Chapter 433 No. 2
As for Zhou Zhengqing, although it was only his second day in Tianjin, he was still very busy at work.
In addition to dispatching gendarmerie squads to various intelligence posts in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin, gendarmerie detachments were also to be dispatched to surrounding garrison garrisons.
Fortunately, most of these things were done by Shunsuke Nakamura, and Zhou Zhengqing only needed to approve them.
Despite this, Zhou Zhengqing remained busy in the office.
Just as Zhou Zhengqing finished signing another appointment document, he suddenly heard a roar in his ears. The sound was faint at first, but later it became very clear.
"What's the noise outside?" Zhou Zhengqing handed the document in his hand to Shunsuke Nakamura and asked by the way. He thought it was a heavy vehicle like a truck passing by.
Nakamura Shunsuke did not answer immediately, but walked quickly to the window, pulled aside the curtains and took a look, then turned around and said with a smile: "General, it's Yoshida Yuto who is back."
"Yoshida? Where did he go?" Zhou Zhengqing asked puzzledly.
"I'm not sure, but I heard him say this morning that he had prepared a surprise for the general, and he said he would wait for him to come back and let you go and see it yourself." Nakamura Shunsuke replied with a smile.
"Surprise! Don't be scared!" Zhou Zhengqing said as he stood up, walked behind Shunsuke Nakamura and looked out the window.
At the entrance of the garden, facing the gate, Yoshida Hayato was standing there smugly, his big white teeth shining in the sun, and he looked very happy.
Koteng Saburo, Yamatani Masaki and many other military police stood beside him, chatting and laughing, and seemed to be flattering him.
"There's nothing! But it sounds like a truck is coming. What kind of surprise requires a truck to carry it?" Zhou Zhengqing said puzzledly.
"General, do you want to go down and take a look? I think the things will be here soon! Yoshida said that the navy helped transport them here." asked Shunsuke Nakamura.
"You keep doing these idle things all day long. Wait and see what I will do... Shit... Number Two!"
Zhou Zhengqing let out a scream halfway through his speech, then turned around and rushed out of the office.
Shunsuke Nakamura wiped his eyes, looked twice, and followed Zhou Zhengqing downstairs.
When Zhou Zhengqing jogged to the gate, the roaring sound in his ears continued.
Ignoring the greetings from Koto Saburo and the others, Zhou Zhengqing immediately rushed to the steel guy that had stopped outside the gate and put his hand on it.
Many military police who were originally watching saw Zhou Zhengqing coming. They talked excitedly and stepped back to let Zhou Zhengqing take a good look at the surprise.
Yoshida Hayato, on the other hand, puffed out his chest with his chin almost raised to the sky.
It was not until he felt the touch of metal on his palm that Zhou Zhengqing believed it was real. The roar in his ears continued. Zhou Zhengqing turned his head and saw several dark grey tanks approaching on the street and slowly slowing down.
The tracks rubbed violently against the ground, making a deafening roar. The wide and thick tracks ruthlessly crushed all obstacles, and soil and rocks flew wherever they passed.
The 20mm cannon and 7.92mm machine gun, with their black muzzles exuding a deadly aura, are enough to send chills down one's spine just by looking at them.
"Yoshi, Yoshida! Did you get this?!" Zhou Zhengqing turned around and looked at Yoshida and asked excitedly.
"Hi! General, these are the eight tanks that the Navy bought from the Germans for research. I want them all! I hope you like them!" Yoshida Hayato took two steps forward and bowed.
"Very good! Very good! I like it very much!" Zhou Zhengqing patted Yoshida's shoulder vigorously, then turned his head and continued to focus his gaze on the steel guy in front of him.
The German Type 4.8 tank is 2.2 meters long, 2 meters wide and 20 meters high. The front armor of the vehicle is arc-shaped, and mm of additional armor is installed in front of the cab and the front of the turret, making it look thick and tough, as if it is wearing a layer of steel armor.
The turret is located slightly to the left of the middle of the vehicle body. A 20mm machine gun extends from the turret, and a 7.92mm machine gun is located next to the machine gun.
The track is narrow, with 5 medium-diameter road wheels and 4 track-supporting rollers evenly distributed on the inside.
Just as Zhou Zhengqing was looking at the tank in front of him, the remaining tanks slowly drove to the gate and stopped.
At this time, the turret cover of the tank in front of Zhou Zhengqing opened, and a military policeman leaned out from inside and bowed to Zhou Zhengqing: "General, where is the tank parked?"
Zhou Zhengqing was surprised, turned to look at Yoshida Yuto and asked: "The military police can drive a tank?"
Yoshida Yuto grinned and said, "General, they occasionally learned to drive a tank in military school, so they should be able to drive it normally. But if they want to fight, they need to be trained.
Each tank requires three people to work with, and there are eight tanks in total. My suggestion is to set up a tank team specifically for training to drive these eight tanks."
"Yo! Very good! I agree!" Zhou Zhengqing, a time traveler, had never had the opportunity to come into contact with high-end stuff like tanks before. Now he actually saw the real thing and was very excited.
If the occasion was right, he would have wanted to let the military police drive the tank and fire a few shots to see how it goes.
At this time, Jingren ran over in a hurry, stopped and looked at the eight Type 8 tanks at the gate with shining eyes.
"Takazaki-kun, where did you get these chariots?!"
"Hehe, someone gave it to me!" Zhou Zhengqing said with raised eyebrows.
Jingren didn't notice Zhou Zhengqing's smug look, and quickly said, "How about leaving them to me! I learned how to command a tank when I was in school!"
"Um, aren't you studying cavalry?" Zhou Zhengqing was puzzled. As far as he knew, wasn't Jingren studying cavalry?
"There are chariots in the cavalry unit, and of course I have learned about them! Do you really think that you have to ride a horse to be a cavalryman?" Jingren looked at Zhou Zhengqing with disdain.
Since Jingren wanted to command these Type 2 tanks, Zhou Zhengqing naturally had no objection. After all, Jingren was his subordinate, so it didn't matter if he let him command them. It would also give him something to do.
At this moment, Zhou Zhengqing remembered that the military police had asked him about the placement of the tanks. He turned his head to look at the wide garden behind him and said without thinking, "Mr. Teng, immediately arrange for the military police to dismantle the gate and let the tanks in."
When Kotosaburo heard this, he looked back at the carefully tended lawn and flowers behind him, his mouth twitched, but he still responded loudly: "Hi!"
Yoshida Yuto stepped forward and said, "Jing Jun, these tanks were just sent here by chance. The navy has already studied them and is preparing to drop them in the warehouse.
What I really want to give to the general as a gift is not these tanks, but this one." Yoshida Yuto said, pointing to the Type 2 tank in front of him.
Seeing Zhou Zhengqing's doubts, Yoshida Yuto continued: "General, he is blocked at the back."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhengqing, with doubts, raised his foot and walked around the Type 2 tank in front of him.
I saw a strange-looking vehicle appear on the other side of the road.
