Volume 5 Heavy Tree History Chapter 778 Provocation at the Military Fair
Although the negotiations were difficult for the Chinese delegation, Yuan Zhihua, Ke Yang, Xiao Yansheng and others, who participated in the New York International Arms Fair, ushered in a different scenery. In fact, the New York International Arms Fair was not held at the right time, because after the end of the European war, the whole world was reflecting on the pain caused by the war to mankind, so there was an agreement to limit the various armaments, which led to a decline in the performance of the world's major arms manufacturers, and the United States closed more than 30 arsenals. And this triennial World Arms Expo is also the greatest effort of arms dealers in various countries to win business. The arms expo was held in Brooklyn Prospect Park in New York City, and various arms manufacturers brought out their most advanced land, air, and naval weapons, with the exception of Navy warships, almost everything that could be moved.
Yuan Zhihua was deeply infected by the old chief Zang Hao, and said that he must be bold when he appeared, and said that we should hire twenty cars, pull our weapons, and the four Minjiu tanks in front of us will open the way and enter the venue. But in the end, only 10 cars were used, far less elegant than 20, and the national flag, the Chinese five-color flag, and the five-color battle flag used by the Wehrmacht were erected on both tanks and cars.
However, what embarrassed Yuan Zhihua and others was that when their convoy had just driven from the suburbs to the city, they frightened the citizens of New York and at the same time led the New York police to run over. ”
Of course, the reason for the misunderstanding was that the Chinese did not communicate with the New York police in time and did not know about it. Yuan Zhihua immediately raised his hand and ran over to tell them that he was a Chinese arms manufacturer participating in the New York International Arms Fair, and that he had to hurry to Zhan Wang Park because he was late. However, the New York police said they were determined not to let the tanks go to the streets of New York. Ke Yang, director of the Procurement Department, was well-informed, he chatted with the head of the New York City Police Department alone for a while, asked him to see his weapon, and took him into the Minjiu tank to feel it, and the police officer immediately told the officers that the New York police arrived at the Prospect Park with the Chinese convoy, and all the Chinese bullets should be under the supervision of the New York police. When you arrive at the exhibition venue, you have to hand it over to the organizer. You can go in with a gun, but you are not allowed to have a single bullet in the gun. This request is not excessive, and it is still very attentive to the Chinese side. Everyone immediately agreed to the sheriff's request.
Yuan Zhihua and Xiao Yansheng hurriedly asked Ke Yang how to persuade him and give China such a big discount, Ke Yang sneered: "The world is as black as a crow, you don't give him a little benefit." How can he make it convenient for us? ”
Yuan Zhihua asked how much was given to him. Ke Yang said: "One thousand dollars is equivalent to four thousand oceans." Several others were amazed that 4,000 oceans could become a small landowner in China, burying a thousand acres of land and buying a mansion, but now it was used to bribe the New York police. Ke Yang said: "Now during the Prohibition period in the United States, the police and bandits are a family, and the police are no different from bandits. We spent a thousand dollars, but we bought the peace of the past few months in New York. Cost-effective, cost-effective. Wait for the good news, let's go to Prospect Park late, and we can also get a good place to do exhibitions. In the United States, it is the first place where money can make ghosts grind, and if you don't have money, you will die. ”
More than 20 New York mounted police officers were responsible for leading the way, four tanks in the center, and ten trucks in the back, so this strange team hit the road, and it was the first time that New York City had tanks walking on the streets, especially this tank was really good-looking, subverting people's design concept of the shape positioning of European main battle tanks, which was really blinding.
So reporters in the United States took photos to commemorate the occasion, and at the same time let the Chinese five-color flag fly high in the United States.
"Behold, what is that?" An old white man in an old-fashioned gray suit shouted in surprise as he pointed to a Chinese tank passing down the street.
"That's ...... Is that...... Chariot? The other old man was also surprised, and the two turned to the third old man together, because the third old man was a retired officer of the US Army, and the retired officer was also surprised: "It's amazing, which country designed the tank, it's amazing." ”
The three looked at the flag, didn't know the country, and guessed: "I think it's Peru." ”
"No, it should be Japan."
"The flag of Japan is the sun flag, not this rainbow flag, I still think it is Peru, because Peru is also yellow."
"Isn't the flag of Peru red and white? They are hybrid descendants of Spanish and local indigenous peoples, and the flag is like Spain, never a rainbow flag. ”
However, the veteran is now more knowledgeable and said: "This seems to be the national flag of the Chinese." ”
"What? Chinese? Everyone was disdainful, "Chinese with braids? "In their opinion, this army wearing berets and camouflage uniforms is obviously strange everywhere, but it can never be Chinese, Chinese are all big smokers with big braids."
