Chapter 181: State-of-the-art engine
Shameless, shameless, shameless!
At this time, Robert, George, Joyce, and Jackson all began to curse in their hearts, they were really shameless.
Just when boasting about Chivoltan, the engine, boasted of the improved 800 horsepower, or even 900 horsepower, did not impress the other party, the reason given by the other party is that there is no money to procure, these can also be said in the past, and now, in order to let the other party introduce 105 mm tank guns, so to send a few sets to the other party, let the other party and their own 100 mm smoothbore gun test, now, they are energetic, the test products given in vain, not too little, not only tank guns, and the engine! And, their latest masterpiece, the 1200 hp engine!
Now, except for Germany, which relies on its advanced industrial base and can build a 1,500-horsepower engine, other countries simply do not have the same technical capabilities, and the United States also takes another path and takes the road of gas turbines, while Britain, as an old industrial power, has also made great efforts to get it from their most advanced engine factory, Rolls-Royce.
1200 horsepower! This engine is a 12-cylinder structure, and a single cylinder can burst out 100 horsepower, which is the world's advanced level.
They don't plan to export at all, and they won't use it on Chivoltan, it's for their next generation of main battle tanks. Yesterday, Qin Zhenhua mentioned their 1,200-horsepower diesel engine, and he should have thought of it at that time, the other party was planning to ask for this kind of thing!
Now, the other party either said that they had no money to buy it, or they directly asked themselves to send them a few such diesel engines for testing, their faces are really big enough.
Qin Zhenhua said this sentence in English again, in fact, on this kind of negotiation occasion, it was not the turn of a young man like him to speak at all, but since the marshal of the other party, such a corporal of Lixian, came to talk to him, of course he had to talk endlessly and give full play to his role as a stunned young man.
This is indeed unplanned, but Qin Zhenhua believes that Commander Huang and Minister Zhu will be able to seize this opportunity. Now there is a shortage of everything in the country, engines, fire control, armor, etc., just finished talking about tank guns, and all of a sudden went around to the engine.
It is impossible for the other party to deny it.
After Qin Zhenhua's words were translated, Zhang Baolin was also bright-eyed, although he had not understood it in advance, but since he wanted to introduce it, he would have to introduce the most advanced in the world, the British had a 1200-horsepower engine, if he could introduce a few sets, he would also gain a lot if he took it apart and studied it.
This Qin Zhenhua, it's so strange, when he was on the plane, didn't he still hold on to his set of theories? I also theorized with myself, and now, all of a sudden, I want this most advanced diesel engine?
However, regardless of what he thinks, in short, it would be great if he could get it, so he couldn't help but open his mouth and echoed Qin Zhenhua's words: "Yes, it would be great if you could get a few tests!" ”
Since all his subordinates have spoken, Minister Zhu is also full of smiles, looked at the few people with frozen expressions on the opposite side, and said: "We have a good friendship with you, and now, we all have common enemies, so in terms of military equipment, we must work together and help each other, Marshal Cameron, I am not wrong, right?" ”
What kind of common help, obviously we are helping you, okay? Marshal Cameron did not expect that after he came, he had already negotiated the matter of forcing the 105mm tank gun to the other side, who would have thought that there would be such an unexpected wave, and now, he is already riding a tiger.
I knew that I wouldn't have talked to that young guy, this guy is definitely a character who can kick his nose in the face.
Marshal Cameron looked at Minister Zhu's face opposite, and could only nod: "That's right." ”
"Then let's ask you to provide us with a few tank engines of this model, let's test them, how about it? If we are satisfied with the results of the test, we will consider introducing technology. Minister Zhu said: "In order to achieve further development of our tank industry, we are also willing to smash the pot and sell iron." ”
Of course you are willing, but we are not willing!
The British knew in their hearts that they wanted to help the great powers of the East against the Soviet Union, but they could not let them get the most advanced technology, so in their sales plan, the main thing was to sell their backward equipment to the past.
If you look at history, it is true, and the various technologies that were later obtained from the British, such as the Spey engine, such as the planned Sea Harrier fighter, etc., are actually backward.
Marshal Cameron, thinking about how to refuse, must refuse, and must not lose politeness, can not make the other party disgusted, just when he was still thinking about it, Commander Huang on the side has already spoken: "That's right, we can't rely on five pairs of load-bearing wheels for a lifetime, our tank technology to progress, to develop, this engine, for us is too important, although we are poor, but when it should be imported, we must also import, by the way, Marshal Cameron, this is a major event related to our future confrontation with the Soviet Union, You won't say no, will you? I'm so glad today, we have reached so many cooperation intentions, we won't leave today, tonight, let's have a good drink, marshal, you must come too. ”
The expression on Cameron's face was uncertain, and now that the other party has said so, it is naturally difficult to refuse again. Moreover, the other party said in one breath now, not giving him a chance to answer at all.
"I propose, for the sake of our negotiations today, everyone quacks." Commander Huang was born in the army, and he chirped, that is the meaning of warm applause, and after speaking, he applauded first, so everyone else also applauded, and after applauding one after another, Marshal Cameron could not say anything.
The night breeze blows through the windows, carrying the warm current of the warm Mediterranean, although it is now winter in the northern hemisphere, but the winter here is not cold, and the people here have never experienced the cold of the winter on the Asian continent, so several European crusades to the east have finally failed in the severe cold of winter.
At this time, it was not yet time for the evening banquet to begin, Qin Zhenhua stood by the window, looking at this big city that had been shrouded in darkness until night, and there was a lot of emotion in his heart.
"Good job today." A soft voice came from behind him, and Commander Huang walked to his side: "In this way, we have finally achieved the expected goal, and there are additional gains." ”
Commander Huang remembered the first time he met Qin Zhenhua, when he was in the maintenance workshop of a machine factory, and the words at that time were still echoing in his mind, use your brain!
This kid takes this sentence as a classic, not only when he uses his brain when repairing tanks, but also in other aspects.
However, I heard Qin Zhenhua's sigh: "Where, if the things are not in our hands, then they are not ours, the words of the capitalists are not credible, and the politicians will only fool people." What they said today is that in terms of tank guns, it is only authorization, and as for the engine, it is just a reluctant nod. So, we need to prepare a little more. ”
Qin Zhenhua didn't think that everything would be fine in this way, since he had occupied a precious place, he had to play his own role.
"What preparation?" Commander Huang listened very carefully.
