Test guns, even if you can take the newly arrived weapon back to the parts for condition checking, the Red Devils still like to test guns when conditions allow.

Tirana is the capital of Albania, but the neighborhood is hilly and mountainous, and the locals own a very high percentage of guns, so a few gunshots in a ravine are not a problem.

Just don't shoot in the city center, no one else will take care of you.

Not only can you shoot, there is a place to play tactical games, and the "bunkers everywhere" in the slip of the tongue is not a joke, and you can see the round-based reinforced concrete bunkers everywhere on the side of the hill road, but they are basically abandoned.

This trip to Leonid is considered to have gained a lot of knowledge, as a red devil, what has he not seen before?

But I've never seen a country with such a high density of bunkers!

Pillboxes were built not only in some of the defensive areas of the hills, but also in the relatively gentle fields in the distance, where there were bunkers every few hundred meters.

It's a whole row of bunkers, not one or two!

Not to mention the sides of the road, on the mountaintops, in front of the houses, and behind the houses, it is said that there are all kinds of bunkers scattered on the resort beaches of the western coastal areas!

This country is bunkers!

Leonid had to sigh: "Build so many bunkers, they must have something wrong with their brains!"

Hearing this, Vasily said: "It's that Hoxha who was whipped has a brain like a bunker, stubborn and rigid, and besides, people will build bunkers with some artificial, sand and gravel, and steel and cement are all taken for nothing, why don't you repair them."

In the past few decades, I have made enemies everywhere, and I am worried that others will come in, so I can rest assured that I will cultivate like this.

You look at this density, the tank troops are all headaches when they come, it's all crossfire, and the infantry will go crazy against it, and it will be covered by fire in all directions. ”

Sturdy, low-profile reinforced concrete bunkers can play a good defensive role in the era of mechanized warfare: this tank gun can be destroyed, but Albania is mountainous, and the pillboxes are built everywhere in your field of vision, and the tank troops are rising...

The tankers will find themselves as a live target, or covered by cross-fire from up, down, left and right!

Hundreds of thousands of pillboxes, this is in Albania, Vasily believes that there were not so many pillboxes in the entire territory of the USSR!

Albania is definitely the country with the most bunkers per capita, and it is more appropriate to replace the country of mountain eagles with the "kingdom of bunkers"!

A small country with an area of only 28,000 square kilometers and a population of just over 2 million is densely packed with hundreds of thousands of bunkers, which is definitely enough for bunkers!

The number of bunkers is hundreds of thousands, it is estimated that only the Albanian Ministry of Defense has a know, anyway, there is no problem for men, women and children in the whole country to live in bunkers, and only a single digit of people need to be stuffed into each bunker.

To put it more appropriately: if all the houses in the bunker kingdom suddenly disappear one day, and each family lives in a bunker, it is estimated that few people in the country need to sleep in the wilderness.

It's incredible, these three people standing on the side of the road halfway up the mountain really can't understand how Hoxha's brain grew at the beginning: at that time, there were 30,000 troops in the whole country, and hundreds of thousands of bunkers were built, so it was fun?

In fact, people don't call it fun, and they can be regarded as forced, they just entertain themselves too much: in the early 60s of the last century, Albania, as the "beacon of socialism" in Europe, was politically anti-American and anti-Soviet, and really did not have many friends.

That's not all, at the same time, it also has historical feuds or territorial disputes with neighboring countries such as Italy across the Adriatic Sea, Greece in the south, and Yugoslavia in the northeast.

At that time, the leaders of Albania put forward the slogan of "keeping the enemy out of the country", and the whole people mobilized to build bunkers, but you can't build bunkers on other people's territory, right?

As a result, the consequence of building for more than ten or twenty years is that the country is dotted with bunkers, and the whole of Albania is directly bunkered. That is, they can't eat, they are uncomfortable to live in, and at most they are used as temporary warehouses for putting some sundries: the fields are all bunkers, and you don't have to take farm tools home every time.

However, the property rights of the bunker still belonged to the army, and the peasants could only borrow it.

Don't think about demolishing it, the reinforced concrete that was taken for nothing was of good quality, and there was no shortage of stones and stones in this mountainous country, and the pillboxes were strong enough, and blowing them up with explosives could make Albania go bankrupt.

Wrong...

This is wrong, it would have gone bankrupt a long time ago, otherwise there would be no opportunity for foreign arms dealers, and the whole country would be an empty shell, the army would not be paid, and the officers would find their own ways.

Driving back to the hotel, Vasily paid the expenses himself, knowing that Gilardino was not very wealthy, and he could charge a large amount of money in Albania.

Leonid also gave people a knife lire, a full 10 million, which is equivalent to less than 6,000 dollars, which should be used to buy guns and give people money for activities.

The refueled Bei-Jing 212 was also temporarily reserved for Vasily's two uses, and Gilardino asked his younger brother to drive another one.

In the evening, Gilardino treats and the menu in the hotel restaurant is quite extensive, and there are always a few places in this poor country where you can spend money and enjoy luxury.

Probably influenced by Turkey and Greece, the main dishes that the hotel can serve are basically grilled, Vasily asked for grilled trout, and Leonid and Gilardino ordered grilled lamb chops.

It tastes good, but the price is only slightly lower than in Western Europe.

High-end hotels, the same in the world.

Most of the people here are Mouss-lin, but the hotel still has spirits distilled from grape fermentation, and Vasily tasted a little and didn't drink much.

After dinner, the three of them were not idle, and drove out for more than an hour to find out the general situation of the city, and deliberately passed by two semi-underground red light districts.

Nightingale stood on the side of the street, and there were obviously thugs watching the scene nearby, and as soon as the social order collapsed like this, Vasily and Leonid deliberately did not think about what Russia had become now.

......

At 9 a.m. the next day, Gilardino came to pick up the people at the hotel, drove west along the main road for more than 10 kilometers and then entered a fork in the road, and then drove two kilometers and stopped in front of a guard post with two pillboxes.

Several soldiers stood guard, and Gilardino took out a cigarette from the side of his seat, opened the door, and said, "I made an appointment with Lieutenant Colonel Baluku." As he spoke, he handed the cigarette to one of the leading sergeants.

The other party took it with a smile, "You're welcome, the lieutenant colonel just arrived." ”

After speaking, he signaled, the barricade was lifted, and he went back to the car and drove in.

The sentry apparently knew that they were coming, and knew Gilardino who was driving, so he didn't even need to check it, so he glanced at the new face of the co-pilot sitting in the back seat.

As for Gilardino opening the door and getting out of the car to give cigarettes just now, first, he is polite, he is a small businessman's way of business. Another reason is not related to politeness: this is a 212 made in the seventies, and the window glass is not tilted up and down, but opens front and back.

I can only drive half of it, and it's not very convenient to hand things through the window and talk.
