Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

The nearly half-century Cold War pattern in the human world has not only enriched the martial virtues of both the Eastern and Western camps.

It has also enabled human technological development to achieve a breakthrough.

From breaking free from gravity and creating the first airplane to Soviet astronauts leaving the earth.

In just sixty years...

The speed of updating and replacing military equipment is so fast that it is dizzying.

The most representative land warfare weapons are the US M1 tank and the Soviet T-80 main battle tank.

Both types of tanks are representative works of the third generation of tanks, equipped with gas turbines, large-caliber smoothbore guns, composite armor, and a variety of on-board technologies.

But then again.

The two superpowers have only completed half of their research on composite armor, smoothbore guns, and gas turbines.

The essence of several technologies has not yet been fully grasped.

In the following test, the two groups of soldiers carried out close-range attacks on the M1 tanks and T-80 tanks respectively.

After being continuously attacked by 40mm rockets, the two tanks suffered serious damage.

Fortunately.

The ammunition inside the tank had been removed in advance.

"God bless you! This trip to Dragon Country is a great opportunity!!!"

General Mahmoud danced with excitement, and his entourage also smiled widely.

The Type 59 tank, which was despised by everyone, has been given a second life in the hands of Longguo scientific researchers.

From the first generation of tanks, it directly skipped over the second generation of tanks and entered the ranks of the third generation of main battle tanks.

Firepower, defense, mobility, everything is outstanding.

There is no harm without comparison. This sentence is fully demonstrated by Lin Kaifeng.

"Boss Lin, Minister Li, thank you for your selfless help from Longguo!!! Longguo is our Bayangguo's best friend. Please forgive my previous rudeness."

"The Type 59 modified tank is selling for three million, no, three and a half million US dollars. It's not expensive at all. It's really a reasonable price!"

General Mahmoud spoke incoherently as he expressed his praise for the Type 59 modified tank.

He apologized to the two of them with an apologetic look on his face.

I am so short-sighted that I use old-fashioned and prejudiced thinking to measure the military technology of Longguo.

Big mistake!

The country of Bayang wants to buy it, and wants to buy it in large quantities.

Whether or not he can get revenge depends entirely on this transaction.

It's no exaggeration.

One Type 59 modified tank is enough to deal with three to four T-72 tanks.

The country of Pakistan purchased a large number of old Type 59 tanks.

The neighboring country, Curry, has a large number of T-72 tanks.

Take the T-72 tank and the 59 modified tank for comparison alone.

The victorious party must be the Bayang Kingdom.

Even if the Soviet Union exported T-80 tanks to Curry, the problem would not be serious.

Li Jinjun looked at Lin Kaifeng meaningfully.

The transaction was led by the Northern Machinery Group, with the Ministry of Ordnance Industry providing supporting support.

How many tanks will be exported and what will be the final contract price.

When the goods can be delivered depends entirely on Lin Kaifeng's decision.

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "General, please calm down. Our two countries have had friendly relations for many years, and we also have common enemies. Recently, Curry Country has massively increased its troops to the border areas, which poses a comprehensive threat to both our Dragon Country and your Bayang Country."

"That's right!"

Before Lin Kaifeng could finish, General Mahmoud cursed with hatred: "The country of Curry should not exist on Earth!!! Its existence has only one purpose, which is to affect the regional situation and destroy human peace."

When it comes to humiliating its old rival, the Bayang Kingdom will not say anything nice.

General Mahmoud did not mind using any words that could be used to belittle and insult the Curry Country.

Following Lin Kaifeng's words, General Mahmoud maliciously mocked the Curry Kingdom for overestimating its own capabilities.

More than 20 years ago, the Curry Kingdom had been taught a lesson by the Dragon Kingdom.

Instead of learning to be honest, he jumped out again and again to shout and provoke.

If Bayang Kingdom was the Dragon Kingdom, it would have been impolite long ago.

When it is time to strike, strike. In one battle, the Curry Kingdom was severely damaged.

Lin Kaifeng nodded slightly and said, "Since the general has no objection to the price we offered, why don't we go to the conference room to discuss the details of the transaction?"

"No problem, let's go now."

General Mahmoud said impatiently.

Soon, everyone returned to the automobile factory meeting room.

The export price of a Type 59 modified tank is three million US dollars. For every tank purchased by Pakistan, it needs to purchase an additional two hundred thousand worth of arms.

Including bullets and various types of rifles.

In addition to these, the performance of the 59 modified tank is too advanced.

The Bayang State is temporarily unable to carry out repairs and maintenance.

Adhering to the basic principle that the two countries are good friends, the Northern Machinery Group will work with the manufacturer of the 59 modified tank to send a group of technicians to help Pakistan become familiar with the maintenance procedures of the 59 modified tank at half price.

Once a tank breaks down, the Northern Machinery Group will provide repair parts to the Bayang Kingdom at a relatively reasonable price.

From tank turrets and armor to even a screw, everything was priced by Lin Kaifeng.

That evening.

General Mahmoud gave the official reply.

Six hundred Type 59 modified tanks were imported from Longguo at one time.

At US$18 million per tank, the total transaction price of tanks was US$ billion.

Plus $1.2 million in conventional arms orders.

The total price is close to 20 billion US dollars.

The money will be paid by the desert country.

The Bayang Kingdom had only one request.

Within two months, Lin Kaifeng needs to deliver half of the tanks.

That is three hundred Type 59 modified tanks.

It was not difficult for Lin Kaifeng and Li Jinjun to see that the Bayang Kingdom was going to launch an attack first.

Our ancestors said it well.

With a sharp knife in hand, murderous intent arises.

The grievances between the Kingdom of Bayang and the Kingdom of Curry lasted for decades.

In the years before, there were constant conflicts of varying sizes between the two countries.

Large-scale wars broke out three times, and each time ended with the defeat of the Bayang Kingdom.

Although the Bayang Kingdom achieved many tactical victories during the war.

But no matter how many tactical victories there are, they cannot change the course of the battle.

A defeat is a defeat.

The anger in the heart of the Bayang Kingdom did not disappear with the end of the war, but instead became more and more intense.

The three wars emptied the treasury of the Bayang Kingdom.

A large amount of territory and population were lost in the war.

Seeing that Li Jinjun was about to say something, Lin Kaifeng immediately gave him a look.

Seeing this, Li Jinjun swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Lin Kaifeng said: "Minister Li and I understand your urgency and are willing to deliver the first batch of 300 tanks within the time limit you set. However, we must face the objective problems."

"what is the problem?"

Hearing Lin Kaifeng's strange tone, General Mahmoud suddenly became anxious.

"Is there a problem with the tank production? Can't they produce enough tanks for us within two months?"

"There will definitely be no problem with production. Longguo has its own efficient process for weapons production. Under normal circumstances, tanks can roll off the production line in one and a half months rather than two months. The main problem is the delivery time."

Lin Kaifeng sighed, looking very embarrassed.
