Chapter 250: The British Pit the Filipinos' Weapons
Lin Qing has now come to the middle ship, that is, the third ship, he didn't know that after he left, there was a fierce quarrel on the freighter behind him, and when stealing the goods, Lin Qing also forgot that these things still have weight, forgot about this matter, and didn't expect that the tonnage of the freighter would change so much after he left.

Lin Qing stole dozens of tanks on the fourth freighter, and some miscellaneous cargoes, the Challenger 1 tank reached fifty tons of its own weight, Lin Qing stole them all, if it weren't for the buoyancy problem, maybe the weight of the ship would have been reduced by a thousand tons.
When Lin Qing slowly landed on the third and middle freighter, the entire wheelhouse was brightly lit, and Lin Qing had to carefully hide in a hidden position in front of the deck, waiting for the lights to go out.
A few people in the cockpit were arguing loudly about something with a dozen people in the cockpit, even Lin Qing, who was far away, could hear the slightest sound through the night wind.
"Captain, I think it's probably because we're about to get to the Mediterranean, so the Nami's freighter will be lighter, right?"
"No, I think it's probably because something was attached to the bottom of the Nami before, and I often run to ocean-going freighters, and the bottom of the ship will be more or less attached to shellfish and some fish, and whales will also have them, I've seen them!"
Several crew members are discussing the issue of ship No. 4 fiercely, this time the fleet of the Philippine freighter is affiliated with a shipping company, so they are quite familiar with each other, and the relationship is relatively good, so whoever has a problem with each other will be related to each other.
"Even barnacles and the like can't be a thousand tons, and if it's a problem with the density of the sea, why hasn't the weight of our ships changed?"
"I think it might be a curse from the god of the sea!"
"I think ・・・・・・"
A group of people argued for a long time, and did not say a single reason, and finally slowly dispersed after about ten minutes, and when they left, they were persuading each other to believe in their own theories, but the result was not good.
The captain of the third ship informed the crew of the fourth ship's suspicions, and finally decided to wait for the ship to arrive at Port Said and carry out an instrument overhaul to see if there was a problem with the instrument.
In order to ensure that there would be no accidents, Lin Qing had been hiding in a dark corner and remained motionless, like a statue, and some dark clouds appeared in the sky, blocking part of the moonlight, for Lin Qing, this was very good news, he didn't have to worry about his shadow underground.
After confirming that a large part of the people in the cockpit of the freighter had left, and no one had gone to check the containers, the lights in the wheelhouse slowly dimmed, and then slowly came out of the darkness, thinking about why the crew of this ship did not rest so late.
Lin Qing doesn't know now, because he ransacked the fourth freighter relatively cleanly, which caused a deviation in tonnage, and the entire freighter fleet is suspicious, after all, the ocean is still more afraid of gods and ghosts, and there are still legends of drifters, ghost ships and krakens in the Atlantic, once there is something that cannot be explained by common sense, the crew will go to the gods and ghosts.
Carefully touching the container area, Lin Qing hoped that his good luck would continue tonight, but when he was in the first box, there was a disappointed expression on his face.
Most of the third freighter was loaded with rifles and firearms, and Lin Qing opened more than a dozen containers in a row, all of which were neatly arranged rows of British standard weapons, SA80 automatic rifles.
It would not be wrong to say that he was a British standard weapon, but it was a former British standard rifle, which has now been eliminated and replaced by the L85A1 assault rifle.
SA80 was born in a famous family, from the world-famous firearms family Enfield Weapon System, but it has almost no advantages, and some are just endless shortcomings due to poor performance, poor performance, poor accuracy, poor stability, poor environmental adaptability, and too heavy gun body.
Not to mention some spare parts, according to British media reports, during the Gulf War, the British Ministry of Defense and the arms company received a total of nearly half a million letters cursing this damn rifle, and a soldier wrote letters cursing the Ministry of Defense and the design company every day from the beginning of his entry into Iraq until the end of the war.
What's even more bizarre is that this rifle is so poor in adaptability to the environment that it can barely withstand the wind and sand in Iraq, and finally the British Ministry of Defense purchased 500,000 condoms and distributed them to each infantryman, so that they can put them on the muzzle of the SA80 to resist the invasion of wind and sand.
