Chapter 67: Bright Silver 'Monster'
The wharf was crowded with Japanese waiting to be hired, and after the defeat, life became more and more difficult, and all the daily necessities in the world were reduced, which led to a large number of idle people coming to the wharf to beg for a living and a way to survive, so this wharf in the port area of Tokyo was not only desolate because of the defeat, but became more prosperous.
It's already mid-November, and Chi Shang has just been informed that the machine production line he ordered from the United States will arrive today, and this time there is also the Major General Hanks, who is said to have brought him a gift from the United States.
It is said that it was to thank him for saving his life last time, which made Ji Shang Zhenyi feel a little embarrassed, he didn't expect this Yankee to be so polite, which made him a little unexpected.
On the edge of the wharf, Chi Shang Zhenyi took Kumaji Yamada and ten newly recruited guards to wait for the arriving freighter, and the surrounding laborers who were looking for work automatically let them go away, and there were no uninteresting ones who came up to find fault.
Because Chi Shang Zhenyi's group of people don't seem to be simple, there is no one who can mess around at the dock without a long eye, and these people can easily distinguish which kind of person is not something they can provoke.
After a while, before the freighter arrived at the port, a group of American military vehicles drove in outside the wharf, and the frightened Japanese hurriedly hid to the side, for fear of provoking these masters, this is the view of all the Japanese on the Americans after the defeat.
"Haha, Chi, we met again, after the last time I got well, I only visited you once, I'm really embarrassed, but the last time I said that I wanted to give you a gift, I always remember. β
"Today I don't mean that I am here to help you transport the machine, the gift I want to give you has already come with the machine you ordered, and I am sure you will like the gift I chose for you. β
"Of course, I have some other things to give you, you see that these cars are what I want to give you, these four or two trucks will be given to you after you finish transporting the machine, I believe your factory will use it, as well as the six jeeps and ten taels of motorcycles. With that, Hanks reached out and pointed behind him.
Ji Shang Zhenyi followed Hanks's fingers and found that the cars that the other party was going to give him were well maintained, and it seemed that they had been carefully selected.
"Major General Hanks, how embarrassing is this, you can take these things back, such a gift is a bit valuable. β
Hearing Chi Shang's sincere refusal, Hanks didn't care and said, "Chi, these things may be valuable to you, but to me, they are only better than scrap products." β
"Things like this truck, and the jeep and these three-wheeled motorcycles, we took them from the defeated Germans, and then they were sent to us by the logistics department, but we can't use up our own cars, so how can we use these German things?"
"Now these things are piled up in the warehouse and moldy, I took a lot of effort to pick them up yesterday, I guess if I leave them for a while, these cars will all be scrap metal. β
"Of course, don't worry, these cars I gave you are in the best condition, and I also asked the engineers to repair and maintain them, so they are all healthy, you can use them with confidence, the quality of the old German cars is still very reliable, if you want more, I can get you some more, I have been saying for so long, you should understand, these cars are not a valuable thing to me, you can rest assured to accept them." β
In the face of this enthusiastic and talkative Hanks, Chi Shang Zhenyi didn't say anything in the end, only nodded and agreed to accept it, since the other party said that it was not a valuable thing, then he didn't care, but in the future, these car oil is a problem, after all, there is no military vehicle now that is not a big oil eater.
While the two were talking, there was a slight commotion from the crowd in the port, and a group of laborers looking for work in the dock were squeezing forward, and Ji Shangzhen took a look and found that it was a freighter arriving at the port, and these people were all fighting for work.
With the assistance of the dock crane, these containers that had just been unloaded from the ship were put on top of the truck before they touched the ground, two canning production lines, some imported seasonings, and some machine preparations, just filled four trucks.
As soon as Ji Shang Zhenyi finished his busy work, he saw Hanks driving a bright silver luxury six-wheeled Mercedes and stopped in front of him.
