"Dear Zhu, with all due respect, I would like to ask, why do you need so many guns?"
Smith asked the question in his mind.
"Your question is really presumptuous, Smith. As long as you get the money and the amount is correct, it has nothing to do with you even if I use the gun as a fire stick, right?"
"Okay, you're right. I really shouldn't ask more questions. So is there a delivery time requirement?"
"The sooner the better, but I will inspect the gun after it arrives. Don't try to use the scrapped test gun in the laboratory to make up for it!"
Smith's face changed slightly:
"Mr. Zhu, please don't question my character as a businessman!"
"We in China have a saying that without treachery or business, all the crows in the world will be as black!"
Although Smith has been living in China all year round and speaks Chinese fluently, Zhu Chuanren can only understand the unspeakable words, and it is impossible for him to understand.
Seeing his confused look, Zhu Chuanren didn't waste any time explaining, and instead said:
"Apart from the Thompson submachine gun, can you get other weapons?"
"Of course, as long as the ugly country has it, I can get it!"
Zhu Chuanren nodded and did not say anything further. This question was for the future, so there is no rush now.
After Lao Tan confirmed that there was no problem with the goods, Zhu Chuanren handed over the money to Smith. It was all settled in U.S. dollars, as legal tender silver dollars are not recognized abroad.
"Happy cooperation, dear Zhu~"
"Haha, it's a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to meeting you again~"
"I'm looking forward to it more than you~"
After seeing Smith off, Lao Tan came over and said:
"Third Young Master, it's time to leave for the building outside the building. I have a dinner appointment with Director Kant today."
"Oh, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot. I'll change my clothes and leave~"
Outside the building, early this morning, the kitchen was in a state of intense preparation. From time to time, a waiter in shorts came in to communicate with the master chef. Even the shopkeeper Xian'er, who was rarely seen in person, occasionally came to the kitchen.
This was the first time Xu Dali and Ding San had seen such a situation, and both of them were confused.
"Brother, will something happen?" Ding San was a little worried. Where can he find such a good job?He didn't want to lose it.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Shopkeeper Xian'er was smiling when he came in just now."
"That's right, she wouldn't be able to laugh if something happened, but shopkeeper Xian'er is so pretty." Ding San looked like a pig brother.
Xu Dali elbowed him:
"Don't think too hard. Didn't you listen to what the master said? Shopkeeper Xian'er is the eldest young lady of the Zhu family and has a high status in the Zhu family."
Ding San shook his head repeatedly:
"Brother, don't worry, I won't do anything wrong. I just said she is beautiful!"
"Well, no, I have to go and find out if there is any big shot coming~" Xu Dali was very curious. If he didn't figure it out, he wouldn't be able to do his job well.
So, leaving Ding San aside, Xu Dali sneaked around to the front hall and found the guy who turned him away in the first place:
"Brother~brother?" Xu Dali called to the other party?
"Xu Dali? Why did you run ahead?"
"Ahem~ Brother, come here, let me ask you something!" Xu Dali pulled the other person behind the screen and said mysteriously.
"What's so mysterious about it?"
"Hey, I see our hotel is quite busy this morning. Is there any big shot coming?"
The guy raised his neck proudly:
"You are quite discerning. To tell you the truth, the third young master is coming to have lunch today, and with him is Kant, the director of our concession board. He is a real big shot."
A flash of light flashed in Xu Dali's eyes, and the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time just appeared.
"No wonder the kitchen is so busy."
"That's right, if the third young master treats us well, we will definitely show double enthusiasm, don't you think?" the waiter said with an old man's attitude.
"Yes, yes, brother, you are right. I have always wanted to repay the Third Young Master, but I have no chance."
"Haha, as long as you have this awareness, you don't really need to repay me with anything."
"Whatever you want, um, I have a gracious favor."
"Yo? I didn't see it. You look like you haven't read a book before, and your words are very formal. Just tell me, I'm in a good mood. If it's not difficult, it's okay to promise you."
Xu Dali looked around and made sure no one was there, then whispered:
"Can you take me to see the third young master from a distance? Just one look is enough!"
"Look at the third young master?" The waiter thought it was some kind of unreasonable request, but he didn't expect it to be this.
"Really? I'm just curious about what the legendary third young master looks like."
"Ha~ What difference can there be? They are both human beings, with one nose and two eyes."
"Brother, just promise me. As long as you promise, I'll treat you to big meat noodles tonight!"
The waiter's eyes lit up. Although there was no shortage of food when working in Louwailou, people these days don't eat enough meat:
"Then I want to add some meat!"
"No problem!" Xu Dali gritted his teeth and agreed, and he worked hard for his dream.
At noon, as the appointed time was getting closer and closer, Xu Dali was no longer interested in working and lurked early in the alley on the side of the building outside the building.
"Brother, when will the Third Young Master and the others come~" Xu Dali craned his neck and stared.
"Why are you in a hurry? You are in a hurry. You are more anxious than entering the bridal chamber!"
"Can you not be in a hurry? I have to go back to the kitchen later, and I don't dare to leave for too long."
"They are all big shots and have many things to do. How are they like us?"
Xu Dali scratched his head and was about to speak when he saw two cars approaching from a distance.
When the guy saw it, he immediately said:
"They're here!"
Zhu Chuanren's Cadillac leads the way, followed by Kant's car. Compared with Zhu Chuanren's latest dark green Cadillac, Kant's car is slightly older.
Xu Dali braced himself, his eyes never leaving the dark green car.
The gold-inlaid window frames and thick black roof are definitely representative of luxury cars in today's era.
"What a beautiful car!"
Hearing Xu Dali's sigh, the clerk chuckled and said:
"That's right, our third young master is a car lover, and this Cadillac is the first one in all of Magic and even all of China, and it's a customized model."
Xu Dali had never heard of this:
"Customized model? What do you mean?"
"It's more luxurious than the ordinary model and has more functions. I heard that the skin and glass of his car are thickened and can resist bullets to a certain extent."
Xu Dali opened his mouth in shock:
"So exaggerated?"
"Is it an exaggeration? I think it's okay. After all, our third young master has many enemies, and there are many people who want him dead."
Little did the guy know that it was precisely because of his words that he gave Xu Dali a chance to perform.
The car stopped, and Lao Tan, who was in a suit and leather tie, got out of the car first, opened the door on the side facing the building outside the building, and invited Zhu Chuanren out.
The door of Kant's car behind was opened by Xian'er herself.
"Director Kant, it's been a long time since you came to our building~"
"Ha~ Beautiful shopkeeper Xian'er, I miss you very much~"
Kant took Xian'er's hand, bowed slightly and made a gentleman's salute.
Xian'er was not surprised by this. These foreigners always used this method to take advantage of her, but they didn't dare to go too far. After all, they had to give Zhu Chuanren face.
"Then you have to come here more often in the future. Please come in quickly. The food is ready~"
Zhu Chuanren waited on the steps for a moment, and when Kant stepped forward, he was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone shouting from the alley on the right:
"Third Young Master, be careful!!!"
This sound shocked everyone except Zhu Chuanren. Because he was too afraid of death, he didn't even think about it when he heard the sound. His body instinctively squatted down, and at the same time he used his left hand to push Kant away.
The next second, everyone heard the sound of gunshots and the shattering sound of bullets drilling into the ground.
'Boom~'
Lao Tan's catalog was torn apart. If Zhu Chuanren died under his nose, the Zhu family and his brothers below would be able to chop him alive.
Of course, this was an exaggeration, and no one would take it out on him, but he himself would not forgive himself.
