mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 457
Zhao Chuanxin was surprised to receive a call from Fritz Heinze.

"How do you know the phone number here?"

"Don't mind, Mr. Zhao. I have no intention of prying into your privacy. It's just something important. I called the Lawson Trust Company, which is the number Lawson gave me." Fritz Heinze spoke very politely.

Perhaps mentioning the famous "Bronze King", others would give a little bit of fluff, Zhao Chuanxin is not used to him: "It's early in the morning, please play if you have something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do."

The big brother on the list has fallen from the altar.

It's time for Zhao Chuanxin to let him feel the coldness of the world.

Fritz Heinze recalled the scene when Zhao Chuanxin asked for a high salary. This world is really wonderful. He couldn't help but smile wryly: "Mr. Zhao, a man named Kang Youwei came to me. He is uniting all your enemies. Want to deal with you."

Zhao Chuanxin sat on a chair, straightened his long legs, lit a cigarette and said, "Who knows, this Kang Youwei really has no sense of boundaries and always offends me. How he wants to die... ...No, did he say how he wants to deal with me?"

"..." Fritz Heinze said, "He didn't say he wanted to hurt you, but he just wanted to drive you out of the United States. He said you wanted to kill him. Although he tried his best to show a fearless appearance, I could tell he was terrified."

"laugh……"

Zhao Chuanxin's obscene expression of Kang Youwei's mouth appeared in Zhao Chuanxin's mind, and he couldn't help laughing.

"He's definitely going to pay for what he did."

History would be eclipsed without it.

How boring would it be if the world was full of righteous people?

This guy is very smart, knowing that he can't go head-to-head with Zhao Chuanxin, and started to save the country with curves.

Fritz Heinze said: "Mr. Zhao, I didn't agree or refuse that day. Kang Youwei invited me to watch the Great White Fleet pass by New York Harbor. I guess you can find him there."

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up: "Thank you so much. But why do you help me? If I am you, I must do it the other way around."

Fritz Heinze smiled wryly: "Mr. Zhao, if there is only one person in this world who can never be offended, that person will not be Roosevelt, nor Rockefeller and JP Morgan, but it will definitely be you. I I have been studying Chinese history for a while, and there is a man named Liu Bowen in your country, who was said to know 500 years before and 500 years later. I think you are also this kind of person. Not to mention that you are also called the Far East...er, God of War."

He almost said "The Butcher of the Far East".

Fortunately, the response was timely.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "Very good, you got my friendship. If you have something to ask Thomas or Jesse, I will return your favor."

Fritz Heinze thanked him politely, as if he owed Zhao Chuanxin a favor.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chuanxin washed and ate.

Miao Cuihua became extremely serious, and she no longer teased him, which made Zhao Chuanxin very uncomfortable.

Where did that charming lady Hua go?

Zhao Chuanxin shouted in his heart.

After eating, it was another day of gouging flesh and blood with sticks and bone needles.

Seeing this, Qianfan ran away in a hurry, otherwise the noise would be too disturbing to the people... disturbing the dog.

……

Hong Kong Island.

Li Guangzong received a telegram from Sun Gongwu, asking him to call back.

Li Guangzong immediately went to the mail room.

Here is a British wood-cased magnet telephone from 1905.

Li Guangzong said: "Xiao Zhang, come and generate electricity for my hand crank."

This phone needs to be cranked to generate electricity.

If lovers talk on the phone with this thing, their arms may become numb after the call.Talking on the phone for a long time can build biceps.

The assistant called Xiao Zhang began to shake the handle hard.

Li Guangzong dialed the phone.

Sun Gongwu's voice came: "Mr. Li, are you all right?"

"Mr. Sun, hello. What can I do for you?" Li Guangzong was infected with Zhao Chuanxin's uprightness.

Sun Gongwu didn't mind, for him, Li Guangzong was the big brother.

What is there to argue with Big Brother?
He smiled and said, "This time, I'm still here to ask for help..."

Li Guangzong interrupted him directly: "Mr. Sun, Ming people don't speak dark words. Xuantianzong is also living on a daily basis, unable to make ends meet. There is really no food to supply, no money to spend."

Sun Gongwu choked for a while, but fortunately he was used to being bullied all the year round.

Doing business, what is this grievance?
He continued to laugh: "Mr. Li, this is a big event, this is a good event, and it is an important matter related to the country's century-old plan. Once successful, not only you and I will be famous in history, but also, doesn't Mr. Zhao want to find an official in the future? job?"

"To be honest, sir, he doesn't want to ask for an official. He's used to being lazy. He wants to be famous in history, but I guess, even if he doesn't get involved in your affairs, his actions will make a mark in history."

Oil and salt do not enter, right?

Sun Gongwu is a very persevering person in this regard.

He continued: "Okay, even if you don't ask for an official position or leave your name, even if you think about the people of the world and overthrow imperialism, it's always meaningful, right?"

"Sun is not talented, and he takes fraternity and the world as his duty. I think Mr. Zhao is also a fellow. He must be willing to do something for the people of Li."

Li Guangzong sighed: "Mr. Sun, let me do the math for you. In October, Xuantianzong's sect had a total income of about 10 yuan. Xuantianzong's expenses were less than 5 yuan, and the construction of Lugang Town cost a lot of money." 3000 yuan, the remaining money must be put into the treasury for emergencies. In addition, a sum of money must be paid for the Xuantianzong sect meeting in the second half of the year, as well as the personnel of both Lugang Town and Xuantianzong Travel expenses for exchanges... So, I really have no money in my hand."

