Chapter 25: All Things Go Well

"Let's go for a trip, this cooperation is not bad, just the things that come out of that Japanese trading house are worth at least tens of thousands of oceans, and there are machinery and equipment that we can't get. Even if that kid is ready to lie to us this time, it's only 200 oceans, and we can't be sure that the other party is going to lie to us. After some discussion, everyone finally agreed to Xu Huanshan's request and sent Xu Huanshan to meet with Lu Yuan.

Still outside the Rose Bar, Lu Yuan saw Xu Huanshan, who was still pretending to be a rickshaw driver, whispered a few words to Hansen in the bar, and Lu Yuan, who was carrying a pot of juice, walked out of the bar and went straight to Xu Huanshan. Without eye contact and low greetings, Lu Yuan was just a taxi driver, and Xu Huanshan was also a rickshaw driver who pulled a car for a living. Pulling Lu Yuan around the street where the Rose Bar was located, Xu Huanshan, who had been immersed in pulling the car, whispered to Lu Yuan, who was sitting in the car, "Boy, aren't you going to say something?" ”

"I'm just a little curious, where are you dressed like this, and where are you carrying the 200 oceans I want?" Lu Yuan in the rickshaw said with a smile, which made Xu Huanshan angry. "Don't worry, that thing is real, I found it from that trading house that day. I guess that thing should work for you, and if you don't want it, then I'll have to take it to the black market. Lu Yuan took the initiative to mention the firm, and Xu Huanshan couldn't help but believe it.

"Alright, I'll go down here, stuffed under the cushion. This time tomorrow, I'm going to see my 200 oceans, and you don't have to pay for it. Regardless of whether Xu Huanshan was willing or not, Lu Yuanjing knocked the pedal of the rickshaw with his foot and motioned Xu Huanshan to park the car on the side of the road. Take it, this is the car money, and the money you get in exchange for your death can't rely on you. Lu Yuan, who was standing on the side of the road, took out a piece of ocean and threw it to Xu Huanshan, and then walked away with a smile on his own with juice.

"Shit, you little bastard." Rubbing the ocean in his hand, Xu Huanshan muttered to Lu Yuan's back very wordlessly, this thing even really regarded himself as a coolie pulling a rickshaw. Finding the documents left by Lu Yuan from under the seat of the rickshaw, Xu Huanshan didn't dare to stay long, and returned to his residence with the rickshaw, only waiting until it was dark before quietly going to another secret stronghold of the underground party.

What Lu Yuan sold to the underground party in Shanghai was a piece of business information related to the Japanese Kwantung Army, and the Japanese Kwantung Army, through the Japanese military headquarters, asked the Japanese merchants in Shanghai to deliver oil and military supplies to the Kwantung Army. The documents Lu Yuan provided to the underground party in Shanghai contained a detailed dispatch process, and there was also an inventory list sandwiched between them, which clearly indicated the quantity and share of supplies that the Japanese merchants in Shanghai undertook to transport.

This thing is worthless in Lu Yuan's hands, but if it is placed in the hands of the underground party, it can sing a good show. In exchange for such a thing with 200 oceans, it is not a loss for the Shanghai underground party, but Lu Yuan bought a residence in the French Concession through the powerful Hansen after receiving the money, Lu Yuan's new home is a Western-style house, most of this Western-style houses have basements, but Lu Yuan is still not satisfied with hiring people to build three small bungalows in the backyard, which is called a tool house, but in fact, one of them is used by Zhao Lei to hide the tunnel exit.

Lu Yuanwo has been at home these days, not only to recuperate, but he has also hired a few northern refugees with their families to dig a tunnel from the basement of the house to the backyard hut. It took Lu Yuanzhi three days to dig the tunnel and fix the tunnel with cement, and before the excavation of this 50-meter tunnel was completed, the refugees hired by Lu Yuan were also tired of dogs.

But this is not the end, Lu Yuan also took them to follow him to tidy up the basement, not only spent a lot of money to make sound insulation treatment for the basement, but also made a lot of wooden lattices for the basement, and Lu Yuan even pulled water and electricity for the basement. Through Hoffman's connections, Lu Yuan got a few old small machine tools and equipment from the British factory owner named Henry, and Lu Yuan dismantled, washed and maintained these lathes and equipment, and then moved them into the basement and reassembled them piecemeal. Ding Ding made a large wooden workbench again, and Lu Yuan was temporarily planning to let go of the few northern refugees who were already exhausted.

"If you take the money, leave Shanghai early, Shanghai is very chaotic now, and it is difficult for you northerners who have no heels to live in Shanghai. If you want to live well, I advise you not to go to Hunan, it is better to go all the way to the southwest, Yunnan is very good. The climate is pleasant, and the locals don't bully outsiders, so you can use the money to start a small business in the southwest to support your family. After setting up his underground studio, Lu Yuan personally sent those hired northern refugees out of Shanghai, and Lu Yuan was not too sure whether the other party would follow his advice.

