Chapter 63: The Classic Gun

Qin Chuan opened the box carefully, but suddenly opened his mouth and stayed there in surprise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It turned out that the leather box turned out to be a Mauser pistol with a dark blue hue, that is, a box gun that was popular in later generations, or a box gun, an automatic type of authentic German Mauser pistol also known as a barge gun.

To Qin Chuan's surprise, this kind of box gun, which can almost be called the standard pistol of the Chinese army in the Anti-Japanese War, although it is said to have been invented in 1891, it should be a patent obtained by the Mauser factory in 1895, and the fast and slow mechanism shell gun was not mass-produced until 1931, but at this time, such a barge gun, which can be called a classic gun in China, how did it really appear in front of his eyes.

Qin Chuan has always liked the title of barge gun, although the Mauser pistol in his hand can only be called a box gun or a box gun, but Qin Chuan thinks that although these two names are well-known in China, the name is still a bit too earthy, and he decided to call this pistol, which is still only a sample, being promoted by the Mauser factory, as a barge gun.

It is said that in this barge gun, the origin of the word barge is also very Chinese, its real name should be called Zilaide or Mauser automatic pistol, because it has a reinforced wooden box as a holster, and the box can be loaded on the handle of the gun as a butt to use on the shoulder, so it is customary to call it a box gun, as for the word barge, it is because the wooden box has the English word BOX, and the more elegant ones call it a barge.

To Qin Chuan's regret, he didn't find the iconic wooden box in the leather box, only a brown cowhide holster in the leather box.

Qin Chuan, who strongly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, his excited heart "banged" and kept beating, and he carefully held the handle of the gun and picked up the shell gun in his hand to check it.

The shell gun in Qin Chuan's hand, the red handle, the roasted blue gun body, the slender barrel, the whole gun is 288mm long, weighs 1.24kg, and is loaded with ten rounds. In Qin Chuan's memory, the effective range of this gun is about 150m, although the range is not far, but this gun is powerful, reliable in action, is a sharp weapon in close combat, and is the earliest semi-automatic pistol.

In Qin Chuan's memory, the most fond of this kind of pistol is the famous Northwest Army in later generations, the Northwest Army from the army to the brigade, there is a formed pistol unit, ranging from company to brigade formation, often at the critical moment of the battle to determine the outcome of the killer weapon. Shi Yousan, the defective general noted, once gathered a 3,000-strong death squad at one time, carrying a big knife, each of them with a pistol of this kind plus two grenades, which was almost the standard configuration of the pistol team of the Northwest Army. According to veterans of the Northwest Army, with such a pistol with a large ammunition capacity and semi-automatic shooting in hand, it is not difficult for one person to kill eight or nine people in close combat.

Although Qin Chuan had not personally shot this kind of gun before crossing, it is said that this kind of gun will jump up and forth when shooting, and it is not easy to shoot accurately. With the exception of China, this excellent pistol has never become the standard equipment of the armies of any country in the world. However, this is not difficult for the Chinese, the Chinese found in use, side fire can avoid muzzle jumping, many people have also practiced a stunt, they don't even need to aim, just feel the gun can hit.

In addition to the large body of the gun, this kind of barge gun has drawbacks in shooting, and the biggest reason why it has not been selected by the armies of various countries is that the cost is too high. Qin Chuan had read a document before crossing that a shell gun cost fifty-eight taels of silver at the end of the Qing Dynasty, while an ordinary pistol only cost a dozen taels and one, and even European countries could not afford to equip such a price.

"Grandma's, Lao Tzu's troops will use this shell gun in the future."

While thinking about it, Qin Chuan withdrew the magazine and pressed the bullet, and then pushed the magazine into the body of the gun with a bang, and held it flat in front of his eyes with the side of his hand, aiming out the window, feeling the feeling of a barge gun.

"Tuk, tuk".

The sudden sound behind him made Qin Chuan instinctively turn around, the muzzle of the black hole had already been accurately pointed at the place where the sound came from, looking at the closed and strictly implemented door, Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Who?"

Qin Chuan asked, quickly putting the barge gun into the box, and pushing the box under the bed.

Xu Tong's voice came from outside the door: "Boss, Manager Li wants me to pass the word over, and wants me to tell you that the Englishman Henry is still waiting for you." ”

Only then did Qin Chuan remember that there was still that British construction engineer Henry waiting in Li Mingfang's account room.

