"City of Streamers" is becoming more and more impressive in the treatment of many details.
Although there are always some small flaws that occasionally appear, this can't hide his thoughts and efforts to strive for excellence.
In particular, the author has analyzed before, the interaction between Feng Shizhen and Sun Shaoqing in foreign literature contains many unexpected contents.
In the latest episode of "City of Streamers", Rong Jiashang asked his friend and classmate Wu Yunchi to help him find the source of arms.
Wu Yunchi really lived up to Rong Jia's heavy trust and brought him to a black market where he could sell weapons in the bright light.
Although this kind of plot setting is somewhat shocking, the weapons that appear on the black market have not disappointed the author.
On the black market, all the weapons and ammunition that give the audience close-up shots are not only good in terms of workmanship and quality, but also have their true history and provenance.
These weapons are much more realistic and realistic than the rubber-like pistols that Feng Shizhen used when he trained to shoot under the Seventh Master.
Let's talk about the imitation grenade that almost shocked people's jaws.
Maybe you will feel that such a big guy looks like a perfunctory prop, which is far from the "Mk 2 Grenade" that appeared on the Training Ground of the Seventh Master before.
But the "Mk 2 grenade", commonly known as the "pineapple grenade", really appeared and used in large quantities, basically after World War II.
And this imitation grenade on the black market is the real grenade that should be available at this point in time in "City of Streamers".
Don't look at him as ridiculously large, but he did imitate the German "handle grenade".
This long-handled grenade first appeared and was used from World War I until the end of World War II.
Don't look at this "handle grenade" seems bulky, but he has the advantages and lethality that the small "handle grenade" in the anti-war film does not have.
His extra-long "force arm" design allows his throwing distance to easily reach 30 meters away.
This gives him a lot of room to play and safety in combat environments such as cities or hillsides.
Next, look at the light submachine gun that Young Master Rong da can't see.
This is a famous gun that is frequently used or mentioned in many literary, film and television works in addition to the battlefield.
He is the famous "Chicago typewriter", which is commonly known as the "Thompson submachine gun".
The early "Thompson submachine gun" was over by the time of its launch, so his main promotion was for the civilian population.
It was not until after the outbreak of World War II that the gun was extended to many Allied forces.
However, due to his shortcomings such as too much self-weight, although he was extremely sharp in firepower, he was gradually eliminated by the soldiers who actually used it.
This may also be one of the reasons why Rong Jiashang was not satisfied with this gun after trying it in his hand.
In addition, this "Thompson submachine gun" also has a huge drawback, that is, his cost and price is too high, if you want to buy in large quantities, it is estimated that Rong Dingkun will not agree to this submachine gun.
From this point of view, although Young Master Rong Da is a brother, he still has a certain business acumen in doing business.
Finally, there was the "head handle deal" that sold guns on the black side to show the pistol that Rong Jiashang saw.
When the gun appeared in front of Rong Jiashang's eyes, it immediately attracted his attention.
And this gun is the "Mauser C96 pistol" that has appeared many times before.
You may not think much of it when you see this name, but when you see his names like this, you will understand how famous he is:
Box guns, box guns, broom handles, barge guns, fast and slow machines, smacks, large mirrors, and so on.
The reason why this "Mauser C96 pistol" was favored by Rong Jiashang is precisely why.
The earliest Mauser C96 was a semi-automatic pistol, which was later improved with fully automatic and semi-automatic convertible models.
This improvement and body design allowed the Mauser C9 to turn from a pistol to a small submachine gun with a suitable stock.
In particular, his "M712 rapid-fire type", although not popular among the German troops in the producing countries, was highly respected among the warlord forces of the Republic of China.
Cleverly, we turned its original bounce disadvantage into a flat shooting action into an advantage.
To know that at that time, a pistol could be completely tactically strafed, and perhaps only this "Mauser C96 pistol" was used.
Although it is not yet known which weapons Rong Jiashang will actually trade with the arms dealers, it is really quite expected from the few weapons he has seen on the black market.
Unexpectedly, "City of Streamers" will do enough work on arms and weapons, not only the age of each weapon has been carefully grasped.
That long-handled grenade alone is enough to impress the author with the costume of "Flowing City".
Although the setting of "City of Streamers" in some plots will be somewhat criticized.
But from another aspect, because it is an adapted story, it cannot be too demanding of many plot settings.
In some of the content that the crew can fully autonomously, it is enough to see that "City of Streamers" is not perfunctory.
He has enough sincerity, careful design and consideration in many ways.
Such as the selection and use of cars, the selection and naming of various buildings, and the control of the value of the currency at that time.
Even in some large-scale Republic of China dramas, there may not necessarily be such a fine and ingenious design and elaboration.
"City of Streamers", which has only aired 12 episodes, allows us to see a lot of thoughtfulness.
There are not only stories hidden behind the plot, but also real hard props, which is the attitude and episode we want.
Such a "City of Streamers" that does not perfunctory audiences, what reason do you have not to give him a big thumbs up?
