661 Unexpected Surprise Weapons Harvest on the African Trip
"How do you solve the problem of capital needs?" On the way back, the relationship between Lao Fang and Tan Lin was not so hostile.
Once Xie Kai's plan is successful, there will be too many businesses in Africa.
And they are all lucrative investments, but the returns are too slow.
Tan Lin, Lao Fang and others all knew that there was no need for them to compete at all, and many of the contracts that Xie Kai won, as long as they had enough money, they could participate and get rich returns.
All they need to do now is raise money!
But Xie Kai proposed to help the Burundian government provide an interest-free loan of 300 million US dollars for the construction of a feed mill and fertilizer plant in Burundi, as well as the construction of a power station supporting the mining and smelting plant of Kabanga nickel ore.
The loan is for a period of five years.
The guarantee is the credibility of the Government of Burundi.
The Burundian government has a fart guarantee! God knows what Xie Kai thinks, if he can know Xie Kai's method of making money, especially foreign exchange, Tan Lin and Lao Fang would like to learn and learn.
"Mountain people have their own tricks. Xie Kai said with an unfathomable expression.
Xie Kai only had a preliminary idea, and he didn't know if it could be realized.
He is also worried that if Burundi wants to do well, it will not be able to do it without throwing money at it.
And it is necessary to prevent the overthrow of Bagaza's regime.
"You're not going to Shenshi?" The plane landed at the 404 airfield in Qilian Mountain, where the Black Hawk helicopter of the garrison brigade was already waiting.
The purpose of the Black Hawk helicopter was to transport a few people out of the base, and they didn't even know what the surrounding environment was like.
Yun Shi was not at the base airport, otherwise he would have thrown them out with Yun Shi, so that the old party did not know the specific location of 404 at all.
"Today is August 22nd, and school is about to start......" Xie Kai's words made several people lose their minds suddenly.
Only then did I remember that Xie Kaicai graduated from high school.
"Which school do you go to?" the old party was interested. "If you are in the capital, my brother will definitely treat you well. ”
"Fudan over there in Shanghai is the first in the country, so I must have gone there. Tan Lin said.
Mao Wenfeng nodded hurriedly, "That's it, that's it, this year's Fudan admission score is the first in the country." ”
"National Defense Science and Technology University?" Sister Tao asked Xie Kai, "I have a lot of sisters over there, and I can introduce you to a girlfriend when the time comes." ”
Xie Kai was silent with a smile on his face.
The Black Hawk helicopter propeller kept spinning, just waiting for a few people on the side.
"Let's go, the helicopter is running out of fuel!" Xie Kai urged a few people to get on the helicopter.
Zheng Yucheng returned to the base early, and Wang Guilin and Wang Guilin had been watching from the side, and they didn't come up, and Xie Kai didn't mean to introduce Lao Fang, Tan Lin and others to them.
"Boy, how is Africa doing this time?" Zheng Yucheng asked impatiently.
Xie Kai said with a smile, "Uncle Zheng, this time I went, not only did I get a lot of business, but also unexpected gains. It's all on the plane. ”
After saying that, he asked someone to get down the things brought back from the belly of the Il-76.
"This is the good thing you are talking about? At first glance, it is a backward thing that has been eliminated, our 359 tanks have come out, what do you want these things for?" Looking at the AMX-30 and M48 tanks that came out of the belly of the Il-76, Zheng Yucheng looked disdainful.
For him, 359 tanks are all available, and these backward things are all scum that died with one shot.
When you get it back, it's useless at all.
When the plane is brought back, the plane fuel is also wasted.
"Yes, Xie Kai, what are you doing with these things back?" Wang Guilin was not as direct as Zheng Yucheng, but he also felt that Xie Kai had no need to get these things back.
The American M48 was a medium tank of the US Army that began to be equipped in the fifties during the Cold War.
In 1956, when the Hungarian Revolution @ died, the British embassy was given a golden opportunity to inspect the T54 tank and get the actual vehicle situation of this Soviet main battle tank.
According to intelligence, the thickness of the armor of the T-54 reached 200 mm homogeneous steel plates, and it had a 100 mm caliber gun.
The M48, which is still in mass production, is equipped with a 90 mm caliber gun that is equipped with armor-piercing shells to penetrate the armor of the T-54 even if it uses armor-piercing shells, so that the emergence of the M60 fourth-generation Patton has emerged.
Now Xie Kai got this thing back, isn't it a waste?
Useless stuff.
