Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Happy Cooperation
"After-sales service? This is a new term...but it's very accurate. I need you to provide more services after selling these weapons." Seeing that Tang Mo agreed to this request, the Earl seemed to be in a better mood.He handed the weapon in his hand to the officer named Tiger, and motioned for Tang Mo to accompany him for a walk.

Just like that, the two walked shoulder to shoulder in the courtyard.Tiger held the K1 quick gun, looked at it fondly, and followed behind the earl.Behind Tang Mo, Weiss also followed closely.

While walking, the earl said to Tang Mo: "You are a smart person, and it is easier to talk to smart people. In fact, we both need support, and we all need each other's support! This cooperation is actually very important for both of us. is comprehensive."

He pointed to Tang Mo: "You need the coal and iron mines in Northridge to expand your production scale, and you also need the army in Northridge to purchase the weapons you produce."

Then he pointed to himself: "And I need your new weapon to help me win on the battlefield and stabilize my title and territory."

"Similarly, your support can allow me to gain more things, such as... the glory and status that I didn't dare to think of before." Then he pointed to himself and continued to speak.

Then he pointed at Tang Mo: "On the other hand, after you...have been fully exposed to the Cyric Group, you also need an ally who will support you and protect you from being swallowed by giant crocodiles... "

After speaking, he stopped, looked at Tang Mo, and asked, "Is that right?"

"The analysis is very thorough. I have nothing to add, Lord Earl." Tang Mo nodded, feeling that it is really a very pleasant thing to cooperate with a smart person.

He doesn't need to say too much, and the other party can figure out many joints. This kind of cooperation is very stable, and everything is under control.

The more intelligent people are, the easier it is to speculate on their behavior, so that they can have a basic judgment on the reactions of both parties.In this way, everyone has a sense of security, and it is more in everyone's interest.

The Earl was obviously very satisfied with Tang Mo, his new partner, so he stretched out his hand and said to Tang Mo, "Then... I hope we can support each other and cooperate happily."

"Happy cooperation!" Tang Mo stretched out his hand and shook hands with the Earl.

"I'm going back to Bunas today and start to expand production, but I need to bring back the deposit to maintain the normal operation of my workshop." Tang Mo felt that there was no need for him to stay here for lunch.

Earl Fischero also felt that it would be better to hurry up and implement the deployment for this kind of thing.So he nodded, and said to Tiger beside him: "You lead 30 soldiers, and go back to Bunas with Mr. Tang Mo...to guarantee the production, and help him solve any troubles. I will write a letter in a short time Let me write this letter to you, if you meet someone who doesn't open your eyes, show it to him, and the other party will always give me face."

"Obey! My lord!" Tiger pressed his palm on his chest and solemnly promised, "I will do my best to bring you a new gun!"

"I happen to know an old dwarf, he is the best craftsman I have ever seen." Immediately afterwards, the Earl looked at Tang Mo: "I will go find him in a while, and the rest of the people will start from Find the best tunes among craftsmen who repair guns."

After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation: "Let's go, let's go back to the house. I will take out all the gold coins in the city lord's mansion, there are about 450... I will prepare the rest as soon as possible, and then let people Send it to you."

"As for the food and vegetables, it's easy to handle. I still have some reserves here, so I can allocate a batch for you first." He pointed to the granary in the distance, and then looked at Tang Mo: "It's not that I'm reluctant lunch, but our time ... is precious."

"That's right! We need to fix the roof before the storm, and prepare the shotgun before the jackals break into the yard..." Tang Mo said pointedly, "Since Mr. Tiger wants us to go back together, I think the one I brought The three K1 quick guns can stay."

"You can use him, let the guards get familiar with this weapon first." Tang Mo followed the Earl into the house, and then saw several soldiers ordered to leave and go to the cellar to get the gold coins stored there.

The cooperation went very smoothly. Tang Mo drafted a contract while waiting for the earl to allocate materials and select craftsmen.Both parties signed their names on two identical contracts, and drank a little ale afterwards.

Tang Mo was always thinking in his heart, thinking about his next series of work directions: Now that he has negotiated a cooperation with the Earl, he must provide the other party with the ammunition he wants within the stipulated time.

This is his persistence as an arms dealer, or his return to the first client who trusts him.

