Chapter 210: Party Five at Sea
"With three thousand Mosin Nagans, the supply of bullets will be even more difficult. Read the full text." Bei Wei knew more about the bullet issue than they did - although all the ammunition of the Crossing Group was purchased by the North American branch, However, the usage status and ammunition inventory are top secrets known only to the Executive Committee. Although Bei Wei does not know the specific inventory of ammunition, the ammunition received by the Special Reconnaissance Team Headquarters each time has been divided into training and combat use. All reloaded ammunition using black powder was used for training. This kind of bullet not only smokes a lot, but also leaves a lot of residue after being fired, making maintenance very troublesome.
"It's difficult to make Sanqi brass. The metallurgical department doesn't make zinc brass to cover the bottom of the ship. We can also use this to make bullet casings."
"Lack of copper." Qian Shuiting works at the Planning Institute, and of course he knows the specific situation. There is a lot of zinc, and as long as the Planning Institute is willing, it can continue to increase reserves. The copper gap is huge, "Let's put it this way, electricity and telecommunications are still With today's shipbuilding, copper is an irreplaceable resource. Since the minigun's mercury flash cap and paper-wrapped minion bullets can be used, custom loading is not a top priority - besides, many miniguns are like this It’s a new product made two years ago, so it can’t be eliminated immediately.”
Several people took a general look at the weapons, and while talking, they began to move the selected ammunition to the back deck, ready to have some fun.
A few ladies on the foredeck were sitting in the hot pool, enjoying a jet massage. Along with the soft music, several people chatted while drinking tropical drinks of rum and fruit juice soda, which was very comfortable.
Selina closed her eyes and almost immersed her whole body in the water. This leisurely atmosphere was so unreal to her. She seemed to be in a resort in some original time and space. All the encounters she had experienced since time travel were like It's a dream. Tears suddenly burst out uncontrollably. She took the towel by the pool and wiped it on her head and face randomly. At the same time, she said she was going to get another drink, then got up and entered the upper cabin. Sitting on a high stool at the bar, she stared blankly out of the ship, letting her tears flow freely.
Suddenly a hand tapped her shoulder. Selina looked back, and Abebe looked at her with concern.
"It's okay, everything will be fine." Aibei said softly. Selina said "srry", tidied up a little, and then turned around and returned to normal. She was indeed a trained law enforcement officer. Aibei continued: "You don't have to worry - now you have been accepted as a formal senator. Those remarks no longer pose any threat to you. Unless someone is prepared to challenge the authority of the Senate."
Salina couldn't help but said: "But you still think that I am different from you. I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about"
Aibei interrupted her: "I know. Recognition requires a process, and we all have to adapt gradually. We will have the same idea long after we arrive in the United States, or even become naturalized. But this requires efforts from two aspects, You should learn to think and act like one of us, not as a means of making a living. Just as we had to adapt to the American way of life, now we all need to learn to adapt to the old-fashioned way of life."
Salina has actually been observing what the Travelers are doing - in her opinion, although this group of elders copied the organizational model of a socialist country and imitated the working methods used by socialist countries and political parties, under the guise of The brightly colored flags and symbols of the left were actually a far-right regime that she had never seen before. This ruling group nakedly promotes the permanent dictatorship under the Senatorial Republic. This made her very uneasy - even though she was now a veteran.
Abebe's words made Salina fall into deep thought. Although the ATF where Salina worked in the past was not responsible for handling political cases, it often came into contact with various political organizations when handling gun-related cases. But she had never seen a strange political organization like the Crossing Group. It's not that she has any sense of political correctness about democracy and freedom - it's just out of the simplest sense of protecting herself. Salina has realized that she is in a precarious situation since D-Day. From the beginning she was attacked, almost attacked, and later she had to live in seclusion in the heavily guarded Political Security Bureau compound for a long time. A terrible threat that could be her life purge at worst or be reduced to death at worst has been hanging over her. of the head.
Now that she has become a senator, at least in this regard, she no longer has to worry about personal safety and freedom. It is indeed her top priority to integrate into this group as soon as possible.
Aibeibei added: "You have your own specialties, and you don't have the same language barrier as Mendoza, and you know a lot about Chinese culture. It's not too difficult as long as you are willing."
At this time, several men came up from below carrying ammunition boxes, and the two women temporarily stopped talking. Perhaps in order to show off his muscles, Xue Ziliang did not change into dry clothes, but went bare-chested with a large bath towel wrapped underneath.
Aibei pouted like Salina: "He's pretty good."
Selina smiled noncommittally.
