In order to show the importance of this bidding activity, Lin Hongfei, who has not personally led the team for several years, personally led the team to the test site of military vehicles of various countries: the American China Tiger Range.

Lin Hongfei thought well, but seeing that even Chinese had to come to their own rice bowls to find food, this was simply a great shame for the major equipment suppliers in Europe and the United States who have always regarded US military procurement as their own self-reserved land, and their noses were crooked for a while: It is too much deception, you Chinese can just mix and eat in Asian, African and Latin American countries.

"Don't worry about them," Lin Hongfei snorted coldly, not paying attention to the guy who came from Daimler to show off his might at all, "Wait a minute, they will cry." ”

In Lin Hongfei's impression, because the US military stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan were repeatedly attacked by roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the morale of the army was greatly hit by the rising death toll, in order to alleviate the difficulties encountered by the US military on the battlefield in Afghanistan, the Pentagon only began to decide in 2007 to develop a new type of light mine-resistant anti-ambush combat vehicle to replace the "Humvee" and reduce troop casualties.

In this plan, the Pentagon is ready to invest $25 billion to purchase 22,000 new mine-resistant anti-ambush combat vehicles by 2009 to enhance the US military's ability to resist roadside bomb attacks, and even to enhance the confidence of US GIs, the Pentagon has listed this plan as one of the top priorities in defense procurement.

But perhaps because of the instigation of Lin Hongfei's butterfly wings, the project that could only be promoted in 2007 started in 2003, and the Pentagon, which was rich and wealthy in this era, was much more bullish than in 2007, directly throwing out 32 billion US dollars.

Although Lin Hongfei looks confident, Rostock and Tang Yong are somewhat worried in their hearts, although Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has also been one of the world's leading military vehicle manufacturers over the years. In the face of the military procurement of the world's number one military power, in the face of Scania, Steyr, Daimler. Chrysler, Carter, General Motors and other military vehicle manufacturing giants with dozens or hundreds of years of history and accumulation are still somewhat bottomless in their hearts.

When they didn't know the bottom of their hearts, they had to ask Ji and Lin Hongfei, "Mr. Lin, what do you think is the probability that we will win the bid this time?" Who is our biggest competitor this time? ”

"Grasp, it's hard to say," Lin Hongfei shook his head, "but in terms of performance, I am very confident in our car, but you also know it." It's never about performance alone. ”

Rostock, Tang Yong and others nodded again and again, what Mr. Lin said was right, there are countless inside stories hidden behind every military procurement case, and it is by no means that your car will definitely use yours if it is good, if it is purely compared to performance. Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is indeed not afraid of anyone, but it is just like what Mr. Lin said. Who says this kind of thing well? It's because of the uncertainties. They're worried.

"As for our competitors, I think it's more likely that the three companies – Military Explosion Vehicles, British Aerospace Systems and International Military & Government – will get this kind of mine-proof anti-ambush combat vehicle."

Lin Hongfei said this, of course, because he was completely sure, and although he was four years ahead of schedule, he still thinks that the Military Explosion-Proof Vehicle Company, British Aerospace Systems and the International Military and Government Corporation are more likely to win the Pentagon's contract for the Lightweight Mine-Resistant Anti-Ambush Vehicle (MRAP).

"Military explosion-proof vehicle company? British Aerospace Systems? International military and government companies? Tang Yong read the names of the three companies, his face a little confused.

Over the years. The North County Construction Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. led by him also produces a lot of military construction machinery, and it is also the person in charge of a military equipment manufacturing unit, but what are the origins of these three companies?

"Military explosion-proof vehicle companies, British Aerospace Systems and international military and government companies are the three largest of the countless companies run by the bigwigs on Capitol Hill," Tang Yong said to Lin Hongfei. Jessica, who came over to accompany her, opened her mouth to explain to Tang Yong and Rostock.

Although with the help of Lee. Iacoca's introduction, Guqi Province Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Lin Hongfei have a good personal relationship with many US congressmen over the years, but after all, the two countries will become direct competitors has become the consensus of the two countries' high-level leaders, Lin Hongfei such an original Chinese still makes many Capitol Hill people worried, but if Jessica comes forward, it will be completely different, this original Guqi Province Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in the United States The person in charge has long been on his own, has become the spokesperson of Lin Hongfei's interests in the United States, not only has a very good relationship with many big figures in American politics, but also is a famous figure in American society, a philanthropist, and a rich woman, and he is in the limelight.

