Chapter 112: "The Flames of War"

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the fall opening ceremony ended.

The students' excitement has not yet recovered, and they have begun a 45-day military training, which is different from the military training of one week, ten days, and at most half a month after the new century; in this era, China has not yet escaped the haze of war, and the military training is really military training, with reference to the new recruit company of the army, not to mention the live ammunition target shooting, and even the training of hand grenades, light and heavy machine guns, and small-caliber artillery.

Military training during the day, two small classes in the evening, and one morning self-study in the morning will be their daily routine for the next 45 days.

"The factory director, Commander Song and Director Liang are here, and they also brought a lot of weapons and equipment."

"There are Type 59 tanks, J-5 fighters, J-6 fighters, and several artillery pieces of different calibers, all of which are old products from previous years."

Sitting on the viewing platform, Wang Ye was watching the military training pictures in the playground with a group of people, after all, this was also part of the opening ceremony, under the command of those inch-headed security guards, one after another hundred large phalanxes were formed, and Wang Ye heard the staff report so.

"How come there are planes and artillery?"

Suddenly Wang Ye was stunned, he was not surprised by the tank Wang Ye, after all, he reported to the above, saying that he wanted to buy the chassis of twenty Type 59 tanks, but what is the situation with this aircraft and artillery?

"Director Li, let's go! Let's take a look? ”

Hearing Wang Ye say this, the curious Director Li immediately nodded, and then a group of people left the viewing platform, and after a while, they came to the parking lot at the gate of the consortium.

"Huh!"

As soon as he walked over, Wang Ye couldn't help but exclaim.

I saw a row of various transport trucks parked in the open space not far away, from the left were thirty 59 tanks, then two J-5 fighters, two J-6 fighters, but they were all early models, and there were more than a dozen guns of various types.

"Commander Song? How did you get here? Director Liang, what's going on? ”

"We did write an application to buy 59 tanks, but we only bought 20 tank chassis without turrets? How did you pull thirty of them directly, and there were turrets on them? ”

"The key is that apart from the tank, what is the rest of the situation? Leaders can't buy and sell, right? ”

Seeing the two leaders who were standing and smoking, Wang Ye hurriedly walked over, and after saying hello, he pointed to the equipment on the truck behind him, and asked with an expression that you can't bully people.

The two people who stood in an instant couldn't help laughing, and Commander Song took over the conversation and said:

"I received your application from above, and I will give you the approval as soon as possible, but you are a joint application document, so the content of the approval of the Fifth Aircraft Department and the Ministry of National Defense is different."

"The Fifth Machine Department has approved a total of twenty 59 tanks for you, huh!"

"It's the twenty units on the left, the overall condition and machine condition are quite good, the asking price is 200,000 yuan each, a total of 4 million yuan, this is your old leader personally opened the mouth, it is this price, there is no room for negotiation, but the turret is an addition, spare it!"

The old leader of Wang Ye in Commander Song's mouth is, of course, the old man Zhou Jinlie, after all, Wang Ye is the old man Zhou Jinlie, in a sense, from that moment on, Wang Ye was branded as the old man Zhou Jinlie.

"To be honest, it's not expensive, but it's definitely not cheap."

"It's not like our Ministry of Defense, it's brighter than them, look! Look at the string behind, these ten 59 tanks, although the year is a little longer, but there is no problem with the run, that is, the rifling is a little worn, and it is not accurate. ”

"It's worth changing it, so I'll give it to you directly, as well as the planes and artillery in the back, it's all for you."

"Although you have started to convert from military to civilian, you haven't completely turned around, have you? At present, it is also half military and half civilian, considering that your factory has expanded and recruited students, you have to decorate the faΓ§ade for you. ”

"Well, these are, basically they have been grounded for several years, and they can't be used, let's see where they are!"

Hearing this, a touch of joy appeared on Wang Ye's face, to be honest, the 59 tanks of 200,000 units are actually a relatively low price overall, after all, the price of the military's own procurement normally requires about 500,000 units.

The actual price of the 59 tank, depending on the year of production and the version, as well as the gap in internal equipment, ranged from more than 300,000 to more than 800,000, while the export price in recent years was about a million dollars.

But in any case, the cheap one is definitely not as good as the free one!

"Sent to us?"

"Oops! Then I have to thank the leaders of the Ministry of National Defense for supporting our work so much! ”

"In addition, I have to thank Commander Song for delivering the goods to us so quickly, originally we were going to wait for the notice, what base to pull the goods! Don't worry about it now. ”

"And you also came with you, how embarrassed we are!"

