Chapter 566: Wheeled Infantry Fighting Vehicle
readx;
When the Mercedes-Benz team came to Iraq, and their deputy managers came to lobby Iraqi government officials, some of Qusay's eyeballs were about to fall, how did the German, who was high up and thought he was the overlord of the automobile industry, become so polite and virtuous now? Running to Iraq to sell?
The more this is the case, the more it will be difficult for them, Cusai knows, only in this way, can the price be pushed down, in terms of the idea in his heart, just the symbol of Mercedes-Benz, in the future is a symbol of status, those sugar daddy young second wives, which is not driving a luxury car bought by the godfather? If Iraq can introduce the production line of Mercedes-Benz cars, it will be a very big step forward for Iraq's automobile industry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info≦≧
Let's hang the appetite of the Germans first! Qusay doesn't want to let them see it so easily, in later generations, although Qusay has been in the army, he still has some understanding of those local behaviors, he did this, not to put up a high shelf, as the actual supreme leader of Iraq, Qusay is in a hurry, where is there so much time to meet with an ordinary delegation?
In the past few days, good news has been coming from the Austrian side, negotiations with Steyr Company, going very smoothly, a full set of projects introduced, only a few hundred million dollars, Iraq only needs to choose a site near Baghdad, a new car manufacturing plant, can end the history of Iraq can not produce cars, because the production line of T-72 is established in the north of Baghdad, so, in the planning of Qusay, the north of Baghdad, will become an important heavy industrial park. ≦≧
However, Qusai did not survive a few days, and he had to meet this guest from afar, because Juanli personally made a request to His Excellency Qusay, and Qusay had no way to refuse.
Anli You, a senior engineer sent by Germany to Iraq, was responsible for the modification of the tank gun and fire control system of Iraq's 69 tank, and after that, he did not return to China. Then he participated in the modification of the fire control system of Iraq's T-72 tank, it can be said that this German has made a great contribution to Iraq's ground weapons, and Qusay also attaches great importance to him, and he made this request to Qusay, so that Qusay knows that the Germans are rigorous and rigid. ≦≧ actually at some point. It's also very adaptable.
This is also the future generation, Mercedes-Benz re-entered China, and they re-chose a partner. This time the energy is higher, it's the Ordnance Group Company!
When Qusay met the delegation from Germany, he knew. They came with the purpose of selling products to Iraq, to make Iraq's hard-earned money, but Qusay was still moved by their sincerity, because when they came, they actually airlifted two complete NG-80 heavy trucks, one of which is still a military version of 6*6 full-drive off-road heavy trucks!
"Your Excellency Qusay. It is a great pleasure for you to be able to meet with our delegation in the midst of your busy schedule. Lloyt, deputy general manager of Mercedes-Benz sales from Germany, said that in the past few days, he has deeply felt how "busy" this person is!
"You're very welcome to be able to come to Iraq, and bring these two big guys with you." Cusai said, glancing at the two Mercedes cars parked in the clearing. ≦≧
Seeing that His Excellency Qusay is so interested. "Your Excellency Cusay, what you see is the new product that our company has brought to the table, the world's number one high-end heavy-duty truck that we have developed over the years to adapt to the development of the transportation industry in the next 20 years," said Lloyt. NG-80 series heavy truck, a civilian 4*2. One is a military 6*6 off-road vehicle. ”
Cusai listened to the other party's words, came to the military off-road vehicle, he circled around the car, and the product of the Northern Mercedes-Benz Company in Baotou in later generations was exactly the same, but when he looked down at the chassis, he suddenly moved.
This 6*6 off-road vehicle chassis suddenly reminded Qusay of the chassis of the Type 92 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle that China was equipped with in large quantities in later generations.
As a civilian and military transport vehicle, Steyr is completely sufficient, but if it is used as a military combat vehicle, such as a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, the technology of the Steyr chassis is not advanced enough will be exposed, and the infantry fighting vehicle is related to the life and death of the infantry, and the cost must not be stingy. ≦≧
At present, Iraq already has a T-72 tank production line, and on this basis, it is not difficult for Iraq to improve an advanced tank suitable for Iraq's national conditions and equipped with Western electronic equipment, but it is impossible for the army to be equipped with all tanks, in addition to tanks, infantry fighting vehicles are also very important.
At present, in the mechanized army of Iraq, only tracked infantry fighting vehicles are equipped, and although tracked infantry fighting vehicles have excellent cross-country performance, the cost is still high and cannot be equipped in large quantities.
