Two large silver-gray missile boats with colorful flags flying. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

100 Somali naval officers and sailors, led by Lieutenant Commander Lieutenant Colonel Gedi, stood on a small deck and waited for the simplicity of their superiors and nationals.

Although these are only two missile boats of less than 500 tons, it is a turning point for Somalia to become a modern naval nation.

To the cheers of thousands of people, President Yusuf and Chief of Staff Hussein boarded the S01 missile boat. In the solemn ceremony, Rear Admiral Hussein, Chief of the General Staff of the Somali Defence Forces, on behalf of the National Defense Commission, officially announced that Lieutenant Colonel Ingadi had successfully completed the task entrusted by the state, brought the two ships of the Somali Navy back to China safely, and promoted Lieutenant Colonel Gedi to colonel and appointed him as acting commander of the Navy in accordance with the latest resolution of the Somali National Defense Council.

Later, 100 naval officers and sailors were awarded, and these 100 naval officers and sailors will be the first batch of cadets of the naval branch of the Somali Military Academy to enter two experimental classes for one-year training.

After Rear Admiral Hussein's speech, President Yusuf announced into the microphone to several thousand people that the Somali Navy's first Shore Guard was established, with two large Swordfish-class missile boats stationed in the port of Kiniboyan, and the commander of the Navy was temporarily Acting Commander Colonel Gedi.

As the welcoming ceremony ended, most of the Somalis dispersed, but many citizens still lingered around, occasionally looking eagerly at the two Somali-flagged missile boats parked on the pier.

Li Mo and his entourage also left the dock with the flow of people and went to the Gold Coast, where they had a vacation with the four girls last time.

After spending the night in Mogadishu, Li Mo received a call from an expert, then said goodbye to the women and returned to the industrial park in Badada Town.

"Boss, the silicon-uranium alloy production line has been installed, and after commissioning, the entire production line has the ability to start construction." Experts accompanied Li Mo to inspect the work in a factory named 'Xingchen Special Alloy Factory' in the industrial park.

"What about the workers? Ready to get started? Li Mo asked with a calm face.

"The whole production line needs 200 workers, and in recent years, we have trained ourselves and recruited externally, and the entire industrial park has a large number of qualified technical workers. At present, all these workers have arrived, just waiting for the production line to start. ”

"Good!" Li Mo praised with satisfaction, "Since everything is ready, let's start work." However, experts, raw materials should be prepared sufficiently, although there is only one production line for the time being, but you also know the use of silicon-uranium alloy, don't be unable to continue to work due to insufficient raw materials. ”

"Rest assured, boss. We have already prepared a part of the raw materials, which is enough for the machine to run non-stop for three months, and our production department has coordinated with the expert group to ensure the supply of raw materials. The expert assured.

Li Mo smiled and nodded, and with an order, a skilled worker came to his post, and when Li Mo pulled up the electric switch, the huge factory began to sound with a low roar of the machine.

Three days later, the first batch of uranium silicon alloys produced were all qualified after rigorous testing. Li Moming experts made the first batch of two-ton alloy into various parts according to the needs of the R&D center, and transported them to the R&D center, where the first new tank TSY01 was assembled.

A week later, Li Mo finally received the good news that the first TSY new tank test vehicle was finally assembled under the public relations of experts from the four countries. An invitation letter from the tank research and development team invited Li Mo to participate in several experiments on the new tank.

Li Mo took Shishi, Luo Xiang and others to the Weapon Experiment Center in the Industrial Park of Badada Town. This experimental center was built in order to test some tank data, especially in the former small arms test site. Of course, the funds for the construction were allocated from a special account of the tank research and development team. After Li Mo received this application, he agreed without thinking about it. Where can I find such a good thing when someone else spends money to repair a weapons test center?

On this day, the industrial park in Badada town has been drenched under martial law, and the perimeter is defended by an infantry regiment of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade stationed nearby, and the second line of defense is established by the industrial park guard troops on the inner layer.

On the edge of the grounds of the weapons test center, a temporary grandstand was erected, and large parasols were set up to block the direct rays of the sun. When Li Mo arrived, a considerable number of people had already gathered here.

Every single one of the people who can be here at this time has undergone a series of close inspections. Either the senior management of the Xingchen Group, or the main leaders of the industrial park, and the rest are the representatives of the R&D Center of the Political Axe Military of the Four Nations and the ambassadors of the three countries to Somalia.

Li Mo said hello to some people and summoned experts.

"Hey, boss, I know what you're asking, but I don't know the last name of the new tank. I asked He Ping's kid, but he actually said that he wanted to keep it secret, and everyone would know when the time came. The expert said with a smile. Although he complained about He Ping, his eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't look angry at all.

