74 Ford sedan and foreign gun tickets
There is now an extra Ford sedan in the house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Looking at the newly purchased American sedan parked in the garage that existed during the Showa period, I couldn't help but feel weird.
This thing is the Ford Model T (English: Ford Model T; Commonly known as: TinLizzie or Flivver) is an automobile product launched by the Ford Motor Company founded by Henry Ford in the United States from 1908 to 1927. But it's been a hundred years now. This thing has long been discontinued.
Now, the Ford T model sedan is popular in Manchukuo?
No, it's the result of His Majesty's brain. Compared with the minivans and second-hand RB cars of domestic automobile factories that can be purchased for 200-300 silver yuan coupons, the price of this thing is 600 silver yuan coupons, which are expensive and difficult to use.
Listen to your father's exact words. The Ford Model T needs to be repaired every 200 kilometers or so. It's a structural flaw that can't be changed.
So people often exclaim: 12,000 dollars to buy this thing? It's expensive and it's not easy to use!
However, under the brains of His Majesty, the princes and ministers still bought a large number of them.
Because in this country, it is often the people above who like what the people below follow the trend to buy. Seeing that the princes and ministers bought the Ford Model T, many middle and lower-level officials also bought a façade. Even a petty official like Shimizu, the gendarmerie soldier Cao, used the money from corruption and bribery in Dongzhou to buy a Ford Model T to install a façade.
Although the structure of this car is old, it is still quite expensive. But the only advantage of this gasoline-engined sedan is that it does not pick fuel, not only gasoline, but also diesel-type cars under the conditions of a replica. But the downside is to shake the handle...... It feels like an old-fashioned tractor......
Although the car has a battery and a fixed hard drive to play Broadway music from the 20s in the United States, it just doesn't have an electric lighter, yes, it has to shake the handle every time it is started.
When the car was starting, the knob broke the wrists of several of the princes' ministers' coachman bodyguards, and it was only then that the puppet emperor and the factory engineers noticed this problem and made improvements.
However, previous sedans were like this. At least the cars of the Showa era should be like this, right?
Thinking wildly in his head, he watched Shimizu Juncao drive his newly purchased Ford Model T to the commander's villa.
Carrying a Dayang knife, plus the M1910 flower mouth masticator that Qing Shui Jun Cao was given from the commander's house, and a ghost army Cao uniform. Tsk, this is enough to show a good style. Driven by such a trend, for a time, the organs in Mukden and Dongzhou Cao, all got World War II military uniforms and ocean knives to carry on their waists, and fake beards stuck to their mouths, which is said to have an excellent effect on the streets. Those Diao people were scared when they saw it. After the devils went to the streets, the work went smoothly, and now the devils feel more refreshed.
"Miss!" The Qing Shui gendarme, who was carrying a big ocean knife and a flower mouth, greeted Xiao Lu, and then walked into the reception room of the commander's villa under the guidance of Xiao Ning.
Walking into the reception room, after greetings, everyone began to say their purpose.
"Miss, Your Majesty is very satisfied with the first half of your manuscript." Qing Shui Juncao said.
"I'm really sorry, but the rest of the manuscript won't be written until I've finished my tour of the North and East Districts. Now I have only heard of the North Sector and have only been there once, and I have not had any on-the-ground discussions with the officials of the North Sector, except for the interrogation of Red Guard prisoners of war. But in the Eastern District, I don't know anything about the Eastern District at all. So...... My manuscript is only half completed, and now the Soviets are here. A lot of things have changed. And this time, I am sorting out the manuscripts and what I have seen. ”
"It's okay, Miss, when you're free, we can still go to Dongzhou. This time, we went in a new car that we bought. Shimizu pointed to the Ford sedan outside with an interested expression. Now the price is 600 silver yuan coupons, and I heard from the people of Mantong FAW that in the future, this car can be reduced to 360 silver yuan coupons when the production is large enough......"
