Chapter 1425 Mr. Zachs Relics(2/3)
Especially in the corner of the photo, there is a shirtless soldier with a lustful face, holding a syringe in his hand and seeming to be giving a woman an intramuscular injection.
He took out the photo he had taken and enlarged it to look at it. After making sure it was clear enough, he walked to the side of the second photo.
This photo and most of the ones that follow are not much different from the first one. Basically, they record all the good deeds done by American soldiers.
"Looks like it's going to take him a long time."
Knife Bee leaned between her mother and Attorney Judy and whispered in English, "Are we just waiting here?"
"Wait"
Lawyer Judy replied patiently, "Maybe he can really find something."
"If you feel bored, you can first..."
"Forget it, I'll just wait here."
After finishing speaking, Knife Bee walked to the edge of a safe, took out a few wet wipes from his bag and wiped them carefully. He sat cross-legged on it and took out his mobile phone. He first secretly took a photo of Wei Ran, and then sent it to Wei Ran.
To Suisui who is far away in Kazan.
The remake work went on for almost an hour, and Wei Ran finally discovered something different on a display rack at the end.
There are no photos on this display rack, only a Vietnam War Service Medal, a Prisoner of War Medal and a VN15 brooch.
Needless to say, the brooch, but compared to the prisoner of war medal, Wei Ran cared more about the Vietnam War Service Medal. Or rather, he cared more about the inconspicuous silver star hanging on the medal.
Battle star.
Compared with the Service Medal that can be obtained by just staying on the harder battlefield for one day, this small silver star represents that the owner of this medal participated in five official battles in the harder war. This is comparable to the service medal.
The medal itself is much more difficult to obtain.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This safe is used to hold cameras"
Mrs. Miley came from behind and pointed to the safe under the display shelf and said, "The cameras that Mr. Zach used on the Vietnam battlefield, and those that were sent back by his friend Li Youfu, have always been lying in this safe.
"
"You seem to know Mr. Zach's story very well?" Wei Ran asked casually while putting away his phone.
"certainly"
Miley nodded and followed Wei Ran back while explaining, "Mr. Zach was just a sponsor of VN15 in the beginning. He originally just wanted us to help find his friends.
Later, he joined VN15, and we often held gatherings here. Later, after he fired his assistant, Max, we arranged volunteers to take care of him in his later years."
"Let's go and have a look at the house on the corner." Wei Ran did not continue the topic, but only quickened his pace slightly.
Seeing this, Miley didn't say much. She just walked in front with her daughter Daofeng and lawyer Judy at the stairs. She took Wei Ran back to the first floor, then passed through a thick security door and entered.
In the basketball court facing the street.
They waved and said hello to Zha Xifeng, who was smoking against the front of the car outside the barbed wire fence. Judy and Miley then walked to the wall and opened a wall-mounted display. It was more than three meters high and looked like a match.
The metal cabinet of the electrical box.
What Wei Ran didn't expect was that the former pulled out a steel cable that looked to be as thick as chopsticks from the iron cabinet, ran all the way to the opposite side, stepped on the ladder on the wall, and hung it on a cable about three meters above the ground.
On an inconspicuous hook 1 meter high.
Before Judy came down from the ladder, Miley also started to shake a handle in the iron cabinet.
Amidst the soft clicking of the ratchet, the slender steel cable gradually tightened. The knife bee who was originally watching the excitement pulled out a thick canvas curtain from the iron cabinet, trotted all the way to the opposite side, and easily
This small basketball court is divided into two parts from the midfield position.
"Sometimes some stars come here to shoot."
After fixing the ratchet handle, Miley explained, "At that time, Mr. Zach would pull up this curtain so that he wouldn't have to worry about being photographed by the paparazzi outside, but in fact, those things that were obviously from just now
The door we came in through leads to the studio."
“What an exquisite design”
When Wei Ran's free compliment came out of his mouth, Knife Bee had already opened the cab door of the M548 crawler transport vehicle.
"You guys stay away," Knife Bee warned loudly before closing the car door.
Seeing this, Wei Ran quickly stepped aside and watched as Knife Bee hit the car door and smoothly started the transport truck with anti-war symbols painted on the door.
Amidst the squeaking noise, Knife Bee drove the car forward against the wall, about four or five meters away, then stopped and turned off the engine, opened the door and jumped out.
Immediately afterwards, she ran to the back of the car, put down the handbrake of the 715 jeep that was originally blocked by the transport truck, put it in neutral, and pushed it forward a few meters with familiarity, making way for the 715 jeep that was originally blocked by the car body.
a small door.
"Let's go over," Mrs. Miley greeted Wei Ran and followed Lawyer Judy to the back of the car.
