Chapter 1034: Tell the World That They're Finished!
The equipment of the East German People's Army is all good things, not to mention the quality of the East German self-made, and even the ones sold to them by the Soviet Union are basically not reduced and low-end versions.
Those upgraded T55 tanks are even better than those used by the Soviet Union itself, and the T72 is also needless to say, it is not a low-profile version sold to Iraq: for forty years, it has been facing NATO on the front line with the Soviet Union, and as allies, both sides have even pinched a piece of combat deployment, and the Soviets will only sell it to the East Germans when their brains are pumped.
The T72 was designed by the Soviet Union, but it was not only the Soviet Union that made it, but even Yugoslavia, Poland, and Czechoslovakia had this capability, and they purchased a nuclear license for the production technology.
Because East Germany was on the front line of the confrontation between the East and the West, according to the overall strategy of the Warsaw Pact, East Germany only had the ability to overhaul and maintain tanks, and did not have a complete production line for manufacturing tanks.
For this reason, the T72 tanks equipped by East Germany were divided into two parts: the first part was assembled by itself after importing components from the Soviet Union, and the second part was basically the T72 obtained in the 80s, which was manufactured in the tank factories of the Soviet Union, Poland and Czechoslovakia.
It is said that many of Iraq's "monkey version" T72s were made in Poland and Czechoslovakia, so the East German T72 is also a "monkey version"?
It's not the same, the Arabs can pit to death, but if the Soviet Union cheated East Germany during the Cold War, it would be tantamount to pit the USSR itself!
Russians are not stupid!
Canada later bought several T72 tanks equipped with East Germany for testing, and it was found that the fire control system was much more advanced than the "Arab Monkey Version", and fortunately there was no tank war in Europe at the beginning, otherwise NATO's tank cluster would be beaten by T72 and my mother didn't know it!
At the beginning, a large number of main battle tanks in NATO countries were mostly equipped with British technology L7 105mm rifled tank guns, and the armor-piercing shells fired were not even able to gnaw at the frontal armor of the East German T72 at normal engagement distances, not to mention the side armor!
As soon as it is reversed, the 125mm smoothbore gun on the T72 is like an efficient hole-punching machine against Western second-generation main battle tanks such as the Leopard 1, even if it uses old-fashioned armor-piercing shells, and if the M1A1 is used against it, it is impossible to play the same record as in Iraq, at least the armor plates of the Americans are not so safe.
At the beginning of the year, the Gulf War caused the value and image of Soviet-style equipment to plummet, and it was a good time to start.
The Germans don't want it, Zhang Nan wants it, it doesn't matter if it's fun, it's just money - after the Germans come back to their senses after two years and find out the actual condition of the T72 sealed at hand, it will not be so easy to buy it.
If you want to buy it, then hurry!
Hearing the men discussing the removal of the East German People's Army stockpiles during dinner, Jenny interjected and asked, "How much money?"
Thomas didn't count the general number, and he couldn't answer at once, so Zhang Nan on the side said: "Even the Poles and Indonesian monkeys can afford it, it shouldn't be much, just use my small treasury first, it's not enough to use the company's funds." ”
Jenny didn't intend to go on when she heard this, and as for the others...
The boss's "pocket money" can think of going to the East German People's Army for decades, Poles, Hungarians, Czechoslovakians, Yugoslavs...
A group of countries together don't have the boss to have personal money, and these days are mixed - it is estimated that they will have to cry and faint in the toilet!
"Rich" is not the most strong, the most powerful thing is that the man dares to directly talk to the woman in the family about his own private small treasury, and a group of people in the restaurant are in awe of this: "The boss is really a model for my generation to do this!"
Eastern Europeans are staring at the German equipment sale, and there is also a Yugoslavia in southeastern Europe that can also get a lot of "benefits, if this will still be called Yugoslavia."
Today's Balkan Peninsula is a pot of porridge, with countless casualties every day, and the demand for arms is very large!
How did the weapon come from?
In addition to stocks and military factory production, there are several parties in the Yugoslav Civil War that can still get the support of NATO countries: the large-scale appearance of NATO system equipment on the battlefield of the Yugoslav Civil War does not seem suitable for the time being, and it is not customary to use it, then give them the Soviet-style series, and there will be a lot of German arsenals after the merger!
