1855 United States Tycoon

Relying on his outstanding calmness, Alonso finally stopped the car. This place is still about a kilometer away from the dock, but Alonso dared not drive this car anymore. He parked the car on the side of the road and got into trouble. What should I do now? During those few days of study, he also had a little exposure to car repair, but to be honest, in a few days, how could he learn something, like the problem of the brake system, but he could not handle it well. Normally, he should go to the Volkswagen guys immediately and let them see what went wrong. But this truck of cargo can’t just be left here, otherwise, don’t look at the things on the truck, and there is no one around now, but Alonso knows that as long as no one is watching, some guys will be like The same thing came out of the ground, suddenly appeared next to this car, and then at most half an hour, maybe only ten minutes, the contents of this car will evaporate from the world. And this place is outside the city and there is no public carriage. It takes at least two and a half hours to walk from here to Volkswagen. There is such a long time, not to mention the goods, even the car itself, there is nothing left. Hard to say.

Or walk to the pier first, let the people on the pier come over and look at the goods first, and then think of a solution? However, it would take dozens of minutes to go from here to the pier, and no one would dare to say how much cargo there would be.

Therefore, Alonso can only wait here first, waiting for other cars or carriages to pass by, and then let them go to the dock to call a few people over. It's just that it's about because it's already close to the time to eat, so no matter if it was a car or a horse-drawn carriage, the people who ran on this road were gone at this time. Probably their drivers or coachmen have all gone to eat.

Alonso waited on the side of the road for a long time, only to see a man carrying a zigzag bicycle and walking towards this side with the other hand holding half of the wheel. Alonso immediately thought of the man he almost hit. He hurried up to meet him and said to the man: "Brother, the brakes of my car failed just now and I couldn't stop it. Almost something happened... ...How? Brother, are you okay?"

Alonso noticed that the man's clothes had been torn in several places, and a large side of the left sleeve was torn to reveal the white shirt sleeve inside. There was also a big hole in the pants, and it was covered with dust. The man's face was even more blue and purple, and his left eye was swollen.

"You look at me like this, do you seem to be okay?" Subi said, while looking at Alonso slantingly, while assessing the size and strength of the guy opposite. At the same time, he wondered if he could do this damn guy if he got into a fight. After observation, Subi came to a conclusion that made him very frustrated: the guy opposite was almost a head taller than him, and he was also very strong, plus whether he was injured, so he would probably not be able to beat him. After realizing this, Soapy felt even more depressed.

After making promises such as paying compensation and promising to provide a commission, Subi agreed to help Alonso call someone to see the car. At the same time, as a reporter, he is also very interested in whether the new car really has performance defects.

After a few hours, the people from the "Volkswagen Company" arrived. After studying the car's situation carefully, they came to the conclusion that there is no problem with the car at all. It must be that the driver is too tired to operate. Mistakes. In short, just like the company of the same name in another time and space, no matter what goes wrong, even if the axle is broken, it is definitely not a design defect or quality problem, but your improper operation. What's more terrible is that the people of Volkswagen got into the car by themselves, drove for a while, tried the brakes, and there really was no problem. Even Alonso went up and tried it, and had to admit that the brakes are now good.

"But just...just now obviously..." Alonso murmured.

"You must have made a mistake just now." Even Soupy said so.

...

"Captain Adoc! Captain Adoc! I'm back." Bobby yelled before he even entered the door.

"Ah, this kid Bobby is still so uncomfortable." Captain Adok said to Nelson with a smile, and opened the window, then he held out his head and shouted at Bobby: "Bobby, here, Come here!"

"Okay, Captain!" Bobby responded, and ran over from here.

"Captain, would you like something? Then I'm going out first?" Nelson said. As a piglet bought by Vito, Nelson has performed very well in smuggling operations in the past two years. Now he has paid off the money owed to Mr. Vito. According to reason, he can leave the ship, no To do such an adventurous business. However, during this time, Nelson found that he was completely in love with the sea, and fell in love with this kind of adventure like walking on a sharp knife. What's more, if you continue to work, all the money you make will be regarded as own, and because of the outstanding performance, Captain Adok promised that if he is willing to stay, he is willing to give him more wages.

