Chapter 937: The Wedding Gift (Part II)
Liu Xueyuan, editor-in-chief of Rongcheng's "People's Daily Branch", as a guest of honor, gave a gift that was very in line with her identity as a cultural person, and each pair of newcomers had a set of hardcover miniature editions of the 24th history of the Republic of China, although it was a miniature version, but a total of 98 volumes filled two large bookcases, almost covering the history of the development of Chinese civilization, not only the crystallization of Chinese wisdom, but the price was really expensive, and even the golden mandarin duck of Lieutenant Colonel Ji was not in vain.
It's just that this makes these big bosses from the military camp a little wide-eyed, and they dare to love the newlywed Yan'er and still have to study and study! Fortunately, the brides are all literate and hyphenated, and they can teach their husbands who are only rough in writing and ink a lesson, which will inevitably lose a new boudoir fun.
But if you talk about wealth, I'm afraid no one can compare to Laura, the general manager of the newly established Huamei Company for half a year. This one is domineering, both in terms of value and quality, it is in line with the positioning of the president of its military factory, but for traditional Chinese weddings, the impact is slightly greater.
However, the groom himself was a soldier, and the wedding was in the barracks, which was also in line with the atmosphere at that time.
The gift to the bride is not gold or silver, nor is it traditional Chinese mandarin duck embroidery and other handicrafts, but a small Browning pocket pistol for each person.
The Colt-Browning 1908 pistol produced by the American Colt Company is no more than 11.4 centimeters long, the total weight is only 350 grams, the loading is six rounds, and the firing range is as high as 30 meters.
It can be said that this gun is now one of the symbols of the status of China's upper class, and it is the bride of these officers.
Moreover, the little foreign girl also specially blackened each gun, and the faint flash of toasted blue luster makes the pocket pistol small and delicate, which is very suitable for women, and more intimate is that the bride's name is engraved on each gun. Even the ladies who don't like guns are very happy with this unexpected gift.
In addition to guns, there are holsters made of calfskin. However, Liu Tuanzuo could see at a glance that the holster was not hanging on his waist, but tied to his thigh. This is probably also the way that little foreign girls designed women to carry guns, Liu Tuanzuo not only appeared in front of his eyes with such a gun in his slender and sturdy thighs, but somehow, he actually felt quite charming.
It's just that when he thinks that his subordinate wives have learned to do this, just thinking about the moment when the men who came home from the base and were anxious to lift the corner of their wife's skirt only to find that his wife had a pistol stuck in her thigh, Liu Lang couldn't help but want to bare his teeth. They, will they wilt a little at that moment?
A pistol like this for ladies is nothing, and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment have never seen any guns? The newly equipped Black Star pistol can even pierce steel helmets at close range, which is not an eye-catcher for this kind of small pistol used by women.
However, the gifts given by General Manager Laura to the grooms are quite enviable.
As an independent regimental weapon, the power of the Triangular Army Thorn has shown great power in white-knuckle warfare, as long as it is stabbed in the torso, the Japanese army will soon lose its combat ability due to excessive blood loss due to huge wounds. However, the assassination function alone is too simple, especially in the increasingly complex battlefield environment in the future.
Liu Lang has long wanted to make a standard saber for soldiers to use on special missions, and with the gradual installation of advanced equipment delivered from abroad from the Huamei Arsenal, Liu Lang found Xiao Yangniuer and asked her to choose the best steel according to her own design to make a suitable saber.
And the gift that Xiao Yangniuer gave to these groom officers was the saber, which was designed by Liu Tuanzuo himself, and it took three months for the Chinese and American military factories to produce 34 of the 100 sabers.
As a soldier, the most trusted people are undoubtedly the weapons in their hands, except for their comrades-in-arms, but for the primitive killing weapon of the knife, it undoubtedly belongs to the category of the weapon they trust and like. In addition to being equipped with the triangular stab, which is the standard weapon of the independent regiment, many soldiers of the independent regiment will also choose their favorite daggers. For example, Cai Dadao likes to use the thick-backed knife specially made for him, and Liu Tuanzuo likes to use the imitation tiger tooth saber he personally made with cannon steel.
