The teacher and student followed Federer's car to the city center, and finally stopped at the door of a small auto repair shop
Under the leadership of Federer, a group of three people arrived Arriving at the innermost room of the auto repair shop, we were able to see the whole picture of the gun modification studio.
This room with an indoor area of three to four hundred square meters is filled with all kinds of machining equipment with no apparent purpose. In the center of the room, there are two rows of machines illuminated by spotlights. Glass showcase. In the far corner, there are several middle-aged people who are focused on doing something in front of the machine. < /p>
"Do you really want to buy a gun?" Federer asked with raised eyebrows.
"Of course, of course I want to buy a gun, otherwise why would I come here?" Professor Alexei deliberately patted his shoulder bag while speaking, "Take out the best pistol, I I brought enough money this time."
A trace of imperceptible schadenfreude flashed across Federer's face. He raised his hand to call a beautiful hairy girl in overalls and said something to his ear. The reporter nodded immediately, turned around and took out a metal gun box from a tin cabinet and placed it on the glass counter.
"This pistol should be considered one of the most expensive pistols we have here."
After Federer finished speaking, he nodded to the girl in overalls, who introduced him dutifully. , "This pistol is based on the P09 service pistol produced by the Czech company CZ and was rebuilt by the Swiss Sphinx Company. In addition to using a higher-quality barrel and a snake-grained wood handle patch, most of the rest The parts are all made of high-quality titanium alloy produced by our company and assembled by Sphinx's master gunsmiths. Most importantly, it uses a full-length slide rail and..."
"Okay, how much is it?" Professor Alexey unzipped his satchel as he spoke.
Feederer pushed the gun case in front of the professor and said calmly, "Because of our previous cooperation, this pistol only costs $25,000."
" Only 20,000 US dollars? Just such a broken pistol!" Professor Alexei couldn't take it out. He didn't know that a broken pistol could be sold for so much. !
Federer concealed his ridicule very well and said matter-of-factly, "The price is not expensive. If you want to buy a more cost-effective one, you can look at the original P09 pistol. The cheapest is less than 500 US dollars."
"Since you said so, then let's get the original one."
Professor Alexei gave up decisively, he would not be stupid enough to spend such money. Too much money just to buy a useless piece of iron...titanium lump.
"Of course"
Federer waved his hand indifferently, and the girl in overalls also took it as expected.He took out a plastic gun box, opened it, and pushed it in front of Professor Alexey.
After settling the money happily, Professor Alexey pretended to be casual and asked, "Federer, for the sake of the fact that I bought a pistol from here, help me get my gun for free." How about a maintenance job? I want the best gunsmith here."
After glancing at the PPK pistol that Professor Alexei had pulled out, the girl in overalls couldn't help but remind her, " Sir, this is just a PPK pistol."
"Don't underestimate it"
Professor Alexey talked about this pistol as if to show off. At the same time, he glanced at a middle-aged man with gray hair who was attracted.
By the time Professor Alexei finished telling the story of the gun, the gray-haired middle-aged man had already taken off the cowhide apron around his waist, and then stretched out his metal-stained gun towards Professor Alexei. With crumbs and slightly oily hands, "I am Alexander, Federer should have told you about me."
"Federer has always told me that Mr. Alexander is a very sentimental and patriotic collector."

While Professor Alexey stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party, a series of free flattery came out of his mouth. As for the plastic gun case and the PPK pistol on the table, But it was never mentioned again.
This steel tycoon is not like Ilya who bought those negatives. He is not interested in Professor Alexei's flattery at all. After letting go of his hand, he said with a smile, "Professor Alexei, How about we find a quiet place to talk alone?"
Professor Alexey resumed his gentle manner in school, "This is my pleasure, Mr. Alexander."
p>"Follow me, and pick up the PPK by the way." After Alexander finished speaking, he had already pushed open the wooden door of the inner lounge.
"Wait a moment"
Professor Alexei picked up the plastic gun box on the table and patted Wei Ran's hand, "This is a gift for you, worth it A gift of $500. Victor, please go back first, and remember to ask for leave for me and your aunt. In addition, you can try to find clues from the anti-tank gun first."
Before Wei Ran could say anything, Professor Alexey took the PPK pistol on the glass display case and followed Alexander into the inner lounge.
"It's rare for your teacher to be so generous"
Federer said with suppressed laughter. The old guy's willingness to spend 500 US dollars to buy a pistol was definitely a big investment, and he Federer's purpose of getting closer to his boss was naturally revealed when he took out the PPK.
“Don’t say that”
Wei Ran replied seriously, “My teacher Mr. Alexey is the most generous person on both sides of the Volga River. He will definitely not feel bad. That's a little money."
"I hope so," Federer said with a joking smile, "Remember to remind your teacher that we don't accept returns here."
"He will definitely be sad when he knows the news"
Wei Ran teased his teacher, left the auto repair shop accompanied by Federer, and drove back with the trailer transporting the anti-tank gun. studio.
It took a lot of trouble to send the artillery into the studio. After Weiran closed the rolling shutter door, he did not rush to summon the cowhide notebook. Instead, he meticulously followed Professor Alexei’s instructions. method and analyzed the origin of this artillery step by step.
According to the remaining business card on the gun mount, this artillery was produced by Arsenal No. 92 in Gorky City in May 1942, using a model with simplified gun locks and control devices.
This bit of information can at least push its entry into the war to after May 1942, but even so, the scope to be searched is still too wide.
Moreover, at least more than 40,000 of this gun were produced before the end of World War II. They were widely distributed on almost the entire Eastern Front battlefield. From such a large base, we want to find the one in 40,000 that participated in the war. Experience is like finding a needle in a haystack.