"Nelson’s technology is pretty good. But this technology is not worth the price I give him now. However, Nelson has one thing that others can’t compare. This guy’s luck is super good, you see, since this guy arrived. How many things happened to us on our ship? And a while ago, we sent him to take care of things, and as a result, a lot of things happened on the ship immediately, right?” It is said that Captain Adock explained to the chief mate in this way at the time. Yes, and the first officer agreed with Captain Adok after thinking about it. So Nelson became the sailor and mascot on the Mississippi Slut.

"Ah, this matter is also related to you, so let's listen to it together." Captain Adok said.

At this time, Bob had already ran over without knocking on the door, he just pushed the door and walked in.

"Bob, did you get it?" Captain Adok asked.

"I got it. I drove it back. It just stopped outside the yard." Bob replied.

"Very good, how? Is it fun to drive?" Adoc asked.

"Fun," Bob replied.

"Then hurry up and play, it won't be long before you have to play." Captain Adok said.

"Damn it!" Bob said.

"Captain, can you tell me, what are you talking about?" Nelson asked.

...

It turned out that Volkswagen's advertisement also hit Florida. So Captain Adok saw the relevant advertisement in the newspaper. On a machine no bigger than a horse-drawn carriage, there was a forty horsepower engine. So Captain Adok immediately thought, if he could install this engine on his smuggling boat, wouldn't it be unprofitable for his smuggling boat to start smuggling?

So Captain Adok immediately sent Bob over and asked him to contact Vito so that he could buy an engine from the "Volkswagen" so that it could be installed on his boat. However, Bob sent a telegram back shortly, saying that Mr. Vito told him that "Volkswagen" claimed that the output of the engine was limited and all the engines had to be used in the car. There was no surplus to sell, and the company had a deep background. He has no more good solutions. So Adoc had no choice but to instruct him to buy a whole car back. But even the whole car is not so easy to order. Fortunately, Mr. Vito still has some means. Successfully ordered a Volkswagen truck for them, and they arranged a train so that they could send this thing back. Moreover, Mr. Vito even did the job of "Volkswagen" and asked them to send an assistant to help Adoc refit the boat. Of course, this is not free. The entire service fee is almost more expensive than the car

So a few days later, this 40-horsepower gasoline engine was moved to a small sampan, and it was simply and roughly installed on a stern part of the stern that can be rotated left and right, and its output power, even without After the variable speed system, it is directly connected to a propeller that can rotate with the engine, so the world's first smuggling special large airship appeared.

Of course, compared to another time and space, the highest speed of this "speedboat" equipped with a 40-horsepower engine can be compared to the smuggling-specialized large speedboat that can run to an astonishing 60 knots with 7 250-horsepower engines in one breath. It was just twenty-four knots, and when it was full of cargo, the speed dropped to only about fifteen or six knots. However, this was enough, because the Spaniards simply did not have a warship that could reach this speed.

After installing this thing, Captain Adok added another artifact dedicated to smuggling. However, Captain Adok is a person who can't keep a secret, especially when attending a meeting of the Seamen's Alcohol Rehabilitation Association and performing publicly how to stop drinking 8 to 10 times in an hour. Of course, the so-called quitting alcohol refers to that Captain Adok has finished drinking a bottle in his hand, but before he has time to open the next bottle. Just as the guys in some places took turns on a five-hour hunger strike, this interval was called "a successful alcohol stop" by Captain Adok with great integrity.

During a certain "successful abstinence" time, Captain Adok accidentally told the story of buying a car and refitting a speedboat. As a result, the story immediately spread in the smuggling community in Florida, and then, not long after, "Volkswagen" continued to receive orders from Florida. After purchasing the car, these buyers even take the engine down and take it away, and sell all the other parts to the companies that purchase auto parts.
