Chapter 591: The Eagle Over London (5)
"Ruger?"
Hill's voice was so loud that quite a few people around him heard it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"God, what do I see? It's Ruger...... It's the Ruger P08 pistol! ”
An even sharper voice rang out, and this voice resounded throughout the bar, and for a while, almost everyone's eyes in the entire bar focused on the elegantly shaped pistol in Du Changfeng's hand.
Seeing so many people looking at him with such hot eyes, Rao is Du Changfeng was quite bold, but he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for a while, and he stammered a little and asked Hill: "Colonel Hill, what's wrong with those people?" ”
Hill looked at the Luger P08 pistol in Du Changfeng's hand with an obsessive look in his eyes, and after hearing Du Changfeng's words, he almost roared in a roaring voice: "Major, don't you even understand the meaning of the Luger pistol for a soldier?" ”
Du Changfeng looked at Colonel Hill with idiotic eyes: "Meaning? What's the point, could it be that the power of this gun can penetrate a tank? No matter how meaningful he is, it's just a pistol for self-defense. ”
"Oh...... Forgive this ignorant sinner, O God! Colonel Hill almost covered his face with his hand, but it only took two seconds for him to snatch the gun in Du Changfeng's hand, and then asked solemnly: "Du, do you really want to give me this pistol?" ”
"Of course!" Du Changfeng looked at Hill's serious eyes, and nodded a little puzzled, in his opinion, it was just a pistol, how could this guy look nervous.
Seeing Du Changfeng's affirmative answer again, Hill's bearded face showed a happy expression, he carefully stroked the pistol and put it on his chest, with a happy look on his face: "God, I can actually get a Luger P08, God really loves me too much." Speaking of this, he said to Du Changfeng with a solemn expression: "Du, don't worry, I will keep this gun well, and I will pass it on as a family heirloom from generation to generation!" ”
Seeing Hill treasure the Luger pistol, the British officers and soldiers who were staring at them around them all showed envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes, as if they were entangled in seeing a beautiful woman throw herself into the arms of others.
Seeing the expressions of these British people around him, Du Changfeng only felt full of confusion, he, a Chinese man, naturally didn't understand what a Luger pistol meant to officers from Western countries like Hill.
The Ruger P08 9mm semi-automatic pistol is the most representative pistol of World War I and World War II, it is a kind of glory of German soldiers, influencing that special era, and even in the 21st century, it is still one of the world's famous pistols. Due to the extremely high production process requirements, complex structure, many parts and components, and high cost, the gun was not suitable for a large number of weapons in wartime, the gun was replaced by the P38 pistol produced by the Karl ****** Arms Factory in Germany in 1938, and the production of the Luger P08 pistol slowly decreased, and it was not until 1942 that mass production officially ended.
Since the Luger pistol was only available to German officers, it was really rare on the battlefield and was a symbol of the glory of the German Empire. So for the Allied soldiers, having it is like conquering the enemy, and it can also prove that you are a good warrior.
In later generations, there was an American drama called "Band of Brothers" that truly reflected the love of Allied soldiers for Luger, and many American soldiers dreamed of getting a Luger pistol on the battlefield, and some even died for it. Another soldier, Huber, was lucky enough to pick up one, and because he liked it so much, he kept the gun in his trouser pocket, and then the Luger gun unfortunately misfired, breaking his thigh artery, and his life ended on this trophy.
Every Confederate army dreams of being able to take a luger home. However, getting it may also be a ticket to heaven, since Ruger is a symbol of the German Empire, he naturally has a pride that cannot be disgraced, so if the German army captures an enemy who dares to take Ruger, it will be killed without mercy, as a warning to the enemy!
But as the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance. The more the Germans valued Ruger, the more the Allied soldiers were eager to get a Luger, so when Du Changfeng gave the Luger pistol to Colonel Hill, Hill showed a look of surprise that understandable.
Seeing Du Changfeng's puzzled expression, Hill, who got the Luger pistol, carefully put the pistol away, and then slowly told the history of the Luger pistol.
Hearing Hill say this, Du Changfeng and Ma Kaihang couldn't help but look at each other. Since pilots like them are free to choose their guns, the pilots have a variety of guns, including Browning, Browning M1935 pistols, and Beretta M1934 pistols, and many pilots who prefer the exquisite craftsmanship of the Luger pistol and choose this pistol.
After being stunned for a long time, Ma Kaihang asked tentatively: "Colonel, is the Luger pistol really so valuable?" ”
"Of course!" Hill replied in the affirmative.