I got the free things, and the good words were naturally indispensable for Wang Ye, holding Commander Song's hand and saying it was called an enthusiasm, and Director Liang next to him pouted, looking like he couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Commander Song, on the other hand, didn't care about it, and accepted Wang Ye's compliments as they were, while explaining:

"It stands to reason that I really don't need to come."

"But I happen to be free, and the leader above is also very curious, what do you want a tank for?"

"So I'm here with a mission, see what you're going to do with these tanks, and what kind of work you can do!"

For this answer, Wang Ye is actually not surprised, the things that the machinery factory engaged in in the past, to put it bluntly, were small fights, or small things that were quietly made by themselves, but this time the action is big, and the opening is twenty tanks!

It's normal to be curious!

"I see!"

Wang Ye showed a look of sudden realization, raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was eleven o'clock in the morning, he thought briefly for a while, and then said with a smile to Commander Song:

"It wouldn't be interesting if I described it to you."

"It's better to send the tank to the workshop now, if you don't leave today, you should be able to see the finished product tomorrow!"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Commander Song actually nodded with a smile and said:

"Okay, then I'll stay in your consortium for one night!"

"I'd like to see what you've done!"

Then the group returned to the new office building, in the past in the old office building, the guests were also in the conference room, and the meeting was also in the conference room, anyway, it was such a big room, and everything was in the conference room.

In the new office building, according to Wang Ye's requirements, a large reception room was arranged, that is, in an empty room, some fabric sofas were placed in a circle, and everyone could sit and chat.

After everyone sat down, Commander Song took the lead and said:

"In addition to the tank, there is also good news, let Lao Liang tell you!"

Under the gaze of everyone, I saw Director Liang take out a document from his pocket, with an unconcealable smile on his face, beckoned to Bai Tingyu, who was standing next to him serving tea and pouring water, motioned to hand it over to Wang Ye, and said to Wang Ye at the same time:

"That friend of yours in Tanzania, Africa, has telegraphed back to you this time."

"They've already received your six-million-dollar shipment, which happened to be used in a key campaign, and they praised it fiercely, and then said they would continue to buy it."

"For your own sake, it's another huge order!"

"And this time, because I was in a hurry, after the Fifth Machine Department learned the news, I sent it to you directly, and I didn't go through the post and telecommunications system."

The last sentence was explained to Director Li next to him, Director Li nodded in understanding, and at the same time couldn't help but look at the documents in Wang Ye's hand, very curious about how many orders there were!

"Shhh My friend, is that okay? Why such a big order? ”

"10,000 gas canisters, 10,000 rain-enhancing rockets, 100 gyroplanes, 1,000 revolver launchers, 200 machine-gun grenade launchers, 100 sniper grenade launchers, 100,000 grenades?"

"That's $18,460,000?"

Almost at the same moment, Wang Ye had already calculated the final result in his mind, and the expressions of everyone present directly changed from expectation to surprise, Director Li directly gasped and said:

"Huh? Just such a single, the top half of the Canton Fair! ”

"I said Wang Ye, your business is even faster than robbery!"

In response to Director Li's exclamation, Wang Ye waved his hand and smiled:

"It's okay, but compared to the real robbery, it's really far from it."

"That's a good business."

Just when everyone was thinking about what the real robbery in Wang Ye's mouth meant, Wang Ye looked at Commander Song, frowned and asked:

"There's a lot of fighting in Tanzania?"

"Otherwise, there is no need for him to buy so much at once, and directly say that he wants to trade gold and ore."

"Explain that their foreign exchange, I'm afraid it has already been spent!"

Regarding Wang Ye's question, Commander Song sighed, then nodded and said:

"That's right, it's very complicated, and the fighting is fierce."

"Even according to some information we have obtained, if it weren't for your batch of supplies, the official Tanzanian troops might have suffered a big loss, and if it didn't work, it would be the result of defeat step by step."

"Finally, Tanzania will change its name!"

"Of course, the more critical factor is that the United States, its allies, and the Soviet Union are no longer selling them weapons."

"The reason is basically what you guessed, Wang Ye, there are people behind those two warlords."

"So this time, Tanzania not only gave you an order, but also gave us an order, which adds up to more than 80 million, and I heard that the above is almost crazy with joy!"

"Even Lao Wei said, wait for the next time you go to Yanjing, please eat roast duck! Hahaha! ”

It was obvious that Commander Song was in a high position and knew some internal information, and he didn't keep it secret from Wang Ye and others, so he said it directly, and the old Wei in his mouth was naturally the old man Wei Qingshan.

At this time, Wang Ye finally knew why the Ministry of Defense was so generous, and didn't want to give himself a bunch of broken things in vain!

$80 million in orders, that's a lot!

