cheered up the Spanish minister, but in the end, if the result is, Gao Hongsheng doesn't have to guess to know the result.

Spain at the end of the nineteenth century was like a faltering old woman on crutches, while the emerging United States was like a muscular stick boy wielding a big stick.

In the face of the war that will be provoked, the big stick that the Americans keep wielding, and the old woman who even stumbles when she walks, can only barely resist with a stick, and she can't pose a threat to the stick guy at all.

And Gao Hongsheng sent money and weapons to Spain, plus the battleship sent by Ferdinand, but he replaced the crutches in the old woman's hand with a knife, just hoping that the old woman could make a few cuts on the young man's body, so that the stick boy would bleed more, so that he would lose some of the strength to fight for territory with himself after defeating the old woman.

However, without waiting for Gao Hongsheng to secretly find trouble with the Americans, the Americans themselves ran over to send him money, Tong Guò Bo Caiyun wanted to purchase a batch of anti-inflammatory drugs, mainly cotrimoxazole and penicillin, and the amount was quite a lot, but was directly vetoed by Gao Hongsheng, the reason given is when the Chinese Exclusion Act was abolished, Americans can directly purchase his medicines, Chinese will not do business with a country with colored glasses.

As for the fact that they buy it on behalf of other agents, it is none of his business, and those agents will not let go of this good opportunity to kill people.

It's not that Gao Hongsheng doesn't want to develop the U.S. market, but the U.S. market is too chaotic at this time, and the patent law is of no use to them at this time, and European countries are now wielding all kinds of big sticks to beat this emerging country, and Gao Hongsheng will certainly not let go of any opportunity to suppress the United States, especially in this sensitive period.

And at present, the European market alone is enough for Gao Hongsheng to be busy, and he does not have the manpower and energy to develop the American market.

It's just that sulfonamides and aspirin are two drugs that are estimated to be cracked in a year or two, but penicillin is difficult to crack, because the drugs at this time do not need to indicate the main ingredients to future generations, which gives Gao Hongsheng the possibility of concealing the ingredients of the drug.

At the same time, Gao Hongsheng's main focus in terms of drugs is the brand, China's secret medicine is currently synonymous with the panacea in many cases, as long as a good brand is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if the price of the drug is higher, it doesn't matter, the drug is not other goods, and the cheaper the sales, the better.

At the same time, when they developed drugs with the same efficacy, Gao Hongsheng wanted to kill them, and he only needed to wield the cheap big sticks that were common in China in later generations to knock those followers to death, which was the main reason why he didn't care about those people cracking his drugs at all.

A week later, in the Austro-Hungarian naval base Trieste military port, Gao Hongsheng and his party were bowing their heads and smiling and fiddling with the small pistol in their hands, if there is a modern person who sees it, he will definitely recognize it, that is, the Browning M1922 pistol and the M1910 pistol, of course, the stout 1922 is for Gao Hongsheng and his men to play, and the slightly slender 1910 is the small pistol used by the ladies.

The Browning 1900 pistol was not used, because the 1900 pistol, which belonged to the first generation of Browning series pistols, did not have a grip safety and magazine insurance, and after the 1910 model, the grip safety and magazine insurance were all complete, Gao Hongsheng didn't want his weapon to misfire and have an accident when disassembling the weapon.

He brushed the small pistol in his hand, inserted it into the small hand snatcher of the armed belt, buckled the leather button, and said to Browning, who was also smiling in front of him, with a smile on his face: "Thank you, thank you for being able to make this batch of products in such a short time, and come here to send me in person, thank you very much." ”

"No, Mr. Gao, please don't say that, I want to thank you for giving me the design drawings and your generous patent purchase, without these two things, these two perfect pistols would not have appeared in your hands, and at the same time, you and Crown Prince Ferdinand also gave me thirty percent of the shares of that arsenal, I should say thank you, thank you, Mr. Gao, all I can do is to produce them as much as possible and send them to you to express my gratitude."

"No, no, I still want to express my thanks, it's the best gift I've ever received when I leave, thank you." Gao Hongsheng asked with concern.

There's no way not to be thankful and polite, this is Browning, a master weapon designer, who in the original history should have been the chief weapons designer at the Belgian company FN, and in 1900 he launched his most famous creation, the Browning Model 1900 pistol.

But now Gao Hongsheng and Ferdinand used two sketches of the design to buy his patents, and gave him a 30% stake in a brand new light weapons factory, and he can be the chairman of this factory if he wants, which is also the main reason for attracting him, there is no better condition than having a factory with the final say, so he was poached from the Belgian FN company.

As for why his famous high-power pistol, the M1911 point 45 caliber pistol, is not produced now, mainly because the current market of M1911 has not yet arrived, and the terrifying recoil of the M1911 point four or five caliber pistol is really too large compared to the Chinese who are not very strong.

Don't be fooled by the stars who play with 45 caliber pistols in movies and television, the real 45 caliber high-power pistol, when you hold the gun with one hand and shoot, if you are not prepared enough and the posture is slightly wrong, after the gun goes off, the powerful recoil can break a person's wrist.

Although the high-power pistol is very powerful in terms of stopping action, when it is necessary to shoot continuously on the battlefield and hit multiple targets, the 45-caliber high-power pistol is not as good as the medium-power pistol, as for those special cases on the battlefield, it is just a special case, not the norm, and not everyone can control the big guy.

