The next morning, Wang Haitao came to Alfred Jr.'s office again. Alfred Jr. told Wang Haitao that because of Hitler's consent, there would be no problem with the 40 wheeled armored vehicles that Wang Haitao hoped to buy, but there were several types of armored vehicles officially equipped in the German troops.
One is the Adler 223 light four-wheeled armored car, which is 4.8 meters long, weighs 4.4 tons, has a crew of three people, and is equipped with a 7.92 mm MG34 machine gun. The maximum driving distance is three hundred and twenty kilometers. The other is the Adler 231 six-wheeled heavy armored vehicle, which is 5.57 meters long, weighs 5.356 tons, and is equipped with a crew of four people, equipped with a 20 mm caliber gun and an MG13 machine gun. The maximum driving distance is three hundred kilometers.
When Alfred saw that Wang Haitao had made a good choice, he immediately contacted Daimler ---- Mercedes-Benz. After some discussions, Daimler ---- Mercedes-Benz agreed to sell 30 Type 223 light armored vehicles and 10 Type 231 heavy armored vehicles and supporting parts to Wang Haitao, the total amount was 7.6 million marks, plus Wang Haitao's cars, radios, Mauser pistols and other items, and 10 million marks were gone.
Alfred also took out some of the artillery and shells in the inventory and asked Wang Haitao to take them away this time, and the rest was transported to Guangzhou Port with the guns half a year later. Wang Haitao calculated that the items he would bring back when he returned to China this time were: 50 75-mm infantry guns, 2,000 shells, 20 18 howitzers, 2,000 shells, 10 150K18 heavy guns, 1,000 shells, 100 100-wheeled trucks, 30 light four-wheeled armored vehicles, and 10 heavy six-wheeled armored vehicles.
In addition, there were spare parts for armored vehicles and automobiles, machine gun bullets for armored vehicles, artillery shells, 500 Mauser pistols, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, 100 sets of small radio equipment [this was added later], and telescopes and scopes in the city of Hamburg. Thinking of the scope, Wang Haitao simply opened his mouth and asked Alfred to buy five hundred K98K rifles. It was a trivial matter for Alfred, so he readily agreed.
In order to express Krupp's gratitude to Wang Haitao, Alfred used his connections to contact a medium-sized transport ship for Wang Haitao, and sent all these items to the port of Guangzhou, China, and the freight was all borne by Krupp, and agreed to load the ship at the port of Hamburg in ten days. In this regard, Wang Haitao naturally smiled after thanking him. Wang Haitao knew that his mission in Germany had been completed, and his return to China would be ten days later, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
It has been more than four months since he left China, and his concern for home has returned to his heart, but Wang Haitao did not show it on the surface. Over the next few days, Alfred Jr. demonstrated the strong influence of Krupp. Two arms trains were used to bring artillery to the city of Hamburg. Before that, all 100 10-wheelers needed to be in place.
The rest of the supplies will arrive at the port of Hamburg within 10 days, so Wang Haitao must return to Hamburg first and rent a large warehouse at the port to receive all the supplies until they are put on the freighter. When Wang Haitao said goodbye to Alfred, Alfred sent the deputy manager of the finance department who had returned to Hamburg with Wang Haitao last time, and several of his subordinates, who were used to help Wang Haitao receive supplies and coordinate cargo ships in Hamburg.
Wang Haitao and Marita returned to Hamburg in Alfred's BMW car, with several members of the Krupp company and 500,000 marks in cash. Returning to Hamburg City, it was natural to stay in a Hong Kong hotel, and although the members of the Krupp company were reluctant, the deputy manager as the leader did not object, so how could they dare to speak up.
On the night of Wang Haitao's return to Hamburg, he and Marita told Boss Zhang about Essen's entourage. When Boss Zhang said that Wang Haitao and Marita had been received by Hitler's Führer, his eyes widened in disbelief. It wasn't until Wang Haitao took out the set of Wehrmacht colonel uniforms, military officer ID cards and the Iron Cross first-class medal that Boss Zhang believed it.
The next morning, the deputy manager accompanied Wang Haitao to the Hamburg Port Authority. When the director of the port authority heard that Krupp needed to rent a large warehouse, he enthusiastically gave Wang Haitao one of the largest warehouses in the port at the lowest price. But when the car and the armored car arrived at the Hamburg station one after another, Wang Haitao and the deputy manager were in trouble. Because to drive all a hundred cars and forty armored vehicles to the port of Hamburg, a large number of professional drivers are needed.
The truck is okay, a hundred drivers can be hired for money, but wheeled armored vehicles can't, and they can't hire drivers for money. In desperation, the deputy manager thought of asking for help from the Reich's 2nd Panzer Division stationed in Hamburg in the name of the Krupp company.
So Wang Haitao changed into the uniform of a German Wehrmacht colonel, wore the Iron Cross first-class medal, and drove with the deputy manager to the station of the Second Armored Division of the Reich. After explaining the intention to the guards guarding the door, the guards did not dare to slack off when they saw that Wang Haitao was wearing the uniform of a German Wehrmacht colonel, and quickly made a report to the above.
After being approved, Wang Haitao and they came to the division headquarters of the Second Armored Division of the Empire, Wang Haitao just got out of the car and came to the gate of the division headquarters, and a smiling person came out of the door, Wang Haitao took a closer look, it turned out to be General Guderian. After the two sides made an uproar, Guderian said to Wang Haitao: "I have carefully read your "Blitzkrieg" in the past few days, and I have some ideas in my heart, so I came here to discuss with my old friend, but I didn't expect you to come here. ”
It turned out that Guderian's old friends were Lieutenant General Paul and Hausser, commanders of the Second Armored Division of the Reich. Paul and Lieutenant General Hausser are also enthusiasts of the tactics of the armored forces, and they used to often argue with Guderian about the tactics of some armored forces. Today Guderian hurriedly arrived, took out a book of "Blitzkrieg" and discussed it with him.
Paul and Hausser also admired this "Blitzkrieg" very much, and Guderian said that it would be nice to meet the author. At this moment, the guards came to report that there was an Oriental man outside the gate who was wearing the uniform of a Wehrmacht colonel and wearing the Iron Cross and asked to see the division commander. When Guderian heard this, he said to Paul and Hausser: "Don't you want to meet the author of this book? ”
After saying that, Guderian left the office of Paul and Monsell, and then Wang Haitao met Guderian when he entered the door.
