Chapter 520: Friends
We are friends and we don't add a price! As soon as this sentence came out, Khataf's heart was very moved.
When the war began, many friends, who had thought they were strong, began to turn their backs on them.
The Soviet Union is their most reliable and powerful backing, but after the outbreak of the war, the Soviet Union announced an arms embargo, if the embargo is imposed on both sides, it will be forgotten, but now, they have heard that the Soviets are fighting relations with the enemy on the opposite side behind their backs!
They felt a deep betrayal.
The Germans, before the war they ordered several thousand NG80 military trucks, now the number of deliveries is less than a quarter, and when the war began, the Germans announced that the project of this batch of military trucks was frozen.
The Germans are so hateful, they obviously paid in full! The Germans were clearly cheating them by not delivering them more trucks and not giving them refunds.
At this time, Khataf, who was in charge of weapons procurement, traveled to many places, and before coming to the big eastern country, he went to Germany and broke up with Mercedes-Benz.
Now, he finally heard the familiar words here, friend, we are sincere to our friends, such a sentence moved him to almost tears, and he didn't know that Qin Zhenhua was preparing to cut his friend's flesh with great interest.
"Battlefield repair cars?" Hearing Qin Zhenhua talk about this, he retracted his thoughts, and Khataf became serious: "Can we go and have a look?" ”
"Absolutely." Qin Zhenhua led the team with a smile, and a group of people entered the workshop.
On the chassis, it is the usual structure of five pairs of load-bearing wheels, and the tail is still an improved 580-horsepower engine, and the overall configuration is almost the same as that of the 69 tank, however, because it is used for battlefield repair, the upper part is completely different.
There is no turret, and in the middle is a crew compartment, which is also fixed, and can accommodate four crew members, and the driver is still in front, but a driver's observation window has been added, which is more convenient to drive.
"As a tank repair vehicle, there are three biggest changes in it." Qin Zhenhua introduced: "First of all, there is a ten-ton hydraulic lifting device here, which is easy to lift tank engines, tank barrels, and even tank turrets on the battlefield." ”
Compared with the previous oil hoist, hanger, and hydraulic boom, it is obviously a lot of progress.
"Under its body, there is a wire rope outlet, and inside, there is a hydraulic winch with a maximum pulling force of 35 tons." Qin Zhenhua continued.
Speaking of force, the unit should be Newton, but in the usual introduction, it is replaced by a ton unit, which is more vivid.
"If the T-55 is trapped, it can be pulled out with one of these tanks, and if it is at the T-72 level, then pull it with two." Qin Zhenhua introduced.
"In front of the car body, there is also a hydraulic dozer blade." Qin Zhenhua said: "This device is multi-functional, it can fix the car body when lifting or traction, and can also be used as a bulldozer when needed, and even used for mine clearance." ”
Anyway, if you brag about it, you can't pay taxes, and you can talk about it if you have a little bit of edge.
When he said this, Hataf also had a look of envy in his eyes: "This kind of tank repair vehicle is also the equipment we urgently need, can we have it all for the current production you have here?" ”
"These are produced for our troops." Qin Zhenhua said: "However, we will never treat our friends badly, so we will negotiate with the troops, and if possible, let the troops give the order to you first, but the price of this batch of tank repair vehicles is slightly more expensive than that of 69 tanks." ”
Tank repair car, no weapons and equipment, in fact, cheap, Qin Zhenhua said this, Zhao Guodong's heart was bright, while shouting that his friends and brothers were good, while secretly raising the price for each other, shouting that he was selling at the original price, in fact, the price has been raised through other means.
"No problem, we can take it." "The most important thing is to be fast!" At the end of the year, and the first batch of 69 tanks, together with us. ”
"Ahem, ahem." At this moment, Shi Kaitai of the foreign affairs department, who accompanied him, spoke: "Everyone, I would like to remind you that our country has also made the same statement, and in principle, we cannot provide weapons and equipment to the warring parties. ”
As soon as Shi Kaitai's words came out, many people's faces became ugly.
They came here and said hello to friends for a long time, are they going to be constrained by this agreement? So what are they running?
"Yes, we know that." Qin Zhenhua said: "So, Your Excellency Khataf, my friend, I'm sorry that I can't sell this equipment to you. ”
Hataf's face became even more ugly, if he couldn't sell it, you would have said it earlier! So what else do I watch? I won't come, I'll just go back.
Just as he was about to return home, Qin Zhenhua spoke again: "However, we are absolutely unambiguous about our friends, there is always a way, we can't sell the equipment directly to you, but we can sell it to a third party." ”
Third party?
Hataf's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
Yes, whether to sell or not depends on the exporting country, and the exporting country is willing to sell, and there is always a way, this is the basic international law, in the final analysis, everyone just needs a fig leaf.
"Qin, you are really our good friend, a big country in the East, and also our good friend." There were already tears in Hataf's eyes.
Shi Kaitai also put his mind at ease, Qin Zhenhua solved a big problem lightly, he was right, as long as we are exported to a third party, it has nothing to do with us.
Who doesn't want to sell arms! Now, with the country's economic transformation, a large number of military enterprises have encountered a crisis, and it is easy to have a big financier, and everyone is waiting for it.
As long as this problem can be solved, there is no problem.
"Aren't you going to test it, my friend?" Qin Zhenhua asked.
The foreign trade export of weapons must first be tested by the other side, and after passing the test, it can be produced, and now?
"No, we can trust the products of the big countries in the East." Hataf said.
I picked out more than 20 faults last time, and now, where are they still in the mood, they have shifted from a buyer's market to a seller's market, and it would be good to have what they could buy.
Besides, it was just an accident last time, and the improved accessories they provided later maintained the consistent level of the test products, which was still satisfactory.
"You should still need a lot of equipment, I'll take you to the second machine factory to have a look." Qin Zhenhua continued.