"Sniper!" Lao Tan's voice pierced the sky, awakening all Zhu Chuanren's brothers. Everyone immediately took out their guns and rushed to Zhu Chuanren and Kande, surrounding them.
At the same time, in a tall building diagonally opposite the building outside the building, a figure flashed across the edge of the rooftop, and Old Tan pointed angrily:
"Follow me, you'll see them alive or you'll see their bodies dead!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Chuanren squatted in the crowd, his heart burning with anger, but his expression was extremely calm.
On the other hand, Kant, who was standing aside, turned pale with fright. He kept making the sign of the cross on his chest with his hand and chanting God's blessing.
Zhu Chuanren didn't believe in God. All he could think about was who had done it to him, and he even used a sniper!
Snipers in this era are rarer than giant pandas!
His eyes were fixed on the bullet holes, and his brain was spinning rapidly.
At this time, Lao Tan separated from the crowd and asked with concern:
"Third Young Master, are you not injured?"
"No, where are the people?" Zhu Chuanren did not stand up, for fear of a second wave of snipers.
He doesn't know who his opponent is, so he might as well consider the worst outcome.
What if the opponent is powerful and hires several snipers to set up a series of traps for him?
"I've been chased. I don't know if I can catch up. The distance is a bit far~"
"How far?"
"It's about two or three hundred meters away in a straight line."
Zhu Chuanren narrowed his eyes:
"Go ahead!"
The sudden accident not only frightened Zhu Chuanren and Kant, but also frightened the customers dining in the building outside the building. This may be the first time in their lives that they are so close to the battlefield.
Under the cover of their brothers, Zhu Chuanren and Kande bent down and entered the building outside the building. At the same time, the door was closed tightly. Xian'er, under Zhu Chuanren's instructions, announced that the building outside the building was temporarily closed today and asked everyone to leave here in an orderly manner.
Those who can come to the Louwailou to eat are not ordinary people. This is an opportunity to give Zhu Chuanren timely help, and they will never let it go.
One by one, Zhu Chuanren rushed over to send greetings and concerns, but Zhu Chuanren was in no mood to deal with it at this time. After saying a few words, he quickly went upstairs, and only then did the thoughtful person who wanted to send favors leave.
In a private room with closed windows, Zhu Chuanren's face was ashen, but he could still control his emotions and said to Lao Tan:
"Go and find the person who just reminded me."
"Yes!"
Kant's face was full of fear, and he was drinking tea to calm down:
"It's terrible, Zhu, it's terrible. I feel like I'm only one step away from death."
Zhu Chuanren glanced at him and said nothing. He was not in the mood to deal with the other party now, and was still thinking about the sniper in his mind.
As we all know, sniping is a science, not just precision shooting. It also includes many elements such as shooting, camouflage, and psychological warfare.
If you're still a second-rate sniper in shooting games, it's probably because you haven't learned anything other than marksmanship.
The same is true on the real battlefield. Good marksmanship is only a necessary condition for becoming a sniper, but it is not a sufficient condition.
According to a British sniper school instructor at the first stop, the most suitable people to become snipers are poachers, followed by law-abiding hunters.
Because although they are both hunters, the latter only needs to be wary of wild beasts, while the former must also guard against forest guards.
It is this fear of exposing oneself to others, cultivated in daily work, that makes poachers the perfect reserve for snipers.
And to form a system, it takes a lot of time to accumulate.
If you think about it carefully, just as the emergence of mechanized troops will inevitably lead to blitzkrieg, machine guns will inevitably lead to barbed wire and trenches.
After the emergence of long-range projectile weapons, the emergence of sniper tactics was completely inevitable.
From this point of view, even in an era without firearms, long-range precision strikes using crossbow weapons should be called snipers, even if the word sniper did not really join the English dictionary until the 19th century.
The word sniper comes from the sport of hunting small birds. Hunters who can accurately shoot down such birds with a rifle are known as "snipers" and have become synonymous with marksmen among their peers.
However, a rifle is a weapon, and it is designed to shoot people, not birds.
Therefore, before sniping was called sniping, the military had naturally long realized the importance of excellent shooters. Sniper tactics had long left their mark on the war, and because of their special characteristics, they had changed the war more than once. direction.
Early snipers were not very popular. The ritualistic characteristics of war were restored in Europe after the Renaissance. Sniper tactics, such as hidden sneak attacks, had a bad reputation among the officer class, which was mainly composed of nobles.
Because officers are always the first to be targeted by snipers, advocating this tactic is tantamount to encouraging the other party to prioritize killing themselves.
Therefore, although sniper tactics have left a bright mark in the very early history of war, in the national military machine dominated by officers, sniper tactics have always been a special method that is rarely seen on the stage.
Even if military officers would not take the initiative to ban it, few would dare to advocate it despite the disapproval of the world.
The world's earliest record of sniping with firearms probably occurred in the English Civil War in 1643. Lord Brooke, a parliamentary general, was shot in the left eye by a royalist soldier, John Duit, while watching artillery fire, and died instantly.
The small metal ball made by soldiers, which came from a distant church roof, flew 150 yards - roughly equivalent to a distance of 137 meters - before hitting its target.
This is not worth mentioning compared with the shooting data of later generations of high-precision rifles, but in an era when people did not know what rifling was, this was a quite astonishing sniper kill.
Another story about a sniper changing the battlefield took place in a small book in the Far East.
It was the era when the Warring States Period was raging across the Amaterasu Kingdom, and the death of Takeda Shingen, one of the most powerful contenders for the throne of supremacy, was also linked to a clever sniper attack.
There are many versions of this story. According to the description in Akira Kurosawa's famous film "Shadow Warrior", Lord Shingen heard a report that someone in the enemy army played the flute every night. The military god who was very interested decided to appreciate it in person that night.
The troublesome subordinates began to prepare the honor guard during the day. This move was discovered by an enemy soldier. He took aim when the weather changed and recorded the aiming position of the iron cannon with a plumb bob. He successfully fired the cannon at night. The gun shot Takeda Shingen.
Although this shot did not kill Takeda Shingen immediately, it directly caused his health to deteriorate sharply and he exited the stage of history early.
It is unclear how far this shot hit Takeda Shingen, and the authenticity of the story itself has yet to be verified. However, if this successful sniper is indeed true, the distance should be considerable.
Although they occasionally show their power, the overall range and accuracy of firearms in this era are completely unsatisfactory, and the range is not even as good as that of bows and arrows.
At that time, there was no concept of assembly line production. Each musket was handmade by craftsmen, so the quality naturally varied.Due to the craftsmanship, the caliber regulations given by the military cannot be fully implemented, and the caliber of each gun is different.
After being issued a rifle, each soldier was given a bullet mold that matched only that rifle, and the soldiers had to make their own bullets before combat.
With such a hardware foundation, it is naturally difficult for real snipers and sniper tactics to become truly popular.
It was the advent of rifling that changed everything.
Although early rifles showed their potential, due to their high cost and short service life, most countries felt somewhat inadequate when using them to equip their standing armies, which often numbered tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. It can only be used in a small area.
The use of rifles in small-scale troops gave rise to the Chasseur tactic, which was the use of light infantry or dragoons equipped with rifles with a longer range to harass the enemy.
Although the infantrymen advancing in dense formation are mighty and majestic, they are basically unable to fight back when faced with the sneak attacks of the hunters. Sometimes they cannot even confirm where the bullets come from, and can only watch their comrades around them fall one after another. .
This tactic quickly became popular in Europe and had a great impact on traditional line infantry tactics.
