Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry
Chapter 793 How is this possible?
Brother Ge happily accepted his son's kindness, and secretly sighed in his heart that his life now is much better than before.
When he was a child, he didn't know how many times he was beaten by his father just to have a bite of meat. Many times, he could only eat it during the Chinese New Year, and each person only got a small piece, no more.
It’s not like now, where you can buy a big can of food at a low price in a week, and if you eat sparingly, you can eat it every day.
At this time, Brother Ge had a bold idea in his mind: If China had not been invaded by the Japanese at this time, it would be considered a prosperous era. The people would not ask for much, just to have enough food and clothing.
The two of them ate up the ribs on the plate piece by piece, but they also left the bones to make soup tomorrow. Poor people don't have so many requirements and they have to try their best to use the nutrients in the food.
As soon as the two finished their meal, their next-door neighbor Xiao Ma came over and brought a piece of news to Brother Ge.
"Brother Ge, Mr. Zhang is back and asked me to come and inform you to go to the base for a meeting."
"Okay, Xiao Ma, you go first, I'll be there soon."
After saying this, he told his son to stay at home and he went to take care of his business first.
Xiaohu is also very sensible. Although he doesn't know what his father is doing mysteriously every day, he doesn't care about it. He is too young and can't help even if he knows.
His most important task now is to learn more knowledge and become a useful person to the country in the future. It would be best if he could become an engineer who produces weapons and produce a large number of advanced weapons and ammunition to fight the Japanese.
Their husband once told them that the reason why China was invaded was because of its weak industrial strength and poor military weapons and equipment. Ge Xiaohu always kept this in mind.
When Brother Ge arrived, he found that everyone else in the team was there, and Mr. Zhang was sitting in the main seat, holding something wrapped in black cloth in his hand, which looked mysterious.
"Now that everyone is here, I have something to announce. This may affect the way our team fights from now on. Before that, I want to show you something interesting."
As the saying goes: "A family of a thousand people is governed by one person."
Even a team like theirs that doesn't even have a name needs someone in charge, otherwise many things cannot be done at all.
Mr. Zhang deserved to be the leader because of his extraordinary talent. In this era, ordinary people have great respect for intellectuals, and Mr. Zhang is also a teacher, which makes his identity even more convincing, even though he was the last to join.
Mr. Zhang opened the package and found a wooden box inside. After opening the box, he found a sophisticated pistol, two magazines and twenty loose bullets.
"This, this is the legendary pistol. Oh my god, today we are really enlightened."
"Sir, where did you get this gun? It's a rare item. It's really beautiful. I've always dreamed of owning one."
When everyone saw the pistol in the box, they were all shocked. This kind of powerful weapon was not something that ordinary people like them could get their hands on.
After everyone calmed down, Brother Zhang asked curiously, "Sir, this pistol is not common in Shanghai. It can usually only be purchased on the black market. I heard that even a second-hand one costs over a hundred dollars, and not everyone can buy it."
"Our team's financial situation is clear. We simply can't afford such luxury items. These items are basically toys for the rich, not something ordinary people like us can even dream of."
"You may not believe this, but I rented this Gun Brand pistol."
"Rented? How is that possible?"
When they heard that the gentleman had to rent this kind of pistol, everyone present showed an expression of disbelief. If Mr. Zhang did not have a very good reputation and never did anything to deceive people, everyone would have quarreled a long time ago. How could such a thing be rented, and who would dare to rent it to them?
After a long while, Brother Ge said with a wry smile, "Sir, please don't keep me in suspense. I've heard of people renting bicycles, dishes, and even kitchen knives, but I've never heard of people renting pistols. Who would be so generous?"
"Besides, even if we can rent it, we can't afford the deposit. If we lose it completely, I guess even if we sell ourselves, we still can't pay it back."
After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement. After all, a good thing like a pistol was not something that people like them could dream of. If it was not handled properly, it would not be enough even if they all died.
Many gangs in Shanghai are ruthless to ordinary people, and any firearms that can fire are extremely scarce. No one is willing to rent them out for a few dollars, especially to a group like them that doesn't even have a name.
Mr. Zhang had anticipated the reactions of the people present. To be honest, when he first heard the news, his face was full of disbelief. It was not until he simply signed his name and easily received a pistol and more than 20 rounds of bullets with his previous credit as a guarantee that he believed it was true.
In fact, this is also one of the plans formulated by Kong Hao. Dafengtang is responsible for the affairs of the martial arts world, and our intelligence personnel are responsible for ordinary people and the market.
This is not done to make money, but to mobilize everyone's strength to fight the war together. Although there are only eleven people in Brother Ge's group, if they can kill three or five Japanese devils, that would be considered good.
As long as ordinary people strike the enemy, no matter how insignificant, the combined strength of so many Chinese people can make all invaders restless.
Of course, these are just the overt attacks on the enemy, which can be regarded as direct damage to the invaders. Killing one more Japanese soldier can save the lives of more than a dozen Chinese people.
There is also secret boycott, that is, the people do not use the industrial products produced by the enemy, so that the Japanese cannot make money in China, but instead they have to pay money into it. This can also help weaken the enemy's national strength.
Shanghai is one of the largest cities in China. Its economy and industry are extremely developed. Since being occupied by the Japanese, it has become a dumping ground for enemy industrial products and a source of raw materials.
Every day, the enemy had to use a large number of transport ships to carry coal, iron ore, copper ore, cotton, etc. looted from all over China, and then transport a large number of industrial products from their homeland, including various ironware and cloth, and sell them to the people of Shanghai at high prices, making huge profits to support the Japanese devils to continue waging war.
