Chapter 73: Year of Xinhai (1)

After Fang Jianxiong's bandit suppression plan started, the bandits in several surrounding counties had no way of living. It's not easy to be a bandit these days. Those who have a few rifles are considered to be gangsters, and those who have a few quick guns are considered to be gangsters.

Giant bandit.

Every time Fang Jianxiong's patrol battalion attacks, the special agent company conducts reconnaissance in advance, and then a patrol battalion is dispatched to surround the bandits' nest and set up cannons to blast the hell out of them first. How can any bandit be able to hold on like this?

In less than two months, all the bandits in several counties have disappeared. Even those who have not been eliminated are not willing to stay in the counties around Wuhu and move to other places to continue their promising career as bandits.

More than a dozen infantry battalions were mobilized in rotation, but the effect was very average, but the artillery battalion was trained. Fang Jianxiong's artillery battalion was organized into three companies, and the actual number was six companies. The artillery was still six 37-guns per company.

Fang Jianxiong's purpose was to train the soldiers first so that the artillery problem could be easily solved.

In order to deceive others, Fang Jianxiong also placed the artillery camp in a valley and built a road to get there. Very few people went there, and even if someone did, they would be stopped by the guards. In today's troubled times, no one cares about this matter.

Interesting, everyone can’t get enough to eat.

In Wuhu and the five surrounding counties, it is now an enviable job to serve as a soldier in a patrol camp. Fang Jianxiong, who is rich and wealthy, no matter what others think, when new recruits come in, they are given two sets of clothes and two pairs of cloth shoes. They also have good food and rice.

They had enough food, three meals a day, either fish or meat at noon and dinner, and no one had two eggs a day.

Everything is fine, but the training is too hard!

After returning from Dangtu, Fang Jianxiong still had no chance to rest. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Gu Heng, Fisher, and Victor drinking tea.

"Why are you all back? The Eurasian Department Store doesn't have to open anymore?" The Eurasian Department Store mentioned by Fang Jianxiong is a recent big deal of the Eurasian Group. It is located in the French Concession. It bought a piece of land and built a three-story building. This

The building was started a year ago and was originally intended to be used as the headquarters of Eurasia Group. Seeing that it was almost completed, Fang Jianxiong suddenly had an idea and decided to build a department store.

The main reason for having such an idea is that the Eurasian Group now has a wide range of products. In the first half of this year alone, a canned food factory, a candy factory, a monosodium glutamate factory, and an enamel factory have been put into operation. This does not count the number of companies added before. Now it is not

After asking Gu Heng, Fang Jianxiong didn't even know the family background of Eurasia Group.

"How can we delay the department store's important event? I came back this time because of an emergency." Gu Heng explained with a smile, and Fang Jianxiong sat down after greeting the other two.

"Is there anything urgent? Who can say it first?"

"Let me tell you first!" Gu Heng raised his hand and Fang Jianxiong nodded. Gu Heng said: "The department store is almost ready. According to your request, all the sales staff are young and beautiful girls. When it comes to recruiting people, I started to think that

It’s hard, I didn’t expect that when the advertisement came out, there would be so many girls applying.”

Fang Jianxiong frowned, raised his hand and interrupted: "Mr. Gu, don't just be happy, talk about your urgent matters. Report the rest slowly, there is plenty of time in the evening."

Gu Heng was also happy. He smiled sheepishly and said, "What's urgent is that our new MSG is selling very well in Shanghai. I don't know what happened, but the president of a Japanese company came to us and said that we stole it.

Their 'Ajinomoto' technology is going to sue us in the Concession Court."

After hearing this, Fang Jianxiong waved his hands and said: "Isn't it just monosodium glutamate? Ajinomoto! Ignore him, we have registered patents all over the world, and we will not lose the lawsuit. By the way, you can hire a lawyer.

, countersued him!”

Gu Heng listened and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'm fine. Doesn't this concern the Japanese people, so I came back."

Fang Jianxiong looked up at Victor and said immediately: "My matter is not too urgent, but I have to come. The arms Jinan wants include a total of 10,000 rifles and 5 million rounds of ammunition. The transaction has ended

In Qingdao, through the relationship with the headquarters of the foreign company, the military promised to help train students of large-caliber howitzers at a tuition fee of five hundred oceans per student. The specific amount of money it will cost depends on what you want. Qingdao said

, you can accept up to one company of people, the tuition is charged per head, the cannonballs are charged according to the number fired, and the barrels are also charged."

Is there such a good thing? Are the Germans so poor that they are crazy? Fang Jianxiong was ecstatic in his heart. Heavy artillery is not easy to handle, and the worst thing is that it cannot see the light! It was originally expected that he could make a lot of money by training dozens of them.

"I said Victor, are you drunk too much? If you are not urgent about this matter, what is an urgent matter?" Fang Jianxiong first scolded him with a dark face. Victor shrugged to show his innocence, and Fang Jianxiong continued: "This

If the military can keep things absolutely confidential, I will ask them to train a company of people for half a year. I want them to be all qualified artillerymen."

"Absolutely no problem. If you don't have confidence in me, you should also have confidence in money." Victor quickly confirmed that he made a lot of money from this business.

