Volume Five The History of Heavy Trees Chapter 779 Bet
Ke Yang, the head of Chinese weapons, could understand English but couldn't speak well. However, Xiao Yansheng, a young man who had never left the country, stood up. He studied in the Department of Mechanical Science and Technology of Tsinghua University. At this time, he was the director of the second class of the Military Science Department. He said in English with an Irish accent: "Everyone, our Chinese Ministry of Defense has brought five weapons, which are also our research results." Then he quickly let the soldiers come out, namely the m9 rifle, the c2 submachine gun, the 20 (20) light machine gun, the grenade gun, and the seven-round white fox pistol. When he was at Tsinghua University, he studied English for a year with an Irish American teacher, so his accent was slightly Irish. Fortunately, the difference in English accent was not only that everyone could not understand, but his special accent attracted the attention of many people.
"There are only these five?" Aphro said disdainfully, "Your country's R&D capabilities are a bit...backward."
Xiao Yansheng talked jokingly: "The main direction of my country's research and development is light weapons. Because my country's industrial foundation is weak, it is impossible to develop a heavy weapon at once, such as a 105mm caliber heavy artillery..."
"105mm caliber is not a heavy artillery." Aphro shook his head, "That's just a conventional artillery. Your country cannot produce cannons. Naturally, it is believed that 105mm caliber is a heavy artillery, hahaha..."
Xiao Yansheng restrained the anger in his heart and continued to pick up the m9 rifle and introduced the advantages and performance of this rifle. However, it was obvious that the people around him looked at it with a hint of contempt, especially when everyone thought that the rate of fire of this rifle was introduced. When Xiao Yansheng introduced, he said that this rifle could fire thirty bullets in one minute, which made everyone feel that he was bragging.
"Do you dare to bet?" Aphro suddenly put away his smile and said.
"What?"
"Do you dare to bet?" Aphro stressed, "If your rifle can't fire thirty rounds in a minute, you Chinese weapons manufacturers must get out of the Outlook Square."
"This..." Xiao Yansheng was not the person in charge. He dared not, but he quickly became confident in the weapon he developed and said, "I can only represent myself, because I am not the person in charge. I can bet on your behalf with you on my behalf. Our bet is. If my rifle can fire thirty bullets in a minute, you have to publish your photo in the New York Daily News to apologize, and you are going to swim across the Hudson River from Brooklyn to Manhattan. If I lose, I will do the same, how about it?"
Aphro immediately said, "Oh my God. Are you crazy? Are you going to swim in the Hudson River in November? Tell you the young man, the banks of the Hudson River are starting to freeze now, and you will die if you do this."
Xiao Yansheng immediately said: "It is unknown who wins and who loses. What if you lose? I dare to make this bet, do you dare? Or are you afraid?"
Aphro immediately sneered: "How could I lose to you? You know, the fastest-firing rifle in the world is the British Lee Enfield short rifle. His maximum rate of fire is twenty-one bullets per minute. Can your weapon surpass it? I don't believe it."
Xiao Yansheng said: "Do you dare to make this bet?"
The people around him immediately shouted, "Betting! Betting! Whoever retreats is a bitch!" Aphro was obviously very confident and said, "Okay, then we will go to the shooting range now!"
Xiao Yansheng said: "No, we just came to the Outlook Square and have not completed the registration process yet. How about the competition in three days? And..." He looked at the people around him and said: "Reporters, don't forget this bet tomorrow. Because this will be the moment when Chinese weapons become famous."
"You arrogant Chinese!" Aphro said angrily.
After Xiao Yansheng told everyone about his decision, Ke Yang immediately stopped him and said, "No, do you know what the temperature of the river water is now?"
"It's about ten degrees." Xiao Yansheng said indifferently.
Ke Yang said angrily: "Do you want your own life?"
Xiao Yansheng said: "Chief Ke, don't you believe we can win?"
"But what if, what if you lose, what if you lose?" Ke Yang said angrily, and then advised: "This game is too risky. You must know that this requires a veteran. We all don't have such veterans."
Xiao Yansheng smiled and said, "Wrong. There is really a veteran among us. He has fought wars on the Italian battlefield, Russian battlefield, and civil war battlefield. If he doesn't do it, I believe there are not many people who can do it."
"who?"
"Long Ergou, the deputy platoon leader of the tank platoon." Xiao Yansheng smiled confidently.
As Zang Hao's personal soldier, Long Ergou followed him some queens. Because the armored regiment expanded its scale, he used his power to seek personal gain and promoted Long Ergou's rank and asked him to be a squad leader. However, this kid was not suitable for command except for his accurate gun and courage. A few days later, he was promoted to the role of deputy platoon leader and went to the tank to fire machine guns. Long Ergou was very happy to do this job. He extremely despised those who were holding back their feet in the tank, and often took off his shoes and smoked everyone.
