Chapter 517: The Height Problem

It's only early December, and although strong cold air began to come yesterday, the minimum temperature in New York is also minus six or seven degrees, and the maximum temperature is also four or five degrees. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But compared with three days ago, there was a temperature difference of more than ten degrees, plus three or four northwest winds, and the temperature felt that the temperature was even lower than the actual temperature, and people were not used to it all of a sudden, otherwise Charitz Theron would not have put on that sable fur coat.

Arrived at the airport in Grand Falls, Montana, and got into a couple of Humvees sent from the training base.

"It's cold!"

As soon as she got off the plane, little Charlie felt the cold wind biting, and she shrunk into a ball in her fur coat!

"The air conditioner is on in the car, get on quickly. ”

The little girl consciously sat in the co-pilot's seat, Alyosha replaced the driver, and Zhang Nan and Alice sat in the back seat.

This is rarely seen in the United States except in the military, where you can rarely see this kind of strange-looking, large off-road vehicle with a width of more than 2.2 meters.

"Combined forces" ordered a batch of Humvees in the name of military contractors and took the path of the army, while the owners of a very small number of civilian Humvees basically followed the path of the army, and off-road vehicle enthusiasts will find a way to get one.

Chariz Theron will feel that this car looks really different, and I can't figure out how the space in this car is so wasted!

It's such a big car, but it can only seat four people!

Either the seats are too big, or there are only four seats in the carriage.

You won't see a Hummer on the street, not because the car doesn't perform well, but because the design of the car is not very suitable for civilian use: the first requirement for Americans to buy a big guy is for practicality, and if such a big guy is replaced by a pickup truck, he can really do a lot of things.

It's a pity that the interior space of the Hummer is much "smaller" than that of a pickup truck of the same size, and the cargo capacity is even more than a few streets thrown out of the pickup!

Therefore, it will not have a civilian version, not only for policy reasons, but also because manufacturers have little confidence in its entry into the civilian market.

No way, the engine of the Hummer is mid-mounted, the driver, the co-pilot, between the two seats in the back seat is most of the engine plus a gearbox, and the middle of the member room is a cut higher!

It's okay to stuff a few more people, but the seats can't be arranged, and if it's overcrowded, the extra people have to lie down in the middle of the big height.

And its outstanding off-road ability is not what the American people need the most, even if it is to be used in the wild, American pickup trucks also have a certain off-road ability.

Who would want to buy this strange off-road vehicle except the players?

A couple with three children going out, a family combination that is common in the United States, has one of the children lying on the iron plate?

It's funny!

The future of the civilian market is worrying, and if it hadn't been for the Gulf War, God knows when the civilian version of the Hummer would have appeared, and it would never have been '92 anyway.

It is designed for the military, and civilian words will only be liked by some alternative people, so it has been counted in 30 years of all deformation models, and the output of American origin is a pitiful 140,000 units, which cannot be compared with some best-selling civilian SUVs.

There are only four members of the driver in the whole vehicle, but the "cramped" is also relatively speaking, Zhang Nan feels very spacious when he sits inside, and the bodyguards also feel good, even if he uses an assault rifle in the car, it will not be very awkward and unwieldy.

But the comfort can't be compared with the bulletproof car that Zhang Nan usually rides, it feels a bit hard!

The four Humvees galloped all the way and arrived at their "Star" farm after more than half an hour.

Covered in snow, Montana has one of the lowest average winter temperatures in the United States outside of Alaska.

Outside the car, it will be minus 10 degrees, which is still the highest temperature of the day, and it is estimated that it will be fine at minus 20 degrees at night.

The training centre is a little further away from where the cowboys live on the farm, and even further away from the barn where the cattle are raised and the pasture where the cattle graze after spring.

Not far, not to mention training explosives, even the sound of rifle live firing training will frighten the herd.

Fortunately, the pasture is large enough, the terrain is also complicated, and the shooting range is basically arranged in the col, and the cattle are generally not fried.

I've been training here for a while, and the cattle seem to be used to the strange noises that sometimes come from a distance, and the farm is quite harmonious.

Zhang Nan lives in the villa, the main building of the farm, which has also been properly remodeled, and he will arrange for the trainers to move in when he is not there, but the largest suite is always reserved for Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan and Alice live together, little Charlie is next door, and the bodyguards live in a "dormitory" for two people.

Didn't get tired of his own woman first, and the logistics administrator of the camp sent two sets of U.S. Marine Corps winter clothing, including boots, according to the size notified in advance.

"Am I going to put it on too?"

In the room, Alice looked at the coat, pants, hat, socks, boots in the cardboard box...... asked.

"Convenient. Do you want to hang around here in a flight attendant uniform?"

Alice laughed, immediately took off her coat and began to change her clothes.

Next door, Chariz Theron is also changing into a military uniform and is just the right size.

There are two female drops, one big and one small, even Alice is more than 1.70 meters, and there are clothes and boots of such a size. As for little Charlie, she is so tall that she is barefoot and is 1.77 meters, which is two centimeters taller than the average height of American men.

Are Americans tall?

It seems that American men are 1.8 meters very common, and that is because Americans like to report the height of wearing shoes, not the barefoot height that Chinese people often say.

The average height of American men is 1.75 meters, while the average height of Chinese men is about 1.68 or 69 meters.

There are gaps, but not particularly large.

As for the "Huaxia Legion" in the training camp, which is mainly composed of personnel from Yanxian County and nearby areas, although the average height is generally a little shorter than that of American and Israeli colleagues, it cannot be said that it is too small in the American army.

Because although Yan County is located in the south of the Yangtze River in China, but one is the mountainous basin terrain, the other is the natural economic conditions are good, people's nutritional intake conditions have always been in the developed areas of China, even three years of temporary-difficult times have not starved to death, the average height of this person is slightly higher than the average of China.

The soldiers are even more, because the soldiers are relatively sufficient, and the recruiters generally like tall and strong recruits, so this time there are only about 20 of the 150 "security guards" who are less than 1.70 meters tall, and the others are not low in height, and there are many who are higher than 1.8 meters.

Those 20 guys are skinny little guys?

No, although they are not tall, they are all strong, and they used to be either navy or armored infantry and tank soldiers, and big men were not welcome in those places at all!

Not to mention dealing with tanks, armored vehicles, and submarines, even destroyers generally do not see young men with a height of 1.8 meters, but they are still popular with medium and small people.
