Suburbs of Tripoli, Libya, North Africa
Stacks of weapon boxes, quaint camp beds, scattered cans, rows of cars, artillery, and tanks exude a unique coercion. Coupled with dim incandescent lights, the flags and leader portraits of Hans Country and Noodle Country , very much like the large cave in "Return to Hans Army Headquarters".
Following a period of distortion of time and space, the incandescent lights on the wall flickered violently, and then, a figure appeared here out of thin air. Wang Yue looked around blankly, and then fell into ecstasy. When he came back, it turned out to be... I'm back. I'm back. I took out a few pockets from my pocket, opened them and checked them carefully, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
The medicinal materials that Li Yunlong paid for were brought back, and their appearance has not changed at all. It seems that not only can he bring things to 1940, but he can also bring back things from 1940. The most important thing is that the quality of the medicinal materials has not changed. Looking at these precious Chinese medicinal materials that are as good as gold in 2023, Wang Yue couldn't help crying. He could finally return to China and pay off his debts.
Wang Yue was once a legendary figure. After he retired from the army, he was forced to take over his family's small trading company. Although the real economy seemed to be declining in recent years, he still keenly grasped the trend of cross-border e-commerce. Relying on his own hard work and perseverance, he has become prosperous in the industry. At a young age, he has hundreds of millions of assets and has become a cross-border e-commerce giant.
It's just that when he was at his most complacent, he mistakenly believed the advice of his investment consultant and invested heavily in the stocks of a bank in the beautiful country. He never wanted to get rid of it. Not only was his money gone, but he also owed tens of millions in debt. The company, The house, car, his collection of famous wines, delicacies, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were all used to pay off the debt. Even so, he still owed a debt of more than 9 million to the bank.
In order to repay the debt, Wang Yue had to accept the entrustment of a domestic bank and come to Libya to help them take care of the bank's non-performing assets here. The bank promised that as long as he could stay here, the interest on his debts would be paid during this period. will be reduced, and in addition there will be a monthly salary of two thousand dollars.
The so-called non-performing assets are an unfinished high-end residential area in the suburbs of Tripoli. They were built by a domestic company before the civil war in Libya. Later, they were sold several times and became non-performing assets of the bank. For some reasons, the bank's The superior department is not allowed to abandon this place, so I have no choice but to find someone to take care of it. At least they need to know what is going on.
But who wants to go to this place? There is no security, the living conditions are poor, and prices are always high. Not to mention that there are certain requirements for this person and he must meet the conditions. After looking around, this matter cannot be implemented. . In the end, Wang Yue's debt clearance specialist remembered his client, so the job fell on Wang Yue.
Wang Yue had no choice but to travel to the country of Libi. When he arrived here, he was dumbfounded. There was a vast desert within a radius of ten kilometers. Not to mention the lack of human habitation, there are not even a single tree. There is no water, no electricity, and no communication signal in the residential area. Even the roads built during construction are buried in quicksand. Every time I go out to do shopping, I have to drive through a dangerous area. In an area where a large number of landmines are left, fortunately, the blown-up vehicles are considered landmarks, but even so, there are still landmines that are blown everywhere by strong winds from time to time.
It can't be said that this place has no advantages, because it is too remote and dangerous, and the local warlords, big and small, look down on it, so there is no need to deal with those difficult guys. Wang Yue lives here. In addition to living a little harder life, he is safe most of the time. He doesn't have to worry about the chaos like Tripoli, and he doesn't know when he will be killed by stray bullets.
A few days ago, several slender-horned gazelles broke in. Wang Yue, who had eaten canned food and compressed food for a month, almost turned green at the time. He immediately chased after them with an AK47, but they were in the underground parking lot. , he actually slipped and fell into a cable well, and then he discovered a large underground space.
This was a Hansi military base during World War II. With the help of translation software, Wang Yue could understand the records of the base. This was originally a base for Noodle Country. In the early days of the war, it was an important arsenal and weapons maintenance base for Noodle Country. In June 1942, a battalion of the Hans Army Armored Forces took over here, and then it was turned into a laboratory by the Hans.
