Gao Hongsheng laid out two new design drawings in front of Mauser, which were drawings of the Madsen light machine gun and the Burgman general-purpose machine gun, of course, he would not use these two names, but simply marked them with pinyin, the Madsen light machine gun was marked with QJ-01, and the general-purpose machine gun was simply marked with TJ-01, both of which have been submitted for patent applications, and now they have been obtained under the offensive of money, and they are not worried about Mauser stealing information.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Mauser raised his head and looked at Gao Hongsheng and said: "These are two kinds of repeating weapons, we can produce, but I hope to be able to buy the production rights of this weapon for production and sales, and I hope that your two weapons can give us a place in automatic weapons." ”

"No, Mr. Mauser QJ-01 light machine gun we can hand over to you to produce and sell, but the TJ-01 general purpose machine gun is our exclusive weapon, I don't want to see them in other armies, but as compensation I can provide you with a copy of the improvement of the Maxim heavy machine gun, of course, as for the patent production of the problem needs to be solved by yourself, if you can't get the production patent, we can only provide the drawings to other factories to entrust them to produce, this is your information."

Gao Hongsheng won't take out the general-purpose machine gun and sell it to Mauser and them, isn't that all over the world? When the time comes, the weapon will be sad when it hits his head.

It doesn't matter if the Madsen light machine gun is the QJ-01 light machine gun, everyone's role in the light machine gun is still limited to backward tactical thinking, and it has not yet reached the Cheng dù that later generations attach great importance to, and there is nothing to worry about when it is released, and it can even be sold through guò light machine guns to supplement the pressure on funds.

As for the drawings given to him, the Maxim heavy machine gun model that the Germans only improved in 1908, the German-made MG08 Maxim heavy machine gun, and there is nothing better than using the most proud work of the Germans to earn German money.

However, he didn't have a little uneasiness in his heart, you must know that the transition from the Makqin heavy machine gun to the MG08 model in the first seven years still doesn't know how many generations of products will have to go through to arrive, not to mention how many resources are wasted, it would be good that he didn't charge a lot of money to Mauser.

However, if you don't give people some sweetness, you can't protect your general-purpose machine gun, it's better to throw a bone to keep the meat, who makes yourself have no production capacity, you can only rely on others to help produce, this is the sadness of no industry.

Mauser took the drawings and began to study them with the personnel he brought, and at this time Gao Hongsheng pulled Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai aside and whispered: "Do you think 200,000 rifles and 50,000 pistols are a lot?" I won't sell it when I buy it back! Now that the country is getting more and more chaotic, everyone needs some self-defense weapons in their hands in the future, and there are more things for this. ”

"But the shopkeeper, 200,000 rifles, 50,000 pistols, isn't it too much, and it can't be sold!" Feng Laosi said worriedly.

"Yes! The high shopkeeper has 200,000 rifles, which is too many. Hong Jincai followed.

"Is 200,000 rifles really a lot? Do you count how many of us have now, believe it or not, we have nearly 20,000 of us who have gone back this time, and they don't need weapons? We are now a big business, how can we gain a foothold in the Qing Kingdom without tens of thousands of people, you must know that we are bandits, understand no, if we are not armed, then the officials will not swallow us? With tens of thousands of guns in their hands, you see who dares to move us, listen to me, buy it, this is more stuff, and the back is the big head, replace all the medicines we poured here with weapons, and then you will see who dares to move our fingers. Gao Hongsheng said in a fierce whisper.

In fact, he didn't say the real reason, or the world would be in chaos in a few years, if Feng Laosi and their hard guys who didn't have some support in their hands, maybe they would really let people swallow them, whether it was Beiyang or foreigners, it was not a good stubble, anyway, the money he made in this world couldn't be brought over, it was better to change them into weapons to arm Feng Laosi and them, and it could be regarded as a safe guarantee for them.

Hearing Gao Hongsheng say this, Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai glanced at each other, Hong Jincai nodded at Feng Laosi and said: "Okay, just listen to the shopkeeper, let's buy all the money into weapons, the bandits who have always been recruited have no good end, although we are stable in front of us, but who knows what those officials think, there is a guy in his hand, don't panic, Cheng, the shopkeeper will do what you say, you say how much you buy." ”

"Hmmm! Shopkeeper, make up your mind. Feng Laosi also said affirmatively.

"Well, don't be scared, hehe! The big head hasn't come out yet! Machine guns and cannons are the big ones, pistols and rifles are just appetizers, haha, don't scare you two. Gao Hongsheng chuckled and said in a low voice.

Compared with pistols and rifles, the unit price and ammunition price of machine guns are simply too high, not to mention artillery, a shell of a large-caliber artillery may be the ammunition money of a thousand bullets, the cannon is not valuable, no matter how expensive it is, it is a one-time investment, but the price of artillery shells cannot be calculated so much, and the shells used in training alone are much more expensive than a gun.

Mauser They didn't study it for long, they just finished reading it in a while, and then they began to calculate whether they could produce these weapons, and what was the approximate cost after production, after all, Gao Hongsheng and they were still waiting for them to quote!

