Xiao Lin finally suddenly appeared and came back, and Sorento definitely wouldn't let him go. The total amount of arms he had previously determined, only one-third of it had been shipped one after another during this time. The main ones are high-end tanks and helicopter fighters, and there are many others. Sorento pays millions of labor fees every year, how can he let Xiao Lin be idle. The new batch of weapons will mainly be rifles and submachine guns used to equip and train the militia and mortars to enhance the army's firepower.

Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't mind, taking advantage of this opportunity, he could carry private goods again. And after reaching an agreement with Sorento, Sorento will help him take his bootleg out and secretly hand it over to Sholin on the high seas to take away. In any case, it doesn't hurt to have more good weapons in stock. And the company's demand for heavy artillery is now getting bigger and bigger. Having beaten the British to this point, Shoren believed that as long as Charlie Mill had his hands free, he would definitely mobilize heavy artillery and a large army to attack.

Shoren had no doubt that Charlie would certainly mobilize twenty-, twenty-four, or even thirty-six pounds of batteries and naval heavy artillery. These cannons are no joke, not only have a long range, but are also powerful. If it is shot directly on the top of the anti-artillery hole, it will not be able to carry it even if it is reinforced with cement. Moreover, it is also very threatening for trenches at a depth of two meters. The point is that these heavy artillery guns have thick walls, and the shells of the assault type 1 mortars hit them, which will not have much effect at all.

It's not enough to count on the heavy punch two-style. The Heavy Fist II is only a front-loading rifled gun, rifling increases its range and a little power, but does not increase its accuracy much. There has been no breakthrough in the research of 150 mm caliber heavy-fist Type 3 artillery, mainly because of Xiao Lin's high requirements. It is not only required that the gun wall be light and thin, so that the total weight can be controlled within 1.2 times the weight of a 150 mm rear-loading artillery gun, but also that it has more power and firing range than other front-loading guns.

The seventy-five mm caliber and the one hundred and twenty mm caliber are okay, because the caliber is not very large, and it can be solved by trying to find a way. However, the difference between this 150 mm gun and the 120 mm gun is only 30 mm caliber, and the difficulty is not ordinary. One hundred and fifty millimeters, which is basically the caliber of a cannon. Since he couldn't make it himself, Xiao Lin made up the idea of buying it. As far as he knew, China was under the influence of the Soviets, and until the 90s of the 20th century, it was a fanatical believer in artilleryism.

With the support of the Soviets, 50 years later, Hua Guo built a terrible number of cannons. It's just that later, because of that special period, everyone didn't have the heart to engage in construction, and many scientists were even persecuted, so that the development of artillery could not keep up with the times. However, it is also good that because of the rise of the concept of modern army building, the crooked road of artilleryism did not continue to be followed. The concept of diligence and thrift in China is still deeply rooted, and many weapons that have lagged behind for decades are reluctant to be destroyed, but they are simply preserved.

Xiao Lin once found the existence of two super antiques in the list given by the logistics assembly department. Type 54 122mm howitzer and Type 54 152mm howitzer, these artillery pieces that have been retired as early as the seventies, still exist, and the combat effectiveness has remained ten, for the ability of the Chinese Army to maintain equipment, Xiao Lin is really amazed. However, because of this, the maintenance costs wasted on these outdated equipment every year are not low.

If it had been in the nineties or the '0s, these guns might have been improved and sold. But in 2019, these artillery, even the Turkish warlords of Africa, they can't look down on them, and with that money, they would rather buy a little more RPG. The Chinese army finally made up its mind to destroy this huge batch of artillery, and Sorento came out, and they hinted to Xiao Lin that they were willing to modernize this batch of artillery if they were given more money.

However, Sorento could not afford to digest this batch of artillery, after all, he needed too many third-generation fighters and third-generation master tanks, and these were not cheap. This time, Xiao Lin hit the idea on this batch of artillery. Xiao Lin counted the funds he had in his hands, and the money that could be withdrawn was only 500 million. Of them, 400 million yuan was taken out to purchase artillery, which was enough to use. A Type 54 122mm howitzer is 300,000 yuan, and a Type 54 152mm howitzer is 500,000 yuan, both of which are processing prices, and 100 shells are 200,000.

Type 54 122mm howitzer, developed in the early 50s 122mm towed artillery, in the mid-to-late 50s to equip the troops, to replace a variety of old miscellaneous howitzers/mountain guns. This gun is an improved version of the Soviet-style M-1938 and is towed by a car. It is the basic artillery of the artillery regiment of the infantry division and corps (group army). 2-3 battalions per regiment (24-36 guns). The gun adopts a manual screw bolt; the brake and retreat machine and the reentry machine are arranged on the gun body and the lower part respectively; and the sighting device is composed of a Type 58 sight and a Type 58 circumferential sight. THE TYPE 54 122MM TOWED HOWITZER IS EQUIPPED WITH ANTI-PERSONNEL BLASTING GRENADES, INCENDIARY, SMOKE, AND LIGHTING SPECIAL SHELLS.

