Chapter 137, Poland did not perish

"You go and get a sample of the 'Bonaparte Melon', and also take a few samples of the miscellaneous 'Little Melon'."

After hearing this, the guard turned around and left. Joseph continued to say to Vibitsky:

"I just noticed that when you asked us for a purchase, you particularly emphasized that what you need is the authentic Bonaparte melon. The reason why you gave up on the manufacturers near Paris is that you know the problem of the "little melons" they produce. Well... you may also know that our General Juber is injured. In addition, as far as I know, in the Prussian army, those bargains also caused a lot of problems.

In addition, you should also know that the transportation of these things is a big problem for you. The number of your first batch of purchases is so small, I am afraid that it is because of your own channels that it is difficult to transport enough things at one time. In this case, if you still want to buy low-end bargains, even from an economic perspective, it is actually not cost-effective, right?”

As he said this, the guard had already left. He was holding a plate in his hand, and there were a few round little melons in it.

"Mr. Vibitsky, please see, this is our authentic 'Bonapartite Melon'. These are cheap 'Bonapart' melons. You don't have to worry that the charges in these 'little melons' have been taken out. You can take them over and take a closer look at their differences."

Joseph said, signaling the guard to bring the two "little melons" over to Vibitsky for tasting.

Vibitsky took turns picking up a few "little melons" from the tray and looked at them again and again. However, judging from his expression, he could not understand the difference at all.

"Mr. Vibitsky, you see that authentic little melons have deep marks on the outside. These marks are not for beauty. They have two functions. The first is to be easy to hold and not slip easily. Mr. Vibitsky, you know that soldiers are very nervous when they are on the battlefield, especially those recruits. Therefore, they are also prone to all kinds of stupid mistakes on the battlefield, such as when they slip their hands, they drop the little melon on their feet. With these marks, such problems are not likely to occur."

Joseph first picked up the authentic "Bonaparte Melon" to show Vibitsky, and then picked up another "Little Melon" with a very smooth surface:

"If you look at this miscellaneous little melon, there are no marks on it at all. Of course, it is the cheapest. Well, there are also this one. You see, there are a little light mark on it. This is made by etching. Although it is very shallow, it can also have an anti-slip effect. Of course, with an extra process, the cost of this ‘little melon’ is naturally a little higher, and the price is also a little more expensive than the previous one."

After saying that, Joseph said again: "But Mr. Vibitsky, you see, compared with the authentic one, it still lacks one of the most important advantages. You see, the marks of the authentic "Bonaparte Melon" are much deeper than this. In this way, when the "Bonaparte Melon" explodes, its shell will shatter along these marks, forming dozens of shrapnel, and shooting towards the surroundings. Within ten meters of the center of the explosion, there is an effective range of damage. Therefore, an authentic "Bonaparte Melon" that falls into the enemy's ranks can defeat a large row of enemies.

Look at the miscellaneous "little melon" in my hand. Its marks are too shallow, so it cannot have the effect mentioned above. When it explodes, it is easy to just blow the shell into two pieces. It cannot produce a large number of fatal shrapnel, so its power is far less than the authentic "Bonaparte Melon". The reason why it marks so light is because the materials they use are not as good as ours. They use the most ordinary white cast iron, which cannot be made in advance on this cast iron. So, you see, on the surface, the authentic "Bonaparte Melon" is indeed the most expensive of these "little melons", because we have better production, better performance, and naturally higher costs. In fact, the money we make from customers is not more than these cheaper miscellaneous goods."

But at this time, Vibitsky seemed to be hesitating. Joseph smiled again and said, "Mr. Vibitsky, in fact, if your order volume is a little larger, we can help you deliver the goods."

The temptation immediately came into effect, and Vibitsky immediately said, "Can you deliver the goods to Poland?"

Joseph shook his head and said, "This is not possible, but we can help you deliver the goods to Denmark first. The land route from France to Poland is very tightly watched. But if you go from Denmark, take a boat on the water route, go ashore in Danze, and then cross Prussia to Poland. This route is relatively not strictly investigated, so it should be better to go."