I thought Sun Gongwu would be very disappointed, but when he changed the subject, he said righteously: "Revolution is not only about money, but also people. Sun heard that your Xuantianzong has an adjudication team, and everyone is very skilled. Not as good as Li Mr. borrowed from me temporarily..."

Good guy, it turns out that the drunkard's intention is not to drink.

Li Guangzong couldn't laugh or cry: "The adjudication team only serves Xuantianzong. This is an iron-clad rule, and it cannot be changed. What's more, we have recently noticed that the Japanese are eager to move in Macau across the sea, and they often use ships to transport weapons and ammunition. I must Guard against them."

Sun Gongwu was a bit out of touch: "Then this, this..."

Whether you want money or not, can you still have fun?

Historically, he has always made such empty-mouthed wishes.

Li Guangzong's heart moved.

Suddenly, two bold ideas came up.

One is, since it can be deployed on Hong Kong Island, why can't it go to the island on the other side of the sea?
The second is that according to Mr. Sun's deduction of the future, although Sun Gongwu is not a great talent at this time, his future will be successful sooner or later.Why not pave the way for the next era?

Even if the husband has no intention of officialdom, there are people in the court who are easy to handle.

He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Sun, I know that your followers are all over Southeast China. I want you to do me a favor."

He first said that asking the other party to help was a test.

Sun Gongwu did not shirk: "Mr. Li, please tell me, if you can help, Sun dares not do his best?"

"Help me find out why the Japanese sent weapons to Macau?"

"It's a small matter, and it's on me."

The corner of Li Guangzong's mouth twitched: "Mr. Sun is dedicated to the country. Although the adjudication team can't lend it to you, I can say hello to Battalion Commander Zhao in Lugang Town and see if there are any promising young people who are interested in the battlefield." , maybe I can recommend one or two for you."

Sun Gongwu had already given up.

Unexpectedly, the surprise came too suddenly.

He was overjoyed, and his mouth was a little dizzy when he spoke: "That's great, that..."

The Lugang Town Insurance Team is a world-renowned team.

The adjudication team is nothing!

Li Guangzong laughed.

Because when Sun Gongwu found out the truth, he wondered if he would be excited?
……

On the third day, Mahina was busy tattooing Zhao Chuanxin in the yard.

Freddie Pavitt is back with Benjamin Goldberg and Marcus Nkrumah.

Along with them were three wagons carrying goods.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin, who was lying on a chair with tattoos, Benjamin Goldberg jumped out of the carriage and rushed over: "Master!"

Zhao Chuanxin raised his head, he really missed this little bastard after not seeing him for a long time.

He smiled and said, "Come back."

Benjamin Goldberg gestured and said: "Master, the Freddy Arms Production Company has started work. This time we brought back Ares M1907 and Lugang M1907 and the ammunition you asked for."

Ares M1907 is a submachine gun made by the master and apprentice.

Lugang M1907 is a pistol developed by master and apprentice plus John Browning.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand to stop Mahina, signaling to wait until the tattoo.

"Show me."

Knowing how to play with guns is nothing, but now he designs and builds his own guns, which is much more interesting.

Benjamin Goldberg directed Marcus Nkrumah to carry boxes down.

After opening the birch box, Zhao Chuanxun saw the hay and wood stuffing inside.

Benjamin Goldberg excitedly picked up a Ares M1907 and handed it to him.

Zhao Chuanxin took it over, the structure was the same as his prototype gun, but the details were more refined and the workmanship was excellent.

Benjamin Goldberg said: "Master, this gun weighs 6.6 pounds. The wood of the butt is mainly made of better Sapele wood imported from the UK. The first batch of guns is prepared for you personally. For the rest, please use some wood. The magazine capacity is 50 rounds, and the others are 40 rounds. The bullets are the same as the Lugang M1907, and they all use standard Parabellum bullets."

The 9mm Parabellum bullet is used, which means that the bullets of Lugang M1907 and Ares M1907 can be used in common.

This is very important on the battlefield.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at it over and over again, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

The wooden texture of the gun stock is very beautiful, this thing can be used as a collectible.

He retracted the magazine, toggled the speed switch, pulled the handle, first aimed at the shoulder, and then put one hand on the side of the waist, changing the left and right hands, and the feel was very good.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was satisfied, Freddy Pavit could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He had been incapable of doing things before, but this time he finally successfully completed the task assigned by Zhao Chuanxin.

He directed Marcus Nkrumah to move another box: "Sir, this is Lugang M1907, take a look."

Zhao Chuanxin took over the pistol, which was 220mm in length and weighed 2 catties empty. The locking iron was different from John Browning's usual design of the gun, which swings up and down.

Zhao Chuanxin tried it, and he thought it was better than Ma Pai Luzi.

Open the hammer, click...

Withdrew the magazine and looked at it. There were double magazines. He asked, "What's the capacity?"

Speaking of this, Benjamin Goldberg was very proud: "The capacity is 15 rounds. Master, you don't know, the old man Browning is unwilling to use double-row magazines even if he dies, and thinks it is unstable. So, we and He divides the patents equally, he uses the slider model, we use the hammer model, and they don’t interfere with each other, and they have been registered for patents. His gun can only have 7+1 bullets at most, but we have 15 rounds.”

In fact, this is not only a problem of magazine capacity, but John Browning's firearms have always had his own characteristics of large caliber. After the change, the ammunition will not be universal.

Zhao Chuanxin is different from John Browning in that he does not have such a burden of conceit.

Just plain parabellum is fine.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Come on, let's try the gun."