Qin Chuan hurriedly opened the door, turned around and closed it carefully.

The workers in the living room had already installed the phones in the living room upstairs and went downstairs, and Qin was wiping the floor with a mop.

In Li Mingfang's account room, after Qin Chuan apologized to Henry, he took Henry and his two assistants to the backyard, and stood by the big pit that had been dug by the back wall, which was more than 50 meters long, 15 meters wide, and more than 6 meters deep.

This big pit was dug by Qin Chuan who led the more than 100 factory protection teams to dig it in their spare time during training.

"Mr. Henry, I would like to build a building here with three floors above ground and one floor underground。。。。。。

While listening to Qin Chuan's thoughts, Henry asked for some detailed requirements, and Henry's two assistants had already taken out pencils and quickly drew and wrote on a small notebook.

In the backyard of the dyeing factory, in addition to building this building, Qin Chuan wanted to make a barracks for the factory protection team. He also wanted to build a temporary repair shop and a stable for 200 horses in this backyard.

In addition, on the vacant land next to the warehouse next to the front yard wall, Qin Chuan plans to build several larger brick houses, expand the canteen, and build several large new dormitories for workers who have no time to go home after overtime to rest.

The courtyard wall in front of the dyeing factory was to be removed, and a two-story building was erected on each side of the gate, and the length of the building was based on the existing courtyard wall. The first floor of the building on one side is opened as a storefront, where the products of these factories under the name of Qin Chuan are retailed and displayed, and the second floor is used as an office. On the other side, Qin Chuan was going to give him a suite-like account room in these factories, and merchants would come to discuss business and talk there, so as not to let idle people run around in various factories.

Also, Qin Chuan now counts these factories that are still in the plan, and there are seven or eight factories under their names, and the separate management is a bit chaotic, so Qin Chuan is ready to integrate them all into a joint stock limited company, these new factories, no matter what they do, are all named the word Aurora in front, and the new company is also called Aurora Company, and the manager is served by Li Mingfang, and the manager's office is located on the second floor of this newly built building.

Outside the dyeing factory, from the big wall on the east side of the dyeing factory, until four miles to the east, it is all wasteland, the soil here is not good, it belongs to the saline-alkali land, and there is more than a foot of artemisia grass, Li Mingfang has bought this piece of land with a length of 800 meters and a width of 60 meters according to Qin Chuan's meaning. Because it is wasteland, the land price is very cheap, and the land of almost 50,000 square meters only costs 4,000 eagles.

Qinchuan's plan is to build a refined salt plant next to the dyeing factory, and the alkali making equipment is in the refined salt factory, which is just two factories. Then there are pen factories, soap factories, slaughterhouses, canneries, tanneries, and cigarette factories.

These factories had to be built with tall walls like dyeing houses, separated by brick walls, and then factories were built in each factory, warehouses, offices, and resting places. However, the back wall of these factories is not actually the one against the Haihe River, but there is a high wall inside. In other words, this new factory area is separated by a wall behind the factory, and more than a mile between the two walls is connected. According to Qin Chuan's idea, this is a training ground reserved for his group training.

In front of the dyeing factory, Qin Chuan also bought a large piece of land.

Directly opposite the dyeing factory, Qin Chuan is going to build a three-story cement building with a basement, and Qin Chuan wants to open a bank here, which will be called Aurora Construction Bank. Next to the bank, three two-story apartment buildings were built for the exclusive use of hired German technicians. Build a few more courtyard houses next to the apartment, Qin Chuan wants to settle the Qin family, Xu Zichuan's family, as well as Chu Dazhu and Li Mingfang's homes here.

In addition, Qinchuan will also build a modern school integrating primary and secondary schools here.

For other buildings, Qin Chuan didn't have any requirements, but he asked the building and the bank building behind the dyeing factory to be used for group training must be built with cement, Qin Chuan asked Henry to calculate how much cement was needed, so he hurried up to find Xiao William to find a way to buy it from abroad, Qin Chuan estimated that Japan should have a cement factory at this time.

Hearing that Qin Chuan wanted to import cement from abroad, Li Mingfang couldn't help but be a little surprised, and looked at Qin Chuan with his mouth open in surprise, with a look of "You are stupid!" ".