I bought this car from a wealthy German businessman who fled to the United States, and the model of this car is the Mercedes-Daimler Benz G4W31 1938 model year, (model: MercedesBenz G4W31) is equipped with a larger 5.4-liter engine, and the maximum power is adjusted to 81,000 watts, which is more powerful than the 55.2-liter engine version produced in previous years. β
Saying this, Hanks also reached out and touched the steering wheel, apparently he was also very fond of the car.
"Hitler used it as a car, so when I first got it, I studied it carefully for a while, and I knew a little bit about the parameters of this car. β
"Its dimensions are 5.72 meters long, because the one I gave you is an extended trunk type, 1.87 meters wide, 1.9 meters high, and the net weight of the vehicle: 3.7 tons, full load 4.4 tons. β
"Power configuration: Daimler Mercedes-Benz M24 II, 5.4-liter inline eight-cylinder engine, maximum power 110, 3,400 rpm, maximum speed: 6 m/h, drive mode: 6 by 4 (rear 4-wheel drive), turning radius: 17 meters, fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 28 to 38 liters, fuel tank volume: up to 140 liters, bulletproof armor: 7.5 to 17 mm, bulletproof capability: immune to most infantry small arms, grenades, mines (or explosives) and shrapnel from artillery shells. β
"How about I say it quite comprehensively, are you amazed by its performance, it does have amazing capital, because it is simply the favorite of all men. β
Hearing this, Chi Shang Zhenyi was already surprised by the pedigree of the car, in his opinion, this is completely a top-level luxury car, and it is the kind that money can't buy, the model that the FΓΌhrer once sit, just think about it, and you will know what kind of people can have it.
After introducing the model parameters of this car, Hanks saw Chi Shang Zhenyi's slightly surprised expression, and continued to introduce with satisfaction: "And this model of car, Mercedes-Benz manufacturers have only been producing it for six years, and it was discontinued in 1939. β
"There are only fifty-seven taels in the world, and this bright silver model, as far as I know, Mercedes-Benz manufacturers only produced seven cars at the beginning, how do you like my gift to you?"
After saying that, Hanks waited for Ji Shang's sincere approval, because he didn't believe that there would be a man who would be indifferent to this treasure.
It is obvious that Hanks guessed correctly this time, Ji Shang Zhenyi is indeed very interested in this Mercedes-Benz G4W31, and after seeing this car for the first time, he can't take his eyes off it.
Looking at the beautiful bright silver 'monster' in front of him, although he had never had a special love for car watches before, when he saw this car, Ji Shang Zhenyi felt that his heart beat faster, it was obvious that he was attracted to this car, it seems that every man will like cars, and it is true.
Although Ji Shang really liked this Mercedes-Benz, he knew that this car must be worth a lot of money, and with the pedigree of this car, it would not be cheap.
This car is different from the military vehicles that Hanks just sent, those military vehicles are just a bunch of rags, not worth a few dollars, and they will be collected if they are collected.
But this car is different, if this car is really taken by Chi Shang, then he will owe the other party a favor, although this car is a gift that the other party said he would give him, but he knows best whether he has kindness to others or not.
If it is really calculated, he Chi Shang not only has no kindness to others, but also has a lot of grudges, the other party was lying in bed for almost half a month, but it was all thanks to him, and he secretly took revenge for a reason, but if he really ignores his conscience, he feels that he may not be able to do it.
However, in the end, Chi Shang Zhenyi still accepted the Mercedes-Benz, but in order not to owe Hanks a favor, he had to give the other party three talismans to protect himself, otherwise he would not accept his Mercedes-Benz.
After postponing it for a while, Hanks agreed to this request, he was actually very satisfied with this return gift, since the last encounter with the ghost, he has become more and more interested in those supernatural, superscientific things, and now he heard that Ji Shang really wanted to give him three talismans, and suddenly became interested, and finally the two of them completed the dock gift car when they were satisfied with each other.
