Chapter 33 Sharpshooter Eighty-one Bar
[33] Sharpshooter eighty-one bar
Xiaoqiang woke up and found that it was only half past six, so he leaned on the head of the bed and lit a cigarette. As soon as he got up, he felt an impulse in his body that was difficult to quell, and he stared at the exquisitely decorated ceiling, suppressing the firmness that the morning brought to men. It took a while to calm down the urge and desire. When the curtains were opened, the snow-white morning light shone in, and the room suddenly became brighter, dispelling the little sleepiness left in my heart.
Xiaoqiang turned on the 50-inch LCD TV on the wall of the living room and tuned to the CCTV news channel, entered the bathroom while brushing his teeth and washing his face while listening to the TV, the toothpaste on the washstand was still the two-sided needle brought from the rental house, the half-tube of toothpaste has not been used up yet, the fat front end and the deflated back are like the comparison between Xiaoqiang's today and yesterday.
After washing up, I went downstairs and drove to eat breakfast, and the taste of soy milk fritters seemed to be different from before, and Xiaoqiang felt that it was more refreshing.
It was already half past nine when he came to the Ministry of National Defense*, and Xiaoqiang waited for General Yuan and Li Mubai to come out in the reception room covered with a light blue tablecloth as usual. Who would have thought that there would be one more lieutenant general who would come out to pick up Xiaoqiang, and after Li Mubai introduced Xiaoqiang, he learned that this is General Huahui Linghua, deputy minister of the equipment department of our army.
General Hua had a pair of frameless silver alloy thin eyes, and the temples exposed under the military hat he was wearing were gray, he smiled and shook hands with Xiao Qiang, and his elegant temperament made Xiao Qiang involuntarily feel close.
"Hello Mr. Cao, I've admired the name for a long time, recently I said that we have a God of Wealth in the Equipment Export Bureau, I'm still thinking about what you look like, I saw it today and found out that the hero is a teenager." General Hua politely pulled Xiaoqiang with homely cooking, and the three of them walked towards the conference room while talking.
General Hua told Xiaoqiang that the form of gold trusteeship has been reported to the superior leaders, and the leaders have approved this model, and there is no need to worry about it in the future, and this form is completely acceptable.
Xiao Qiangxin said no, it was gold, it was hard currency, much more reliable than Shenma dollars and the like.
Everyone sat down in the conference room, and the secretary hurriedly came over to make the tea, Xiaoqiang could eat this tea tasted good, it was two or three hundred and one catties of ordinary green tea.
General Hua didn't look at the cup in front of him, and asked directly:
"Xiaoqiang, I have a question for you. Do you plan to report this arms purchase to the United Nations? ”
Xiaoqiang knows that according to the regulations, arms transactions must be reported to the United Nations for the record. However, this provision is basically set for those weapons that cannot be concealed on the surface, and where can they report the rampant underground arms trade in Shijie. How can the various arms deals made by the five permanent hooligans be brought to the fore, and the various small countries and armed organizations are even more secretive and will not expose their own family backgrounds.
It can be said that all reported arms exports are of an advertising nature.
The seller's meaning is, "Look, my weapons are very advanced, very good and cheap, and country XX has bought a lot of them, as a neighbor of country XX, you have to beware of him beating you, if you don't want to be threatened by him, why don't you buy some and try it?" ”
The buyer means "I bought this bear thing is very powerful, I will be a person in stock from now on, haha, don't mess with me, I am a man in stock......"
Xiaoqiang replied: "We do not want to report, these weapons will be secretly shipped to my customers, I hope you will not monitor and obstruct the transportation process." ”
When General Hua heard Xiao Qiang say this, he breathed a sigh of relief. This arms deal cannot be called of any quality at all, and people will laugh at it when it is spread out, saying that China is still exporting such low-end goods, which is simply a trick. On the other hand, it will be accused and framed by some countries with ulterior motives, smearing our country, and adversely affecting Shijie's security. In fact, people have this demand and funds, you don't sell it to him, and some others are rushed by the state to sell to him, who has an enmity with money! A certain country that accuses other countries of exporting weapons to undermine peace is in fact the world's largest arms dealer, and it sells arms all over the world, both openly and covertly, for fear that the world will not be chaotic.
