Chapter 70: The Tank Is Coming
March is the time when everything grows, and it is a good time to grow things.
Cai Hongming stayed on the farm and had nothing to do, so he wanted to go to the western Xinjiang to plant roses.
Now is the most suitable time to plant roses, after this time the weather gets hotter, and it is not easy to live when roses are planted.
He discussed this plan with his wife, but after Su Wanyu heard it, he was stopped by her, saying that the tank he wanted was about to arrive, and he had to sign for it himself, and he couldn't leave.
Cai Hongming was directly dumbfounded, this speed is too fast! It's not been half a month yet, and that's it?
Later, after listening to Su Wanyu's explanation, he realized that buying a tank was actually nothing. As long as the individual is patriotic and politically clean, the provincial people's government approves it. Of course, the most important thing is to have someone, otherwise you can run to death if you run these procedures. To put it bluntly, a tank with a fire system removed is no different from a car covered with a thick layer of iron, and the army is eager to sell it to recover a little more money to get equipment.
Seriously, this isn't necessarily something that people want.
First, this thing can't be on the road because it can't get a license; Second, this thing consumes fuel, and it costs hundreds of dollars to run a kilometer; At first, some people may buy it out of interest, but later on, they will regret it. And you can't be too arrogant to buy this thing, didn't a boss in Jiangsu and Zhejiang buy an amphibious tank last time, and the world knows that it was finally taken back? So sometimes buying these things is to be silent, otherwise there are tanks and planes in the domestic collection, why are others fine, but he has an accident?
Also, why was Cai Hongming able to get the tank so quickly?
First, there was mainly Su Wanyu to help, and second, he didn't think about driving the tank out of the desert area at all. He would even give the tank he bought a makeover, because he felt that it was too frustrating to use the original tank outfit and not cool at all. If the speed of the tank is not good, he will even make people change the power, otherwise how to run in the desert.
Want to make money. You have to spend money first, and this sentence is not said in vain.
A few days later, the tank arrived, and Cai Hongming drove Su Wanyu over to sign for it. With them are Yuanyuan and Shi Wan'er, Yuanyuan is going back with his mother on the way. Su Wanyu has been on vacation for a long time, and she can't go back if she doesn't go back. And Shi Wan'er wanted to give them a ride.
It seems that the water and soil here feed people. Yuanyuan's whole person was fat, like a fat rabbit.
This annoyed her mother. Fortunately, I have to go back, and if I stay for a few more days, I don't know what kind of fat I will become.
When he arrived at the place, Cai Hongming contacted the trailer and asked them to carry the tank, and then asked them to send it to Tuoba Niu. In order to avoid stirring up other rights and wrongs, the tanks were covered with canvas. Along with the tanks, there were also staff members of the provincial government and people from the logistics and equipment department of the military district.
The people from the Logistics and Equipment Department of the Military Region obviously knew Su Wanyu. As soon as he saw her, he greeted her with a smile: "Sister, you haven't finished your vacation yet!" ”
"It's almost over, Xiao Yu, why are you here?" Su Wanyu said strangely, he didn't need to pick up and drop off this kind of thing personally.
"I just happened to have something, so I stopped by."
Thinking of the military exercise in the northwest, Su Wanyu was relieved when she heard it, it should be to escort equipment along the way. Otherwise, the tank that Hongming wanted wouldn't have come so quickly.
The provincial government staff just smiled and stayed there until they finished speaking. took out a document for Cai Hongming to sign. That Xiao Yu also took out a document for him to sign, and then asked him to give money. Cai Hongming called the bank to make the payment.
After finishing the errands, it was already noon, and Cai Hongming invited everyone to have a light meal together.
When the staff of the provincial government heard this, they smiled and politely refused, and now that the central government is strictly investigating, it is better for government personnel not to be too deeply involved with the army.
Xiao Yu doesn't have so many taboos. went to dinner with Cai Hongming and others.
"Uncle Yuyu, have you ever eaten this?" Yuan Yuan seemed to be very familiar with Xiao Yu, and when he was eating, he took out the meat full of fried sandworms and showed it off to him.
"I haven't eaten it." Xiao Yu shook his head. He didn't even know what was inside.
