Guo Ye listed the defects of the Gatling heavy machine gun one by one, as if this heavy machine gun was developed by him.

Gatling went from pride at the beginning to shock to discouragement now, completely lost his temper, even if he was conceited about this proud work, listening to Guo Ye say so many shortcomings in one breath, he would be severely hit!

Could it be that this heavy machine gun I developed is really useless like this?

"General Guo, now I know that I am sitting in a well and watching the sky, it turns out that the invention I have been proud of is actually a useless vase, no wonder I have written a lot of letters to the government and the army, asking for help, but there has been no reply......"

Gatlin said deflated, he couldn't help but not be discouraged, because Guo Ye's every word was to the point, and he couldn't refute it at all! Xue Fucheng on the side was already dumbfounded, last night, Guo Ye blew this heavy machine gun into the sky and the earth, why did he change his hexagram today? And it's still a change of mind after agreeing on the price! Isn't it a little late to change the hexagram now?

Guo Ye smiled faintly: "Mr. Gatling, no matter what, I still appreciate your idea very much, and I still have absolute confidence, with my help, you can really rule the entire world's firearms market with heavy machine guns in the next half century, but without my help, you will never be able to do it, not only because I am a general, but also because I am also a firearms engineer!" ”

Gunsmith?

Gatlin glanced at Guo Ye in surprise, a little disbelieving.

Guo Ye smiled, "What, Mr. Gatlin." You don't believe it? ”

Gatlin said in a deep voice, "General Guo." If a person is distracted and used for two purposes. It's hard to get yourself to the pinnacle of your career, you're already a genius general, and if you're still a good gunsmith, I don't think you'll be able to reach such a level, as if I'm now at a high level of firearms research, but this is at the expense of my medical research, and my medical attainments have stagnated, and I'm even lagging behind my peers at the same level as before......"

Guo Ye laughed and said, "Mr. Gatling." As a firearms engineer, it's impossible for you not to know Colt's recently introduced Liaoyuan No. 1 breech-loading repeating rifle, right? ”

Gatlin nodded and replied: "Of course I know, this rifle has been launched, and it has been praised by almost everyone in the military circles, and his advanced performance is by no means comparable to the existing firearms, but unfortunately the current production is a little lower, and in more than a year, Colt Company has produced only 100,000 pieces, and it has been snapped up by various countries." The federal government was thankful that it had ordered the guns, otherwise. It has long been unable to withstand the offensive pressure of the Confederate army. ”

Guo Ye pointed his finger at himself and replied: "Don't hide that Gatling said that this rifle is from me, and I have asked Mr. Colt for millions of dollars in compensation for this rifle and the subsequent improvement patent......

Yes......

Gatlinden was stunned, this amazing work was actually designed by Guo Ye!

It's incredible!

"Really, really?"

Gatling stammered.

Guo Ye nodded and replied: "Of course, you can verify this matter, and now, I am still the second largest shareholder of Colt Arms Company!" ”

Gatling believed it completely, not only believing that Guo Ye was a firearms engineer, but also believing that Guo Ye could definitely help him improve the design and development of heavy machine guns! Which Liaoyuan No. 1 rifle, he has studied, is definitely an iconic weapon, with exquisite design and advanced ideas, it is definitely the top in the world! With the level of Guo Ye's firearm design revealed by this rifle, I am afraid that it is only higher than himself!

Coupled with Guo Ye's genius military vision, if he wants to design a heavy machine gun by himself, Gatling will believe it!

Gatling said abruptly, "General Guo, since you have such superb abilities, why do you still come to buy my patent?" Still want to hire me? I don't think I'm better than you, since you can break through all the shortcomings of my heavy machine gun, then you can design a more advanced and reasonable gun than my heavy machine gun, I absolutely believe that you have such ability......"

Guo Ye smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Gatling, you are also exalting me too much, yes, I have such ability, but it doesn't mean that I have such energy, didn't you say it just now?" I am now China's special envoy, and when I return to China in the future, I will serve as the governor of one province, or even the governor of two provinces, and all military and political affairs will be in my hands. ”

Oh!

Gatling suddenly realized, and really said to himself, manpower is sometimes poor, even with Guo Ye's genius, it is absolutely impossible!

Guo Ye continued: "So, no matter what, I will also invite you to China, rest assured, as long as you arrive in China, I will fully support your research, I will take out no less than two million US dollars to invest in the construction of an arsenal in China, now all Chinese skilled workers in Colt I will recall, as for the production equipment, Europe, the United States, what equipment you want, I will buy you what equipment!" When the time comes, all the gun design theories I have mastered will be shared with you, and when the time comes, you will understand what a real heavy machine gun looks like, he is definitely not like your idea, there are more design ideas for heavy machine guns, all roads lead to Rome, and there is a way of thinking, which is the real closed-door car, and it is stagnant. ”

This time, Gatlin was really tempted, he was reluctant before, because he felt that without the exchange and discussion of his American counterparts, he would never be able to make a breakthrough when he went to China, but now with Guo Ye, what else is he worried about? With his powerful ability, even the best American counterparts are not Guo Ye's opponents! What's more, Guo Ye also offered a heart-pounding treatment!

"Okay, General Guo, I have decided to accept your invitation and go to China with you, but even if I have an annual salary of 100,000 yuan, as long as I can let the heavy machine gun I developed be sold all over the world, so that the number of casualties in the world due to war will be reduced, I will be satisfied, and this is also the motivation for me to study the Gatling heavy machine gun......"

Guo Ye laughed and said: "Okay, Mr. Gatling, then we will make a decision, all the relevant materials and equipment, all sorted out, waiting to return to China with me, at the same time, I will ask Mr. Xue to prepare a sum of money for you, please buy the relevant equipment, as long as you are optimistic, just buy it, we are not short of money!" ”
