ACT004: The courage of a man

Zhao Jian, who has traveled through three years, has learned about the overall situation of this shijie far above most of his peers through a series of evil supplements, and even cares more about international current affairs than many adults.

The biggest variable in this side of history is the mysterious existence of the "ancient people". They may be the founders of a civilization on earth, or they may be passers-by from afar, but now human beings know very little about them, only some "relics" and "antiquities" show their highly developed civilization and affect the development of mankind itself!

However, although these things are very **, but after all, it is not the product of human beings' own science and technology, and the level is too leading, although human beings have a history of contact with these things for thousands of years, but the reverse engineering in the real sense was not until the beginning of the 19th century, and the progress was very slow. Therefore, although the technology of this time and space is a little higher than the one that Zhao Jian is familiar with, it is only a part of the field.

In terms of military affairs alone, in addition to space warships and armored units that replaced tanks, the infantry of the major powers is still equipped with bolt-action rifles, bayonets and grenades, and even submachine guns have only been emerging for less than 20 years. Therefore, Zhao Jian is not worried that no one will want the second-hand guns he gets.

Three days after the banquet for Liang Guoxiong, Zhao Jian led his own caravan of tea to the Qingdao garrison regiment, pulling whole pork and some fresh vegetables, and even boxes of "burning knives" on the car. In this way, in the name of "comforting the garrison", Zhao Jian let the convoy swagger into the barracks from the main gate.

For Liang Guoxiong's "godson", the Qingdao Garrison Regiment can be said to be well known. However, Zhao Jian was friendly to others, and did not arrogantly treat these soldiers because he was a rich young master, so he was quite popular in the barracks, greeting people with a smile along the way, and if anyone asked him what was in the car, he would lift the corner of the canvas, revealing the pork and wine inside, and then showed a knowing smile to each other.

"You stinky boy, you're spending money again."

Looking at these things brought by Zhao Jian, although Liang Guoxiong's tone seemed to be reproaching, he actually appreciated Zhao Jian's approach. After all, they wanted to resell military supplies, and it was almost impossible to completely avoid the eyes and ears of the thousands of people in the regiment, so it was necessary to get some good food and drink.

Asking all his subordinates to help unload the car, Liang Guoxiong glanced at Zhao Jian, who immediately understood and followed Liang Guoxiong to the interior of the station. The two walked to the deepest part of the barracks, and Liang Guoxiong stretched out his hand and pointed to the warehouses in front of him and said.

"This is the armory, everything is here."

As soon as Zhao Jian entered the warehouse, he saw rows of neat rows of rifles on the shelves inside, and some soldiers were violently disassembling with hammers and axes.

"Father-in-law, didn't you say that you would sell it to me?"

"Stinky boy, there are 1,700 guns here, and you still want to take them!?"

"Not much."

knocked Zhao Jian's head angrily, and Liang Guozhi said that this kid has a big appetite. Although he can use rotten iron sheets and wooden poles to replace him with some real guns, he can't go too far, and the military department will send people to check them. If he was found to be in the wrong amount of destruction, he, the regimental commander, would have to walk around without food.

The warehouse is staffed by Leung's cronies, who are mixing disassembled rifle parts with prepared fakes. There were sticks in the buttstock, iron bars in the barrel, and a lot of iron nails and screws mixed in the other scattered accessories, at least in this amount of weight. As long as these are dealt with today, who can see that the dumbbells are mixed with iron nails?

"Silly boy, I have a regiment of 1,200 people, and the one-year live-fire training is 400 rounds per person, and in a few years, the rifling of these guns has long been about to die. What I'm going to give you is the 500 spare guns, which are usually used less, basically 7 or 8 into new, and you can sell them at a good price, right? ”

"Alright! I tried to see if I could buy all these guns for more than 10,000 francs per unit. ”

Although he felt that 500 rifles were still a little less, Zhao Jian did not dare to embarrass his father-in-law anymore. Zhao Jian walked up to the rows of rifles that were obviously much newer, and took one from the top and rubbed it in his hand.

The rifle in his hand is the standard rifle of the previous generation of Datang, and the appearance is similar to that of the active Lee Enfield in the UK. All of them are 10-round, rotary pull-back shots, with an extremely fast rate of fire, excellent accuracy and power. One of the major features of the gun is that the magazine is detachable, that is, the bullet can be pressed into it from above, and the magazine can also be directly replaced with a new one, saving reloading time.