Not to mention anything else, the East German version of AK47 and AKM have already appeared in the Balkans here, and there will be more in the future!
Zhang Nan moved Germany's Soviet arms and equipment for his own selfish interests, which can be indirectly regarded as accumulating virtue, otherwise those arms and ammunition will not only be consumed in the battle when they arrive in the Balkans, but many will also become tools for slaughtering civilians!
Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, calculated according to human life alone, this floating slaughter can reach into space without paying attention, Zhang Nan will feel that he is a good person when he thinks about it.
......
I think I'm a good person, but there is an old saying that "I say I'm a bad straw", and I just decided to go to Germany to shop for goods at the table, and even the dinner hasn't broken up, Brown came, and brought an annoyance, news.
This good guy hasn't been a good guy for an hour, and Zhang Nan decided to turn back into a villain immediately!
It will kill a lot of people, and it may implicate a lot of innocent people.
But how to say it: innocent people should have been implicated in the first place, and getting into the bad luck can only be regarded as their bad luck, at most they will add a sentence in some news, "how many innocent people have died and injured", and then...
It's good to mention a sentence, and you still want to have then?
Be content!
This world is very realistic, and it turns quite fast, and ordinary people are not much more important than ants.
This Zhang Nan has not seen Brown for several months, and lately this guy has been dealing with some things about the diamond mines in Africa, the biggest reason is that the situation in Angola has gradually calmed down since April this year, and various factions there are taking the initiative to contact Western multinationals about investment.
The boss didn't bother to pay attention to the diamond business for the time being, and Comrade Brown wouldn't be stupid enough to ask the reason, so he had to roll up his sleeves and work hard!
Angola is rich in mineral resources, which has been fought for more than ten years, and everyone does not want to fight for the time being, and all factions find that they have become poor, and they immediately want to make a fortune.
Poor countries have resources, not only diamonds, but also non-ferrous metals and petroleum resources; Multinational corporations have capital, technology, and resources, and it is difficult for everyone to join forces without getting rich!
There is no shortage of "Xingchen International" here, which was already investing in Shaolimu, and this time it was decided to take advantage of the favorable opportunity to see if there were any new suitable investment projects, anyway, it was something that could be done at most for a few million dollars in the early stage, and Brown said hello to Zhang Nan and made his own decision.
More than 20 staff members were dispatched from Botswana and a small amount of equipment to form two prospecting teams, which were coordinated by the forces in the local de facto control of Angola.
According to the prior agreement, this investment will take the common international "peaceful use of resources" method: the preliminary exploration funds "Xingchen International" bears, if suitable mining deposits and mining areas are found, Xingchen Company will invest, and the local "government" is responsible for the mess of safety and ordinary labor, and the benefits are divided in half.
In fact, the company's revenue ratio will be much higher than that of Angola's partners, because the share is calculated according to the value of local mineral deposits in Africa, while "Xingchen International" plays with mines and deep processing, and the follow-up has nothing to do with the Angolans.
This money Angorans can only pinch their noses and admit it, who makes themselves incapable: how much can they eat, and those who don't understand this are choked to death.
But the problem arises: if it is just a general mine suitable for industry, it is not a big problem to adopt such a method, and everyone will slowly get rich.
But many times people are not as good as the sky, this is not good for no money, and people without money are afraid of getting rich overnight!
This will Thomas didn't leave, what Brown said also has something to do with the part he is responsible for, after listening to what Brown said, he opened his eyes and asked: "A prospecting team of 14 people is all dead!"
Brown first glanced at the boss with a somewhat ugly face, and saw that Zhang Nan didn't mean to speak for the time being, so he said to Thomas: "Yes, none of them ran out."
We had never imagined that there would be such a huge high-grade impact diamond mine in the riverbed area near Lukapa, where 14 people, three Americans, two Chinese technicians, and five Botswana technicians we trained, plus four security guards were all killed, and the warlord leaders in that area had their heads and butts when they saw the diamonds.
I don't think it's that simple, there are even De Beers and even Anglo American behind it..."
Anglo American, a veteran Western mining company headquartered in South Africa, is one of the giants in the international mining industry, and the source of funds behind it is mainly several old British and American consortiums.
“... Unfortunately, we have no proof. ”
Brown is suppressing his anger, the ignorance and greed of the warlords, the conflicts of interest behind the large groups... Anything is possible!
