Chapter 849: Four Million, Still Dollars!
As the tank was speeding away, Rear Admiral Slender Takashi recounted the benefits of the new tank from his memory, and only heard him say: "This tank has taken a new material. This material is less dense and yet much stronger than homogeneous steel plates. In other words, with the same generous steel plates, the armor capacity of the new tank is 1.5 times that of the main battle tank. ”
Tang Shao continued: "Because the new tank adopts new materials, the engine and other equipment are much lighter and smaller than the original. The manufacturer used a part of the free weight and space to thicken the armor. Taken together, the safety of the new tank has increased a lot. If the main armor plate of our main battle tank is equivalent to 650 mm of homogeneous steel plate, then the main armor plate of the new tank is equivalent to 1030 mm!"
The dark-skinned Major General Liao and the chief of staff were surprised and asked, "Is there really such a thick armor?"
Major General Tang said: "Yes, it is so thick. Today's tank guns and portable anti-tank missiles cannot penetrate the main armor of such tanks. Even the bottom and top are difficult to penetrate. ”
The chief of staff sighed: "If so, then the survivability of this tank is too strong." Coupled with its large fuel tank and low fuel consumption, its speed makes it several times more survivable than our main battle tank. …… , No, Division Commander Liao, we must equip this tank. ”
Major General Tang next to him said with a smile: "Just now, your division commander Liao said that you don't want this kind of tank, you must have the original battle tank." ”
Senior Liao's face turned red and said, "Old Tang, don't laugh at me. Who knew that our country would still be able to produce such a good tank?...... What are its characteristics in terms of survival?"
"This tank can stay in water no more than eight meters deep for an hour and in a toxic environment for more than ten hours," said Major General Tang. Do you see, the window on your right hand is a vent for compressed air, which automatically sprays clean air when the car is isolated from the outside world, and the air in the car is not oxygenated enough or the carbon dioxide is too high for the occupants to breathe. Of course, you can also open the spout manually to let the compressed air inside spray out. ”
……
After Major General Tang and Major General Liao each drove around, they came out unsatisfied and handed them over to the professional testers.
As you can see from the look on their faces, they are very happy with the new tank.
The old general turned to Jiang Xinwei and said, "You tell them to fire a few cannons for Lao Tzu to see." Don't be a donkey dung and eggs, you can only run away and can't shoot. ”
Jiang Xinxu smiled and turned his head to look at Zhang Huan.
Zhang Huan picked up the wireless communication walkie-talkie and issued an order to the microphone: "Conduct the second major test item!"
Soon, each of the two tanks emitted a faint puff of green smoke, and the huge body drove forward, and the thick barrel pointed straight ahead began to turn. Five kilometres away, on the hillside, there are fixed targets marked with lime, or circles or squares, only four square meters in size.
The first car crashed down the test track into a puddle of water, then lightly emerged from the puddle and climbed up a dirt slope of about 40 degrees.
Major General Liao picked up the microphone and ordered loudly: "Car No. 1, target No. 7, shoot while on the move! Target No. 1, shoot while on the move...... , No. 2 car, No. 3 target, shooting on the move!!Target No. 8, shooting on the go!"
His command was played on the loudspeakers on the viewing platform, and everyone on the viewing platform picked up their binoculars and looked into the distance to find the location of Target Seven.
Car No. 1 rushed out of the puddle with muddy water flowing from its body and was climbing up the slope.
But everyone saw that its barrel was rotating, and the muzzle was raised, faintly pointing in the direction of the No. 7 target.
"Boom!" Before the sound of the cannon being discharged, everyone had already seen the huge turret vibrate violently in the back, the whole body shook a little, a faint smoke came out of the barrel exit, and the four-meter-square square target position marked with the huge Arabic numeral 7 five kilometers away quickly splashed up.
After firing this shot, Tank No. 1 did not stop, but quickly turned its barrel and pointed at the No. 1 target, which was farther away and in a completely different direction from the No. 7 target, and wrote a large 1 in lime in a circle.
After a loud bang, the word 1 was blown to pieces.
When the No. 1 car was powerful, the No. 2 car also blew off the No. 3 target and the No. 8 target in the process of driving!
……
The tank fired four shots and four hits in the process, and all the soldiers who were familiar with the tank were stopped at once, and they looked at each other one by one.
The old general was so happy that he yelled at Jiang Xinwei: "Little baby, yes, yes, you guys are really good! Production, production immediately, equip the troops as soon as possible!"
At this time, he seemed to forget that the tank test is not so simple, it is definitely not a few laps, a few guns, it looks good, even if it is qualified, it is not ready to be produced, it also needs a set of strict procedures, and it also needs the approval of many departments. With the approval, finalization, and numbering, it can be officially produced.
Jiang Xinwei immediately said, "Okay." We produce it right away. But ......"
The old general said happily: "But what? Little baby, do you want to reap the benefits? You say, as long as your request is not excessive, I will answer you!"
Jiang Xinxu said: "My request is definitely not excessive. Old general, for the sake of your enthusiastic army equipment, I will give you a preferential price and sell you a car for four million dollars. ”
The old general's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Boy, what are you talking about?
Zhang Huan and others were also dumbfounded: This price is too expensive, isn't it? Four million, or dollars?
Jiang Xinwei said: "It's very reasonable, four million dollars a car." If I sell it to a foreign country, my offer is 12 million dollars!"
"Fart!" the old general slapped and scolded wildly, "Boy, have you gotten into the eye of money? Four million dollars, four million yuan is impossible! Boy, do you know how much four million dollars is? Why don't you go and rob the bank?"
Jiang Xinwei said unhurriedly: "I know." The official price is now 8.3 to the dollar, but the black market seems to be 8.5 to the dollar. Four million US dollars can be officially exchanged for 33.2 million yuan. For the sake of all Chinese people, I will only accept 33 million yuan from you. ”
The old general's face turned black and red with anger, and he pointed at Jiang Xinwei and said, "You...... You...... You ......"
Jiang Xinwei hurriedly said: "Old general, you won't be so stingy, right? I sold it abroad for 12 million dollars." ”
The major general surnamed Liao sneered: "Jiang Dong, don't you know that the most expensive tank in the world is the German Leopard 2, which is only 20 million dollars a piece, how can you offer such a high price for this tank?"
Jiang Xinwei sneered: "Germany's Leopard 2 can be sold for 20 million US dollars, why can't ours be sold for 12 million US dollars." Excuse me, where are our tanks worse than theirs?"
