Chapter 34 The Chinese Visitor

On the opening day of the exhibition, thousands of people poured into the exhibition site, and in addition to the staff of the exhibitors' delegation, more than 1,000 people came to Stockholm from all over the world. Among them are members of military delegations, i.e. delegations sent by governments to negotiate arms purchase agreements; There are researchers of military research institutes; There are professors and experts from military academies; There are businessmen looking for opportunities to work together.

In front of the booths of various exhibitors, a lot of people gathered. In particular, the booth of the organizer Bofors was even more crowded. Because Bofors exhibited two unusual weapons, visitors were curious to find out, especially the professionals, who rushed to the front of the booth as soon as they heard that Bofors had a new product on display.

Bofors' booth is actually the largest among all the exhibitors' booths, after all, it is the organizer, and Bofors also pulled out a 105mm light howitzer for the physical exhibition, just this big guy covers a lot of area. In addition, there is a full-scale model of the Vulcan machine gun made by Philip, which is definitely a big one in the exhibits, covering an area of almost ten square meters. In addition to these two big guys, there is also a Type 30 75mm mountain gun, which is not small, and there are more than a dozen unique Gungnir assault rifles on the stand.

Many people crowded to the front and picked up the Gungnir assault rifles on the booth to take a closer look. Because I don't want to say that I have ever heard of a rifle of this shape, I have never heard of it. However, although the appearance is very unique, the appearance is quite beautiful, of course, in the eyes of most people. There are also a very small number of people who think that this shape is too ugly, and the rifle should be made of good wood, and this so-called assault rifle, which uses all plastic and metal, is a complete gimmick, maybe a weapon that is not useful!

At Bofors' booth, Philip personally sat down, handing out weapons materials to visitors and patiently doing professional interpretations. Philip's in-depth explanation attracted a lot of audiences, including three oriental faces, and Philip also noticed, because these three faces were completely different from the surrounding Western white people, and Philip knew that they were Chinese at a glance. To say that the three countries in East Asia, China, Japan and North Korea, all look similar, but they can still be distinguished at a glance. Because the temperament of the people of these three countries is completely different.

Among the three Chinese, a young woman of twenty-four or five, looked like an interpreter because she kept translating Philip's English into Chinese, speaking to the other two. The other two, one is a general who is about forty years old, with a resolute character written on his face in the Chinese character, a burly and straight body like an old pine, and looks like an iron-blooded soldier who has fought many battles, and Philip can also see from his military uniform that he is a lieutenant general. The other was a young female officer of twenty-four or five years old, tall and beautiful, and even more heroic in a standard military uniform.

While listening to the female translator relay Philip's explanation in Chinese, the two nodded from time to time, and the young female officer looked at Philip not far away from time to time, with a look of curiosity in her eyes. Because she was very surprised that this young man who looked about the same age as herself was actually the designer of the Vulcan machine gun and the Gungnir assault rifle on the booth, and he was also the deputy chief engineer of Bofors! Such a person is simply a genius that is rare in a hundred years!

The female officer basically understood the basic principles and performance of the Vulcan machine gun and the Gungnir assault rifle through the translation, and immediately became deeply interested in these two weapons, and the lieutenant general was even more so. If these two weapons arrive in China, they will definitely bring earth-shaking changes to the combat effectiveness of the army. Vulcan cannons can be used not only for air defense, but also for attacking enemy armored vehicles, this stormy rate of fire is simply a big killer on the battlefield, a trump card! And that assault rifle is also not simple, its firepower is too fierce, a magazine of thirty rounds, can be fired continuously, can be shot, and can be single-shot, this automatic rifle is too important for soldiers.

Seeing that there were fewer people around Philip, the three of them immediately squeezed in front of Philip. At this time, Philip also saw that they were very interested in the Vulcan machine gun and the Gungnir assault rifle.

Of course, Philip was also very happy to sell these advanced weapons to China, because in another time and space, the war in the Central Plains between the central government and local powers had just come to an end, and less than a year later, on September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army in Northeast China suddenly attacked Shenyang and attacked Northeast China by force. Japan created the "Wicker Lake Incident" and launched a war against Northeast China, quickly occupying the three northeastern provinces. The September 18 Incident is even regarded by many scholars as the beginning of World War II.

The three northeastern provinces were rapidly occupied by the Japanese Kwantung Army, and in addition to the weakness of the Chinese side, especially the Northeast Army, the backwardness of their weapons and equipment was also one of the important reasons. If some advanced weapons can be sold to the Chinese side, although it may not be able to prevent the Japanese Kwantung Army from occupying the three northeastern provinces, it will at least be able to greatly improve the equipment level of the Chinese army, thereby inflicting greater casualties and attrition on the Japanese army and making the Japanese invaders pay a greater price.

The young female officer squeezed in front of Philip, a pair of dark eyes looked up at Philip's handsome face without blinking, her bright cherry lips opened slightly, and she spit out a string of pleasant voices: "Mr. Philip, we are very interested in your company's weapons, can you tell us more about it?" ”

The female officer spoke in Chinese, and the female translator hurriedly relayed these words to Philip in English. Of course, Philip wouldn't just say that I understand Chinese, that would be too abrupt. However, the long-lost Chinese language made Philip feel extremely cordial and warm, and he was facing a beautiful Chinese female officer.

In front of Philip's tall body, the female officer looked more petite. Philip enthusiastically stretched out his big hand and had a close contact with the slender jade hand of the female officer, and after the two shook it, Philip was even more surprised to find that although the female officer's hand was very soft, it was very powerful, and it did not seem to be a vase.

Philip looked at the female officer with a smile and said, "Dear friends from the East, are you from China?" I feel very honored to be able to serve the beautiful lady! But let me introduce myself, my name is Philip, and I am the deputy chief engineer of Bofors. Excuse me, what do you call this young lady and the general? ”

When the interpreter paraphrased Philip's words in Chinese, the female officer opened her mouth in surprise, "Mr. Philip, you actually see that we are Chinese, it's really amazing!" Let me introduce you, this is the head of our delegation, General Dai Yulong; And I am the deputy head of the delegation, and my name is Bai Wanrou. This is our translator, Ms. Lin Qiuyue. ”
