Chapter 1485: The source of historical upheaval, the mother of industry
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly?"
Hearing that the old driver said he had something to say, Liu Shiba's heart tightened and he asked in a cold voice.
The veteran driver looked embarrassed and hesitantly walked to Liu Shiba's side and whispered:
"Before you decide to go to the entrance of the underground palace, I just thought of leaving a few gadgets that I made in my spare time to the general guarding Noda Castle, Nizi Jiujiu..."
Liu Shiba's heart moved, and the secret secret show was finally here. The gadget he mentioned was probably a manifestation of the veteran driver's hard power, right?
"Oh? What kind of gadget makes you so nervous?"
Liu Shiba smiled softly and said with suspicion on his face.
While talking about Liu Shiba, he looked sideways at the old driver, feeling a little nervous for no reason!
"Ahem!"
The old driver coughed again and said with a wry smile.
"It's nothing, I left behind a few imitation Gatling, water-cooled heavy machine guns.
The workmanship is quite rough, but it is absolutely sturdy and durable... In addition, it is also equipped with tens of thousands of rounds of large-caliber ammunition that is barely standard..."
"Um, your dog uncle..."
Liu Shiba was stunned, gritted his teeth and cursed angrily:
"No wonder there is no movement. Noda Castle must be impregnable with the Gatling you left behind.
With the current primitive cold weapons, it is impossible to break through Noda Castle with its high walls and thick walls."
"That's right!"
Hearing this, the old driver happily stroked his mustache and seemed a little proud.
Liu Shiba had something in mind, frowning and squinting at the old driver, speechless...
Li Ergou interrupted:
"If Maori Shengyong brings those well-equipped 38 infantrymen and suddenly counterattacks from the outside, it is even possible to defeat Oda Nobunaga's coalition forces, right?"
The old driver and Liu Shiba looked at Li Ergou who was speaking at the same time.
"Uncle Ergou, what do you want to express?"
Liu Shiba also seemed to have thought of something, but he still continued to ask patiently.
Li Ergou cleared his throat and was about to say something, but Cuihua took over the topic and explained:
"What Ergou means is that if Katsunaga Mori defeats Oda Nobunaga, relying on veteran weapons such as weapons that far exceed the world's technology at that time, the course of history will really change.
Think about how the Japanese dealt with the Chinese during the Second World War in that time and space. Do you think we, the Chinese, suffered less humiliation and misery from the Japanese in the past?"
The proud expression of the old driver froze in an instant...
Liu Shiba turned his head and stared at the old driver, and said solemnly:
"What Aunt Cuihua just said is actually what I was planning to say to you..."
The old driver shook his head and said with a smile:
"Those Gatling weapons with rough workmanship and high-intensity warfare will be scrapped after just two uses, so there will be no worries."
Zhu Huan'er, who was behind everyone, took over the conversation with a sneer:
"You can imitate it just by relying on your memory. I have a few scrapped objects as a reference. I just copy a cat and imitate a tiger. Isn't it possible to imitate it?"
Indeed, this is a problem, the old driver frowned slightly...
"wrong!"
Liu Shiba felt cold in his heart, looked up at the old driver and blurted out:
"Old Tomson, did you forge those precision parts in the Gatling by hand?
I remember you once said that in order to imitate the 38 big cover, you built a rough small machine tool..."
"Yes - there is one!"
The veteran driver's vision was a little distracted, and he was somewhat reluctant to do so.
"Asshole?"
Liu Shiba cursed angrily and added:
"You're right. It's impossible to imitate just a few Gatling machines, but with machine tools, everything is possible."
Solanta smiled at the end:
"Selling ointment! I now believe that Japan will defeat the United States in World War II.
What does machine tool represent? It is the original starting point of heavy industry and the mother of industry..."
Liu Shiba looked at Solanta who was speaking, turned to face the old driver and asked:
"Let me ask you, what about that simple machine tool? Have you ever destroyed it?"
At this time, the veteran driver also realized that the consequences of this matter were serious, far exceeding his expectations, and said with a solemn expression:
"What should be used to destroy it? Do you think a machine tool can be broken into pieces with a kitchen knife or a samurai sword?"
Liu Shiba narrowed his eyes and said:
"Use a kitchen knife? Is this a dream! The smallest machine tool is as big as two or three meters. It is not easy to destroy it. The only way is to hide it!"
Let me guess, you must have buried it on the spot, right? And since you couldn't handle this big thing by yourself, you also asked the local people for help, right?"
The veteran driver nodded and responded:
"Yes! You are right, that thing is made of pig iron and is very heavy. I recruited five or six strong, dull and honest Japanese young people to dig a hole and bury it on the spot."
Liu Shiba took a breath and sneered:
"Not bad! If you change the course of history because of this thing, you will be China's biggest sinner."
Cuihua walked forward slowly, grabbed the old driver's ear, and said sternly:
"It's not over yet. What about the people who helped you bury them? How did you deal with them?"
The old driver's expression became condensed, and he shook his head and said:
"Nothing has been done about it! But I gave each of them a few gold leaves as hush money. Those people are timid and fearful. If they get a lot of money, they will probably disappear and go away to other places."
Liu Shiba said helplessly:
“For the person with the highest authority, I have the final say on my own territory, so how can there be any secrets?
It's even more of a joke to disappear. Have you forgotten that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward?
If Katsunaga Mori led his troops to seize the opportunity to defeat the Oda coalition forces in one fell swoop, and returned to Noda Castle to meet the Governor of the Takeda family, those generals would definitely understand that the key to victory was the Gatling water-cooled machine gun, the weapon used to defend the city.
And in the end, the military generals and staff of the Takeda family cannot find us, so there will no longer be any constraints on the Takeda family, and Japan's history will undergo earth-shaking changes..."
"What should we do?"
The old driver had a sad face and looked helplessly at Liu Shiba.
Liu Shiba raised his hand and patted the old driver on the shoulder, comforting him:
"Actually! This is just my wishful thinking and the worst plan.
Maybe everything goes as you wish, those people took the money, disappeared and enjoyed their happiness, and will never be found again?"
While they were talking and discussing countermeasures, the two forgotten servants Uesugi Kagetora and Yagyu Shizumo standing behind Liu Shiba seemed to understand the meaning of the conversation between their master Liu Shiba and his subordinates, and finally looked at each other secretly.
One glance...
……………………
Now, even if you regret it, it's too late...
Liu Shiba turned around, looked at Penglai Immortal Pavilion, then looked at the gloomy backyard, and said in a deep voice:
"It is no longer realistic to return to the ground to destroy the machine tools, because it will take at least four days to come and go. Maybe opportunities and luck have changed."
Li Ergou and the veteran driver said in unison:
"What should we do?"
Cuihua patted their arms and said with a sweet smile:
"Don't worry! The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge, and the car will have a road before it reaches the mountain!"
Listen to what Shiba said, let’s just do whatever we want... It’s so tiring to use your brain!”
