I didn't expect such a person to be able to hold an important position in Vickers Company, Tian Jianlong shook his head secretly. With William, John came to the factory, an open field. There was a tank about the size of a Renault FT17 parked.

"Can I go up and try it?" Tian Jianlong asked.

"Of course, you are our honored guest, and as long as you don't dismantle the tank, everything is allowed. But I think you'll need some help, it takes two or three people to drive a vehicle tank, but there's no ammo on it, two people at most, and you'll love it when you feel the speed at that speed. William snorted and called out a man from the tank.

Ignoring William's unnutritious nonsense, Tian saw that Long Ma got into the tank and covered it, he came a little faster, and two deputies were originally arranged to come over to test the tank, but he was called by Gao Zhihang to help, so he came over alone to take a look.

Under the driver's introduction, Tian Jianlong roughly understood the key point, so he directly started the tank.

The engine roared, the heavy tank jumped forward abruptly, and although William's guy was a little cheap, he was really right, compared to the somewhat turtle Renault FT17, this Vickers tank was more than twice as fast, which was a really good feeling. At the beginning, outside Mukden City, if the Japanese cavalry could have this speed, it was estimated that dozens or hundreds of more cavalry could be killed and wounded. If you can rush into the army at this speed, the tank will be much safer. After all, it also takes time for the enemy's defense artillery to be aimed. React even seconds faster on the battlefield. It also meant that the time when the enemy could have aimed and fired the first shell had been successfully avoided. And to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Turn, retreat, aim, but unfortunately not live fire. This requirement must be mentioned later. In addition, it is worth mentioning that this Vickers MKE tank is also equipped with a radio, which is much more convenient for commanding combat vehicles than before. The disadvantage is that the on-board radio system is not very stable and can only transmit over short distances. But technology is all about perfecting, anyway. Car radios are very innovative technologies.

Opening the iron lid above the tank, Tarumi took a breath, and William had already stepped forward and asked eagerly, "How is it, this must be the best tank you've ever seen, right?" ”

"It's not bad, but there are several models of Vickers MKE, you won't just try this one for me, and I ask for a live fire test to feel the power of this tank." Tian Jianlong jumped down from the tank and said.

"Of course. These requirements will be met one by one, are you going to test shoot now? William nodded and asked. For large customers who may reach forty tanks and armored vehicles at one time, the sum of several customers who have traded before is less than a fraction of the other party, as long as the other party does not dismantle the Vickers company, William will find a way to meet the other party's requirements.

"In the next few days, I and my subordinates will try to drive this tank more, after all, my commander has given me such an important task, and I can't do it badly, but there are some aspects that I can talk to you about in advance." Tian Jianlong said.

"If you have any requirements, Mr. Tian can just put it forward, and we will definitely find a way to do it." This time it was John who spoke, and he seemed much more steady than William.

"In addition to the artillery type, your company is equipped with your country's 7.7MM Vickers machine gun on the machine gun type, which is not common to our machine gun bullets, and here we need to modify it." Tian Jianlong said.

"That's not a big deal, but you'll need to pay for the modification. The most important thing is that Mr. Tian decided to make a deposit immediately, and we can start the design of the modification immediately. William said immediately.

"Mr. William, you are too anxious, I can't make a deal so hastily with such a large sum of money, and there are still many aspects that have not been negotiated." The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Although the test drive has not been for a long time, Tian Jianlong can also feel that this is indeed better than the Renault FT17 that he has driven for a short time, but it is definitely not right to place the order in such a hurry.

"What else does Mr. Tian want?" John asked.

"In addition to the tank, we need a set of repair parts, and in the parts that are prone to damage, we need to add a little more. And your company has sent a certain number of maintenance technicians, so that we can learn to maintain these expensive guys. Salary-wise, we'll pay out. Of course, and most importantly, we need to license the production of Vickers tanks, and if you agree, we can proceed with the next negotiations. Tian Jianlong said as he stared at John with burning eyes.

"Since Tian Jianlong is from China, with all due respect, it seems that your country does not have the ability to produce tanks, and the introduction of this kind of production authorization is not very useful except for consuming limited funds." John said with a frown.

"This is our problem, whether we can produce it or not, we will find a way to solve it ourselves." Tian Jianlong smiled indifferently.

"Mr. Tian's request, we need to ask for instructions before we can give you an answer." William and John looked at each other, then said.

"Well, I'll wait for your reply." Tian Jianlong nodded.

It didn't take long for Tami-ryu to get the reply he wanted, and Vickers had already passed the decision to license the production license to Tami-ryu. In fact, this is not a big deal, once the deal is concluded, Tami Ryu will become the largest customer of Vickers tanks, and the second largest number is the Soviet Union, which purchased 15 vehicles from Vickers and also obtained production authorization. And the manager of Vickers Company personally met with Tian Jianlong.

In contrast, both Japan and Greece bought only one tank to test it. Vickers tanks have only received a handful of orders from the finalization to the present, so it is no wonder that Vickers attaches so much importance to Tian Jianlong, a big customer. The profit from a single transaction is hundreds of thousands of dollars, which can be regarded as a valuable order for the economic environment at this time is not very good. That's enough for the employees below to keep busy for quite some time.

However, the value is important, and Vickers has not loosened much in price, but only symbolically cheaper, and this money is also required to buy excess parts. However, for the technical assistance requested by Tian Jianlong, the Vickers company was more generous, in addition to the maintenance technicians, it also sent two engineers to Lanzhou to help Lanzhou produce its own Vickers tanks.