The first time that sniper tactics were justified was the American Revolutionary War. The Kentucky rifles and Pennsylvania rifles equipped by the American militiamen had very long barrels.
This kind of gun has a slower reloading speed and a smaller caliber than the rifles equipped by the Red Shirts, but its range is much longer.
At that time, the British rifles had to rely on fate when shooting at a distance of 180 meters, but the Ugly rifles could still guarantee good accuracy at a distance of 270 meters.
The outcome of this war is basically known. Although it cannot be said that this is entirely the merit of the Ugly Army Rifle, this weapon is undoubtedly a natural match for the colonial people who lack regular military power.
The battlefield that shaped the prototype of contemporary sniper tactics was the Crimean Peninsula, where Mao Xiong suffered a big defeat.
The further deepening of the industrial revolution has led to leaps and bounds in the performance of light weapons. High-precision, standardized rifles and modern bullets with cartridge cases have suddenly increased the effective shooting distance of rifles to an appalling 1000 meters or more.
This fundamentally changed the face of war, and the era of snipers finally arrived.
From this period onwards, excellent snipers and interesting sniper stories began to appear in large numbers.
There is a story from the Civil War that particularly inspired sniper tactics. On May 1864, 5, Northern Army general John Sedgwick led his men to inspect the artillery formations in the rear and found that his artillery was being attacked by the enemy. The snipers were harassed until they crawled to the ground.
The general was very angry when he saw this, and shouted on horseback:
"They can't even hit an elephant at this distance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sedgwick was shot down from his horse, and a bullet from Confederate sniper Ben Pavel shot through his left eye.
Optical sights designed specifically for sniping also began to appear during this period. However, as the standard configuration of contemporary snipers, it will take some time for the sights to play their real role.
The scopes of this period were roughly the same in function as ordinary telescopes. Not only were they worrisome in accuracy, they also lacked the indication function for distance correction. The help they could provide to snipers was often limited.
Moreover, what really hindered the large-scale equipping of troops with sights during this period was not just its unsatisfactory performance, but also its relatively high cost.
The price of an excellent scope is often several times that of a rifle. During the Civil War, when there were many deserters on both sides, letting a soldier carry such a valuable asset deep behind enemy lines to act alone would easily cause a crisis of confidence for many officers. .
After entering the first station, the human war pattern finally officially completed its gorgeous transformation, and trench warfare completely replaced line infantry tactics and became the only drama on the battlefield.
Whether on the Eastern Front or the Western Front, all warring countries will spend an entire generation of young people experiencing the pain of reform.
The first to pay the price were the British. Although the British army at that time had abandoned the eye-catching red shirts, many aspects of combat training were still stuck in the previous era.
They firmly grasped the fastest infantry volley rate in the red shirt era that the British were proud of (15 aimed shots per minute), but the training of individual soldiers' shooting accuracy was not sufficient. of attention.
If the battlefield of World War I was still dominated by line infantry tactics, then the British army's training results would definitely give it a great battlefield advantage.
But having said that, if the line infantry tactics continued in World War I, then the British and French coalition forces might be able to win the victory on the Western Front within six months.
The actual result was that in the first year of World War I, the German army, which paid more attention to the individual shooting accuracy training of its soldiers, reaped the most fruits of victory in the no-man's land between trench warfare.
After the race to the sea is over, even in areas where there are no large-scale offensive and defensive operations, as many as 15 people in each battalion of the British army may die under the scope of German snipers every day.
During the Battle of Oberici in 1915, a German sniper even bored out of his mind and drew a cross with bullet holes on the low wall behind the enemy's position. The entire process did not receive any effective counterattack.
The reason why German tanks were able to have so many excellent snipers at the beginning of the war has its historical reasons, which are somewhat similar to the British longbow culture.
Since there are many forests in Germany, hunting has become a quite popular activity among the people. Excellent shooters have more opportunities to gain social prestige and other practical benefits in Germany than in the UK.
For many German boys from the countryside, their entire childhood was spent holding shotguns with their brothers and friends. Army shooting training is nothing more than giving them a proving ground to show their talents. Shooting instructor material.
As the saying goes, it is easy to achieve results only if you start from childhood, and Germany's social environment has provided the German army with a large number of young people who have been trained in design since childhood.
They were already sharpshooters before they put on military uniforms, and all Moltke had to do was turn them from hunters into warriors.
In addition to shooting technology, the excellent quality and sufficient quantity of sights produced in Germany have made German snipers even more powerful.
After the war began, the German army easily acquired thousands of hunting rifles from the private sector, which were probably better than many professional sniper rifles at the time.
15000 Mauser Type 98 rifles with high-precision scopes were also quickly produced, which allowed the German army to maintain its absolute advantage in trench sniper warfare for a long time.
Years of wars on the European continent have allowed people of all countries to develop a fine tradition, that is, if their neighbors really have something good, they will never scold and ridicule it, but will immediately catch up and copy it.
The fiasco of the trench sniper battle taught the British a painful lesson, and they also began to form their own sniper unit.
The vast colonies of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets played an important role at this time. Although hunting has become a very luxury sport in Britain, in many colonies, hunting is still the main way to provide animal protein for their kitchens. .
During the Battle of Gallipoli, which led to the dismissal of Boss Qiu, Britain's No. 1 sniper ace emerged: Asan kangaroo hunter Billy Sheen from the Kangaroo Kingdom.
With his superhuman patience and exquisite shooting skills, he killed more than 150 enemies throughout the Gallipoli campaign.
In addition to Germany, the Ugly Army, which had been watching for a long time before finally joining the battle, was also prepared for a sniper battle before entering the battlefield.
The famous Springfield sniper rifle was also able to show its power in the trenches.
However, there were still many problems with the Springfield-style rifles of the First Station era. Its hard metal sight design often caused the shooter's eyes to be bruised and bruised by the recoil, or even cut his eye sockets.
Later, many soldiers had to adapt to local conditions and install a piece of rubber on the rear end of the scope as a buffer.
After fighting with the German army for a period of time, many American soldiers also said that just like German cars, the Mauser 98 equipped by Hans is not only more user-friendly than the Springfield-style design, but the workpiece is also more refined and durable.
Generally speaking, the field of sniping has developed to this era and has achieved relatively good lethality. However, in the Far East and the Chinese mainland, sniping is still a new thing and has not become popular yet.
Of course, any army has sharpshooters, and as long as they are equipped with good weapons, they can play a sniper role.
The person who just shot at Zhu Chuanren and the others, if you think about it carefully, it seems that he is not good enough.
Of course, the other party's luck was bad enough. If a voice hadn't suddenly come out, Zhu Chuanren wouldn't have been able to react. He might have said goodbye to the world right now, either intentionally or not!
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Zhu Chuanren said come in. The next second, the door opened, and Lao Tan walked into the private room with a young man.
"Third Young Master, that's what he called Xu Dali just now. He's the handyman in the building outside our building."
Zhu Chuanren forced out a smile, his eyes full of softness, but anyone who knew him well could detect an inquiring look in his eyes.
He is skeptical in his heart but grateful emotionally. He is such a contradictory person.
"Xu Dali? How should I thank you?" Zhu Chuanren said.
Looking at Xu Dali again, this boy was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He used all his strength to bow to the end and said loudly:
"Third Young Master, I don't dare to take credit for my strength. I just want you to give me a chance to work for you and learn something useful from you. It would be even better if I can make a lot of money along the way!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this. This boy's words were quite frank.
"Dear Zhu, it seems that this little brother is your loyal believer~" Kant also recovered a lot from the shock and joked.
