readx; It didn't take a day's work, and the five horses finally agreed to take out two-thirds of their own family property as military funds, and the other part of the deficiency relied on Ma Bufang's said to exterminate the bandits and force the merchants and wealthy families to donate money. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the end, a total of 170 million oceans were raised under the activities of several consecutive days, and during this period, many merchants were killed because of this so-called donation alone. Ma Bufang took advantage of this name to take advantage of the opportunity to persecute other merchants under various pretexts, and plundered other people's wives to satisfy his dissatisfied animal desires, and even several wealthy families were wiped out because of their wives and daughters' beauty.
After raising so much money, after some bargaining, the remaining thirty percent of the money was divided into military salaries according to the capitation, and the seventy percent of the ocean was entrusted to buy guns and cannons from Western arms dealers and foreign companies with backgrounds stationed in the local area.
Although the financial crisis has not passed in the whole West, the foreign fire merchants and foreign banks in China are still hoarding a large amount of surplus materials from the First World War, and when they are worried about the near-collapse of the domestic economy, a big business and a big deal are sent to their door.
Long before going to buy ordnance, the people who bought it were instructed by the five horses to buy German goods, especially Mauser rifles and pistols, if there is really no Russian water Lianzhu Mosin Nagant rifles, don't come to some names that I don't know how to use unaccustomed goods, heavy machine guns Maxim is a must-choose, and artillery 100-75 mm caliber guns can also come to a few pieces.
Speaking of this, in fact, the five horses also know that the unity of equipment is very important for logistics, at that time, the five people for this but after several quarrels finally determined the gun style and caliber, they all unanimously chose the quality of the German 1898 Mauser 79 rifle and its supporting parts, self-defense pistol Mauser shell pistol how many all, 7.92mm Makqin water-cooled heavy machine gun is standard with supporting parts, The squad weapon is the Czech Z-B26 7.92 mm light machine gun with accessories, and the fire support 75 mm -100 mm artillery comes with more than a dozen guns and their accessories, in short, the five horses will only need 7.92 mm caliber weapons and ammunition, except for the self-defense pistol, the rest of the miscellaneous brands of obsolete weapons are not wanted.
Therefore, under the bravery of so many oceans given by their own bigwigs, the people who bought weapons under the five horses who seemed to be wealthy came to the door to buy arms, and when they came to the door to buy arms, they were surrounded by arms dealers and managers of foreign companies who smelled like a fishy smell in the arms business to sell their inventories.
Due to his own domestic economic crisis, he wants to get rid of the hot potato in his hand. Mike was anxious to recommend the Murata-style M1903 Springfield 7.62mm rifle and the Browning M1917 heavy machine gun of the same caliber in his foreign bank.
The same problem is also the French ** fire merchant Charles. Jules, after he saw that the purchaser directly denied the American ** fire dealer, Jules, who was full of confidence and thought that he could make a lot of money, sold his inventory of arms to the arms procurement personnel with the unique romance and enthusiasm of the French, and introduced the eight-millimeter French rifle and the faulty Shosha light machine gun in poetic language, thinking that the purchaser would purchase his own arms, but was told that because it was produced during the First World War, the price should be discounted, and the romantic Frenchman resolutely disagreed and was cooled aside by the absent-minded purchaser.
Seeing the Americans and the French being kicked out, the British ** fire dealer Simon with a proud expression in his heart was triumphant. Morphist, on the other hand, in the unique and old-fashioned tone of the British, also launched his own boutique Lee of the British Empire. Enfield No.1 7.7mm rifle and Lewis light machine gun of the same caliber and Vickers heavy machine gun, but the arms procurement personnel who strictly followed the requirements of the five horses directly brushed off the British gentleman without any consideration, and the whole face of Morphist, who was originally very arrogant, collapsed gloomily.
In the end, it was the turn of the rigorous style of the former German, Italian and Japanese emperors, and now the German **fire merchant Hans. Alfred. Baumann was alone, and this honest German did not rush to sell his arms in front of him, nor did he open his mouth to quote and blow the performance of weapons to the sky like the previous three, but told the truth about his situation and asked the purchaser's opinion very seriously.
As soon as I heard that the buyer who could get the goods in the shortest time, he couldn't wait to face Hans. Alfred. Baumann asked for 150,000 authentic German 98 Mauser guns (no less than eighty percent new), 79 Mauser rifle cartridges, Mauser machine guns with 79 heavy bullets totaling 450 million rounds, 500 Czech-style 79 light machine guns, 45 79 Maxim heavy machine guns, 20 or 30 75-caliber mountain guns, 67 or 7 large-caliber heavy guns of more than 100 mm if not, and if there are none, there should be thousands of 60 to 100 caliber mortars.
Hans. Alfred. Bowman said that rifles, light machine guns and heavy machine guns, including ammunition accessories, will arrive within three days, as for the 75 mountain guns, there are not so many... However, there are a few of them with better performance in the foreign banks, but it is difficult to get more than 100 cannons at present, and there are 100 mortars of 60 caliber in the inventory of foreign banks, and there are not many mortars of 82 caliber and 100 caliber, and there are only 12 or 20 mortars.
After weighing the pros and cons, the purchaser finally gave up the heavy artillery of 100 caliber and above, and only the 75 mountain cannon and other weapons were retained in the artillery, so he did not do so, and he also asked the other three arms dealers present to buy the 75 mountain guns and 60 to 100 caliber mortars in his inventory in the foreign bank.
When the American Mike, the Frenchman Jules, and the Englishman Morphest, who were already a little lost, heard the words of buying guns, they immediately changed from the expressions of their dead fathers and mothers to sunny faces. The three of Mike teamed up to launch the original German-style 75 mountain cannon (it was a good thing made in Germany in that year, but you didn't see that the Chinese people at that time even had a Mauser shell gun as a baby.) In fact, these three goods were embarrassed to take out their old antiques that could not be put on the table, and could only sneak out the Qiwushan guns in a considerable part of the arms used by the German Weimar government to pay off debts) and promised that there were only a lot more guns of this type, and the three of them joined forces to launch mortars of the same caliber as those in Baumman's hands, and patted their chests and said that the total number of 1,000 guns would not be a problem and guaranteed to be delivered within the specified time.
As the plenipotentiary of the five horses to purchase arms, the purchaser handed over the tens of millions of oceans brought by the purchaser to the four arms dealers as a deposit, saying that he would pay the final payment when the goods arrived, and the four arms dealers said that they had no objections. Next, the purchaser ran non-stop to the telegraph room opposite the foreign bank, sent a telegram to the five horses who were waiting for the news, and reported the details to the five horses one by one. After getting the deposit, the four arms dealers began to urgently contact their respective foreign banks to obtain the inventory of arms, and if not, they transferred it to their own country, so the Wuma military group, which was more powerful than the history, began to show its rudiments, but it is a pity that their final fate and results... was still defeated by the China Social League led by Zhao Heng and disappeared in the long river of history in a blink of an eye.
