Early the next morning, at five o'clock, there was just a hint of whiteness on the horizon.

Fang Chen opened the door of the truck and got into the driver's cabin.

As soon as Fang Chen came in, the cockpit was filled to the brim and there was not even a place to put his feet.

But no, the cockpit, which was originally small, was filled with five people.

The two seats in front were occupied by the driver and Fang Yongnian, and the three seats in the back seat were occupied by Fang Chen.

Fortunately, the destination is Yanjing, which is only more than a thousand kilometers away from Luozhou. It only takes two days and one night to drive there.

Hearing the driver Zhao's rejoicing tone, Fang Chen couldn't help but miss the developed transportation system of later generations.

The fastest trip from Luozhou to Yanjing by high-speed rail is less than four hours, and even by car, it won't take eight or nine hours.

Now someone actually told him that it would take two days and one night to drive, and it would be faster.

But when we get to the road, we look at the bumpy provincial and county roads, as well as pedestrians riding bicycles and motorcycles. Sometimes we can encounter a herd of sheep or a herd of cows blocking the road, taking a leisurely walk.

They even had to pass through village roads that were like winding trails, with the average speed not exceeding thirty kilometers per hour. Fang Chen finally understood what Brother Zhao said.

It is really fast to reach Yanjing in two days and one night.

Given the situation on the road, it would be difficult to ask for too much.

In addition, there is only one driver after all, so people always have to rest and sleep.

At this time, China's highway industry was really bad. In later generations, there were highways everywhere, but now they are really a rarity.

The first expressway in China, the Shanghai-Jiaxing Expressway, is 18.5 kilometers in length. It was only officially opened two years ago. The length of expressways in the entire land of China is really pitiful and ridiculous.

The entire transportation network basically relies on various national highways, provincial and county roads.

Especially on the road, Brother Zhao also pointed out a section of the road, saying that this section of the road was the Qinchi Road. It has been more than 2,000 years ago and is still playing a huge role.

Fang Chen was really speechless.

Along the way, Li Qiming was very energetic. He had two huge panda eyes and stretched his head to see the driver's operations. Sometimes he even secretly made a few gestures.

Last night, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

After leaving the border of Zhongyuan Province, Fang Yongnian suddenly handed Fang Chen a four-inch steel pipe more than half a meter long.

"What does this mean?" Fang Chen looked at his grandfather in confusion.

"I'll let you wear it for self-defense, so that you won't have to wait until it's too late. I'll give it to you first," Fang Yongnian explained.

Fang Chen looked at the smooth and shiny steel pipe, grinned, and said with some disgust: "No need for it, right?"

"Why don't you use it?"

Fang Yongnian, Li Qiming, Wu Maocai, and Brother Zhao said in unison.

Fang Chen was startled, and he looked at the four people with panic on his face. He felt that he seemed to have said something wrong, and not only was he wrong, but he was also very stupid. Otherwise, how could he have caused such a strong reaction from everyone.

"You guys are causing trouble?" Fang Chen said uncertainly.

"Bring it with you, Lord Jiu." After saying that, Wu Maocai took out a knife from under his butt that could definitely be regarded as a controlled knife.

A watermelon knife that is thirty to forty centimeters long, with a thick back and a sharp blade. Facing the sun, cold light flashes through it.

"I brought it too."

As he spoke, Li Qiming untied a nine-section steel whip from his waist.

Fang Chen took a breath of cold air. This was Li Qiming's treasure. Each section of the steel whip was as thick as three of his fingers put together. The whole set of steel whips weighed twenty or thirty kilograms, and he saw

Li Qiming used it.

With a flick of his hand, the tree as thick as a bowl was penetrated directly.

If this hit someone, it would be a bloody hole.

Brother Zhao silently took out a screwdriver as long as an arm and an adjustable wrench as big as a cutting board.

"Grandpa, you won't bring it with you, right?" Fang Chen placed his last hope on you, Fang Yongnian.

"I brought it with me. Why don't I even bring it with me when I go out to travel around the world?"

As he said that, Fang Yongnian lifted up his shirt, revealing a May 4th-style gun. Next to it, he could see two magazines filled with yellow and orange bullets.

"Why did you even bring this with you!" Fang Chen covered his head and said with a look of despair.

What kind of car is this? It must be a black car. Looking at the posture, who would dare to say that it is going to sell walnuts? It is simply going to fight. It even brings things like pistols.

"What's wrong with taking it with you? This is my treasure. I will take it to the grave in the future." Fang Yongnian patted the May 4th pose on his waist proudly.

Fang Chen knew this gun. This gun was owned by his grandfather when he was in the army. He did not turn it in when he was discharged. After returning to the place, in the most chaotic era, he used the gun to subdue a riot.

However, he was immediately sent to the cadre school to squat in the cowshed.

After he was rehabilitated, my grandfather found the gun through connections and kept it with him.

Now that he said this, Fang Chen suddenly remembered that when his grandfather was away in his previous life, his father mysteriously put something wrapped in red silk into the cemetery.

Now it seems that this gun may have been put in.

Fang Chen was the only one who made a fuss about Fang Yongnian's May 4th Style, while the others turned a blind eye.

It is our party’s own tradition that party and government cadres carry guns.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was stipulated that in addition to the army and public security, cadres at or above the section chief level of the people's government at the city and county levels, the main responsible cadres of the district-level people's government, traffic officers, correspondents, chief security guards of various agencies, and some public factories,

Personnel in shops, schools, etc., may also wear firearms with the approval of relevant departments.

In times of chaos, gun management has become even more delusional.

According to statistics in September 1969, 1,877,216 guns of all kinds were robbed, and 2,131,036 guns were recovered; 10,266 artillery pieces were robbed, and 14,828 artillery pieces were recovered; 442.17 million ammunition of all kinds were robbed.

340.04 million rounds of ammunition were fired, and 340.04 million rounds of ammunition were recovered; 390,642 rounds of various artillery shells were snatched, and 294,259 rounds of artillery shells were recovered; 2,719,545 grenades were snatched, and 2,734,381 grenades were recovered.

As for why there are more confiscations than plunders, it is because the number of plunders does not include new products produced by military factories and weapons and ammunition made by mass organizations.

In the 1980s, after the reform and opening up, in order to rectify the problem of party and government cadres carrying guns, the Public Security Headquarters issued a special notice in 1986, saying that at that time, the scope of party and government cadres wearing guns was becoming wider and wider, and the number was increasing.

Every year, as many as 30,000 to 40,000 guns are confiscated from cadres.

There are countless guns owned by private citizens, and from 1991 to 1995, as many as one million guns were confiscated.

It was not until the promulgation of the Gun Control Law in 1996 that private ownership of guns slowly became a legend.
