Chapter 80
Wang Wenwu was stayed by the enthusiastic boss and had a few drinks. Although he was not dizzy the next day, he still got up late.
Wang Wenwu could only go to Sun Mu'en to get the letters first, including a letter home from China. After collecting the letters, he went to the front line of the European War.
Wang Wenwu inquired all the way and found the town of Spencourt in the Meuse province of France. This was originally the German ammunition storage station. After the Germans retreated, the French government and self-organized private groups began to collect from the ruins of fields and settlements.
Unexploded ordnance is delivered here.
When Wang Wenwu came here, he was disappointed to find that most of them were artillery shells, and even a large number of poison gas bombs. The number was so large that most of them were piled in the open air. Through communication with the staff, it was found that there were 1.2 million in the No. 1 storage point alone.
poison gas bombs, and there are as many as twenty such storage points.
The sound of explosions was heard not far from the scene. When the staff knew that Wang Wenwu wanted to buy some ammunition, they still strongly recommended it. However, it was too dangerous to transport these ammunitions that had been stored for several years. Wang Wenwu only
I left disappointed, but it wasn't all bad news. The staff provided several storage locations for unclaimed ammunition.
After the big shots gave up on the ammunition, some of the ammunition was transported away by the army of the country they belonged to, but a large amount of ammunition was left unclaimed.
Wang Wenwu didn't find many rifles in the unclaimed storage area, but he found a lot of 8x50 mm ammunition. A lot of the rifles he sold first also used this kind of ammunition, but the storage conditions were not good. Wang Wenwu himself was not sure how many.
Yes, the locals knew that Wang Wenwu was recruiting people to select ammunition and transport it away.
No one in the local area would stop Wang Wenwu, and the local government even helped Wang Wenwu contact a convoy to transport it to the port.
Wang Wenwu used the contact information given by Hadley & Company when he went abroad to contact the ship. Although the UK has an arms embargo on China, the behavior of private companies is not within the embargo regulations, let alone a British company, so it is better to be careful.
, don’t be detained by the commanders as soon as you arrive in China.
Wang Wenwu took advantage of the time to clean up the ammunition and went to a few storage locations to check out. He found some French Lebel M1886s, but they were all battle-damaged versions. Some even had poor storage conditions because no one was managing them.
Can't open it.
Find thirty veterans in the city and see how many intact rifles these battle-damaged rifles can produce.
In order to avoid being found out that he was short of things, Wang Wenwu did not put the arms in the space. Although it could reduce the freight, fortunately because of the raw silk of the RB people, Wang Wenwu did not lack the freight.
In the end, in nearly a month, these veterans helped Wang Wenwu piece together nearly 6,000 intact Lebel M1886s and a large number of usable firearm parts.
These guns were piled in piles without boxes. Wang Wenwu found a lot of cloth bags nearby that were used as sandbags during the European War, and transported them to the port in bundles of ten along with bullets to wait for the arrival of the ship.
When unloading goods in the warehouse, Wang Wenwu discovered that the warehouse next door contained kerosene. However, because it was a flammable product, there were always people paying attention here, and he never found an opportunity. He felt that a large amount of money had slipped from his hands.
Fortunately, the opportunity came when the ship came. The two warehouses were loaded onto the ship at the same time, so everyone was staring at the front of the warehouse. Wang Wenwu pretended to go to the toilet and ran to the back of the warehouse, put the locked iron door into the space, and entered the warehouse.
Fill the space and hurry out. The goods were only half loaded when the owner of the goods in the warehouse next door discovered that there was less goods and the door behind the warehouse was gone. He hurriedly called the police. When the police arrived at the scene, Wang Wenwu's goods were all gone.
It was loaded, but Wang Wenwu didn't plan to board the ship. He planned to board the ship to load the cargo when the ship stopped in Marseille. As for Marseille, he hired someone to load the cargo to China with Wang Wenwu.
The furious boss next door spat at the local police chief, while Wang Wenwu quietly left the scene and went to Lyon to meet Shu Jinxi before returning home.
In the beautiful rented house, Shu Jinxi was chatting with the landlord. When he saw Wang Wenwu, he hugged him excitedly. After joking with the landlord for a while, he returned to the room. Wang Wenwu handed Sun Muen's letter to Shu Jinxi, but Shu Jinxi did not
He checked immediately and said to Wang Wenwu: "Master, I have it again!"
Wang Wenwu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Shu Jinxi's belly in surprise, stepped forward and stroked it: "When did this happen, and how old is it!"
"It should be there on the ship. I felt a little nauseous a few days ago and I just checked out yesterday."
"Then you have to be careful now!"
"I know, but I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower when the time comes to give birth."
"When the time comes, you can recruit someone here. You don't have to worry about money."
Shu Jinxi heard this and leaned against Wang Wenwu.
Wang Wenwu pointed to Sun Muen's letter and said, "Don't you read what Muen wrote?"
Shu Jinxi glanced at the letter and said, "These are letters from more than a month ago. I have already received two letters!"
Wang Wenwu said sheepishly: "I didn't expect the workload to be so heavy, and it took me a long time!"
Shu Jinxi opened the letter and read it. After reading it, she said: "It's almost the same as what was written in the first letter. I don't know how her French is now!"
"Just think about it for yourself and you will know what it was like in the first two months of learning French!"
"I just saw you talking to the landlord. If I hadn't looked at you, I would have thought you were French!"
"Hahaha, I just think you are flattering me!"
"Why are you flattering me? I really mean it."
"Okay, okay, are you still used to eating here?"
"I'm fine, but Mother Guo has never been used to it. She cooks and eats by herself! And it's just a few things, and I can guess what to eat. Especially salads, Mother Guo can't accept it at all. What's wrong with the food if it's not cooked well?
Just mix it and eat it.”
"Then Mother Guo didn't try it, right?"
"How do you know? She really hasn't tried it at all. I just told Mrs. Cody if there was any way to let Mother Guo try the salad."
"You are now half a landowner. Come with me to the market tomorrow! I will bring back some gifts for Aiqin and Sophora japonica!"
While eating, Wang Wenwu found that the food was very rich. After asking Mother Guo, he found out that it was Shu Jinxi who gave Mrs. Cody some extra money to have such a rich meal.
At the market, Wang Wenwu bought pork enema, rose sausage, Lyon dry red sausage and other sausages on the recommendation of Mrs. Coty. Lyon's cheese is world-famous, with more than a hundred types. Each cheese has its own
The taste is completely different. Seeing that Wang Wenwu is a foreigner, the store owner introduced many ways to eat it. In addition to eating it directly, you can also add melted cheese to wine and mix it, or it can be paired with cold meat, potatoes, etc.
In the end, he had to call a car to transport it back. Wang Wenwu looked at the pile of things and felt sad. Shu Jinxi also knew that he had bought too many things. He looked at Wang Wenwu and said, "Master, what should I do?"
