Chapter 179 Knockout

There was a buzz in the hall.

Since the establishment of Dayuan Telecom Company, the leaders have maintained the operation of the entire traversing force through forums, voice software, and small-scale meetings.And this large meeting room, which was converted from the Dutch restaurant, has not been used for a long time.

Today's "firearms stereotype meeting" is really because there are too many noisy things in the past two days. The manager Ma Zekai held such a meeting, ready to settle the situation and quickly determine the main gun type of the crossing army in the future.

In the old restaurant that had been hastily cleaned, fine dust floated in the air, and the time travelers were scattered in groups of three or four, sitting on dilapidated wooden stools, gathering in small groups in a messy manner, with their heads together, whispering to each other, Whispering.

Sitting behind a broken table on the rostrum, Ma Zekai, who was smoking with his legs crossed, looked at his watch from time to time, preparing to announce the opening of the meeting as soon as the hour came.

"I really don't understand. Shouldn't the people in the army have the final say on what weapons to use?" Wearing a 07-style blue navy general uniform with polished leather shoes, the meticulous navy general Mu Longcheng, At this time, he was sitting in the corner of the restaurant, whispering angrily to the people next to him.

"In theory." Beside Mu Longcheng, Han Xiaobo, the army commander in camouflage training uniform, laughed at this moment: "But in reality, weapons are decided by the arms dealer and the senator at the wine table , Soldiers can only take the prescribed allocations and purchase the prescribed varieties. This is called shuanggui.”

"Just return the arms dealer, cut, put the cart before the horse!"

Hearing Mu Longcheng's complaints, Han Xiaobo pouted with a smile: "Then, there are no arms dealers in this room, but the councilors are sitting in a bunch."

It's a bit pitiful to say, except for these two representatives of the navy and army in military uniforms sitting at the base of the wall, there is no soldier in this room.

Even the commander of the Marine Corps, Qian Mou, who was supposed to show his face, found an excuse to get out of the way after seeing this funny scene of gun emperors gathering - the Marine Corps has no scale now and is used as a special force Well, all the weapons are "imported" high-end goods, Commander Qian has the confidence, so he won't come in troubled waters.

Dozens of spear masters from all walks of life sat abruptly in the restaurant like the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

Comrade Mu Longcheng in the corner was finally so bored that he started to investigate the enemy situation: "Is Tao Zheng's group members of 56 and a half party?"

"No, it's from the AK gang." Han Xiaobo told the gang well.

"Huh? Didn't you say that the top 56 and a half people are the most, why are they all in the AK gang?"

"It's all a joke on the Internet. Who doesn't know that AK is using his energy?"

"Cut, can it be made?" Mu Longcheng looked contemptuous.

"The AK Party has already demonstrated it on the forum." Han Xiaobo had a playful face at this moment: "The old men in Afghanistan can make it in the workshop, so we can do the same!"

"I'll go, those are some assembly workshops, and the barrels are all imported." Mu Longcheng rolled his eyes.

"We can also import gun barrels."

"The barrel can be imported, that."

At this moment, the conversation between the two was interrupted by Ma Zekai, who was knocking on the broken table: "Everyone, be quiet, it's time for the meeting, let's start now."

Ma Zekai's age is relatively high among those who are generally under 30 years old: 36 years old.Lao Ma had worked as a firearms repairman in a private weapons company before, and he was the only one in the group with actual combat experience in making guns.

"We still use the old method today: each group sends people to the stage in turn, and each person has 10 minutes to speak, after which there is voting, and the final elimination system."

Ma Zekai is very clear that his new weapon company is just a worker and has no right to speak at all, so the old horse now has a calm expression that has nothing to do with him: Let's make a noise. Materials, I dare to make.

However, the masters who understand guns in the audience don't think so, especially the supporters of AK, 56 and a half guns with the largest number of people.Comrades have confident smiles on their faces, and they seem to have enough confidence to knock down their opponents, so that thousands of brave fighters who will cross the country in the future will go into battle with the guns in their hearts to kill the enemy.

Just as Ma Zekai was about to draw lots and arrange the order of contestants on stage, three people walked in outside the restaurant.

The first one is the current CEO of Time Travel Group, Xia Xianze and Xia Zhongtang.

Following Mr. Xia was Zou Guoqing, Mr. Zou Ge, one of the princes in the big office, who was in charge of the industry.

The last time traveler, who was wearing a suit and had prematurely grayed hair, was around 35 years old named Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng is the former captain of the fire brigade of the Armed Police. He has recently started to walk in the big office, in charge of military logistics, recruit training, and military material procurement.

Seeing these three people enter the door, the originally lively atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly stagnated. The comrades are quickly assessing the impact of these goods on their team, so the scene is a little deserted.

However, Han Xiaobo, who was sitting in the corner at this time, grinned slightly and laughed silently - his rich life experience told him that there should be a good show to watch today!