While lawyer Judy was using the light of her cell phone to open the door, Wei Ran was also sizing up the transport truck next to him.
Compared with what I saw in the photo, the cargo bed of this transport truck has been covered with a tarpaulin, and the military green tarpaulin also has a huge VN15 logo.
The changes don't stop there, even an Agent Orange barrel is fixed on the ring-shaped anti-aircraft machine gun rack directly above the driver.
Just looking at the welded fixing pins on the barrel, the size of the barrel that fit snugly into the machine gun rack, and even the faucet at the bottom of the barrel, he was sure that most of the Agent Orange barrel was custom-made specifically for this location.
"Can I go up and have a look?"
Wei Ran pointed at the transport truck and asked while Lawyer Judy opened the small door.
"Of course, of course." Miley replied without thinking.
After receiving the other party's permission, he climbed into the cab and carefully looked at the layout inside.
Objectively speaking, there is really not much difference between this car and the ATS-59G that Apolly drove at the fire rescue station, both in appearance and control.
Two joysticks control the left and right tracks, a perfect driving mode for old-fashioned tanks.
Of course, there are differences. This car has a small air conditioner behind the skylight that originally led to the machine gun rack. Moreover, outside the rear glass window of the cab, you can still see the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. Even the outdoor unit is Huaxia
Branded by a well-known underpants brother.
Obviously, these things came from later modifications, and a body information plate he found clearly stated that this was actually an extremely late M548A3.
Based on this information alone, it is unlikely that this car will participate in the Vietnam War. It may be more realistic to participate in the Gulf War.
At this moment, Miley also walked to the car door, raised her head and said, "After Mr. Zach bought this car, he often took it to participate in some military fan activities to help promote VN15. At that time, as long as he saw this car
Car, many people know that VN15 people are coming."
“This is a good car”
Weiran once again responded with a free compliment. After getting off the car, he lifted the tail panel of the cargo hold and looked inside. Unfortunately, there were only barrels of Agent Orange in the cargo hold.
Until he was sure that there was nothing more to gain from this car, he walked to the side of the 715 Jeep again.
"Mr. Zach also bought this car earlier than the previous 'tractor'. He used to drive this car and take his assistant or his daughter to go fishing around the Lehigh River."
Miley explained from the side, "But after the two young men had accidents one after another, we never saw him driving this car again, and we never saw him going fishing again."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Picking up the dusty fishing gear bag on the jeep and taking a look at it, Wei Ran clapped his hands and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
“Come with us”
Miley raised her hand and led Wei Ran through the narrow iron gate that was originally blocked by the car and arrived at the first floor of the building guarding the corner of the street.
Rather than saying this is a photo studio, it would be more appropriate to say it is an atmospheric cafe.
Especially when the three ladies drew up the curtains to let the sunlight in, the most eye-catching thing in this large, well-lit room was the heavy-duty 28-cylinder that was originally placed in the window but was blocked by sexy photos of beautiful women.
A bicycle with a bar, and an M67 recoilless rifle strapped to the frame.
On the other two walls, there are two empty display racks.
"The cameras and lenses that Mr. Zach used to run the studio before are placed on these two display racks." Miley introduced in a timely manner.
Wei Ran nodded without saying anything. He just glanced at the coffee bar, the sofa and the coffee table not far away, and then simply followed the three ladies to the second floor.
When the blinds were opened one after another to let the sunlight in, Wei Ran could see clearly that this floor was completely a large printing room, and there were all kinds of printing and printing equipment inside.
The darkroom occupies one-third of the area.
Objectively speaking, the equipment here is much more professional than the one used in the basement of his library.
Of course, there are more than just printing equipment on this floor. On the side of the stairs leading to the third floor, there is also an Agent Orange barrel. There are also various Vietnam War equipment scattered in it, such as M14, 16 and grenade launchers.
Weapons used by the US military.
"Those were basically bought by Mr. Zach from the fundraising auction," Miley introduced as she followed Wei Ran.
Hearing this, Wei Yan put down the grenade launcher called "China Lake" that he had just pulled out of the oil barrel. Since it was bought at an auction, there was no need to waste time on it.
"What else is upstairs?" Wei Ran asked, pointing to the top of his head.
"Upstairs is Mr. Zach's living room, come with me." Miley said, already walking up the steps.
Climbing the stairs to the third floor, Wei Ran was even more amazed. The most numerous bookshelves on this floor were all kinds of bookshelves placed against the wall.
However, there are no books about photography on these bookshelves. They are basically all comics, various Japanese and American comics. Of course, there are as many as comic books, as well as various figures.
"Mr. Zach and his daughter love reading comics"
Mrs. Miley explained, "A week before his death, Mr. Zach was still reading comics."
