After giving a detailed account of the artillery models, Wade emphasized that Chrysler Defense had made great efforts to persuade Congress to approve the diffusion of the tank gun. The words convey one meaning - we are very sincere.

He glanced at the conference room and continued, "In terms of power, in the original plan, as we all know, we planned to use an 8V-92TA 8-cylinder diesel engine manufactured by Detroit Diesel. In the past few days, we have worked closely with the Chinese personnel to study and demonstrate, and it has been proved that this type of diesel engine is difficult to meet the demand and cannot meet the tactical indicators proposed by the Huaxia side. ”

Got to the point.

The technicians of the Guangming Factory have pricked up their ears, and the power problem is also very important, and the diesel engine for high-horsepower vehicles will even plague the Chinese military personnel for more than 20 years.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the good news is that we made our application, it went well, and our application was approved." Wade said, smiling happily.

The participating technicians from both sides stood up happily and high-fived each other in celebration.

Li Lu was also a little surprised, this news was beyond his expectations.

Pei Lei patted Li Lu's shoulder heavily and said, "Xiao Li, the application for power replacement has been approved, right?" ”

I couldn't understand Wade's words, Li Lu didn't have time to translate, but Pei Lei saw this scene and naturally made a judgment.

"That's right." Li Lu came back to his senses and said, "In other words, the United States agreed that the West German company would join the Asian Tiger tank project. ”

He controls his emotions and doesn't let himself stand out too much.

And Pei Lei, who didn't realize that this was a breakthrough, was just excited to be able to get more horsepower diesel engine technology.

Wade showed a trace of regret on his face and said, "For some reason, Detroit Diesel Engine Company cannot provide a higher horsepower diesel engine for the Asian Tiger Tank project in a short period of time, but the Asian Tiger Tank project cannot affect the progress because of power problems." After multi-party communication and coordination, West German Mercedes-Benz joined the Asian Tiger Tank project, and their subsidiary MTU will provide the most suitable power plant for the Asian Tiger Tank, and even include a complete set of propulsion system solutions. ”

Li Lu sighed lightly, and after finishing the translation, he whispered to Pei Lei, "Pei Gong, it seems that the above has made a lot of determination in order to obtain advanced technology. Our country's limited foreign exchange is probably stretched. ”

"The phenomenon of a serious shortage of foreign exchange has long appeared, why does the above regard earning foreign exchange as the most important thing to do, and rise to a political level." Pei Lei also felt heavy, "The documents of the main factory are kept in the director's office, if the Guangming Factory can get back 10 million US dollars of foreign exchange a year, the main factory will strive to keep the Guangming Factory in the military industrial system." ”

Li Lu knew very well in his heart that the Guangming Factory was finally handed over to the locality, and no matter how hard he tried, he probably couldn't change the fact that this will happen next year - at this time, local economic construction is above everything else, and the army must be patient without limits.

One thing is for sure, with the addition of Daimler-Benz in West Germany, there will no longer be any problems with the power system, travel system, and suspension system of the Asian Tiger tank. What Huaxia has to pay here is undoubtedly more money.

All the efforts are worth it, and all the technologies that can be obtained now are not measured by money for China's national defense science and industry system.

As for the MTU company under Daimler-Benz, it is even more thunderous. MTU and Detroit Diesel Engine Company of the United States are known as the world's two largest diesel engine manufacturers, and MTU Company's comprehensive strength is above that of Detroit Diesel Engine Company.

The diesel engines produced by MTU are used in small civilian cars and large ships of 10,000 tons, including construction machinery and railway locomotives, with power ranging from 35 kilowatts to 9,000 kilowatts. The vast majority of the world's main battle tanks use MTU series diesel engines, including West Germany's Leopard 2 series main battle tanks and Britain's Challenger 2 main battle tank series.

"Ladies and gentlemen, once the contract is signed, the deputy chief engineer of Daimler-Benz will personally lead a technical team from its MTU company to come here, and then join the Asian Tiger project team. The relevant prototypes will also be shipped in time, and we will carry out relevant tests on the prototype vehicles. So, ladies and gentlemen, please keep your work going. ”

Wade finished his speech and stepped down from the stage.

He sat on the other side of Li Lu and nodded to Pei Lei with a smile, and Pei Lei came to the stage to start making specific work arrangements. The Guangming plant is mainly responsible for the chassis and armor part, and the chassis includes the suspension system, which is also inseparable from the technical support of Chrysler Defense.

Li Lu easily translated Pei Lei's speech to Wade, and talked with Wade to understand the joining of Daimler-Benz, he said, "West Germany joined the Asian Tiger Tank Project, is it only MTU as an engine supplier, or Daimler-Benz is leading the joining?" ”

Wade smiled and said, "Daimler-Benz is leading the way." They are going to transfer heavy truck technology to your NORINCO industry. After facing the power problem of the Asian Tiger, the engines of several companies were considered, and it just so happened that Daimler-Benz had cooperation with NORINCO, and their MTU engine company was very powerful, and after negotiations, they chose their diesel engines. road, which is a very good choice. In your words...... A blessing in disguise. ”

"Well, Wandefu!" Li Lu said with a smile.

Only then did he remember the cooperation between Daimler and NORINCO, and the heavy-duty trucks purchased from Daimler-Benz had been operated by the Wehrmacht for more than 30 years in another time and space, and were still in service in the 21st century. The heavy-duty trucks produced using the technology transferred by Daimler-Benz are in service with the troops in large quantities, and the reputation is very good.

"MTU Company ......" Li Lu muttered softly, his mind flooding out.

When he was planning to build a tractor factory, he didn't have several well-known engine manufacturers in the world in his mind, but they were all flowers in the mirror, and he didn't have the opportunity to contact them at all. This is different, people, technology, and machinery will all be close at hand, and it is impossible not to move the mind.

Even if you have a military technology arsenal in your head, without a foundation, everything is empty talk. The advanced technologies in his mind that surpass this era are destined to be taken out slowly, otherwise they will not work at all.

Thinking about it, Li Lu thought of Mitsui Nohara and Jack. Mitsui Nohara is not easy to deal with, Jack is too familiar with him, he dares to conclude that Jack will definitely do what he is told, but he doesn't know how Jack's guy is doing.