As for what kind of experiments are done in the laboratory, the base’s record files can’t reveal anything. But from the files, the records of material in and out here are as old as January 24, 1943. Damn it, Tripoli was not on January 23. Has Japan been occupied? What kind of laboratory is it that makes Hans and others reluctant to leave even after the city falls?
Driven by curiosity, Wang Yue began to explore the base, but the more he explored, the more frightened he became. The coffee on the table was still hot, the lighting system of the base was working well, and even the opened canned peas on the table were fresh. Some clothes and weapons could be seen everywhere in the base. It looked like a person suddenly disappeared. Then the clothes and weapons inside and outside naturally fell down. He touched the clothes and vaguely felt that the clothes had warmth, which made him even more excited. It's so creepy. Is it possible that, after eighty years, there are still people stationed here?
When he came to the power distribution room, the light on the wiring box was on, but the machine was motionless. When he touched it, the machine was hot to the touch. This confirmed Wang Yue's other guess. Time in this base actually stood still. No wonder everything You can't see corruption or aging in anything, but where are the people here? Shouldn't those people also be still? Also, everything is still. Why isn't it me? I'm very normal. Even the air I exhale can feel flowing.
Putting aside some messy thoughts, Wang Yue continued to explore the arsenal, garage, repair shop, oil depot, and grain depot. There are really a lot of supplies here. It seems that when Hans took over here, even the Noodle Country There was no time to move the materials here, so in addition to the German equipment of the battalion, there was a large amount of weapons, equipment and materials stored here, and the quantity was staggering.
small arms
According to the warehouse records, the main item is the Carcano M1891 rifle. This is the largest amount of supplies. There are almost more than 50,000. Wang Yue checked and found that most of them have been fired. Some are quite seriously worn. They should be some. Old guns from World War I. No wonder Noodle Country stores these weapons here and is unwilling to use them. To say that the Noodle Country during this period was not even comparable to the Japanese in some aspects, many of the weapons of our grandfathers are still in use, do you dare to think?
What you don't even dare to think about is that some artillery pieces from the First World War were tinkered with by the Noodle Country and used until the end of the Cold War. They were in service for almost eighty years, so they are definitely considered old-fashioned.
There are very few Carcano M1938 carbines, just over 2,000, and they are all restored and put into storage. This gun is easy to carry, has reliable performance, and is unanimously welcomed by frontline troops, so there is no reserve.
There are 4,000 Grisenti 1910 pistols. This is also a weapon from the First World War. It has a very average reputation and is rejected by frontline troops. It is only equipped with reserve troops and military police. Therefore, this batch of pistols that have not been used can only be here. Eat ashes.
There are 351 Beretta M1934 pistols, most of which are old guns that have been restored and put into storage. One model of pistol is produced in two calibers. It is not very powerful, but it is easy to carry and has reliable performance.
30,000 M1891/38 rifles. This gun uses 7.35X51mm bullets. Its power and performance are much stronger than the Carcano M1891 rifle that uses 6.5X52mm bullets. However, it was later dismantled because of the noodle country. The European powers have no spare capacity to produce this type of bullet.
M35 45mm light mortar, 2,581 units. This thing was probably dismantled in 1942, so it was sealed here together with millions of rounds of ammunition. This was what Wang Yue later gave to Li Yunlong.
There are more than 2,000 Beretta M1918 submachine guns, and they are all old guns from before and after World War I. The magazine is for 25 rounds, and it still points upward. What the hell is this? And this bayonet, forget it, the bayonet on the early submachine gun was just a basic operation. This is really not a patent of the noodle country.
There are 377 Beretta M1938 submachine guns. It is a rare high-quality weapon for the Chinese army. It is also a high-quality firearm collection from the same period. It is said that one can sell for 200,000 US dollars. I just don’t know if such unrecorded guns can enter the collection market. ?
There are 5,000 Breda 1930 light machine guns. This gun is useless, but it is the only light machine gun in the noodle country. I have no choice but to bite the bullet and use it. The ones here are also repaired. This The strange design of the gun is not suitable for use in desert areas at all. It is normal to have a lot of damage, and there are still more than 2,000 guns left that have not been repaired.
