Chapter 133: The Position of the City Guard
The attitude of the Senate towards Champa Port at this time was to provide comprehensive support, whether it was materials, food, clothing, and weapons were constantly being transported to Champa Port, and now even if it was the grain used to cook porridge in the soup kitchen shed in the city, the words "Senate Assets" were printed on the packaging bags.

The princess couldn't help but be a little shocked in the face of the strength of the Senate at this time, she knew very well that these senators in Dongfang Port, who once called themselves Americans and now called themselves Chinese, had only landed here more than three months ago. In her cognition, building a few houses in three months and building a short section of the road is already a great achievement, but the Senate in front of her shows a huge ability that is completely invincible. Speaking of clothes alone, almost all of the tens of thousands of displaced people in this port need clothes, and even if these patriarchs bring more clothes and fabrics, they should be used up at this time. But now not only have they not stopped supplying fabrics, but now they are even able to provide ready-to-wear garments, which look very rudimentary, but are so large that every refugee they have ordered them has been distributed. This is an unattainable miracle in Annam or the Wu Dynasty. She still deeply remembers that a few years ago, the city defense troops in Champa Port changed their battle uniforms, only 6,000 sets, and mobilized tens of thousands of people in and around Champa Port to make clothes to resist labor, and it took a year to make them, and there were many waste products. Afterwards, she also sent someone down to investigate, and all the officials she handled made a lot of money.
However, this time the investigators she sent down were in a state of disarray, and all the materials transported from Dongfang Port this time were distributed and supervised by their naturalized people and veterans, and even the new army they sent to train was just maintaining law and order on the sidelines at this time.
This gave her a bad sign that these Chinese did not seem to trust their subjects. Although the Chinese not only paid for guns, but also sent personnel to train their own new army. But the problem is that although the Senate rifles used by the Marines in the Eastern Harbor look the same as the rifles of their own new army, during the battle, some soldiers of the new army reported to the overseers she sent that the Senate rifles used by the squadron were more than one and a half times as far as their own. This situation was also reported to them by the officers and soldiers who were on the tower with the Marines on the day of the siege, and these veterans even had an extremely special unit, these people in groups of two were lying on the tower or in some places with good views, and shooting with a weapon completely different from the rifles of the Senate, these strange rifles were not only very accurate, but also had an unbelievably long range, even at a distance of five or six hundred paces.
At this time, Princess Ji began to have a pimple in her heart, what kind of concept is five or six hundred steps? This distance is not even as big as a finger, how can it be possible to shoot a target accurately? She once consulted Qian Longzhou about this magical rifle, but Qian Longzhou was always vague, or he was concerned about him.
However, Qian Longzhou gave her a strange gun, saying that it was a 1628 revolvers. These revolvers are monkey versions or poor quality made by the Military Work Committee of the Senate temporarily, but it is a pity to scrap them directly, and they are ready to be tossed to Champa Port to exchange foreign exchange. Princess Ji didn't feel a big deal about this pistol at first, it couldn't be just a small handcuff, because the process of polishing the handle part of these pistols was too complicated, so many times there was a bit of a cut hand, plus in order to prevent rust, it was also coated with a lot of lard, which gave her a bad feeling in her hand. But when she pulled the trigger, she immediately discovered the horrors of this unassuming revolver. The pistol claims to have a range of 30 meters, but in fact this pistol can easily hit a humanoid target of about 50 meters. This immediately reminded the princess that the pistol that Qian Longzhou was carrying when the barbarians attacked the camp that night, although she later tried many ways to trick Qian Longzhou into playing with the pistol without success. The pistol bullets are still 9 mm Pyrabam rounds, and lead bullets made of recovered cartridges filled with black ammunition are used, which are very powerful against unarmored living targets.
The princess's careful thinking immediately moved, such a weapon must be a militaristic weapon of the Senate, if she can equip her father's personal guard battalion, she can make a lot of money in the middle! And this pistol is small, easy to carry, and not cumbersome to operate at all. She had equipped each of her female guards with a suit, and now the women in blue Ao Dai wore a belt around their waists, which was filled with spare bullets, and the yellow cowhide holster showed a white ivory pistol handle.
However, at the same time, this transaction has also been questioned by some veterans, including Lin Shenhe.
"I am categorically opposed to the sale of pistols to these other forces." Lin Shenhe slapped the table in front of Gu Qingqian at this time. "I don't care if you sell rifles, that thing is cumbersome to operate, difficult to maintain, and it takes a long time to form combat effectiveness, and it is difficult to carry; But the pistol is different, as long as the sleeve is long, it can be directly carried in the hand to swagger through the market! You can put it in your pocket and stuff it under your trouser leg, and you can't prevent it! When the U.S. military was in Iraq, ordinary people could have AKs, but not pistols, in order to make it more difficult for potential enemies to carry weapons to assassinate. ”
Gu Qingqian didn't understand this, "But you have to look at the cost of pistols and rifles!" ”
"Of course I know the cost, a pistol costs a quarter of what a rifle costs."
