Although it is said that weapon designers have designed submachine guns during World War I, both the technology and related tactics are still at a very early stage.

At that time, some British military officers thought that it would be a disaster to give this automatic weapon to recruits. It was meaningless except to waste bullets. They still stubbornly used the bolt-action Lee Enfield.

In fact, even though all the belligerent countries suffered big losses in World War II, only the Soviet Union and the United States carried out large-scale popularization and equipment of automatic weapons.

The Soviets are fully aware of the benefits of this kind of automatic weapon, while the Americans have a big business and have a strong enough logistics so they can afford it.

The British did not fully realize the power of the submachine gun until after the Dunkirk retreat, and then modeled the German MP40 to create the Sten.

Although the Germans themselves were the first country in the world equipped with submachine guns, their usage was to issue submachine guns to elite veterans or infantry squad leaders. It was not until the end of the war that they mass-produced people's submachine guns in order to save the defeat, with the intention of arming a large number of people. The people came against the Allies.

Of course, these things will not happen until more than ten years later, during World War II, and it is still 1925.

Even those Americans who came to "archeology" basically carried revolvers, the traditional populism of Americans, and even O'Connor was no exception to this point.

So O'Connor was very surprised when Ida Wang took out a submachine gun and a semi-automatic rifle from his backpack.

"This is... a submachine gun? I've never seen this model before. Is this made in the East?" O'Connor picked up a submachine gun, took a look at it from the magazine, and asked Ada Wang curiously. inquiring.

"This is a sponsorship from a weapon research institution. My trip to Egypt was sponsored by them, and these weapons are part of the sponsorship." Seeing O'Connor's curiosity, Chen Mo suddenly made up a short-term idea for him. A piece of nonsense explained: "This is a very powerful weapon research institution. These automatic weapons are their main products. They believe that in future wars, automatic weapons will replace traditional bolt-action rifles on a large scale and become the new darling of the army. .

So they designed these new weapons, asked me and my assistant to carry self-defense, and also helped them test whether the new weapons were easy to use. "

"But automatic weapons..." O'Connor looked at the submachine gun over and over in his hand, perhaps because he had never used it before, he asked rather puzzled: "Aside from wasting bullets, what are the advantages of this kind of thing?" ?"

Regarding this question, Chen Mo just shrugged his shoulders and made a hand gesture: "I'm not a weapon expert, I don't know how to explain it to you, I'm just a scholar."

"Well, maybe I should actually use it to know whether this gun is good or bad." Seeing Chen Mo's answer like this, O'Connor knew that he had asked Yu Blind, so he had to tell Ada Wang After saying thank you, I accepted a miniature submachine gun and two magazines.

As for Ada Wang himself, he picked up a semi-automatic rifle equipped with a red dot sight and a muzzle brake, hung a miniature submachine gun on his waist, and prepared a rocket launcher by his side.

Seeing her fully armed, Chen Mo couldn't help picking a semi-automatic pistol from the large bag of firearms he brought as his self-defense weapon.

After everyone selected their weapons and armed themselves, they sat around the campfire and began to enjoy their dinner.

Because they were worried that the pharaoh's guards would come back to attack, the wine that Jonathan bought was obviously not suitable for sharing at this time. They just baked some Egyptian flatbread and served it with dried meat boiled in water for dinner.

This kind of flatbread is the staple food of local Egyptians. As far as Chen Mo knows, this kind of flatbread is even subsidized by the Egyptian government.

The Egyptian government imports a large amount of wheat every year and invests a lot of financial expenditure, so that this flatbread can be as cheap as 20 cents each, maintaining the basic living security of a large number of Egyptians.

But this is unimaginable now.

On the one hand, the Egyptian government, which is still controlled by the British, is not so generous. On the other hand, it is also because the current Egyptian agriculture is still relatively developed. The regular flooding of the Nile River has brought fertile silt to the land on both sides, allowing Egypt’s agriculture to be maintained. , does not require a large amount of imported grain.

In fact, until the 1970s of the twentieth century, Egypt was self-sufficient in food. Even after the construction of the Aswan Dam, the area of ​​cultivated land in Egypt increased, and food was once exported.

However, Aswan in Xingye and Aswan in death, although the construction of the dam has controlled the flooding of the Nile River and created a large amount of arable land on both sides, it has destroyed the ecological balance of the Nile River region for thousands of years.

Without the silt brought by the regular flooding of the Nile River every year, without this "gift" from the Nile River, Egypt's arable land has become more and more barren, requiring huge amounts of chemical fertilizers to maintain production. Not to mention, Egypt also needs a large amount of imported food In order to maintain the country's consumption, the important Nile Delta is also facing the danger of "sinking" into the seabed.

Although these issues seem to have nothing to do with Chen Mo, and they are things that will happen in the future, but if Chen Mo wants to rule Egypt, these issues are what he needs to consider.

Thinking about how he should rule Egypt, and how he should govern and develop the country after driving out the British to control Egypt, Chen Mo finished his dinner and chatted with Evelyn about ancient Egypt. Mo gradually had a rough plan in his mind.

Just when he was about to find a notebook to write down his thoughts, Chen Mo suddenly realized that someone was missing, so he asked O'Connor, "Speaking of which, where's our little fat warden? Why didn't you see him? "

"Uh, he seems to have suffered an accident and unfortunately died." Only then did O'Connor realize that he didn't tell Chen Mo that the warden was dead.

Hearing what O'Connor said, Chen Mo could only helplessly express regret.

Although regarding this warden, Chen Mo still wanted to use him to infiltrate Cairo City and control the important people in the city, but since he was dead, he had no choice but to cancel this plan.

Although it's not impossible to use the corpse, but it's just a warden, it's not worth Chen Mo's effort.

But just as Chen Mo and O'Connor were saying this, there was a faint sound of horseshoes coming from outside the city.

O'Connor's eyes changed when he heard the sound of horseshoes, and he picked up the shotgun beside him and ran towards the entrance of the ancient city.
