Chapter 14 Buying a Car in the South
"It's not a manufacturer, it's a transformation manufacturer! That's always right, right? Hu Fei rolled his eyes involuntarily. How can this Tang Zhongming look like an unsophisticated nerd? Isn't it just a name, who doesn't know what it means?
"It's a retrofit manufacturer." Tang Zhongming nodded solemnly, "Due to the large-scale invasion of the Japanese invaders, a large number of cities and towns in my country have fallen, so this charcoal car modification factory has moved west along with a large number of other factories. If Commander Hu wants to buy it, the long distance is one aspect, and the inconvenience of transportation is another factor. â
"Thousands of kilometers from the renovated factory in the southwest to Luoyang, in case of a battle or bombing by enemy planes along the way, let alone a car, even if the people in the car can save their lives. The risk is so high, does Commander Hu feel that there is still a need to buy it? â
Tang Zhongming said in case, in fact, this is inevitable. Since Hu Fei wants to buy it, he won't just buy one or two, at least he has to buy a dozen. With so many charcoal cars on the road together, that's a medium-sized car fleet.
The thousand-mile road is full of bumps and bumps, the requisition of the national army, the interception of the Japanese troops, the aerial bombardment of devil planes, plus the robbery of bandits and vehicle accidents, there are too many uncertain factors. If you want to successfully drive back to Luoyang, you have to go through a thousand hardships and deaths!
Tang Zhongming talked about things, and listening to him put the reason in this way, Hu Fei really felt that it was not cost-effective to spend so much effort to buy a car. But his eyes rolled again, and the character of not admitting defeat in his heart took the upper hand again.
"What's not cost-effective, the risk of the War of Resistance is higher, but I'm still fighting with devils with a gun? Neither the chairman nor the military and civilians of the whole country surrendered. Compared with the risk of the Anti-Japanese War, how risky is it to drive a few cars back from thousands of miles away? Mr. Tang, you don't have to think about transportation, I just ask if you can help me buy a charcoal car, right? â
"Yes!" Tang Zhongming gave Hu Fei a reply with only one word. Next, of course, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Commander Hu is going to the south to buy a car! After Hu Fei inadvertently said this news at a certain military meeting, it immediately caused a sensation among the middle and high-ranking officers of the 88th Column. Of course, there are many who rejoice, and there are many who oppose it. Among them, the most vocal opposition was the cavalry commander Ji Jinbiao.
The veteran general of the 88th Column asked Hu Fei in person: "Commander, is it necessary for you to take such a big risk and spend so much money to buy a Rausch car?" With my cavalry regiment here, where do you want to go, can't our cavalry regiment go? According to me, if you have that money, you might as well buy more good horses, expand the size of the cavalry regiment a little more, and simply expand it into a cavalry brigade and pull it down! â
"What do you dream about? Haven't woken up yet, have you? Expand the cavalry regiment into a cavalry brigade, then you will not become a brigade commander? You're a good leopard. Commander, you can't promise him! "Of course, the one who made such a loud coax and didn't save face for Ji Jinbiao at all was Gou Tianxiao. No one else dared but him.
"What the leopard said is right, the cavalry regiment will be expanded into a cavalry brigade in the future!" Hu Fei said lightly, Ji Jinbiao was overjoyed, but the others were dumbfounded.
He didn't care what other people's expressions were, he just said: "Not only the cavalry regiment, but also our first and second regiments, and independent regiments, will be expanded into brigades and even divisions in the future!" However, we also have a car, why don't we have a car if the little devil has it? Little devils have to walk and ride horses when they take a car? I tell you that our goal is to be stronger than the devil in all aspects! â
Hu Fei's call choked all the opponents' words in their throats. Since there was no objection to it, the matter was so certain. Hu Fei selected 60 elites from the guard company, reconnaissance battalion, and independent regiment, and 40 of them were drivers who could drive.
It is worth mentioning that this time Feng Yi followed Hu Fei south to buy a car, while Zhang Yayi, who had acted with Hu Fei every time before, stayed in Luoyang. Zhang Nuxia's ankle injury is not yet good, and it is not suitable for long journeys. And Feng Yi, as Hu Fei's money bag, naturally got this rare opportunity to accompany him alone.
Usually Zhang Yayi and Feng Yi have the best relationship, although there is one more Xiuzhen now, but due to their different backgrounds and experiences, Xiuzhen and them have a good relationship together, but they still can't talk about everything like the two of them.
was about to go out, Zhang Yayi took Feng Yi's hand and muttered in a low voice for more than two hours, no one knew what the two of them discussed. Hu Fei explained some precautions to Xiuzhen, and the little girl nodded again and again.
After all the preparations were made, Hu Fei left the barracks with his car-buying task force and headed south all the way to the Southwest Automobile Reconstruction Factory.
Tang Zhongming, as a guide and a bridge of communication between buyers and sellers, naturally had to accompany him to the south. Originally, they planned to discuss the construction of the factory with the commander of the war zone, but they didn't see Wei Lihuang himself after going there several times, and Tang Zhongming was a little lacking in confidence. After Hu Fei learned of the situation, he made a guarantee to Tang Zhongming: As long as you help me buy a charcoal car, I will be left to meet with Chief Wei!
It was precisely because of Hu Fei's guarantee that Tang Zhongming agreed to accompany him to the south to buy a car. It seems like a long time to run to the rear of Southwest University, but if he can't find a way to stay in Luoyang, won't it be a waste of time?
Therefore, running a long distance but getting Hu Fei's help is quite cost-effective for Tang Zhongming. Hu Fei didn't expect that this Tang Zhongming seemed to be weak, but in fact, his body was quite strong. On the way to the southwest, he suffered a lot of saddle horse fatigue, but Mr. Tang did not apply for a special care.
The Jinghan Railway was accused by the Japanese, even if Hu Fei wanted to take the train with makeup, it was estimated that he would be recognized by the devil who checked the ticket, so he just walked. From Luoyang to the Southwest Automobile Transformation Factory, Hu Fei walked for more than half a month. When you meet a car, you sit, and if you don't have a car, you walk on two legs. After 20 days of arduous trekking, Tang Zhong told Hu Fei that two more slopes would be the legendary car tuning factory.
It's finally time to get to the place! Hu Fei felt that his legs couldn't move a step like lead, and he rested in place!
The order to rest was given, and he sat on the ground and never remembered again. Looking around, except for a few people with guns and guards, all the others sat on the ground like Hu Fei. This journey down the body lĂŹ consumption is too great. If you don't take the time to rest, it's a problem to go back.
As soon as he took the kettle from Yuan Fang's hand, someone interrupted him, "Brother Fei, should we go directly to the arsenal or go somewhere else first?" Naturally, it was Feng Yi who spoke. Looking at the sharp chin of this big beauty, Hu Fei suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart.