If you want to achieve a major change in the army, then, for the elite infantry division of the army, a large number of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, it is a good choice, it is used to support infantry and carry infantry operations, can effectively improve the protection ability of infantry personnel, can carry out mobile combat missions, at the same time, can also cooperate with the main battle tank combat. ≦≧ it is mainly used to destroy the enemy's light armored vehicles, improvised fire points and anti-tank support points, kill and injure the enemy's living forces, and has the ability to defend itself against low-altitude targets, and is also very suitable for becoming the main equipment of the rapid reaction force, providing it with strong fire support and assault capabilities.
Qusay's eyes drew back, saw Lloyt looking at him, and said, "Your Excellency Qusay, if you like it, you can sit down and feel it." ”
Let his leader sit in the cab of the truck as the driver, the accompanying Iraqi personnel were a little dissatisfied, but His Excellency Qusay opened the door with great interest, pulled the handrails on both sides, and stepped into the cab, and the movements were very skillful.
It's a pity that there is no key on it, otherwise, Cusai would really want to start the car and try its off-road ability.
"Your Excellency Cusay, if you have time, we would like to present you with a vehicle performance demonstration and technical exchange meeting to show you the excellent performance of our heavy-duty vehicle. I hope that heavy vehicles like ours will be able to be equipped in Iraq. Lloyt said, seeing the look on the face of the powerful man in Iraq, he sensed he had a good chance this time.
"Forget it." "You're late, just this morning, we in Iraq have signed an agreement with the Austrian company Steyr, we will introduce a full set of Steyr 91 series heavy trucks," Qusay said. ”
Suddenly, Lloyt felt that his eyes were dark, the Austrians started so quickly, and in such a short period of time, they fooled the Iraqis, and they signed an agreement to introduce Steyr 91 series heavy trucks? Could it be that this time, Mercedes-Benz, the boss of the automotive industry, lost to this small company in Austria again?
"I like this kind of car very much, it's just that this kind of car is a bit expensive, we can't afford to equip Iraq, although the performance of Steyr is not as good as Mercedes-Benz cars, but it is the most cost-effective, it is our right choice, but it's a pity." Qusay said meaningfully.
Youanli, who was following from the side, immediately understood the true thoughts of this seemingly amiable but "despicable" Iraqi ruler: This guy thinks Mercedes Benz cars are expensive!
"Your Excellency Qusay, although our truck is more expensive than Steyr, however, our heavy truck, the performance is far more than Steyr heavy truck, it has excellent adaptability, not only for the desert and plains of Iraq, for the Iranian plateau, for the mountainous areas, have a good adaptability, our Mercedes-Benz OM series engine, even in the winter minus 30 degrees in the area, can also start successfully at one time, in the desert 40 degrees of high temperature and the plateau hypoxia conditions, there is enough power output, our chassis, High carrying capacity, the best adaptability to all kinds of terrain, Your Excellency Qusay, we very much hope to be able to conduct a field test with Steyr heavy trucks to prove that our cars are more able to adapt to the Iraqi military. Lloyt said.
Of course, Cusai knew that Mercedes-Benz trucks had excellent performance, and if Mercedes-Benz and Steyr had the same price, he would of course choose Mercedes-Benz trucks, but the problem was that the price of a Mercedes-Benz truck was enough to equip three Steyrs.
"Your Excellency Qusay, in the project of choosing tanks, you will spend a high price to improve the 69 tanks you imported and the T-72 tanks you produced, and in your air force, you have spent a lot of money to introduce a heavy air fighter like the Mirage 4000, do you really care that although the price of Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks is higher than that of Steyr, but the performance is more excellent?" He said that he has been in Iraq for more than a year and is very familiar with the style of the Honorable Qusay.
"Yes, I am in these projects, regardless of the cost, because it will affect the safety of our Iraqi fighters and affect the course of the battle, but for the truck project, it is not entirely like this, because the quantity of our demand is very large, we have made estimates, in the next five years, our market in Iraq and the entire Middle East, it is expected to need 50,000 to 100,000 heavy vehicles, including military and civilian aspects, so we are more concerned about the cost performance of this kind of car, the unit price of the car is too high, We can't afford it. Cusai was a little depressed, he mentioned the price again and again, is the other party a fool, why don't you understand what he is referring to?
