Chapter 8 Test the gun

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek, who came out of the Du Mansion, sat in the car, the middle-aged driver in the front row turned his head and asked Chiang Kai-shek where he would go in a while. Chiang Kai-shek pressed his head and handed the leather bag to the adjutant beside him.

"I came to Shanghai secretly this time, and I can't let too many people know that I came here, just now Du Yuesheng asked me to help him buy 10,000 Mauser pistols and 1 million rounds of ammunition. But after all, this is Sun Chuanfang's territory, where can I get him 10,000 pistols? What a headache. ”

The middle-aged driver thought for a while, "Otherwise, big brother, you take someone back to Guangzhou first, I will stay here for a few more months, and I really have a way in Shanghai, but I have never used this way, and it is not convenient to use it."

But now that the matter is in a hurry, I have no choice but to ask this brother of mine for help. See if they can find a way to help you get things out. After all, when I came to Shanghai, someone calculated for me, saying that I would be like a fish in water in Shanghai, and everything I did would get twice the result with half the effort, and my wishes would come true. The driver smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Oh, and that's it, Yunong, so you believe in this too. To be honest, I also believe in Feng Shui I Ching. But don't fool me about buying a gun, Mr. Du offered one hundred and fifty silver dollars and ten rounds of bullets, if you can do this. If you enter the Huangpu Military Academy next year, I will guarantee you a bright future. It turned out that the middle-aged driver who drove for Chiang Kai-shek was Dai Li, whom Li Tie met on the train that day.

Dai Li sighed, my brother had a grudge against their three tycoons before. Even if he begged him to come forward, he couldn't tell him that he was buying a gun for Mr. Du, or if he showed up afterwards, this brother would have nothing to do.

"Oh, you have a brother who has done such a thing, who is he?" Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Big brother, don't worry, when I finish this matter, I will tell the truth and let me sell it for a few months."

"Hehe, okay, I believe you." Chiang Kai-shek did not ask any further.

I didn't expect Dai Li to get mixed with Chiang Kai-shek so quickly, and he won Chiang's trust. According to the original history, it was two months before Dai Li met Chiang Kai-shek at the Shanghai Exchange in Shanghai and became friends at the same time.

Under the persuasion of Chiang Kai-shek and others, he went to Guangzhou in the second year to apply for the sixth phase of the Huangpu Military Academy. Now that Li Tie, a little butterfly, has waved his wings, the relationship between the two has been advanced, not to mention, this relationship has also risen so fast that he can be Chiang Kai-shek's driver.

Chiang Kai-shek still gave Dai Li three months to figure out a way to make secret purchases as much as possible. If there is no news for three months, he will have to draw guns from the ranks of the National Revolutionary Army.

In fact, there were quite a few rifles in Jiang Priceshi's army in Guangzhou, but there were only a thousand guns in this box, and they were still prepared for special tasks. He didn't dare to give Du Yuesheng a long weapon, after all, this era. The rifle is the most threatening weapon, and the short gun is only used for self-defense, as long as there are no heavy weapons, it will not become a big climate.

He took out two golden tickets from the adjutant's briefcase that had just received Du Yuesheng, and left two thousand silver dollars for Dai Li as activity funds.

The car was driven by the adjutant, and the two had to quickly disguise themselves and sneak back to Guangzhou secretly.

The day before the start of school, Li Tituo went to the police station to buy 100 gun licenses in the name of the foreign escorts. As soon as the gun license was in hand, Li Tie was impatient to take the iron egg to a place called the Golden Tiger Shooting Club in the Shanghai Public Concession.

This shooting club is the only place in Shanghai where you can legally test guns, not only providing all kinds of guns and ammunition, but also bringing your own guns and ammunition.

Li Tie and Tie Dan stopped two rickshaws again to go to the Golden Tiger Club, and the two rickshaws were stunned at first when they heard that they went to this club, and then asked with a smile, are they going to shoot, or do they have related business to discuss.

Li Tie was really confused when he heard it, how could he go to the shooting club and not shoot, is there anything else he could do?

An old rickshaw driver replied with a smile, this Golden Tiger Club has two departments, which are far apart, if you go to shoot and play, they will take you to the place of the shooting club, but if you have some other unknown business, you will have to go to another business department of the Golden Tiger Club.

Li Tie was interested when he heard it, and even asked what other business this Golden Tiger Club had. The two rickshaws did not answer anything. It's just a strong explanation, since Li Tie and the two don't know, don't ask so much. After staying in Shanghai for a long time, I naturally know better what the business department of the Golden Tiger Club does.

Li Tie saw that the two rickshaws were so mysterious, so he didn't ask anymore, paid for the car first, and after a long time with questions along the way, he finally came to a vast place that was also located in the center of the public concession, which looked very much like a school from the outside.

Spacious gates, flanked by several bungalows, surrounded by walls. Through the gate, you can see that the test site inside the club is very large, divided into several areas, each with a pergola and a road leading to each test site.