"Oh? Why would Your Majesty want to produce such a car? It feels like the car is not economical. And I also inquired, this kind of sedan only has 3 gears, 2 forward gears, and one reverse gear. The top speed is only 45 kilometers per hour. And the fuel consumption is not low, 7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers......"
"Miss, the above explanation is that the Ford sedan can be used in the city, and because of the low speed, it can effectively reduce the probability of traffic accidents. This kind of car can only reach a speed of 45 kilometers per hour by pressing the accelerator pedal to the end, and it cannot cause serious traffic accidents. And although the fuel consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers looks quite high, this is already a lot more fuel-efficient than ordinary cars. And although this kind of car needs maintenance after running 200 kilometers, if you drive a short distance in the city, this is not a problem at all, and the most important thing is ......" Qing Shui leaned over to Xiao Lu's side and deliberately whispered with his hand to one side of his mouth.
"And what?"
"Moreover, this T-type car was personally said to be made by His Majesty, and it is said to have something to do with your book." Qing Shui said in a low voice.
"Something to do with my book?" Hu Xiaolu was confused.
"Yes, Your Majesty read Miss Green's Dongzhou travelogue, and then received an order for a batch of Thomson submachine guns from the Mafia in the Eastern District of Dongzhou, so he opened his mind. Ordered the production of the Ford Model T ......"
"Thomson submachine gun...... That kind of weapon, what does the mafia want to do with that? ”
"Miss, you don't know, you are not in Dongzhou this month, but a lot of things have happened. Now there are Ford T-cars running everywhere in Dongzhou, and those who don't have this kind of car are embarrassed to call themselves dignitaries. As for the Thomson submachine gun, it is called the Chicago typewriter in its internal designation. This was ordered by Shota Higashiyama from His Majesty. Exactly what the East End mafia wants. ”
"Mafia...... Chicago typewriter? But will this weapon be able to withstand the Soviets' attack? That kind of gun doesn't have much combat effectiveness against the regular army. Hu Xiaolu looked incomprehensible.
"yes, I don't understand it either. But the mafia thinks they can do it...... Oh, by the way, Miss, here's a photo of me and some big people in Dongzhou, look at ......" Shimizu took out his phone.
Looking at the photo of Qing Shui Jun Cao holding a big ocean knife and a group of suspected mafia figures wearing gentleman's hats and suits on his mobile phone, Hu Xiaolu couldn't help but feel that he had seen something terrible: "Qing Shui Jun, this sense of disobedience in this era...... Feel...... It's like, it's like crossing over......"
Speaking of crossing, Qing Shui Juncao couldn't help but be triumphant, and then began to continue to introduce the affairs of Dongzhou:
"Miss, don't you know, a lot of things have happened in Dongzhou recently......"
"A lot has happened in Dongzhou, what happened? I've been busy these days. Hu Xiaolu also wanted to know what happened in less than a month after he left Dongzhou?
"Alas, don't you know, Miss, Dongzhou City is very lively now, except for the Soviets in Jiangbei, the big names in the South and West Districts have not stopped. Dongshan Heavy Industries has now made a military hand ticket. Qing Shui took out a few banknotes-like things from his pocket and showed them to Midori.
"Dongshan Heavy Industries Hand Ticket...... For shopping, it can be discounted into a silver dollar coupon...... What can this be used for? Hu Xiaolu read the handwriting on the military hand ticket of Dongshan Heavy Industries.
"Miss, this can be used to buy guns and ammunition from Dongshan Heavy Industries, and now there is a Soviet invasion in Jiangbei. All the bigwigs are desperately collecting guns and ammunition, so Dongshan Heavy Industries sent this. This kind of military hand ticket can be used to purchase arms and ammunition from Dongshan Military Industry, and it has priority compared to the current ocean. ”
"Oh? And what's going on? Hu Xiaolu, who was holding a military hand ticket, couldn't help but be surprised.
"It's true...... Shimizu began to introduce the recent incident about the issuance of military hand tickets by the Higashiyama and Sato families.