There are 1,000 Revelli 1914/30 machine guns, old guns from the First World War. Most of these guns were changed from water-cooled to air-cooled. They are particularly prone to damage when used in desert areas, so it is normal to have more here.
There are 311 Breda M1937 heavy machine guns. They are the best choice for the Noodle Country army who have no choice. So they were basically taken away immediately after they were repaired. There are not many stored here.
Heavy weapons
There were 47 1906-type 75mm guns and 22 1911-type 75mm guns. When the war broke out, these two countries were still equipped with more than 3,000 guns. But on the North African battlefield, these things could not stand up to any of the Allied forces. Each type of artillery has no advantages, but in order to maintain the face of the so-called big country, they can only use it.
There are 7 M1934 75mm artillery pieces, advanced weapons of the noodle country, which are rare and rare. However, only a few hundred were built until the end of the war, because the number was too small to have much effect.
There are 44 M14/M16 100mm artillery pieces, which were the trophies of the Noodle Country during World War I. It is hard to imagine that the European powers Noodle Country actually used the captured weapons as standard equipment.
armored vehicle
3 AB-40 railway and road dual-purpose armored vehicles. It is a road-rail dual-purpose armored vehicle. It usually performs patrol tasks on the railway. It can also be equipped with rubber tires and perform tasks on normal highways. The weapon part is different from the former. The AB-40's main weapon is equipped with a Breda 20mm machine gun, the auxiliary weapon is a 6.5mm parallel machine gun, the body armor is 6~17mm, and the body weight is 6.85 tons.
There are 146 CV-33 light tanks. In the Noodle Country Army, it is positioned for reconnaissance, support and artillery towing. The main weapon is equipped with a 13.2 mm Beretta M31 heavy machine gun, and some models are equipped with a twin 6.5 mm M14 machine gun. The total combat weight is 3.2 tons, the body length is 3.2 meters, the width is 1.4 meters, and the height is 1.28 meters. It is said that the maximum driving speed is 42 kilometers per hour, and the thickness of the body armor is 5 to 10 millimeters. The ones here are all early models, and the speed is only a pitiful 13 kilometers per hour, which cannot keep up with the marching speed of the troops. The reason why they are stored here is to wait for replacement. As for engines, 500 Fiat SPA CV3-005 inline 4-cylinder gasoline engines are also stored in the warehouse.
vehicle:
There are 39 TL37 combat passenger vehicles.
2 RSO crawler tractors.
Fiat Lancia 626BL multi-purpose truck 255 units.
In addition, there are more than 10 million rounds of bullets of various calibers, more than 50,000 rounds of artillery shells of calibers above 70mm, ten tons of hand grenades, 200 tons of clothing and equipment, and more than 300 tons of canned military rations and the like.
In addition, there are some damaged weapons and seized weapons. The records are not complete. Wang Yue does not want to count them. Although there are many weapons here, for the North African Army of the Noodle Country at that time, it was already exhausted. There were hundreds of thousands of troops. , not to mention that many warehouses are actually empty, or simply filled with some seized materials, and even some seized from Ethiopia. I don’t know if the Noodle Country really wants to use these things.
As for the Hans Battalion, its equipment was average. The light weapons seemed to be complete, but they were also patchwork. Are the MP28 and MG13 the equipment of the main force? As for heavy weapons, there are even fewer. The only ones that can be brave are only 12 No. 1 tanks, which are all early models. Obviously, the Hans do not have enough equipment.
Wang Yue explored the base bit by bit like this. It took him almost a day. Finally, he found a heavy steel door behind several lines of defense that had no one left. The door was unlocked. He went inside. Here It should have been converted into a warehouse, with a lot of equipment scattered around it. Although I don't know what it was used for, it must have been the most advanced at that time, right?
In the middle of the warehouse is a huge table, with a lone pallet on top, and a dark thing dragged in the middle.
Meteorite? Hans and his team had such a big battle just to study a meteorite. No, how could there be hieroglyphs on this meteorite? Wang Yue couldn't help but touch the meteorite. Although he subconsciously resisted, he didn't know why, but his hand still reached out to the meteorite uncontrollably, followed by a tingling sensation on his fingertips, and then he directly Fainted.