Dozens of rickshaws and dozens of horse-drawn carriages, and even sedans, are parked on both sides of the club's gates. Li Tie and the two got out of the rickshaw. Walk straight to a bungalow with the Golden Tiger Club written on it.

When I entered the so-called club hall, I found that there were only a few tables and a few young men entertaining, and on each table there were small signs such as registration office, gun office, gun inspection office, storage office, etc.

Li Tie was the first to come to the registration office, first showed his gun license, and then spent 20 silver dollars to get two membership cards. Then I went to the gun inspection office to register the guns and bullets I brought, and then paid the venue fee for a large ocean, and a special staff led the two out of a back door and directly to a 100-meter shooting range.

I saw that this test shooting range covers a vast area, there are fences all around, there are various shooting positions in the middle of the shooting range, there are tables and chairs that can rest behind the shooting position, there are already many people testing guns, all the way through, from time to time I hear the sound of banging Peng Peng's shooting, and there are many women's exclamations, and there are obviously many dignitaries and nobles here with their families and friends to come here for recreation.

The two came to a 100-meter test site, first adjusted a gun target 30 meters away, then adjusted a 50-meter and 100-meter gun target in turn, took out the box gun, opened the safety, and practiced the gun with a bang.

The quality of this German-made Mauser gun is good, although as military enthusiasts say, the recoil is large, and the muzzle jumps up and down, but I really put the muzzle horizontally according to what I learned on the Internet, and I found that this gun is really handsome and energetic.

The Jiuhao rice large-caliber pistol slammed into the 30-meter target in front of him with a few bangs. Although it was not as enjoyable as the twenty-round magazine, the powerful and distinctive sound still attracted the attention of the people around who also brought guns to practice.

Li Tie and Tie Dan didn't care how many people watched. I saw that the two of them changed three magazines in a row, and the fight was so lively. The last two magazines fired directly at targets 50 meters and 100 meters away, and the targets at 50 meters away were also full of bullet holes, and even the targets at a distance of 100 meters were hit by many shots.

Li Tie had just finished firing the 100 rounds of ammunition he brought, and the two of them who were still unsatisfied were regretting that the bullets were missing, and they were surrounded by many dignitaries and nobles next to them, this one asked where you bought your gun, and the one who said can you let me try such a powerful gun, if you can, he also wants to buy a few.

Li Tie's heart suddenly moved, and he clenched his fists and shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Contemptible, the general manager of Huaxing Foreign Bank, surnamed Li Mingtie, this foreign company is mainly engaged in the import of grain business, but if there is a desire to purchase arms and machinery, we can also buy it on our behalf, but we will not accept orders for less than 100 guns, and we will not accept orders for machinery and food less than 10,000 silver dollars, please tell me on your behalf." ”

After speaking, he took the iron egg and compensated the surrounding dignitaries and nobles again and again. Li Tie couldn't help but think that this is a good place, and he must come here every week during the holidays in the future.

Not to mention the practice of guns, you can also bring the arms of foreign banks to advertise. However, although the people here are either rich or expensive, if they really say that they can buy more than 100 guns, there are really no people, so not many people come up to him to actually buy guns.

But just as the two were about to walk out of the club, a tall strong man in a black shirt stopped Li Tie under the leadership of two club staff.

"Little brother, I heard that your foreign company has guns to sell, I don't know what guns are and what price?"

Li Tie looked up and down at the big man in front of him, who looked sturdier than Stallone, "Oh, now the firearms market is tight, if you buy a small amount, the price will naturally be higher, don't hide it from this gentleman, if you have a hundred Mauser pistols, one will cost two hundred yuan." Bullets are also black market prices, two for one silver dollar. ”

"The price is not cheap, if I buy more." The strong man in black naturally clasped his hands on his shoulders and continued to ask unhurriedly.

"Oh, how much more?" Li Tie asked.

"A lot, a lot."

"A lot, how much?"

"At least 10,000 and a million bullets. I don't know if you have so many. The big man in black picked at the judgement in his eyes.

"Oh, in that case, please come to my foreign bank tomorrow and talk to him personally. I can guarantee that I can provide as much as you want as long as you want. Li Tie replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Okay, refreshing. I'll see you tomorrow morning. After saying that, the big man wanted to turn around and leave.

Thinking that tomorrow morning is the day of school, Li Tie hurriedly said, "I have an appointment tomorrow morning." Why don't you see you at the Majestic Hotel tomorrow at noon, and I will introduce the chairman of our foreign bank to this brother, how about it? ”

"Okay, that's a deal. See you tomorrow at 12 o'clock at noon, at the Majestic Hotel. After saying that, he didn't wait to leave his name, turned around and left with the staff of the shooting club. Not even a name was left.

However, he knew that most of the masters acted in mysterious and unpredictable ways, and Li Tie did not delve into it. It's just that in my spare time, I came out to play and brought a big customer, and my good luck was really against the sky.
