Bidding farewell to the black bear, Zhao Hongyu took Wang Shan and them back to their 'yurt'.

The three genetic people who were guarding Manhattan Island were also transferred back at this time. Zhao Hongyu's fifteen subordinates are all gathered, which is the maximum amount of force that Zhao Hongyu can use.

When Zhao Hongyu had several millions, he considered whether to increase manpower or develop flintlock pistols.

After some choices, Zhao Hongyu chose to increase the number of people.

Although the flintlock pistol was able to bring him a lot of profit, who did he sell it to?

Selling to the Indians would make him very insecure.

You must know that Zhao Hongyu does not have many subordinates, and he has not solved the problem of self-protection now.

If the 'high-tech' weapon of flintlock pistols were sold to the Indians, God knows what would happen. It's not that Zhao Hongyu is too careful, sometimes he has to think about a lot of issues, especially when it comes to his own safety.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu chose to increase his own manpower after the last.

Strictly speaking, the research cost of three million is not much at all, but Zhao Hongyu knew that before he had absolute suppressive power, the flintlock pistol would definitely not appear in the world realm.

"Now there are seventy-eight camps for immigrants on the side of Vernicia, the smallest camp has more than 300 people, and the largest camp has 3,000 people." After all his subordinates sat down, Wang Shan first spoke.

"Let's put this matter aside for a while, what we need to do right now is to kill Baker and keep the secret of gold." , Zhao Hongyu interrupted Wang Shan's words, his eyes scanned the faces of his subordinates, and at the same time reminded them of the most important thing now.

was interrupted by Zhao Hongyu, Wang Shan didn't react much, he just shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"We can set up an ambush on the way, and if we attack suddenly, we can kill half of them in the first place." , Song Hu, the most belligerent among the genetic people, and the guy with the strongest combat skills, proposed.

Zhao Hongyu bowed his head slightly, and said, "This proposal is good, we can ambush them halfway." In the era of cold weapons, ambushes are a good solution. After all, we are at a disadvantage due to our small numbers, so it is still possible to destroy the enemy's vitality in a short time. ”

For Song Hu's proposal, Zhao Hongyu is still very much in favor.

I don't know why Lu Dao is because of Lu Dao, among the fifteen genetic people, only Wang Shan, Song Hu and Zhang Tie have relatively high intelligence, and they talk like normal people.

As for the newly added twelve genetic people, they are a little wooden, and they must have orders to execute, and they don't have the slightest bit of assertiveness, let alone give advice.

Therefore, it is okay for the twelve genetic people to be if they do not exist, and the main thing is to depend on Wang Shan's suggestions.

"Song Hu's proposal is good, but we should not forget that we can't be too optimistic about the cold and the fight of the times. Now we are understaffed, but we can't afford to lose. After analyzing it, Wang Shan interjected.

"There are sixteen men on our side, and even if the first wave of attacks works and can destroy the opponent's sixteen men, the enemy will still have eighteen new forces. We are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and this is something that has to be considered. Wang Shan paused here before continuing: "And please don't forget that it is impossible for us to kill all sixteen people in the first wave of attacks, at most they will be injured, so we must take into account that these people still have combat effectiveness." ”

was reminded by Wang Shan like this, Zhao Hongyu, who was originally a little optimistic, calmed down.

He thought to himself: Yes, what Wang Shan said is not wrong at all. In the era of cold weapons, it is impossible for us to kill all 16 people in the first time. Moreover, the people of this era have good physical fitness, even if they are injured, they still have a certain combat effectiveness, and at the same time, the other party still has an advantage over us in numbers, which is a very troublesome thing. …,

"Chief, if that doesn't work, let's use arquebuses. A long-range attack should be able to inflict a certain amount of damage on the enemy and reduce our losses in hand-to-hand combat. Zhang Tie proposed.

After listening to Zhang Tie's proposal, Wang Shan, Song Hu and Zhao Hongyu himself all shook their heads. The arquebus of the seventeenth century, the accuracy is really poor, it does not have much effect at all when fighting, it can be used to deter and scare the enemy, but it is still very unreliable to expect the arquebus to kill people.

Even in the Napoleonic era, flintlock pistols + queue parties were actually not so terrible.

Zhao Hongyu still remembers that he once took an exam for a popular science film, in which he said this.

In Napoleon's time, the so-called elite soldiers were actually made up of people who were afraid to see each other shoot. Because in those days, the flintlock pistol only had a 5% hit rate for poor baba, and that 5% was still a shit luck ride.

