Derek looks high, hum, give you a 105mm gun, that's already a preferential treatment, what more do you want?

You don't need that.

"No, no, the existing 105-mm guns are no longer enough for our needs." "We need larger caliber guns to deal with potential threats, Mr. Derek, and we can't accept this tank with a 105mm gun," Berg said. ”

Berg directly expressed his dissatisfaction in this way, you sold us this gun, we are not satisfied, needless to say, it is just a matter of artillery, this is a matter of principle.

"Unacceptable?" Derek pretended to be surprised: "You have never mentioned our communication during this time!" We said that we want to export M1 tanks, aren't you very welcome? ”

The other party began to play with the rhetoric on the model, speaking of the M1 tank, it is the color of the 105 mm barrel, the 120 mm one, is the M1A1 tank.

When you communicated, you didn't object to anything, and you didn't say it until now? Is there some misunderstanding?

"Hey, Mr. Qin, what are you laughing at?" At this time, Mahmoud, who had a gloomy face, couldn't help but feel a little strange when he found that Qin Zhenhua was smiling there.

"I think of an old story of ours." Qin Zhenhua said: "The name of this story is called White Horse Not Horse, do you want to hear it?" ”

Who at this time, wants to hear your story! Of course, Derek was not interested, but Mahmoud in front of him was interested and said, "Please speak." ”

So, Qin Zhenhua stood under the M1 tank and spoke.

This is the ancient period, the Warring States Period, there was a person named Gongsun Long in the eastern big country to pass the customs, and the customs official said: "According to the convention, the people who pass the customs can pass, but the horses can't." ”

Gongsun Long was not happy when he heard it, what you are talking about is not a horse, but I am not a horse, I am a white horse! The white horse is not a horse, and after some reasoning, the official nodded again and again after listening to it, and said: "What you said is very reasonable, please pay for the horse." ”

The story was very simple, it was finished in a few minutes, and Mahmoud nodded repeatedly, and then, looking at the M1 tank again, said: "Yes, the M1A1 tank, not the M1 tank, right?" Mr. Derek? ”

That's when Derek reacted.

The other party turned out to be refuting his own arguments.

The M1A1 tank, not the M1 tank, the plan we discussed before was the M1 tank, so it's your fault, you want a 120mm barrel, that's impossible.

What our Congress allows for export is also M1 tanks.

But, if it comes to it, the M1A1 tank, isn't it the M1 tank?

Of course, isn't a white horse a horse? The M1A1 tank is just a facelift of the M1 tank, and since it is a facelift, it is still an M1 tank!

These two people are singing and harmonizing, and they will definitely use this argument, saying that the export agreement of the M1 tank reached is M1 in a broad sense, and it all includes.

In this way, it will definitely be a long time to argue, and Derek simply diverted the topic: "You may have misunderstood, although we use a 105mm gun, the power of this gun is quite good, and it is fully capable of dealing with various current threats." ”

"What we need is not just to deal with the current threats, but also the threats of the future." "Mr. Derek, if we make up our minds to purchase a main battle tank, it may be in our army, for decades, we have to see not only the present, but also the future, compared to the 120mm tank gun, which has more potential to deal with various threats in the future, so we have to have a 120mm tank gun, this is a matter of principle," Berg said. ”

At the beginning, in the big countries in the East, they were dissatisfied with the 85 tank 105 mm guns, and since the hull has been enlarged, it is natural to have a larger barrel.

Even if it is military aid, it is not given in vain, and the total number is limited, good steel should be used on the blade, and it is absolutely impossible for the other party to fool itself like this.

Berg has made it clear.

Derek was suddenly a little embarrassed. When he came, he was full of confidence, thinking that as soon as this tank came up, it would be able to make the Pakistani side full of praise, and then took the initiative to ask to buy it.

What happened to the 105 gun? It's enough, why do you want such a cannon barrel?

"Mr. Derek, do you have something unspeakable?" Qin Zhenhua spoke again, and his words were not shocking: "Your 120mm tank gun is not self-developed, but directly imported from German technology, is it that when you signed the agreement, there was a clause that you were not allowed to export to a third country, so you can't export it?" ”

What the? What do you call that! Derek thought to himself, how can we, the United States, care about the export restrictions of other countries? Who can restrain us?

Besides, it's not that we can't develop it ourselves, we just don't need to develop it, it's just a tank gun, and we don't pay attention to the cannon, but to the shell.

Derek thought about these words in his heart, but how to say them was particular, and his mind was spinning, and he hesitated for a while.

And this hesitation seems to be sitting on something.

So, Qin Zhenhua came up, patted him on the shoulder, and pretended to be affectionate: "Sure enough, you have this unspeakable secret, what about this, it's easy to say, let's help you come up with ideas." ”

Cut, what are you doing?

Before Derek could react, the other party had already said all kinds of plans like a cannonball.

"It's too easy to circumvent the export rules, you can lengthen the barrel, the German tank gun is 44 times the caliber, you can lengthen it a little, to 50 times the caliber, so that it is no longer a German tank gun, a white horse is not a horse!" Moreover, if the barrel is long, the power will be greater, how? ”

A smile suddenly appeared on the faces of the old men, yes, that's right!

They were looking forward to an advanced tank gun, 44 times the caliber was not enough, and it did not match the huge hull contours, if it was replaced with 50 times the caliber, it would naturally be better.

In this way, firepower will definitely be able to reign supreme here.

If you're dealing with export agreements, that's a solution.

Qin Zhenhua's suggestion is very good, it not only helps the other party to circumvent the export rules, but also helps Lao Ba get stronger artillery, which is simply a lot of money.
