Fulinmen Hotel Headquarters

After    came back, Li Fushou with a grim expression ordered the hotel to step up its guard, and quickly summoned the big shopkeepers of various branches to come for discussion.

  During this short waiting time, He Shoutian finally had a chance to speak; "Da Longtou, have they really done it?"

"Um."

  Li Fushou nodded heavily and said in a deep voice; "We must prepare for the worst, strive for the best results, and try not to do anything without doing it, and strive to seek an acceptable settlement plan through Governor Frank.

but…"

  His tone stopped for a while, and then he said word by word; "You must be prepared to hit the dog stick, and you must not be underestimated."

   "I didn't say anything, what do you want to do with the leader!" He Shoutian was tied tightly to the big boat of the Red River Valley Ranch, and could no longer get off.

  Every one is prosperous, and every one is damaged.

"The last time we ordered 300 Mauser 1871 needle firing rifles from the Germans. They were originally for emergency use. Now it seems that the time has come. You arrange for someone to quickly send 250 of these rifles to the Red River Valley Ranch. It is necessary to organize a group of people to conduct specialized military training."

   "Okay, I will make arrangements as soon as possible."

  "The remaining 50 rifles will be left with you and handed over to reliable personnel. Be careful not to use them separately."

   "Understand, there are a lot of people who shoot, and there are plenty of people."

Li Fushou's slender fingers tapped gently on the tabletop, and he considered it again and again and said; "I have an extremely bad feeling that the white forces are not doing well this time. It may not be like the last time the ranchers blocked roads and killed purely seeking money. It feels like some big people are involved. I have let people quietly follow the ambushing gunmen to see where these people come from."

   "The leader is wise."

  He Shoutian gave a word without losing the opportunity, Li Fushou ignored him and continued speaking according to his own thoughts;

"Speaking of manpower, I just won the Ludendorff Ranch today. You quickly recruited Chinese cowboys with ranch work experience through various channels. The number is tentatively set at 300. The Hongmen brothers are prioritized. Remember to examine the quality of recruiting manpower. Don't let people in with bad rumors."

  "Large leader, can I ask four hall masters from outside halls to help me do this together, so that the speed will be faster, and they will understand the nature of their opponents better, and will not make mistakes in their busy schedule."

   "Yes, you can make specific arrangements. The situation is urgent now, and everyone will be in place within a week."

   "I will do it as soon as possible. I promise that it will only be done in advance and will not be delayed."

"The German-made Mauser rifles are very good to use. You secretly order a spare batch. The quantity is tentatively scheduled for one thousand... No, two thousand. At the same time, order 500 Colt revolvers. Remember to equip them with more ammunition. I will give you a special note for this payment, and this will be done quickly."

   "Please rest assured, the big leader, Captain Ian Fleming counts the days, and his freighter should almost arrive in Queensland. I must have done this beautifully."

"Um."

  Li Fushou responded, and suddenly thought of an important question; "Uh... by the way, is there any other place to get German firearms except Captain Ian Fleming?"

He Shoutian shook his head and said, "We had only secretly purchased a batch of cutting-edge foreign guns as an emergency, and did not invest too much energy in this aspect. However, I know that the American Bank also sells a large number of guns, which is the one that ordered bulletproof carriages. A firm named Boer firm."

  "Boer firm, did the Dutch open it?"

"Uh...I don't know about this." He Shoutian was really asked, scratching his head and said; "My errandman Zhu Wei is a handy man, who speaks English very slack, so I summoned him to come over and ask. Know."

  "This is not in a hurry, does Boer have any background in the local area?"

   "Big dragon head, this...I don't know."

  He Shoutian does not speak English. After coming to Brisbane for almost 5 months, he can only stammer and say a few common words. The exchanges with foreigners are all through the translators. The understanding of the situation can only be superficial.

  Li Fushou had no choice but to wave his hand and say; "Go and call that name!"

   "The big dragon head is Zhu Wei."