The Chinese ** people who came to participate in the war this time, everyone prepared several sets of military uniforms, including winter combat uniforms, winter dresses, autumn combat uniforms, and autumn dresses, which can be described as very rich. At this time, everyone was wearing autumn combat uniforms, that is, four-color camouflage uniforms, berets on their heads, everyone was carrying a C2 submachine gun, and they were wearing leather boots on their feet, and the most important thing was that these 50 people were each more than 1.75 meters tall, and after wearing leather boots, everyone looked more than 1.8 meters, among which Yuan Zhihua's favorite, he was 1.68 meters tall, and he was more than 1.70 meters when he wore leather boots, so it seems that this army is not only tall but also well-armed. All the cowards and those who have low self-esteem must be trained to be proud Chinese soldiers, and the posture of walking, sitting, and standing must be limited to a confident and arrogant appearance. Wang Maoru's requirement for administering the army was that he would rather die of Chinese soldiers being conceited and complacent, rather than retreating and dying with inferiority.
So don't say that New Yorkers don't believe it, even well-informed American journalists don't believe it, this will be a Chinese ** person?
But the answer is the ** people, and they can't help but believe it.
At this time, four Chinese Americans carrying telephone poles on the street suddenly cried loudly, they were Chinese workers who came to the United States during the Republic of China, and they had been living in the United States for ten years. The four people threw away the telephone pole and chased the convoy of the ** people and shouted, listening to the accent is a Cantonese accent, and no one can understand it. Ke Yang is a native of Anhui, Xiao Yansheng is a native of Northeast China, and Yuan Zhihua is a South Asian Chinese, but most of the South Asian Chinese are descendants of Fujian, and only a few Guangdong descendants are descendants. A soldier took the opportunity to throw the extra national flag on the car, and the four of them hurriedly picked up the national flag and waved it, so that they would no longer chase the convoy, otherwise everyone was really worried that they would be exhausted from chasing the convoy.
Early the next morning, the cover of major New York newspapers was a photo of Chinese tanks parading on the streets of the United States, and the Chinese tanks in the photos were majestic and high-spirited, showing off their might, especially the gorgeous and streamlined shapes, throwing away the European tanks and American tanks of the same period. Someone made a note below: "This is called armored power!" European tin box, don't take it out and be ashamed! "Angry European arms developers scolded the New York media for excluding Europe.
After a two-hour journey, the convoy finally arrived at Prospect Park, and the police officer came forward to help them find a good exhibition location. But at this time, the Chinese made another joke, it turned out that this was a heavy weapons exhibition place, when Xiao Yansheng took out rifles, submachine guns and machine guns and other weapons for display, the security guard immediately stopped him, saying that it was not allowed.
So everyone divided into two routes, one way Ke Yang and Xiao Yansheng went to the light weapons area, and Yuan Zhihua stayed in the heavy weapons area.
Fortunately, this weapons exhibition will last for a month, after all, the communication and transportation in this era are not very convenient, and some Middle Eastern emirates will have to walk to the United States for more than half a year, so we will give everyone a month to exhibit.
But when the Chinese five-color flag was erected, everyone looked over with colored glasses and whispered about how China actually produces weapons? Some people said amusedly: "I guess the Chinese weapon should be a bow and arrow, right?" In 1900, they used bows and spears to resist the lessons of the armies of Western civilization, but now they have improved their bows and arrows and can shoot up to 200 meters away? Everyone laughed and looked at them mockingly, and everyone came over.
"Hello, Chinese?" A white man with a pointed face said, "My name is LeBron. Deng. Avro, I'm looking forward to Chinese weapons. What weapons do you have? His language was outwardly polite and polite, but his words were full of cynicism. This is the way Westerners speak, with grace and politeness in even the most unpleasant language, but the Chinese speak viciously to each other.
"yes, do you have any 'advanced' weapons?" Others coaxed, in fact, many of the people who came to watch today were citizens, journalists and other colleagues, and as for those who really wanted to buy arms, there were very few people, but there were also some people who also attracted the attention of the arms dealers present, that is, the warlords of South America. This exhibition of Chinese weapons was originally late, and it was the first day, and it had not even had time to set up, and even the right to use the shooting range had not been obtained. Obviously, everyone gathered around to see the joke.
