1717 New American Empire

Chapter 75: New Year's Celebration and the Problem of Mortar Manufacturing

At 8 o'clock in the evening on December 30, 1718, a strange phenomenon occurred in the Yanhuang Trading Company. Everyone living in the town was carrying red or green banknotes in front of a house of nearly 200 square meters.

Queue up. Even if the whole house is two hundred square meters huge, it can't accommodate more than ten thousand people. If it weren't for the soldiers from the escort team who were not released from the military camp, the town might not have been able to wait until the supermarket opened, and the town would have been in chaos.

.

Xiao Lin stipulated that from 8:30 to 12 o'clock in the evening on the 30th, the small town supermarket will start a big discount event. During the event, the price of all products will be reduced to 20% off the original price. This is not a lot, a product of 100 yuan,

At that time, only 80 or 20 Yanhuang coins were sold, which was enough for many people to earn for a month and a half. White people and Indians who originally just wanted to save some money for themselves had to spend all their money.

, even those in the military give all their income to their families to help with purchases.

For this reason, the supermarket was closed for a day to prepare products and revise prices. Time passed by, and everyone who had a watch stared at their watch, and those who didn't looked at other people's watches. Finally, the time came to 8 o'clock

Halfway through, the supermarket door slowly opened under everyone's eager eyes. In an instant, just like a large wave of zombies in Plants vs. Zombies, hundreds of people poured into the 200-square-meter supermarket.

"Oh, don't squeeze, my shoes."

"Don't block the road, let me in quickly, I want to go in."

"Damn it, who tickled me? What about it?"

"Mom, I want mom..."

In an instant, the scene became extremely chaotic. There were too many people, the supermarket was too small, and there was only one supermarket. Everyone wanted to squeeze in, but they were afraid that they would not be able to buy what they wanted because of insufficient time or too few products.

Xiao Lin was watching nearby and saw something was wrong, so he quickly asked the newly formed police team to come to maintain order. As a result, the more than a hundred police officers were not enough, so Xiao Lin quickly asked his uncle Apache to take his second son.

The camp came over.

Under the deterrence of the army and police, the people who were eager to buy discounted goods slowly calmed down. The supermarket did not mean to ignore the people who had not entered. After the place was vacated, some shelves contained a lot of goods.

After setting it up, several newly recruited young female cashiers worked together to build a new cashier. Now, it can accommodate a thousand customers at a time.

People in the 18th century who were waving banknotes found that there were more good things this time. Various Western snacks, coffee and chocolate were also added. There were many white people who had only heard of them and had never seen them.

The Indians just heard that these things are delicious. Now that these products are available and not expensive, they are willing to buy them and try them. People who have purchased their favorite products begin to gather in their respective working groups.

, there will also be a gala party sponsored by the company in the evening.

In the army, the dinner started early. This time Xiao Lin was bleeding profusely, and there were enough big fish and meat tubes, as well as all kinds of beer and liquor. After dinner, Xiao Lin also used a projector and started showing movies to them.

Carefully selected literary films, such as Brave Heart, can also remind them of the disgust of the nobles, allowing them to better fight with the Yanhuang Trading Company. As for Xiao Lin, he had a New Year's Eve dinner with his mother and Pearl

, and the next night we will return to the 21st century.

There was no way, the 60 mm mortar that the factory planned to suppress encountered huge problems. Originally, because of Yu Wei's existence, Xiao Lin felt that he could develop such a powerful weapon. However, Xiao Lin still

He overestimated several of Yu Wei's senior brothers and those who were new to the research group. Xiao Lin thought that his money offensive could make them succumb. But in the end, these people who were born under the red flag and grew up under socialism,

None of them have the guts to develop powerful weapons.

In fact, this is also a good thing. Because of China’s national policy and the deterrence of its powerful military, no one will be punished for causing trouble. Therefore, China can become the country with the best security on the entire planet. The annual crime rate

, far lower than the United States and other European and American countries. In the past, Xiao Lin did not understand why so many people wanted to immigrate to other countries, and he was even angry about it. However, now, he really thinks that he is in the United States. In a capitalist society,

As long as there is enough money, let them develop not only 60mm mortars, but also 150mm howitzers.

Moreover, Yu Wei also mentioned a problem. Without physical objects and sufficient specific information, they could not make it. People did not cooperate and the scientific and technological capabilities were not enough. Therefore, the 60mm mortar was not developed until three months after the project was established.

