Chapter 239: Adventurous Arms Procurement (3)
After the basic equipment of the infantry was discussed, Xiao Lin and General Ma were relieved. Now comes the main thing, Sholin is ready to buy armored vehicles and tanks. Why not artillery and mortars? Come on, artillery Shawlin already has 3,000 54 series heavy howitzers in his hands, and the company can now make 60mm and 82mm mortars by itself. The 122mm and 152mm heavy howitzers have also entered the research sequence for a long time, although they have not yet seen the finished product, but the basic technical difficulties have been overcome.
1722, no, it's 1723, not to mention airplanes, not even airships. Therefore, the company does not need anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and there is no use for taking them, as long as they study it themselves. Of course, in order not to make the Chinese side suspicious, he still purchased some of these things, spending a total of 300 million yuan. Soon, I hope he will buy more, but there are not many of these backward things left, and he also knows that the performance is not good, there is no way, if he can't sell it, he is ready to return it directly.
The armored car that Xiao Lin likes is the Type 531H armored transporter, in fact, it is the Type 85 armored transporter. It is said that it is Type 85, but in fact it belongs to the Type 63 tracked armored vehicle family. The basic vehicle is the 531 tracked armored personnel transport vehicle, which is mainly used to transport infantry and cooperate with tank operations. The first batch of 531 armored transport vehicles was delivered to the troops in 1963 and was designated Type 63 armored transport vehicles. In 1981-1985, it was improved into B531, 531C, 531D, 531E, 531G, 531K armored transport vehicles. In 1987, it was improved to the 531H (also known as Type 85) armored transport vehicle.
"Soon, I don't know how many Type 85 armored vehicles have not been decommissioned? Or rather, how many are still in working order. ”
"Oh, it turns out that you want this car, indeed, now the Type 99 armored car has replaced the Type 85 armored car, and the rest is either sold out of magic modification, or decommissioned and mothballed. Wait a minute, I'll help you look it up. ”
Immediately, people will leave the conference room and go to the special computer room to look up information. Xiao Lin thought he would have to wait a while, but he actually came back in ten minutes.
"Well, there are now three hundred Type 85 armored vehicles left with full combat effectiveness, and two hundred more are overhauled before they can be used. Among them, the Y382 120mm self-propelled mortar and the Y383 82mm self-propelled mortar have the most models, with 200 units each, and a total of 217 units with complete combat effectiveness. The rest are basically Z751 armored ambulances and Y309 infantry fighting vehicles, and other models have been modified and continued to be used or sold. If you want, the whole vehicle is equipped with two base ammunition, a total of 30 million yuan. ”
"Ahem, I will be soon, I am convinced of you, they are all second-hand old goods, you still dare to open this price, people's African black corn money is not the wind drifting, if I take this price, I can't make money." ”
"What do you say?"
"Fifteen million cars, and half a base of ammunition, I have ordered all the cars, and this time I will deliver twenty cars, and I will pay for the rest in two years and take it away. ”
"Okay, it's refreshing, that's it. ”
Xiao Lin felt wrong, he seemed to be cheated by someone. He knows those armored vehicles, they have been in the army for decades, they are relatively old, and even if they are replaced with new equipment, they still can't keep up with the mainstream. However, the price should not be that much. Xiao Lin didn't know, armored vehicles are really not easy to sell. Those places in the Middle East and Africa that are often at war, except for a few oil powers and those with the support of the United States behind them, cannot afford to use armored vehicles at all.
However, people's market share has long been occupied by a few old arms hooligans, and there is no way to let the people of Huaguo squeeze in. Besides, the Type 85 is indeed a little behind, if the Type 99 is willing to sell, those people are willing to buy, but the Type 99 is now the main armored vehicle of the Chinese Army, and their respective models are in the middle and upper reaches of the world, so they can't be sold. There is only Pakistan, this kind of old brother who is absolutely loyal to China has got a batch.
