The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Two infantry companies of the German First Reserve Army were equipped with Hope M1910s. When fighting against the French army, they felt extremely smooth.

Only twenty meters apart, about ten soldiers from Germany and France were shooting at each other.

The distance of twenty meters is even more stressful. Missing a shot is common, and not everyone is a sharpshooter.

At this time, the speed of shooting is a matter of life.

Bang bang bang bang...

The numbers were evenly matched. The French army fired and then hurriedly pulled the bolt. The German army fired several shots. The French soldiers on the opposite side stared wide-eyed before they died. They couldn't figure out how the other side fired consecutively.

At another German firepower point, there was an oak tree blown down by artillery shells outside the trench.

23 French soldiers used fallen oak branches and leaves to cover their bodies and quietly approached.

Five German soldiers here are repairing the top of the bunker, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the next round of artillery bombardment.

When the French army opened fire behind the oak tree, they were still bent over and busy working against the clock.

A German soldier was shot in the back and died on the spot.

The remaining four people could not distinguish the source of the gunfire, so they cleverly rolled into the trench, and the falling soil slapped their faces.

"Where, where is the enemy..."

"Of course it's over the oak tree, is it behind our position?"

The remaining four people picked up the Hope M1910. Knowing that they could not sit still and wait for death, they stuck their heads out and started to fight back.

4 vs. 23, they all pulled a bolt and fired a shot. The French soldiers believed that the German soldiers had no chance of winning, so they boldly jumped out from behind the oak tree and charged.

As long as we capture the position here, the battle line can be pushed forward one step further.

The Battle of the Aisne is also nicknamed the Battle of the Circle to the Coast.

The Allied Powers want to go around to the right wing of the German army, and the German army wants to go around to the left wing of the Allied Powers. You come and go in circles. At present, they are all small-scale battles, like this time.

According to previous training, the German soldiers pulled the charging handle, ejected the muzzle of the gun and started to fire back.

After hitting 1 out of 4 shots, the French soldiers ignored the wounded and continued to charge.

Immediately, they were confused.

Bang bang bang bang...

The gunfire continued.

I blanch?

Bang bang bang...

22 people, 20 people, 18 people, 17 people...

The French army's scalp was numb and their hearts were filled with fear.

This is not scientific!

Have you ever seen a semi-automatic rifle?

Bang bang bang...

13 people.

Bang bang bang bang...

9 people.

The nine people didn't know who was taking the lead, so they turned around and ran away.

The bullets from the opposite side are continuous and seem to last forever.

The 6th round has been fired.

They didn't know that as long as they rushed forward, they would be able to fight hand-to-hand with the Germans.

Because the German soldiers hope that there are only 2 bullets left in the M1910 magazine.

But the French soldiers didn't dare to gamble, they were too evil.

Bang bang bang...

7 people.

The seven people hid behind the oak tree and fled with their lives under the cover of the oak tree.

The four Germans jumped out of the trench, fired twice more, and hurriedly changed their magazines.

The ammunition Zhao Chuanxin brought was packed in the magazine, so there was no need to bother loading it in one by one.

"Come on, come on, let's hurt each other..."

"Why run..."

The four people did not dare to pursue him. They swore a few words and looked at the shot comrade. After realizing that he was out of breath, they dragged the body aside and continued to repair the trench.

If you don't repair it, you won't be able to do it. If you don't repair it, if a cannonball comes and you can't block the shrapnel, you will almost die.

Zhao Chuanxin was at Nuldenburg, cooking for Zhao Lingjun, Wilhelmina and Margot, when he received a reply from Otto.

There was a copper eye next to the wireless telegraph machine, so Xingyue directly converted it into words for him on the glasses: The gun is very good.

The gun was nice, but Otto couldn't decide whether to buy it.

He can only react to his superiors and report to the higher levels.

On September 18, Kaiser Wilhelm II sent a telegram to Zhao Chuanxin: If you can deliver 1,500 Hope M1910s and 60,000 rounds of ammunition to the designated location, I will pay you the second payment.

Zhao Chuanxin turned over the beef skewers and whispered to Xingyue: "Ask him about the location, time and contact person."

In addition to ultra-long-distance transmission and reception, Zhao Chuanxin's big brother wireless telegraph machine is also equipped with a central control rune fragment and a worm silk power system. Xingyue can complete transmission and reception independently.

After saying this, Xingyue sent the telegram.

Zhao Chuanxin flipped three handfuls of beef skewers skillfully, sprinkled some seasonings on them, flipped them twice more, then took out a porcelain plate and put them inside: "It's ready to serve."

Zhao Lingjun sipped his saliva, chuckled, and stretched out his chubby hand. If she caught him, there wouldn't be many beef skewers left out of the thirty.