, there was still no progress. What they made was just an empty shell. After thinking about it, Xiao Lin still felt that it was possible and had to be honest. Xiao Lin specially brought a 120 mm mortar and prepared to go back.

As a reference.

Yu Wei was first invited out by Xiao Lin, and the location was in the warehouse used by Xiao Lin for material transportation. Yu Wei didn't know about this warehouse yet. Xiao Lin had always kept it secret from the outside world. Except for some important people, even Yu Wei and others

He didn't even have time to tell. Here, there was a batch of things that Xiao Lin had not transported away. Yu Wei followed Xiao Lin's prompts and entered the correct password on the password lock, then slowly went inside with a little worry.

Walk.

Xiao Lin has not come back yet. His message has arranged the time and place, just to let Yu Wei see how he has traveled through time from the 18th century. Yu Wei only received the message three hours ago. It is completely

She walked into the warehouse in confusion. Before she could see the situation inside the warehouse clearly, a blue light door suddenly appeared in the middle of the warehouse. Yu Wei was so frightened that all kinds of thoughts appeared in her mind.

, for example, aliens appear and want to take her away.

A familiar beeping sound sounded, and Yu Wei was shocked. She never thought that what emerged from the light door was actually a Dongfeng heavy truck. The truck slowly drove into the warehouse and stopped after a few minutes.

He got down, turned off the engine, opened the door, and Xiao Lin walked out. At this time, Yu Wei had not yet reacted, still looking at the truck with her mouth wide open and a dull look on her face.

"Hey, hey, have you come to your senses?"

Xiao Lin walked up to Yu Wei in a funny manner and shook her hand to bring her back to her senses.

"You, you, you..."

"Me what?"

"Are you an earthling or an alien?"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Xiao Lin really didn't expect that Yu Wei would react like this. He burst into laughter, hugged the astonished Yu Wei into his arms, and then spoke.

"This is why I asked you to come today."

"What, what do you mean?"

"During this period, the weapons, bullets, and bullet casings and grenade casings you produced have not appeared on the market. And what you saw last time was where the large quantities of materials I purchased went. Don't you want to know? You

, don’t you think it’s strange?”

"I thought you would tell me one day. I believe you."

At this moment, Xiao Lin was really warmed up. She was indeed his woman, and this attitude towards him really made Xiao Lin, who was insecure, very happy.

"Then, I will tell you everything today. It was one winter when our army received an order to eliminate a group of mercenary organizations that fled into the country. As the most elite special forces of the motherland, for this kind of task, we

I haven’t accepted it a few times. Because the ordinary mercenary team can be directly handed over to the ordinary special forces."

"Just like the Wolf Fang Brigade in the TV series."

"That's right. The reason why we were asked to attack was because the enemy was too powerful. Indeed, that time, we really met our opponents. These mercenaries were extremely well-equipped. Moreover, many of them were Americans.

The super weapons came out. However, these people are still no match for us. After three days and three nights, we discovered this group of people and completely destroyed these people in the border forest."

"What does that have to do with your current situation?"

"Because, I found this gold coin from a white man among these people. And this was the beginning of the change in my destiny. Originally, the loot had to be handed over. But, I don't know what happened, and I always felt that

, this gold coin belongs to me. Therefore, I did not hand it over."

"Ah, could it be because of this..."

"Yes, at that time, my father died of overwork and I retired from the army. The first night I returned home, I was drunk. Unexpectedly, when I woke up again, I found myself in North America in the early 18th century.

."

"Could it be that where are all the things you want shipped to?"

"Yes, at the beginning, I used the bows and arrows produced in the factory to obtain a batch of wild animal furs and gold rough stones from a group of Indians. Since then, the factory has really developed."

"Then you want guns and cannons..."

"After doing several transactions, I suddenly felt that since God has given me such a good opportunity, should I just be a resale businessman? I decided to compete with those white people there for the rich and beautiful North American continent.

,Why can’t I have the chance to get involved? And, I believe, I will be able to do countless times better than those white people.”

This is the first time that Wei Xiao has revealed his true feelings to other people. Although many people have felt his ambition, no one has ever heard him really say these things. Yu Wei is fortunate to be the first loyal person

Xiao Lin did not notice the admiration in Yu Wei's eyes.