It's all old guys, no one wants it anywhere, and the auxiliary vehicles can continue to be used after modification, and they don't have to go to the frontal battlefield anyway. For the rest, there are no plans for modification at all. Directly return to the furnace, the army is really reluctant, and originally planned to seal it to prevent future changes in the world, and it can be used by the militia. Before it can be sold now, fifteen million is not much, but it is also higher than the cost price of a new car, and it is not bad that an old car can be sold at this price.
It seemed that Xiao Lin was still there, and the smiling soldiers put away their smiles one by one. immediately scolded in his heart, these people really couldn't hold their breath. Next, there is the main event, why is it so exposed. Xiao Lin is actually desperate in his heart, he really can't play these old fritters. There is no way, the words are spoken, so I can only admit it. Type 85 armored vehicles, or because they have just been retired, so the price is really high.
Sholin's favorite tank is different, the Type 59-1 medium tank. In the 50s, Huaguo introduced the former Soviet T-54A tank production technology to develop and produce the Type 59 medium tank, from the first one produced in 58 years, and the final production began in 59 years, after more than 30 years of transformation and improvement, it derived its improved series, and developed several variants in the expansion of its use, forming a car family based on the Type 59 tank.
After the self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam, in view of the backward fire control system and weak protection capability of the Type 59 medium tank exposed in the battle, on the basis of full investigation, Huaguo decided to carry out the first round of improvements to the Type 59 medium tank. In 1979, an improved design began, and the product was codenamed Z120A. After the improvement plan was approved, trial production and improved tactical and technical performance tests were put into operation. In 1984, the Type 59 Improved Medium Tank passed the type test and was officially finalized, named the "Type 59-1 Medium Tank".
Type 59 tanks, at the beginning, Huaguo produced more than 10,000 units. Over the years, the magic has been changed to various models, and the sales are still very good. Many small countries even bought it as the main tank. In addition, it has been used to experiment with new weapons over the years, and a lot has been consumed, but in the hands of Hua Guo, there are still more than 2,000 vehicles. Among them, there are more than 600 Type 59-1 medium tanks that have not undergone any improvements. Hearing Xiao Lin ask about this tank, they were immediately pleased.
"Type 59-1 medium tanks, we can also find you more than 2,000 units, whether it is an existing improved model, or you can improve it according to your own wishes. ”
"No, just add a little ceramic armor and install an infrared sighting system. ”
"Then do you want to change the main gun, now they all like the 125mm caliber, and no one wants the original 100mm caliber. ”
"Well, let's do it, replace the main guns of fifty tanks with 125mm caliber ones, and leave the rest alone. People don't have much money, so they hope to use ordinary tanks to train their own armored army. ”
"Then do you want to cover it all, a total of 600 vehicles, if you want me to give you a discount, 7.5 million yuan for one car, and 9 million yuan for the main gun. ”
"Well, I don't have a lot of money this time. ”
"That's okay, didn't you say that they are mining a big gold mine, we can trade in batches, keep it for you, and within two years the money will be paid, and the car will be all taken away. ”
"Okay, all-inclusive, all-inclusive. ”
"Good boy, you've got a problem for us. ”
"Soon, don't worry, we still have planes and ships that we haven't discussed. ”
"Yes, yes, I don't know what aircraft you want, I recommend this to you, J-8A, it is a semi-third-generation aircraft, and it can be used as a main fighter. ”
"Don't forget, I'm here to collect the rags. The J-8A is too high-end, I don't know how many J-5 and J-6 are left in the country?"
"Xiao boy, you have to know that those things are already really tattered, not to mention selling them, no one wants them for free. In previous years, the UAVs modified with the J-6 could still be sold, but now they are completely unsalable. ”
"No problem, don't worry, there are no supersonic fighters over there, it's all helicopters fighting the girders. Even if they fall behind, these fighters will not even be able to defeat helicopters. People also said that now only quantity, not quality. There aren't enough of them, and he can't hold down the enemy. ”
"Okay, anyway, as long as you can sell it, don't smash it in your hands, how much do you want. ”
"How many of you have?"
"As much as you want. ”
