In fact, the future Eagle Sauce Nation and John Bull were as good as wearing a pair of pants.
However, John Bull was definitely the most hostile country to the Eagle Sauce Kingdom.
Not to mention during the war of independence, but with the rise of the Eagle Jam Nation at the end of the 19th century, as a new capitalist country.
Similar to the Hans Empire, John Bull had been suppressing the Eagle Sauce Empire.
Culture-wise, John Bull felt that the Eagle Jam Nation was a group of uncultured cowboys.
In terms of economy, especially the issue of customs duties, John Bull had always hoped that the Eagle Jam Kingdom could reduce the customs duties on goods from Europe and
make the Eagle Jam Kingdom a dumping ground for their goods.
Therefore, if the people of the Eagle Sauce Country were not hostile to John Bull, then you were a fake Eagle Sauce person.
Li Zixuan's words immediately made the gentlemen and ladies on the stands feel proud.
No matter what they said, it was true that their rifles were more advanced than John Bulls.
They felt like laughing when they thought about how John Bull, who claimed to be from the Empire where the sun never sets, was still using old-fashioned rifles and black gunpowder bullets.
After browsing through the advertisement, Li Zixuan expressed his gratitude to the support of the City of Chicago.
Then, the president of the National Rifle Association, Elton Burnside, announced the start of the competition.
The staff members who had already been prepared began to lead the participants participants into the arena.
The actual number of participants for this competition was 4998, and most of the registered participants did not re-register for their own reasons.
Aubrey from New York was assigned to the twentieth group.
An hour after the start of the match, he entered the arena, completely ignoring the noise of the audience.
He placed his rifle on the table and looked at the target three hundred meters in front of him.
To be honest, even though the organizers didn't enforce the use of other firearms, if you didn't use the 1882 Lee rifle produced by Lee Browning Company,
it would be awkward because there was only a 7.62mm smokeless bullet on the market.
In other words, smokeless bullets could not be used if other firearms were used.
Then, the competitors had to face the problem of shooting range and firing speed.
This was because it was very difficult for other firearms to shoot from a distance of 300 meters or to shoot ten shots in one and a half minutes.
Therefore, some of the gunners who thought that they were very skilled and did not prepare 1882 Lee rifles cursed at the organizer of the Rifle Association after knowing the rules of the competition.
In the end, he could only helplessly withdraw from the competition.
Fortunately, Aubrey was not such a person. He was carrying an advanced rifle that his wife had traded her hair for.
Pressing in the smokeless bullet and checking the crosshair, it was a set of actions that seemed to have been practiced countless times.
Following the sound of the pistol in the referee's hand.
Immediately, the fifty shooters pulled their triggers at the same time.
Bang bang bang! Gunshots rang out.
After firing five bullets, Aubrey did not hesitate and began to quickly insert bullets again.
The first five shots only took him about 25 seconds. He had enough time to shoot.
After reloading, he raised his gun again. Without any hesitation, he loaded the gun and pulled the trigger.
"Mr. Aubrey from New York, with a total score of 98 points, is temporarily ranked first among all the contestants!”
As the staffer shouted, the scene became lively.
Even Li Zixuan was amazed by this middle-aged man who was in his forties.
Ten bullets, a distance of 300 meters, and a shooting time of one and a half minutes, yet he managed to score 98 points. What kind of concept was this?
To be honest, even future Olympic champions wouldn't be at this level.
In this guy's case, the first place in the group had only 88 points. It was this middle-aged man who had increased the number of points by 10 points.
"Who is this guy? He's so powerful!”
Tom, who was a sharpshooter himself, stood on the empty ground and looked at the middle-aged man who had finished the competition and carried his rifle on his back. He was completely unsmiling.
Tom felt that even he couldn't compare to this man.
However, just when everyone thought that this man would win the first round of the competition.
An even more incredible number appeared. 99 points
. Miss Oakley from Cindy scored 99 points, surpassing Mr. Aubrey's 98 points and becoming the first!”
"It's actually a female sharpshooter!”
Li Zixuan looked at the young woman with curly hair and a wide-brimmed hat in shock.
He wasn't the only one. The little loli Marion and Elizabeth, who were holding binoculars, had their mouths wide open.
"Oh my god, she even got a nine ring!”
Marion exclaimed.
However, Li Zixuan soon found out who this female sharpshooter was.
Her name had long been known in the Eagle Sauce Nation. She was a professional sharpshooter who traveled around with her husband.
However, Li Zixuan soon remembered the story of this sharpshooter.
In the future, her popularity in Yingjiang Country would be like Hua Mulan's popularity in Xia Country. It could be said that she was a household name.
Her story was also full of legendary colors. For many years, people had been talking about Annie Oakley, who was regarded as the heroine of the West by the American people.
Annie Oakley had shown extraordinary talent in shooting since she was young.
When she was eight, she shot Squirrel in the head with her father's old rifle.
However, the most amazing thing about Anne Oakley, who was born in 1860, was that when William II ascended the throne in the future,
she shot the cigarette butt in the emperor's mouth into ashes.
At that time, someone even said that if she had failed, she might have been able to prevent the outbreak of the First World War.
Later, she even performed for Queen Victoria of England, King Umberto I of Italy, French President Marie-Francois Sadi Carnot, and other crowned heads of state.
They had all become her fans.
"I didn't expect it to be this western heroine!”Li Zixuan murmured in his heart.
