Chapter 432, Preparation for the Uprising

When Mr. Sun Wen found Chen Guang, he didn't expect Chen Guang to join his Xingzhong Club just after listening to a few words, just like those hot-blooded young people. In fact, the main purpose of his coming to Chen Guang was to get support in weapons. He knew that Chen Guang also had some influence at the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company, and might be able to get cheap and high-quality weapons for their operations. In addition, Chen Guang and a group of others also had a certain amount of influence in the Chinese community in North America, and through guò he could also greatly increase the influence of their organization among the Chinese in North America, and in Mr. Sun's plan, his revolution depended on the support of the Chinese in North America to a large extent.

"Mr. Chen, to tell you the truth, we intend to launch an uprising against the Manchus in the near future. For this, we need some weapons, and I know that Mr. Chen, you may have a way in these areas, and Chongguang also told me that you are a patriot who hates the traitorous government of the Manchus, and I think you will be willing to help us. ”

"Mr. Sun." Chen Guang thought for a moment and replied, "Weapons are not a big problem, you may know, I have some connections with the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company, and besides, it is always a good thing to have a business to do, and I would like to thank Mr. Sun for taking such good care of our business." It's just that Mr. Sun, from my personal experience, I think that your actions may have been a little hasty.

Indeed, the Manchu government was as unpopular as you say, it was like a rotten house, and if you kicked it in the door, the whole house would fall down. But it also takes skill to kick it. MacDonald's Infantry Weapons Company has some of the best weapons in the world, but its effectiveness depends on the training of the people who use it. You know, both the Cuban Resistance and the Manchu Huai Army used the weapons of the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company, but the table in the battle was one in the sky and one in the ground. The fighters of the Cuban Resistance have all been systematically studied and trained in Blackwater, so they are outstanding; In eastern Cuba, they were largely given autonomy. On the contrary, although the Huai army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also hired instructors from Heishui at first, they soon gave up because of funds or other reasons that could not be put on the table, and later almost completely abandoned our training model and went back to their old ways. As a result, although the army of the Huai army was armed with better guns than the Japanese, they were still beaten like stupid hats by the Japanese. So although weapons are important, training is even more important to make things happen.

Your council will expel the Tatars and restore China in the future, and war will always be inevitable in the future, right? Our company not only provides combat training, but also has a connection with West Point, which can help arrange for your personnel to enter West Point to learn combat command. I think that your club is now start-up, and you should lay a good foundation first, and accumulate steadily. Just like the king of Nan, they began to preach in Guangxi in the twenty-third year of Daoguang (1844), and they prepared for six years before they held a mission in Jintian. With such preparations, there were those talents who later fought the world in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If back then, the Heavenly King Nanwang had only preached a few months in Guangxi and had started an incident in a hurry, then the Qing Demon was afraid that he would only need to send a few officials or something to settle this incident. Even if the knife will meet them, they are fully prepared to start an incident. ”

Listening to Chen Guang's words, Mr. Sun Wen shook his head slightly, he knew that what Chen Guang said was not unreasonable, but if he really wanted to do what Chen Guang said, it would take a considerable amount of time and considerable financial support. Mr. Sun still doesn't know where the Cubans got so much money, but at the moment, they really can't get that much money. Its source of funds is very large, and it relies on the funding of overseas Chinese, and the economic strength of overseas Chinese in this era is actually very limited, not to mention that Mr. Sun has not done anything, how can people invest a large amount of money into it? Therefore, Mr. Sun felt that these things were all later, and now he had to do a big thing first to attract enough attention before he could think about the later problems.

However, Mr. Sun did not plan to talk too much about these things with Chen Guang. Previously, Chen Guang used the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom missionary and the Little Knife Society as an example to say that it was not unreasonable, but it was obviously also an organization like the God Worship Society and the Little Knife Society. To be honest, Mr. Sun is not averse to this kind of organization, but he feels that this kind of organization is outdated, and in modern times, what can really lead a country to rise again should be a Western-style political party, just like the Republican Party or the Democratic Party in the United States.

Of course, this view will definitely be ridiculed by Scrooge, because in Scrooge's view, all Republican Democrats are just vests for him and Morgan and others. The Republican Democratic Party is very loosely organized, because the United States does not rely on these two parties at all, and these two parties are essentially clubs of like-minded people who were established after the country was established. To build a revolutionary party according to their model is to follow Schwarzenegger's example.