"yes!" Gu Qingqian hurriedly explained, "But the price of the equipment we sold to Annan is the same as the Senate rifle!" And the bullets have to buy ours! That's a lot of money! ”
"That's a lot of money, but we can't afford it!" Lin Shenhe slapped it on the table again, "You have to understand how much of a threat the pistol is to us!" You know that so-called headshot guy a few years ago, right? He approached the victim with a pistol, shot him directly, and then robbed him. It took years to shoot him down when Skynet cameras were everywhere in the old time and space, and there were security forces everywhere. What if such criminals appeared on this plane? ”
"Our weapons are sold to the military!" Gu Qingqian was a little puzzled, "How can criminals get it?" ”
"The three-eyed gun is still the standard weapon of the Wu Dynasty army, isn't it also used by some rural villagers in Anyun now? When we attacked Wu'an Village, there were tiger squat cannons! Lin Shenhe retorted, "Money can buy everything, the current army has no loyalty, as long as you give silver, nothing can't be bought, do you know what you bought last time you went to the south of Anyun City?" ”
Gu Qingqian stared at Lin Shenhe with big eyes, "What did you buy?" ”
"Waist card! With a waist card, you have an identity, and now there is an official body of the Wu Dynasty army directly in the special investigation team, and if you directly enter other Wu Dynasty provinces, you can use the waist card to directly cover up your identity. You can buy a waist card, just a pistol, what can't you buy? Nothing more than a price high. ”
"But are pistols that much of a threat to us?"
"Absolutely! I don't want a wrestler from the brocade guard to touch the back of a certain veteran watching a play one day and put a fire on the back of his head with a pistol he carries with him! If such a thing happens, it is a political mistake! Don't make that mistake! ”
"So we've sold a hundred pistols now!" Gu Qingqian is afraid of knowing this.
"This!" Lin Shenhe couldn't help but look dark, "A hundred pistols!" That's enough to equip a whole company! How many bullets have you sold? Was it produced on this plane or reassembled? He knew that Gu Qingqian would not sell the original ammunition, after all, the original ammunition was the most valuable, and each one was counted in the logistics department.
"The one provided for the princess herself to play is reloaded, and the rest is produced by this time and space."
After listening to Gu Qingqian's explanation, Lin Shenhe's black face turned red, "Fortunately, there won't be too much of a problem, it is impossible for the natives to reload bullets, one shot will be one less, we can know the number of weapons they have through the number of bullets they procure." In addition, it is necessary to let Qian Longzhou strengthen supervision, and it is absolutely impossible to let the pistol flow out to the people. ”
Lin Shenhe's proposal undoubtedly caused trouble for Qian Longzhou, who was sitting on the bed at this time and reading the letter sent by the Senate, "I'll go!" Since it's so dangerous, don't sell it in the first place! This is sold and stuck bullets, isn't this scolding? He couldn't help but stand up.
Now he is the supreme commander of the entire Champa Port second only to the princess, and even the influence of the new army is higher than the princess, if the princess suddenly issues an order to remove Qian Longzhou from the position of commander-in-chief, I am afraid that the new army will rebel that day. Therefore, the princess is also quite scratching her head about Qian Longzhou's arrangement at this time, let him continue to be the commander-in-chief of Zhancheng Port, right? There were many indigenous officials in Champa Port, and their qualifications far exceeded that of Qian Longzhou, and at that time, the situation in the south and north was critical, and they did not dare to take responsibility and shirk each other, and it was no problem to have such a commander from China. But now that the Nanban has retreated, will this Chinese continue to control the armed forces of the entire city? Now there is a dark tide surging in the officialdom of Zhancheng Port, and they are all holding back their efforts to get the money dragon boat down.
But the princess can't just remove Qian Longzhou. The first is that there is no reason at all! You must know that the full support of the Chinese allowed Champa Port to gain the upper hand in the battle against the Nanban, forcing the Nanban to sign an alliance under the Champa Port, not to mention Qian Longzhou, not to mention in the new army, even in the official army The prestige is very high, and the rash dismissal will inevitably make the army's heart shake. Second, if Qian Longzhou comes down, there will be no suitable candidate to take the current position of the city guard. The princess had carefully considered all the officials in the port of Champa, but there was not even a suitable one. These officials are all good at fishing for oil and water to engage in officialdom struggles, but when it comes to marching and fighting, it is really not enough to shine shoes for Qian Longzhou.
So what exactly is to do now? The princess was getting more and more distressed at this time.
