The fast speed of the tank can effectively improve the assault ability and rapid deployment capability, which is a kind of bonus to the overall advantage of the tank, which is a land combat weapon with the purpose of high-speed maneuver and rapid breakthrough.

However, this only plays a considerable role in the combat environment in the gentle plains, among the four countries involved in the study, the plains of Somalia and Syria are relatively large, and the higher the speed of the tank, as long as the internal driver is physically fit, it is very advantageous.

North Korea and Iran, on the other hand, have more plateaus and mountainous areas, and the speed requirements for tanks are not very high. But after all, tanks are road vehicles, and it is impossible to climb mountains and mountains, and most of the time, they are deployed in a flat geographical area.

Therefore, the four countries were pleasantly surprised by the speed of the 'Cheetah' tank.

"The Cheetah tank is 9.412 meters long, 2.185 meters high, 3.520 meters wide, and weighs 44 tons. Armed with a 125mm smoothbore gun, a 7.62mm side-by-side machine gun and a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun. Reserve ammunition is 40, 3500 and 500 rounds, respectively. Referring to the size of the T-72 and the physical fitness of the soldiers of Shikoku, the reloading method still retains the automatic loader. The powertrain is a four-stroke V12 water-cooled supercharged diesel engine with an estimated power of 610 kW (low rpm) to 905 kW (top rev). The tank is equipped with space for three-proof devices and automatic fire extinguishing and explosion suppression systems; In addition, there are laser rangefinders, thermal imaging night vision devices, digital electronic computers and photoelectric alarm systems developed by us......"

Although many of the data were only on paper because the new tank had not yet been experimented, everyone in the conference room was still full of excitement when they listened to He Ping's report.

"Deputy Team Leader He, I don't know when this tank will be put into production? And is the production of tanks here or within the countries? North Korean Ambassador to Somalia Ri Chang-won suddenly asked after He Ping's explanation.

This question is also a question that everyone wants to know very urgently. From now on, this tank should have a good surname, at least a little better than the T-54/55 and the T-72 as the main battle tank. The external environment of several countries is not very good, and now there is a great need for an excellent tank to strengthen the national defense strength.

Li Mo also wanted to know about this question, and in his mind, the Somali Defense Forces would not be equipped with too many new tanks. This tank will be exported as a fist product of Xingchen Company.

He Ping smiled slightly and said, "The test of the tank is mainly focused on two aspects: the power system and the overall test of the test vehicle, and it is expected to take 3 months to half a year. According to my detailed discussions with the experts and representatives of the R&D teams of various countries, it is assumed that after the end of tank tests, the first production models will be produced in industrial parks, and then the question of whether to produce them on their own will be discussed. There is one main issue involved here, and that is the silicon-uranium alloy used in composite armor. Due to the immaturity of raw materials and processes, our company currently has only one production line to produce alloys, and the quantity may be difficult to ensure large-scale tank production. This is something that you need to discuss with the company about how to solve it. ”

Li Mo nodded slightly, He Ping's words were very much in line with his thoughts. With the participation of Syria and North Korea, all three countries will receive 40 vehicles for $2.6 million without counting the profits of silicon-uranium alloys, and then $3 million per unit if they continue to purchase.

The detailed data obtained by Xingchen from the R&D team, after rigorous and meticulous calculations, concluded that a 'Cheetah' tank does not calculate the research cost, only calculates the production cost, and a tank needs 2.6 million US dollars from raw materials to the production line. Among them, the value of silicon-uranium alloy alone reached about $1.1 million. This $1 million is the cost price of Xingchen's own production without calculating profits, and if it is sold, its value will definitely be more than that.

To put it in a general way, if Li Mo purchases the 'Cheetah' tank, without counting the silicon-uranium alloy and the cost of technical input, it will require 1.5 million US dollars for other production costs such as electronic equipment, ammunition, parts and components, and labor costs for production and assembly. In other words, the cost of producing a tank by Li Mo's company is $1.5 million (not counting other inputs).

Because the other three countries participated in the development, they could purchase the 'Cheetah' tank at the production price, including the price of silicon-uranium alloy purchased from Li Mo's company, which should be divided into two prices. The first is the first batch of 40 vehicles purchased by Li Mo, which Li Mo does not collect the profits of silicon-uranium alloy, and only sells it at the production cost price of silicon-uranium alloy, and if the three countries produce or purchase it themselves, it will require 2.6 million US dollars. According to the contract, after the three countries purchased 40 new tanks, Li Mo would not supply the tanks with silicon-uranium alloy at cost price, and the price would naturally rise, to $3 million. The price difference of $400,000 is the profit of silicon-uranium alloy charged by Li Mo.

