Of course, the deficit has to be made up.

However, the 70,000-point "bee loan," Lin Chao didn't care.

"Let's go, let's go to Bahia."

When you come to Brazil, of course, you have to go to El Salvador, the capital of Bahia.

When the Portuguese colonized South America, they landed nearby.

Later, it was discovered that the terrain was dangerous, so a fortress was built on the coastal cliff.

As the colony expanded, numerous plantations were built, and El Salvador became a slave trading post.

Now that's all a thing of the past.

If anything, it's the streets full of mixed-race people.

It's just that many of them seem to use their talents in the wrong place.

In just one hour, Lin Chao saw at least 4 chases.

Of course, every time it is accompanied by the words "catch the thief".

And even more troublesome are the young women who are wearing revealing clothes.

As long as there is a suitable person, they will come up and talk to them, which is annoying.

However, after seeing Christina, most of them dispersed with interest.

The city of Salvador is divided into two urban districts.

The upper town is the old town, and the buildings are very old.

What impressed Lin Chao the most was the church, and there was one almost every now and then.

This reminded him of a popular phrase among foreign tourists in the early days of domestic reform.

"Look at the temple during the day and sleep at night."

And Christina is more interested in the lower town.

It is a hub for handicrafts, most notably knitted.

Lin Chao also opened the "buy, buy, buy" mode.

After seeing how many women's shawls he bought, Christina asked in surprise:

"Curator, do you have any other girlfriends?"

“……。”

Seeing Lin Chao's dumbfounded appearance, she showed a look of disdain on her face again.

"How can you get such a gift, you should go to Christina!"

Christina is both a personal and a place name.

It is a small town near El Salvador and is named after the processing of jewelry.

Several of the world's largest jewellery companies have their own workshops here.

Lin Chao also wanted to take a look.

After all, the old man is a guy who lacks taste.

In case at the wedding, hand the aunt a huge gold ring.

The Lin family's face will be clean.

However, the only vehicle from El Salvador to Cristina is a dilapidated minibus.

Of course, Lin Chao didn't want to wronged himself, so he asked Ah Jiu to rent an SUV.

After all, going out in such heat without air conditioning is not a good idea.

What is surprising is that there are people from the security company who came with the car.

The manager said with a smile on his face:

"Sir, our personnel are brave and will never let you suffer a little."

When Lin Chao was about to refuse, he found that what the security guard was holding was actually a "Madsen" light machine gun.

The gun was developed in the 80s of the 19th century. Designed by H. Madsen.

In 1902, the Madsen light machine gun was officially produced.

In 1904, it began to be equipped with the Danish army and was used on the Russo-Japanese battlefield.

Because of its excellent performance, it was immediately used by 34 countries, including the Great Qing Kingdom.

The Madsen light machine gun uses an upper reload.

Most of them have curved magazines with a bullet capacity of 32 rounds.

Norway has also used drums with a capacity of 100 rounds.

Machine guns come in a wide range of calibers, from 6.5 mm to 20 mm.

Among them, there are more than 7.92 mm, 7.62 mm, and 6.5 mm.

The caliber of the customized Madsen machine gun of the Qing Dynasty is 7.92 mm.

In 1908, the Guangdong General Ordnance Factory began to imitate the Madsen machine gun and achieved success, calling it "light machine fast gun" at that time. ”

Subsequently, the Kaifeng Arsenal also began to imitate.

However, the cost of the Madsen machine gun remained high, and the number of imitations was not numerous.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Ordnance Industry Administration of the Nationalist Government ordered 3,300 Madsen light machine guns from Denmark.

They arrived between March 1938 and March 1940 and played an important role in the war of resistance.

This batch of light machine guns is equipped with a tripod, which can be used as a heavy machine gun or anti-aircraft machine gun in positional warfare.

During its use, the national army found that the performance of the Madsen light machine gun was stronger than that of the Czech "ZB-26." ”

As a result, the Ordnance Administration decided to make an imitation.

In 1938, they sent personnel to Denmark to negotiate and purchase production licenses and related equipment.

In April 1939, the Ordnance Industry Administration established the 51st Factory Preparatory Office.

At that time, the plan was to build a factory in Kunming and use the more than 1,000 machines ordered for production.

It is initially estimated that the plant will be able to produce 500 Madsen light machine guns per month after completion.

But what is regrettable is that in June 1940, the ordered production equipment and drawings were blown up by the Japanese army at the storage station of the southwest transportation office of the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

However, according to the records, in 1941, Factory 51 still produced 12 Madsen machine guns.

There are two theories about the source of drawings, one is that it was produced according to the drawings of the arsenal at the end of the Qing Dynasty; The other is that the arsenal has mapped the parts.

Due to the lack of relevant equipment at hand, they had to turn to the production of Czech products.

After the founding of New China, the People's Liberation Army also had a lot of Madsen light machine guns on hand, but their performance was far behind.

So the caliber of the gun was changed to 7.62 mm and it was used as a militia weapon until the 70s.

Since then, most of these old guns have been recycled. Nowadays, it is difficult to find one, and it is even more difficult to wear a tripod.

A few years ago, Citi had a Madsen light machine gun for auction.

Because he brought tripods and other equipment, he finally sold for $20,000.

Lin Chao pointed to the Madsen and said:

"How much does this gun cost?"

The manager of the security company was stunned.

This light machine gun was knocked out of the army, and even the rifling was almost smoothed.

Usually, it acts as a scare person.

But the one in front of him, why don't you want a gun, is it possible to have an addiction to a bodyguard?

After thinking about it, he held out five fingers.

This old gun was bought for 3,000 reais, and it is already a friendly price if it is not doubled.

Lin Chao was stunned.

That's less than $1,700, which is just too cheap.

He pointed to the machine gun and said:

"The tripod of this gun is still there!"

The manager slapped his head.

"Sir, the tripod of the machine gun costs 1,000 reais, I'll get it if I need it."

R$6,000 is a little over $1,800, which is too cheap.

林超 says:

"$1,800, I don't have reais."

The manager quickly nodded.

Although the official price of 1 US dollar is about 3.2 reais, it can be exchanged for at least 4 reais on the black market.

In fact, he has earned almost 1,200 reais more.

Thinking of this, he now says:

"Sir, the company's warehouse is nearby, would you like to take a tour?"

Lin Chao nodded.

There are not many weapons in the warehouse, and the state is also very bad, and it is estimated that if you shoot it, you will fall apart.

But to Lin Chao's surprise, there was a Lee Enfield NO.1 rifle in the corner.

It was a World War I rifle with a market price of around $600.

But what made Lin Chao cry and laugh was that the body of this gun turned out to be African "yellow sandalwood". ”

In the Chinese market, this kind of wood is also called "African yellow pear", and it is worth more than a gun to make beads.

"How much does this gun cost?"

"$500."

"Deal!"