Wilhelmina slapped her chubby hand hard: "What did I tell you before?"

Zhao Lingjun had no choice but to narrow the range of his open fingers, and finally only held 10 skewers in his hand.

"Oops, Xiang is confused!"

After grilling the beef skewers, Zhao Chuanxin fried noodles for the three of them.

After eating, Zhao Chuanxin picked up his coat and said, "I have to go out."

Wilhelmina stopped him: "Ethan, if you put a fighter jet in The Hague, will the war spread to the Netherlands?"

"Don't worry about this. Who knows which will come first, tomorrow or the accident?"

Zhao Chuanxin thought to himself: If the Netherlands were to perish, it would be a good time to move his family back to China.

Of course I'm just thinking about it.

Wilhelmina raised her brows and became angry. Just as she was about to say something, Zhao Chuanxin had already jumped out of the window and left.

At this time, the German army and the Allies had circled to the edge of the North Sea.

Both sides breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, which was the perfect time to resupply.

Although it was hoped that the M1910 would make some achievements, its actual combat effectiveness was still open to question, so William II and Chief of General Staff Eric von Falkenhayn had a conversation, and the two decided to slightly expand the scope of use to see the effect.

After Zhao Chuanxin was delivered, he was not in a hurry and went back to wait.

Wilhelmina was overjoyed.

She thought to herself: When did this supernumerary husband become so considerate of his family?

What she didn't know was that Zhao Chuanxin actually cared about his family, but he didn't just care about his family.

In this way, on September 22, fierce conflicts broke out between the German army and the Allies in the Picardy area.

The two sides fought inextricably.

The battle continued on the second day. When William II was collecting the battle report, he received feedback on the use of the Hope M1910: The Hope M1910 is a good gun, but it must be given to veterans with rich combat experience. The new recruits are sometimes far away. He can shoot out all the bullets in one breath, cannot control the rhythm well, and cannot keep up with the ammunition supply...

Eric von Falkenhayn said cautiously: "It's better to wait and see. The time is too short and it can't prove anything."

William II said: "Although Zhao Chuanxin is rude and rude, he has excellent credibility. Besides, he can deliver weapons and ammunition to the battlefield in time. Sometimes he can be of great help."

Eric von Falkenhayn felt that William II was a bit of a joke, so he sneered in his heart and didn't answer.

However, when von Falkenhayn arrived, he saw that the soldiers of the German Eighth Group fighting Russia on the Eastern Front battlefield were exhausted and severely lacking in supplies.

However, the Russian army took the initiative to attack on the Neman River, and the situation was very serious.

Eric von Falkenhayn remembered what Wilhelm II had said yesterday.

He wanted to curse.

Yesterday I was secretly scolding His Majesty for being stupid, but today I am slapping myself in the face.

He hurriedly asked William II to send a telegram to Zhao Chuanxin: We urgently need to transport a batch of military rations and ammunition to the Niman River. Can you do it?

Zhao Chuanxin hugged Zhao Jinxiu, looked at the map on his glasses, and said, "Send them the classification of the military rations we produce and ask them which one they want. By the way, ask them if they need woolen quilts. After all, it's cold. ”

Eric von Falkenhayn and Wilhelm II were dumbfounded when they received the telegram.

Category A military rations: toilet paper, 10 cigarettes, seasoning packets, bread, biscuits, chocolate, butter, guacamole, beef, and roasting pan. These are divided into four tin cans and one plastic bottle.

Category B military rations: toilet paper, 5 cigarettes, seasoning packets, eggs, salmon, bread, pot, divided into three cans and a plastic bottle.

Category C military rations: toilet paper, 5 cigarettes, seasoning packets, instant noodles, eggs, coffee, divided into two cans and a plastic bottle.

Prices range from high to low, no matter how young or old you are.

Eric von Falkenhayn had an idea in his mind: Zhao Chuanxin is more rigorous than the Germans.

Out of curiosity, he wanted to ask if there was a more luxurious package.

But he never asked.

In 1913, Germany's annual income was 83 million pounds and Britain's annual income was 19.8 billion pounds.

As for the military expenditures of both sides, the UK is 184 million pounds and Germany is 144 million pounds.

From this set of data, we can roughly see the clues of Germany's serious deficit.

Now they can only rely on war to break the boundaries.

William II and the two of them did not hesitate and placed an order for Class A and B military rations from Zhao Chuanxin.

In the days when people have stupid brains, they don’t care about money, they only care about winning.

They originally thought that Zhao Chuanxin only had M1910 ammunition, but unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin also had 7.92mm Mauser bullets, and they could get them as much as they wanted.

