Chapter Fifty-Nine: Sharpened Bullets
Feng Yuxiang didn't alarm the guys, he looked directly at the showroom, and saw that in the showroom, there were several firearms, Committee 1888, Mauser, and Makqin, as an officer of the Beiyang Army, he knew very well that the strong place of the Beiyang Army was these Makqin, in the face of this storm composed of metal bullets, any infantry charged, facing the impact of the Makqin machine gun, this was a nightmare, but what surprised him the most was that next to Makqin, a box of bullets was placed, and the box was open. The bullet style is different from the normal bullet.
"Pointy!" Shi Congyun noticed Feng Yuxiang's gaze from the side, and almost exclaimed.
As a qualified soldier, grassroots commander, the performance of general firearms, he knows it well, China in this era, and even most countries, have not noticed the importance of logistics, in the infantry, there is no unified system at all, in China is particularly obvious, a squad of 12 people, there may be 12 different guns, far to the old sleeve, to the ordinary imitation, and then to Hanyang, messy configuration, backward logistics conditions, a certain Cheng dΓΉ above, is the Chinese army, A fundamental problem under the combat effectiveness is not that no one sees it, but because it is poor, and the gun has become a key measure of the ability of his subordinates.
Pointed bullets, the three veteran officers know very well that this is absolutely an original import, specifically for machine gun bullets, this thing, it is almost impossible to reload, and China has no ability to produce it, and has always relied on imports.
The three people's understanding of the pointed bullet comes from the German instructors during the Beiyang training that year, and those instructors have a lot of complaints about the Makqin training at that time, saying that Makqin can use the same caliber bullet of the rifle, but after using the rifle bullet, the power is compared to the pointed head, I don't know how much worse, and the strong power of the Makqin metal storm cannot be exerted at all.
A box of 100 rounds of ammunition, if Makqin comes to start, maybe it will be finished in a few seconds, but unfortunately his value is much higher than ordinary rifle bullets, almost more than 5 times, and at the same time, it is also priceless, such a high price, difficult to import conditions, this thing, even in Beiyang, is rare, most of the Makqin in Beiyang, are rifle bullets.
"Man, come here!" Shi Congyun suddenly spoke, stopped a guy who was passing by, and asked, "How can this Makqin be sold?" β
"Sir, 1,000 yuan, with 500 rounds of ammunition!" The guy said respectfully.
"Is that what it is?" Shi Congyun said, reached out in the bullet box, grabbed a handful of bullets, and the unique touch of the pointed bullet made him fascinated for a while.
"That's right, the Makqin sold by our foreign bank is this kind of bullet!"
"Can you buy it open?"
"This!" The guy hesitated, in the past few days, the sales of German and American foreign companies are very hot, most of them are rifles and pistols, and there are only a few orders for machine guns from the new army, without going through the guy, the guy really doesn't know, he hesitated for a moment before replying: "It should be, on our side, Makqin is put together with this kind of bullet!" β
All with pointed bullets, it is obvious that this foreign bank has a very close connection with the military of the great powers, before Yang Yuanzhao, Feng Yuxiang stayed on the strength, but he didn't expect that he was actually involved with a foreign bank like Germany and the United States, no wonder he swore so much to let him come.
"Excuse me, what do you need, I can help you!" The guy looked at the crowd and asked.
Feng Yuxiang and others' military atmosphere, is really outstanding, a soldier to the main gun of the foreign company, must be to buy guns, in this case, even if it is one or two, there are huge rewards, because Yang Yuanzhao is eager to recover the capital, after returning to Baotou, there are amazing reserves of gold mines, but in Shanghai, he wants to get all the things he needs, so the money spent, I don't know how many, in short, the more the better, so the reward is very high, according to the amount, 100 yuan to 2 yuan, This is a remarkable number, you must know that a foreign gun plus bullets, there is almost 100, now in Shanghai, the average monthly wage of ordinary workers, will not exceed 8 yuan, this is still a factory with good efficiency, can be issued.
