Chapter 248: Armored Transport Vehicles
Almost in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Ming Imperial Academy, and every time Zhu Di came, he was not allowed to notify Zhu Gaoxian in advance, for fear of delaying his affairs, and this time it was the same.
When the doorman saw Zhu Di coming, he hurriedly opened the gate, and Zhu Di's car drove directly into the gate, leaving the rest of the people's horses outside.
When the car walked forward, he saw a car driving vigorously in front of him, the driver was startled, and hurriedly pulled over the car, and the car on the opposite side also stopped, and a person jumped out of the car, it was Zhu Gaoxian, who trotted all the way over and shouted, "Dad, why are you here?" ”
Someone has already stepped forward to open the car door for Zhu Di, he looked at the behemoth-like car in front of him, the wheels did not know how to tie up with something like an iron chain, the car was full of iron plates, boxy, and a fort on the top of the thing, the two students were lying on it, and after seeing Zhu Di, they also hurriedly got out of the car.
"This is the land chariot you were talking about?" Zhu Di's eyes widened and he asked with surprise.
"Yes, Dad, this is called an armored transport vehicle, however, there are very few people transporting, this car, plus the driver, can only transport thirteen or fourteen people in total, my son is asking Beijing to speed up the production, see if I can get a few more cars out, the machine gun is set on it, and my son has also made modifications, aiming more accurately, and the range is longer."
Zhang Fu and others have already come, after saluting Zhu Gaoxian, these people circled around the armored car, Zhang Fu poked the body with his fingers, I don't know how thick the steel plate is, but this kind of thing, once it is on the battlefield, there is no doubt that no country can do anything about him at the moment.
How Zhu Di didn't know what was good about this car, a turret, a machine gun that could shoot continuously, and a long range, this had to be changed to a pig, and if it was driven to Annam, it could also occupy a country.
Zhang Yu is such a calm general, at this time, he is also touching his beard, looking at the armored car's eyes flashing, he looked at the track and asked Zhu Gaoxian, "Your Highness, how is this wheel different from the wheel of a car?" “
"This wheel is equipped with crawlers, which can cross a six-foot-wide trench, climb a vertical wall no higher than three feet, climb some not too steep slopes, and run a hundred miles in half an hour."
Zhang Fu clenched his right hand into a fist and punched it in the palm of his left hand, and he was so happy that he couldn't help himself, "Your Highness, can you get a few more of these cars out?" ”
"Okay, but you have to know that the transportation of fuel is also a problem, so this time, I will use all the convoys to support you, mainly to transport weapons and fuel, grain and grass, or Lao Xia to support. As for the combatants, I personally believe that there should not be too many. ”
Zhu Gaoxian didn't know much about war after all, he looked at Zhu Di, "Dad, I'm not good at this, it's up to you to check it!" ”
Zhu Di was full of interest, "Dad doesn't know much about your chariot, why don't you drive to the suburbs and you can demonstrate it to us?" ”
Zhu Gaoxian saw the blazing fire in his father's eyes, and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, dad go up, and my son will take his dad with him." ”
Zhu Gaoxian counted the number of people and said, "Go on first, if you can't sit down, just take my father's car and go together, so as not to wait for someone to wait!" ”
Zhu Di has no opinion, originally Zhu Di's car was like his dragon chariot, but this time, no one said not to sit, there is no other reason, this time not to sit, who knows when the next time to take a car?
The ordinary people in Yingtianfu had not yet recovered from the shock of seeing the emperor's car, and they saw a behemoth driving vigorously onto the street.
At first, everyone didn't see the emperor who leaned out half of his body, so they were startled, and they hid on both sides of the street, waiting for Zhu Di to wave his hand to the people, "Fellow villagers, don't be afraid, this is my land chariot of the Ming Dynasty, don't be afraid!" ”
Everyone turned from surprise to joy, everyone laughed, poofed, knelt on the ground, and shouted long live again!
Shi Ami was talking to someone in the private room on the highest floor of the Tongfu Restaurant, and when he heard the movement outside, he walked to the window, pushed open the window, and secretly looked down, just in time to see the armored car passing underneath.
He saw the muzzle of the gun, saw the shiny machine gun, and fear couldn't help but cried over his heart.
The other person saw the frightened look on Shi Ami's face, and his heart was different, so he walked over, looked down, and couldn't help asking, "What is this?" ”
Just then, he heard Zhu Di's words and asked in a low voice, "Land chariot?" This is a chariot? ”
Shi Ami couldn't take care of anything at this time, and turned his head to Fei Fu and said, "If you want to find a way to go back to China and tell the general everything here, I'll follow you out of the city to see what power this land chariot is?" ”
Fei Fu took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to take a look too, otherwise, how can I tell the general about this land chariot?" ”
This is the truth, but Shi Ami is very worried, "No matter what, we have to find a way to return to the country, even if it is death, we must also tell the general what Daming has done to our students, and inform the general of these conditions of Daming, I have a hunch that Daming no longer intends to coexist amicably with my country." ”
That's the worst thing!
Fat Fu followed behind, refusing to let people see it, but Shi Ami, ran in front in a panic, he was afraid that people would not see him and stay in Daming.
When he left the city, he saw several other foreign envoys who came to the court, including Khotan, Ryukyu, Siam, Java, Sumatra and other envoys.
Zhu Di's car had already stopped, several children were circling around the car, and from time to time secretly reached out to touch it, and the four people sitting in the car were the four people from the military aircraft department, who had the lowest status and were not qualified to get into the chariot, so they sat in Zhu Di's car.
At this time, the four people had already got out of the car and looked towards the armored car.
The armored car drove over, and there were already Jinyi guards running towards the mountains in front, no one knew what these people were doing, everyone stared at the behemoth, and then, a door opened in the back, only to see several princes and ministers of the Ming Dynasty come out of the car.
These people were not afraid of the mud in the field stained with their boots and robes, they all pointed around this behemoth, laughing and talking, because they were far away, they didn't know what they were talking about, but they saw these people very excited, and some even danced with excitement.
The four princes and the emperor were still in the car, and after a while, I saw that the two of them took turns looking at what on this one device, what were the four princes doing on the pope?
Zhu Gaoxian instructed his father to fire the cannon, "Look at the scale here to aim at the target, pull this handle, the cannonball will be launched, the range can be controlled from here, Dad, do you think from here, to the opposite mountain, how far can it be?" ”