After discussion, Higashiyama Shota and Sato Shota came up with a military hand ticket system in order to facilitate settlement and reduce the current ocean expenditure.
As a result, after investigation, the two found that Mu Linjun ate and lived in the factory, and his salary was also bought at the sales point in the factory. It does meet the conditions for circulating military hand tickets. Therefore, Dongshan, which has tight cash flow, issued a hand ticket for Dongshan Heavy Industries. Discount a portion of the cash.
That is to say, a coolie of the Mulin Army can only receive one to two yuan of the ocean a month, and the rest of the money is issued with a military hand ticket.
However, because of the war outside and the need for a large number of guns and ammunition, soon, the brainy Mu Linjun found that foreign guns in short supply could be sold at a higher price in the market. For example, a coolie can earn a basic salary of 6 yuan, and if he buys 175 pistol bullets or 100 rifle bullets for 5 foreign gun tickets, he can sell them for 7-10 oceans...... At this time, everyone cried and shouted that this is a foreign gun ticket, not pocket money.
However, taking care of everyone's emotions and considering the need to buy other goods privately, Higashiyama Shota still thinks that it is better to send one dollar a month, all of which are issued with military hand tickets, and it is estimated that even the human meat buns that Mu Linjun loves to eat can't be bought.
However, Dongshan seems to have underestimated the greed of the countrymen, and those Wood Forest troops were insatiable and died. In addition, the canteen also said that it could accept the foreign gun tickets of the Mulin army, and even Baozi Liu enthusiastically responded to the call of Taijun to circulate military hand tickets, allowing the officers and soldiers of Mulin who bought human meat buns in the steamed bun shop to pay with foreign gun tickets to meet the material needs of the working people......
In the end, seeing that Baozi Liu Du had contributed to the great cause of the imperial kingdom, Dongshan was also very moved, and naturally he was as good as a stream, and simply settled the bill with foreign gun tickets for his subordinates' salaries.
Seeing that Higashiyama Heavy Industries' token coupons are doing well, Sato, who looks like a profiteer and arms dealer, is also going to do it. After all, Dongshan issued token coupons, which will have a great role in raising funds for corporate operations, and almost grab money from the whole society. But Sato can't help it when he sees what Higashiyama is doing well, because the reputation of the Sato family's weapons is stinky because of the last Red Guards' defeat in the battle.
So I had to find another way!
At first glance, Shota Sato, who looks like an arms trafficker, quickly found a candidate: Huh? See the right person!
That is the old man of the Jade Emperor with a sad face!
The kind of Wang Laohan who ***** the army does not pick the quality of the weapon, only the price. When I saw Sato's revolver, I felt that it was cheap, and the rolling locking rifle made by Sato was not expensive! So Sato is also trying to find a way to equip the rearmed Wang Lao Han Army with Sato firearms, and Sato also threw a lot of coins and sent a lot of earthen gun tickets to the Japanese army.
Recently, I heard that the above likes wasteland trucks, so they spent a lot of money to buy large trucks and gasoline, and even bought MiG-25 jet aircraft engines and installed them on trucks, so they had no choice but to sell the Dongshan arms in their hands to pay back the Red Guards in Jiangbei to buy aircraft engines, and then use the cheap Sato guns to use......
And the Sato family also got new weapons, black powder revolvers and ratchet magazine pistols, and even a 254mm longer barrel and butt as a 600mm ratchet magazine carbine with an effective range of about 100 meters, black powder loading, magazine loading 15 rounds, basically can be regarded as a semi-automatic gun, and there is a rolling locking single-shot rifle at a distance that can be provided to snipers, and the effect is also good...... The most important thing is that it is cheap, nine dollars and nine free shipping! For a while, those who couldn't afford or couldn't buy Higashiyama weapons came to buy Sato weapons, because the goods bought by Sato's military workers were relatively earthy, not as good as Higashiyama's foreign guns, and not as good as Higashiyama's guns, so they were called earthen gun tickets.
