"Major Hoffman, it's a pleasure to be here. I don't know what the Volkswagen plant can do for you. ”

In Volkswagen, the general manager Minoba said politely to the major named Hoffmann in front of him.

The reason for his words was that the major had brought with him a handwritten instruction from the crown prince himself, asking the Volkswagen plant to cooperate with the major. Had it not been for Eder's signed instructions, Major Hoffman would not have been able to see the busy general manager.

"This time the crown prince asked me to come here because I needed an armored car, and the Volkswagen plant has the best craftsmanship and technology in all of Europe."

Major Hoffman also knew how to use the crown prince's prestige to do things.

In the face of Major Hoffmann's move to first use the prestige of the crown prince and then slap Volkswagen's sycophants, General Manager Minoba saw a lot, but he still didn't think so. He still knows about armored vehicles.

"Yes, we at the Volkswagen plant have the best technology, so what kind of car does Major Hoffmann need as the basis for armored vehicles?"

Faced with the inquiries of General Manager Minoba, Major Hoffmann knew that only Volkswagen's Dongfeng trucks now met his requirements. However, the armored vehicle modified by Dongfeng trucks weighs only 4 tons at most, which is a bit inconsistent with its own requirements. He still wanted to ask if Volkswagen had any other models?

"Mr. Minoba, I don't know if Volkswagen has any cars with a larger load than Dongfeng trucks."

When asked by Major Hoffman, Minoba did not answer, and called his secretary. "Let Director Tuslid come over."

After watching the secretary who had been instructed by him leave, the general manager, Minoba, turned his head and smiled and spoke to Major Hoffman. "If you had come a month earlier, I would have told you that there really wasn't, but now that I have, I'll ask the technical director Tuslid to take you around in a moment, and this should meet your requirements."

The new car that Minoba is talking about is a new car that Crown Prince Eder asked him to develop with a load of three to five tons, which only began to be finalized last month and is still being tested in the factory.

After a few moments, the technical director, Tuslid, appeared in front of them, sweating and wearing an oil-stained shirt. He saw Major Hoffman sitting in the general manager's office, and asked the general manager Minoba first.

"Is there something wrong with the general manager?"

Minoba pointed at Hoffman and said. "This is Major Hoffman, and he's here for armored vehicles."

"Hello, Major Hoffman."

Tuslid held out his still oil-stained hand.

"Hello, Director Tuslid."

Major Hoffman shook Tuslid's oil-stained hand, also showing his kindness.

After seeing that the two knew each other, the general manager Minoba told them. "Director Tuslied, take this Major Hoffman to the test site for the new car."

After hearing the words of the general manager, Minoba, Tuslid spoke to Major Hoffman. "Why don't we take a look at this new truck."

Major Hoffman was also eager to see what they were talking about, so he told Director Tuslied. "Then lead the way."

After Major Hoffman finished speaking, he turned to the general manager, Minoba, and thanked him. "Thank you very much for your support."

"You don't have to be so polite to do things for the crown prince."

Glancing at Major Hoffmann as he walked out of his office, Minoba was busy again, as the general manager of Volkswagen, he had too much to attend to.

After taking Major Hoffman out of his office, Tusslid walked through the factory while introducing him to the new car.

"Major Hoffmann, this new truck is our Volkswagen masterpiece, and it can pull five tons of cargo and travel 160 kilometers with a full tank of fuel."

"It's an amazing masterpiece."

"Of course, we have been developing this car for four years, and we have overcome more than 200 problems, and I once slept in the R&D center for three months for this new car."

Listening to the technical director talk about the history of suffering in front of him, Major Hoffmann responded as he observed the bustling scene of people coming and going in the Volkswagen factory. From the open door of the workshop, you can see that the workers in each workshop here are busy, they are concentrating on their own work in front of the assembly line, just like a precision part showing the beauty of industry. This fascinated Major Hoffmann, especially in the assembly room, watching the cars being driven out, and he felt that this was the true meaning of industry.

"Isn't it shocking?"

"Yes, that's what true industrialization should look like."

After answering, Major Hoffman came back to his senses and lost his temper. "It's a little emotional to see such a scene."

Hearing Major Hoffman's words, Technical Director Tuslid replied with a sigh. "It's normal, I was the same as you when I first saw it."

