Chapter 311 310. Trench Cannon (Monthly Pass 49+)

It was the first time for Li Du to participate in this kind of auction, and it felt very novel.

This is much quieter and faster, that is, everyone looks at the warehouse, and then ponders by themselves or discusses with their partners, and puts them into cartons after quotations are made.

For four warehouses in a row, Li Du wrote the quotations for the smallest amount, and he didn't even want to buy them.

When he arrived at the fifth warehouse, he got serious. The short and fat man inside seemed to be quite valuable. In order to quote, he released small flying insects and used the ability to reproduce the old time.

Time changed, and in the first scene he saw, the cannon was assembled together and placed in a warehouse, and there were dozens of cannons like it beside it.

There is a line of German on the wall of the warehouse, which is the same as the words on the base of the cannon, but Li Du still doesn't understand it.

The scene changed, and later it appeared on the battlefield. I saw it in a trench, where the cannon was placed, and the stubby barrel pierced the sky obliquely.

Looking back at a few pictures, the cannons were all hidden in the trenches. Li Du was stunned when he saw this, and the cannons used in the trenches?

He took out his mobile phone and searched online. The Internet speed was very slow and he couldn't open the pictures, but judging from the text on the opened webpage, there was indeed such a gun, called the trench mortar.

In the introduction, the trench mortar is a smoothbore artillery with a short and thick body, a large firing angle, low initial velocity, and high arc trajectory. They have a short range, but the projectiles are powerful, and are generally used to destroy solid fortifications.

After reading the introduction, Li Du knew that the short and fat man in it was the trench mortar in the text.

He couldn't find more information, but this kind of gun appeared very early. It landed on the stage of history in the 13th century and was later replaced by mortars.

Generally speaking, this kind of gun is relatively old. It was very popular before World War II. The Germans especially liked it. Even in World War II, they still developed it.

In the related introduction, the Karl cannon developed by Germany in World War II was specifically mentioned, because this is the last trench mortar that appeared in history.

The caliber of the Karl cannon is a terrifying 600 mm, the shell weighs 2 tons, and the charge is 350 kg. The idea of ​​the Germans to create such a super-abnormal gun is to break the siege and shackles of the French Maginot solid defense line on the German army.

However, the one in the warehouse is definitely not a fierce guy like Carl Cannon. Li Du guessed that it should have been born during the First World War, because the soldier’s costume in the first scene was the German artillery uniform during the First World War.

After confirming the age and approximate identity of the cannon, he made up his mind to take down the warehouse.

At the end of the visit, he asked Hans in a low voice: "Generally speaking, how much can you take this warehouse?"

Hans frowned and said, "From what I've seen, it's not worth much. There are only some broken car bodies and mechanical skeletons. If there is no special value, it is worth a thousand yuan at most."

Li Du thought for a while and said, "We will offer two thousand yuan."

Hans whispered: "Is this warehouse worth a lot?"

Li Du said: "I can't see the specifics, but it should be quite valuable. Look at the things wrapped in oiled paper and the wooden box. There are valuable things in it. Let's order two thousand yuan?"

Hans shook his head and said, "Be more sure, four thousand yuan!"

This is the charm of silent auctions. No one knows how much the other party will pay, so if you want to win the warehouse you want, you can get the right price, and there is no such thing as a low price.

If it were auctioned normally, they might only be able to win the warehouse for a thousand yuan, or even a few hundred yuan.

But it is also possible that someone will follow their quotations, and they will pay a lot more if they want to win.

Everything about the silent auction is unknown, and any price may appear before the warehouse company determines the winner.

Li Du wrote a price of 4,000 yuan on the paper and put it in a small cardboard box.

Going back, I arrived at the fifteenth warehouse. There were some old goods packed in boxes and leather bags. He quoted a price of two thousand yuan.

This quotation was estimated by him. The value of the goods inside should be around 5,000 yuan, and 2,000 yuan is more appropriate. Even if someone bids it away at a higher price, there is no need to feel sorry.

The eighteenth warehouse is a fishing tackle warehouse. There are fishing rods, outboard machines, fishing chairs and other tools in it. These things are exposed, and treasure hunters are crazy about them.

After discussing with Hans, Li Du decided to write a price of 5,000 yuan.

The most valuable fishing tackle is the outboard engine, which is the Mercury brand. This brand is the ace of yacht engines, and it can sell for five thousand yuan alone.

Twenty-eight warehouses have been photographed, and it's only two o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Du was about to leave, but Hans said, "There is still time, let's go to the monument to have a look, there is also a warehouse for auction today."

After hearing this, Mr. Li frowned and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

If they had said earlier, they would have left long ago, and the fishing tackle warehouse would be worthless.

Hans said: "I have inquired about the warehouse information of this monument, but there is nothing good, and they just started, we have time to go."

The two drove the Hellcat roaring all the way to the monument warehouse. The distance between the two warehouses was relatively far, and it took half an hour to drive there.

On the way, Hans said that the number of warehouses for the auction of the monument is small, only four in total. They came here to check the situation, and it is very likely that the auction has already ended.

The car drove into the warehouse company, and the last warehouse was not auctioned off, so Li Du quickly released the little flying insect.

The remaining warehouse has also entered the auction stage. The treasure hunters have finished their visits, and the auctioneer is about to raise his hand to bid.

But when he saw Li Du and Hans coming, the auctioneer paused for a moment and said, "If you haven't visited the warehouse, please do so quickly and the auction will start soon..."

Before the auctioneer finished speaking, a hurried voice sounded: "Hi, buddy, our visit is over, and the auction should start!"

Li Du heard the voice very familiar. He turned his head and saw two familiar faces, which were Rambis and his brother-in-law, Karl the Mustache.

In Los Angeles, because of Li Du's responsible performance, Carl and Rambis lost everyone, and the treasure hunters in Phoenix and Flagstaff despised them.

Li Du hadn't seen them for a while, and it was said that the two left Arizona to participate in the auction because they had no face to stay there.

Obviously the rumors were not true, and he saw the two of them again.

What also made him strange was that these two people still didn't like him very much. After all, he had joined the 100,000 club, so they didn't dare to offend him.

Looking at the two of them in surprise, the little flying insect released by Li Du entered the warehouse, and then went straight to a small iron cabinet on a shelf.
