Chapter Seventy-Eight: Developing a Tank
readx;? The convoy drove overnight to the Krupp headquarters in Essen, and finally at noon the next day, the convoy entered Krupp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoAlfred is already in the office, and the professional inspectors are all in place. As soon as the convoy drove into the company's gates, Alfred led the inspectors to a specially set up testing room.
The escort team carried all the forty boxes of gold into the testing room, and after Wang Haitao and several people checked that all the lead seals were intact, Alfred gave an order, and all the forty boxes were opened, and the entire testing room was filled with golden light. The golden light made everyone's eyes widen. A piece of gold wouldn't be too inconspicuous, and in the eyes of someone like Alfred, it wouldn't care too much.
But four tons of gold stacked together are far more shocking than five million dollar bills piled together. After being shocked, Alfred patted Wang Haitao's shoulder excitedly and said, "Great, I think I will be very happy to see these golds as a head of state." Let's get out of here, and I'm sure it won't be long before the gold test reports will appear on my desk. ”
After saying this, Alfred turned around and left the testing room, and Wang Haitao also left the place after him. At the door of the testing room, the captain of the escort team was personally leading people to guard here, and when he saw Alfred and Wang Haitao staying from inside, he was busy standing up and saluting. Alfred, who was in a good mood, said: "You have behaved well this time, and in a while each of you will go to the finance department to receive a bonus of one hundred marks." ”
The captain of the guard hurriedly thanked Alfred, and his eyes showed joy. After returning to the office, Alfred said that when he was producing a new tank, he encountered a problem, that is, the turret rotation device had never been produced before, and he didn't know how to produce it for a while.
The two of them discussed tank construction in their office while waiting for the results of the test. Two hours later, the inspectors sent the test report. Alfred quickly picked up the test report and read it carefully. It took Alfred a while to read the test report. Alfred, who put down the test report, smiled happily.
Alfred said to Wang Haitao: "Mr. Wang, after testing, your batch of gold is exactly as you said, the fineness has reached 991.0, the fineness is quite good, and the weight is exactly 4,000 kilograms. If, according to the bank's exchange price, this batch of gold can be exchanged for 2,079,600 marks, which is between the great contribution you have made to our Krupp company, and this batch of gold is also purchased by our Krupp company, then I have decided to buy it for 20.5 million marks, Mr. Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Haitao replied: "Then thank you Mr. Alfred, I need 500,000 marks in cash to pay for my shipment in Hamburg, and the remaining 20 million marks will be placed in your Krupp company as an advance payment for my arms order." But I have one more thing, and I hope to have Mr. Alfred's help. ”
Alfred replied with a smile: "If there is anything Mr. Wang can say, if you can help, I will definitely help." Wang Haitao said: "In addition to the arms I ordered, I also hope to get 500 Mauser pistols, each with two magazines and 10,000 bullets. 400 ten-wheeled trucks, as well as matching parts. Forty wheeled armored vehicles, as well as matching parts. ”
Alfred thought for a while and said, "Nothing else, it's just that the armored car is a little troublesome, but I'll figure it out, and I'll try my best to meet your requirements." Wang Haitao once again thanked Alfred.
At noon, Wang Haitao only had time to have lunch with Marita, and hurried to the tank production plant. When the director of the research room took the lead, and several people were struggling with the rotation device of the tank turret, Wang Haitao's arrival was undoubtedly a timely rain. Under the explanation and command of Wang Haitao, the workers and engineers of the factory finally succeeded in building the rotating device of the turret after a night of struggle.
Wang Haitao, who had experienced the whole process, couldn't help but secretly praise the exquisite skills and skilled skills of these German workers. He is also extremely envious of the advanced machinery and equipment in the Krupp factory. Overcoming this hurdle, anything else would have been less difficult in the eyes of these researchers and engineers. After attaching a diesel engine and a gasoline engine to each of the two tanks, the two tanks were completed, and it took only nine days before the production task was issued.
On the tenth day, Wang Haitao and the technicians were finally able to leave the production plant. In the past few days, Wang Haitao and these technicians have eaten, drank, and slept in the factory. When Wang Haitao and the others returned to the Krupp headquarters building, Wang Haitao noticed something different. The guards at the gate were all replaced by SS soldiers, and the entry and exit checks were stricter, and the Gestapo appeared in front of the building.
When Wang Haitao reflected that Hitler, the German Führer, would appear here tomorrow, then all this was logical in front of him. Wang Haitao returned to his residence with a tired body. As soon as she entered, Marita greeted her. When Wang Haitao took a bath and sat on the sofa in the living room, and Marita snuggled affectionately in his arms, Wang Haitao couldn't help but feel a little sorry for this beautiful girl.
Wang Haitao hugged Marita in his arms and said softly and gently: "I'm sorry." Marita raised her head and looked at Wang Haitao and said, "Dear Tao, don't say this, these days I have watched you keep busy for your ideals, and I am proud of you." I'm proud that such a wonderful man as you are my lover.
In the morning, Alfred's butler personally brought several sets of dresses, not only yours, but also mine. He told me that tomorrow you would take me with you to receive Führer Hitler. What an honor this is, before I met you, I never dreamed that one day I might be received by the Führer himself. And all this was brought to me by you, my dear Tao. ”
Facing the extremely satisfied Marita, Wang Haitao was speechless. This is undoubtedly a very simple girl, among the Chinese Germans who have been tormented by China's declaration of war on the German-Italian-Japanese alliance in history, will she and her father be one of them? And now because of her own intervention, history has also changed somewhat, so what will happen to the Chinese today? It seems that I should do something for the Chinese in Germany and Marita. Thinking of this, Wang Haitao is looking forward to meeting Hitler tomorrow.