Although everyone has different preferences for knives, some knives can instantly attract you. The knife sent by the little foreign girl was pitch black, and the long blade was bilaterally opened like a short sword, but it was slightly tightened at the hilt, so that people almost forgot that it was a knife, a knife that could kill, as if it were a handicraft. Although every soldier knows that the whole body is pitch black precisely to prevent the reflection of sharp blades, this kind of knife is used to kill.
However, the knife is not just used to kill people. If you are a military enthusiast from the future, you may blurt out a name ---European military obstacle clearance knife the moment you see this double-sided blade.
Yes, Liu Lang did not choose the standard saber of the future republic, nor did he choose the most famous American tactical assault knife, but chose this one, which is considered a decent obstacle removal knife. Because the rest of the saber has too high requirements for machine tools and materials, it cannot be reached at the current level, rather than making a saber that does not become an anti-dog, it is not necessary to choose a saber that can be fully achieved by current technology to imitate.
Like the European military obstacle removal knife in memory, the original blade of the new saber is also made of 6 mm thick steel bar, and then the blade is polished on a roller grinding stone with a large diameter to form a slight empty grinding edge, and on this basis, it is polished by hand convex to complete the final edge.
It is characterized by being very sharp while keeping the blade strong. The steel is made of the highest hardness of naval naval gun tube steel, and then specially heat treated to give it amazing blade retention. Only such a knife can cut through the barbed wire with one sword, and can also dig up the ground and pry out the mines buried in the ground.
Liu Lang had tested it a few days ago, this knife can not only stab into an inch thick steel plate, but also cut off the steel bar thick with a little finger, although the hardness of the steel is slightly inferior to the future, but after the Huamei Arsenal has made great efforts, it definitely lives up to the reputation of Liu Tuanzuo's cottage little expert, and it is definitely the best military obstacle removal knife in this era.
The handle is also made of extremely rare wild silk produced by the independent group, and the specially treated fine wire is wound, which is not only sweat-absorbing and non-slip, but also can withstand the weight of an adult after untying the thin wire, with a minimum bearing capacity of 800 pounds.
This knife alone costs as much as 300 oceans, which is comparable to the cost of a light machine gun.
The knife and gun were originally murder weapons, not suitable for weddings, but perhaps the two "murder weapons" looked extremely exquisite, and the people present were either soldiers, or the wives of soldiers and friends of soldiers, and none of them felt discordant.
Especially a group of officers, watching a group of colleagues led by Zhao Ergou happily accept this unexpected gift, their eyes are green, and they can't wait to find a wife tomorrow, so they quickly accept this gift. It's really a special mother's favorite.
In addition to these gifts that are delivered to the scene, there are only two kinds of gifts that will not be delivered to the scene.
One is the special brigade, because what they sent was a riposte to the happy pretenders of the independent regiment.
That's bloody.
The five armed Japanese spies who attempted to attack the convoy were tracked by Xiong San's super sense of smell who stayed at the base, and they had nothing to hide. Even if they had taken advantage of the cover of night to hide in the mountains, they were surrounded by six special forces who followed them. Under Liu Tuanzuo's nirvana order, the special forces had no intention of capturing alive at all, but the battle was resolved in ten minutes, and all five people were killed on the spot. The corpses were thrown straight into the valley, making them food for the beasts of the mountains. It was a New Year's gift from the Independent Regiment.
In this way, the five Japanese spies disappeared silently into the mountains of China.
The other gift, which was not made public, was the most important.
The thirty-four couples did not know that on Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Lang sent a New Year's congratulatory message to Mr. Mao and Zhou Gong in northern Shaanxi, but when the two red supreme leaders called back, they expressed their wedding congratulations to Liu Lang on the thirty-four couples who were about to get married.
The unsigned secret message was the best gift the thirty-four couples received, enough to ensure that they were already under the red flag at this momentγγγγγγ
And after the lively wedding, Liu Lang and the independent group received the best New Year's gift in 1936.
