Treasure hunt begins in England
Chapter 17 "Pioneer" Armored Brigade
Chapter 17 "Pioneer" Armored Brigade
The satellite car engine was found in a box with the logo of Ernst Thälmann's Pioneer Organization painted on it, surrounded by some wooden boards to hold it there.
Apparently, this is not very normal, as these engines tend to have some kind of standardized box for shipping.
And after discovering that although the box was not the original box, it was matched with the engine, the three people present immediately thought of a certain possibility from the flags they had just discovered.
"Open and look at all the boxes with the same mark around you." Liang En was the first to react and said. "Maybe the tanks of the Vanguard Brigade are hidden in this house."
In the next few minutes, three men used crowbars to pry open almost all the wooden boxes that were placed behind the shelves.Sure enough, they found some parts made of steel and plastic from some boxes.
"Barrel, turret, tracks—" As those boxes were opened one by one, the contents inside made everyone's eyes brighter and brighter.
It took them more than an hour to sort out all the tank-related items in those boxes, and found that there were 15 wooden boxes full of parts that looked like pocket tanks.
"The parts inside are very well preserved. Almost all of them have been processed before storage. Except for a small amount of paint peeling and wear, they look almost new." Liang En, who had carefully inspected the spare parts in these boxes before Said.
Like the flags or wooden boards they found before, these tank parts are also carefully processed, so they can be preserved intact after more than 20 years.
"I found a total of five engines and five chassis." Old Pierce continued. "It is consistent with the content of the information I have read before. Although these tanks have different shapes, all the chassis and engines are of the same model."
"But I only saw three turrets." Pierce added at this time, "This may be because the chassis and engine are walking parts, which usually wear out faster, so I prepared more spare parts."
"No, those extra chassis are not spare parts. Or they are not extra at all." Liang En pointed to an opened box and said.
"Look, this piece of front armor is different from the others. It's obviously bigger, and there's a hole in it. If I'm not mistaken, the other two chassis should belong to assault guns without turrets."
"They were equipped with five types of pocket tanks back then, namely T-34-76, T-34-85, T-54, SU-100 and SU-122." Old Pierce looked at the phone screen and read, then raised He pointed to the boxes and said.
"If I'm not mistaken, the five tanks contained in these boxes should be all types of tanks that the Pioneer Tank Brigade used to equip."
"But how did these things escape the planned destruction of these things when the two countries merged?" Pierce's face was full of puzzlement.
"You said that things like flags are small enough, and they are really easy to take away if you want to. But such a big tank can't be stuffed under the clothes and taken away."
"If it's in chaos, it's difficult to preserve these things, but it's not impossible." Liang En pointed to the parts in the box and said.
"For example, the other party can put together spare parts to make an empty shell tank and send it for destruction, while dismantling the original tank into parts and smuggling it out."
"But why would those people do that—"
"After all, in such a big country, there will always be people who will miss it." Old Pierce sighed softly.
"Although I don't know why the people who put these things here never came back to take them away, but they should have some kind of hope when they hid them."
After hearing what Old Pierce said, Liang En nodded in approval.Because all the things here have been processed enough when they were preserved, it feels as if the depositors will come back soon.
Obviously, if these things are being stored as garbage.Then it is absolutely impossible for these things to be handled so carefully as they are now.
"Let's take a look at what's around—" Liang En suggested at this time, and when Old Pierce said this, he felt that the joy of discovering treasures in his heart faded a lot.
Especially after thinking that these things look like new, but come from a country that disappeared more than 20 years ago, an inexplicable feeling lingers in my heart.
Fortunately, he is not the kind of sentimental person, so this feeling comes and goes quickly.
Soon, Liang En and Murphy and his son used the small carts and long planks found in the corner of the warehouse, and then used the ropes and pulleys they brought to move these boxes to the truck.
Fortunately, although these things are called tanks, the main materials are only some iron sheets and plastics, so the overall weight is not too heavy except for the engine, and they are easy to carry.
After removing these boxes, the whole warehouse seemed much empty.It may be that the tanks used up all their luck this time, so what they found next was not very good.
For example, they found a whole box of film and film, but it was all consciously exposed, so now it's just some flammable garbage.
For another example, they also found several cases of Rydbergh, the most popular beer of the year.It's just that after a long time, these beers are only left with empty bottles and rusty caps.
"Spirits such as whiskey or brandy may be preserved until today, but beer will only become a pile of garbage." Looking at the beer that had been completely dried up, Old Pierce shook his head helplessly.
In the deepest part of the warehouse, they also found some green tin-covered weapons and ammunition boxes.But as in the warehouse next door, the boxes were all empty.
Fortunately, compared to the empty weapon and ammunition boxes next door, the pocket tanks and flags they got before have made them return with a full load this time, so these empty boxes are not so frustrating to them.
Finally, when it was getting dark at night, they cleaned up everything in the entire warehouse.At this time, four cards, three black and one green, appeared in Liang En's mind.
It's just that he didn't have time to check these cards for the time being, because the old Pierce asked him and Pierce to stay in the warehouse and look at the warehouse and the car, while he went to a restaurant not far away to buy some food.
In fact, both Liang En and Pierce offered to buy food, especially Liang En, who spoke the best German, was the most proactive, but was rejected in the end.
Because the warehouse and the surrounding houses were painted with certain symbols representing the extreme right, the old Pierce thought that compared to his inexperienced son or Liang En, who had an Asian face, his old driver was more experienced in this area.
Since this warehouse is an abandoned warehouse, almost all surrounding areas are in darkness except for the light sources brought by those who bought the warehouse.
"Father is good at everything, but he is too stubborn in some aspects." After more than 20 minutes, Pierce held the steel pipe and looked at the darkness outside the warehouse, and Pierce showed an anxious look on his face.
"Don't worry, although this place is a little remote. But correspondingly, those extreme right-wing scum will not come here." Liang En comforted his friend. "Because there is no one they want to mess with here."
Just before he finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.It turned out that old Pierce had already bought dinner and came back.
"Eat quickly, and leave immediately after eating." Putting the two plastic bags in front of Liang En and Pierce, the old Pierce said quickly in a low voice, "We may be in trouble."
