One hundred and fourteen. Super-rich
It is not easy to gather so many future great generals and big names together, but Wang Weiyi has successfully done it.
When he returned to the front, he received the warmest cheers from the officers and men of the supplementary battalion. Only Guderian said with a straight face: "Sergeant Guo Yunfeng, you will be punished by confinement for violating military discipline and leaving the army without authorization." ”
Wang Weiyi translated the words to Guo Yunfeng, Guo Yunfeng smiled innocently, and didn't care at all. As long as Major Ernst can return safely, the confinement will be confined.
After accepting the welcome of the officers and soldiers, Wang Weiyi had to think carefully about his mission.
In addition to the candidates who have been formulated, Boncreley and Steck must be brought. Sean is a heavy machine gunner and doesn't seem to be very useful.
A total of seventeen men were carefully selected, and as soon as Erwin Rommel arrived, the special detachment was perfected.
As for the purpose of this mission, except for the special detachment, the rest of the supplementary battalion did not know what to do, and Wang Weiyi only told them that he would personally lead the detachment to carry out a reconnaissance mission.
Two MP18 submachine guns were transferred from Xiao Ling, which were used by himself and Guo Yunfeng. The Vera Perosa submachine gun, brought by Berlin, was given to the most powerful Steck.
This Italian Army Colonel B.A. Leveri's invention of the world's first submachine gun, a double-barreled automatic gun, firing 9 mm pistol rounds, because the gun is too high rate of fire, very poor accuracy, and relatively bulky, not suitable for individual use, so it is not very popular, but Perosa is actually intended to be used as an ultra-light machine gun.
Therefore, such a "submachine gun" can still play a role in Reims.
"Rambler, I suggest you bring those two French captives of yours, I'm sure they'll come in handy," Xiao Ling suddenly said at this moment.
French captive? Wang Weiyi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered who it was. The soldier who was captured by himself was not a soldier: Pipondu, the winemaker, and Will Tinland, the tailor.
"What do you take them for?" Wang Weiyi is strange.
"The French love romance, and their taste for fine wine and fine clothes completely outweighs their interest in war," Xiao Ling told the rambler who knew nothing about these two things, "and according to my intelligence, the Supreme Commander of the French Army on the Reims Front, Lieutenant General El Raffarin, was in a fanatical state of interest in these two aspects."
Wang Weiyi let out an "oh": "Will they betray us?" ”
"According to my analysis, the likelihood of betraying you is close to zero. They don't care who they work for, as long as they can save their lives, let them fulfill their dreams, start a winery of their own, and make their own brand of clothing. Speaking of this, Xiao Ling looked very curious: "Rambler, don't you really know who these two people are?" ”
"I don't know who they are, what does it have to do with me?" Wang Weiyi replied inexplicably.
Xiao Ling's words were full of sarcasm: "You are an excellent soldier, but you really have no taste. Pipondu is a descendant of the famous French family of Xigang, the Xigang family may not know the way, but you must know the way of Lafite, right? ”
Lafite? That Lafite, which has been sold for sky-high prices?
"Lafite was created by the Hi-Gon family, and after the death of the third generation of the Hi-Gon family, Lafite property rights entered a period of relatively chaotic history. But the quality of the lafite does not disappoint. It was not until 1868, when Sir James Rothschild won the bid at public auction for a whopping 4.4 million francs, that the Lafite no longer belonged to the Hi-Kon family, and the Hi-Kon family gradually declined. Xiao Ling explained to the wanderer, a tasteless man:
"But the Higan family has come to this generation with Pipondu Higon, your captive. In the future, he will reinvigorate his family's prestige and become a giant in the wine industry by buying Château Margaux, one of the four Châteaux de la Lafite. ”
Wang Weiyi began to feel curious, but he didn't expect that the prisoner he captured would still be a giant in the wine industry in the future. If I had shot him that day, would there still be this "giant"?
"As for that Will Tinland, it's even more famous." Xiao Ling sighed, and seemed to be "disdainful" by the ignorance of the Rambler: "He is the grandson of Gerston Tinland, and Gerston founded a silk thread factory, and the name of this silk thread factory is - Meng Tejiao!" ”
Meng Tejiao? God, the multinational brand Meng Tejiao that has swept the whole world?
Wang Weiyi felt a little dizzy, the two future tycoons were in front of him, and he didn't know what to do.
"The current scale of Montejiao is still very small, but after the end of the First World War, it will soon grow in the hands of Wyvern Tingland." Xiao Ling carefully explained: "In 1925, under the leadership of Will Tingland, Meng Tejiao launched women's underwear and stockings with knitting for the first time, and successfully launched brand awareness. During the Second World War, there was a shortage of natural silk raw materials, prompting Meng Tejiao to invent rayon to replace natural silk. This polyamine fabric, which is processed in multiple stages, produces a unique silk fabric that is comparable in appearance, comfort and feel to natural silk, while its strength and durability are similar to that of nylon. This knitwear, called 'bright silk', became the signature of Mengtejiao. And the leader of the invention was also Will Timland. ”
Wang Weiyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "That means that these two captives will be super-rich in the future?" ”
"In terms of their assets at the time, they were definitely super-rich"
"Xiaoling, how do you say I invest in them now?" Wang Weiyi asked in a daze: "Does that mean that I also own the shares of Château Margaux and Montejiao?" Will I become a super-rich person in the future? ”
"It's possible." Xiao Ling's answer is very refreshing: "When you go back to, for example, the 60s and 80s, you will have great wealth."
Super-rich? Wang Weiyi never dreamed that one day he would become super-rich.
That's a good idea, but where to get such a sum of money to invest in them? I am so poor that investment can only be a dream.
sighed, such a good opportunity to make a fortune was in front of him, but he couldn't do anything because he had no money. To talk about himself as a baron would be considered shabby, except for a pitifully small manor rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor, there is nothing else.
However, Pipondu Higan and Will Tinland are now two treasures in Wang Weiyi's eyes.
