Zhou Wen didn't know whether it was out of jealousy of other people's handsomeness or some other mischievous mentality. Anyway, it was difficult to change the word "Tian Boguang" once he said it.
He also didn't want to think about the fact that Tian Boguang, the character written by Mr. Jin, was a promiscuous thief. Although he later changed his ways, it was only after someone gave his property to someone else. Takeda Kaede has never done anything like that, so why did she get the name of a lewd thief?
Many years later, Tian Boguang, who was already a core member of the mercenary group, asked Zhou Wen why he chose this name. Zhou felt a rare moment of embarrassment and said perfunctorily that he was a hero in a book. When people asked what kind of book it was, Zhou simply said with a heartbeat: "I don't remember."
As for why Tian Boguang must beg to become Zhou Wen's retainer, there are two reasons. One is that he has no way to go and nowhere to go. According to the old customs of Japanese society, people like him who were expelled from their families could only become wandering samurai, also known as ronin samurai. There is no future except to become someone else's retainer. What makes Zhou Wen think he is even more weird is that he actually said that he had an intuition that Zhou Wen could help him get revenge in the end.
Zhou Wen finally accepted him mainly because of his experience in studying at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and serving as a second lieutenant staff officer in the Japanese Army after graduation. This allowed him to have a deeper and more direct understanding of the composition and combat methods of the Japanese army. Only by understanding and learning your opponents more deeply can you defeat and eliminate them more effectively.
Therefore, Zhou Wen threw Tian Boguang into the military camp to participate in the daily training of the mercenary group and to test his various skills. Unexpectedly, he won praise from Zhang Xiaoping in just a few days. That shows that this guy has really good military qualities.
Zhou Wen thought for a while and then said to Zhang Xiaoping: "It's better to observe him for a while first, and then send him to Lishi in a few days. Over there, senior brother Miaohua and the others will be taught Japanese by him, and by the way, let senior brother take care of it." We have so many things to investigate and investigate, and I don’t have much time to investigate him.”
After solving two annoying problems in a row, Zhou Wen's mood immediately improved. It doesn’t matter if it’s not good, because Zhou Wen has been having a lot of happy events recently.
After the case was solved, the money collected alone was not a small amount. Part of it was handed over to his elder brother Liu Ruoshui, who had always supported him, and part was handed over to Chief Xu’s provincial government. Most of it was intercepted by him. After careful calculation, it turned out to be nearly As much as two hundred thousand dollars. The confiscated Jinxiu Garden of Hebang was bought by Zhou Wenxin's Sino-US cooperative hospital at a very low price, and it was transformed into a first-class hospital with a casual environment.
The land of Ito Garment Factory was taken over by Zhou Wen in the name of the guard. Where there is a ready-made production workshop, Zhou Wen plans to use it to build a pharmaceutical factory, and the transportation is very convenient.
Also, the gangsters in Nancheng District were successfully taken over by the awesome Niu Gang, and the police chief was replaced by Pu Zhiquan, the former Xicheng District Chief who obeyed Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen's previous plan was perfectly realized, and now Taiyuan's Xicheng District and Nancheng District are already under Zhou's control.
What made Zhou Wen even more delighted was that Delman and Hobert called from far away in Germany. The semi-automatic rifles and anti-tank guns designed by Zhou Wen have been verified and approved by Mauser. The design of the anti-tank gun is even more successful. The experimental data of the prototype gun is that it can penetrate 40 mm of armor at 200 meters and 20 mm of armor at 500 meters. It has been classified as the highest technical confidentiality level. And the sample gun has been sent to the German Army Equipment Department to win the order, and there will be news soon. The specific price for buying out the patents has been basically agreed upon.
The semi-automatic rifle was changed to a 7.9 mm caliber in Germany to match the bullets of the Mauser rifle. Named G-31 semi-automatic rifle. You must know that Germany's first semi-automatic rifle in history was the G-41 rifle that was officially put into production in 1941. Now that Zhou Wen's design patent has been obtained, it has been moved ten years ahead of schedule.
Of course, after the caliber of the rifle is changed, some minor adjustments must be made to other structures, but the German Mauser Company still pays according to the complete design patent.
The results of the negotiations from Delman are still satisfactory.
The price Mauser paid for the patent fees on the G-31 semi-automatic rifle and muzzle suppressor was 200 precision-machined 6.5 mm caliber semi-automatic rifles. Each gun comes with two suppressors and two 2.5x scopes.
In addition, there are 30 new German Ruger P08 artillery-type pistols searched by Mauser Company in cooperation with Delman, each equipped with two special silencers and four 32-round drums.
There are 10 German Mauser G-98 standard sniper rifles, each equipped with a 4x and 6x Zeiss sniper scope.
The price paid by Mauser for the patent fee of the anti-tank gun named PzB-31 is 20 newly produced PzB-31 anti-tank guns. Each gun is equipped with 2 2.5x sights and is equipped with armor-piercing 10,000 rounds of bullets including explosive bombs and armor-piercing incendiary bombs, and 20,000 rounds of ordinary bullets for training.
Although Mauser only gave 20 anti-tank guns, Zhou Wen knew that the most expensive thing was armor-piercing bullets. The cost of a 13.2 mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb was comparable to that of an 80 mm caliber mortar. Cannonballs. So in general, Mauser Company still reflects the sincerity of major companies. Of course, it is also the result of the ability and efforts of Delman, a German friend.
As for Hobert, the German engineer who participated in the design of the semi-automatic rifle, he was rewarded with large bonuses and promotions. Now he is the director of a research laboratory and will not return to China for the time being. Zhou Wen sent his blessings and thanks in his reply.
Huang Yisheng, another major figure involved in the design work, Zhou Wen could only not tell him Mauser Company's response for the time being, as long as it could be delayed until the end of the year. This is not to say that Zhou Wen should be ungrateful and act like a villain, but that the September 18th Incident that will change Chinese history will occur in September, and the Japanese will soon fully occupy Northeast China.
If the drawings were given to him at this time and he took them back to the Shenyang Arsenal for production, he would only be benefiting the Japanese in vain.
Although Zhou Wen knew that throughout World War II, Japan's military thinking was still stuck in the First World War due to its limited national strength, believing in the dogmatism of destroying an enemy with one bullet.
Moreover, the Japanese military has always been an imaginary enemy of China and other Asian countries. It believes that the existing weapons are enough to form a crushing advantage on the battlefield. In addition, considering the logistical supply problems when entering foreign operations, it is not interested in submachine guns and automatic weapons. Weapons that require a lot of bullets, such as rifles, are not taken seriously.
But Zhou Wen didn't dare to risk handing the drawings to Huang Yisheng. As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. What if the Japanese suddenly have a brain twitch and return to their normal thinking? Then the unlucky ones will be the millions of anti-Japanese soldiers in the future.
