In the north, it was still icy and snowy, and in the spring of 1981, there was a cold spring, while in South Asia, the climate was still hot.

"This bit of heat is nothing, when we were in the desert area, it was called a heat." When Qin Zhenhua stepped out of the car, he only felt a wave of heat rushing towards him.

If it were an ordinary person, if he came here, he would definitely be extremely uncomfortable, but Qin Zhenhua didn't care, he had survived the days in the desert area, and this heat was still acceptable, but after he went back, it was estimated that he would be sunburned again.

Qin Zhenhua smiled and spoke to the people around him, and at the same time, looked at the scene in front of him.

Lao Ba's tank overhaul plant.

In that year, the Indo-Pakistani War broke out, in order to support Lao Pakistan, a large number of weapons and equipment were exported in China.

It was by virtue of this brotherhood that Lao Ba finally stabilized the war, and after that, Lao Ba became Pakistan Tie.

The shadow of the war is still shrouded, and Lao Ba is equipped with thousands of 59 tanks, and these tanks, in use, also need to be overhauled.

Not to mention anything else, the tank engine, after 500 motorized hours, will have to undergo a major overhaul, so Lao Ba must have its own tank overhaul plant, at the beginning, the tank overhaul plant here was built simultaneously with the J-6 overhaul plant.

Now, this overhaul plant is a lively scene, you can see the open space of the factory, there are tanks that are being prepared for repair, and there are also tanks that have been repaired and are ready to leave the factory, everything is in order.

"Welcome." Sharif, who had been to the eastern powers for inspection, intimately greeted the arriving group at the tank overhaul plant this time, and behind him was Aslam, the director of the tank overhaul plant.

After talking cordially, they looked behind Qin Zhenhua, and on the tank transporter, there was a tank, untied the tarpaulin covering it, and waited quietly there.

This tank, very similar to the 59 tank they were overhauling, had the same chassis of five pairs of load-bearing wheels and had a spherical turret, but many of the peripherals on the turret were different, especially the barrel stuffed into the turret, so the difference was even greater.

The barrel is slightly thicker, especially with a thick smoke extraction device in the middle of the barrel, which is the most noticeable difference from the previous 100 mm rifled guns.

This tank, of course, is the 69 foreign trade tank of a machine factory.

"This tank, we have withstood the severe test in the desert area." Qin Zhenhua said: "After testing, all aspects of performance can meet the needs of the tropics. Now that it has begun to be exported to tropical countries, we are confident that it will be able to withstand your test. ”

"yes, we're looking forward to it." "This tank looks really good, and now let's take a look at what it really does," Sharif said. ”

The tank was started and rumbled down from the tank transporter, and just as the tank had not yet stopped, suddenly a sentry came running in a hurry.

"Report, there is a British military attache outside asking to see you."

As a former colonial country, the official language here is English, so now, Qin Zhenhua can also hear what the other party says, and when he heard the British military attache asking to see him, Qin Zhenhua immediately frowned.

What's going on?

If you don't come early, you don't come late, but if you come at this time, it's obviously a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken.

This is Lao Ba's tank overhaul plant, which belongs to the military industry, and generally speaking, outsiders are not allowed to come in, but since the other party came here to ask for a meeting, he must know something.

Could it be that they are coming for their own tank?

Qin Zhenhua's eyes looked at the tank and its high barrel, and the doubts in his heart became thicker and thicker.

This time out, someone leaked the secret?

Who did this to you?

"Mr. Sharif, it's a pleasure to meet you." At the gate of the tank overhaul plant, a British sedan was parked there, and when it came out, Woodward's face flashed with a meaningful smile: "Can I go in and see the 69 tank that has just been transported?" ”

"Since the big countries in the East are going to bring this tank over, they must be going to sell it everywhere, and we really want to see its majesty, and perhaps, help find more buyers?" Woodward continued, this kind of weasel New Year's greeting to the chicken, expressed very clearly, but at this time, there was really no reason to refuse him.

The other party already knows it, and it knows it clearly, and this arms purchase is destined to be impossible to hide from the world, and there is nothing to hide.

Thinking of this, Sharif could only nod and said: "Okay, please come in and take a look together, but the specific data of this tank is a military secret, and I ask for your understanding." ”

"That's natural, we don't ask random questions, we only ask ourselves what we need to ask." Woodward said to Sharif.

Wu Huade strode in, and next to the tank, he saw several people from the big countries in the East, and then said to the youngest young man: "Your Excellency is Qin Zhenhua, right?" I have admired your name for a long time, and when you were in England, you had a deep understanding of tanks, which our generals admired. ”

The scene that Qin Zhenhua did in the UK made the British speechless, and this matter has long been spread, and many people in the industry know it.

Qin Zhenhua nodded: "That's right, it's me." Your Excellency came here, is it intended to purchase our 69 tanks? Absolutely good quality and low price, how much do you want? ”

"Your 69 tanks?" Woodard stood in front of the tank, pointed to the barrel of the tank, and said, "This is not necessarily, right?" This tank gun should be our L7 tank gun, right? Mr. Qin, you have just begun to open up the market, to take the road of market economy, you know, to take this road, the most important thing is to pay attention to integrity, the performance of the agreement, this tank gun, when we exported technology, has been clearly said, can only be used by you, can not be exported. ”

Then, Woodward turned his head again and said to Sherif: "Your Excellency Sherif, we are very happy that you can take a fancy to our L7 tank gun, if you need it, we can sell it to you at a price of 500,000 yuan each, and we will sell it as much as you want." ”

500,000 per door? The other party must be talking about pounds, converted, almost enough for the price of the entire 69 tank, Woodard came here, it can be regarded as unceremoniously, and directly entered the topic, they are here to mix in this deal!