General Hua said with satisfaction: "The purchase amount is relatively large, we and you can get benefits from it, it can be described as a win-win situation, we hope to keep in close contact with you, and there can be more cooperation in the future." ”
Next, General Hua handed over to Xiaoqiang the special exchange cheque book of the People's Bank of China, with which Xiaoqiang could make convenient payments, and the expenses would be deducted from the gold held by Xiaoqiang. The conversion price is the latest price of the People's Bank of China every week, the price is in line with international standards, basically according to the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange after the average conversion of the RMB to the US dollar exchange rate, the current quotation is 298.22 yuan, although it is three to five percent lower than the black market price, but fortunately, there is no need to worry about the transaction risk, the black market gold trading is illegal after all, and the trading volume of Xiaoqiang is particularly large, so it will bear a lot of risk.
In fact, even in the United States, which advertises false freedoms, citizens are not allowed to trade precious metals such as gold and silver anywhere except the precious metals market. The precious metals market is a place where only big capital, big consortia and big financial companies can get trading licenses. The minimum trading unit there is not a few tens of grams or hundreds of grams that ordinary people can bear, and just the trading reserve is not something that ordinary citizens can take.
In fact, China's supervision in this regard is much looser than that of the United States, and the United States is really using harsh laws to keep people as livestock for profit. Ordinary people want to abandon the dollar and hoard precious metals to prevent accidents, which must not be allowed to happen by the big capitalist financial consortium on Wall Street!
Xiaoqiang took the checkbook, but put forward a new procurement request.
"My client also wants to purchase army equipment."
When General Hua heard this, he said goodbye to Xiao Qiang with a smile, and asked General Yuan and Xiao Qiang to continue to negotiate the procurement of army equipment.
Out of the conference room, General Hua smiled and said to himself: "What a big deal." ”
General Yuan is very happy, in his eyes Xiaoqiang has simply become the God of Wealth, this navy, land and air force procurement, our army can not only eliminate a large number of backward equipment, but also use funds to place new orders to military factories, a large number of new equipment, speed up the process of national defense modernization.
You must know that because the military factories are state-owned, there is a big difference between the export price of China's weapons and the purchase price for self-use, and the price for self-use is quite cheap, which is also the reason why the export of arms is called the most profitable business.
If there is an additional military expenditure from the export of decommissioned weapons and equipment, it will help the country save a lot of future refitting costs.
Xiaoqiang knew that after the start of the Korean War, my country imported the first batch of equipment for 36 divisions to the Soviet Union, namely:
140,000 Soviet-style rifles and 58 million rifle bullets;
26,000 Soviet-style automatic guns and 80 million rounds of automatic gun ammunition;
7,000 Soviet-style light machine guns and 37 million light machine gun bullets;
2,000 Soviet-style heavy machine guns and 20 million rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition;
1,000 pistols for pilots and 100,000 pistol bullets for pilots;
TNT 1000 tons of explosives.
It is basically full of light weapons, and there are only 2,000 heavy machine guns to provide fire support, which can only equip two infantry divisions today.
Xiaoqiang made up his mind to replace the old Soviet-made weapons with the super evolved version of the AK47, the Bayi Gun Family, so that the infantry firepower of our army would leap to a new level and overwhelm the infantry of all countries at that time in one fell swoop. The speed of 600-750 rounds per minute of the Bayi automatic rifle was absolutely overwhelming for the standard equipment of the US military at that time, the M1-Garand rifle, which could only shoot a single shot, was 80 rounds per minute. The alternating firing of two Bayi automatic rifles can suppress a bunker fire point, thus giving the bazooka or demolition squad time to attack and blast.
This was true even against the Thompson submachine gun of the American army. Thompson, who has 225-300 rounds per minute, has an effective range of only 200 meters, and has no chance to fire at all against the Bayi Bar, which has an effective range of 400M (single target) to 500M (cluster target).
You must know that the warhead of the Bayi automatic rifle can still penetrate 400mm of A3 steel plate when it flies to 8M! 15 cm thick brick wall, or 40 cm thick wooden plank, 30 cm rock and soil layer, 40 cm loose soil layer! Warheads within 2000m are lethal!
