Chapter 22 Customizing Cold Weapons
Taking advantage of the fact that the recruited manpower had not yet arrived, Hu Biao, who was mixed in the concession, also formed a good relationship with some foreigners in the concession. Although he is a friend of wine and meat, Hu Biao knows better that as long as there are interests, this kind of friendship relationship is very stable.
Compared with many people in this era, Hu Biao had a lot of dealings with foreigners in his later years. In the eyes of these foreigners, interests come first, and the so-called friendship often comes second.
As long as Hu Biao can bring them benefits, these foreigners will regard Hu Biao as a close friend. With the help of the influence and channels of these foreigners, Hu Biao soon rented a small two-story western-style building in the concession.
Even if the rent is not cheap, Hu Biao feels that the money is worth spending. This small western-style building was rented in Brooke's name. In addition to the rent, Hu Biao also gave Brooke some hardship money.
After securing a place to live, Hu Biao took over Xu Sandao, who was already able to throw away his crutches. Watching Hu Biao walking openly in a residential area inhabited by foreigners, Xu Sandao also felt that his eyes were a little insufficient.
He whispered slightly: "Biaozi, how did you come to this kind of place?" Most of the people who live here seem to be foreign devils, right? ”
"Yes! It is precisely because there are many foreign devils in the neighborhood that I deliberately spent a lot of money to rent a house here. Squad Leader Qin, they should have a few days to come out. If you say so, I'll stay here for the next few days to recuperate.
Later, I'll recruit a housekeeper to come over with Yahuan, and if you are temporarily wronged, you will pretend to be my bodyguard. Although we will not stay here for a long time, we can go back to Shanghai and have a place to stay. Don't worry, that's what foreign devils are all about! ”
Watching Hu Biao say these words lightly, Xu Sandao still felt a little worried. What surprised Xu Sandao the most was undoubtedly that Hu Biao could speak foreign language, and he seemed to be chatting with the foreign devils he met.
Seeing this, Xu Sandao also muttered in his heart: "This guy, is he really stupid?" ”
In Xu Sandao's eyes, Hu Biao has great ability to fight bravely. But in other places, it's similar to him, just a martial artist who can die hard. Now that he has changed into a dress, Hu Biao's whole person has become very different.
This kind of change is simply subverting his imagination in Xu Sandao's opinion!
took Xu Sandao to live in the rented small western-style building, and Hu Biao, who knew that Xu Sandao must be very confused, also said in a timely manner: "Brother Xu, there are some things I don't know what to say." But one thing, I really treat you as a brother.
In the past few days, you can rest assured that you will stay here to recuperate, and you don't have to worry about other things for the time being. After squad leader Qin and them come out, let's discuss how we should go from here.
Even if we still have to fight little devils in the future, we have to talk about the specific regulations. From now on, we will have the final say in our own affairs. But there are some things that you can't be too wronged by.
To put it mildly, let's beat the little devils, which is to tie the head to the waistband of the trousers. At least I hope that we can all live a long life and serve the country loyally, and we can also take care of the people around us and let them all live a good life. ”
Compared with Hu Biao, who is alone, Xu Sandao and these people have families. In Hu Biao's plan, the brothers who are willing to work with him will give a settlement fee. In the future, if there are gains in wars, some of them will also be used as rewards.
Although it is not for money to fight, Xu Sandao and these people are soldiers, and they can't completely ignore the life and death of their families. Even if the military salary was small in the past, sometimes they would ask someone to send the money home. There is only one purpose, which is to hope that the family can have a better life.
In the future, these people will follow him, and Hu Biao can't be too wronged by them. The simple comradeship may make the team work together in a short time. But what Hu Biao hopes is that he must have the final say in the affairs of the combat squad.
These recruited comrades-in-arms fought with him more in the form of mercenaries. And what Hu Biao has to do is not only to train them, but also to let them have no worries. Even if you die in battle, you don't have to worry about your family not being able to survive.
Although his heart was greatly shaken, Xu Sandao somewhat understood that from the moment he chose to stay, he should have the intention of being a subordinate. The snake can't be headless, and in the future, Hu Biao will undoubtedly be the leader of this team.
The greater the ability of the leader, the safer and more secure the way for them to follow. Thinking about this, Xu Sandao also felt a lot more comfortable. Being able to rent a house here also shows that Hu Biao is a capable person.