"That'...... Can you help me see, how is my Ruger? After Ma Kaihang finished speaking, he carefully took out another pistol from his waist and placed it in front of Hill.
"Ah......h
Another scream rang through the bar, and by this time Ciel's face was already red with excitement. The pistol placed in front of Hill at this time is also a Luger pistol in terms of shape, but its length is much longer than the Luger that Du Changfeng just now, and it is at least twice as long as it is visually examined, and its length is more than two hundred millimeters.
"This ...... This is the Luger artillery type! ”
As Hill's words fell, the British soldiers and officers in the bar all came around with a cheer, surrounding Hill's table, and countless pairs of eyes spewed hot gazes like beasts that had seen beautiful women.
"Artillery-type Ruger, God, is today my lucky day, I actually saw the legendary artillery-type Ruger!"
"Saeki, pinch me to see if I'm dreaming!"
The bar, which was originally quite orderly, was all boiling at the moment, and Ma Kaihang naturally didn't know what the Luger pistol he inadvertently chose meant. The same is the Luger pistol, but there are also high and low, the Luger pistol is a treasure, but there are also several models, the Luger P08 pistol has many kinds of deformation guns, according to the caliber of 9mm and 7.65mm two. According to the length of the barrel, there are standard 102mm, navy 152mm, artillery 203mm, carbine 298mm, and commercial 89mm, and what he is now taking out is the most cherished and rarest artillery type.
If the Luger standard type that Du Changfeng gave to Hill just now is a treasure, then the artillery type is a treasure in the collection, produced by the German DWM company in 1914~1918, because it has been discontinued for more than ten years, the world's stock will not exceed 20,000, so it is extremely precious, it is no wonder that the British in the bar have always been so self-proclaimed.
"Second Lieutenant, give me this gun, I'm willing to pay a hundred pounds!" A British Navy captain said impatiently.
The officer's words were booed, and even Hill couldn't help but mock: "Man, are you sure it's a hundred pounds?" You must know that this is a Luger artillery type that has been discontinued for more than ten years! ”
"I ......" The captain blushed and said with some embarrassment, "Colonel, this is already all the money I have." ”
"Man, since you don't have any money, I'll trouble you to let me." A major squeezed in and said loudly: "Second lieutenant from Huaxia, I will pay three thousand pounds, as long as you are willing to buy me this gun, I am willing to give you three thousand pounds!" ”
"...... Uproar"
As soon as the major's words came out, there was an uproar around him. You must know that a Browning automatic pistol was only twenty dollars in the first year, and if three thousand pounds were converted into dollars, it would be fifteen thousand dollars, and if it was cashed into oceans, it would be more than thirty thousand oceans.
What does 3,000 pounds mean to people in this era, if you are in England, 3,000 pounds can buy a good villa, let alone in the sparsely populated United States, it is enough to buy a small farm, and what can you do in China with more than 30,000 oceans? 30,000 oceans is enough for Ma Kaihang to buy hundreds of acres of land, and then marry four or five wives to live comfortably for a lifetime, which is already very high.
Everyone's eyes looked at Ma Kaihang to see what this second lieutenant from China would do, but in most people's opinion, this second lieutenant would sell this pistol eight times out of ten, after all, if you sell a pistol, you can get a comfortable life in the next life, and they have to agree to it.
However, Ma Kaihang was destined to disappoint them, and I saw Ma Kaihang smile and say to the major in English: "I'm sorry Mr. Major, I won't sell this gun." You know, this is the first pistol I got in my life, and it is also the only artillery-type Luger pistol in our 1st Air Division. I don't want to be speechless when my children and grandchildren ask me what I have left for him when I am dying, so I can only regret to say sorry to you. ”
"Oh, that's a shame!" The major shrugged helplessly to express pity, but he still said to Ma Kaihang seriously: "Second lieutenant, if you change your mind one day, you can come to me at any time, this price is the same." ”
"Thank you!" Seeing that this naval major was such a bachelor, Ma Kaihang also had a good impression of him and agreed seriously.
At this time, the onlookers also knew that the possibility of buying this artillery-type Luger pistol from the Chinese pilot was almost zero, after all, people were not even tempted by three thousand pounds, let alone those who could not afford the price.
At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Man, if you want to sell this gun, you can sell it to me, and I will pay five thousand pounds!" ”
Everyone followed the sound, but when they saw the comer, everyone was stunned...... (To be continued.) )
