The maintenance workshop of the Guangming factory is brightly lit.

Li Lu made a lot of money, he took out the two LC70 off-road vehicles that Mitsui Nohara gave him and sent them to the maintenance workshop for modification.

For this reason, he also invited Sun Jiangtao to be the main knife.

Undoubtedly, he is familiar with the battlefield situation, he has been on the front line for two years, and he has to recall carefully how many times he has entered and exited to get an accurate number, and he knows too well what the battlefield environment is like.

In order to absolutely guarantee the safety of the technical team accompanying the team, it is necessary to get the hardware up.

The two LC70s equipped with 4.5 displacement V8 diesel engines represent the most advanced automobile manufacturing level in the island country and even in the world. The 4.5-displacement V8 diesel engine is the latest model developed by Toyota, which represents the engine research and development level of the world automaker.

Therefore, it was given to Li Lu as a gift by Mitsui Nohara. Even if it's a brand new model like the LC80, he can't handle it.

According to the actual situation of the battlefield, the terrain and even the weather of the battlefield, Li Lu put forward dozens of improvement and modification requirements, Sun Jiangtao and his apprentices, meticulously according to Li Lu's requirements to modify the two LC70.

The reason why the LC80 is not used as the base car is because the LC80 is too large, and the tropical rainforest where the battlefield is located, there are many places where the width and length of the vehicle are very demanding, and it is difficult to pass in many places, and the LC80 has too many comfortable configurations, which are things that cannot be used in tactical operations, and they add weight to the vehicle.

The first is the body structure.

The experimental version of the lightweight armor steel had with terra nullius. At the front, side of the body and rear of the car, lightweight armored vehicles are used for retrofitting, giving the LC70 a certain amount of bulletproof ability. Li Lu's requirement was to be able to absorb most of the kinetic energy of the 12.7mm bullet, so as to minimize the damage to the occupants of the car. It is not so easy to withstand the firing of 12.7mm bullets. The first added weight overwhelms the engine and limits the vehicle's agility.

So there's a trade-off here.

Another is that the body is framed using a roll bar modeled after an off-road racing car. Li Lu even drew the chassis reinforcement kit commonly used in vehicle modification in later generations, and asked Sun Jiangtao to do it himself, adding such a set of things to each car, which greatly strengthened the sturdiness and stability of the chassis.

In addition to that, it is to equip two cars with weapons.

The car, which was mainly used to carry the technical group, focused on strengthening the defensive performance, except that a sunroof was opened on the roof and a 7.62 mm machine gun mount was installed, and the shooter stood in the car, and could shoot through the light machine gun mount on the sunroof, and if necessary, the light machine gun could be disassembled and carried on his back.

The Guangming Factory is engaged in tanks, and it is nothing to do such a modification. The roof was reinforced, the machine gun mount was installed, and more than half of the workers in the repair workshop could make it.

The other LC70, which served as a convoy, was armed to the teeth. Sun Jiangtao and the others almost welded the 59-tank 12.7-mm high-level dual-purpose heavy machine gun directly to the roof of the car, and then completely modified the passenger seat. First of all, the front windshield was originally split and could be folded forward, and a Type 56 light machine gun was installed in the passenger seat, and the shooter could shoot forward while sitting in the passenger seat. In the case of no need to use, it can be put away and the windshield can be pulled on, and it does not affect the function of windproof and rain.

Of course, in this process, Li Lu gave advice, and as long as he proposed a practice, there was nothing that Sun Jiangtao could not do.

This was not enough, on the trunk in the rear of the car, a machine gun tripod was welded directly through the floor and chassis, and another Type 56 light machine gun was installed there. The windshield of the rear door was changed to a lift-up type, and when lowered, the machine gun received a good shot without affecting the integrity of the vehicle.

With the addition of spare ammunition or something, the weight of this escort model LC70 has reached three tons, but it has not yet reached the point where it seriously affects mobility.

All this work was done in the Guangming Factory, including those weapons and ammunition, there were a lot of them in their own warehouses, their 130 mm caliber towed cannons, and many troops could only look at it and drool.

When Sun Jiangtao finished welding the last node and breathed a sigh of relief, Li Lu walked up to him and asked, "Master Sun, I'll drive out for a walk and try the car first, and then rectify it if there is a problem." ”

Unexpectedly, Sun Jiangtao said dissatisfiedly, "Xiao Li, what do you mean, you can't trust my grandson's craftsmanship?" ”

"No, after all, after such a major operation, the performance of the vehicle has to be tried." Li Lu hurriedly said, don't dare to scare this master.

Sun Jiangtao waved his hand and said, "Don't try it, the things that went out of my old grandson's hands have never been returned." I'm going to ask you kid, why don't you just get two tanks and drive over, is it necessary to toss like this? ”

Li Lu said silently in his heart, the two Asian Tiger tanks are not as suitable for this task as my two armed LC70 - this configuration is called the standard configuration of the Assault in Depth.

