Colonel Kenneth, the director of the HMMV project team at the Pentagon, handed Lieutenant Hanks a brief: "Lieutenant Hanks, you are going to Detroit. ”

"Yes sir," Lieutenant Hanks casually asked his immediate superior, as he took the assignment, "sir, am I going to receive that batch of test cars from Chrysler?"

What does Detroit have? There are four major automobile giants in the United States, and the HMMV project team, as a temporary organization for the development of a new generation of light military vehicles for the US military, sent his own leader to Detroit, and there is nothing else to do except to accept the test prototype In Lieutenant Hanks's memory, it seems that the first batch of test prototypes sent by Chrysler to the HMMV project team were delivered in the past few days, which is not difficult to guess, isn't it?

"Unfortunately, no. Colonel Kenneth was pleased to see that his subordinates had guessed wrong, and it was one of the few small amusements he had every day.

"Isn't it?" Lieutenant Hanks was stunned for a moment, "How is ......it possible? I can't be mistaken...... Chrysler's test prototype was delivered in the next few days. ”

Colonel Kenneth's mood became more and more happy: "That's right, the Chrysler test prototype was delivered in the past few days, but their delivery time is a week later, and now, ......" Colonel Kenneth said with a smile: "It's the Fernandez test prototype." ”

“hat？”

Hanks froze for a moment, frowned and thought for a long time, before remembering where this company called Fernandez was sacred, and couldn't help but subconsciously make a gesture of reaching out and waving his claws: "This Fernandez company you are talking about...... Isn't that the car tuning company called 'Devil's Claw'?"

"To be correct, 'Devil's Claw' is the modification division of Fernandez. Colonel Kenneth smiled more and more happily: "Lieutenant Hanks, pack up, you leave tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, you will go to Detroit with a C-130, and then this C-130 will fly directly from Detroit to the Nevada desert." ”

Why go to the Nevada desert?

Because the U.S. military has an equipment test site in the Nevada desert, all the prototypes of manufacturers participating in the competitive HMMV project will be sent to this equipment test site in Nevada for testing.

"Okay......"

Hanks shrugged: This is a military order, is it possible that he still dares to violate the military order?

........................

As a military tactical transport aircraft, the C-130 "Air Hercules" has excellent take-off and landing performance, such as in the case of no load, it only needs a short runway of 428 meters to stop steadily, while a Boeing 737 passenger aircraft needs a distance of more than 800 meters.

Because of its excellent take-off and landing performance, the C-130 "Sky Hercules" transport aircraft did not land at Detroit International Airport, but chose to land at the small airport where Chen Geng's business jets often take off and land.

Looking at the C-130 "Air Hercules" transport plane that was slowly descending in the sky, Chen Geng sighed not because of the excellent short-distance take-off and landing performance of this transport aircraft, but because of ......

Hold the grass!

Lao Mei is worthy of being the number one military power and economic power on the Blue Star, Nima is really a mess with deep pockets, but it is just transporting three prototype test prototypes, as for directly dispatching a C-130 transport plane, how much oil does it have to burn back and forth? Is it not good to take rail transportation?

Lieutenant Hanks knocked down the cargo ramp that the C-130 "Sky Hercules" transport plane was slowly lowering, his eyes swept around the edge of the runway, and he quickly determined where his target was: on his left, listening to a few cars, three of which were still covered with thick camouflage, looking at the tall and big bodies of these three cars, I thought that these three cars were the prototypes that Fernandez sent to the HMMV project team for testing.

strode to Chen Geng, who was also walking towards him: "Mr. Fernandez?"

"It's me," Chen Geng nodded, "Lieutenant Hanks, right?"

"It's me," the cabin of the military transport plane was noisy and turbulent, in terms of comfort, the military transport aircraft could not be compared with the civil aircraft at all, plus the subjective thought in his heart that Fernandez's test was soy sauce, Lieutenant Hanks didn't give Chen Geng any good look, of course, he didn't deliberately embarrass him, and handed the folder he was holding in his left hand to Chen Geng:" I'm from the Ministry of Defense HMMV project team, and I'm in charge of receiving three test samples from your company, if it's okay, please sign it here, and if there's no doubt, you can hand it over to me, it's the three cars in Naben......, right?"

When his eyes fell on the three cars, he couldn't help but let out a "...... surprise".