"It seems that you have a good impression of Guo Yi." Salina's eyes widened a little, thinking: It's rare to see people gossiping so directly.
"In my opinion, Pooh is more suitable for you than Xiao Guo." Ai Beibei said meaningfully, "After all, you have the same cultural background, so you will get along better. As for Xiao Guo, we can all understand his thoughts."
"I understand." Salina looked at Xue Ziliang on the back deck thoughtfully, "Thank you, Beibei."
On the quarter deck a few men began to joust. Bei Wei suggested not to use firearms such as AR15 - Qian Shuiting knew that he was afraid of being criticized. After all, modern bullets are rare items, and whether they are public or private, they fall into the category of shameful waste. So I just went with the flow and suggested using a shotgun to shoot the flying butterfly.
The shells used in shotguns are paper shells. As for lead bullets, black powder and firing caps, they are not the first category of controlled materials. There should be no problem in shooting these.
They started with a shotgun round. Most of the collections in North America are tactical shotguns with barrels of only about 18 inches. In order to show fairness, everyone used this short-barreled gun and left the long-barreled turkey gun in the warehouse.
Bei Wei used a Benali 2, and Xue Ziliang used a 4. They are both tactical semi-automatic shotguns. Qian Shuixie used a Saiga 12 semi-automatic shotgun. They usually use drum magazines for ammunition, but now they use five-round magazines for convenience. . Qian Shuiting uses the extremely cheap Northern Eagle 982, which is a tactical shotgun imitating the Thunderton 870 epress. Although it costs less than 200 US dollars each, it surpasses the original Thunderton 870 epress in the eyes of many people.
Because the space on the ship was small, a few people stood on the platform behind the bridge to shoot. There was an automatic and a manual flying saucer transmitter on the ship, and they used pottery dishes that Qian Shui Xie had hired to bake locally. Qian Duoduo volunteered to launch a flying saucer, but was captured by Ai Beibei.
After twenty-five shots in a round, they are evenly matched. Xue Ziliang scored 22, which was the highest level. Bei Wei and Qian Shuixie both scored 20. Qian Shuiting only scored 18, but because his gun was the cheapest, everyone didn't think it was bad.
While talking, several people turned to using spears. In order to avoid the trouble of being criticized as a waste, Qian Shuiting simply took out the replica rifles in his collection, a Spencer rifle and a Henry Martini rifle. The bullets of these two guns were not counted anyway. Not as good as "modern bullets". And it used black powder.
A few people first used a flying saucer catapult to launch a clay saucer into the sea as a target. Because the distance was too close, everyone found it unsatisfactory. Then Qian Zhouweisen set up a pile of strange-shaped junk pottery he picked up from Xiao Bailang on the breakwater. Everyone had a great time playing ping-pong-pong with their rifles.
Because many of the guns couldn't be played with, the Qian brothers felt they were bored, so they quickly packed up the bullets, collected all the bullet casings on the deck, and volunteered to start a barbecue for everyone. Zhou Weisen took a few male guests to play for a while, and everyone decided to swim and dive. In the bay, Lin Shenhe took a set of Zhou Weisen's snorkeling equipment and was actively snorkeling. Bei Wei is also very interested in diving - when he was in the military reconnaissance brigade, although he could swim 10,000 meters with arms and can also dive for long distances underwater, the conditions at that time were limited and he had not formally learned to dive. Such an opportunity is certainly not to be missed.
Zhou Weisen immediately took two sets of diving equipment from the Feiyun - because the water in the bay is very shallow, with the deepest point being less than 6 meters, he did not use a diving suit, only oxygen bottles and respirators. After some pointers on the basics, we started diving. Qian Shuiting gave him another speargun powered by a carbon dioxide cylinder. The underwater ecology of this bay has coral reefs and is rich in biological species. After Bei Wei initially mastered the essentials of diving, he shot fish with a speargun from below. However, he had no experience in shooting in the water. He fired four or five fish bladders but still found nothing. Instead, he came back with a lobster.
After happily returning to the deck and rinsing with fresh water, Bei Wei was impressed by the several North American gunners - the weapons experience and special skills of these people were very useful. When Qian Shuixie asked to join the special reconnaissance team, he was still worried about this "American young soldier". Now it seems that at least in terms of military skills, they are all excellent seed officers.
However, Bei Wei was educated by the Party. Knowing a person's true political outlook is the most important thing. Therefore, he did not say anything more. He just invited Qian Shuiting, Zhou Weisen and others to come to the special investigation team commander if they had time. We walked around, exchanged experiences with each other on using weapons, and helped train soldiers in their professional skills. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation. Your support is my biggest motivation. ,.