Zhu Chuanren smiled:
"You sit down first and we can chat casually. Where are you from?"
"Back to Third Young Master, I come from a small village below Jiancheng. I'm not worth mentioning."
"Hey~ You can't say that. You are our savior. A place where heroes are born must be a good place for outstanding people."
Xu Dali smiled sheepishly and opened his mouth to announce his village. Lao Tan caught Zhu Chuanren's eyes, nodded knowingly, and quietly exited the private room without Xu Dali noticing.
"Why do you want to come to Magic City?"
"There is a fellow in our village who works in Magic City. When he went home to visit his relatives, he talked about a lot of the benefits of Magic City. He can make a lot of money. There are many big shots here, including you, the Third Young Master!"
Zhu Chuanren suddenly realized:
"I just said that my reputation is not big enough that even Jiancheng has heard of it. It turns out that's the case."
"And you came alone?"
"Not alone. There is also a brother of mine named Ding San who is also in the building outside our building."
"Oh? Is there another brother? Xian'er, tell the guy to call someone!"
"Good~"
"Now that we have arranged the food and drinks, I have to have a good meal with Dali."
"Don't worry, the food and wine are ready and can be served at any time~"
Xian'er is also full of tenderness towards this little brother. After all, his voice has saved the backbone of Lao Zhu's family.
He couldn't even imagine what the Zhu family would be like without Zhu Chuanren.
Count on Zhu Kaishan's old bones to take the lead?Or do you expect Zhu Chuanwen to take care of the family business?
Chuanwu and Chuanjie are somewhat capable, both civil and military, but they are not pioneering talents, and their ability to defend the city is average. They can only slow down the decline of the Zhu family.
"You just said you wanted to learn from me?" Zhu Chuanren's voice changed.
"Yes! I want to see the world with the third young master!"
"Haha, it's a good idea, but you have to know that the brothers who stay with me all have their own skills! If you don't know anything, you may not be able to stand by my side just relying on the merit of saving your life.
Therefore, I would also like to advise you to think of better rewards, such as money, houses, cars, and women! "
Xu Dali shook his head repeatedly:
"Third Young Master, if you are willing, you can even stay with me as a handyman. Those things are good, but I can't keep them!"
Zhu Chuanren's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that this kid was quite smart and knew that there were some things that he could not afford but couldn't afford.
"Okay, tell me, what do you know? I'll see how I can arrange it for you!"
"I don't know anything, but I'm good at playing elementary school stuff. As long as you give me a little time, I promise to learn fast and well. Besides, I have strength. I'm not afraid of death. I dare to block the third young master at critical moments. bullet!"
Xu Dali's words once again amused everyone, especially Kant:
"Zhu, I think you should take him in. There are not many young people who are so sincere."
Zhu Chuanren smiled and nodded, noncommittal.
Continue to ask:
"Okay, I can raise you to be a bullet-blocker, but for your future, you have to learn something. Tell me, what do you want to learn most?"
This question contains a hidden test. Don’t you have a brain?See what you can analyze without much basis. This is the test.
Xu Dali has a very active mind and is always good at observing people's emotions. He can tell what Zhu Chuanren is going to do by looking at his eyes.
"Third Young Master, it all depends on your orders. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Oh?" Zhu Chuanren's eyes became brighter and brighter, and this answer was indeed more in line with his wishes.
For a boss, what qualities do you like most about your subordinates?
It’s not about how capable you are, but whether you are obedient enough.
Sometimes strong ability means big ambition and many ideas. Such people are often not liked by the boss.
You can be mediocre in ability, but as long as you are willing to obey, it is easier to gain the trust of the boss.
And Xu Dali accurately captured the boss's heart. It must be said that this boy still has some skills.
"Haha, that's right. By the way, how did you discover the danger just now? And why did you appear there?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire private room fell silent. They all knew that the previous questions were not that important. These two questions were the key. If the answer was not good, the best result would probably be to give them some money. Don't I want to have a future.
Xu Dali felt everyone's gaze and swallowed nervously:
"Third Young Master, um, I'm telling the truth, don't be angry!"
"Haha, no, just say it~"
"That's right, I have actually been trying to find an opportunity to get close to you, to show my face in front of you, to get into your sight, and to be used by you!"
"Oh? It's understandable how you feel, so what?"
"I heard that you were coming over today, so I talked to the waiter and begged him to take me to see you so that we could get to know each other first."
Speaking of this, Xu Dali lowered his head with a guilty conscience, not even daring to look at Zhu Chuanren. Perhaps in his view, this was a treasonous act.
"So that's it, so you're hiding in the alley just to see me?"
"Yes, your car happened to be parked at the door of the building outside the building. I stuck my head out to see you, and suddenly noticed a light flashing on the roof of the building opposite. The light was very unnatural.
By the way, I am good at making small glances, and I often stick up the wall to watch the village widows take a bath.
After the light flashed, I vaguely saw the appearance of the gun. Although I had never touched it, I had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running away.
It just so happened that the guy who made the trip also said that you have many enemies. I didn’t have time to think about it, so I subconsciously shouted out! "
As he narrated, everyone showed magical eyes and ambiguous smiles.
As a young man, it is understandable to peek at a widow taking a bath. This is such a normal thing!
However, the eyes trained by watching the widow take a bath ultimately saved Zhu Chuanren's life, which is indeed legendary.
If you think about this story carefully, you can publish it as a novel.
"So that's the case, then I'm really lucky. If it weren't for you, Director Kande and I would have confessed today~"
Xu Dali hurriedly said:
"I don't dare to take credit. Really, it was my subconscious reaction. I believe that even without me, you would not be harmed in any way."
"Hahaha, you are quite humble. I like you more and more~"
Xu Dali laughed innocently and scratched the back of his head. It could be seen that he was still a child who had not grown up.
It is true that he has not grown up. From the subsequent chat, Zhu Chuanren learned that the other party was only 18 years old.
Of course, he can't compare with himself, after all, he is God's fault.
If compared to his peers, Xu Dali's brain and thinking are definitely excellent.
At this time, Zhu Chuanren had already made up his mind to accept the other party, but he had not made a decision yet. Everything had to wait until Lao Tan's investigation was completed.
Next it was time to eat and drink. Xu Dali was still thinking about brotherhood, so he made sure to pick up some food for Ding San who was coming later.
The two of them couldn't let go at first. After Zhu Chuanren said a few words, they opened their cheeks and started eating!
While eating, I praised the food at Louwailou for being delicious.
Near the end, Lao Tan came back and quietly nodded to Zhu Chuanren, indicating that there was no problem with this person's identity.
Zhu Chuanren was relieved, put down his chopsticks and said:
"Dali, and Ding San, since you are determined to follow me, let me give you a chance to go back and think about what kind of skills you should learn!
I’ll give you a month to learn and understand, and then follow me. If you don’t understand, don’t blame me. I don’t leave waste around me!
Of course, I will not ignore my love for saving my life. When the time comes, if you want money or things, just ask, I promise to satisfy you! "
As soon as Zhu Chuanren said this, Xu Dali was ecstatic, slapped Ding San who was immersed in eating, and shouted excitedly:
"Yes! Thank you Third Young Master for taking me in. We promise not to disappoint you. Even if we risk our lives, we must learn to understand!"
Zhu Chuanren smiled and waved his hands:
"Don't say this again in the future. When you have been with me for a long time, you will know what kind of person I am. Save your own life. Only when you are alive can you do more things for me and make more money. If you die, If it’s gone, then there’s nothing left!”