Going back this time, what he has to do is not only to produce rifles, but also to produce the bullets for the rifles, including the armed belts used by soldiers, as well as the corresponding rifle bayonets, firearm maintenance tools and so on.

First of all, to repair and clean the barrel of the weapon, you need a brush-this thing is not easy to get, because it requires a lot of pig bristles as raw materials.

During the Second World War, China, as a bristle producer, provided a large amount of bristles to the United States and other allies, and in exchange for a large amount of weapons and ammunition, it shows the important position of bristles in modern warfare.

It was not until the synthetic brushes began to be widely used that bristles began to gradually withdraw from the stage of munitions.And even in 2021, this process of being gradually replaced is still going on.

Fortunately, the demand for bristles in the world is not so huge, so it is not so difficult to acquire some bristles.

Tang Mo was quite confident that at least 500 rifles would be equipped with brushes and other maintenance tools.So he just silently wrote down this detail in his heart, ready to go back and build a pig farm quickly, so as to store some bristles for future preparations.

Of course, he also needs to improve the furnace in his workshop and add some furnace equipment, which can increase the speed of smelting metals in order to cooperate with the subsequent production of guns.

Thinking of this, he involuntarily pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand——this troublesome thing is really a headache.

In addition, he also needs to prepare a large amount of leather. Whether it is the armed holster of the pistol series that he plans to develop, or the matching armed belt and ammunition pouch for the rifle, a large amount of leather is needed to make it.

He didn't have the preparation to launch the metal bullet directly, nor did he have the capital and financial resources, so he could only honestly produce the paper-cased fixed-loading ammunition first to support the scene.

And this kind of bullet is obviously very fragile and not easy to store.It’s okay to be in the ammunition box at the rear, especially when on the battlefield, the battle is fierce and the environment is harsh. To protect these cardboard fixed ammunition, you can only rely on the durable ammunition bag.

Manufacture of these ammunition pouches that can be strung on the belt around the waist also requires workers, but Tang Mo thinks that this kind of manual work is actually easy to find workers. Women these days are very free, as long as they are paid, they are willing to dedicate their hard work hands.

Everything depends on the steam engine that he built himself. This thing is the most important thing. As long as he has this thing, it seems that all subsequent problems can be easily solved.

Moreover, he can also make a generator first. As long as there are corresponding blueprints and theories, this thing is actually not much more difficult to manufacture than a steam engine.

The technical difficulty of the two is actually the same, so Tang Mo's workshop is likely to have power facilities in a month.

With electricity, more metals Tang Mo was familiar with could be produced, including electrolytic aluminum.It's a pity that Tang Mo can't use these for the time being. What he has to do now is to find ways to produce the needle gun and the corresponding paper shell fixed ammunition.

Just as Tang Mo was thinking about which part of the steam engine to draw first, the door was pushed open again, and a burly man who was only about 1.5 meters walked into the earl's cafeteria like this.

He had a bushy beard, exactly the same as the dwarves in the movies Tang Mo had seen.The strong man walked to the table, pulled out the chair by himself, jumped up and sat on it.

"Lord Earl, I heard that someone is looking for the best craftsman in North Ridge?" He grabbed a wooden cup, filled it with ale, and glanced at Tang Mo and Wei Wei who were sitting at the table. Si, asked in a low voice.

"Yes, old guy, I need your help." Fischero nodded, and then introduced Tang Mo: "This is Mr. Tang Mo, he made a gun that is worse than the Cyric flintlock. Better weapons."

"Phew..." After taking a big gulp of ale, the dwarf whom the Earl called an old fellow breathed out, blew away his thick beard, and said, "I really want to see it, Bish What would a good design for a Rick's flintlock look like..."

"Hahaha! You'll see you soon!" Earl Fishero laughed loudly, then pointed at the old dwarf, and introduced to Tang Mo, "He is the best craftsman in North Ridge, Mr. Matthews."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Matthews!" Tang Mo nodded, and then raised the wine glass in front of him: "We are going back to Burnas in the afternoon, you'd better get ready."

"I don't have anything to prepare, old man. I only have a set of tools. I'm just used to it." Matthews took another sip of wine for himself, then wiped the hops from his beard with his hands, and said.

Tang Mo liked the character of Matthews very much. After all, the easier Matthews was to serve, the easier it was for him to entertain.So he smiled and said, "Then please wait a little bit, sir, we will set off right away."