It is worth mentioning that this rifle is called "Yonglin Twelve Style" in the Tang Dynasty, Yonglin is the name of the first emperor, and then up is Huiyin, Inba, Fengjian, and this dynasty is Lingmeng. This made Zhao Jian unable to complain, and at the same time, he also felt that Liang Guoxiong's new gun that they were about to install might need to be coined!

There are a total of 500 guns, and the numbers of all the guns have been sharpened with files by Liang Guoxiong, and then wrapped in rag bags filled with garbage, and when Zhao Jian is about to leave, he asks someone to put them in the carriage of the Zhao family, so as not to leave the warehouse too early and be discovered by too many people.

"Xiaojian, what are you going to do with these guns, have you contacted your family?"

"Not yet! I'll have to wait until I go to Africa, so I'll have to do a field trip first. Zhao Jian replied truthfully.

"Oh, that's it...... Wait a minute, little deflated calf! You're going to Africa? ”

As soon as he heard that Zhao Jian was going by himself, Liang Guoxiong's eyes suddenly widened, and Zhao Jian was yelled at by his cold and loud voice, first shrank in fright, and then said something unclear.

"yes, what's the problem?"

"What's the problem? You're only 12 years old, don't stay at home, what are you running to that ghost place where birds don't? I've heard that there are even cannibals in that place, aren't you afraid of letting people steam and eat!? In my opinion, you can leave this matter to Uncle Qin and them, don't follow to make a fool of yourself! ”

"Father-in-law, you're all hearsay, where can it be so serious! I'm not afraid that they won't understand the local situation, so I want to go over and help supervise. ”

"The toad yawns, what a big breath! They don't know what they do, what do you know about it? ”

Zhao Jian, who was poked in the head by Liang Guoxiong with his finger and couldn't explain to the other party, had to laugh with him, and at the same time, his brain teaser was spinning, and he wanted to find a suitable reason for himself.

"Father-in-law, I don't want to go out and see the world! Look at those big families, there are many children who start to get in touch with business at the age of 11 or 2, and I don't want to lose at the starting line! ”

"Yo he! This fallacy is still a set of fallacies. If you want to see the world, you can go to more places, what can you see when you go to Africa? See the smoky miasma colonies of British human traffickers? ”

"Father-in-law......"

"That's it! I will never agree to this, when the time comes, I will contact some knowledgeable old friends to follow, you can honestly read books at home for me. I'll tell you, if you don't get rid of that, you won't even want to pull any of these guns. ”

Facing Liang Guoxiong, who was categorical in his words and did not give himself a little room for manoeuvre, Zhao Jian thought for a while, suddenly put away his hippie smiling face, and the whole person became serious, Liang Guoxiong glanced at the appearance of the little adult on the other side, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"If you want to pretend to be mature, wait until you're over 1.5 meters tall."

"Father-in-law, I remember that your hometown is in the Northeast, right?"

"That's right, your father and I are both from outside the country, and we are fellow countrymen."

"I remember you left home when you were 12 years old, right?"

Zhao Jian's words made Liang Guoxiong suddenly remember what happened when he had just left the Daxing'an Mountains to study. He and Zhao Jian's father Zhao Teng are both fellow villagers, and their ancestors went out to Kanto back then, and later came back in order to study. Leaving home at the age of 12, it all relied on a tiger spirit that was not afraid of the sky and the earth.

"It's different, we were ...... then"

"But people are the same, if I live in the Zhao family's mansion for the rest of my life, I will never be able to become a real man. People should go out and break through, not necessarily to see those beautiful, developed, advanced, see those primitive, bloody, cruel, can train a man's courage, I will be worthwhile! ”

Zhao Jian's words made Liang Guoxiong fall silent, he didn't expect a 12-year-old doll to say such philosophical words, and this courage is so similar to his own back then, so that Liang Guoxiong repeatedly saw himself back then in a trance. He looked directly into Zhao Jian's eyes for a long time, and when he saw that the other party had no intention of flinching, he couldn't help but nod.

"I'm a bit of a man, I can agree to that, but I have a request. I'll have to pick 10 men from my platoon of guards to follow you, all of whom are my cronies and lifelong friends. When you get there, they'll take care of your safety, and you'll have to take these people with you wherever you go, so don't go it alone. Just this one request, can you kid agree to me? ”

"No problem!"

Zhao Jian happily agreed.

PS: I went out to do something in the afternoon, I just came back, I was in good shape this morning, and I tried to do it again at about 9 o'clock in the evening. On the 5th, I have to go to Haicheng to go to the grave of my grandfather, and I will release the deposit draft regularly in those days, and if there is a problem in the background and it is not released, I will make up for it together when I come back on the 7th.