"Fisher, I see you don't look calm. What happened?" Fang Jianxiong turned to ask Fisher.

The most prestigious financier in Shanghai at present smiled and took out a telegram from his pocket, handed it to Fang Jianxiong and said: "John found oil in Mexico. The reserves are amazing, but the specific figures have not been released yet. John called to ask for instructions.

What to do next?”

"Oh my God!" Fang Jianxiong was also excited. This is a huge gold mine! He stood up and turned around in circles. It took Fang Jianxiong a while to calm down and said to Fisher: "Go back to the United States immediately and seek help from the oil giants.

Cooperation. The specific cooperation method, I need a lot of money in the short term, so as long as this condition is met, it doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss. In addition, you tell John that in order to reward his merits, he will receive a bonus of half a million US dollars.

As long as the oil giant's money arrives, he will be a rich man."

"I have no problem. When I go back this time, I will rush back to the United States immediately." Fisher's usual concise style.

"No, no, I still have questions. Fisher, there is one thing you need to do as soon as possible when you arrive in the United States. I want to build a flying fleet. You need to purchase some aircraft and parts in the United States, and recruit pilots. This matter is also very important.

Urgent, remember, the plane must be the best. Specific benefits, Americans who are willing to come to China can get three times the salary in the United States!"

After Fang Jianxiong explained, Fisher immediately took out a notebook and wrote it down. Fang Jianxiong sat back in his seat, thought for a moment and said: "Victor, please send a telegram to Pierre and tell him that I need a large number of industrial talents.

He will find a way for me to get a group of people."

"Okay, no problem, I will do it! By the way, another batch of goods has arrived recently, and Pierre asked me to take a look at it as soon as possible." Victor walked to the yard and pointed at the two

The box said: "There are a hundred boxes in this batch of goods, ten of which are different from the other ninety boxes. I specially moved one box of the same."

Fang Jianxiong came out to take a look, and licked his lips at Qi Erzhu. Qi Erzhu immediately stepped forward, picked up the prepared crowbar, and pried open the box to reveal the packaging straw straps inside.

Fang Jianxiong stepped forward and took out a rifle from the first box, and his eyes immediately went straight. Damn, he moved so fast. It had only been half a year before the sniper rifle came.

The gun is a K98 equipped with a scope. It is exquisitely made and has a six-power scope. The trigger has been modified and the trigger force reaches 1.8kg.

Fang Jianxiong was like a pervert encountering a beautiful woman. He couldn't put it down after holding it in his hand. There were fifty guns in this batch, but there were still some missing. Fang Jianxiong put the gun back and took out one from another box. It looked strange to people now.

gun.

Sten submachine gun, yes, it is a Sten submachine gun. This kind of gun has a simple structure and is cheap. If you don’t copy it, who will be a copycat? However, Fang Jianxiong changed the design of the safety so that soldiers would not be accidentally injured by fire before they went to the battlefield.

.

This thing is a monster that eats money! Thinking that thirty rounds of bullets will be fired without pulling the trigger, Fang Jianxiong felt that his heart was bleeding. No matter what, he prepared three or four thousand bullets and hit them at the critical moment.

"Okay, very good. You can tell Biel by telegram that his design is perfect. Tell him that I need at least three thousand of these submachine guns and at least one thousand of these rifles with scopes. Tell him that this batch of

The goods must be delivered as soon as possible." Fang Jianxiong gritted his teeth, and after thinking about it, he decided to expand the purchase amount.

These two weapons are definitely killer moves on the domestic battlefield. The sniper rifle doesn't take many bullets, so it can use more. As for the submachine gun, I have to reluctantly give up a lot of equipment, and I really can't afford this.

After seeing these three people off, and thinking about the upcoming submachine gun, Fang Jianxiong went to the manufacturing bureau again. After two months of intense installation and debugging, the newly purchased machinery and equipment was finally put into production. According to Fang Jianxiong's suggestion, Gio

Sting subcontracted some insignificant parts, which greatly improved production efficiency.

Fang Jianxiong instructed that the production of bullets must be increased as soon as possible. Georgin almost beat his chest to pieces to ensure that Fang Jianxiong walked out of the manufacturing bureau.

The sky that had been gloomy all afternoon finally started to move. A drop of snow dropped and hit his neck with a chill. Fang Jianxiong shivered and an umbrella appeared on his head. Qi Erzhu next to him held up an umbrella to block the falling rain.

Snow.

"It's snowing, winter is about to pass." Fang Jianxiong looked at the gradually falling snowflakes and muttered in a low voice. Among the flying snowflakes, the time came to the last day of 1910. There was still half a month before the Spring Festival, the year of Xinhai.

It's finally coming.

Is there anything else I want to do but haven’t done yet? As Fang Jianxiong walked back slowly, four fast horses came on the road ahead. Fang Jianxiong raised his eyes and took a look, and gradually got closer and saw clearly what was coming.

It’s Huyan Aobo and Cheng Zhixuan!

Aren't these two going to suppress the bandits? Why is this guy Huyan Aobo doing this if he doesn't lead the team in Xuancheng?

c!~!
