Chapter 0394 - Rooftop Comparison Gun
The rooftop of the Moscow International Exhibition and Convention Center was so crowded that security personnel had to cut off access to the rooftop and not allow anyone to go up again.
The challenge had not yet begun, but Sharé had already transferred 20 million euros to the account of the Moscow International Exhibition and Convention Center by bank transfer, and Chekov became the notary of the challenge. Fifty thousand euros, that's enough for him to do these things.
Tang Yuyan handed the engineering plastic box containing two sniper rifles to Xia Lei's hand, and Xia Lei opened the box and loaded the gun, and his movements were skillful. Quite a few reporters took pictures of him, and these photos would later appear in media outlets around the world.
Snipers assigned by Barrett, HK and FN are also in place. Executives from three companies also came to the rooftop, and the three executives were eager to see the strength of the XL2500 sniper rifle, but they didn't think that a Chinese company could make a sniper rifle that was any better.
"Mr. Xia, is this how it begins?" Ilriva, an executive of the Belgian FN company, walked up to Xia Lei and looked at Xia Lei with strange eyes.
Xia Lei was very kind, "Ms. Illiva, I think it's okay, Mr. Chekov has prepared the target for us, and on the rooftops of several buildings opposite, we can start at any time." ”
At this time, Chekov took the walkie-talkie and said: "Put up all the targets." ”
Soon, a target was erected on a building opposite the Moscow International President's Center, almost 800 meters away in a straight line. There is a ring of glowing LED lights on the target, which can be seen from a distance.
"What are you kidding?" Joe Barton, an executive at Barrett's company, laughed disdainfully: "A target at such a distance, even our company's products ten years ago can easily hit, you won't use that target to test the performance of our sniper rifles, right?"
Müllerf, an executive from the German company HK, also said: "Yes, if we all hit the target, how do we determine who wins?"
Xia Lei said with a smile: "What you see is only one of the targets, I took into account the performance of your sniper rifle, so I set up a target at a distance of 800 meters, I actually don't need it, I want to hit the target at 2,500 meters, and the target at 3,200 meters." ”
The faces of the executives of the three arms giants suddenly changed.
Xia Lei added: "The target further away is also on the roof of the building, but you need a professional sniper scope to see it. ”
The three executives then picked up their company's state-of-the-art observation equipment to take a look, and sure enough, all three executives saw the target in the distance. Those targets are 1,500 meters away, there are 2,000 meters away, and there are also 2,500 meters and 3,200 meters away as Xia Lei said.
On the other hand, Chekov also invited some media reporters to look at the target farther away through an astronomical telescope set up on the rooftop. Those targets also have glowing LED coils on them, which are easy to spot.
Some military enthusiasts also saw the farthest target through the astronomical telescope, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Oh my God, a sniper shot from such a distance, even a bullet will fly for three or four seconds, and if it can hit, it is a myth!"
"It's probably impossible to do it, this Chinese man is very full, he has erected so many targets, and there are all kinds of distances. As long as he hits the target hit by other companies, he doesn't lose. ”
"It must be like this, who will give away 20 million euros for nothing?"
"Ahh ”
"You dream, this is a challenge between arms companies, and private individuals are not eligible to participate. ”
"That is, what good is it for someone to win you? If that Chinese man can win against Barrett, I am afraid that the supremacy of the sniper rifle will have to change owners. ”
These comments fell on the ears of Barrett executive Joe Barton, which was simply a provocation, a kind of irony.
"Mr. Xia. Joe Barton said: "We need to sign an agreement before we start, and if you lose, you have to pay the winner 20 million euros. Also, if you lose, you have to leave here and end the exhibition of any company early. ”
Ilriva, an executive at the Belgian company FN, also said: "Yes, this article must be added, such a farce should end early." ”
It was an unfair deal, and if Charley lost, he would not only have to pay 20 million euros, but also end the exhibition at the Reima Arsenal early, but Barrett, FN and HK would have nothing to lose.
As soon as the agreement was proposed, the reporters talked about it and felt that it was unfair.
But just when everyone thought that Xia Lei would refuse, Xia Lei smiled and said very happily: "No problem, I can sign such an agreement." ”
Chekov then asked his men to draw up the agreement, print out four copies of the participation, and send them to the rooftop. During this process, the snipers of Barrett, FN and HK are also preparing, observing the wind speed, light and distance, and adjusting their sniper rifles.
Chaley signed the agreement, and Chobbardton, Mulloff and Illiva also signed the agreement.
The challenge then moves on to the final stages of preparation.
