When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 269 The Exaggerated Wet Nurse!
Upon arriving near the workbench inside, Xu Ge noticed several rifles hanging on the wall, including AKs and Type 81 rifles, which he assumed were seized at the border.

Wan Xiaofei clicked his tongue and said, "Wow, these people are pretty amazing. They can even copy our guns!"

Guo Yuanshuai gestured for everyone to place the guns on the workbench, put on his glasses, and nodded: "The person who made the forgery is indeed quite skilled."

"Squad leader, what do you mean by that?" Xu Ge skillfully rummaged through a cabinet and pulled out a bag of fruit, then started eating it himself.

Guo Yuanshuai: "The linkage between the 81-bar trigger and the firing pin is quite unique. Most people wouldn't even know about it, let alone be able to imitate it."

Xu Ge then asked, "What makes it special?"

"To put it simply, the Type 81 rifle can fire automatically without pulling the trigger after being loaded. The person who copied it even achieved this. They are truly skilled!"

As Guo Yuanshuai spoke, he began to disassemble the guns that Xu Ge and the other three had brought back.

Xu Ge was taken aback: "It can fire automatically without pulling the trigger? What do you mean? I don't understand."

Wan Xiaofei asked, somewhat puzzled, "Haven't you studied safety training? There was an incident before, and everyone in the combat unit and ordnance department must watch this case study!"

"I guess Goubao was still at Sweetwater Marine Station when the safety training was conducted."

Li Dongshui smiled and walked over, took down the replica Type 81 pistol from the wall, and handed it to Xu Ge, saying, "Turn the safety on to 2."

Xu Ge did as instructed.

The safety on the 81-bar has three positions: 0, 1, and 2. 0 is off, 1 is single shot, and 2 is continuous shot.

“Pull the trigger all the way down,” Li Dongshui said again.

Xu Ge did as instructed and asked, "And then?"

"Don't let go." Li Dongshui reached out and pushed the safety pin back to 0. "Take another look after you let go."

Xu Ge looked at the gun over and over again, and found that if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice that the trigger was actually located at the back.

"Now that this gun has no magazine, can you tell anything's wrong with it?"

"Correct!"

"In this situation, if you load a magazine with bullets and then release the safety to chamber a round, the gun will fire automatically."

Li Dongshui explained, "This is because the firing pin inside the gun is already in burst mode. No matter whether you turn the safety to 1 or 2, or whether you pull the trigger or not, the result is the same."

Xu Ge looked surprised: "You can do that?"

This was truly the first time he'd heard of it, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Shouldn't this be considered a bug?"

"So we upgraded very quickly."

Guo Yuanshuai spoke up, "The 95 and 191 don't have this problem."

"Damn, the person who copied it even copied this bug?" Xu Ge suddenly found it a bit funny.

Guo Yuanshuai was carefully examining the barrels and rifling of several guns when he frowned and said, "Their skill level is constantly improving!"

Thor immediately asked, "Squad Leader Guo, could you explain in more detail?"

"Wait a minute, let me double-check." Guo Yuanshuai shouted outside, "Xiao Xing, bring the hammer and come help!"

"Hey! The class monitor's here!"

Tang Xiaoxing, the company commander of the repair company, came running over like a young apprentice, carrying a hammer. "Which one are you working on?"

Guo Yuanshuai fixed the gun barrel firmly: "Try hitting it twice with your hammer."

Tang Xiaoxing spat on his hand, swung the hammer, and slammed it down with a "hey!"

. . .

. . .

Bang! ! !
A loud bang was heard, and the workbench shook a few times. Xu Ge even experienced tinnitus!
Then look at the AK barrel; it's been dented by Tang Xiaoxing's smash.

"Alright, that's enough. Bring the cutting machine over."

"Yes!"

Then, sparks flew everywhere.

Guo Yuanshuai and Tang Xiaoxing began cutting out the various parts.

About five minutes later, Guo Yuanshuai took off his glasses and said with a look of surprise, "I can confirm it now, all of these guns are handmade!"

Everyone:? ? ?
Xu Ge was somewhat incredulous: "Squad leader, are you saying that all these replica guns were handmade?"

"Correct!"

"Wow!"