They walked through the factory area and came to a four-story building. Tusrid, the head of technology, pointed to the building. "This is our Volkswagen R&D center, but the new car is not here, there is a proving ground behind this building, and the new truck is being tested in it."

Hearing Tuslied's words, Major Hoffman wanted to see the new car first. "Let's go and see the new car."

"Of course."

The two walked around the building and saw a huge proving ground with a variety of terrains. On the edge of the test site, there was a large group of people holding test instruments and observing the field, a truck with a square front and two rear four or six wheels. The truck, loaded with a large amount of cargo, was climbing a steep slope with increased horsepower, and the smell of pale black smoke from the exhaust pipe showed that the car had done its best.

"It's up."

A technician shouted excitedly as he watched the new car climb up a steep slope.

"It's amazing, I didn't expect this car to climb such a steep slope with six tons of cargo."

"It's all powered by the 80-horsepower engine of this car, and the people in the power group need to be commended."

"It's also a credit to the structural design team that allows this new car to play such a role."

It was obvious that the person who said this was a member of the power group.

At this time, Director Tuslid came to the group with Major Hoffman.

"It's all thanks to everyone. After this test is successful, I will apply for a large bonus from the general manager, Minoba, and everyone will have a share, so that we can repay our four years of hard work. ”

Director Tuslid walked over to the group of testers and began to promise.

No one was not interested in the prize money, and they all cheered loudly.

Satisfied with his subordinates' performance, Director Tuslid turned to Major Hoffman. "I wonder how you feel about this new car?"

"This is exactly what I need, a high-horsepower engine, a sturdy structure, enough load."

Major Hoffman, after answering, asked. "How much does this car weigh?"

"4.13 tons."

One of the testers casually answered his question.

After hearing this answer, Hoffman calculated in his heart that after reducing the carriage and unwanted parts, the estimated weight was 3.1 tons, and he needed to add about four tons of armor and weapons, and then it was enough to equip the personnel and reserve space.

Thinking of this, Hoffman said to Director Tuslied. "It's up to me, I need you to arrange someone to help me."

Upon hearing Major Hoffman's words, Director Tuslid immediately replied. "No problem."

He then shouted to the group of testers. "King, Bikya, Helke, come here."

As Director Tuslid shouted, three people emerged from the group of testers, and Major Hoffman saw that one of the three was a yellow-skinned and black-eyed yellow man. A little curious, he asked the yellow man. "You're Japanese?"

It is no wonder that Major Hoffmann would ask, for the most well-known in Europe for the yellow race is Japan, which defeated Russia.

Wang Chaoqiang was unimpressed by Major Hoffman's questioning, he had experienced too many such inquiries. It's just that there is still a trace of darkness in his eyes that is difficult for outsiders to detect. He spoke in fluent Romanian. "My name is Super Strong King, I am Chinese, not Japanese."

After hearing the Chinese's words, Major Hoffman said a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were Chinese, I hope you won't mind the inquiry I just asked."

"It's okay."

At this time, the other two people resolved the embarrassment between them.

"Hello, I'm Bikya."

Hoffman shook the hand of the man named Bikoa and replied. "Nice to meet you, I'm Major Hoffman."

"I'm Herke."

"Hello, Mr. Helke."

After seeing that they all knew each other, Director Tuslid said to the three. "Major Hoffman needs the help of the three of you, he wants to build an armored car based on our new car, and I hope you can cooperate with him."

Hearing that the major was going to build an armored car, and the three of them were technicians, the public would show them the latest European car intelligence they had collected, so that they could know the latest developments in European cars. So the three of them are no strangers to armored vehicles at all, and after the three of them got the news, they all replied with bright eyes. "Okay, no problem."

Especially Wang Chaoqiang, after the successful development of the new car, he had already made up his mind to return to China for development and let the motherland have its own automobile industry, but now the armored car made him decide to stay and wait for the research and development to be completed.

Seeing that the three of them all had eager expressions, Director Tuslid was still very satisfied. These three people are now the technicians he is more optimistic about. Especially that Wang, who has a strong ability to learn, makes him very satisfied. Although it was rumored that Wang planned to return to China for development, he still gave him this opportunity, hoping to retain this smart and studious technical seedling.

Subsequently, at the request of Major Hoffmann, the three began to take ordinary workers with them to build an armored car belonging to Romania on the basis of this new car.