The crowd of onlookers suddenly surged, and the crowd watching the battle was squeezed out of a passage alive. Several security guards walked to the arena surrounded by a tall blonde woman and a man carrying a camera. The woman holds a microphone with the logo of Russian state television on it.
Russian state television is the largest television station in Russia that covers the entire Russian Federation and has extremely high ratings. The appearance of people from Russian state television here was simply an unexpected surprise for Charé.
As soon as the amazing hostess appeared on the stage, she entered the working state, holding the microphone and talking to the camera, "Hello audience friends, I am Natalia, and I am now at the Moscow International Exhibition and Convention Center. It is reported that a new Chinese arms company has openly challenged the authority of Western arms giants in the world of light weapons, and it is reported that the Huaguo company, called the Reimaa Arsenal, has invested 20 million euros, and if it fails, he will pay 20 million euros to the winning side. This is a huge amount of money, and it will be interesting to see who will receive the hefty 20 million euros prize from Barrett, FN and HK, all three of whom are the giants of the world of light weapons......
Apparently, Natalia, a beautiful presenter from Russian state television, is also not optimistic about Xia Lei's victory. After all, he is challenging the international arms giants, who have been dominating the field for decades, while his Reima military factory is a small and unknown new company.
"Can we begin?" said Joe Barton, who had lost his patience, "this farce has been going on long enough. ”
Xia Lei smiled faintly, "Then let's start, you guys come first, so the target, you can all shoot." Your snipers and your sniper rifles have come to fruition, and I'll shoot again to show you what our company's XL2500 is capable of. ”
Joe Barton snorted, then motioned for Barrett's sniper to shoot.
Barrett's snipers adjusted their posture, locked onto the target, opened fire, and directly hit the target at a distance of 800 meters, and hit the nine rings. This is a very remarkable achievement.
There was a round of applause on the rooftop, not only praising the strength of Barrett's snipers, but also the excellent performance of Barrett's sniper rifles.
The snipers of FN and HK also completed the shooting, FN hit the eight rings of the target at a distance of 800 meters, and the snipers of HK actually hit the ten rings of the 800-meter target. The result brought a smile to the face of the executive of the German company HK, Müllerf, who seemed confident that he would pocket the 20 million euros.
"It's your turn. Muller glanced at Xia Lei confidently, "Mr. Xia, you can also admit defeat directly and save yourself from unnecessary laughter." ”
Xia Lei was not angry at all, and still maintained a gentle smile on his face, "Mr. Mullef, I said that I will shoot when your snipers and sniper rifles get the best results." Please go ahead and let your snipers fight as far as they can. ”
In this tone, I simply didn't take the three arms giants into account!
Muller didn't bother to engage in a verbal fight with Charleigh, and motioned for the snipers of the HK company to continue shooting.
Bang bang bang......
Snipers from the three arms giants fired in succession, firing at targets farther away.
From time to time, the rooftop erupted in applause and admiration, and the scene was very lively.
At this time, Xia Lei, who should have been nervous, stood on the rooftop and was interviewed by Natalia.
"Mr. Xia, why are you doing such a thing, can you tell me the reason?" Natalia stood next to Xia Lei, and after speaking, she put the microphone in front of Xia Lei.
Xia Lei smiled, very natural, "I took out 20 million euros to send out a challenge, just to prove to everyone that made in China does not mean socks and shirts, our manufacturing industry has a new development, and our level is not worse than that of the West." Take our company's XL2500 sniper rifle, I dare say it's the best sniper rifle in the world, and no one can beat it. ”
"Wow, Mr. Xia, I didn't expect you to speak Russian so well. Natalia smiled charmingly, "By the way, other companies have professional snipers, but I haven't seen such a person in your company, wait a minute, who will shoot?"
"It's me, I'm a sniper myself, I'm an amateur, but I'm confident that I can shoot well. Xia Lei said.
"Amateurs? Oh my God, those three companies are professional snipers. ”
Xia Lei said seriously: "It's nothing, our gun is good, it can make up for my gap in technology." ”
Tang Yuyan, who was standing next to Xia Lei, couldn't help but want to kick Xia Lei, he was an amateur sniper, so is there a professional sniper in this world? Thinking of Xia Lei's past in Afghanistan, when she singled out a US special forces team with one gun and one gun, her face was full of shame.
At this moment, an exclamation suddenly broke out on the rooftop, and it turned out that the snipers of Barrett Company and the German Company HK Company had hit the target at a distance of 2,000 meters one after another, and both of them hit the five rings.
"Looks like we're going to have to split the prize money evenly. Mullover said to Joe Barton with a smile.
Joe Barton smiled too, and he could accept the result.
"Mr. Xia, you can make a move. Ilriva, an executive at the Belgian company FN, spoke up.
