Volume 5 Heavy Tree History Chapter 781 Victor
Ten rounds later, Long Ergou completely entered a state of selflessness, he mechanically quickly changed the magazine, holding the gun in his left hand and continuing to shoot the last bullet while taking out a new ten-round magazine magazine with his left hand, he removed the empty magazine and replaced it with a new one, this process was less than a second, and everyone didn't even notice that he had changed the magazine. The advantages of the light weight of the Minjiu rifle are fully revealed here, and Long Ergou shoots with one hand with his right hand, and the people who know the scene can't help but exclaim.
He was only nervous before the first shot, but when the gunshot rang out, the young man who grew up by the Liao River was completely nervous. He could only feel the rifle dissolving with him, feeling every moment the bullet was fired by him, feeling the heat of the chamber and the recoil of the butt. Ryuergou was completely immersed in shooting, and this kind of experience he had never experienced before, it seemed to be a state of obsession. He couldn't even stop himself, he shot very fast, and the shooting rate was very high, and it took him only seventeen seconds for the first magazine to run out, which amazed everyone in the room. Then Ryuergou got on the second magazine and continued to shoot.
"Ping Pong Ping Pong ......"
The second magazine took less time to shoot ten bullets, and it only took eighteen seconds to replace the magazine, Long Ergou immediately replaced the third magazine and continued to shoot, and after the third magazine was fired, Long Ergou immediately changed the fourth magazine to shoot.
When Long Ergou was shooting, the audience and reporters counted the bullets for him, "One! Two! Three! Oh my God, how could he shoot so fast? "The audience stood up in unison when they saw the third bullet, because the Chinese Long Ergou was shooting too fast. This was completely beyond their imagination, and the bullets of the Minjiu rifle could almost catch up with the automatic rifle.
Charlesman, president of the American Firearms Association (the organizer of this arms expo), also said in disbelief: "Are they holding rifles?" Is it really a single-shot rifle? Are you sure they are not using repeating rifles (semi-automatic rifles)? Oh my God, a single-shot rifle can reach such a rate of fire? "There has always been a voice in the United States. Repeating rifles will completely replace single-shot rifles, but they have been resisted by many weapons manufacturers. The reason for this is that if the repeating rifle is adopted, it will greatly increase the firepower of the army, but it will prompt the army to reduce the number of soldiers, thus affecting the acquisition of interests of weapons manufacturers in the army. Arms manufacturers not only provide weapons to the US team, but also have many interests in other aspects, such as logistical support. At the same time, weapons manufacturers prefer artillery. There are not a few artilleryists in the army, who do not pay attention to light weapons, but to the power of battleships with artillery. (Because of this contradictory thinking.) As a result, the United States only had a large-scale supply of semi-automatic rifles in 1936, the most famous M1 Garand rifle, but its neighbor Mexico began to be equipped with automatic rifles in 1916.)
"Thirty-three rounds!"
"It's time!"
Ryuuji Dog was completely immersed in his own shooting. No sound was heard. Continuing to shoot, he ran out of the fourth magazine, and when he continued to reload, his hand was grabbed by Xiao Yansheng.
"Ergou, it's okay, we won!" Xiao Yansheng pretended to be calm and said.
"Win?"
"Win!"
Long Ergou looked back at the Chinese delegation and asked, "Did you really win?" β
"Win!" The Chinese delegation cheered, while the American audience and journalists who watched from the sidelines applauded. Because this amazing fast single-shot rifle is really beyond everyone's understanding. Its rate of fire is comparable to that of an automatic rifle that costs five times as much. How can it not be surprising.
Afro suddenly exclaimed, "No, it can't be! They cheated! Everyone looked over, and Afuro came over angrily and said, "This is an automatic rifle, it must be, you use automatic rifles to compete, despicable!" β
Xiao Yansheng immediately said coldly: "Mr. Avro, please respect us, the competition committee and the American Gun Control Association!" Guns, they checked them, are you doubting their integrity? β
"This ......" Avro choked up, and the audience booed, ashamed of the cheating after the loss.
The British Vickers arms manufacturer immediately came over and said: "Let me check, I am Gerald, the manager of the British Vickers Arms Company, can you trust me?" β
"Okay, you can check." Afuro said.
Xiao Yansheng immediately said: "Please check it casually, we have a clear conscience." β
Gerald took the Minjiu rifle in Long Ergou's hand, and then slowly disassembled and disassembled the rifle in front of everyone's eyes, and then he said in surprise: "Your bolt and magazine combination is in the Lee Enfield pattern......"
