England 1986

Chapter 283 Preparing for the Eve
June 6th is the United Nations International Environment Day.

Although it is already summer, the temperature difference during the day is still a little big. When Allen woke up in the morning, it was almost eighty-nine degrees outside, so he needed to wear a coat.

At one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the highest temperature in the whole day is about fifteen or sixteen degrees.

Carmarthen is not considered a coastal city, but an inland valley and hilly area. The average temperature will be a little lower than that of Swansea or Cardiff in the south, which can be regarded as "the temperature in the mountains".

Wearing a cloak with black outer and red inner, Allen stood vigorously at the door of the hall, waiting for the servant to lead the horse for him, and knocked the whip on his right hand on his left hand.

Dozens of huge tents were set up in the front yard of the manor at this time. It has been a long time since so many people lived in the manor since he became the head of the house. Now more than 1000 people come here at one time, which still looks very spectacular. of.

Although the rooms in the castle are crowded, they can still accommodate people, but there are not enough beds. Huth is sending people to rush to buy beds, and the rest of the people can only temporarily live in tents.

At this time, on the lawn, dozens of Allen's bodyguards were directing thousands of new employees of the food delivery company to move weapons and wipe guns out of the underground warehouse.

Just taking advantage of enough manpower this time, I pulled out all the old weapons at home for maintenance.

Although these people are good retired veterans, many of them don't know how to maintain this old-fashioned weapon at all, and they have to let their "bodyguard captain" demonstrate it.

The classic firearms from World War I, and World War II, anyway, there are several models of all kinds. These are the wealth accumulated bit by bit by the Hill family over the years, who have handled several earls.

Now that so many weapons have been brought out of the underground warehouse to see the light of day, it looks extremely spectacular.

Rows of firearms were neatly placed on the ground after cleaning, barreling, and oiling.

The gun is finished, and there are guns. There is no heavy firepower at home. They are all classic old weapons.

It was in service during World War I, and it was used until World War II. The old 18-pound gun was later upgraded and replaced with pneumatic tires, which can be towed by cars.

There is also the 2-pound gun of the early model of World War II. This is an anti-tank gun used to fight tanks. Later, the German armored vehicles were upgraded. He was sent home by caring people.

There are also some more shrewd aristocrats who sold these old-fashioned old artillery to Asia. The armored vehicles of the island country were relatively fragile at that time, and they shot one by one in front of this thing.

The "Italian Cannon" in a famous Anti-Japanese War drama is very similar to this thing.

It is said that it continued to be used after the war. Anyway, Allen didn't know much about it, and he was not very clear.

These units of measurement in Great Britain are very troublesome, such as artillery, some are calculated by pound, and some are calculated by caliber.

Even in terms of pounds, the old-fashioned artillery is stupid and thick, with a large charge, but its range is short and its power is not very good, while the new-style artillery has a small charge, a long range, and great power.

Just looking at these data, there is no way to distinguish the power of various types of artillery.

Fortunately, these things were suitable for photographing the British troops in Canada at the time.

Canada is far overseas, even more remote than Wales. With these old equipment, it seems very realistic that the equipment of the troops is backward.

Looking at the thousands of soldiers on the playground and the weapons all over the ground, although the weapons are not very advanced, Alan at this moment still feels a little complacent.

If this... If this power is given to him 100 years in advance
The size of Lao Tzu's title should also be mentioned up.

According to the family history records of the family, when the Hill family was at its most prosperous in history, it only raised less than [-] heavy cavalry.

Moreover, this heavy cavalry is just a heavy cavalry named after the standard equipment on the British side. It is not the real heavy cavalry that even horses wear iron armor in ancient China.

The heavy cavalry of the Hill family means that the knights wear plate armor with a chain armor lining inside, and the horses wear leather armor. This is considered a heavy cavalry.

In addition to the handymen on bad horses who provided logistics for the cavalry, they were known as five hundred heavy cavalry at that time.

This is the "heavy soldiers" raised by the funds provided by the British royal family at that time to tighten their belts.

Don't underestimate the less than [-] heavy cavalry, this is already a devastating force in Wales!
Unlike some novels, there are hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of cavalry at every turn.

Those who ride on horseback, have no armor, and take any weapon at random are called cavalry at all.