Shi Congyun looked around, and then said, "I'm here to find Yang Yuanzhao!" β
"Yang Yuanzhao, there is no Yang Yuanzhao here, Li Yuanzhao? We are a German foreign company! The guy said, this guy who speaks English well is a guy who has just been recruited, and he is familiar with the foreign bank, and he doesn't know Yang Yuanzhao's identity in the foreign bank.
"Who's looking for Mr. Yang!" Harpy happened to pass by, heard this, walked over, and the guy immediately said respectfully: "Gentlemen, this is our general manager!" β
"I'm Harpy, are you here to find Yang Yuanzhao, he's not here now?"
"No, he asked us to come!" Shi Congyun muttered.
Harpy's eyes lit up and said, "This is Mr. Feng, Mr. Shi and Mr. Wang, Mr. Yang, you have already entrusted the matter to me, what do you have, just talk to me!" β
Feng Yuxiang nodded, and was introduced into a reception room by Harpy, which should be the guest room of the previous bungalow, with excellent ventilation and light, and the decoration was not luxurious, but a few tables and chairs were placed casually as a reception room!
Harpy said: "It's quiet enough here, if you need anything, just say it, according to Mr. Yang's instructions, all guns can be discounted in half." β
Harpy's voice is softer, half the price, for foreign companies, basically not profitable, if it spreads, for the rising sales of German and American foreign companies, it must be a huge blow.
"Fold in half?" Several people's eyes are amazed, you know, they have seen these firearms, they are definitely imported from Germany, the price in Shanghai is very high, folded in half, that is, about 35-40, this price, is really good.
Feng Yuxiang secretly thought in his heart, this little brother really did what he said, but he didn't know how much he would lose at this price.
Harpy looked at several people with shocked expressions, and then said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that each rifle is equipped with 200 rounds, the machine gun is 1000, and the machine gun bullet is pointed!" β
Generally in China, all kinds of weapons, generally are not equipped with bullets, at most 10 rounds of 20 rounds, 200 rounds, which is equivalent to a lot of profits, the most important thing is the machine gun, as the battalion pipe belt with the soldiers, Feng Yuxiang deeply knows the quality of the guns, especially the machine guns, special machine gun bullets and bullets that are barely used with rifles, the difference can be said to be huge, for the machine gun continuous firing time, firing speed, and bullet power, there is a huge difference. Even if it is the Beiyang Army, it is impossible to use all the special machine gun bullets, at most in the model third town, but even where, there are only a few elite gunners who can use special machine gun bullets, you know, after a battle, if they are all used, Beiyang will not be able to support it.
Feng Yuxiang glanced at Shi Congyun and Wang Jinming, their faces were also shocked, 1000 rounds of pointed bullets, two rounds of one is priceless, for old gunners, a qualified bullet, maybe it represents a meritorious service, or even a life, pointed special machine gun bullets, in the Beiyang Army, can definitely be called hard currency, according to the previous price of 1000 yuan, the fold is 500 yuan, which means that an expensive Makqin is almost included.
Feng Yuxiang meant before that he wasn't going to buy a lot, but now, it seemed that he had a better idea, he pondered for a while, and said, "Let's discuss!" β
Harpy nodded and said, "Please." β
After Harpy finished speaking, he went out, and Wang Jinming said: "Feng Yuxiang, the funds we can use are limited, only 500 oceans, or buy 10 first!" β
"10 handfuls, how can it be enough!" Shi Congyun said.
"Yes, 10 guns, how much of a difference can they play, such a cheap thing, it's really rare!" Feng Yuxiang also said with emotion.
Shi Congyun and Wang Jinming also had the same expression, as if they were gluttonous, and they encountered a delicious meal, but they couldn't eat it at all.
The reception room was quiet, and when Harpy went out, he ordered that no one disturb them.
Shi Congyun's eyes suddenly lit up, slapped his thigh, and said loudly: "Feng Tou, I have a way!" β