Come prepared!

When Freddy Pavitt called and told him that the international bank transfer had arrived, Zhao Chuanxin handed Zhao Jinxiu to Margot.

He passed the teleportation array from The Hague to the teleportation array installed on Ao Island, and went to the factory to pick up the goods.

Then from the teleportation array on Ao Island, go to Lubin Mansion to get ammunition.

From Lubin Mansion, he returned to Nurdenburg and drove the fifth-generation dragon to the Niman River.

It took three hours and seventeen minutes in between, and one hour and twenty-five minutes to fly to the Neman River. It took a total of four hours and forty-two minutes to arrive at the designated place. He moved goods back and forth between Qutshalan. It took another twenty-three minutes.

Dong dong, are you at home? Zhao came to deliver warmth.

When Eric von Falkenhayn received the news, Zhao Chuanxin delivered all the needed supplies in just five hours and five minutes.

His heart skipped a beat: This man is so reliable!

William II looked at him, meaning: How about it, am I right?

Paul von Hindenburg, the operational commander of the German Eighth Army on the Eastern Front, was also surprised: "How was this done?"

He couldn't help but feel elated. Nowadays, people are poor, horses are short of food, and they are short of food and clothing. However, the Russian army takes the initiative because of sufficient food and grass.

This batch of supplies came at just the right time.

Eat and drink enough and keep fucking.

Soon, the Allies realized something was wrong.

The Tsarist Russian First Army and the Tenth Army had just merged, with strong troops and horses. Commander Lianekampf was about to take advantage of the lack of supplies of the German army to counterattack, but the enemy became more and more energetic.

Three days later, both sides counted casualties. Since August, the number of German casualties and missing persons in East Prussia reached 100,000, while the number of casualties in Tsarist Russia reached 125,000.

Lennykampf felt that something was wrong, very, very, very badly, and he communicated with the Allied Powers, China, Britain and France, but as a result, problems frequently occurred there as well.

It was clear that the German army was about to run out of ammunition and food. Just as they were about to attack here, they became more aggressive over there.

Soon, the French side gave out information: Zhao Chuanxin had contacted them.

In Flanders, the British Expeditionary Force joined the circular movement.

When the German army and the Allies fought in circles, strange incidents often occurred in which the German army ran out of ammunition and food and came back to life.

France was the first to try to send a telegram to Zhao Chuanxin: We need the Feng Ru 3 fighter jet you mentioned, and we want to shoot out the eyes of the German army.

Zhao Chuanxin treated everyone equally and asked them to remit money first and then send the plane.

At this time, the price of the French Gaudelon G3 reconnaissance aircraft is about 860 pounds.

The British Sopwith tabloid-style reconnaissance aircraft was purely handmade. Like the later Bentleys, the production volume was small, and the research and development costs were spread over a small amount. Therefore, the price was ridiculously expensive, with one aircraft costing more than 3,000 pounds.

The Feng Ru 3 fighter jet is more expensive than the Sopwith tabloid reconnaissance aircraft, costing 4,200 pounds each.

France gritted his teeth and bought one.

Their purpose is not to buy an airplane, but to test it out.

After the money was transferred to the designated account, within an hour, a plane flew over Flanders.

Just as a German reconnaissance plane was conducting a reconnaissance mission in the sky, the pilot took out his pistol and prepared to shoot Zhao Chuanxin.

How can Zhao Chuanxin still pamper him?

Immediately fly sideways, circle, and avoid first.

The German, French and British Expeditionary Forces who were fighting mobile warfare below all looked up at the sky.

I saw the new plane turning around.

Tata Tata...

At first, the onboard machine gun did not hit the German reconnaissance plane. After all, Zhao Chuanxin had never engaged in such an air battle.

But Xingyue soon helped him adjust the angle.

Tata Tata...

Two machine guns blasted the reconnaissance plane across from them with holes, smoke emitted, and then—boom!

Air burst disintegration.

The British, French and German soldiers below stared blankly.

Zhao Chuanxin flew to the designated place and landed.

"The plane arrived with three barrels of gasoline and a box of bullets as a gift. After all, we just consumed a lot in the sky."

The other party looked at the fighter with awe.

It's so awesome, with two machine guns and ammunition, you can still be faster than your opponent!

Zhao Chuanxin gave out the driving operation manual.

Before leaving, he told the other party: "By the way, this kind of fighter can only be filled with special aerospace oil from Shell Oil Company. There is a telegraph address for purchasing gasoline in the driver's manual."

"..."

Learn about bundle sales?

This French test confirmed two things: First, Zhao Chuanxin was indeed selling ordnance and supplies to the battlefield. Second, Zhao Chuanxian delivers goods to your door very quickly.

