Chapter 07: Chapter VII Arms Trading

"Louis, come and see, this gentleman speaks German very well."

Lucas pushed open the door to the manager's office. Inside, there was a blond man drinking coffee. When he saw Lucas pushing the door open, he didn't blame him.

"Lucas, if you continue to be so rude, the purest elegance in Germany will be gone."

"Sorry, Sir Louis, I was reckless." Lucas gave a standard German salute.

"Haha, come on." Louis interrupted Lucas. The two have been friends for many years, so how could they have so many serious moments.

Jiang Lin looked at the blond middle-aged German man in front of him who was meticulously dressed and had a touch of aristocratic etiquette. He could tell at a glance that his identity was not simple. Ordinary Germans would not be like him.

"Lucas, introduce your friend behind you."

Lucas smiled slightly at Jiang Lin and introduced: "Paul Louis is the manager of our foreign bank. He is of pure German blood."

Then he introduced Jiang Lin to Paul: "This is Mr. Jiang Lin, who has the purest voice of Berlin. Louis, I was surprised when I heard it just now."

Lucas still looked a little surprised. It seemed that Jiang Lin's accent just now still stuck with him.

Lucas's look immediately interested Paul: "Hello, Mr. Jiang Lin, I am Paul Louis, from Berlin."

Paul stretched out his hand to Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin was not rude and shook Paul's hand lightly, still speaking with a Berlin accent: "Hello, Mr. Lewis, I am Jiang Lin."

Paul raised his eyebrows. Although he was a little surprised, he was still quite calm and did not make a fuss like Lucas.

"Lucas, two cups of coffee, thank you."

Lucas nodded, turned around and walked out.

"Please sit down. I wonder if Mr. Jiang needs anything when he comes to Meizhi?" Paul is a businessman no matter what, and the businessman's profit-seeking nature is immediately exposed. If Jiang Lin has nothing to do to tease him, Berlin

No matter how similar his accent was, he would never give Jiang Lin face.

Jiang Lin didn't think there was anything wrong. It was best to cooperate with people who pursue interests like this, because such people always believe in interests.

"Mr. Lewis, I would like to purchase a batch of 98 rifles from your country."

Paul's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Debon's 98 rifle is one of the best rifles in this era. The caliber of the gun is 7.92 mm, the muzzle velocity is 878m per second, the effective range is about 500 meters, the gun body is 1250 mm long, the gun weighs about 4.2kg, and the ammunition capacity

5 rounds, ammunition specification 7.92×57 mm, full name Gewehr 98, officially became the standard rifle of the German Army in 1898.

The gun has the advantages of reliable performance and accurate shooting. Its main features are a fixed double-row magazine and a rotating rear-pull bolt.

The magazine is double row, fixed, and its bottom plate is removable. When loading, you can load one round from the ejection port on the top, or you can load 5 rounds at a time through the magazine clip. Each bridge clip holds 5 rounds.

, enough to fill a magazine.

There is a machined bridge clip guide groove on the rear bridge of the receiver. After loading, when the bolt is closed, the empty bridge clip will be automatically ejected.

The Gew98 rifle was the standard rifle of the German army infantry until the end of World War II. It can be seen how good its performance is. Jiang Lin's goal is naturally it. There is no better choice than this kind of gun.

"Mr. Jiang, since you know about the 98 rifle, you must also know that the production of the 98 rifle is not that easy. Moreover, it is the standard weapon of our German army, so it is not easy to obtain."

Paul told lies seriously. As Germany's largest foreign company in the East, he had bought and sold arms with others many times, and he still pretended to be a chick when faced with Jiang Lin.

But Jiang Lin didn't expose him. It's just a sedan chair, so it's just a matter of lifting him.

"I believe you, Mr. Lewis."

This sentence stopped Paul for a moment.

He cheered up slightly, and then continued: "Of course, there is no way, but it will cost a lot."