For a while, Wang Ye was very envious, and couldn't help but say sourly:

"Tut-tut, it's really a small thing, we are tired of earning a thousand, and we can open a single casually, which is 80 million, hiss! This is the regular army! ”

"We are guerrillas, we can't compare! It really can't be compared! ”

Hearing Wang Ye's sigh of emotion, there was a burst of laughter at the scene in an instant, and I only felt that Wang Ye was ridiculing, after all, when it comes to the arms business, who is bored to compare with the country?

But what Wang Ye actually wants to express is the regular army and the guerrillas!

After all, the export price of a 59 tank is also more than one million US dollars, and at present, these Yeluzi products of the consortium sound like they have sold a lot, but the total price is not high, to put it bluntly, the unit price of the product is too low!

Of course, the only thing that can be praised is that the profit margin is okay.

And Commander Song couldn't help but laugh and scolded in the face of Wang Ye's lofty arguments:

"It's easy to say, you think it's easy to open an order above? If it weren't for this coincidence, could there be such a large order? ”

"If we can have such a big order every three or five times, how can we be so poor?"

"Wang Ye, you kid is full of men who don't know how hungry men are hungry, how many people are there in your entire Red Star Consortium, and how many arsenals in the country are still waiting for orders to eat, waiting to be fed!"

"By the way, you have taken such an order again this time, planning the OEM task, or a little bit, right?"

Commander Song's planned OEM task was a means for the Fifth Machinery Department and the Ministry of National Defense to act as intermediaries and subcontract some of the non-core parts production tasks of the consortium to other third-tier factories.

"Of course, although we have expanded, the production pressure is still quite high!"

Wang Ye nodded in approval, and after chatting for a while, everyone decided to go out to visit the new factory of the consortium.

Eight o'clock in the morning the next day.

The sun was shining, and Wang Ye took Commander Song, Director Liang and others, and had already stood at the door of a workshop after breakfast.

"Next, what you will see is the latest product that we have entered the era of the consortium!"

"It is also our first step from a guerrilla army to a regular army!"

"Oooo

With Wang Ye's artificial accompaniment, the door of the workshop was slowly pushed open, and with the roar of the engine, in the eyes of everyone's expectation, I saw a steel giant slowly driving out!

At that moment, when the golden morning sun sprinkled on the body of the car, Commander Song, Director Liang and others were directly stunned!

The vehicle in front of you, apart from the iconic five pairs of load-bearing wheels, barely has anything to do with the Type 59 tank, and no matter what angle you look at, this tank has a different kind of beauty!

Even the re-painted desert gray paint makes people feel extraordinarily temperamental!

"Shhh

In an instant, a gasping sound sounded at the scene, and Wang Ye's slightly excited voice sounded:

"Next, allow me to introduce you to our new products."

"The fire support vehicle, codenamed 59-K, nicknamed 'The Flamefighter', is composed of a tried and tested Type 59 tank chassis with a weapon station independently designed and produced by the Red Star Consortium."

"The total weight is twenty-eight tons, the maximum speed is seventy kilometers per hour, the maximum range is six hundred and fifty kilometers, and the crew is three."

"The equipped welded turret weapon station, the main armament is two 40 mm caliber howitzer cannons, the effective range is three kilometers, the maximum firing range is four kilometers, the maximum rate of fire of the twin assembly is 600 rounds per minute, and the vehicle is equipped with 800 rounds of ammunition, which is fed by a chain."

"The secondary armament is two 23-mm cannons with an effective firing range of three kilometers and a maximum firing range of five kilometers, a maximum rate of fire of 1,200 rounds per minute for the twin installation, and 1,600 rounds of ammunition for internal ammunition, which are fed by a chain."

"The supplementary armament is a total of 16 unguided rockets with eight rounds on the left and right, with a maximum range of eight kilometers."

"The turret and around the body are equipped with grille armor, which can greatly increase the survivability against rockets."

"In my opinion, the appearance of this fire support vehicle fills an important gap in the field of armored vehicles for the weapons industry!"

"Whether it is against lightly armored targets, or against motorized infantry, whether it is in mountains, jungles, deserts, cities, it can play an unimaginable role."

"Become an important part of the cooperative operation!"

Before Wang Ye's words fell, Commander Song and other military personnel looked at the big guy who roared out not far away, and their eyes were already full of energy, although they hadn't seen the actual display effect of this thing, but just listening to Wang Ye's introduction, they couldn't help but start to be tempted!

After all, it can provide a much denser fire output compared to a tank, and it can move at high speed relative to a point of fire such as a heavy machine gun, and there really were no similar weapons in the past!

At that moment, Commander Song really wanted to have a group of such big guys, but unfortunately, there was no money!