The specific data is 515 m/s, the maximum firing range is 11800 meters, the minimum firing range is 3400 meters, the direct firing distance is 600 meters, the maximum firing rate is 5-6 rounds per minute, the high and low firing boundaries are -3 degrees to 63.5 degrees, and the directional firing boundaries are 49 degrees on the left and right. In the 21st century, it is enough to fight battleships. The Type 54 152mm howitzer data is not bad, with a muzzle velocity of 508 m / s (grenade), a maximum range of 12400 m (grenade), a directional firing range of 35 degrees, a high and low firing range of -3 degrees to 63.5 degrees, and a maximum rate of fire of 4 rounds per minute.

Of the two types of guns, the Type 54 122mm howitzer Xiao Lin spent 300 million yuan, which is enough to purchase a thousand. And the Type 54 152mm howitzer was only purchased for 100 million, a total of 200 units. Basically, all the inventory was emptied by Shawlin. This is by far the largest batch of weapons that Xiao Lin has purchased, but there are very few shells, basically only one of each type of shell. There is no way, if you don't buy it now, the Chinese side will have to send these two kinds of artillery back to the furnace completely, and you will never be able to buy them again.

In the mid-50s, China did not have specialized high-quality artillery, and that's it, it still played with these two types of artillery. Xiao Lin believed that if it was to be installed on the company's troops, the company's artillery would also be able to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. As for the military who successfully sold this batch of rags, Xiao Lin can be regarded as a great hero this time. This is not over, Xiao Lin took out another 100 million yuan and purchased 800,000 Type 56 submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles.

For this batch of guns, Xiao Lin could only get 10,000 guns. The other 790,000 pieces are Sorento's payment for assisting Xiao Lin in getting this batch of 3,200 heavy guns. Xiao Lin and Sorento discussed, this batch of artillery, directly let Solan consign to Belan's arsenal, and their people are welcome to inspect it at any time to ensure that none of them will flow out. Moreover, the arsenal only researches shells, not manufactures them.

Sorento was a little hesitant at first, and Xiao Lin directly smashed the money, saying that he had all the militia equipment in Belan. Seven hundred and ninety-thousand, which is enough for Sorento to use them. Sorento could only mobilize 400,000 militia at most, and the extra 390,000 guns were reserved, and in case they were damaged, they would also have new guns. Moreover, the expenses incurred in the transportation of this batch of artillery were personally reimbursed by Xiao Lin. Sorento was directly smashed into the circle by Xiao Lin's three-pronged approach, so he naturally agreed.

Shoren wanted to be shipped back to the 18th century, but Sorento wasn't at ease. Such a terrible amount of heavy artillery, if it flowed out, no matter where it flowed, he would be in great trouble. So, the money can only come out. Although it is said that artillery shells are not produced, they will not leave the scope of the arsenal. But these are all to deal with, whether it is artillery or shells, the company must master the production process.

Moreover, if there is a crisis on the company's side, Xiao Lin will definitely take these guns away. However, as long as he doesn't completely turn his face, Shotin will try to ensure that he will not be discovered by the people on Sorento's side. With Xiao Lin's continuous investment, Sorento's power is becoming more and more inseparable from Xiao Lin. Moreover, as more and more high-precision weapons and equipment form combat effectiveness, there will be fewer and fewer restrictions on Xiao Lin's possession of these very backward weapons.

It's not that Xiao Lin doesn't want to find a partner of his own, disguised as an arms trade middleman. However, it is too risky to do so, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Chinese side will not send people to inquire about the whereabouts of these weapons. A large number of weapons did not fall into place, but mysteriously disappeared, and Xiao Lin was inseparable. In order to prevent weapons from flowing into the country, Xiao Lin will inevitably be invited to drink tea by the national security, once he can't provide a place to go for these equipment, even if Xiao Lin has contributed a lot of influence to the country, he will be sentenced to life imprisonment, it's a big deal to live better, eat better, and don't have to work.

And now, at least Sorento has helped him cope with the past. However, Xiao Lin is also planning whether to make a final procurement plan, and directly purchase the last wave and disappear in the 21st century, and will not come back in the future. That was a long time later, though. Xiao Lin felt that he would have to wait at least until he had a population of five million under his command and an army of 100,000. In any case, the procurement of civilian equipment and heavy artillery went very smoothly.

While waiting for Sorento to deliver the guns back to Belan, Sholin brought all the equipment he was able to carry back to the 18th century to begin installation and commissioning.