Guo Yuanshuai beckoned everyone over: "Look at these gun barrels and bolts, the hand-made marks are very obvious, and these rifling grooves, each one has a large error. Such rough workmanship could not have been produced by machine stamping."

After saying that, Guo Yuanshuai took out a few more bullets from the magazine: "Look at these bullets, the handmade marks are even more obvious!"

Everyone was stunned: "Holy crap! You can make standard rifles for various countries' armies by hand?!"

"Squad Leader Guo, what did you mean when you said their skill level has been improving?" Thor continued to ask.

Guo Yuanshuai: "The guns you sent last time were rather crudely made; they would explode after firing a few dozen rounds. But this time it's different. They've increased the barrel's rigidity, and the rifling is more precise. I just disassembled a few bullets and found that the propellant ratio is also more reasonable than before..."

As Guo Yuanshuai was explaining in detail, Xu Ge noticed that the token had appeared on its own without him noticing.

Craftsmanship: Intermediate (3/10).

Well, I gained 2 skill points just by listening to the lecture?

Thor was still discussing with Guo Yuanshuai: "Squad Leader Guo, is the kind of steel you just mentioned only available in Stan and Tiandu?"

"How could that be? You can find this kind of scrap steel anywhere."

Guo Yuanshuai explained, “What I mean is that only people over there like to reuse waste like this. These gun barrels are all made of scrap steel, which are remelted from discarded parts from various machines. Neither their hardness nor their performance meet the standards.”

Thor frowned: "So, it's impossible to trace it from the raw materials?"

What about sales channels?

"This has been investigated before, but these weapons are all distributed level by level, making it very difficult to trace their source!"

Guo Yuanshuai thought for a moment and said, "You can try checking on people."

Thor was taken aback: "People? How do we find them?"

Guo Yuanshuai casually picked up a bullet, pointed to the polishing marks on the cartridge case, and said, "Can you see anything?"

Thor glanced at it and said, "All I can tell is that this cartridge case isn't brand new; it's been used before."

"To be precise, it was used at least three times!"

Guo Yuanshuai said with certainty, "Even the cartridge cases are reused, which shows that these people are very cost-conscious. But judging from their craftsmanship, they all have at least five years of lathe experience." At this moment, Xu Ge suddenly thought of something and said, "Squad leader, you said these guns are all handmade. How long does it take them to make one gun on average? If it takes a long time, doesn't that mean that many craftsmen are working at the same time?"

Thor realized halfway through Xu Ge's sentence: "That's right! Judging from the current situation, these people's output is astonishing!"

Guo Yuanshuai held up two fingers, and Xu Ge and Tang Xiaoxing almost simultaneously handed him a cigarette.

Snapped!
Thor lit Guo Yuanshuai's cigarette, and Guo Yuanshuai gestured for everyone to sit wherever they liked.

Seeing that Guo Yuanshuai was deep in thought, the others remained silent and waited quietly.

After a short while, with half a cigarette left, Guo Yuanshuai looked at Lei Shen and said, "Lei Zi, let me share my personal opinion, but I can't guarantee whether it will be useful."

Thor was overjoyed, knowing that Guo Yuanshuai had discovered some clue, and immediately leaned over: "Squad Leader Guo, please speak, I'm listening!"

"Ge Bao just hit the nail on the head. Such a large output couldn't be accomplished by one or two people. I suspect they must have a complete industrial chain!"

Guo Yuanshuai pondered, "Now it seems that, from raw materials to processing and then to the experimentation of finished products, if it is all done by hand, they would need at least a hundred people to guarantee this output."

"But the craftsmanship of each gun is different. In other words, they are not like assembly lines in a factory where everyone has a clear division of labor. It's more like..."

Guo Yuanshuai was searching for a descriptive term that was as accurate as possible: "It's more like a small, individual workshop, but also a cluster of small workshops."

"A cluster of small workshops?" Thor paused, taken aback.

He simply couldn't connect arms manufacturing with small workshops.

Wan Xiaofei, who had been whispering something with Tang Xiaoxing and Li Dongshui while holding the compound bow, suddenly turned around upon hearing this and said:

"I know that. We participated in a drug crackdown a few years ago. That village was like that back then. Every household was a workshop, and the production was contracted out to each household!"

Snapped!
Guo Yuanshuai slapped his thigh, his eyes lighting up: "That's it! That's exactly what I'm talking about, family-run small workshops!"