Jiang Lin became more energetic: "It doesn't matter, as long as we can get it."

Since the two parties have temporarily reached a cooperative tendency, there is no need for Paul to conceal his purpose.

"The price of a 98 rifle is 40 yuan, and it comes with 120 rounds of ammunition. Of course, we have more good things here, such as the Ruger pistol, with a caliber of 9 mm, an ammunition capacity of 8 rounds, and an effective range of 100

Within meters.”

"The Maxim heavy machine gun has a caliber of 11.43 mm, a gun weight of 27.2 kg, a water-cooled barrel, an ammunition capacity of 333 rounds, and a 6.4-meter-long canvas belt for ammunition, which can be continued. The theoretical rate of fire is 600 rounds per minute."

"besides……"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Lewis, I want everything you said."

"All?" Paul was a little dumbfounded. Is Mr. Jiang so generous?

"Yes, I want them all. I want 1,000 98 rifles, 20 Ruger pistols, 4 Maxim heavy machine guns, and 100,000 rounds of other ammunition. That's all."

"Hiss..." When Paul heard this, he asked, is this guy a warlord? He wants so many weapons, but he doesn't care about these. He only needs Jiang Lin to buy arms. No matter what Jiang Lin uses them for, it has nothing to do with him. It's best.

The more the merrier.

When Jiang Lin finally left, Paul and Leon sent him directly to the door before giving up.

Although he had discussed the weapon with Paul and paid the deposit, Jiang Lin still felt a little distressed after leaving home. A hundred thousand oceans had been used up. The money he had just received was gone. Jiang Lin

I couldn't help but touch my empty purse.

Next to him, Xiao San'er's face looked even prettier. From the moment Jiang Lin spoke fluent German and communicated with the manager of the foreign bank, Xiao San'er's mouth was so surprised that he never closed it. In addition, Jiang Lin told him about the hundred thousand oceans of arms.

The transaction shocked Xiao San'er even more. At this time, he still looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Brother Lin, Xiao San'er, how are you guys coming out? Is everything okay?"

As soon as the other people saw the two coming out, they quickly gathered around and asked with concern.

"It's okay, let's go."

From behind, people called for Xiao San'er: "Xiao San'er? What's wrong with you? Why are you so confused that you don't speak?"

After a long while, Xiao San'er came back to his senses, and then told everyone about Jiang Lin's all-powerful situation with the foreigners inside. Of course, he made up most of it, but the one hundred thousand ocean transaction shocked everyone.

"You mean, Brother Lin bought so many guns? More than a thousand guns?"

In their eyes, the Ruger pistol and the Maxim are both guns, and they do not understand that these two guns are different from ordinary rifles.

"My dear, you bought so many guns. It seems Brother Lin is going to do something big!" Everyone became excited and quickly caught up with Jiang Lin.

By the time we returned to Nanming Town, it was already the second day.

Early in the morning, the whole Nanming town became lively because Jiang Lin was recruiting people today.

Jiang Chengdong bought Jiang Lin a large courtyard at the entrance of the town, with more than 2,000 square meters and 80 rooms. It was originally built by a wealthy businessman from Shenjiang after he came here. Unfortunately, the wealthy businessman went bankrupt and the courtyard will be sold.

The man happened to be captured by Jiang Chengdong.

At this moment, Jiang Lin was standing in front of his new home, looking at a large group of people. These were all the tribesmen Jiang Chengdong called over.

"Everyone, listen to me. My name is Jiang Lin. Everyone should know me. Those who don't know me must have heard of me."

Everyone laughed: "Brother Lin, everyone knows you."

"That's right, I heard that Brother Lin came back from abroad and is very rich."

…Let’s take this as a compliment.

"I asked Brother Dong to gather everyone here today because we want to set up a security group, our own security group in Nanming."

Jiang Lin had told the clan leader about this, and the clan leader and elders were very happy for Jiang Lin to do it.