(End of this chapter)
"Dear Zhu, with all due respect, I would like to ask, why do you need so many guns?"
Smith asked the question in his mind.
"Your question is really presumptuous, Smith. As long as you get the money and the amount is correct, it has nothing to do with you even if I use the gun as a fire stick, right?"
"Okay, you're right. I really shouldn't ask more questions. So is there a delivery time requirement?"
"The sooner the better, but I will inspect the gun after it arrives. Don't try to use the scrapped test gun in the laboratory to make up for it!"
Smith's face changed slightly:
"Mr. Zhu, please don't question my character as a businessman!"
"We in China have a saying that without treachery or business, all the crows in the world will be as black!"
Although Smith has been living in China all year round and speaks Chinese fluently, Zhu Chuanren can only understand the unspeakable words, and it is impossible for him to understand.
Seeing his confused look, Zhu Chuanren didn't waste any time explaining, and instead said:
"Apart from the Thompson submachine gun, can you get other weapons?"
"Of course, as long as the ugly country has it, I can get it!"
Zhu Chuanren nodded and did not say anything further. This question was for the future, so there is no rush now.
After Lao Tan confirmed that there was no problem with the goods, Zhu Chuanren handed over the money to Smith. It was all settled in U.S. dollars, as legal tender silver dollars are not recognized abroad.
"Happy cooperation, dear Zhu~"
"Haha, it's a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to meeting you again~"
"I'm looking forward to it more than you~"
After seeing Smith off, Lao Tan came over and said:
"Third Young Master, it's time to leave for the building outside the building. I have a dinner appointment with Director Kant today."
"Oh, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot. I'll change my clothes and leave~"
Outside the building, early this morning, the kitchen was in a state of intense preparation. From time to time, a waiter in shorts came in to communicate with the master chef. Even the shopkeeper Xian'er, who was rarely seen in person, occasionally came to the kitchen.
This was the first time Xu Dali and Ding San had seen such a situation, and both of them were confused.
"Brother, will something happen?" Ding San was a little worried. Where can he find such a good job?He didn't want to lose it.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Shopkeeper Xian'er was smiling when he came in just now."
"That's right, she wouldn't be able to laugh if something happened, but shopkeeper Xian'er is so pretty." Ding San looked like a pig brother.
Xu Dali elbowed him:
"Don't think too hard. Didn't you listen to what the master said? Shopkeeper Xian'er is the eldest young lady of the Zhu family and has a high status in the Zhu family."
Ding San shook his head repeatedly:
"Brother, don't worry, I won't do anything wrong. I just said she is beautiful!"
"Well, no, I have to go and find out if there is any big shot coming~" Xu Dali was very curious. If he didn't figure it out, he wouldn't be able to do his job well.
So, leaving Ding San aside, Xu Dali sneaked around to the front hall and found the guy who turned him away in the first place:
"Brother~brother?" Xu Dali called to the other party?
"Xu Dali? Why did you run ahead?"
"Ahem~ Brother, come here, let me ask you something!" Xu Dali pulled the other person behind the screen and said mysteriously.
"What's so mysterious about it?"
"Hey, I see our hotel is quite busy this morning. Is there any big shot coming?"
The guy raised his neck proudly:
"You are quite discerning. To tell you the truth, the third young master is coming to have lunch today, and with him is Kant, the director of our concession board. He is a real big shot."
A flash of light flashed in Xu Dali's eyes, and the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time just appeared.
"No wonder the kitchen is so busy."
"That's right, if the third young master treats us well, we will definitely show double enthusiasm, don't you think?" the waiter said with an old man's attitude.
"Yes, yes, brother, you are right. I have always wanted to repay the Third Young Master, but I have no chance."
"Haha, as long as you have this awareness, you don't really need to repay me with anything."
"Whatever you want, um, I have a gracious favor."
"Yo? I didn't see it. You look like you haven't read a book before, and your words are very formal. Just tell me, I'm in a good mood. If it's not difficult, it's okay to promise you."
Xu Dali looked around and made sure no one was there, then whispered:
"Can you take me to see the third young master from a distance? Just one look is enough!"
"Look at the third young master?" The waiter thought it was some kind of unreasonable request, but he didn't expect it to be this.
"Really? I'm just curious about what the legendary third young master looks like."
"Ha~ What difference can there be? They are both human beings, with one nose and two eyes."
"Brother, just promise me. As long as you promise, I'll treat you to big meat noodles tonight!"
The waiter's eyes lit up. Although there was no shortage of food when working in Louwailou, people these days don't eat enough meat:
"Then I want to add some meat!"
"No problem!" Xu Dali gritted his teeth and agreed, and he worked hard for his dream.
At noon, as the appointed time was getting closer and closer, Xu Dali was no longer interested in working and lurked early in the alley on the side of the building outside the building.
"Brother, when will the Third Young Master and the others come~" Xu Dali craned his neck and stared.
"Why are you in a hurry? You are in a hurry. You are more anxious than entering the bridal chamber!"
"Can you not be in a hurry? I have to go back to the kitchen later, and I don't dare to leave for too long."
"They are all big shots and have many things to do. How are they like us?"
Xu Dali scratched his head and was about to speak when he saw two cars approaching from a distance.
When the guy saw it, he immediately said:
"They're here!"
Zhu Chuanren's Cadillac leads the way, followed by Kant's car. Compared with Zhu Chuanren's latest dark green Cadillac, Kant's car is slightly older.
Xu Dali braced himself, his eyes never leaving the dark green car.
The gold-inlaid window frames and thick black roof are definitely representative of luxury cars in today's era.
"What a beautiful car!"
Hearing Xu Dali's sigh, the clerk chuckled and said:
"That's right, our third young master is a car lover, and this Cadillac is the first one in all of Magic and even all of China, and it's a customized model."
Xu Dali had never heard of this:
"Customized model? What do you mean?"
"It's more luxurious than the ordinary model and has more functions. I heard that the skin and glass of his car are thickened and can resist bullets to a certain extent."
Xu Dali opened his mouth in shock:
"So exaggerated?"
"Is it an exaggeration? I think it's okay. After all, our third young master has many enemies, and there are many people who want him dead."
Little did the guy know that it was precisely because of his words that he gave Xu Dali a chance to perform.
The car stopped, and Lao Tan, who was in a suit and leather tie, got out of the car first, opened the door on the side facing the building outside the building, and invited Zhu Chuanren out.
The door of Kant's car behind was opened by Xian'er herself.
"Director Kant, it's been a long time since you came to our building~"
"Ha~ Beautiful shopkeeper Xian'er, I miss you very much~"
Kant took Xian'er's hand, bowed slightly and made a gentleman's salute.
Xian'er was not surprised by this. These foreigners always used this method to take advantage of her, but they didn't dare to go too far. After all, they had to give Zhu Chuanren face.
"Then you have to come here more often in the future. Please come in quickly. The food is ready~"
Zhu Chuanren waited on the steps for a moment, and when Kant stepped forward, he was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone shouting from the alley on the right:
"Third Young Master, be careful!!!"
This sound shocked everyone except Zhu Chuanren. Because he was too afraid of death, he didn't even think about it when he heard the sound. His body instinctively squatted down, and at the same time he used his left hand to push Kant away.
The next second, everyone heard the sound of gunshots and the shattering sound of bullets drilling into the ground.
'Boom~'
Lao Tan's catalog was torn apart. If Zhu Chuanren died under his nose, the Zhu family and his brothers below would be able to chop him alive.
Of course, this was an exaggeration, and no one would take it out on him, but he himself would not forgive himself.
