Chapter 429: M60

Then the caretaker of the tank graveyard came over: "Mr. Cahill, are you here?" ”

Cahill nodded and pointed to the three behind him: "These three are my friends, Mr. Trump, you should know." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The administrator nodded: "Of course I know, half of the properties in New York are developed by you, and the house where my family lives is the community you developed." ”

"This is Lin Qing!"

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

"This is Rikarn."

"Hello, Mr. Rikahn."

A few people briefly greeted each other and slowly walked into the Tanka cemetery.

After the initial shock, when he walked in to look at the tanks, Lin Qing found that these tanks were completely different from what he had just imagined, Lin Qing walked to the side and saw that these tanks were all scrap tanks, and the tanks could be seen to be rusty, and some weeds grew in the cracks.

Lin Qing walked forward, his brows furrowed deeper, obviously if these tanks were sold to him, he would not ask for any of them, there was no difference between these things and scrap products.

Cahill saw Lin Qing's worries and smiled: "Mr. Lin Qing, don't worry, these are the products of the Cold War, at that time, not only the Soviet Union carried out a large-scale weapons stockpile, but we in the United States are also always ready, you see this M1 tank, or the product of World War II." ”

Cahill patted Lin Qing on the shoulder after speaking, signaling that Lin Qing didn't need to worry, there was no problem with these tanks at all.

Lin Qing nodded, the end of World War II and the period of the Cold War were decades-long confrontation between the two major military organizations on this planet.

Every day of the year, every minute of the year, a variety of weapons are produced from the production lines of the major arms dealers, then sent to warehouses and other places, and finally mothballed.

However, as various weapons continue to be re-stocked every day, these things that were originally stockpiled accumulate more and more, and finally they are forgotten in the warehouse.

Like the former Soviet Union, the United States itself may not be able to remember that it built some war-ready warehouses during the Cold War, and some of them have been lost over time and slowly forgotten by the U.S. government in the torrent of history.

However, after the end of the Cold War, the Americans reopened their war readiness warehouses, and the president of the United States at the time was also stunned by the staggering amount of munitions stored in the warehouses.

After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, tens of billions of arms flowed from the underground arms market to the whole world, but the amount of arms sold by the United States through the "legal" means of selling arms for export is definitely more than the value of the arms secretly sold by the former Soviet Union.

But even so, there will be a surplus of munitions produced in the decades-long process of polarization and military readiness, even if everyone in the world is armed.

After the crazy arms of the United States are out of stock, there are still many remaining arms that have nowhere to go, so the destination of these weapons is the place like the tank graveyard in front of Lin Qing.

The further he went, the better the tanks Lin Qing saw, no longer the rusty appearance just now, at this time, but generally speaking, these tanks were still a little dilapidated, but compared to the tanks that Lin Qing saw at the gate that had become scrap iron, these tanks looked like they could at least be driven.

"These are some light tanks produced in the late Cold War, and although these tanks look rusty, they are almost all brand new, and they can be driven with a little maintenance." Cahill walked to the middle of the place, pointed to a large area of tanks in front of him that looked relatively new, and began to introduce them to Lin Qing.

"These are all M60 tanks?" Lin Qing looked at the tanks in front of him and asked curiously.

The M60 tank is the most important main battle tank of the United States during the Cold War, and it is also the fourth and last generation of the Patton series of tanks of the United States Army, which was the main battle tank of the United States in the thirty years from 1960 to 1990.

Cahill nodded: "Yes, these are all M60 tanks, and there are some improved models of the M60, we are different from the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union will have new models of tanks almost every few years, and once our tank technology is determined, it will always be used, unless there is a major technological update." ”

Lin Qing stroked the barrel of an M60 tank beside him, looking at this former war beast, this once popular tank that swept the world can only lie here like scrap metal, slowly waiting for his final fate as time passes.

"In the process we discussed before, you didn't mention these tanks, you just said M1a2 tanks, how do you sell these tanks?" Lin Qing became interested in these tanks, which had been eliminated.

Although these tanks look a little old, the weapons used are not very backward in the world, and the 105mm M68 rifled gun can still penetrate the armor of most national main station tanks.

The performance of this tank was quite superior, and the M60 tank had two failure times of 30 hours among tanks of its type, which was more than double that of the British main battle tank at that time.

The armor thickness of the tank is one hundred and fifty mm, which can resist the long-range shells of most tanks and many other points, of course, this tank also has its fatal shortcomings, because of the engine used problems, there are certain problems with the engine power used at the beginning, so this monomer has insufficient power.

However, one of the main drawbacks and the main reason why this tank was eliminated later, is that the body of this tank is really a bit high.

Trump walked up to Lin Qing's side: "My dear, Lin, these tanks are already eliminated tanks, what are we buying this for?" ”

Obviously, this real estate developer is very novice to the arms market, and in his eyes if weapons are eliminated, they should be thrown into the garbage.

Lin Qing smiled: "Mr. Trump, although these tanks have been eliminated in the United States, you have to remember that he has only been eliminated in the United States, and in the world, he is still a very popular weapon, I don't think Mr. Cahill will sell us at a very high price, because the United States still has a lot of M1A2 tanks to sell, these tanks have no way out for you except to sell scrap iron, believe me, in South America, these tanks can be sold at a higher price than the M1A2!" ”

Trump nodded after speaking, he didn't understand these things and just asked, not commented. (To be continued.) )