"Uncle Sun, I would like to, but the factory won't give it. As for these machine guns, I still had to grind my mouth for a long time before I came. Li Lu smiled helplessly.

Sun Jiangtao sighed and said, "I know that you came back from over there, and you are familiar with the situation over there." But no matter how these two cars are changed, they are not military-standard vehicles after all. Whether you can play the role you hope or not, you have to have a number in your heart. ”

Zhang Weiwei, who was beside him, said, "Master Sun, we are walking behind the butt of the tank regiment." After they finished fighting and started cleaning the battlefield, we went up to inspect it, or they simply pulled back the battle-damaged tanks and the technical team carried out the inspection. It's basically all in the back. Our section chief is only doing this just in case, to guard against some small forces that have infiltrated. ”

Sun Jiangtao nodded, patted Li Lu's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Li, your responsibility is very heavy in this mission. Remember your identity, protect the personnel is the main purpose, don't rush to the scene when the time comes. ”

Li Lu was moved in his heart, this little old man is usually very fierce, but his heart is very kind, he smiled, "Uncle Sun, don't worry, I will take them out with all beards and tails, and I will bring them back with all beards and tails." ”

"Well, you must come back safely, I'm still waiting for you to come back and help get our little army into the army." Sun Jiangtao said with a smile.

On July 15, the convoy departed.

Li Lu only brought two people, Zhang Weiwei and Zhao Xu, and there were four people in the technical group of the team, namely Wade, Liu Xiangyang, Rachel, and Niu Jun.

The composition of the technical team was strongly opposed by Li Lu, and among the four people, there were not only two women, but even a technical executive at Chrysler Defense. This is absolutely unacceptable, and a group of people who have an accident must be held accountable.

But!

Wade insisted on leading the technical group, and he even got the approval of Chrysler Defense's top brassing.

In this way, it is useless for the bright factory to oppose it.

The reason why Sun Jiangtao repeatedly told and reminded Li Lu was precisely because there was Wade in the technical group. Wade's identity is too special, he is not only the technical senior of Chrysler Defense Company, but also the brothers, sisters, uncles and uncles of the family are all cattle in the American political and business circles.

Wade, who served in the U.S. Army's equipment research and development department as a technician, is very aware of the importance of actual combat data to the development of weapons and equipment. Whether the combat indicators and performance of the Asian Tiger tank can cope with the current war intensity, and what problems will be exposed by the Asian Tiger tank in actual combat, the subsequent improvement should be carried out as follows.

In the absence of war, joint research by multiple parties is required.

And now, it only takes a few battles to pull it up, it's that simple.

Some people even say that in the 2003 Iraq war, the first purpose of the Americans was to deplete the stocks of their arsenals, and the second purpose was to test the combat capability of the equipment in service.

All in all, Wade believes that a real contest is more direct and reliable than dozens of scientists sitting in a research room for several years to do research and analysis.

That's why Wade insists on being on the front line, which can be seen as his professionalism as a technician.

As for Rachel, this is the best of the few female technicians on Chrysler's technical team. In her early thirties, she is tall and beautiful, and it is difficult for people to contact her that this is an artillery expert who is responsible for tracking and detecting the actual combat use data of the Asian Tiger tank artillery system.

The addition of Niu Jun is a very helpless choice - there is no suitable translation. She is the only one who has a basic understanding of technology and can communicate with Rachel skillfully. Li Lu was in charge of the security work, and it was difficult to be distracted to take care of this aspect. And Liu Xiangyang is half a bucket of water, but he is already the most skilled person in the technical department of Guangming Factory, except for Pei Lei.

In this way, the technical team is made up of two men and two women.

Li Lu originally wanted to pick two more people from the defense department, but after careful consideration, he abandoned this plan and chose to go to the battlefield instead, and asked the troops to send two scouts to join the escort group.

As a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for two years, he deeply understands a truth: a hundred recruits are not as good as an experienced veteran.

The Guangming Factory battlefield research team, armed to the teeth, was loaded onto the train board car along with the convoy of the tank regiment and drove all the way to the southwest.

The sound of rumbling wheels crushing the railroad tracks from day to night brought Li Lu back to the battlefield that had been absent for more than half a year. Staring at the dark silhouette outside the car window, he seemed to smell the smell of gunsmoke, and the further southwest he went, the stronger the atmosphere of the battlefield became, and his heart beat strongly.

Maybe he won't have a lot of confidence in doing business, but when it comes to fighting wars and engaging in intelligence work, he is undoubtedly a godfather-level figure in this era.

There was a sharp grinding sound between the wheels and the rails, the speed of the military train was slowly decreasing, and in the distance, there was a faint dim light. This is a unique indicator light after the light is controlled.

The southwestern border railway station arrived.

Electricity: There are many, many alliance leaders, many, many brothers to reward, slow down, and then present the hero list, no desire, only subscription and monthly pass.