"Sniper!" Lao Tan's voice pierced the sky, awakening all Zhu Chuanren's brothers. Everyone immediately took out their guns and rushed to Zhu Chuanren and Kande, surrounding them.
At the same time, in a tall building diagonally opposite the building outside the building, a figure flashed across the edge of the rooftop, and Old Tan pointed angrily:
"Follow me, you'll see them alive or you'll see their bodies dead!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Chuanren squatted in the crowd, his heart burning with anger, but his expression was extremely calm.
On the other hand, Kant, who was standing aside, turned pale with fright. He kept making the sign of the cross on his chest with his hand and chanting God's blessing.
Zhu Chuanren didn't believe in God. All he could think about was who had done it to him, and he even used a sniper!
Snipers in this era are rarer than giant pandas!
His eyes were fixed on the bullet holes, and his brain was spinning rapidly.
At this time, Lao Tan separated from the crowd and asked with concern:
"Third Young Master, are you not injured?"
"No, where are the people?" Zhu Chuanren did not stand up, for fear of a second wave of snipers.
He doesn't know who his opponent is, so he might as well consider the worst outcome.
What if the opponent is powerful and hires several snipers to set up a series of traps for him?
"I've been chased. I don't know if I can catch up. The distance is a bit far~"
"How far?"
"It's about two or three hundred meters away in a straight line."
Zhu Chuanren narrowed his eyes:
"Go ahead!"
The sudden accident not only frightened Zhu Chuanren and Kant, but also frightened the customers dining in the building outside the building. This may be the first time in their lives that they are so close to the battlefield.
Under the cover of their brothers, Zhu Chuanren and Kande bent down and entered the building outside the building. At the same time, the door was closed tightly. Xian'er, under Zhu Chuanren's instructions, announced that the building outside the building was temporarily closed today and asked everyone to leave here in an orderly manner.
Those who can come to the Louwailou to eat are not ordinary people. This is an opportunity to give Zhu Chuanren timely help, and they will never let it go.
One by one, Zhu Chuanren rushed over to send greetings and concerns, but Zhu Chuanren was in no mood to deal with it at this time. After saying a few words, he quickly went upstairs, and only then did the thoughtful person who wanted to send favors leave.
In a private room with closed windows, Zhu Chuanren's face was ashen, but he could still control his emotions and said to Lao Tan:
"Go and find the person who just reminded me."
"Yes!"
Kant's face was full of fear, and he was drinking tea to calm down:
"It's terrible, Zhu, it's terrible. I feel like I'm only one step away from death."
Zhu Chuanren glanced at him and said nothing. He was not in the mood to deal with the other party now, and was still thinking about the sniper in his mind.
As we all know, sniping is a science, not just precision shooting. It also includes many elements such as shooting, camouflage, and psychological warfare.
If you're still a second-rate sniper in shooting games, it's probably because you haven't learned anything other than marksmanship.
The same is true on the real battlefield. Good marksmanship is only a necessary condition for becoming a sniper, but it is not a sufficient condition.
According to a British sniper school instructor at the first stop, the most suitable people to become snipers are poachers, followed by law-abiding hunters.
Because although they are both hunters, the latter only needs to be wary of wild beasts, while the former must also guard against forest guards.
It is this fear of exposing oneself to others, cultivated in daily work, that makes poachers the perfect reserve for snipers.
And to form a system, it takes a lot of time to accumulate.
If you think about it carefully, just as the emergence of mechanized troops will inevitably lead to blitzkrieg, machine guns will inevitably lead to barbed wire and trenches.
After the emergence of long-range projectile weapons, the emergence of sniper tactics was completely inevitable.
From this point of view, even in an era without firearms, long-range precision strikes using crossbow weapons should be called snipers, even if the word sniper did not really join the English dictionary until the 19th century.
The word sniper comes from the sport of hunting small birds. Hunters who can accurately shoot down such birds with a rifle are known as "snipers" and have become synonymous with marksmen among their peers.
However, a rifle is a weapon, and it is designed to shoot people, not birds.
Therefore, before sniping was called sniping, the military had naturally long realized the importance of excellent shooters. Sniper tactics had long left their mark on the war, and because of their special characteristics, they had changed the war more than once. direction.
Early snipers were not very popular. The ritualistic characteristics of war were restored in Europe after the Renaissance. Sniper tactics, such as hidden sneak attacks, had a bad reputation among the officer class, which was mainly composed of nobles.
Because officers are always the first to be targeted by snipers, advocating this tactic is tantamount to encouraging the other party to prioritize killing themselves.
Therefore, although sniper tactics have left a bright mark in the very early history of war, in the national military machine dominated by officers, sniper tactics have always been a special method that is rarely seen on the stage.
Even if military officers would not take the initiative to ban it, few would dare to advocate it despite the disapproval of the world.
The world's earliest record of sniping with firearms probably occurred in the English Civil War in 1643. Lord Brooke, a parliamentary general, was shot in the left eye by a royalist soldier, John Duit, while watching artillery fire, and died instantly.
The small metal ball made by soldiers, which came from a distant church roof, flew 150 yards - roughly equivalent to a distance of 137 meters - before hitting its target.
This is not worth mentioning compared with the shooting data of later generations of high-precision rifles, but in an era when people did not know what rifling was, this was a quite astonishing sniper kill.
Another story about a sniper changing the battlefield took place in a small book in the Far East.
It was the era when the Warring States Period was raging across the Amaterasu Kingdom, and the death of Takeda Shingen, one of the most powerful contenders for the throne of supremacy, was also linked to a clever sniper attack.
There are many versions of this story. According to the description in Akira Kurosawa's famous film "Shadow Warrior", Lord Shingen heard a report that someone in the enemy army played the flute every night. The military god who was very interested decided to appreciate it in person that night.
The troublesome subordinates began to prepare the honor guard during the day. This move was discovered by an enemy soldier. He took aim when the weather changed and recorded the aiming position of the iron cannon with a plumb bob. He successfully fired the cannon at night. The gun shot Takeda Shingen.
Although this shot did not kill Takeda Shingen immediately, it directly caused his health to deteriorate sharply and he exited the stage of history early.
It is unclear how far this shot hit Takeda Shingen, and the authenticity of the story itself has yet to be verified. However, if this successful sniper is indeed true, the distance should be considerable.
Although they occasionally show their power, the overall range and accuracy of firearms in this era are completely unsatisfactory, and the range is not even as good as that of bows and arrows.
At that time, there was no concept of assembly line production. Each musket was handmade by craftsmen, so the quality naturally varied.Due to the craftsmanship, the caliber regulations given by the military cannot be fully implemented, and the caliber of each gun is different.
After being issued a rifle, each soldier was given a bullet mold that matched only that rifle, and the soldiers had to make their own bullets before combat.
With such a hardware foundation, it is naturally difficult for real snipers and sniper tactics to become truly popular.
It was the advent of rifling that changed everything.
Although early rifles showed their potential, due to their high cost and short service life, most countries felt somewhat inadequate when using them to equip their standing armies, which often numbered tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. It can only be used in a small area.
The use of rifles in small-scale troops gave rise to the Chasseur tactic, which was the use of light infantry or dragoons equipped with rifles with a longer range to harass the enemy.
Although the infantrymen advancing in dense formation are mighty and majestic, they are basically unable to fight back when faced with the sneak attacks of the hunters. Sometimes they cannot even confirm where the bullets come from, and can only watch their comrades around them fall one after another. .
This tactic quickly became popular in Europe and had a great impact on traditional line infantry tactics.
