I must have slept in the morning and made fifty-five chapters fifty-seven

Because Yan Guang was the translator in the middle, the captain quickly decided to hand over the fisherman's corpse. After all, this is a cruise ship, and having a corpse on it is not a good thing after all, so if someone is willing to take over, the captain himself is still very happy, not to mention that the local government has sent them to do this.

The fishermen below were also very happy to see that the foreigners were so good at talking, in fact, they were not willing to do this kind of errand, after all, they were all fishermen instead of fishing for corpses, and it was also very unlucky to do this kind of thing, if it weren't for the government's promise that each corpse could be exchanged for a silver horn, they wouldn't have let the fish go here to fish for the corpse.

Looking at the fishing boat that was gradually leaving, and thinking that there might be several other corpses on it, Yan Guang sighed.

"In the next period of time, I am afraid that the entire Chinese economy will not be better, and I hope this situation will not affect Sichuan." Thinking that China's losses in history have reached tens of millions, and more than half of the money banks have collapsed because of this, Yan Guang now only hopes that this matter will not affect Sichuan, after all, his roots are in Sichuan.

In fact, Yan Guang also thought about whether to intervene in the matter of rubber stocks, but first, he has no strength, and secondly, no one will believe it, and the most important thing is that if there is no collapse of rubber stocks, I am afraid that there will be no Qing Zheng axe to take over the railway, in that case, there will be no road protection movement, and in the next Wuchang uprising...

Shaking his head, he didn't know why looking at the bustling Shanghai, Yan Guang always felt that there was a hint of depression in it.

After getting off the boat, Yan Guang did not look for a place to live, but took Wang Er and others to a trip to Jardine Matheson.

When Yan Guang arrived at Jardine Matheson and said to the staff, Charlie had already run out of it.

Whether it is in the oil fields of Mexico, or the news of Yan Guang's cooperation with Standard Oil, these have been transmitted to Shanghai through the newspapers, but when many people are speculating about who this Chinese named Yan Guang is, Charlie already knows that this Yan Guang is definitely the one he knows.

Although I don't know the content of the agreement reached between Yan Guang and Standard Oil (most people speculate that the agreement reached between Yan Guang and Standard Oil is relatively harsh), but no matter how harsh it is, I am afraid that there will be tens of millions of silver dollars, and if it is not done well, Yan Guang may still have hundreds of millions of silver dollars in cash, and he is a standard billionaire according to the value of wealth, so when facing Yan Guang, Charlie is definitely more kind than ever.

Such a billionaire is actually his friend, as long as he can be entrapped, are you afraid that the foreign bank will have endless financial resources in the future?

Of course, this attitude is mainly because Yan Guang succeeded, if Yan Guang told Charlie before he succeeded that he was going to Mexico to find oil, I am afraid he would point at Yan Guang's nose and say that he was crazy.

In fact, Yan Guang did come for business, because he wanted to buy a hundred Browning pistols from Charlie this time, as well as equipment for the expansion of the cement plant and equipment for the fertilizer plant.

The cement plant is for its own use, after all, the cement market in Sichuan is already saturated, and as for the fertilizer plant...

In fertilizer plants, there is something called ammonium nitrate that can be used as both fertilizer and explosives. At the end of World War II, the German army used ammonium nitrate as a grenade warhead because of the lack of resources, of course, the power was much lower than that of the previous explosives, but after all, it was not the time to rebel, so compared with other explosives that attracted attention from smuggling, the excuse of using ammonium nitrate as fertilizer would not be eye-catching.

"Mr. Riddle, can't you still buy a Mauser 98 rifle?" In addition to the above-mentioned equipment and guns, Yan Guang also needed a hundred rifles, although Yan Guang clearly favored German-made rifles. So I made a trip to Germany for this purpose.

"It's a pity, Yan." The German named Riddle shook his head. "So far all the Mauser 98 rifles have been used to refit the German ** team, so we only have committee and other rifles to sell here." Riddle knew that Yan Guang knew the difference between the Commission rifle and the Mauser rifle, so he didn't cheat on it.

"That's right." Yan Guang shook his head regretfully. "It seems that we can only make do with the committee first..."

"In three or four years' time you can get it all over the German side, and then you can buy Mauser." Riddle smiled, then instructed the staff to prepare the rifles they needed.

He didn't know that Yan Guang was complaining in his heart at this time. "In another three or four years, the First World War will start."

Just as Yan Guang and Riddle were sitting in the VIP room chatting, Yan Guang suddenly thought of another thing.

"By the way, may I ask, can you buy a Madsen machine gun here?"

"Madsen machine gun?" Riddle was taken aback.

"That's right." Yan Guang nodded.

The Danish Madsen machine gun was the world's first mass-produced practical light machine gun, nearly a decade earlier than the British Lewis machine gun, using a 30-round magazine, and in 1912 there was a 100-round drum, and the machine gun itself was very lightweight, weighing only about 9 kilograms, which was the lightest machine gun in this era.

At the same time, the machine gun itself could use bullets of various calibers, including the German 7.92 caliber bullet (the legendary 8mm round).

By the way, this machine gun was still in use some time ago when the Brazilian police were cracking down on drug lords...

"The Madsen machine gun is from Denmark, but we can buy it for you if we need to." Riddle thought for a moment and replied, after all, Denmark was next to Germany.

"That's right." Yan Guang nodded, of course he didn't need it now, and Madsen was still a little conspicuous, but when his unit expanded to a reinforced battalion...

At this moment, the clerk who had just run back. "Manager, all the rifles are loaded."

"Really?"

At this time, Wang Er also followed, Yan Guang asked with his eyes, and Wang Er nodded.

After determining the number and quality of the 100 rifles, Yan Guang loaded the guns onto the freighter along with the goods he had purchased from Jardine Matheson.

"Whew, I can finally go home." Seeing that the last wooden box was moved to the ship, Wang Er laughed easily.

"yes, I can finally go back." Yan Guang also smiled.

In fact, there was one more thing he wanted to ask Riddle, and that was if he could get his hands on the drawings of the Mauser 98.

Although Germany does not sell the Mauser 98 to the outside world now, if it can get the drawings, it can also "make it" a batch after the success of the revolution.

However, now Sichuan still belongs to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Zhao Erfeng is also a very capable governor, Yan Guang does not want to make a big move before the time is ripe, if the time is ripe to arouse Zhao Erfeng's suspicion, it will be more than worth the loss.

"Anyway, at least this time it's a complete start." After the freighter left the port, Yan Guang smiled at the people behind him.