"I see!" Tang Yong and Rostock suddenly realized!

It turns out that this is the case, these three companies are just those members of the US Congress who take benefits, think about it, 32 billion US dollars, the profit of military equipment is already high, excluding the cost, at least more than 8 billion US dollars, so much money, who is not red-eyed?

"Fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders" is not just a saying unique to the Republic.

But then, the two became more and more worried, "Mr. Lin, if this is really the case, wouldn't our hope be even smaller?" ”

"Not necessarily," Lin Hongfei smiled, "You always know the M1078 military vehicles equipped by the U.S. military, right?" ”

M1078 4*4 light military wheeled off-road transport vehicle? The eyes of the spring and Rostock suddenly lit up: how could they not know the famous M1078?

In the impression of countless people, the US military truck is a ten-wheeled truck, and there is a row of American GIs sitting in the cargo box, chewing gum and leaving the dust, and the American GIs on it must be wearing a crooked helmet and hanging their children, and from time to time they have to tease the beauties on the side of the road.

But how can they not be familiar with the M1078 2-ton 4*4 light military wheeled off-road transporter and the M1083 5-ton 6*6 light wheeled off-road transporter? M1078 and M1083 are both products of Stahl, which are authorized by Stahl to be produced by U.S. arms companies, although all the engines and gearboxes are produced by the Americans' own enterprises, but because of Steyr's authorization, the Americans have to give Steyr enough money. The car must also have the Starr logo, and the Starr company does not need to produce a car to make a lot of money, which is comfortable.

If the company's car can really be selected by the Pentagon, even if it is authorized to be produced by American companies, it is nothing, and we can still make a big profit without paying a penny, what is not satisfied?

Thinking of this, Tang Yong and Rostock suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and looked at Jessica with a smile, "Miss Jessica, after today's test." I'm going to bother you. ”

"It's my job." Jessica nodded with a smile.

…………………………………………

In recent years, Americans have also learned a lot of vices from the Republic, such as that no matter what activity starts, there must always be a big man to talk nonsense.

Of course, this is the proper meaning of the question, whether it is an official event or a non-governmental event, someone must always explain what the purpose of the activity is. But perhaps it is the privileges of those officials of the republic that make the old beauties blush, for the past few years. The nonsense before the start of the old beauty event is also taking up more and more time. In the past, the whole speech was only a few minutes, but now, it has firmly crossed the 30-minute mark, and today is no exception.

Rumsfeld seemed to be in good spirits, and with his abundant body movements, a series of nonsense came out of his mouth. From how the Pentagon cares about the safety of American GIs to its confidence in the war in Afghanistan, it is as if there is no war in this world that the Americans cannot win......

"The Pentagon's initial decision to develop a light mine-resistant anti-ambush vehicle (MRAP) is a combat vehicle designed for soldiers to defend against mines, roadside bombs and other attacks. In order to provide our children with as much protection as possible, this test was created. ”

"You are all from the world's top military vehicle manufacturers, your cars protect the peace and tranquility of mankind all over the world, and I have reason to believe that you must come up with the best cars, but I still want to make one point, in order to protect our children, the Pentagon's requirements are extremely demanding, and the three aspects of protection capability, maneuverability and firepower must be perfectly balanced, and the problem of improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Afghanistan must be solved......

The China Lake Target Field is located in the desert, and as soon as Rumsfeld's nonsense came out, everyone couldn't stand it: Does this still make people live?

Fortunately, Rumsfeld also knew that there were not only many foreign military equipment suppliers, but also many weapons and equipment suppliers in the United States. After that, he quickly slipped away.

Count this bastard acquaintance! Lin Hongfei saw this meaning from the eyes of the arms dealers.

……………………

The first person to start was naturally the boss of the American military vehicle manufacturing enterprise: Carter, executive vice president of the Carter company. Weiss not only looked confident, but even a little aggressive, as if their Carter company had already obtained the largest piece of the order......

