C1010 An Unexpected Surprise
Future tank research and development went down a winding road.
As for whether to approach the west or the Bear Country... The higher ups were not sure whether to make a decision. They started to develop the 96 styles. It was almost a complete imitation of the T-72, and the Type/99 that was later on. They were also imitating the Leopard-2, which caused the general usage of the components to be quite low. It was almost as if a new tank had been developed.
Of course, the Han Country would not take the same path now. The current Type 80 Tank was completely an imitation and improved product of the Leopard-2. Due to the large size of the vehicle, there was a lot of potential for it to be upgraded. The engine was also awesome. Other than the limited weight of the bridge, there were no other shortcomings.
Of course, the tanks of Han Country were not meant to fight in the southern water net region. They were meant to defend against the invasion of Bear Country in the north, especially on the grassland. It was the most convenient place for tanks to advance. In such a place, there was no need to consider the importance of the tanks.
Therefore, the domestic tanks had already bypassed the Type 96 and directly evolved to the level of Type/99.
Therefore, the T-72 tank that Qin Guan exchanged for now... It was completely for foreign trade. He could get as many as he wanted. The technology was advanced and the price was cheap. When their production capacity was low, this was the best choice.
Of course, there were also problems. For example, its main cannon was 125 mm caliber, and it was a loaded type of ammunition. Then their own military factory had to start a new production line to produce this kind of artillery shell.
If there was money, everyone would earn it. This way, their military factory could also make a huge profit from producing artillery shells!
Why not?
Qin Guan had no choice but to exchange for the T-72 tank. However, he quickly understood the crux of the matter and no longer had any mental burdens.
It was time to eat, sleep, and sleep!
They were all in the guest house, and the people from Parthia were practically going up and down the stairs. The next morning, Qin Guan was still sleeping when he heard the knocking on the door outside.
"Dong, dong."
"President Qin, President Qin, it's Maggid. We have a reply from our country." The people outside were very anxious. They actually started shouting in the corridor.
Qin Guan and the Elementary Scholar slept in the same room. The Elementary Scholar was very alert and had already sat up. When he heard that it was Maggid, the Elementary Scholar went to open the door and let him in.
"President Qin, our leader has agreed." After entering, Maggid said, "We can use our five C-130 transport planes and four KC-10 Air Refueling Aircraft. Five AH-1 armed helicopters, five CH-47. Five CH-53 to exchange with you. "
Qin Guan couldn't believe his ears when he heard Maggid's words. What Maggid had given him was far more than what he needed!
These equipment, the goods from the Y Country, were all from the Y Country when they were friendly with each other. Now, due to the punishment of the Y Country, all kinds of weapon parts had lost their source. Instead of secretly smuggling them, it was better to follow Qin Guan's plan. He would buy them openly from the Y Country!
If that was the case, he would need to sell these equipment to Han Country in batches!
Each of them had four or five racks. It was not a big deal. After all, they were in urgent need of it. Moreover, they knew that the price the Han Country would get would be the price of vegetables. It was not worth it to sell too many of them.
To Qin Guan, he was naturally overjoyed. If he had C-130, he would be able to simulate his own medium-sized transport aircraft. It would be much better than the eight cargo planes.
There was no need to mention the gas aircraft.
As for the AH-1 Cobra, it was the one that Bale had promised to give to him. With this helicopter, they could broaden their horizons. The other two transport helicopters were even bigger. Big stuff.
This time, it was an unexpected surprise!
Qin Guan had a smile on his face. "No problem, no problem. What do you intend to exchange them for?"
If the other party was willing to give up everything, then they would definitely want a lot of things. Now, Qin Guan was mentally prepared. He would give as much as he wanted!
"Each transport and gas aircraft, 50 tanks, and 10 armored vehicles for each helicopter. In total, we can exchange for 450 tanks and 150 armored vehicles!"
The exchange rate that the other party proposed was very high, but Qin Guan was overjoyed. He did not need to bargain anymore. Wasn't it just him moving the cemetery?
"Okay, no problem." Qin Guan said, "In order to show our sincerity, we have decided to upgrade the tank provided by your side."
The tank they wanted, of course, changed to 59. Now, Qin Guan was in a good mood, so he naturally wouldn't care about this. Just nice, didn't he get those T-72? He might as well express his good intentions to the other party.
As he spoke, Qin Guan put on the outer coat and said, "Let's go. I'll bring you to see our newest tank. I heard that when you guys were on the battlefield, the performance of the 59th modified tank was still slightly inferior. I had to rely on numbers to gain an advantage, so I asked my superior for instructions. I'll give you our latest tank. "2
The latest tank? Hearing Qin Guan's words, Maggid cautiously asked, "Will the price increase?"
"No, it will still be the same price." Qin Guan said, "This can show our friendliness, right?"
We are not just trading, we are also good friends. This is a friendship that we have saved up from the time when the male cat exchanged the J-8.
Look, the whole world has abandoned you. Only our Han Country is still using our friendship to accommodate you. Are you touched?
The other party was very touched.
Of course, Qin Guan would not bring them to the parking lot. The Elementary Scholar was quick and nimble. He had already informed Hee Ribala to prepare. Thus, when Qin Guan brought them... When they arrived at a general assembly workshop, they saw the exit of the workshop. A tank was parked there.
This tank was tall and powerful. One look and you could tell that it was one size bigger than the 59 tank. Especially that cannon barrel, it looked even thicker and longer!
Six pairs of Load Wheel. It was even a pair more than the 59 tank. This meant that it also had a lot of self-importance. If they sold this tank to their side without raising the price, that would naturally be what they wished for!
That was great!
The dark green paint on the tank had not dried yet. However, this color was not good. When they returned, they should paint it into desert yellow.
"This is our newly developed Type 80 Tank." Qin Guan introduced, "Our Type 79 tank is heavy, and its cost is high. It is not suitable to operate in the south's paddy field area. That is why we are working hard to develop this tank. When we are working on it, we used it as a reference for foreign tanks. "
Its outer appearance was completely that of a T-72. This point could not be denied. Qin Guan did not intend to deny it either. He just had to admit it openly.
We used it as a reference, so what? People from Bear Country, come bite me!
"So that's how it is. Its cannon seems to have a bigger caliber." Maggid said.
"Yes, it uses a 125mm cannon and an automatic Loader. Three people can operate it." Qin Guan said as he pulled the Cabin Cover open and brought a few people to take a look.
