Chapter Seventy-Seven: Duncan

This blonde foreigner was a little downcast, and Liu Chang could smell the heavy smell of engine oil from his body.

Wearing a heavy dress overalls and holding a pair of wrenches in his hand, he introduced himself to Liu Chang: "I'm Duncan!" I have good stuff that I'm sure General Yoo will be interested in. ”

Next to him, Zhou Xiuying introduced to Liu Chang: "This Mr. Duncan is a person from Tessie Ireland, and he is the most enthusiastic and righteous. ”

Liu Chang arched his hand: "It turns out that Duncan is a Britishman first......"

As soon as he said this, Duncan almost jumped up, and he said loudly: "No, no, General Willow, don't mix me with those British who deserve to die, I am a free Irishman." ”

Liu Chang only then knew that Duncan was a radical who was enthusiastic about Irish independence, and since the British conquest of Ireland, the history of Ireland can only be composed of blood and tears, especially the Great Famine in Ireland that just happened made all real Irish people hate Britain to the core.

Duncan is a typical Irish radical who explains who he is: "We are free Irish, and Ireland is the most powerful country in the West. ”

Liu Chang has no interest in Duncan's identity, whether it is an Irishman or a British, they are all foreigners, and he is concerned about the "good things" that Duncan brought: "Your Excellency Duncan, I am very grateful to you for assisting my subordinates in the glorious operation, what goods do you have that interest me." ”

"This is a good thing I took out of the Springfield Arsenal!" Duncan said very mysteriously: "It's just that no one in your eastern country recognizes his value, and it's definitely a good thing!" ”

"You just want to be a small warlord, or you want to accept the Chinese government's recruitment, so it doesn't matter if I have good things or not, but if you want to become a real emperor, then my goods are indispensable for Your Excellency!"

As he spoke, he had already taken out his goods, and Liu Chang saw many drill bits, large and small models: "This is a drill bit?" ”

"You really know the goods, you know that this is a drill, amazing, amazing! You are the first Chinese to recognize these treasures! Duncan praised, "I have more good goods!" ”

Not only did he have drill bits, but he also took out dozens of well-maintained broach heads, and Liu Chang's eyes seemed to see a second beauty like Zhou Xiuying: "Very good, very good!" ”

With ready-made drill bits and broach heads, you can go straight to the machine, especially this broach head, which can directly draw rifling: "Do you use these drill bits and broach heads?" ”

"How could it not, I'm a real engineer at the Springfield Arsenal!" Duncan told Liu Chang: "It only takes a few days, and I can make a broaching machine for you!" ”

This is really a treasure, Liu Chang looked at the drill bits and broach heads in Duncan's hands, it was like seeing Zhou Xiuying's stunning appearance.

Duncan continued to talk about his identity: "You are a real big man, you have an eye, I have been in China for so long, and I want to sell these broach bits and drill bits, no one knows the goods, and I am willing to buy them from me at the price of scrap metal, and I am willing to accept your employment if you want." ”

"Good!" Liu Chang is very happy to see this foreigner who came to serve voluntarily, although this Duncan is obviously experiencing great financial difficulties, but he lacks such talents: "How much salary do you want every month?" ”

"How much salary?" Duncan hesitated: "I know a lot of knowledge, and you will definitely be interested in this knowledge, I participated in the war between the United States and Mexico, and I know how to make explosives, and I know how to make sulfuric acid." ”

"Sulfuric !!" Liu Chang's interest came suddenly, everyone knows that sulfuric acid is the key to industrial development, with sulfuric acid, it is equivalent to everything: "Will you make sulfuric acid?" ”

"That's right!" Duncan's words opened, and he gushed about how to make sulphurous acid in the lead chamber method: "Since 1749 this has been the most common and best method in the world, and if I am given enough manpower, I can produce almost exactly the same sulphuric acid as it is produced in Europe." ”

What kind of talent is this! Liu Chang felt a little unreliable, this Duncan participated in the Mexican-American War, and he also worked as a technician in the Springfield Arsenal, he could make sulfuric acid, and even make explosives, which is simply a must-have for the traverser's home!

He didn't know that Duncan was a real Irish terrorist, who had caused several horrific incidents in Europe and the Americas, and that for a terrorist, how to make sulfuric acid and how to make explosives was a common thing.

"And I brought a full hundred liters of concentrated sulfuric acid from Shanghai, and I have a special method to use concentrated sulfuric acid as an introduction to the lead chamber method, and continuously produce more concentrated sulfuric acid!" Duncan showed off his skills: "With sulfuric acid, nitric acid can be produced, and thundermercury can be produced!" ”

Next to him, Demons was already crying out: "Oh God! You brought the sulfuric acid on board, God! Good thing nothing happened! ”

Duncan, as a fairly senior terrorist, ignored De Mons's exclamation: "Also, I will make black powder, real granular black powder!" ”

Liu Chang was more interested in the fact that he could make thunder mercury, and with thunder mercury he could make fire caps.

For Liu Chang, the fire cap is a necessity that must be made but cannot be made at all, and the firing pistol becomes a burning stick without a fire cap, but the firing pistol is the best equipment that Liu Chang can get at present, counting the forty-five shots purchased this time, Liu Chang already has sixty firing pistols in his hands.

Duncan went on to explain his knowledge: "As a veteran of the Mexican-American War, I will also maintain all the firearms that the troops are equipped with, smoothbore guns, rifled guns, flintlock pistols, firing pistols, Minny rifles, ......"

Talent! Talent!

Liu Chang only has such an sigh, this person may be inconspicuous in Shanghai, but Liu Chang is a real treasure here, Liu Chang asked without hesitation: "How much do you want?" ”

"How much?" Duncan also hesitated for a long time: "I want two hundred silver yuan a month, no, no, no, no, this is too little, not in line with my worth." ”

"Two hundred and fifty silver yuan, and my salary will be paid in advance at the beginning of each month."

Duncan quoted what he thought was a high salary, waiting for Liu Chang to cut the price, and his bottom line was at least one hundred and fifty silver yuan a month.

He is not ready to work in Liu Chang's army for a long time, as long as he earns a few months and raises enough funds, he is ready to return to Europe to continue his terrorist bombing career.

"Two hundred and fifty silver dollars a month?"

"Yes, I want two hundred and five."

"Deal!"

Liu Chang turned back to De Mons and said, "I'm very satisfied, two forty-eight taels of gold ingots, as long as you have enough goods, it's yours!" ”
