1840Indian rebirth

This operation sounds a bit outrageous, but in fact, the Apaches actually did this kind of thing - they captured a group of Indian captives and wanted to sell them as slaves to the Mexicans. In the end, no one wanted them, so they had to kill them all on the spot.

But that happened a long time ago, and the horse whistle only heard about it.

"Mexico has abolished slavery, and we have also abolished slavery. Naturally, the slave trade will no longer exist." Mashao smiled, "The Americans have always been the ones who really like this dirty trade."

Archuleta was quite happy with this kind of contempt for Americans and smiled a little: "That's right."

After a pause, he asked: "What kind of business do you want to do?"

"We plan to sell you a batch of weapons." The horse whistle said and brought two Browning revolvers, and they were both precision-made, with patterns engraved on them and gold and silver embellishments.

He handed the two weapons to Colonel Archuleta and the curly-haired young man beside him, and asked by the way: "Who is this?"

"My name is Manuel Chavez, the militia commander of Santa Fe." The curly-haired young man introduced himself, but his eyes were attracted by this exquisite revolver.

Ma Shao nodded and said nothing, while observing the reactions of the two military commanders.

As he expected, both of them were attracted by the Supreme Edition Browning revolver, holding it in their hands and observing it in surprise.

Especially the young militia leader Chavez, whose eyes shone brightly and looked almost like a child who got his favorite toy.

"Browning 1845?" Archuleta obviously knew nothing about this name. "Where did this gun come from?"

"Coming from an anonymous country in Europe." Ma Shao said.

Archuleta and Chavez looked at each other, feeling a little confused.

Ma Shao continued to explain: "Perhaps you don't know that although this type of revolver has just emerged, its patent has long been firmly held by an American named Colt. Only Colt can produce revolvers.

pistol."

Archuleta nodded suddenly.

In order to bypass patent supervision, a European company sells revolvers through Indian intermediaries. This sounds very reasonable.

It's impossible for the Indians to design such an apparently advanced pistol, right?

As for who this unnamed country is, the clever Archuleta finds it too easy to guess - it is obviously the British Empire.

The United States and Mexico are now at war with each other. At this juncture, Britain naturally wants to cause trouble for the United States, and selling weapons to the Mexicans is a good choice.

And unlike other European countries, the UK does not have to cross the Atlantic at all, it can be produced directly in Canada or Oregon.

Archuleta felt a little funny in her heart - she still didn't want to reveal her name, haha, besides Daying, is there a second possibility?

"This pistol looks good, much better than a pepper shaker pistol," he said. "How do you use it?"

The horse whistle took a pistol, aimed at a rock not far away, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

After a gunshot, he flipped the hammer and fired quickly again.

"Bang-bang bang bang bang!"

In just a few seconds, the horse whistle fired six bullets.

This amazing shooting efficiency made Archuleta and Chavez look a little surprised.

"You guys should try it too." Ma Shao said.

Archuleta and Chavez began to test fire, and soon all six bullets were poured out. With a burst of intensive gunfire, there were twelve more bullet marks on the rock.

"This gun is simply great!" Chavez excitedly stroked the Browning revolver, "It's simply a work of art!"

Archuleta also praised: "Indeed, I have never used this kind of gun, which can shoot six rounds of bullets so smoothly and quickly."

The soldiers behind them were also talking a lot.

"You saw, just now Colonel Archuleta fired six shots in a row with that short gun!"

"If only my brown Beth could be this fast!"

Ma Shao asked: "What do you think?"

"Very good." Colonel Archuleta nodded repeatedly, "I remember there was news the year before last. Fifteen Texas Rangers used this kind of gun to defeat more than eighty Comanches... At that time, I still

I find it unbelievable, but now I finally understand.”

Chavez held the exquisite Browning revolver tightly: "If each person is equipped with two such guns, even my militia can easily defeat eighty people with fifteen people."

Ma Shao said: "In fact, the Browning 1845 is an improved model of Colt. It is more advanced and powerful than the Colt pistol in the news."

"Really?" Archuleta asked.

"I happen to have that kind of Colt pistol in my hand. You'll know just by looking at it." The horse whistler took a Colt pistol and handed it to Archuleta.

A defective Colt pistol and a Browning 1845. Put the two together and you can instantly judge them.

Not to mention anything else, the appearance alone is a big difference, especially the one Archuleta is holding is the Supreme Edition, which is particularly beautifully made.

Colt, on the other hand, looked a little shabby.

Archuleta frowned: "Is this really the way the Texas Rangers beat the Comanches?"

"Of course." Ma Shao said, "If it weren't for the fact that Colt's pistol was too crude and primitive, it wouldn't have been noticed until 1844. He shouldn't have held so many patents at all. His existence is simply

It’s blocking the development of firearms.”

"But I think Colt must have also improved his pistol. When the war breaks out between the United States and Mexico, the Colt pistol you see will definitely be better than this one, but I can guarantee that the new Colt

The pistol is still inferior to the Browning 1845."

"The Browning 1845 is the most advanced revolver." He emphasized.

Archuleta was silent for a while: "Are you so sure that we will go to war with the United States?"

Ma Shao: "National sovereignty has always been non-negotiable, not to mention that Americans have always been greedy. They not only want Texas, but also California and New Mexico."

"A few years ago, that stupid and impatient American general even launched a direct attack on California. You should know the greed of Americans better than we do."

After a pause, Ma Shao continued: "Similarly, you must know better than us about whether a U.S.-Mexico war will break out."

Of course Archuleta knew that.

He nodded and finally said: "It's a very good pistol. As a soldier, I am absolutely willing to use it. But I think I have to ask our governor, Mr. Manuel Armijo."

However, before he finished speaking, Chavez beside him said: "There is no need to ask him for instructions."
