Guo Ye scolded repeatedly, making Gao Qi stand aside and not dare to speak.

Guo Ye looked at Chen Hai beside him and said: "Xiaohai, immediately send a telegram to Xue Fucheng, ask him to come to Richmond two days late, find me someone in the northeast, start the relationship, don't be afraid to spend money, I just need this person!" ”

Chen Hai was taken aback and asked, "Brother Ye, who are you looking for?" In such a hurry? ”

Guo Ye replied lightly: "Gatling, a doctor, to be exact, should be a weapons expert, this guy has developed a new weapon, and now he should have applied for a patent in the federal government, we must buy this patent before others find its great value, no, not only buy this patent, but also buy it along with his people!" Tell Xue Fucheng that at all costs, as long as he agrees to all the conditions, I just want him to sell us the patent and follow us back to China! ”

At this moment, not only Chen Hai, but everyone else was shocked, at any cost, the person who can make the eldest brother say such things must be an extremely not simple character!

Chen Hai asked, "Big brother, what kind of weapon has this person researched, and it is worth such a big price for you!" ”

Guo Ye smiled slightly and replied: "A musket that can be fired continuously, once mass-produced, the firing rate of this weapon can reach more than five hundred rounds per minute, or even more than a thousand rounds, you say that if an army is equipped with such a weapon, facing the cavalry, with full firepower, then the brave and invincible cavalry is only a dead end?" ”

Hiss......

A few people gasped! Thousands of bullets a minute! Don't say thousands, don't say five hundred, even if it's a hundred a minute. That's amazing! To know the most advanced rifles now. Equipped with the best soldiers. There will never be more than ten rounds per minute!

If it really reaches thousands of rounds per minute and is equipped with a hundred of these muskets, then even in the face of thousands of cavalry, it can be swept away! This is a great killer that shakes the past and the present!

"Really, really? Big brother, is there really such a powerful weapon in the world? ”

Gao Qi's mouth was open, and the boss was obviously stunned.

Guo Ye nodded vigorously and replied, "The firing rate of his weapon may only be about three hundred rounds per minute, but this is only just developed. It still needs to be improved, according to my understanding of this weapon, in a maximum of five years, his rate of fire will definitely increase to more than six hundred rounds per minute, or even a thousand rounds! This weapon will change the history of war in the whole world, no matter what, we must take it into our own hands, and the news is strictly forbidden to leak, and a first-class gag order is issued, and those who leak the news will be shot immediately. No mercy! ”

Several people nodded their heads with such weapons. Of course, it has to be held tightly in his hands, and no one will give it, even if Colt wants it, it will never be given to him! You can only take it into your own hands!

Guo Ye continued: "Once we buy the patent and return to China, then immediately start to set up a new arsenal and make full production, we want to let this weapon be sold all over the world, this is the best opportunity for us to make a fortune, a weapon like this, we have to sell at least a thousand taels of silver, even if it is sold a thousand, it is also a million taels of silver, and then there are bullets, which will bring huge bullet consumption, and our bullets will be sold along with the machine gun, this business is definitely a sure profit!" “

Chen Hai hesitated: "Big brother, it's just that we don't seem to be particularly good at getting rid of Colt Company like this, right?" ”

Guo Ye smiled and replied: "Yes, Colt is a partner worthy of our trust, but, haven't you noticed that Colt's body is not as good as day by day, although he is not yet fifty years old, but the perennial work of forgetting sleep and food has seriously destroyed his health, once Colt dies, no one knows whether the successor who inherited his family property can continue to cooperate with us, such a risk, we must not take such a risk, you know, after all, the company is in the United States, not in China, We can't have the upper hand, so it's better to be careful. “

Guo Ye is right, in fact, Colt should have passed away this year, just because of the cooperation with Guo Ye, the arsenal has become more prosperous, which undoubtedly injected a strong shot in the arm for Colt, so that he actually supported it, but his body is indeed worse day by day, not everyone has such a long-term strategic vision of Colt and a keen sense of weapons, this kind of genius ability is unavoidable, and Guo Ye has to take precautions early.

Chen Hai nodded, he also noticed the problem of Colt's body, it is indeed harmless to people, the tiger is hurtful, and it has to be prevented!

Chen Hai said in a low voice: "Brother Ye, then I'll go and prepare a telegram." ”

Guo Ye nodded in agreement, and then said: "Gao Qi, immediately ask me to ask Mr. Colt, I have something to discuss with him!" ”

Gao Qi hurriedly agreed, turned around and ran down.

It didn't take long for Colt to come to Guo Ye's office.

"Ahem, General Guo, are you looking for me?"

Colt coughed and sat down, now Colt looked very bad, this time from Washington to Richmond, after a long trek, all the way to the gallop, made its physical condition even worse.

Guo Ye smiled: "Colt, I'm sorry, I know that your health is not good, and I want to alarm you." ”

Colt waved his hand and replied, "General Guo, the two of us are not polite, if there is anything, you can say it directly." ”

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "That's the case, Mr. Colt, now in the arsenal, my original three hundred guard apprentices are difficult to perform the work of the arsenal because they are going to be transferred by the federal government to serve as military instructors, so I have a suggestion, which can also be said to be a request, that is, please face the western region and recruit three hundred Chinese laborers for me to join the arsenal again, of course, I also know that this makes you a little embarrassed, the training of a technician is not easy, this time, I can pay the salaries of these people alone." , just so that they can learn technology in the arsenal and accumulate talents for your country to build an arsenal in the future. ”

Colt smiled: "Okay, General Guo, this matter is not difficult, after all, these apprentices are transferred to fight for our Federation, if I don't support such a thing, then I am not an American, I can agree to this request, as for their salary, ......"

Guo Ye replied: "Okay, Colt, don't worry about it, since I said that I will bear it, then it is decided like this, I can't always let you suffer!" ”