"Shopkeeper Gao, we've figured it out. The price of the Maxim M08 heavy machine gun is 1,000 US dollars, that is, 200 pounds a piece, the light machine gun is 300 US dollars or 60 pounds, and the general-purpose machine gun is 400 US dollars and 80 pounds. Mauser said sincerely to Gao Hongsheng.

The price of these automatic weapons is the result of repeated calculations by him and his team, basically there is not much profit, he hopes that Gao Hongsheng will put automatic weapons in his factory to produce, so as to make up for the shortcomings of the Mauser Arsenal in automatic weapons, Gao Hongsheng It doesn't matter how many they order, but orders from Germany and other regions can make them full, so he doesn't want to offend Gao Hongsheng and them because of that profit.

This price is not low, according to Gao Hongsheng's equipment, it is estimated that the total price is likely to be more than the rifle and pistol combined, but if you don't buy it at this time, will you not be able to buy it when they blockade China in the future, thinking of this, Gao Hongsheng frowned and thought about it, and looked helplessly at a piece of paper full of tables in his hand and said: "Mr. Mauser, I want a relatively large amount, I don't know how long it will take you to produce it, the MO8 heavy machine gun will cost five hundred, and the TJ01 general-purpose machine gun will cost five thousand, There are 20,000 QJ01 light machine guns, each machine gun is equipped with six spare barrels and two sets of wearing parts.

In terms of ammunition, 20,000 boxes are needed to hold 250 rounds of ammunition in each cartridge, 80,000 boxes are required for each light machine gun in 30-round magazines, seven for each machine gun for 100-round general-purpose machine gun bridge drums, spare ammunition, heavy machine guns are additionally equipped with 20,000 rounds each, and the corresponding bullet loader is equipped with two per machine gun, and the general-purpose machine gun is equipped with 6,000 rounds each, and light machine guns are equipped with 3,000 rounds. Forget it, let's just press 120 million. Mr. Mauser, you are satisfied, and I am running out of money. ”

Can you not be satisfied? Mauser made a rough calculation in his heart and grinned: "Shopkeeper Gao, you are really my friend, I am very satisfied with your order, but do you want to launch a coup d'état when you order so many goods?" You must know that your order can arm a country, you should not really want to carry out a coup d'état! ”

"Coup d'état, no, no, dear Mr. Mauser, where do you think of it, I am the commander of the militia of the Great Qing Kingdom, he is the deputy commander, this is the chief of staff of our militia, you think of it." Gao Hongsheng explained that he regarded Feng Laosi as the deputy commander of the militia and Hong Jincai became the chief of staff, as for how big this militia is, he will not sue Mauser.

The militia is not a Chinese term, but came from England, and the most famous militia is the local militia during the American Civil War.

In the early days of the European colonizers, all able-bodied adult men were members of local militias, and these citizens gathered several times a year for weekend military training, and at the call of the local governor or parliament, the militia units would organize themselves to resist invasions from other countries.

Later, in the Western world, the militia generally existed in their society, which was actually equivalent to our current reserve, and in that era, how powerful the militia was, just look at the Boer War, which was actually a war between the local militia and the British.

There is also an advantage to buying weapons in the name of the local militia group, that is, no one will doubt the advanced nature of the weapons you buy, the weapons of the militia need to be equipped by themselves, which is also the ancient knight tradition in Europe, in ancient Europe, the knights needed to be equipped with their own weapons when they went to war, so basically how good the equipment is, so that Gao Hongsheng and their weapons are more advanced, and no one will think about anything else.

"Ahh That's a big militia, okay Commander, the automatic weapons and ammunition are two million pounds sterling, I'll charge you two million pounds, you know, those chains and magazines of yours are a lot of money, and of course I hope you can charge less for the patent fees for the light machine guns. ”

"No problem, two million pounds, we will talk about the patent later, now you tell me when we will be able to supply, we urgently need weapons to arm our militias, after all, they still need to be trained to use these weapons proficiently."

"I'm very sorry, Commander Gao, you have to ask your militia fighters to wait, the earliest supply time of the first batch of weapons will be half a year later, you know, the production of weapons can not be a little sloppy, we need to customize a batch of special equipment to manufacture in large quantities, but in twenty days, it is estimated that I can provide you with a batch of samples for you to train your militia soldiers, I can only do so much."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, do I still need to pay you a deposit?"

"No, no, your patent is the best deposit, isn't it?"

"It's a pleasure to work with, Mr. Mauser, and it's been a pleasure to do business with you. Let us finally turn to the issue of transportation. ”

“………………”

After a while, the two sides talked for a while and negotiated a weapon involving more than 6 million pounds, and a month later Gao Hongsheng would get the first batch of weapons ordered, and the rest of the weapons would be delivered in full within a year and a half, and he obediently took out an advance payment of 300,000 pounds to the smiling little Mauser, and Gao Hongsheng became a poor ghost completely.
