, about more than 200,000."
Liu Ziguang made a sudden expression of realization and said, "Then the war between your two clans is mainly based on cold weapons?" ”
"Yes, primitive bows and arrows, rubber tappers, and beautiful feathered headdresses are our main weapons."
