More than half a month after returning from China, the first batch of 300 people and related supplies arrived.

Xu Ziling showed his face, and then asked Gu Hongyuan and Lu Feng to be responsible for arranging them, and left, because Smith had something to do with him.

It has been half a year since the mercenary team was formed, and in Smith's opinion, the team should go to actual combat, and it is not enough to rely on rigid training alone, so after obtaining Xu Ziling's consent, he gave them some tasks through the mercenary website and let them try their hands.

After this arrangement, he was idle, and he wanted to rest for a while, but he didn't expect to get a very important news from other people's mouths.

And once this thing is done, it will be a lot of income, so I came to report to Xu Ziling.

"What's the matter?" The office sat down, took a cigar from the desk drawer and tossed it to Smith.

Smith smoked less cigarettes and liked cigars, raised his hand to take it, lit himself a puff, and looked satisfied, "The Gilph government is now preparing to purchase a batch of tanks, the number of which is three hundred, and the budget is hundreds of millions of dollars, can we go to the bidding?" ”

"Gilph? Is the message accurate? Xu Ziling immediately became interested.

Gilph is a Mediterranean country in Eastern Europe, with a short coastline and a small territory, not as big as Xu Ziling. However, the country has a developed economy and is also a member of the European Union, but it is neutral in its political position, and it is just a name in the EU. It is one of the world's most famous wealthy countries.

Although their country is neutral, it still has an army, and the navy, land and air force are complete. This time, they want to purchase 300 tanks, which is estimated to be the strength of all the mechanized troops of their army.

I used to think about using science and technology to establish good relations with other countries, but now I have the opportunity to send it to my door.

250 million US dollars, 300 vehicles, a budget equivalent to 800,000 US dollars, this is not a small amount, it can make money, and it can be used to build a good relationship with this country, Xu Ziling felt the need to give it a try.

"Absolutely no problem, the news came out from the Minister of Defense, and it will be announced in May, so I'll see if we can come out with samples before May." Smith said immediately.

"Do you have any special requests?"

"Suited to the topography of their country to the greatest extent."

"Lion, bring up the topographical map of the country of Gilf." After listening to Smith's words, Xu Ziling turned to the computer and shouted.

As soon as the words fell, the lion reacted, and a satellite image was immediately displayed on the computer screen, Xu Ziling glanced at it, and saw that most of their country was hilly.

I was immediately sure of it.

Isn't the hilly terrain just the need for off-road ability?

"There are still more than two months, it is no problem to take out a few samples, you do a good job of public relations, make sure that we will participate in the bidding, the documents needed, I will provide you with these days, and guarantee that the samples will come out before the bidding meeting."

Although 250 million US dollars is not much, it is not less, converted into Celestial Empire coins, there are more than 100 million, the tank project, he has considered it before, and has already calculated the cost, the cost of a car will not exceed 400,000 US dollars, if a car can be sold for 800,000 US dollars, then there is double the profit, compared to some products, it is not much, but it is not less.

After discussing, Smith left and prepared for his affairs, while Xu Ziling immediately communicated with the lion and asked him to take out the tank plan he had shown him last time.

Compared with the laser armored car, the engine, suspension system, and control system in the tank scheme are the same, but the hull armor and turret have to be redone.

Although Xu Ziling has not personally tested the depleted uranium armor of the M1 main battle tank of the United States, he believes that he will definitely not be worse than the United States, as for the gun, it is a 120mm smoothbore gun.

However, this cannon is different from any kind of smoothbore cannon in the world today, and all the shells it fires are cannonball-type missiles, and there are no ordinary cannons.

This kind of artillery shell can not only attack low-altitude armed helicopters within 8,000 meters, but also carry out precise strikes on ground targets, and can completely play the function of a small multi-purpose missile.

As for the electronic instruments for ranging and thermal imaging, the new tank does not have any, only a new type of vehicle-mounted microwave radar, this radar is completely a reduced version of the large phased array radar, and the distance it searches is only 20 kilometers, but because it is a new microwave method, this signal can be reflected by all objects and form an image, to a certain extent, outside the line of sight, everything on the ground can be clearly imaged, and there is no dead end.

This radar is not only the effect of scanning the target, but also part-time fire control radar, that is to say, when the tank fires, there is no need for people to measure the range, aim or something, just when the target is found, press the button to lock the target, the turret can adjust and calculate the shooting elements by itself, at this time, you only need to gently press the launch.