Those who are really well-armored, like the heavy cavalry raised by the Hill family before, take advantage of the many hills in Wales, and under one charge, the village-level population gathering units in the whole of Wales are like no one else. territory.

It can be said that the cost of raising these hundreds of heavy cavalry and eating horse chews was more expensive than raising a first-class battleship at that time.

Think about the concept of putting a "first-class battleship" on land in Wales, which has a total population of only 300 million at that time? !

Throughout the beginning of June, Carmarthen Town was in chaos. Some people had secretly driven to other cities to join relatives, but most of them were still working locally and had to stay.

The mayor and several town councilors distributed leaflets door to door.

The latest schedule is printed on the leaflets. Every family has to tidy up their houses. Everything that is too trendy outside has to be removed, and the advertising signs of the shops have to be removed.

Moreover, there are bilingual signs in many places in Wales, with Welsh on the left and English on the right. These have to be removed and hidden, and then taken out after the film is finished.

Every household has to find out the old clothes, and can't wear too fashionable clothes, which will affect the sense of age.

For Allen's order, the mayor was almost drunk.

These bastards don't listen to him very much, and Master Allen doesn't show up either.

So everything is messed up, like a cat catching a mouse, often things that have only been explained here, there is a commotion over there, the old-fashioned MG car is stunned to be driven out of a taxi by the mayor It feels like wandering through the streets of Carmarthen Town every day.

As for the specific movie to be made, the mayor didn't say anything, and Allen didn't tell him. He only asked him to notify the people in the town to make preliminary preparations.

The residents of Carmarthen Town also looked confused. They only knew that they had to wear old-fashioned clothes recently and just hide all the trendy things at home.

In just a few days, under such an atmosphere of flying dogs and dogs, some neon signs and billboards were demolished in Carmarthen Town, which was not very modern. It seemed that the economy went back 50 years and returned to the 40s. like.

The buildings are still those buildings, and people wear the old tattered traditional clothes of the family, and they still look like that.

Some didn't come back, and the house was vacant, and special actors were arranged to play some French people.

Canada is a country with a dual ethnicity of British and French.

On June 20th, near the end of the month, the entire town of Carmarthen was finally ready for filming and was waiting for the arrival of their lord director.

And before dawn early in the morning, the gate of Hill's Manor was brightly lit, and the searchlights that hadn't been turned on for many years were also turned on, and beams of light directly illuminated the road at the gate.

Starting from the gate of the manor, more than 50 old-fashioned Austin K30 vintage trucks, plus dozens of modern trucks have been waiting for a long time.

Among the dozens of trucks that followed, there were more than 300 poor-behaved Koreans pulled back from the construction site.

They have an important role in this movie, cameos Indians!
Winnipeg, Canada, is a city where Indians gather. In history, many Indians settled here to escape the pursuit of the Americans.

And these Koreans are hiding in the truck and shivering at this time, some of them are a little more courageous, and they still have time to whisper.

"What's going on here?"

"Is there a mutiny going on? Ah Xi, are we going to die?"

"Isn't it going to take us to sacrifice the flag?"

"Keep your voice down! Don't let these ghosts hear you."

At the gate of Hill Manor at this time, dozens of soldiers in German uniforms, armed with British rifles, were ready to go.

They are all high-nosed and deep-set. Once the military uniform is put on, Koreans can’t tell whether it is a British or a German. Anyway, it looks like a dream back to World War II.
Click, click, click.

Although the footsteps are not very neat, but the momentum is full.

Some soldiers are still helping to carry supplies and "ammunition boxes" to the vehicle.

Some are still hanging towed guns on the back of the car, which looks like they are preparing to go to war.

The "German army" with thousands of people is still equipped with equipment.

Just like this scene, let alone Koreans, anyone who comes to see this scene must be afraid!
Especially on the truck canvas, the rows of big swastika flags are extremely eye-catching.

"Master, everything is ready, do you think we should get in the car first?"

Xiao Shitou also changed into a German military uniform and followed suit.

It looks a bit like a translator.

Allen was dressed in a German military officer's uniform with the same vicious taste, and said with a flick of the whip: "I won't take the car anymore, you call a few people to come with me, and let's ride there."