"I said two, I have worked so hard to bring it back, and there is no merit and hard work, isn't it? There is no verbal reward, who will have the heart to do such a thing in the future?" Xie Kai said with a smile.
I don't care about the contempt of the two of them.
Compared with the M48 and the T-54, there is indeed a gap.
The domestic Type 59 main battle tank is an imitation of the Soviet T-54A, which is much more advanced than the M48. At least in terms of armor thickness and gun caliber, and even weight and mobility, it is much stronger.
"This thing, it really doesn't make sense. Zheng Yucheng shook his head. "Even the tanks of the French, even if they are fast and have a stronger caliber of artillery, are something that kills with one shot, and the armored defense is too weak. ”
"Hey, Lao Zheng, have you become a tank expert?" Xie Kai was a little surprised.
When did Zheng Yucheng understand the performance of tanks in various countries so clearly?
If you don't know Zheng Yucheng, Xie Kai doesn't have such an idea.
"Experts can't talk about it. The main thing that our unit develops and produces is tanks, and if we don't know some about the performance of tanks in various countries, can we do it?" Zheng Yucheng said proudly.
The demeanor is clearly a tank expert.
"Do you know what are the advantages of the AMX-60 tank compared to tanks of the same model?" Xie Kai asked with a smile.
Zheng Yucheng must have worked this.
The Soviet T-80, the German Leopard-2, the American M1 and these new generation main battle tanks, due to intelligence reasons, the old guys may not know much, but for tanks that have been equipped for a long time and have been lagging behind, it is completely clear.
"The kid is terrible, dare to test Lao Tzu! The French AMX-30, compared with the same model, is much stronger in terms of mechanical power and artillery caliber. This thing, the product of the French in the fifties, who valued firepower and mobility and neglected protection, was armed with a 105 mm rifled gun with a 720 hp diesel engine and a total weight of 36 tons, which was about the same as our 59. It has relatively strong long-range firepower and strong maneuverability, and the maximum highway speed is 65 kilometers per hour......" Zheng Yucheng is even more proud. "But this thing's armor defense is weak, and in the face of our 59 tanks, it's just a shot to death. ”
Without strong defensive capabilities, it is simply not possible to have high mobility and long-range firepower.
59 tanks can be destroyed with one shot, not to mention the current 359 tanks.
"You have the idea to hit this tank engine?" Wang Guilin felt, understanding Xie Kai's thoughts.
When Zheng Yucheng heard this, he came to his senses, "This is good." The Frenchman's AMX-30 is also equipped with a 12-cylinder water-cooled multi-fuel turbocharged engine on the tank, which can also run well in an environment of 60°C, and the fuel economy is very good, which is suitable for our national conditions. However, our domestic 12150ZL V-type 12-cylinder water-cooled exhaust gas turbocharged diesel engine ......"
"Lao Zheng, you have really become a tank expert!" Xie Kai didn't expect that Zheng Yucheng would have such a thorough understanding of the performance of French tanks.
Zheng Yucheng raised his neck.
Wang Guilin saw him and said with a smile, "When we were engaged in the 359 tank, he was ridiculed by the people of the 617 and 541 units, and then he became interested in them. ”
"Let's go back first. This thing is of great use to us, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it back. Xie Kai sold Guanzi.
In this way, Zheng Yucheng quit.
He did not know what use the backward French tanks were for China.
The 359 tank is already fighting on the battlefield.
The design of the French, with significant flaws.
In the early stage of World War II, the French tanks only focused on defense, ignoring the attack firepower and mobility of the tanks, and as a result, they became targets and were easily solved by the Germans.
After suffering such a big loss in World War II, it is natural to learn from experience.
As a result, the French began to pay attention to firepower and mobility, and did not pay much attention to defensive capabilities, after all, tanks are used to attack, and the best defense is to attack, what defense capability do you want?
As a result, the AMX-30 appeared, and about 4,000 more units were produced, equipping the Allies with countries in the Middle East and even South America.
Zheng Yucheng didn't know what else could be taken seriously about this tank.
"Whether it is the power system, the fire control system, or even the three-defense device and weapon system, it is worth our study. Xie Kai said. "Although the 359 tank was successfully developed, this does not mean that we are leading in technology in an all-round way. This is the technology of the French in the 60s!"
There is a gap, and it cannot be denied.
Zheng Yucheng was silent for a moment.
Xie Kai is telling the truth.
China's time to develop tanks is too short, and it has little experience in large-scale tank cluster operations.
"Then what are you doing with the M48 coming back?"