Li Mo was stunned and asked in surprise, "Since you want to keep it secret, what is today's test?" ”

"I know this, mainly to reassure everyone, when the time comes, drive the tank out and take a look. The rest may not be known until a series of rigorous environmental monitoring is required. ”

Li Mo nodded thoughtfully, now that a test vehicle has been manufactured, the second and third test vehicles are being assembled intensively, and then several tanks will be subjected to various complex environmental experiments.

In particular, the four countries participating in the study have different geographical locations and different climates. Only after the new tank has been subjected to various tests can some minor changes be made to the tanks purchased by different countries according to the specific operational requirements.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, under the expectant eyes of dozens of people, a gray tank drove out of the warehouse, and everyone, including Li Mo, stared at the test vehicle with an eager and nervous gaze.

In the driver's skillful manipulation, the gray tank crossed the obstacle at a 90-degree angle of 0.8 meters high, crossed a 1-meter-deep and 2-meter-wide water channel, and roared back and forth in several rugged and complicated road conditions, emitting black smoke.

Because of the size of the site, the tank gun was only static, and the first shot accurately hit a homogeneous steel plate a kilometer away.

Although the experiment lasted only ten minutes, it was as long as hours for everyone.

Because this is no longer as simple as a tank, but a new weapon developed by integrating the knowledge of the relevant elites of the four countries and the latest alloy armor, it represents the condensation and integration of the science and technology of the four countries.

Although the experiment was over, some of them did not leave, and Li Mo arrived at a secret conference room with the ambassadors of the three countries and an official from the Somali Ministry of Defense.

Representatives of the four countries in the R&D center, He Ping, deputy head of the tank research and development team, Li Mo, and representatives of the political axes of the four countries all gathered together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is an exciting day, a day of condensation and crystallization of the efforts of countless elites of Shikoku, and in just three months, we have completed a miracle and developed a new tank that is at the leading level in the world......"

As He Ping, the deputy leader of the meeting, finished speaking, there was a round of applause in the conference room.

In modern times, although the role of tanks has been ignored by some local wars, its role has never been ignored by various countries. Today, when air fighters are becoming more and more advanced and various missiles are becoming more and more accurate and intelligent, tanks, as the king of land warfare, are still not eliminated, but more attention-grabbing.

This is because people live on land after all, and the decisive factor in the final victory or defeat of a war is definitely on land.

No matter how advanced the aircraft and how accurate the missiles are, they can only destroy the enemy, but cannot capture the enemy, let alone occupy the enemy's territory, nor plunder the enemy's resources.

Only a country's foreign wars, which are also strong on land, can guarantee victory over the surname. And the tank is undoubtedly an important factor in determining the victory or defeat on land.

"We have tentatively named the new tank 'Cheetah', and as many people know, the Cheetah is the sprint champion, and the 'Cheetah' tank can be said to be the speed champion of the tank!" He Ping's calm but not excited words caused a sensation in the conference room.

Speed champion in main battle tanks? This means that the maximum road speed and maximum off-road speed of the 'Cheetah' tank far exceed that of the current mainstream tank. Of course, the mainstream tanks here refer to the Leopard 2, T90, M1 tanks.

The current maximum road speed of mainstream tanks is about 70-80 km/h, and the maximum off-road speed is around 50-60 km/h. With the body of a mainstream tank weighing fifty or sixty tons, it can run at such a fast speed, which already represents the highest level of current technology. And this is only the maximum speed, in the actual combat and marching deployment, the speed of the tank must not be increased to the maximum, which can be a very serious threat to the power system, will affect the engine life or even damage.

The speed is fast, mainly depending on the weight of the tank, engine power, etc., and the 'Cheetah' tank because of the use of the latest composite armor, the weight is much lighter than the mainstream tank often more than 60 tons of big guys, the power of the engine because of the silicon uranium alloy to ensure the stability and life of the engine.

"Last night we secretly experimented with the speed of the test vehicle, with a maximum road speed of 90 km/h and a maximum off-road speed of 63 km/h. This is the first-hand information we have obtained, and although it does not represent the real level of this tank, this data is undoubtedly exciting. He Ping pushed the frame of the mirror and waved his right hand and said.

The rest of the room was immediately stunned by this data? Oh my God, the tank ran out of speed of an armored vehicle, is that still called a tank?

The representatives of the four countries did not doubt He Ping's words, because it was not only Xingchen Company that participated in the experiment, but also experts from the other three countries were present, and besides, using false data to deceive everyone would not have the slightest benefit at all, but would damage the reputation of Xingchen Company.