Seeing that Mr. Sun insisted on launching an uprising first, Chen Guang didn't persuade him much, and he also vaguely guessed what Mr. Sun meant. On the rivers and lakes, if a new gang wants to make a brand, it must first do one or two big things. He felt that Mr. Sun's recent major work was for this purpose. After all, with the current strength of the Xingzhong Society, it is almost impossible to overthrow the Manchus with one guy.

"Well, what does Mr. Sun need? If you are going to fight in the field, then I recommend that you choose the latest MacDonald 1864-3 carbine. This gun is relatively shorter than the standard version of the rifle, and it is easy to carry and hide. Of course, its effective range decreased slightly, from seven hundred meters to six hundred meters of the prototype. But this doesn't really matter, because at this distance, people are already so small as ants that they can't even be seen. In fact, apart from salvo fire, there is basically no place on the battlefield where a range of more than 400 meters can be used. The normal price of this gun is 21 US dollars, that is, less than 18 taels of silver, but if you buy it in Hong Kong, you will definitely not be able to buy it at such a price, because there is a freight fee, and all foreign companies have to make money. Therefore, in the Hong Kong market, the price of this thing is generally more than 30 US dollars, and the average person cannot buy it at all. However, if Mr. Sun needs it, and the quantity is large, and the order can exceed 1,000 pieces, I can pull a line and see if I can get the guns by smuggling them. If it is delivered in Hong Kong, I can give you the price of twenty-five dollars a gun, and if it is delivered in the mainland, each gun can be cheaper by another one dollar -- hehe, Mr. Sun also knows that the Hong Kong Marine Police are much stronger than those of the Manchus. ”

"Mr. Chen said with a smile, we have just started the association, where do we use so many guns." Mr. Sun smiled and replied, "We will definitely need such guns in the future, but we don't need so many now." In addition, we will only have such a small number of people now, and it is unlikely that we will fight with the Qing army in the field. ”

"So you are going to be in the city of violence. Moved? Well, Guangzhou is not bad, whether it succeeds or not, as long as it is launched, it can shake the world. Chen Guang said with a smile, "If it is urban combat, I have several weapons that I can recommend to you, one is the McDonald 1885-2 short-barreled shotgun, which has five rounds at a time, and is unstoppable at a distance of about 170 feet. The price is not expensive, 18 dollars in North America, and here, the delivery to the mainland will cost you 22 dollars, and then there is the MacDonald Model 1890 submachine gun, which uses 9mm pistol cartridges, 30 rounds of magazines, and has good accuracy within 300 feet. In urban warfare, one can afford to pay ten ordinary rifles, but it is a little more expensive, thirty-five dollars each in North America, but it is really worth the price. If Mr. Sun needs it, I can also call the shots for forty dollars a piece. In addition, there are pistols, and if you want to buy a submachine gun, then buy MacDonald's 'Black Star Pistol', which is reasonable in size, powerful and reasonably priced, and you can buy one here for fourteen dollars. If you're not going to buy a submachine gun, then MacDonald's 'Green Anaconda' large combat pistol is good, almost half a submachine gun, but the price is a little higher, twenty-three dollars here, and it's a lot bigger than the 'Black Star'.

In addition to guns, hands . Pomegranate. Bullets are also very important weapons, this thing is easy to collect and carry, powerful, easy to use, and can be used with a little training. It's a must-have for urban battles. The price is not too expensive, it is really a necessary weapon for home travel, murder and rebellion, and Mr. Liu Yongfu from Taiwan has ordered a lot, so I can intercept a little bit from here and sell it to you at the North American price. Five dollars each. I think Mr. Sun should buy some as well. I don't know how much Mr. Sun needs. ”

Mr. Sun Wen thought about it for a while and said, "I will go back and discuss this matter with my comrades in detail, but I will definitely be able to give Mr. Chen an answer tomorrow." How is it? ”

Chen Guang stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay, I still have to stay in Hong Kong for a few days, it's completely too late." ”

……

When Mr. Sun went out, Chen Guang immediately went out and got into a rickshaw. After a while, we arrived at Fidelity Foreign Company. This Fidelity Foreign Company is a subsidiary of the MacDonald Consortium, and now the person in charge of the operation of the foreign bank is also Mr. Stephen, an old friend of Chen Guang. Chen Guang got out of the car at the door of the foreign bank, and the doorman of the foreign bank also recognized Chen Guang, so he went upstairs directly, walked to the door of the general manager's office, and then knocked on the door.

"Who? The door is unlocked, please come in. Stephen sat behind the boss's desk and said without looking up.

"Me." Chen Guang replied as he pushed open the door and walked in, "I have one thing that I need to contact the company's top management. ”