It was only at this time that Lieutenant Hanks saw the three HMMV prototypes in camouflage at close range, looking at the three HMMV prototypes sent by Fernandez Company for testing in front of him, Lieutenant Hanks couldn't help but be amazed: although for the sake of secrecy, these three cars were covered with thick camouflage, but I have to admit that this car looks much more imposing than the M151.

In his opinion, the cars participating in the selection of a new generation of military vehicles this time are not only Ford, Am General, Chrysler and other super car giants with decades of development history in the United States, and even super sports car manufacturers such as Lamborghini...... Although the test prototype provided by Lamborghini was applied in the first round of testing...... Fernandez is nothing more than a car tuning factory, what good car can they make?

Follow, right?

Not only did Hanks think so, but the entire U.S. Department of Defense HMMV project also thought so, but seeing the three test prototypes codenamed "Hummer" in front of him, Hanks couldn't help but slightly correct his opinion: Perhaps...... Does this Fernandez company still have some real skills?

It's no wonder that Lieutenant Hanks has this kind of view of judging people by appearance, which is really similar to that of the U.S. military. Compared with the M151 light military jeep with a body size of 3352mm, 1580mm, and 1803mm, the body size of the three prototypes sent to the HMMV project team for testing is more than two laps larger, and what is even more rare is that even through thick camouflage can not hide the majestic momentum of this car, which is not a little more imposing than the test prototype of Lamborghini that was beaten into a pile of scrap metal and the M151 in service.

What surprised Hanks the most was that although there was no data on these three prototypes, it could be found that the three prototypes provided by Fernandez were not only larger in body and theoretically had a greater carrying capacity than the M151, but also had a much larger ground clearance, approach angle and departure angle than the M151 light jeep in service, which means that the off-road performance of this car is theoretically stronger than that of the M151...... How is this possible? Fernandez is nothing more than a car tuning company, with absolutely no experience in the development and manufacture of military vehicles, how can they make such a great military off-road vehicle?

He turned his head to look at Chen Geng, who was standing beside him, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, work, this is your company's car?" ”

"Of course," Chen Geng nodded, and said proudly: "I dare to say that if there is a car that can pass the test of the Ministry of Defense at one time, it can only be our hummer." ”

This guy is a bit crazy, who gave you the confidence and courage to speak like that? Lieutenant Hanks couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "yes? I don't think so." ”

"Oh?"

"A company that has never had experience in the development of complete vehicles, especially high-standard military vehicles, wants to pass the most demanding military vehicle testing standards on the planet with its first car? What are you kidding?" As a member of the U.S. military, Lieutenant Hanks believes that it is necessary for him to maintain the majesty of the U.S. military.

Regarding Lieutenant Hanks's opinion, Chen Geng just smiled and argued with a small soldier: "Lieutenant Hanks, whether you can pass the HMMV test or not, you don't count, you have to say the test results of the test team to count, so ......"

He shrugged and didn't speak.

Lieutenant Hanks was indeed angry, although Chen Geng didn't speak, but the meaning of fools understands: You said that my car can't pass the test?

Lieutenant Hanks has already made up his mind in his heart, and when this batch of cars is sent to Nevada, Lao Tzu told those bastards in the test team that within the test framework, these three cars must be tested in the most stringent test method, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, what cats and dogs can produce military vehicles that can meet the requirements of the US military?

........................

Lieutenant Hanks thought that the Fernandez prototype would not pass the HMMV project test, but the HMMV project test team at a test site in Nevada apparently did not think so, and even the test team was attracted when the three HMV test vehicles, codenamed "Hummer", which had been dismantled from the aircraft and were dismantled, drove down the cargo ramp of the C-130 "Sky Hercules" transport aircraft.

Don't be surprised that they have such a reaction, it is really from the first HMMV prototype to test, except for the Lamborghini car, all the test cars sent for testing have not gotten rid of the shadow and frame of the M38 and M151, no matter how you look at it, it is a super upgraded version of the M151, even if it is a prototype car that Ford has never tested, except for the one in front of him, codenamed "Hummer" The test prototype car, completely rid of the traditional Willis Jeep design and frame, at least from the appearance of the new standards and design ideas, not to mention the wide and powerful body of this car, people at a glance have a kind of "who else me" pride, compared with the Fernandez company's car, the length of less than three meters four M151 is simply like a stunted dwarf.

"Yes, yes, damn, it's been so long that I finally have a car that is pleasing to the eye. The boss of the test team rubbed his hands and looked excited: "I hope this guy is not a good thing." ”
