Chapter 52: A Whole Regiment
McLuhan made himself a cup of coffee, then pulled out a magazine and leaned back on the recliner.
It's a cloudy day today, and it's as annoying as the hellish place of Zenda.
But no matter how much he hated it, he could only stay in Chanda, because he was a lieutenant officer, and now it was wartime, and he had to fulfill the obligations of a soldier.
However, just as he lay down, a soldier came in and reported to him: "Oh, there is a Chinese looking for you outside." ”
"Chinese?" McLuhan frowned, "I've only been here for a few days, and I don't know anyone here. ”
"But he said he knew you." The U.S. soldier said, "He also said that there are very important matters that affect the lives of thousands of U.S. soldiers." ”
McLuhan's face immediately showed a look of annoyance.
Although McLuhan was an American, his personality was more like that of a German, strict and old-fashioned, so he did not get along well with his colleagues, and was sent to work as a consultant at the transport station in Zenda.
McLuhan said, "Let him in, I'm going to kick his ass!" ”
Soon, the American soldier led a tall, thin and white Chinese soldier in.
Of course, this Chinese soldier is Chief A Yi, but he is pretending to be Wang Yan's soul.
Seeing Wang Yan, McLuhan immediately knew his intention for coming, because although the clothes on Ah Yi's body were quite neat compared to other defeated soldiers, he still looked like a defeated soldier.
There is no shortage of such routs in Chanda.
McLuhan paused for a moment and said in English: "If you pretend to know me for the purpose of seeing me, then your purpose has been achieved, but if you have any other unrealistic illusions, you better give up, because I am not a savior, and I really can't help you." ”
McLuhan regarded Wang Yan as a rout of the Nationalist army who had come to him for help.
Ever since he came to Chanda, there have been such routs begging almost every day.
In the eyes of the rout of the national army, American GIs, especially American officers, are almost walking military supplies, and they can take out valuable materials casually.
Wang Yan glanced back at the rout soldiers of the national army gathered at the gate of the transportation station to beg, then shook his head and said, "I am different from them, I am not here to beg for supplies from you. ”
"Ah, yes, you're here to save thousands of American servicemen." McLuhan had an undisguised mockery in his eyes, and added, "Listen, man, you're all a man-trick leftover from a Manhattan street thug that can't even fool a three-year-old." ”
Wang Yan said: "Never rush to conclusions before you get in touch with the truth of the matter. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Yan shook his finger and said contemptuously: "Otherwise, you will be slapped in the face." ”
McLuhan was enraged by the contemptuous look on Wang Yan's face, and no one in the national army had ever dared to speak to them American soldiers like this.
Don't talk about the rout of the national army, even the senior officers of the national army dare not do this.
At that moment, McLuhan was furious: "Really? You'd better pray that your so-called truth will make me feel worthwhile, or I'll go to the head of your shelter and punish you severely. ”
Wang Yan didn't talk any more nonsense, took out a drawing drawn in advance from his pocket, and said: "This kind of shell is called a concave shell, which is to extend the bottom of an ordinary shell and hollow it, so that the body of the projectile is more slender and more stable when flying, so it can achieve the purpose of extending the range, and the range can be increased by 10% under normal circumstances." ”
"Oh?" McLuhan frowned, "10% increase in range?" ”
"Yes, 10% range increase." Wang Yandao, "For example, the M101 105mm caliber howitzer has a maximum range of 11 kilometers when using ordinary shells, but if you use concave shells, the range can be increased to more than 12 kilometers." ”
"Really?" McLuhan frowned and said, "Even if this concave bomb of yours really has a range increase effect, it only increases the range by 10%, and the effect seems to be extremely limited?" ”
After a pause, he added, "At least, it won't save thousands of American soldiers." ”
Wang Yan said: "No, you are wrong, this concave bomb technology can definitely save thousands of American soldiers." ”
After saying this, Wang Yan continued: "Of course, I have to tell you that the concave bomb technique is only the most insignificant of the many techniques I have mastered. ”
"In addition to concave bullets, I also know of another bullet type technology that can increase the range by 30%."
"In addition to ammunition technology, I also know a subversive anti-infantry mine, as well as an armor technology that can greatly increase the survival rate of tanks on the battlefield."
"These technologies can not only save thousands of American soldiers, but also save a lot of weapons, equipment, materials and funds for the United States!"
"Where?" McLuhan's face changed slightly, "Where are these technologies?" ”
Intuition told McLuhan that Wang Yan should not be lying, what he said should be true.
There is no doubt that these technologies are very important to the United States, not to mention the importance of this goddamn war going on right now.
"Here." Wang Yan pointed to his head and said.
"You're saying it's all your own research?" Once again, McLuhan had a look of suspicion on his face.
Because Wang Yan is so young, so young and still a soldier, McLuhan thinks he is bragging, trying to cheat him out of supplies by making up stories.
"No, that's not my research." Wang Yan shook his head and said, "It's the research result of a professor in Mizuki. ”
"A professor at Mizuki University?" McLuhan believed two more points and asked, "Where is this professor now?" ”
"Dead, killed by a Japanese shell." Wang Yan replied without hesitation, "Before he died, he gave me several techniques that he had studied all his life, and entrusted me with safekeeping, that's all." ”
"What you say is true?" McLuhan was still a little unconvinced.
"You can find someone to verify it." Wang Yandao, "Let's see if the concave bomb can increase the range by 10%?" Then we'll talk about cooperation. ”
After speaking, Wang Yan turned around and walked out of the gate, the purpose of coming here today has been fully achieved, and he has no extravagant hope to gain McLuhan's trust.
However, McLuhan's reaction surprised Wang Yan.
"Wait." McLuhan stopped Wang Yan and asked, "What do you want?" ”
After a pause, McLuhan went on to explain, "I mean, what price do we have to pay in exchange for all these technologies you mentioned? ”
"Supplies." Wang Yan said, "There are also weapons and equipment. ”
"The supplies are easy to handle." McLuhan nodded and shook his head, "But weapons and equipment are not easy to handle." ”
There is no mistake
