Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

"These events are also a good opportunity for us. According to the news in the newspaper, the enemy's pseudo-76th Special Agent Headquarters also suffered heavy losses last night. It will definitely take a long time to recover to its original level."

"We can definitely take advantage of this opportunity to clean up those gangs that have sided with the Japanese, especially our sworn enemy, the Poison Scorpion. They've relied on Number 76's backing to suppress our Tiefengtang. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once we severely damage the Poison Scorpion, it will be great news for the people of Shanghai."

When they heard that they were going to take action against the Poison Scorpion Gang, everyone started whispering to each other again. The Poison Scorpion Gang had defected to the enemy a long time ago, and relied on the power of the Japanese to bully men and women everywhere, acting tyrannically. Ordinary people dared not speak out.

In addition, the members of the Poison Scorpion Gang are all ruthless and cruel, and ordinary gang forces are no match for them. The Iron Blade Gang has clashed with them many times, but they all ended in failure because of the involvement of people from No. 76.

If we can really take this opportunity to solve this serious problem, it would be the best thing ever.

But then the military advisor poured a bucket of cold water on everyone, which completely calmed down everyone's originally excited mood.

"Everyone, even if Number 76 is too busy to take care of the affairs of the martial arts world right now, the Poison Scorpion Society itself is very powerful. The most important thing is that they have obtained a lot of weapons and equipment through Number 76's connections."

"According to our insider, the Scorpion Gang recently spent a fortune on one hundred submachine guns, twenty large-caliber rifles, and five submachine guns. Oh, and they also bought a secondhand Czech light machine gun on the black market. Together with their existing weapons, they have at least five hundred functional firearms."

"But on our side, we have less than two hundred firearms of all kinds, and most of the brothers are holding cold weapons. Normally, we can handle a conflict between a dozen or so people, but if the two gangs go to war, we will suffer greatly."

The captain anxiously inquired, "Why are there so few left? I remember there were over 300 at the beginning of the year. It's only been a short time, and already 30% are gone. If we don't have enough firearms, how are we going to fight those bastards of the Scorpion Gang? You know, no matter how powerful our swords are, they can't stop bullets."

At this time, the military advisor could only be heard saying in a bad mood, "This is all your fault. All you do is fight and kill. Every time after a fight with the Poison Scorpion, you never have time to clean up the battlefield, and many weapons are lost bit by bit."

"Especially your First Branch. You always attack fiercely and charge hard, and you always suffer the most losses."

The captain knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to argue with the military advisor. He just muttered quietly, "If we don't have guns, we can go buy some. As long as we have money, we can buy any weapon."

Captain Hu, standing nearby, quickly added, "If only it were that simple. The price of handguns on the black market is constantly rising. Even a common second-hand Mauser pistol costs over a hundred dollars, and new ones are even more expensive."

"This isn't the most critical issue. The most troublesome issue is the ammunition. Ammunition has been priced so high it costs three dollars a round now. Most people simply can't afford it."

"And if you want to train a qualified gunman, you need a lot of bullets. Otherwise, a novice holding a pistol will be worse than a broadsword."

"While training with a broadsword requires only finding a secluded spot, practicing with a gun isn't so easy. The sound of any gun firing will easily attract attention. We can use firecrackers as an excuse, but who would set off firecrackers every day? That would be self-incriminating."

"On the other hand, the Scorpion Society has no such concerns. They simply obtain a large amount of cheap bullets from No. 76 and then train their marksmanship recklessly. We simply cannot match them."

"Fortunately, the Scorpion Society has offended too many people, so they didn't use all their energy to deal with us, otherwise our situation would be even worse."

In fact, the brothers of Tiefenghui are well aware of this situation, and there is nothing they can do about it. In this time of crisis, they must not make unnecessary sacrifices, so most of them act in secret.

For example, half a year ago, two passionate warriors assassinated a Japanese lieutenant colonel in Shanghai. In order to give an explanation to their superiors, the Japanese Special High Section and the No. 76 agents hunted down the two warriors with all their might and even offered a sky-high reward of 10,000 oceans. Anyone who provided relevant information could get 500 oceans.

You have to know that five hundred dollars in that era was a huge sum of money, and an ordinary person probably couldn't earn it in a lifetime.

But what disappointed the enemy was that, apart from some ruffians and lazy scoundrels, few ordinary people in Shanghai participated in it. Most people did not want to make money by doing something against their conscience. If they really encountered it, they would even take the initiative to help cover it up.

Some gangs who sincerely surrendered to the Japanese and became traitors mobilized a large number of people to cooperate with their masters to capture our heroes.

Similarly, our intelligence personnel from the Military Control Commission and the Central Control Commission at the time were not willing to be outdone and chose to take action. Even many gangs with the interests of the country and the nation participated.

It was a dark night. The two warriors fled to the concession. However, the Japanese pursuers arrived soon after and the two sides fought a fierce battle in the concession.

The people from Tiefengtang also participated in that battle, and even lost seven lives. More than twenty brothers lost limbs. In the end, after paying a heavy price, they successfully evacuated the heroes safely.

Afterwards, everyone in Tiefengtang felt that even if they paid such a price, it was worth it, and no one complained.

For the brothers who died, each of them received one thousand dollars as resettlement allowance, and their whole family would be properly resettled. Those who lost limbs would also receive three hundred dollars, and the gang would be responsible for taking care of these wounded for the rest of their lives.

As for those who participated in the operation that day, they all received one hundred dollars, and there would be additional rewards for those who killed important enemy targets.

It is precisely because of this that the Tiefengtang's assets have been drained. Now, even if they want to buy guns and ammunition and fight with the Scorpion Society, they cannot do it.

Moreover, once this opportunity is missed, it will be even more difficult to deal with the scum of the Scorpion Society when the people of No. 76 recover their strength.

Finally, after much discussion, everyone unanimously decided to buy more weapons and ammunition. Nowadays, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of pistols. Many heroes have died from close-range pistol shooting. The bullets fired by pistols are too fast, and no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you can't avoid them.