Seeing Zhongtang enter the door, Ma Zekai hastily stepped out to greet him, took Mr. Xia's hand in casual clothes, and shook it non-stop, his flattery was beyond words.

As for Xia Xianze, the three of them walked up to the rostrum while smiling and greeting the gun masters with changing faces.

After coughing twice, Xia Xianze, who was standing on the stage, first tapped the broken table in front of him with his middle finger, and then said with a smile, "I won't waste everyone's time, I'll leave after a few words."

No one doubts Lao Xia's words—there are less than 200 people in the time-traveling crowd, and bureaucratic habits are far from being formed.People in Xia Xianze's position are busy with affairs all day long, and they leave after a few words, which will definitely not exceed 3 minutes. to get off work
"I'm here today, first of all I want to tell you some good news!" Xia Xianze smiled all over his face at this moment: "After negotiating with Mr. Cao, I now solemnly declare to everyone: No matter what type of gun we choose, Mr. Cao will use the best Fast speed, import 200 sample guns of the highest quality, to equip our earliest cadet company!"

Scattered applause and scattered cheers came from the audience.Xia Xianze, who was already used to this kind of situation, was about to open his mouth to say something, when his cuff was suddenly pulled by Lu Sheng, and then the middle-aged white-haired former armed policeman whispered a word in Lao Xia's ear .

"Gun butt, oh yes, I forgot the gun butt." Xia Xianze patted his head: "Sorry, I don't know much about guns. Well, we have to produce the gun butt ourselves."

At this time, no one in the audience spoke, and there was silence.

Even the person with a less sensitive sense of smell felt that something was wrong at this moment, and everyone is now waiting for Master Zhongtang to say "but".

"But, um, everyone knows that our power is extremely short of various industrial raw materials, so..."

When Xia Xianze said this, he turned his head and nodded to Zou Guoqing who was standing beside him: "So, after our research, we have decided that for a period of time in the future, all self-produced guns must not use metal cartridges, especially copper cartridges. This restriction will remain in effect until we have a sufficient amount of copper mines! My words are over."

If you say what you say, you must practice it, and in reality you believe in others.

Xia Xianze's trio, from entering to leaving, took a total of 3 minutes.

The ignorant gun masters were left sitting there staring with big eyes.

After 5 suffocating minutes passed, a person slowly stood up from the seat——Tao Zheng, vice president of Dayuan Telecom, a fan of AK series rifles.

He took two mouthfuls of the long-mouthed Liqun that was about to burn out between his fingers, then threw the cigarette butt under his feet, and crushed it again. The next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tao Zheng turned around and walked out of the restaurant door , like a dignified dog.

"Hahaha," Mu Longcheng, who had already blushed from the suffocation, began to laugh wantonly at this moment.Following Mu Longcheng's laughter, a large wave of AK and 56 half-party members turned around and left expressionlessly.

You can’t use copper bullet casings, which means that you can only use black powder and paper-wrapped bullets. All semi-automatic and automatic firearms are silently eliminated at this moment——AK and 56 semi-precision firearms, with black residue flying around Gunpowder, a few shots will explode the chamber.

"Very good." After laughing, Mu Longcheng straightened his face, glanced at the remaining goods in the room, stood up and said, "Let me make it clear first, brothers go to the battlefield to fight to the death, Lao Tzu The lives of you and your brothers are not used to play with your feelings. Therefore, those who are arguing to equip the army with muskets can go now, or you will lead the team yourself, and I want to see if you can survive How many days?"

Looking at Mu Longcheng's contemptuous eyes and Han Xiaobo's stern face, several Brown Beth party members also left in desperation.

"Very good, the ticket players are gone, and finally we can talk about something serious." Ma Zekai walked over from the stage at this time, pulled a broken bench and sat down, then glanced at the few survivors in the room, and smiled Speaking of.

The vigorous firearms stereotypes conference has dramatically turned into a small meeting with less than 10 people participating.

Now, after going through the process of eliminating all kinds of strange things, there are only three candidate rifles that still insist on the post: Minigun, Sharps, and Chasaipo.

The principle is simple: since you can’t use copper-cased bullets, you can only push forward according to the history of firearms development. Which gun is the closest to the age of rifles equipped with copper-cased bullets, and which gun must be the most powerful candidates.

Therefore, the Minigun was quickly eliminated.

In the Prussian-Prussian War in 1866, the Austrian army equipped with Mini guns was defeated on the battlefield by the Prussian army equipped with breech-loading pin-style Dreiser rifles. The famous front-loading Mini guns officially withdrew from history from this moment stage.

The transitional breech Dreiser rifle was quickly eliminated by the French army's excellent Chasepo rifle.

Therefore, the problem faced by the time traveler is: choose one of the two excellent rifles in the same era.

Sharps and Chasepo, choose one of the two.