Usually, at a close range of about twenty meters, it is simply impossible for a buckshot to hit the enemy. It's that God doesn't know where he flew away, and the hit rate is simply pitiful.

Unless, of course, you're really unlucky, or your opponent is out of luck.

The reason why there is a queue party is mainly to make up for the lack of hit rate.

Think about it, so many people line up to fire their guns together, and there will always be one or two buckshot shots hitting the enemy.

In fact, this matter can also be seen in some films.

In some blockbusters of the 21st century, there will be scenes of queuing parties in films depicting the American Revolutionary War. Often, viewers can see the picture of two sides lining up to fire guns, and as a result, at most two or three people fall in their respective ranks.

What does this mean?

This is the reason why the hit rate is too low.

At the time of the American Revolution, it was already the 18th century. It is more than a hundred years more advanced than the era in which Zhao Hongyu lived, but the firearms at that time were also so sad.

And the hit rate of the older arquebus, even more needless to say.

At the same time, the weight of the arquebus was simply unbelievably heavy compared to the flintlock pistol. It's not a weapon to choose at all, and it's better to use a cold weapon than an arquebus.

"Dispel your thoughts, arquebuses are a burden, we might as well not use them." , Wang Shan rolled his eyes at Zhang Tie, so that Zhang Tie looked at everyone's expressions and knew that his proposal was not very good, so he smiled embarrassedly.

"I really can't do it, chief, you can get some flintlock guns, at least they will be of some use than arquebuses." , Zhang Tie, who was the most unwilling, still gave a suggestion.

Since arquebuses are not good, then use flintlock pistols, although in general flintlock pistols are not very easy to use, but they are always much stronger than arquebuses, aren't they.

Zhao Hongyu fell silent, he was quickly weighing the disadvantages and benefits.

Yes, arquebuses can't be used, so can't flintlock pistols?

Obviously, in order to kill Baker and his party, firearms must be used. Without the use of firearms, it is clearly unrealistic to kill them without paying some price.

But the question is, if you take out a flintlock pistol, what will you say if the Mohicans ask?

This weapon was much better than the arquebus, and the Mohicans would certainly be of great interest. So did you sell it to them? These are all questions to consider.

If this weapon is sold to the Mohicans, then the strength of the Mohicans will definitely increase dramatically, and it will not be good if it brings danger to themselves at that time. …,

What Zhao Hongyu hates the most is this kind of uncontrollable factor, which is very annoying.

Then, Zhao Hongyu didn't hide anything, and told the big guy all the things he was worried about.

After listening to Zhao Hongyu's worries, Wang Shan and the others all fell into silence, and they all thought and analyzed it in their hearts.

Only the twelve Mu Negene people, who were different from Wang Shan's three people, still looked heartless, sitting there with a cold face, waiting for the order and then executing it themselves.

Damn, it seems that the most reliable ones are Wang Shan. I don't know how this space-time trader is doing, and there will still be such a situation.

Zhao Hongyu kept complaining in his heart.

Yes, this space-time trader is very illogical in many places, and Zhao Hongyu still hasn't figured out what is going on.

The more he couldn't figure it out, the more uneasy Zhao Hongyu became. He hated it because he felt like he didn't know the bottom of his heart.

However, this matter is really out of his control.

For example, Wang Shan and the others are different from the twelve genetic people who bought later, and they can buy cigarettes when they first use the space-time trader, but now they can't buy them at all......

It seems that I have time to 'excavate' this 'artifact' of my own. Zhao Hongyu secretly pondered in his heart, and made a decision at the same time.

"The chief's fears are not unreasonable, and it is really unwise to expose such a weapon when we are not strong enough. Whether we sell or not, it's bad for us. Just as Zhao Hongyu was thinking wildly, Wang Shan interrupted his thoughts.

"Oh, tell me what you think?" , Zhao Hongyu asked.

Song Hu and Zhang Tie also paid attention, and everyone looked at Wang Shan together.

"That's what I think." Seeing Zhao Hongyu asking, Wang Shan sorted out his thoughts and began to answer. "Don't sell to the Mohicans, they'll have an opinion about us, and we won't be safe if we sell to them. So I think it's better not to expose this kind of weapon, and try to use cold weapons when we haven't developed it. ”

Zhao Hongyu nodded secretly, and at the same time sighed in his heart.

At this time, he had a feeling that he had a treasure mountain but couldn't use it, which really made him too unhappy.

"Let's find the black bear, I guess he can have some people over there!" , the most reluctant, Wang Shan gave the most suitable advice.