As a result, the fame of this rifle spread all over the world, and there is no one of the worst rifles in the world.
After less than five years of service, the British revised this gun and extended many rifle models, but in the end they were still unable to make a decent rifle, and finally gritted their teeth and decided to change the outfit, and the British standard equipment changed from SA80 to L85A1.
You must know that these weapons have experienced less than ten years from installation to reloading, which is a very long life for a standard weapon.
And the nearly half a million SA80s that have been reloaded have not found any buyers, and it is clear that the whole world knows this worst rifle, and no one wants to be the culprit.
So these SA80s were mothballed, strictly speaking, the SA80 is not so bad, but it is not very adapted to the desert terrain, and as a result, it accidentally became the worst rifle in the world, and the British also know this problem, and have been trying to sell these rifles to American countries for so many years, but no one has wanted them.
However, after the Philippine government came this time, after wanting to buy a batch of rifles, my mind immediately turned, and the first thing I thought of was the SA80, which had been sealed in the warehouse for more than ten years.
Filipinos don't know much about rifles, this is not a joke, to be precise, the country of the Philippines is clamoring every day, in fact, its own strength is pitiful.
If you know the standard equipment of the Philippine troops, you will know how bad their military strength is, why did Lin Qinghui occupy the island of Palawan so easily, and some recruits who have been trained for less than three months can defeat the regular army of the Philippines.
Most of the equipment of the Philippines, a strange country, is using the weapons of World War II, not only their warships stay at the level of World War II, the aircraft stay at the level of the late World War II, their infantry equipment also stays at the level of World War II, Lin Qing's Palawan Free Army used the equipment of World War II when it fought with the Philippine government army before.
There are a total of four rifles in this strange national standard, of which the M1 Garand rifle is the most widely used rifle in the Philippine Army.
Many people in the world know this rifle, even if they are not military fans, they will have heard of this classic rifle of World War II, the standard equipment of the Yankees of World War II, following the pace of the Yankees resounded all over the world, and during the Korean War, the Yankees used this classic rifle, which began to be developed in October 1919 and was officially finalized in 1935.
This rifle went through World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and then when the Americans retired from the Vietnam battlefield, because the cost of bringing it back was higher than making a new rifle, they generously gave these guns to the Filipinos who were still using the Japanese World War II remnants.
The Yankees donated a large number of second-hand rifles to the Philippine army free of charge, and the Philippines began to install M1 Garand rifles on a large scale, eliminating the 38 big covers whose performance was far worse than the Garand rifle, and the military strength was considered to have made great progress at that time, when this rifle was not outdated, and was still active in various battlefields in the world.
Of course, the Philippines not only has this old-fashioned rifle, but also has some relatively new equipment, in addition to the M1 Garand rifle, there are a large number of CAR-15 in the Philippine Army, although the life of this rifle from Israel is not as old as the M1 Garand, but it is also produced in 1959, and it has a history of almost 50 years, and a large number of soldiers in the Philippine Army have CAR-15 in their hands and their parents are about the same age.
As a sovereign country, the Philippine government doesn't want to be too embarrassed, so in addition to the two old-fashioned weapons, the Philippine army also has a more advanced weapon, the Steyr AUG assault rifle, this rifle may not be known to many people what it is.
But he has another resounding name, CS he is called the eye snake, but this rifle is "expensive" in the Philippine army only a part of the special forces can be used, used as a façade, Lin Qing's information shows that it seems that the presidential guard is also used this weapon, but this weapon is not widely equipped in the Philippine army, and most Filipino soldiers do not know that there is this kind of cash rifle in their troops.
In addition, the Philippine army is also equipped with the M1903 Springfield rifle, if the previous Gardland rifle is a grandfather-level weapon, this weapon that began to be produced in 1903 is an ancestor-level weapon, of course, this is not a Japanese weapon, although the name is very similar to a Japanese weapon, but it is an authentic American product, a weapon of World War I.
There are still a certain number of Philippine troops, some garrisons and some guard units that are not geographically important are equipped with this weapon, and this ancestor-level weapon is older than the age of the Philippines. (To be continued.) )
