[184] 59-1 tank starts

"I will also buy 10 037 hunting submarines and 10 024 missile speedboats. In addition, about 50 torpedo boats will be bought. Xiao Qiang said.

"Torpedo boats?"

Yuan Kedi was happy when he heard it, and he was a little excited in his heart. At present, the two torpedo boat factories under the Navy are almost closed, and the reason is that there are really no orders to do it. As soon as the workers heard that they were going to be laid off, they blocked the factory gate all day long, and the impact of the disturbance was very bad. But there is no way, which country still needs this kind of thing of fighting bayonets at sea now? All are developing missile boats to replace torpedo boats.

The operation of the torpedo boat is really not complicated, relying on the speed of 50 and more than 90 kilometers per hour, and the fight depends on the word "brave". As soon as the fight begins, it is often three or five people who rush up side by side to beat them in groups. If you are lucky, a boat survives enemy fire and is inserted into torpedo range at high speed, then it will be a miracle to witness. As for whether the torpedo can escape after being launched, it will be another trip of great luck that is exactly the same as when inserting at high speed.

Historically, the new Chinese navy was the first to form combat effectiveness with simple torpedo boats, and the high-spirited torpedo boat brigades once relied on their iron will and revolutionary heroism to bring the power of torpedo boats into full play and created many outstanding feats! Fighting bayonets at sea, small boats fighting big ships, talking about torpedo boats.

But in modern warfare, the role of torpedo boats is no longer to risk death as assault ships. In these years, the battleship's close-in defense guns opened fire like pepper noodles, and the torpedo boat rushed over it was equivalent to a death squad, but the problem is, if you dare to die, people dare to bury it! Therefore, torpedo boats have gradually lost the function of fighting bayonets at sea. And why send torpedo boats with too low survival rates to carry fearless sea warriors to their deaths? With the rapid development of missile boats, torpedo boats are in a state of gradual extinction.

At present, the role of torpedo boats has shrunk to the point of being like patrol boats, and once a war starts, they can only fight the opponent's patrol boats or cargo ships. Of course, some small countries still regard torpedo boats as the main force. Counting on the dark night when the wind is high, and the waves are rushing and the rain is heavy, make a small and big.

Yuan Kedi couldn't hold back his excitement, and said quickly: "The prices of 037 submarine hunting and 024 missile speedboats remain the same as last time, 037 hunting submarines are 40 million yuan, and 024 missile speedboats are 27 million yuan, a total of 670 million yuan." ”

"At present, China's torpedo boats are mainly equipped with anti-submarine torpedoes, and towed sonar nets are used for anti-submarine warfare. What are you used for? Yuan Kedi asked quickly, the order for this torpedo boat was what he was most concerned about.

Xiaoqiang said honestly: "My customers mainly buy it for combat against enemy surface ships. ”

Yuan Kedi nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, the speed of the 6625 aluminum torpedo boat with hydrofoil can reach 54 knots, and it will give you 15 million, which is the price of a new ship, and half the price of an old ship." Type 026 steel torpedo boats also have hydrofoils, and the speed is slightly worse than 50 knots, and the new ship will give you 13 million a piece, and the old ship will be half price. ”

Xiaoqiang said with satisfaction: "This is really cheap, so let's do it, 20 old boats each." ”

Yuan Kedi pursed his lips disdainfully, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you buying the old one so cheaply, you also add some new ones, how about half new and half old?" "He's trying to find some work for the Navy's two torpedo boat factories."

Xiaoqiang said: "I want the old one, this kind of speedboat is no different from the old and the new." Actually, I'm interested in the four-engine torpedo boat of the 027 II-B Huzhou class, but this thing has been trial-produced in my country and there is no follow-up, otherwise I can order 20. ”

Yuan Kedi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Hello eyesight!" The 027 Type 2-B Huzhou-class torpedo boat is the only high-speed torpedo boat with a four-round torpedo carrier developed by China, which can form a fan-shaped attack surface with a single launch, and the hit rate is much higher than that of the double-tube torpedo boat. However, because of the way for missile speedboats, this model was not mass-produced, but as long as you order more, we can arrange production for you. ”

Xiaoqiang hesitated and said, "How much more should you set?" What's the price? ”

Yuan Kedi's squinted eyes opened suddenly, and he took out an index finger and said decisively: "One hundred, count you 20 million." ”

Xiaoqiang was taken aback, he really wanted this thing, but he didn't know the bottom of his heart to do so much, although there were at most two or three hundred torpedo boats in my country in history, but this thing is not the mainstream trend after all, but it is just in line with the strategy of "how fast and good to save".

"Less, cheaper. A hundred is too many. Xiao Qiang said.

Yuan Kedi thought for a moment, stretched out his thumb and index finger and said:

"Eighty, hurry up, this is a new ship! The price can't be moved! However, the drawings of the above three torpedo boats can be given to you for free. ”

Xiaoqiang was also refreshing, and said:

"Deal! However, there is one condition, sell me a full set of equipment and jishu materials from a torpedo boat factory. ”

Yuan Kedi was so happy that he almost stood up, and said loudly:

"Okay! I'm up for it. ”

In this way, the total price of the purchase of torpedo boats has reached 1.88 billion. and the supplementary purchase of the 037 hunting submarine plus the 024 missile speedboat, with a total price of 2.55 billion.

The beauty in Yuan Kedi's heart, not to mention the smooth sale of old goods, but also for the two torpedo boat factories of the Navy to take an order of eighty at once, which is at least enough to eat for several years. With this buffer period, the two factories should be able to successfully complete the later shutdown transformation, right? If such a fat order can't save these two factories, then damn it, bury it, and the state has done its best.