After straightening out his emotions, Xu Sandao also smiled and said: "These things, you can just take the idea, I don't know much about the truth, but I know that you are a person with great ability." Since I choose to stay, I will listen to you in everything. ”
"Brother Xu, I can't stand this. I pulled you out, more because I wanted to change my life. In my opinion, fighting little devils does not necessarily go to the front. In fact, there is a lot we can do in the rear.
At least I think we can reap more benefits by following the little devil and looking for an opportunity. Although we don't fight wars for money, who would think that we have more money in our hands? Who doesn't want a good life for their family? ”
"Brother, you don't want to be a Jiangyang thief, do you?"
"Hey, hey! It also depends on who is the thief! You can not only fight devils, but also make money, don't you do this business? ”
"!"
After laughing, Hu Biao placed Xu Sandao properly and left the concession alone. Come to the slums of the concession and find a blacksmith shop that looks small. I came to the blacksmith shop to create something special.
Seeing Hu Biao in a dress enter the store, the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop also looked a little restrained. After listening to Hu Biao's intention, the shopkeeper also said carefully: "This gentleman, can you let the old man take a look at your drawings first?" ”
"Yes! But there is one thing I hope the master will forgive me, if I can create something I painted, it must not be leaked. As long as the things are good, I can give more hard money in terms of price. ”
"It's nature! I have been a blacksmith for more than 20 years, and I still understand some truths! ”
After receiving the drawings handed over by Hu Biao, the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop saw the graphics on them and knew that these things were sharp weapons for killing. But as a businessman, the shopkeeper still doesn't want to push off this business.
In these years, business is already difficult to do, and it is not easy to have a profitable business, how can the shopkeeper be willing to push it out?
After listening to Hu Biao's request, the shopkeeper said with a little embarrassment: "Sir, these things can be typed out, but if you want to ensure quality, you must use good steel." This price may be a bit expensive! ”
"Shopkeeper, first of all, I said, as long as the things are good, money is not a problem! In addition to the quality assurance, I will only give you seven days. Seven days later, I came to pick up the goods. I can pay the deposit upfront and settle the rest when I get the goods! ”
took out a pack of good oceans from his body, and the shopkeeper looked at it with hot eyes. I even knew in my heart that there would be trouble building these things. But the shopkeeper felt that it was really not possible to fight these things himself, and not let his apprentices handle them.
Anyway, the place where the iron is struck is in the backyard, and the front is more for selling. Work hard at night, seven days should be enough. The most important thing is that if this business can be successful, the profit is still very considerable!
Gritting his teeth, the shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Pushing Dayang in front of the shopkeeper, Hu Biao also said calmly: "Master, I think you are also an understanding person, and I won't say much about some things." I don't want anyone else to know about this except the old master.
If the things made by the master are to my liking, I will find the master to do this kind of work in the future. As long as the master doesn't say it, I believe no one will know that these things are made from your shop. This truth, the master should understand, right? ”
"Understood! Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others! There are rules in one line, and these things will be personally responsible for them, and they will not let others interfere. If Mr. is still satisfied with what he has typed, then we are also clear of money and goods.
Out of this door, the old man has never seen Mr., and the old man has never come to the old shop. If it weren't for the difficulties of the world, this kind of living decay would not dare to accept it. I just hope that Mr. won't bring the outside things into the old shop. ”
"The old master is really an understanding person! Rest assured, as long as the master is tight-lipped, your shop will prosper! ”
can understand the deep meaning of each other's words, and Hu Biao also feels that this blacksmith master is also a smart person. In fact, the tactical knives, three-edged bayonets, and special warfare bows and crossbows he created this time are all sharp weapons for killing the enemy.
All this equipment was prepared by Hu Biao for the combat squad that was about to be formed. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. In Hu Biao's view, the importance of combat equipment is also an important guarantee for ensuring the victory of the small detachment in combat.
Although the battlefield is the leading role of hot weapons, cold weapons are also indispensable if you are fighting behind enemy lines. These three weapons are also Hu Biao's comprehensive consideration, and he feels that they can still be created.
Even the performance and quality of special warfare bows and crossbows cannot be compared with the military bows and crossbows used in previous lives. But in Hu Biao's opinion, with such a sharp weapon, it will save a lot of trouble when infiltrating the whistle.
Military bows and crossbows are used well, and the power they exert may also become a weapon for killing enemies on the battlefield. If you can't make a silencer for the time being, this kind of bow and crossbow can undoubtedly play a great role in replacing it!
