Regarding Li Lu's experience, whether it is Niu Jun or Pei Lei, it is impossible to study.

The four of them sat at a table and talked while eating. Zheng Dongyun didn't know where to come out, greeted Pei Lei, and then said to Niu Jun, "Teacher Niu, there is no translator at our table, can you move over?" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the table next door, where people from the Guangming Factory and Chrysler Defense Company were also sitting together, and several technicians from the Guangming Factory project team only knew some simple English, and it was really difficult to communicate.

Pei Lei asked Niu Jun, "Teacher Niu, then ...... you?"

Niu Jun stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go to another table." ”

Zheng Dongyun hurriedly helped pull out the chair and invited Niu Jun over, and did not forget to glance at Li Lu with bad intentions, and raised his chin slightly with a cold snort on the corner of his mouth.

Pei Lei and Wade are still focusing on the guns used in the Asian Tiger tank. Li Lu's attention was on this, so he didn't pay attention to Zheng Dongyun's provocation for the time being.

Among the three major tactical indicators of the main battle tank, firepower is ranked first.

The willingness of the US side to come up with the NATO-standard M68E1 105mm rifled gun is enough to show their sincerity. However, Pei Lei's side hopes to obtain the technology of 120 mm guns. In fact, it is not their turn to engage in technical negotiations, but full contact at the bottom will be a good start.

From the chat with Wade, Li Lu learned that Wade's family background is not simple, and there are several senators and representatives in the family who are related to each other, and persuaded Wade to make him feel that it is necessary to provide 120mm smoothbore gun technology to Guangming Factory, which will be of great help to subsequent technical cooperation.

This is also the main content of Li Lu's quiet explanation of Pei Lei just now.

"The Warsaw Pact countries have begun to adopt tank guns of caliber of more than 120 mm, and although the 105 mm guns you provide are mature, they are still unable to compete with large-caliber tank guns. In the long term, we want to get the technology for 120-mm guns, even if it's a finished product. Pei Lei said.

Wade looked at Li Lu, who was pondering, came back to his senses, translated Pei Lei's words, and then added, "Of course, we know that your new main battle tank is still equipped with this 105mm gun, but according to the friendly cooperation plan, Rheinmetall's 120mm gun is within the scope of what is allowed. ”

With a wry smile, Wade said, "Lu, Mr. Lei said just now, you are not a technician, I am very strange, how do you know this, these are completely unknown to you, well, how to say it, or the relatively confidential development status of military equipment." ”

Li Lu smiled, "Mr. Wade, I don't think the 120mm tank gun produced by Rheinmetall is not news, right?" Just because we lack the opportunity to understand the current state of the world's defense equipment development does not mean that we do not have the means to learn about it. As for whether I'm a technician or not, it doesn't matter, you just need to know that the Asian Tiger project is very representative and important for both sides. ”

Wade read Li Lu's meaningful smile, and the political significance was greater than the military significance. Those are not things they should be thinking about, but they are at the heart of what they want to understand.

"Anyway, before the Abrams uses the 120mm gun, Congress will not allow the popularization of this gun." Wade said, "Well, to be exact, absolutely impossible. ”

Li Lu nodded, looked at Pei Lei, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Pei Gong, Wade is not perfunctory, the actual situation is true, we currently have no possibility of obtaining 120mm tank gun technology, not at all." ”

The 120 mm caliber tank gun has plagued the Chinese Army for many years, and there is a well-documented history, and it was not until 30 years later that the Chinese military personnel developed the 125 mm tank gun provided by Russia to develop the Huajia tank gun with independent property rights.

Pei Lei nodded regretfully, and said to Wade with a smile, "Although it is a pity, we are still willing to give full understanding." ”

Dishes came up one after another.

No matter how scarce the materials are, they will never show even a penny in entertaining foreign friends, and the Guangming Factory is self-sufficient, with a lot of money in hand, it is very simple to purchase some rare ingredients.

Li Lu ate the best meal since he crossed over, which was even better than the seafood dinner he ate during the Chinese New Year. The dry port is a coastal area, backed by a primitive mountainous area, with all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, birds and animals. Li Lu ate it all tonight.

His food will not look good.

Zheng Dongyun sat down beside Niu Jun for work, diligently picked up vegetables for Niu Jun, raised his chin to look at Li Lu, and whispered, "Teacher Niu, you eat slowly." Don't let some uneducated people affect your appetite. On diplomatic occasions, you look at his appearance, and he is embarrassed to throw himself to foreign friends. ”

Niu Jun blocked Zheng Dongyun's hand, endured the embarrassment, and said with a reluctant smile, "Director Zheng, don't clamp it, I'll do it myself." ”

Zheng Dongyun came back to his senses, and saw that several technical people at the same table looked at this side and didn't dare to laugh, glared at them, quickly withdrew his hand, and said to Niu Jun, "Okay, okay, then, Teacher Niu, you eat by yourself, eat more." You can't eat these at home, they are all specially purchased by the factory in order to entertain a team of foreign experts, and eat two more pieces of fatty meat. This is really good. ”

At a time when the population was severely undernourished, the craving for fatty meat with high fat reached an unprecedented height. In the countryside, if someone's dinner at night is a little fishy, it will be the same as the New Year. Lean meat is not welcome.

Niu Jun was uncomfortable. It is true that the table is full of things that many people crave to eat, but she doesn't have much appetite. Zheng Dongyun was close to her intentionally or unintentionally, and when he spoke, he was very close, and Niu Jun smelled a foul smell, which should be the smell of rotten teeth.

This state makes her have an appetite for food.

"Teacher Niu......" Zheng Dongyun came over again.

Niu Jun couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up after turning sideways and said sorry to everyone, "Comrades, I'm sorry, I'll go and make it convenient, and you eat slowly." ”

After speaking, he picked up the military satchel and left the dining hall in a hurry.

Zheng Dongyun looked at Niu Jun's back and was stunned, and then looked at the others, "This, what is Mr. Niu doing, I don't eat anymore." ”

The American personnel at the same table did not know what to do, and the technicians of the Guangming Factory did not hear Zheng Dongyun's words, and each ate his own meal.

Niu Jun walked out of the dining hall in one breath, only to take a heavy breath, looking up at the slowly setting sun in the west, she was all comfortable.

"What are you doing here, why don't you eat?"

A voice startled her.

Looking back, Li Lu was holding a large bowl and picking up food in his mouth as he walked, and his speech was a little slurred.

What kind of person is this, he actually came out eating with a sea bowl, so many foreign experts are watching!

It was a large bowl, larger than the average person's, with a mouth larger than an adult's finger joint, filled with small, spiky rice piled up with all kinds of vegetables, most of which were meat.

Li Lu walked over with it in his hand, swallowed the food in his mouth a few times, and then said, "Teacher Niu, are you not feeling well?" ”

Niu Jun rolled his eyes - this guy's eating appearance is really ugly enough.