This means that if the enemy hides behind a wall or behind a tree, he will inevitably be killed, injured or even killed!
"I want 100,000 81 bars and 1 billion rounds of ammunition." Xiaoqiang said.
General Yuan was taken aback, good guy, is this going to be a war or not?
Let's fight, let's fight, is there still less place for this shijie to fight? I'll make a quote. General Yuan hurriedly replied:
"The allocation price of each eighty-one bar is 840, I will give you the allocation price, I don't earn a penny for you, I guarantee that the new gun accounts for at least 5 percent, that is, the retired old storage gun, I will also replace you with a new barrel, the bolt is guaranteed to be eighty percent new, how about it?"
"Okay."
"The bullet is five cents and 7 cents per shot, which is 570 million, plus the 100,000 Bayi bars with a total price of 84 million, that is 654 million." General Yuan quickly calculated the price.
"10,000 Bayi light machine guns." Xiaoqiang felt that the light machine gun did not need much, except that it could fire 300-500 rounds at a time, which was stronger than that of an automatic rifle with 30 rounds, the other data were basically the same.
"The allocation price is 1320 per piece, or according to the allocation price, to ensure that 5 percent is a new product. The total price is 13.2 million. "General Yuan calculated quickly.
Xiaoqiang's only slight worry now is the bayonet ability of the Bayi Bar, the previous Type 56 can fight the enemy with a bayonet on a three-edged stab, while the Bayi Bar's bayonet is a detachable dagger with a blade of 17 cm long.
In fact, as early as 1979, in the early days of the development of the Type 81 gun family, there was still some debate about whether the bayonet was taken off the gun. Those who advocate the courage of the bayonet are opposed to taking it, but there are few opportunities to fight in modern warfare, and although the bayonet is still needed, it has to be multi-functional. Zuihou's conclusion: a bayonet is a kill, and when loaded into a gun is a bayonet, unloaded as a dagger. So the Type 81 bayonet doubled as a dagger, but it had no other functions.
The 56 semi-automatic rifle and the later improved Type 56 submachine gun were equipped with a three-edged bayonet, which could not be dismantled, but could only be folded, and had only a single assassination function, which increased the additional weight of the gun. Therefore, Xiaoqiang felt that if he used a firepower suppression weapon like the Bayi Bar in 1949 to emphasize fighting bayonets, then it would be a bit dereliction of duty as a commander.
The bayonet of the 81 bar is a separate part, consisting of a bayonet, a scabbard, and a lanyard. The blade is sword-shaped, 170 mm long, and does not have a cutting edge. The two sides of the bayonet have longitudinal reinforcing tendons, which have concave blood grooves on both sides and are plated with milky chrome. The handle is brown plastic. The bayonet has a total length of 300 mm and a weight of 0.22 kg. The scabbard is an army green plastic shell and weighs 0.072kg.
The rigidity of the knife is excellent, and although the original design was not a multifunctional bayonet, combat units often used the bayonet for digging, planing, climbing, prying open cans, etc.
At least in terms of multi-purpose use, the bayonet of the 81 bar is more effective than the three-edged stab. Xiaoqiang believes that the experience of countless veterans has proved that the soldiers of New China will definitely love this long dagger. Moreover, compared with the very small production of the Bayi type, the difference is that the butt can be folded, and countless veterans have proved that this is much easier and more convenient than a fixed stock.
If you want to say that when the Type 81 gun family was designed, it passed the cruel test of severe cold, scorching heat, wind and sand, swimming rivers, soaking in seawater, and other strict conditions, and after the practice of equipment and combat in the troops, there were very few failures. In the development stage, Shiyan did 26 times in water, and there were problems such as early fire, box cover falling off when firing grenades, and automatic code skipping of the ruler when firing grenades, but they were all solved after improvement, but the anti-corrosion performance still needs to be improved. With consistent quality in mass production and a lifespan of 15,000 cartridges, the rifle has been fired without any faults, cracks in parts, or any functional failures.
It is said that he is a magic spear that inherits the AK47 orthodoxy and strives for refinement, and it is well deserved.