"Well, this is for you to eat." Yuan Yuan proudly took out a piece of sandworm meat and gave it to him.
Xiao Yu took it and ate it very ashalily, it was crispy. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it tastes like insects such as silkworm pupae and bee pupa, which is very good.
"Is it delicious?" Yuanyuan tilted his head and asked curiously.
"It's delicious." Xiao Yu nodded and said affirmatively.
"If Uncle Yuyu likes it, then I'll give you this bottle, I still have a lot of them, and I can't finish them. Uncle Hongming said that this thing can't be left for too long, otherwise it will break. ”
"Thank you." Xiao Yu took it, looked at the sandworm meat full of bottles, and asked Su Wanyu curiously: "What kind of meat is this, it tastes really good." ”
"This" Su Wanyu pulled her cheeks, and she didn't know how to answer.
"Uncle Yuyu, this is sandworm meat, it's delicious." Yuan Yuan explained beside him: "Those insects are fat and big, bigger than silkworm babies, and I also took pictures, uncle, look." With that, she took out her little pink phone and showed him a picture of the sandworm she had taken.
Xiao Yu took the phone and looked at the wriggling sandworms on it, especially one of them, in which many sandworms were burrowing in the dirt. Somehow, he felt as if the sandworm meat he had just eaten had turned into sour water and began to tumble in his stomach.
After eating, Cai Hongming took Su Wanyu and their mother and daughter to the airport to take a plane, and Xiao Yu happened to pass by and went over together.
When he returned, he went to Tuoba Niu's hidden refit base in the suburbs.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw six tanks lined up in the compound, which was very powerful and domineering, but some of them looked a little dilapidated. He didn't actually know much about tanks, but after reading the signed documents, he knew that there were two Type 59 tanks, three Type 96 tanks and one Type 99 tank, all of which were scrapped.
Like this kind of scrapped tanks, most of them are sold for scrap iron and melted into molten iron for reuse, and some are converted into civilian or police equipment, and the police armored vehicles in the city are converted from scrapped tank armor.
The Type 59 medium tank is a medium tank produced by the country at the end of the 50s of the 20th century, and the first batch of 33 vehicles produced participated in the military parade for the 10th anniversary of the National Day in 1959. It is the first tank produced by the state, and it is also the tank with the largest number of equipment and the longest service in the country's armored forces.
Cai Hongming didn't expect that this kind of old antique still exists, you must know that even the Type 2005 main battle tank is in service now.
However, the two tanks were apparently modified, painted not only in desert camouflage, but also in air conditioning.
"Ah Niu, you can help me modify these tanks, and the outer layer of camouflage must be removed. Three of them are painted in a dull black that doesn't shine, and three are painted in a dead leaf yellow that doesn't shine, and I'll find another logo to paint on when the time comes. In addition to camouflage, the shell should also be moved, so that these tanks look more domineering, there should be an anti-collision device at the front and rear, and that power, you can see if it works, if it doesn't work, replace it, try to make them run faster, but also anti-sand, don't drive a few times and lie down. ”
Tuoba Niu is very professional when he does things, and he specially took a small notebook to write down what he said.
"Are there any other requirements?"
"You see if there is air conditioning in the car, if not, install it, and you can use it both cold and warm. It's best to remove all the useless things in it, make the space a little bigger, and put a seat, refrigerator or something when the time comes. ”
"Brother Bird, how do I feel that you don't want to modify a tank, but a modified car!" Tuoba Niu said dissatisfiedly to him.
"The principle is the same, you try to get it as much as possible, how comfortable people are in it, don't sit in it and find that it is boring to death. After all, when the time comes, I want people to go in to play and make money, not for people to sit in and fight for their lives. ”
"Okay, you're the boss, you can change it however you want. But when the time comes, you have to let the old eagle come back, and he will have to help transform the system inside. ”
"No problem."
Coming out of the secret modification base of Tuoba Niu, Cai Hongming went home and had a meal with his parents who had come from his hometown. Hongsheng also came back with them, so he asked him and Su Cancheng to summon some more people to come over to learn barbecue, which was regarded as a reserve talent, otherwise how could he open a new store in the future without manpower.