The M1911 large-caliber pistol was designed by Browning in 1911 and produced by the American Alter Company in 1911 when the Americans found that they needed a pistol with a very obvious stopping effect for self-defense, and in 1911, the 45-inch automatic pistol designed by Browning and produced by the American Alter Company was selected as the standard weapon of the American Army.

At present, Gao Hongsheng does not have so much spare money to burn and play, and the small pistol that is light and slender and can be put into the coat pocket is the best product at this time, you must know that the Browning 1900 pistol, although in the United States because of the love of revolvers, so that the M1900 semi-automatic pistol has not gained favor in the United States. However, it was a huge hit in Europe, selling millions of units and creating a Belgian company FN.

To pull such a person into Gao Hongsheng's camp, it is not only necessary to have money, but also social status, and a factory where he has the final say, and these are all easy for Ferdinand and Gao Hongsheng to provide.

Money is not a problem, as long as he sells patents, his status is no problem, the chief light weapons designer of the Skoda Arsenal, the factory is even more of a problem, in the name of the subsidiary branch of the Skoda Arsenal, build a new light weapons factory so that he can be whatever he wants, Ferdinand and Gao Hongsheng are just lazy now, they have too many factories in their hands, and now they are looking for people to manage them all over the world.

The order is no problem, before these two pistols are brought to the market, just with two simple design drawings, Ferdinand directly ordered 20,000 in the name of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Gao Hongsheng also joined in the fun and also placed an order of 20,000, of course, the matching 62x17mm pistol cartridge and the 1903 German engineer Georg Ruger and the German Arms and Ammunition Company developed the Parabellum 08 arc warhead ordinary bullet, 9x19mm pistol cartridge, which was also developed by the shameless Gao Hongsheng at the same time, It's just that the two models didn't have two calibers like in later generations, but positioned the 1911 model with 62 mm, and the 1922 model directly with a 9 mm caliber.

The advantage of this is to avoid the appearance of the M1910 pistol in history is too delicate, so that people are not afraid to look at it, feel that there is no power, suitable for playing but not suitable for use on the battlefield, although this "flower mouth pistol" is not inferior to M1900 (commonly known as gun brand pistol in Chinese) and M1903 (horse brand pistol), but the appearance of the feeling, so that it mainly faces the customer is the military soft show and dignitaries, businessmen and celebrities with guns, of course, it is also suitable for police and special agents, Because the Browning M1910 is very small, with a total length of 152 mm, a height of 119 mm, a thickness of only 29 mm, and a capacity of seven rounds, it can be hidden in the pocket of the coat without being detected.

The Browning M1922 pistol, in fact, is an enlarged version of the M1910 pistol, many parts of the two pistols are common, but after the caliber becomes 9 mm, the length of the original gun is 178 mm, due to the use of the two-mm long Barabrum bullet, the increase of two mm now becomes 180 mm, the height is 116 mm, the width is 32 mm, and the ammunition capacity is eight rounds.

The overall feeling is that it is a little thicker, turning the girl who originally felt very slender into a young man, and the original 9x17mm caliber Browning short bullet is compared with the common 9x19mm Balabylum bullet, the Browning short bullet is not as famous as the Balabylum bullet in terms of popularity, and it is quite easy to get some Balabylum bullets in later generations, especially the price is very cheap, and it is easy to find everywhere, while the Browning short bullet is relatively narrow.

Another advantage of using 9mm Balabylum bullets is that this ammunition can be used as a small submachine gun bullet in the future, such as the MP5 in CS, TMP submachine guns, Glock 18C pistols, and dual-wielding Beretta 92F pistols are all this 9mm Balabylum bullets.

However, these two guns have not changed much, that is, the mark on the pistol grip has been replaced, and the M1910 gun mark still uses a small pistol shape, but the factory mark has been replaced by the Skoda mark, and in 1922, a standing Chinese Tang Dynasty horse stepped on the Feiyan to replace the original horse mark.

After a brief farewell, Gao Hongsheng hurriedly boarded the Crescent cargo ship when he came, but now after refit, it is no longer a cargo hold, but a passenger and cargo ship.

Standing on the back deck, looking at the people on the dock who were still waving their arms, but were getting smaller and smaller, Gao Hongsheng put down his waving arms and turned his head to Feng Laosi and said, "When we came, we had a lone ship, but now we have four merchant ships, and we will have a fleet by this time next year." ”

"I want a battleship, shopkeeper Gao, you know, I always dream of owning a battleship, not a merchant ship, even if you give me a merchant fleet next year, I don't dare to be interested, look at that battleship, I want a battleship like that."

Following the direction of Feng Laosi's finger, it was a ship with traces of the original name on the side of the Austro-Hungarian monarch-class ship "Vienna", this ship was sold to Spain by Ferdinand, this time accompanied them to the Philippines, and also served as Gao Hongsheng's escort, and also followed them to the Philippines with the famous Austro-Hungarian Navy Queen Elizabeth (that is, Princess Sissi) cruiser, which will accompany and escort Gao Hongsheng and his party, The ship was one of Ferdinand's gifts to Gao Hongsheng, an incoming governor who always had to have some protective power.