Joseph Xiafei was worried, thinking that Zhao Chuanxin might become a variable in the European battlefield, and he was even more worried that Zhao Chuanxin would set up a conspiracy with the Germans. After all, after the Battle of Jiaodong, William II's letter of thanks was ambiguous.

Therefore, although the fighter jet was purchased, it has been put on hold.

same day.

Zhao Chuanxin's speech at the Qingdao press conference aroused domestic public opinion. From time to time, some people jumped out of the yin and yang Yuan Weiting.

Yuan Weiting was so angry that he once again banned newspapers in large quantities and did not allow topics about Zhao Chuanxin to be published.

On the same day, Li Guangzong announced to all walks of life in Shandong that the shipyards, power plants, etc. left by Germany would be publicly owned.

But the brewery, Sifang Motorcycle Factory, Dehua Silk Reeling Company, slaughterhouse and other industries left by the Germans will be auctioned together with those small western-style buildings in half a month.

Li Guangzong began reconstruction work and restored the economy.

…

On the Eastern Front battlefield, the British and French forces failed to contact Zhao Chuanxin after all.

But on October 15, the German Duke Albrecht led the Fourth Army to attack Ypres.

The British army used their Lee-Enfield box-action short rifles in an attempt to cut the German camp into small pieces with rapid fire.

At this time, the British army's fast guns seemed not so fast.

This German army used a fast gun called the "Hope M1910", which caused heavy casualties to the British army, forcing them to shrink their formation.

A British soldier picked up a gun from the battlefield and gave it to his superior. After reporting the situation, Field Marshal French, the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, finally determined that Zhao Chuanxuan had been providing new arms to Germany. fact.

He tried again and sent a radio message to Zhao Chuanxin, asking Zhao Chuanxin to provide a batch of 7.7mm bullets dedicated to all British rifles.

Zhao Chuanxin: Yes, pay first.

The international bank transfer was successful and the bullets arrived at the scene almost at the same time.

With this, Britain and France recaptured the Hruwe area captured by the German Fourth Army on October 31.

Only then did Field Marshal French know that Zhao Chuanxin really had no conspiracy and was really doing business honestly.

The British telegraphed to the French army that the French Feng Ru 3 fighter jet took off and took down a German Albatross reconnaissance plane on the first day!

While shooting down the enemy plane, the pilot also photographed the enemy's movements and terrain, and used the airborne radio to tell the headquarters: "The German army is trying to reduce the scope of the defense line surrounding the city on the Mosinez Ridge and the village outside Visichais."

This information is of great significance to the British army.

The two sides fought fiercely here for several days.

The Germans never captured it.

…

On the southern battlefield, southwest of Belgrade, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had just replenished its firepower, and Field Marshal Oscar Potikorek could not wait to launch an attack on Serbia.

Zhao Chuanxin was an old customer in the Balkans. Marshal Radomir Putnik of Serbia knew that he was short of food and ammunition, so he hurriedly placed an order with Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin sent a batch of 7*57 bullets of Mauser-Koca M1899 and Class C military rations.

Serbia was able to take a breather and once again stalemate with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In Ypres, William II was eager to witness the German occupation of Ypres and was willing to go to the battlefield in person.

Because the weather was getting colder, he placed a large order for winter combat uniforms with Zhao Chuanxin.

The fur products of Lubinfu finally found a market.

William II and Zhao Chuanxin faced each other and both showed hypocritical smiles.

"Zhao."

"William."

"Zhao, why did you sell planes to France and bullets to Britain? You also sold bullets and military rations to Serbia?"

"Gunboat maintenance and fighter waxing are my specialties, William, don't get me wrong, I only provide technical support. I am just representing myself, you don't want that son of a bitch in the United States to profit from it, do you?"

William II was wearing a Hope brand combat cotton coat with a fur collar, which was very warm.

He felt that Zhao Chuanxin was just talking nonsense, just wanting to make money, making money regardless of his position.

This son of a bitch only has money in his eyes.

He pointed to the two Chinese characters "Hope" on his chest and asked Zhao Chuanxin: "What is this word?"

"Chinese characters, Hope."

William II asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Everything that should be returned has been returned to you, now there is no conflict between us, right?"

He was talking about the concessions in Hankou and Qingdao.

"Of course, we have no grudges anymore."

William II nodded: "I can't stop you from doing business with my enemies, but I ask you to side with me."

"No problem, you will see my sincerity eventually."

Inadvertently, Zhao Chuanxin stirred up a pond of spring water.

When Zhao Chuanxin left.

William II said: "Zhao Chuanxin is a speculator who sells hope."

This sentence spread throughout the European continent.