The horseback ride is at most ten minutes away, and Allen is too lazy to take a car. Today's atmosphere makes him not want to take a car.

"Yes!"

Little Shitou subconsciously put his feet together, tilted his head, and raised his chin, looking a bit like a German army.

Slightly relaxing the reins, Alan rode his big white horse given by Boss Cha, with his cloak flapping behind him, from the end of the convoy all the way to the front of the convoy.

There are also sidecar motorcycles and several old tanks here. They are all real guys that can be used after emergency maintenance!
"set off!"

Looking at the flagpole standing on the tank, the small swastika flag flickered.

Allen waved his hand, and there was a sense of déjà vu that he was about to attack Carmarthen Town.

After giving the order, Allen took the lead, and patted the big white horse under his seat like he was flying, letting it run at a small pace, along the road, facing the night, towards Carmarthen Town.

At 05:30 in Carmarthen Town, the sky was not yet completely bright. As early as three o'clock, there was a noise in the town. The crew arrived ahead of time to arrange the shooting track and boom.

With dark circles under his eyes, the mayor led a few people to follow behind Sifis to help with the work.

After being busy for more than two hours, Sifis just wanted to praise the mayor when he suddenly felt a slight vibration on the ground.

The Toway River separates the town of Carmarthen from the Hill family estate, the town is on the north side of the Toway River, and the Hill Manor is on the south side of the Toway River.

It was not yet dawn at this time, and Sifis was standing on the periphery again, ready to meet Allen, but now a little noise caught his attention.

The voice sounded muffled, as if a group of people were running towards this side, thud-dump-dump.

When the sound turned from far to near, I saw a team of dozens of horses running towards this side.

The only one who can form dozens of cavalry in this formation nearby is my young master.

Although it was a little strange why the young master was interested in riding a horse early in the morning, Sifis couldn't care less, patted the mayor on the shoulder and said: "Stand by the roadside, Your Excellency the Earl is here!"

There has always been a very miraculous phenomenon, such as teasing a dog, uttering the onomatopoeia of sipping, no matter where you go, no matter what country you are, the puppy will always respond to this syllable.

But what if instead of a dog, what about a horse?
When Huaguo was riding a horse, many times he wanted the horse to speed up, and he would shout "drive!", and there was a corresponding command "drive" when he stopped.

How should I call it abroad?
Alan doesn't know about other places, but on Daying's side, passwords are generally not shouted.

Civilians also have passwords when riding horses, such as "O, shop".

However, the equestrian education of Alan nobles is based on the cavalry's equestrian training. The voices on the battlefield are messy. If only the passwords are used, the horses can easily not be heard due to the noise from the outside world, which will delay things.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is to pull the rein and make corresponding instructions by pinching the legs.

For example, in the current Allen, the horse was almost running in front of Sifis, and he pulled the reins. The big white horse made a pedaling movement with its forelegs off the ground, looking extremely handsome.

"Master?! You are here, everything has been arranged here, look."

Syphis rubbed his hands and stood outside, it was still a little cold in the morning.

But he deliberately didn't want to go in to rest, so that Alan could see him for the first time, especially seeing how he was working hard!
After all, he has just been awarded the title, so he still needs to perform well and show his loyalty to the young master.

"No rush! Tell everyone to get ready. I'm going to have a big game later. I'm going to give the residents of the town a wake-up call!"

Allen looked at Carmarthen Town before dawn. As the old saying goes, he held a sharp weapon and committed suicide.

He has this kind of feeling now, he always wants to step into the town and have a good time.

But only reason limits Allen. After all, this is a movie, so it can't be too much.

However, I heard from the mayor that the notice was passed a few days ago, and the people in the town were asked to cooperate with him to make a movie. There are a few unruly people who are not very obedient!

Thinking of this, Allen looked down at the mayor standing beside Sifis and said, "Where is the map I asked you to bring? Give it to me!"

The mayor looked at the big white horse that Alan was riding in a daze. This was one of the few opportunities for him to get in touch with Alan at close range. He had seen it a few times from a distance before, and this gentleman didn't even have the desire to talk to him. , now finally has a chance to show his face in front of him.

Hearing Alan's voice, the mayor acted smartly, quickly took out a map from his pocket, and handed it to Alan on the horse on tiptoe.