Personally sent away the refugees who helped him stubbornly dig tunnels and repair basements, and with a new home in the concession and a studio of his own, Lu Yuan was satisfied with the current state of life. Except for going to the Rose Bar from time to time to meet with Hansen or going to Henry's factory to buy the materials he needed, most of the rest of the time, Lu Yuan spent most of his time in the underground studio fiddling with the equipment and iron parts, and it seemed that Lu Yuan had become a leisurely person.

Time passed day by day, and about half a month passed, and the Concession Patrol Room still did not find out who robbed the firm. Even though the Concession Patrol House has used the channels of the gangsters, it is still confused, not to mention the lost tobacco and soil in the trading houses, and even the mechanical equipment and chemical raw materials lost in the trading houses are nowhere to be found. The Japanese boss behind the scenes of the trading house naturally refused to suffer this loss, and immediately exerted pressure on the patrol house of the concession again and again, but with little effect.

A week later, Lu Yuan got his share of the money from Han Yuan, compared to the money Lu Yuan got from the safe, the twelve thousand yuan that Han Yuan gave Lu Yuan was really not much, but it was enough to make Lu Yuan's already empty wallet full again. Counting the 12,000 oceans that Hansen paid to Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan finally obtained the ownership of the Western-style house from Hansen, and the smooth arrival of the house and the completion of the studio were double happiness for Lu Yuan.

Pulling Hoffman and Henry to find a reason to have a big meal by the way, even though Hoffman was suspicious, Lu Yuan successfully prevaricated with lies. Every morning, Lu Yuan would do a lot of strength and dexterity training in the backyard, and after lunch, Lu Yuan would usually stay in the underground studio. Except for Lu Yuan himself, others didn't know what he was busy with all day, but Henry was begged by Lu Yuan many times to help get a batch of metal materials and some auxiliary tools that were in demand in the world.

With an underground studio, what Lu Yuan will do is naturally related to changing the gun. Lu Yuan got back five brand-new 38 rifles from the firm that night, although the accuracy of the Japanese 38 is better than that of the rifles produced in many countries in this era, but Lu Yuan does not like the cumbersome task of bolting the rifle to shoot a shot and pull the bolt once, he plans to use the five 38 rifles in his hand and the two half-damaged submachine guns provided by Hansen to modify a new rifle that uses the barrel of the 38 rifle but has a semi-automatic design principle.

After half a month of busy and repeated revisions, Lu Yuan finally had a semi-automatic rifle with a simple appearance and a peculiar style, and the semi-automatic rifle modified by Lu Yuan was simply a mixture of a submachine gun and a Type 38 rifle, while retaining the barrel of the Type 38 rifle, Lu Yuan retained the function of automatic rejection and shell throwing of the submachine gun, and changed the ammunition supply method from the magazine type to the magazine type, and the direction of loading bullets also changed from the upper part to the loading magazine from the lower part.

That said, the magazine of the straight double-row loading magazine is not very pretty, but the 20-round reload is a big advantage, not to mention that the speed of changing the magazine is much faster than the speed of loading with the bridge. If Han Sen saw this new rifle, he would definitely exclaim that it was a miracle, but Lu Yuan was not very satisfied with this test piece. Although Lu Yuan still retained the caliber of the 38 rifle of the gun and added a front grip to the gun, Lu Yuan still thought it was too heavy in terms of the weight of the whole gun.

The weight of the main weapon determines the amount of ammunition that the user has on board, and the upper limit of ammunition set by Lu Yuan for himself is 200 rifle bullets, 40 pistol rounds, four grenades or wooden-handled grenades, and if you add the pistol and spare magazine, Lu Yuan's weight will exceed 15 kg. Carrying more than 15 kilograms of portable ammunition and weapons to fight, Lu Yuan still doesn't have the physical strength to ask himself, but fortunately, he still has a storage space that can be called against the sky and can come in handy when the time comes.

Lu Yuan tried his best to reduce the weight and simplify the appearance of this semi-automatic rifle, but at the same time, he did not forget to exercise every day, and he even spent money to find someone to learn some boxing techniques. Mr. Hansen was very depressed during this time, since Lu Yuan got his share of the money, he came to the Rose Bar less often, and more often he just used the phone to contact him, and keeping in touch with Lu Yuan was naturally what Hansen wanted to see, but this did not include that he had to help the kid find a tailor or a shoemaker.

Lu Yuan asked Hansen to help him find a shoemaker and a tailor, Hansen didn't know what Lu Yuan was going to do, in fact, even Hoffman and Henry, who were close to Lu Yuan, didn't know what Lu Yuan wanted a tailor and a shoemaker for. In fact, after getting his share of the money from Hansen and obtaining all the property rights of his new residence, Lu Yuan was already preparing for the upcoming Battle of Songhu.