"Yes." Xiao Yansheng immediately took out the power of attorney and said, "This is the power of attorney from the British War Office in 1913. β
Gerald waved his hand in surprise and shouted: "The British War Office has never had any contact with the Chinese side, you are pirated!" Piracy! The game was not fair."
"Piracy?!" The audience and judges were suddenly surprised and began to loudly condemn the Chinese, and Afurro also took the opportunity to shout: "The Chinese have shamelessly won the competition, shameless!" β
The Chinese delegation immediately shouted: "Impossible! No way! β
"Calm down! Be still! stopοΌ Xiao Yansheng shouted, or Long Ergou suddenly shouted: "Shut up!" Then he picked up another rifle and fired three shots at the sky, and the audience was startled, and the security guard was stupid.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone suddenly stopped talking, Xiao Yansheng immediately said: "Our parent company, I'm afraid you should know that the EAST Light Weapons Manufacturing Company, after the end of the European War, EAST was on the verge of bankruptcy, and could only relocate to China to continue its development, and was acquired by the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, so we have the right to develop and improve it." And please take a look, we have further developed the combination of bolt and magazine, and today's Minjiu rifle has far surpassed the rate of fire and accuracy of the Lee Enfield short rifle. β
Gerald immediately looked at the authorization and design sketches, and the representatives of the American Institute of Firearms Management also came over to share and watch the two reports, and then nodded in unison.
The documents were legal and documented, and American arms manufacturers were excited when the collapse of the East company was bought into China. Because the East company has always been oriented to the American private sector, it is committed to the development of small arms and shotguns. However, after the end of the European war, the market of arms manufacturers has plummeted, and everyone has to pay attention to the domestic light weapons market. The collapse of the East company is a good thing for everyone, and everyone is naturally happy to have one less competitor. Hearing that it was being bought by a Chinese arms manufacturer, the American Gun Control Association also ridiculed at the time that the East company had degenerated to live on Chinese relief.
But I didn't expect that when EAST made a comeback, it actually appeared as the first party in China, which was also too ...... counterattack!
Gerald shook his head and said helplessly to Afurrow, "You failed, sorry, sir, because this gun is an improved version of the East1 rifle that was once in service with the British and Australian armies." Also, the fastest rate of fire of the Lee Enfield rifle was not twenty-three rounds, but thirty-eight rounds a minute. In 1914, a British Empire shooting instructor set a record at a shooting range in Winchester. He won you, but not the Lee Enfield rifle. β
"This ......," Afro was speechless.
Xiao Yansheng said on the side: "Mr. Avro, if you climb out from here, our bet will be over!" Lin Changmin returned to Japan after staying in Japan, but his English was not bad, so he hurriedly persuaded him on the side: "Dingtian, don't be like this, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them." β
Xiao Yansheng sneered: "Secretary-General, if they win, will they let us go?" Confucius said well, repay grievances with straightforwardness, repay virtue with virtue, how I treat him now, it is all because of how he treated us at the beginning. β
Lin Changmin said: "Having said that, after all, we are in the United States, and we are not familiar with the place, so we have taken the liberty of offending the American ** fire merchants...... This has a great impact on China's current negotiations. You must know that many members of the US Congress are supported by arms dealers, and members of Congress influence the national policy of the United States. β
Xiao Yansheng heard the words and knew that he didn't think much, so he sighed helplessly, and said to reporters, audiences and managers: "I'm sorry, I give up this bet!" β
"What?"
"Are you crazy?"
"Chinese, what are you doing?"
"You guy, you actually gave up the bet?"
"You've already won, are you going to give up the chance to punish your opponent?"
"Crazy, it must be crazy."
Xiao Yansheng raised his hands and said, "Everyone, everyone, please listen to me. As everyone listened, even Avro looked at his opponent in amazement and listened to what he was saying. Xiao Yansheng said: "Everyone, in fact, I want to thank Mr. Avro, in fact, he helped us and helped our Chinese weapons manufacturers, if it weren't for him, no one would know Chinese rifles, Chinese weapons." And we came to the United States this time, not to provoke, but to bet, we are businessmen, and we are interested in profits. Everyone, interests, interests! I hope that Mr. Afurrow and I will not know each other, and I also hope that all experts and friends in the West will reacquaint themselves with China and take a closer look at China's weapons. He then extended his hand to Afro and said, "Enemies can be friends in the face of interests, can't they?" β
The audience was surprised by the words of this Chinese, of course, they did not understand the wisdom of the Chinese at all, why did they let go of the opponent here, maybe this only the Chinese understand. But by doing so, he did so that Avro did not have to jump into the icy Hudson River in the November winter, which was considered to spare his life, and there was no one on the scene who dared to underestimate the wisdom of the Chinese and the Chinese.
