Chapter 157: It's terrible
"Your Excellency Berg, we have already vetoed the project of the Khalid tank." Kalamat finally spoke: "Today, the M1 tank went wrong in the tests, and we already know by now that they didn't bring the real version of the M1 tank, we just need to negotiate ..."
In fact, by now, everyone's position has been obvious, and the Kalamat in front of him is the spokesman of the Americans, who has been trying his best to reject the Khalid tank and look forward to the import of the M1 tank.
What's so greasy in it, it's not clear, but it's okay for people to take it out openly, after all, if you compare, the performance of the M1 tank is indeed still the most powerful in the world.
Before Calamat could finish his words, Berg interrupted him: "That's right, if it is a real version of the M1 tank, with a 120 mm gun, with advanced composite armor, it can still run stably, then the engine problem, maybe we can still tolerate it." ”
Glancing at Kalamat, Berg continued: "However, we put all our energy on one plan, there is still a risk, we have to make a backup plan, in case there are various problems with the import of M1 tanks, we also have our own alternatives, after all, it is not the first time that we have suffered losses from the West." ”
Berg's words finally blocked Calamate's mouth, they have to make all preparations, even if it is a backup plan, it can be had, the spare tire will turn positive at any time, the world is changing, who knows what accidents will happen?
After Berg's words, Calamat could no longer have stopped it.
"yes." Qin Zhenhua said there: "If it is the original M1, we admit that some of the technologies of our eastern powers are still unattainable, but everything must be prepared with both hands, no matter what the future holds, our eastern powers must firmly support Pakistan, and we will always face our friends with the same attitude." ”
Qin Zhenhua said very simply, looked at everyone, and continued: "What we lack most now is the problem of the engine, at present, our own production of the engine, has been able to run stably at 1,000 horsepower, further facelift, increased to 1,200 horsepower, is expected to be completed within two or three years, if the Khalid tank project really starts, then, by then we already have 1,200 horsepower engine." ”
The design of a tank takes a long time, and within this time, its own engine has naturally matured, after all, it will be matched with the third generation of domestic tanks.
After Qin Zhenhua finished the introduction, he continued: "Of course, if you are not confident about our technology, you can also choose from various engines in the world, and you can take advantage of the good relationship with the West to purchase the corresponding engines in the international market. ”
Of course, Qin Zhenhua hopes that he will provide engines, but he will not mind that the other party will buy other countries', after all, when it comes to tank engines, the big countries in the east are indeed defective.
The engine, built on a solid industrial foundation, cannot be built overnight, and it is a slow and gradual path, slowly catching up with the Western world.
And now, the Western world's technological accumulation is still profound, take the old Britain, for example, their tanks have used 1,200 horsepower engines, the performance is relatively stable, the United States has a lot of diesel engines can be replaced, if the old bus feels that their own is not safe, give them other engines, it is no problem at all.
Berg nodded seriously, a machine factory is enough friends, all their suggestions are considered from the standpoint of Pakistan, and if you think about today's Americans, you can feel the gap even more.
At this time, the Americans are also depressed, during the day today, they are completely ugly, the M1 tank that has been burned, there is no longer any repair value, it was hoisted onto the truck, ready to be scrapped, and at the same time it was blackmailed by the eastern powers for three million, thinking of this, Derek felt terrible.
Sitting in a hospital bed, listening to the monotonous noise of the air conditioner, Derek's heart was full of mixed feelings.
I actually vomited blood during the day, and I came to the hospital to check it out, and there was no big problem, but there were so many mistakes today, and now I can only rely on this illness to cover up.
"The test results are in." At this moment, Shuk came over and said to him: "The internal structure of the rod is somewhat different from the Israeli technology, and now, it is certain that the technology used by the two of them should be different, and some of the processes are different. ”
There is a special metalworking laboratory nearby, and the results have already come out, and it is impossible to make a fuss about this piercing rod.
"Got it." Derek said.
Today, the other party has always had the upper hand, and when the other party asked him to test with the rod, he had actually guessed the result, but he didn't expect that it was a complete and comprehensive failure!
Thinking of this, Derek felt his heart clogged. However, it is useless to think about this now.
"I've thought about it carefully, and this time we had problems because we didn't pay attention to our opponents." "So, if we want to win the market here, we have to come up with the real thing, and if we had come with an M1A1 tank, it would definitely not be the way it is now," Derek said. ”
Of course, it was Dr. Wright who made the decision to bring this tank over, so Derek was responsible, not all.
As for what cannons are not accurate, it is not their own responsibility, in short, they can find excuses, and there are problems with the decision-making of the company's upper management.
After I go back, I summarize it like this, and then, I can put aside the relationship, and if I want to win the contract here, I still have to come up with the real thing.
"It's a pity, today's test gun, if you change the shells, or use NATO standard shells, it will be good." Shuck said.
The biggest problem still appeared in the test gun, the armor-piercing shells of the eastern powers were too strong, and they directly hit their tanks, and this matter had to be spread, and the reputation of the M1 tank was also bad, at that time, it was not fair!
"That's right, today's competition was not fair." Shuck said: "We also have to find a way to let them try an armor-piercing bullet of their own!" ”
