Born In England

The next day, Li Lin received a telegram from Emperor Dehuang.

In the telegram, it is to continue to purchase 5 million rounds of ammunition, and 500 machine guns!

Obviously, the emperor is also afraid of Portugal's follow-up offensive, and even the old powers such as England will attack them, so it must be prepared in advance.

"Yes, another follow-up order, maybe in the next year or so, there will be more." Li Lin thought to himself. However, if the two sides fight, or even other forces intervene, there is no need to worry about follow-up orders.

Definitely a steady stream!

After breakfast, Li Lin drove this year's crude and outdated car to the Qinglong Martial Arts Hall.

Today, Li Zhi is temporarily in charge of the Azure Dragon Martial Arts Gym in Paris. At present, the number of official members has exceeded 300.

There are only a few hundred or two hundred peripheral members.

There is no way, there are too few Chinese people in Paris, and most of them are foreign students.

Unlike Liverpool, which is located at the port and has many laborers, it is easy to recruit new members.

"It's best to fight, so that I won't be short of business in the next five or ten years."

All morning, Li Lin stayed in the secret room of Qinglong martial arts training.

He wanted to upgrade to the ninth level of Qi training as soon as possible.

"Boss, are you there? There are important people outside who want to see you." Li Zhi's voice came from outside the door.

"who?"

"General Cosmo, France's Army Logistics Minister."

"Oh? Another new client?" Li Lin smiled slightly.

Soon, Li Lin saw this Cosmo in the study.

An old man in his fifties, with a tall body and sharp eyes, actually looked like he was in his forties.

"Mr. Li Lin, I'm here this time to learn more about your M2 machine gun. When can I see it the soonest?" Cosmo said straight to the point.

Yes.

Since the incident in Angola, their French attention to machine guns has also increased.

Especially after learning that De and Goose have M2 machine guns,

They are more urgent.

As for England, there is definitely no rush. They have the Maxim machine gun. Although France has been trying to imitate the Maxim machine gun in recent years, there has not been much progress yet.

In addition, they also heard that the M2 machine gun is not water-cooled, but air-cooled, which is more advanced than the Maxim heavy machine gun, which immediately made them anxious.

They also want to buy a batch back!

If others have it, they should too!

"You can watch it at any time. You can follow me to the Paris branch of my Li's Arms Company, where there are weapons exhibits to see." Li Lin said.

"Okay!" Cosmo nodded.

In the afternoon, Li Lin took Cosmo to see the M2 machine gun, and even had someone shoot it for him to see.

After reading it, Cosmo's eyes lit up.

This M2 machine gun really lives up to its reputation.

He had never seen such a powerful firearm, no wonder Li Lin was able to rub the British garrison on the ground in Singapore before.

A few days ago, the troops who won the country could also rub the Portuguese garrison on the ground.

This firepower is simply incomparable to those rifles!

"I wonder how much your machine gun costs, Boss Li?" Cosmo asked.

"1,000 pounds each." Li Lin said.

"What? 1,000 pounds apiece! Is this too expensive?" Cosmo's eyelids twitched, it was so expensive!

"General Cosmo, our machine guns are the most advanced at present. They still use air-cooling technology. They are very convenient to carry on the battlefield. Besides, the current Maxim machine guns are not cheap. They are still water-cooled, which is too bulky. Yes, so it is normal for us to be more expensive, after all, our research and development costs are placed here." Li Lin spread his hands to express his helplessness.

"..."

"Then I plan to buy 100 sticks first." Cosmo held out a finger.

He had a good calculation, bought it back, disassembled it and developed it, and quit their 'own' machine gun in the future!

Although it is said that there is patent protection these days.

But when there is a real battle, whoever tells you about patents, just make crazy.

Unless you can break his leg!

"No, no, General Cosmo, you only purchased 100 sticks. If it is so small, we will not sell it. At least 3,000 sticks will start. If it is 5,000 sticks, I can reduce 50 pounds per stick. If you buy 10,000 sticks , I can give you a price of 900 pounds!" Li Lin said.

"At least three thousand?" Cosmo almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Three thousand, that's three million pounds.

Not counting bullets yet.

"Is one thousand good enough?" Cosmo succumbed to a Chinese person for the first time.

He sent someone to investigate Li Lin before, not to mention the previous two tough British and Portuguese.

Some time ago, Wallia was convinced, and he knew that if he threatened Li Lin, it would be useless.

At worst, people just run away.

Second, he always believed that the forces behind Li's Arms Company were a bit complicated. Even if he kidnapped Li Lin, at most they would push one more person out.

If Li Lin knew the other party's inner thoughts, he would probably give a compliment: super god brain supplement!

"No way." Li Lin spread his hands.

"Okay, if we buy 3,000 sticks, can the price be discounted?" Cosmo began to grind the price.

"If you want to buy it sincerely, I will give you a discount of 10 pounds per stick, no more." Li Lin said.

"..."

The two sides continued to bargain, but in the end Li Lin refused to budge.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it first. If the higher-ups are willing to purchase, I'll come to you again."

"Okay, welcome to come next time!"

...

For the next week, nothing major happened.

Since the Angola campaign, apart from France, no other powers have come to purchase weapons.

After all, the other forces in the West are all salted fish.

In a flash, another month passed.

During the period, Cosmo contacted Li Lin once, saying that the purchase of M2 machine guns was still under discussion within Lanxi, but the results were coming soon.

this day.

There is good news from Singapore.

Li Lin looked at the telegram in his hand, feeling a little excited.

The telegram was sent by Ronald, the chief designer of the shipyard himself.

According to the telegram, the construction of the U-9 submarine is nearing completion and progress is going smoothly.

The first test voyage was conducted yesterday, and various tests and loopholes will be repaired in the next half month.

Almost a success!

"Li Zhi, come in, I'm going to release a breaking news!" Li Lin called Li Zhi in.

"Boss, what breaking news?" Li Zhi asked curiously.

"Send a secret telegram to France, Deguo, and Gooseguo, saying do you think I used some kind of weapon to sink the British seafood fleet and the Portuguese fleet? Now I plan to sell this Weapons!" Li Lin said lightly.
