1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 105 [British Empire that does not want to be named]

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

But that was a long time ago, and Horse Whistle had only heard about it.

"Mexico has abolished slavery, and we have also abolished slavery. Naturally, there will be no more slave trade." Ma Whistle smiled, "It has always been the Americans who really like this kind of dirty business."

Archuleta took advantage of this contempt for Americans, and smiled a little: "That's right."

After a pause, he asked, "What business do you want to come here?"

"We're going to sell you a batch of weapons." As the horse whistle said, he brought two Browning revolvers, and they were exquisitely crafted, 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 chief of Santa Fe." The curly-haired youth introduced himself, but his eyes were attracted by this exquisite revolver.

Ma Shao nodded without saying anything, while observing the reactions of the two military chiefs.

As he expected, both of them were attracted by the supreme version of the Browning revolver, and they held it in their hands and observed it in surprise.

Especially the young militia chief Chavez, with his eyes shining, he looked almost like a child with a favorite toy.

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

"From an unnamed country in Europe," said Ma Shao.

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

The horse whistle continued to explain: "Maybe you don't know yet, although this revolver has just emerged, its patent has long been firmly grasped by an American named Colt, and only Colt can produce revolvers. pistol."

Archuleta nodded in amazement.

It sounds reasonable for a European company to sell revolvers through Indian intermediaries in order to get around patent regulations.

It can't be that the Indians themselves designed this kind of pistol that looks very advanced, right?
As for who this unnamed country is, the clever Archuleta thinks it is too easy to guess-obviously the British Empire.

The United States and Mexico are now at war. 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, just produce directly in Canada or Oregon.

Archuleta felt a little funny in his heart—he still didn't want to be named, hehe, besides Daying, is there a second possibility?
"It looks like a nice pistol, much better than a pepperpot," he said. "How does it work?"

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

"boom!"

After a single shot, he cocked the hammer and fired again rapidly.

"Bang—bang bang bang bang!"

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

Archuleta and Chavez couldn't help showing a bit of surprise at this powerful shooting efficiency.

"Come and try it too," said Ma Whistle.

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

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

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

The soldiers behind them were also talking about it.

"As you can see, Colonel Archuleta fired six shots in a row with that short gun just now!"

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

Ma Sen asked: "How do you feel?"

"Very good." Colonel Archuleta nodded again and again, "I remember that there seemed to be a news last year that 80 Texas Rangers used this gun to defeat more than [-] Comanches... At that time, I thought Unbelievable, now I finally understand."

Chavez clutched his exquisite Browning revolver: "If each man is equipped with two of these guns, even my militia can easily defeat eighty men with fifteen men."

"In fact, the Browning 1845 is an improved model of the Colt, which is more advanced and powerful than the Colt pistols in the news," said Horse Whistle.

"Really?" Archuleta asked.

"I happen to have that kind of Colt pistol in my hand, you can see it when you look at it." The horse sentry took a Colt pistol and handed it to Archuleta.

Defective Colt pistol, Browning 1845, put the two together, and the judgment will be judged instantly.

Not to mention anything else, the appearance is quite different, especially the Supreme Edition that Archuleta is holding in his hand, which is especially beautifully made.

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

Archuleta frowned. "Is this really the kind where the Texas Rangers beat the Comanches?"

"Of course." Horse Whistle 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. It is blocking the development of firearms."

"However, I think Colt must have improved his pistol. When the war broke out between the United States and Mexico, the Colt pistol you will see must be better than this one, but I can guarantee that the new Colt The pistol is still no match for the Browning 1845."

"The Browning 1845 is the most advanced revolver ever made," he emphasized.

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

Horse whistle: "National sovereignty has never been 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 directly attacked California. You should be more aware of the greed of the Americans than we are."

After a pause, the horse whistle continued: "Similarly, you must know better than us about whether the US-Mexico war will break out."

Of course Archuleta knew.

He nodded, and finally said, "Very nice pistol, and as a soldier I would absolutely love to use it. But I think I'll have to ask our governor, Mr. Manuel Amijo."

However, before he finished speaking, Chavez beside him said, "You don't need to ask him for instructions."