"Lao Zheng, do you think that if two tanks are in good condition, the Il-76 can be transported in one shipment? With a load capacity of 40 tons, there will not be much left to transport one AMX-30. Xie Kai said.
The Il-76 has a transport capacity of just 40 tons.
The French AMX-30 weighs 36 tons, and the M48 weighs 49.6 tons.
The transport capacity of the Il-76 is not even a single M48.
"This ......"
Zheng Yucheng really didn't pay attention to this problem.
"Armor, etc., all removed. I'm just making the tank actionable, and most of the unimportant things are dismantled. Xie Kai said with a smile. "Anyway, if you ship it back in advance, you just need to have research samples. The whole physical object, still at sea. ”
When the two of them took a closer look, they realized that the turret was made of wood!
I don't think it's a problem from a distance, but I can only shake my head and sigh when I look closely.
The workmanship is too poor!
"Although the M48 is backward, this thing is fifty tons! If we want to build a heavy tank, we can't help but study this thing. Xie Kai sighed.
Domestically, in the field of tank design, there is too little experience.
It was not until the Type 99 main battle tank came out that the weight exceeded 50 tons, and compared with the same type of tanks in the world, the Type 99 main battle tank did not lag behind in all performances, but the weight was more than ten tons lighter.
After the later models of the M1A1, the weight reached 65 tons.
If the Type 99 main battle tank can also achieve such a weight, it will have higher defensive capabilities, be equipped with more additional equipment, and improve combat capability and battlefield survivability.
Of course, this is just Xie Kai's idea.
Whether it is suitable or not is up to the one-armed chief engineer to decide.
Even if it is not suitable, it can be used as a reserve for basic technology.
"Just these two things?" Wang Guilin heard Xie Kai's explanation, it was indeed worth studying.
Just two tanks is not a good thing.
Xie Kai opened a long wooden box, revealing two bazookas.
"American production, M72A2 individual anti-tank rocket launcher. This time, in the counterinsurgency war in Burundi, this rocket launcher made a great contribution. Xie Kai said how to obtain this anti-tank rocket launcher and the combat effect, and then said, "There is no need to imitate, but after digesting the technology and integrating the technology of the domestic rocket launcher, it is very likely to come up with something more advanced." ”
"What's in this box?" Wang Guilin was not interested in the bazooka.
Zheng Yucheng didn't bother to watch it.
Bazooka fights tanks, and you have the ability to kill a few 359 tanks with thick skin and thick flesh to try?
Is it so easy for light infantry to pack tanks without anti-tank rockets?
"That's an absolute good thing. "Compared with tanks and bazookas, the contents of this box are what Xie Kai attaches importance to. 、
"Gun?" When the box was revealed, Zheng Yucheng was disappointed.
Even Wang Guilin felt a little disappointed.
What Xie Kai took out was worse than the same.
Actually treat a gun as a treasure!
It's really hard to get good things in Africa.
"Don't underestimate this gun, with the current domestic technology, it can't be imitated at all. It's hard to see even on the market, look at this barrel, how thick it is!" Xie Kai didn't look down on the two of them.
Bartley heavy sniper rifle, which has not yet made a public appearance on the international market.
This is still something captured by Liu Yue's team to kill Bruce's reconnaissance team.
Originally, everyone didn't take it seriously, but the dead cat felt that the caliber of this gun was very powerful, picked it up, let Xie Kai see it, flickered for a while, and almost stabbed him chrysanthemum, so that the goods gave the gun to Xie Kai.
Inside the magazine, there were only 10 rounds.
"Anti-materiel sniper rifle for anti-materiel assault and explosive ordnance disposal...... The effective firing range reached 1500 meters, neither the high-precision sight above, nor the design and production of the entire gun, which we can achieve at the moment. Xie Kai introduced the Bartley sniper rifle.
At the moment, this large-caliber heavy sniper rifle has not yet become famous.
If it weren't for understanding, Xie Kai wouldn't have thought it was a good thing.
Bartlet's new product was apparently offered to mercenary organizations affiliated with the CIA for combat testing.
As a result, Xie Kai got it.
"If we succeed in copying it, it can be used for export, even if it is not provided to the troops. This gun can effectively destroy targets such as radar stations, trucks, parked fighter jets...... "Xie Kai explained.
"Didn't you hit someone?" Zheng Yucheng looked surprised. "It's not a beating, what are you doing it for?"
Domestic professional sniper rifles, or starting with 79 snipers.
It was nothing more than an emergency for copying the Soviet SVD sniper rifle.
It was not at all expected that this gun was offered to special operations forces and was intended exclusively for counter-materiel.