"Sir, there is nothing Danze, only Gdansk. (Danze's Polish name)" said Vibitsky. "Also, how much do we need to order to get this service?"

Joseph smiled: "Ah, I was wrong, it should be Gdansk. As for the quantity, if you double the quantity of your order, we can deliver the goods to Denmark for you for free. Also, I am bluntly speaking, your enemies are too strong, and I admire your courage, but, to be honest, your struggle may not necessarily have a good result."

"Mr. Bonaparte, what do you mean?" Vibitsky's face changed, his eyes were filled with anger, as if he was ready to make a duel to Joseph at any time.

"Mr. Vibitsky, don't be excited. I have no malice," said Joseph. "I just want to make a little suggestion as a friend, a friend of the Polish people, in the present situation. You should know that in all Europe, there is no more reliable friend in the Polish people than France."

This made Vibitsky calm down and he said, "Mr. Bonaparte, I'm so excited. However, I still want to ask, do you really think that our current struggle is not good?"

"Yes," said Joseph. "It's shameful to say that it's mainly our responsibility to France. If so many things have happened within us, we can put a lot of pressure on Prussia and Austria. If that's the case, then your uprising will have a great chance."

"Ah..." Vibitsky sighed.

"However, even if this uprising failed to recover the country, it can still inspire the national spirit. With such a spirit, even if Poland fails temporarily, it will never truly perish." Joseph said again.

"Thank you, thank you for your encouragement," said Vibitsky.

"But now, we must prepare for the future." Joseph continued, "First of all, if the enemy is too strong, don't fight against the enemy for the time being. Winter is approaching, and we must preserve the fire. As long as the fire of resistance is still burning, Poland will not perish. I suggest you use guerrilla warfare that breaks the whole into pieces and subdue the invaders in the vast ocean of people's war..."

"What guerrilla warfare? What is the vast ocean of people's war?" Vibitsky really couldn't understand such rich information at once.

"Ah, this is the case..."

According to Joseph's analysis, the reason why the Russians and the Prussians invaded Poland was naturally to plunder the Polish people. Otherwise, would they really come to build a land of kingly ways? Therefore, the contradiction between them and the Polish people cannot be reconciled. Therefore, as long as the guerrillas stand on the side of the people and try their best to safeguard the interests of the people, they will be able to get the support of the people, just like the peace on the ground, which is invincible.

Whether it is the Russians or the Prussians, they invaded Poland to suck blood, rather than having too much money and nowhere to spend it. If they destroy their attempt to suck blood from Poland, or even use extensive guerrilla warfare to put them in the quagmire of this endless battle, and make them pay far more than what they can get from Poland, then their invasion will naturally not be maintained. With the support and help of people who love justice and peace throughout Europe, Poland will surely be revived.

Vibitsky stood up excitedly, and Joseph's words opened up a whole new world before him.

"Mr. Bonaparte, you said it well! Poland has not perished. As long as the fire of resistance is still burning, Poland has not perished! Yes, we must mobilize the entire nation and subdue those invaders in the vast ocean of people's war..."

Vibitsky waved his fists, as if Poland had won and had become the big wave of Pingdu Town again.

"Mr. Vibitsky, we need to work together for this sacred goal," said Joseph. "Well, we have a weapon called Bonaparte's mouse trap, which is particularly suitable for guerrilla warfare. Do you want to see it?"

"What? You have to see it, of course!" Vibitsky said quickly.

The so-called "Bonapart's mouse trap" is actually a landmine. To be more precise, what Joseph wants to sell at this time is not even the entire landmine, but just the landmine fuse.

"This kind of thing is actually similar to the 'little melon'. It uses a fire tube to detonate explosives. However, it is not for throwing, but is buried under the road where the enemy may pass. Once the enemy walks through it and steps on it, it is like a mouse stepping on a mouse catcher. With a bang, they will go to heaven. This thing, we have a formal product with cast iron shells, of course it is good. But I consider your financial difficulties, so I suggest you only need to buy the fuze part. As for the other parts, you can find a stonemason yourself, chisel a shell with stones, and fill it with black gunpowder. Anyway, this thing is buried underground, it is bigger and heavier, and then connect to our fuze system..."
