However, Xu Rui does not think David will betray his promise.
This does not mean that Xu Rui has much confidence in David's character. Xu Rui and David are not very familiar with each other. How can he know what kind of character David is? This is not because Xu Rui has much confidence in Americans. In fact, Americans are the least trustworthy group. They will sell anything for profit, including their own souls.
Xu Rui just has confidence in gold, that's all.
If David had been greedy for one hundred taels of gold, his income would have been limited to this.
But if David chooses to cooperate with him, his short-term income may not be as good as the one hundred taels of gold, but in the long run, his income will be far more than the one hundred taels of gold! Xu Rui believes that David is a discerning person and he should make the right choice between the two.
There is an old saying that says Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
When Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng were thinking about catching David, David actually came back. Also returning with David was Zhuanshan Leopard, who was seconded by the fourth team.
After the battle to defend Feicheng, the Diamond Mountain Leopard was borrowed by Gao Hanting.
After nearly three months of arduous training, the special forces of the four teams have basically taken shape. The Mountain Leopards are clamoring to return to the independent regiment. It just so happens that David takes the equipment purchased from Shanghai and takes the cargo ship of the American and British Tobacco Company. After landing near Tonglu and entering the defense area of the fourth detachment, Gao Hanting asked Zhuan Shanbao to lead a platoon to escort them along the way.
Gao Hanting still had the same temper, plucking the hair of the goose, and David withheld 10 more of the 30 Gatling guns he purchased from Shanghai. Zuanshan Leopard was so angry that he couldn't argue with him, but Gao Hanting said shamelessly that this It was the labor fee for four of their detachments to send a group to escort them along the way.
When it comes to cheating, Zhuanshan Bao is no match for Gao Hanting.
Just like that, 10 Gatling machine guns were gone.
As soon as they met, David apologized to Xu Rui repeatedly and said: "Miz Xu, Sao Rui, Vali Vali Sao Rui, because I was worried that Dameishan did not have the processing tools at hand, so I bought the 30 Gatling The machine guns were processed in Shanghai, and according to your requirements, they were all converted into portable ones."
At this point, David paused and then said: "Unfortunately, Commander Gao of the four detachments forcibly seized ten of them on the way, so now, I can only hand you 20 machine guns."
After finishing speaking, David turned back and waved, and four teams of soldiers came up leading a team of mules and horses.
Seeing the heavy wooden crates carried on the backs of mules and horses, the eyes of the soldiers, pythons, and Siberian tigers immediately lit up.
The next moment, these three sturdy men roared at the same time, racing each other faster, rushing to the front of the team of mules and horses, then unloading three boxes from the backs of the mules and horses, and then drew out their bayonets. He pried it open, and then took out three dark Gatling machine guns from the wooden box.
A standard Gatling gun weighs more than 100 kilograms. If you add a bracket, it weighs almost 130 kilograms!
Even after David's careful modification, some unnecessary parts were removed, and the gun frame was fixed and converted into a portable type, each Gatling machine gun weighed more than 90 kilograms, and ordinary people could not even carry it. It doesn't move, but to the three soldiers, this weight is nothing at all.
The soldier easily picked up the Gatling gun with his left hand, and then lightly tapped the machine gun wheel with his right hand. The machine gun wheel composed of six barrels immediately started spinning. Just hearing this sound, the soldier I felt that all the hairs on my body stood up in an instant. It was so cool. This machine gun was so cool.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" The boa constrictor was so happy that he swore loudly.
The Siberian tiger was even more impatient. Holding a machine gun in one hand, he turned around and shouted: "Buffalo, buffalo!"
A tall man over two meters tall, with a waist thicker than a bucket, stumbled towards the Siberian tiger, stood upright and saluted, shouting: "Brother Tiger, you called me?"
This buffalo really lives up to its name, with a waist thicker than that of a cow.
"Load the bullet!" the Siberian tiger roared loudly, "You little thing, hurry up and load the bullet!"
The buffalo yelled, and took out a magazine from the basket on its back. Just as he was about to load it into the Gatling gun carried by the Siberian tiger, he was dumbfounded the next second because the magazine was not loaded at all. Not on.
At this time, David unloaded another wooden crate from the back of the mule and horse, then took out a metal bullet chain filled with bullets from the wooden crate, handed it to the buffalo and said, "Try this."
The buffalo took the metal bullet chain and loaded it easily.
David proudly said to Xu Rui: "This metal bullet chain is specially designed by me for these Gatling guns. It is easier to carry than bullet sheets and more durable than bullet belts. More importantly, this bullet chain The chain has been specially improved by me to make it easier to load, so when using this chain, the firepower is sustained better than other bullet chains.”
The Siberian tiger couldn't hold it any longer, so he pulled the bolt of the gun and shouted to the front: "Get out of the way, get out of my way!"
The officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment standing in front of the Siberian Tiger jumped to both sides with a roar, and a large piece of space was immediately opened in front of the Siberian Tiger. The Siberian Tiger laughed and pulled the trigger without hesitation, and he held it in his left hand. The six-barrel Gatling gun on it immediately began to roar violently.
"Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu..."
Accompanied by intensive gunfire, hot bullet casings fell at the Siberian tiger's feet like rain.
In less than ten seconds, a 25° metal bullet chain has been shot. At this rate, the number of shots per minute will exceed a thousand! This shot was far beyond the Type 92 heavy machine gun of the little devil. As for the crooked gun, the actual number of shots per minute was less than two hundred, let alone mentioning it.
The Siberian tiger touched the barrel of the gun and found that it was not very hot. The sour feeling was indescribable.
At that moment, the Siberian tiger screamed again: "Buffalo, reload the damn bullet for me!"
This time Xu Rui didn't agree. He stepped forward and slapped the Siberian tiger on the back of the head. He laughed and scolded: "You prodigal thing, just try the gun and you'll be fine. Are you addicted to shooting? You don't have to pay for bullets? You Just waste it casually?"
David lost no time in saying: "Missu, please rest assured that the bullets of this Gatling machine gun are the same as the Maxim heavy machine gun, so you don't have to worry about running out of bullets."
David said this in Chinese, but it was a bit stiff.
The Siberian Tiger immediately grinned and said: "Captain, Mr. David has already said that the bullets of this Gatling machine gun are the same as the Maxim heavy machine gun. Don't worry about running out of bullets. Otherwise, let me shoot again." A bullet chain?”
The soldier and the boa constrictor also came up and said, "Captain, we also need to shoot a bullet chain."
"Okay, okay." Xu Rui said with a groan, "Even if you don't have to worry about running out of bullets, you can't waste it like this. Besides, there are so many Japs guarding the outside of the mountain. Are you still worried about not having a chance to fight to your heart's content?"
The Siberian tiger scratched his head and said naively: "There's no need to worry."
"Afraid? Why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Rui snorted, "Who would take your machine gun away?"
After finishing speaking, Xu Rui said to the Siberian Tiger, Soldier, and Boa Constrictor: "Each of the three groups of your firepower team will take away two Gatling machine guns, and each machine gun will take away ten ammunition belts. The remaining Put all the fourteen machine guns and ammunition into the warehouse, Yanzi, take away the remaining guns and ammunition."
Xiao Yanyue responded and led people to take away all the remaining guns and ammunition.
It was only then that David brought another foreigner with a high nose and blue eyes in the crowd to Xu Rui and said, "Mis Xu, this is the steel expert I told you about, Mark Jin."
"Hello, Mark." Xu Rui said in fluent English, "My name is Xu Rui, you can just call me Xu."
"Hello, Miss Xu." Mark shook hands with Xu Rui warmly and said with a smile, "I am very happy to come to Dameishan to work. I believe this will definitely become the most wonderful experience in my life."
Xu Rui smiled when he heard this. Considering the monthly salary of 100 US dollars, this would certainly be a wonderful experience.
But for those who are truly capable, Xu Rui doesn't mind giving them high salaries. For example, Wu Qian's teacher, the chemist Zheng Erqiang, Xu Rui gave him a monthly salary of 500 yuan, but his high integrity is just a symbol. Xing received a monthly salary of five yuan and donated all the rest back to the army.
Xu Rui couldn't ask Mark and David like this. After all, they were Americans.
Xu Rui then said: "David, take Mark to the guest house to rest first. I have asked people from the logistics department to arrange two guest rooms for you in the guest house."
The guest house in the Dameishan base area was also just established. It was specially provided for intellectuals or foreign affairs personnel like David, Mark and Zheng Erqiang who had made special contributions to the base area. As the Dameishan base area gradually got on the right track, various functional institutions It is bound to be established one by one.
Only then did David realize that the independent regiment seemed to be about to leave, so he asked: "Missu, what are you doing?"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just a group of Japanese who came. After I beat them away, I will come back to have a good chat with you about the next stage of cooperation."
David said with concern: "Do you need my help?"
"No need." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "Just rest well."
"Okay." David nodded and said, "Then I will wait for your good news at the guest house."
Xu Rui smiled slightly, made an OK gesture to David, then turned around and took the directly affiliated teams of the Independent Regiment and the Langya Squadron on the journey to Wanmadu.
In the crowd, the soldiers, the Siberian tiger, the boa constrictor and the other three machine gunners in the fire team held their chests high and were particularly excited. Nothing else. The Gatling machine gun they just got is too brutal. The intensity of the firepower is really incredible. In other words, they now wish that the Japanese would come over quickly and let them have a good time. (To be continued.)