   "Okay, go ahead, and don't know what to ask, you really need to learn English well."

   "Yes, I must work hard to learn."

  He Shoutian wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and retired with a look of embarrassment, and gently closed the door intimately.

  Li Fushou looked at all this speechlessly. Although he was not satisfied with He Shoutian's mediocre qualifications, he was the first to follow him, and he was loyal and reliable enough to do things well.

  Even if a daughter buys horse bones, it cannot be abandoned.

  In these days, talents are so easy to find, and you have to cultivate them by yourself.

  Recalling the dangerous experience in the afternoon, Li Fushou couldn't help but sweat again.

  These greedy white robbers don't look good at others, and they want to kill me!

  Knowing this, there is no luck in my heart.

  It is about 37 kilometers from Queensland to the Red River Valley Ranch. 28 kilometers ahead, it enters the mountainous area with ridges and ridges. It is part of the Red River Mountain Range and stretches into the distance.

  The Red River Mountain Range separates Brisbane from the Red River Valley Ranch. Only by crossing these ten kilometers of mountains can you reach the site of the Red River Valley Ranch.

  The abundant Brisbane River rushes out of the valley and leads to Moore Bay, which borders Brisbane City. Only a mountain road along the river can pass.

  There are steep cliffs on one side and the rushing Brisbane River on the other. The mountain roads are winding and narrow.

  It is not realistic for a large group of horses to set up ambushes on mountain roads. As long as the carriage is horizontally racked with Gatling machine guns on the road, how many people come will be for nothing.

  Therefore, from the Red River Valley Ranch to the Brisbane city, only after stepping out of the mountains can you set up ambushes in the densely vegetation hilly areas.

Fook Lam Moon Hotel has been unremittingly paving roads with cinders. It stretches out from Brisbane city for nearly 18 kilometers. Almost all of them are spacious and solid cinder roads. No matter it rains or snows, they can walk without hindrance and can be used for horse-drawn carriages to gallop at high speed. , It is very difficult to intercept a carriage with a large number of guard gunners.

  After entering Brisbane city

Fook Lam Men Hotel has opened 7 stores, of which the 6th and 7th branches are located outside Chinatown. The whole city is a little bit bigger. As long as you hear the gunshots, you will quickly come to support, and the fastest will not exceed 10 minutes.

  As for the vicinity of Chinatown, it is even more immovable. It is tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest.

In summary

  The best place to ambush should be the section of the road where no cinder road is paved before entering the mountains, a total of about six or seven kilometers of muddy dirt road.

  The carriage cannot run on this section of the road, the gangsters can quickly catch up...

  As long as the plan is careful, the prey is hard to fly.

  Facts proved that Li Fushou was right. Smith still chose to set up an ambush on this section of the road. The comfortable life of Queensland Ranch has degraded people's thinking. A little more complicated strategy can not be thought of, so he directly adopts the simplest and rude method.

  Guessed the enemy's plan, the rest is very simple.

  Take a strategy of repairing plank roads in the open and keeping secrets in the dark.

The gunmen of the    group of gunmen escorted the carriage out of the mountain road and stopped to rest. They did not move for a long time, attracting the attention of the ambush gangsters.

  Li Fushou took a few henchmen, Qingqi, hurried forward, bypassing the hilly area and hurried back to Brisbane first, and suddenly appeared at the auction...

According to the plan

The carriage guarded by the gunmen of the    group will stay for a while, then turn around and return to the Red River Valley Ranch, without direct conflict with the enemy, leaving only a few hidden piles.

  Wait until the culprit shows up and quietly traces it to find out the real man behind the ambush.

  When Li Fushou and a few people led horses around the hills, they found a large group of gangsters hidden in the bushes from a distance, the number of which was far more than a hundred, and the startled heartbeat slowed by a beat.

  Sure enough, it is an extremely vicious trap. Fortunately, this string has already been tightened in my heart. It is a blessing to invite heaven!
