    560our goal

    The Manchus made a strange firearm.  As a lackey of the Australian Overseas Intelligence Center, Tiandihui immediately handed over the firearms it received.  Then the intelligence department's arms experts tested the performance as quickly as possible. The accuracy was slightly worse, the range was not weaker than the m1644, and the power could only be described as terrifying.  In fact, this kind of firearm can no longer be classified as a firearm according to its caliber, but as a cannon.

    Based on the sporadic information obtained from the front, arms experts conducted several field launches according to the Manchu and Qing methods.  One person carries the gun on his shoulder and the other fires it.  Detailed test data was quickly sent back to Australia and placed on the desk of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as soon as possible.

    "The world is affecting us, and we are also affecting the world." Shao Bei looked at the sketched gun pattern with interest and said, "Why does this thing look so like a gun from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"

    "This is how to lift a gun!" Xiao Baitu, who has become slightly fatter, said with some worry: "Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not found a way to fire flintlocks, this thing still uses a match rope, but from the caliber to the firing method, there is no doubt.  This thing is just raising a gun. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s weird?¡±

    "Weird?"

    "Yes, that's right. Think about it, the wild boar skin in 1649 will invent the gun-carrying machine invented by future generations two hundred years later Could it be that this is genetically destined?" Xiao Baitu said in surprise.  .

    Shao Bei just shrugged, what else could he say?  In fact, the emergence of the gun was entirely a helpless move by the Manchus.  If you cannot make a qualified barrel, you can only increase the caliber.  If you can't engrave rifling, you can only use smoothbore.  Along with the increase in weight, the recoil force increases then more manual operation is required.  Just like two hundred years later, the Manchu Qing Dynasty creatively invented the gun lift to fight against more sophisticated firearms.  It's just that two hundred years later it was to fight against the European powers and Changmao, but now it is to fight against the Australian and Ming coalition forces.  In essence, raising a gun is a completely helpless act.

    "But this is enough for us to breathe a sigh of relief." Xiao Baitu said with a smile: "It has been spreading wildly for two years, saying that the Manchu Qing invented a powerful firearm. Good guy, we lost so many agents, not only did we not get the sample,  I didn¡¯t even see a shadow. I really thought the Manchus had invented the AK47, but it turned out that the *** raised the gunit¡¯s shabby!¡±

    Shao Bei laughed.  Like all people in power, time travelers like to have control of situations.  They don't like things to be out of control, which makes them feel very insecure.  The situation between the Ming and Qing Dynasties was like this, and the development of science and technology in the world was also like this.

    So when the Manchu Qing boasted that they had built a firearm comparable to the m1644 rifle, everyone became nervous.  Some people even began to wonder whether there were time-travelers who had strayed to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.  You must know that no one on the upper deck of the COSCO Nova still knows what happened to them during that bizarre journey.  Even if they are not on the same ship, they may have slipped in from another time and space rift.

    Having been in this time and space for seven years, they have already regarded this time and space as their own private property.  As expressly stipulated in the Australian Constitution, private property is inviolable.  Anyone who tries to get involved will definitely become the life and death enemy of the Chuangzhong.

    This has nothing to do with whether the time travelers are fighting for world hegemony.  Although in the eyes of most people, fighting for world hegemony is a laborious and extremely brain-dead idea.  So this can be understood as an enclosure movement for big cats.  Under the influence of hormones or the desire for control, the Travelers have defined their sphere of influence.  Where the circle is, it¡¯s a question of whether to pass through the crowd, but others can¡¯t grab it.

    It sounds like nothing, but there is never any truth in this world.  If this world was reasonable, I'm afraid it would have been destroyed more than once.

    "War is the source of human progress." Shao Bei commented casually.  Although sometimes he hates this sentence, he can't find a suitable reason to refute it.  Because throughout the history of mankind, it is a history of wars that broke out for various stupid reasons.  Shake your head, don't think about this stupid question.  Shao Bei frowned and asked: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything I seem to remember that I broke up with you?"

    Xiao Baitu smiled happily. Mr. Xiao, who had just celebrated his thirty-fifth birthday, stood up with a belly as if he had been pregnant for ten months and said: "I just told your son a few words of truth. What's the matter?  ? But having said that, what can Nanming do this time? You know, I have just established a mining company and have taken a fancy to the Ma'anshan mining area."

    "Ma'anshan seems to be in the south of the Yangtze River. Does this war have anything to do with it?" Shao Bei asked strangely.

    "This will affect the confidence of investors!" Xiao Baitu said shamelessly.

    Shao Bei was stunned for a moment, and then he realized Mr. Xiao's dirty thoughts.  This guy is planning to build some kind of coal-iron complex, it's clearlyUse the vision blueprint to make money!  Speaking of which, this guy seems to have been inspired by Shi Wenbo?

    Shi Wenbo, Ming¡¯s financial advisor, has been making waves in the exchange since he arrived in Batavia.  Use gorgeous words, vague prospects, and even non-existent wonders to confuse those poor Dutchmen.  Then the pieces of waste paper were exchanged for real gold and silver, and gold and silver were transported to Australia ship by ship.  Then use bank transfer to exchange the gold and silver into weapons and ammunition and transport them to Nanming.  This is just a theory In fact, Shanghai has a large amount of arms stockpiled, and there is no need to ship them from Australia.

    So to a certain extent, Shi Wenbo is also playing triangular trade.  It's just that this guy is playing with the concept of triangular trade.  This further triggered a conflict between Shi Wenbo and Xu Nanying.  As a graduate and practitioner of finance majors, there are huge differences in concepts between the two.  Shi Wenbo believes that there is nothing wrong with the virtual economy, while Xu Nanying hates all virtual economies

    Of course, all this has nothing to do with Mr. Xiao.  Based on Shao Bei's understanding of this guy, it seems that as long as it puts in less effort, makes more money, and has low risk, it is a good business.  Now that Swinburne, a master of speculation, is blocking the way, it's a good time to make money in Batavia.

    Seeing Shao Bei's businesslike appearance, Mr. Xiao said shamelessly: "Come on, Shao Bei, don't show off. I know you too well, there must be something you are hiding from me."

    ¡°I really don¡¯t know how far Nan Ming can hit.¡± The reason is the same as before.  Nanming was not ready, and had not even completed the substantial central unification.  There are not enough troops, not enough officials, and there is no improvement as a whole.  Even if the army put down their swords and spears and picked up their spears, this still could not cover up the musty smell that could be smelled as far away as the southern hemisphere.  "But the Australian Parliament has approved a new set target our target."