The first time that sniper tactics were justified was the American Revolutionary War. The Kentucky rifles and Pennsylvania rifles equipped by the American militiamen had very long barrels.
This kind of gun has a slower reloading speed and a smaller caliber than the rifles equipped by the Red Shirts, but its range is much longer.
At that time, the British rifles had to rely on fate when shooting at a distance of 180 meters, but the Ugly rifles could still guarantee good accuracy at a distance of 270 meters.
The outcome of this war is basically known. Although it cannot be said that this is entirely the merit of the Ugly Army Rifle, this weapon is undoubtedly a natural match for the colonial people who lack regular military power.
The battlefield that shaped the prototype of contemporary sniper tactics was the Crimean Peninsula, where Mao Xiong suffered a big defeat.
The further deepening of the industrial revolution has led to leaps and bounds in the performance of light weapons. High-precision, standardized rifles and modern bullets with cartridge cases have suddenly increased the effective shooting distance of rifles to an appalling 1000 meters or more.
This fundamentally changed the face of war, and the era of snipers finally arrived.
From this period onwards, excellent snipers and interesting sniper stories began to appear in large numbers.
There is a story from the Civil War that particularly inspired sniper tactics. On May 1864, 5, Northern Army general John Sedgwick led his men to inspect the artillery formations in the rear and found that his artillery was being attacked by the enemy. The snipers were harassed until they crawled to the ground.
The general was very angry when he saw this, and shouted on horseback:
"They can't even hit an elephant at this distance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sedgwick was shot down from his horse, and a bullet from Confederate sniper Ben Pavel shot through his left eye.
Optical sights designed specifically for sniping also began to appear during this period. However, as the standard configuration of contemporary snipers, it will take some time for the sights to play their real role.
The scopes of this period were roughly the same in function as ordinary telescopes. Not only were they worrisome in accuracy, they also lacked the indication function for distance correction. The help they could provide to snipers was often limited.
Moreover, what really hindered the large-scale equipping of troops with sights during this period was not just its unsatisfactory performance, but also its relatively high cost.
The price of an excellent scope is often several times that of a rifle. During the Civil War, when there were many deserters on both sides, letting a soldier carry such a valuable asset deep behind enemy lines to act alone would easily cause a crisis of confidence for many officers. .
After entering the first station, the human war pattern finally officially completed its gorgeous transformation, and trench warfare completely replaced line infantry tactics and became the only drama on the battlefield.
Whether on the Eastern Front or the Western Front, all warring countries will spend an entire generation of young people experiencing the pain of reform.
The first to pay the price were the British. Although the British army at that time had abandoned the eye-catching red shirts, many aspects of combat training were still stuck in the previous era.
They firmly grasped the fastest infantry volley rate in the red shirt era that the British were proud of (15 aimed shots per minute), but the training of individual soldiers' shooting accuracy was not sufficient. of attention.
If the battlefield of World War I was still dominated by line infantry tactics, then the British army's training results would definitely give it a great battlefield advantage.
But having said that, if the line infantry tactics continued in World War I, then the British and French coalition forces might be able to win the victory on the Western Front within six months.
The actual result was that in the first year of World War I, the German army, which paid more attention to the individual shooting accuracy training of its soldiers, reaped the most fruits of victory in the no-man's land between trench warfare.
After the race to the sea is over, even in areas where there are no large-scale offensive and defensive operations, as many as 15 people in each battalion of the British army may die under the scope of German snipers every day.
During the Battle of Oberici in 1915, a German sniper even bored out of his mind and drew a cross with bullet holes on the low wall behind the enemy's position. The entire process did not receive any effective counterattack.
The reason why German tanks were able to have so many excellent snipers at the beginning of the war has its historical reasons, which are somewhat similar to the British longbow culture.
Since there are many forests in Germany, hunting has become a quite popular activity among the people. Excellent shooters have more opportunities to gain social prestige and other practical benefits in Germany than in the UK.
For many German boys from the countryside, their entire childhood was spent holding shotguns with their brothers and friends. Army shooting training is nothing more than giving them a proving ground to show their talents. Shooting instructor material.
As the saying goes, it is easy to achieve results only if you start from childhood, and Germany's social environment has provided the German army with a large number of young people who have been trained in design since childhood.
They were already sharpshooters before they put on military uniforms, and all Moltke had to do was turn them from hunters into warriors.
In addition to shooting technology, the excellent quality and sufficient quantity of sights produced in Germany have made German snipers even more powerful.
After the war began, the German army easily acquired thousands of hunting rifles from the private sector, which were probably better than many professional sniper rifles at the time.
15000 Mauser Type 98 rifles with high-precision scopes were also quickly produced, which allowed the German army to maintain its absolute advantage in trench sniper warfare for a long time.
Years of wars on the European continent have allowed people of all countries to develop a fine tradition, that is, if their neighbors really have something good, they will never scold and ridicule it, but will immediately catch up and copy it.
The fiasco of the trench sniper battle taught the British a painful lesson, and they also began to form their own sniper unit.
The vast colonies of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets played an important role at this time. Although hunting has become a very luxury sport in Britain, in many colonies, hunting is still the main way to provide animal protein for their kitchens. .
During the Battle of Gallipoli, which led to the dismissal of Boss Qiu, Britain's No. 1 sniper ace emerged: Asan kangaroo hunter Billy Sheen from the Kangaroo Kingdom.
With his superhuman patience and exquisite shooting skills, he killed more than 150 enemies throughout the Gallipoli campaign.
In addition to Germany, the Ugly Army, which had been watching for a long time before finally joining the battle, was also prepared for a sniper battle before entering the battlefield.
The famous Springfield sniper rifle was also able to show its power in the trenches.
However, there were still many problems with the Springfield-style rifles of the First Station era. Its hard metal sight design often caused the shooter's eyes to be bruised and bruised by the recoil, or even cut his eye sockets.
Later, many soldiers had to adapt to local conditions and install a piece of rubber on the rear end of the scope as a buffer.
After fighting with the German army for a period of time, many American soldiers also said that just like German cars, the Mauser 98 equipped by Hans is not only more user-friendly than the Springfield-style design, but the workpiece is also more refined and durable.
Generally speaking, the field of sniping has developed to this era and has achieved relatively good lethality. However, in the Far East and the Chinese mainland, sniping is still a new thing and has not become popular yet.
Of course, any army has sharpshooters, and as long as they are equipped with good weapons, they can play a sniper role.
The person who just shot at Zhu Chuanren and the others, if you think about it carefully, it seems that he is not good enough.
Of course, the other party's luck was bad enough. If a voice hadn't suddenly come out, Zhu Chuanren wouldn't have been able to react. He might have said goodbye to the world right now, either intentionally or not!
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Zhu Chuanren said come in. The next second, the door opened, and Lao Tan walked into the private room with a young man.
"Third Young Master, that's what he called Xu Dali just now. He's the handyman in the building outside our building."
Zhu Chuanren forced out a smile, his eyes full of softness, but anyone who knew him well could detect an inquiring look in his eyes.
He is skeptical in his heart but grateful emotionally. He is such a contradictory person.
"Xu Dali? How should I thank you?" Zhu Chuanren said.
Looking at Xu Dali again, this boy was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He used all his strength to bow to the end and said loudly:
"Third Young Master, I don't dare to take credit for my strength. I just want you to give me a chance to work for you and learn something useful from you. It would be even better if I can make a lot of money along the way!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this. This boy's words were quite frank.
"Dear Zhu, it seems that this little brother is your loyal believer~" Kant also recovered a lot from the shock and joked.