Large tonnage, high-speed mobility, new scanning system, automated combat mode, Xu Ziling did not believe that such a tank would be uncompetitive, and after looking at it again for a while, he immediately made a call to Wu Zhonghui of the northern military industry.

Wu Zhonghui received a call from Xu Ziling, and he was very polite, but he also complained, because he didn't inform him when he returned to China last time.

"Mr. Wu, you also know that we people are involuntary many times, I stayed in the capital for a few days, and then there was something in the south, I really didn't have time, next time I went back, I will invite you to eat and make amends?" Xu Ziling said helplessly.

Of course, Wu Zhonghui didn't really complain about Xu Ziling, but said that he just paid attention to him all the time, and when he saw Xu Ziling's attitude, he immediately stopped saying anything.

"I don't dare to make amends, but the next time I return to China, I must inform me and let me entertain you. By the way, call me, there must be something, right? ”

"There is indeed something, and it is a good thing, it has happened, maybe we have another way to make money." Xu Ziling smiled and told him about the tank.

Of course, the financial route he was referring to was only that they took the lion's share, and the northern military industry took some OEM fees.

However, the northern military industry also has an armored vehicle project, and now the domestic Type 99 main battle tank is produced by them, with the previous cooperative relationship, Xu Ziling casually transferred a few technologies to them, let them improve the 99, or it is not impossible to authorize the domestic production rights to them.

If that's the case, then they can make a lot of money.

Therefore, after Wu Zhonghui listened to Xu Ziling, he immediately became interested.

"No problem, just a few samples, even if they are handmade, I will have people get them out within a month. However, if it succeeds, you'll have to consider us. ”

Win-win is the best competition, and if a family eats alone, it will attract everyone's siege, such a project as a tank, there is a lot of domestic demand, but the profit is not necessarily very high, if you really want to give the northern military industry, it is not a big deal.

Hearing Wu Zhonghui say this, Xu Ziling responded very generously.

Thinking about it, it's not like directly agreeing to any conditions, it's understandable, anyway, they don't lose anything.

After passing on the relevant information and a full set of techniques, Wu Zhonghui, who got the promise, did not gossip with Xu Ziling, saying that he was going to arrange personnel to absorb it immediately, and soon hung up the phone.

After getting the northern military industry, he arranged the microwave radar, engine, suspension and other components.

These parts are all made in Xingcheng's own factory, so he just talks to his father.

Xu Haoran knew that Xu Ziling and they had returned to China a while ago, and he didn't have any opinion on them not going back, but just asked about the recent situation in Makula.

The other is to talk to Xu Ziling about a problem he didn't consider before: marriage.

"You're graduating now, and you and Ruolan live together, you don't care, but Ruolan is a girl, and your Uncle Yang is such a family, you have to give someone a name." Otherwise, people follow you without a name or a point, like what? ”

To be honest, Xu Ziling really didn't think about this problem.

Before you know it, four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the once little boy has become a man. I remember that not long after I arrived in Star City, I met Yang Ruolan, and a few months later, the two came together, and then shared the same bed until now.

Under the mutual affection, he never thought about what his father said, and of course Yang Ruolan never mentioned it.

Now that I think about it, there was something wrong with that.

Fortunately, the Yang family is open-minded, if they were a little more conservative, it would definitely be impossible for their daughters to follow him like this and enter in pairs outside, right?

I was negligent.

Xu Ziling knocked his head.

"Why don't you get an engagement first? And then pick a day together? He really didn't understand these things, so he was a little cautious when talking about it in front of Xu Haoran.

"Why don't you get married directly? You're all old anyway. ”

"I think everyone else has such a ceremony as an engagement, let's have a full set, it's a big deal to get engaged in the first half of the year, and get married in the second half of the year."

"That's okay, you discuss it with Ruolan, I'll discuss it with your mother here, and I'll call you tomorrow."

"Okay, you can arrange it, we don't understand these things."

Engagement, marriage.

Although Yang Ruolan was by his side, he never thought of getting a new love, but he really never thought about these things, and was suddenly mentioned by Xu Haoran, realizing that he really needed to give Yang Ruolan such a title, he was a little inexplicably nervous.

After hanging up the phone and sitting in the office for a long time, he decided to go to find out Yang Ruolan's tone first.