Pointing to the huge car in front of him, Carl. Will was a little proud, "The light anti-mine anti-ambush vehicle (MRAP) designed by Carter Company is modified from the standard anti-mine combat vehicle, which weighs 18 tons and is equipped with a large number of US troops, but after dismantling the anti-mine assembly and using a large number of new materials to reduce the dead weight, under the premise of providing the same protection capability as the anti-mine combat vehicle, the weight of the light anti-mine anti-ambush combat vehicle has been reduced from 18 tons to 11 tons!" ”

There was a round of applause at the scene, and it seemed that everyone was happy about the achievement of Carter, and on the premise of providing the ability to figure out the protection, the weight was reduced from 18 tons to 11 tons, isn't it worth being happy?

Only Lin Hongfei hugged his arms and sneered, his weight was reduced from 18 tons to 11 tons, and he can really provide the same protection capability as the "Buffalo" anti-mine combat vehicle? It's all insiders here, who are you carter fooling?

Lin Hongfei has long been surprised by the undisciplined ability of American companies, such as the views and concepts that people can openly say that "sugar substitutes are harmless to the human body", which can be scolded by countless people.

In fact. Lin Hongfei also slandered in his heart, which of these arms & arms deals is not black-hearted? Even if Lin Hongfei and Lin are the big boss who buys Carter Company half to death in his heart, he still has to maintain his demeanor for Carl on the surface. Weiss, applaud Carter's "technological progress"?

Everyone's encouragement, Carl. "At the same time, the new light mine-resistant anti-ambush vehicle is also easier to operate than the mine-resistant combat vehicle." I have personally tested it, and driving a light mine-resistant anti-ambush combat vehicle is almost the same as driving a sporty utility vehicle! ”

"The terrain of Afghanistan is rugged, with many vast mountainous areas, complex and treacherous terrain, and it is difficult to cross land operations. Just like the moon, Carter's lightweight, mine-resistant anti-ambush combat vehicles are more terrain-adaptable, and in early tests, many testers who have served in the military for many years believe that for the battlefield in Afghanistan, where the terrain is complex. This lightweight, mine-resistant anti-ambush combat vehicle can provide the necessary combat marching speed for the US military, and the performance is satisfactory. ”

Shit! Lin Hongfei scolded hatefully in his heart. Lin Hongfei couldn't see it. Cal. This bastard is simply demonstrating and showing off to himself and all his peers!

Our Carter Company has strong connections and relationships in the military, if you know each other, please be honest!

Although this is just a deterrent method of the Carter Company, Lin Hongfei also saw a look of fear in the eyes of an arms dealer from South Africa: compared with a behemoth like the Carter Company, a company from South Africa is really not enough.

Shook his head slightly. Lin Hongfei plans to continue listening to what nonsense this guy can have.

Like the mine-defying combat vehicle, Carter's light-duty mine-resistant anti-ambush combat vehicle also adopts a front-engine, 6*6 full-time four-wheel drive structure, with a central inflation and deflation system, and an independent suspension system that is more suitable for bad road conditions. When bombed, the chassis can disperse the impact of the explosion, so as to provide protection for the soldiers in the car, and the defensive performance is better than the HMMWV military vehicle commonly used by the US military, which can completely replace the HMMWV military vehicle equipped with heavy armor to provide good protection for our soldiers. ”

"It can carry 5 soldiers, including 1 machine gunner. The vehicles are produced by the Wisconsin-based truck manufacturer Oshkosh for $1.4 million per unit. ”

"Of course, the dead weight of 11 tons is here, so the fuel consumption of this tank is slightly higher, and it can only travel about 1.7 kilometers per liter of fuel. The tanks can hold about 180 litres of fuel. ”

Can you only walk 1.7 kilometers per liter of fuel? Lin Hongfei smiled and shook his head, compared to the 11-ton weight of Carter's light mine-proof anti-ambush combat vehicle, this car can be called fuel-efficient...... Suddenly, Lin Hongfei was a little curious, is this 11 tons of self-weight net weight or self-weight after adding oil and water?

The difference is not ordinary!

When thinking so, Lin Hongfei's eyes unconsciously fell on the three cars brought by his company, the first is the largest, the former Soviet Union MAZ543 type 8 * 8 heavy military wheeled off-road transport vehicle based on the modification of the light anti-mine anti-ambush combat vehicle, the structure has been changed from 8 * 8 to 6 * 6, the engine is front-loaded, because it is mainly for personnel transportation and mine attack, the structure has done a lot of weight reduction, but even so, the weight of the whole car is still more than 16 tons, Compared to Carter's light mine-resistant anti-ambush combat vehicle, this guy can definitely be called a behemoth.