The riverbed mining area stretches for tens of kilometres, with a total area of probably more than 1,000 square kilometres, and the diamond reserves are likely to be staggering.
And just two weeks ago: it took only seven days to find four oversized high-grade diamonds, weighing 90.32 carats, 27.35 carats, 21.16 carats, and 11.05 carats, in a small artificially excavated pond (semi-experimental mining) that had been tentatively mined!
Not only the major, but also the color and clarity grades are extremely high!
As a result, it was not until today that the news of the killing of the company's personnel came out, and Brown knew that the boss was at home on Long Island, and thought that such a major event needed to be stated in person, and this came.
Guan Xingquan, who was on the side, glanced at Zhang Nan, and then actually took out a silver coin from his pocket and began to roll it on the back of his hand, or turned over his left hand with his right hand.
Boss Guan was controlling his emotions, and Zhang Nan saw his actions, so he asked Brown: "What about the other prospecting team?"
"Abandoned the equipment, it had been safely withdrawn to Sorimu a few hours earlier, and the branch in Botswana had already sent planes to pick up people. ”
Zhang Nan nodded slightly, and said to Brown again: "It doesn't matter if there is evidence or not, my ancestor told me that in many cases, suspicion alone is enough.
Those small warlords of the Angolan bun armed faction dare to kill the people of our company, no matter what it is for, use actions to find out the reason and what is behind it!
And tell the world that they're done!
Whoever they are!"
The Angolan civil war is temporarily over, the Cuban volunteers are gone, and the South African army has also withdrawn.
Seeing the money, are you used to killing people?
Thinking that the emperor is far away, others can't help them?
A bunch of idiots are used to being the king and hegemon in black Africa, and they may really not know what it means to be a tiger's ass that can't be touched!
"Thomas, Brother Guan, this matter will be handled by you and Brown, now the eyes of the whole world are focused on the Soviet Union and the Balkans, no one cares how many people die in Africa, you can do whatever you want!"
The three of them nodded, hearing the boss's decision, this Brown was enthusiastic, Thomas first said to make a phone call and instruct the people below to implement the East German Taobao strategy, and immediately discussed with Guan Xingquan to deploy and solve the problem in Angola.
As for Guan Xingquan, after being expressionless for a while, he said to Zhang Nan: "I'm going to Africa, if you want to call the squad leader here, there can't be fewer people here, I'm worried about the tricks of the people behind this matter, as well as Mao Zina." ”
Zhang Nan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to Africa too, and I'll stay in Botswana to watch you perform." ”
The five Botswana workers and the four security guards are all Tswarians, and if they knew this, Mr. Tuwang of the Tswa would probably be furious, and it would not be necessary to start a traditional tribal war!
After several years of cooperation, the Tswa tribe has a strong armed strength, and tens of thousands of tribal warriors can be recruited according to African standards, and they are still absolutely well-equipped and well-trained in Africa!
Moreover, in order to build the Tswa tribe area into his own solid and reliable territory, Zhang Nan not only took the initiative to divide the interests of some diamond mines, but also helped the Tswa people to explore and cooperate in the mining of copper, nickel and coal resources, and the Tswa tribe has long become a solid community of interests.
In order to make it easier to get around Africa, some of the company's trained Tswa fighters have joined the United Force as security contractors, and now there are almost 2,000 people.
It is not a "professional mercenary who is on duty all year round", but rotates for half a year to work, train, and semi-standing army, although the salary paid is not much, but it is also considered a high income in the local area, and both sides are very calculated.
These Tswa mercenaries not only have certain combat skills of the Chinese and American Army, but also are 100% fearless of death if they really fight for the company, Zhang Nan wants them to obey orders It is natural: many of their commanders are their instructors, and Zhang Nan is the official chief of the tribe, absolutely his own people!
Mr. Mothhari, the king of the earth, joked that if Mr. Allen could have another beautiful Tswa as his wife, no one would pay attention to his complexion anymore.
In this regard, Zhang Nan can't say that he can't avoid it, this Tswa people are not as black as carbon heads, and their appearance is not the kind of "black Africa" that makes Chinese people run away at a glance, but they are plump as beauty, not to mention the face, the figure will make Zhang Nan think of those murals of ladies in the tombs of the Tang Dynasty!
It's decided, and it's time to act.