Zhu Chuanren smiled:
"You sit down first and we can chat casually. Where are you from?"
"Back to Third Young Master, I come from a small village below Jiancheng. I'm not worth mentioning."
"Hey~ You can't say that. You are our savior. A place where heroes are born must be a good place for outstanding people."
Xu Dali smiled sheepishly and opened his mouth to announce his village. Lao Tan caught Zhu Chuanren's eyes, nodded knowingly, and quietly exited the private room without Xu Dali noticing.
"Why do you want to come to Magic City?"
"There is a fellow in our village who works in Magic City. When he went home to visit his relatives, he talked about a lot of the benefits of Magic City. He can make a lot of money. There are many big shots here, including you, the Third Young Master!"
Zhu Chuanren suddenly realized:
"I just said that my reputation is not big enough that even Jiancheng has heard of it. It turns out that's the case."
"And you came alone?"
"Not alone. There is also a brother of mine named Ding San who is also in the building outside our building."
"Oh? Is there another brother? Xian'er, tell the guy to call someone!"
"Good~"
"Now that we have arranged the food and drinks, I have to have a good meal with Dali."
"Don't worry, the food and wine are ready and can be served at any time~"
Xian'er is also full of tenderness towards this little brother. After all, his voice has saved the backbone of Lao Zhu's family.
He couldn't even imagine what the Zhu family would be like without Zhu Chuanren.
Count on Zhu Kaishan's old bones to take the lead?Or do you expect Zhu Chuanwen to take care of the family business?
Chuanwu and Chuanjie are somewhat capable, both civil and military, but they are not pioneering talents, and their ability to defend the city is average. They can only slow down the decline of the Zhu family.
"You just said you wanted to learn from me?" Zhu Chuanren's voice changed.
"Yes! I want to see the world with the third young master!"
"Haha, it's a good idea, but you have to know that the brothers who stay with me all have their own skills! If you don't know anything, you may not be able to stand by my side just relying on the merit of saving your life.
Therefore, I would also like to advise you to think of better rewards, such as money, houses, cars, and women! "
Xu Dali shook his head repeatedly:
"Third Young Master, if you are willing, you can even stay with me as a handyman. Those things are good, but I can't keep them!"
Zhu Chuanren's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that this kid was quite smart and knew that there were some things that he could not afford but couldn't afford.
"Okay, tell me, what do you know? I'll see how I can arrange it for you!"
"I don't know anything, but I'm good at playing elementary school stuff. As long as you give me a little time, I promise to learn fast and well. Besides, I have strength. I'm not afraid of death. I dare to block the third young master at critical moments. bullet!"
Xu Dali's words once again amused everyone, especially Kant:
"Zhu, I think you should take him in. There are not many young people who are so sincere."
Zhu Chuanren smiled and nodded, noncommittal.
Continue to ask:
"Okay, I can raise you to be a bullet-blocker, but for your future, you have to learn something. Tell me, what do you want to learn most?"
This question contains a hidden test. Don’t you have a brain?See what you can analyze without much basis. This is the test.
Xu Dali has a very active mind and is always good at observing people's emotions. He can tell what Zhu Chuanren is going to do by looking at his eyes.
"Third Young Master, it all depends on your orders. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Oh?" Zhu Chuanren's eyes became brighter and brighter, and this answer was indeed more in line with his wishes.
For a boss, what qualities do you like most about your subordinates?
It’s not about how capable you are, but whether you are obedient enough.
Sometimes strong ability means big ambition and many ideas. Such people are often not liked by the boss.
You can be mediocre in ability, but as long as you are willing to obey, it is easier to gain the trust of the boss.
And Xu Dali accurately captured the boss's heart. It must be said that this boy still has some skills.
"Haha, that's right. By the way, how did you discover the danger just now? And why did you appear there?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire private room fell silent. They all knew that the previous questions were not that important. These two questions were the key. If the answer was not good, the best result would probably be to give them some money. Don't I want to have a future.
Xu Dali felt everyone's gaze and swallowed nervously:
"Third Young Master, um, I'm telling the truth, don't be angry!"
"Haha, no, just say it~"
"That's right, I have actually been trying to find an opportunity to get close to you, to show my face in front of you, to get into your sight, and to be used by you!"
"Oh? It's understandable how you feel, so what?"
"I heard that you were coming over today, so I talked to the waiter and begged him to take me to see you so that we could get to know each other first."
Speaking of this, Xu Dali lowered his head with a guilty conscience, not even daring to look at Zhu Chuanren. Perhaps in his view, this was a treasonous act.
"So that's it, so you're hiding in the alley just to see me?"
"Yes, your car happened to be parked at the door of the building outside the building. I stuck my head out to see you, and suddenly noticed a light flashing on the roof of the building opposite. The light was very unnatural.
By the way, I am good at making small glances, and I often stick up the wall to watch the village widows take a bath.
After the light flashed, I vaguely saw the appearance of the gun. Although I had never touched it, I had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running away.
It just so happened that the guy who made the trip also said that you have many enemies. I didn’t have time to think about it, so I subconsciously shouted out! "
As he narrated, everyone showed magical eyes and ambiguous smiles.
As a young man, it is understandable to peek at a widow taking a bath. This is such a normal thing!
However, the eyes trained by watching the widow take a bath ultimately saved Zhu Chuanren's life, which is indeed legendary.
If you think about this story carefully, you can publish it as a novel.
"So that's the case, then I'm really lucky. If it weren't for you, Director Kande and I would have confessed today~"
Xu Dali hurriedly said:
"I don't dare to take credit. Really, it was my subconscious reaction. I believe that even without me, you would not be harmed in any way."
"Hahaha, you are quite humble. I like you more and more~"
Xu Dali laughed innocently and scratched the back of his head. It could be seen that he was still a child who had not grown up.
It is true that he has not grown up. From the subsequent chat, Zhu Chuanren learned that the other party was only 18 years old.
Of course, he can't compare with himself, after all, he is God's fault.
If compared to his peers, Xu Dali's brain and thinking are definitely excellent.
At this time, Zhu Chuanren had already made up his mind to accept the other party, but he had not made a decision yet. Everything had to wait until Lao Tan's investigation was completed.
Next it was time to eat and drink. Xu Dali was still thinking about brotherhood, so he made sure to pick up some food for Ding San who was coming later.
The two of them couldn't let go at first. After Zhu Chuanren said a few words, they opened their cheeks and started eating!
While eating, I praised the food at Louwailou for being delicious.
Near the end, Lao Tan came back and quietly nodded to Zhu Chuanren, indicating that there was no problem with this person's identity.
Zhu Chuanren was relieved, put down his chopsticks and said:
"Dali, and Ding San, since you are determined to follow me, let me give you a chance to go back and think about what kind of skills you should learn!
I’ll give you a month to learn and understand, and then follow me. If you don’t understand, don’t blame me. I don’t leave waste around me!
Of course, I will not ignore my love for saving my life. When the time comes, if you want money or things, just ask, I promise to satisfy you! "
As soon as Zhu Chuanren said this, Xu Dali was ecstatic, slapped Ding San who was immersed in eating, and shouted excitedly:
"Yes! Thank you Third Young Master for taking me in. We promise not to disappoint you. Even if we risk our lives, we must learn to understand!"
Zhu Chuanren smiled and waved his hands:
"Don't say this again in the future. When you have been with me for a long time, you will know what kind of person I am. Save your own life. Only when you are alive can you do more things for me and make more money. If you die, If it’s gone, then there’s nothing left!”