"Lei Zi, you can start investigating from this angle. Let me think..."

This is a sizable village or town, definitely located on the border or in a remote area, but not too far from the city center, because they need to purchase supplies, and there are daily gunfights in the vicinity.

There aren't many places that meet these conditions, and sending more people to investigate won't take much time. Remember to start with Stan!

Everyone was stunned. Thor asked, "Squad Leader Guo, do you think these replica guns came from Stan?"

Guo Yuanshuai nodded: "That's my personal opinion."

Thor was even more puzzled: "Why? We've been investigating the Heavenly Poison all along!"

"Making guns is a delicate craft that requires craftsmen to concentrate fully for long periods of time, and the fact that their skill level is constantly improving shows that these people are always actively learning!"

Guo Yuanshuai casually stuck his cigarette butt into the ashtray and said indifferently, "Of all the things I just mentioned, which one of them could the Heavenly Poison People do?"

Thor opened his mouth, but then stopped himself from speaking.

He thought what Deputy Squad Leader Guo said made perfect sense!

. . .

. . .

It was past four in the afternoon when I came out of the repair shop.

The area around here is different from the Qiangtang Plateau. It's late April now, and the temperature has already risen. Xu Ge and Wan Xiaofei had already taken off their thick windbreakers.

As soon as the car returned to the Hidden Wolf base, the four of them got out and saw Xu Can carrying a bag and holding a helmet, walking towards the helipad.

"Long time no see, Instructor Xu. Where are you headed?" Xu Ge greeted him with a smile.

Xu Can was also pleasantly surprised to see Xu Ge: "Congratulations, Xu Ge, it's double happiness!"

Xu Ge asked, puzzled: "Double happiness?"

"I've fully recovered, and then I passed the Hidden Wolf selection!" Xu Can looked especially happy. "From now on, we'll be real teammates!"

Xu Ge suddenly realized: "That's right, please take care of me in the future!"

"necessary!"

Xu Can exchanged a few pleasantries with the four of them, then said, "I have a mission to complete and need to go out for a bit. We'll talk again later!"

"it is good!"

Wan Xiaofei watched Xu Can's retreating figure with envy, then nudged Xu Ge: "Goubao, what a beauty! She seems to know you quite well?"

Xu Ge glanced at him: "Do you want to have a mark on your thigh like Bai Tui?"

"Hey, it's just a code name, why are you getting so worked up... Holy crap! What's that? Uluru?"

Wan Xiaofei suddenly looked to his right and exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Ge turned his head and saw a group of people walking over.

The lead nanny was carrying an oversized Gatling gun, with two exaggerated ammunition belts extending from the bolt and connecting to a huge ammunition box behind her.

"Wow! Sister Qing!"

Xu Ge immediately burst into laughter and rushed over, "Hug me!"

The nanny also saw Xu Ge and squatted down with a smile: "Come on up!"

"Yahoo!"

Xu Ge let out a strange cry and leaped onto the healer's neck, landing right on top of the ammo box.

Wan Xiaofei's mouth dropped open; he was completely stunned.

"Holy crap! If I'm not mistaken, isn't that machine gun and ammunition box from a fighter jet? No, when did this become a personal soldier's equipment? Huh? Holy crap! He can carry another person on his back! Look, look! Holy crap, he's standing up..."

Thor couldn't stand it anymore: "It's just that I'm a little stronger, is it really necessary for you to exaggerate like this?"

"Is this a big deal? This person is carrying almost half a ton of weight!" Wan Xiaofei exclaimed in shock.

Not only was he shocked, but the five team members behind the nanny also looked incredulous.

When did my boss become so kind and approachable?

You actually let someone ride on your neck?!

The nanny stood up, smiled, and spun around a few times: "Not bad, cousin, you passed the selection so quickly?"

"Absolutely!" Xu Ge slapped the ammunition box under his buttocks, making a loud thud. "Sister Qing, where are you going?"

"Oh, we have to go to Stan Country. If we don't go soon, your senior brother Niu Sanxian is going to quit! Hahaha!"

The nanny pointed to the helipad, "Zhuque will take us there."

Xu Ge was startled and quickly rolled off the bed. He looked at the nanny's Gatling gun and then at the five fully armed men behind her: "What happened to Niu Sanxian?"