A tank requires 1.1 tons of silicon-uranium alloy, costs 1.1 million, and makes a profit of $400,000. This profit is not in line with the true value of silicon-uranium alloys. The reason why Li Mo agreed to this price was because of the relationship between the four countries. Moreover, it is stipulated in the contract that the Three Kingdoms Political Axe, whether it is purchased from Xingchen Company or produced by itself, cannot be sold to a third party.

The ownership of the new tank is shared by the four countries, but the four countries only have the right to produce and use them, and do not have the right to sell them separately. The export rights of the new tanks are held by the Xingchen Company, and the other three political axes have shares in the new tank factory and have the power to supervise.

The tank factory and the three countries and one company each have a 25% stake, because it is built in an industrial park, Li Mo's Xingchen company naturally occupies a lot of advantages. Many parts and raw materials will be supplied by Li Mo's company, and these will be purchased and sold in normal business practices.

Although everyone in the conference room was a little dissatisfied with the time of tank inspection, they knew that this link was the most important. Because the last surname of a tank depends on whether it can find design flaws and other serious problems in this link.

After the secret meeting broke up, the ambassadors of the three countries to Somalia extended invitations to Li Mo almost simultaneously. For the procurement of silicon-uranium alloys for new tanks, strict and meticulous contracts have already been signed. But the three countries are clearly unwilling to let go of silicon-uranium alloys. This alloy is extremely versatile and is not only suitable for tank protective armor.

Li Mo pushed this matter to the experts, after all, the production of silicon-uranium alloys is now in charge of experts. Li Mo himself has returned to Mogadishu, where the two mothers-in-law are still here, and he must fulfill his obligations as a 'son-in-law' these days.

……

The General Staff of the Chinese Army in Xicheng, the capital of China.

In the room where the office of the Chief of the General Staff hangs, three people sit on two sofas.

One of them casually sank into the couch and looked at a young colonel officer across from him with a gentle smile on his face. The last short and fat major general was contemplative, frowning slightly.

"Comrade Huiqiang, what you said is exactly what the leaders of the Central Military Commission attach importance to, and some details are also ignored by us. This caused some misunderstandings between us and Li Mo. The man who had casually sunk into the sofa and was wearing a general's uniform sat up solemnly, crossed his hands on his knees, and said heavily.

He is the master here, the chief of the general staff of the Huaxia General Staff, Admiral Shan Guo.

And the 'Comrade Huiqiang' in Shan Guohaikou was actually Colonel Ding Huiqiang, the permanent representative of China to Somalia.

Ding Huiqiang heard the words of the chief of the general staff, and his face was solemn. But in my heart, I was muttering, I knew it was like this, why bother in the first place. But he never dared to say these words.

"Lao Yan, you and Comrade Huiqiang talk about the purpose of letting him come back this time!" Shan Guohai looked at the frowning and contemplative Major General and nodded and said.

"Yes, Minister!" Major General Humpty Dumpty nodded calmly.

"Colonel Ding, you already know my identity." Major General Yan looked at Ding Huiqiang and smiled. After Ding Huiqiang nodded, he continued, "This time I asked you to come back, first, to understand your work in Somalia, although you will report back on your work in Somalia, but those contents are only the key points, which can only help the country to make some decisions for reference, but not to let the leaders understand some details in detail." This can easily lead us to overlook some seemingly small but important issues. ”

Although General Yan's words were very plain, Ding Huiqiang felt that cold sweat was oozing from his back.

He was not stupid, and he knew that one of the meanings revealed in General Yan's words was that their previous work was not meticulous enough, which led to some improper decisions made by the domestic high-level.

Ding Huiqiang thought he was very wronged, but he couldn't refute it. At this time, he could not defend himself in any way. It is also the responsibility of subordinates to take responsibility for the top. And when it comes to this matter, he also has a lot of responsibility. After all, he was sent to Somalia on a mission from home. Now that the work is not done, and something goes wrong, it is natural to find a 'scapegoat'.

However, this 'scapegoat' is not the kind that sends people to death, but in order to gag the mouths of some people, it is necessary to find an explanation for some 'mistakes' at the top. This reason is naturally that Ding Huiqiang and others did not do their work properly.

"Considering that you are not an intelligence officer, we can understand some subtle mistakes in your work, as long as you pay more attention to this aspect in the future and work hard to correct it."

Seeing General Yan's sharp gaze, Ding Huiqiang knew what he should do.

Stand up and review the mistakes in your work loudly, and promise never to do it again in the future.

The chief of general staff on the side, Shan Guohai and General Yan, finally slowly eased their grim expressions. The young colonel in front of him was finally sober. Know what choices to make and when.

The attitude of the two towards Ding Huiqiang suddenly improved, and their speech was no longer as condescending and full of oppressive momentum as at the beginning.

"Comrade Huiqiang, sit down first, sit down and talk." General Yan's grim face was like an iceberg melting, and he said with a soft smile.