Xiao Yansheng immediately ran to the heavy weapon to look for Long Ergou, but found that the seniors in the Chinese booth in the heavy weapon area were surrounded by water. Many reporters took photos and expressed their hope that the Chinese m9 tank would perform. It was just because they had just arrived and had not communicated well with the exhibition party and had no venue performance. Yuan Zhihua could only refuse. Seeing Xiao Yansheng coming, he hurriedly took his hand and said, "Teacher Xiao, you finally came. I am so stupid and can't explain it clearly. They asked me to introduce the entire performance, configuration and structure of this tank. Hi, I don't understand it thoroughly enough."
Xiao Yansheng immediately said, "No matter how much you know, you can't say it's a commercial secret." Then he told him about his bet with a foreigner in the light weapons war zone, and borrowed Long Ergou from him. Yuan Zhihua smiled and said, "Okay, wait a moment." He whistled and shouted, "Ergou, Ergouzi, come here!"
"Don't call me my name, I'll call my name in the future!" Long Ergou ran over angrily, "Xinjiapi, I'll sue you again."
"Diede, I won't make trouble with you anymore. Section Chief Xiao has something to come to you." Yuan Zhihua said.
After Xiao Yansheng finished talking to him, Long Ergou immediately jumped up and shouted, "Okay, this is no problem. You wait, I will win. Thirty bullets... By the way, how long is a minute?" Xiao Yansheng was also extremely happy, and offered the last sentence, and was stunned, saying, "Don't you know how long is a minute of love?"
"I don't know." Long Ergou spread his hands and licked his face and smiled, "I really don't know."
Xiao Yansheng hurriedly said, "Let's go and practice now. I want to see what rate of fire you have?"
"Get it." Long Ergou said.
Several people went to the shooting range for training, but were told that the shooting range was temporarily closed, but gunshots came from inside. Xiao Yansheng asked angrily: "What's going on with that gunshot?"
The shooting range manager said disdainfully: "That is the Swedish arms company showing the performance of weapons to the South American military."
“Can’t we visit?”
"No." said the person in charge, "You are also weapon wounds, so you can't enter and find out the news."
Xiao Yansheng was so angry that he wanted to argue, but Ke Yang said: "They were deliberately making things difficult for us, these damn Americans." In order to let Long Ergou practice guns, they had to find the New York City Police Chief, hoping to find a shooting range to practice guns. For the sake of money, they were training at a private shooting range not far from the Military Expo. The results of the practice made everyone very nervous. Long Ergou's test shooting scores were not ideal several times, and the maximum shooting rate reached only twenty shots per minute. When everyone came back with a low face, they suddenly saw many reporters flocking to him.
It turns out that everyone at the Military Expo knows that the Chinese and American fire merchant Aphro are betting. Even newspaper reporters from New York rushed to interview Xiao Yansheng, who was thirty or forty people. It can be seen that New York is really a highly developed region with media. However, this news is indeed quite interesting, especially a Chinese weapon manufacturer who actually bet that its rifle fire rate exceeds that of the Li-style rifle, which is so funny. It seems that a hundred years later India is clamoring to land on the moon every day before China, and even people cannot be sent to space and thrown directly on the moon. Is India opening a magic portal?
Everyone is very interested in this bet. Crossing the Hudson River is going to die. Because crossing the Hudson River in November is not something that ordinary people can do.
New York is in the northern United States, with a latitude of 40 degrees north latitude, while Beijing is 39 degrees north latitude, which is enough to see that New York is actually higher in latitude, but New York is close to the ocean and has an oceanic climate, so the temperature is higher than that of Beijing. But this does not mean that the river water temperature in New York is also high. At this time, the river temperature is about fifteen or sixteen degrees. Crossing the Hudson River at this water temperature is simply a life-threatening one.
Americans who provided China with private shooting ranges secretly passed the news to their relatives and friends. The Chinese rifle fired very fast, but the best result was only twenty bullets per minute. This was not an automatic rifle. It was impossible for a manual rifle to reach a speed of thirty bullets. The news quickly reached the ears of others, and then Aphro also learned that he and his friends said while drinking with their friends: "You must prepare a lifeboat. I don't want my opponent to freeze to death because of betting with me, so God will not forgive me. It's really difficult. If something happens to him, as God's people, I must not sit idly by." Everyone said that Aphro is too kind, the Chinese are too stupid, and challenging impossible tasks. This is simply hitting a stone with his head.