"My customers are very satisfied with the 271 medium landing craft, and generally reflect that this boat is big enough, and it is very convenient to install artillery or vehicles, my customers want to buy more this time, last time they bought 7, and then 93, make up a hundred!" Xiaoqiang knows that there are at least 500 271s in our army, and they are the main ships of our army's landing, so this amount is not a problem.

Yuan Kedi was frightened, and said in his heart that Africa is a proper way to fight a large-scale war? The tactics are quite advanced, prepare for amphibious operations, and go deep into the hinterland!

"This was originally 10 million, since you bought a lot, then even if you have 9 million, cut off the fraction, and count you as a total of 830 million."

Xiaoqiang nodded and agreed.

"Send me four more minesweepers, right?"

Yuan Kedi replied: "The four 6605 that I gave you last time are the four left by Zuihou, which are too old, and now the navy itself has no 6605." Since you still want it, then take the four 082 river harbor minesweepers, these are the four 082 basic minesweepers launched in 87, and you will post 10 million each. ”

Xiaoqiang nodded and agreed.

"I think it's almost over this naval procurement, General Yuan, let's have a meal first, and let's continue to discuss it in the afternoon." Xiaoqiang proposed.

Yuan Kedi's big sale was refreshing all morning, and he was also very hungry, so he said happily: "My hotel has been booked in advance, come on, let's have a good drink today, Xiao Li, go get a bottle of good wine." ”

At noon, he drank violently, where is Xiaoqiang the opponent of Yuan Kedi and Li Mubai, he didn't drink or drink, and he was already two o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the conference room of the Ministry of State, Yuan Kedi looked at Xiaoqiang's eyes a little straight, and said in his heart that this is in a good state, and it is very suitable for striking while the iron is hot.

"Xiaoqiang, don't you think you have bought something less? Don't your customers have a demand for tanks? Yuan Kedi nodded with a smile.

Xiao Qiang was stunned: "General Yuan, how do you know that I am going to discuss the purchase of tanks in the afternoon?" You're right, my customer wants tanks, and they want a tank production line, they want a complete set. ”

Yuan Kedi said with a look of exhaustive strategy: "That's right, the army doesn't have tanks, it's like a child without a mother these days, and he will be bullied everywhere." China has always been a major producer and exporter of tanks, and it can not only train tank crews on its behalf, but also send instructors to guide tactics. We have quite a few customers in Africa. ”

Xiao Qiang straightened his eyes and said: "I know this, don't sell me any Type 98 main battle tanks or MBT-2000 or anything, I want cheap ones, Type 59 tanks." ”

Yuan Ke said hostilely: "I know that your kid still has the number of ways to collect old goods." ”

"That's okay, there are many improvements to the Type 59 tank in our country, and they are basically based on the Type 59-1. It depends on your needs. Yuan Kedi said cautiously.

Xiao Qiangqiang said directly: "I don't need to improve too much, 59-1 I think it's very good, add an automatic ammunition feeder, and then hang some ceramic armor, it's very stylish." ”

Yuan Kedi persuaded: "This is good, but the main gun 100mm caliber smoothbore gun you see if you can change it, 120mm or 125mm is better, we have many customers have used larger caliber guns, after all, the current tank protection capabilities on Shijie are improving." ”

Xiao Qiangxin said that the 100mm smoothbore gun was enough in 1950, and the "Pershing" M26 heavy tank of the US army during the Korean War was not only 90mm caliber. Then he pricked and said: "No, my country only wants quantity, 59-1 is very good, I hope to be able to package and purchase a large number of them, and buy them together with the production line." ”

Yuan Kedi understood what Xiaoqiang meant, and said in his heart that your kid has a rough way. He said with a smile: "That's okay, there are no less than 4,000 Type 59 tanks in various modifications in China, and there are about 400 59-1 tanks that have not been modified in the domestic troops, and some of them are used as training vehicles in various colleges and universities and target vehicles in the shooting range." If you don't take them all, you will be counted as three million for one car, and each car will be equipped with five base shells of various types. ”

Xiaoqiang said with satisfaction: "Enough, I want all of these, you equip the accessory box of each car with track anti-slip thorns." Plus, you calculate how much a full tank production line costs. ”

Yuan Kedi was strange, and said in his heart, what do you African countries want Nima crawlers to do with anti-slip thorns? Your customers will never see snow and ice in their lifetime, right? However, the customer's request was naturally satisfied, so he agreed.

Yuan Kedi said: "The production line is calculated according to the production line of the 59 tank improved version that my country exported to a certain country in the Middle East not long ago, and the price of that line is 30 million US dollars." ”

Although Xiao Qiang drank a few more glasses, he was not stupid, and immediately said: "The tank configuration produced by the Middle East Hawker should be much stronger than that of the 59-1, so it has to be cheaper no matter what you say." ”

Yuan Kedi didn't deny it, so he said: "Then 25 million US dollars, you just give me 160 million yuan." ”

Xiaoqiang agreed, and continued to ask: "I also need some trench excavators, as well as boat bridge transport vehicles for the boat bridge troops." ”

Yuan Kedi and Li Mubai and Xiaoqiang carefully calculated the prices of these engineering vehicles, plus the accessories and ammunition of all kinds of equipment purchased today, which is nearly 100 million yuan.

When it was close to dinner time, the two sides negotiated the details of the entire purchase, with a total price of 12.7 billion yuan.
